different warring states of japan

Chapter 223 Softening
Ashikaga Yoshiki saw Wada Yoomasa's fear, and understood her thoughts.

Wada Yoomasa's territory is in the Rokkaku family, and he serves beside Ashikaga Yoshiki in the dual capacity of the Rokkaku family and the shogunate.

Back then when Rokkaku was alive, the Rokkaku family had a good relationship with Ashikaga Yoshiki.

Wada Yoomasa led the signboard of the shogunate envoy, and negotiated, earning a lot of face.

Since the death of Rokkaku Sadayori, the relationship between the Rokkaku family and the shogunate has turned cold, and Wada Yoomasa has been embarrassed for a while.

Fortunately, Ashikaga Yoshiki believed in her, and still sent envoys to various families as shogunate envoys.

It was her duty to go on an envoy, and because she was not a simple vassal, Ashikaga Yoshiki had a little more trust in her, and thought of entrusting her to handle this envoy.

But there are some things she can't do.First of all, she wants to convince this beautiful woman not to be afraid of death.

"Miyoshi Changqing and Shiba Yoshiyin are heroes of the time, so military and national affairs are not trifling.

Don't worry about going on a mission, I will guarantee your life. "

Hetian Weizheng kowtowed to the ground.

She has been to Miyoshi's family many times as an envoy, so she naturally understands Miyoshi Changqing's personality and believes in the general's assertion.

But Mr. Gongfang, you said that Siba Gozen is easy to talk, which is outrageous.

The first time Shiba Yoshiyin went to Beijing, he had a conflict with the general.Stripping clothes on the spot exposed wounds, showing bravery.

Such a fierce killer, how could he have the slightest meekness of a man, would he be reasonable?Mr. Gongfang, are you guilty of saying this?
Maybe he will take care of the overall situation, but I think it's better not to try, there is only one life.

Seeing that Wada Yoomasa refused to raise his head, Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't help being annoyed, and even panicked.

Could it be that in the hearts of the ministers, the fear of Shiba Yoshigin has surpassed their respect for me.

Ashikaga shogunate, who will have the final say in the future?
---

"My lord, Zhizhi Mitsuhide is incompetent."

The Spo army has already established a garrison in the battalion.

Yoshigin and Akechi Mitsuhide had already left Haruto Mibuchi's residence, waiting for Ashgaru to set up the military tent in their camp.

Akechi Mitsusu worriedly confessed to Yoo Yin, who waved his hand.

"I don't blame you, I also just now understood the reason.

The Ashikaga vassals are the vassals. They have multiplied in the Yamashiro country for more than a hundred years and have their own set of rules.

If Aunt Sanyuan hadn't revealed the secret, anyone would have stumbled. "

Akechi Mitsuhide frowned.

"I used to think that the general's difficulty was in logistics.

Now that the truth is revealed, we must soften our attitude and not embarrass the general. "

Yi Yin nodded.

The current strategy of the Shiba family is still closely following the Ashikaga family.

Yiyin can help the general suppress the ministers, but if the life and death of the ministers is at stake, they must give it a go.

It's not that they can't beat these vassals, it's just that there's no need to go this far.

War is the continuation of politics, and politics is the art of compromise.

If all the shogunate ministers collapsed and the Yamashiro Kingdom fell into ruins, who would support the Ashikaga family's military power.

Not to mention other things, although the five hundred horse Huizhong was formed by local donations, who will provide food, grass and armaments for the battle?
The shogunate is one of the pillars of the Ashikaga shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiki can hate one of the shogunate, such as Ise Sadakyo.

But it is impossible for her to knock down all the vassals, that is to break the foundation of the Ashikaga family itself.

Yiyin and Akechi Mitsuhide always thought that it was Miyoshi Changqing who was troubled by the instability of the territory.

Unexpectedly, the territory of Shancheng Kingdom on the general's side is also unstable.

Both sides were having a hard time, so the shogunate army, which was in the upper hand in the negotiation because of the charity donation, was once again tied with the Miyoshi army.

Since everything is difficult, let's negotiate quickly.

The problem now is that Yiyin was too high-profile before.

Although the vassals were resentful in their hearts, the Ise Zhenjiao had learned from the past, and no one dared to talk about negotiations again.

Shiba Yoshigin inexplicably made things difficult for the general, and made the vassals even more alienated from Shiba's family.

That's why Ming Zhiguangxiu had to admit his mistake, which was a big loss.

It is too late to trace responsibility now, Yiyin asked.

"It's okay to soften your attitude, how to do it specifically?"

"The shogunate is in decline, and all the offices under its jurisdiction have retreated.

Only the government office is in charge of finances, and manages the donations from warriors from all over the country and the contributions from the vassals' territories, which is considered to be the real power. "

Yiyin understands.

"That's why the Ise Zhenjiao is so powerful, the deacon of the Ise family's hereditary government office, and all the vassals follow her family's lead.

But I have already offended her severely, and our two families have no room for maneuver. "

Akechi Mitsuhide agrees.

"Ise Zhenjiao has been too close to Miyoshi's family this time, and Lord Gongfang also hates her.

We skipped her and directly sought understanding from the Ninagawa family, acting government officials.

The head of the Ninagawa family, Ninagawa, and the elders of the young master are both in the army, and the master can go to negotiate with them in person. "

The real power of acting officials in the Warring States Period of Japan was very heavy, and it was a frequent occurrence of the upper and lower levels.

Some acting officials usurped the power of the lord because of their expanding power, such as Owari Oda Daisiba.

Some are high-level struggles, and the upper-level intentionally does it. For example, the Ise family fell out of favor with General Ashikaga this time.

After the war, Ashikaga Yoshiki must use the government office to replace the Ninagawa family, and the government office deacon Ise family, so that Ise Sadakyo will pay the price for his words and deeds.

Since the Ise family is doomed to decline, the Ninagawa family has become the first choice for the Shiba family to ease.

Yi Yin asked.

"What can I use to impress the Ninagawa family?"

"The Ninagawa family's territory is located in Tamba country.

Now that the Tanba Hatano family has surrendered to the Miyoshi family, the Ninagawa family's territory is in danger of being destroyed.

If the Lord is willing to lend a helping hand, the Ninagawa family has no reason to refuse.

Among the current shogunate army, the only ones who can control the situation of the battle with their military power are the Shiba family. "

Most of the shogunate's territory is in the Yamashiro country and surrounding countries. This is the territory bestowed on the Ashikaga retainers during the period when the shogunate was strong.

Therefore, Niki Yoshimasa's territory is in Iga, while the Ninagawa family is divided into Tamba territory.

If there is no accident, the Sanyuan family's territory will increase in Beihanoi in the future.

Miyoshi Yoshiken captured Tanba, and no one can say whether the shogunate territory in the territory will be liquidated after the war.

Although the Ninagawa family was ruled by a hereditary government, their power and status were not low.

But compared to a behemoth like Miyoshi's family, it's not enough at all.

Miyoshi's family will not care about a small government replacement, if the territory is swallowed up, it will be swallowed up.

But for the Ninagawa family, losing their territory would be a catastrophic event.

As long as Yoshigin is willing to say a few words for the Ninagawa family in the subsequent negotiations, with the current power of the Siba family, Miyoshi Changqing will have to think carefully before making a decision.

Therefore, the Ninagawa family will definitely agree to ease the situation for the Shiba family, and there will be a little misunderstanding with the vassals.

What's more, if the Shiba family's attitude softens, the negotiations can be started again, and the autumn harvest of the vassals' families can be expected to be preserved.

This matter will greatly enhance the prestige of the Ninagawa family, and it will be beneficial and harmless to her family, so there is no reason not to agree.

For Shiba Yoshigin, the key is not to lose Ashikaga Yoshiki's favor for the Shiba family.

The rise of the Shiba family, if it steals the limelight from the Ashikaga family, will this strong-willed official become disgusted with the Shiba family?

It is not the enemy that the superior hates the most, but the generation with high internal skills.

Because of rights, no one wants to share, just wants to monopolize.

Yiyin sighed, doing these messy things is more troublesome than fighting a war.
