On March 16, 1571, the 4th year of Motokame (1571), Hirate Hoshu assumed the posture of the master and invited various forces to gather at Katsurui Castle to discuss the future pattern of Shikoku affairs.

The Imperial Court, the shogunate, monks, priests, wealthy merchants, and cultural people in Kyoto all felt that the Hirate family had suppressed Awa's "legal difficulties" so cleanly and without asking for anything in return afterwards, and that they were really a model of samurai, and there was nothing to blame.

Of course, it is inevitable that there will be some people who do not know the truth or have bad intentions to raise questions, but they are just individual opinions that do not affect the mainstream view, and do not deserve too much attention.

There are a very small number of people with evil intentions who claim that all the turmoil on Shikoku Island was secretly started by the Hinodes, and that under the high-sounding banner, they were actually for their own selfishness.

Regarding this heartbroken and slanderous statement, Pingshou Fan Xiu sneered disdainfully: "I heard that every time some people insult a contemptible person, they can get five Yongle money, and they may rely on this to support their families!" We should be more understanding, we must not cut off other people's way of making a living. ”

The witty words caused the listeners to laugh heartily.

As a result, the saying of the "five-text group" spread far and wide.

At the same time as Tiger Zai Zongyi returned, he also happened to send people out.

Theoretically, the planned "Kii Prefecture" plan was mainly carried out by Nakamura Kazushi who was sitting in Sengokubori Castle, while the specific government affairs were carried out by Jiyin and Hidenaga Kinoshita.

Sengokubori Castle is located at the junction of Kii and Izumi, strictly speaking, it belongs to Izumi, and it was originally a hilly area, but four years ago, Hirate Honhide ordered Sasa Naimasa to build a castle here in order to prevent hidden dangers in the south.

The Nakamura Ichiclan, who guarded Kii, could only garrison troops here, which shows how weak his position is. And this is the key link that needs to be focused on at the moment.

The two of them, Ji Yin and Hidecho Kinoshita, will work in Kii for about one to two years as inspectors, and will be transferred back to the center after the detailed accounts are thoroughly verified.

Kinoshita Hidecho took the initiative to replace Masuda Nagamori. After witnessing that his brother lost his position as Kaimachi and was forced to start a new career in Kyoto, he seemed to gradually feel a sense of crisis, and he was rarely able to actively take on a job.

Fan Xiu was happy to fulfill this and agreed to his request.

The temples and shrines all greeted each other and expressed their support for the land inspection of the Hirate family.

In fact, it is not possible not to support it, although the tie is not good, although the tie is not good, but the monks have to take the initiative to take it.

According to the previous communication, in order to consolidate the fruits of victory, Shingon Buddhism would send 44 monks to live on the island of Shikoku, and Shingon Buddhism also planned to organize 27 officials to preach.

Correspondingly, they transferred a large number of high-quality "middle-level cadres" from Kii, and their foundation was greatly shaken.

You have to count Shigehide Suzuki and Naoharu Yukawa, who went to Awa and Sanuki last year. The former was an important follower of the Wasche sect, while the latter maintained close ties with both sects.

It's a strategic shift.

The monks were reluctant to do such troublesome things. However, a month ago, the situation was tense, and there were people who were expecting the Pingshou family to come out and take the lead to calm the "legal difficulties", so they had to agree to some unfavorable conditions.

At this point, it is better to transfer than to fall, and it is useless to worry about it, in case a new contradiction arises and is used by other sects, it is beyond regret.

After all, the monks reluctantly fulfilled their agreement.

Most of the people of Kii are scattered, and in the past, they relied on religious beliefs as a bond to hold together, but now without this bond, it is difficult to have the ability to resist.

At the same time, Tie Tsushu also asked Iwanari Tomotsu and Ataka Nobuyasu to actively communicate with the Miyoshi retainers to convey their goodwill, and by the way, to spy on the thoughts of the local wealthy landlords.

Through these two people, they implicitly expressed the attitude that "they will not execute or imprison Miyoshi Nagaharu for a long time, and they have no intention of directly occupying Awa and Sanuki", leaving the other party with a loose room for maneuver.

As for who the Tie Family wants, this cannot be easily revealed.

In all respects, most of the people who finally came out to represent the Miyoshi Yu Party were one of the Miyoshi Kangchang and Shihe Depository. But you might as well let others have some whimsical space.

Especially those who defect, half-hearted, or secretly colluded, all need to be vigorously supported. For example, instigating the rebellion of the Honmaru garrison of Katsurui Castle and tying up Miyoshi Nagaji, who came out to ask for surrender.

Correspondingly, the original cronies and backbones should be cleaned away as residual poison - there is no need to have a sense of guilt for harming Zhongliang to do this, because the people promoted by Miyoshi Changzhi are basically flattering sycophants who play eagle hunting with him.

After the relationship between the parties is settled, the meeting of Shengrui City will officially begin.

This is also the unspoken rule that the samurai of this era knew well, and the real decisive exchange of interests was reached privately in advance, and the public meeting was just to discuss some follow-up details, plus to announce them to everyone.

…………

After arranging the important matters of the Kii Prefecture, Hirate Honhide himself got up from the Komatsushima area in southern Awa on March 21 and slowly traveled to Katsurui Castle.

At this time, several other forces had already gathered in advance to quarrel for two or three days, and they did not have such a calm and unhurried spare.

In charge of the reception before the meeting is President Konishi, who is the best at creating something out of nothing, even if he is completely chasing after the wind and shadows, and even if there is nothing in the wind and shadows, he can say a long story without shame, bluffing the audience into believing it.

This time, Governor Konishi was authorized to create contradictions between the Shingon sect, the Ichijo sect, the Miyoshi sect, and the local people.

There are no clear instructions, just give full room to play, just let the atmosphere be tense and wait for the arbitrator and mediator to come and make a decision.

As a result, when the tie came suddenly, he saw from a distance that the representatives of all the forces had gone out of the city for hundreds of steps, standing on both sides to greet him, and the etiquette was doubled.

Hosokawa Shinyuki, Tokawa Depository, and Miyoshi Yasunaga are on the left, and there are powerful retainers such as Akasawa Muneden and Kasai Motozai below; Shimoma Yoriren and Suginobo are counted as two monks on the right, and Shigehide Suzuki and Naoharu Yukawa stand tall. These stakeholders are anxiously waiting for the verdict to be announced.

A little farther away, there is a handsome young man who has seen once, called Nakajima Konosuke, who is representing the head of the Changzong and my department to brush up on the sense of existence; Minami Iyo's Doi Katsuyuki (the eldest son of Doi Soyama) seems to have a good relationship with Kawada's long kin, and he also joined in the excitement; Naoyuki Ohno, the younger brother of the Kono family, is said to have been recommended by Mao Sui to serve as an envoy; And the Kaneko Motoya of Kita-Iyo, I don't know who called me to attend.

Governor Konishi was the first to greet him, bending down to help Hirate take the reins of his horse, while whispering some observations of the last few days without a trace.

For example, the great differences between the Miyoshi family, the genealogy, and the outer samples, the delicate relationship between the Shingon sect and the Ichijo sect, the development of the situation in the Nishitosa and Minami Iyo areas, the latest changes within the Kono family, and so on.

In fact, most of these words are not in a hurry, but only by doing so can you highlight your achievements to the greatest extent.

Pingshou listened to it, did not say a word, smiled and greeted him very calmly, and came to the city generously, enjoying the gaze of everyone, disguised as respectful fear, flattery, and even hatred.

"It's really sad that Apo is difficult. I hope that you will remember this painful lesson. ”

"yes......"

"That's right......"

"It's all up to the ...... of the Criminal Department"

After taking such an official article as the opening remark, he got a cautious and insincere echo, and then tied to the point, and said loudly:

"There are two things to consider now...... First, the unjustified calamities that have befallen Buddhist temples must be stopped. Second, Awamori (Miyoshi Choji) behaves abnormally, and I am afraid that he is not suitable to serve as the lord of Awa Province. Do you have anything to say about these two points? ”

The tie made a gesture of following the advice and accepting all rivers, trying to get a response.

The two monks glanced at each other, and said in unison: "It is only appropriate for this matter to be decided by the Lord of the Criminal Department, and I don't dare to put my beak in a hurry." ”

There is a sense of jealousy in the words that dare not be expressed.

They all seem to be a little scared.

There was something strange in the heart of the flat - shouldn't the monks have a bottom in their hearts? Pretending not to hear the sound outside the strings, he asked sideways: "What about the opinion of the three good families?" ”

"Contemptible...... This guardianship...... The old ones are always good, and the higher ones are the other...... It needs to be disposed of properly! ”

"Since it was the Miyoshi family who made a mistake, it should compensate for the loss of the temple. But the savings of the past have long been squandered by Miyoshi Changyi and Shinohara Nagafang, and we are powerless, so the Lord of the Criminal Department has decided! ”

Hosokawa Shinyuki and Tokawa Depository, a pair of half-brothers who are more than ten years apart, looked like they had their own thoughts before entering. But when it came to talking, the older one was too excited, almost incoherent, and the younger one was obviously angry and incomprehensible.

Guess that one person is nervous about his future, and the other is worried about the fate of his family.

Miyoshi Kangchang, who belongs to the Yuanzhi Shu clan in his blood, is a little stronger, but he really has nothing to say except for a helpless wry smile, he just tries his best to show a soft and rigid attitude, saying clichés such as "I believe you will be able to make the best decision, but most of the local people are vulgar and irritable, and I hope to be considerate".

The people who eat melons only know how to wait and see, and they will not come out to speak.

Today's atmosphere seems to be different from what was expected.

The atmosphere in the venue was not as imagined, with all parties fighting each other for their own interests, attacking each other, and everyone fighting to the point of anger and unscrupulous speech.

But it is the rhythm of thousands of horses, as silent as cicadas.

Could it be that in their eyes, the Tie House is a very terrible force?

Where does this begin?

Maybe it's the one who, the is so powerful, scares people?

Thinking like this, I searched in the crowd for a while, and saw the corners of Konishi's mouth smiling, his eyebrows dancing, and his eyes were quite proud and complacent.

Tieshou Fan Xiu suddenly felt a little headache.

This kid really can't let it go too far, although this time it actually didn't cause any damage.

Seeing that everyone didn't dare to speak, Pingshou Fanxiu could only clear his throat and make a summary statement in advance: "Since you are so humble, then I, as a guest, will be more than I can do!" For the grievances suffered by the Shingon sect and the Iljan sect, I will compensate them by dividing them into specific areas of monasteries and missionary areas. Everyone has the right not to lose or enter within the scope, but they are not allowed to preach beyond the scope without permission. And the question of Awa's guardianship...... I think it would be most appropriate to hand it over to Hosokawaden, and the role of assistant should be entrusted to Mihoshikawa and Tokawa Hayato. ”

After speaking in one breath, he looked around and smiled friendly, waiting for the listener's opinion.

However, he only saw that everyone on both sides breathed a sigh of relief, all with happy expressions.
