different warring states of japan

Chapter 1803 Shunming starts with copper coins

The Hojo clan took advantage of their daughter's self-esteem and forced Hojo Genan to kill Mouri Kagehiro.

In fact, at this time, Maori Jinghiro was just a lost dog, and no one had paid attention to her for a long time. That is to say, the women of Shiba Yiyin refused to let her go.

The death of Mouri Kehiro, a political figure in the Hojo clan, was a test of the obedience of the Hojo retainers.

The political leader of the Hojo clan who had given birth to a divine descendant once again confirmed his authority. Hojo Genan thought about it again and again, and finally chose to bow his head.

The pro-Shiba forces within the Hojo family finally overwhelmed the veteran faction. From then on, the Hojo family completely turned towards the Shiba family, and there was no possibility of turning back.

Mouri Kagehiro's head was sent to Edo Castle in just two days. Looking at this dead head, Yoshihiro couldn't help but feel dumb.

Her own child, her mother, did not have a fuel-efficient lamp. Shima Katsuruo and Hojo Ushimasa were rolling around in pain while giving birth to the child, and at the same time they did not forget to use the topic to make trouble.

Shimakatsu fiercely dug into Maeda Toshiie's corner. In order to obtain the thousand koku territory, Ina Chuji was grateful to Shimakatsu. For accepting this favor, Maeda Toshiie had nothing to say.

The Hojo clan was even more ruthless in their politics, forcing senior ministers to break their promises and commit suicide, killing Kagehiro Mouri who had taken refuge, and his reputation was ruined.

From then on, everyone in the samurai family inside and outside the Hojo family knew who was in charge of the Hojo family.

Even if old women like Hojo Genan and Daidaiji Morimasa want to make a promise to someone, that person will have to weigh the fate of Mouri Kagehiro, at least first ask for a guarantee from the Hojo Ujimasa.

As one goes and the other goes, Hojo Ushimasa is no longer the weak family governor who was suppressed by his retainers and lost his temper, but has truly become the helmsman of the Hojo family.

As for Yiyin, he could only look at the head and smile bitterly without saying anything. Maori Jingguang would not die, and he would do his shit.

Uesugi Kenshin and Hojo Ushimasa pursued Mouri Kehiro and were determined to take her life. They hated Takeda Shingen for taking the opportunity to seize the seed and gave birth to Yoshigan's first child.

What else can Yiyin do besides smile bitterly at this matter of avenging private revenge?

Uesugi Hojo had no choice. If they had the choice, they would definitely cut off Takeda Shingen's head as soon as possible. Who is Mouri Kagehiro?

So, Maori Kagehiro is dead, as long as he doesn't destroy the unity within the Shiba Goddess.

Yoshihiro had Mouri Kagehiro's head sent back for burial together with the body, as a sign of his kindness, and he put the matter behind him.

With the birth of his two children, he will soon leave Kanto and return to Kinki.

Oda Nobunaga from Kinki can't wait any longer. If Yoshigage doesn't leave for Azuchi Castle Wormwood, this surly guy will start to cause trouble.

The Hokurikudo side has been peaceful for a little while, but I heard that the smell of gunpowder along the Daishoji River in Kaga Province has become strong again.

With Toshiie Maeda watching the action from the front, winter was about to begin, and the snow-capped mountains of Hokuriku were about to begin. In fact, neither Shibata Katsuie nor Uesugi Kenshin was in the mood to continue fighting.

The sudden smell of gunpowder came from nowhere, but Yoshigage felt that as long as he left for Kinki, this spark would be extinguished immediately.

Oda Nobunaga was urging Yoshigan to go on the road, and he didn't really want to continue fighting a futile war with Uesugi Kenshin on Hokuriku Road. There were so many soft persimmons in the west, so why bother chewing on the hard bones of Hokuriku Road.

After Shima Katsuo gave birth, Yoshigami stayed in Edo Castle for two days, hugged the child and stayed with the woman, and then planned to go to Kawagoe Castle to see Hojo Umasa and his daughter, and then return to Kinki via Tokaido.

Before setting off, Ina Chuji came to see him again.

Yiyin held the child, Shima Shengmeng looked on with a smile, and Ina Chuji knelt down and kowtowed.

"My servant interferes with the saint's enjoyment of family happiness. It is a crime worthy of death."

Yiyin handed the child to Shima Shengmeng, waved his hand with a smile and said.

"Okay, no matter what the crime is, get up and talk." "Hi."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Sage, the ore from Ashio Copper Mountain has been dug out, and making money should also be put on the agenda.

Skilled craftsmen from Sakai Port will arrive in Kanto soon to smelt ore and make templates for mother money.

Before making the mother's money, I asked the saint to give the new money a name so that the craftsmen could carve it. "

"Well, let's call it Shunming Tongbao."

Ina Chuji was stunned and forgot to reply for a moment. Yoshigan glanced at her and asked.

"Any questions?"

Ina Chuji carefully considered his words and answered carefully.

"Sage, is the name of this copper coin a bit frivolous? It's too rash."

Ina Chuji wanted to say it was frivolous, but when the words came to his lips, he felt inappropriate and swallowed back half of the words.

The names of copper coins are in accordance with the rules and regulations, and are generally based on the reign name of the current dynasty. For example, Yongle Tongbao is a copper coin made during the Yongle period and is famous for its high quality.

The official copper coins of the island country are based on the regulations of the Celestial Dynasty. The official coins produced by the previous imperial court of the island country were also named after the emperor's reign name.

Even if Sibo Yiyin mints new coins, even if it does not follow this old practice, it should not use the word Shunming.

Words such as "obey one's fate" and "shun Ming" have strong political meanings at the official level. For example, "obeying the order" is the title given to Li Yu after he was captured in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The words "shun" and "ni" have been mostly used in foreign vassals since ancient times.

Although the island country and the Celestial Empire are separated by a narrow strip of water, in the early days of comprehensive restructuring, instead of admiring the Han and Tang Dynasties, the island country has long been self-contained, claiming to be a small world, with 66 countries.

The powerful Yuan Dynasty's attack at that time was also blocked by the divine wind, which further enhanced the islanders' cautious thinking of accepting their destiny.

In order to develop trade with the Ming Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became the slave of the emperors Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle.

In the end, after completing Emperor Yongle's mission of exterminating the Japanese pirates, he was crowned King of Japan and obtained a permit to explore trade.

But even so, the Ashikaga Shogun family never thought about being a licking dog of the Celestial Empire, they were just seeking money.

At this time, the exploration and trade between the island country and the Ming Dynasty has been banned by the Celestial Empire, but the saint wants to engrave the word "Shun Ming" on the high-quality copper coins that will be circulated. .Quite puzzling.

Yoshigan smiled slightly when he saw Ina Chuji wanting to say something but not daring to say anything.

According to Yiyin's own opinion, he certainly wants to bring the island country back to the tributary system of the Celestial Empire, and he wants to be the most loyal lackey of the Celestial Empire.

However, the upper-level political architecture is inseparable from the underlying economic foundation. If you want to establish a Sputnik world that bows to the Celestial Empire externally and theocratic rule internally, you must deepen the economic dependence of the island country on the Celestial Dynasty.

To put it simply, Yiyin himself wanted to kneel down and lick the Celestial Empire, but he could not force the Wu family to bow. He could only use economic means to guide the Wu family to take the initiative to be dogs for the Celestial Empire.

The poor economic environment of the island country is Yiyin's best political breakthrough.

People who come out to hang out are looking for money. The martial arts family in the island country does not have so much national sentiments. As long as they have enough money and food, who can they treat as a dog or not?

However, this process must be guided patiently and carefully, and boiling the frog in warm water step by step will be successful.
