Ashikaga Yoshiki smiled bitterly.
Her father is wise, but he is not on the front line, and his feelings are not as profound as hers.
What Ootai is worried about is who is stronger and who is weaker and who is the leader between the Ashikaga family and the Shiba family in the future. He is unwilling to accept Yoshigan Shiba as a member.
But Ashikaga Yoshiki knows that the Ashikaga family can no longer bear it now, and there is no future.
If there is no foreign aid, let alone how the family business will be in the future, whether there is a family business itself is a problem.
In the Ashikaga Shogunate, the first and second generations of shoguns were weak. It was the third generation shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who really established the family business.
But after her, she quickly declined and it was difficult to control the martial arts family in the world.
After the Eighth Generation Shogun Rebellion, it declined even more. In the hands of the 13th generation general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the Ashikaga family had become nothing more than empty frames.
The society of the samurai family was in constant war, and the practice of the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu era was still to pull one faction to fight another, which could not be called peace in the world.
Because Japan is barren and cannot be at peace.
There are sixty-six countries in the world, with a stone height of 20 million stones and a population of 10 million.
To feed an adult woman, she needs two and a half kilograms of grain per year.
The average life span at this time was more than 20 years. People got married and reproduced in their teens. After about ten years of marriage, they would have ten children.
Growing up, four or five children would die in infancy for various reasons, and five or six children would grow up.
In ten years, a couple can have three times as many children. When the children grow up, they continue to have children, and by twenty years the number is nine times.
If the world is at peace for twenty years, how can this poor land feed a population of 60 million or 180 million?
The shortage of food is not something everyone is equal to, but it is not finished until there is enough food.
Farming before industrialization had no improved seeds, no chemical fertilizers, no scientific water conservancy projects, and no mechanical assistance.
Depend on the sky, a simple word, but there are corpses everywhere behind.
The martial arts society had to fight wars, and everyone was half-starved. They had to scrape together 10% of the military rations every year, and they still had to insist on fighting.
If you win, you will get more land to cultivate and feed your people.
If you lose, a lot of lives will be consumed and there will be fewer mouths to eat.
The Ashikaga Shogunate sat on the crater and watched the samurai rise, grow, decline, and die. Now it was finally their turn.
The family has managed to maintain its fortune for a hundred years, and now it is almost over.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru knew that his father was worried about the future, but if he could not win the Shiba family, the Ashikaga family would have no future.
Like this time, without Spo Yiyin's hard work.
Miyoshi Changqing had already taken over the central position of the shogunate under the ambiguous performance of the shogunate, became a general in charge, and became a general in name only.
And she, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and her Ashikaga family, can only be trapped in the imperial palace and live in fear all day long, living in the thought of the winner.
Ashikaga Yoshiki told his father all his thoughts one by one, and Ootaisho shook his head repeatedly.
He knew that it was not easy for his daughter. He really couldn't see clearly behind him what kind of storm the general was going through.
Wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she murmured.
"My child has suffered, my child has suffered."
Ashikaga Yoshiki sighed and said.
"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm just afraid that my family's fortune will be ruined and I won't be able to see my ancestors.
In the past, the threat came from the third-in-command leader, and the Yamano family, the strongest among the four, was once powerful enough to challenge my family.
But after all, they are relatives of the Ashikaga family, a challenge and a help.
Only now do I see clearly that the ministers are completely unreliable, and they still have to rely on their own family.
The Ashikaga family killed the three leaders and the Yamano family. When they faced foreign enemies, they couldn't find a powerful relative.
If it hadn't been for Yoshigoshi Shiba to turn the tide, the Izumi-Hosokawa family and the Kawachi Hatakeyama family would have been doomed this time.
The Ashikaga family would be left alone, without any relatives to rely on.
Father, for the sake of the Ashikaga family, we need to change.
The three leaders should not be our enemies, they are our blood relatives and our most reliable helpers. "
Everything Ashikaga Yoshiteru said came from his heart.
The previous struggles were internal fights within the guardianship system, and each family had a bottom line.
But the challenge from the Awa Hosokawa clan completely wiped out the last bit of energy from the Ashikaga clan.
The Awa Hosokawa family was destroyed by the Miyoshi family. From now on, the shogunate will face challenges outside the guardianship system, and foreign samurai families are even more ferocious.
In this recent battle, the shogunate and ministers were on both sides of the fence. The ones who really shed blood for the Ashikaga family were the relatives of the powerful local sect.
The Izumi Hosokawa family, the Kawachi Hatakeyama family, and Shiba Yoshigan, the surviving son of the Shiba clan.
When the shogunate was stable, relatives fought for power. When the shogunate declines, the most reliable ones will still be these members of the family.
After all, the shogunate is a retainer. As long as the shogunate's airs are still there, anyone can be their master, as long as their interests are not harmed.
But the Third Leader is closely related to the Ashikaga family, and they are both the highest-ranking families in the guardianship system.
Once the prestige of the Ashikaga Shoguns ceases, their bloodline blessings will also disappear, and both will suffer.
When it comes to your own interests, of course you must protect them with all your strength.
When fighting for power, the general wished that the three-in-charge clan would be finished.
But after the decline of the shogunate, he remembered the good things of these three families.
Of course, if these three families become powerful again, the Ashikaga family will still want them to die.
This is life. Davarich living in memories is the most beautiful. No one wants it to be resurrected.
Odaisho was convinced by his daughter's words.
If the Ashikaga family was at the end of its rope, joining forces with Shiba would no longer be so difficult to accept.
No matter who is strong or weak, in the end, the wealth does not flow to outsiders, it is all of one’s own blood.
But where checks and balances are needed, they still need to be set up.
he said.
"Since it is the general's idea, I should support you.
However, I have to remind you that Sibo Yiyin is not simple.
In this negotiation, he won over the Hosokawa Mibuchi family and formed an alliance with them.
Having made deals with the Ninagawa family and suppressed the Ise family, the shogunate no longer dared to be his enemy.
For the Miyoshi family, he obtained the right to garrison in Sakai Port and had the opportunity to join the nearby business district.
Can you really control such a deep-minded man?
General, you have to think clearly. "
Ashikaga Yoshiki was dripping with cold sweat after being reminded by his father.
She didn't even realize that there was such a profound meaning behind Shiba Yiyin's deeds of serving the public good.
Could it be that she was really deceived by male lust?
With her many years of experience in the shogunate, there was no need for her father to remind her about this issue.
It was also because the Odaisuo realized something was wrong with her that she opposed the marriage.
Since ancient times, it is common for those in power to indulge in male lust and abandon important affairs of the country. He is also worried that his daughter will fall into trouble in this matter.
Ashikaga Yoshiki was silent for a while and then said.
"My daughter has thought clearly."
Odaisho shook his head, women are like this.
What he talks about is Qianqiu's righteousness, but what he thinks about in his heart is not that skin.
Speaking of which, I don’t blame my daughter for being obsessed with it.
Shiba Yiyin's appearance, figure, and temperament are indeed an unparalleled handsome man. Even as a woman, I can't help but feel attracted to him.
What a crime.
Unable to bear it, my daughter was moved, and she tried so many reasons to convince herself.
Ootaisho sighed, a father's love is as great as a mountain, so naturally he wants to help his children's dreams come true.
Please put that Yinjun into the urn.
