Umino Ri glanced at the pitiful Sanada Nobushige beside him, and did not take Shiba Yoshigan's warning seriously.
This bastard master is thinking about how to get into Shiba Yoshigan's bed. For this purpose, he dares to try anything. How can Umino Riichi persuade him?
Sanada Nobushige brought Umino Riichi out of the mountains, took off his clothes and pushed him to eat, and obeyed his words. He pulled the Umino family, who was on the verge of extinction, back from the abyss, and gave him enough benefits.
Umino Riichi looked at the holy Odaisho in front of him, and the tip of his tongue felt bitter. Sanada Nobunaga treated him as a national scholar, and she could only repay him with death.
Even if the target of this stupid boss is the chastity of Odaisho, Umino Riichi has no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany his wife. She is so helpless when a scholar dies for a confidant.
Yoshigan asked her to persuade Sanada Nobushige, how to persuade her? To persuade her to change to a chicken?
As soon as Umino regained his composure and returned to his usual indifference, he bowed and said.
"Umino Riichi must bear in mind the warning of the emperor. However, my master is indeed guilty of a crime that does not lead to death. He comes from a mountainous background, is not familiar with etiquette, and behaves in an unruly manner.
But she is truly loyal to the Imperial Palace, and everything she does is for you."
What Umino Riichi said is true.
Sanada Nobushige was indeed loyal to Yoshigashi Shiba, and everything he did was for Yoshigan Shiba... to get into his bed and fuck other people.
Of course, Shiba Yoshigan didn't know whether Umino Riichi's cold-faced complaints were real or fake, he was just a little confused.
Sanada Nobunshige and Umino Riichi successively emphasized that crimes do not lead to death. He was just depriving the Sanada people of their military establishment and transferring them to local places. Sanada Nobunshige raised his own soldiers, so how could he die?
From the time he was angry and deprived until now, Yiyin has not had time to come back to his senses and think carefully. Now that he was reminded twice, he calmed down and began to wonder whether his punishment had missed any key.
As everyone watched with cold eyes, Daxiong Chaoxiu seemed to understand, but it was not convenient for her to interrupt, so she just sat back and watched.
The Kanto Service Office was deeply involved in the Hokurikudo trade route, the Naoji Customs Service, the Second Public Tax Return, and water conservancy construction. Okuma Chaohide's power was not small, and he lived a very prosperous life.
For a wealthy and wealthy institution, Sanada's annual expenditure of 1,200 koku is just a small thing.
But this burden fell on Sanada Nobushige, who only had a territory of more than 10,000 koku, and it would be fatal.
There are four citizens and six citizens, and the annual land output of the territory does not exceed 5,000 koku. Her territory is in the mountains of Hokushin and Nishi Ueno. The land is barren, the plains are sparse, and there is almost no additional income.
Relying only on the land income of 5,000 koku, Sanada Nobushige's life was not easy, not to mention that he had to support one hundred samurai warriors in Sanada's army.
She was able to maintain a huge military force that far exceeded her own economic strength because she relied on poaching the corners of the Kanto Palace.
Okuma Asahide probably understood what the problem was, and Yoshigan Shiba, who was in charge, also had some reaction and asked Umino Riichi.
"You are very sharp-tongued, so tell me why she died?
In less than two years, I rewarded her with the gift of Songshiro, my wife and I, and the Andu territory of more than 10,000 dan. Do you think I have harmed her?
If you can't afford to raise so many soldiers, don't raise them! Eat as much cake as your mouth has. You must know how to be content as a human being!"
Yoshihiro's idea is very simple. Don't you Sanada Nobushige want to cause trouble? I won't let you do it!
The territory of more than 10,000 koku could not support two reserve troops and one hundred Sanada soldiers. In order to maintain balance, Sanada Nobushige was forced to reduce the army.
Without the support of the army, this wild monkey naturally would not have the confidence to provoke Nagano Yamasa, and Yoshihiro's goal was achieved.
Umino Riichi felt clear in her heart, she bowed and said.
"The imperial office has misunderstood my master. Although she is naughty, she is really sincere and loyal to the imperial office.
The strategy against Nagano Yamasa was all done by me, and it was all my plan. If the emperor is displeased with anything, I will commit suicide and apologize, so as not to implicate my master."
As soon as Umino Ri opened his mouth, he wanted to clear up Shiba Yoshigan's accusations against Sanada Nobunaga. The bad things were all my idea. Sanada Nobunaga just accepted advice. She is a good person.
Shiba Yiyin sneered.
"Okay, then why are you provoking Nagano Imasa? Give me an explanation. If it's not right, I'll help you find someone to commit seppuku."
Sanada Nobushige looked at Umino Riichi nervously, but Umino Riichi said calmly.
"Everyone on the throne does not know that there is a raging undercurrent in the West Ueno area, and my master is worried about it. I share your worries and make suggestions, just to prevent the Kanto Palace from falling into a passive position.
Obata Nobusada went to Toshin to ask the Takeda family to intervene in the situation in Nishi Ueno. Fortunately, the master noticed it and through his grandmother Yukitaka Sanada, he tried to win back Obata Nobusada.
And Nagano Industry was taking advantage of the Kanto chaos in autumn and winter to capture Kunamine Castle and Hirai Castle in one fell swoop.
Hirai Castle is an important town for Nishi Ueno to enter the Musashi Mountains. The Hojo family has secretly contacted Nagano Yamasa, hoping to gain her friendship.
The Lord was worried that the Minawa clan's domination of Nishi Ueno would worsen the situation, so he tried his best to intimidate Nagano Yasumasa and work hard for the stability of Kanto Province, the headquarters of the Kanto Minister."
Umino kept his expression straight and talked nonsense and alarmism. Yoshigan frowned when he heard this, but he actually believed it.
To the west of Nishi Ueno is Toshin, and to the south is Nishimusashi. The mountain line is continuous, making it a battleground for military strategists that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It is entirely possible that the Takeda family and the Hojo family covet Nishi Ueno. The Shino clan has a wide network of contacts in the mountains, so it is not surprising that they got some gossip.
Ever since Takeda Harunobu took over Suruga Kingdom, he strangely had to return to Kai and made no big moves. The lords from all over the world are speculating whether the Tiger of Kai has any deep meaning in ambush.
Umino Riichi said that the Takeda family intended to get involved in Nishi Ueno, and Yoshigan Shiba had to guard against this.
As for the Hojo family, after the defeat of the Sano family in the battle, Hirai Castle in the hands of the Hojo family was captured by Nagano Yasumasa in chaos.
The mountainous areas of Nishi Ueno, Nishi Musashi, and northern Sagami are connected together, and it is a large area of mountainous hills extending from the Shinano Mountains to the Kanto Mountains.
Hirai Castle was originally the former residence of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi. It is located at the intersection of the Ueno Musashi Mountains and Plains, and its location is extremely important.
After the Echigo army returned north, Hojo Uyasu regained his composure, began to pay attention to the threats in the direction of Hirai Castle, and attracted Nagano Yasumasa. This is very reasonable.
In the land of Nishi Ueno, there are threats from the outside from two directions, including the Takeda and Hojo families. Internally, the Nagano Yasumasa family is the dominant one. She is likely to collude with these two big names to raise prices and inflate herself.
From this point of view, Sanada Nobushige's series of actions towards Nagano Yoshimasa were indeed out of loyalty and responsibility. It's just that this wild monkey has a frivolous attitude. Why can't he talk to his master properly?
Yoshigan's expression softened somewhat, but Sanada Nobunshige lowered his head and sweated.
She knew in her heart that Umino Riichi had a serious face and was full of lies, without telling the truth.
Yiyin said.
"Even if there is a hidden danger in Nishi Ueno, Sanada Nobushige should report it to me truthfully. What does it mean to take matters into his own hands?
Also, when you feel a little wronged, you yell about how the crime will not lead to death. What? I can’t unjustly accuse her anymore?”
As soon as Umino Ri heard Yoshigage's tone slow down, he knew that he believed his lie and said.
"Otai Suo, my lord and I are not exaggerating. Your punishment today will indeed cost her life.
The Sanada family is just a branch of the Umino family, and it is not a large family with absolute appeal among the three Shino clans. And the head of my family is young and frivolous, and cannot convince others.
The reason why my lord is able to lead the concubines among the Shiye Tribe and suppress the concubines in Azuma County is because of your majesty and grace.
The Sanada people were born in the mountains, many of them were poor and poor, and they didn't know etiquette and dignity. They submitted to my master just so that they could have enough to eat.
Now you punish the Lord in public, causing her favor to disappear. You have also deprived the Sanada people of their imperial status, so they cannot buy their military morale with generous salary.
Once this news is spread back to the Shiye clan, how can those wild people in the mountains understand that thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from the king?
They will only think that my master no longer has the qualifications to lead them. Azuma County, which has just been stabilized, will inevitably be in turmoil again.
My master is very loyal to the imperial office, how can I let these people rebel against you and destroy your plan to stabilize Kanto?
Even if we don't have enough troops, we can only repay your kindness by dying in battle. Isn't this a dead end?
On the royal platform, I humble myself and risk my life to make a speech.
My wife's county has been established for the first time, but the people's hearts are not yet attached, so female soldiers are indispensable to suppress it. Although my master has made mistakes, his crimes will not lead to death."
Yoshigan was stunned on the spot, and was distorted by Umino Ri's words, as if he really forced Sanada Nobunaga to die.
Umino Riichi repeatedly emphasized that Sanada Nobushige was loyal, and as long as Shiba Yoshigan recognized this loyalty, he would admit that the crime they repeatedly mentioned did not lead to death.
Nishijono was facing internal and external troubles, and there was no good person. Only the loyal Sanada Nobushige was worried and took the initiative to prepare for the rainy day and make arrangements in advance for Shiba Yiyin.
If such good subordinates are forced to die, then Azuma County will completely turn into a quagmire. The efforts of the Kanto Sheriff to win over the Shino clan will all be ruined in one day.
Sanada Nobushige was astonished when he heard it. Umino Riichi's ability to talk nonsense seriously was really impressive. Sanmu girl has a good way of deceiving people.
Shiba Yiyin was also deceived by her, and felt uneasy, reflecting on whether he was really wrong?
Nagano Yamasa was originally a thorn stuck in his flesh, but it was temporarily inconvenient to remove, so he endured it.
If he punished Nobunaga Sanada too harshly, the situation in Azuma County would collapse. Not only would the Kanto Shrine lose the best way to enter Kanhachishu, but Nagano Yamasa would also be able to do things without any scruples.
Yoshigan was already moved by Umino Riichi, but he just got so angry at the review that he made Sanada Nobushige cry bitterly.
If he admits that he made a mistake now and restores the Sanada clan's status as an imperial guard, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Seeing Sibo Yiyin's uncertain expression, Big Bear on the side bowed to Chao Xiu and said.
"Otai Suo, I have something to say. I wonder if I should say it?"
Yiyin looked at her and said.
"But it doesn't matter."
Da Xiong said solemnly to Chao Xiu.
"Sanada-sama is sitting on one side, and the Sanada people are her warriors serving under her command. It is really inappropriate to count them among the imperial staff.
The imperial office separated the Sanada members from the imperial establishment, which was a wise move to straighten out the standards.
However, I feel that the stability of Azuma County is related to the influence of Kanto Shi's headquarters in the eight states. The situation is special, and it is too heavy for Sanada-sama to shoulder this responsibility.
I have a suggestion, and I would like to ask the imperial office to allow the administrative office to allocate additional funds to share military expenses for Azuma County as a special treatment.
A monthly payment of one hundred shi of brown rice and an annual payment of 1,200 shi are enough to support the practice."
Daxiong Chaoxiu is a good person, find a way out for Sibo Yiyin.
The imperial office cannot make mistakes, and the imperial orders issued are like spit and nails and cannot be changed.
However, the special situation of Azuma County requires special treatment. Sanada's twenty koku of white rice is replaced by one hundred koku of brown rice every month. The market price is converted to one to five, which means there is no change.
Although they no longer have the identity of a royal person, do the Sanada clan care? They only care that the die-hard banker cannot fail. It doesn't matter if the situation changes, as long as the food is distributed.
The face of the Odaisho was saved, and Sanada Nobushige's life was saved, and everyone was happy.
Yiyin nodded and glanced at Daxiong Chaoxiu with approval. He was even more pleased to see that she had a solemn look on her face and did not ask for credit.
Choosing to protect Okuma Asahide was the most proud thing that Yoshigan did in Echigo. This man was really capable and knew how to behave, which saved him a lot of worry.
Yoshigan turned his gaze to Nobushige Sanada, who looked expectant, and felt a little guilty in his heart.
He really wanted to find a chance to teach this disturbing wild monkey a lesson, but it seemed that he couldn't do it this time.
———
Sanada Nobushige and Umino Riichi came out of the meeting hall, and Sarutobi Sasuke on the side quickly came up and asked.
"How about it?"
Sanada Nobushige smiled and wiped his face with a square handkerchief and said.
"Of course it's done. With a master as wise and powerful as me, there's no obstacle that can't be overcome.
The monastery will give me a special allowance of 100 kilograms of brown rice every month, so the food for the sisters is guaranteed."
Seeing that Sanada Nobunshige was starting to get angry again, Umino glanced at her, frightening her and saying flatteringly.
"Of course, the main reason is that Liu Niang is eloquent and worthy of being my great military advisor."
Umino Riichi was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly.
"The Imperial Office will definitely send a military team to investigate afterwards. The lies I told must be rounded off and no one can find out the problem.
It's easy to say to the Takeda family that Obata Nobuzada originally wanted to take refuge, but he was dissuaded by Yukitaka Sanada and no problem could be found.
The problem lies with the Hojo family, and Nagano Yasumasa must have contact with Hojo Ujiyasu for our provocative actions to be justified."
Sanada Nobushige couldn't help but nodded.
"Yeah."
Then, the two of them looked at Sarutobi Sasuke, making her scalp tingle, and said.
"Trick me again? One moment you asked me to go to Kirigakure Saizo's place to get information, and the next moment you asked me to forge information to her. Do you think I didn't die fast enough?"
Sanada Nobushige held her hand with both hands, looking sincere.
"Sasuke, this is the request of my life."
Sarutobi Sasuke couldn't help but want to complain, the last time you said this, Odai was being wheeled around in the room.
She closed her mouth tightly, fearing that she would say any disrespectful words, and finally it turned into a sigh.
"I really owed you something in my previous life. I know it, so Kirigakure hid me and took care of it."
