Yoshigami quickly pulled Uesugi Teruhora up and cursed.
"What are you doing! What if you smashed your brain!"
Fortunately, the tatami floor was soft, so although it was a big blow, it didn't cause any serious problems, except for a big red patch on my head.
Teruhora Uesugi grabbed Yoshigashi's hand to help him up and said affectionately.
"You treat me with deep love, but I embarrass you at every turn. It's really a bastard.
I don’t know how to express my guilt, so I can only kowtow on the ground and apologize to you.”
Yiyin took out a square handkerchief and wiped her forehead with a nervous look on his face.
"Are you asking for forgiveness? You want to scare me to death! How do you feel? Are you dizzy? Do you want a doctor to come over and take a look?"
Seeing his worried look, Teru Uesugi felt better for some reason and said with a smile.
"It's okay, I've always been strong-skinned, this little bruise is nothing."
Seeing that she seemed to be fine, Yiyin sat back down in his seat angrily and sighed.
"You know how to bully me."
Teruhora Uesugi came closer and sat forward, saying with a serious look on his face.
"You are right, I only care about my own happiness and never consider your difficulties.
The failure of the Guandong strategy this time is entirely my responsibility. You took care of me regardless of past grudges, but I only wanted to mess with you. You really deserve to die.
Now that the situation is serious, it is better not to make our affairs public for the time being. But you and I are already close to each other, and it would be too unfair for you to do so.
Every time I see you dealing with those Ji warriors, I feel uncomfortable when I think of the way they look at you.
You are so miserable."
Seeing her talking to him in such a low voice, Yiyin felt a little ashamed in his heart, and even felt hesitant and uneasy.
Uesugi Teruhora has a deep love for him. In the past few years, the two have fought side by side and trusted each other, and their relationship has become more and more mellow.
Back then, Teruhora Uesugi was interested in Yoshigoshi, and the system passively filled up her favorability level. Now, her feelings for Yoshigan have turned into sincerity, and are so strong that they cannot be let down.
This made Yiyin feel a little scared.
The young girl Terutora Uesugi succeeded to the throne, and she was brave and good at fighting. Over the years, she was decisive in killing and taking control of the Echigo Kingdom, becoming the most powerful ruler in Kanto.
But emotionally, she is extremely pure. Since her mother's death, she has closed off her personal emotions and focused on military strategy, killing everyone.
But in the past few years, she has made several concessions to Yiyin. She is extremely naive politically, which is equivalent to giving up half of her family business to Yiyin.
If one day she realizes that Yiyin never thought of marrying her, what will she think? Will her pure love turn into pure hatred?
Today, she is willing to share her family property for Yiyin. In the future, if she sees through Yiyin's mind, will she smash the family property to pieces and die together with Yiyin?
Yoshigan looked at Terutora Uesugi's pretty face sincerely apologizing, but he broke into a cold sweat behind his back.
No, it can't go on like this.
For now, the only way is to give her a child. Only the concern of a child, which is connected by blood, can completely eliminate her thoughts of possible failure in the future.
Yiyin sighed and said.
"Do you only say sorry to me?"
Uesugi Terutora was stunned, and just about to speak, his mouth was blocked by Yoshigage's lips and tongue.
Her eyes widened, feeling at a loss for Yiyin's hot and cold attitude, not knowing how to deal with it.
After Yiyin kissed her, he swept the tip of his tongue all the way across her cheek, lightly hooked her earlobe, and then blew into the ear hole and spoke.
"What's the use of saying sorry, you love me."
Uesugi Terutora's eyes instantly ignited with desire, and it was better to obey than to be respectful.
———
After the storm, the two sat facing each other again.
Yoshigan's expression was a little lazy, and Uesugi Teruhora looked at him with gentle eyes, like a cherished treasure, scanning his eyes, nose, mouth, neck, chest, and down.
The aggressive gaze made Yiyin feel uncomfortable. He looked up at the beam, thought for a while, and said.
"It turns out that Sano Masatsuna has committed suicide, and the Sano family has surrendered to you.
No wonder Utsunomiya, Satake and others have been sending envoys to me, hoping that I can understand their difficulties in joining forces to form the Oriental Crowd."
When Teruhora Uesugi saw Yoshigan talking about business, he also restrained his impudent eyes and spoke seriously.
"The Hojo family formed an alliance with me and recognized Ueno Country, Musashi Country Iwafu Territory and other places as my sphere of influence.
The Satomi family on the Boso Peninsula reacted the fastest and has already reached peace with the Hojo family. Of course, the samurai families in Shimono and Hitachi will be afraid.
They originally expected me to fight with the Hojo family and both sides would suffer, but they didn't expect that our two families would join forces one day. The purpose of forming the Oriental Crowd was to resist the encroachment of the Hojo family and I.
It's a pity that the Sano family surrendered and the Shimono Gate fell into my hands again. They were worried that I would raise an army to conquer Buchen.
Tsutado-den, you met with the Kanto general at Furukawa and received the imperial order for peace in Kanto. The people in the East regard this shield as a life-saving straw and will definitely show respect to you.
But don’t take their words too seriously. These local famous families can be traced back to before the Genpei War, and they were involved in the two shogunates of Kamakura and Ashikaga.
To be able to hold on to the family business until now must be that you know how to assess the situation and make profits for yourself. Just listen to their respect, it is not worth taking seriously."
When it comes to business, Uesugi Teruhora uses an honorific title for Yoshigan. It seems that she is really prepared to keep her promise, be her underground lover, and will not cause trouble for Yoshigan for the time being.
Seeing that she was obedient, Yiyin was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"As long as they recognize your status, recognize the dominance of the Kanto system over them, and are willing to act according to the rules."
The two samurai families of Shimono and Hitachi had been frightened and frightened because of the peace negotiations between Uesugi Teruhora and the Hojo clan, so they had no choice but to form the Oriental Army to protect themselves.
What Yoshigan is most worried about is that these local famous families will break away from the new Kanto system headed by Ashikaga Yoshiji and Uesugi Teruhora.
Now, the Sano Territory, which is the gateway to Shimono, has once again fallen into the control of Terutora Uesugi. The people of the East are unwilling to antagonize Shiba Uesugi, so each family sent messengers to find Yiyin Curve to persuade him, which is the best thing.
Yiyin hopes to boil the frog in warm water and use the soft knife of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to peacefully change the Kanbaju Samurai family. As long as these people recognize the new Kanto system and are willing to abide by the rules, they will not be able to overturn the world.
As the origin of the samurai family, the Kanto Plain has a complicated history. Even if we only talk about the Kanto system during the Ashikaga Shogunate period, it is a confusing account.
The Kanto generals and the Kanto governors had disliked each other for a long time. In addition, the Kyoto shogunate was wary of the Kanto general's history of rebellion, and had been instigating internal strife between the two sides.
The Kanto shogun moved to the Furukawa Territory, and the Kanto system can be roughly divided into east and west parts by the Tone River.
To the west are the three kingdoms of Ueno, Musashi, and Sagami, as well as the Izu and Kai kingdoms that are not part of the Kanto 8 states but are listed as the jurisdiction of the Kanto Ten Kingdoms.
In the east, there are five countries: Xiazong, Shangzong, Anfang, Hitachi, and Xianye.
When the four branches of the Uesugi family, led by the Kanto governor, were at their most prosperous, they once held the guardianship of Ueno Musashi, Sagami, Izu, Echigo and other countries. Even the Kanto generals had to avoid his influence.
Therefore, the Kanto generals came to Furukawa City to open a royal palace, competed with the Kanto administrators for Kanto hegemony, and have been wooing the local samurai families of the five eastern countries.
Most of the samurai families in the eastern part of Kanbashi had famous backgrounds during the Kamakura shogunate period, and the Kanto shogun gave them the honor within the Kanto system as a show of favor.
The most famous among them are the eight powerful samurai families who were successively allowed to use the Yakata name. These eight families are also known as the Kanto Hachiyakata, and their territories are mainly spread over the five eastern countries.
What happened later was beyond everyone's expectation. The Kanto General and the Kanto Governor merged and ended up taking advantage of the newly rising Hojo family.
The current Kanto shogun Ashikaga Yoshiji has a great reputation, but he can only stay in Furukawa Castle and be a good boy. He has neither the courage nor the strength to continue to torment.
The various lines of the Uesugi family were almost wiped out. The name of the Nagao family in Echigo Fu was replaced by Uesugi Teruhora, the name of the Nagao family in the Echigo Prefecture, to inherit the name of the Yamauchi Uesugi family and the governor of Kanto, which was somewhat of a fig leaf.
The Hojo family has long been eyeing the five eastern countries, and has been instigating local martial arts families to fight against famous families, and then looking for excuses to intervene and profit.
The Bosou Peninsula in the southeast has been fighting back and forth for many years. Finally, through this alliance between the Hojo and Uesugi families, the last breath of the Satomi family, the overlord of the peninsula, was shaken, and they were willing to bow their heads and make peace.
However, the samurai from Hitachi and Shimono were not convinced. Led by the four houses of Satake, Utsunomiya, Oyama, and Yuki, they formed the Oriental Army to protect themselves in the Northeast.
Yoshihiro doesn't care about the petty thoughts of these people. Starting from the Hojo family, all the grass-head kings of Guanbazhou, big and small, have ulterior motives.
What he wants is for everyone to recognize the current New Kanto system, so that he can suppress the local governments in the name of the central government and achieve great justice before he can use his methods.
he said.
"As long as the people of the East admit their mistakes, you can forgive them magnanimously.
In this way, I can send the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to their territory to help the local samurai restore production and restore centripetal force to the Kanto system."
Terutora Uesugi smiled.
"The Samurai Giri Promotion Association is really a useful knife. I am very satisfied that Sano Masatsuna died with his eyes open this time.
Let Dazang Chang'an work harder, wait until we have recuperated our strength and attack again, and see if the local warriors will eat the pots of pulp to meet the heavenly soldiers."
Yoshigan glanced at Terutora Uesugi. She, like the daimyo of Seki Hachishu, recognized the threat of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association.
However, their understanding is not enough.
For people who have suffered from poverty for generations, their views were shattered when they saw the lighthouse for the first time, which was enough to completely change the color of the grassroots in Guanbazhou.
Yoshigan thought for a while and did not continue to discuss this topic with Uesugi Teruator because even if he did, it would be difficult for Uesugi Teruto to understand.
If Yiyin had not witnessed the fanaticism of converts with shattered views in his previous life, he would not have believed that the power of yearning for the lighthouse could be so powerful.
The Wu family has had a strong desire for power since ancient times, and it may be even more fanatical than the lighthouse converts in the previous life, maybe.
Yiyin sighed.
"The imperial order for peace in Kanto has even affected the Ou area. Both the Osaki family and the Mogami family have sent people to show their respect and accept the imperial order."
Teruhora Uesugi laughed dumbly.
"General Kanto can't control the two countries of Ou and Yu, so why are these two families joining in the fun?"
Yiyin smiled bitterly.
"They wrote me a private message in the name of a family member of the Shiba family. They said that the Ou family was also troubled by the disaster, but they were suffering from the military aggression and did not give everyone a chance to recuperate."
Teru Uesugi frowned.
"Are they talking about that one-eyed girl Date Masamune?"
Yoshigami nodded, and Uesugi Teru sighed.
"These people are so shameless that they even took advantage of you. When you were down and out, why didn't they remember that they were from the Shiba clan?"
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The Ou region has always been a very marginalized region in the samurai politics of the island country.
Because of the lack of fuel in the Middle Ages, humans were unable to conquer areas that were too cold.
The Ou area seems to be vast, but in fact, the southern part is slightly better. Only the livestock industry is relatively developed in the northern part. Not much food can be grown in the frozen soil, and not many people can be fed.
Land and population are the core capital of a farming society. The Ou area is vast and sparsely populated, so naturally it cannot occupy a very important political position.
Only by waiting for the development of human productivity and gradually increasing the use of energy will it be possible to establish a foothold in colder zones, but that will be after the industrial age.
The Ashikaga Shogunate's control over the Ou area is also quite weak. At first, it was entrusted to the Kanto Shogun of Kamakura Prefecture to take care of it, and then it chose to send probes to check and balance the Kanto Shogun.
The position of Ou's question changed several times, and finally it fell on the descendants of the Shiba family.
After the Ou Shiba branch established its position, the eldest daughter's line and the second daughter's line inherited the Oshu Tentai and the Ushu Tentai respectively, that is, the ancestors of the Osaki family and the Mogami family.
The Ou area is too large, and the local county governor is very independent. The Date family is the local county governor who started from Date County.
When the Kanto Shogun rebelled, he not only went to Kyoto to fight, but also tentatively entered the Ou area.
As for the question of the Ou area, the Ashikaga shogun in Kyoto didn't really believe it either. He always used the balancing act that the Ashikaga family was best at, dividing and conquering.
The Date family seized the opportunity and quickly moved closer to the Ashikaga shogun. Generations of family governors, Kamiro, gained the trust of successive shoguns and were granted many powers.
The Date family continued to expand their influence through marriage, replacing the Osaki family and becoming the overlord of Oshu.
It's a pity that a civil strife interrupted the Date family's hegemony. Otherwise, the Date family might have unified the Ou area.
And this generation of Date family governor Masamune, relying on the good foundation laid by his grandmother and mother, once again ignited his ambition to conquer Ou.
She even caused her mother to be kidnapped to death because of her too drastic actions, offending many allies and relatives.
But even if surrounded by enemies on all sides, it would be difficult for the local daimyo of Ou to defeat the powerful Date family through their own strength.
Only then did the Osaki family and the Mogami family cast their eyes southward, remembering that Yoshigan Shiba, the legitimate son of the clan, had come to express his goodwill.
Yoshigan and Terutora Uesugi were no strangers to the Ou incident. When the Shimotsu Shinbada Rebellion began, it was the Ashina family and the Date family from Oshu who coveted the Shimotsu land and had a hand in it.
It was a pity that the governor of the Ashina family was killed, cutting off the foreign aid of the Xinfa Tian family. Yoshiyin was able to quickly put down the Xia Yue rebellion, which was considered a help from God.
