Yoshihiro returned to Furukawa City, accompanied by Miaoyin monk and other male troops. Soon, the three eldest daughters of the Narita family came from Kansu Castle with troops from Liang Guofan, Nagao Xianxian.
Yura Shigege, Nagao Tocho, and Narita Choyasu, who participated in the New Year's Review at the Echigo Imperial Palace, received the news and arrived too late. They hurried back to the territory, only to learn of the accident at home.
The three daughters were all idiots, hesitant in the face of the rebellion, and did not immediately raise an army after receiving the saint's letter, forcing Miaoyin Monk to form an army of men to go out to fight for the saint.
When the three family governors, Yu Liang and Cheng Fan, arrived at Furukawa City on horseback, the three juniors, Yu Liang and Guofan, naturally knelt down outside the porch. Monk Miaoyin was invited to take the throne, and the three family governors were willing to accompany him to the banquet.
This matter is very dangerous. The three house governors are meeting at the Grand Council, and the three young masters are in charge of housework at home, and each one is more stupid than the other.
If Monk Miaoyin hadn't acted decisively, the three families would have been embarrassed to death if they really waited for the saint to escape.
Among the three, the relationship between Liangchengfan and Changwei Dangchang is deeper.
The eldest daughter, Ryo Kunishige, inherited the family business from Ryo Narashige. The adopted second daughter was Nagao, who changed the name to Nagao to show her length, and inherited the Ashikaga Castle Nagao family.
The relationship between Narita Chotae and Narita Chotae became a little distant. Originally, Ryo Narita Shigeru married his son Shigejun to Narita Chotae's daughter, Narita clan leader. The two families joined forces and cooperated happily.
However, the Narita retainers group actually wanted the Narita clan leader to reconcile with Shigeki-kun and switch to the more powerful Hojo family, which caused a rift in the relationship between the two families.
What's even more embarrassing is that the Hojo family was blasted by the Saint, and their upward momentum was seriously frustrated. On the contrary, Jinshan City's Yuliang family had a close relationship with the saint, and they actually became the hegemon in the central part of Guanbazhou.
Shigejun's son was favored by the saint and adopted as his adopted son, so that the Narita family in Ninja City did not dare to mess around.
Narita Nagata simply went against all the opinions at home and moved closer to Yura Chengshige, and the relationship between the two families became close again.
No matter what happened between the three families, the Yuliang family now clearly occupies a dominant position and has become the leader of the three families.
This status actually comes from the close relationship between Youliangjia and the saint. Maintaining the friendship with the saint is the political correctness that Youliangjia must adhere to.
But even the three daughters from the three families couldn't understand such an important matter, and almost screwed it up. Monk Miaoyin led his husbands on an expedition, and more than half of the male army was killed or injured, finally retaining the saint's favor.
Even if the samurai outside joke that the Yura family's Hime warriors are not as powerful as men, it is better than the saint becoming disheartened and no longer caring for the Yura family.
Therefore, Monk Miaoyin can sit on top of the three family governors. The three heads of the family are truly grateful for his decisiveness, while the three stupid daughters only deserve to kneel outside and obey.
In addition, the most handsome boy present is Shigeki-kun's son Kai-kun.
In this war, Yura Shige's biggest surprise was this grandson, because his bravery and good fighting skills made the saint favor him even more, and even gave him 20,000 kilo in Enguansu City.
Speaking of power status, Kai-kun is already qualified to be on an equal footing with the three family governors, and higher than the three young masters kneeling outside the corridor, because they are all Kanto daimyo with a territory of tens of thousands of koku.
The Wu family attaches great importance to etiquette and does not allow disorder of order, so at this moment, Kai-kun is sitting in the seat second only to the three family governors, which shows his status.
This is a courtyard in Furukawa Castle Town, where the Yura family's caravan base is located. This time the war is about to stop, and when the family governor arrives, it is natural to clear it out for the master's family to rest and live.
The three family governors just arrived and ordered the three young masters to kneel outside the corridor, and then took Miaoyin Monk to understand the situation and talk about the matter.
This conversation lasted from morning to afternoon.
After all, Miaoyin Monk is a man, and he still loves his daughter deep down. Seeing that the three daughters have been suffering for a long time, he finally couldn't help but say.
"The punishment is enough. Let them all come in. My mouth is dry. In order for them to hear clearly outside, my voice is so tired that I am hoarse."
Yura Narashige snorted, knowing that her husband was feeling sorry for his daughter, so in other words, a loving father often loses his daughter, and the discipline is not good.
Monk Miaoyin was not afraid of his wife's anger and looked straight at her.
The husband and wife are both ruthless people. They live under the same roof, but they quarrel a lot every day. They quarreled so much that Monk Miaoyin became a monk. Who is afraid of whom? Who are you humming to?
The long tail came out to smooth things over and shouted.
"All three of you, come in! Sit down and listen carefully to see what stupid things you have done!"
The long-tailed one had great strength and great face, so Yura Chengshige had no choice but to acquiesce, watching the three idiot-like daughters enter the room and salute, and sat obediently at the bottom without daring to raise their heads.
Yura Chengshige felt tight in his chest when he thought that each family's business was prosperous, but in the end it would be handed over to these idiots.
But what can she do? No matter how bastard you are, this is your biological child!
After looking at Kai-kun again and wondering why he wasn't born as a girl, Yura Narashigi regained his attention and asked.
"Where did we just talk?"
Monk Miaoyin replied firmly.
"Speaking of Chaojun, your memory is getting worse and worse, you are really getting old.
Chaojun has returned from Yuuki City. The Yuuki family's response this time is a bit slow. They are worried that they will be held accountable by the saint afterwards, so they ask us to help smooth things over.
After all, Harusuke Kada's Sekisu Castle is gone, so the Yuuki family is naturally afraid. "
Yura Narashige automatically ignored her husband's words about her and said.
"Kada Harusuke had her own way of killing herself. She ignored the saint's safety by accepting money and invited the saint to visit the ancient river in the spring. Satake Yishige severely tricked her into it. That was her own stupidity.
Such an important city as Guansu Castle was attacked by Satake Yoshitaka in one fell swoop, cutting off the rebel army's passage south to support the Saint, and almost destroying the Saint's war plan. How insane.
If the saints are not willing to deal with people like Kada Harusuke ruthlessly, they will really be out of control from now on.
As for the Yuki family, given the achievements of the men's army this time, Miaoyin, go and ask for a favor from the saint. Can the saint not give you face?
After all, the Yuuki family was indeed on the side of the saint. They did not collude with the rebels, but were just a little slow to react. The saint didn't even want to punish the rebels severely, so how could he embarrass the Yuuki family? "
Monk Miaoyin nodded slightly, feeling that what Yuliang Chengfan said was reasonable.
At this time, Narita Chotai interrupted.
"The saint is kind, but the rebels are wreaking havoc on the country and endangering the saint. He can't bear to punish him severely for such a great evil, and he even wants to excuse the people in the east.
This is really hard to understand. "
The Narita family in Ninja City has always been on the wrong team in recent years, and Narita Chotai has become a little unconfident.
At that time, Kenshin Uesugi and Yoshihiro Shiba joined forces and went south to conduct the Kanto strategy. They defeated the Hojo Army in the battle of Sano, fought all the way to Sagami Province, and besieged Odawara Castle.
At that time, Narita Nagayasu actively followed the coalition forces on the expedition and participated in the attack on the Hojo family.
As a result, at the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura, Uesugi Kenshin inherited the Kanto governorship ceremony.
Uesugi Kenshin, who did not know that the Narita family was exempted from the gift, thought it was very rude for Narita Chotae to sit on the horse and look directly at him. He was so angry that he slapped Narita Chotae in public.
Narita Nagata could not bear the humiliation and left the coalition forces without permission to return to his own country.
Who knew that Hojo Genan had been secretly encouraging various families to withdraw their troops. Everyone saw that Narita Nagatai was the leader, and they dispersed, causing the Kanto strategy to be abandoned halfway.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Shiba Yigen performed a miracle at Hachimangu Shrine and exchanged his imperial flag for Hachiman Tainiang's imperial white flag, thus stabilizing the situation.
After the miracle, all the withdrawing families were frightened and knelt down in front of the returning Uesugi-Shiba coalition forces, and Narita Choyasu was no exception.
Although everyone performed a political drama to clear up the past feud, the discord between Uesugi Kenshin and Narita Nagayasu has been difficult to clear up.
Uesugi Kenshin took advantage of the moment when Shiba Yoshigan left Kanto and launched a new round of offensive without authorization. As a result, he was defeated by the whole country. Hojo Ujiyasu made a brilliant counterattack, and the Hojo family made a comeback.
Narita Nagayasu of Ninja City once again broke away from the jurisdiction of the Uesugi family and remained neutral in the Musashi country. He repeatedly jumped between the Uesugi family and the Hojo family, and was even vaguely closer to the Hojo family.
However, the good times did not last long. Shiba Yiyin returned to Kanto and made good friends with the Miaoyin monk of the Yuliang family in Jinshan City. He used the channels of the local brotherhood to go south to more than 200 villages in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River for on-site inspections.
In the end, the Samurai Giri Promotion Association was established to seek benefits for the middle and lower-class samurai families in Kanba Prefecture, and the Kanto Palace once again stabilized the situation and suppressed the Hojo family.
Today, the Uesugi family and the Hojo family have joined hands under the political framework of the Kanto Palace.
Even though Uesugi Kenshin and Hojo Ushimasa disliked each other due to their personal feelings, the two families, both of the three powerful vassals, had common interests on some major issues, such as attacking the people of the East.
The Uesugi family and the Hojo family can join forces to cooperate, but Narita Nagayasu, who is sitting on the fence between the two parties, is particularly embarrassed.
This person is not afraid of standing in the wrong team once, but he is afraid of standing in the wrong team again and again. No matter how big his family fortune is, he is not enough to cause such disaster.
Seeing that the Yura family is prospering, the Narita family is forced to move closer to this in-law family, which is a helpless choice.
Therefore, when Yura Chengshige mentioned that the saint was unwilling to take heavy responsibility for the rebels, Narita Chotae became a little nervous. The waters of the Kanto Palace were getting more and more muddy, and he became more and more confused. He was afraid that he would be on the wrong team again this time.
Changwei sighed.
“This matter seems complicated, but it is actually very simple.
After this disastrous defeat, the people in the East were completely frightened of the saint. It was difficult for them to resist, and they could only feel submissive.
They were no longer a threat to the saint. Instead, they were the aggressive Kanto servants who looked so ugly that the saint was disgusted.
The eight states of Guanzhou have fallen into the hands of the Saint. The Saint does not want to see the contradiction intensify, let alone see the Guandong Palace once again forcing the people of the East to jump over the wall.
Although the rebellion was suppressed this time, the strength of the four countries in Kanto was actually not consumed much.
Satomi Yoshihiro was defeated after losing a few people, Satake Yoshishige bowed his head and surrendered without even having a face-to-face fight with the sage, and each family of the Oriental Host still had strength.
The biggest problem now is that because the people from the East launched a surprise attack just in time for spring plowing and farming, this year's autumn harvest will definitely be reduced.
Because of the war in Xia Zongguo, spring plowing has been disrupted, and the harvest may even be lost.
It would be terrible if the four eastern kingdoms plus the lower kingdom all fell into a great famine after the autumn.
The saint now does not care about holding the people of the East accountable for their crimes. What he is most worried about is that the famine in the autumn will trigger a new round of chaos.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing. The strength of the people in the East is not compromised, but if the Guandong Palace forces the people too much, I am afraid of the Queen of Autumn. .
The saint is not interested in talking about right or wrong at all, let alone how to punish the people in the East. What the saint wants is stability, and stability is more important than anything else.
The most important thing now is to let the four eastern countries have food to eat after autumn. Even if they are half hungry, it is better than falling into a full-scale famine.
The policy of counterpart assistance is imperative, and the saint will never give in on this point.
But Takeda Uesugi Hojo and even we have no obligation to take care of the famine in the four eastern countries. This is what they asked for themselves. What does it have to do with us?
Even if His Highness Uesugi and His Highness Takeda were willing to compromise, they could not convince the retainers to recognize this so-called counterpart assistance.
Furthermore, the other families in the Kanto Palace are now following the three powerful feudal clans as their guide. If the three powerful feudal clans cannot speak justice for everyone, why should everyone follow the three powerful feudal clans?
If the three powerful vassals cannot withstand the pressure, it will be difficult to build up their prestige once it is weakened.
His Highness Uesugi and His Highness Takeda are also riding on the back of a tiger, and they cannot compromise with the Sage. "
As he talked, Changwei couldn't help but sigh, it's really troublesome.
The matter of helping each other is not about who is right or wrong, but that no one can give in. This knot is difficult to solve. I don’t know how the saint will solve it.
From the standpoint of Nagao being the leader, she didn't want the sage and Uesugi Kenshin to have too much trouble.
Narita Nagayasu had offended Uesugi Kenshin, but Nagao Tocho was Uesugi Kenshin's most valued retainer of Sekishu.
The Ashikaga Castle Nagao family, the head office Shirai Nagao family, and the Echigo Nagao family are the three branches of the Nagao clan.
The Nagao family of Ashikaga Castle was the earliest head of the Yamauchi Uesugi family. He had a high status, so he could occupy Ashikaga Castle, which is named after the Ashikaga family's Miao character.
After that, the head office of the Shirai Nagao family rose up and replaced the Ashikaga Castle Nagao family as the head of the Yamauchi Uesugi family, coming from behind.
However, as the Uesugi family in Yamauchi was destroyed by the Hojo family, the Nagao family of the Shirai family also declined, and now they are just the followers of Kenshin Uesugi.
As for the Echigo Nagao family, they used to serve Echigo and guard Uesugi, and were divided into three branches: Fushi, Ueda, and Fuchu.
Afterwards, the Nagao family in Fuchu defeated the superiors and seized Echigo Kingdom. The person who did this was Uesugi Kenshin's mother.
The Fuchu Nagao family was Uesugi Kenshin's head family, but after she inherited the Yamauchi Uesugi family, the Fuchu Nagao family was theoretically extinct and became the new Uesugi family.
Uesugi Kenshin inherited the Yamauchi Uesugi family, and naturally inherited the title of the Yamauchi Uesugi family. The head office, Shirai Nagao, and Ashikaga Castle Nagao were both Yamauchi Uesugi's retainers, so they became her retainers.
Nagao Tocho is the governor of the Nagao family of Ashikaga Castle in this generation, and he is a famous loyal minister of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi.
Under the persuasion of his predecessor Uesugi Kenmasa, Nagao chose to be loyal to Uesugi Kenshin, helped the Echigo army cross the Ashio Mountains, and launched a joint battle with the Hojo family in the Sano Territory and won a great victory.
Nagao is not only loyal and reliable, but also very capable, so he is naturally favored and trusted by Uesugi Kenshin.
After destroying the Akai family in Tatebayashi City, Uesugi Kenshin handed over the important town of Tatebayashi City to the Nagao chief, which made the strength of the Nagao family in Ashikaga Castle even higher.
Nagao, the commander-in-chief of the two important cities of Ashikaga Castle and Tatebayashi Castle, was close to the Uesugi family, so he was naturally worried that the relationship between Uesugi Kenshin and the saint would become unhappy because of the help from his counterpart.
The Nagao family of Ashikaga Castle has been very popular in recent years because they have Uesugi Kenshin behind them.
Although Nagao is married to Yura Narashige, this does not mean that she does not want to maintain a good relationship with the Uesugi family. Who doesn't want to leave an extra road these days?
Narita Nagayasu is at odds with the Uesugi family, while Nagao Tocho is close to the Uesugi family.
The Miaoin monk sitting in the main seat was born in the Akai family of Tatebayashi City, which was the Akai family that was suppressed and destroyed by Uesugi Kenshin. He naturally hated Uesugi Kenshin and was close to the saint.
In addition, the strong alliance built by the marriage of Shimoso-goku Yuki family, who is good with the Hojo family, and Shigeyoshi Yoshinoge, is actually not very strong, right?
Yuliang Chengfan sighed in his heart.
The saint and the Guandong Palace must maintain harmony and reach a consensus, otherwise the marriage network of the good families will be disrupted, and each will be his own master, making it difficult to unite.
In fact, the martial arts families all over Guanbazhou are the same. The relationship between them is complicated. Whoever fights with whom will be dragged down one by one like a domino effect.
The best political choice is what the saint said: peaceful development, unity and coexistence, and stability above all else.
A saint is a saint, he is far-sighted.
