different warring states of japan

Chapter 352 The Big Picture
Everyone living in the samurai society is miserable.

In this barren island country, where materials are scarce and extremely introverted, everyone is struggling to survive.

I once heard people say that the population of the Warring States Period in Japan has been growing, while the population growth rate of the motherland has been declining, so the Warring States Period of Japan is happier than the motherland.

I can't agree more.

The wanton massacre of the population during the war and the destruction of production tools will lead to the destruction of productivity, famine and population decline.

Japan's frequent, low-intensity wars in Sengoku did not destroy productivity.

On the contrary, because of the needs of the struggle, more emphasis was placed on productivity, and foreign high-yield crops were introduced, and the population increased instead.

But does population growth necessarily mean happiness?Then why is the population growth rate low in some high-welfare countries?

If productivity increases, will people be happy?Wouldn't 996, 007 be happy to die?

During the Warring States period in Japan, productivity was indeed developed and the population increased, but the cruel and troubled times did not make people happy.

I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times.If anyone returns to that era, it will be as painful as Yi Yin.

I'm sorry to be human.Surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards, they are all cannibals.

It's too difficult to be a person, not a beast.

The high-level warriors are intriguing, the low-level Ji warriors have no bottom line, and the common people are reduced to pigs and dogs.

Everyone has torn up their conscience as a human being, seeking only to survive.Let others die, let yourself live.

Even if he wants to rescue Yukino who is loyal to him, Yiyin must express a set of logic acceptable to selfish warriors in order to pass the test.

To persuade Mitsuhide Akechi, he wanted to use her words to persuade Shiba's retainers.

Otherwise, even if Yukino was rescued, Shiba's retainers would be dissatisfied afterwards and would threaten both himself and Yukino.

This heart-wrenching and hopeless world.

As for the martial arts outside, it is estimated that they have to laugh at his husband's benevolence and miss the opportunity.Wu family, there is no good thing.

Yiyin wants to compromise, and it is not up to him alone.

In the current situation, compromising with the Ashikaga family is sacrificing the interests of the Shiba family. How can the Hime Samurai in the family agree.

For the sake of a little Takata Yukino, there must be a reasonable explanation for giving up the great opportunity to suppress the Ashikaga family and expand the interests of the Shiba family.

Yoshigin is just the leader of the Sipo family he revived, the leader of the Sipoji warriors, and a representative of interests.

Although he single-handedly created this martial arts interest group and has a certain right to make decisions, he cannot violate the fundamental interests of this group.

Whether it is helping Uesugi Terutora to attack Kanto, or rescuing Takada Yukino from the Ashikaga family, he must have the support of the retainer group.

In fact, the situation inside the Shiba family is already very good.

Because Yiyin has made great achievements in battle, and the leaders of various factions covet him, so he has quite a lot of autonomy as the governor of the family.

But even so, to bow to the Ashikaga family, in addition to making concessions to Ashikaga Yoshiki, you also need to seek understanding from internal forces.

In other words, authority will be weakened both internally and externally, and he will pay a heavy price.

Akechi Mitsuhide lowered his head in thought.

The master's negotiation with the Ashikaga family this time does not necessarily need to be submissive, both internally and externally, there is room for manipulation.

The Wu family is cunning, lacks integrity, and puts interests first in everything they do. They tear up agreements and discard promises at every turn.

Yoshihiro stated that he would not abandon a retainer, and fulfilled his promise twice with Yamanaka Yukimori and Takada Yukino.

In fact, this can be packaged as a promise to the various factions of the Shiba family, which will actually help strengthen the unity of the family.

This move did harm the interests of the Shiba family, but in the long run, it gave Siba's samurai family a reassurance, and even used this promise to unite the hearts of the family.

Akechi Mitsuhide is confident about this, because the Shiba family has just been integrated internally, and the loyalty to the lord is at its strongest.

Unlike what Yiyin was worried about, this incident still cannot shake the prestige of the lord.

Ever since she misled the various factions in the family with the excuse of marrying into a family, Shiba's retainers have far more solidarity with their lord than ordinary samurai retainers.

After all, there is a carrot hanging in front of the family. In the face of temporary losses, all factions in the family can bear it.

There are six major factions within the Shiba family.

Sakai Port Takada Yono and his sister have a deep relationship. Yoshihiro compromised in order to save Yukino, and the Takada family must support it.

There is a party in Nizishan, Yamanaka Yukimori's experience is similar to that of Takada Yukino, Nizi Katsuhisa has deep feelings for her, and the effect is the same.

Akechi Mitsuhide himself of course supports the lord, Niko Katsuhisa and her have monopolized the Shiba family's internal affairs and diplomacy, and will support the lord's approach at the strategic level.

Dao Shengmeng is in Peking University and is in charge of the selection of the new Tongxinzhong. This is a compliment from the lord, and it is a great kindness.

She will not be ignorant of the importance and add trouble to the Lord.

Maeda Yili is the master's loyal dog, the most trusted chief general in the family, and if everyone opposes it, she will firmly support that kind of dog licking.

Maeda Toshiie is far away in Owari, and there is almost no profit in the near future, let alone entanglement.

All high-level warriors are clearly arranged, so it will not be a problem.

As long as the lord remains single, and they still covet the lord, the high-level factions of the Shiba family will unite closely with the lord.

The main noise in the family comes from the middle and lower class samurai families.

The Iga Congregation, Peking University and Congregation were dismantled and diluted after being nationalized.

Territory changes, and foreign forces such as Xiguo Samurai, Mino Samurai, and Owari Samurai have infiltrated the area, and their influence is weakening day by day.

However, the foreign warriors have just arrived and have not yet formed an intertwined interest collusion.

The entire base of the Shiba family is fragmented and flat, and has not yet formed a joint force, so they dare to challenge the lord.

Therefore, in Akechi Mitsuhide's view, the Shiba family is controlled by the master, but the master is too cautious.

As long as he doesn't marry, he will break the dreams of all the factions in the family.At this point in time, the Shiba family can sacrifice their own interests to support the will of the lord.

He can be tougher, and he doesn't need to compromise the Ashikaga family.

A united Shiba family is stronger than the Ashikaga family.And because of the internal chaos in the shogunate, there is no disadvantage in fighting.

No, he accidentally gained the upper hand.

If it weren't for Yoshihiko Shiba's soft heart and his willingness to compromise for the sake of the righteousness in his heart, the Ashikaga family fell sharply this time.

Akechi Mitsuhide will not understand what Yoshigin really thinks, she just thinks that Yoshigin's actions are to implement her own giri, which is the white moonlight in her heart.

As for Takada Yukino, it was just a lucky little guy who happened to meet him at the right time.

Therefore, with the power that the master now possesses, there is no need to bow down to the Ashikaga family, and it is completely possible to confront them with a tough attitude.

The overall situation must be taken into account, but the concession is not for a small retainer, but for the guardian system that everyone maintains together.

Could it be that the Ashikaga family still dare to gossip and make the Shiba family angry?
If you have the guts, why set up a trap for Takada Yukino to pry Shiba Yoshiyin's attitude in an attempt to regain the initiative.

Had it not been for the news of the Miyoshi family and the Rokkaku family coming to Beijing, the Ashikaga family would have almost succeeded in taking the initiative.

Now that Yoshihiro Shiba is willing to make concessions, how dare her family stick their noses in the face?

If you really annoy Shiba Yoshiyin, it will be of no benefit to anyone.

After careful consideration, he felt that there was no problem, so Mitsuhide kowtowed to the ground and spoke to Yiyin.

"The lord is righteous, never abandoning his retainers, Shiba's retainers should be very grateful.

The Shiba family is revived by you alone, and the Siba people are only looking forward to you.

Lord, just let go and do things, who dares not to obey. "

Yamanaka Yukimori followed and kowtowed.

"With one heart and one heart, we are willing to be loyal to the Lord, and death is not imminent!
If someone is ungrateful, regardless of superiority or inferiority, I will kill him for His Highness. "

Yoshigin praised Yamanaka Yukimori and asked Akechi Mitsuhide.

"You mean I can be tougher?"

Akechi Mitsuhide replied.

"My lord is the master of the revival of the Shiba family, with great achievements in battle, unparalleled in the world.

All the samurai under Shi Bo's command are rewarded by you, and they are willing to be eagle dogs. The family is all grateful.

The Lord made concessions to the Ashikaga family in order to stabilize the shogunate and maintain the guardian system.This is an act of taking the overall situation into consideration, and it is the righteousness of the Wu family.

If the Ashikaga family is making progress, can I wait for Shiba to do the story of the Miyoshi family?Does Mr. Gongfang really dare to force my family to rebel? "

Yiyin nodded repeatedly.

Yup!I didn't make concessions for Uesugi Terutora and Yukino, but for the sake of the overall situation of the shogunate, I gave the Ashikaga family a little bit of noodle.

Ashikaga Yoshiki, don't be shameless!
