Yasumiyasu said very seriously: "The lord, the ministers and the other three have just arrived, and they don't understand the situation, so it's really difficult to give their own opinions. ”

Hearing this, Yichang nodded and said, "I was negligent, so okay, I'll explain it to you."

The Honke family and the Takeda family are still fighting for dominance of Minami Shinano, but the Takeda family just suffered a crushing defeat last year, although the Takeda family captured tens of thousands of people, but the Takeda family's elite troops suffered little losses.

However, this year, the Takeda family's aid to Hojo failed, and there were many losses, and in the fall, the Honke family would attack Suwa with Uesugi reinforcements, and the Takeda family had to do their best to defend it.

But in general, the power of the Takeda family will be driven out of Shinano by the main family in two years at most, of course, and that will be without the help of the Imagawa family.

Today, most of the Imagawa family's energy is on the Mikawa side, which borders Owari and Mino, and is separated by a mountain from my Shinano.

Mino Michizo Saito, known as the pit viper, was the father-in-law of Oda Nobunaga of Owari, who had fought with Imagawa for control of Mikawa a few years ago and had now lost.

The Imagawa family has now invaded Owari due to the division of forces within Oda. Yamaguchi Samasuke Kyotsugu and Yamaguchi Kuro Jiro of Narumi Castle also took refuge in Imagawa Yoshimoto after the death of Nobunaga's uncle Oda Bigo, and led the Imagawa army into Narumi Castle, and Chita County was under the command of the Imagawa clan.

Yamaguchi Kyotsugu built a temple in Aichi Prefecture, and Imagawa Motonobu Kakabe, Katsuyama Nagaga, Asai Koshiro, Iio Toyomae Mamoru and Miura Yoshinori were in charge of garrisoning.

Kyotsugu handed over Narumi Castle to his son Yamaguchi Kuro Jiro, and he stayed in Nakamura Township near Kasadaji.

This is the family's understanding of the situation in the west and south. What do you think? ”

Nagahara Jingzong is a pure military general, he doesn't know much about these forces or anything, he put his hands on his chest, lowered his head slightly, frowned, and seemed to be thinking hard.

As for Yasutoshi Mamiya and Yasuei Shimizu, after they glanced at each other, they thought silently.

They didn't think about it for long, and Yasuei Shimizu took the lead and said: "My lord, Takeda and Imagawa are in-laws, and my family is in a hurry to force Takeda, and I will definitely start a war with Imagawa, so my subordinates think that they will go south and directly defeat Takeda and Imagawa!" ”

Yoshicho nodded, but he expressed one of his concerns: "You also know that Uesugi Temple doesn't like unjust wars, and the family attacked Takeda because Takeda invaded my Shinano, and the righteousness lies with me.

Therefore, after the family repelled Takeda, once Takeda Harunobu judged the situation and retreated behind the scenes, then the family would not be able to attack Takeda.

The alliance between the main family and Echigo cannot be broken for the time being, so there is a great deal of uncertainty in the plan to go south. ”

When Yasumiyasu heard this, he was a little dissatisfied and said, "Could it be that the lord has always looked at the face of the Uesugi Palace like this?" ”

Yoshicho smiled and said, "Uesugi Hall is a very pure good person, he just wants to be a pillar of the samurai family.

It's a pity that he didn't understand that the best way to eliminate the war was to unify the world, redivide the sixty-six countries, and stabilize them with a system.

What about Uesugi Temple's restoration of the rule of His Royal Highness? Without a fundamental solution, the war will not stop. ”

When Qing Shui Yasuying and the others heard this, their faces flushed and said, "Does the lord want to fight for the world?" ”

Yoshicho looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "Of course, unifying the world, setting a stable system, and stabilizing the world is my ideal." ”

Shimizu Kangying said suddenly: "I didn't expect that the lord has the world in his heart, and his subordinates are really admired, and the eyes of the inferior people are only in Kanto, which is really ashamed." ”

Yoshicho waved his hand and said, "It's just wishful thinking on my part, and now, Shinano's most important thing is to recapture Minami Shinano from Takeda." ”

"Oh! The ministers must do their best to serve the Lord and recapture Minami Shinano. ”

Yoshicho's conversation brought the relationship between the monarch and the minister closer.

In fact, what Yoshicho didn't say was that he still had a righteous name, and he could completely attack Kai with the matter of Harunobu expelling Shinto.

However, Yoshicho didn't plan to provoke Imagawa, and now Imagawa Yoshimoto's strong group, he decided to start with Hida and Mino first.

After taking Mino, he will have a passage to Kamiroku, and of course, he will also cut off a path for Oda Nobunaga.

Although everyone will not know that Saito Yoshiryu will kill Saito Michizo, at least in the eyes of everyone, Saito Michizo is the backing of Oda Nobunaga.

So if Yoshicho attacks Mino, Imagawa Yoshimoto will definitely raise his hands in favor, of course, with Taiyuan Xuesai's ability, he must see the importance of Mino, and he will definitely make it bad.

Yoshinaga only thought about it cursoryly, and then he would discuss it with Sanada Yutaka.

When Yoshinaga returned to Shinano, it was almost April, and the affairs at home had already been arranged by Sanada Yukitaka, and as soon as Yoshinaga returned, Sanada Yukitaka began to report on what had happened in the family in the last month.

For the arrangements of Yasuei Shimizu, Yasutoshi Mamiya, and Keizumun Kashihara, their territories were all arranged in the area of Kita-Shinano.

The temple that participated in the rebellion before has been banned by Yoshicho and built the temple into a fortress, and some civilians have been arrested by Yoshicho for being a companion because of their opposition, and now no one dares to resist.

All the monks who have always preached religious doctrine were killed one by one, of course, they were not killed by the righteous chief, but were assassinated by the ninjas under him.

After that, Yoshinaga asked a group of ninjas to pretend to be monks, and then he taught some Buddhist teachings, and then let those fake monks spread them to the people in an easy-to-understand form.

For example, what is the daily deed to enter the Western Elysium, or the karma theory of good retribution and evil retribution, and so on.

In short, Yoshicho arranged these ideological and public opinion matters quickly, after all, he came from the information age and knew the importance and operation of this.

Yoshicho is secretly robbing believers in Kitashinano and Ichikozong.

Sanada Yutaka finished talking to Yoshicho about the family matter, and then said: "My lord, now the family owes more than 30,000 kan to the Tennoji House in total, and if there is still a war in the past two years, these debts will be thousands more kan." ”

Yoshicho nodded and said, "These debts are nothing, this time I participated in the Kwantung Coalition Army's crusade against the Hojo family, and I got more than 40,000 pieces of goods, and I used them to pay off the debts and there is still a surplus."

And this time I got three naval generals from the Hojo family, and the Echigo side was willing to lend us the port, and they would also transfer ships.

This time the family also has its own water army, but in the near future, we still have to follow the water army of Echigo. ”

Sanada Yutaka was very excited, he grinned and said: "I didn't expect the lord to go to Kanto, there is such a harvest, with the lord of this batch of money, the family is not in debt." ”

Yoshicho also felt that he had made it worthwhile, and this trip to the war not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money.

Two days after Yoshinaga returned to Shinano, Uesugi Masatora's envoy arrived in Gyeonggi, and Gyeonggi was very unsafe at this time, and the contradiction between the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshito and the Miyoshi retainer Matsunaga Shu was very sharp and almost on the surface.

At this time, the good news sent by Jeongho exacerbated the changes in Gyeonggi.

Because of the arrangement of the Hori-Etsu Princess, the good news needs to be sent to Ashikaga Yoshito.

After reading the good news, Mibuchi Fujiei was so happy that he almost ignored the etiquette of the minister.

However, after Ashikaga Yoshito saw the good news, he also laughed heartily and said: "Hahaha, I didn't expect this Uesugi leader to think of the imperial court and the shogunate."

Fujiei, what do you say to do? It's a pity that I'm a general. ”

In charge of a country, Ashikaga Yoshito can't do this now, even Yamashiro Province is now in the hands of Matsunaga Hide.

Mibuchi Fujieijin said: "Your Highness, the matter of the Horigo Princess's side must be implemented as soon as possible, and the Miyoshi family must not be allowed to know, otherwise they will definitely be unfavorable to us." ”

Ashikaga Yoshito thought about it and felt that it was also, after all, the Horikoshi Gongfang was still a member of the Ashikaga family, and when the time came, the Horikoshi Gongfang would have the spare strength to help the shogunate.

For example, secretly support some money and food, etc.,You can also shout in the air when necessary.,And,The Kanto governor Uesugi Masatoro is heart-to-heart for the shogunate.。

However, Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was sitting in the corridor, said, "I'm very sorry, but I have a word I want to say to Your Highness." ”

Ashikaga Yoshito looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka, he valued Hosokawa Fujitaka's talent, and at the same time he was courting Mibuchi Fujiei, so usually when Mibuchi Fujiei met him privately, Hosokawa Fujitaka would also be present.

Ashikaga Yoshito smiled, "Oh? What are your different opinions? ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka said bluntly: "This matter should be widely publicized, after all, the Uesugi Governor, who is in charge of the Eight Kingdoms of the Kanto region, has expressed his allegiance to the shogunate, so as to deter the Miyoshi family."

Compared to the Uesugi Chief, the Miyoshi family is weaker, and His Royal Highness has the Rokkaku family, the Uesugi Chief, and his ally Shinano Ogasawara family.

In this way, there are more than ten realms, close to five million stones, which is much more powerful than the three good families.

If such a good family is not good for His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness only needs an edict to let Uesugi Guan lead King Luoqin! ”

Mibuchi Fujiei smiled and said, "Uesugi Guan Lingdian does have a strong strength, but if he wants to gather troops to Shangluo, the route is a big problem. ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka hurriedly said: "The ally of the Uesugi Pipe Hall is Shinano Ogasawara Daizen Palace, Shinano goes straight to Mino, and can make Mino Province give way to His Royal Highness Uesugi, if Mino blocks it, it can be destroyed directly."

In this way, as long as Mino is taken, His Royal Highness Uesugi will be able to enter Minami-Omi, join the Rokkaku family, and go straight to Gyeonggi! ”

Ashikaga Yoshito patted the case and said: "Good! This method is very good, if there is a political tiger to help, will the shogunate still be afraid of that subordinate's minister? ”

Mibuchi Fujiei thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was very interesting.

Yoshicho wanted to know the news, and he probably woke up laughing when he fell asleep, and he was trying to find an excuse to do Mino, and the shogunate sent the excuse to him Yoshicho when he did so.

When the time comes, Yoshicho only needs to blow the wind with the political tiger and lead Mino to protect it.

This can be operated, after all, the shogunate always has to give some sweetness, and Zhenghu only wants to be righteous in his heart.

As for Yoshinaga, he helped Masanaga take Hojo in Kanto, not an inch of territory, and now Mino is close to him Shinano, and Mino is the place where Kamiraku must pass, and his Yoshicho is also committed to the shogunate, so let him Yoshicho lead Mino to better serve the shogunate.

After all, whether it is on the surface or in action, on the shogunate's side, or on the political tiger's side, Yoshicho is a loyal minister of the shogunate and a pillar of the samurai family.

On the shogunate's side, Ashikaga Yoshito directly convened an evaluation meeting, and Matsunaga Shu already had the responsibility of monitoring the shogunate, so he would also participate in this meeting.

Normally, Ashikaga Yoshito was very resistant to Matsunaga Hide, but this time, Ashikaga Yoshito was eager for Matsunaga Hide to come to the meeting.

In the Shogunate Daihiroma, Ashikaga Yoshito sat on the main seat, and the Shogunate served the public with Mibuchi Fujiei, Wada Yumasa, Nishiki Yoshimasa, Ikeda Katsumasa, Isshiki Yoshiyuki, Kyogoku Nobuya, Kira Nobuya, Awaya Mitsuruka, Ogasawara Nobuta, Yanagisawa Motomasa, etc.

At the same time, there are three families that have served the Ashikaga family for generations: the Momoi clan, the Konshi clan, and the Hikobe clan.

As for Matsunaga Hide, he can only sit at the end.

When Matsunaga Show entered, Ashikaga Yoshito waved his hand to let Mibuchi Fujiei speak.

Mibuchi Fujiei took out the jie report in his arms: "Everyone, this is the good news of the Kanto Governor Uesugi Masato.

Sagami Province guards the Hojo clan Yasu, who has been defeated by the Masato Tiger Gong, and has recently gone to Echigo Fufa, and the Hojo family has surrendered and admitted his mistake!

This time, Masahu Gong not only sent good news, but also asked the shogunate and the imperial court to send a highness to Izu to inherit the heir of the Horikoshi Gongkata family! ”

As soon as this remark came out, the public in the hall was excited, which was great news for the shogunate, and everyone was talking about Uesugi Masato.

Only Matsunaga Xiu, his face was blue and his expression was gloomy, and he said that the public of the shogunate today was so happy to let him participate in the evaluation today, it turned out that he and the Miyoshi family were going to beat him and the Miyoshi family.

Kanto Governor Uesugi Masatora has a bad brain? Actually took out an Izu and handed it to the shogunate, isn't it good to be the overlord of the land in Kanto by yourself? Do you have to come to this shogunate, who can't even protect himself, and ask a big man to go to Kanto to take care of himself?

Matsunaga Shu frantically complained about Uesugi Masato's strange operation.

At this time, the public immediately mentioned Ashikaga Yoshito's two younger brothers.

According to the shogunate's regulations, the children of the previous generation of shoguns who did not become shoguns were to become monks.

Ashikaga Yoshito had two younger brothers, one was Ashikaga Shusong, who entered Buddhism from an early age and became the head of Rokuenji (Kinkaku-ji).

After Ashikaga Yoshito was killed, he was lured by Hirata and Izumi Mamoru under the orders of Matsunaga and others, and was killed on the way to Kyoto with Kosaki.

In addition, the surname killed Hirata shortly after Zhou Song was killed.

Ashikaga Yoshito's other younger brother is Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who entered Buddhism when he was young, and his Dharma name is Juekei.

After Ashikaga Yoshiteru was killed by a traitor, he was supported by Hosokawa Fujitaka and others as a general and returned to the world, changed his name to Aki, and later changed his name to Akira.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was once exiled to the daimyo of Rokkaku Shijo, Takeda Nobutoyo, and Asakura Yoshikei in an attempt to revive the Muromachi shogunate, but they were unsuccessful, and he was called the "poor prince".

A group of members of the public completely ignored Matsunaga Xiu's feelings, and very enthusiastically discussed which His Royal Highness was suitable to inherit the Horikoshi Princess.
