The first thousand and seventy-seventh chapter when the ritual collapses and music is broken
Sanada Nobushige listened attentively, and Umino Riichi smiled slightly and continued.
"Kanto Shiba led these recent warriors, and now they are determined to follow Shima Shengmeng. They are foreigners, and they cannot survive in Kanto without sticking together.
But if we go back to recent times, would they still be so obedient?
If Dao Shengmeng has any female ambition, he will try every means to prevent them from returning, and bribe them with enough benefits to stay for his own use."
Sanada Nobushige nodded and said.
"Dasheng is fierce, intelligent and courageous, and is indeed more courageous than Yamanaka Yukimori.
She would most likely choose to stay in Kantung to fight the battle, so as to avoid trouble at the Kantō Palace and gain more power and position for herself.
What about me? What should I do?”
Umino Riichi looked at Sanada Nobushige solemnly and said.
"Shogun Ashikaga was unfortunately in trouble, and the imperial office returned to being single. Sanada Nobushige, let me ask you one last time, do you really want to fight?
Oitaisho's status is extraordinary, he is of noble birth, has outstanding abilities, and has a prosperous family business. His marriage is no longer a simple political marriage, but can influence the general trend of the world.
You already have the land of tens of thousands of stones in Azuma County, the reputation of being the leader of the Kanto Palace, and you have climbed to an unprecedented high position in the Sanada family, and you have become famous.
Do you really want to stick to that delusion, embark on this path of no return, and risk everything?
You have to think carefully, this is related to your future, my future, Sarutobi Sasuke's future, and the Sanada people's future.
Everything we have now is hard-earned and hard-earned. If you lose the bet, we will die without a burial place.
Do you really want to bet?"
Umino Riichi's eyes were fixed on Sanada Nobushige, she needed an answer.
Sanada Nobushige was silent, recalling the journey of the past half year in her mind. For her ambitions, the sisters who grew up together died in Azuma County and in Sano Territory.
The Sanada people in the imperial court have changed from loose mercenaries who followed her just to eat white rice, to good sisters who swear allegiance to her and work together to achieve success.
Do you want to put their futures on the line for your own selfishness?
Sanada Nobushige hesitated. The madness before her death triggered her desire to make progress. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Those who have nothing dare to think and do anything.
But today, she is already a great name, with hundreds of warriors under her command and their families eating with her.
After the death of Shiba Yiyin's wife, her seemingly distant dream has a chance to come true. But does she really want to seize this opportunity?
Sanada Nobushige was silent, and Umino Riichi stared at her without urging her.
I don't know how much time passed, but Sanada Nobushige was already dizzy with thoughts. Just when her head was so bloated and she gave up thinking, the last thing that appeared in her mind was that scene.
Shiba Yoshigan smiled at her and said, "Don't be afraid, just be patient and it will be over." Then he lowered his head. Sanada Nobunaga's lower body suddenly felt hot, as if he still remembered the warmth of his lips.
In an instant, her eyes turned from confusion to determination. Looking back at Umino Riichi's gaze, Sanada Nobushige sat down in a standard position and kowtowed to the ground.
She shouted loudly with guilt towards her sisters.
"I'm so sorry! But I really, really, really want to fuck him! I want to fuck him so much!"
Umino Riichi never expected that she would answer him like this, and his breathing stopped. Looking at Sanada Nobushige who was maintaining the earth seat posture, Umino Riichi couldn't help but sigh.
This pervert, she is no ordinary pervert, she is so special... I have nothing to say...
At this time, Sarutobi Sasuke walked into the shogunate, holding two cups of tea in his hand, and said doubtfully.
"Who are you going to fight? Are you going to fight again?"
Umino Riichi stood up, avoided Sanada Nobushige's seat, walked up to Sarutobi Sasuke, grabbed a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.
After relaxing her mood, she said calmly.
"Who are we going to fight with? This battle may last a lifetime."
Sarutobi Sasuke didn't know why, she frowned and shouted.
"Hey, one of the two cups is mine. After you finish drinking, go up and pour the tea for the Lord."
Umino Tori glanced at Sanada Nobushige with a crooked eye, and Sanada Nobushige said seriously.
"Sasuke, give me the cup in your hand."
Sarutobi Sasuke said reluctantly.
"This cup is mine, and your cup was drunk by her."
Sanada Nobushige answered naturally.
"What's yours is mine, you can go out and drink by yourself."
Sarutobi Sasuke was stunned and speechless, angrily handed the tea cup to Sanada Nobushige who stood up and stretched out his hand, and went out again.
Sanada Nobushige walked up to Umino Riichi and handed over the teacup attentively.
"Liu Niang has said so much, she must be thirsty, right? One cup is not enough, please have another cup."
Looking at the shameless Sanada Nobushige, Umino Riichi helplessly shook his head and sat back down.
Sanada Nobushige sat back on the main seat, swallowed the tea in one gulp, and then said sternly to Umino Riichi.
"I'm sorry, I want to keep betting."
Umino Riichi said coldly.
"If I had known that you would not give up because of your desire, I am just giving you a warning. It will be more and more difficult in the future.
Who knew you would actually say such a thing."
Sanada Nobunaga touched his nose and said embarrassedly.
"It's hard to restrain one's feelings, so every sentence comes from the heart."
Umino Riichi couldn't control her expression, her forehead was twitching, she really couldn't bear it, she said.
"I got it, stop talking, let's talk about business. What do you think of the choice between Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuruo?"
Sanada Nobushige thought for a while and said.
"It's not wrong, right? At least it's the best choice based on their situation."
Umino Riichi's eyes flashed with a sense of ridicule, and she said.
“The best option?
In troubled times, extraordinary things happen, and all routines are collapsing, which is where heroes and heroines come in. Those who follow the rules will never achieve great results."
"You mean, you don't agree with their actions?"
"good.
My lord, you single-handedly led the Shino tribe in Nishi Ueno, occupying ten thousand rocks of land in Azuma and one county in one autumn and winter.
But if there weren't such troubled times, with your background, would you be able to accomplish this?
The system of the Wu family is strict and the hierarchy is orderly. Although the Ziye family is not lowly in character, it cannot be said to be noble.
As the general leader of a family, the Umino family is destined to be a kowtowing insect in front of the Genji bloodline, let alone the branch Sanada family."
Sanada Nobushige was thoughtful.
"Liu Niang, please explain more clearly."
Umino Ri kept saying it.
"The world has been in chaos for nearly a hundred years, and the shogunate has finally reached the brink of collapse.
I dare to assert that the Ashikaga shogunate will no longer be able to continue. Even if the imperial government tries to turn the tide, it will not be able to save the Ashikaga world that is about to overthrow.
All order has been slowly disintegrating over the past hundred years. How can the imperial office alone be able to restore it?
The Ashikaga shogun died tragically unmarried and without a designated heir. The orthodoxy of the Ashikaga family was cut off. Even if the shogunate raised another shogun with impure origins, it would be difficult to convince the samurai families in the world.
The title of the pillar of the Wu family must undergo a baptism of iron and blood, such as the battle of Genpei and the rise of Ashikaga.
Before the emergence of the people of the world who subdued all samurai families, the orthodoxy of the shogunate no longer existed.
Yamanaka Yukimori followed his master closely, seeking the power of close ministers in the highest ruling circle. Shima Katsuki chose Kanto because he sought a high position in the guardian system.
But they were all wrong. When order completely collapses, the martial arts families in the world will no longer care about the shogunate and will no longer be afraid of their status.
Everything will return to its starting point."
Sanada Nobushige listened intently and couldn't help but ask.
"So, what is the origin?"
Umino Riichi said firmly.
"land!
The order of the shogunate collapsed and it was no longer possible to restrain the samurai families in the world. When the samurai no longer sought service in the shogunate and no longer respected the guardianship system, only the land in their hands could bring them a sense of security.
With land, food and population, only then can we have the military strength to protect ourselves.
The samurai no longer count on the shogunate, and they will go even more crazy to annex land and expand their military power. Only in this way can they ensure that they survive the troubled times.
Therefore, the choices made by Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo were not the best, but a misjudgment caused by the traditional samurai's respect for the shogunate."
Sanada Nobushige suddenly understood.
The heads of Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo have not yet turned around. They thought that this Kyoto Incident was like another civil strife in the shogunate since the Yashiro Shogun Rebellion, and that it would subside sooner or later.
But this time was different. The death of Ashikaga Yoshiki was like the last straw, breaking the last trace of awe among samurai families in the world for the declining shogunate.
Regardless of whether the shogunate in Kyoto will return to normal, no samurai family in the world will care about the shogunate anymore. The orthodox Ashikaga shogun is dead and will not recognize anyone who comes to power. Come and beat me, you idiot!
As Umino Riichi said, everything has returned to its original point, fighting for control of the land.
Whoever owns the most land can have the most food and military strength, and can defeat all the warrior families into submission and then seize the world.
Before this, the shogunate was a p, and the guardian system was also a p. Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo were still focused on fighting for power and gain, which was stupid.
Sanada Nobushige frowned.
"Sooner or later they will wake up."
Umino Li nodded and said.
"They will wake up, and all the martial arts families in the world will wake up, but those who wake up first will have the upper hand.
This time Echigo's army went south. We were the king's pioneers and made great achievements. Azuma County has been promised to you by the imperial government, but this is not enough.
The rites and music collapsed, the cauldrons thundered, the high banks became valleys, and the deep valleys became mausoleums. We need more land and continue to increase our strength until the day when rites and music are rebuilt."
Sanada Nobushige nodded repeatedly when she heard this. Her smile suddenly froze as she remembered something.
"Wait a minute, we originally wanted to forge ahead and strengthen ourselves, so why did you just use your relationship with Otai to scare me?
In troubled times, if you don't strengthen yourself, you will die, and if you do anything with Yutai, you are still risking your life!"
Umino Riichi looked at her coldly and said.
"I just want to remind you that troubled times will become increasingly cruel, so that you can be mentally prepared.
Unexpectedly, your mental preparation is a bit different..."
Sanada Nobushige's face turned red. Even if a normal person had trouble making a choice, he wouldn't yell for grass or dry food. He was indeed a genius.
After comforting himself, Sanada Nobushige said.
"As for the land, we can't count on Higashi-Ueno. From north to south, Numata Territory, Shirai Headquarters two Nagao, Ubashi Territory, and Nabo Territory are all territories that His Highness Uesugi must control.
If we want to make a breakthrough, we have to start from the Nishi Ueno land that we discussed before. But the Minawa people are difficult to deal with, and Nagano Yamasa is a tough nut to crack. If we act too hastily, it will be bad.
After all, she is an ally of His Highness Uesugi. This time the army goes south, which is considered cooperative, and we can't find any reason to attack her."
Umino Riichi took out a letter and said.
"Before breaking into Odawara Castle, I wrote a letter to Mr. Yutaka Sanada of Toshin, as you know."
Sanada Nobushige spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Well, let's ask my grandmother to help me break Nishi Ueno's corner. She is very familiar with Kobana Nobuzada of Kunamine Castle. But wasn't it that Nagano Yamasa took advantage of Kobata Nobuzada and drove him out of Nishi Ueno?
Now that Kunamine Castle is under the control of Kohata Kagesada, closely following the pace of Nagano Industry, Minawa and the others are monolithic and will be difficult to pry."
A hint of smile flashed across Umino's eyes and he said.
“That’s not necessarily the case.
Kobata Nobuzada has arrived at Azuma County and is waiting for us to return to the army. She would like to ask you to introduce me to the Imperial Palace and join the Kanto Palace to serve the public."
Sanada Nobunaga widened his eyes and said in confusion.
"Why would she come to me for a recommendation? I have no previous relationship with her."
Umino Ri clapped the letter and said.
"This is the credit of Mrs. Yukitaka Sanada. She pointed out a clear path for Nobuzada Obata and asked her to come to Azuma County to seek your help."
Sanada Nobushige said with a smile.
"Do you know the way? Grandma is really good at deceiving people. I want to learn from it. So now that Xiaohao Xinzhen is in our hands, how should we use her?"
Umino Riichi said.
"If the Imperial Palace wants to return to Jinji, even if she is introduced to the Kanto Palace and expects the Imperial Palace to help her return to Guofine City, it is impossible.
What we should do is to introduce her, but as for the Imperial Office, we can recommend her on our own initiative and ask the Imperial Office to place her with us in Azuma County."
Sanada Nobushige thought for a while and asked.
"Will Odaisho agree? Will Obata Nobusada be willing?"
Umino Riichi smiled coldly and said.
"Obata Nobuzada is willing to listen to Mr. Sanada Yukitaka's advice and go to the Kanto Palace in order to return to Kunimine Castle. As long as we promise to help her return, she will of course be willing to cooperate with us.
As for Odaisho, do you think he is really at ease with Nagano Yamasa?
Nagano Imasa expelled Obata Nobusada, and now in Nishi Ueno, the people of the country headed by Minawa are unable to get in. This is not a good thing.
Not to mention that the Odaisho did not want to see it, even His Highness Uesugi would find it unpleasant to be an ally of Nagano Yamasa.
His Highness Uesugi has gained a lot from his trip south this time.
If nothing else goes wrong, after the succession ceremony, Kanhachishu will quickly recognize her control of Kanto. Most of the land in Higashi Ueno will be assigned to the Uesugi family, and the people who are not direct descendants have also surrendered.
At this time, the Minawa clan in Nishi Ueno are still nominally surrendered and de facto independent. Is His Highness Uesugi satisfied?
The mountains of West Ueno are condescending and have a military advantage over the plains of East Ueno. Can His Highness Uesugi sleep at night?"
Sanada Nobunaga rolled his eyes and said.
"So, if the Sanada clan and the Minawa clan are at odds, is this a situation that both Godaisho and Uesugi-sama would be happy to see?"
