Chapter 1357 Family affairs, state affairs and world affairs

The reason why Nobushige Sanada took down Tougatsuma back then was also because the Umino family's Yuo family had sheltered the Unino family for many years, and wanted to usurp the name of the Unino family and become a general leader.

As a result, Nobushige Sanada disturbed him a lot, and the old fox of the Uno family chose to believe in Nobushige Sanada, and the Yuo family suffered a complete defeat because of this. In the end, Toshige Umino killed the whole family.

Because of the constant disputes between the general leader and the branch relatives, after the Ashikaga shogunate, the tradition of leading the family that was popular in the Middle Ages gradually lost its inheritance and seemed out of date.

And the Date family can be favored by the Ashikaga family, and there is also the meaning that the Ashikaga family borrowed from the Date family to suppress the Ou family.

For example, the Nihonmatsu family that was killed by Masamune Date was the Hatakeyama branch, and the top two families in Osaki were the Shiba branch. It is said that they are all relatives of the Ashikaga family, and they both waved the flag for the leader of the same branch.

The Ashikaga shogunate is a relative of success and defeat, and most of the vitality of the shogunate center is consumed in the rivalry between relatives, which is also embarrassing.

But even so, a leader family is still the blood alliance that is the easiest to establish contact among the samurai family relationships that are deceitful.

Shiba Yoshiyin had no choice before, he was useless as the son of the exterminated family, and the powerful branch family would not even look at him.

But who knew, he actually got such a big name, and now some branch family members asked for help with faces.

As long as Yiyin is in charge, the two parties have established a primary and secondary relationship. Once he is approved by a leader, he can justifiably ask these relatives to cooperate with him.

The main territory of the Shibazong family is in the Echizen-Owari two countries, which have been usurped by the Asakura family and the Oda family for many years, and their influence has been completely lost.

Most of the remaining powerful branches are in the Ou area. Although these grassroots are unreliable, at least it is a good thing to be able to cheer for the Shiba family in the Ou area.

But to help, to help, Yiyin didn't want to be dragged into the water by these relatives, and his strength was consumed by the fringe area of ​​Oyu, he just wanted to use this to build his own influence, so he stopped.

he asked.

"In what name did Honjo Shigecho and Kaji Ketsuna enter Ou?"

Yamanaka Yukimori said.

"You had an order not to use the name of the Kanto servants, so they all intervened in the Ou Yu dispute on the grounds of personal grievances of the local samurai.

The four counties of Aizu saw each other between the Satake family and the Date family, and the water transport trade route of the Agano River was in turmoil, and a lot of money had been lost.

Especially after the Date family established an advantage, they imposed heavy taxes on caravans to subsidize military consumption.

The samurai family related to the business route of Zhongxiayue has long been dissatisfied. This time, under the leadership of Jiadijing Gang, everyone took advantage of the slack season after spring plowing to kill the Date family to show some color.

With this lesson, I believe that the customs tax card for the commercial route from Aganogawa to Aizu will be more restrained.

As for Honjo Shigecho, she actually had some troubles with the Mogami family in the Shonai area.

The dealer has a good relationship with the samurai in the Shonai area, but after the Mogami family took over here, they have been looking for reasons to cleanse the local samurai and erode the benefits here.

The Shonai Plain is close to the northern part of the Shimoetsu area, and it is also the mouth of the most Kamigawa River. It has a port and an alluvial plain. It is a big piece of fat.

Honjo Shigeru has been earning a lot of money since she received your gift from Shimotsu to Shonai, so she is very dissatisfied with Mogami's arrogance in the Shonai area.

This time she was willing to send troops to help, and the Mogami family also expressed goodwill. The conflicts in the Shonai area should be eased a lot. "

Yi Yin nodded.

He didn't care how Xiayuezhong was arguing with the Ou Yu family for the benefit of the trade route, in his eyes it was a small problem.Ao Yu seems to have a large territory, but he may not be able to handle those unruly guys.

Because Ouyu is mostly permafrost, it is impossible to reclaim too much land, so there is not enough population.In the era of agriculture lacking fuel, without enough population and food, it is doomed not to be strong.

Looking at the map, the name of Unifying Ouyu seems to be shocking and has the ambition to sweep the world, but in fact it is just bragging, and it can't be taken seriously.The only way to develop the potential of the Sendai Plain is to wait until industrialization.

Therefore, Yoshihiro is not going to spend too much energy in Ou, and his focus is still on the Kanto Plain, which can burst out huge grain production through land reclamation and water conservancy construction.

Yamanaka Yukimori continued.

"The three families of Mogami, Osaki, and Satake hinted through Honjo Shigecho and Kaji Ketsuna that they want to come to see you.

Date Masamune also seemed to have learned from the painful experience, and wrote to the Kanto Office, saying that he had admired your prestige and character for a long time, and hoped to have the opportunity to see the sky. "

Yiyin shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Look, the party who has benefited wants to entangle me to continue to gain benefits, and the party whose interests have been harmed immediately reacts and wants to move closer to me.

Let me just say, Ou Yu and other samurai do not have a fuel-efficient lamp.

The Shiba family only wants to borrow my light, and the Date family is planning to restore the old affairs and apply the respect to General Ashikaga to me.

I will disappear, let them settle down.

On the contrary, the Satake family from Hitachi is also a help to my layout in Guanbazhou.I'll think about it again, whether I should give some courtesy. "

While talking, Yoshihiro had already put on his clothes, Yamanaka Yukimori Kyoko opened the door, and the two walked out of the room one after another.

Talking in simple terms indoors, the sun is already setting outside, and it really takes time if you have good physical strength.

In the distance, the loyal and reliable Gamo clan finally waited for the lord to come out, stepped forward hurriedly, bowed and handed over two documents.

"Jin Dadian, the deliberation records of the Shiba leader in the past few days, together with the relevant decision request from Mr. Nizi Katsuhisa, have been delivered to the Tongxin Secretariat. Please read the decision.

In addition, the confidentiality team's summary of the latest information in recent days has also arrived, and it is urgent. "

After receiving the two documents, Yoshihiro turned around and said helplessly to Yamanaka Yukimori.

"Stealing Fusheng for half a day, now I have to compete with these troublesome things on the copybook."

As he said that, he simply sat on the porch and looked at it, but the more he looked, the more he frowned.

Seeing this, Yamanaka Yukimori asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, has something happened recently?"

On the side, Kamo Shigo squinted his eyes slightly, feeling that Yamanaka Xingsheng was arrogant and arrogant, and his words were a bit presumptuous.

It seems that the seeds buried deep in her heart are gradually sprouting. Gamo's township is becoming more and more uncomfortable with the matter of guarding the door, but what right does she have to complain?
If you expose your own thoughts, it may make the lord suspicious and alienate yourself, so why bother.

Yoshihiro didn't know how hard he was reading the letter, but a word from Yamanaka Yukimori caused thousands of thoughts to flash in Kamo's heart.

His attention was on the content of the document, and he sighed.

"Akechi Mitsuhide had some conflicts with Maeda interest, and Maeda interest was tricked again. Hmm? Why did I say again?

In short, Mitsuhide Akechi, hey, let’s not talk about her, I get a headache when I talk about her.This is a trivial matter, I will reprimand them each later, and let them settle down a little bit.

On the contrary, a major event happened in Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga went to Luo again, and set harsh nine terms for the general, restricting the general's actions.

What's more, Oda Nobunaga actually forced the general to recognize her as the imperial mother, and participated in the shogunate administration in the name of helping the general, officially intervening in the shogunate politics. "

Hearing that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was unlucky, Yamanaka Yukimori smiled like a flower, but said insincerely.

"His Royal Highness Oda is really daring. Isn't she afraid that her disrespect to the general will cause the martial arts all over the world to be filled with righteous indignation and besiege the Oda family?"

Yoshigin glanced at the gloating Yamanaka Yukimori, and the warriors under his command didn't like Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Especially the important ministers who love Yoshihiro, they can be said to hate Ashikaga Yoshiaki for forcing Yoshiaki to become a monk and keep his chastity.

At this moment, Yamanaka Yukimori didn't applaud openly. It was Yoshiyin who brainwashed these people every day and asked them to pay attention to respecting the shogunate.

The Shiba family is loyal to the shogunate, abides by etiquette, and appeals to justice. It can't be that the retainers are a group of rebels, calling the general stupid every day, right?Be low key.

As a result, now everyone is learning to speak in a strange way, and it sounds like they respect the general, but after careful consideration, it seems that this is not the case.

In this regard, Yiyin could only shake his head and continue.

"Since the death of the ancestors, the general ran me out of the capital again, and the samurai families in the shogunate began to take the shogunate affairs seriously. Who among the foreign vassals would care about the majesty of the shogunate?

Even if the siege of Oda really happened, it would not be a fight for the shogunate. The shame of the general is just a fig leaf for the joint efforts of various daimyos. "

Yamanaka Yukimori nodded and asked.

"Is Your Majesty going back to the nearest few days to preside over the overall situation?"

Yiyin snorted.

"Go back to what?
Mrs. Gongfang was so humiliated by Oda Nobunaga. With her personality, this resentment account will probably be recorded on me. Who made me dare to hide in Kanto and watch her be humiliated?

Since we are not in the same way, we should cherish each other and go our own way.If Mr. Gongfang wants to get rid of the shame, he should feel at ease and ask others for help, so I won't go back and add trouble to her. "

Yamanaka Yukimori sneered.

"What an Ashikaga general with a strategy in mind and a deep understanding of righteousness."

Yiyin glanced at her and said.

"Be careful with your mouth, although I'm just a cheap son-in-law who broke out, I'm also an Ashikaga family, the elder of Genji.

If you don't want to show respect to General Ashikaga, you have to worry about my face, think about the outside world's evaluation of me, and pay attention to your own attitude. "

Although Yamanaka Yukimori didn't think so, he still bowed and agreed.

"Yes, Jinda hall."

Yiyin threw the document to Gamo's Township and said.

"The secretariat drafted a reply letter to Nizi Shengjiu. I am very touched that she can sympathize with the king's benevolence and righteousness. The law of chopping a grain of rice is decided by the locality itself.

In addition, tell her that I trust her, let her do things freely, and don't always be scruples.I know the virtues of those people in Sibo in the past few days, and I will understand her difficulty.

In addition, I informed Ishida Mitsunari that I am very satisfied with her decisiveness in implementing the food stamp system, and let her make persistent efforts and not slack off.

Although the food stamp system is only [-]% of the trial in Shibaling in the past few days, you can first send the relevant documents of food stamp operation and one-grain rice chopping to Owari and Kanto Shibaling, so that all regions can make preparations first.

As for Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Mitsuhide, I will personally write a letter to teach them a lesson, and don't mention their crap in the official letter. "

Pusheng's Township respectfully accepted the document, listened carefully to Yiyin's request, and bowed to accept the order.

Yiyin is very satisfied with Nizi Shengjiu's approach.

One's own personality is a kind of wealth, but also a kind of burden. If the cruel law of chopping a grain of rice is ordered by oneself, it will inevitably affect the image of a benevolent elder.

Therefore, he acquiesced to Shiba Ling's actions in recent days, and also hinted that Ishida Mitsunari would go to inform Kanto, Owari Shiba Ling would follow up, and he could stay out of the matter and be a benevolent person.

Yiyin is not as perceptive as Akechi Mitsuhide, and he thinks about the worst in everything. For the time being, he has not thought of the hidden danger that local self-decrees may encroach on the power of the central government in the future.

As for the main battle between Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Yoshihisa, although Niko Katsuhisa's words were vague, Yoshigin could see it at a glance.

Maeda Yili must have been caught by Akechi Mitsuhide for something, otherwise, with her temper, she would never have confessed so honestly.

Now that Yiyin has set the general strategic direction of keeping a low profile and biding his time, Maeda's interest can only be blamed for being caught by someone's tail.

But from an emotional point of view, it is inevitable that Yiyin will hate Akechi Mitsuhide's tricks.This bastard doesn't like unity and harmony, and always likes to use her weakness to force others to do what she wants.

This habit is very bad, and Yiyin himself has many bad memories, and it can be said that he has suffered a lot from it.

So even in this matter, Akechi Mitsuhide's position is more in line with Yoshihiro's strategic vision, but he still chooses to play [-] big boards each, in fact, he is pulling sideways to help Maeda's interests.

By doing this, Maeda Yili will be delighted that the lord is interested in him.As for Akechi Mitsuhide, this bastard has long been so thick-skinned that no blood can be seen when a dagger is pierced in, and he doesn't care about gaining or losing face.

But at the official level, the two are naturally in harmony with each other and are dedicated to the public. The unity of Shiba's retainers is really touching, and outsiders should not let outsiders see the joke.

Yiyin realized that he was becoming more and more good at doing such messy things. He sat on the porch and took a few deep breaths before recovering.

I don't know if it's because the fight with Yukimori Yamanaka was too intense just now and I'm tired, or because I'm sick of seeing my ability to pretend to be confused is getting better and better.

Yi Yin waved to Gamo Clan, Gamo Clan bowed and left, and went back to draft the order that Yi Yin ordered.

After Kamo Shigo left, Yoshigin stood up from the porch, hugged Yamanaka Yukimori beside him, and whispered in her ear.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

Yamanaka Yukimori shuddered and looked up at Yoshiyin.

"Your Majesty is leaving now?"

Yiyin smiled wryly.

"Now I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching my whereabouts outside. This time I can come to Tochio Castle because of the cooperation between the Samurai Giri Promotion Association and Kamakura Gozan, and the platform endorsement.

Now that the matter has been resolved, if I stay a few more days, there will be suspicions again. "

Yamanaka Yukimori pursed his lips, bit his lower lip, and said in a low voice.

"This subordinate is dull, does your lord still want to give me some strategic details about the Kanto Office tonight?"
