As the old saying goes, if you show courtesy for nothing, you will either commit adultery or steal.
How to blend smoothly into a group and be appreciated instead of being wary and suspicious is very important.
Dou Mien, rise Miqiu. In the end, I still haven’t grasped the scale well.
The height of the Izumi Kingdom Stone is only 140,000 koku, but the Izumi-Hosokawa family has a high status in the shogunate.
What is even more surprising is that the Hosokawa clan in Awa, Shikoku, was still fighting against the shogun a few years ago for the real power of the shogunate.
The Hosokawa clan fell into decline, but the Izumi-Hosokawa clan was still able to thrive in the shogunate. This kind of ability is really powerful.
Izumi Hosokawa's family is outside the home and is a powerful local faction. The second legitimate daughter entered the Sanyuan family as an adopted daughter and inherited the family business as a minister.
In front of the shogun, the local powerful factions were close followers of the Ashikaga family.
Among the ministers, it was the Sanyuan family who was responsible for mediating conflicts, and was also very popular because they did not show off their mountains and rivers.
Look at Hatakeyama Takamasa acting like a bear, and then look at Hosokawa Motonsune's ease and ease. The difference in life is so big.
The Spo family's revival was too fast and its foundation was unstable. He wanted to form an alliance with Hosokawa Mibuchi's alliance and gain a foothold in the shogunate.
They must let their guard down, truly recognize the Si Bo family, and form an interest group that can advance and retreat together.
If he was just a fair-weather friend, Shiba Yiyin wouldn't need to spend so much effort to make Haru Mibuchi happy.
Hosokawa and her daughter are too shrewd, but Mibuchi and her daughter are easier to talk to.
As long as the entry point for seeking help is opened, the subsequent combination of interests will be natural and unobtrusive.
Only then can the two shrewd people of the Hosokawa family hold their noses and accept the Shiba family into the alliance and bind the alliance between the two parties.
And Haru Mibuchi, an honest person, is the glue between the vixens of Hosokawa and Shiba.
Without the righteous Mibuchi Haru, even if the two sides cooperate with each other, they will not be too close.
Just because you are too smart, you will have no friends.
Yiyin's help can only be effective after member Mibuchi Haru asks for help in person.
Because Mibuchi Haru took the initiative and Shiba Yiyin passively accepted it, a debt of gratitude arose.
And debts of gratitude are the most difficult to repay.
Given Mibuchi Haru's character, this debt of gratitude is enough for her to repay for a lifetime.
It's so troublesome just because the trust between the Wu family is too weak. In troubled times, it is extremely difficult to find a reliable ally.
What Sibo Yiyin needs is a reliable ally, even if he pays some first, there is no problem.
The most fearful thing is to meet the Wu family who eats clean food and wipes his mouth, which makes people want to cry without tears.
Therefore, Haru Mibuchi’s debt of gratitude is very important.
Hosokawa Motonsune is her sister, and Hosokawa Fujitaka is her daughter, and they have a close relationship.
She is also the governor of the Mibuchi family and one of the heads of the Hosokawa Mibuchi alliance. No decision can be made without her.
Only Mibuchi Haru's guarantee is of sufficient weight, allowing Yiyin to pay with peace of mind without fear of being dumped by the other party after using up.
At this time, Mibuchiharu was in tears and could no longer care about his dignity.
Izumi Hosokawa's family is in danger. She is frightened day and night, but there is nothing she can do.
Now Sibo Yiyin comes to the door, and he is willing to be his nephew. She could no longer hold back her emotions and begged the Sibo family for help.
Yiyin helped her sit up and comforted her.
"Don't worry, aunt, I am also friends with Hosokawa Fujitakahime, and I will never see anything happen to her.
I have asked Suzuki Shigehide to take the Zaiga party back to Kii and put pressure on the Negra people to force them to withdraw.
Kishiwada Castle only had to face Anzai Fuyayasu's army, and the pressure dropped sharply. "
Mibuchi Haru is also a member of the samurai family. He understands military affairs and knows where the military force surrounding his sister's daughter came from.
Hearing what Yiyin said was logical and logical, I felt a little relieved, but still couldn't help but feel sad.
"The shogunate army and the Miyoshi family are evenly matched. Even if the Kawachi side does not collapse, the Izumi-Hosokawa family will not be able to survive."
The Miyoshi family could not invade Yamashiro Country, but they captured the entire territory of Izumi except Kishiwada Castle.
If the battle ends here, the Hosokawa family will definitely not be able to take back the Izumi Kingdom. The Samurai family does not have the habit of spitting out what they swallow.
Even if the Miyoshi family retreats, it will only be out of Hanoi, and Izumi Country will still belong to her family.
Yiyin sneered.
"Not necessarily. Does my aunt know that Shihe Yicun was killed by me?"
"I've heard that, it's amazing. Shihe Yicun is the most powerful general of the Sanhao family."
Yiyin smiled and shook his head.
“I don’t say this to boast.
Has your aunt ever thought that the Sanuki army led by Tokawa Issun came across the sea and had nowhere to escape. Where are the defeated Hime warriors now? "
Sanbuchi Qingyu was stunned, she really hadn't thought about it.
Yamato was too far away from her. These days, she was just worried about the logistics of the shogunate army and worried about her sister and daughter. She never thought about anything else.
Yiyin laughed.
"All the Sanuki Princess warriors became my prisoners and were imprisoned in Kofukuji Temple.
Sanuki Country is the fundamental place of the Miyoshi family.
Do you think she would be willing to trade Izumi Kingdom for these Sanuki warriors? Still watching the civil strife in Sanuki. "
Sanbuchi Haru said excitedly.
"Are you willing to exchange the Sanuki prisoners of war with Miyoshi Chokei for the territory of the Izumi-Hosokawa family?"
Yiyin looked at Mibuchi Haru and said sincerely.
"When I came to the capital with nothing, it was you who spoke for me in front of the general, and it was you who helped me get the Ashikaga White Flag.
I, Sibo Yiyin, am today because of your kindness.
I will not only help you keep the Izumi-Hosokawa family, but also help the Mibuchi family rise to power.
Aren't you worried about Ise Sadato's posthumous settlement?
Sister Fujiying. "
Mibuchi Fujihide, who was stunned when he heard this and felt incredible, was slow for a moment before replying quickly.
"Yes, what are your orders?"
She is not her mother, Mibuchi Haru, and is cautious. Although he is not a genius, he still knows how to advance and retreat, and speaks appropriately.
Yiyin said.
"Sister Shi, you're welcome.
This battle has devastated all life in Beihani. I think Sister Fujiying is a decent person and extremely talented.
After the war, I would like to recommend you to be the guardian of North Hanoi and take over the throne of North Hanoi.
Are you willing? "
Mibuchi Fujihide was so dizzy by the big pie falling from the sky that he forgot to speak for a moment.
Sanbuchi Qingyu was shocked and asked.
"Yi Yin, don't make fun of Fujiying. She is an honest child and cannot bear to joke."
Yiyin said solemnly.
"Don't worry, aunt, everything Yiyin said is true.
When the Sibo family fell, you were kind to me.
Now that the Shiba family has risen again, the Sanyuan family must also prosper.
This is my repayment of kindness from Sibo Yiyin. "
Mibuchi Haru rubbed her hands, feeling that her child was too honest and unsuitable for such an important position as the Guardian of Kitakawachi.
But I couldn't say no to him.
That’s Bac Hanoi! At least it is a territory of more than 100,000 shi, close to Kyoto, and has a high position of power.
Once Mibuchi Fujihide becomes a famous name here, the Mibuchi family will no longer be afraid of any constraints from ministers.
She hesitated again and again, then gritted her teeth and said.
"Then I'll accept it shamelessly."
Yiyin smiled.
"My aunt is polite, so I should accept it."
As long as Mibuchi Haru accepts the two great gifts from Izumi and Kitakogenchi, even if Hosokawa Motonatsu escapes from trouble in the future, he will not be able to rely on his debt.
The more substantial the gift, the more it must be repaid with something of equal value.
What's more, Yiyin still provided help in times of need to save the Hosokawa Mibuchi family from disaster. I'm afraid that the two families will be unable to repay.
In this way, we can only take the Shiba family to play together, and the three families join forces to make ends meet in the shogunate.
Although Shiba Yiyin used some thoughtfulness, he still gave real benefits to Mibuchi Haru, which was worthy of this good old man's original help.
He looked back at Mitsuhide Akechi and saw that she was stunned. He didn't know what she was thinking. It couldn't be a good thing anyway.
This girl's methods are too cruel and she likes to hide her secrets. Sooner or later, you have to peel it off and take it, so that you can work peacefully.
