Hokuriku affairs have been dealt with between a tie and a smile.

Honda Tadakatsu went to Echichu, and his main task was to unite the remnants of the anti-Uesugi Jimbo clan, relying on the complex terrain of the southern mountains, holding the city, and waiting for an opportunity to expand the sphere of influence. At present, there are 350,000 stone territory in the territory, which can cover about 100,000 stone.

Shima Kiyoko came to Noto and was responsible for recruiting the old Hatakeyama party in the coastal area, and took advantage of the supply advantage of the waterway to try to carry out some activities. So he got some money and talent for shipbuilding. can climb 200,000 stones, and it is estimated that he can barely grasp 50,000 or 60,000 stones in his hands.

Their authority is far from being able to affect the entire territory, but the actual power of the Uesugi family in the Hokuriku area is actually at this level, and most of the land is in chaos, and neither side can effectively control it.

Rashly promoting the courtiers to this level is somewhat of a bit of a gratitude. Honda Tadakatsu's reputation is not bad, and Shima Kiyoshi will inevitably be criticized.

However, one sentence can block everyone's words, that is, those who are willing to replace them can come to me and sign up.

There's not much more to say.

How could ordinary people have the courage to lead three to five thousand people to the front line to follow Uesugi Kenshin as neighbors? Those who really have this courage and talent often get ahead, and they are not jealous.

There are really not many people who can carry this heavy burden.

Honda Tadakatsu still insisted on his position as a retainer of the Tokugawa family, and Shima Kiyoko also maintained his position as a retainer of Oda. However, due to geographical conditions, it is obviously impossible to achieve effective communication with the nominal owner, and it is almost inevitable that the autonomy will become higher and higher.

With one hand controlling the supply lines of logistical materials and the other hand holding the Kyoto Imperial Court's official channel, he could fully exert a hidden influence on Hokuriku.

Over time, the situation is bound to change subtly.

Kaga was still handed over to the disciples of the Ichijo sect, and although they had now lost their backbone and were completely unorganized rabble, Hirate Hatsuhide pretended not to know all this.

At most, it is to remind Honganji Xianru to send a competent official to take charge of the affairs as soon as possible.

As for whether Shishan can find suitable talents, it is inconvenient for this outsider to ask.

In fact, although the monks of Honganji Temple have a good life, after all, the upper limit of "career prospects" is relatively limited, and they are much inferior to the samurai, and it is difficult to absorb any high-level talents from the outside world.

Qili Lai Zhou is already a card that is as obvious as the Venerable Master, and it is still a mess in Beilu, which makes the people's grievances boil and deviate from morality.

Ohtani Heima, who came to prominence some time ago, is worth mentioning. However, he is not yet twenty years old, and his qualifications are too shallow, so I am afraid that the children of the family will be dissatisfied.

In short, this thing needs to be like a good headache.

As for Echizen, which is positioned as a military turnover base to support Noto and Vietnam, it has also been cleverly arranged.

As a reward, the territory was given to Shigeharu Takenaka, Kazuki Takigawa Kazuki, Araki Murashige, Mikumo Narito, Bai Xiang Jia, Kato Kotai and many other heroes.

However, Takenaka and Takigawa were semi-forcibly dragged to to accompany them over tea and chat; Araki is in Settsu and Mikumo is in Koga, both of which are beyond the reach of the whip and cannot be taken into account; Worship the village, Kato, as a direct retainer, must accept the plan of pursuing the escrow.

In this way, Kawada's chief family, who theoretically only has 15,000 stone Zhixing, is actually equivalent to a country's acting official, who can fully implement his will and not have the momentum of a big tail in the short term.

This is similar to the pattern of Hirate Hideyoshi in Yamato, Iwanari Tomome in Hanoi, and Nakamura Kazuji in Minamikii.

It can even be said that the status of Yoshimitsu Hirate in Minami Omi is also very similar - but it is very awkward to say this, and there is obviously no comparison between the retainers and the second generation.

If something happens in the future and the central power continues to decay, then sooner or later the acting officials will definitely occupy the magpie's nest and do their own thing, but the system can never be perfect, and it will be a crisis of destroying the country and the clan at that point, and I don't have the heart to consider these levels.

After a long period of war, Echizen was a country that could be said to be the banner of the king of change at the head of the castle, and almost all the people and servants worth mentioning in the previous battles, and even the forces of temples and shrines, had been killed or were dying of death, and the civil order urgently needed to be rebuilt, and it was a great opportunity to carry out "land inspection".

Visual inspection is expected to achieve a thorough land inspection that is more transparent and clean than that of Izumi and Kitaki, and is on par with Awaji.

For this reason, Ina Tadaji, Nagashu Masake, Hirate Ji Yin, Masuda Nagamori and their gang of directors have long been gearing up and full of fighting spirit, while Konishi Yukichi is cheeky and disregarding the outside world's sight, repeatedly recommending his new friend Ishida Sakichi, and even going so far as to say "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I'm saying that this person's planning and calculation is above all of you" This kind of serious offense is true.

He did this mainly to make political achievements and support his henchmen, but in doing this, it can indeed be said that he is really a friend.

By the way, Yumitsu Numata, an old friend who has been tossing around by chance over the years, finally mixed up again, and the name of "Lake Biwa Executive" was confirmed by Hirate Tsunohide, and he was included in the ranks of the retainers of the Naozan.

Looking back on the past, I don't know if I will sigh with emotion.

Since Honda Tadakatsu and Shima Kiyoko were both courtiers—technically speaking, they weren't even courtiers—Hokuriku's plan of handling would inevitably have to be discussed with Tokugawa and Oda.

In early May, Hirate arranged a meeting in Minami-Omi.

It would have been a slightly awkward contact.

However, the words thrown out by Hitehide made Tokugawa and Oda grateful and overjoyed—at least on the surface, they were overjoyed and overjoyed, and they had no time to think about any "poaching" issues.

"I am ready to expel the Takeda clan from Mino, Mikawa, and Enjiang before the end of the year and restore the territorial integrity of the two."

How can you be embarrassed to bargain when this statement comes out?

At present, Oda Nobutada occupies the easternmost two and a half counties of Mino, and the total territory of 780,000 koku is not too much, but the nearest place is only two days away from Gifu Castle, which is undoubtedly very detrimental to the stability of the military and civilian sentiment.

And Tokugawa Ieyasu is more bleak, with a total of seven prefectures with more than 200,000 koku falling! It must be known that the sum of the two countries of the three rivers and the distant rivers is only 500,000 koku, and the newly cut Owari Bankoku is also 700,000 koku, which is equivalent to one-third lost.

The new and old grudges between the two of them for so many years can be said to be higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea, why do they have to pinch their noses and cooperate sincerely as friends, it is nothing more than that Takeda is too powerful!

Shingen didn't mention it, and he came to power with Katsuri, and it didn't seem to be good at domestic and foreign affairs, and he was not inferior to his father at all when he fought, so that the samurai of Omi Enzo couldn't sleep day and night.

Desperately stammering with the Prime Minister Lieutenant General, looking forward to today.

Of course, from the envoys of the two families, he received countless praises and sycophants who did not want money. However, I also got some useful information.

Oda Nobutada managed to get in touch with Shinano's Kiso Yoshimasa, and there was also a vague communication with Akiyama Nobuyo.

Tokugawa Ieyasu is very powerful, and he hooked up with Takeda Shigetomi Anayama Nobuyoshi to a very deep extent, and has reached a preliminary tacit relationship.

It seems that the people of Jiaxin are not all fearless of death, and there are always a few who are worried about the future.

Optimistically, as long as it inflicts enough blows on the Takeda family in the front, there will be a chance to follow the inner line, peel off the cocoon, and counter-adjust and win.

The only concern may be funding. Although the draw has made progress in Hokuriku, its control is not strong enough for the time being, and it cannot be cashed out in the short term through the leasing and sale of regional monopoly rights.

However, in this era, everyone generally feels that as long as you hold the knife tightly in your hand, the problem of money is still a small problem after all.

If it becomes a big problem, it only means that the knife is not held tightly enough.

To some extent, this is not wrong.
