different warring states of japan

At the end of this winter, Shiba Yoshiyin spent time in Sakai Port. It was the spring breeze that turned into rain and moistened the earth. .

There are Yono, Yukino, Tachibana Kanade inside, Reilu, Kristina outside, and from time to time, Hosokawa Fujitaka comes to fight against the autumn wind, and the gatekeeper Kamao Clan follows suit to enrich his own pockets.

As a man, I can’t say no, it’s just that my life is indeed a bit difficult.

At the beginning of the new year, the spring breeze blew away the chill that shrouded the earth. Sibo Yiyin returned to Duowen Mountain City to preside over the New Year's Review and passed two major issues.

First, the Shiba family will join forces with the Oda family to conquer the Western Kingdom.

Shiba Yiyin sent Nizi Katsuhisa as the general of the Western Kingdom to attack the Sanin front line.Hashiba Hideyoshi, the general of the Western Kingdom of the Oda family, attacked the Sanyo line.

The two sides echoed each other from the north to the south and moved forward hand in hand.

This strategy was carried out in the name of the shogunate to attack the Maori family and rescue General Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was kidnapped by the Maori family during the hunt in the west.

Regardless of whether Ashikaga Yoshiaki was happy or not, the Shiba and Oda families were righteous in using this great cause to invade the Western Kingdom.

Secondly, the Sibo family officially announced the selection and restructuring of Sibo, and will implement the pilot program in the school district within two years, and the Sibo system will gradually be opened to martial arts families all over the world.

Anyone with knowledge can participate in the Shiba selection, pass the literary and martial arts examinations, become a glorious Shiba family warrior, and enjoy the benefits of Shiba.

If the Western Kingdom Strategy sounded the clarion call to unify the world, then the selection and restructuring of Sibo was the first sign of the new Sibo regime, allowing the martial arts all over the world to see the determination of the Sibo family to rule the world.

As the news was announced, Akechi Mitsuhide went to the Sanin front line to carry out frequent diplomatic work. Hosokawa Fujitaka led troops into Tango Kingdom to promote peace and force the Isshiki family to bow their heads.

With the support of the Kodera family and the Uki family, Hashiba Hideyoshi led his army into Harima Country.

The Western Kingdom Strategy has officially begun.

And Sibo Yiyin, who is sitting in Duowen Mountain City, is not idle either. People and things are coming in waves, which are constantly consuming his energy every day.

---

Yiyin looked at the target in front of him and shot in an arc, hitting the bullseye.

Takeda Yoshinobu bowed and saluted his father, and Yoshinobu nodded with satisfaction.

Although it is just a children's bow and the distance is only six or seven meters, the six-year-old Takeda Yoshinobu can already shoot decently, which is indeed good.

Yiyin laughed.

"Don't be proud, keep practicing, every arrow is a new beginning, don't slack off."

"Yes, my father."

After touching his daughter's little head, it felt so good, and then walked towards Masanobu Kosaka who was smiling in the distance.

Kosaka Masanobu handed over the white towel to wipe the sweat, and Yoshiyin took it casually, wiping the sweat while looking at her beautiful face.

The corners of her eyes already bore traces of time, and a few slight wrinkles made this former most beautiful woman look a little tired.

Masanobu Kosaka, who is over thirty years old, has dedicated his life to three people, Takeda she loves, Shiba she loves, and Takeda and Shiba's daughter.

Yiyin was fascinated, and Kosaka Masanobu's face turned red when he stared at him, and he reminded him in a low voice.

"saint.."

Yiyin came back to his senses and smiled.

"We haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to have become plumper and more beautiful."

Kosaka Masanobu said shyly.

"I am already old and pearly, but the saint is still as beautiful as before."

Although he knew that Yoshiyin was telling him nice things, Kosaka Masanobu was still very happy. After all, not everyone was qualified to let the saint bother to say a few nice words.

The saint's willingness to say this shows that he has me in his heart.

Kosaka Masanobu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at Yiyin's skin as smooth as a boy's.

The years are like knives, but they have not left any trace on this saint's face. He is still the same boy, without any change.

Logically speaking, the closer a person is to a saint, the less likely they will believe in the myths.

Because in the eyes of people around you, the saints have daily human joys, anger, sorrows and joys. In the eyes of people around you, no matter how noble the saint is, he is just a mortal who needs to eat, drink and relieve himself every day.

But this convention fails for Yiyin because he has two special effects body protection.

The extraordinary special effects of his life make him look holy and innocent in the eyes of others all the time.

Whether it's farts or mugwort, even if your face is red from squatting, it's still dazzling and sacred.

The permanent 16-year-old special effect makes him look ageless.

Ten years ago, he was a 15-year-old boy. Ten years later, he still looks like a 16-year-old boy. It makes people sigh that the gods are indeed eternally young.

With the blessing of double special effects, the closer people get to Yiyin, the more firmly they will believe that he is not a human being.Whether he is a vixen or a living god, in short, there is absolutely no way he is human.

At this moment, Kosaka Masanobu looked at Yoshigan's boyishly handsome side face, and his body was inevitably flooded. After all, the two of them were really close by skin, and they could not be considered outsiders.

"Why does the saint have time today to come and see His Highness's homework?"

"What? Can't I just care about my daughter?"

"Foreign ministers don't dare."

The two of them stood in the distance, watching Takeda Yoshinobu working hard on his bow, wanting to show his best side to his father.

Takeda Yoshinobu would look back at his father from time to time to see if he was really looking at him shooting arrows.

Yoshigan was gesturing to cheer for Takeda Yoshinobu, while talking to Kosaka Masanobu with some resentment in his tone.

"Takeda Shingen has gone too far."

Kosaka Masanobu smiled and looked at His Highness in the distance. His Highness was very excited today. In order to show his father what he was capable of, he shot really hard.

"The foreign ministers are terrified."

Yiyin glanced at Kosaka Masanobu next to him and said helplessly.

"What a fright! You, the monarch and your ministers, are just ganging up to bully me."

"Why did the saint say this?"

At this moment, Takeda Yoshinobu shot another arrow and hit the target. He turned back in excitement and raised his hand to shake the bow and arrow.

Yi Gin and Kosaka Masanobu applauded at the same time and praised her.

After the child went to prepare another arrow, Yiyin snorted and said.

"Takeda Shingen and Satake Yoshige jointly submitted a letter, denounced the Edo family of Baba City for ignoring Tianen and having ulterior motives in order to avoid loan interest for counterpart assistance.

Bullshit interest!Winter has just passed, and the seeds for spring plowing have not yet been planted in the ground. Are they already eager to collect debts?Do you think I'm Sibo Papi?
Satake Yoshige should be very clear that before the summer and autumn harvests, every household in Hitachi Kingdom would have no surplus food and could only rely on food assistance from their counterparts.

By cooperating with Takeda Shingen at this time, is she planning to directly force the Edo family to death, or is she going to force the Edo family to rebel?

I heard that Takeda Shingen privately changed the name of the Edo family's Baba Castle to Mito Castle.how?Takeda Shingen is already planning to live in Mito Castle as his residence?I knew that the Satake family and the Edo family were separated in the north and south of Hitachi Province, and there were conflicts in the world, but I didn't expect that Takeda Shingen would also get involved. She really wanted to be the Mito Komon to uphold justice? "

Kosaka Masanobu reassured.

"The Saint has misunderstood. My Highness has no ill intentions, but is just taking precautions to prevent the people below from taking the Saint's kindness for granted.

His Highness Satake Yoshitaka felt the same way. He was afraid that the samurai families in Hitachi Kingdom did not know what was good and what was bad, so they were just preparing for a rainy day.

But what is the Mito Yellow Gate you are talking about?Sounds like an official position in the emperor's court? "

Yi Yin shook his head.

"Don't worry about the Mito Yellow Gate. Let's just talk about the Edo family in Baba City and the local samurai family in Hitachi Province Southern Hall 33.

Don't think I don't know, Takeda Shingen wants to join forces with Satake Yishige to kill the unruly thorns in these places.

The blame fell on Satake Yoshige. Anyway, she had robbed money and food and was going to Dewa Country sooner or later. She was not afraid of being a villain and offending the locals.

Takeda Shingen can cleanly take over the southern part of Hitachi Kingdom, settle in Mito Castle, and slowly squeeze the Satake family's Ota Castle in the north, allowing Satake Yoshitaka to get out of the house.

These two are a pair of foxes.

Not only did he want to bypass the Imperial Order of Peace in Kanto, but he also wanted the Edo family to die. He also righteously proposed to me to establish a tax police corps to be responsible for the interest repayment of counterpart assistance.

Are they going to use this as an excuse to go to each house to clean things up, not to talk about fighting, but only to talk about violent tax resistance? "

Kosaka Masanobu gradually felt relieved after hearing Yoshigage's complaints, but it seemed that there were only complaints and no real dissatisfaction with the Takeda family. He even felt like laughing a little.

Takeda Shingen had figured out the saint's thoughts and dared to exclude dissidents in the name of tax resistance.

In Yoshigan's heart, Kanto is the Kanto of the Shiba family. As long as the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest is played well, no matter who Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo devour the territory, it will be Shiba in the end, and the wealth will not flow to outsiders.

Therefore, Yiyin does not care about their wanton expansion. The more land the Shiba descendants occupy, the more stable the Shiba family's rule in Kanto will be in the future.

But Yiyin has to consider the appearance of his women. The appearance of his women is too ugly, which will inevitably affect his image and shake his personality. How can he convince the public in the future?

What about the Tax Police Headquarters, what about violent tax resistance? Takeda Satake is such a talented person, how interesting is this word carving!

The Kanto economy retains a large number of characteristics of the manorial economy and is self-sufficient.

The other side of self-sufficiency and living behind closed doors is poverty. Without material exchange, how can we be rich?

Except for a few Wu families who could rely on transportation hubs to pay taxes and open mines to dry salt, most Wu families just dug their food from the land and relied heavily on the little food produced by the land.

The land harvest in one year was so much, not counting natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the tyranny of the six public officials and four people could not support many Ji warriors.

If you collect one thousand dan and can save fifty dan of food throughout the year, you are already running your family well.

Last year, the people in the East rebelled, which delayed spring plowing and caused heavy losses in the autumn harvest. There was at least a [-]% food shortage in the four eastern countries.

The grain from the counterpart assistance loan needs to be subsidized until this year's autumn harvest to close the gap. Not counting interest, the principal alone requires the local Wu family to save grain surplus for five or six years before it can be repaid.

If interest is added, even a low-interest loan will take ten years to pay back.

But what about Takeda Shingen and Satake Yoshige?

The weather hasn't gotten warmer yet, and the spring plowing hasn't even started yet, but debt pressing has already begun.

Not to mention that the Edo family may not have the heart to repay the money. Even if her family is willing to repay the loan honestly, they will never be able to provide money or food at this time.

If you really have money, why bother taking out a loan?There is no rice left at home, and outsiders are lending money and extorting debts at the same time. What kind of trouble is this?

Rather than saying that Takeda Satake wanted money, it was better to say that they wanted their lives, the lives of the Edo family.

Why is the tax police group strictly guarding against violent tax resistance? Just say directly that you want to rob, and go round and round as if you are reasoning, but in fact there is no reason at all, it is just bullying.

Even though it was Takeda Shingen who was causing trouble in the front, Uesugi Kenshin and Hojo Ushimasa, who were watching with cold eyes, may not have this intention.

If Yiyin dares to hesitate even a little, the other two will immediately follow suit, suppress local dissidents in the name of tax resistance, and further control the four eastern countries that have just surrendered.

The poor people in the East had already surrendered, but they were forced to retreat again and again until they had no way out. It really complied with the old saying.

If we seek unity through struggle, unity will survive.If you seek unity through concessions, unity will perish.

The people of the East, a mass of scattered sand, have been reduced to fish and meat, just waiting for the swordsmen to attack them.

Don't dream if you expect the conquerors to be merciful.Even for Yiyin, he considered the negative impact and didn't care about the misery of the people in the East.

The relationship between Kosaka Masanobu and Takeda Shingen is unusual. They are close colleagues and help take care of their children.

Yoshigami came to talk to Kosaka Masanobu, hoping that she would write a private letter to Takeda Shingen to tell the child to calm down and calm down.

If he warned Takeda Shingen through the sage's own channels, it would cause more trouble. Yoshihiro was already troubled by the continuous troubles in Kanto, and it was better to have less trouble than more trouble.

Kosaka Masanobu smiled and said nothing when faced with the saint's complaints.

For the saint to condescend his dignity and come to communicate privately is in itself a sign of weakness, and the Wu family's response to weakness has always been to intensify and push further.

Kosaka Masanobu could only secretly say sorry to the saint, but the Takeda family would never let go of interests.

Whether it is for Takeda Shingen or Takeda Yoshinobu, Kosaka Masanobu will not let their interests be harmed.

Before Takeda Shingen joined forces with Satake Yoshi to take action again, he had already written to Kosaka Masanobu explaining the situation.

Kosaka Masanobu and Takeda Yoshinobu are the closest thing the Takeda family has to a saint, and they are also the political pioneers of Takeda Shingen.

If the saint is angry, women and children are the cooling agents.If the saint is soft-hearted, hehe.

All in all, Takeda Shingen will decide the interests of Hitachi Kingdom. This will be the cornerstone of the future she carves out for her daughter and the basis for her survival.

Kosaka Masanobu must support Takeda Shingen, even if the child's biological father speaks softly, it is useless.

Looking at Takeda Yoshinobu who was shooting arrows excitedly in the distance, Kosaka Masanobu showed a hint of motherly love in his eyes. She had no biological children. She had taken Takeda Yoshinobu with her over the years and had regarded her as flesh and blood.

Kosaka Masanobu said.

"Sage, my Royal Highness is a bit arrogant this time, but you must also consider her difficulties.

The Takeda family was no better than the Uesugi Takeda family. The Takeda family was far away in Koshinobu and beyond reach.If we cannot cooperate with the Satake family and surrender the local samurai family in Hitachi Kingdom, disaster will occur in the future.

Saint, my Highness is outstanding in resourcefulness and bravery, and is willing to bear this hardship. If you suppress her, these hidden dangers and troubles will only leave your Highness with a headache in the future.

Please think about your little Highness. She left her mother when she was three years old and lives far away in Kyoto. Her mother is willing to bear all the bad reputation for her, so that her daughter can live a worry-free life.

How can you bear to let your Highness do this? . "

Midway through his words, Kosaka Masanobu was choked up and couldn't speak anymore. He walked quickly to Takeda Yoshinobu and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead.

While enjoying the careful care of Kosaka Masanobu, Takeda Yoshinobu never forgets his father in the distance. The expression and eyes he looks at his father are full of admiration and adoration for his father.

Yiyin was speechless for a moment behind them, and then sighed after a long while.

That's all, Takeda Shingen, you're being cruel.
