A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"It seems that there is no need to act like this." Koheita heard that brothers Ashikaga Yoshiki decided to spend a lot of money to win over Miyoshi Yoshitsugi.

"Oh? What do you say, Heita-chan?" Ashikaga Yoshiki felt that his brother's move was quite good.

Although the general's daughter is no longer as valuable as a hundred years ago, it is still a scarce resource. It is even said to be a very useful scarce resource, the kind that can produce miraculous effects if used well.

If it were just such a casual throw, it would be too much and unacceptable.

"Can you first test the sincerity of Miyoshi Sanzhoushou?" Miyoshi Fujitaka and monk Jueqing were both interested after hearing this.

"How?" Monk Jueqing asked.

"It seems that Sakai's town fees haven't been paid yet, right?" Koheita mentioned an important event.

I have mentioned before that Sakai's annual town fee is as high as 20,000 kanfu. As long as you have this money, you can immediately arm thousands of ashigaru, which is a big piece of fat that everyone covets.

But it is a pity that Miyoshi Nagakei died, the overlord of Kinki fell, and no one who could replace him was born. The big bosses of Sakai Kaichou have poisonous eyes. They are all bosses who don't let go of rabbits when they see rabbits.

Now that no one can defeat the heroes and dominate the territory, they will naturally not hand over the protection fee smoothly. They are waiting for a big boss who can become the boss of Kinki, only then they will be willing to pay happily.

Therefore, the eyes of the Miyoshi trio, Matsunaga Danmasa and his son, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu surrounding Sakai are now glowing green. Everyone is staring at a sum of money, for fear of falling into the hands of someone else.

Even though the relationship between Matsunagahide and Sakai Huizhu was good before, but now that their words have been ruined, they still won't give them a penny. Friendship belongs to friendship, money belongs to money, every yard counts.

Of these three parties, the one who is the weakest and needs the most money and food is naturally Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

He came from Shikoku to Kinki to inherit the Miyoshi clan. Unfortunately, he encountered multiple obstacles. Although the succession was successful, the huge legacy left by the cheap father Miyoshi Chokei has long been divided up by the Miyoshi trio and Matsunaga Danmasa and his son. The only ones that fell into his hands were the small Izumi Hankoku and Hanoi Hankoku. This was barely saved because of the great help of his uncle Miyoshi Yasunaga and others.

What kind of person Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is, no one here can judge. Even Ashikaga Yoshiki, who had met him once, could not describe what kind of person this young house governor, who was only in his teens, was.

What Xiaoheita meant was to spend such a huge sum of money from Sakai Town Fee to see how this person was doing.

Although the shogunate has no way to intervene in Sakai's affairs, the power to dispatch acting officials to this free city lies in the hands of the shogun. Therefore, after Oda Nobunaga came to Luo, he immediately asked Ashikaga Yoshiaki to issue a royal letter confirming Oda Nobunaga's management authority over Sakai.

And now Koheita wants Ashikaga Yoshiteru to hand over the management of Sakai to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. Firstly, it can be seen that he will have the courage and decisiveness to break the balance between the three parties and demand this huge sum of money from Sakai. Secondly, it can be inferred about this person. Are you willing to raise the banner of the shogunate and accept its solicitation?

Anyway, Ashikaga Yoshiki, a weakling, cannot receive Sakai's money, so it is better to use it to strengthen Miyoshi Yoshitsugi and let him and the other two parties fight to the death.

As long as Miyoshi Yoshitsugu proves his worth and shows that he is not a helpless man, and can contain the two hungry wolves of the three Miyoshis and Matsunaga Danmasa for the general, then he is qualified to be the general's brother-in-law. .

Ashikaga Yoshiki seemed to think that the 20,000 guan was his own, and he actually showed a pained expression on his face, but he knew the importance of it after all, and thought that Xiaoheita was right. The monks Kakuqing and Mibuchi Fujitaka who made the move also nodded frequently. After hearing what Xiaoheita said, it really shouldn't be so easy to marry Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

That's right! The daughter of the general's family is very valuable, so she should at least find a younger brother who can fight before marrying her.

After everyone expressed their approval, they were ready to ask Isshiki Fujinaga, who had a good relationship with Miyoshi Yasunaga, to deliver the message. After all, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is currently in charge of Miyoshi Yasunaga and Kanayama Suruga Mamoru. If these two can be explained, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu can almost be explained.

Seeing that everyone was about to leave the meeting, Kodaira decided to go all out and help Ashikaga Yoshiteru to trick a few more people.

"Your Highness, wait a minute. Since we have managed to win over Miyoshi Sanzhou Shou, the other two parties should also try to weaken them."

As soon as the words came out, everyone became interested.

"Although the three good people occupied the cities of Koshizui, Iimori, Akutagawa, etc., and even spied on Kyoto at Shoryuji Temple. On the surface, the three of them are sincerely united, but they are one body and one heart, and their hands and feet sometimes cannot cooperate, let alone three people?"

"You don't have to intervene to drive a wedge between the three of them. You just need to provoke them a little and then wait and see what happens."

Xiaoping was talking eloquently, and several people gathered around him.

"The Settsu Kingdom relied on Miyoshi's military power to calm down, but in fact there was an undercurrent. Your Highness could not have secretly sent a message to the Araki clan and the Ikeda clan, promising to protect the Settsu half of the country. All it takes is to defeat the three Miyoshi people. Realization, no matter what happens in the future, this is just a free and easy promise. "

"Even if they don't accept it now, they will plant a seed in their hearts and wait for it to sprout."

"It's really Danzheng..." Mibuchi Fujitaka touched his chin and looked at Xiaoheita with twinkling eyes.

Koheita smiled and responded to Mibuchi Fujitaka, and continued.

"In addition, Matsunaga Danmasa and his son cannot let go. Although the Tsutsui family is now a bereaved dog, they can still provide some support."

Nowadays, the Tsutsui family has been beaten by Matsunagahide and his son so much that they have no place to hide, and they can only fight guerrillas in the ravine. Not to mention any power, not even a hammer is left.

But Koheta knew that the Tsutsui clan could survive this calamity, and in the end even obtained the Yamato Hanban National Security Blockade.

"Tamasa, this Tsutsui is already a turtle in the urn, and will be destroyed by Matsunaga Tanmasa sooner or later." Monk Jueqing was in Yamato, and he knew this kind of news quite clearly.

"A centipeded insect is dead but not stiff. What's more, Matsunaga Danzheng entered Yamato for no less than ten years, and Tawen Mountain and Shinki Mountain fell one after another. But the Tsutsui family has always been immortal, and it has its own merits."

Of course, Monk Jueqing was not stupid. His brain was even more flexible and easier to use than his brother. As soon as Xiaoping Tai said what he said, he felt that he was right.

"Then secretly send troops to help in the war?" "No, let's give him some money, food, and soldiers first. Your Highness can't take action personally, so as not to intensify the conflict." Xiao Pingtai's idea is to let the Tsutsui family be the troublemaker, which disgusts Matsuhisa Hide.

In this way, he grabbed Miyoshi Yoshitsugi and gave him a claim, while at the same time fanning the flames in the backyard of the other two hungry wolves.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru can always continue to persevere in Kyoto!
