Hideho intervened for only four days, and the rebellion was suppressed, this scene amazed the daimyo including the five elders and the five commissioners, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not expect that Hideho would bypass the five elders and send troops directly, and the speed was staggering, knowing that the Ukita family was already in danger, so he secretly ordered the spies who were ambushed by his side to be hanged at night, so as not to make the secret between them public (full text update fastest // Free e-book download // April 11, as the Ukita Hideya and Akashi Kuzo reached a reconciliation, Toyama Castle surrendered in Kaejo, this sixteen-day rebellion ended in the victory of the Hideya, a total of more than 40 retainers of the anti-Nagafune faction were killed, nearly 50 retainers chose to leave his house or become ronin, these people's total Zhixing reached 140,000 koku, accounting for 40% of all the retainers' total Zhixing After that, due to the mediation of Hideho and the five elders, some of the anti-Nagafune faction returned to the Ukika family, but due to the loss of power of the Nakamura Criminal Department and the severance of the Nagafune clan, the Nagasfune faction completely disappeared, They turned to support Akashi Junto, who had always remained neutral, making Akashi the ruler of the house, and the anti-Nagafune faction was strong and the leaders were all subdued, and in desperation, they gave up the struggle for power and temporarily compromised with the neutral faction, until June 20, when Hanabo was exiled to Hitachi, and the Ukita riot came to an end

This riot, which lasted for three months and involved the interests of various families, finally caused the Ukita Hideya to abandon their martial arts, lose four to fifty percent of their mobilization power, and in the blink of an eye, they became second-rate daimyo with no name; And Ishida Mitsunari and Tokugawa Ieyasu, as the masterminds behind the two factions of the dispute, were greatly disappointed with this result, but compared to Ishida Mitsunari who eliminated the Uki family, Tokugawa Ieyasu was optimistic about the decline of the Uki family: "The family does not need a powerful Ukita, and in this regard, it has been achieved, as for whether he is a puppet of the family, it seems that it is not so important now, but it is the performance of the right house in dealing with the riots, which makes the old man very worried"

"This is the second time that the Taiko funeral has occurred in the aftermath of the Taiko's rebellion in Osaka, which has made him out of the limelight, this time he actually ordered Shikoku and Awaji Daimyo to send troops in the name of the future, which is enough to see that his position has gradually stabilized, fortunately, the ruin of the Uki family has caused him to lose an important ally, but this is not a reason for the family to take it lightly, on the contrary, it is precisely because he is invincible in that the plan to unite the Uesugi family is imminent, Masanobu, this time you and Masasumi go to Aizu ( Smeg must bring the Uesugi family over, otherwise... There is no way to talk about seizing the world! ”

"Your Majesty must live up to your mission!" Honda Masanobu nodded heavily, and set off for Aizu Wakamatsu Castle on the same day, because of the daimyo of Hideho on all sides, just in case, Honda father and son had to pass through Komori Castle in the northwest, and then disguised themselves in Sanada Domain and walked a mountain road into Echigo of Hori Hideji, and after a short rest, they entered the Aizu territory from Tsugawa Exit, and finally arrived at Wakamatsu Castle, the residence of the Uesugi family, on July 8

However, it is unfortunate that because it was a secret visit, on the day of arrival, Uesugi Keikatsu and Naoe Kanesuke were not in the castle but went to Jinjihara on the banks of the Agagawa River, where a new castle was being built to replace Wakamatsu Castle, and the general request of the new castle was Naoe Kanesuke's younger brother Daikoshi Shiri, which is enough to see the status and influence of Naoeyamajo in the Uesugi family

It is said that the reason for the construction of a new castle is that Wakamatsu Castle is located on the southeastern edge of the Aizu Basin, which is densely populated and difficult to expand, and the Divine Finger was originally located in the center of the basin and was next to the Agagawa River to provide water supply, which was convenient for transportation and more conducive to the management of the territory

In fact, on the eve of coming to Aizu, Honda Masanobu got a news that because Naoe Kanetsu turned a deaf ear to Mogami Yoshimitsu's ban and still secretly built the Korean and Japanese military highways, which led to further deterioration of the relationship between the two families, the result was that Mogami Yoshimitsu sent troops to destroy nearly half of the military roads that had been built, forcibly dismissed the road construction workers, and arrested several Uesugi retainers who took the lead, and Naoe Kanesuke was not to be outdone, and the two sides of the border were stationed, and the war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, but at that time, the focus of the whole of Japan was focused on the Ukita riot, therefore, In addition to the five elders and the five commissioners, only a few daimyo in the northeast knew about this conflict on May 8, and after nearly half a month of confrontation between the two armies, Tokugawa Ieyasu took the lead in ordering Tokugawa Hidetada to send people from Edo to Aizu to mediate, and because of the prestige of the Tokugawa family, Mogami Yoshimitsu had to express a compromise and allow the Uesugi family to continue to build the Korean and military roads, but the roadblocks along the military roads must be controlled by the Mogami family, and the Uesugi family must pay a certain amount of fees and rice every year

Uesugi Keikatsu was very annoyed by this request, and felt that if he paid a fee to Mogami and accepted his supervision, it would be better to take other official routes, so why should he find another way by himself? As a result, Uesugi Keikatsu rejected Mogami Yoshimitsu's request and tried to forcibly lay a military road, while Tokugawa Ieyasu recalled the envoy at this time and allowed the conflict between the two families to escalate

Obviously, this is a poisonous ploy by the Tokugawa family, deliberately provoking the relationship between the two families, and then sending Honda father and son to persuade them, considering that Yoshimitsu Mogami is Hideho's father-in-law, Uesugi Keikatsu will definitely be on his side, and, from the recent actions of the Uesugi family, it can be seen that they have prepared for war, and now they are short of the last straw to make this Echigo dragon make waves again

Hearing that Honda and his son had traveled thousands of miles to Aizu, Uesugi Keikatsu and Naoe Kanesuke, who were in Kamichihara, were very surprised, and after explaining to the great country Shiri, the two hurried back to Wakamatsu Castle in July It was a hot summer, and although the ice and snow had already melted in Aizu Castle in the northeast, the climate was still mild, and the cherry blossom trees planted during the Gamo clan had withered at this time

"Father, do you think the Uesugi family will be willing to form an alliance with the main family?" Honda Masamune is still young, but he understands that unless he can win over Uesugi or Mori, one of the five elders, he will not be able to talk about fighting Hideho, so he cares very much about the success or failure of this operation

Different from Masamune's anxious mood, Honda Masanobu was as calm as ever: "Masamune, do you think that this operation is a request from the Uesugi family?" ”

"Although I don't want to admit it, judging from the current situation, it does mean this, if Aizuden does not agree, there will be no way to talk about the plan to rebel against the right government" Honda Masajun sighed helplessly

"Masamu, as a lobbyist, not only can we not make the other party feel that the family has a request for him, but we are grateful for the advice of the family, this is the highest state of the lobbyist, if you are like you, Vino is weak-hearted, the talks are doomed to fail before they begin" Honda Masanobu solemnly admonished: "Although the lord made the bottom line clear before he came, after the matter is completed, he will hand over the top collar of Tsu Etsu Godewa to the Uesugi family, so that his total knowledge will reach 2.3 million stone, but this is the bottom line after all, The purpose of our trip is to form a 'Martial Olympic Alliance' at a much lower cost than this, and to clear the worries of the main metric system to dominate the world."

"It's a mistake, please forgive my father" Honda Masashi nodded heavily, Honda Masatin waved his hand: "You have experienced too little, you still have to learn these things, of course, what I just said is just a general direction, how to do it, I will show you for my father"

The two chatted with a pot of tea until the evening, but they didn't show boredom, which made the retainers of the Uesugi family can't help but sigh: "In the end, it's the henchmen of the inner house, this bearing is different" As he spoke, Uesugi Keikatsu and Naoe Kanesushi arrived at Wakamatsu Castle in the dust, and summoned Honda and his son to the palace to meet without resting

"Foreign Minister Hondasato Masanobu Shimonosuke Masasumi meets His Royal Highness Aizu Nakatsu" Facing the unsmiling Uesugi Keikatsu, Honda and his son were also calm and calm, and after saluting respectfully, they sat firmly on the right side of the palace, opposite the important ministers of the Uesugi clan such as Naoe Kanesuke Honjo Shigenaga

"Sado Mamoru came to Aizu from thousands of miles away, I don't know what's important?" Uesugi Keikatsu gets straight to the point

Honda Masatin was expressionless, and replied in a calm tone: "I heard that the Uesugi family is about to be in trouble, and the foreign minister came to the rescue on the order of the inner government."
