A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was not planning to go back to Yamauchi immediately after he returned to Kyoto. After two years, he wanted to come to Kyoto to fulfill his obligation to serve the public. At the same time, he informed Yamauchi Yoshiharu of the situation in Kyoto and served as a liaison link.

After all, the Yamauchi family was a Warring States daimyo born from the old feudal system, and it was inevitable that there were many rules and regulations under the old system. I won’t say whether it’s good or bad, but it can be said that the young master is the only one who has stayed in Kyoto for a long time. If we push forward fifty or even a hundred years, Kyoto would have been filled with disciples from all over the world, and even many of the guardian daimyo of the territories would have gathered in Kyoto.

Kyoto, where the Muromachi shogunate was located, was the center of the world at that time and the place where national power was concentrated. A single edict could determine the ownership of a country. The shogunate at that time was the real shogunate. Now you can know the decline of the shogunate just by looking at the scattered public figures.

Today's daimyo still have some sincere respect for the shogunate. Logically speaking, the guardians who should be appointed by the shogun are inherited from the daimyo's own family. The daimyo are more concerned about the management and expansion of their own territories. The social atmosphere has slowly changed from maintaining a unified central government to maintaining their own rule.

The power of the world has been slowly dispersed from the hands of the shogunate generals who once arrogantly conquered the world to the daimyo of each territory. The era when the shogunate who once controlled Kyoto controlled the political power of the world has passed. It is the time to control the actual territory and army. Take real power.

Just look at the famous names from all over the country that have rolled up to Kyoto over the years. Which one would send the young master to serve under the general? It no longer exists, it doesn’t exist.

That's why it is said that the Yamauchi family is a white lotus in troubled times. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu did not just say that he wanted to serve his father, but he really came to Beijing to work.

As for Naoe Keizuna, he saw that the general was safe and sound, and his power was even greater. With nothing to worry about, he returned to Echigo with his troops and horses. The mess that Echigo had always left behind needed someone with the ability to manage politics like him to take care of it. Echigo's group of muscle men can let them go to war, but letting them restore their livelihood is not their strong point. 【Note 1】

As for Mrs. Kohei, she was originally going to visit Uncle Tsunari. I was worried about their family's safety in the imperial palace before, but after thinking about it, I felt relieved. Where is this? Kyoto! Kyoto, where the emperor is!

Xiaoheita's trip to the capital was not to get into the muddy waters of Kyoto, but because of fate, she was forced to get involved in it. Because of this, he greatly hated Matsunagahide and indirectly slapped Miyoshi Changqing in the face. Although the Yamauchi family and the Miyoshi family were separated by mountains and seas, Xiaoping always felt that the gain was not worth the loss because he had such a powerful enemy for nothing.

But speaking of which, although the Miyoshi family controls most of Kinki, even the Yamashiro country where Kyoto is located has been controlled by the Miyoshi family's tentacles. Therefore, the Kyoto governor who should be appointed by the shogunate was replaced by Miyoshi Nagakei, the governor, and then another Kyoto governor was appointed.

But judging from this confrontation, the old forces of the imperial court and shogunate in Kyoto are still a tyrannical local snake, and strong dragons may not be able to suppress them.

In addition, Sanhao Changqing actually had a very contradictory relationship with the court, with good times and bad times. However, the Sanhao family still cannot do such things as attacking and killing more than three ministers in the capital. If they kill all the ministers in the wild, they will be killed. Killing a minister in Kyoto and slapping the emperor and the court in the face is a shame. An enemy of the court is absolutely indispensable.

So Xiaopingta put aside his initial worries and after thinking about it seriously, he never worried about the safety of Uncle Tsunari and his family at all. He was floating around and was not afraid at all.

As for Xiaopingtai, when she returned to Uncle Tsunley's house, she was really enjoying her life. The chaos in Kyoto has not had much impact on these salty fish ministers at all. Except for a few people who are running back and forth to mediate, the others are basically the melon-eating masses who watch and shout 666.

Of course there was a reason for Xiaopingta to come here. He had agreed to let his cheap uncle act as an informant for him in Kyoto and establish a message relay station to pass back all the major and minor events in the Western Kingdom and Kyoto back to Yamauchi.

Moreover, Uncle Tsunari has really become more and more prosperous in recent times. The white faces of the Kyoto ministers generally become rounder, and when they see Xiao Heita, he is called a good nephew. Kodaira first tested Uncle Tsunari to see if he was still so fond of tea parties, Japanese songs, and poetry gatherings recently.

"Why don't you see your highnesses coming today?" The last time Mrs. Xiaoping came, several of the high officials sang harmony with Uncle Tsunari, and the songs they wrote were quite "beautiful."

"Recently, Luo Jing is not in peace, so we can't hold a meeting. I heard that my good nephew also had a conflict with Matsunaga Danzheng?" Uncle Tsunato was obviously a little lonely and bored, and the rare opportunity to chat and spank in life was ruined.

"It's just an insignificant person, but my uncle's life has been greatly affected." Xiao Pingtai responded casually.

"My wise nephew is both wise and brave, and has an unparalleled heroic appearance. Naturally, I regard him as a native chicken and a dog." Uncle Tsunley covered his face with a fan and smiled.

"My nephew is here today, but I have some small things to ask my uncle." After hearing what Xiao Pingtai said, Aji and Chen San immediately understood and moved the wooden box they were carrying on their backs from outside. Xiao Pingtai signaled them to put the wooden box in Open.

Uncle Tsunari had been waiting for Xiaopingtao to speak for a long time. When he saw the two heavy wooden boxes, he even felt a little impatient, "My dear nephew, it doesn't matter if you say it."

"Please uncle, please continue to make friends with all the nobles, and inquire about news in the capital for your nephew." Xiaoping Tai spoke very straightforwardly and clearly.

"There are two hundred taels of gold in these two wooden boxes and thirty guanwen of Yongle money. I hope my uncle will accept it as a small sum of money for tea and wine." Xiao Pingtai took out a huge sum of money, and Uncle Tsunli listened to this. The numbers laughed so loudly.

"At the end of each month, we only need to send a trustworthy family member to send the news to Ejiri, and my nephew will be appointed as Ejiri Castle. You can also bring back some seasonal fruits back to the capital to honor your uncle." Koheita requested.

"Of course you can, of course you can." Uncle Tsunley agreed.

The most important thing that Xiao Pingtai will do this time has been arranged, and he is not planning to stay in Beijing anymore. However, it was impossible to return to Sakai Town by boat. After all, there were tens of thousands of people fighting in the Izumi River area, so Koheita could only take the land route.

It's good to think about it this way. Anyway, I don't have any money on me so I'm not afraid of being robbed, and I have a master of tachi skills like Kanai Meigoro by my side. We can also meet brothers Tokichiro and Koichiro.
