Chapter 722 Proud General

Recently, the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

The general summoned the judges of the shogunate, together with the companions from various families close to the shogunate, to start the winter review.

After the daily shogunate government affairs were finished, Akechi Mitsuhide was pulled out by Ashikaga Yoshiki to reprimand him again.

"What's going on with Mr. Kenshin! He reopened his office in Kanto without reporting to the shogunate. It's shocking and lawless!"

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed his head and admitted his mistake. This was the third time she was pulled out by Ashikaga Yoshiki to scold her since the beginning of winter.Not only she got used to it, but the samurai in Kyoto also got used to it.

At first, everyone thought that the Ashikaga family and the Shiba family were going to turn against each other, but after watching too much, they realized that the general's momentum was great, but the actual significance was very small.

She repeatedly ordered Shibo Yoshiyin to return to Kyoto, only asking him to explain the edict issued by Yujian in Kanto.

The seemingly vicious Ashikaga Yoshiki is more like a wife begging her husband to return home, tough on the outside and soft on the inside.

If you really want to be ruthless, regaining the identity of Mitsuhide Akechi and driving her out of Kyoto is a powerful deterrent.

Akechi Mitsuhide is a diplomatic service of Shiba Yoshigin who stayed in the territory of Jinji Shiba. Once he is deprived of the shogunate status and expelled by the general, he will not be eligible to stay in Kyoto, which will have a far-reaching impact.

But the general increased the scale of scolding again and again, pulling Mitsuhide Akechi out to make a show, but he just didn't do things right.

Shiba Yoshiyin used the Imperial Sword Edict in the Kanto, and he had the right to kill first and then play, but he would report it to the shogunate for the record afterwards.

He used the edict to do five main things.

First, deprive the Shiina family of the guardianship of Vietnam.

Second, re-open the east office in Echigo.

Third, establish the Hime samurai group, the Odairen.

Fourth, Uesugi Terutora of Echigo was ordered to attack Shinano's Harunobu Takeda.

Fifth, transfer the Ogasawara family's guardianship of the Shinano country to Takeda Harunobu.

The general had denounced Akechi Mitsuhide twice before, accusing Shiba Yoshigin of abusing his power, depriving the Shiina family of the guardian of the country of Yue, and giving Takeda Harunobu the guardian of the country.

These two things have a relatively small impact.

The shogunate has declined, and it has long lost its actual jurisdiction over the samurai families that are not far away.Replacement does not replace the guardianship position, but only protects the procedural justice in the system.

For the local samurai, this status is useful, and it is worth donating money in exchange for the support of the shogunate.But maintaining local rule mainly depends on whose fists are strong and who has more horses.

And this time the scolding of the establishment of the Kanto Office has raised the severity to another level. This is the signal sent by Ashikaga Yoshiki.

She was not cursing people in the order in which Yujian's order was issued, but more like an attitude of escalating step by step and increasing threats to the Shiba family.

Warrior Ji, warrior, and servant all mean the same thing, but the first name that appeared was servant.

The rudiment of the Samurai family was a violent group that guarded the home of the emperor and his ministers.Their status is not high, they are called servants.

The first general, Minamoto Yoritomo, had not yet received the emperor's permission to become the general who conquered barbarians, and before the establishment of the shogunate, the management agency established in Kamakura was the servant.

To put it simply, the initial shogunate only had servants, and other shogunate institutions such as government offices were gradually enriched later.

The Kamakura shogunate was the first shogunate with a simple structure. It mainly relied on the system of servants and royal family members to control the Ji warriors, and the servants had great power.

Shiba Yoshiyin re-opened the East Office in Kanto, not only embarrassing Kyoto, which has lost most of its rights, and became a servant of the security brigade, it is more like an act of provoking the general.

If it wasn't for him accepting Yujian, he has already been acquiesced as the general's husband, and the imperial family of Hanoi Genji's descendant, this kind of behavior would be rebellion.

However, he re-opened the Toshi Office with Yujian's order, and only Ashikaga Yoshiki could scold him, and this matter turned into a family affair of the Ashikaga family.

The general scolded for a while, and finally asked Mitsuhide Akechi, who looked terrified and respectful.

"When will Mr. Kenshin come back? Shouldn't he come back and explain to me?"

Akechi Mitsuhide explained with contempt in his heart.

"My lord general, calm down, the roads are blocked by heavy snow in winter, and the Hokuriku Road is not smooth and it is difficult to travel."

Akechi Mitsuhide seemed to be flustered when he spoke, but in fact he kept his back.

With the heavy snow in winter, my master can't come back, but I didn't say he would come back.It's none of my business if I don't come back after spring, I didn't say anything.

Ashikaga Yoshiki has been playing this kind of word game with the vassals for many years, of course it is clear.She glanced at the submissive Akechi Mitsuhide, unable to see through this man's mind.

Saying that she is not loyal, the Shiba family did help Ashikaga Yoshiki everywhere under her representative, allowing the general to rectify the shogunate, and the action of integrating the shogunate went much smoother.

Saying that she is loyal to the shogunate, I always feel that something is wrong.She is good at dancing in Kyoto, and has a good relationship with various families, and hooks up with Matsunaga Hideo, who is active in the Miyoshi family in Yamashiro State.

The wise Mitsuhide with this elegant posture, whether it is reward or punishment, praise or scolding, always accepts it with a smile, which is hard to figure out.

Ashikaga Yoshiki glanced at Mibuchi Haruhito, Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Hatakeyama Takamasa who were present.

She intensified her scolding of the Shiba family step by step, not for this sensible Mitsuhide who doesn't care about food and salt, but for others to see.

The original local powerful faction of the shogunate was broken up in the recent battles, and the current powerful faction was reassembled by Shiba Yoshigin.

The Sanyuan family was supported by Shiba Yoshiyin, and occupied Beihanoi's [-] stones.

Izumi Hosokawa's family was preserved by Shiba Yoshinobu, maintaining Izumi's territory of more than [-] shi.

Hatakeyama Gao's family business collapsed, and he had no choice but to seek refuge with Shibo Yiyin, and only then did he get back the tens of thousands of shattered stones in the Hanoi Kingdom.

These three families, together with Beidaihe and Iga's Jinjishiba, led [-] shi, forming a new local power faction of the shogunate, with a mobilization force of more than [-] shi.

With the fall of Ise Sadako, Ashikaga Yoshiki took control of Nijo, Sakamoto, Fushimi and other cities to completely grasp the control of the shogunate.

She is now able to control the territory of the vassals of the Yamashiro Kingdom and surrounding countries, and with the commercial, tax and business interests of Kyoto, the mobilization force can be five or six hundred thousand shi.

As long as the local power faction supports Ashikaga Yoshiki, the Ashikaga family's army will be able to return to the mobilization force of a million stones.It is enough to suppress the countries in recent times, and it will put more pressure on the Sanhao family and the Liujiao family.

Shiba Yoshigin ordered Akechi Mitsuhide to support the general before he went to Kanto, and she did the same.

But this support is not reliable, and it is far less reassuring than Yoshiki Ashikaga's grasping the local power faction in his hands.

She continued to intensify, berating Akechi Mitsuhide.

On the one hand, it is hoped that Yoshihiro Shiba will return to Kyoto to form a bond with her, complete the merger of the two Ashiba families, and completely merge the forces within the shogunate.

On the other hand, it is also to test the Mibuchi family, the Izumi Hosokawa family, and the Kawachi Hatakeyama family to see if they are consistently keeping up with the Shiba family.

If some local powerful factions can be divided and they can take refuge in the thriving Ashikaga family, the chances of suppressing Yoshigin Shiba will be greater.

Just as Ashikaga Yoshiki said when Shiba Yoshigin left Kyoto.When he comes back, the two will have another round.

The arrogant Ashikaga Yoshiki vowed to become a powerful general and to make Shiba Yoshigin marry him willingly.
