Uesugi Keikatsu they were happy, but Yangbei people were not happy, after all, the people who suffered the most damage in this joint battle were the people of Yangbeizhong, and the strength under their command was greatly weakened, and in this case, the Uesugi family successfully surrendered to the Kuroda family, and they even felt that it might be a punishment for them by Uesugi Keikatsu.

It was only when the mother promised them that they would keep seventy percent of the land, that they finally came back to life from the mood of their dead father.

Previously, they had always thought that they could only keep sixty percent of the land, but this time they also fought a war with the Kuroda family, and it stands to reason that if the Kuroda family punished them, they would probably not even be able to keep the land of the five cities, although they had already submitted to the Kuroda family.

And now, as the spokesperson of Kuroda Vocational High School in Hokuriku, Takayu Musato actually allowed them to keep seventy percent of their land, which means that this represents the attitude of the Kuroda family, and they can keep most of their land.

Only if they work hard after that, there will be a lot of opportunities to recover their strength, and they will be able to follow the Kuroda family to continue to build up their achievements, which is what they want to see.

The reason why the Kuroda family only allowed the wealthy clan and the countrymen to keep sixty percent of the land in the previous attack was because this time the whole big battle was a relatively easy thing for the Kuroda family, and those wealthy clans and countrymen were hostile forces. They don't need to keep much land for them, and they know what to do.

But the Uesugi family is different, the Uesugi family is a great name in Hokuriku Province, and it is also one of the most famous families in the world, and if it is just by keeping an extra layer of land for them, they can retain more loyalty, this is a deal worth making.

We must know that at the beginning of the Kuroda family, the condition for the submission of the wealthy family and the countrymen was to retain eighty percent of their land.

As a result, when the Kuroda family reduced this level to sixty percent before, those wealthy families and people did not dare to have any opinions, after all, the Kuroda family is now the biggest force in the world! For these small forces like them, it can definitely be said that they want to get what they want.

And now the mother of the mother through small means, just let these wealthy families keep seventy percent of the land, to a certain extent to subdue the hearts of the people in Yangbei, it can be seen that the time when he studied beside Kuroda Vocational High School, and this period of time he faced the huge pressure brought to him by the entire army in his mother's house, there is still a lot of growth, at least he has begun to learn to play political means, a year ago, he probably would not have done this, this year he still has a lot of changes.

After Takatomo Musato surrendered to the Uesugi family, news came from the Ashina family to the east that Ashina Moritaka, the head of the Daimyo Ashina family in Mutsu Province, sent a message to ask for submission to the Kuroda family.

Speaking of the Ashina family, we must mention the last head of the family, the Ashina Mori clan, who is now dead, he is the sixteenth generation head of the Mutsu Ashina clan, the lord of Aizu Kurokawa Castle, and the young man showed strong political and military strength, and subdued the surrounding daimyo such as Nikaido and Yamada.

When he was middle-aged, he established his only son, Ashina Shengxing, as the governor of the Ashina family, and retired himself as the emperor of the Ashina family. However, the good times did not last long, and Ashina Morihei, who had already shown his ability to keep his achievements and had been recognized by his retainers, died of illness in the third year of Tensho (1575 AD).

At this time, the Ashina Mori clan was tragic, his eldest son Ashina Morixing's main room, Date Huizong's sister Date Gozen gave birth to a girl for the Ashina family, and the side room gave birth to a son, but it was a baby who was still breastfeeding, and in the case of the Ashina Mori clan was already seriously ill, it was obvious that even if he was helped to the position of the family governor, he could not convince the people in the family.

In desperation, the Ashina Mori clan can only seek to find someone who has reached adulthood and has the ability to keep it to inherit the Ashina family.

Among the many candidates, in the end, the Ashina Mori clan decided to adopt the hostage of the Nikaido family, Ashina Moritaka as his adopted son, and he married Date Gozen, and then inherited the family governor, but what he never expected was that the family was quickly divided into the Date faction and the Satake faction, and the issue of the heir of the Ashina family caused chaos in the Ashina family.

In the eighth year of Tensho, that is, two years ago, the "Hero of the Northeast" Ashina Mori, who created the largest territory of the Ashina clan, died in fear of the future and fate of the Ashina clan.

In the 9th year of Tensho (1581 AD), Ashina Moritaka actually made a move to submit to the Kuroda family, and he sent his retainer Kinami Moribei to Kyoto, and presented some of the goods and souvenirs to the Kuroda family, hoping to gain the status of the head of the family through the approval of the Kuroda family, the largest power.

In the face of his kindness, and based on the strategic situation that the Kuroda family is about to sweep the world, the Kuroda family agreed to his request, and in the name of the Kuroda family, recognized the status of the head of the Ashina Moritaka family.

Although Ashina Moritaka was very politically skilled, he still couldn't calm the distrust of the retainers, and this time it happened that after the Kuroda family subjugated the Uesugi family bordering the territory, he felt that he had a chance to submit to the Kuroda family, so he had the information of his previous surrender.

It's just that among the current Ashina family, in addition to the old minister faction left by the Ashina Mori clan, there are also two factions, the pro-Satake family and the pro-Date family, and the power of these two factions is still very strong, which is where Ashina Moritaka is currently embarrassed.

Just when the Kuroda family sent someone to report that they had agreed to Ashina Moritaka's request for submission, and sent people to Kurokawa Castle to prepare to accept the Ashina family, the retainers of the pro-Satake faction made the first move, and when Ashina Moritaka went to Tokoji Temple to meet the Kuroda family's envoy, one of the retainers, Matsumoto Taro, staged a coup d'état and seized Kurokawa Castle.

Fortunately, the Kuroda family sent two thousand-person teams led by Musato Tomoshin and Goto Keiji and others, so they were considered to be outnumbered, so they were not poisoned by the other party. But even so, they must work with Ashina Moritaka to pacify the Ashina family's civil strife first.

On the other hand, the Date faction of the Ashina family chose to stand still for the time being, and after seeing the consequences of the pro-Satake faction, they decided how to act.

Takatomo Musato immediately ordered the task of helping the Ashina family to quell the chaos to the people of Yangbei, led by Nakajo Keishi, with 3,000 men, going to Mutsu to assist Musato Yunobu.
