A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Nawu's busyness has nothing to do with Xiaoheita at the moment, because there is new news from Uncle Tsunari in Kyoto.

In the eyes of Uncle Tsunato, it was just some insignificant things. Similarly, Yamauchi's stay in Kyoto also conveyed news from Kyoto to Yamauchi Yoshiharu.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu must have also known about it, but he had no reaction. For Shinano Country, it may not be a big deal.

The first one is that Isshiki Mino Mori of Mino was appointed as the fourth-ranking doctor Kei Zhao. From now on, he can also be respectfully called Isshiki Kei Zhao Mino Mori.

According to uncle Tsunato's gossip, the official position of Dr. Keizhao was purely to bring happiness to the Isshiki Mino Mamoru.

This Isshiki Mino Mamoru's name is Saito Yoshiryu, and the meaning of "Oki" is that this person is about to die of illness, and he should be happy before he dies.

The combined meaning is that Saito Yoshiryu, the leader of the Mino Kingdom who killed his father and became independent a few years ago, is ill! And very sick! Not only the Saito family, but even the ministers in Kyoto knew that this man was about to reach the end of his life.

It is said that this news was revealed by his biological uncle Nagai Chuemon Michuri when he came to Kyoto to deliver the report. Forget about other retainers, it is really puzzling that the whole family revealed this kind of news without caring.

Kodaira doesn't remember what disease Yoshiryu Saito died of anyway, and the history is unclear. There are even legends that he was infected with leprosy and suffered a divine punishment.

But if he dies, the master of the Meinong Kingdom will fall on his son who is just over ten years old! The young master of the country has doubts. You can know without asking.

Another news that goes with this news is also very "ordinary". The leader of Owari Kingdom, Oda Nobunaga, not only took advantage of the time when Saito Yoshiryu was seriously ill, but repeatedly sent troops to harass Mino Kingdom. He also continued to win over and divide the people of Meinong, and there were many people who were secretly flirting with him.

In addition, Nobunaga raised funds and manpower in Owari, and issued a general request for Komaki. To ordinary people, it seemed that he was building an advance base to attack Mino Country, but Kodaira knew that Nobunaga was abandoning Kiyosu Castle and moving the city directly to Komaki.

Not only that, in order to better compete for the land along the Nagara River and Kiso River, Oda Nobunaga will also send capable retainers to the Mogu area to build a wall, and thus allow a middle- and lower-level retainer samurai to greatly improve his power. Neighboring countries became famous.

Naturally, these things have nothing to do with the distant Shinano Province. At most, when the Saito clan is half dead, they can exert some effort on the Naegi Toyama clan and the Iwamura Toyama clan in Higashi Mino.

Another piece of news slightly touched Yamauchi Yoshiharu, but that was all. He was watching the development of the situation.

Minami Omi's Sasaki Kyōjo, the doctor Seizada, also known as Rokkaku Yoshihide, was severely defeated in the previous battle of Norada. His prestige was severely damaged, so he simply gave up the family business to his legitimate son Sasaki Danmasadada, also known as Rokkaku Yoshiharu.

This is of course understandable and is a normal political operation. But in fact, the wealthy Japanese families in Minami-Omi not only began to flirt with Kitanomi Asai and Echizen Asakura, but also violated the orders of the Rokkaku clan.

Rokkaku Yoshiharu is a strong and decisive person. Being strong means that he dares to fight on the battlefield and dares to kill in daily affairs. Being decisive means just thinking about it, doing it right away without thinking too much, and then talking about other things after you finish it.

This quality cannot be said to be bad. When it comes to successful people, it is naturally a great compliment. When it comes to Rokkaku Yoshiharu, it has some other meanings.

Rokkaku Yoshiharu killed one of Sasaki Ryotou's important ministers, Goto Tajima Moriken Yutaka and his son. Of course he was very happy when he killed him. He killed the people in power in the family, and there was a power vacuum. If he used his name to suppress it, he might be able to control people's hearts.

But unfortunately, he thought wrong. After he took action at the end of last year, Sasaki Ryotō's other Kondo Sadaharu immediately launched a rebellion. This time Rokkaku Yoshiharu could not kill people with his "strong determination" again. So immediately, the Nagata clan, Mikami clan, Ikeda clan, and Hirai clan rebelled.

Even the Miyun, Pu Sheng, and Yujiang clans escaped from Guanyin Temple City and returned to their territory one after another to prepare troops for war. They were neutral on the surface and expanded their strength secretly.

Minami Omi fought hard for half a year, but in the end it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, a good tiger could not fight a pack of wolves, and Rokkaku Yoshiji was completely defeated. Not only did they lose the power that the Sasaki clan had accumulated over hundreds of years, but they also lost almost all the territory that directly belonged to the Sasaki Rokkaku clan.

The former retainers of the Rokkaku clan were all very fat, and bad things began to happen internally, such as dogs biting dogs, and the spoils being divided unevenly. So Taishu Kamou, who looked the least ugly but also ate a lot, came forward.

Anyway, no one is convinced by anyone, and it is impossible for anyone to stand up and be the big brother. Why don't you, the Rokkaku family, continue to do what you do, and everyone will still follow you on the surface, and the Guanyin Temple's land will continue to be reserved for your Rokkaku family, and you can earn two porridges a year. From now on, if anything happens to Minami Omi, your Rokkaku family won't have the final say. The important ministers will discuss it together and everyone will vote to handle the matter.

Rokkaku Yoshiharu had no choice but to accept mediation. At this point, the Rokkaku clan, the daimyo of Minami Omi who could have influenced the situation in Kinki, lost power and lost the ability to conquer the world.

And the aftermath of this incident will not be just that, it will inevitably become bigger and bigger, more intense and deeper.

After reading the news sent by his uncle Tsunari, Koheita was a little distracted. Nobunaga had already embarked on the road to unify the world. God had really favored him. The two powerful enemies on the road to Luo were now experiencing internal strife and changes.

"Come on, the owner of Zuowei Store is here." Chen San ran over to report.

"Please come quickly." Xiao Pingtai folded the letter carefully, put it into a wooden box, and then put it into a hidden compartment in the cupboard. After carefully making sure that no traces were left, she walked out.

"Tanzama is so patient! His character is really admirable. He can earn thousands of dollars a day outside, but Tanmasa can still sit peacefully at home." Sukezaemon's face was filled with joy.

"It's just something that has been expected for a long time. It's not worth making a fuss about." "Chen San, serve tea quickly." The two of them sat on the earthen verandah. The weather was a bit hot. There were bamboo curtains on the verandah to block the sun and some light. natural wind. It’s more welcoming and more comfortable than a stuffy room.

"The inventory has been basically cleared. After some calculations, the price per liter is slightly more than twelve yuan. That's more than four times the profit! You really have good foresight!"

"So in total, you have 40,000 guan in your store?" "About 43,500 guan."

"Forget the rest, I'll give the guys two bucks, which will be calculated as forty-three thousand five hundred guan, and we'll split the account between thirty-seven and thirty-seven." Xiao Pingtai looked calm and calm.

"Okay, should the money be kept in the locker, or should it be sent to Danzheng's house?" "No hurry, let me think about it."

"Then I'm calling you at any time. You can do whatever you want. I still have something to do in the store, so I'll take my leave first." Sukezaemon stood up, and Koheita also stood up to see him off.

"By the way, the guy who just came back from Ise Bay said that Mr. Owari is planning to form a marriage alliance with the Asai clan in Kitaomi!"
