different warring states of japan

People are divided into relatives and estrangements. As early as thousands of years ago in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was the theory of the Eight Pieces, and later it became a law in the Cao Wei Dynasty, also known as the Eight Discussions.

That is to say, people with eight identities commit crimes, and the judiciary has no power to deal with them, and must ask the emperor for a ruling.

The first of these eight proposals is to discuss relatives, that is, the emperor's own relatives.

The emperor's relatives are naturally superior to others. The so-called prince's crimes are the same as that of the common people.

In ancient feudal society, concealment between close relatives was not only a moral norm, but also a legal principle. Behind the seemingly unfairness was actually a profound social reality.

People are born unequal, this is the consensus of feudal society.

Yoshigi is very satisfied with Satake Yoshishige's proposal, because this middle-aged mature woman is really sensible.

Satake Yoshishige deeply hated the Kanto servants headed by the Sanqiang domains for being too aggressive, but she must grasp a criterion when speaking, that is, there is a difference between closeness and closeness.

No matter how bad the three powerful feudal clans are, they are still the relatives of the saints. What right does Yoshishige Satake have to make irresponsible remarks to them?Could it be that she still expects the sage to be the master of the East and punish her own women and children?

If Yoshishige Satake wanted to save some face for the Satake family, he had to find a way to do three things.

The first is to prove one's own ability and propose a plan that is in line with Yiyin's interests for the messy situation in front of him.

Second, in this plan, she must reflect her own value and make up for her mistakes.

The third is to quell the looming famine in the land of Guan Yashu because of this rebellion, so as not to leave future troubles for the Satake family.

It is actually not easy to achieve these three points, but Yoshishige Satake not only did it, but also took personal revenge and gave the Sanqiang Fan a soft nail.

She took advantage of the sage's dissatisfaction with the Kanto Servant, and with the help of the sage, forced the Kanto Servant headed by the Sanqiang Fan to rescue the four eastern countries and relieve the famine crisis.

You know, among the four eastern countries there is Changlu, and among the common people in this famine, there are also tribes of the Satake family.

The common people and the hearts of the people that Yoshigin and Satake Yoshishige discussed never included rural farmers or city dwellers.

What they are talking about is the samurai class with names and surnames, that is the real common people, and the untouchables of the island country have no surnames.

Satake's family will definitely be severely punished this time, but no matter how severe the punishment is, Satake Yoshishige must first ensure that his retainers have food.

Only by keeping its own foundation, can the Satake family have the hope of continuing and reviving.

Satake Yoshishige's revenge should not be too vicious, and he even had to follow Yiyin's wishes, just to make the Kanto servants feel uncomfortable, and used money and food to do good deeds for Yiyin in exchange for the status of the four eastern countries.

After all, the crusade against the East has come to an end without a problem, and the Kanto servants have no credit for it, so how dare they ask for a reward.

Even the land of the people in the east is the reward promised by Yiyin to the Western Expeditions of the Kanto servants.

But they messed things up by themselves, and the sage wiped their asses himself, so the originally promised rewards would naturally change.

The people in the East were conquered by Yi Yin, so Yi Yin has the right to say how the land of the people in the East is divided.

The rewards will still be given to each family of the Kanto Servant, but each family of the Kanto Servant must contribute money and food to relieve the four eastern countries and survive this famine.

It was the Kanto Servant who paid the money, but it was the sage who was thanked by the warriors of the four eastern countries. This is beyond doubt.

The people's heart that Satake Yoshishige said was dedicated to the sage. Those bastards in the Kanto Office bought the land with money and grain. If they want to rule the new collar, they must follow the sage's will.

In this way, a new balance between the east and west of Guan Yashu appeared again.The former East-West confrontation has become the Western Lord of the Four Eastern Kingdoms who obeyed the sage's appointment, and his title was captured in Yiyin's hands.

Once the people in the Guandong Servant began to act in the opposite direction again, the Dongfang Wu family would become pawns in the hands of Yiyin, making the rule of the people in the Guandong Servant in the four eastern countries unstable.

The Kanto Office is still a tool in the hands of Yiyin. With the ballast stone of the new leaders of the four eastern countries, the three powerful feudal clans have to be cautious, and Yiyin's control over the Kanto Office has been strengthened.

Yoshigin looked at Satake Yoshishige and said.

"These are all your personal proposals, and the Eastern families may not be willing to accept them, and the Satomi family and the Utsunomiya family will not agree to you being the master for them."

The three giants of the Eastern Crowd, Satake, Satomi, Utsunomiya, and Satake Yoshishige can only represent the Satake family at most. She came here to surrender first, and the Eastern Crowd is probably already scolded.

Yiyin doubts whether Satake Yoshishige still has the appeal to help him complete such a complicated counterpart assistance plan.

The people in the East were defeated, and they had to accept the future of reforming and reducing the vassal. The land they were cut off was the new territory of the Kanto servants.

In order to complete this plan, cooperation may be required in all aspects. Would the Oriental people be willing to be represented by Yoshishige Satake?Are they willing to fail?

Satake Yoshiki sighed heavily.

"The sage gave me food just now, saying that food is the most important thing, I deeply agree.

The famine after autumn is bound to come, and the people in the east have already been defeated. If someone wants to accumulate military supplies and resist stubbornly, it will only aggravate the tragedy of the famine.

Does the sage think that the Eastern Crowd is a group of warriors with centripetal force?In fact, everyone is just forced to stick together, and their own thoughts are too many to count.

Satake, Utsunomiya, and Satomi are the so-called leaders, but their actual influence is not strong.

The Satomi family is the weakest. Toki, Masaki, Takeda, Mariya, Sakai and other local samurai families do not really serve the Satomi family, but regard the Satomi family as the leader against the Hojo family.

Satomi Yoshiyao was able to resist the three generations of the Hojo family from invading. In fact, it was because the various families in the Boso Peninsula refused to accept the Hojo family, not because of the superior prestige of the Satomi family.

The status of the Utsunomiya family in the Shimono country is also very embarrassing. The Koyama family once served as the guardian of Shimono, and they have been secretly challenging the Utsunomiya family for these years.

There is a strong challenger in the Utsunomiya family, called the king, in fact, no one can command, Nasu, Sano, Minagawa, Mibu and other powerful samurai lack respect for the Utsunomiya family.

As for my Satake family, I am not afraid of jokes from sages. Although I have the seven counties in the north of Hitachi, the southern samurai of Hitachi are wary of me.

On the contrary, the samurai families in Nanao Prefecture were persecuted by Date Masamune, and they got closer to the Satake family, and they also wanted to pull me against the Date family.

You are worried about whether the people in the East will rise up against it, which is impossible.

After this defeat, neither Satomi, Utsunomiya, nor I have lost the ability to unite the loose alliance of the East.

The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, each sweeping the snow in front of the door.

All families in the East dare not disobey your order, and it is an inevitable choice for everyone to exchange surrender for relief and survive this famine.

After surviving the famine, the hearts of the people turn to the saint who rescued them. Who has the ability to resist?Of course, whatever the sage says, things will be done.

I would like to be an envoy under the command of a sage, and travel to all the families in the East, to spread your benevolence, and to persuade all families to accept your relief strategy. "

Yi Yin couldn't help clapping his hands again for Satake Yoshi. The words of this beautiful mature woman not only relieved Yi Yin's worries, but also proved his worth.

She is the person who is most familiar with the various families in the East, how to divide each family, break them down one by one, and accept Yiyin's counterpart assistance policy, she is the best contact person.

Satake Yoshishige, who has already betrayed the Dongfang people, has no other choice. He must stand firmly on Yoshiyin's side, and it is impossible to have sex with the Dongfang people. This is enough to reassure Yoshiyin.

Yoshigin looked at Satake Yoshishige and said.

"Your crimes will naturally be punished.

My principle has always been that all matters in the Kanto region should be decided by the Kanto samurai.Therefore, your question should be submitted to the Grand Council of the Kanto Chamber of Commerce, and the Grand Council will decide to deal with it.

However, the Guandong Servant is not a one-word hall for the western samurai of Guanbazhou. The eastern samurai also have the right to join and have the right to speak out. This is the fundamental principle of the evaluation system.

The political consultation mechanism that unites warriors and develops peacefully cannot be destroyed.

The division between the east and the west of Guanbazhou is a pain for all of us. A great war delayed the spring plowing, and the shadow of famine hangs over all of us. This lesson is too profound.

At this time, I don't want to see the Guandong Servant punish easily, and I don't want the Kanto Wu family to roughly decide the future of the Eastern people.

Sins can be discussed slowly, but things have to be done. I agree with His Highness Satake's suggestion that the eastern samurai counterparts help the western samurai.

After the people of the East completely lay down their arms and give up confrontation, I will appoint you to be my special envoy to appease the families of the people of the East and have in-depth exchanges with them.

In addition, I will propose that the Kanto Chamber of Commerce hold an interim review, recall the United Front Workers from the four eastern countries, and hold a fair and just discussion.

This civil strife that shouldn't have happened should be taken as a warning by the Guandong servant.The punishment can be negotiated and sentenced slowly, even if it takes a few years, it doesn't matter, but the result must be convincing.

The Kanto Servant must arrange a relief plan for the famine. This is the duty and obligation of the Kanto Servant as the management organization of the Kanto Samurai.

Your Highness Satake, you should go back first, I hope to see this meaningless war end as soon as possible, and the people in the East put down their weapons as soon as possible. "

Satake Yoshishige bowed solemnly.

"The guilty minister understands that he must do his best to share the worries of the saint."

"Go."

"Hi."

Just as Satake Yoshishige walked down the steps, Yoshigi asked again.

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness Satake, the Satake family is currently in the territory of Hitachi, with 40 shi, right?"

Yoshishige Satake was taken aback. Hitachi's stone height was 54, but at this time, the Satake family hadn't won the Edo family in Mito Castle in the central part, let alone the 33 houses in the south.

The 40 shi that Yoshihiro guessed was actually a bit high on the Satake family.

Satake Yoshishige said frankly.

"The Satake family only occupies half of the country in Hitachi. Including the territory of Nanao and Aizu, there are about 40 shi."

Yi Yin nodded.

"The Satake family, the Takeda family, and the Nanbu family in the north of Ou all come from Minamoto Yoshimitsu's lineage, and each guards one side. They are all famous families that the shogunate relies on.

Satake made a mistake and Takeda replaced him, but the Satake family has guarded the Ou Passage for the shogunate for 500 years.

The Nanfang family is developing well in the northern part of Oshu. The Satake family might as well go to the northern part of Yuzhou to see, maybe they can make a difference.

As long as His Highness Satake completes the matter of counterpart assistance, I will give you the title of 40 shi in Yuzhou. As for whether you can get it, it depends on the Satake family's own ability. "

Satake Yoshishige trembled all over, and quickly kowtowed to the ground to thank him.

Although both are 40 koku, the northern part of Ou is bitter and cold, and far less prosperous than Changlu, but that is the family name of the 40 koku territory.

Yoshishi Satake has committed serious crimes, and it is not easy to continue his family name.

Yiyin generously gave 40 shi as daimyo status, even if the Satake family could not get all of them, at least it could guarantee that the family name would not be lost, and the lintel would remain the same.

This kindness is enough for Satake Yoshishige to be grateful, and he has given up his old life to help the saint and unify the important affairs of eight states.
