Chapter 265: Return to Echigo

"Is it too late to make overtures?" Honda Masanobu pretended to be sad, "The so-called falling well, knowing that after the Mogami family sent someone to Kamiraku to appeal, other daimyo around Aizu were also ready to move, Echigo Horiharu Hideji, Kakunodate Castle's Tozawa Masamori and Ota Hara Masaaki, who had returned to Shimono not long ago, rushed to send a heavy minister to Kamiraku to report the changes in Aizu to the Right House, and the three of them became tigers, in this case, even if the Right House wants to put the Uesugi family on the horse, they have to take into account the authority they have just established, right?" Just imagine, if he turns a deaf ear to the complaints of these families, what should the world's daimyo think of him? How could those ambiguous and unknown daimyo be willing to listen to him, therefore, even if Huangmen you personally surrender to Kamiraku, you will definitely pay a great price, referring to Maeda Ukita's situation, the last Zhixing of the Uesugi family is likely to be compressed to 600,000 stone in the four counties of Aizu, this is still a situation of absolute obedience, if the Mogami family and the Hori family who occupy Echigo's hometown of Uesugi fan the flames and deliberately provoke, it may have to be discounted again."

Hearing this, Naoe was silent, and he realized two meanings from Honda Masashi's words, first, now that the Uesugi family is already difficult to ride a tiger, if it is Xiang Xiu's cheating, the final result may be to lose more than half of his strength; Second, even if you give up fifty percent of your knowledge and behavior, those daimyo who have personal grudges with the Uesugi family will not stop there, until the Uesugi family becomes a second-rate daimyo like the Uki family, in short, in this situation, in addition to fighting to the death, it can only be a desperate life, humiliated, and according to Uesugi Keikatsu's character, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen (.megCm

However, Naoe Kanetsu did not fall into the trap of Honsho Masanobu, and he seemed to realize that Honda Masanobu did not really come to rescue the Uesugi family, but forced the Uesugi family into a dead end against Hide, what was his purpose in doing this?

"What Sado Mamoru said is somewhat reasonable," Naoe continued to stroke his beard, bowed his head slightly, and said: "But the matter has come to this point (this chapter is uploaded by netizens What else can be done besides surrender?) Just now you also said that if you surrender, you can still be on the verge of some Zhixing, but if the family resists, I'm afraid that in the end it will only face the same change as the Hojo clan, I think Sado Mamoru also knows that the subordinates of the Nagamune and Shimazu families are trying to dominate Shikoku, and the other is about to unify Kyushu, and as a result, in the suppression of Taikoku, one has been reduced from nearly 900,000 Zhixing in most of Shikoku to 200,000 in Tosa One Country, and the other is reduced from nearly 2 million Zhixing in Kyushu Seven Countries to 670,000 in the Three Kingdoms of Southern Kyushu; After Taiko unified the world, the Gamo family was also reduced from 920,000 to 230,000, so if you are willing to surrender, as long as you can ensure three to forty percent of your knowledge and deeds, this is much better than changing the easy seppuku, what do you think? ”

"Heh, it's just that Yamashiro Shou thinks so, is His Royal Highness Huangmen also willing to live like this? Or is it true that the bravery and glory of Kenshin have been abandoned in Kasuga Mountain Castle? Honda Masanobu sneered, "It is said that Echigo is the root of the Uesugi family, it seems that this is true, and the Uesugi family is really weak without Echigo, Ai, doesn't the Yellow Gate want to return to Echigo?" ”

"Return to Echigo?!" Honda Masanobu's words had already made Uesugi Keikatsu angry, but the sentence "return to Echigo" made him quiet: "Sado Mamoru is really mean, even Kenshin Gong has moved out, but do you think that the family can return to Echigo with a desperate fight, are you whimsical, or are you all fools when the family is stupid?" ”

"The foreign minister is not whimsical, and His Royal Highness Huangmen is by no means a fool, as long as one condition is met, it is very possible to return to Echigo," Honda Masanobu said with a sarcastic and sarcastic expression

"A condition? What can make the family not only not suffer changes, but return to Echigo? Uesugi Keikatsu's eyes lit up, and Naoe was silent, his brows furrowed, as if he already knew what Honda Masanobu was referring to

"His Royal Highness Huangmen is one of the five elders, and he should have the right to speak in, but due to the long distance between Aizu and the absence of His Royal Highness in Osaka, the rights and interests of the Uesugi family are not defended; Locally, although the Uesugi family has 1.14 million Zhiyuki in the Tohoku, they have just arrived, their foundation is not stable, and they are surrounded by careerists like Date Mogami, who have long coveted Aizu, and without the support of the traditional powerful forces, can you deter them and strengthen their position in the Tohoku? Just imagine, if someone in convinces the elder and the government to form an alliance with a powerful force in the northeast, in this case, even if there is friction with the right province, it will definitely not hurt the muscles and bones, on the contrary, if the crusading army of the right province is defeated and the right government is forced to compromise, it will be a reversal of attack and defense, and the return to Echigo is not just around the corner? ”

Honda Masa's words were unbelievable, which really made Uesugi Keikatsu eager to try, but at this moment, Naoe Kanesu said coldly: "The condition you said shouldn't be to reach an alliance with the inner government, right?" ”

"You're only half right," Honda corrected, "to be precise, to form an alliance with my lord and Aki Nayan"

"What's the matter, An Yidian is willing to take this risk?!" Mori Terumen's participation shook Naoe Kane's heart a lot: "This is the inner house and the middle house, I really can't figure out why they want to help the family fight against the right house, as far as I know, the Tokugawa family and the right house are not much contradictory, and His Royal Highness Xiuyuan of the Mori family married the sister of the right house, and the two families are in-laws, there is this relationship, and it is really unreasonable to turn against each other, right?" ”

"Mamoru Yamashiro didn't understand the interests of the three families?" Honda Masanobu asked rhetorically

"Please also ask Sado to dial one or two" in Naoe Kanesu's view, if there is no vital interest, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Mori Terumoto will not dare to form an alliance with the Uesugi family against Hidebo, if Honda Masanobu can't say a convincing reason, then there is only one possibility: this is Hidebo's trap, I want to take the opportunity to coax the Uesugi family to send troops, and then the two families will defect, and after the fact, the three families will jointly divide the interests of the Uesugi family, this trick Tokugawa Ieyasu used when Komaki was in his hands for a long time, but Oda Nobuo finally changed his hexagram, As a result, the Tokugawa family brought it up again at this moment, and it can't help but make people wary

Seeing that Naoe was still suspicious, Honda Masanobu had no choice but to say the excuse he had prepared in advance: "Yamashiro is guarding in the northeast, haven't you noticed that in the past few years, the surrounding area of this family has been surrounded by the forces of the pro-right mansion?" If the Uesugi family is pulled out, then the entire Tohoku will have no worries, and the Tokugawa family will be left with the big tiger of the Tokugawa family in the eastern country. As for the Maori family, it's easier to explain, what Youfu wants to support is His Royal Highness Xiuyuan, in this way, where will the son-in-law of the Anyi Palace go, won't the Maori family be usurped by the split family, speaking of which, do you understand?
