The order of the Wu family is actually a very twisted system.
First, emphasize personal attachment. The superiors have absolute control over the inferiors, forming an extremely harsh hierarchy of superiority and inferiority.
Secondly, it emphasizes the contractual spirit of public reward. I work for you and you give me benefits. Both the monarch and the ministers perform their duties and have their rights and obligations.
Again, the collectivism under the family name is emphasized. Although your Majesty is your Majesty, the family property is not owned by you alone, but is the common property of the entire Hime Warriors under your family name.
This distorted relationship between monarch and minister stems from the Wu family group's special understanding of ownership.
For example, a farmer buys a cow to plow the land. When the cow gets old, the farmer can ruthlessly abandon the cow without any problem.
Because although the cattle work on the land, they do not have land ownership. They are just tools bought by the farmers, and even their own ownership belongs to the farmers.
It is reasonable for farmers to take away cattle and even kill them for meat, because the ownership of the land and cattle is in the hands of the farmer.
But if there is an emperor above the farmer, and the emperor gives the land to the cattle, and makes the farmer responsible for leading the cattle to work, then the nature is different.
The cattle own the land, and the land income is a share of the cattle. The farmers are even the public servants of the cattle. They have no right to abandon the cattle, and they even have the obligation to provide for the cattle until they die.
The different fates of the cattle in the future are ultimately a matter of ownership and whether the cattle own the land.
This is also where the tangle of the Wu family system lies.
On the one hand, the Wu family system emphasizes obedience, and the superiors absolutely suppress the inferiors. On the other hand, family property belongs to both the superior and the inferior, and the inferior does have a share.
Therefore, many strange things happened that foreigners could not understand, such as lowering and uppering.
From the perspective of orderly order of superiority and inferiority, it is unjust for the inferior to restrain the superior. But from the perspective of joint ownership, if it is for the continuation of the family business, it is upright and upright.
This makes it difficult for the Wu family to maintain its moral principles and stabilize the Wu family's political power, because in this world of the Wu family, the lower-level Ji warriors really have a share.
That is to say, this weird and contradictory concept can be formed in an island country where volcanoes and tsunamis are everywhere, life is poor, and precarious.
It is neither private ownership nor public ownership. It is more like poverty co-productivism in which people stay together to stay warm and live together.
Hosokawa Fujitaka's troubles also stem from this.
On the one hand, she already has a physical relationship with Shiba Yiyin, and she hopes to conceive a child in the future and become the mother of a divine descendant. Of course, she stands wholeheartedly with the Shiba family.
But on the other hand, she is the governor of the Izumi Hosokawa family, and she has to consider the Hime Warriors under the Hosokawa family's name.
If she chooses to sacrifice the interests of the Hosokawa family for the sake of the Shiba family, then the Hime Warriors under the Hosokawa family will be dissatisfied with her.
The Hosokawa retainers can tolerate her excluding dissenters and controlling real power, but she won't be able to tolerate it if she dares to use the benefits of the Hosokawa family to subsidize outsiders.
Hosokawa Fujitaka thought for a while and sighed.
"Guangxiu, it's not that I don't want to do this, it's that I can't.
I finally used Yu Wuhu to fight together and suppressed the opposition in my family. If I make the wrong choice regarding the reward, I'm afraid the matter of succeeding to the position of family governor will cause trouble again. "
War is money! money! money!
It takes money to start a war, it takes money to continue a war, and it takes money to stop a war.
For the Wu family, land is money in the real sense, and even copper coins and food are not as valuable as the land. What's more, the Sibo family may have given Sibo food stamps, which are hard-to-explain pieces of paper.
The Hosokawa family has already shed blood for the Shiba family, so Shiba Yiyin should give enough rewards to reward his allies. This is in line with the Wu family's concept of serving the public with rewards.
Now Akechi Mitsuhide secretly wants Hosokawa Fujitaka to give up, and Hosokawa Fujitaka is really in a dilemma.
Akechi Mitsuhide sighed.
“After all, the Shiba Hosokawa family is not a family.
However, Fujitaka, if the Hosokawa family intends to become a descendant of the gods and follow Tsuta-den to the altar, they must abandon the petty gains in front of them.
Only when the Hosokawa family truly becomes a part of the Shiba family can they achieve long-term peace and stability. "
Akechi Mitsuhide was not unaware of the difficulty of this matter, but she still insisted on hoping that Hosokawa Fujitaka could take the initiative to reduce the reward.
Because the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest is to turn other people's Jishi warriors into the foundation of the Shiba family, not to use the benefits of the Shiba family to satisfy other people's appetites.
If every Hime warrior who was slept with and gave birth to a child by Shiba Yiyin must take into account the interests of his own Hime warrior order, then where would he start to occupy the magpie's nest?
Only when the Hime Warriors abandon the interests of their own Hime Warriors for the sake of their own children and men, and integrate their own family into the Shiba family, can the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest be considered successful.
To put it simply, when Hosokawa Fujitaka and the Hosokawa retainers pride themselves on being divine descendants and are willing to consider the overall interests of the Shiba divine descendants, then the Shiba family can truly devour the Hosokawa family.
This is what Mitsuhide Akechi strives for.
Yoshigan Shiba has sold his dignity and body, and his god of rice for the future of the Shiba family, so Mitsuhide Akechi must ensure that Yoshigan Shiba does not lose money in this life.
Whether it is Hosokawa Fujitaka, Maeda Benefit, or Maeda Toshiie, Yamanaka Yukimori, Shima Katsuruo and other samurai who admire you.
If you want to have sex with me, you can. However, transactions must be of equal value. From now on, your heirs and your family property will be integrated with the Sibo family.
Akechi Mitsuhide posed a problem to Hosokawa Fujitaka, but this was not directed at her alone, but for all Hime samurai who wanted to be pregnant with divine descendants.
This was originally Akechi Mitsuhide's plan, step by step forcing everyone to give up their own small family businesses and integrate into the Shiba family's large divine business.
But one thing exceeded Mitsuhide Akechi's expectations, and that was Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, two powerful feudal lords of Kanto, who succeeded first.
Akechi Mitsuhide never thought that the big guys in Kanto were doing things so unethically.
One was forced, the other was soft, and she slept with Sibo Yiyin, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter.
Now, Yoshigan Shiba's eldest daughter and second daughter have been born, and they are all the descendants of the Kanto daimyo beyond the reach of Akechi Mitsuhide.
This puts Mitsuhide Akechi in a very difficult position. If the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest is not done well, another family will annex the Shiba family, losing her husband and losing her troops.
Therefore, Akechi Mitsuhide very much hopes that Hosokawa Fujitaka can support his idea, and all powerful samurai who love Yoshigin and intend to have children with Yoshigan can support his idea.
Everyone works together, grows together, and integrates into the Sibo family together. Only by laying a solid foundation for the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest can we cope with certain unknown risks.
We cannot allow the Takeda-Uesugi family to continue to maintain their advantage of having children, and we cannot allow Oda Nobunaga to catch up from behind!
