Chapter 231 Entering the capital and facing the saint, the rise of the shogunate
In fact, there was no money and food for Yoshinaga, and there was no financial problem for the Uesugi family, but Echigo's maritime trade still made money, and Echigo also had a gold mountain.
Kanayama on Sado Island is now under Echigo's control, and Uesugi Masatora values Yoshinaga's support for him.
In the evening, Uesugi Masata and Yoshicho were alone in the room, and Masahu raised his glass and frowned: "Yoshicho, I'm very tired in the bottom, these retainers always only pay attention to themselves, why can't they support Dayi?" ”
Yoshicho was afraid that Uesugi Masahu would run away with his burden again, so he hurriedly comforted: "Just because there is only one person in this world, Masato, your retainers are mortals after all, and mortals have their own seven emotions and six desires, so they care more about their family." ”
Uesugi Masana nodded and said, "What Yoshicho said is so right, it seems that I have to urge them to read more Buddhist scriptures, and feel the greatness of the Bishamen Heavenly God with me." ”
Yoshicho was almost dumbfounded, if Uesugi Masatora really did this, this Echigo is estimated to never have peace.
He hurriedly said: "Zheng Huqi, this person's faith must be voluntary, you force their behavior, but you can't restrain his heart, only they are willing to let them follow your will."
Everyone has his demands, just like the people under your rule, their inner wish is probably that the troubled times are over, he still has land to plant, can eat and wear clothes, and live so simply.
And our retainers and those samurai are ashigaru, who want war, so that they can plunder money and gain military exploits.
However, the more territories the retainers acquired, the more they wanted, so the policy of separating soldiers and peasants was implemented, and the scope of each occupation was regulated.
For example, there are two kinds of retainers and samurai, and the first category of civil servants is to manage taxes, warehouse revenue and expenditure management, etc., and the only way for them to get them is to receive the monthly salary issued to them.
Martial retainers mainly obtained territories through military exploits, so as to obtain Yulu, but they no longer provided Yulu.
As samurai, they could not participate in business or farming, and they spent their lives practicing the art of war.
As for the merchants, they were also under their jurisdiction, and all commercial transactions were under the supervision of the lower retainers, especially the trade in grain, salt, iron, and wine.
Workers can only work, and farmers can only farm, so that the behavior of the individual can be regulated, and he will not be allowed to do things outside the rules, so as to stabilize the interior. ”
Uesugi Masatora was very excited when he heard such a policy, and he felt that such a policy could indeed stabilize the family.
And isn't the peaceful and stable social structure under such a policy the world he wants?
Uesugi Masata walked up to Yoshicho excitedly, shook his hand and said, "Yoshinaga, this policy you said is really good!" I completely depicted what I was thinking in my heart.
Some people say that you are treacherous and loyal, but you have never believed that you are the person who knows the most in this world, and now, you are even more determined in this idea.
As long as you and I work together to implement this policy, His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness will be able to govern the world! ”
Yichang raised his eyebrows, if this policy is rolled out now, then the fun will be great.
He hurriedly said: "This matter still needs to be implemented slowly, and the political tiger must not be in a hurry." ”
Uesugi Masatoshi agreed, and then happily got drunk.
Early the next morning, Uesugi Masata revoked the requirement that the retainers must give gifts, and those retainers who had followed Hojo Takahiro to make trouble immediately ran to Kasuga Yamajo Castle to apologize, and Hojo Takahiro forgave them after just a few words.
Later, Hojo Takahiro came to Kasuga Mountain Castle alone and pleaded guilty to Uesugi Masato.
Kasuga Yamajo Castle Honmaruchi Ohiroma, Uesugi Masatora glared at Hojo Takahiro and said: "Takahiro, it's all because of you, this battle fell short, and the family suffered a big loss!" ”
Hojo Takahiro bowed his head and said, "My lord, my subordinates are all for you and the Uesugi family!" Why did you rush into Ninja Castle? Isn't it to rescue Mamoru Ogasawara Shinano? Don't you think he's still alive and well? ”
Uesugi Masahu shouted angrily: "Shut up, Yi Changshu is my confidant, you are only intriguing for your own little thing, arguing every day, and you don't know the righteousness at all!"
But Yoshinaga has been supporting me, so he offended Imagawa and the others, and you still don't understand him? Why target him? ”
Hojo Takahiro said angrily: "Lord, you have been deceived by him, and on the way to Luoluo with you, he took advantage of Minong, and later got Hida, and then took over half of the country in Vietnam."
Now that he has fought with Imagawa and taken over Nishimikawa, you can see clearly that Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru is constantly expanding his power! ”
Uesugi Masatoshi sneered: "You are really mortals with shallow vision, you don't know my heart, Hojo Takahiro, you immediately apologize to Yoshinagaki." ”
Hojo Takahiro immediately stiffened his neck and said: "Lord, this is impossible, Your Majesty would rather have a seppuku!" ”
Uesugi Masahu was very annoyed, and immediately said, "Then you will..."
Yichang hurriedly shouted: "Zhenghu, slow down!" The Hojo Castle Lord is also for your own good, so don't be angry, I don't care about the Hojo Castle Lord's thoughts.
In fact, I also agree with the opinion of the lord of Hojo Castle, Imagawa and others will eventually fail in the face of righteousness, and the political tiger will pacify the Kanto thieves as soon as possible, and the thieves of Tokaido will definitely be defeated. ”
Uesugi Masata nodded and smiled, "It's all causing you trouble." ”
Then he looked at Hojo Takahiro and said, "Hmph, since Yoshicho has interceded for you, I will spare you and step down." ”
Hojo Takahiro glared at Yoshicho angrily, and then left sullenly.
Yoshicho smiled: "It's still the charm of the political tiger, this turmoil will end in just a few days." ”
Uesugi Masahu smiled: "Hahaha, even if you send troops, you can be sure that you will be pacified within a few days, alas, but they still can't really support you." ”
Yichang hurriedly persuaded: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and Zheng Huqi still needs more patience to slowly influence them." ”
Uesugi Masato's depression eased a little, and then he took Yoshinaga on a tour to enjoy the scenery of Echigo.
After a few days, the two families made preparations and traveled by sea to Kyoto.
Kyoto is now much more prosperous, because Yoshinaga signed a peace treaty with the Miyoshi family, and the entire Yamashiro province entered a period of peace for several months.
Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshiteru is also a self-motivated general, and with the assistance of Mibuchi Fujiei, this year's shogunate collected taxes for the first time and conscripted the army.
The shogunate with a large army was different, and the Wakasa Takeda family, which was close to Kyoto, asked the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru to administer justice.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru immediately decided to let his brother-in-law Takeda Yoshitomi serve as the guardian of Wakasa Province and the head of the Wakasa Takeda family.
Takeda Yoshitomi, originally known as Takeda Shinto. Later, the Muromachi shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, was partial to changing the name of the system, and in 1548, he married Yoshiharu's daughter as the main room.
Wakasa Province is a country of Hokuriku facing Wakasa Bay.
It is bordered by Echizen Province to the east by the Nosaka Mountains, Tango Province to the west by Mt. Aoba, to the south by the Tamba Highlands, which divides Tanba Province and Omi Province, and to the north by Wakasa Bay, which is roughly bow-shaped.
Wakasa is a small country with only three counties, Enshiki, Sankata, and Oi, and there are no large rivers or plains.
Agricultural production is not very developed, but because of the coastline from east to west and the natural harbor such as Ohama, the fishing, shipping, and salt industries are relatively developed.
The three small countries are surrounded by mountains, but none of them are high mountains, so trade is relatively easy but less defensive, and Wakasa Bay is close to Tango, so the sea is not safe.
However, because of its proximity to Kyoto and its seaport, it has always been valued by those in power.
So Ashikaga Yoshiki and Takeda Yoshiki hit it off, Takeda Yoshitomi used the power of the shogunate to revitalize the Wakasa Takeda family, while Ashikaga Yoshiki needed a Wakasa Takeda family head who was close to the shogunate.
In order to stabilize Wakasa, Yoshitomi's father was transferred to live in Kyoto, and Wakasa Takeda family power retainer Awaya Katsuhisa was also forced to come to Kyoto with the old family owner.
Now Ashikaga Yoshiki is actively helping some samurai families in Gyeonggi to restore their territories, such as the Kyogoku family in Kita-Omi, but Yoshiki is not unscrupulous, and he still has to discuss the matter of Omi with Rokkaku Yoshiken.
Of course, the royal companions in the shogunate also fought for power, and later they were ranked according to the nobility of the family name, which temporarily quelled the internal strife.
Now the tallest in the shogunate is the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, followed by Mibuchi Fujiei and Hosokawa Harumoto, and the rest are the royal companions.
Among these royal companions is Takeda Shintoka, Shintora immediately left his son-in-law Imagawa's house when he learned that the shogunate was rising, and Baba came to the shogunate to cry about the evil deeds of his son Takeda Harunobu, and now he is also an official and a half-job.
Don't look at Xinhu was driven away by Takeda Harunobu, but Shinhu is also an excellent general, the Takeda family was re-emerged and unified in the hands of Shinhu, and Takeda Harunobu's basic plate was laid down by Takeda Shinhu.
Yoshicho and Uesugi Masatora came to Kyoto to learn that Ashikaga Yoshiteru had done a lot in Gyeonggi in the past few months.
Yoshicho was a little trembling at this, if the shogunate really rose, he would really be called lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
Fortunately, he remembered that Honganji Zhengru would suddenly die of illness next year, and his son Xianru was only 12 years old, and it was only with the help of his grandmother that he ascended to the position of Honganji Dharma Master.
At that time, Honganji itself had problems to deal with, and it was obvious that if he wanted to consolidate his position, I am afraid that Miyoshi Nagakei would no longer be afraid of Honganji, and he would definitely tear up the peace treaty and attack the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
In other words, Ashikaga Yoshiki still has a few months to develop in the world, and then he will go to war with the Miyoshi family.
Yoshicho had to sigh that Ashikaga Yoshiteru's fate was too bad, and if he lived for a long time, it was entirely possible for the shogunate to rise.
When the shogunate is attacked by the Miyoshi family, he will have to worry about whether to send troops to support, and it will depend on the situation at that time.
Yoshicho and Masahu arrived in Kyoto and went to meet the emperor, with the financial support of Yoshicho and Masato, the emperor's life was much better, this time when the minister and the emperor met Yoshicho and Masanto, their clothes were changed to the Shu brocade clothes of the Ming Kingdom.
After meeting the Empress, they went to visit Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru the next day.
Ashikaga Yoshiki was very happy when he saw Yoshicho and Masato, especially Yoshicho took the Yamashiro country for him, which made the shogunate look like this, especially since his subordinates could recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus reinforcements from the Rokkaku family, it was okay to get together nearly 20,000.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru took a letter and said with a smile: "Thanks to this, you can say that you helped me get back the mountain castle, and now the life of the shogunate is much better."
Shinano Shou, in the future, you will worship my Hui Zi, and when the world is calm, you will come to the shogunate to help me govern the world together! ”
Yoshicho took the letter and opened it, and there were five characters written on it, and it was written with the words Ogasawara Terucho, and this will be his new name in the future.
The same Uesugi Masato changed its name to Uesugi Teruto.
After he and Shogun thanked him, the meeting soon ended, and he left the shogun's palace to visit Kyoto.
Uesugi Terutora stayed, secretly met with the general, and talked about Teinaga's policy of separating soldiers and peasants.
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Mibuchi Fujiei on the side and said, "What do you think?" ”
Mibuchi Fujiei frowned, and was silent for a long time without speaking, just when Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Uesugi Terutora couldn't help but ask, Mibuchi Fujiei nodded and said, "Great!"
His Royal Highness, Uesugi Temple, Shinano Mormori's policy distinguishes the scope of each person's duties, so that people can know what to do and what not to do.
It can also limit the strength of the retainers and samurai below, so that the retainers and samurai can only serve their official duties wholeheartedly. ”
Ashikaga Yoshiki still didn't quite understand, Mibuchi Fujiei hurriedly explained carefully, and the face of Uesugi Teruto, who was listening on the side, also changed and changed.
Ashikaga Yoshiki smiled: "Hahaha, if the shogunate implements this policy in the future, there will be no more wars in the world, Shinano Shou Dacai!"
But why didn't Mamoru Shinano report this policy? This made the shogunate almost miss out on this strategy. ”
Uesugi Teruhu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, probably because Shinano Mamoru felt that the policy was too novel and did not dare to report it rashly, with Shinano Mamoru being loyal to His Highness, Shinano Mamoru was more cautious." ”
Mibuchi Fujiei also said: "Your Highness, Shinano's policy is unprecedented, and it is right to be cautious, Shinano Shou is implemented in his own territory, and it should be a test. ”
Ashikaga Yoshiki nodded and said, "That's right, Shinano has a heart, and I will definitely reward Shinano Mamoru again." ”
Uesugi Terutora then stepped back.
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Mibuchi Fujiei and said, "Do you think Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru is really just worried about the practicality of the policy?" ”
Mibuchi Fujiei bowed his head and said: "I have never heard of this policy in Xia, so it can be seen that this is Shinano Mamoru himself came up with it, and it is unknown whether it can succeed, and it is normal for Shinano Mamoru to have concerns." ”
Ashikaga Yoshiki nodded and said: "Now that Shinano Mamoru is the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and he has a million stones, the Miyoshi family in Gyeonggi has not been able to beat him, and the Imagawa family in Tokaido has also been defeated."
You understand, it's not that I don't trust Shinano Mamoru, but I'm afraid that Shinano Mamoru's retainers will bewitch him, do you understand? ”
Mibuchi Fujiei bowed his head and said: "Ha, Your Majesty understands His Highness's concerns, but even if Shinano Mamoru betrays the shogunate, His Majesty thinks that the Kanto Governor will also stop Shinano Mamoru." ”
For Uesugi Teruto, Ashikaga Yoshiki trusts him very much, after all, Uesugi Terutora left his family governor and ran to become a monk without saying a word, what ambition can such a person have?
At night, both Tei Naga and Hui Hu stayed in the general's palace, but Hui Chang still met with Iizuna Nobumoto, who was staying in Gyeonggi, and he had been monitoring the actions of all parties in Gyeonggi.
Iizuna Nobumoto talked about the situation of the Miyoshi family, because Shikawa Ichigen died in battle, and Shikawa Ichiku's son Kuma Wangmaru was only two years old, and it was difficult to deter the people of Sanuki Country.
Therefore, Miyoshi Chokei and his younger brother Miyoshi Yoshiken worked together to deter the reactionary forces in Sanuki, and at the same time, another younger brother, Miyoshi Minoru, served as the rear minister of Kumaomaru.
Yichang thought about it, I'm afraid that the current Sanhao family and the general are fighting in five or five, without ten rivers and one saving, the Sanyoshi family is missing a fierce general.
It's just right, let the Miyoshi family consume the general's strength, he still has to think about his situation first.
In Kyoto, Hui Chang had a very good time, this time he didn't bring his daughters, and the wives and concubines in the family were pregnant, and even the cutest Chizuru had signs of pregnancy.
Therefore, it is not good for Hui Chang to stay in the imperial palace, so he happens to learn kendo with the shogun, or go hunting with him.
However, in November, Kyoto's West Gate is a little lively, and it turns out that people from the Miyoshi family have come to Kyoto.
After all, at the end of the year, Miyoshi Chokei is also going to visit the emperor and shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Hui Chang led a group of his subordinates to the west gate to watch the Miyoshi family enter the city, and when he saw the banner of the Miyoshi family, he muttered with some dissatisfaction: "How can the family crest of the Miyoshi family occupy my Ogasawara family crest and Ueda family crest, touch porcelain!" ”
Of course, I just complained, and there were more family crinkles in the world this day.
Soon, Hui Chang saw Matsunaga Show, and then Miyoshi Changqing, Miyoshi Yoshiken and others.
This was followed by the banner of the Ten Rivers family crest, but the general on the horse was a woman.
Hui Chang was stunned for a moment and said, "This general of the Ten Rivers family is actually a Ji warrior?" ”
Mibuchi Fujiei, who accompanied Teei, smiled, "Shinano Mamoru doesn't know yet, right?" That's the princess of the Kujo family, the only daughter of Zhitong Gong, who has been different since she was a child, and likes to dance with guns and sticks, so she has the same interests as Ghost Shihe.
The married life was also very happy, but after the death of Kijukawa at the hands of Shinano Mamoru, Kijukawa's sister-in-law was too young, so Miyoshi Minoru served as the rear servant and managed Sanuki with the princess of the Kujo family. ”
Hui Chang smiled and said: "Hey, these ten rivers are lucky, and they actually married the princess of the public family, tsk, it's a pity that he died early." ”
As soon as his voice fell, the princess of the Kujo family looked at him, and Hui Chang looked at it, and smiled at Mibuchi Fujiying: "The luck of the ten rivers is probably used up in marrying the princess of the Kujo family." ”
The reason why Hui Chang said this is because this princess looks very heroic and very beautiful, probably the kind of heroic beauty that Lin Qingxia is undefeated in the East.
Mibuchi Fujiei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Shinano Mamoru should be careful, women's hearts and eyes are very small, and they are still a little impulsive." ”
Hui Chang smiled: "Hahaha, Yamashiro guards the filter, and there is a side room in the next house that also likes to dance with guns and sticks, but after all, the woman's strength is smaller, so she should not be afraid." ”
Mibuchi Fujiei smiled: "Isn't it that Shinano Mamoru likes such a tone?" No wonder they pay attention to the widow of Oni Shihe. ”
"If you want to be pretty, you must be filial." Hui Chang thought in his heart.
