Life is about making choices, and no one can escape the fate he chooses. Oda Nobunaga will pay the price for his violence, and Yoshihiro Shiba will repay his debt for abusing the green tea technique.
In recent days, Oda Nobunaga is brewing a new storm. In Kanto, Yoshihiro Saba, who is exhausted by a political turmoil at home due to the expansion of corruption, has to deal with many affairs.
After the inspection to the countryside was successfully completed, the Wu Family Giri Promotion Association quickly followed up and vigorously constructed water conservancy projects in the villages in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River.
The Brotherhood is also constantly spreading the new ideas of the Shiba family to the outside world through friendship, which resonates with countless husbands of the martial arts.
And these husbands, in turn, passed this thought on to their wives. The peace of mind of the Kanto people, which had been in turmoil for more than a hundred years, was in line with their own interests.
Continuous wars are constantly wiping out the old martial arts families. The new upstarts who emerge in the war may not have prominent ancestors and backgrounds, but they gradually squeeze out the living space of the traditional martial arts families.
In order to fight wars, the daimyo of various countries constantly tried new policies, centralized power, and gradually moved towards the transformation of daimyo during the Warring States Period. All these changes were based on the harm to the interests of traditional samurai families.
When he is unable to gain benefits from the war, but may put the family business into catastrophe and the family name disappear, even the most bellicose Ji warrior begins to feel disgusted with the status quo.
Sibo Yiyin shouted that the world of the Wu family needs peace, and the Wu family can no longer fight against each other, otherwise they will be replaced by civilians, which is deafening and enlightening.
The Wujia Yili Promotion Association took the first step with action. Under the deliberate request of Dazang Changan, the first batch of eight thousand stone investment started from the parts that can make the most achievements.
With the overall planning of water conservancy expert Ina Chuji, the first batch of construction results were immediate.
Although each village was not allocated much funds, the changes visible to the naked eye inspired the spirit of the local warrior families and allowed them to actively participate in the plan to borrow money to repair water conservancy projects.
Under the organization of Shiba Yoshigan, more than 200 villages submitted a letter to the Kanto General Ashikaga Yoshiji, issuing an imperial order for peace in Kanto in the face of the great disaster, and handed it over to the supervision of Shiba Yoshigan.
With this imperial order and the guarantee of Shiba Yiyin, samurai families, temples, and businessmen with capital joined the loan plan one after another, and a large amount of money flowed into the villages in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River like water.
Water conservancy facilities that have not been repaired for many years can produce unexpected results with only a small amount of money. Everyone is looking forward to next year's harvest.
Yoshigan's actions to benefit the samurai family in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River from a moral perspective also put great political pressure on the great names of Kanto.
On the one hand, Shiba Yoshigan has gained the great cause of peace in Kanto, and all the famous samurai who intend to start a war have a sword of Damocles hanging on their heads.
The imperial order of the Kanto shogun may be a piece of papyrus that no one cares about, but when Yoshigan Shiba, the invincible Ashikaga military god, picks up this piece of papyrus, it is the divine sword that can cut off the family fortune.
No one dared to be the one who violated the imperial order and was besieged by the awe-inspiring Shiba Yiyin who called on the entire Guanbazhou martial arts family.
On the other hand, there has been a severe drought in Kanto for two consecutive years, and there is a high probability that it will not get better next year. The territories of each family are already devastated, and the middle and lower classes of the Wu family are very resentful.
The Samurai Giri Promotion Association, with the support of Shiba Yiyin, is throwing money at the Samurai clan in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River. Aren't others jealous?
Why is it that only those bastards in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River benefit from the new ideas of the Wu family and the shared destiny of the Wu family? We can also be patriotic!
The Samurai Giri Promotion Association, which was originally founded by Shiba Yiyin without authorization, has somehow become a public welfare organization recognized by the Samurai clan everywhere.
Daimyos in various places were also forced to negotiate with the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to introduce water conservancy construction, travel aid and other samurai assistance to their territories, which was like inviting a wolf into the house.
But who made Spo Yiyin rich?
On one side is the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, which is backed by the Hokuriku Road trade route and has a steady flow of funds. On the other side is the local daimyo finance, which has been tortured by two years of drought and is dying. This is incomparable.
If you have money, you can really do whatever you want.
Just like Buffett owns an insurance company, the steady stream of premiums can help him continue to buy good stocks that he likes at the bottom, regardless of the decline, and retail investors who learn Buffett's way have a p.
The gap between people can sometimes be wider than that between people and dogs.
Unable to break the situation through force, the Kanto daimyo could only be crushed by Yoshigashi Shiba's infinite silver bullet offensive.
Under pressure from the middle and lower classes, more and more daimyo were forced to accept the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, allowing them to enter and exit the territory to engage in public welfare activities.
Therefore, Siba Yiyin, who was in Dahu City, had to face envoys from various places and repeatedly speak useless polite words.
Although the process was boring, Spo Yiyin's influence became more and more powerful.
This time is different from last year's Kanto strategy. He is no longer involved in the situation in Kanto as an envoy of the shogunate.
Instead, there is a public welfare organization called the Wu Family Ethics Promotion Association. In the name of the Wu family's aid and in the name of supervising the implementation of peace in Kanto, it intervenes in and arbitrates all matters in the eight states of Kanto.
The Samurai Giri Promotion Association was established with funding from Shiba Yiyin. It is called an unofficial organization and its purpose is to assist the Samurai family's public welfare institutions. This new thing made famous people all over the country feel disgusted.
Behind the seemingly beautiful concept, the Wujia Yili Promotion Association is instilling the new ideas of the Wujia in Sibo Yiyin to the Wu family heirs, infiltrating grassroots villages in the name of water conservancy construction, and confusing people.
Although the famous names of the Wu family did not understand what Yan*ge* was, their keen intuition as powerful people made them subconsciously feel uneasy.
Sibo Yiyin is limiting their power in ways they are unfamiliar with, and may even subvert their rule in the future.
But at this time, in the face of the severe drought in Kanto with no end in sight, and the gold and dollar stick of the Hokuriku Road trade route, the daimyo had no choice.
They had to be coerced by the middle and lower class Wu family and were forced to accept assistance from the Wu family moral promotion association. This situation was really too bad.
———
Dahu City, in the inner courtyard of the residence.
In front of the documents, I spent a whole day with the envoys and documents from various places, and dragged my tired body back to the inner courtyard.
Shima Shengmu's Hime Samurai has already withdrawn from the residence, and now it is handed over to Shiba and his colleagues to guard it.
As soon as he entered the threshold of the inner courtyard, the strange-looking Kamao clan in front of him quickly stepped forward, bowed to him, and whispered.
"Tsuda-dono, Uesugi-dono is here."
Yiyin asked in surprise.
"Why is she here? Where is she?"
Pu Shengshixiang frowned.
"It is said that he came from Numata Castle with the Konoe Hatamoto Kuaima and entered Dahu Castle just now.
The defenders of Dahu City did not dare to stop you, His Highness Uesugi came straight here and is waiting for you in the side room in front."
Yiyin said angrily.
"The dignified Kanto governor, with hundreds of thousands of stone daimyo, running around in the middle of winter.
What kind of trouble would it cause if we lost our way in the snow or were attacked by rogue gangsters?"
He complained and walked towards the side room. Suddenly, he froze and asked.
"Does Shima Katsuki know about this?"
Pu Shengshixiang shook his head and said.
"I don't know. I think the city gate guards don't dare to hide it from Mr. Dao."
Yiyin stamped his foot and cursed.
"Nonsense!"
He deliberately sidetracked Uesugi Teruhora, Shima Shengmeng, and Yamazaka Yukimori because of his guilty conscience. This time when he returned to Kanto, he had a great time having sex, but in hindsight, it was too much.
Yoshihiro couldn't help complaining, why did Uesugi Terutora come here? If Shima Shengmeng saw the clues, it would be another trouble. Isn't this just looking for trouble?
Yi Gin quickly walked into the side room. Behind him, the loyal Kamao clan had transferred all the concubine warriors away, and he was guarding the perimeter.
As soon as he walked into the side room, a gust of fragrant wind rushed towards him. Teruhora Uesugi was small in stature but strong in strength. He threw Yoshigoshi to the ground.
She smiled and looked at Yiyin who fell to the ground feeling dizzy and said.
"You didn't expect me to come over, did you?"
Yiyin said coldly.
"You're holding me down."
Terutora Uesugi was stunned for a moment, and then he got off Yoshigin, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart. The two of them were mixing oil with the honey of Sanfeng Mountain, and they were like glue. Why are they so different now?
Yiyin asked.
"How did you come?"
Uesugi Teruhu asked rhetorically.
"You don't want to see me?"
Yiyin was dumbfounded. Although he nodded in his heart, he shook his head repeatedly and said.
"I'm worried about you. You're running around in the winter. What if something happens? You have to pay attention to your safety.
Besides, this is Dahu City, if you barge in at will, it will not look good on Dao Shengmeng."
Terutora Uesugi snorted and said.
"I understand, this is the Kanto Spur Territory, it's not a place for me to wander in."
Yiyin smiled bitterly.
"You know, that's not what I meant."
It was the time when Terutora Uesugi was deeply in love and couldn't part with her. Dahu Castle was far or near from Numata Castle. She couldn't bear to miss him for a moment, so she sent him to her door.
Who knew that as soon as Yiyin saw her, he would pour a basin of cold water on her, making her unable to help but feel depressed.
Teruhora Uesugi curled his lips and said.
"I came here because of something urgent. I will pay attention to it next time."
Uesugi Teruhora was somewhat aware of Shima Katsuo's thoughts. Yoshie Bank was extremely glamorous, and his subordinates had many toads who wanted to eat swan meat. Uesugi Teruhora prided himself on his different status and was too lazy to care about it.
Yiyin saw that she was soft-spoken and could not say anything more to her, so he took advantage of the situation and asked.
"What happened?"
Seeing Yoshigin's eyes on his face, Uesugi Teruhora felt his face get hot and his heart trembled. He couldn't control his little hand and put it on Yoshigan's thigh.
Yoshigami glanced at him and endured silence, waiting for Uesugi Terutora to speak.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, Uesugi Teruhu's mind became even more passionate, and his hands began to move upwards.
Yiyin grabbed her mischievous little hand and cursed helplessly.
"You have something to talk about, why do you use your hands and feet!"
Seeing the beauty's angry expression, Uesugi Teru laughed and said.
"Sano Masatsuna is dead."
Yiyin's heart was shaken and his hands relaxed.
"What?"
Uesugi Teruhu doesn't care about so many things. The lover he misses all the time is right in front of him. If he doesn't sleep now, when will he wait?
She lowered her head and spoke quickly.
Before Yoshigan could recover from the news of Sano Masatsuna's death, he realized that something was wrong. Just as he was about to struggle, his body went limp.
With Uesugi Teru's power of words, Yoshihiro accidentally lost his armor. These days, he is busy with government affairs, and he is not even allowed to get close to Shima Shengmeng. He has been recharging his energy so far, but he has taken advantage of Uesugi Teru.
Samurai Hime's strength is much greater than that of Yoshigan, and Terutora Uesugi is a gifted war child. His seemingly petite body contains a powerful force that Yoshigan cannot resist.
Even if she doesn't obey the rules at this time, Yiyin can't use a cheat to kill her, right? He can only rely on his own strength to resist.
Uesugi Teruhora didn't know Yoshigage's difficulties. In her opinion, Yoshigage was a peerless warrior, so how could he be unable to push her away? It must be a game where a man loves a concubine and refuses to welcome her.
Yiyin was in trouble and couldn't express it. After struggling for a few times, he had no choice but to give up. He sighed and asked.
"How did Sano Masatsuna die?"
Uesugi Teruhu turned over and answered smoothly.
"She committed seppuku. The Sano family's apology document and her head were sent to Numata Castle. Her daughter Sano Munetsuna begged my forgiveness and hoped that I would let her succeed the family governor and continue the Sano family business."
Yiyin raised his eyebrows and began to think, not even caring about the bursts of pleasure.
"Is the Sano family so knowledgeable?"
Teruhora Uesugi was in a good mood at this time, with a good harvest in career and love, and he said as he was leaping about.
"So what if you don't know?
Dazang Changan distributed the Tone River water conservancy diversion plan everywhere, making everyone aware of it.
This wave of water conservancy construction in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River is in full swing. The samurai families from all over the country who will benefit from the plan are excited about it and are looking forward to it.
Sano Masatsuna's fate is not good, and Sano's leadership position is too embarrassing. Based on the relationship between you and me, if Sano Masatsuna doesn't die soon, his whole family will be killed sooner or later."
Speaking of these five words about our relationship, Uesugi Teruhu felt happy.
Sano's expedition was blocked by Yoshigan, but the Sano family had to force the family governor to death. Even the inheritance of the family business required Uesugi Teruhora's permission, which shows the great pressure.
The Watarase River and Kinugawa River, which are branches of the Tone River, both originate from the Ashio Mountains in the northern part of Shimono Province.
The Watarase River in the west starts from Ashikaga Castle in the Nagao area, and the Kinugawa River in the east is within the sphere of influence of the Utsunomiya family. Between the two rivers lies the Sano Territory.
Nagao, the chief of Ashikaga Castle, is now a loyal minister of Terutora Uesugi, and the Utsunomiya family has been coveting the Sano family's territory.
But compared to the floods in the middle and lower reaches caused by the overflow of the Tone River, the biggest disaster in Kanhachishu now is actually drought.
As the saying goes, drought will lead to drought, and flood will lead to waterlogging.
How did the two samurai families of Shimono and Hitachi, who were trapped by the drought, feel when they saw that the diversion project would pass through their territory?
The Tone River has abundant water conservancy. If the diversion is successful, one's own fields will be irrigated with a never-ending water source. This benefit has made many people red-eyed.
Nowadays, with the Imperial Order of Peace in Kanto hanging over our heads, fighting and killing is absolutely out of the question.
However, Sano Masatsuna betrayed his trust and dared to betray the noble Kanto governor. This was a great injustice. Such madmen should not be protected by imperial orders.
What's more, due to Echigo's dual-headed politics, Saba Uesugi was unanimous in his foreign policy. Everyone supported Uesugi Teruhora's spontaneous crusade against rebellion. Yoshigan Saba, who was supervising the peace in Kanto, was too embarrassed to stop it, right?
As the water conservancy construction in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River got on track, Sano Masatsuna's pressure became increasing.
No, even though she hadn't survived the winter, she was forced to apologize, and her head was sent to Numata Castle in person as her daughter. The Sano family begged to continue being Sugi Teruotora's dog to avoid ruining the family business.
Uesugi Teruhora was able to defeat the enemy without fighting. No wonder she was in a happy mood and came to Dahu City to tell Yiyin the good news and relieve her lovesickness.
Just when Yi Gin was thinking, the voice of Kamao Clan sounded outside.
"Master Shima! You can't go in! The two lords are discussing something!"
"Pu Shengji, please step aside, I have something urgent to report!"
The muscles of the two people in the room instantly stiffened. Yiyin couldn't help but take a breath of air and leaned against each other, tightly.
It was the first time for Uesugi Teruhu to encounter such a thing, so he was inevitably a little nervous, but Yoshigan had a feeling of déjà vu.
