Hojo Ushimasa proposed to use loans to provide counterpart assistance, intimidating the people of the East and cutting people with soft knives.
Takeda Shingen filled in the loopholes for her and hid behind the scenes of the great movement launched by the blue-clad people to fuel the flames, forcing the people of the East to have no choice but to bow their heads and admit defeat.
Kenshin Uesugi thought for a moment and asked.
"There is no turning back. Once we make a bet, we can only go all the way to the end, betting that the people in the East will eventually surrender.
Inciting public opinion is no small matter. If there are mistakes in the process and the saint notices the clues, will they follow the people in blue and find us out?
There is nothing wrong with the spontaneous moral behavior of the middle and lower classes, but if it is discovered that there is instruction from the top, it will probably arouse the resentment of the saints and cause the saints to have unnecessary misunderstandings about us. "
Hojo Ushimasa was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly, this was indeed a problem.
Takeda Shingen bowed slightly and smiled.
"If your Highnesses can trust you, leave this matter to me.
It is the people in blue who are inciting public opinion. We only use the political platform of the Kanto Palace, uphold the righteousness of the Wu family, and tend to sympathize with the young Ji warriors who stand up for the righteousness.
If there is really too much trouble and the saint is dissatisfied, the people in blue will also be the unlucky ones. What does it have to do with us?
Relevant initiatives of the Guandong Palace must be voted on by the Grand Council. The Saint has always supported the collective efforts of the Guandong Palace. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public.
The three of us hide behind the scenes and let the close United Front members propose deliberations. Who can put the responsibility on us?
Besides, if you really want to catch a plausible mastermind, you can only catch Dao Shengmeng.
After the battle of Miyoshi and the battle of Shimozou, most of the core warriors in blue have obtained the Shiba establishment. The Tomusashi land where they came from will soon be merged into the Kanto Shiba territory.
As far as I know, Shima Katsuo has recently been very enthusiastic about recruiting officials who have contributed to this battle, and wants to cultivate useful talents for the newly expanded Kanto Spur Territory.
The Kanto Shiba Territory is so small that it swallows the big one. The hundreds of thousands of stones in the East Musashi Territory are so powerful that it is hard to swallow.
She urgently needs a trustworthy group of Ji warriors to manage the new territory, and a samurai group loyal to the saint like the Blue Clothes is naturally the best choice.
Osato County is the origin of this movement, and the Blue Clothes are the initiators of this movement. Both belong to the territory of Higashi Musashi and are under the jurisdiction of Shima Shengmu.
If the saint really wants to trace the source and find out the mastermind behind the scenes, Shima Shengmu, the agent of Kanto Shiba, must be responsible for this. He cannot avoid this responsibility.
Do you think the saint would be willing to deal with Dao Shengmeng? "
After hearing Takeda Shingen's plan, Uesugi Kenshin and Hojo Umasa looked strange, looked at each other, and shook their heads together.
It was clear to all that Shiba Yiyin was a naughty person. The three women present had slept with him and had children with him.
The Higashi Musashi Territory was a problem forced by Shiba Yoshiyuki to Shima Katsume. In a short period of time, the Kanto Shiba Territory expanded tenfold, and the new Shiba establishment was mixed with dragons and snakes, which would inevitably cause problems.
Dao Shengmeng was pregnant, and even integrated the rebel army to capture Guansu City. Everyone knew that she loved the saint deeply.
With Shiba Yiyin's character of attaching great importance to friendship, there was no way he would let Shima Shengmeng take the blame. How could he be willing to let this conscientious and loving Samurai Hime be wronged?
What's more, Dao Shengmeng had a fetal abnormality due to exhaustion from the war, and he was still nursing his fetus. Politically speaking, he was equivalent to a golden body. Who dared to investigate him?
Above, the saint does not investigate. Below, no one dares to look closely.
Shima Katsuo's invincible windshield was blocking the front, so the three Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo girls could not get any wind or be affected at all.
Even if Shiba Yiyin had doubts about the three women, it was impossible for him to do anything to the mother of his child without evidence.
In fact, even if there is evidence, nothing will happen.
This is a feudal society where relatives are secluded from each other. What Sibo Yiyin wants to establish is a theocracy that pays most attention to pure blood.
Even if he gets the evidence, he will most likely rebuke him privately and get furious because of his incompetence. It is impossible for such a thing to really be put on the table.
The three Uesugi, Takeda, and Hojo girls just didn't want to get into trouble with Shiba Yoshigan and hurt each other's feelings. Now that they had found an excellent scapegoat, Shima Katsuruo, the three of them were no longer worried.
Currently, Shiba Yoshigan has three daughters and two pregnancies. Apart from the Yuigahama lineage, which is covered up, there are only four publicly known divine descendants.
The three girls of Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo are working together to cause trouble. Takeda Shingen proposes to cheat Shima Katsuki, and the other two girls are of course happy to see it happen.
Everyone said they were united, but in their hearts they wished they could see their love rivals in bad luck and step on each other's feet when they had the chance, and each one was more excited than the other.
Three women in one drama, this is a trick to trap the absent fourth person.
At this point in the tea party, the three girls are very satisfied.
The soft knife on the Eastern People's credit has been solved, the big movement to coerce the Eastern People has been found, and even the unlucky guy who will take the blame afterwards has been identified.
After the matter was settled, Uesugi Kenshin took the lead in picking up the tea cup, took a sip, then stood up and said.
"Nice tea. Thank you His Highness Hojo for your warm hospitality. It's getting late, so I'll stay soon."
The sun had just passed noon, which was the time when the sun was the brightest in a day. Uesugi Kenshin opened his eyes and told lies. She just wanted to leave.
Now that we’ve finished talking about the business, what else is there to talk about with the love rival? Should we talk about parenting? I'll feel sick if I stay any longer, so it's better to go home early.
Takeda Shingen stood up and said with a smile.
"There are still some military matters in the Furukawa Territory, and I should go back to deal with them early. Thank you His Highness Hojo for your hospitality. We will meet again when we have time."
The Takeda family is far away in the Koshin Mountains. Takeda Shingen came in a hurry this time and brought a group of horse-riding warriors to go ahead. He had some shitty military affairs to deal with.
Kenshin Uesugi is too lazy to pretend to be harmonious, and Shingen Takeda has his own dignity. The three women know each other well, but they all hate each other and can't fight each other, so they can only reluctantly cooperate.
Now that the cooperation has been agreed, why should we compromise and compromise.
Hojo Umasa stood up with a smile, holding his belly and said.
"The two Highnesses are leaving, so I don't force them to stay. However, I am not in good shape to see off guests, so I have no choice but to say goodbye to the two Highnesses here. Please don't blame me."
The two Uesugi and Takeda girls glanced at Hojo Ushimasa's belly which was less than three months old. They had all been here before, so they knew that it was true that they felt a little uncomfortable at this time, but since they couldn't see off the distinguished guests, it was definitely a lie.
As for Hojo Umasa, she just didn't want to give it away.
Looking at the disappearing figures of Uesugi and Takeda, the smile on Hojo's face gradually solidified, and he couldn't help but lower his head and retched.
The servant in the distance quickly stepped forward, held up a spit basin, and knelt in front of Hojo Ushimasa to make her position easier to vomit.
Hojo Umasa retched a few times, but nothing came out. She was not a physiological reaction to morning sickness, but she was mentally sick and couldn't help but vomit.
After scolding the servant who was holding the basin, Hojo Ushimasa turned around and picked up the documents on the loan counterpart assistance plan on the table, and waved to Hatamoto who was waiting in the distance.
Samurai Hime stepped forward and bowed. Hojo Umasa pointed to the tea table and tea sets behind him and said calmly.
"Take them all out and burn them."
The Hime Samurai was stunned, as if he thought he heard wrongly, and Hojo Ushimasa frowned.
"Don't you understand me? I say throw out this tea table and tea set and burn it!"
The Ji warrior had a sad face.
"Your Highness, how can the tea set be burned?"
Hojo Umasa looked at her coldly.
"Whether it's crushed or smashed, in short, I don't want to see these things anymore and let them disappear."
After saying that, Hojo Ushimasa took the documents and walked to the front hall. She also wanted to rush back to Kagoshima Castle to carefully review today's tea party conversation.
The relationship between the three Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo families is delicate. Every word spoken by the three girls today must be carefully considered in retrospect.
Overtly it was Dao Shengmeng who was tricked, but secretly, who knew who was digging a hole for whom.
The Hojo clan left in a dashing manner, leaving the warrior Hime with a dull look on his face.
The tea tables and tea sets here are very expensive, and the housekeeper just smashes them when he wants. It's really a waste of money.
But it won't work without smashing it. Ever since she got pregnant, the house governor's temper has been very irritable. If he knew that he was acting in a secret way, he would be in big trouble.
The Hime Samurai didn't know it yet, but Hojo Ujimasa was already quite restrained.
Hojo Ushimasa originally wanted to burn the ancient pavilion as well, but he gave up after remembering that the Hikawa Shrine was a scenic spot, so he just smashed the tea sets and burned the tea table.
When Hojo Ushimasa thought about Takeda Shingen forcibly humiliating the saint and taking the seeds to give birth to a child, and then thinking about Uesugi Kenshin being condescending and treating himself as a heroine, he became angry.
If it weren't for the situation, Hojo Ujimasakai wouldn't want to cooperate with Uesugi Takeda, bah! nausea! How disgusting!
In fact, Hojo Ushimasa was not the only one who was disgusted.
Uesugi Kenshin said goodbye to Takeda Shingen outside the torii gate. As soon as he got on his horse and ran for a while, he made a few noises towards the roadside.
She just took a slight sip of the cup of tea, but the unique smell of green plum tea lingered on, always reminding her subconsciously of the disgusting incident of drinking tea with Hojo Takeda at the same table.
Uesugi Kenshin suddenly remembered that he seemed to be the only one among the three girls sitting there who drank tea, while the other two girls only commented on the green plum tea from beginning to end without drinking a sip.
Thinking of this, Uesugi Kenshin felt even more disgusted. He couldn't help but cursed hypocrisy and slapped the horse's butt with a whip.
The war horse was in pain, so it picked up speed and rushed out towards Furukawa City.
Looking at Uesugi Kenshin's great performance, Takeda Shingen's eyes were a little wandering.
The Takeda family is far away in the land of Koshin and has an estranged relationship with Sekishu. It is not easy for Takeda Shingen to replace the Satake family and take over the Hitachi Kingdom.
The tradition of the island country is that small groups stick together and exclude foreigners. Although the Takeda and Satake families are from the same family, they are relatives from five hundred years ago. It is not easy to replace them.
Even if you get the status of a saint and successfully force the Satake family away, the local samurai family in Hitachi Kingdom will still be dissatisfied and it will be difficult to stand firm.
This is why Takeda Shingen talked about the big movement of the blue-clad people and proposed a strategy to fan the flames.
The Hojo family and the Uesugi family both have territory in Kanhachi Province. If this fire is lit, who knows whether it will cause fire and burn oneself.
Only the Takeda family stayed out of the matter, far away in the Koshishin Mountains, and it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.
Kenshin Uesugi was impatient, and the Hojo clan was immature in politics. The two girls were eventually fooled by Takeda Shingen. This trick was supposed to be a trap for the island, but in fact it was a trap for all the samurai families in the entire Kanhachi Province.
No matter the final result is that the people in the East bow their heads and admit defeat, or that both the Eastern and Western martial arts families suffer losses, or it simply burns to the ground.
It would be beneficial and harmless to the Takeda family in the future to enter the Kanba Province.
Such drastic methods as reporting the unjust and killing at eleven will completely destroy the geographical trust that the Guanbazhou martial arts family has built up over hundreds of years.
Children can report their parents, and sisters and friends can report each other. Except for the lofty saints, there is no trust between people.
Maybe it won't be so extreme at first, but as the reporter gets benefits and the person being reported is punished, everyone will become fearful, suspicious of everything, and strive to take the initiative and strike first.
As Uesugi Kenshin said, once the butcher knife is raised, no matter how high-sounding the reason is, it will not end until the person is killed.
The saint was very naive. He thought that as long as he tolerated each other and bridged differences, he could achieve a unified Guanbazhou.
Takeda Shingen liked his kindness and kindness, but could not agree with his naive political strategy.
Human nature cannot withstand the test. Once the evil of human nature is released, it will be terrifying and terrifying.
Forced by the Takeda retainers to expel his mother, Takeda Shingen, who has been fighting against the retainers openly and secretly for these years, understands human nature too well.
The mountain people are poor and do not have as many twists and turns as people outside the mountains. In order to survive, they may even carry their parents up the mountain and abandon them, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Never overestimate human nature. It is difficult to establish moral standards, but once the bottom line is broken, the moral decline will be very rapid and bottomless.
As long as the big movement in Kanhachishu really takes off, Yua Kito, a young man, will not be able to control it at all, nor will the three Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo families.
The intertwined relationships between Guan Bazhou and Guanbazhou for hundreds of years will be burned to the point of being severely damaged, or even wiped out. The vast white area is really clean.
At that time, the saint will truly have gained control of the eight states, and the local resistance to the Takeda family's entry into Hitachi Kingdom will be minimized.
Both the saint and the Takeda family benefited. For Takeda Shingen, this is called a win-win situation.
As for Uesugi Kenshin, Hojo Umasa, Shimakatsu Takeo, etc., they have always been the targets of Takeda Shingen's use. How much loss will they suffer from this? What does Takeda Shingen have to do with it?
Takeda Shingen doesn't care about their feelings at all. It would be best if these annoying women die cleanly.
