Honjo Minoru and Naoe Keizuna looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. For some reason, the master was full of ill will towards Takeda Shingen and could not persuade him no matter what.
Naoe Keizuna said.
"If Lord Shima Katsumao and Lord Yamanaka Yukisho are willing to support it, this matter is indeed feasible."
She said this, but she actually didn't agree with it in her heart. I really thought the same thing.
Yishiro Shiba, Yukimori Yamazaka, and Chaohide Ohuma entrusted them with important responsibilities and promoted them to permanent senior officers of the Standing Council of the Kanto Palace.
If these three people oppose together, they can veto any affairs of the Kanto Palace. The power of the veto authority shows that Yoshihiro Shiba has great trust in them.
In particular, Shima Katsuruo and Yamanaka Yukimori, both of whom were brought by Yoshigage from Koki, would disobey Yoshigashi Shiba and go crazy with Uesugi Teruhora?
The Standing Council has just been established, and the power has not yet been firmly grasped. These two people are going to mess around. What do Sibo Yiyin think? Do they think this power is too big and too hot, so they don't plan to take it?
Honjo Minoru knew that he could not persuade Uesugi Teruhora, so he simply used the Kanto Palace Standing Committee as a shield.
Unexpectedly, Teruhora Uesugi decisively said that he could handle Shima Katsuruo and Yamanaka Yukimori. Naoe Keizuna followed suit and nailed this statement.
As long as Terutora Uesugi can't deal with Shima Katsume and Yamanaka Yukimori, Honjo Minoru and Naoe Keizuna will have reason to oppose her crusade against Takeda.
Anyway, it was Uesugi Teruhora who said it himself. It was not that the retainers group intended to disobey the family governor. Honjo Minoru and Naoe Keizuna were also happy to see this.
Terutora Uesugi smiled at them, which made them a little uneasy. The master seemed to have a chance to win. Could it be that Shima Katsume and Yamanaka Yukimori would really support the crusade against Takeda? It makes no sense!
Little did they know that Terutora Uesugi held a trump card in his hand, which was enough to make Shima Katsuo and Yamanaka Yukimori explode in an instant.
Terutora Uesugi had long sensed that the two men had bad intentions towards Shiba Yoshigan, but this time, this bad intention could be put to use.
The three monarchs and ministers had their own concerns, and the atmosphere gradually became deserted. It seemed that they had nothing to say and could only let the facts speak for themselves.
———
At this time, Yoshigan, who had arrived at Oda Castle in Hitachi Province, didn't know yet that his second child had been gestated in Uesugi Teruhora's body.
He was wandering alone in the world of female lords, a lonely soul that had been wandering for twenty years, and was about to welcome another little life connected to his own blood.
But this time, the child's mother still chose to hide it, and even wanted to kill his first child and the child's mother.
Even though Shiba Yiyin, who has already deeply felt the cruelty of the Wu family society, what will he do when he discovers this reality?
The gears of fate kept moving forward. At this time, he was still moving forward in ignorance until the day of showdown came.
Hitachi Kingdom is a territorial state at the northeastern end of the Kanto Plain, with a stone height of 540,000. It is connected to the Ou area in the north and has been the bridgehead for the Kanto samurai to conquer Ou since ancient times.
The east coast faces the Pacific Ocean, and the Bagou Mountains and Shimono Province are bounded to the west. Kasumigaura in the country is the second largest lake in the island country after Lake Biwa in Omi Province.
In the south, the Hitachi Platform is connected to the Shimoso Platform. The continuous plains are rich and prosperous, and farming and fisheries are very developed.
Oda Castle is located in the southernmost part of the Bagou Mountains, with mountains at its back, endless plains in front of it, and the product-rich Kasumigaura to the east. The geographical location is very advantageous.
The Oda family is one of the eight houses in the Kanto area, and our ancestors were once wider, so they could occupy this fertile land.
Oda Ujiharu's mother followed the Kanto Shogun, and that was the heyday of the Oda family. Unfortunately, his mother participated in the Battle of Kawagoe in his later years.
In the Battle of Kawagoe, the Hojo family succeeded in a night attack, defeating the Kanto Allied Forces in one fell swoop and overturning the Kanto structure in which Shogun Ashikaga and the Ryo Uesugi were competing for hegemony.
The Oda family, which followed General Kanto, also suffered heavy losses in this battle. The mother of the Oda family died in depression, and the Oda family turned from prosperity to decline.
The location of Oda Castle is too important, and all the famous warriors around it are eyeing it.
Odajiji moved around during these years, trying hard to maintain the family business, but he could not withstand waves of malice, and eventually made enemies everywhere.
This time, the Shimono Utsunomiya family, the Hitachi Satake family, and even the Makabe family, the former retainers who had deserted the Oda family, wrote a letter to Uesugi Teruhora, saying that the Oda clan had colluded with Hojo and had evil intentions.
Oda Ujiharu was scared to death. The Oda family had fought with the Hojo family at first, but in the end they chose to join the Hojo family. It was really no choice.
The samurai lords around him have no good intentions towards his family, but the distant Hojo family can help him. Does Oda Jiji have any other choice?
As a last resort, she sent a letter to the Kanto Palace to apply to join the United Front Army, hoping to seek asylum from Shiba Yiyin.
Unexpectedly, with such a desperate move, she would be hit with a huge pie. She is still in a daze and can't believe that she actually has a chance to make a difference.
On Mount Hosei, looking at Yoshigan Shiba with a heavenly appearance and demeanor in front of him, Ujiji Oda was even more confused, as if he was in a dream.
The family boss next to her, Sugatani Katsada, secretly pulled her sleeves, and then she came back to her senses and stepped forward respectfully.
Shiba Yoshigan stood on the observation deck, turned around and saw Oda Ujiji with a confused look on his face, and he didn't blame him. Who gave him a face that was harmful to the country and the people? No wonder others are always in a trance.
Yiyin just arrived at Oda Castle yesterday. The sun was rising today, and he came to visit Baoshi Mountain in the north of Oda Castle with great interest. At this time, he looked at the Kanto Plain and smelled the fragrance of rice in early autumn. He had to admire it.
Even though the Kanhachishu region is suffering from drought, Hitachi's crops still maintain strong vitality and the harvest is good thanks to the many tributaries around Kasumigaura.
Yoshigan turned around and smiled at Odajiji.
"Oda-hime, this is really a geomantic treasure."
Oda Ujiharu had recovered from his daze at this time, stepped forward and bowed.
"What Tsutadoden said is that the scenery in the southern part of Mount Tsukuba is indeed beautiful. Mount Hosei faces the plain, and passes the Asahi Pass to the east. The snow enters the mountain, and you can also see the lake view of Kasumigaura from Mt. Ogen.
But compared to Mount Tsukuba in the north, it’s still a little inferior.”
Yiyin nodded and said.
"There is Fuji in the west and Tsukuba in the east. I have also been famous for a long time."
He glanced at the somewhat nervous Kamao clan who was waiting on the side, but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"But this time, I won't go."
This time, the ministers were actually opposed to the move south. The influence of the Kanto Minister in the eastern part of the Kanto Plain was weak, and at most he could go to the Sano Territory of Shimono Province and the Furukawa Territory of Shimonso Province.
Yiyin's current status is extraordinary. A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. He runs happily in places outside his sphere of influence, but the people around him are very nervous.
In this regard, Yiyin is also quite helpless.
The Standing Council has decided on the first non-permanent senior middle school. The three people on rotation are Ogasawara Nagatoki, Sanada Nobushige and Oda Ujiharu.
When the big review begins next spring, these three non-permanent senior officers will work together with the three permanent senior officers to take control of the daily affairs of the Kanto Palace.
With the current power of the Kanto Palace, this authority is not insignificant and is enough to be envied by all the United Front members.
Although they are said to be on rotation, there are still traces of the three non-permanent candidates.
Ogasawara Nagatsuki represents the first batch of former United Front members to join the Kanto Shrine. Yoshigan has previously said that the former United Front members will be given priority in rotation for several years.
Sanada Nobushige is a person between the old and new United Front. She is not old enough to be called an old person. She is not new enough to be called a new person. But she has great military exploits and strong strength, which is enough to convince everyone.
As for Oda Ujiharu, he can be regarded as the unofficial candidate approved by Yoshibank. Not to mention that Oda Ujiharu himself did not think of it, the entire United Front Group did not think of it.
Although Yoshigan let go of the power of the Kanto Palace, he has further increased his influence. Sometimes it is easier to operate behind the scenes than to give orders openly.
He favored the rule of the Oda clan because he considered the vacancy of influence in the eastern part of the Kanto Plain where the Kantōshi was located.
Compared with the isolated Boso Peninsula, Shimoso, Shimono, and Hitachi Three Kingdoms in the eastern part of the Kanto Plain are all rich lands with large plains and are an important part of the Kanto Plain.
And due to historical reasons, the Echigo family and the Hojo family do not have strong influence here, and most of the local powerful military families maintain their independence.
After Uesugi Teruhora and Hojo Ujiyasu formed an alliance, the various eastern daimyo were afraid that the alliance between the two powers would be detrimental to them, so they further integrated themselves into the Oriental People.
Although this bad trend of breaking away from the Kanto system was broken by the return of Yi Bank recently. However, the people in the East maintain an independent mentality and are not friendly to Yi Bank's strategy of integrating the Kanto Plain.
The core daimyo of the Oriental People are the Yuki family of Shimotsou Province, the Utsunomiya family of Shimono Province, the Satake family of Hitachi Province, as well as local minor daimyo such as Oyama and Makabe that are closely related to them.
As for Oda Ujiharu, he had fought with all of them, and Yoshigami was quite speechless about this.
The Oda family and the Shimosumujo family were enemies. The Oda clan Haruhi and the Satake Utsunomiya family joined forces to fight against the Shimosumujo family and the Hojo family behind them, and later went to the Hojo family.
The Yuuki family, the Satake family, the Oyama family, and even the Makabe family, who were once Oda retainers, all once attacked Oda Castle and drove the Oda clan to flee.
Oda Castle fell several times and was recovered by the Oda clan several times. In a sense, the Oda clan was really an extraordinary figure. He had many ups and downs and was worthy of the name of the Phoenix of Kanto.
Yiyin deliberately promoted her status because of two things.
First, she has a bad relationship with the great names of the Wu family in the eastern part of Guanbazhou.
Secondly, the retainers and people of Xiaotian collar truly supported her.
She has a bad relationship with her surroundings, and she is exactly what Yi Bank wants to see in Kanto. The sincere support of her neighbors is the moral foundation for Yi Bank to support her.
After all, Yoshihiro is the incarnation of Giri of the Wu family, a kind and kind-hearted elder of the Genji family. He can't support a single woman who has been abandoned by his retainers, right?
As for the fact that the Oda family has suffered repeated setbacks and is weak, Yoshihiro doesn't care.
It is good to be weak. The weak can obtain great benefits for their family through the Kanto Palace and the non-permanent Laozhong on the Standing Council, and revitalize the family business, which will in turn make the martial arts flock to them.
When the day comes when everyone is willing to hold a grand discussion at the Kanto Chamber of Commerce, solve problems within the rules of the game of the Standing Council, and strengthen their own strength, that will be the greatest success of Yi Bank.
The makers of the rules of the game must be the biggest profiteers.
And Oda Ujiharu was the lucky man selected by Yoshino Bank to buy the horse bones with thousands of gold.
At this time, Oda Ujiharu didn't really understand how much benefit she had received. She was a woman chosen by a lucky man.
With his back leaning against the rising sun, Yoshigan, with a tiger's back and a wasp's waist, and a height of 1.8 meters, like a god, he said to the respectful Oda Ujiharu.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. The Kanto Palace has selected its first-year rotation of non-commissioned officers, and you are among them. It's really gratifying to congratulate you."
Oda Ujiharu looked grateful.
"All of this is the kindness of Jinduo Palace. Foreign ministers will definitely remember it in their hearts and dare not forget it."
Yiyin shook his head, pretending to be reserved.
"Thank you for what I did. The selection of people is based on the rotation system of the Grand Council. I have already given up on this."
Yiyin took advantage of the large review system of the Kanto Chamber of Commerce to throw out all its responsibilities and obligations and share them with all the United Front members.
Therefore, he can now just say that it has nothing to do with him and just do my thing. All rights belong to the Great Review, and of course, all responsibilities also belong to the Great Review.
he continued.
"When I go back this time, I will prepare to return to Konkyu. Kanto affairs still require Odahime and all the old and middle-aged people to work together to make more contributions to the peaceful development of the eight Kanto states."
When he heard that Yoshigan was leaving Kanto, Oda Ujiharu's face suddenly turned pale and his lips trembled slightly.
"Tsuda-den is going back to Konjata? Then... then..."
Yiyin asked with a smile.
"There have been a lot of things lately. I have to go back and take a look. What's wrong? Does Oda-hime have something to hide?"
Oda Ujiharu didn't know how to speak, but Sugatani Katsada behind him came out and bowed, saying sincerely.
"Tsuda-dono is above. Foreign Minister Sugatani Katsada has something to say. Please don't be surprised, Your Majesty.
Oda Castle fell several times, but it was recovered not long ago. My family governor was worried that while he was busy with the chores of the standing committee, there would be outsiders coveting the Oda family's property, causing a fire in the backyard.
By that time, if you are not in Kanto, who can bring justice to the Oda family?"
Yiyin glanced at her and said.
"I know you. Oda-hime's ability to return to Oda City owes a lot to you. You are very loyal and I appreciate it very much."
Sugatani Katsada bowed.
"This is the duty of a minister."
Yiyin smiled slightly.
Sugatani Katsada is the lord of Tsuchiura Castle. Tsuchiura Castle is located on the east bank of Kasumigaura and has a good geographical location.
Oda Castle fell several times, and the Oda clan always fled to Fujisawa Castle between Oda Castle and Tsuchiura Castle to watch the situation. If you retreat, you can sneak to Kasumigaura, and if you advance, you can gather troops to counterattack Oda Castle.
What her strategy relies on is the loyalty of the people in Tsuchiura Castle from generation to generation. Relying on the activities on the shore of Xiapu Lake, they can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. Generally speaking, foreign lords have nothing to do with them.
At this moment, when it was inconvenient for Odaji to say something, Sugatani Katsada said it for her.
The position of the non-executive senior middle-aged man is a good one, but to take care of the day-to-day affairs, the six senior middle-aged men need to meet frequently to review and discuss everything.
Oda Castle in Hitachi Province is far away from the Echigo Imperial Palace, the evaluation center of the Kanto Palace. Odaji will need to leave the territory for most of the next year, and he will not be able to take into account the safety of his family business for the time being.
If Shiba Yiyin was still in Kanto, with him controlling the situation, naturally no one would dare to mess around. But how many people will be active this time when he is here?
Oda Ujiharu wants to go to the Standing Council to gain more benefits for his family, but if he leaves the territory for a long time and the family business is taken over by others, the gains will not be worth the losses.
But she couldn't say it clearly. If she opened her mouth to express her embarrassment, Yiyin would conveniently remove her from the post of non-permanent senior middle school officer. Oda Ujiharu would regret it to death.
