Yoshigan didn't know that the reason why Uesugi Teruhu didn't want to see her was because she was suffering the same pain Takeda Shingen had suffered.
The seeds from another world seem to have brought the experience of pregnant women from other worlds to this world of female lords, giving the Ji warriors the opportunity to experience the hard work of carrying a child for ten months.
Ji Samurai, who originally regarded pregnancy as a simple matter of eating and drinking, did not think it was a hard task.
Terutora Uesugi was pregnant in the middle of summer, and she was still in the early stages of her first trimester. She was experiencing lethargy, morning sickness, irritability and other discomforts.
This made her suddenly understand why Takeda Shingen had been lying in Sunpu Castle for nearly half a year unable to move and doing nothing because of a small childbirth matter.
It's not that I don't want to do it, it's probably because I really can't do it. It's so hard in the early stages of pregnancy, and it will definitely be even more debilitating when giving birth. I can only say that Shiba Yiyin is not a human being, and his seed is too terrible.
I have never eaten pork, but I have also seen pigs running away. When Ji Ji is pregnant, it only affects three days before and after giving birth, and then she is alive and kicking.
Only Shiba Yoshigan's seeds are so powerful, even those as powerful as Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Terutora have to lie down and rest, without the energy to do anything.
Terutora Uesugi remembered that Takeda Shingen could still conquer the Suruga Kingdom in this state, and he was unwilling to admire this love rival from the bottom of his heart. He only attributed it to the fact that the Imagawa clan was really useless.
Because the reaction in the first trimester of pregnancy was too strong, Uesugi Teruhu had to avoid Shiba Yoshigan to avoid letting him find out about her pregnancy.
Carrying the melancholy of his lover's departure, and feeling the seeds of love between the two germinating in his body, Uesugi Teruhu didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
But there was only one thing she firmly believed in, and that was that Takeda Shingen should die. Now that Yoshigan Shiba has left Kanto, the attack on the Takeda family should also be put on the agenda.
As soon as she became murderous, Uesugi Terutora couldn't help but vomited again. She was frustrated to find that she didn't seem to have the energy to trouble Takeda Shingen for the time being.
Plans can't keep up with changes.

Yoshigan Shiba boarded the fast ship returning to Koji, while Teru Uesugi lay in Kasugayama Castle and ignored everything, just like when he went on an expedition, leaving everything to the management of the retainers.
Without the intervention of the two masters, many things not only did not gradually calm down, but the undercurrent became more and more turbulent.
With Teruhora Uesugi relenting, he allowed his subordinate forces to join the Grand Council. And because the Hojo clan had the tacit approval of Yoshihiro Shiba, the Hojo forces also joined the Grand Council.
The Great Review of the Kanto Chamber of Commerce seems to have become a new battlefield. The three major forces of Shiba Uesugi and Hojo, together with the small and medium-sized forces in Kanto, have re-established a platform to continue their intrigues.
During this process, it seemed that only Ashikaga Yoshiji of the Furukawa leader was seriously injured.
Although this was not intentional by Yoshihiro Shiba, the Kanto system headed by the Kamakura Ashikaga family is heading towards irreversible demise.
On the corpse of the Kanto system, a new system called the Kanto Shisho is gradually replacing the Kanto system and is accepted by all Kanto samurai families.
The influence of the Kanto Palace is even wider than that of the Ten Kingdoms of Kanto under the control of the Kanto Shogun, and it radiates to Hokurikudo, Tokaido, the Ten Kingdoms of Kanto, and the Ou region.
The Kanto samurai are very interested in the new system of the Kanto Palace. The joint meeting mechanism created by the decentralization of power by the Yi Bank seems to be very popular with the traditional samurai who have a natural republican tendency.
Just like the early days of the Kamakura shogunate, the beautiful era when Minamoto Yoritomo and the powerful imperial family jointly governed Kanto are back.
At that time, Minamoto Yoritomo relied on the Bando Hachihei clan to make his fortune. In order to win over powerful samurai from all over the Kanto region, he established a monarch-minister contract of royal favors and official duties.
Compared with the imperial court in Kyoto, which only knew how to squeeze the samurai family, the Kamakura shogunate really clearly marked its price, and it was no wonder that the samurai families in the world were attracted to the Kawachi Genji family and disliked the Ise Heike family who had become princes.
After Minamoto Yoritomo's death, the thirteen-member collegial system was left to assist the new general in governing.
However, the Kamakura shogunate was usurped by the former Hojo family, and the Minamoto Yoritomo bloodline was cut off. The former Hojo family obtained the emperor's bloodline from Kyoto and became a puppet general.
Because the former Hojo family was not a shogun, but was governed by the most powerful imperial family members in the first order, the imperial family collegial system dominated the operation of the shogunate.
And because the Hojo family was the dominant family, this collegial system soon ceased to exist in name only, but the beautiful memories of this powerful samurai family governing the world together were deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Kanto samurai family.
Yoshihiro Saba established the Kanto Shrine, and the grand council system was similar to the royal family collegial system. The standing council was like the highest power in the hands of the former Hojo ruler.
The difference between the two is that Sibo Yiyin implemented the idea of decentralization, retaining only three permanent senior middlemen to hold the veto power, and gave up the positions of the other three non-permanent senior middlemen to share with Zhu Ji.
All martial arts families can put forward their own group's demands in the biannual major reviews through the United Front as a representative of the martial arts family.
As representatives of the Wu family, the United Front has the right to take turns to serve as non-permanent senior middlemen, participate in the management of daily affairs, and share the highest rights of the Kanto Palace.
This political form that takes into account all Wu family groups and allows everyone to fight for the interests of their own group is a republic with Wu family characteristics.
Yoshihiro Shiba left Kanto on the eve of the Autumn Grand Council, which was equivalent to keeping his promise. The supreme power belonged to the Grand Council and he would not interfere with the Grand Council's arrangements for next year's Standing Council.
Since he is so righteous, the traditional martial arts masters in Kanto are even more attracted to the big review. It is related to the fundamental interests of their own group, so of course they must try their best to fight for it.
How can this undercurrent be stopped?
———
In Azuma County, Iwaki Castle, Sanada Nobushige, who won the first non-permanent senior middle school title from the Autumn Grand Council, returned to his hometown in high spirits and invited his ally Nobata Nobusada to celebrate with him.
Not long after the Shino clan in Azuma County, headed by Sanada Nobushige, developed again, these mountain people still retained their bohemian mountain traditions.
Not long after the banquet started, some people had gone crazy after drinking a few glasses of sake. They were talking loudly, laughing and cursing, which made Nobushige Sanada's eyes twitch at the head of the table.
She didn't resent the Sanada warriors who had followed her through life and death for not following the rules, but she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Kobata Nobuzada's half-smiling eyes at the guest table.
The Kohata family of Kunamine Castle and the Nagano family of Minawa Castle are known as the Nishi Ueno twins. As leaders of the samurai families, one in the south and one in the north, they have great influence in the Nishi Ueno land.
Obata Nobusada was expelled by Nagano Yamasa, lost Kunmine Castle, and was forced to live in exile in Azuma County. Finally, he joined forces with Sanada Nobunaga and fought back to Nishi Ueno.
But from the moment he returned to Kunimine Castle to assume the role of family governor again, the alliance between Sanada Nobuhige and Obata Nobusada became different from before.
In the past, it was Nobada Nobada who was living under someone else's roof, begging Sanada Nobunshige to help her regain her family fortune. Now it is Sanada Nobunaga who needs Nobada Nobada's help to gain a foothold in the land of Nishi Ueno.
Sanada Nobushige took advantage of Nagano Yamasa's death and the lack of prestige of his successor Nagano Yashimai to make a surprise attack on Minawa Castle and entered the land of Nishi Ueno.
But her unauthorized actions angered Yoshihiro Shiba. If Yukitaka Sanada hadn't made a plan before his death to use the invasion of foreign enemies to help Nobushige Sanada pass the border, Yoshihiro Shiba would have severely punished Nobushige Sanada.
But even though he escaped the disaster, Yoshigan Shiba still did not give Sanada Nobushige the right to occupy Nishi Ueno. He only temporarily allowed the Sanada people to help defend Nishi Ueno on the grounds of resisting foreign enemies.
In addition, Nagano Yamori, who had narrowly escaped death, squeezed into the Doujin Secretariat through Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's last words and Shima Katsuo's recommendation, and became a member of the Shiba family's core group, which is another hidden danger.
Sanada Nobushige is facing internal and external troubles, and Obata Nobusada, an ally, is becoming more and more important to her.
This time she invited Kobata Nobusada to come over, just to find a way to further bind the two families with benefits, so that the Sanada family would have a firm supporter among the famous local families in Nishi Ueno.
Sanada Nobushige glanced at Yuri Kamanosuke, the one who was making the most noise in the audience. This former bandit of Suzuka Mountain was the most unruly.
Picking up a rice ball on the table, Sanada Nobushige smashed it and cursed.
"Kamanosuke, you bastard! Just be quiet!"
Umino Riichi and Miyoshi Seikai, who were accompanying them at the table, looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. Sanada Nobushige's appearance of wearing a crown like a monkey was really unattractive.
Whose family leader reprimanded his subordinates by throwing rice balls? Nobuzada Kobata laughed so hard that his eyebrows arched, obviously he was taking it as a joke.
Umino Toshi coughed and gave Sanada Nobushige a cold look. Sanada Nobushige shivered, then he laughed dryly and changed the subject.
"Let's talk about business, let's talk about business.
Obata-hime, I invite you to come today. You are the first non-permanent veteran I have the honor to serve on the Standing Council of the Kanto Palace.
At least next year, I can help you talk more about our Nishi Ueno affairs at the Standing Council."
Kobata Nobuzada bowed slightly and said with a faint smile.
"Congratulations to Sanada-hime."
She looks normal but is not without jealousy in her heart.
The standing council is said to take turns among the United Front members, but who can sit on it still depends on political balance.
The three people who will serve as the first non-permanent old and middle-aged people starting next year will be selected from the three generations of the old, middle and new generations of the United Front.
After Ogasawara Nagatsuki fought in Kawanakajima, she joined the Kanto Palace and was awarded the status of a united warrior. Although she was weak, she was senior and could shout.
In order to appease the old man, Sibo Yiyin set the target that in the first three years, there must be an old man to unite the frontline with the non-permanent old man.
Ogasawara Nagatoki, an old man who could complain, was tacitly promoted to serve as a non-permanent senior middle officer, which made Murakami Yoshikiyo jealous.
Also after the Battle of Kawanakajima, they defected to the Echigo forces, Ogasawara Nagatoki followed Yoshigan Shiba, and Murakami Yoshikiyo defected to Uesugi Teruhora.
The two men's territory in Hokushin was the buffer zone between the Echigo forces and the Takeda family. Everyone was doing the same job, but when it came to getting benefits, they were in the sky and the earth.
Murakami Yoshikiyo considers himself to be more capable than Ogasawara, but he is not as capable of shouting as Ogasawara. Only babies who can cry can be fed.
At this moment, Terutora Uesugi had already relaxed. The high-ranking samurai under the Uesugi family could also serve as United Front members. Murakami Yoshikiyo immediately wrote an application. Who wouldn’t want the benefits of being an old man?
On the other side, Oda Ujiharu is the new representative of the United Front introduced by Yoshihiro Shiba. Although Yoshihiro Shiba himself avoids suspicion and does not participate in discussions, who dares not to let her be the candidate that the boss likes?
As for the Mesozoic United Front between the old and new, Sanada Nobushige has the largest territory, the strongest fists, and a thick skin when he dares to fight and kill.
Her position as a special veteran was obtained based on her strength. Those who cannot be promoted are all insignificant and small roles, and they have to give hope to the powerful martial arts family.
It sounds like it's a round-robin selection, but it's very much Ren Laozhong's way of selecting people. There are many twists and turns. Before the meeting, these three people have been finalized.
Obata Nobuzada didn't understand what Sanada Nobushige was doing after celebrating with great fanfare after the big review and even inviting him here specially?
Do you just want to show off to yourself? Then this new boss who was born in Mountain Monkey is a bit shabby.
Obata Nobuzada was neither cold nor hot, Sanada Nobushige chuckled and said to himself.
"You don't have to be polite, Obata-hime. We are all members of the Nishi Ueno samurai family. We are all one family. Naturally, we must unite as one and we cannot let outsiders bully us.
Look at Shimotsu's Honjo, Kachi, Nakajo, and Yasuda, whether they are Shiba or Uesugi factions, they all crowded together into the big council, hoping to squeeze everyone in Shimotsu.
There are also Uesugi Kagenobu from Chugotsu, the Shirai Ryota family from Higashi-Ueno, and the Nagao family from Ashikaga Castle in Shimono. They are all relatives of Uesugi Teruatora.
As soon as Uesugi-san let go, which one of them didn't quickly find a way to submit an application to the Grand Council? Who doesn't want to make more money at the Kanto Palace?
Not to mention the losers in Guanbazhou. When fighting, they fall to the wind, but they are really rude when they take advantage of them.
We, the people in the West, must not be humble and courteous, otherwise our grandsons will not be able to leave even a copper penny of benefit to us, and we will have to fight for ourselves."
Sanada Nobushige told us all about Nishi Ueno. He really didn’t regard himself as an outsider and was really thick-skinned.
I don’t even think about how many Minawa people she killed when she raided Minawa Castle. If it weren’t for Ueizumi Nobutsuna’s death protection and Nagano Nobumori’s escape, the Nagano family of Minawa Castle, a famous sect in Nishi Ueno, would have been wiped out.
Obata Nobusada knew that Sanada Nobunaga was eager to be recognized by the Nishi Ueno people. She wanted to use the benefits of the Standing Council to fight for power in the Kanto Palace on behalf of the Nishi Ueno samurai group.
She would fight for the benefits, but the people in the West had to accept her first, right? This was the purpose of her meeting with Nobuzada Obata.
The alliance and fusion of the two groups, the Sanada clan and the Nishijono clan, requires a powerful figure like Nobusada Obata to bring them together.
But Obata Nobuzada did not express his position easily, he just smiled and said perfunctorily.
"Sanada-hime is determined."
It's not that Obata Nobusada is deliberately cold, but the idea of Sanada Nobushige, an outsider, to integrate into the land of Nishi Ueno is really a bit naive.
This matter has to start with Nagano Yamasa.
Nagano Yasumasa is a generation of heroes who has been running Nishi Ueno for decades. He has married off a lot of his sons, and his in-laws are all over Nishi Ueno and beyond.
The Obata family, the Ninjō Narita family, the Kibe family, the Hamagawa family, the Oto family, the Wada family, the Kuragano family, the Ita family, the Hanao family, and the Ubashi Nagano family.
A total of twelve daughters-in-law, connected to the branches of relatives behind them, formed a huge network of connections.
Not to mention Nishi Ueno, just talking about Nishi Ueno, there are 320 castles and villages with relatives and friends. The Minawa clan is the in-law party headed by the Nagano family of Minwa Castle.
Sanada Nobushige overthrew the Nagano family of Minawa Castle, and almost every member of the Nishi-Ueno samurai family had relatives and friends die in the raid by the Sanada clan.
At this moment, Sanada Nobunaga is arrogantly planning to become one of the people in the West! Who and you are one of our own!
Nobuzada Obata's situation is special. Nagano Yamasa's mother-in-law was unkind in the first place. No wonder her daughter-in-law is unjust.
She fought back to Kokumine City to regain her family property, and the Nishi Ueno samurai group could still accept it. After all, this was an internal conflict among the Minawa clan.
But Sanada Nobushige, a butcher whose hands are stained with the blood of the Nishi Ueno samurai family, also wants to represent Nishi Ueno? What a dream!
