Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeo quickly reached a consensus and sided with Akechi Mitsuhide just through a letter.
Behind the seeming absurdity, it goes straight to the core issue of governance: Who does the political power belong to?
How did the Zhu Ming Dynasty collapse? From the Little Ice Age? Caused by internal and external troubles?
Zhu Ming's death began in Jiajing, but in Wanli, the entire empire was already in confusion.
The emperor doesn't feel that he is the master of the country. If he goes out, picks up a girl or recognizes his father, he will be sprayed to death by hundreds of officials. How can there be such a useless master in the world?
The clan did not feel that they were responsible for the country. They were treated like pigs by the imperial court and treated as thieves by the officials. They could not even think about checking their theoretical fiefdom. They could only hang on to their dead wages and starve.
The civil servants also think that this bullshit country is doing my bullshit. The emperor hates you and scolds you every day, and even sends the Jinyi Weidong Factory to whip you. This job is impossible to do. Just hang out for a day, and earn a vote for a vote.
The frontier army felt that it was impossible to survive this day. They had to run the horses without giving them grass. They ate the soil and drank the wind. They guarded the gates and courtyards of the imperial court. They were not rewarded for their merits and beheaded for their faults.** *ah!
The entire ruling class of Zhu Ming, including the emperor, clan, and civil and military officials, all felt that this country was not theirs and had nothing to do with them.
Can such a country not collapse?
The most important thing about a political power is that those in power have the awareness to be the masters of the country, recognize that the political power belongs to them, and have the subjective initiative to maintain the political power.
If the master is no longer the master, no matter how gorgeous the slogan is, he will have to face the embarrassment of disintegration.
The core point of Mitsuhide Akechi's letter is to safeguard Yoshigami Shiba's identity as a god, which is equivalent to safeguarding the transcendent status of his descendants.
For the Ji warriors who love Shiba Yiyin, sleeping with the king, giving birth to children, and obtaining the status of divine descendants are their most realistic goals at this stage.
On the basis of this consensus, all participants are obliged to uphold the name of the God.
As a result, the consciousness of the gods that sprouted was about to give birth to the core ruling class of the new regime of the Wu family, the Sibo Goddess group.
This is why Shima Katsuo agrees with Akechi Mitsuhide and Kuai Ma rushes to convince Yamanaka Yukimori.
As the core of the Shiba Warrior Group, the Goddess must be drafted as soon as possible, and the Goddess family must remain united.
Only when everyone is willing to unite and tacitly safeguard the sanctity of Sibo Yiyin can the legitimate rights and interests of each family of God descendants be safeguarded.
In particular, the Takeda-Uesugi family has succeeded and has the daughter of Shiba Yoshigan, and the important officials in the family who love Shiba Yoshigan are even more nervous.
At this moment, defeating the Oda family, obtaining more rewards, and expanding one's own power are no longer important.
The most important thing now is to put you on the altar, and then everyone will work together to allocate days and work together to get pregnant as soon as possible.
All great things in the world must be done with love.
If you don't have the ability and can't conceive, then to protect the common interests of the gods is to make wedding clothes for others.

As Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsu took action fiercely, the Kwantung Allied Forces began to turn internally.
The two of them, who control the standing committee of the Kanto Palace, have enough bargaining chips to conduct transactions with various families in Kanto.
….
After taking care of all the Kanto families, Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo first wrote to Shiba Yiyin.
He sincerely apologized and voluntarily gave up all post-war rewards on the grounds that he could not conquer the Echizen Kingdom and could only watch the king fight alone at Lake Yuwu.
Then, the heads of each family in the Kwantung Allied Forces wrote letters respectively, also pleading guilty. They all said that they had no merit and did not dare to claim an inch of land.
Most of the people in charge of the military in the Kanto families were not the ones in charge of their families. They did not have the courage to give up the rewards and were willing to give up the land rewards. This was already the best result after the game and transaction between the two parties.
The Kwantung Allied Forces sang their praises together and publicized the power of Sibo Yiyin in Yuwu Lake. Everyone used the word "sage" in their petitions.
There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that there is a great sage in the West. He is confident without saying anything, and is not in chaos without governance. He is so towering that he is alone among the three realms.
Outside, he is called Buddha.
The Kwantung Allied Forces unanimously called for a saint, which was equivalent to acknowledging the identity of Shiba Yiyin as an inhuman true god.
At this time, the pressure was on the recent coalition forces.
Akechi Mitsuhide was negotiating with the Oda family in Nagahama Castle. While Maeda's interests were still hesitant, Hosokawa Fujitaka had decisively jumped out and made a clear statement on behalf of the Hosokawa family, rejecting post-war rewards.
Hosokawa Fujitaka’s reasons are also very good.
In recent days, everyone in the coalition forces has seen Sibo Yiyin calling the shots in Yuwu Lake. Everyone knows clearly whether this battle was won by humans or by divine power.
The Hosokawa family did not dare to covet the merits of heaven, let alone disrespect the saints, and actively refused all rewards in order to respect the gods.
When Hosokawa Fujitaka jumped, Maeda's interests immediately felt a sense of crisis.
Maeda is not a fool. The Hosokawa family is famous for taking bribes. How many benefits have they obtained from the Shiba family over the years? When have they ever been embarrassed?
In this battle, the number of troops sent by the Hosokawa family was second only to the Shiba family, and their contribution was not small. Hosokawa Fujitaka wiped his face and gave up all the rewards. Is there any problem behind this? That’s weird!
In the distance, Yukimori Yamanaka and Takeo Shimakatsu instigated the Kwantung Allied Forces to submit a petition. Fujitaka Hosokawa, who was nearby, decisively jumped out to support. Maeda's interests were already fixed on Akechi Mitsuhide of Nagahama Castle.
Although Akechi Mitsuhide is not here, this matter is definitely related to that sinister fox.
But even if she knew that Mitsuhide Akechi was behind it, Maeda had no choice but to react immediately and support him without hesitation.
If she had hesitated for a moment longer, Owari Shiba's letter from Maeda Toshiie would probably have arrived.
Elevating Shiba Yiyin to the altar is intended to become the common interest of the Hime Warriors of the God-descendant family.
Even if Akechi Mitsuhide personally discusses with Maeda Benefits, Maeda Benefits will agree, but maybe he will give Akechi Mitsuhide some color.
At this moment, Akechi Mitsuhide had completely left himself alone, and the pressure was all on Maeda Yoshida, the recent general, making Maeda Yoshida feel aggrieved and helpless, and he did not dare to delay.
Following Maeda's interest, he took the initiative to meet with Yoshihiro Shiba and begged the king to exempt him from the reward. The trend of rejecting rewards and worshiping gods has finally become a general trend.
———
Yanjin City, residence.
Yiyin did not expect that before he started worrying about the reward after the war, things had already fermented and developed to the current state.
….
In front of him were Hatakeyama Takamasa and Ninagawa Makoto, who came to meet him. They represented the shogunate samurai family participating in the war.
The samurai family of the shogunate had always only taken advantage and not suffered losses. Now they were being squeezed out by the interests of Hosokawa Fujitaka and Maeda, and were forced to give up the post-war rewards. Naturally, they were unwilling to do so.
Hatakeyama Takamasa was the leader of the shogunate, and Ninagawa himself was the acting official of the government office. They represented the interests of the local faction and the shogunate respectively and came to Yoshigan to intercede.
In the face of the general situation, they did not dare to be fools who used their arms as a cart. They chatted for a long time, all of which were nonsense.
Yiyin felt tired and had to take the initiative to clarify, he said.
"I understand what you are thinking. Rewards from the public are the cornerstone of the Wu family and should not be tampered with.
Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu were fooling around, and Hosokawa Fujitaka and Maeda were also fooling around. They jumped out one by one to kidnap the girls with morality. It was too much! "
Ninagawa himself bowed and said.
"Saint, Maeda Hosokawa, the two masters fear your divine power and willingly give up your rewards. How can you say that they are wrong?
If it were just for me, I should worship the saints, follow them, and give up all rewards.
However, the Ninagawa family is sending troops this time to recruit loyal and righteous people in the name of you, the saint.
Now that the war has stopped, the soldiers in the army have suffered a lot of damage. If there is no reward and comfort, the righteous soldiers will be heartbroken. "
Ninagawa himself did not dare to speak ill of Hosokawa Maeda and the others. Who knows how this trend was suddenly set off? The water behind it was too deep.
The Ninagawa family has been able to survive from the third generation of shoguns to today's family business, because they strictly guard the
The word caution.
Ninagawa himself was unwilling to give up the reward, but the name of the saint was shouted loudly.
Yoshigan Shiba wanted to follow Shintoism and become a living god. The Ninagawa family immediately kowtowed and called him a saint. He would never lag behind others. As long as the reward was large, he could bark like a dog.
After all, Hatakeyama Takamasa is not as flexible and flexible as Ninagawa's own old fox, and his face is still a little tangled at the moment.
She was a proud and arrogant prodigal girl back then. Yamanaka Yukimori was almost hunted by her on the street and snatched home.
At this moment, someone was pressing his head and calling him a saint. These two words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out.
When Yoshigan's eyes turned from Ninagawa's side, Hatakeyama Takamasa trembled all over and suddenly kowtowed to the ground.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the foreign minister is in the same predicament as Ninagawa-sama, so I beg the Holy One to show mercy."
A person whose spine is weak once will never be able to straighten it again. The Hatakeyama family is not what it used to be. Hatakeyama Takamasa has learned to be humble, and he can naturally do so again and again.
Yiyin sighed helplessly, when did he say that he would not give rewards? It was Hosokawa and Maeda below who were shouting blindly, making people panic.
But this is okay. Originally, Yiyin was worried about the Wu family's greed for land and refused to give land rewards, fearing that some people would be dissatisfied.
Now that they are being disturbed like this, no one will care about the land reward anymore. It would be great if they can use money and food to spend the reward.
The Kwantung Allied Forces have been settled by Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo, and they have clearly stated that they want money and food. In recent years, the Allied Forces will probably agree to only take money and food.
As for the petitions from Yamanaka, Shima, Hosokawa, and Maeda, Yoshigan would not agree.
Rewards must be given. Just by showing respect to God and calling Yiyin a saint, Yiyin, the living god, will receive a big red envelope.
….
The Spo family is short of money and food, but they are not short of money or food either.
It is said that it is lacking because the Spo family currently relies mainly on credit to maintain its economy, and their own territory does not produce much money and food.
The reason why there is no shortage is because the Hokurikudo trade route system headed by the Shiba family is complete, and Shiba's purchasing power of food stamps is strong. In theory, the money printing machine still has a lot of room to continue to play before it reaches the limit.
Therefore, as long as the Sibo camp warriors participating in the war are willing to accept the rewards of money and food and do not pursue the rewards of land, Yiyin can satisfy them.
But land is Samurai Ji's favorite. Without land as a reward for military merit, it would be like a meal without salt, which would be tasteless.
Fortunately, after such a fuss, the matter of land reward was finally over.
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I really don't know what you are worried about?
Loyal and righteous people have gone through fire and water for the sake of the martial arts, and shed their blood and sacrificed their lives. Will I, Sibo Yiyin, be stingy about the rewards? "
Ninagawa Akashi and Hatakeyama Takamasa raised their heads together and looked at Yoshigan in surprise.
Yiyin sighed and continued.
"There should be no bounty from the land. Although Oda Nobunaga was defeated, his strength is still there, and I don't want to push him too hard.
As long as she is willing to admit her mistakes, change her ways, and no longer weaken the dominance of the Wu family, I can tolerate her.
Therefore, this negotiation should not yield much land, so families should not expect land rewards.
However, I will not deprive you of the money and food that each family spends on sending troops, and the compensation that loyal and righteous men deserve for their deaths and injuries.
I have ordered the Tongxin Secretariat to start counting military achievements and calculating rewards. In short, I will give each family a satisfactory answer. "
Hatakeyama Takamasa and Ninagawa Makoto breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They could finally go back and give an explanation to the people below them, and they bowed down gratefully to thank them.
"The whole army must be filled with gratitude for the saint's grace."
Yiyin couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. If he hadn't made such a fuss and didn't give the land a reward, it would be hard to say it out loud.
The current situation is like a political trick of two steps forward and one step back.
Akechi Mitsuhide secretly and openly forced everyone to give up their rewards. Although everyone was unwilling to do so, they did not have the courage to object.
Yiyin proposed at this time that he would not give land as a reward, but only money and food.
Instead of being criticized or dissatisfied, everyone feels happy that something was lost and found again, and they love Yiyin even more for its kindness and compassion.
It can only be said that this bastard Akechi Mitsuhide has really figured out the thoughts of the Wu family, this shady fox who plays with people's hearts.
This alone is not enough, Yiyin said calmly.
"In this fierce battle at Yu Wu Lake, the soldiers of each family moved forward with their lives. I saw it in my eyes and was very pleased.
I have decided to use one hundred Sibo to reward the meritorious officials of each family. What do you think? "
Ninagawa Makoto and Hatakeyama Takamasa were stunned at the same time. Ninagawa Makoto rolled his eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty, the Shiba uniform is exclusive to Shiba's retainers. Isn't it inappropriate for me and other foreign ministers to hold the Shiba uniform?"
Yiyin smiled.
"These establishments are my thanks to the loyal men who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for the samurai family. The relevant personnel only enjoy the treatment of Shiba establishment and do not join the Shiba family."
When Ninagawa heard this, he was overjoyed and bowed.
"Your Majesty is merciful, and I would like to express my gratitude to the righteous men."
Yiyin smiled.
"Don't thank me too early, I have something to say up front.
Spo's system only rewards truly meritorious officials. Don't use tricks like Li Dai Tao Zang to make truly loyal people bleed and shed tears.
If someone makes a joke, hurts the hearts of the righteous, and damages my face, I will be really angry. "
Yoshigan seemed to be joking, but Ninagawa Chisei and Hatakeyama Takamasa were frightened and did not dare to say anything. Some little thoughts that had just popped up were immediately wiped out by themselves.
Yiyin looked at the sweat on their heads and smiled without saying a word.
