Sugitani Zenjubo was eventually executed in Kyoto by Ling Chi for three days, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi did not return but remained in the imperial palace half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

The establishment of the Kaimachi Commissioner's Office, just like the historical government office, the investigation of the question, the bullet station, the inspection of non-violations, the question and note office and other power departments, ended up without a problem and existed in name only.

It only lasted three years, which is a short time in the history of Fuso. Generally speaking, it can take a decade or two to manage a new organization.

In mid-to-late November, the weather has turned noticeably colder.

Many older people lament that each winter has been colder than ever before, and this year is even more prominent. In this way, the Spring Festival is obviously more difficult to survive than the Xianglu and Tianwen years, and the cost of heating in places like Izumi, which does not produce wood, has risen year after year, and it is said that it is twice as much as ten years ago, and has become a major burden on people's livelihood, and the lower classes may not be able to afford it.

Awaji, Kii, and Shikoku are all overgrown with grass and trees, and the short-term problems are not too big.

Heide Honshu deliberately stayed in Kishiwada Castle and issued instructions to his merchants, asking them to stabilize the market price of firewood rather than causing panic and chaos among the people.

Of course, he himself will not be affected by any shortage.

This so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Venerable Hirate did not like the smell of charcoal fire, so he specially asked someone to set up a mezzanine in the wall of the room, and when the cold was unbearable, the stove was placed in the four corners of the mezzanine, and the whole room was heated.

Enough to sip water, taste jerky and preserved fruits, and enjoy the gentle service of the Xinna side room.

Originally, Hitetsu thought that Tsuda Munekazu's sister was a well-informed and habitual offender.

But when she actually took over the battle and had a discussion, she realized that she was only good at talking on paper, and she had never seen blood.

Fortunately, this-aged bride has a rare studious heart, sees the wisdom of the wise, tirelessly, under the guidance of the old driver, the posture level has grown, that is a thousand miles a day.

The lord's private affairs, except for the original match, others are not qualified to put beaks. Even in the face of Mrs. Masamu, as long as you sincerely tell her that this is a last resort to win over all forces, you will be forgiven. will even tell you to be generous, rain and dew evenly, and not to easily snub any girl.

The son-in-law said that Chiyomaru also came to Izumi from the main castle of Awaji Island Prefecture.

The matter of letting him learn the tea ceremony is not something that is said casually.

As the auction matured, Kishiwada Castle Town became a well-known gathering place for artists. In particular, Nekichi's "Kano School" in Kyoto was invited by Hirate Hohide to set up a magnificent painter's school here, where lectures were given by Motoshin and Eitoku, who were descendants of the clan.

Attracted the well-known painter of Hokuriku - Hasegawa and other berbers to study here, respectfully compared to him four years younger than Kano Eitoku to carry out the disciple ceremony, the service is very gentle.

There is no shortage of calligraphers, sculptors, tea men, and blacksmiths.

It is obviously very suitable for Chiyomaru to learn the tea ceremony here. The teacher invited was a disciple of Takeno Shaoou, a disciple of Qian Zongyi, named Hasegawa Soren.

The Zen master of the Rinzai sect of Myoshinji Temple, Toraya Soyi, asked to watch with great interest, and his classmates also included Tsuda Munekazu's son Yoshimatsu (also half a temporary hostage in hand), and the lineup can be described as luxurious.

Munehito Hasegawa was not only proficient in tea ceremony culture, but he was also a very powerful mining businessman, and before Nobunaga's assassination, when Niwa Nagahide occupied Tajima Province, Ikuno Ginzan was entrusted to him.

Unfortunately, the place is now in turmoil, and there is a fundamental conflict of interest between the Yamana clan and the agents supported by Mori, who are trying to recover, and they are at loggerheads with each other, and the mining of the mine cannot continue.

Hirate took the opportunity to hire him with a high salary to teach the tea ceremony.

It is said that Munehito Hasegawa originally had properties in Kyoto, Kaimachi, and Ishiyama, but they were all sold for cash and invested in the mining of Ikuno Ginzan, and now it has become an unrecoverable sunk cost.

Therefore, he accepted the invitation very decisively.

On the one hand, there is really no money, and on the other hand, the flat hand has verbally promised that if he obtains a territory with mines in the future, he will be given priority to let him be in charge of mining.

There were three other people who arrived at Wazumian Wada Castle with his front and back feet.

Kato Mitsuyasu readily accepted the offer of a thousand koku, and was very interested in offering to let his family live in the main castle of Awaji Prefecture, so Hirate Honhide gave him the position of "Bei Daisho" on the spot, that is, a flag officer who led three to four hundred elite soldiers.

However, there are no corresponding forces for him for the time being.

At present, the standing army of the Pingshou family has more than 300 personal guards, and the total number of five reserves is 1,800, and with the growth of income and the expansion of the battle front, the sixth and seventh reserve units are being prepared.

Masakishi Eguchi, an Omi ronin who briefly joined the Niwa family, seems to have remembered Niwa Nagahide's kindness, and although he was not recognized, he stayed in Owari and Mino with his old department for a few months, but he really couldn't find a place to go.

For only one hundred and fifty koku of land, he was able to obtain a new retainer and a group of veterans with good ability - the evaluation of "good ability" was obtained after a personal interview. This man's courage is only unsatisfactory, but his mind is clear, his mind is thorough, and his steady style is a good complement to the army.

Kato Mitsuyasu, Akao Kiyoshi, and Eguchi Masayoshi were all preset as officers of the sixth flag reserve, the former was tentatively designated as the general of the reserve, and the latter two were the heads of each leading 100 people.

It seems that Nobunaga has only lived in seclusion for half a year, and the atmosphere of the Oda family has changed a lot, and it seems that outsiders from humble backgrounds are now unable to gain a foothold.

Another Omi man, fourteen-year-old Shinzaburo Mizuguchi, who has now changed his name to Nagazuki Masaka, has had the most positive and enthusiastic response.

He was appointed as the lowest commissioner of thirty koku, but this salary was enough to feed the whole family, and since Ina Tadaji and Masuda Nagamori would take care of him, his promotion would certainly not be slow.

It is hard to imagine that the children of the regular martial arts family have been reduced to the point where they have no food to eat, and even their swords and armor are sold. Wherever you go to be a soldier, be a stick, or even simply fall into the grass, there is always a bite to eat.

In the world, everyone has their own aspirations.

Would you rather deign to work for a merchant or blacksmith than follow an evil path, should you be said to be timid or virtuous?

During this period of recruitment, Hirate Hoshu did not relax his eyes on Kyoto, but the useful information sent back became less and less.

It seems that the shogunate is functioning normally.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi joined unexpectedly and immediately devoted himself to his work, without causing any trouble, and Akechi Mitsuhide took on the responsibility of divination and calculation despite complaining, and Mibuchi Fujiei, who was ordered to become a monk, was visited by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and there were signs of reconciliation between the two parties.

Perhaps in order to mend the relationship, Ise Sadako, who refused to reveal the inside affairs of the shogunate a few days ago, sent a letter at the end of November, saying, "After the weather turned cold, Oda Dan was suddenly suffering from a serious illness and is now bedridden. ”

Probably, this is the reason why the vortex has stopped.

……

The third year of the Yuan Turtle is coming to an end in a blink of an eye.

After making a big news, Asai Nagamasa seems to have calmed down to sort out internal affairs, and it may also be that he is planning some new earth-shattering conspiracy with Kuroda Kanwei.

Oda Nobutada seemed to be trying his best to support the situation, but his methods were far from sophisticated, and the advice of the draw was ignored, and the two countries were afraid that they would be too busy to take care of themselves.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is complacent and very active in wanting to make some noise, but he is too optimistic about the situation, relying only on the power of the shogunate, at most he is a role that adds fuel to the fire, and he is unlikely to make big waves.

As for Nobuto, who has become a ruler, it is not surprising that this is the main messenger who is behind the scenes, and he will not be able to bear the loneliness and seek to return to power, but only if his body can survive the test of God.

It's a race against time.

Ashikaga and Asai were certainly not happy to see Nobunaga make a comeback, needless to say. Oda Nobutada, plus Shibata and Takigawa, who are becoming more and more semi-independent, may not be willing to return power honestly after being in power for a long time.

At least the tie is unwilling.

When Nobunaga was assassinated, everyone was in danger, and naturally they wished that his old man would be blessed and recover as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the people inside and outside. Even Ashikaga Yoshiaki was afraid that Oda would fall completely, and Asakura, Miyoshi, or some other careerist would make a comeback.

Now the situation is different, and the "vested interests" tend to maintain stability.

Thinking about it, the people who clearly hope that Nobunaga will rise again, except for the people who can't help it, are only victims like Akechi Mitsuhide.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but be very entangled in his heart, even though the beauty was in his arms, he couldn't solve it.

If the Demon King can really make a comeback, his current position will be unstable.

But it's impossible to make Oda Nobunaga do with that.

It's a trivial matter that can't be passed on the conscience - it's a big deal that the eyes are closed and the heart is sideways, and the dog eats it as a festival - once the slightest careless action is exposed, it may be regarded as a second Matsunaga show.

In fact, there are already some people in Kinai who think so.

…… Speaking of Matsunaga Hide, his decline began after the death of Miyoshi Nagakei, and the civil war could not defeat the three people.

In the final analysis, it is because there are no capable generals who only possess Yamato and half of the country.

In the face of the bright sword, no matter how good the friendship with the famous ministers, wealthy businessmen, eminent monks, and tea scholars is, it will not be able to play the role of turning defeat into victory after all.

The most important thing is to get the territory of Kii and Shikoku in our hands as soon as possible. With hundreds of thousands of stone of land and two or three battleable soldiers, no matter what other conspiracies Asai Nagamasa has, whether Oda Nobunaga died suddenly or reversed, and what whimsical ideas Ashikaga Yoshiaki had, the right to speak of the Hirate family can always be guaranteed.

At the same time, it is also important to have as many people as possible in Kyoto, which should not be neglected.
