Battles in troubled times are often zero-sum or even negative-sum games. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere are only a few deer in the world, and all hunters will fight to the death. Therefore, when the flat hand is calm and calm, and the bamboo is in the chest, the Shinohara-nagabo is inevitably overstretched, and the situation is getting worse.

"The contemptible one palace is helping, and he never dares to ignore the order of participating in the battle. However, due to the poor harvest in the past two years and the influence of morality and politics, it was really difficult to achieve the original 960 military service. Therefore, I can only send my brother to lead 150 people, talk about my heart, and ask Shinohara Ukyo-sama to forgive me. ”

"When I was inspecting Hakudi Castle the day before yesterday, I noticed that there was something unusual in the mountains, which was a sign of a large number of thieves. In order to pacify the retainers and the people, this is the only way to do it, so I can't respond to your mobilization order, and I hope that Lord Shinohara Ukyo will understand the family's suffering. ”

"I would like to report to Shinohara-Ukyo that due to the epidemic in the territory, I can't personally bring my troops here. Doing his best, he can only count the 180 soldiers who have not yet been infected, and the dogs have been counted, which is the current limit. The relatives of the clumsy sea are respectful. ”

……

The five lords of the southern part of Awa Province, as if they had discussed it, said that they could not send troops for some reason, or that they would send fewer troops. They had a total of three or four thousand soldiers, but now they have only sent six hundred, less than the required twenty percent.

Flipping through these documents with a similar tone, Shinohara's long room was furious, his face was pale, he jumped up, pulled out the flank around his waist, and chopped the tatami mats under the seat into a thousand holes. At the same time, he shouted into the air again and again:

"Puff Darre! I'll tie it up sooner or later! ”

But anger is anger, and after scolding, he still just faces reality.

The five lords who refused to send troops had one thing in common: none of them were genealogical ministers of the Miyoshi family, but newly conquered wealthy families of the previous generation. The previous leaders focused on the hegemony and did not completely clean up the Awa, so these wealthy families still retained a certain degree of freedom, and had independent adjudication and taxation rights within the territory, and only needed to obey the management in military and commercial affairs.

The hidden dangers that were buried many years ago are only now gradually being revealed.

When the Miyoshi family was in full swing and the fire was cooking, these wealthy families wanted to eat meat and drink soup through the big trees, and they would actively respond to the order to go out, for fear that they would not have their own names when they went to Kinai to fight the autumn breeze. But now the situation is different, the Miyoshi family is on an irrefutable downhill road, showing a cliff-like collapse, and they have begun to deviate from morality, and Yang Feng Yin has disobeyed.

Today, it is becoming more and more rampant, making up a random reason and openly refusing military service.

Shinohara's Nagabo knew in his heart that the real reason for his reluctance to fight must be the fear of affecting the farming.

Because of the poor fertility of the land and the abundance of water conservancy in the southern part of the country, the fields are mainly wheat, adzuki beans, and sweet potatoes, and the work of planting in summer and harvesting in summer cannot be delayed at all.

To be sure, this season really shouldn't be called out.

It's just that the cunning guy of the flat hand show chose the day of early May to invade Awaji, so he can't afford not to fight! Once the battle starts, it will definitely be difficult to distinguish the result within a month or two, which makes it very uncomfortable for those wealthy families who are still mainly peasants and soldiers.

In this way, this guy already had the current scenario in mind when he implemented the "separation of soldiers and peasants" and the "exemption of military service tax" in Izumi!

If it was the days when the three good families were strong before, they would not be afraid of this trick. At that time, there was enough prestige for the people of the Hao clan to dare not disobey orders, and there was more abundant silver money to make up for the loss of abandoned farmland, but now, ......

Something went wrong with the people of Minami Awa, causing Shinohara Nagabo to be suspicious of all the people.

Although all of Sanuki's affiliated wealthy clans came as promised, according to the report of the military supervisor, the people of Nishizanuki, led by Kagawa Nokei, were demoralized and complained, and the middle and lower class samurai were saying politically incorrect things all day long, such as "Since the death of Nagakei, mobilization has become more and more frequent, but the rewards have become less and less", and no one cared.

This situation must be punished, but not now.

First of all, after achieving a great victory on the battlefield, or earning other equal amounts of political capital, you must have enough strength to straighten your back and rebuke the wealthy who do not obey orders.

However, how can the opportunity for a great victory be easily found in the life and death of soldiers, the way to survive?

Nominally, the mobilization order was issued this time to support Awaji, but Shinohara's willingness to fight was not too strong.

After removing the absentees, he still has 12,000 men and horses in his hands, and more than 3,000 remnants led by Changhu, the son of Miyoshi Changyi, also expressed their obedience to the order. Four or five hundred ships from the two countries of Awazanuki were also collected, mainly transport ships, and there was a lack of experienced sailors and soldiers.

With this kind of strength, it is really not safe to attack Tie Tsuxiu. Although there were fewer soldiers on the other side, their morale was higher and they were ready to work. Whether it is a water battle or a beach-rushing landing, there are risks associated with each other.

Maybe we still have to look at the "strategy" of Miyoshi Changyi, although the development so far does not seem to be satisfactory.

Anyway, he was restless and couldn't handle political affairs, so Shinohara Nagabo had the idea of trying it out and walked towards the temple where Miyoshi Nagayi lived in seclusion.

……

This time, Shinohara Nagabo waved his hand and repelled the small surnames, and went on the road alone in silence, adjusting his breathing and emotions while walking on the roads in the city.

There is no doubt that the more difficult it is, the more you need to be calm.

Looking back on my youth, the current situation is not very bad.

Thirty-five years ago, the head of the previous generation, Miyoshi Moto, died in a horizontal manner, and Changqing Gong succeeded to the throne at the age of ten, and almost all the family business was taken away, and the Shinohara family almost became the dog of the lost owner.

And now, the northern part of Awa and the eastern part of Sanuki, these two regions are still firmly in their hands, and the wealthy families in the south of Awa and the west of Sanuki are only complaining and prevaricating, and they have not yet reached the level of eating inside and out.

Awaji Asutaku Nobuyasu has a clear intention to surrender to the enemy, largely due to historical reasons, but most of the pirates under him did not fall to the Oda family, but Caged Castle and waited for rescue.

In, Settsu, Izumi, and Hanoi, there are still a considerable number of people who identify with the Miyoshi family, but they are only temporarily silenced and hidden.

The high monks of Mt. Hiei and Nara, the merchants of Kaimachi, and the Ishiyama Ichijo sect also have friendships that have been formed in the past, which can be used at critical moments.

As long as Oda becomes the target of public criticism, the Miyoshi family will be able to usher in a chance to revive and slowly regain the lost territory. And when the time comes, as a housekeeper, there may not be no further opportunities......

It's just the pre-dawn darkness now, and patience is needed.

After some self-adjustment, Shinohara Nagabo walked to his destination with a completely calm state of mind.

Miyoshi Changyi is still sitting in meditation behind closed doors, posing as if he is not listening to what is going on outside the window.

But Shinohara's Nagabo doesn't give face like it used to be. After waiting for a while, he saw that Changyi didn't mean to wake up, so he said bluntly: "Hinata Mamoru, the matter of Awaji has been clarified, and this person has indeed caused some chaos as you expected, but it is not consistent with the expected situation." ”

This time, Miyoshi Changyi didn't pretend anymore, and immediately opened his eyes, but his eyes were very dissatisfied.

Shinohara's Nagabo didn't care, and continued, "Funakoshi Keinao cooperated with Suga Dacho to gather two-thirds of Awaji's pirates to defend the cage castle and ask me for help. What now? ”

"That's how it happened." Miyoshi Changyi frowned, "I originally suggested that he pretend to take refuge with An Zhai Xinkang, and then defect again." At that time, he had promised to support him as the head of the navy, and never interfere in the rulings and taxes on Awaji Island, and set up a document. ”

"Ten days ago, I sent him a letter, and it has been clearly stated that no matter who is in charge of the Miyoshi family, the previous pleadings are valid." Shinohara Nagafang's face is not too good-looking.

But he changed his mind...... "Miyoshi Changyi thought thoughtfully."

And Shinohara's eyes showed a look of suspicion, and he said suspiciously: "The strategy you said was started by this person, so isn't it a failure now......

"Of course not!" Miyoshi Nagayi was annoyed that he was being underestimated, "Funakoshi Keinao has a very simple mind, and he can easily convince with just the fact that 'the independence of the Awaji Naval Army'. Because of this, he simply doesn't have enough wits to take on the heavy responsibility of deceit, especially since the enemy is still a scheming tie. Even if he does what I say, it's hard to be trusted. ”

"Then why did you even contact him?"

"It's just a tool! If the guy Funakoshi Jingzhi pretends to surrender as agreed, then Inuko Nagahu and Shesun Nagaji will contact the enemy again and reveal some obscure information, and with the wisdom of Tie Toshi, they will be able to expose Funakoshi Jingzhi through those information, and then Nagahu and Nagaji will be able to win the trust. Then, as I designed, they would provide the right intel three times in a row to help the tie take advantage of it, and only the last time, lead it to death. ”

Miyoshi Changyi explained that since Hirate Honhide is a "wise general", he must have a strong confidence in his own wisdom, so there is no need to directly expose Funakoshi Jingzhi, as long as he provides some information and let him reason out on his own. In this way, Hirate will revel in his own feeling of "eyes like a torch", and it is easy to believe what is next.

This is a special strategy to deal with "wise generals", and stupid people are not easy to be fooled.

"So in the end, it was Ling Lang and Ling Sun who were tasked with the deception?" Hearing this, Shinohara Nagafang's brows furrowed even tighter, and there was still not much trust on his face, "Lin'er in your family is naturally much more clever than people like Funakoshi Jingzhi, but if you can hide it from Tie Shuixiu, I'm afraid it may not be ......."

Miyoshi Changyi nodded lightly and shook his head, took a sip of tea, a complicated smile appeared on his face, and explained: "The way to make Neiying's behavior flawless is to make him himself not know that he is Neiying. So I didn't tell them to surrender, but to surrender. ”

"What?" Shinohara's Nagabo was furious when he heard this, but reacted after a moment.

In this bureau, Miyoshi Changyi actually counted his children and grandchildren.

Shinohara Nagabo couldn't help but say a useless nonsense: "Ling Lang and Ling Sun, I'm afraid it will be quite dangerous." ”

"As a samurai, do you still expect to live and work in peace? That's delusion. Miyoshi Changyi snorted, his words seemed very ruthless, but his hands couldn't help but grasp the rosary fiercely, and he used so much force that his muscles were rising. Shinohara's Nagabo sighed lightly, and no longer thought about this, but continued to get down to business: "Now that the situation has changed, what should I do?" ”

"The arrow is ready to be sent, and the arranged things can only continue to be done, but the credibility must be discounted."

"Tie Tunxiu, will you win the scheme?"

Hearing this, Miyoshi Changyi's weakness immediately disappeared for a moment just now, and was replaced by a resolute expression, and he said categorically: "I am not ten percent sure, but there are eighty percent." Tie Fan Xiu, this person, has always liked to be opportunistic, averse to frontal combat, and will never let go of the opportunity to avoid the important and light! ”

Shinohara's Nagabo was silent. He was still not at ease in his heart, but he just felt that the failure of the strategy didn't seem to cause much damage, it was nothing more than that Ataka Nobuyasu, who was already secretly collaborating with the enemy, became openly collaborating with the enemy, so let it go.

Even on the other hand, if the tie is clear, the lives of the children and grandchildren of Miyoshi Changyi will not be guaranteed, and the voice of this faction will be further reduced, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

As for what to do when the time comes, it's time to start thinking about this question.
