An official document received by Hirate Honhide, signed by the Shogun Seiyi, the Sansan, the Powerful Nayan Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the Shogunate Governor, and the Shogunate, and the two Shogunate Shogunate, Oda Nobunaga, signed and signed together, is obviously extremely authoritative.

Judging from the text, the common meaning of these two big men is to let someone replace him as the guardian of Awaji and Izumi, and then fill the position of guardian of Kii Province.

In other words, following Oda and Asai, the region produced a powerful lord who served as the guardian of many countries. Moreover, the first two were only recognized as "illegally occupied" land, and only the Tie Honhide was able to get Kii out of thin air.

This is not a small country like Izumi and Awaji.

Kii is a country with a vast territory and abundant resources, with an estimated population of about 230,000 and a total height of at least 400,000, and a maximum of 30,000 troops. If we remove the chaff and keep the essence and streamline the administration, we can maintain a standing army of more than 10,000 people.

Such a hot dispatch suddenly fell on the head without warning, which is really a great grace.

But there was no excitement in his heart, and he even wanted to scold a little.

What is the situation in that place, do you think I don't know?

There are many people, chaos is rampant, three steps and one stone, five steps and one wall.

The Saga Party, who believes in the Ichijo sect, or the root people who believe in the Shingon sect, which one is easy to provoke? The rest of the people such as Yukawa and Yuzhi naturally have two brushes to be neighbors with the ferocious mercenaries.

When Heite Honhide first arrived in Izumi, the first thing he did was to build a castle in the area of Chigoshibori, which borders Kii Province in the south, and ordered Yori Sasa to lead 500 people to defend it, and his jealousy can be seen.

"Hatakeyama Jingo (Hatakeyama Shogao, the official position is Saemon Governor, Tang name Jingo) killed the traitor in the family, Yuzo Shin, and Kii's guardian was cut off, so that the people's hearts were panicked, and there was no way to settle down if they were not tied with their affairs."

- Ashikaga Yoshiaki said so, which can be considered righteous and stern nonsense.

From the perspective of a bystander, you can understand his words and deeds.

Considering the recent situation, especially for the actions of the Tieshou Bunhide in the "Giving the Knife" incident, it is reasonable to give a full reward. However, the shogunate actually mastered too few things, and the remaining imperial materials, temples, and customs offices were reluctant to cut the meat, and in the end, only empty titles were left to be taken out.

But even if it's an empty title, it's not so easy to give it away. It's meaningless to serve too far away, if you seal a Hokkaido problem, can people really run over to take office?

The vacancies in the vicinity are very limited, and there is not much space after placing Oda Nobutada and Asai Nagamasa. Only the Kii guardian who was left with the embroidered pillow of Hatakeyama Akitaka and the southern half of Kawachi was left empty.

Think about it this way...... The southern half of Hanoi is only a little more than 100,000 stones, and it is also in chaos. (The general sent Akechi Mitsuhide to pacify him, but this was purely a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for people) In comparison, although Kii Country is more chaotic, it is big enough. Even if you can only control one-tenth of the territory, there are forty or fifty thousand stones.

This is already Ashikaga Yoshiaki showing friendliness.

However, the tie is more about joint and several liability. The mercenaries of Saga and Nerai often participated in the battles of, especially the Saga party, which believed in the Ichijo sect, and had a close relationship with Ishiyama Honganji, and they advanced and retreated together, causing numerous troubles.

Last year, the Heite family withdrew from Izumi, and the shogunate sent two acting officials - called Iio Sadaharu and Miki Masaki, these two unlucky people were driven away by the second leader of the Saga Party (second only to the Suzuki family) Tsuchihashi Morishige, who collected money to do things. This matter is still a foolish account that has been deliberately put on hold and ignored.

Once you become a magistrate, you probably can't continue to pretend to be confused, you have to have an explanation, and it will become a hot potato that you can't throw away. Too much toughness can provoke turmoil, and too much weakness can damage reputation and detriment to the rule of other regions.

For a few moments, Hiseki thought about simply refusing the appointment.

But in the end, he lowered his head and accepted it in a deep voice.

Because we are in a Warring States with bad manners.

On the paperwork in his hand, there was a familiar signature that was slightly different from the previous one—yes, it was not Ashikaga Yoshiaki who did not go his own way, and even Nobunaga, who lived in seclusion, agreed to it as the governor. His handwriting has been seen countless times, but now that he has been in the military for a long time, his writing is far less powerful than it used to be.

If it were an arrogant person like Nobunaga...... No matter what Longtan Tiger's Den, there must be no reason to shirk, the sword mountain and the sea of fire or something, it's on it!

But this is also one of the reasons why he has suddenly risen to prominence.

Obviously already living in troubled times, rising and dying in an instant, saving and abandoning a thought, how many people do their best just to survive, how can there be any room to consider the question of whether it is troublesome?

Getting the guardian position of a great country always has more advantages than disadvantages, and that's enough!

……

On the whole, in horizontal comparison, Tieshou Fanxiu is already the most calm person in this round of reward processing, and several other companies have their own problems.

Oda Nobutada barely retained the core interests left by his father, but he also lost almost all of the non-core interests.

Niwa Nagahide died, and the Niwa family and retainers also suffered heavy losses, and the survivors had no other thoughts than to return to Owari's hometown to hibernation, so the southeastern territory of Equestria was not secured, and the control of Ikuno Ginzan had no choice but to give up.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi's position as the commissioner of Kaimachi has not been vetoed for the time being, but without the backing of Nobunaga's army, it may be a matter of time before he is squeezed out, even if he is tied with Hideyoshita, it is useless to pull him.

Shibata Katsuie and Takigawa Kazuyoshi became the acting officials of Minami Omi and Kita Ise respectively, and their surface power reached about one-third of Oda Nobutada's. The situation of these two people is very delicate, and if they are on the top, they will be sandwiched between Ashikaga and Oda, and on the other, they may not be able to exercise the functions of acting officials normally.

Asai Nagamasa got three disconnected territories, and it was not easy to manage and defend. His "little friends", from Takataka Kuroda, who came up with the idea, to Besshoji Nagaharu, who contributed troops, and Araki Murashige, who helped him take down the head of Miyoshi Nagaitsu, all of them have also been recognized by the shogunate as guardians, and they are theoretically equal to each other, and their future development is intriguing.

Regarding Ashikaga Yoshiaki's arrangement, everyone was more or less not satisfied.

However, after the first expression of "gladly accepting" by Hinobu Honhide, Asai Nagamasa immediately "thanked the princess for the favor", and Oda Nobutada could only follow closely and say something like "I am grateful for the generous gifts".

At such a sensitive moment, everyone doesn't want to be too special and conspicuous.

Then things are much simpler.

Matsunaga Xiu's attitude was not bad during this time, so his son Jiutong Neitong Miyoshi Changyi was forgiven, which can be regarded as a merit and demerit. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu has been following in the footsteps of the shogunate, and although he has no military achievements, his position is very firm, and he has been given an honorary position of "Imperial Companion". Tokugawa Ieyasu made some efforts, so his dominance over Enoe was unofficially recognized. Tsutsui Shunkei Gamo Dingxiu was granted the privilege of not being restrained by the local guardian envoys......

Many other people who were not on the table with soy sauce at all also received spiritual rewards such as sentimental expressions or military fans.

The appointment of the guardian has caused all kinds of unspeakable unpleasantness, but it is still very happy that everyone has been promoted together.

Due to his low background, Asai Nagamasa has never had an official status, and he looks inferior when he greets him. This time, he did something that pleased the princess, so he was recommended and received a lower price to get "Hinata Mamoru from the fifth place". Interestingly, this is exactly Miyoshi Changyi's old job.

Taking advantage of this east wind, Tieshou Fan Xiu also paid 500 yuan in gifts, and was transferred to the "Fifth Junior Auxiliary of the Lower Criminal Department"; Oda Nobutada's official has not been for a long time, so "from the five positions, the left near doctor will be in prison as the original"; Takigawa Kazuki got the "Iga Mamoru from the fifth place", which is considered to be on the same level as Shibata......

All in all, in the words of the people of Kyoto, it is: Danzheng is a secluded residence, and the public side is in charge; Heng Grace is indiscriminately rewarded, and nobles are like clouds.

The only one who didn't receive good news at all was probably the Asakura family in Echizen.

Asakura Yoshikage, who has become a frightened bird, didn't bother much, and verbally agreed to accept the "orphan of the former general Yoshihui" as an adopted son. He didn't have a son anyway, and he wasn't asked to abdicate immediately.

However, there is still a bit of a dispute over the selection of assistants.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's idea was to use this young boy as a tool to gather the opposition in Echizen and foster a powerful local faction that was naturally close to the shogunate. At the same time, this can also slightly restrain the expansion of Omi Asai - the neighbor becomes the Ashikaga Konji, and it is difficult to find the righteous name of the attack.

But it was obviously impossible for the Asakura family to accept such a request.

Even if Asakura Yoshikei himself agrees, the ministers will have opinions.

During this period of bargaining, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was not idle, and invited the samurai of to hold social activities such as songs and tea parties every day.

Of course, the participants are mainly Oda Nobutada and Asai Nagamasa, followed by Hirate Honhide, Matsunaga Hide, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, while Shibata Katsuie, Takigawa Kazuki, Tsutsui Shunkei, Gamo Dinghide, Bestsuro Nagaharu, Araki Murashige, etc., are often invited. Except for Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had traveled a long way, and returned home early, everything that should have arrived has arrived.

In order to strengthen his own authority, he grafted over the "old trend" that defeated Saito, Kitabatake, Rokkaku, and Miyoshi in the past, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki even let the "Oda Leader" attend twice.

Although it was only a lingering sickbed, his face was gray, and he coughed and said goodbye when he showed his face.

Everyone knows that the shogun's intention in doing this is to take advantage of this occasion to artificially create contradictions between the monarch and the minister, so as not to threaten the leadership of the Ashikaga family.

But I still had to attend along, and some people still enjoyed it.

For example, Araki Murashige and Takikawa Kazuyi are very enthusiastic about this kind of activity, and no one knows whether they really like culture or have other plans.
