"Speaking of which, Sanada Yutaka was still begging for food under the Shinano Palace, but later heard that the Takeda family was recruiting people, so he ignored the Shinano Palace and repeatedly retained, leaving his relatives and returning to Shinano. This life is really unpredictable! Speaking of Sanada Yukitaka, who had some dealings with Kohata Kenshige back then, but now he is the number one person in Shinano country, it is no wonder that he is envious.

Nagano Yegu interjected stubbornly: "He is very proud of the spring breeze!" Last year, he was suddenly abandoned by the Wuwei Palace's Chi Bei, and almost put his life into it, but now Xiaowei County has lost nearly half of it, and can only nest in the nest and can't hold out, but it's really a spring breeze! ”

"Don't talk about those ......" Nagano Xianzhong smiled bitterly, he really couldn't do anything about this sharp-toothed junior, so he could only guide the topic: "Let's talk about what we should do, right?" The Takeda family of Shinano and the Hojo family of Musashi are allies and cooperate with each other, and how can the people of Ueno Kuniku fight with the strength of one country to press into the armies of several countries? This year's situation is not allowable, Ye Gu is right, beware of changes over time! ”

"What should I do...... "A cadre of Chinese people held their heads and meditated for a long time.

"Do you really not know or pretend not to know?" Nagano Yegu sneered: "Since ancient times, the gang of people in the East Ueno have not been with us, what kind of strength do our West Ueno Semi-National Martial Arts take to resist Takeda and Hojo?" Don't you see that there is no way back? ”

"Morijiro ......"

"What the Karma Gu Hall said is right!" As a young man, Nobusada Kohata quite agreed with his idea, and then said: "How long can you rely on the tiger power of Jiayue to support it?" What should I do if my family is too old to go into battle? ”

"Xinzhen boy, don't underestimate the old man! There is no problem for the old man to fight for another ten years! Nagano glared at his little son-in-law. He half-squinted his eyes and chanted softly. Whenever the battle is over. Nagano has always recited the Jizo Sutra softly 100 times, a habit that has accompanied him for more than 40 years.

Now his first main room, the daughter of Uesugi Chaoliang, has been dead for many years, and the adopted daughter of the second successor Uesugi Asahi also died in a plague, and now the third person is the younger sister of Uesugi Kenmasa, who gave birth to the current son-in-law Shingoro for Nagano Yemasa, and survived two main rooms in succession, and can still give birth to several sons and daughters with the current main room a few years ago. This veteran is not ordinarily strong in all aspects of development.

Nobutaha Nobutaha was glared at by his father-in-law and father one after another, and his mouth was closed, and the other big-mouthed Nagano Yegu didn't have his father and brother to take care of him, so he still said to himself: "We only have a way out by taking refuge in the Wuwei Palace!" Don't forget that the Takeda family defeated the Takeda family last year, which was still a big victory, not only consolidating the dominance of Kitashinano, but also seizing the entire territory of the higher-level county and nearly half of the small county in one fell swoop! Sanada Yutaka's generation can only hold on, so wouldn't it be possible for us to take refuge in such a famous general? ”

"Iyomori is afraid that what he said is not true, right?" An Zhongcheng, who was also young and vigorous, retorted: "You must know what that Wuweidian did in Kita-Shinano, fines and confiscated tens of thousands of stones from Kita-Shinano's fields, and removed the names of several countrymen, which is even more excessive than the Takeda family!" Such people take refuge in the past. Aren't you afraid that one day you will also be counted as a ledger? ”

The Nagano family and the Anchu family are also old acquaintances, and Anchu Tadanari sits next to his father. Anchu Echizen guarded loyalty, this veteran over fifty years old is also a good brave general in Ueno, and his strength in the east and west for many years is extraordinary.

Nagano Yegu was not a fool, and he knew that he nodded to the veteran before replying: "Zhongchengdian is wrong to say this, those people are in front of the Takeda family, why can't they deal with the betrayer?" I agree with the approach of the Wuwei Palace, and I will never be soft on the people of Richie! To tolerate them is to encourage more people to betray! ”

He Tian Yefan said disapprerovantly: "Let's not talk about this question first...... Guan Lingdian has now gone to Echigo for refuge for more than half a year, and he still hasn't invited the Echigo army, which shows that Echigo doesn't care much about us! ”

The lord of Oto Castle, Odo Zuo, nodded: "I heard that this year's Wuweidian is married, and what land improvement is being carried out in the development of Xintian, and it is nonsense to mobilize tens of thousands of people to dig around, and I don't know what this noble man in Kyoto is thinking." ”

"Could it be that the Martial Guard Hall is not very satisfied with what the Leader Hall has given?" Nagano Yegu reacted quickly, and not long after being choked by a rhetorical question, he thought of a new idea: "Don't forget that the Guan Ling Hall has found Dr. Satake Ukyo to exchange for reinforcements as the Kanto Governor, and the Guan Ling Hall has nothing now, so it will definitely not mind selling the Uesugi family heirloom again, right?" ”

"Hehe......" The people of Ueno looked at each other and smiled, but when they looked up, they saw Nagano Ye looking at each other angrily, and hurriedly restrained their smiles and pretended not to know anything.

Nagano Yezheng snorted and rebuked angrily: "Are you so happy that the Leader Hall has been humiliated? Don't forget that we have received great favor from the Uesugi family, and without the Uesugi family, we would not be where we are today! ”

Nagano Ye is the standard traditional samurai, and the three main rooms are all from the Uesugi family, the first two are the Ogiya Uesugi family, and this one is the princess of the Uesugi Uesugi family, so it can be said that the generations have received the heavy grace of the Uesugi family, and in addition to the Ueno guardian generation Nagao family, he is the most supportive of Uesugi Kenma.

But he didn't do it, under the strong opposition of his relatives and a large group of sons-in-law, he didn't send troops to rescue Uesugi Kenmasa, who escaped from Hirai Castle, he knew that if he forcibly went to the rescue, one of his sons-in-law would definitely turn his face and twist the poor Kanto leader to Hojo Shiyasu, so he could only be silent.

Now he deeply regrets his silence and inaction, without the protection of Uesugi Kenmasa, they are a group of ownerless ministers, there is no prestige and powerful lord to command the people, so that the Ueno people lack cohesion, and now it is only a stopgap measure to make a cypress fan, without the full support of their relatives and a dozen sons-in-law, their fate will be worse than that of the people of Kita-Shinano.

"The current situation really can't make me wait any longer, look around Ueno, who can we choose? Only Echigo's Takee Hall ......"

"Enough karma!" Nagano was drinking his son-in-law's nonsense, stood up and said as he walked, "Everyone has worked hard for so long, let's go back and rest!" ”

Nagano Yegu still didn't give up and chased after him and said, "Father-in-law! Shall we reach out to the Governor's Palace? If the son-in-law goes to see the palace of the leader, he can also bring back a little news. ”

Nagano hesitated for a moment. Finally, he nodded: "It's okay." Go and see the scenery of Echigo. Remember to write it down. ”

"I want to go too!" Ignoring his father's angry glare, Kohata Shinzhen snorted and said: "I also want to see Echigo, I heard that Echigo has a lot of food, if we can ask the Wuweidian to support a little, our life will be better, there are many farmers who have fled the famine in recent years, and the land is about to be barren, it's really a pity!" ”

The young man's words hit Nagano Yemasa's heart. In the past few years, natural disasters and military disasters have continued one after another, especially in the past two years, earthquakes, floods, droughts, locust plagues, and plagues have struck one after another, so that the population of Ueno has plummeted all the way to 250,000.

The veteran wanted to open his mouth several times and refused to speak, and every time he went out of the city to see the ragged peasants, he would feel sad, once upon a time Ueno was also a rich country, the land was fertile and the people were stable, and under the rule of the Uesugi family, it was once a rare paradise in the Kanto.

Now that the war has destroyed this paradise on earth, many families have been torn apart because of the war, and they have followed the Yamauchi Uesugi family across the Kanto region for decades. He buried hundreds of fellow samurai with his own hands, and among these people there were even uncles, fathers, and grandfathers of the samurai who were here.

Now he is old. No matter how brave the tiger is, there will be a day when he is so old that he can't walk, even if he can still eat and sleep well, and have the energy to have children with his wife, he can still bravely go into battle to kill the enemy...... But he knew that he was old, his beard was white and wrinkled all over his cheeks, and his strength was losing over time, and that one day he would not be able to ride a horse, draw a bow, or even get out of bed.

"Go ahead! Bring more samurai and be safer on the road. ”

Kohata Ken said worriedly: "But they are still too small, and there is chaos outside, in case ......"

Nagano Ye was very open, but persuaded him: "It's not small! We're samurai who started fighting at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and we've already cut off a lot of heads at their age! Eagles have to go through the wind and rain to grow, let them go and let them develop freely! ”

"Okay!" Kohata Kenshige was finally convinced, and turned his face to the worried sister-in-law and instructed: "You must be careful on the road, listen to your cousin's words in everything, and I will send a hundred red guards to protect you." ”

"Thank you, Father!" Nobusada Kohata thanked him happily.

Nagano and Minowa shocked the Kanto people with their tenacity, unity, and strength, and his integrity, loyalty, and bravery were praised by the Kanto samurai, who spoke of the Kamisu macular as the style of the ancient Banban warriors.

After the autumn, Kira Yoshitoki married the two daughters of Ii Naohu and Numata Sandalwood, and the two girls can also see whether they can eat it, no matter how many means Numata Sandalwood uses, Kira Yoshitoki just doesn't go to her room to stay overnight, and she is angry and tears are shed, and Tiger Ji will always make the appearance of Mrs. Mura at this time, comforting Numata Sandalwood not to be sad, and the women of the samurai family always have to suffer and suffer.

With a keen judgment of the situation and a superb skill, Numata Sandalwood, who temporarily suppressed the jump, and cooperated with Kira Yoshitoki, the first female guardian daimyo of the Warring States period was very generous to allow him to enter and leave his room, of course, the ban is still in effect, and he can't do anything shameful for three years.

When Chiyo Mochizuki found Kira pitifully, she shook his arm and said, "It's not fair! Why can Sister Naohu and Sister Sandalwood marry His Royal Highness, why can't Chiyonu, why can't they? Does His Highness hate Chiyo Girl? ”

Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Kira Yoshitoki could only say: "It's not that I hate Chiyo Girl, it's really that Chiyo Girl is too young, and she can't get married at the age of twelve this year!" You see, Ah Hu, Zhihu, and Sandalwood all got married at the age of fourteen, so wait patiently for two years, eat more, sleep more, exercise more, and grow tall! ”

"Chiyonu knows! Does Your Highness like tall women? So Chiyonu will definitely work hard! The little girl ran away with a puff of smoke.

"Little bean Ding, who is less than 1.4 meters old, is too short...... Ji Liangyi subconsciously said: "I'm not Lolicon, so at least I have to grow to 1.6 meters like Ah Hu." ”

From the end of spring including the whole summer, the counties of Xiayue are not idle, the polders must be built in autumn and winter, the embankment is compacted and the land is gradually hardened in the late autumn, the land is soft in spring and summer, and then it rains a little that the embankment will be built in vain, and digging the branch canal is also the best in autumn and winter, but there are too many things to do in autumn and winter, and can only be arranged to do in spring and summer.

Hosokawa Fujitaka, as the chief executive of the project, has to take a boat to the city every few days to watch a day or two and then come back to work, Mitsui Takayasu was assigned to him as an assistant, the young man is energetic and flexible, and he can learn things a thousand times faster than the simple child like wood, in the words of Kira Yoshitoki, you have to be smart and learn quickly, and of course, more importantly, be loyal and law-abiding.

In the past few years, there have been dozens of delinquents who have committed crimes, and this kind of person is either greedy for money, or has done some false accusations against colleagues to harm others and benefit themselves, and there are many means of punishment, from flogging to confiscation of property, downgrading to several levels, and continuing to do things from the bottom, so as not to kill or maim them, but also to make them feel pain.

Because the accounts of the Kira family are very clear and there are not many loopholes to drill, it is said that it is the Western-style bookkeeping method that Kira Yoshishi got from the Nanban, and there is a strong eye-paying system of the Kira family, so that the pursuers' selfish methods have nothing to hide, and there will always be people who are inexplicably caught, and gradually many of the commissioners are also careful.

Mitsui Takayasu is one of the most outstanding among the young pursuers, several years of research to even come up with a shorthand ability, coupled with the ability to do everything faster than others a few beats, Mitsui Takayasu as an assistant, according to the standards of the people to sort out urgent, important, more important, ordinary, four levels of various types of government affairs, can effectively improve work efficiency.

At the end of autumn and into winter, the statistics of the autumn harvest of the new year in Echigo were basically completed, and the total area of cultivated land in Echigo was 63,000 steps, and the total grain output reached an astonishing 2 million stones, which was nearly quadrupled compared with last year's total grain output.

Compared with the previous year's many disasters and difficulties, although this year's annual scene is not the best Chenguang in decades, it can also be called the wind and rain and the countryside is peaceful, there is no day and no man-made disasters, starting from a few spring rains in early spring, forty or fifty rains a year are also considered to be the standard level, and the flood season has also passed smoothly.

With the addition of the newly developed 5,000 Machibu Nitta this year, the Kira family has more than 12,000 machibu land in Echigo, and more than 8,500 machibu belonging to the Nagao family, so far these two families have become veritable large landowners in Echigo, with 200,000 farmers working for the two families, including 120,000 local residents in Echigo, and 80,000 displaced people from all over Hokuriku, Kanto, and Ha-Oku.

At present, the total cultivated area of Echigo is 63,000 towns, of which about 20,000 towns are planted with new grain, and the grain produced by this part of the land accounts for eighty percent of the total output, and 1,600,000 stone of new grain is enough for hundreds of thousands of people in Echigo to eat for two years.
