You owe a hundred dollars, that's your problem. If you owe a hundred thousand dollars, the trouble is someone else's. If you owe millions, the borrower will try every means to help you make money, lest you suddenly go bankrupt.
The most powerful thing about Takada Haruno is that she is not only sitting in Sakai Port, dividing the cake of the Hokuriku Trade Route for all parties, but she also owes many, many, many debts to all parties.
If the Hokuriku Trade Road collapses, not only the Shiba family will suffer heavy losses, but also the shareholders who lent money to the Hokuriku Trade Road.
The shareholders are enjoying the dividends from Hokurikudo Trading Road and are also recovering the interest on the borrowed money. Some people may be willing to bear the price of disappearing dividends, but no one is willing to accept the result of going bankrupt and losing all their money.
This is the most powerful thing about Takada Haruno. She lures shareholders to keep investing money, and by raising their sunk costs, they become unwilling to give up their investment in the Hokurikudo Trade Route.
Those land bank lenders who were eager for quick success and quick profits were turned into a group of long-term value investors who were unable to run away with short-term arbitrage.
This group of trapped shareholders can only prosper and suffer losses along with Hokuriku Dorodo, shouting every day that Hokuriku Dorodo is the eternal god and will always rise.
Akechi Mitsuhide clapped his fingers and helped Matsu Nagahide to count.
"Do you know who is in each of the families I mentioned?
The samurai families of the Kyoto shogunate, the local samurai families of Settsu, the samurai families along the Hokuriku Road, the famous families you can think of, the local powerful, almost everyone has a share.
Not only do sectarian temples such as Tendai Sect, Shingon Sect, and Yixiang Sect pay dividends through Tukura, but the temple fairs along the Hokuriku Expressway can also take advantage of branch lines in logistics.
Takada Yono has been working in Sakai Port for three years. From top to bottom, from inside to outside, how many people point to the Hokuriku Road trade route for food?
As far as I know, both Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Miyoshi Yasunaga have an investment in it. I don’t know whether Shinohara Nagafusa and Nobuyasu Anzhai have a share.
But I believe in Takada Haruno's ability. The Miyoshi family's Ji warriors cannot be immune to temptation, and they must have invested a lot. If they cut off the Hokuriku Road trade route, their own interests will be harmed.
As for Her Majesty Oda, she promised me that she would negotiate the specific share of the Hokuriku Road trade route that the Oda family occupies after Tsuta-den returns to Koji.
If the Hokuriku Road trade route was destroyed, how could she talk to Tsutado-don?
What the Oda family wants is the benefits of the Hokuriku Road trade route, not enmity with the Shiba family, especially in this sensitive period when they are besieged from all sides. "
Matsunagahide was silent when he heard this. Both Oda and Miyoshi were counting on the hen that lays golden eggs on the Hokuriku Road Trading Road, and no one would kill the goose to obtain the eggs.
From this point of view, the Hokkaido trade route of the Shiba family is really rock solid, and it is impossible for the chaos in Sakai Port to affect this trade route.
Matsunaga sighed.
"The interests of the Hokuriku Road trade route are so great that even His Majesty Oda is moved by it. But I don't know how much the Oda family wants to share. Will the Shiba family decide, or will the Oda family grab it?"
Akechi Mitsuhide has already explained the Hokuriku Road trade route very thoroughly. All parties have paid too much in it, and it is difficult to sort out the entanglements of interests.
At this time, giving a large piece of benefit to the Oda family would offend many people. I don’t know who will come forward in the end, let the Shiba family offend others, or the Oda family do it themselves?
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and shook his head and said.
"Although I promised His Highness Oda that when Tsuta-dono returns to Koki, we can sit down and discuss the profit sharing of the Hokuriku Road trade route.
But I have a feeling that this matter may be put on hold for a long time. "
Matsunaga didn't understand what Akechi Mitsuhide meant. There were so many benefits in front of him, how could Oda Nobunaga not take them? unless. .
"Akechi-hime, are you saying that the Oda family will not be able to defend Sakai Port this time?"
Oda Nobunaga wanted to get a share of the Hokuriku Road trade route, and his biggest reliance was that the Oda family expelled the Miyoshi family and controlled the Sakai Port Customs Office.
But if the Oda family loses control of Sakai Port, then Oda Nobunaga will indeed have no face to bargain with Yoshihiro Shiba. After all, I don’t have any chips in my hand, and I can’t get more than three melons and two dates, so why be embarrassed?
Seeing Matsunaga's confused look, Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"What Matsunaga-hime said is right. The Miyoshi family is divided internally and will not be the opponent of the Oda family. But the Miyoshi family is not the only opponent of the Oda family.
I have heard a lot of interesting things recently, and it was Honda Masanobu who brought me the news. "
A cold light flashed in Matsunaga's eyes and he remained calm.
Honda Masanobu caused the Matsunaga family to bear the notoriety of being a slave with three surnames, and Matsunaga's reputation was completely ruined. He could only become a repetitive villain who was despised by the samurai family all over the world.
Although Mitsuhide Akechi was behind all of this, Matsunaga hated this young hero he once valued.
But at this time, she asked with a smile.
"I wonder what news Honda Masanobu brought?"
Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at Matsu Nagahide, who quickly returned to normal, and smiled.
"You also know that Honda Masanobu is a follower of the Ichikai religion."
Matsunaga's eyes narrowed and he nodded.
"good."
Back then, Honda Masanobu was favored by Matsunagahide because of her opportunity to go on a mission to Yodo Castle for Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
Akechi Mitsuhide pointed out her identity as a follower of the Ichijo sect at this time. Could it be that Ishiyama Honganji wanted to intervene in Oda Miyoshi's battle?
Akechi Mitsuhide looked back at Matsunaga's confused eyes, shook his head and said.
“I don’t know if Ishiyama Honganji will intervene in this war, but General Ashikaga was able to quickly contact all parties and set up a network to surround His Highness Oda. Ishiyama Honganji is indispensable.
If Ichigo Munejin joins the war, His Majesty Oda will not feel comfortable with the appeal of Ishiyama Honganji Temple in Settsu Kingdom.
If the Oda family really loses Sakai Port, they may not be able to get it back for a while, and Shiba Oda's agreement on the Hokuriku Road trade route will have to be put aside for the time being. "
Akechi Mitsuhide certainly hopes that Ishiyama Honganji will join the camp against Oda Nobunaga, instead of sneaking in some small connections behind the scenes like now.
This is why she sent Honda Masanobu to teach Ishiyama Honganji as a follower of the Ichijo sect. It's just that Shishan has been very restrained, and the flames of this prairie fire have not been ignited.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the steam of tea soup in front of him, took a deep breath, and his nose was filled with the fragrance of tea.
This time the Battle of Miyoshi-Oda is happening near Ishiyama. Can Master Mianru still suppress the strong dissatisfaction of Ichigo Munaka with the Oda family and let Ishiyama Honganji Temple continue to stay out of the matter?
Akechi Mitsuhide's heart was full of expectations. If Ichibuki Mun died, the Oda family's troubles would not only be in Settsu Country. The Ichibuki clan in Omi, Ise, and Kaga are all very powerful.
Matsunaga frowned. Although she was fooled by Oda Nobunaga, she really didn't want to see Oda Nobunaga fall into a disadvantage at this time.
She has offended too many people, and there are forces hostile to her all around Docheng. If the Oda family really fails to recover and is forced to withdraw from the near future, life will not be easy for the Matsunaga family.
Matsunaga sighed.
"Forefathers have worked hard to manage the situation, and it has finally been peaceful for a while in recent years. Now it is causing chaos and devastation.
In the current situation, it seems that only by asking Jinduodian to come forward can all parties cease fighting, all the people can take a breather, and peace can be achieved in the near future.
Dare I ask Akechi-hime, has it been a year since Tsuda-den went to Kanto? I wonder when he will be able to return to Japan? We, the martial arts family, are all looking forward to it and imploring Jinduodian to take action to relieve the suffering of the people. "
Matsunaga's thoughts are easy to understand. The Oda family is now besieged from all sides and is in a hurry, but the confidence of the two million stone territory is still there.
As long as they can hold their ground, no one inside or outside the country can be a rival to the Oda family. What the Oda family needs most now is to get rid of the passive situation of being beaten everywhere and putting out fires everywhere, and to take back their fists.
As long as they can slow down, gather their strength to counterattack, and hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming, the Oda family can seize the initiative.
But to complete this strategic adjustment, there must be someone acceptable to all parties to mediate, and only then can an armistice agreement be reached.
In previous melees between the parties, the role of mediator was usually played by Ashikaga Shogun. But the current general Ashikaga Yoshiaki is really unable to hold up the wall.
It would be no problem for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to write a royal letter to instigate all parties to join forces to deal with the Oda family. This was the original need of all parties, and they just used the royal letter as an excuse to join forces to overthrow the Oda family.
But for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to quell the war and ask all parties to shake hands and make peace, I'm afraid no one will look down on this notoriously poor official.
Then the only mediators who can get all parties to sit down and negotiate are the ancestral widow Shuang, the incarnation of the Samurai Giri, the holder of the Imperial White Flag of Hachiman Tainiang, the elder of the Genji family, and the Chosen One Shiba Yoshigan.
Apart from the world-respected Tsudo-don, who is qualified to deal with all the big bosses in the melee?
Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at Matsu Nagahide, shook his head helplessly and said.
"Tsudaden was entrusted by the ancestors to go to Kanto to mediate disputes.
The last time I came back was because Miyoshi went to Luo and his ancestors were killed. Tsudoden could only give up halfway and rush back from Kanto to take charge of the overall situation.
Because of this, the chaos in Kanto has returned, and Tsudo-den has to go to Kanto again to restore the collapsed situation.
At this moment, peace in Guandong is at a critical moment. It is said that the land of Guan Bazhou has been peaceful for nearly a year. If Jinduodian leaves again at this time, the land of Guan Bazhou will probably be in chaos again.
Therefore, Tsutaden is really unable to escape and cannot solve the problem for the shogunate. "
Akechi Mitsuhide certainly does not want Shiba Yoshigan to come back. It is best for her that Oda Nobunaga can form a deadly feud with several recent forces and kill them everywhere.
But she didn't know that Sibo Yiyin was also worried about her and had decided to return to Jinji after autumn and take charge of Jinji Sibo.
Matsu Nagahide heard Mitsuhide Akechi's pushback, his face darkened, and he sighed.
"The people of Guandong are so lucky, and the people of recent times are so innocent."
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.
"What Matsunaga-hime said is wrong. There are so many samurai families in the shogunate, and they have been richly paid by the shogunate for two hundred years, but when the trouble comes, they will only rely on a man from Tsutama Hall to come forward. This kind of thinking is unacceptable.
We should call on the ladies of the shogunate to share the general's worries, bridge the differences between recent parties, and exert the influence of the shogunate. "
Akechi Mitsuhide knew that the current shogunate was at a standstill and that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was immobilized by the rules set by Oda Nobunaga, but he told lies with open eyes.
Matsunaga said helplessly.
"I heard that the situation at the general's side is very bad. The salary of the Ashikama Huimen has been suspended long ago, and the supplies in the camp are barely maintained."
A long time ago, Hitoshi Yoshimasa reminded Ashikaga Yoshiaki that the money for the Ashikaga Huimen's sacrifice was the most important and must be given in full, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki was indeed powerless.
After Ashikaga Yoshiteru's death, the local land rights that the Ashikaga family had gathered back were torn apart by the war.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeeded to the throne and has been busy stabbing Yoshiba Shiba and fighting with Oda Nobunaga. As a nun who returned to secular life, she did not know the political means of obtaining money and food.
Wada Weimasa, Niki Yoshimasa and other heroes from the dragon family were still barely able to maintain the dignity of the Ashikaga family. But Oda Nobunaga's beatings made all the ministers of Ashikaga Yoshiaki feel chilled.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki could not protect his own people, so Wada Weimasa simply took refuge in Oda Nobunaga and became a second-in-command. Niki Yoshimasa still wanted to save face, so he ran to Shiba's house to seek peace and not to get involved.
Through the Tenchu incident, Akechi Mitsuhide eliminated the talented and loyal ministers in the shogunate in advance, weakening the Ashikaga family's ability to control the shogunate.
Ninagawa himself controls the political office, and Hatakeyama Takamasa serves as the leader. Both of them are Shiba faction, so it would be nice not to cause trouble for Ashikaga Yoshiaki. There is no way they can help her.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been reduced to the point where he cannot even pay the wages of the Ashikaga Hui clan, so he can only rely on the two hundred years of the Ashikaga family's remaining wealth to barely appease him.
Matsunaga pointed out the tragic situation of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, implying that he is not qualified to play the role of mediator. Someone has to step in to clean up the recent chaos.
Of course Akechi Mitsuhide knew the situation of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but she just refused to let go and said.
“The ladies of the shogunate have been cared for by Ashikaga Shogun for two hundred years, how can they care about a temporary setback.
As the saying goes, the more you compare with job and salary, the narrower your mind will be. The more you talk about principles, the higher your realm will be. Ashikaga's horse returned to the princesses. They must be sensible and grateful princess warriors, so there is no problem. "
Matsunaga knew that Mitsuhide Akechi was talking nonsense, but he could only laugh and compliment him.
"******,******. What Mingzhi Ji said is very much what I want.
It's just that there are too many lay people in the world. Those who are loyal to the shogunate and don't care about temporary gains and losses like you and me are, after all, a minority.
Therefore, most people still hope that an authoritative figure like Tsudado will come forward to stabilize the situation. Tsutaden can also use this matter to bring the shogunate's samurai family back to their hearts. "
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.
"If everyone has to trouble Tsudado-den with everything, wouldn't the whole shogunate be regarded as useless by outsiders?
What's more, the general had personally agreed to Tsudo-don's original statement about retiring from his residence and taking over the throne. Isn't it appropriate to invite Tsudo-don back now? "
Matsunaga Hide never let go when he saw Akechi Mitsuhide, and even brought up the conflict between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Shiba Yoshigan, and had no choice but to give up.
"Akechi Ji is right."
Even Matsunaga Hide couldn’t tell, which side did Mitsuhide Akechi stand on?
She turned a blind eye to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's embarrassment. She watched with cold eyes as Oda Nobunaga was beaten passively. Sibo Yiyin took this opportunity to expand her influence, and she kept pushing away.
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.
