Chapter 1760 Good old people also have anxiety about having a baby
Every society has its own temperament and background. Some are free and casual, some are cautious and serious, and some are repressive and cruel.
The world of the Wu family is a repressive society with no room for error. Because the island country has a lack of resources per capita, a Ji warrior has been involved in crazy competition since birth.
Studying literature and martial arts, becoming an official, getting married and having a daughter, continuing the family business, every step cannot be made wrong. Often, one wrong choice can lead to a decline in class.
In the orderly and hierarchical martial society, falling down the hierarchy means that you and your descendants may never have the chance to climb up again.
Therefore, step-by-step is everyone's default rule of the game. There are too few martial artists who are qualified to not do their jobs properly. The entire social atmosphere tends to be conservative and it is difficult to innovate.
This is because in the Wu family society, the price of going out of line is too high and few people are qualified to bear it.
Sibo Yiyin is obviously a citizen of the new era who has received modern education and has comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills.
But in the Wu family society, he has to behave with his tail between his legs, and his words and deeds must conform to the rules of the Wu family society in order to integrate into life.
But even so, he, a teddy who had blended into a pack of wolves, still couldn't hide his own characteristics and was often regarded as an alien.
Uesugi Kenshin is a traditional Hime Samurai. As long as he negotiates with her according to tradition, he can naturally let her go.
After all, lunatics like Oda Nobunaga who dare to subvert the rules of the game are the only super aliens in samurai society.
Strange things happen in troubled times, and the samurai society not only produces teddy aliens like Yoshigan, but also true tigers like Oda Nobunaga, who are arrogant and arrogant.
In order to develop the family business, the governors of other families only dare to go out of their way and make some slight innovations. Once their strength increases and the situation is safe, their policies will become more conservative and return to the values of the Wu family society.
But Oda Nobunaga dared to collect the innovative policies of various families, select the best ones, and use them all in the Oda family's territory.
In a hundred years of chaos, countless samurai families struggled to survive, and naturally many innovative policies were developed that were truly beneficial to enhancing their strength. The Oda family naturally developed rapidly with these top-notch innovative policies.
But beneficial and harmful are two sides of the same coin. On the other hand, when the governor increases his strength, the interests of the retainers group are greatly damaged.
There is only so much output in the territory, and the governor takes more away through innovative policies. Naturally, the land, servants, and people in the territory get less.
This is also the real reason why Mitsuhide Akechi has been desperately fanning the flames and trying every means to help Oda Nobunaga expand rapidly.
The foundation of the Oda family is unstable, and the faster it expands, the sooner it will collapse.
Does Oda Nobunaga understand this? Of course she understands.
As the most unusual member of the samurai family throughout the ages, Oda Nobunaga has never been afraid of challenges. If he wants to accomplish great things that ordinary people cannot accomplish, he naturally has to take risks that ordinary people dare not take.
He suppressed the retainers with force, drove the eagles and dogs to conquer the world, centralized power with an iron fist, and controlled everyone by himself.
Oda Nobunaga was confident that he could control the overall situation, that he could resolve internal problems in his lifetime, and become an eternal figure in the island nation.
Compared with her, a real tiger, Shiba Yiyin is really a teddy. Apart from having sex, he has not dared to do anything really extraordinary in these years.
The most avant-garde ancient people and the most conservative modern people are in the same era, and their positions are completely opposite. If there is a pair of eyes in the air to see the overall situation, I really don't know who is the time traveler.
Because Oda Nobunaga's subversive avant-garde was unparalleled, Maeda Toshiie and Akechi Mitsuhide were both confident, believing that Uesugi Kenshin would definitely give in.
Because Uesugi Kenshin is very traditional, she did something extraordinary this time and started an undeclared war against the Oda family, which left the Shibata Katsuie full of teeth.
In fact, this move will not bring much benefit to Uesugi Kenshin, but will cause her a lot of trouble.
Because the island country is a conservative society that is accustomed to reading the air, leaving aside lunatics like Oda Nobunaga, big bosses like Uesugi Kenshin cannot act recklessly and casually.
The ruling class is a class with its own traditions, culture, and values. If you cannot conform to it, you will not be recognized by the ruling class and will be constrained by repercussions everywhere.
Therefore, there are only individuals who betray the class, but there is no class that betrays the class.
Oda Nobunaga was definitely an outlier who was anti-traditional, but Uesugi Kenshin did not dare to be so out of line.
This was the reason why Maeda Toshiie had the courage to go to Uesugi Kenshin's main camp alone and negotiate with the Uesugi coalition forces alone as soon as he received the authorization letter from Akechi Mitsuhide.
———
Echizen and Kaga were originally one country. After the establishment of Kaga Kingdom in the ninth century, they were divided into four Kaga counties.
The Komatsu area is located in the Minami Kaga Plain and is the core area of Nomi County, one of the four counties.
Since the loss of the Daishoji River area, a new town has been built in the Komatsu area as a frontline stronghold against Echizen.
This time Uesugi Kenshin raided Kaga, Shibata Katsuie was defeated miserably at Tetori River, fled back to Daishoji Castle to gather the remaining troops, and held on to the end.
After Uesugi Kenshin's successful raid, the rations brought by the cavalry were basically exhausted, so they retreated to join the main army, and continued southward with more than 30,000 troops, stationed in Komatsu Castle.
Komatsu Castle is only thirty-eight miles away from Daishoji Castle. It can be said that all the Kaga territory captured by Shibata Katsuie in the spring attack has been lost.
In the past few days while Maeda Toshiie was waiting for the authorization letter from Mitsuhide Akechi, there were actually disagreements and constant disputes within the Uesugi Alliance.
Opinions within the coalition are mainly divided into three factions.
First, there are the samurai families from Vietnam, China and Noto, who have no good impressions of Ichikui.
This time they sent troops mainly to cater to Uesugi Kenshin, cut off Oda Nobunaga's evil hands on Vietnam, China and Noto, and protect the huge commercial interests with Nanao Port as the core.
Secondly, there were two temple leaders from the Yixiang Sect in Yuezhong. They participated in the war because of their survival.
Oda Nobunaga went to Shu, and was not satisfied with killing the Kaga Ichiko clan of the eighth generation orthodoxy. He also wanted to conquer the Ezhong Ichiko clan of the fifth generation orthodoxy on the pretext of destroying the Ichiko clan.
If the Kaga Ichikuki clan were destroyed, they would have to die next. The Etsuchu Ikki clan would naturally support the Kaga Ikki clan in front.
Although there were differences in the orthodoxy of the Five and Eight Dynasties, under the threat of foreign enemies, both sides had to stick together for warmth.
Thirdly, Kaga, led by Nanari Yorisu, has always warned that they had a narrow escape this time.
Originally, Shibata Katsuie surrounded Oyama and attacked Kanazawa Obo. Shibata Noraishu was already heartbroken. Who knew there would be rain from the sky?
Who would have thought that Uesugi Kenshin would not give Oda Nobunaga face, and would rush up and slap him in the face.
Nowadays, the war situation in Kaga is no longer dominated by Kaga, headed by Nanari Yorishu, but it is the Oda-Uesugi family who are wrestling with each other.
The demands of these three parties are different and even incompatible.
The samurai families of Vietnam and China hoped that the Oda family would not invade Nanao Port and ensure that the interests of the samurai families of the two countries were not harmed.
The two temples of the Yuezhong and Ixiang sects hope that the Oda family can clearly distinguish the difference between the Ixiang sect and ensure that the safety of the two temples in Yue and China is not threatened.
Kaga Ichikamune hoped that the Uesugi coalition would continue their efforts and that after this battle, the Oda family would stop provoking wars in Hokurikudo and live in peace.
Based on the ideas of these three parties, Uesugi Kenshin used the fist-bumping angle between divine descendants to warn Oda Nobunaga that he must respect the Uesugi family in the future within the Shiba theocratic system.
It can be said that before Maeda Toshiie went on an envoy, there was already a quarrel within the Uesugi coalition, so when she arrived at Komatsu Castle, she quickly saw the clues.
Maeda Toshiie is Owari Shiba's acting magistrate, an important minister in charge of one of the three major territories of the Shiba family.
Although the Owari Shiba Territory has the smallest territory and the smallest area among the three Shiba Territories, it does include the ancestral land of the Shiba clan.
Maeda Toshiie was one of the first batch of ministers to follow Yoshihiro Shiba and had a high political status.
Therefore, even though the two sides of Oda and Uesugi were at war with each other at this time, Maeda Toshiie still received the respect he deserved when he came to Komatsu Castle.
The chief priest went out to battle sick, and was too weak to go out to greet him. Uesugi Kenshin sent Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna to greet him, and a group of high-ranking samurai stars held the moon in their honor, which gave Maeda Toshiie a lot of face.
Just entering the city, Maeda Toshiie looked around and asked.
"I remember that Komatsu Castle is an important town of the Kaga Ichika clan. Why didn't I see any soldiers from the Ichikuzu along the way?"
Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna was stunned. He didn't expect Maeda Toshiie to suddenly ask about such an insignificant matter.
On the contrary, it was Chang Lianlong behind her who answered casually.
"His Royal Highness Uesugi, who always has ulterior motives, went deep into Kaga and stationed at Komatsu. Along the way, we put our own people on guard to maintain logistics.
The members of the Kaga Ixiang Sect were also expelled, and even the Yuezhong Ixiang Sect was not allowed to intervene, but was only responsible for filling the military supply gap."
Maeda Toshiie nodded.
"He is indeed cunning and must be guarded against."
Seeing Maeda Toshiie's approval, Chang Lianlong became even more interested and interjected again.
"Isn't that right? Kaga Tuni is not satisfied with just escaping from death. He comes to make requests from time to time, which is very annoying.
That is to say, we still need them now, otherwise..."
Nagaren Ryuu went too far and did not regard the Maeda Toshi family as outsiders. Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted.
"That's enough! Say less!"
Chang Lianlong pretended to be honest, bowed and stepped back. Maeda Toshiie looked at her carefully, nodded slightly and smiled.
Although Nagarenryu looks honest on his face, he is actually cunning in combat and is a general in the Noto Kingdom.
When Ezhong went into battle, she acted like a good girl in front of Shiba Yi Ginza. Today, she talks too much, and she also acts like a good girl to the Maeda Toshi family.
Although Noto country is small, the warriors are not stupid.
Regardless of whether it is the Oda family or the Uesugi family, in the final analysis, it still depends on the face of the Shiba family.
On that day, when the Echizen Oda army was defeated and fled while holding the river in hand, all the Hime warriors stopped in their tracks when they saw the Shiba family's emblem, not even daring to take the military merit.
If there really is any fool who is so eager to take down the banner of the Shiba family, it is hard to say whether the merits will be calculated after this battle.
Even murder and arson cannot stop people from doing things that make a lot of money. But how many fools are willing to take the lead in doing things that are taboo and useless?
Maeda Toshiie ran from the Oda camp to the Uesugi camp. This was also the reason why both sides treated each other with courtesy. Everyone was very concerned about the saint's attitude, so naturally they had to be respectful to the saint's representative.
In just a few words, Chang Lianlong sent a favor. Anyway, the Uesugi Allied Forces were already full of contradictions, so it didn't matter if he said a wrong word casually. If you don't give it, the favor will not be given in vain.
Although Maeda Toshiie is still unclear about the details of the conflicts within the Uesugi coalition, she already understands that the samurai families of the two countries, Vietnam and China, and Noto, who have always hated each other, are not of the same mind, which is enough.
As a group of people entered the meeting hall of the residence hall, the atmosphere in the room changed again.
Perhaps wanting to give Maeda Toshiie a show of strength, Uesugi Kenshin sat motionless on the main seat, looking down at Maeda Toshiie who entered the room, as if he had placed himself in a position like a master.
It stands to reason that she is the Kanto governor, the second-largest figure in the old Kanto system, and one of the three powerful clans of the Kanto shrine. She gave birth to an heir for Shiba Yoshigan.
It's not unacceptable for her to show off in front of Spo's retainers and pave the way for negotiations after being strong, it's just a matter of negotiation skills.
But Uesugi Kenshin found the wrong person this time, but Maeda Toshiie didn't agree with her.
Maeda Toshiie is good at dancing and being kind to others in Oda. This is a requirement of work. In order to accumulate chips and reflect his value to Shiba Yiyin, he has to do it.
In fact, her character is not that of a good person. When she was young, she was bohemian and a rebellious young man who could be considered a lover. That's why she and Maeda Yoshiki had similar aspirations and lived together in the same room.
Yoshigan Shiba was humiliated by Juami, and Maeda Toshiie directly killed this little surname favored by Oda Nobunaga with a knife in hand, which shows the underlying character of him.
Over the years, Maeda Toshiie has been working hard in the Oda family, playing both sides, and tempering his edges. Many people have forgotten the irritable young man who had a bad temper and made trouble.
But today, Uesugi Kenshin showed off his power, which in turn made Maeda Toshiie's hot background even brighter.
Speaking of which, Maeda Toshiie, Oda Nobunaga and Shimakatsu Takeshi are women of the same age group. The fertility anxiety of Oda Nobunaga and Shimakatsu Takeshi also exists in Maeda Toshiie's heart.
Dao Shengmeng is now pregnant and everything is ready, and his temper is getting better and better.
Oda Nobunaga was so impatient that he was even willing to endure Tetori River's slap in the face in exchange for the opportunity for Shiba Yoshigan to go to Azuchi Castle Wormwood.
And what about Maeda Toshiie? She greeted everyone with a smile at the Oda house, but the pent-up anxiety in her heart had no way to vent, and it had already piled up like a mountain.
Seeing Uesugi Kenshin looking down at him like a hostess, he remembered that the arrogant woman in front of him dared to show off to him because he gave birth to a daughter for the saint.
A spark suddenly appeared on the pile of dry wood in Maeda Toshiie's heart.
If she, Maeda Toshiie, was soft on Ken Uesugi today, what kind of woman would she be!
