Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh Ou's intelligence
Yiyin was worried about Yamanaka Yukimori's troubles, but faced with this beautiful girl who had been made to feel inferior and inferior by him, he was reluctant to punish her.
At this time, he still wanted to understand Ou's situation first, and then consider how to deal with the conflicts between the Niigatazu people.
After all, his judgment on Ou came from the intelligence of Yasuda Nagahide. In terms of trust, he had reservations after all.
Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must pay attention to them.
When it comes to war, Shiba Yiyin has always been cautious. Only information verified by multiple parties can give him enough confidence to make decisions.
Momochi Santafu was able to take the initiative to go to Ou to investigate. This girl is indeed good at doing things, and Yiyin is very satisfied.
Bai Di San Taifu bowed and said.
"The mountains in Otaisho and Ou have been closed by heavy snow. I didn't stay long, and most of the information I got was from merchants and wine shops in various places.
It is compiled into a book here, and the truth may be biased, so I ask the imperial office to adopt it with caution."
Bai Di San Taifu handed over a volume with both hands. Yi Yin nodded and said with a smile.
"You are still too careful.
Going deep into the bitter cold of Ou in winter is a great achievement. Regardless of whether this information is accurate or not, I will never forget your contribution."
The heavy snowfall in Ou is much worse than that in Echigo, and even the relatively warm southern Ou basins are not much better.
If Momochi Santaifu wanted to rush back quickly to give an explanation to his lord, he would definitely not be able to go too deep. He would probably be buying information in the Aizu area.
She is giving Yiyin a vaccination. If the information is wrong, don't blame her.
Yoshigan, on the other hand, didn't care. He just wanted to find out if Ou Daimyo had the energy to intervene in Shimotsu's Shinbada Rebellion. He didn't want to send troops to seize territory. Why did he know so much?
As long as the intelligence can tell clearly whether Ashina Moritaka is really dead and whether the Ashina Date family has given up supporting the Shimotsu rebellion, it will be enough.
Yoshigami smiled and signaled Momochi Santao and Kirigakure Saizo to wait a moment. He quickly scanned the information they brought.
After verifying the information and seeing that it was the same as what Yasuda Nagahide said, and that the situation was even more confusing, he was completely relieved.
It was an unlucky year for Xinfa Tian Changdun, and the timing of the rebellion was really bad.
It turns out that not only the governor of the Ashina family died, but only a two-year-old daughter was left. Even the Date family had problems and they had no time to take care of themselves.
The current head of the Date family is Date Masamune, who is said to be blind in one eye.
Perhaps because of her disability, this person has a fierce personality and advocates bravery in doing things. Now the Ida family is in civil strife because of her temperament.
Her mother, Date Huizong, administered the government calmly, and gradually put things in order through marriage alliances. The Date family, which had been strong for a while, then fell into decline.
After passing the family business to Date Masamune, the old governor of the family, Date Terumune, abdicated and lived in seclusion.
Who knew that his fierce daughter would change her policy after taking power, and the Date family would turn to attack the Ou families that Huairou had previously formed an alliance with.
As a result, the Nihonmatsu family was forced to take hostage the retired Date Terumune. The retainers of Date Masamune who were pursued killed both the hostages and the robbers.
Yiyin was speechless when he saw this paragraph. This style is very northern, very polar bear.
When Date Terumune died, all the great names of Ou who were attached to the Date family started to quarrel.
Everyone has recognized you as the boss, but Date Masamune wants everyone to kneel down and be like dogs. If you can't reach an agreement, let's talk with swords and guns.
The Osaki family in the Minami Sendai Plains defected, and the Mogami family in Dewa turned against each other. Date Masamune was still worried about the chaos in the north. At this critical moment, Ashina Moritaka died.
Aizu and Fukushima are the choke points of Ou. The Date family occupies the Fukushima basin, and it takes more than two days to peek into the four prefectures of Aizu.
The Ashina family has been declining since they adopted Ashina Moritaka to inherit the family business. However, her family has a strong foundation and is still the well-deserved overlord of the Aizu area.
Now that the family governor died tragically, how could the two-year-old girl control the situation? The retainer group split into two, and the pro-Ida and pro-Satake factions turned around to greet the big bosses.
Date Masamune had to attend! No matter how chaotic the north is, it cannot equal the importance of the Aizu area.
The Date family was entangled with the Soma, Nihonmatsu and other local samurai families in the north. The Satake family was also constantly entangled with the Shirakawa, Iwaki and other local samurai families in the south.
Both sides were encroaching on the Sendō Kaido east of Lake Inawashiro from north to south, but their eyes were always focused on the four Aizu counties of the Ashina family to the west of Lake Inawashiro.
The Ashina family has suffered a lot, and the retainers group has long been divided into two factions, the north and the south, which are close to the Date and Satake families respectively. If Date Masamune does not intervene, the Satake family will accept the four Aizu counties.
The Satake family originated from the Kawachi Genji family and were the same ancestor as the Takeda family. It was Minamoto Yoshimitsu who caused the civil strife of the Kawachi Genji family and caused the ancestors of the Ashikaga family to lose their reputation as direct descendants.
The direct line of the Kawachi Genji family of the Kamakura shogunate was extinct, and the Ashikaga family regained its direct line. Her family had always had a grudge against the Takeda family, but the Satake family in Hitachi Kingdom had little influence.
Because Hitachi Country is the fiefdom of Minamoto Yoshimitsu, and the Satake family has been here for hundreds of years, the recent Ashikaga shoguns are beyond their reach, so what can they do to her family?
The Kanto Plain has always been a thorn in the side of the Ashikaga Shogunate, but even the Kanto generals sent to Kamakura were unable to control the local samurai families, and even in turn united with the Kanto Hime samurai to rebel.
The Satake family has experienced ups and downs in the Hitachi Kingdom, and has become stronger again in recent years. The family governor, Satake Yoshijutsu, is a generation of British masters and is not easy to deal with.
Yoshigan was very satisfied after reading the information. The Ou daimyo themselves were in a mess and could not threaten Echigo for the time being.
But he was vaguely worried. Will Date Masamune be able to persevere in the face of the problems between the north and the south? If the Date family collapses, it will not be a good thing for Echigo.
What Yoshigan wants to see most is for the Ou big names to maintain a balance of power, so that no one can suppress the other. Only then can he feel at ease to conquer the Kanto Plain without having to worry about the threat from Ou.
Now that there is chaos in Ou in the south, and the Satake family's troops heading north are approaching, will new problems arise?
But then he thought about it, the Hitachi Satake family's strength has greatly increased, and they are marching north to attack. Can the Hojo family behind her family watch helplessly?
Even if the Hojo family has no time for him to take care of him, there are still female protagonists on the Boso peninsula. They must be more anxious about things they want to achieve.
Yiyin laughed at himself. In the troubled times of the Wu family, you should take care of the present first. You can't care about so much and far away.
After reading the intelligence, Yoshihiro knew in his heart that Shinbada Chang Atsushi was completely finished. The problem now was how to clean the buttocks of that little fool Yamanaka Yukimori who caused the mess on the front line for himself.
After much thought, he realized that the original strategy could no longer be advanced. Jia Di Jing Gang's intense emotions were not her personal will, but represented the great dissatisfaction of Yang Beizhong.
If I insist on pretending to be stupid and let my dealer continue to operate, I am afraid that it will be counterproductive and instead arouse the sympathy of the rabbits and foxes in Yangbei.
