The matter of Hite's voluntary resignation as the guardian of Izumi was not intended to be made public, but as the situation developed, the news slowly spread. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This personnel change caused an uproar.

Obviously, he won the battle and was promoted to the rank of knight, but he was forced to resign from his post (of course, outsiders would not think that this was a voluntary resignation), what is this?

The samurai of the middle and lower classes, with their shallow experience and a bit of imagination, came to a plausible conclusion: that the Hirate Shomono, nay, as he should now be called, was hated at the same time for his military victories, and thus became involved in the complicated relationship between Oda and Ashikaga, and thus won a vacant position, but was deprived of an important position.

The reason why he was sick for more than ten days in a row was because he was oppressed by all sides!

This logic sounds plausible and convincing.

Many people who have received favors or have interests are sympathetic to the plight of the new Zhongwu Shao Cheng Pingshou Tsuno.

I have to say that there is still a trace of the truth in their speculation.

It is precisely because Hite's strategy in Shikoku is going well that he has won the blue eyes of Ashikaga Yoshiaki even more, and the degree of wooing has also deepened. Therefore, with a word, Yoshiaki agreed to give the title of "Tosa Guardian" as a means of trading to subdue the relatives of the Nagamune and my department, and also made Honhide serve as the messenger to deliver the letter of appointment and ceremonial utensils, which was equivalent to giving him the opportunity to buy people's hearts and increase his prestige.

At that time, he was in Shikoku and also noticed that something was wrong, but he thought that Nobunaga's judgment was trustworthy and would not be shaken by it, and coupled with the busy military affairs, he didn't take it too seriously.

Unexpectedly, after the return trip, he encountered unexpected trouble. Nobunaga's judgment was not erroneous, and he did not doubt Hirate's loyalty; But Nobunaga's degree of radicalism was too astonishing, and he always bluntly disregarded Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face.

Under Nobunaga's instructions, Naomasa Waku, Akechi Mitsuhide and others acted very rudely and recklessly, which had greatly damaged the "precious friendship" between Oda and the shogunate. Nobunaga himself was also unscrupulous, and did a lot of things that made the "Gongfang-sama" dare not speak out. In the past, the tie was far away, and it was okay to be out of sight, but now that the matter has fallen on his head, he can't fool the past so simply.

However, dissuasion and conciliation are useless for people like Nobunaga. Only by presenting facts can he be impressed.

So Tieshou Tsunosu simply made a move to retreat and resign as the guardian of Izumi. In this way, on the one hand, it is to let Oda Nobunaga take a good look at the true position of the forces in Kinai; On the other hand, it is to show the value of one's existence.

The former is the main purpose, but the latter is also indispensable.

Sometimes, Honhide thinks that maybe the whole process of taking down Izumi, revitalizing commerce, and controlling the people and temples seems to be very easy, so that some people (such as Nobunaga) mistakenly think that this thing is very simple, and anyone can do it smoothly!

A few days after the resignation, the first purpose was still in sight, but the second purpose had already begun to bear fruit.

All walks of life in Hequan, including commercial houses, temples, and the people of Japan, have used their own networks to express their hope that the current guardians will stay.

The most positive of these is undoubtedly the merchants.

The system of "printing and signing the flower tax" created by Tieshou Honxiu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and even spread to the surrounding areas. For two percent of the money, the daimyo could be allowed to endorse the commercial contract and keep a backup in the office, which raised the sense of security in the hearts of the merchants by a lot.

But with such a simple system, not all daimyo can do it well. In the vicinity of Izumi, there are many forces imitating the amount of this tax, and most of them have various problems. Some people have wantonly increased the levy ratio, making it difficult for businesses to accept; Some of them signed and printed the words and did not admit the account afterwards, and even deliberately embezzled the property of the victim; The content of the signature printing of some designs is too simple and can be easily forged...... In short, all kinds of short-sighted and mismanagement behaviors emerge one after another.

After all, in this era, most samurai's understanding of commerce is still at the level of "zero-sum game", and they regard businessmen as fat sheep to be slaughtered. What if the middle of the tie is gone, and the person who changes it is this kind of goods?

Not to mention the "auction". The "Five Days" in Kishiwada Castle Town has become a well-known place for luxury goods trading. Hundreds of painters and craftsmen begged for a living there, and the artistic atmosphere was very strong. Wealthy people from Kaimachi, Kyoto, and Ishiyama also traveled there every once in a while to buy art to enrich the façade.

There are many examples of this event, but so far only Ichikuni Ichikuni has been particularly successful, and it is most popular among art creators and buyers. At this time, it is said that the guardian generation will be replaced, which can't help but worry.

Secondly, the temple is also very reluctant to tie the show.

Most of the famous temples in Fuso have the privilege of "not losing or entering", and their independence is very high. However, in recent years, the general direction has changed, and the vast majority of daimyo have adopted various means to control temples and shrines, depriving them of privileges, and there is no second lord like Hirate Honhide, who not only does not ruthlessly, but also takes the initiative to organize the joint autonomy of temples and shrines.

Although a few discerning people can see that this "joint autonomy of temples and societies" has not really brought any direct benefits to the monks and priests. Especially after the tie Tsunoxiu's friend Tiger Zai Soyi came in. But most religious people are not so smart, and it has always been the mainstream who has been bewitched by this "autonomous" name. The public would rather "choose freely" among wotou and pickles than be ordered to "eat this bowl of braised pork", especially in a place like Fuso, which has a tradition of decentralization and autonomy.

If the guardian is replaced, unless the new prefect is a very devout believer who eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, the status of the temple will definitely plummet, which makes several high-level abbots and palace priests in Hequan very worried.

In addition, the Chinese people, who have always been the most difficult to manage, are also satisfied with the status quo and are unwilling to change.

Here, we will talk about the "military service exemption tax" of Tie Tsuno. This system gives people who are unwilling or unable to fight a second option, so it is very popular.

In contrast, some lords, such as Shibata Katsuie, would squeeze the people to the extreme, demanding very high military service; Some lords, such as Sakuma Nobumori, would find various reasons to confiscate land and expel the small wealthy clan. At this point, Tie Tsutsu is much better than his colleagues.

Although the policy of "knife hunting" and "knife shape" is a bit depressing, it is always a boiled frog in warm water, and it has not made the wealthy feel particularly unacceptable from beginning to end.

Those who came out to express concern about the changes in the personnel of the guardian generation include painters with outstanding reputations, businessmen with a lot of wealth, and famous monks with profound Buddhist teachings, all of whom have a common characteristic of high influence but no real power.

In the end, the tie Honhide resolutely refused, Nobunaga did not say anything, and the shogunate half-pushed and half-agreed, and the matter was decided.

Then Ashikaga Yoshiaki really took the suggestion and invited the heroes to participate in the shogunate's tea party, and "by the way" studied and decided on the replacement of the Izumi guardian.

Oda Nobunaga would have been able to stop this. But he may have trusted the plan of the tie, or simply thought it was fun and put on a wait-and-see attitude.

Just after the end of the autumn harvest, being idle is also idle, and the position of the guardian of Izumi is really eye-catching. As a result, the "heroes" who could speak in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's mind gathered at the imperial palace and carried out "collective activities" for several days. Candidates include Yamato Matsunaga, Kawachi Miyoshi, Hatakeyama, Tanba Hatano, Akai, Settsu Ikeda, Wada, Itami and many more.

During this period, Oda Nobunaga, who was far away in Gifu Castle and lived in Mino because of the "long distance and heavy snow blocking the road", even had the leisure to write a private letter to Honhide, saying: "The 'heroes' that the shogunate can rely on, but in this case, they are all under the submission of their own family, how dare they stand up and stand up for others?" ”

Speaking of which,The Demon King's problem of liking to write private messages and chat doesn't know when it started.,Sometimes,When there is a discord between wives and concubines in the retainers.,Or children's education problems and the like.,Nobunaga will also send a letter to inquire about it.,Play the image of a "confidant uncle".,It's incomprehensible to Tsunohide.。

However, on the other hand, it seems that he hasn't received a similar private message in more than a year. This re-receipt shows that Nobunaga's friendliness towards him seems to have picked up after his recent actions. (Although there is a certain doubt about the vision)

Is this effect a crooked hit?

After thinking for a moment, Hirate Hinohide immediately replied to the letter, his tone was respectful, but his attitude was very firm, predicting that the outcome of the discussion among the group would definitely be in favor of the shogunate and not in favor of the Oda family.

In fact, this reply has only been sent for two or three days, and before it has been delivered, the result has already been reached in Kyoto.

After a "unanimous decision", Sadaharu Iio, Masakai Mimaki and Nomura Jotsune, three samurai who were slightly famous, were selected as candidates for the guardian of Izumi. Ashikaga Yoshiaki humbly stated that the final outcome was up to Oda Nobunaga. But these two people are actually sworn friends of the Ashikaga family, and whoever they elect is the same.

In fact, Yoshiaki had long wanted to appoint his cronies to various places, but at that time, Izumi was still surrounded by enemies in the frontline area. Yoshiaki lacked confidence in his cronies and didn't think they could stand, so he retreated to the next best thing, and let Oda's family, who seemed to be friendly and had the possibility of wooing Hitomi Hinohide, take up the post.

After such an appointment, there is no major reason, and it is definitely impossible to replace people. But who would have expected that Pingshou Tsusui would be so cooperative, and after calming down Izumi, he took the initiative to resign.

It's not that Ashikaga Yoshiaki can't see that there is something strange in it, but his thinking is still limited by the times after all, and he can't refuse this temptation because he regards the guardian duties of the various countries in Kinai as extremely important.

In fact, although it was claimed to be "judged by everyone", in fact, after the shogunate casually mentioned a few names, the so-called "Heroes" immediately expressed their approval and did not raise objections. This made Yoshiaki's eyes light up, and he thought he had found a new way to fight Oda.

On the other hand, Nobunaga can be said to have been broken by the knot.

He has publicly expressed his strong interest in Kaimachi on several occasions, but the forces of have turned a blind eye to this and have only agreed with Ashikaga Yoshiaki's views.

This shows that those people did not feel that they were subordinate to Oda, and that they still identified with the Ashikaga shogunate in their hearts.

This realization is taken for granted in the eyes of the drawer. But Nobunaga somehow has a kind of blind self-confidence, feeling that he is a dragon arrogant who responds to all calls, and has also infected the retainers of the Oda family.

Now, it is worth it to pay a small price in exchange for Oda Nobunaga to come to his senses.

And the control of Izumi Province was obviously not so easy to be taken back by the shogunate.
