Chapter 1353 Murder, Punishment and Wealthy
Oda Nobunaga instigated Matsunaga Hideo to deal with Wada Yuomasa, and Matsunagahide, a sinister man, did not show up himself, but instigated Mibuchi Fujihide to take down Gaogui Castle.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki wanted to win Mibuchi Fujihide, and originally wanted to dig Shiba Yoshigin's corner, but now, he has dug his own wall to collapse.

If the issues between Yoshiaki Wada and Fujihide Mibuchi are not handled properly, Yoshiaki Ashikaga's basic situation will be shaken.But at this time, Oda Nobunaga made another move against Wada Yuimasa.

The territory of the Wada family, Wada Village, is in Koga County, Minami Omi, which is the sphere of influence of the Oda family.

Niwa Chohide has been active in Minami Omi for almost a year, and he has already figured out the local situation, and it is only then that he hit the snake seven inches with a thunderous blow.

The Oda family found an excuse to demolish the wall of the stockade in Hetian Village and fined him a fine. It seemed fair and strict, but in fact it took the life of Yuomasa Wada.

In troubled times, bandits and evil parties are rampant, and it is normal to form villages to protect yourself.The island country is full of walled cities, and Hetian Village can be called a village or a city.

Without the protection of the outer wall, how can the Hetian family live in this territory?
Not to mention that wandering thieves will come to harass the disaster, even the fellow villagers of Jiahezhong, they may feel itchy in the undefended village, and they can't help but cover their faces and grab it first.

After all, there are many hills within the Jiahezhong, and some factions themselves are at odds with Wada Yuzheng.

If there is any hint of the Oda family, the master of Minami Omi, the Wada family may have no place to stand in Minami Omi in the future.

Wada Yuomasa has already lost the territory of the Settsu Kingdom. If the territory of Minami Omi's hometown is lost again, the Wada family will really fall.

Moreover, Oda Nobunaga did a great job.

The wall was demolished, and the fine was fined.She also issued an order not to allow Hetian Weizheng to visit. This was not to give a chance to beg for mercy, and she wanted to force Hetian Weizheng to death.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Wada family is doomed, even Takenaka Shigeharu, a resourceful military adviser, thinks so.

But Hashiba Hideyoshi has a different opinion. She once saw Wada Yuimaga, the daughter of Wada Yuimasa, and Niwa Nagahide, who went to see Oda Nobunaga together.

Hetian Weizheng was smart all his life, but he didn't expect that he would be sold out by his daughter long ago.Fortunately, the daughter joined the Oda family in advance, so the Wada family can have a chance.

Therefore, Hashiba Hideyoshi does not think that Wada Yuomasa will be finished.However, it would be interesting to assume that this situation was intentional by Oda Nobunaga.

If Ashikaga Yoshiaki's chief minister is forced to bow his head and take refuge in Oda Nobunaga.

The prestige that Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the new general, has worked so hard to build up through the Settsu Raiders will surely disappear.It's not even as good as when he succeeded to the throne just now, he will fall into an extremely bad predicament.

Hashiba Hideyoshi thought for a while and said something in a low voice.

"I once met Niwa Chohide-sama taking Wada Yuichang out of the reception room of the main hall."

Shigeharu Takenaka's pupils shrank, and he repeated these words.After a while, she sighed.

"From this point of view, the hall is about to go to Luoyang and Beijing again."

Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded and said nothing.

After clarifying the key point of Wada Yuichang, Oda Nobunaga's plan is not difficult to guess.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki relied on Shiba Yoshigin and Oda Nobunaga, he was able to succeed in Shangluo in one go.But before the two, Ashikaga Yoshiaki already had his own supporters.

Among these supporters, the most important ones are Wada Yoomasa and Niki Yoshimasa.

Wada Yuisha was good at diplomatic mediation, and he made great contributions in negotiating with local powerful vassals for Ashikaga Yoshiaki and assisting him in Shangluo.

Niki Yoshimasa controlled Sakamoto Castle, and before Ashikaga Yoshiki died, he obtained the command of Ashikaga Huizhong. He was Ashikaga Yoshiaki's reliable military force.

Although Yoshiaki Ashikaga has theoretically inherited the Ashikaga shogunate and the shogunate after she took over the throne, she does not have many reliable foundations.

The shogunate group has been weakening since Ashikaga Yoshiki took over Ise Zhenjiao.Ashikaga Yoshiki and Ise Sadako died tragically one after another, and the strength of the shogunate group was even weaker than before.

The current leader of the shogunate group is Ninagawa, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki sent Yamaoka Keitomo to privately woo her daughter, Ninagawa, but was directly rejected.

Not everyone is as stupid as Mibuchi Tengying, jumping out at this sensitive moment to change masters, in case something goes wrong in the future, the whole family will die lightly.

The leader of the local power faction in the shogunate is Shiba Yoshigin, and Mibuchi Fujihide, who Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been wooing with all his heart, has made a big mess in the Settsu country, which has made Ashikaga Yoshiaki embarrassing.

Hatakeyama Takamasa is determined to be Shiba Yoshigin's dog. After Mibuchi Tohide jumped back, the Izumi Hosokawa family will only redouble their consideration of Shiba's family, lest Shiba Yoshihiro get angry.

The basic plan of the Ashikaga Shogun family comes from the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu reorganization of the imperial family system, changing the central imperial family to Fenggong, and its core force is the Ashikaga Huizhong.

Because Ashikaga Yoshiaki lacked a foundation, even the Yamashiro country and the surrounding manors that Ashikaga Yoshiki managed to control back then could not be brought back.

Without land, there is no money and food. Relying on honor alone cannot satisfy the Ashikaga congregation. No money to talk about Jill's loyalty?

It would be great if Yoshiaki Nishi could appease the Ashikaga Muslims and not rebel. Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't even afford the starting fee for the army ladies to fight, so he could barely maintain it.

Therefore, the diplomatic service in charge of Wada Yoshiaki turned out to be the most powerful tool in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

If Oda Nobunaga can coerce and lure Wada Yuimsa to change his family, the foundation of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's dominance of the shogunate will be completely shaken.

The shogunate and the local power faction, Ashikaga Yoshiaki can not adjust.Ashikaga returned to the public, and she had no money to transfer.The Sakamoto Castle of Niki Yoshizawa is in Minami Omi, and Oda Nobunaga can besiege the castle and force him to surrender at any time.

Yoshiaki Ashikaga, a general whose prestige has fallen to the ground, what other cards can he play?She could only stare blankly as Oda Nobunaga went to Luo again, and came to Kyoto to make rules for her.

Hashiba Hideyoshi and Takenaka Shigeharu both understood, but they couldn't say much.

The daughter of Wada Yuichang is Oda Nobunaga's trump card for rebelling against Wada Yuisha.Hashiba Hideyoshi shouldn't have known about this, and revealing it to Takenaka Shigeharu was already a sign of trust in this military adviser.

After that, the two of them could only keep silent and never mention it again.

Thinking of Ashikaga Yoshiaki losing so badly, Hashiba Hideyoshi couldn't help sighing.

"If I knew today, why bother.

If it weren't for the general's malicious intentions, he deliberately kicked away the main hall during the Settsu Raiders, and incited riots among the Ise country's samurai family.

The main hall wouldn't fight back so viciously, without leaving any face for the general. "

Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head.

"At this point, it's useless to say these things. The general's last luck, only the return of the Jin Duo Hall, can make the hall have some scruples.

It's a pity that Jin Duodian was stranded in Kanto and never returned.It seems that Jin Duodian is also afraid of this capricious and ungrateful general, and he is unwilling to get mixed up with these bad things in Kyoto. "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's rule in the Settsu Kingdom collapsed, and she couldn't control the shogunate forces in Yamashiro.If you want to prevent Oda Nobunaga from going to Luo again, you can only rely on the strength of the few Siba collars.

In recent days, although Sibo Ling only has a mobilization force of [-] shi, the prestige of Sibo Yiyin is far beyond that of ordinary warriors.

If he is willing to come forward, the Izumi Hosokawa family, the Kita Omi Asai family, the Kitakowchi Mibuchi family, and the Minamikawachi Hatakeyama family will all express their views.

Even the nun group of Yamato country and the mercenaries of Kii country will be moved by the news.

If these powers can be gathered, even the Oda Nobunaga of the two million stone daimyo will be afraid and hesitate.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself did not do anything in personnel, and left Shibo Yoshiaki in Kyoto in a sad mood.

At the beginning it was you who wanted to separate, and you separated when you separated, but now you want to use giri to persuade people to come back, Ashikaga Yoshiaki must have thought too beautifully, right?
Shiba Yoshiyin hid in Kanto and did not show his face, and Shiba's leader did not get involved in the chaos in Kyoto in recent days.It's none of your business, hang on high, you mess around casually, if you take a second look, I'll lose.

Hashiba Hideyoshi mocked.

"The Hokuriku Road trade route is booming, and the Shibachu Fund is making money day by day.

I heard that Spoel leaders everywhere are busy buying food, and they are beaming to prepare for the mid-year welfare.At this time, who still cares about the Ashikaga general who is unwilling to be lonely in Nijo Castle?
It is said that from this year onwards, all the Ji warriors who came from the Shiba family will receive an annuity twice a year, and each time they will get a full three stones of brown rice.

Last year, Shiba received the first-ever annuity, and everyone was telling it as a joke, but Jin Dadian really gave out brown rice, and the samurai were speechless after watching it.

How many people are talking behind their backs, it is really a crime to distribute the white rice to the grassroots poor ghosts for free.He said he was not convinced, but he was envious and wished that he was the warrior Ji of the Shiba family.

It is said that some samurai families are already looking for ways to see if they can squeeze their heirs into the Jinjisibo collar, so as not to fight for the benefit, the sky will be struck by lightning.

However, it seems that the selection of Sipo's establishment has not yet come out.When it's time for the release, just wait and see how many samurai try to squeeze in. "

Takenaka Shigeharu was stunned and asked.

"In the entire Shiba vassal group, there are not [-] Ji warriors who have become officials, but there are also [-] people, right?
Everyone has to distribute six stones of brown rice. Where did the Sibo Zhong Fund get so much money and food? "

Hashiba Hideyoshi said.

"I was also very puzzled. When I went to Sakai Port to discuss cooperation, I asked Tsuda Zonghe to find out about it.

It was only later that I found out that the Sibo Zhong Fund was really rich and almost monopolized the most profitable commodity channel in Sakai Port.

Tsuda Zongji estimated that the scale of the Hokuriku Road trade route would reach more than [-] million kan this year. As the Shiba family's own industry, the Shiba Tada Fund would have at least a net profit of more than [-] kan.

Tsuda Zongji's merchant house has been in business for generations, and strives to become the top three businessmen in Sakai Port. The wealth accumulated over the years is only one year's income of the Shibazhong Fund. "

Hashiba Hideyoshi sounded envious, and the general samurai had a prejudice against merchants, but she was very keen and interested in commercial benefits.

she continued.

"In the Battle of Ozazama, Yoshimoto Imagawa was killed in a surprise attack at the main hall. The Imagawa family was later attacked and destroyed by the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family, and the Tokaido trade route that had been cultivated and cared for for many years was also in chaos.

Today's Tokaido is ruled by females, and there is no such thing as the grand occasion of previous business exchanges.The Hokuriku Road trade route replaced it, and it became more and more profitable. It really made people marvel at Jintaden's unique vision. "

Takenaka Shigeharu frowned slightly and asked.

"Does the palace know about these things?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi said.

"Of course the main hall knows that she has a lot of ideas about the Hokuriku Road trade route, which even caused Niwa Changhide-sama's uneasiness.

Niwa-sama expressed to me several times that he hoped that I would be cautious in doing things in Sakai Port and not have any misunderstandings with the Shiba family.

The Oda family has enough enemies, it's not worth it if they turn against the Shiba family for business interests.

But this matter is not easy to do, and you also know that Tsuda Zongji followed me.Her main business rival, Sohisa Imai, is the trader of the Shiba family on the Hokuriku Road trade route, and the two have deep conflicts.

I want to do something in Sakai Port, but I'm afraid I can't get around the Macho Moho, Takada Yono, who wants to offend Shiba's family. "

Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head.

"Nagahide-sama's concerns are not unreasonable, and not only in Sakai Port.

I heard that there has been a lot of trouble in Nanjinjiang recently. The main hall has adopted the policy of Leshi Lezuo. The local temples are very resentful, especially the always rebellious Yixiangzong, who is even more unconvinced.

Originally, the local business center was a temple fair, but the main hall decided to use the policy of Leshi Leza to transfer the business center to the castle town, so that the Oda family could collect more business taxes.

Moreover, the group of people who are responsible for the policy of Rakushi Leza are the believers of Nichiren Sect who were chased and killed by Yixiangzong in those days, and the escaped Owari survivors who were asked by Honnoji Nichigen to take in the main hall. "

Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded silently.

Commercial conflicts are superimposed on religious conflicts. As the most arrogant sect of Buddhism, Yixiangzong must not be able to swallow this breath.

No wonder Niwa Chohide, who was in charge of appeasing Minami Omi, was grey-haired. This Rakushi Leza policy was just the beginning, and then the policy of separation of peasants and soldiers followed up, and land seizures would be the big trouble.

It has been in chaos for more than a hundred years, how much land did the temple take to get more?If Oda Nobunaga asked the temple to return the cultivated land, the conflict between the two parties must be resolved by violence.

Hashiba Hideyoshi doesn't know whether the other sects are going crazy or not.But Omi Issuozong will never compromise. These Buddhist ladies are used to it, and they will not let the Oda family decide.

Hashiba Hideyoshi sighed.

"What a mess.

You don't know, the president Xiaonishi I met in Sakai Port, the saltpeter and lead she found were all high-quality Nanban products.

Tsuda Zongji wrote to me a while ago, saying that she found that the Nanman Cult was deeply involved in this matter, and was deliberately giving up the profits to the Oda family.

I'm really worried that one day there will be a conflict between the Oda family and the Ichiko clan, and the Nanban Church will take the opportunity to stir up trouble in the Settsu Kingdom. "

Takenaka Shigeharu laughed.

"It's not bad to be a little messy.

The Oda family lacks talents who understand Jinji, and the surrendered Omi samurai family has many conflicts with Owari Mino's veterans.

If you can make friends with the Omi Samurai, participate more in recent affairs, and help the hall solve problems, this will be an excellent opportunity for advancement.

If there weren't so many troubles, what's the point of you being crushed to death by those old courtiers in Owari? "

Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded and smiled.

"I understand, but I'm worried that the hall will be too aggressive and offend too many people at once, which will lead to a bad situation where all parties besiege the Oda family."

Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and said.

"Please believe in the hall, she will not fall here. Just like I believe in you, you will definitely soar into the sky."

Hashiba Hideyoshi glanced at Takenaka Shigeharu, couldn't help but smiled wryly, and sighed.

"I'm not so confident myself, and I don't know where you come from, why you have so much confidence in me."

Takenaka Shigeharu replied lightly.

"Of course I believe in you, because you are my chosen master."

Hashiba Hideyoshi's wry smile froze for an instant, bowed slightly to Takenaka Shigeharu, and said

"Thank you, thank you for believing in me."

Takenaka Shigeharu bowed in return, and the monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, continuing to discuss.
