Uesugi’s Ambitions

The Sengoku period in Japan was quite peculiar. Before Nobunaga's march on Kyoto, daimyo often had to struggle for generations to acquire even a few territories. For example, Imagawa Yoshimoto spent almost his entire life fighting in the three provinces of the Tokaido region. After Nobunaga's march, in just over a decade, he gained more than twenty territories.

The author seems to have no idea how to weaken the protagonist. Even natural disasters like mudslides have occurred, followed by meteorites that cripple the protagonist's army, preventing him from recuperating until Oda Nobunaga rises to power. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Regarding the question of whether Uesugi Noriyoshi could afford to support the eight hundred regular soldiers. I think it is indeed quite difficult. If we rely solely on Zhi Xing and donations from others, it would be impossible to support them back then. However, if the methods are appropriate, it is possible. Challenges: 1.

I guess he's worried about low average subscriptions and has some personal matters to attend to, so he doesn't want to write anymore. In the past two years, apart from the Tosa and the Ming Dynasty samurai books, very few of his works on Qidian have had a happy ending.

It's getting a bit awkward following this far; the author is clearly starting to lower the bar for mediocrity. They insist on reverting to historical accuracy; they might as well have just killed him off by the Hojo clan—it wouldn't matter whether the protagonist is there or not anyway.

In reality, given the character of modern Chinese people, if we were to travel back to the Warring States period of tiny Japan, possessing both superhuman strength and wealth, how could we possibly obediently play by their rules? Modern times have laws, but in Warring States Japan, we would become utterly unscrupulous, likely raising a bandit army to slaughter those nobility daimyo.

Personally, I think using the Mandarin Duck Formation to fight those foot soldiers and peasant soldiers is like fighting your own son or grandson. 🙂
