Chapter 568 30. The Chaos in Uesugi Is Always Difficult to Resolve

Well, the silent general is dead!

Then the world's number one minister came to Koyata!

After unfolding Naoesuke Kagetsuna's letter, Koyata also knew the reason why the mother and son came to seek refuge.

Is Uesugi Kenshin a truly selfless and good person?

For the old feudal ruling class, he can be called a good person. But for the emerging forces and ordinary people, he is a furious King Kong.

The latent hostile force Nagao Masakage died with great difficulty, and his son Nagao Akikage was also killed. Do you think he will let the retainers of the Ueda Nagao clan continue to live and kick in Echigo?

Originally, the core retainers of the Ueda Nagao clan were killed by Usami Sadami, and the remaining small fish and shrimps were just right for catching rabbits and catching them all in one net.

Not killing you retainers is a face-saving thing. How dare you live in Echigo? Waiting for the children to grow up and inherit the territory of Ueda Manor?

Higuchi Yoroku is, after all, a retainer of the Ueda Nagao clan. Even if he is completely innocent, he is sorry. The territory was confiscated by Kenshin Uesugi, and he will not return it to you, and he does not need you to stay and pledge allegiance. He would rather give the new territory to a trusted samurai than to a retainer of a former rebel.

The Warring States period was like this, ruthless and unreasonable!

After settling the mother and the children, Kobayata certainly does not need them to eat a few bowls of rice, and the parallel line of Naoe Kanetsugu may never appear. Naoe Nobutsuna will also marry Afune and become the son-in-law and adopted son of the Naoe family.

Kobayata's territory of 5,000 kan, taking out 510 to support the mother and son is nothing. At the very least, this future will at least be a capable official, and it is not a loss to support him.

But at present, there are no males in the Higuchi family who can serve as officials, so it is not convenient to give them salaries or knowledge. He could only instruct Tatsuzo to give the mother and son 30 kan of money and 10 portions of rice every year, and to find a small courtyard to settle them.

Leaving the Higuchi family aside, thinking about it, under Kobayata, except for Akichi, who served as the general of the hatamoto band, and Heiroku, who served as the governor of Shikichi, who had been promoted to direct retainers of Yamanouchi, with high positions and prominent titles, and serving him as a yoji, Tatsuzo, Nanaki, Honda Masashige, Sakakibara Nagamasa and others have always received salaries, and no one has obtained the right to exercise.

Tatsuzo, who served him the longest among all the people, simply rewarded him with 100 kan of right to exercise, Nanaki also rewarded him with 80 kan of right to exercise, and the other two also each had 50 kan of right to exercise. Aesokichi Danmae family is also a big family with enough wealth to support their own retainers.

Now that the victory and defeat of Echigo has been decided, no matter what the result is, it has not evolved into a large-scale war that swept across the whole of Echigo, nor has it developed into a protracted internal conflict like the Shinbata Rebellion.

Next year, Kenshin Uesugi will be a brave man again, and he can continue to go on the expedition, whether to assist Yamanouchi or to conquer Kaga.

"I'm afraid that the Echigo incident will not be so easily pacified!" Hosokawa Harumiya bluntly hit Koyata's idea.

"Usami Suruga's behavior is hard to understand and unreasonable." Uncle Tsunayoshi also thinks so.

Yes! Usami Sadami's actions are a bit confusing!

Koyata is considering the result of this matter, but he really hasn't taken the process into consideration.

The most widely circulated saying is that there were two lives on the Nojiri Lake cruise, and Usami Sadami was determined to sacrifice his own life and family business for the safety of the Uesugi family.

This statement doesn't seem very reliable, and Koyata doesn't believe it.

Now the development of the matter is that Usami Sadami was instigated by Takeda Shingen, and he contacted his accomplices and launched an army to attack another Uesugi retainer. No matter where this matter is said, it is a rebellion to some extent.

First of all, he blocked Kenshin Uesugi's way to the south to help Shimotsuke and Toishi Castle. There is no doubt that he was extremely evil. He almost caused Kenshin Uesugi to lose the last directly-controlled territory of Shinano.

But the result was that Kenshin Uesugi obtained the two territories of Ueda Nagao and Biwajima Usami, and the control of the Kanrei Uesugi over Echigo was greatly improved.

It's really hard to say about the merits and demerits!

"Now that the matter of His Highness Kanrei's stepson has been completely brought to the fore, if no decision is made, a greater chaos will inevitably come!"

"Inevitable!"

The two old men continued to analyze with Xiao Pingtai solemnly, this thing is a louse on a bald head, it's obvious.

"I also know about this, but Yamauchi is an outsider after all, and it is impossible for him to interfere in the affairs of the Kanrei family. If His Highness Yulin was still alive, he would have a chance to speak as the Kanrei's brother-in-law, but His Highness Taro is too young to bring it up."

"This is the problem. The former Kanrei Kingu has given birth to another heir. This is considered the Kanrei's younger brother, and there will still be chaos in Echigo." Hosokawa Harumiya rubbed his temple.

"The son of His Highness Kingu is about the same age as His Highness Taro, and there may be disputes in the future."

Let's talk about what this is. Nagao Hidekage died, and one of the heirs died. But Uesugi Kenshin was very good at martial arts. His three sons were killed by Hojo Ujiyasu, but he was still able to have children. And unlike the complete loss of Ueno's territory in history, Uesugi Kenshin now still has a huge pension of 50,000 kan in Ueno.

Not only is the capital strong, but the key point is that he also has thirty or forty samurai retainers serving him (Oishi Tsunamoto, Kuragano Naoyuki, etc.). With money and retainers, Kenshin Uesugi has passed away, and this younger brother who is still a child now will also grow up.

What would you think if it were you?

Your "real brother" has no sons, only you, his "real brother", and the rest are cousins ​​who are one generation apart. Inheritance must also comply with the basic law!

Who else but me? If you were Nagao Hidekage, it would be fine. You would be the son of Uesugi Kenshin's real sister, the eldest nephew, and half a son. What is Uesugi Kagetora? How close is Uesugi Kagetora's son? Can he be as close as my "real brother"?

Echigo is a pot, anyone can come and stir it, and stir it happily.

"Dan Zheng Dan Zheng! Stop chatting, stop chatting! Something big has happened!" Xiao Nai rushed in without caring about etiquette.

"What big deal!" Xiao Ping is usually very kind, but after so many years, he has accumulated a certain amount of aura and power.

Xiao Nai was scolded and was stunned for a moment!

Then he cried out "Wow", howling thrillingly.

"Madam is bleeding! Bleeding!"

"What!" Xiao Pingtai was so frightened that she stood up. Something happened to A Ling.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! Go get a doctor! Get Dr. Nagata!" Hosokawa Harumiya was also anxious when she heard that something happened to her daughter.

"Maybe she's going to give birth!" Uncle Tsunayoshi had three children and a daughter two years ago. He's experienced it.

"Giving birth? A Ling is going to give birth?"

Xiao Pingtai ran out with all his might!
