Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh turn met resistance
Yamanaka Yukimori felt a little relieved when he learned that Shiba Yoshigami was just frightened and left the battlefield.
She was too lazy to care about the fate of the Yutai people. When she found her master, he would take care of these bastards.
She bowed respectfully and answered.
"It all depends on His Highness Uesugi."
Terutora Uesugi nodded and was about to speak. Naoe Keetsuna, who came with her, and Kakizaki Keie looked at each other, and Naoe Keetsuna stepped out and bowed.
"Your Highness, our army has just fought hard and is exhausted, so it is not appropriate to mobilize troops for the time being."
Uesugi Teruhora glanced at her without saying anything. Kakizaki Keiye gritted his teeth and also stood in line and bowed.
"Your Highness, there are indeed some difficulties."
Maori Jinghiro glanced at the two important ministers and bowed behind them without saying a word.
Teru Uesugi laughed in anger, and the new Uesugi retainers were frightened by the tragic losses of this battle.
Naoe Keizuna represents the interests of the clan retainers, and Kakizaki Keie represents the Naomi clan. They both disagree with Uesugi Teruhora returning to Kawanakajima to look for Shiba Yoshigan.
What if Takeda Harunobu is provoked and she sends troops to confront him again and a fight breaks out?
On behalf of the Kashiwazaki community, Mouri Kehiro carefully followed the opinions of the new Uesugi retainers group, which was also a statement.
Her hatred for Shiba Yoshigoshi cannot be eliminated in her heart, and now she has legitimate reasons to object. Of course, she hopes that the rescue will be delayed as late as possible. It would be best if Shiba Yoshigan is discovered by the Takeda family and killed.
Terutora Uesugi squinted her eyes and considered. She wanted to return to the army to find Yoshigan Shiba, but she couldn't.
The names of the Wu family are actually very hard-working, and their power comes from the bottom.
Since ancient times, in order to seek shelter, the lower-class villagers have given part of their control power to the upper-class daimyo owners. The upper-class daimyo owners have also sought refuge and ceded power to the higher-up daimyo lords.
The successive layers of power moved upward, solidifying the cornerstone of the rule of the Daimyo Lord, who was the prototype of the samurai clan's daimyo.
The power of the samurai daimyo comes from part of the control rights ceded by the samurai group under his command, so he must fight for the interests of the samurai group that is loyal to him.
Just like buying a fund, everyone invests money under a family name. What they expect is appreciation and what they hate is loss.
The power structure of the samurai family is similar to communal ownership, a system of shared governance by nobles. Unlike the centralized system of the Celestial Dynasty, the daimyo's autonomy is very small.
Even a Warring States daimyo like Takeda Harunobu who concentrated power could not leave his retainers to do their own thing.
Terutora Uesugi accepted the title of Shogun and is a traditional guardian daimyo. Within the guardian system, her power is more easily restricted.
Originally, based on her prestige, the Hime warriors of the Hatamoto lineage, such as Kakizaki Keie and Saito Nobu, who were close ministers, would definitely look up to her.
The family members were not willing to disobey her will and suffer the consequences of being suppressed.
But the cost of the bloody battle on Kawanakajima was too shocking. Everyone was frightened by the shocking damage and was unwilling to fight against the Takeda family again.
This was a very big blow to the Guandong strategy, and it could be said that it was a bad start.
But Uesugi Teruhu has no time to think about this for the time being. Her only goal now is to get Shiba Yoshigan back safely!
Fortunately, due to Yoshihiro Shiba's deliberate favoritism, the losses suffered by Nagao Ichimon were still within the acceptable range, allowing Uesugi Teruhora to maintain the confidence to exercise power.
Thinking of this, Terutora Uesugi's heart ached.
She finally understood Shiba Yiyin's good intentions in using the Imperial Guard to kill the queen in order to preserve the vitality of the Nagao Clan.
The result of this approach was that the Otai people abandoned their master and retreated. Thinking of this, Uesugi Teruhu felt sad.
This is Yiyin's deep love for her. Although he has rejected her many times, Yiyin definitely loves her!
Otherwise, why would he come all the way to Kanto to accompany her and Uesugi Teruhora on the Kanto Strategy? Is there anyone who can force him to do it?
It was because Shiba Yiyin always thought about her that he ended up missing!
Terutora Uesugi looked up at Mouri Kagehiro and sneered. She finally figured out that this guy was taking advantage of the situation.
Mouri Kagehiro and Hojo Takahiro had a deep mother-daughter love, and they deeply hated Shiba Yoshigan, who killed Hojo Takahiro.
Although she did nothing wrong, she must have played a disgraceful role in this incident!
When Naoe Keitsuna saw Uesugi Teruhora sneering at Mouri Keikihiro, he felt uneasy and spoke.
"Your Highness, Lord Maori has done a great job this time."
Terutora Uesugi glanced at Naoe Keizuna and understood what she meant.
The Kashiwazaki Plain is located between the Takata Plain in Joetsu and the Echigo Plain in Central and Lower Etsu. Its location is very important and the relationship between the samurai family is complicated.
There are the Fuchu Nagao family tree generation of Hojo Takahiro's line, and the old guardian ministers of Usami Sadamitsu's line, intertwined with each other.
Nowadays, Hojo Takahiro was killed during the rebellion, Usami's family was exiled, and Kashiwazaki was marginalized among the Echigo samurai family.
In desperation, they approached Mouri Kehiro, a descendant of a famous family, and hugged each other for warmth.
Mouri Kehiro has the double recognition of the generational retainers and the guardian of the old retainers, which is very beneficial to the Kashiwazaki people in fighting for the rights and interests of the new Uesugi retainers.
If Terutora Uesugi punishes Kagehiro Mori for his meritorious service in a fit of anger, Kashiwazaki would never accept it.
Just these days, two important ministers from the Kashiwazaki Plain have been beheaded by Uesugi Teruhora, and another family has been severely punished by being exiled as a whole.
If we take down Kagehiro Mouri, who has both merit and innocence, do we really think that the Kashiwazaki people are good men and women? What if they riot?
This was not in the interest of the Echigo samurai. They supported Terutora Uesugi because they wanted the benefits of the Kanto Plain, not civil strife.
The new Uesugi retainers were opposed to returning to the battlefield to look for the missing Yoshigan Shiba, and Uesugi Terutora could not force them to march.
At this time, Murakami Yoshikiyo, who heard about the battle between the troops, rushed over and was hearing the second half.
She made a prompt decision, rushed into the circle, and bowed to Uesugi Teruhu.
"Your Highness, what happened here?"
In fact, Uesugi Teruhora had already seen Murakami Yoshikiyo in the outer circle. Seeing that she knew what she was asking, his heart became bright and he said.
"Gong Qianxin frightened his horse in the battlefield and has not returned yet. I am very worried."
Murakami Yoshikiyo pretended to be surprised, pretending not to see the opposition from the new Uesugi retainers, and said anxiously.
"The imperial office is missing? What should we do? We should quickly return to the army and search for it on Kawanaka Island.
The Odaisho was an envoy sent by the shogunate to condemn Takeda Harunobu's invasion of Shinano Kingdom and the warlord's war. If he had an emergency, how would he explain it to the shogunate?
We will all bear the blame for the Wu family's death."
Murakami Yoshikiyo is the one who least wants the Uesugi family to return to the army. Her roots are all in Hokushin.
This time the Uesugi family and the Takeda family fought hard, and she was afraid that Uesugi Teruhu would give up on the Murakami family.
If Terutora Uesugi withdraws her troops, the isolated Murakami Yoshikiyo will have no choice but to follow her and turn back to Echigo.
Maybe Terutora Uesugi would save her face and give her some land to survive, but the Murakami family, known as the general of Shinano, would completely decline and its future would be bleak.
How could Murakami Yoshikiyo be reconciled to this result? Of course she hoped that the Uesugi Army would insist on fighting the Takeda family. And the disappearance of Yoshigan Shiba gave her an excellent excuse.
The Ashikaga Shogunate was indeed on its last legs, but since the direct descendants of Kawachi Genji had a noble status, Murakami Yoshikiyo used this as an excuse to encourage Terutora Uesugi to return to the army and fight again, so there was no moral flaw.
