Yiyin thought for a long time, gathered his thoughts, and then said sincerely.
"His Royal Highness Shenbo understands the righteousness and should set an example for the Yue-China martial arts family.
The system of three guardian generations in Yuezhong has been implemented for many years, and it is difficult to continue if there are scum of the Wu family like Shiina Kangyin.
I will deprive her of her duty as a guardian by command of the sword, and from now on Yuezhong will be entrusted to Your Highness. "
Yiyin kowtowed slightly, and the chief priest quickly bowed deeply in return.
Although the two of them had already agreed, there was no sword control before, so Yoshigan had to report it to the shogunate if he wanted to facilitate this matter.
China and Kyoto are thousands of miles apart. If the shogunate is wrangling, it is common for the matter to be delayed for half a year or even several years.
A few years are enough time for the Wu family to rise and fall in the world, and the world has changed dramatically, so the post of divine protection was not taken seriously.
Now that Yiyin Yujian is in hand, the order is equivalent to the general's order. He can handle the matter directly and send someone to Kyoto to inform him.
Regardless of whether there is a guardian duty or not, the divine guardian duty can suppress Shiina Yasuin.
However, after many years of fighting between the three guardians of Ezhong, the Jinbo family finally won and took sole control of Ezhong, which still refreshed the spirit of the Jinbo family.
Yiyin continued sincerely.
"This time during my trip to Kanto, I made an appointment with Echizen Tsuruga Governor and Asakura Sotiko. I also informed the Noto Hatakeyama family governor Yoshitsuna of my intention to reorganize the Hokurikudo trade route."
The Divine Protector thought for a while and said.
"Is the imperial office planning to take the sea route?"
Hokuriku Road has always been a small and unstable place. Merchants only dare to sell goods in small batches, and the benefits to the local samurai family are only a drop in the bucket.
If you want to ship large quantities of goods, you can only bypass the territory controlled by Yixiang Zong, and sea route is the only effective way.
Yiyin nodded.
Yoshigan could not allow Uesugi Teruhora to send troops to Echuchu to help Jinbo Nagasaki fight, so the establishment of the alliance would need to give way to other interests in exchange for her understanding.
He put aside the matter of Terutora Uesugi and talked about the Hokuriku Road trade route first, which indeed aroused the interest of Jinbo Nagasaki.
The foundation of the Wu family is land, because land carries population and food, and is the basis of force. But if we want long-term peace and stability, land alone is not enough.
Land is limited, output is limited, and there is less security. To appease the military families under his command, one still has to rely on other benefits, such as increased salary through business profits.
If the chief minister of the gods can feed the local martial arts family, he will be able to secure his position in Yuezhong and confront the Yixiang Zong who has won the hearts of the grassroots people.
Yoshigan also needs the Shinbo Nagasaki to rely on the interests of the Hokurikudo trade route and deeply bind the relationship between the two parties to prevent her from being persuaded to stab Echigo in the back when she becomes more powerful.
Kasugayama Castle, the residence of Teru Uesugi, is close to the border of Vietnam and China. The Vietnam and China side is not peaceful, so Teru Uesugi can't even think of stability.
Yiyin continued.
"As long as Lord Sotechi, His Highness Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna, and His Highness Teru Uesugi unite.
Echizen Tsuruga Bay, Noto Peninsula Nanao Bay, and Echigo Naoetsu will form a stable harbor road.
This road has been around since ancient times, it is very mature and profits can be realized quickly.
The Shiba family had a garrison at Sakai Port, and merchants followed it. The goods from Sakai Port would pass through Kyoto along the Yodo River, then go to Seta River and enter Lake Biwa, and land on the Kitaomi River.
Then he entered Echizen Tsuruga County, boarded the ship directly, and left the port to trade with Kanto.
The forces of the Miyoshi family in Settsu have no intention of turning against the shogunate. The Asai family of Kitaomi has made good friends with me. If everything goes well, we can start operations this summer. "
The Chief Divine Protector was shocked when he heard this. The layout of the imperial office was so big.
Everything is clearly arranged. As long as Uesugi Teruhu returns to Echigo, the trade route will be launched.
she asked.
"What can I, the Divine Protector, get from this?"
Yiyin replied.
“Nanao Bay is adjacent to Toyama Bay. Although Yuezhong does not have as good conditions for long-distance voyages as Nanao Port, there are many small trading towns along the coast.
The Noto Hatakeyama family is a branch of the Hatakeyama family and has a close relationship with the Etchu Jimbo family. You can contact Lord Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna to distribute goods from Nanao Port.
I have the final say on goods from Sakai Port, and I can give you a 30% discount on the price. "
The long post of divine protector was heart-pounding.
The Noto Hatakeyama family has a close relationship with the Hatakeyama clan. They have long been arbitrators in disputes between the three guardian generations of Ezhong and have a good relationship with the Jimbo family.
Noto Hatakeyama's retainer group grew, and the governor was marginalized. Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna had no choice but to sit in Nanao Castle and struggle to support him.
If she took the Hokuriku Maritime Route, she would surely be able to relax and regain her composure.
And if he takes the initiative to contact her, he will be attracted as foreign aid to check and balance Noto's retainers, and they will definitely not refuse distribution cooperation.
The coast of Toyama Bay in Ezhong is long and has many small ports. Not to mention other things, Toyama Castle, which is built on the water, and its castle town can also be regarded as a port town.
The cost of the sea route is low, and it is much cheaper to get the goods than the land route. The price is also reduced by 30% from the Sakai Port. The profit is enough to protect the gods for a long time and feed the close Yue-China military families and stabilize the basic market.
In the past, Hokuriku merchants mostly exported specialty products from the Northeast, with small quantities and low profits.
Nowadays, with cheap Sakai Port goods, it is difficult not to make a fortune, and Shiba Yiyin is very sincere.
The divine protector bowed.
"Thank you, Otai Suo."
Yiyin smiled and waved his hands, disapprovingly.
When exporting goods from Sakai Port, it is impossible to leave Kanto without several times the profit. That stingy Takada Yono is unwilling to release the goods until he has drained the profits.
Not to mention giving away 30% of the profit, even giving 50% of the profit would make the Spo family a lot of money. This is the power of monopoly.
The only one who can deal with so many martial arts families along the way is Shiba Yiyin, the imperial office. No one else can do this business if they want to.
But as Yoshiyin spoke, the divine protector Changji already felt something was wrong.
If this Odaisho was really just on a mission to Echigo, why would he need to win over samurai families from all over Hokuriku to create such a large-scale logistics trade route?
she asked tentatively.
"Why did Odaisho go to Echigo?"
Yiyin smiled inwardly, the drama was coming.
If you want Shenbao Changji to sincerely maintain the alliance, you must not only feed her with the benefits of the trade route, but also raise a political banner.
The Wu family values profits. In other words, as long as the benefits are sufficient, they will fall out!
He, Sibo Yiyin, was willing to spend his money to buy the position of divine protection, but maybe someone else would offer a higher price than him? Have to guard against it.
Therefore, it is necessary to pull out a tiger skin of sufficient weight so that the God of War will not dare to rebel casually and sincerely form an alliance with Uesugi Teruhora.
If it is heavy enough, the only flag that can be used is the shogunate.
Yiyin pretended to be mysterious.
"Years ago, the Hojo family destroyed the Yamauchi Uesugi family, and the Kanto governor Kenmasa Uesugi fled to Echigo alone, and was taken in by His Highness Teruhora Kamishiro."
The divine protector Changji frowned and listened patiently.
"Subsequently, she adopted Uesugi Teruhora as her adopted daughter, and that's when she went to Luo."
The chief priest was sweating a little.
"The general recognized Teru Uesugi as the leader of the Kanto administration and ordered me to follow her to Echigo to consolidate the Echigo samurai's platform.
Only in this way can we send troops to the Guandong Plain to bring order to the chaos. "
The Divine Protector took a deep breath, he had frightened himself.
Fortunately, fortunately I didn’t kill Uesugi Teruhu.
So that's the case, no wonder it was Odaisho who went to Echigo in person, no wonder the general sent Yu sword from thousands of miles away, and he almost ruined the shogunate's important affairs.
The more I thought about the post of divine protector, the more I became afraid, and I no longer had any thoughts of betraying him.
The dispute between Kanto and Kansai has existed since ancient times. Not to mention the distant side, the Ashikaga family's own division, the Kamakura Crown Prince raised a flag against the shogunate.
In order to eradicate this hidden danger, the shogunate sent people from the Ise family to the Izu Kingdom to cause rebellion, which really overthrew the Kamakura Lord, the Kanto general.
It's just that people's hearts are not enough, so the powerful Ise branch family dared to pretend to be the Hojo family's Miao name, and began to conquer the Kanto plain, and also killed two famous Kanto families, the Shangshan family.
Seeing that the Hojo family has grown, he will be a Kanto general again. The shogunate took action again, supporting Echigo Uesugi Teruhora and sending troops to the Kanto Plain to confront the Hojo family.
After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, the divine protector Changzhi was so frightened that he wondered what he had done.
In a broad sense, Hokurikudo belongs to Kanto, but the Kanto that truly confronts the shogunate refers to the narrow sense in which the Kanto shoguns govern the ten kingdoms of Kanto.
She held the position of chief divine protector and devoted herself to conquering Xinchuan County, pursuing the ambition of the divine protector family to unify Yuezhong. Who would have thought that she would be involved in the world-wide event of the Kansai-Kanto conflict.
The water here is too deep. If the Jimbo family is not powerful enough to wade through the muddy water, it will be crushed into powder accidentally.
After listening to Yiyin's words, the divine protector already knew what he should do.
She kowtowed to the ground and solemnly promised Yiyin.
“The Chief Divine Protection Officer swore to the ancestors of the Divine Protection Family that he would be loyal to the shogunate and the general.
It is clear to Odai that the alliance between Uesugi Teruhu and I is sincere and we will never be perfunctory. "
Yiyin nodded with satisfaction.
How long the alliance can last depends only on the mutual interests of both parties. If you swear to the sky, you will let it go. Once you hear it, it will be over.
But Shenbao Changzhi's attitude is sincere. Before she defeats Yuezhong Yixiangzong and develops greater ambitions, the alliance between the two parties can be maintained and can be trusted.
Morally, Yiyin deprived Shiina Yasuyin of her guardianship and gave her legal support.
During the transaction, Yiyin used the benefits of the Hokuriku Road trade route to tie her up and let her get the benefits.
Finally, he used the non-existent guise of shogunate strategy to fool her, scaring her away from making mistakes and strengthening her political determination to safeguard the alliance.
The three-pronged approach finally made this troublesome Shenbao family governor bow his head and completed his strategic intention in the direction of Vietnam and China.
Yiyin exhaled and relaxed his mind following the expression of the divine protector Changzhi, his temples were a little swollen.
Not easy.
