Terutora Uesugi is not stupid, he is just too lazy to play tricks.
She first brought up the matter of Noden in Yuezhong, exposing the selfishness of the retainers group. Now when she talked about the matter of Xieyue, the retainers group would have no shame to say many things.
Use Zi's spear to attack Zi's shield.
Naoe Keizuna bowed.
"I am stupid and don't understand the meaning of the imperial office."
Teruhora Uesugi said bluntly.
"What Duke Qianxin means is that Yangbei Zhong has caused rebellions time and time again, and we can't keep going like this.
I also deeply agree.
I will entrust Duke Qianxin to command and quell the rebellion in Tonglewei City, and all the military families who are loyal to me will be under his unified command.
Through this Xinfatian rebellion, we can also take a closer look at the Xiayue warrior family. I will not hesitate to reward any warrior family who is loyal to me.
Nakajo Fujisaki, Irobe Katsunaga and others are also two-generation veterans, so it is not good to hang outside all the time. If they fulfill their duties faithfully this time, then they can join the family and work on behalf of others.
I, Teruhora Uesugi, inherit the Yamauchi Uesugi family and take charge of Kanto. I have the unshirkable responsibility to protect Echigo. The Shimogoshi samurai family are all my subjects, and we cannot always favor one over the other."
Naoe Keizuna didn't dare to speak because this matter was too offending.
Among the Yangbei clan, the Nakajo family, the Irobe family, and the Takemata family were all samurai families loyal to the Nagao family for two generations.
In addition, Yasuda Nagahide has also presented a letter of allegiance and entered the public service of Uesugi Teruhora.
But they have always been outside the Uesugi retainers group, and are instead the bosses of the Yangbeizhong, a semi-independent group in Shimotsu. Isn't this strange?
For the Wu family, this is too normal.
Teruhora Uesugi's new Uesugi family was transformed from the Fuchu Nagao family. Its basic territory is the Joetsu Takata Plain, accounting for more than 20% of the Echigo land.
In addition, Saito Asanobu and others who had been encroaching on China and Vietnam in recent years were close to Hatamoto, and combined with the two Nagao families to form the core of Echigo's rule.
All added up, the Uesugi family's power accounts for less than 40% of Echigo's land. And Shimotsu, where the Yangbei clan is located, has a land population of 40% of Echigo's land.
If the Yangbei people are absorbed into the Uesugi retainers group, compared with military service accounts and unity and cooperation, who will have the final say in the Uesugi retainers group in the future?
Without setting up obstacles for Yangbeizhong, both parties will conduct fair evaluations. Who has the advantage?
It is impossible for those with vested interests to agree!
Naoe Keizuna is still a good person helping everyone clean up the mess of the second father-in-law's tax rebate.
But if she dared to speak for Yangbeizhong and opened the way for them to enter the Pudaizhong, she would be scolded as a traitor by the retainers and segregated.
Being stared at by Uesugi Teruhora, Naoe Keitsuna couldn't help but hold back and said nothing. He really couldn't accept these words!
Terutora Uesugi smiled slightly and did not push any further. She turned to look at Honjo Mino, and she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"My Lady, what do you think?"
Honjo Minoru's relationship with Uesugi Teruatora is that of teachers and friends, and they are her absolute confidants. Of course, Uesugi Teruatora will not embarrass her on weekdays.
But this time during the Battle of Kawanakajima, Honjo Sano was guarding Kasugayama Castle and looking after the backyard. The Uesugi priests swallowed up the tax rebate from the second prince under her eyes, leaving a mess for Uesugi Teruhora to clean up.
Terutora Uesugi asked her because she was angry and took the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction. Honjo Minoru kowtowed to the ground and did not dare to speak.
She couldn't help but cry out in her heart.
Back in China and Vietnam, Saito Asanobu and others were close to the banners and bullied Daxiong Asahide's group, forcing them to rebel.
I really can't control her, because she and the side of the flag are comrades-in-arms, so it's hard to offend her.
She was transferred back to Kasugayama Castle by Teru Uesugi, and the situation in Uesugi was more complicated than that in Chuetsu.
The Uesugi followers knew that the tax return from the second father-in-law was a benevolent policy that benefited Naka Shimotsu, but they insisted on subsidizing the welfare of the Uesugi retainers. Is it because they were stupid?
Not only did I dare not take care of it, but I also shared a lot of money and food. Is it okay if she doesn’t take it?
Uesugi Teruhora didn't dare to raise his head when he saw Honjo Minoru, so he just snorted and let it go.
Of course she knew what kind of bastards were under her command, and she was sometimes helpless when it came to the retainers. Forcing the village to control them was even more unrealistic.
But this time, the new rebellion started again, and Yoshihiro Shiba's letter revealed the dangers, which made Uesugi Teruhora determined to eliminate the hidden dangers.
The old guardian Uesugi family was destroyed, the Yangbei family was beaten to pieces by the previous family governors, and some samurai families had already decided to surrender to the Nagao family in the mansion.
Afterwards, they rebelled several times and were repeatedly suppressed, with increased military and food service as punishment.
The samurai family worships the strong, and it is normal to change the rudder when the wind blows. There are few steadfast and unyielding ones. Uesugi Teruhora was so strong that the Yangbei people gradually lost their will to resist during several rebellions.
As the village's fanchang rebelled, the young group with the strongest sense of resistance also became silent.
Yoshigan Shiba commanded the counter-rebellion in Tomeo Castle, hoping that Terutora Uesugi could use the Shinbada Rebellion to completely dismantle the Yangbei samurai group.
The Uesugi family needs to accept at least the Nakajo family, Irobe family, and Takemata family who have submitted to Joetsu for two generations to join the family to participate in government affairs and win people's hearts.
However, the Uesugi retainers did not have access to firewood and salt, and even Naoe Keizuna and Honjo Sano did not dare to speak, and the remaining people were even less qualified to come forward to coordinate.
Terutora Uesugi looked around and saw the retainers prostrate themselves on the ground and kowtowed in submission, and couldn't help but sneered.
"Why aren't you talking? Or do you think it will be fine if you don't talk?"
Teruhora Uesugi patted the letter on the desk and said.
"You are unwilling to accept the Yangbei people because you are afraid that they will dilute your power.
As long as their military service accounts are kept, let them go to the Guandong Plain to fight to the death for you and obtain more land.
Is there such a good thing in the world? It’s so beautiful to think about.
It's just a pity that the Echigo of today is no longer the Echigo of the past. If the Uesugi family doesn't accept them, they can also switch to the Kanto Palace."
All the big bosses who were lying on the ground looked up at Uesugi Teruhora.
Teruhora Uesugi chuckled.
"Gong Qianxin was responsible for suppressing the rebellion in Tongwei City, and the strategy he used was to go down to the Yue family to quell the rebellion.
If you are unwilling to accept the Yangbei people, then after the war, Duke Qianxin will definitely accept them all.
Among the fourteen parties in Yangbei, only Honjo Shimancho is determined to defect to the Kanto Palace, but you insist on forcing the others over.
The entire Shimotsu and the entire 40% of Echigo's military service accounts, you can choose for yourself."
Uesugi Teruhora bared his teeth in a smile and threw the question to the retainers.
If it hadn't been for the sudden emergence of Yoshigan Shiba, he and Terutora Uesugi would have formed a strange duopoly in Echigo.
Even if Terutora Uesugi launches the Kanto Strategy, the internal problems of Echigo will not be solved and can only be delayed. Sooner or later, they will break out in the way that the samurai family is best at.
She could even feel that if she could suppress it before her death, she would inevitably cause a big mess after her death.
Only when the Uesugi retainers group was in civil strife, and the Yangbei clan also rebelled, and Echigo killed corpses all over the place, and each family reshuffled their cards, could this dead end be solved.
However, the appearance of Shiba Yoshigan changed everything. He gave the Yangbei clan other escape routes and made the Uesugi retainers dare not do whatever they wanted.
