Chapter 1514 The First Snow in Early Winter
The news of Kanto has spread to recent days, and it is already late autumn and early winter.

In the Shiba Mansion in Kyoto, Yoshihiro shook his head as he looked at the dreary scene of art trees in the courtyard and the report document from Kanto in his hand.

After a while, he stood up, threw the document to Gamo Shixiang, sat back in the head seat, leaned on the brazier and stretched his fingers that were a little stiff from reading the document.

"Take it back to the Tongxin Secretariat and file it."

"Hi."

"Summon back to the Kanto Chamber of Commerce, next year's non-permanent directors, let's arrange the top three Ji warriors on the candidate list."

Gamo's Township hesitated slightly.

"Hi."

Yiyin glanced at her and said.

"What? Do you have an idea?"

Gamo's Township said.

"Your Majesty, the first three are Daidoji Shengshang, the fourth-generation veteran of the Hojo family, Daizo Changan from the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, and Murakami Yoshiki from Beixin. They don't seem to be suitable candidates."

Yiyin laughed.

"According to your opinion, the three non-permanent directors this year are suitable?

Ogasawara was always submissive, Oda Ujiji was cautious, and Sanada Nobushige was bold, she made Umamo Asohide almost furious, and didn't talk about superiority or inferiority at all.

The most important authority of the Guandong Chamberlain, the Standing Council has been open for one year. Has anything been accomplished?The light was viewed as an after-dinner joke.

But that's fine too, as long as everyone thinks that the Guandong Servant is a mess, and they can get a share of it, the platform of the Guandong Servant will be recognized by more people.

Power is not the best thing to hold firmly in one's own hands.Power is sweet and hot.Dividing power out is actually distributing troubles.

Kanto has been in chaos since the collapse of the Kamakura shogunate.

Even though the Ashikaga shogunate dispatched Kanto generals to govern the ten countries of the Kanto, the Kamakura Ashikaga family never really settled the eight states of the samurai family, let alone the wider Kanto land.

300 years of chaos, 150 years of chaos, endless wars have already destroyed the arrogance of the Kanto samurai family, only the weeds at both ends of the snake mouse can survive in this land.

If I want to transform Kanto, it is impossible to count on these cunning Ji warriors in Kanto. The chaos of 300 years has eliminated the good money from bad money and completely wiped out all the loyal Ji warriors.

Only treacherous people, only selfish people can survive in the land of Kanto. This is the tragedy of the Wu family.

When I rebuilt the political system that was discussed by the imperial family, I didn't want to rely on the current Kanto Ji samurai, and they were indeed unreliable. I was actually waiting for their children to grow up.

The successors of the samurai family who grew up under the new system will know more about samurai righteousness than these old foxes now, and they will cherish the political status quo discussed by the samurai family even more.

Before the new generation of Kanto Hime samurai who believe in Shiba's new ideas grow up, I just hope that the Kanto Office will be peaceful and not cause any trouble.

As long as the Kanto Servant can survive ten years safely, I can peacefully change the thinking of the entire Kanto Samurai Group.

Therefore, we must take a long-term view, don't worry about it for a while, and know how to be tolerant.

With the one-vote veto power of the three permanent directors, I have the power to veto all unrealistic decisions of the Guandong Chamberlain, and the most basic political system will not be shaken.

As for their mutual intrigue and self-interest, that's all human nature, I can't stop it, and I don't want to stop it.

There are three non-permanent directors in this session, two are decorations, and one is a scoundrel who caused trouble.

No matter how bad the next session is, can it be worse than this one?I don't think so. "

Pusheng's hometown kowtowed to the ground and said.

"The emperor is far-sighted and far-sighted, and the ministers are far inferior.

It's just that I feel weird in my heart. The order of the candidate list must be the result of a fierce game, these three people. .strangeness. "

Yiyin snorted.

"What's weird.

During the Takeda conquest, the Hojo clan actively cooperated with the Kanto Servant to send troops, making Takeda Shingen ashamed.

The Hojo family has always done things without profit and did not get up early. The Hojo clan worked so hard, could it be that they admired me, the elder Genji?
I reckon that Uesugi Kenshin must have promised a lot of benefits to the Hojo clan government in exchange for the Hojo clan's big move.

Originally, I didn't know what kind of benefits Kenshin Uesugi had promised to the Hojo family, but now I understand that he is a non-permanent director.

Daodaoji Shengchang assisted the fourth Hojo family governor, one of the Hojo family's six Oyuo families, and served as the Kawagoe Castle generation, guarding the most important stronghold of the Musashi Kingdom for the Hojo family.

The Hojo Clan's appointment of her to the Standing Council must be to use the veteran's ability to pave the way for the Hojo family to integrate into the Kanto Chamber through a one-year non-permanent directorship.

I am very happy that the Hojo family chose to actively join the Kanto servant system instead of secretly fighting against the Kanto servant system.

No matter how much benefits the Hojo Clan can take from the Kanto Chamberlain, as long as she is willing to play under the rules of this new system, it will be my victory. "

Gamo Shixiang nodded in understanding.

Yoshiin is the rule maker of the entire system of the Kanto Chamberlain. Even if the Hojo clan plays too well and wins more, as long as the Hojo family agrees with this set of game rules, Yoshihiro will be the biggest winner.

It's like no matter how high a gambler is, she can't beat the dealer, because the rules of the game are set by the dealer, which naturally suppresses the gambler.

As long as the gamblers are willing to play, the banker will open the door to welcome them, because the banker will never suffer.

Gamo's Township said again.

"Nobushige Sanada's nomination of Dazang Chang'an, I also heard a little bit.

But she actually has the energy to promote Dazang Chang'an to Sequence No. 2. I never expected that there is something hidden in this? "

Gamo's hesitation stems from his ignorance of Sanada Nobushige's strength.The power of this mountain girl has expanded too fast, right?Already able to wrestle with Daxiong Chaoxiu?

Yiyin smiled wryly with a hint of reproach, and looked towards Gamo's Township.

"You still can't figure it out? I'm going to blame you for this.

I wrote to the Kanto Chamberlain, asking why these guys wanted to attack my daughter, and what kind of Takeda conquest.

Daxiong Chaoxiu was so frightened that he wrote back to explain the truth, selling Yukimori Yamanaka, Katsuo Shima, and Nobushige Sanada.

Yamanaka Yukimori, the old boss of the concentric group, where did she know about this?Don't you have any points in mind?

Do you think Dazang Changan was brought up by Nobushige Sanada?If Nobushige Sanada had the ability to slap Okuma Asohide in the face, he wouldn't have mobilized thousands of people desperately, and would have used military exploits to protect himself. "

Gamo's face became red.

"After all, Yamanaka Yukimori is the old boss of me and Ii Naomasa, and some people in the Tongxin Secretariat still remember this kind of incense.

After I go back, I will definitely investigate this matter and will not let this happen again. "

Gamo Shigo finally understands. It turns out that Nobushige Sanada is not the one who is superior in Dazang Changan, but Yukimori Yamanaka and Katsuo Shima who put eye drops on Okuma Asohide behind their backs and deliberately supported her opponent.

Okuma Asohide was the first to slander, Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo used Sanada Nobushige in the front as their spearmen, and counterattacked Okuma Asohide without showing any traces.

There is not a simple person in the senior management of the Guandong Waiting Office, everyone is not easy to mess with, and if they are not careful, they will be beaten with a sap.

Nobushige Sanada was used as a gun, and Gamo's hometown is another gun.

How did Yamanaka Yukimori know the secret letter written by Daxiong Chaoxiu to Yiyin?Isn't this a problem with the Tongxin Secretariat?

Pu Sheng's heart was awe-inspiring, and he was about to go back to tidy up the Tongxin Secretariat, but Yi Yin shook his head and sighed.

"Sophisticated, can you stop it?
As long as everyone is friendly, don't do everything, and don't play that cold and heartless role, causing people to hate you.

Especially Naomasa Jingi, that stubborn girl, just don't let her know, otherwise, with her intolerant character, there will be another disturbance.

I know that Tongxin Secretariat is very clean and loyal to me.

But when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and you can't keep the news from the local high-level officials, otherwise they will be more panicked and hostile to the Tongxin Secretariat.

It's fine as it is now, they fight against them, your Tongxin Secretariat maintains a detached and high profile, and it's okay to reveal a little bit of news. "

Yiyin understood very well in his heart that the samurai society is a society of personal relationships, and these Ji samurai in Shibo's family associate with each other based on seniority, mountain tops, and grouping.

To expect these ancients to be disciplined is like expecting them to serve the government wholeheartedly, which is simply unrealistic.

Instead of letting all local forces put their vigilance on the Tongxin Secretariat, it is better to give them a little chance to infiltrate.

As long as the Tongxin Secretariat is not inhumane, and can communicate through human relations, the local forces will breathe a sigh of relief.

There are also many conflicts between local forces. As long as it is confirmed that the Tongxin Secretariat can win over and communicate with each other, then the local forces will naturally use the power of the Tongxin Secretariat to fight each other.

In this way, the Tongxin Secretariat will be able to divide and disintegrate local forces, instead of standing on the opposite side of all local forces, and being hostile by everyone whenever something happens, making it difficult to move an inch.

Yiyin worked hard, hoping to maintain a balance between the central government and the local government. Naturally, he did not want Gamo and Naomasa Ii to use the leak to clean up the Tongxin Secretariat and turn them into a lone minister and a widow.

Gamo's Township understands the kindness of the king, so he can only sigh and change the subject, and ask.

"Then Yoshiki Murakami?"

Yi Yin said.

"When I promoted Ogasawara last year, someone put Yoshiki Murakami in the top three this year, what do you mean?
I once promised that the seniors of the Guandong Chamberlain have worked hard without credit, and the non-permanent directors of the previous three years must have a place for the elderly.

You see, isn't someone reminding me not to forget my original intention?

Yoshiki Murakami is also considered an old man. She joined the Uesugi retainer group after the Battle of Kawanakajima, but she is a marginal figure outside the Echigo Samurai group, and I also gave her the dignity of the united front.

Ogasawara and Murakami Yoshiki have guarded Beixin together for a long time, so I can't favor one over another, can I?Since Ogasawara can serve as a non-permanent director for a long time, why not Yoshiki Murakami?

You see, the top three Daodaoji Shengchang, Dazang Changan, and Murakami Yoshiki have been clearly arranged. They are indeed the most suitable candidates to become non-permanent directors next year.

What reason do I have to disagree? "

Gamo's village was speechless, she finally understood the meaning of Yiyin's high place, which was extremely cold.

Everyone is staring at him, everyone is plotting against him.Whether it's a confidant or an outsider, they all count on him to get benefits from him. Can he live without being tired?

Gamo's Township couldn't help sighing, and shook his head sadly, deeply feeling what it means to be a king.

Yiyin thought deeper than Gamo's hometown.

Daodaoji Shengchang is Uesugi Kenshin's return to the Hojo clan, and Murakami Yoshiki is a peripheral powerful samurai subordinate to Uesugi's vassal group.

From this point of view, not only the Hojo clan is actively integrating into the Kanto Office, but Uesugi Kenshin is also trying his best to infiltrate the Kanto Office.

As the two strongest daimyos in Kanto, the strategic changes of the Uesugi and Hojo families will profoundly affect the political orientation of other Kanto samurai.

Yoshigin couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of the Kwantung general Ashikaga Yoshiji who was under Furukawa's command in Shimosō.

The speed at which the Kanto system was replaced by the Kanto attendants seemed to be faster than Yiyin himself imagined.

Perhaps in a few years, there will be no samurai in the entire Kanto who still remembers the Kanto general, and the Kamakura Ashikaga family will also become a passing cloud, dust of history.

Yi Yin laments that the world is changing much faster than he imagined.Maybe the system's perverted task of returning to the Kanto Qingming World will be completed one day, instead of being stalemate and not daring to fail.

At this moment, the first snowflakes in early winter rolled up in the courtyard, which attracted Yiyin's gaze.

Footsteps were heard on the porch, and Mitsuhide Akechi appeared in front of him, bowing.

"Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent. The Oda Army marched out with [-] troops to attack the Echizen Kingdom, and they have always been defeated.

The General of Vietnam Central Committee Xiajian Laizhao was defeated and captured. His Royal Highness Oda ordered to beheaded for public display.

Headed by Asakura Keiken, the Echizen local samurai who had always surrendered, could not get His Highness Oda's understanding, and were all required to perform seppuku. "

Yiyin sighed and watched the first snow fall from the sky.Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, and these trashes from Zong Yikui didn't last until it snowed after all.

He bragged so much that he wanted to establish some kind of Buddhist kingdom on the ground, and he wanted to compete with the Wu family. He really met the overlord of the Wu family, and he was useless.

Oda Nobunaga came out in full force this time, mobilizing 10 horses, and even newly recruited samurai such as Isano Masaru and Aguan Sadasaki from Kita Omi were asked to join the army.

Obviously, she is going to put all her eggs in one basket to get rid of Echizen's unyielding situation before the spring of next year, so as to make a good start for the future strategic layout.

If Shimoma Raizhao and Shichiri Raizhou were blocked by heavy snow on the Hokuriku Road, the Oda Army would have no choice but to retreat.Next year, the snow will melt in the spring, and the Kwantung Allied Forces will come to help in the battle, and the Oda Army will not dare to be so presumptuous.

Unfortunately. .

In just a few months, Echizen Ichikui was defeated by the Oda army, which made Oda Nobunaga's great reputation for nothing, and also made it more difficult for Yoshihiro to dispatch troops next year.

Oda Nobunaga took over the Echizen Kingdom again. The original Asakura former minister leaders either died of internal strife, or were killed by Ichigoku, and the last few were asked to cut seppuku by Oda Nobunaga.

Echizen Kingdom's 50 shi, except for Tsuruga County, which is not under the control of Oda Nobunaga, the rest is already in her pocket.

The vitality accumulated by the Asakura family for five generations has completely disappeared, leaving only a blank Echizen Kingdom, which is convenient for Oda Nobunaga to relocate.
