different warring states of japan

Chapter 1614

Yiyin casually flipped through the documents in front of him and asked.

"Is it that bad?"

Gamo's hometown bowed.

"Hey, the statistics are shocking.

If it weren't for His Highness Hosokawa's connections, we wouldn't have known that those people in the Ashikaga Hui had such a miserable life.

Not only do they lack food for the winter, but even because of the rare winter snow this year, many houses have been crushed, and they also lack the necessities of life, such as cloth, salt, and iron pots.

As far as I know, many of them Hime Samurai have over-borrowed in the earthen warehouses in the castle town, and the situation is really bad. "

Yi Yin frowned.

"Why didn't the entire shogunate react? Only Hatakeyama Takamasa came out to help spread a word."

Gamo's Township sighed.

"Saint, the Ashikaga Huis have always been the best friends of General Ashikaga's family. Now that Ashikaga is in decline, it's too late for the shogunate samurai to get rid of their relationship. How many people are willing to come out to help and say something?
Although everyone has friendship in their ancestors, before General Nishikura and the sage have not expressed their views, who is willing to come out and speak for the loyal dog of the Ashikaga family?
Even His Royal Highness Hatakeyama, her intentions may not be pure, not to mention good intentions. "

Yoshihiro took a look at Gamo Township, because Hatakeyama Takamasa expressed goodwill for Yoshiyin, and the warriors who were close to Yoshiyin began to dislike Hatakeyama Takamasa, and even Kamo Township subconsciously stepped on it.

The existing shogunate samurai are mainly divided into three waves, one is the diehard Ashikaga family, the other is the shogunate group, and the third is the local power faction.

Ashikaga's loyal loyalists followed Ashikaga Yoshiki's murder, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki's rebellion has been weakened miserably by Oda Nobunaga.

Because Ashikaga Yoshiki once deprived the shogunate group of interests, the shogunate group, which mainly operates in Kyoto, is not close to the subordinates of the Ashikaga family.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki ran away, the Ashikaga Huis were in a difficult situation, and the shogunate group looked on coldly, maybe they didn't make trouble, and the family dominated.

Hatakeyama Takamasa and Hosokawa Fujitaka belonged to the local powerful faction of the shogunate. They had little entanglement with the interests of Kyoto, but were willing to help the Ashikaga family and improve their prestige in the shogunate.

Yiyin shook his head, the shogunate is corrupt, these bastards will never let go of their careful infighting.

Yoshiaki couldn't bear to see the tragic situation of the Ashikaga congregation, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is a bastard, and the shogunate group are also some bastards.

Yiyin stood up and said.

"Ujigo, first allocate some salt, cloth, and building materials from the Shiba military depot around Kyoto, and distribute them to the needy Ashikaga congregation.

Do it now, the next winter snow will come soon, so do it as soon as possible. "

"Hi!"

"Naozheng, accompany me to the town where the Ashikaga congregation resides."

"Hi!"

---

The gathering place of the Ashikaga congregation is not far from the original imperial palace, which belongs to the inner city circle.

The Shiba Mansion is the residence given to Yoshigin by Ashikaga Yoshiki back then. In order to show his favor, it is also in the inner circle surrounding the imperial palace.

Yiyin and his party traveled lightly, and they didn't need to go too far before seeing the bustling crowd queuing up to receive food.

Seeing Hosokawa Fujitaka present from a distance, Yoshigin asked.

"Why is she here?"

Ii Naomasa sneered.

"I don't want to buy people's hearts!
The money and food are all provided by the Shiba family, and the Hosokawa family only needs to provide the list.But His Highness Hosokawa has been busy, this time he really showed his face. "

Yoshigin glared at Ii Naomasa.

"Shen Yan, what is His Highness Hosokawa's status, is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks? Your temper is getting worse and worse. Go back and find a quiet room by yourself, and think about it for a long time."

Ii Naomasa curled his lips and bowed unwillingly.Yiyin sighed, feeling at a loss for his upright confidant.

Hosokawa Fujitaka was so high-profile, it was allowed by Yoshihiro, and it was the sweetness given by Yoshihiro.

The Shiba family could not do without the assistance of the Izumi Hosokawa family for many things in Nishikin. Hosokawa Fujitaka's position in the Izumi Hosokawa family was stable, and his prestige rose, which was beneficial to Yoshihiro.

Yoshigin saw from a distance that Hosokawa Fujitaka seemed to be dealing with something, and said.

"Come on, let's go see what Hosokawa Fujitaka is up to."

When Yiyin approached, a group of people saw the family crest on Tongxinzhong's clothes, and immediately bowed and parted ways. Many people even knelt and kowtowed on the spot to thank the saint for the food.

"Saint! The saint is here!"

Hosokawa Fujitaka heard the saint calling behind him, turned around and saw Yoshigin walking towards him, his face became embarrassed.

She was dealing with a difficult matter, and she didn't want the saint to see her embarrassment.

Yoshigin glanced at Hosokawa Fujitaka's embarrassed expression and asked.

"What happened?"

After Hosokawa Fujitaka saluted, he hummed to the two parties present and said.

"Speak to the saint yourselves."

Yiyin looked over, and saw that both sides of the entanglement took sides.At one end is a Ji warrior leading a little boy, and at the other end is a fat old woman followed by two Ji warriors.

Warrior Ji who was leading the little boy didn't think the ground was muddy and dirty, so he directly pulled the little boy to kowtow to the ground and said.

"The foreign minister is tall and tall, and has seen a saint."

"Xiaoshi has seen a saint."

The fat woman on the other side looked at the dead ground, frowned, unwilling to kneel down, and the two Ji warriors behind her hurriedly knelt down.

"Kamemaru has seen a saint."

"Ah Liang, Ah Shan, I have seen a saint."

Yiyin nodded.

"Get up, what happened?"

Boss Kamemaru bowed his head and said.

"For the sake of the saint, it's actually not a big deal. Big Grass Girl borrowed a lot of money and food from my soil warehouse, and I'm asking her for it right now."

Dacao Gaozhong gritted his teeth and said.

"Saint, I owe money and rations, but she will take all the rations this time. It's too much."

Before Yoshihiro could speak, Kamemaru scolded.

"Obviously you said it yourself. You swear by your ancestor's family name. As long as the money and food are distributed, you will pay me back immediately. Why, you don't admit it now?"

Naomasa Ii raised his eyebrows and scolded.

"Presumptuous! The sage didn't ask questions, so how can you allow you to talk too much!"

Boss Kamemaru turned pale with fright and fell silent.

Yiyin frowned. The owner of the earthen warehouse has a problem. Ordinary merchants would not dare to be so arrogant when they saw Warrior Ji, even if they were asking for money and food.

He glanced at Hosokawa Fujitaka, who leaned closer to his ear and said.

"The soil storehouse of the Ninagawa family."

Yiyin nodded slightly.

It turned out that the boss Kamemaru was lending money for Ninagawa's own son, and he was backed by a big boss. No wonder he dared to reason in front of the Ashikaga audience.

Thinking about it, Kyoto has always been the interest of the Muchen Group, and the earth warehouse that can lend money in the castle town of Kyoto must be related to the Muchen Group.

Yoshigin looked at Kamemaru and said calmly.

"Which family of Hime Samurai are you? Kamemaru is your Miao character?"

Boss Kamemaru felt a little bad in his heart, and he forced himself to answer.

"Back to the sage, Cao Min is not Ji Wushi, but a businessman."

Yiyin said coldly.

"Since you're not Ji Wushi, how dare you disrespect him?

The Okusa clan has served as a general for generations, and Okusa Takashi is an Ashikaga Hui, shouldn't you call me a lord? "

Yiyin fought for eight years and was invincible. How could Boss Kamemaru be able to resist the power of a superior.

Boss Kamemaru's face turned pale, and he muttered, but he couldn't speak in front of Yiyin.

Yiyin ignored her, turned his head to look at Dacao Gaozhong, and said softly.

"Big Grass Girl, how much money do you owe her?"

Dacao Gaozhong was silent for a while and said.

"It was two stones at the time of borrowing, but now with the interest, there are already five stones."

Yiyin nodded, understood.

Sibo Fuli has a total of six shi a year, and three shi food coupons are distributed every six months. This time, the charity bank allocated three shi welfare grains to the Ashikaga Hui, and used real food to rescue the emergency.

Even if all the three stones of grain were given to Boss Kamemaru, it would not be able to pay off the debt, and the whole family was starving even if the grass was high, and they would definitely not be able to survive this winter.

No wonder Dacao Gaozhong was embarrassed by the damage to his family name, and he refused to let boss Kamemaru take away the food.

Yiyin glanced at Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was looking ugly, and thought that she didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Ninagawa, so she made peace with her and acted as a peacemaker for both parties.

Unexpectedly, Yiyin appeared at this time, and it was a bit embarrassing to see the scene of Hosokawa Fujitaka helping the businessman to suppress Ji Wushi.

Yi Yin couldn't help shaking his head.

Hosokawa Fujitaka is very smart, but he is just too smart. The calculations of the shogunate samurai are engraved in his bones, and sometimes he seems utilitarian and unpleasant.

Yoshigin said to Ii Naomasa.

"You take someone to the castle town, pay back the money and food Okusana Hime owes Boss Kamemaru, and get back the IOU.

By the way, ask the other places in the castle town to buy back all the IOUs of the Ashikaga congregation in the past two years, and the money and food will be paid out of my private treasury. "

Ii Naomasa's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he glanced at Kamemaru, frightening her frowning face froze just now.

Yi Yin frowned.

"Don't go soon!"

After Naomasa Ii bowed, he reluctantly left.Dacao stood tall, his lips trembling with gratitude, not knowing what to say.

In the past two years, because of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's arrears of wages, there are 500 people in Ashikaga Hui, and almost everyone lives on borrowed money in the castle town.

This time, Yiyin wiped out all the money and food they owed in the past two years.

The Ji warriors around whispered to each other, spreading the whole good news quickly, and it was unknown who shouted first.

"Sage onboard!"

This sound seemed to ignite everyone's enthusiasm, and the Ji warriors present almost made waves, shouting over and over again.

"Sage onboard! Onboard! Onboard!"

Boss Kamemaru, who seemed out of place in the noise, felt uncomfortable all over. She bowed to leave and wanted to leave, but was blocked by the same heart.

As soon as Yiyin stretched out his hand, the shouting Ji warriors instantly tuned in to wait, as if they were Yiyin's most loyal subordinates and completely obeyed Yiyin's orders.

Glancing at Boss Kamemaru with a pale complexion, Yoshigin said.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, since the debt issue has been settled, it's your turn to make no distinction between superiors and inferiors.

At the foot of the capital, at the center of the shogunate, the laws of the samurai cannot be lightly provoked. Today, such a bad incident of businessmen provoking and trampling on the dignity of the samurai is tolerable and unbearable.

come! "

"exist!"

The surrounding Ashikaga followers responded together, including Dacao Gaozhong who was standing in the front, and they were all waiting for Yiyin's order.

Yoshigin pointed to Kamemaru's face that was whiter than a dead man, and said calmly.

"Take the three of them, ransack this guy's house, escort all the family members to the bank of the Kamo River, behead them for public display, and expose their corpses for three days, as an example to others."

Before Yoshigin finished speaking, Kamemaru had already collapsed to the ground, crying.

"Saint, forgive me! I am...I am... curled up..."

Yiyin gave a loud shout.

"I don't care who you are!
The Ashikaga Huis are loyal, decisive, and keep their duty. They are a model of righteousness and reason for the world's samurai.Its dignity cannot be humiliated!His family name cannot be trampled on!

Come on!Take it! "

Boss Kamemaru had already collapsed to the ground and did not dare to resist, but the two wild warriors behind her were fierce and wanted to draw their swords to survive.

Dacao Gaozhong had sharp eyes and quick hands, and directly used the sword drawing technique to cut off the wrist of one person who was drawing the sword.

Then he shrank and stabbed directly into the other person's arms, pierced through the heart with one knife, and stirred like venting hatred, smashing his heart into pieces.

A group of Ji warriors around applauded, and Dacao's superb swordsmanship and extremely fast reaction attracted applause from the crowd.

At the same time, Yiyin grabbed Li Huazuo's wrist, looked at the three-eyed gun in her hand that hadn't had time to ignite, and cursed.

"How many times have I said that? Don't suddenly shoot my ear, my eardrum can't stand it! Don't you have a knife!"

Li Huazuo pouted.

"For musket effects."

Yi Yin spat.

"What a fart, it's not a revolver, what's so good about a firearm?"

"Saint, what is a revolver?"

"I don't know! Let's talk about it in 300 years!"

Yiyin scolded Li Huazuo casually, but he was angry with Ninagawa and these greedy ministers in his heart. Are they crazy about money?
The soil warehouse opened by the vassals in Kyoto is forcing the Ashikaga Huis to a dead end, and there are a total of [-] Ji warriors!
In recent days, Siba has a territory of 20 shi, and the registered retainers of Siba are only 500 people.

If the Ashikaga group is really going to be cornered, Yoshihiro can't even imagine what Kyoto will look like, maybe it will become a hell on earth.

As a last resort, Yoshihiro had no choice but to withdraw those IOUs as soon as possible, beheading Kamemaru, a young bird, and his family, so that Ashikaga Hui could vent their anger.

To be honest, Yiyin is not trying to buy people's hearts at this time, he is really afraid of the riots in Kyoto.

The Shiba family's garrison in Kyoto did not add up to five hundred Hime samurai.If five hundred desperate Ji warriors suddenly appeared from the inner city, just thinking about that scene would make Yiyin break into a cold sweat.

Those short-sighted ministers, do they know what they are doing?
