different warring states of japan

Chapter 1570

Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsumo quickly reached a consensus through just one letter, and they sided with Akechi Mitsuhide.

Behind the seemingly absurdity, it directly points to the core issue of governance. Who does the regime belong to?
How did the Zhu Ming dynasty collapse?From the Little Ice Age?Originated from internal and external troubles?

The demise of Zhu Ming began in Jiajing, and in Wanli, the entire empire has already fallen into confusion.

The emperor doesn't feel that he is the master of the country. If he goes out, he will be scolded to death by all the officials. How can there be such a useless master in the world?

The clan doesn't feel responsible for the country either. They are raised as pigs by the court and guarded by officials as thieves. They don't even think about checking their theoretical fiefdoms. They can only starve with dead wages.

Civil officials also feel that this shit country does my shit. The emperor hates you and scolds you every day, and even sends Jinyi Weidong Factory to whip you.

The frontier army thinks that this day is impossible, and they want the horses to run, but they don't feed the horses. They eat the soil and drink the wind, and guard the courtyard for the court. ah!
The entire ruling class of Zhu Ming, from the emperor, clan, civil and military officials, all felt that this country was not their own and had nothing to do with them.

Can such a country not collapse?
The most important thing about a regime is that those in power have the awareness of being the masters of the country, recognize that the regime belongs to them, and have the subjective initiative to maintain the regime.

If the master is no longer the master, no matter how gorgeous the slogan is, he still has to face the embarrassment of disintegration.

The core point of Akechi Mitsuhide's letter is to maintain Shiba Yoshigin's status as a god, which is equivalent to maintaining the detached status of a descendant of a god.

For the Ji warriors who love Sibo Yiyin, sharing the bed with the king, giving birth to children, and obtaining the status of divine descendants are their most realistic goals at this stage.

On the basis of this consensus, all participants are obliged to maintain the identity of the descendants of the gods.

Therefore, the god-descendant consciousness that sprouted will soon give birth to the core ruling class of the new samurai regime, the Shiba god-descendant group.

This is the reason Shima Katsuki agrees with Akechi Mitsuhide and rushed to persuade Yamanaka Yukimori.

As the core of the Shiba Wu family group, the descendants of the gods must be drafted as soon as possible, and the descendants of the gods must remain united.

Only when everyone is willing to unite and tacitly maintain the sanctity of Sibo Yiyin can the legitimate rights and interests of the various families of the descendants of the gods be assured.

In particular, Takeda Uesugi's family has already succeeded, and they have Shibo Yoshiyin's daughter, and the important officials in the family who love Shibo Yoshiyin are even more nervous.

At this moment, defeating the Oda family, obtaining more rewards, and expanding one's own power are no longer important.

The most important thing now is to put Junshang on the altar, and then everyone will work together to allocate the days and get pregnant together as soon as possible.

All major events in the world must be done with love.

If you don't have the ability to conceive, then protecting the common interests of the descendants of the gods is to make wedding dresses for others.

As Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo moved into action, the Kwantung Allied Forces began to turn internally.

The two of them who hold the standing council of the Kanto Chamber of Commerce have enough bargaining chips to trade with various Kanto houses.

After handling the Kanto families, Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsutoshi first wrote to Shiba Yoshiyin.

On the grounds that he could not break through the Echizen Kingdom and could only watch Junshang fight alone in Yuwu Lake, he sincerely pleaded guilty and voluntarily gave up all the rewards after the war.

Then, the heads of the various Kwantung coalition forces wrote letters, pleading guilty, all saying that they had no merit and dared not claim an inch of land.

Most of the people in charge of the Kanto families in the military are not the head of the family. They have no courage to give up the reward, and their willingness to give up the land reward is already the best result after the game transaction between the two sides.

The Kwantung Allied Forces sang praises together, hyping Shiba Yoshiin's power in Yuwu Lake, and everyone used the word "sage" in their letters.

There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that there is a great sage in the west, who is self-confident without speaking, without order but without chaos, so towering that he stands alone outside the three realms, he is called the Buddha.

All members of the Kwantung Allied Forces shouted loudly and shouted at the saint, tantamount to acknowledging Shiba Yoshihim's identity as an inhuman and true god.

At this time, the pressure came to the side of the coalition forces.

Akechi Mitsuhide was negotiating with the Oda family in Nagahama Castle. Maeda’s interest was still hesitating, but Hosokawa Fujitaka had already jumped out decisively and made a clear statement on behalf of the Hosokawa family, rejecting the post-war reward.

Hosokawa Fujitaka's reason is also very good.

In the last few days of the Allied Forces, everyone has seen Shiba Yiyin calling the wind and rain in Yuwu Lake. Whether this battle was won by humans or by divine power, everyone knows clearly in their hearts.

The Hosokawa family did not dare to covet the achievements of the heavens, let alone disrespect the saints, and took the initiative to reject all gifts in order to respect the gods.

With Hosokawa Fujitaka's jump, Maeda Yoshitoshi immediately felt a sense of crisis.

Maeda Masaki is not an idiot, the Hosokawa family is famous for eating Nakayaki, how many benefits have they reaped from the Shiba family over the years, when was it embarrassing?

In this battle, the number of troops sent by the Hosokawa family is second only to the Shiba family, and the contribution is not small.Hosokawa Fujitaka wiped his face and gave up all the rewards. Could there be no problem behind this?No wonder!
Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuki in the distance instigated the Kwantung Allied Forces to submit a letter, and Hosokawa Fujitaka who was nearby decisively jumped out to support, and Maeda Mashiro's eyes had already been fixed on Nagahama Castle's Akechi Mitsuhide.

Although Akechi Mitsuhide was not around, this matter was definitely related to that black-bellied fox.

But even knowing that Akechi Mitsuhide was behind the scenes, Maeda Mashiro had no choice but to react immediately and support without hesitation.

If she hesitates again, it is estimated that Owari Shiba and Maeda Toshiie's letter will arrive soon.

Elevating Shiba Yoshigin to the altar is intended to be the common interest of the God-descendant family Hime Samurai.

Even if Akechi Mitsuhide discussed with Maeda Mitsuhide himself, Maeda Mitsuhide would agree, but maybe he would give Akechi Mitsuhide a little color.

At this moment, Akechi Mitsuhide put himself completely aside, and the pressure was all on Maeda Yili, the near general, making Maeda Yili aggrieved and helpless, and he didn't dare to procrastinate.

Following Maeda's interest, he took the initiative to meet Shibo Yoshiyin, and begged the king to spare his family's reward.The trend of rejecting favors and respecting the gods has finally formed the general trend.

Yanjin City, residence hall.

Yiyin didn't expect that before he started worrying about the post-war rewards, things would have fermented and developed to the current state.

In front of him were Hatakeyama Takamasa and Ninagawa Okino who came to see him, and they represented the shogunate samurai who participated in the war this time.

The shogunate samurai have always only taken advantage of the advantages and not the disadvantages. Now they are being squeezed by the interests of Hosokawa Fujitaka and Maeda, and they are forced to give up the post-war rewards. Naturally, they are unwilling.

Hatakeyama Takamasa is in charge of the shogunate, and Ninagawa is the acting official of the government office, representing the interests of the local faction and the shogunate, and came to Yoshigin to intercede.

In the face of the general situation, they didn't dare to be fools with mantis arms and carts. They chattered for a long time, but they were all nonsense.

Yiyin was tired of hearing this, so he had to take the initiative to point it out, he said.

"I understand your thoughts. Rewarding the public is the cornerstone of the martial arts, and you must not tamper with it.

Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu were messing around fiercely, and Hosokawa Fujitaka and Maeda Yoshiki followed suit, jumping out one by one to kidnap Zhu Ji with morality, it was too much! "

Ninagawa bowed and said.

"Holy One, Maeda Hosokawa and the two lords are in awe of your majesty, and willingly give up your reward, how can it be said that there is something wrong?
If it is only for me, I should worship the saints, follow them, and give up all the rewards.

However, the Ninagawa family's dispatch of troops this time is to recruit loyal and righteous people in the name of the saint.

Now that the fighting has ceased, the soldiers in the army will suffer a lot of injuries. If there is no reward to appease the righteous, I am afraid that the hearts of the righteous will be chilled. "

Ninagawa did not dare to speak ill of Hosokawa Maeda and the others. Who knows why this trend was suddenly stirred up, the water behind it was too deep.

The Ninagawa family has been able to survive from three generations of generals to today's family business, because they are strictly cautious.

Ninagawa was unwilling to give up the reward, but the name of the saint was loudly shouted.

Yoshihiko Shiba wants to follow the way of Shinto, and become a god in the world. The Ninagawa family immediately kowtows and calls him a saint. He will never fall behind others.

After all, Hatakeyama Takamasa was not as flexible as Ninagawa's own old fox, and his face was still a little tangled at the moment.

Back then, she was a proud and proud prodigal daughter, Yamanaka Xingsheng was almost hunted by her in the street, and she snatched her home.

At this moment, someone pinned his head and called him a saint, and the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't get out.

When Yoshigin's eyes turned away from Ninagawa's side, Hatakeyama Takamasa shuddered, and suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed.

"My lord, the foreign minister is in the same dilemma as Ninagawa-sama, I implore the sage for mercy."

A person whose spine has softened once will never be able to straighten again.The Hatakeyama family is not what it used to be, and Hatakeyama Takamasa has learned to grovel, so naturally he can bend again and again.

Yiyin sighed helplessly, when did he say that he would not give a reward?It's all Hosokawa below, and Maeda and the two are bluffing, causing panic.

But that's good too, originally Yiyin was worried that the Wu family was greedy for land and refused to reward the land, lest someone would be dissatisfied because of it.

Now that there is such a fuss, no one will care about the land reward anymore, and it would be great if the reward can be paid off with money and food.

The Kwantung Allied Forces have been settled by Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo, and they have made it clear that they want money and food. It is estimated that the Allied Forces will agree to only take money and food in recent days.

As for the letters from Yamanaka, Shima, Hosokawa, and Maeda, Yoshigin would not agree.

Rewards must be given, just based on everyone's performance of respecting the gods, calling Yiyin a saint, Yiyin, the living god, will have to give out a lot of red envelopes.

The Shiba family is short of money and food, and they are not short of money and food.

The lack of it is because the Shiba family mainly relies on credit to maintain their economy, and their own territory does not produce much money and food.

There is no shortage, because the Hokuriku Road system headed by the Shiba family is complete, and the purchasing power of Shiba food stamps is strong. In theory, there is still a lot of room for the money printing machine to continue playing from the limit.

Therefore, as long as the samurai from the Shibo camp participating in the war are willing to accept money and food rewards and not pursue land rewards, Yiyin can satisfy them.

But the land is the favorite of warrior Ji. If the land is lacking in the reward of military exploits, it is like eating without salt, and the food is tasteless.

Fortunately, after such a fuss, the matter of land rewards was finally over.

Yiyin smiled wryly and shook his head.

"I really don't know what you are worried about?
Loyal and righteous people go through fire and water for the samurai world, shed blood and sacrificed, would I, Shiba Yoshihim, be stingy with rewards? "

Ninagawa and Takamasa Hatakeyama looked up together, looking at Yoshigin in surprise.

Yi Yin sighed and continued.

"There should be no land reward. Although Oda Nobunaga lost the battle, he still has strength, and I don't want to push people too much.

As long as she is willing to admit her mistakes, change her ways, and stop weakening the dominance of the threatening Wu family, I can tolerate her.

Therefore, there should not be much land negotiated in this negotiation, and the families should not expect the land to be rewarded.

But the money and food spent by each family sending troops, and the compensation due to the death and injury of loyal people, I will not miss you.

I have ordered the Tongxin Secretariat to start counting military merits and calculating rewards. All in all, I will give everyone a satisfactory answer. "

Hatakeyama Takamasa and Ninagawa Okino breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, they were finally able to go back and give an explanation to the people below, thank you gratefully.

"The grace of the saint, the whole army must be grateful."

Yiyin couldn't help being a little funny in his heart, if there hadn't been such a commotion, it would be hard to say if he didn't reward the land.

The current situation is like a political trick of two steps forward and one step back.

Akechi Mitsuhide secretly forced everyone to give up their rewards. Although everyone was unwilling, they didn't have the guts to raise objections.

At this time, Yiyin proposed that instead of rewarding land, only money and grain, everyone would not criticize and dissatisfy, but instead felt a kind of joy of regaining what was lost, and loved Yiyin's kindness and compassion even more.

It can only be said that Mitsuhide Akechi, this bastard, really has figured out all the thoughts of the samurai family, this black-bellied fox who plays with people's hearts.

That alone is not enough, Yiyin said calmly.

"In this fierce battle against Yuwu Lake, the soldiers of all families are working hard to move forward. I see it in my eyes, and I am very pleased.

I decided to take out a hundred sipo weaves and use it to reward the meritorious ministers of various families. What do you think? "

Ninagawa Okino and Hatakeyama Takamasa were taken aback at the same time, Ninagawa Okino rolled his eyes and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Shiba weave is exclusive to Shiba's retainers, so it's not appropriate for my foreign ministers to hold the Shiba weave?"

Yiyin laughed.

"These establishments are my thanks to the loyal people who shed blood and sacrificed for the samurai world. The relevant personnel only enjoy the treatment of Siba's establishment and do not enter the Siba's family."

When Ninagawa heard this, she was overjoyed and bowed.

"Your Majesty is merciful, and I thank you for the righteous men."

Yiyin laughed.

"Don't thank me too early, I have something to say earlier.

Sibo's system is only rewarded to the truly meritorious ministers, so don't play tricks to make the truly loyal people bleed and cry.

If someone makes a joke there, hurts the heart of a righteous man, and hurts my face, I will really be angry. "

Yoshihiro seemed to be joking, but Ninagawa and Hatakeyama Takamasa were terrified, and they didn't dare to say anything. Some small thoughts that had just emerged were immediately pinched clean by him.

Yiyin looked at their sweating heads, smiled and said nothing.
