During an interview, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was surprised and Uesugi Terutora was surprised, but only Shiba Yoshigan had a splitting headache.
I always feel that the whole thing is out of my control and sliding in an unpredictable direction.
It was obviously a political transaction with mutual interests, but Ashikaga Yoshiteru showed an irrational attitude.
Did they agree that the Wu family would value profits and give way to profits? This foolish king is beguiled by beauty!
Teru Uesugi also became strange, which made him suspect that this was a problem caused by too high a charm value.
Being too handsome is a big problem.
After dismissing the weird-looking Teruhu Uesugi, he thought about going to the Mibuchi Mansion.
Mibuchi Haru has a close relationship with him, so it would be unreasonable not to visit him when he comes to Beijing.
Moreover, she is a shogunate and an important figure in Hosokawa Mibuchi's family. Her thoughts can be heard on some matters inside and outside the shogunate.
Mibuchi Haru has a good nature and is a good person, but he is a bit pedantic and soft-hearted. He cannot react well when things happen, so he is called an honest person, and he often suffers some disadvantages.
However, the Sanbuchi family has been together in the shogunate for many years and has its own unique insights into things. Otherwise, you will not be an honest person, but a dead person.
What a fool, how could he survive in this deep water shogunate.
Arriving at the Sanyuan Mansion to meet the family governor, Sanyuan Qing was overjoyed and received Yiyin in the inner room.
The two families have been friends for generations, and they already had a good relationship with each other. Now that their interests intersect, they become even closer.
After pulling Yoshiyin and talking about heart-warming words for a while, Sanbuchi Haru asked about today's events.
"I brought the Nagao family governor to see the general today. Is everything okay? You didn't have any dispute with the general, right?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka came yesterday and exchanged some ideas.
The three families are now cooperating with each other, and Mibuchi Haru is quite familiar with the recent affairs of the Shiba family.
What she was most afraid of was that Yiyin would fall into his old habit and bump into the general again.
Yiyin was stunned for a moment, wondering if the general's suppression of him was considered a dispute.
Seeing him in a daze, Sanbuchi Qing couldn't help but sigh.
"What good can I say about you? You kid can't be more submissive. He is a general, the lord of the world.
Although the Shiba family is a relative of Ashikaga, and you have contributed a lot, there is still a matter of dignity.
It's nothing to make you blush every time you see Mr. Gongfang. "
Yiyin said.
"I just have some conflicts with my attitude towards Kanto, so I expressed my thoughts.
The Ashikaga family is currently weak in strength, and Mr. Kokata is still obsessed with checks and balances, manipulating powerful samurai families, which may lead to endless disasters. "
Sanbuchi Haru replied.
“Then what do you want the general to do?
The strength of the Ashikaga family has been declining from generation to generation, and Mr. Kokata is also powerless.
After being criticized by you, the shogunate will be troubled again. "
Yiyin smiled awkwardly.
"No, I'm just complaining."
Sanbuchi Haru shook his head and said solemnly.
"Master Gongfang has a strong character and a strong sense of self-esteem.
What you said is correct. Naturally, she can't swallow this breath and wants to stand up to show you.
After all she is to you. . "
Sanbuchi Haru glanced at Yiyin and shook his head helplessly.
Which woman can bear to be looked down upon by the man she likes, let alone if she is a strong-willed man.
Yiyin said even more embarrassed.
"Will it be troublesome?"
Mibuchi Haru replied.
"I don't know, the ministers are also in chaos right now.
The Ninagawa family took advantage of the opportunity to make frequent small moves in the political office.
After being reprimanded by Lord Kōkata, the Ise family also felt depressed and could not see any intention of confrontation for the time being.
But after all, her family has generations of nobles, so they are not easily defeated, and they have strong support from Guandong behind them. "
Yiyin couldn’t understand.
"If the general wants to rise up, will he start from the political office?"
Mibuchi Haru sighed.
"Not only the government office, but also the ministers and ministers can't escape.
The shogunate is not strong, but it cannot be said to be weak. The mountain city's national stone is 220,000 stones high, and there are also the fiefdoms of ministers in the surrounding countries, with a total of no less than 350,000 stones.
Kyoto is also the commercial center of the world. The business tax alone is met with mercy, and many people even invest in it themselves.
Coupled with the offerings from samurai families from various places, the annual donation can maintain an Ashikaga warrior of five hundred warriors.
That was the Ji Samurai Regiment, and the salary, armaments, and food consumed every year were not a small amount.
A rough calculation shows that the mobilization power of the shogunate should be six to seven hundred thousand koku.
In addition to the Hosokawa family, the Shiba family, my Mibuchi family, and the 40,000 to 50,000 direct leaders of the Hatakeyama family, the local powerful faction also has a territory of nearly 500,000 koku. "
Mibuchiharu counted on his fingers, and Yiyin was frightened.
He has been raving that the Ashikaga family is in ruins, but just looking at the figures on the books, the mobilization force of the Ashikaga General's command is no less than 1.1 million koku.
Something is wrong, this is obviously very good!
Yiyin said doubtfully.
"The shogunate is not weak, but it has been beaten to pieces by the Miyoshi family. It needs Omi reinforcements to support it."
Mibuchi Haru rolled her eyes at him and was quite dissatisfied with the sentence, and snorted.
"That's because the ministers and the general are not aligned.
Although the shogunate was an Ashikaga retainer, he had flourished in and around the mountain castle for more than a hundred years.
The Ashikaga family had many wars, and the previous shoguns were even driven out of Kyoto for several years, so they could not be controlled.
Now the ministers control the land and grab a lot of commercial interests.
The Ashikaga family only had 500 horse warriors, so they could barely feed the Hime Warriors.
When sending troops to fight, we still need the support of ministers and logistics. How can we not be looked down upon?
If it weren't for the fact that the banner of the shogunate was related to the fundamental interests of the ministers, they would have ignored the general and lived their own lives. "
Yiyin nodded.
“So when Sanhao invades, the ministers don’t want to waste their own strength at all.
At worst, the interests of the general's family would be sacrificed and the Mihaoshi family would be brought in, and they would still live their lives as usual. "
Member Mibuchi Haru remained silent and nodded silently.
Her family was originally from the line of ministers, but because of the relationship with the Hosokawa family, there were some inexplicable implications.
Now that Yiyin has given the territory to Kitakawachi, the Sanyuan family is gradually regarded as a powerful local faction by the ministers.
Among the ministers, they are no longer as comfortable as before.
The powerful local factions are all Ashikaga relatives, who use their family lineage to suppress the local area, and are far more concerned about maintaining the guardian system headed by the Ashikaga family than the shogunate.
It can also be seen from this recent battle that the Izumi-Hosokawa family fought to the death, but the ministers did not work hard. Compared with the two, the gap is too big.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru saw it in his eyes, could he really be indifferent?
I'm afraid I have some ideas.
Now that Yiyin has stimulated him, there will be chaos in the shogunate for a while.
Mibuchi Haru has the dual identity of a powerful local faction and a minister, and he can figure out the general's thoughts very accurately.
Her words made Yiyin worried.
"If the general wants to rectify the ministers, will it be like the local military family rectifying the retainers, causing the subordinates to suppress the superiors?"
Mibuchi Haru replied.
"impossible.
The general is not a local guardian, and the shogunate is not an ordinary retainer group. The banner of the shogunate connects the two parties too closely.
Without the general, there would be no center of the shogunate and no position of Kyoto as the center of the world.
The family status of the shogunate comes from the shogunate, and the business interests come from Kyoto, the center of the world, so they will never overturn the table. "
The ministers are like rattan, and the shogunate is like a big tree. If the shogunate falls, the rattan will fall into the mud.
If one loses, both will suffer.
