Chapter 459: Cooperation
Honjo silently observed the performance of this imperial platform, and his heart was already full of awe.
Compared to his proud lord, this imperial throne is more like a mature ruler.
Domination is based on violence, and violence does not need to be abused.
It doesn't matter if you have the ability to kill someone else, the important thing is that everyone thinks that you can kill her and is afraid of it.
This imperial platform is well aware of the three of them, and some means make the Chinese and Vietnamese people temporarily press their minds and dare not easily defect, which is really powerful.
You know, he's an outsider.
He used the shirts of Minoru Honjo to scare the people of Nakakoshi, and used the retreat of the people of Nakatsu to prove his ability to Minori Honjo and stabilize the dominance of decision-making.
What a great teenager.
Honjo Minoru thought silently, and didn't dare to look at this person with the same eyes as an ordinary man, and his attitude became more and more respectful.
How could Yoshiin have Honjo really thought so much, he just fluttered in the big dye vat in Kyoto for a year, and instinctively knew how to play.
Tochio Castle was his first foothold in the Kanto region, and he had to work hard to lay a foundation, regardless of whether or not Uesugi Terutora's gift was recognized by the Kamishi retainers after the war.
The more the next three points, the upper more is the self-reserved land of the Uesugi Huihu, and the lower is the unruly Yangbei territory, only the middle and Vietnam, can play a little trick.
Uesugi Huihu's shirts, the subordinates left by the old guards, plus the two Ueda and Guzhi Nagao, are enough to open a table of mahjong.
What's more, there are also many noises within the forces of all parties, which can be seen from this war.
One word, messy.
For Yiyin, who has just arrived and only has less than two hundred samurai in his hands, it is good to be chaotic, and he is afraid that everyone will be united.
Compared with Kansai, the poor life of the Kanto samurai family makes them more violent and extreme, and they love to hold together and reject outsiders.
The Echigo samurai are also famous in the Kanto region for their bitter cold and hardships, and they are not afraid of death, and it is even more difficult to control their hearts.
It is really a good starting point to have the chaos between China and Vietnam to allow him to divide the local martial arts, suppress and win over the two without delay.
He must rely on Edgeworth to consolidate his prestige and foundation as quickly as possible. The gathering of China and Vietnam is a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
As for Uesugi Terutoka's sharing of Echigo, it is a truth to sleep with the same bed.
In other words, it's how to sleep in the bed, and the Uesugi retainers don't approve of it, it's the same bed and different dreams.
Even if you admit it, who's on top and who's down? Who's got more quilts, and who's half of their bodies cold?
In the end, you have to rely on your own strength to fight.
Without strength, no matter how nice the words are, it is useless, and the political game depends more on the means than the strength.
Yoshigin's actions will inevitably harm the interests of the Uesugi family and harm their own interests, so how can the Uesugi family's Ji samurai group be happy.
For Minori Honjo, this Uesugi Terutora is a confidant in Chuetsu, and Yoshiyin wants to unite her and guard against her.
At the critical moment, pull more benefits into their own bowls, so that the Spo family can maximize the interests of China and Vietnam and gain a firm foothold earlier.
Therefore, he never asked Naoe Kanesu to come forward to coordinate the two sides, but was so tough that Honjo Minori handed over the leadership of China and Vietnam.
Naoe is not a simple girl, I guess I figured out what he meant, and after entering the city, I just watched and didn't say anything, and it was quiet until now.
Spo Yoshiyin and Honjo met their eyes, and they both smiled reservedly.
With Kuroda Hidetada's head on the ground, the attitude of the Chinese and Vietnamese people has also become clear, and they will wait and see for the time being, and will not act rashly.
After dragging away the dead bodies and cleaning up the site, Honjo actually introduced the samurai present to Spo Yoshiin one by one.
The concubines greeted each other as if the undried blood stains on the ground did not exist.
When they saw the last round, the Ji samurai retreated with their own hearts, leaving only Yoshigin, Yamanaka Yukimori, Honjo Minoru, Saito Asanobu, and Naoe Kane.
Yoshiin asked Honjo Mino.
"Will there be a repetition?"
Honjo shook his head.
"It's inevitable that the mind will fluctuate, but without the leader, no one dares to do it for a while, and it should be able to stabilize for a few days."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"I have set a ten-day date with Her Highness Uesugi that she will come to Hojo Castle to support.
I spent two days on the road, and now I have eight days left. Since they have recognized Tochio Castle as my imperial residence, they will have more scruples in the future.
Even if the rebels arrive and besiege the city, they will not immediately waver and open the door to the city. ”
Tochio City is not small, and the army is still too small, so it will inevitably use the Zhongyue people to assist in the defense, and the most fearful of ill-intentioned people should cooperate with the outside.
After Kuroda Hidetada's incident, although this hidden danger has not been removed, it has been able to delay for a while longer, which is also a good result.
Minoru Honjo nodded and said.
"The Yohoku people just crossed the Agano River, and it will take three days to reach Tochio Castle if everything goes well.
Before they arrived, Nagao Masashi and Dakuma Ashide's troops were insufficient, and they did not dare to come early to complete the siege.
If there is no situation on His Highness's side, we only need to keep it for five days. ”
Yiyin wondered.
"It's been a few days since spring ploughing, why are Yangbeizhong so slow?"
Minoru Honjo said with a smile.
"Yutai doesn't know that Yangbei has rebelled several times over the years, and they have been tightly guarded by the lord's family.
Except for a few samurai families such as Nakajo Fujishi, all the other families were heavily taxed, and there was not much food left at home.
If they want to send troops, they have to force a few Yangbei people who are biased towards His Highness to contribute money and food, and it will be slow to rip off.
I thought it was too early to cross the river at this time. ”
Yiyin shook and smiled bitterly, what a mess of Yangbeizhong.
"Didn't they kill the samurai family who was close to His Highness Uesugi? And such wonders? ”
Honjo replied.
"For hundreds of years, the people in Yangbei have been working together, and each family has broken bones and tendons, and the relationship is complicated.
Every family has a situation of doing some small actions with a big guy behind his back, who is clean?
If you really want to kill people, it won't be Nakajo Fujishi's turn to pad the head of the knife first. ”
She was surprised to see Yiyin, so she briefly explained the origin of the four branches of the Yangbei Zhongshilang Party.
Yiyin smiled after hearing this and said.
"Your Miao character is also this village, and it has an old relationship with the Zhongbei Zhuang family in Yangbei?"
Honjo shook his head in denial.
"Not really.
The Imperial Tai Institute must not underestimate this group of reckless women because of the internal discord among the Yangbei people.
If it weren't for the unruliness of these people and the inability to find a leader who could suppress them, no one would be able to beat them.
They're really good at fighting. ”
Honjo sighed.
She was afraid that because of the internal chaos in Yangbei, the Imperial Taiwan Institute would underestimate the enemy and make a mistake in decision-making, so she reminded her.
In fact, Yiyin is the best at cowardice, cautious cowardice, arrogance and arrogance are the style of the rich second generation of Uesugi Teruto, he can't.
Yiyin continued to ask.
"Tell me about Big Bear Chaoxiu and Nagao Zhengjing again, why did they rebel and what is their strength?
What is the reaction of the Koshi Nagao family? Will her family take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos? ”
Honjo answered one by one, and she also felt guilty about the rebellion of the big bear Chaoxiu.
Not to the big bear Asahei, but the lord Uesugi Teruto.
It was because she didn't take care of the people sent by Uesugi Teruhu that caused the old ministers of the Great Bear Chaoxiu to rebel.
As for Nagao Masaki, it was a typical samurai ambition swell, similar to the rebellion of Hojo Takahiro. Greed, there's nothing to say.
As for the Guzhi Nagao family, she said.
"Lord Nagao Keishinobu sent an envoy to interrogate me, and she did not move in order to deter Nagao Masaki, which made her hesitate and had no intention of standing idly by.
The Guzhi Nagao family is His Royal Highness's father's family, and there are many families serving under His Royal Highness, which is trustworthy.
It's just that the strength of the Gushi Nagao family is not as good as the Ueda Nagao family, so it can't be moved lightly. ”
Yiyin nodded, and after Honjo really narrated, he understood.
Uesugi Teruto's basic plate in Central Vietnam, the inside is Honjo Minoru is a line of Central Etsu Upper Shirts, and the outside is her father's Koshi Nagao family, these two sides are the backbone of her control of Central Vietnam.
Then, if Yiyin wants to gain a firm foothold in China and Vietnam, there are not many helpers to choose from.
The Ueda Nagao family was the first to be excluded, and Nagao Masaki married Uesugi Terutora's elder brother and had the inheritance right to peep into the Nagao family in Fuchu.
This is also the fundamental reason why she dislikes Uesugi Terutora and turns the Nagao family into the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, and she loses the possibility of ascending to the position of lord of Echigo.
This kind of power-hungry warrior can't be controlled with Yiyin's current strength.
The guardians of the Great Bear Chaoxiu faction can be considered, their requirements are not high, and they only hope that their interests will not be violated.
Yiyin couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Uesugi Teruto, the honest samurai who obediently surrendered, were forced to rebel, and the ruling methods were too rough, stupid.
However, it gave him a chance. It's just that I don't know what the color of Big Bear Chaoxiu is, and it's worth spending effort to pull her.
The guardians of China and Vietnam were also divided into many factions, such as Usami Joshimitsu in the Kashiwazaki Plain, who took refuge in Uesugi Teruma and mixed well.
Da Xiong Chaoxiu is so badly mixed, is there a problem in itself?
Let's see.
