different warring states of japan

Chapter 371
As the sun rises in the east, members of the Shiba Kamisan family meet up in the castle town of Kyoto.

Maeda Yoshiki, Akechi Mitsuhide, Nizi Katsuhisa and all Shiba's retainers came to see him off.

Nobuzuna Umizumi and his three disciples had already been waiting for a long time to accompany him to the Kanto.

Yoshigin was on a mission on behalf of the shogunate, and the concubines of the shogunate also came to see them off, led by Haruto Mibuchi, Kiyoshi Ninagawa, and Yoshimasa Wada.

Mibuchi Haruyuki was also helpless, Hosokawa Fujitaka was stimulated by something, something was wrong these few days, and he refused to come here today.

As the governor of the Mibuchi family of Hosokawa Mibuchi, she had no choice but to come here on behalf of her allies to show the unity and harmony of the local powerful factions.

Okino Ninagawa is now the representative of the shogunate faction, and the Ise family has completely broken its back because of Ashikaga Yoshiki's statement during the review.

This time is different from the past, the general's attitude is very tough, and he no longer has scruples about the Hojo family behind the Ise family, and all the concubines are not optimistic about her family.

Although Ninagawa's own relative controls the government office and holds great power, he still feels uneasy in his heart.

The general can take down the Ise family this time, what if it is the Ninagawa family next time?
Once the Ashikaga family began to gather rights and tasted the sweetness.

Even if the vassals who are Ashikaga retainers are perfect, sooner or later they will find excuses to punish them and clean them up one by one.

Everyone understands the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Although she is on the side of the general, her heart is cold and she has no joy of winning.

Compared with Ninagawa's own life, Wada Yuomasa's life is more difficult.

Compared with a year ago, this elegant shogunate envoy has frost on his temples, and there are many more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

As a vassal whose territory is in the Liujiao family, the rapid deterioration of the relationship between the two parties made her very uncomfortable.

When Rokkaku Sadayori was the Governor of Rokkaku, she and Ashikaga Yoshiki were black hat relatives, and they were the strongest supporters of the shogunate in recent days.

Wada Yoomasa, who has the dual status of shogunate and hexagonal vassal, was reused, and he was full of vigor for all parties in the shogunate's diplomacy.

Unexpectedly, it has only been a year since Liujiao Dinglai died, and the relationship between the two parties has returned to the past, even worse.

Hetian Weizheng is not a human being inside and outside, and he is much older with worries.

The best shogunate in the current shogunate is Mibuchi Haruhito, one of his two daughters is in charge of Izumi Hosokawa's family, and the other is Kitakachi guardian generation.

The general relies heavily on the alliance of the three local powerful factions of Shiba Hosokawa and Mibuchi, and the status of Mibuchi Haruhiko has also risen with the tide, and he feels proud.

It's just that Moto Hosokawa often stepped down. This good old man felt indebted and always felt sorry for his sister.

When I met Fujitaka Hosokawa again, I got emotional, and I was also in a bad mood.

The three headed vassals were all depressed, and the scene was naturally very cold.

Yoshiyin looked at the Imperial Palace from a distance, and asked Mibuchi Haruyuki a question.

"Aunt, do you have any orders from the general?"

Sanyuan Qingyuan Shanshan Road.

"Master Gongfang asked me to bring you a sentence, saying that we will start another round when you come back."

Yiyin smiled slightly, you are so arrogant, just do it.

Seeing the embarrassment on Sanyuan Qingyuan's face, it's not good to embarrass this close elder.

Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't come either, probably because of his cruel refusal, which broke her heart.I hope she will come out sooner, and we will still be friends in the future.

It was not early, and after a few words on the scene, the group got on their horses and left Beijing.

Yiyin glanced back, rode his horse and swung his whip away.

Imperial Palace, Sword Room.

Ashikaga Yoshiki kept swinging his sword, his heart was peaceful, and Yoshinori's words played back in his mind.

Do you like my [-] stone territory, this skin, or me?

With a cold snort, she swung the knife heavily, then sheathed the knife and looked at Takata Yukino who was practicing together.

"Why don't you go and send your Patriarch off?"

"The Lord has ordered me to protect the general."

"Tch, I still need your protection."

Ashikaga Yoshiki said dismissively, but there was a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was warmth in his heart.

Shiba Yoshihiro, I will pack up the shogunate and wait for you to come back, and then I will settle accounts with you.

Troubled man, I want you to marry me willingly.

Sakai Port, Shiba Shinsengumi station.

In the meeting hall, Takada Yono sat at the main seat, and the lower head and the left and right were Yui Hihama and Sohisa Imai.

She frowned, looked at the letter in front of her, and said.

"There is an order from the lord to order us to open up the nearest commercial route to the Hokuriku Road and reach Echigo.

What do you think? "

Yui Hihama Yui said.

"Follow your Highness' orders."

She is the leader of the Shinsengumi and the military chief of the Shiba family in Sakai Port.

The Shinsengumi has a small number of people, but it is the only military presence of the Shiba family in Western Japan, and its status is detached.

Yubihama's family got this lucrative job, and they have formed their own faction independently from the Iga crowd. They are grateful to their lord and work faithfully.

On the other hand, Imai Zongjiu hesitated.

"Negotiations with various merchants in Sakai Port are still in progress. The original plan was to occupy the nearby areas first, and then gradually expand the Tokaido, Higashiyama, and Hokuriku roads.

If the Hokuriku Road is opened up alone, not only will the income be damaged, but some businesses will also be threatened by the opportunity. "

She was right.

If you want to lay business roads to transport supplies, the strength of the Imai family alone is far from enough. You must contact other merchants and use their footholds and connections.

The trade route is not linear, but a web like a spider's web.

The denser the network, the higher the benefits obtained and the more tentacles reached.

If the first line of Hokuriku Road is opened up alone, it will not only lose a lot of commercial benefits.

It will also give the businessmen who operate the first line of Hokuriku Road the opportunity to raise prices on the ground, and demand more benefits, and the losses will be great.

Yang Nai asked without answering her words.

"How about negotiating with the merchants who buy and sell military supplies?"

"There are not many merchants involved in food and grass, iron cannons, bows and arrows, knives and guns, hoods, war horses and other armaments.

Most of those who dare to participate in these materials have some means, and there are also businessmen involved in Bodo, it is difficult to coerce them to accept my family's participation.

Today, only [-]% of the shares can be invested, but all types of transactions are involved, which is convenient for monitoring transaction trends and selling targets. "

Yango nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Imai Sohisa's efforts.

She was able to participate in [-]% of the arms trade in Sakai Port, which was already stimulated by the samurai status bestowed by Yoshin Shiba, and she used all her strength.

Although he paid a lot of money, Imai Zongjiu felt it was worth it, and the merchants in Sakai Port were also full of jealousy for the fact that Imai House became the Imai family.

Although there is only one word difference between the identity of the merchant and the Wu family, it is a world of difference.

Merchants can earn tens of thousands of fortunes, but they are just livestock raised by the Wu family society. When the owner needs it, the blood is bled and the flesh is cut.

Even if the family business of the Wu family is ruined, and there is only one person left with one knife, as long as they can still be rewarded by the public, they will have a chance to bottom out.

Now that the world is getting chaotic, the fact that the Shiba family would grant the status of Ji samurai to a businessman also made the businessmen jealous.

Martials are noble and merchants are cheap, who would not want such an opportunity to change their class, but those martial arts look down on businessmen and refuse to give it to them.

It's not that no one asked about the price in private, and they were willing to sacrifice most of their net worth to obtain the status of a samurai, but Takada Yonoo sternly refuted them.

Up and down is the order of the martial arts.

Yang Nai understood how much pressure the Lord would bear in order to support himself and grant Imai Sohisa the status of a samurai family, and he was very grateful.

But doing things is a must.

A special case is a special case, once it becomes a routine, it will be a devastating blow to the reputation of the Sipo family.

The Siba family is a noble family, and the bloodline of the family forms a halo that shines on everyone.It is absolutely impossible to sell your hope for a little profit.

Perhaps in the future, there will be people of humble birth and businessmen who will be able to achieve great things with their strength.

But offending the deep-rooted dignity of the samurai will make her pay the price, the fate of her descendants is sad, and the family fortune will not last long.
