Under the cold and freezing, the passage of time seemed to become less obvious, and unconsciously, in an instant, it had entered the fifth year of the Yuan Turtle.

The era name "Motoki" was obtained by Ashikaga Yoshiaki after inheriting the position of the general of the Seiyi, in order to strengthen his legitimacy, he begged the imperial court to change the yuan.

Now in the fifth year of Motokame, that is, Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been ruling at the Nijo Imperial Palace in Kyoto for five years.

This was an achievement that was not so easy for a shogun at the end of Muromachi.

Of course, only those who know the "original historical plot" will firmly believe that this is the end of the Muromachi period, and that the natives of this era cannot 100% rule out the possibility of the revival of the Ashikaga family.

This generation of Gongfang adults grew up in the monk's house, and his gestures did not quite meet the requirements of the traditional samurai family, and he was also frightened, and he had disgust and fear of swordsmanship, and in terms of first impressions, compared to his brother "Sword Shogun" Ashikaga Yoshiaki, it was far inferior.

However, Yoshiaki, who is unparalleled in martial arts, was repeatedly driven out of Kyoto by the Miyoshi family, and was finally killed in the palace, while Yoshiaki, who was powerless, survived Oda Nobunaga, who was stronger than Miyoshi Nagakei.

I really don't know whether to say that the strong are lucky, or whether to say that courage is not as good as conspiracy after all.

Looking back on the past five years, the fate of everyone around the Kyoto Imperial Palace has taken a thrilling turn. In addition to Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself, Oda Nobunaga, Asai Nagamasa, Hirate Tsuhide, Shibata Katsuie, Takigawa Kazui, Shigenoharu Takenaka, and the deceased Niwa Nagahide and Mori Kasei...... They are all fortunate to be participants and witnesses of history.

The ups and downs of the world are really unpredictable.

As soon as I think of this, I have the urge to find three or five old acquaintances and friends to reminisce about the past eventful years.

However, objective conditions do not allow for such indulgence.

On the contrary, the schedule around the Spring Festival in the fifth year of Yuangui was full, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath.

On December 23, seven days before Chinese New Year's Eve, seeing that the temperature had flattened and traffic conditions had improved slightly, he ordered people to count the situation of the "Yishe" receiving refugees.

Then, according to the statistics, more than 3,400 people have entered the house to seek help, and nearly 1,000 of them have died, and their bodies have been disposed of. Of the remaining 2,400 people, most of them have fled from other villages, and they are now penniless and need to be properly resettled after the beginning of spring.

The overall situation is within the acceptable range, except for the slightly higher mortality rate, which makes Tieshou Honxiu can't help but feel compassion for half a second.

According to the pre-plan, these people will be sent to Kii as direct subjects of the Hirate family to open up the wasteland and fill the gap after the transfer of the Yukawa and Suzuki families and the fall of the Tsuchihashi clan.

Masashi Nagazue, a new arithmetic genius, believes that the refugees will continue to be attrition during the relocation and assignment of jobs, and that between 300 and 600 people will unfortunately die. If this tragedy is to be avoided, additional personnel and materials will have to be added to support it, which will cost about four or five thousand more.

However, after a modest ideological struggle, the tie rejected the proposal to expand the budget.

Because I had just spent a lot of money on Honganji, I was starting to have some money in hand, and when I was stretched thin, I had to save as much as I could.

He would rather give money to the flower monk with a fat head and big ears than increase the allocation to the impoverished, hungry and cold refugees, which made Pingshou feel uneasy in conscience twice in a day for the first time in a long time.

And the second time lasted quite long, about thirty seconds or so.

The military generals who calculate the enemy do not have any psychological burden at all, but once it involves innocent low-level people, it will always make people uncomfortable. While this discomfort may only weigh a few milligrams, it represents an important difference between "yes" and "no".

A day later, Hirate and the four Shingon monks set off at the same time to join the Shingon sect team in Tamwa Port and cross the sea to Shikoku to hold disaster relief and prayer services.

It is said that it is disaster relief and prayer, but in fact, everyone knows that disaster relief is supplemented by prayer.

Because disaster relief costs a lot of money, there is no need to pray for blessings.

In the Awa Hokan incident, the Ichijo sect and the Shingon sect used the "selfless help" of the Heite clan to greatly expand in Awa and Sanuki, which were their main positions.

In addition, Tosa and southern Iyo will also be taken into account.

The old monk from Ishiyama, whose legal name is "Riri", probably wanted to understand what was going on at this time, and knew that it was the Venerable Master who was going to deal with him behind him, so he accepted the new task with peace of mind, and there was no difference along the way, and occasionally asked someone to ask about the customs and customs of Shikoku Island to prepare.

With the expansion of the power of the sect, the trend of internal bureaucratization could no longer be curbed. The high-level leaders are accustomed to showing off their might in the conference room, and they have long forgotten the deeds of going down to the grassroots level in the past.

was bullied by outsiders, and he could still go home to find a leader in the organization, but what could he do if he was cheated by his own boss?

It's better to simply push the boat down the river and take this opportunity to start anew.

First of all, stand firm, cultivate your own network foundation, and find the time to take the initiative to give up the central right to speak and go to the four countries to preach, in this case, it is obvious that the Venerable Master will not be willing to go, and he will have to compensate for some resources.

When you arrive at your new place of work, it's never too late to work hard. In the future, if there are 100,000 believers, 100 imperial houses, quietly buy a batch of armor and iron cannons, and be a soil emperor, listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, it is more comfortable than being an elder in Shishan.

Nagashima Temple is an example to follow.

The lessons learned from the Notokaga area of Hokuriku need to be learned vigilantly. After years of fighting against daimyo of the scale of Asakura and Uesugi, it is too unwise to throw their heads and spill their blood and spill all the benefits of being taken up by the people sent by Ishiyama.

This old monk is worthy of his quick wit, and in just a few days, he figured out a problem - although the Heite family is friendly with Honganji, they may not be happy to see the Tsuyoji monolithic.

There is no need to use a hot face on the cold ass of Hite, but what do the retainers under his command think?

Thinking of this, the monk felt that it was not so difficult.

……

At this time, Tieshou Tsuyoshi could more or less guess the old monk's thoughts.

There is no need to even guess, I already knew from the internal intelligence agency that a certain junior brother of this monk secretly visited President Konishi who was recuperating from his injuries one night.

It is said that the two can be related to each other, although they are far away.

This is the only time it has been discovered, and I don't know how many times it has not been discovered.

This kind of thing cannot be avoided, and it can only be ignored but not blocked. In the future, it is necessary to observe the after-effects before making conclusions, and it is not possible to make a false conviction just because of a single visit.

Hirata was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it, and after coming to Shikoku, he simply met with the monks and masters, and then took his leave.

There are some strange sects that are unknown and have dubious intentions in using natural disasters to gather people - this is actually true, but it is the monks who are the first trouble, not the samurai.

After bidding farewell to the monks, Hirate first chatted and laughed with Miyoshi Yasunaga and Tokawa Depository, and then met with the envoys of the Tosa Nagamune clan to show his attention, and then exchanged work issues with the three agents of Yukawa Naoharu, Kagawa no Kei, and Suzuki Shigehide.

The order of precedence not only shows respect and inferiority, but also the difference between intimacy and alienation.

The more priority there is to meet, the shorter the time to talk.

In the end, Kawada Nagakin, who had personally granted the right to "act cheaply in the affairs of the four countries", rushed over and immediately went to the secret room and discussed in detail for half a day before resting.

I talked with those friendly forces or affiliated forces for a long time before, and Yan Yan was full of vigilance in his words and smiles, and he didn't dare to believe any words. Only then did I let my guard down.

According to Kawada's description, the situation in Shikoku is a mixed bag.

The worrying part is that in the months when Kobayakawa Takakei came in person, the vigorous and resolute enforcement of the ban greatly improved the cohesion and action of the Kita Iyo-Kono family, and many people with problematic positions were punished in various ways, and Naoyuki Ohno, who was an equal, was expelled from the wall.

Then the Saionji Kohiro in central Iyo, the Kaneko Mototaku on the border of Iyo-Sanuki and others, who had already been wandering and ambiguous, were now resolutely united around the Mori family.

When he did these things, he maintained the fairness and justice on the surface very well, and he was able to point to the end and leave room for it, so it did not cause the slightest turmoil, and even the retainers and the people who were reprimanded or even punished did not have the face to "defend their rights".

As a result, the most fertile piece of land on the island of Shikoku was still firmly in the hands of the Mori family's Sanyo Legion.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, as the so-called "misfortune and fortune rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk", the other party's handwriting has also brought a little unexpected benefit.

The happy part is that Kobayakawa Takakei's behavior seems to confirm the statement that "Kono is a Maori puppet", and Miyoshi, Jukawa, and even Chosamune Ibu are terrified by this.

In contrast, Hira, who never interfered in the internal affairs of the four countries (at least not by public means), was much more amiable, and the attitude of several of them towards Kawada Naga suddenly became more friendly.

In addition, Naoyuki Ohno, who was expelled, was an ambitious, eloquent, well-connected, and unscrupulous man, and he now went around preaching about the injustices he had suffered, which deceived many people.

The more powerful the Maori family became, the more the local forces supported the Tie family as the leader of the Quad Alliance.

Of course, if the main force of the tie was not sent over, a loose alliance leader would obviously not be able to fight against the Maori family, and even Kobayakawa Takakei's Sanyo army might not be able to deal with it.

Later, he also mentioned the potential threats such as the Otomo family's mobilization of the naval army or abnormal movements, and the unwillingness of Miyoshi Nagaji to seek recovery.

Hirate Hoshu expressed his positive feelings about Kawada's work. He also promised: "Although the east side will be very serious in the future, if necessary, it is still possible to transfer four or five reserve troops to the four countries to maintain stability." ”

But Kawada refused: "How can the lord delay the righteousness of the world for the sake of me?" My precious troops deserve to be on the front lines. His subordinates intend to encourage the forces of the four countries to send troops to support you after the beginning of spring. ”

"It wasn't easy. How many troops can there be? Pingshou Tsunoxiu's eyes lit up, he knew that the minister in front of him was acting safely, and since he opened his mouth, he must be sure.

"The current estimate is 3,500 to 4,000." Kawada left a little leeway, "But the premise is that the food and salary after going ashore will be fully provided by my family......"

"Of course it's fine."

The tie was extremely excited.

Fighting against the famous Kai Takeda, three or four thousand miscellaneous troops may not have any practical effect, but the political bonus is very sufficient.

What is even more gratifying is that not only does it not need to send people to maintain stability, but it can also support the center in turn, which shows that Kawada Naga's work in Shikoku has been effective.

I finally have a retainer by my side who is both trustworthy and can be independent.
