Takeda Genzaemon, what are you talking about? Uesugi Tsunakatsu was already angry, "Who is the poorest in Japan?" "
Although the whole of Japan knows that Yonezawa is the poorest feudal lord in Japan, and Uesugi Tsunakatsu is the poorest feudal lord in Japan, he is a poor third generation who has been on the blacklist of dishonest people since he was born... In Edo, the citizens In order to get rid of the "gold gas" in the iron pot, white paper with "Yonezawa" written on it is often stuck on the bottom of the pot! But within the Yonezawa domain, no one dared to say in front of Uesugi Tsunakatsu that he was the poorest in Japan!
This is taboo!
It is best not to even say the word "poor"... Of course, Uesugi Tsunakatsu himself can call others poor, but others cannot say "poor" in front of him, otherwise the feudal lord will be angry.
Now Takeda Shinji actually said "Japan's poorest" in front of Uesugi Tsunakatsu. If it wasn't for Shingen Gong's face, he would have drawn his sword and killed him.
"Lord!" Takeda Shinji was like crazy. He didn't care that Uesugi Tsunakatsu was going to die of anger and continued to tell the truth, "You are recognized as the poorest in Japan! Don't you know? Outside Yonezawa Domain , everyone knows that you are the poorest in Japan..."
"Baga!" Uesugi Tsunakatsu started to curse Japan, "No matter how poor I am, I am still the lord of Yonezawa with 300,000 koku...and you, a descendant of Koshu Takeda, are just a feudal lord with 1,000 koku, and There are many people in the family, and they are often so poor that they can’t blame themselves! Aren’t you ashamed? Are you worthy of Lord Shingen with your miserable life? Are you worthy of being a descendant of Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu if you are so unwilling to make progress? You can still be considered a famous person like this Samurai?"
"Lord," Takeda Shinji looked at Uesugi Tsunakatsu with a tragic face and said word by word, "I have realized my shame! So I am going to rebel...to rebel against the Tokugawa family!"
"You..." Uesugi Tsunakatsu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Everyone has realized their shame and is going to rebel against the Tokugawa family. Takeda Shingen and Minamoto Yoshimitsu saw it in the sky, so they should feel relieved, right?
Even if there is only death in the end, it can be considered that we have worked hard to regain the inheritance of our ancestors and died a worthy death!
But what about yourself? Uesugi Tsunakatsu thought to himself: Lord Kenshin was famous for his bravery back then! And now he is the number one poor person... Although he is still the master of Yonezawa's 300,000 stones, does it make sense to live on like this? When Lord Qianxin sees himself like this in heaven, he will definitely be very sad, right?
Seeing that Uesugi Tsunakatsu was silent, Takeda Shinji had already taken out an envelope and handed it over with both hands, "My lord, this is a personal letter to you from the husband of Emperor Kobuin, Prince Daimyo Ning..."
"Nani?" Uesugi Tsunakatsu glared at Takeda Shinji, "What's going on?"
"My Lord, Prince Da Mingning has also learned about the death of Duke Iemitsu..." Takeda Nobuyoshi said, "He is ready to fight back to Japan with Emperor Kobuin to help the Emperor re-enthrone! If you can help the emperor regain the throne!" Zefan raises the flag of justice, and after the deed is accomplished, he can become the lord of Echigo again!"
"Be the Lord of Echigo again?" Uesugi Tsunakatsu took a breath and returned to Echigo!
The people of Yonezawa Domain like to play Kenshin Gong the most. After drinking a few drinks, they will brag about Kenshin Gong's past... It seems that only by being immersed in the glory of their ancestors can they forget the things in real life. hardship.
Perhaps all the Yonezawa samurai had imagined living in the Warring States Period and following Lord Kenshin to defeat Takeda and Hojo? Oh, except for Takeda Shinji in front of him... the places that haunt him must be Kai Country and Shinano Country!
Uesugi Tsunakatsu had already read the letter. In the letter, Zhu Cijiong assured him that as long as he was willing to raise troops in the Yonezawa domain, he could attract the troops of Masayuki Hoshina, who was stationed in Echigo, to fight. Then Emperor Kobuin's 50,000 troops will land in Echigo! Then he went straight to Kyoto to restore the Emperor Taisho to the military academy.
By then the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate will be near!
Once the Tokugawa shogunate is destroyed, the Uesugi family will be granted the title of Echigo Kingdom (excluding Sado Island) and Ueno Han Kingdom...the total stone height can reach more than 1 million stones!
Uesugi million stones!
Uesugi Tsunakatsu's heart was pounding with excitement!
This is the territory he dreams of getting back. Once he gets it back, he will no longer be the poorest in Japan, and he will no longer have to eat Wagyu beef set meals every time... He will almost vomit!
However, Uesugi Tsunakatsu is still very determined. The risk of rebellion is very high. What if it fails?
"My lord, you don't have to worry about failure..." Takeda Shinji seemed to understand Uesugi Tsunakatsu's thoughts very well, "I have already met with Kusunoki's attendant of the Northern Samurai, and he has already arranged for Yonezawa to lead the way. Sendai's escape route. In case of failure, the lord can abdicate from Sendai first and then escape from Japan by sea. The lord is alone... and can easily escape!"
Being alone means having no father, no mother, no children, no daughters, and no brothers, and you can run away as fast as you want. Even if he can't run away, there's nothing to worry about. Anyway, he will only be killed if the nine tribes are destroyed.
Uesugi Tsusakatsu's face was ashen. He was not only poor, but also lonely. He was the lonely and poor feudal lord!
"My Lord," Takeda Shinji said, "What do you have to be afraid of? Even if you don't rebel, after a hundred years, Yonezawa will be expelled because there is no heir..."
Because there were no heirs, attempts to adopt and inherit were rejected by the shogunate, and many vassals were eventually abolished. If the Yonezawa Uesugi family is defeated, the Tokugawa family will definitely not miss this opportunity and will definitely withdraw from the Yonezawa clan.
Once Yonezawa withdraws from the feudal clan, 6,000 samurai families will be unemployed and begging for food.
Not to mention, this Yonezawa clan is really the most rebellious clan in Japan... Not only is it the poorest in Japan, but the feudal lord is also a loner. Once he dies, the clan will be removed.
By then, everyone will no longer be able to become a poor samurai, but will have to become a poor ronin! And if the poor ronin wanted to have a better life, wouldn't he have to cross the ocean to join the Emperor of Xingwuyuan?
Uesugi Tsusakatsu gritted his teeth, "I just don't know the thoughts of the samurai in the domain."
Takeda Shinji said: "The samurai in the domain are all worried because their lord has no children... If the lord announces that he has a terminal illness and will die within three years, what other way out can the samurai in the domain have except to follow the lord Yibo? For everyone, failure is nothing more than dying a few days early, while success can restore past glory."
I cursed myself for making this happen...but the method Takeda Shinji said really works.
Because the Tokugawa Shogunate has a bad record on this issue! In the original history, the Yonezawa Domain was not withdrawn, but at the cost of handing over half of its territory, Uesugi Tsunakatsu's nephew, the eldest son of the Taka family Kira Yoshio, was introduced to succeed the domain lord. However, the current Yonezawa clan will not know this ending.
Moreover, raising 6,000 families with 300,000 yuan is already such a hardship, what would it be like to reduce it by half? Still having trouble getting through life?
"Okay!" Uesugi Tsunakatsu gritted his teeth and said, "What should we do... Takeda Genzaemon, help me arrange a meeting with Kusunoki's attendant, and I will discuss it with him personally. The matter of raising an army!”
Tsusakatsu Uesugi's real life is Masayuki Kusugi. Kusunoki Masayuki is Yuhi Masayuki, who was a celebrity in Edo in his early years. Uesugi Tsunakatsu even learned the art of war from him!
Therefore, Uesugi Tsunakatsu must see Masayuki in person before he can feel relieved... The fact that Masayuki can represent Kobuin is also widely known in Japan. Therefore, agreeing on terms with Kusunoki Masaki is equivalent to agreeing on terms with Kobuin.
