When Yoshicho arrived in Echigo, it was the day before Jinghu was ready to go to Luo, and although Yoshicho was in a hurry, he didn't wait to find Usami Dingmi.

When he arrived in Echigo, he simply met with Jinghu, Jinghu talked about Shangluo, and Yichang was anxious and wise: "Does Jinghu want to go to Luo?"

Speaking of which, if you take up the post of Shinano's guardian, you should also go to Luo, since Jing Huqi is also going, wouldn't it be better for us to go together?

However, I didn't know that Jing Huqi was going to Shangluo, and I didn't prepare anything in a hurry. ”

Uesugi Keitora was very supportive of Yoshicho's behavior of going to Kamiraku, and he said, "In this case, let's wait for Yoshinaga in Kasuga Mountain Castle and go to Kyoto Kamiraku together." ”

Yoshicho immediately agreed, and then said: "This time I came to Echigo, my original intention was to see my father, and Jing Huqi also knew that Ueda Castle was besieged by one by one, so I came down to inform my father-in-law of Qiuyue's situation. ”

Jing Hu nodded in agreement and said, "Yi Changqi is really a good person." ”

If Yoshicho hadn't been thick-skinned, he would probably have to find a crack in the ground to get into, what kind of good person is he, compared with Takeda Harunobu, he is afraid that he is even worse than Takeda Harunobu.

That is, a person like Jinghu, in this troubled world, he is a good person, but he is calculating this good old man.

However, Yoshicho was to survive, he could only do this, and after Yoshicho said goodbye to Jinghu, he hurriedly went to meet Ogasawara Nagatoki.

He first talked about Qiuyue's situation, and then said: "Now that Zhumo County has been taken back by the child, regarding the fiefdom of the eldest brother, it is still based on Lin City as the living city, and the surrounding 5,000 stones as the territory. ”

Ogasawara was a little short of breath for a long time, and as for Nakataka who was sitting opposite Yoshinaga, his expression was a little out of control, which was enough to see the excitement in his heart.

Ogasawara laughed and said: "Hahaha, Yoshicho, you are really my virtuous son-in-law, Shinano handed it over to you, I am relieved, when Chitaka goes to the territory, you have to take care of it more." ”

Yichang paused and said: "Ha, don't worry, father, this is natural, after all, the eldest brother is a group of children, and I hope that the eldest brother will support the children more when the time comes." ”

Chimelong was not polite, and immediately bowed down and said: "Don't worry, your lord, your subordinates will definitely bow down and die!" ”

Chimelong directly admitted that he was a retainer of the righteous chief.

As for Changshi, although he still had the obsession to restore the territory, at this time the object of his obsession shifted to Chimelong, and said: "Chimelong, you have to work hard!" ”

Chang Long paused: "Father, please rest assured, the child will definitely work hard." ”

Yichang said: "For the time being, let the eldest brother go back with the child, the territory still needs him to be in charge." When the child is completely calmed down by Shinano, he can take his father back. ”

Changshi nodded, not refusing Yoshicho's request.

Yoshicho can't go back to Changshi now, so I'm afraid that Harunobu will seize this point to implement a divisive plan, and if he makes trouble behind his back for a long time, it will still be a headache.

So I can only stay in Echigo for a long time.

However, when Yoshinaga pacified Shinano, his prestige was extremely high, and at the same time, it would also make the Shinano samurai recognize him as the lord of the country, after all, his long-term behavior disappointed many of the Ogasawara family's retainers too much.

In Changshi's hands, he just has the name of guarding, and in terms of the current territory of Yichang, there is no slag left that has been crushed for a long time.

However, for the sake of domestic security, it will take a while for Shinano to return to Shinano for a long time.

Yoshicho then said that he wanted to say something to Chilong, so Chitaka followed Yoshicho to the small courtyard that Yoshicho had prepared for Yoshicho for a long time.

Yoshicho summoned Chitaka to ask him to send someone to find Usami Dingman, and if he went to find it, he was afraid that someone would reveal it to Jinghu.

Don't look at Jinghu's character as a good man, if he is shrewd, Yichang is not an opponent at all, think about it, Jinghu's father is also a ruthless person for Jing, his son Jinghu is not bad, he just has his own righteousness.

Usami didn't know why Ogasawara Chitaka came to him in person, and it was still night, but he was still invited to Ogasawara's courtyard.

But he was very surprised, he saw Yoshicho, and he realized why Chilong came to him, it seems that Yoshicho was looking for him.

However, he was a little puzzled, and Yoshicho wanted to find him but found Chilong to invite him at night, which was a bit intriguing.

Usami Dingman didn't doubt it for too long, and Yoshicho went straight to the point and said: "Usamitsu, if the leader of the palace is to let Uesugi Danzheng Shaobi send troops to Kanto, it will not be beneficial to Echigo for the time being.

Of course, I know that Uesugi Danzheng Shaobi will also do it.

But I think what do you think if the head of the palace passes on the position of Kanto leader to Uesugi Danmasa Shaobi? ”

Usami Dingmitsumi didn't know what Yoshicho was thinking, and he said: "The steward has already promised that he will hand over the position to the lord after the lord sends troops to Kanto. ”

When Yoshicho heard this, he frowned slightly and said: "It seems that the Guan Ling Dianji is still a little reluctant, Usamizu, I'll just say it bluntly, the three kingdoms of Jia Xiangjun have been aligned, can you understand the situation that our two families are facing?" ”

Usami's pupils were slightly open, and although the old fox was surprised, he didn't directly lose control of his expression, but in his heart he was overturned.

Only then did he understand why Yoshicho wanted to ask about the position of Kanto governor.

Now the Takeda family is broken, and it will not be able to start a major war in the last year or two, and now the Hojo family is the enemy of Echigo.

Now that the Triple Alliance of Koshoha, Yoshinaga wants to occupy Takeda's territory in Shinano, but he will not get reinforcements from Echigo, and it is possible to face the two coalition forces of Takeda Imagawa.

Usami was full of thoughts, Yoshinaga was planning to let them send troops to Echigo first, and unite with the people of Kanto to defeat the Hojo family and break the Triple Alliance.

Thinking about it this way, it is also a good thing for Echigo.

Usami nodded and said, "I understand, I don't know what Ogasawara Den is planning?" ”

Yoshicho said directly: "My plan is to hope that Usami will persuade you to persuade the leader of the palace to hand over the position to Uesugi Danmasa Shaobi now, and next year you and I will send troops to Kanto." ”

Usami Dingman glanced at Yoshinaga and asked, "Then how does Shinano arrange it?" ”

Yoshicho said bluntly: "If Uesugi Danmasa Shaobi becomes the Kanto governor and orders the people of the Kanto region, there must be at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, and although the Hojo family occupies Sagarami Musashi and other territories, it is still weaker than us in terms of troops."

At that time, the Hojo family is afraid that they will be stationed in Odawara Castle Cage Castle, and with Usamiki's knowledge, he also understands that if the Hojo family really sticks to Odawara Castle Cage Castle, then the result is estimated to be in vain.

However, with the support of my large iron artillery team, it may not be impossible to storm Odawara Castle.

So, at that time, I'll support Uesugi Bullet Sho Shaobi with a large iron artillery team, how about it? ”

When Usami Dingman heard this, he understood a lot in his heart, which meant that next year Echigo would send troops to Kanto to contain Hojo, and even destroy Hojo, and he Ogasa was in Shinano to attack Takeda.

However, such an exchange of interests is also possible.

Usami nodded and said, "Okay, then please wait for good news in Ogasawara Palace." ”

Yoshinaga left Echigo the next day, and he wanted to return to Shinano to prepare a donation from Joraku.

As for Usami Dingman, he secretly went to meet Uesugi Kenmasa.

Usami Dingmi's visit to Uesugi Kenmasa directly explained his intention.

Uesugi Kenmasa was a little angry and shouted, "Could it be that Jinghu hasn't sent troops so far just for my position?" ”

Usami shook his head and said, "My lord is not such a person, but Your Highness, without this position, how can Echigo order the people of the eight countries of Kanto?"

Do you want Your Highness to go into battle in person? But Your Highness, your sister-in-law has all been killed by the Hojo clan. ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Uesugi Kenmasa gritted his teeth, but if he wanted to go into battle, he still remembered the danger of the night battle in Kawagoe.

Usami Tosamitsu continued: "Your Highness, now that the three kingdoms of Koshojun have formed an alliance, and Kai has been severely damaged by the main family and Shinano this year, next year is a good time to crusade against Hojo.

Therefore, Ogasawara also felt that next year was a good time to crusade against Hojo, and if Ogasawara made a request to his lord, my lord would definitely send troops to Kanto. ”

Uesugi Kenmasa was still silent, his heart was tangled.

Usami Dingman hurriedly said, "Doesn't His Highness want to take revenge?" Your sister-in-law was beheaded by Shi Kang and hung on the city as a trophy, Your Highness, don't you want to take revenge sooner? ”

Uesugi Kenmasa patted the tatami mat angrily and said, "I understand, I'll let Jinghu come right away."

I want to take him as my adopted son, inherit my Uesugi family, take over the position of Kanto governor, and crusade against Hojo! ”

Originally, Jinghu was still checking the matter of Shangluo for the second time, and then an envoy from Uesugi Kenmasa came to look for him.

Since it was Uesugi Kenmasa who was looking for him, Jinghu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately changed into the official clothes of the minister and went to meet Uesugi Kenmasa.

When Uesugi Kenmasa saw Jinghu, he said, "Jinghu, I plan to take you as my adopted son and let you inherit the position of the Kanto Governor, how about it?" ”

Jinghu bowed down and said: "If that's the case, I'm willing!" ”

Uesugi Kenmasa said, "I hope you can send troops to the Kanto region to defeat the unsubordinate and restore order in the Kanto region." ”

Uesugi Jinghu said: "There is great righteousness in my heart, even if I am not the position of the governor of the Kanto, I only need an order from His Royal Highness, and I will send troops to the Kanto without hesitation." ”

Uesugi Kenmasa is an old politician, he thinks this is Jinghu telling a lie, saying polite words, but he doesn't know that this is Jinghu's true words.

He said: "In this way, you will worship my family's common character - Zheng, and you will be Uesugi Masato." ”

"Thank you, child, for the words." Uesugi Masato thanked Uesugi Kenmasa.

On September 28, the 21st year of the Astronomical Calendar, Uesugi Masato became Uesugi Kenmasa, and his family personality immediately soared, and he took over as the governor of Kanto.

When Yoshicho returned to Echigo, Masato planned to hold a grand event to succeed him as governor of Kanto, but of course this would be held after he returned from Kamiraku.

Of course, Yoshinaga is happy that Masato has become the governor of Kanto, so that he can attack the Hojo family next year.

Afterwards, Masanatora and Yoshinaga took a boat to Kyoto, and the place where they landed was Wakasa.

The guardian of Wakasa is also the Takeda family, but it is just a separate family, and the Wakasa Takeda family is much inferior to the Kai Takeda family now, and the guardian family was set aside by the ministers, and was almost overcome, and now the country is divided.

Of course, the ancestors of the Wakasa Takeda family were also angry, and when they were powerful, they were once subordinate to the Eastern Army in the Onin Rebellion.

It's just that it's decaying now.

Yoshinaga and Masatora didn't stay in Wakasa for too long, as there were constant wars and bandits, which was very dangerous.

However, although Yoshicho and Zhenghu are said to be light and simple, the ordinary bandits are not opponents at all.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter a large group of bandits, otherwise with the character of the political tiger, it is estimated that they would not give up easily.

On October 13, Yoshicho and Masatori arrived in Kyoto, where they changed into their family crests.

Uesugi Masato's clothes are still bamboo finch patterns, and he can't use the family crest of the Uesugi family until he succeeds to the position of Kanto governor.

And Yoshinaga used the third order of the Ogasawara family.

At this time, although peace had just been restored to Kyoto, it was still devastated, after all, many major battles were fought in the vicinity of Kyoto.

However, although Kyoto was peaceful at this time, there were ashigaru and samurai of the Miyoshi family everywhere, and of course there were also members of the Ashikaga family.

Yoshicho and Zhenghu and their group of more than 20 people, each with a sword, immediately attracted the attention of the public.

A young samurai ran up to them and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are not allowed to wear weapons in Kyoto. ”

The accompanying Iwashita Dragon said: "Hey, you have to see clearly, we are not ordinary people!" ”

The young samurai looked at it and saw people from the Ogasawara family on one side and the Uesugi family on the other.

His tone suddenly froze, and his face turned red.

But at this moment, a samurai rushed by, shouting, "Get out of the way!" His Royal Highness has come down! ”

Yoshicho and the others looked back, and there was a horse team coming slowly not far away, and Yoshinaga and they were all courtiers of the shogunate, so they naturally had to step aside and sit cross-legged on the ground to pay tribute to the passing shogun Ashikaga Yoshito.

Ashikaga Yoshito was renamed Ashikaga Yoshiki in 1554.

Ashikaga Yoshito glanced at the side of the road, and immediately saw Yoshicho and Masanatora on the side of the road, because Yoshicho and Masanatora were wearing very luxurious clothes for Kamiraku.

Yichang was dressed in blue silk, and the patterns on his body were inlaid with gold threads and precious stones, while Zhenghu was dressed in a dark red princess costume, and the patterns were also sewn with gold thread.

Ashikaga Yoshito rode a horse and stopped in front of Yoshicho and Masato and said, "Who are you from the Ogasawara family and the Uesugi family?" ”

The official position of the righteous chief is temporarily two levels higher than that of Zhenghu, he is under the fifth position, and Zhenghu is from the fifth position.

So Yoshicho replied first: "His Royal Highness the Kai Gongfang, your subordinates are Shinano's guardians, and Ogasawara Yoshinaga, the great chef." ”

Zhenghu on the side then said: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Qifang, his subordinates are the guardians of Echigo, and he is playing the role of Shaobi Uesugi Zhenghu." ”

Ashikaga Yoshito looked at the young Yoshinaga, and the younger and more handsome Masato, who was twenty-two years old, three years younger than Yoshinaga.

He smiled: "It turned out to be the two of you, but I heard that you all want to become the pillars of the martial arts, which really makes me very happy." ”
