After receiving Iwanari Tomo's reply, Hirata Tsunohide sighed and gained a deeper understanding of the character of Shinohara.

clearly recognized the situation, but still refused to submit, and was really willing to bend rather than bend.

Although he is a capable official who has made great contributions, he has the talent of a prime minister, but he has no amount of prime minister, and his understanding of people's hearts is too insufficient.

He thinks he is loyal and courageous, and he does his best, but the way he does things is easy to cause controversy and cannot make people feel at ease. The upper can not be in the same boat with the relatives, and the lower can not make the countrymen and wealthy families support it, only relying on the implementation of strict laws and regulations to govern the territory, although it is to revitalize the discipline, the weather is new, but also buried many hidden dangers.

There is indeed a reason why different people have very different evaluations of him.

In the words of later generations, it can be described as follows: in Fuso in the sixteenth century, the power of the bureaucratic class was still very weak, and the military aristocracy was the decisive class, and there was no future in relying on the former to suppress the latter.

This is enough to be a warning.

Out of political considerations, Hirata Honhide openly branded Shinohara's Nagabo as the culprit of "confronting the shogunate and breaking the alliance", but secretly sighed to his retainers and said, "This person is really a loyal minister." ”

Under the operation of the business network, this politically incorrect private comment, which should never have been leaked, was known to the peddlers and pawns on the island of Shikoku within a few days.

Of course, this did not affect the expected diplomatic process.

After agreeing on the intentions, Nayoshi Choji of Katsurui Castle sent his half-brother Shinyuki Hosokawa and his brother Tokawa Shobo, who were the heads of the family, to sign the treaty, and sent his nephew and nephew as hostages to the garrison of the Heite Army to ask for a formal peace.

It didn't take much effort for the two sides to sign a draft contract with a total of seven clauses, the two core of which were the surrender of the Shinohara Nagabo clan and the cession of Kamisakura Castle in the eastern part of Shikoku Island, which were fulfilled on the same day.

However, many soldiers of the Heite family were still very dissatisfied with the whole process: "In the face of the Shosuke of the Criminal Department, who represented the imperial court and the shogunate, and the lord of the two kingdoms of Azan, Miyoshi Nagaji, he did not appear in person but only sent his subordinates to attend, and the hostages sent over were only nephews and nephews, not heirs of the parents, which is really too unknown to know the height of the sky!" ”

Iwanari Youtong immediately frowned and shook his head when he saw the candidate who came to negotiate peace, looking very disappointed, but he recovered in a moment, his face was as usual, and he didn't say anything. Even Nobuyasu Yasuta, who has always been an afterthought, found a problem under the eyes and attitudes of the people around him, and said to the left and right: "Awa Mamoru is a little inappropriate in this move, and he should pay more attention to today's meeting." ”

Heite Honshu himself did not show any dissatisfaction, but was quite polite to Hosokawa Shinyuki and Tokawa Depository, so that the two were a little flattered and at a loss.

"Miyoshi Awa Mamoru married the adopted daughter of Oda Danmasa two years ago, and he is also my niece and son-in-law...... Since you have drawn a clear line with the traitors, you will not be blamed for the previous grievances, and I hope that the two of you can do their best to assist and not cause the four countries to fall back into turmoil......"

Although the actual age is not very old, the identity of the flat hand is enough to put on the posture of an elder to speak. His accent is placed on "Dedicated Assistance".

According to the current understanding, Hosokawa Shinyuki is a treacherous and cunning, a villain who forgets his righteousness, and Shihe Depository is a brave and unreasonable martial artist, these two people are measured by the standard of the "second generation of martial arts", and they can be regarded as having some skills, but they each have great problems. As for Miyoshi Nagaji, it can be said that he has both of the above shortcomings, and he is completely useless, and the reason why he has not yet made public grievances is purely because Shinohara Nagafang has hollowed him out.

For a person who has a good birth, dullness is not an obstacle to survival, but being dull and arrogant is tantamount to self-destruction.

Instead of personally coming to express his sincerity to the tie, he sent a group of people to work on his behalf, which was the first mistake made by Miyoshi Nagaji after he took power. For the sake of a little illusory pomp, he offended the officers and soldiers of the Pingshou family, and wasted the opportunity to establish a sense of existence in front of the retainers.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Hinote Honhide decided to set up a posture of thunder and rain, and make a superficially lenient treatment of the forces on Shikoku Island.

Since the heir of the Miyoshi family is a person who can't see the situation clearly and has no self-knowledge, it is better to let him live happily for a few days, and after messing up everything, he will enter the game as a mediator, and then he will be more relaxed to deal with it, and that is a good time to cut off Shikoku Island.

The tie has already thought of a hundred ways to break down the few remaining cohesions of the Miyoshi family, and is only a little hesitant in the choice of priorities.

And so on, all kinds of undercurrents aside. What everyone can see is that on August 16, the day after the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, the wife and children of the Shinohara Nagabo clan and their territory Sakura Castle were handed over. Then both the Hirate family and the Miyoshi family issued orders allowing the retainers to return to their hometowns to participate in the autumn harvest.

Once again, the island of Shikoku is blessed with precious peace.

The landlords of the wealthy clan beside Miyoshi Nagaji immediately followed the order unceremoniously and took their respective Lang parties back to the fields, and within a day, there were less than a thousand people left in Shengrui City.

A large number of soldiers under the command of Hirate Honhide also left the team, led by Suginobo Terutsu of Neraiji Temple, Oda Nagayoshi who had just received the two Settsu Prefectures, and a large number of people from Kii.

People are indeed mainly peasants and soldiers, and spring plowing and autumn harvest cannot be delayed.

However, in their own banners, one family, and one dynasty, as well as in the two countries of Izumi Awaji, the affiliated wealthy clans who chose not to pay the "military service exemption tax" and took on the troops, they could continue to fight.

On the one hand, it is the reason for the implementation of a certain degree of "separation of soldiers and peasants."

On the other hand, the Tieshou Bunxiu had the prestige of winning many battles and had no chance of winning many battles, and was able to give generous financial compensation, and many local forces that did not have a standing army were also willing to bear a certain amount of land losses and continue to fight. In this regard, Miyoshi Changzhi can only envy and jealousy.

The team of 19,000 people, after this wave of evacuation, still has 8,000 remaining.

These include Shigehide Suzuki, who was verbally appointed as the commander of the four prefectures of Nishi-Sanuki, and Naoharu Yukawa, who temporarily served as the castle representative of Kamisakura Castle.

Both of them are very capable of fighting, and both have contributed or worked hard in the battle of Imakirikawa, and more importantly, they both have a deep hatred with the Miyoshi family that is difficult to resolve.

Yukawa Naoharu was very straightforward in his public plea: "When I am away from work, I hope that the Heise Punishment Department will send a commissioner to the south of Kii to check the land and prevent traitors from coveting the property of the despicable people." ”

It's so funny, and it's so shameless!

Hisho Tsunohide readily agreed, and secretly reserved a position for this person in his heart as the guardian of the half-country.

Shigehide Suzuki said something similar, but in a somewhat reluctant tone. His brother Shigekane Suzuki further added, "I believe that the colleagues of Saga will definitely not act as villains, and they will be able to get along with the commissioners sent by the Heiju Criminal Department." ”

This declaration reassured the other leaders of the Saga Party a little, but it also offended Tie Tsuki a little.

Tsuchihashi Morishige, who claimed to "only know the truth, not like the rhetoric of the Suzuki family", said very calmly that he would go home to take care of the farming, and retreated with all the soldiers. This person's words and deeds are indeed very similar to those of the local warriors in ancient times, who value fame, cherish their homeland, provide military service in the traditional way, and have no claims for power.

In particular, the reverence for the descendants of the Hatakeyama family, but the lack of reverence for the higher shogunate, is a value that is very characteristic of the "feudal era".

Two days later, the controversial Shinohara-nagabo and his eldest son, Nagashige, were allowed to cut their own stomach, and Iwanari Yudo and Ataka Nobuyasu were appointed as intermediaries, respectively. The widow was admitted to live in Izumi Kaizuka-ji Temple, and the second and third sons, under the intermediary of Honganji, nominally came out of the Shiheite family and temporarily arranged to go to Nishi-Sanuki, nominally as Suzuki Shigehide's son.

The Hirate family announced the results of a very dramatic investigation - according to the research and comparison of the Harutaya blacksmith and the champion of the "Imperial Trial" Tafu Keisumi, the iron cannons in Shinohara's private possession are likely to be the same as those held by Sugitani Zenjubo and others at the time of Nobunaga's assassination.

Needless to say, the rest will naturally play an association.

There is no way for a dead man to justify, so this black cauldron is thrown cleanly and very lightly.

The tie is not deliberately framing, it is purely just muddying the waters and clearing his suspicions.

According to the character of Shinohara Nagabo, if Izumishita had known, he would have accepted the charge of "participating in the murder of Oda Danmasa", and would not refute it.

So there's no need for any psychological pressure.

It was not only this one who was ruthlessly betrayed by the Miyoshi family.

The isolated An Yi Guohu also wrote a unique poem on the front and back feet, wielding a knife to cut himself. Leaving two young sons to become monks in Koyasan, 37 loyal ministers who did not want to turn to the government died, and the rest changed their courts, and the Yasui clan announced the severance of the family name, and the Tosa Eastern Territory was finally completely under the command of Himewakako.

Of course, whether this little help alone is enough to reward the head of Chozong's department for his merits in obtaining the Eastern Sanuki Acting Governor An Fu Shengding, it is up to everyone. Ji Ruozi herself does not show any ambition and complaints, but there are always talkative idlers who talk nonsense and undermine stability and unity.

However, it didn't take long for this controversy to dissolve, and Hirate Hanshu met with the meritorious retainers of the head of Chomune's family in public, and then ordered someone to take out a full 3,000 taels of gold, and explained: "Tosa has suffered from wars all these years, so let's use these assets to rebuild the work!" The specific distribution is to be decided by the Imperial Household Hall (the head of the Chozong Division). ”

Ten servants brought out five boxes, laid them on the ground and opened them together, and the inside was full of golden round cakes, which was really shocking.

On the spot, except for the Yuan Qin himself, the rest of the important ministers of the Changzong family couldn't hold it.

Xiangzong I Department pro-Tai, Kira pro-Sada, Kuwana Shige, Yoshida Sadashige, Furu pro-Masa, Jiuwu cronies, Gu Tadashine...... Some of them were dumbfounded and overwhelmed, some of them had red eyes and salivation, some of them were dizzy as if they were drunk, and some of them tried their best to pretend to be calm but couldn't help but glance into the box.

The military reserves of Okatoyo Castle never exceeded 2,000 pieces of silver, and in fact, all the samurai of Tosa did not eat or drink all year round, and they might not be able to make up 10,000 taels of gold.

Although every effort is being made to promote the rice-standard banknotes such as "ration stamps", the political occasion is indeed that precious metals are more impactful. Aren't they all games that can be listed in future generations, and the ability is not low? You don't need any trickery at all, you can be convinced by throwing money at it.

Here's a tie and I'm misremembering - half of these retainers of the Changzong Department in front of me didn't appear in the works of the dark shame of the past dynasties, and the ones who appeared in the game were their children and nephews, but the Miao characters were the same and the deeds were similar and easy to confuse.

In fact, in the barren and inaccessible Tosa country, apart from a few branches that the Hirate family deliberately opened, there were not many slightly larger merchants involved, and no amount of gold would be transferred sooner or later.

The only one who took this issue into account, the head of the Changzong Division, showed a trace of bitterness on his face, which was fleeting, and then he made a gesture of gratitude and sincere fear to accept the reward.

The henchmen are blinded, and you can't reason with them at this time.

At the same time, several letters were sent from Kinai. Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobutada congratulated Imakirikawa on his victory, but they also expressed some concerns.

It is said that several places such as Kaimachi, Minami-Omi, and Tsuruga are showing signs of getting out of control, which has aroused the concern of the big shots.

However, one of the motivations for Hite's visit to Shikoku at this time was to avoid the political whirlpool in Kinai, apparently not paying attention to these things, and refusing to do anything practical except to reply to some nonsense such as seeking common ground while reserving differences and helping each other.

I wasn't even ready to go back to at all.

When he led the remaining 8,000 troops to rest for a while, Hirata asked the head of the Nagamune and my department, "I heard that you confronted Shinohara Nagabo two months ago, and you were defeated by a surprise attack?" I don't know who is causing the trouble? ”

Yuan Qin told the truth: "It is an old native of the family, Zong Shan leading the troops." ”

Tieshou Tsuyo Xiu pretended to be puzzled: "A left major general (a left guard young jun who is also an official position)? Isn't it in internal and external difficulties and declining? How can there still be soldiers available? ”

Motojin replied, "Thanks to the support of his father-in-law, Otomo Kongo (the official position of Saemon Governor of Otomo Yoshizhen), he still has some territory at the junction of Tosa and Iyo. ”

Hearing this, Hisho Honhide was furious, and said: "Actually colluded with the rebel Otomo clan to sneak attack the military in response to the shogunate's orders!" It seems that it is necessary to go to Iyo to administer justice! ”

It is said that the Otomo family, the overlord of Kitakyushu, had a close relationship with the previous generation of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and got high-ranking officials in turn. However, after Ashikaga Yoshiaki ascended the throne, the Maori family was the first among the nations to support, and the Otomo, who was the old enemy of Maori, always had an ambiguous attitude, and with the status of Tie Toshihide's connections in the shogunate, it was not too much of a problem to say that he was a "rebel".

The decision to crusade against Iyo was announced in such a smooth way.

Many people with a heart suddenly realized - no wonder the follow-up treatment of the Imakiri River battle always has a feeling of unfinished business, it turns out that this is the case!
