Hokushin Matsushiro Domain and Ueno Agatsuma County together have more than 10,000 koku, right? Ten sets of plate armor, that’s great, can you afford it?
The territory of more than 10,000 dan is not enough to support two reserve troops, but with four officials and six citizens, it is less than 5,000 dan.
How much food can you save in a year? Half a percent? Two hundred shi? It’s not even enough to buy rust-proof soybean feed and press oil for ten sets of plate armor!
I know that the samurai family of Azuma County can endure hardships and are willing to bring their own dry food to help you fight. You can pull out two reserve teams to join the battle in Sano Territory. It is really majestic.
You, Sanada Nobushige, are so popular among people, it’s amazing!”
Yoshigan kicked and scolded her, and Sanada Nobunshige was so frightened that he knelt down and pretended to be dead. When Yoshigan saw that she was being honest at this time, he snorted, "It's too late!"
"Yamaka Yukimori!"
"Hi!"
"Sanada Nobushige will be placed outside. The Sanada people will no longer be included in the imperial establishment. Let's disband them."
Yamanaka Yukimori kowtowed to the ground to receive the order. She was the nominal leader of the Yutai people. Yoshihiro was following the procedure.
Yiyin continued.
"Big Bear Chao Xiu."
"Hi!"
"The Sanada people do not belong to the imperial establishment and will not enjoy the treatment of imperial people in the future."
Da Xiong bowed to Chao Xiu and accepted the order, and looked at Sanada Nobunshi with sympathy.
Umino Riichi sighed in the crowd. Now the Sanada people suffered heavy losses. This idiot Sanada Nobushige really made the Odaisho angry.
Sanada Nobushige was indeed in pain, but she did not dare to raise her head and beg for mercy. Odaisho was really angry, and she also knew she was afraid.
Shiba Yoshigan kicked Sanada out of the imperial establishment, canceled her benefits, and cut Sanada Nobunaga to death. This was to stop her delusion of causing trouble in Nishi Ueno.
The military core of the Kanto Palace is the Otai people. After the Battle of Kawanakajima, Yoshigan used both hard and soft tactics to completely control the Hime Warriors.
No matter how much the Shimoyue people and the Sanada people fight, they dare not question the authority of Shiba Yiyin, because the Yutai people group enjoys transcendent economic benefits.
The number of Yutai people is about 250, divided into the Yiyin Tongxin Clan, the old Tongxin Clan in Shanzhong Xingsheng, the Shimoyoshi Clan, and the Sanada Clan.
When forming Yutairen, Shiba Yoshiyin ordered the three-piece Yutairen special set of white rice, pickled radish, and dried salted fish.
In order to show his obedience to the imperial office, Daxiong Chaohide maintained a high level of supplies to the imperial people and never dared to run short of them.
Salted fish cannot be guaranteed to be provided every day, but the quality and quantity of white rice and pickled radishes are guaranteed. Even if the Yutai people are away on war, there will be a monthly ration of raw white rice.
To put it simply, the imperial establishment has gradually become the core crop of the Kanto Palace. The Shimogotsu clan and the Sanada clan each have a hundred establishments, with one person disabled in battle and one retired from service.
The monthly quota of raw rice can be collected at any time at the shrine. Eating it yourself or selling it is an extra income.
White rice is not brown rice, and the price on the market can be exchanged for at least five for one. One person in the family becomes a Yutai person, and the harvest is guaranteed every month due to drought and flood, and he can get the rations of five Ji warriors.
For the impoverished lower-class warrior Ji, this income can ensure that the whole family has enough to eat, and they envy their relatives and friends who are half-starved and half-fed.
Therefore, the grassroots martial arts are eager to recruit Yutai people. Every time there is a supplementary selection after the war, the Ji warriors who are qualified to join go all out, hoping to become a part of Yutai people.
Sanada Nobushige's territory was only over 10,000 koku, so she dared to covet Nishi Ueno and provoke Nagano Yamasa, who controlled Nishi Ueno's mobilization force of more than 100,000 koku.
Why? Just because the one hundred Sanada people behind her who were made up of Yutai people were loyal, brave, and unafraid of death.
The salary is high, and of course morale is high. The most important thing is that the money and food to support them does not come from Sanada Nobushige's own territory, and they eat food prepared by the Otai people.
Yiyin saw through her intentions. How could this wild monkey afford ten sets of plate armor? She was just being a rogue and wanted the Kanto Palace to help her raise it!
As long as Shiba Yoshigan relents, Daxiong Chaohide's practice will have to bear the maintenance cost of these ten sets of plate armor. Otherwise, with the land output of Sanada Nobushige? The poor b lord can support a p.
It's better now, because stealing a chicken means losing a pound of rice. Not only is the plate armor gone, but Yoshigoshi Shiba is also angered, and he directly deprives a hundred Sanada people of their imperial establishment.
Not to mention that Sanada Nobushige was provoking Nagano Yamasa, it was still a problem when he went back to explain to the sisters under his command.
The monthly ration of ten Hime warriors is two koku, and the monthly ration of one hundred Sanada warriors is about twenty koku. The converted price in the market is one hundred koku of brown rice.
Losing 100 koku a month and 1,200 koku a year, how can Sanada Nobushige explain to these sisters who have been through life and death? If he makes a mistake, he will annoy the imperial office and overthrow everyone's iron rice bowl.
Sanada people are unstable, and Azuma County is unstable. Sanada Nobushige still has time to provoke Nagano Yamasa? Take care of your own life first!
With the fury of Yoshiyin's thunder, he deprived the Sanada people of their military strength. This attack was so cruel that all the girls present were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.
The subsequent deliberation was even more orderly. Knowing that the master was in a bad mood, who would dare to come out to seek death? Sanada Nobushige also became confused, and his mind was filled with the word "done".
When the deliberation was over, the ladies left the stage. Sanada Nobushige grabbed Umino Riichi outside the door, and he was already crying as he spoke.
"Liu Niang, you must help me think of a way this time. How can I tell my sisters when I go back? I'm really dead this time."
Umino Riichi glanced at her coldly. It was useless to scold her at this time. He had to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise the Sanada people would really fall apart.
Not to mention the unrighteousness of the sisters, we all have a family behind us who are waiting for food, and we all rely on the hard-core crops of the Yutai people to support us.
As the eldest brother, Nobushige Sanada, you can't keep your mouth shut and everyone has no food to eat. You can't let the whole family of sisters go hungry and work for you, right?
How can we talk about feelings and loyalty when we can't even eat? If I don't turn against you and give you a knife, I will be doing the best I can.
Sarutobi Sasuke on the side also frowned. She had the knowledge given by Yoshiyuki and was a retainer who had the right to participate in the review, so she could see clearly in the room.
At this time, she didn't bother to laugh and scold Sanada Nobushige. If he couldn't pass this test, Sanada Nobushige would really die.
Even if all the profits from her territory are used to raise soldiers, the treatment of the Sanada people will be far worse than before, and their loyalty will naturally be greatly reduced, and their foundation will be shaken.
Umino Riichi still had the same girlish face. She waited until the girls were almost gone, then pulled Sanada Nobushige to a corner and said.
"Your fortune is good."
Sarutobi Sasuke couldn't help it anymore and asked.
"It's so miserable, how can you tell your fortune?"
Umino Riichi said coldly.
"The imperial office is in a hurry and does things to the extreme, which is the master's destiny.
If you think carefully and control the punishment within the range that the Lord can bear, it will be difficult to handle."
Sasuke Sarutobi still wanted to speak, but was held back by Sanada Nobushige. At this moment, Sanada Nobushige seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. She was full of desire to survive and her mind was spinning rapidly.
"What Liu Niang is saying is that the imperial office may take back its life?"
Umino Riichi said calmly.
"Whether you will take back your life or not depends on whether you are thick-skinned. Come with me to ask for an audience with the imperial court, and remember to cry harder when the time comes.
If the imperial office only deprives you of part of your territory, or takes away part of the command power of the Sanada clan, you can only accept it even if you are depressed.
But the Imperial Guard was angry and directly deprived the Sanadas of their imperial status. How could you afford to support a hundred Sanadas with your little territory?
Whether it is resentment among the Sanada people or renewed turmoil in Azuma County, these are not the results that Odai wants to see.
He will be returning to Kokomo soon, so things in Kanto must be as stable as possible.
He was angry because he saw that you were desperately trying to cause trouble, so he started to weaken your ability to cause trouble. But what if he punished you severely and Azuma County turned into a mess? "
Sanada Nobushige nodded fiercely.
"Yes, I'm going to make a fool of myself. If the imperial office knows that I can't handle such a big pot, Azuma County will definitely be in chaos."
Umino Riichi warned sharply.
"You are so greedy that you just ask for ten sets of plate armor without consulting me. You are simply courting death.
In full view of the public, if you question your lord's decision-making and don't suppress you, how will you succeed in the future?
Even if you have great military exploits, you can't hold the Imperial Tower to the fire. Don't lose face this time and cry so that the whole city knows that you are scared. Only when the Imperial Tower has steps to get down can you pass the test.
Every time we pressed the bottom line of the imperial office to ask for benefits, we calculated it carefully. This time you got carried away and acted without permission. You deserve this disaster.
If you do something stupid next time, I will run away immediately and you can go mess around on your own from now on.
The relationship between you and me as monarch and minister is over, and we will never see each other again."
Sanada Nobushige shamelessly pulled Umino Riichi and said.
"Don't worry, Liu Niang, I will listen to you from now on and will never dare to do anything wrong."
Sarutobi Sasuke tugged at the corner of his mouth and subconsciously wanted to sneer and question her sincerity. But at this time, the Sanada people were facing a crisis and were on the verge of collapse. She thought it was inappropriate and endured it.
Umino Riichi stared at her coldly, and finally turned into a sigh. There was nothing he could do about this two-skinned man, he owed her everything in his previous life.
"Let's go and ask for mercy from the emperor."
———
In the meeting hall, Shiba Yoshigan left behind four people: Ohkuma Asahide, Ishida Mitsunari, Ozo Changan, and Ina Chuji.
In the past few days, he was considering that the Kanto Strategy would be temporarily transferred to internal affairs, and any new arrangements for the implementation would need to be discussed with the implementation group headed by Daxiong Chaohide.
Before the group of people started discussing the matter, Mr. Pu Sheng came into the room and saluted Yi Bank.
"At the Imperial Palace, Sanada Nobushige would like to see you."
Yoshigan snorted, not surprised that Sanada Nobunaga left and returned.
The purpose of this killing stick was to let the wild monkey in the mountains know pain and rules, and to deprive her of the ability to cause trouble.
The battle to go to Luo was imminent, and even a fool could see that Yoshigan was thinking about the peace of Kanto. Sanada Nobushige didn't know what was good or bad, and just relied on his own special characteristics and outstanding military achievements to make a move.
If Yoshiyin doesn't fuck her down, how can the Kanto Public Security Bureau take care of her if others follow her example?
Killing the chicken to show the monkey, in order to stick to the end, Yoshihiro will not show favor to Sanada Nobushige this time, he said calmly.
"Tell her to get lost."
Kamouso bowed and left. Not long after leaving, a sad howling was heard in the house.
"Please forgive me! Please forgive me! I know I was wrong! I beg you to have mercy on me and give me a way to survive. I beg you to have mercy!"
The concubines looked at Yiyin with strange expressions, and Yiyin also looked confused.
Does this wild monkey want to be ashamed? The Wu family in the Wanshi territory can call the outside world by their first names and call them "His Royal Highness". How much does it cost to have some face?
His voice was so loud that he lost all his skin. He was truly an anomaly among the samurai family who valued face and etiquette and would commit seppuku for the sake of dignity.
Just when everyone was hesitating, the cries outside the door became more and more pitiful. Those who didn't know better thought that a wild boar was being hunted outside the door.
Yiyin's forehead twitched and he shouted.
"Bama Shengji, tell her to get in here!"
Sanada Nobushige is shameless, but Yoshigan still wants it. In Numata Castle, not only the Kanto Shisho samurai family, but also the Uesugi retainers are present.
These howls were heard by the whole city. The Kanto servant could be laughed at by the Uesugi family all winter long, this careless fool!
The sliding door opened, and Sanada Nobushige crawled up to Yoshigan, fell to the ground and kowtowed with such force that Yoshigan's teeth ached.
Behind him, Umino Riichi still had a poker face. He walked silently to Sanada Nobushige, knelt down and saluted. As for Sarutobi Sasuke, he didn't follow him. I don't know if it was because he was too embarrassed.
Yiyin frowned and cursed.
"Stop! Are you trying to make a fool out of yourself? Your brain is no longer working well, and you are still torturing it like this. You are a fool!"
When Sanada Nobushige raised his head, his nose was full of tears and his whole face was blurred.
"I am guilty, but my crime is not worthy of death. When I think about going back and facing death, I am so frightened that I can't help but want to kowtow and beg for mercy."
Umino Riichi glanced at his master from the sidelines and had to give her a thumbs up in his heart.
Although this grandson has a lot of problems, one good thing is that he is really able to bend and stretch without any shame. People in the mountains are honest, so long as there are benefits, can the etiquette and face of the Wu family be used as food?
In public, all the concubines at the execution office looked at her shameless begging, and Yiyin also looked helpless.
Is this wild monkey trying to save her face by finding a way out? She thinks that he has reduced her military power because she lost face by being contradicted in public today?
Yiyin couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful. You have done something yourself and you know it in your heart.
I am just giving you a small punishment and a big warning, so that you will remember it for a long time. It is a good thing for the Wu family to be motivated, but if you are too ambitious, be careful to push yourself to death."
Yoshihiro realizes that he has done nothing wrong and adheres to the principle of never forgetting past mistakes and treating illnesses to save lives. He will not be fooled by Sanada Nobunaga's pitiful appearance.
Sanada Nobushige was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he looked carefully at Umino Riichi next to him.
Yiyin noticed her little move and sneered in his heart. Realizing that he couldn't handle it, he found a dog-headed military advisor?
Umino bowed and was about to speak, but was coldly interrupted by Yoshigan.
"Umino Riichi, I know that you are very resourceful. You have contributed a lot to Sanada Nobushige being able to get to where he is today.
But I want to remind you that as a subordinate, you should not only help your superiors with suggestions, but also prevent your superiors from misbehaving!
I think you should understand the principle of a snake swallowing an elephant when the human heart is not enough, right?"
