Kasuga Mountain Castle, which has been silent for a few days because of a turmoil in the assessment meeting, has another major event happened, or because of the land lawsuit case between Ueno Ienari and Shimohira Yoshinaga, the conflict between Honjo Minoru and Okuma Asahide completely broke out, and the two had a big quarrel at the routine executive meeting that day, and they almost started to do it on the spot, and finally they were pulled away by Nagao Jinghu.

The reason for this was that Minoru Honjo, in his capacity as the elder of the Nagao family, overturned the judgment of Okuma Asahide, transferred all the disputed land to Ueno Ienari, and asked Nagao Masaki, the leader of the Ueda people, to write a handwritten letter to the Ueda people in Uonuma County to "assist" Ueno Ienari in regaining the land that had been lost for more than 40 years.

In any case, it is always obvious that it is beneficial to the Ueda people, and since the Nagao political scene, it doesn't mind that the Echigo Uesugi faction led by the big bear Asahi will suffer a big loss, and they have been so pitted by the Nagao political scene in the first place, and now they are just recovering the land of the five antis, which is not enough for the Echigo Uesugi faction to repay what they owe to the Ueda people.

Shimohira Yoshicho is just a native of Uonuma County, and he is also a native of the Echigo Uesugi faction, the original core of this group of people was Echigo's predecessor guardian Uesugi Dingmi, as well as his branch of the Kamijo clan, the Yamamoto Temple clan, the Yamaura clan and many retainers of the guardian faction were official, and the Ueda people and the guardian faction wore a pair of pants so that they didn't think it was inappropriate, and now the two families are broken and Hirayoshicho is unlucky.

He didn't dare to appeal at all, because Honjo Minori was the core figure of the former guardian generation, and Echigo's current guardian Nagao Keitor's mentor was equal to his first teacher, Amaura Mitsuyu, and Honjo Minori represented all the forces of the Echigo Nagao family, and his will was at some point equal to the will of the lord. Where did he dare to appeal.

In the same way, he did not dare to arm against Ueno Iesei. Because it is surrounded by the territory of the Ueda people. The five anti-lands that flew off to his mouth were handed over to Ueno Ienari with the "assistance" of the Ueda forces, and in the embattled situation, where did he still have the courage to fight against the entire Ueda people, so he could only suffer a dumb loss.

Shimohira repairs Ryo Yoshicho's admission of defeat, Dakuma Ashide's inside and out is not a human being, and the Echigo Uesugi faction has been fluctuating in the past three years since it lost the aura of protection. As the current leader and the first minister in charge of tax collection in Echigo, he could not bow to Honjo under any circumstances.

As a result, at the aforementioned executive meeting, Okuma Asanoi and Honjo Minoru completely tore their faces, and even had a big fight at one point, causing greater confusion, and Nagao Keitora tended to be thunder and rain, first reprimanding Honjo Minoru for not respecting the opinion of Okuma Asanohide, the handler of the land dispute, and then comforting him, and the matter was put on hold first. As long as the parties do not complain again, they will not be asked.

Of course, Daxiong Chaoxiu didn't want to suffer this loss, so he sent someone to contact Xia Pingjichang. Let him continue to fight to the end, their Echigo Uesugi faction will support him, but Shimohira Yoshicho didn't have the courage at all, just a hastily perfunctory matter, and the big bear Ashide, who received the reply, was full of thought that he was writing a petition to continue the lawsuit, and even the cruel words at the subsequent executive meeting must be recovered.

As a result, left and right waited for the next Hirayoshi to come to Kasuga Mountain Castle in person, and the big bear Chaoxiu who couldn't wait sent someone to find him again, this time the messenger ate a closed door without accident, and the big bear Chaoxiu realized that he had been fooled, and in a fit of anger, he ran to the executive meeting and made a big noise, this time he was unexpectedly reprimanded by a group of retainers, and even Hirako Fangmasa, Chisaka Jingqin, and Usami Dingman did not help him speak.

Seeing that his allies were indifferent one by one, Daxiong Chaoxiu felt that his dignity was trampled on, so he declared that he wanted to retire without saying a word, and returned directly to himself in the residence of Kamietsu Keiguan Castle and closed his door, Nagao Jinghu of course did not want to see this, and sent envoys one after another to invite him back, the reason is that the Daxiong family has served as the tax commissioner of the Echigo Uesugi family for generations, and whether it is Duan Qian or Donbetsu money, he collects it.

When Nagao Weijing and Uesugino were opposed, the former governor of the Okuma family, Okuma Masahide, took the opportunity to turn to the side of the Nagao family and transferred the taxes that should have been paid to the Echigo Uesugi family to the Nagao family, thus directly promoting Nagao to defeat Uesugi Nono in one fell swoop, and continued to play an important role when the Kanto governor Uesugi led the army to attack Echigo.

Although at the time of the one-third war, Okuma Masahide stood on the side of the constitution of the upper article, but for the important position and outstanding contribution of this family in Echigo, so Nagao Keihu still had to give this important minister some face, seeing that Okuma Asahi did not return for a long time, Nagao Keihu had the heart to personally apologize and ask him to go out of the mountain again, and his decision was immediately blocked by Honjo Mino.

"The lord is not at fault, why did he go to Keiguan City to apologize in person, if this case is opened, everyone in the Echigo family will retreat to control the lord of the country, how can the country of Echigo be governed, and how should you, the lord of the country, deal with himself?"

Long-tailed Jinghu thought about it and felt that he still had to go to see the big bear Chaoxiu, even if he didn't apologize, he had to find a way to invite him back, so the spring mountain city was not far from the Jiguan City, and he could go back and forth in a day on horseback, when he rushed to the Jiguan City with the guards, he learned that the big bear Chaoxiu had been closed for many days, and there was a wooden sign hanging outside the big hand gate, which read, "Even if the lord of the country comes, he will never go back!" ”

Maybe the original intention of him hanging this wooden sign was to stop the messenger who came to persuade him, or maybe he didn't expect that Nagawei Jinghu would come to Keiguan City in person, in short, Nagao Jinghu's face was ugly at that time, and he returned to Kasuga Mountain City with his headquarters on the spot, and never mentioned the matter of the big bear show off the mountain.

In a sense, this is a war between two factions for dominance, and the fuse of this war is an inconspicuous land dispute, and this battle has caused a big political crisis in the end.

But at this point, it was futile for him to explain, and the result of completely offending Nagao Jinghu was serious, not only making him lose his status as the leader of the Echigo Uesugi faction, but also causing the general rejection of Echigo's retainers.

At this time, a secret envoy of the Kai Kingdom secretly came to Keiguan Castle, and the secret envoy secretly told him: "At this time, there is no place for His Royal Highness Okuma to stand in Echigo Country, and it is said that Honjo Misaku Mamoru is contacting allies everywhere and planning to attack your Keiguan Castle, and the main hall of Nagaodans will definitely not interfere at that time, and the future and life of the Okuma clan are worried!" ”

Seeing this envoy of the Takeda family, Dakuma Chaoxiu looked very vigilant: "Where did you get the news?" How come I've never heard of it? You don't want to encourage me to rebel, do you? I'm telling you, you're dreaming! ”

The messenger said unhurriedly: "It's too much to guard the temple in front of you! There is no such idea in the following, just to remind His Highness that if His Highness does not believe it, you can check the movement of Zhuangtian Dingzi! Under the order to give fifty taels of gold to the Bizen Shouden, if one day, the Bizen Shouden can't stay in Echigo, please be sure to go to Kai Yishu, my Takeda family can guarantee the future of the Bizen Shouden, and I will say goodbye! ”

"Humph! I don't send it! Big Bear Chaoxiu stared at the back of the messenger and gradually disappeared, looked at the golden package, and snorted coldly: "Fifty taels of gold want to exchange the allegiance of my Big Bear clan?" What a deal! But my big bear family is not short of this money! It's just that this Zhuangtian has fixed capital, but it must be checked. ”

……

"You all go away! Leave me alone! ”

In the castle tower of the spring mountain castle, Nagao Jinghu is still angry, and there is nothing to do about it, and it is useless to invite Honjo to persuade him for a long time, and it is useless to change Naoe Mizuna and Saito Asanobu, and when the ministers are helpless, Kira Yoshishi slowly walks over.

"Wuwei Palace!" Honjo Shinai hurriedly greeted him, and a long-tailed retainer also saluted, so he heard him say worriedly: "I'm really sorry to ask you to come over, it's really the lord who is in a very bad mood now, please persuade me a few more words!" ”

"I understand." Kira Yoshishi closed the folding fan and said with a smile: "Jinghu Hall will be handed over to this family." ”

Looking at the back of Kira Yoshitoki's departure, Honjo Minoru and Naoe Mitsuna looked at each other and smiled bitterly, if there was any other way, they would not invite this Wu Wei Gong, this son-in-law of the Echigo Nagao family is a person other than Echigo after all, for the Echigo people, their own affairs are not used to others meddling, but this time the situation is different, as the initiator of the incident, Honjo Minoru can't solve it.

Walking into the castle tower, I smelled a pungent smell of alcohol, a bunch of empty bottles and cans were thrown around, and some dried wine stains flowed out with the empty bottles, and Nagao Jinghu drank staggered, drunk and lying between a pile of wine bottles, hearing movement in the room, the famous general of Echigo still opened his eyes for the first time, and stood up on the ground to stare at the approaching figure.

"Who is it? Not...... It's the time of righteousness! When he saw that the person who came was Kira Yoshi, the long-tailed Jinghu fell on his stomach in the wine bottle again, and the huge movement made several bottles clang, and said drunkly: "Why are you here?" Not in ...... Are you practicing marksmanship? Belch! ”

A burst of wine sneshed out along with the burp, which made Kira Yoshitoki take two steps back, cover his mouth and nose with a fan, and shake his head: "What is Jinghu Hall doing?" Is something happening? Driving the attendants out and drinking dozens of bottles of sake for most of the day will worry many of Echigo's ministers. ”

"Worried?" Nagao Jinghu stood up, grabbed the wine bottle everywhere with his misty eyes open, touched a bottle behind him, opened the cork, raised his neck and drank it in a big gulp, the clear wine went down the corner of his mouth on the monk's robe, drank a bottle of sake in a few gulps and threw the bottle aside casually, and swayed up and swayed left and right to the window and pushed open the paper door, a bright sunlight sprinkled down, expelling all the dark air accumulated in the castle tower.

"They're going to worry about me Jinghu?" Nagao Keitora pointed to the busy figure of His Excellency the Castle Keeper and sneered, "When did they worry about me? They are only worried about their land, the harvest in the field, and the disputes over the territory, how can they have half of my long-tail family? Lose sleep over something! Hum! ”

"Jinghu Hall ......"

"Oh no! Oh no! A servant ran over in a panic and shouted, "Princess Tiger Ji is gone!" (To be continued......)
