The news of the Izumi riot made Ise's heart rise to his throat. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he was afraid that Hitaku Tohide would leave with his troops, so that Ashikaga Yoshiaki's mind that had finally settled down would inevitably be shaken again, and then this crusade would be over.

If the dignified shogunate could not even be taken by the two people, Ise Sadako, the new deacon of the government office who advocated the use of soldiers, would become a complete laughing stock and a scapegoat afterwards.

Fortunately, the draw didn't mean this at all, he just smiled and said "as expected".

There was an accident in his hometown, but he said "as expected" on the front line, if this matter was put on a person with no name, it would be regarded by Ise Sadako as a trick and a pretense. But is it an ordinary person to be a prisoner? Since the unparalleled wisdom general has said "as expected", he must have thought of a follow-up treatment method a long time ago, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Then Honhide and Ise Sadako met with Lord Gongkata, calmly made a statement in the military tent, and objectively analyzed the current situation.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki really showed a look of trust, nodded yes again and again, and finally took Honhide's arm, and said repeatedly: "Fortunately, there is a tie prison here today!" ”

The expression of his feelings was so obvious that even Hosokawa Fujitaka's face was a little unnatural, and a trace of jealousy flashed in Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes.

As the only generals in the shogunate, they seem to be less trusted than outsiders.

But it's no wonder that the general, after all, these two people have never had the feat of rejecting Imagawa in the east and seeking three good things in the west.

The feelings in Pingshou Honxiu's heart are also very complicated and uncomfortable. But on the surface, he could only bow down solemnly, and sincerely expressed his ambition to break his bones for the "righteousness of the world".

Then, the battle finally pulled out of the farce caused by the night raid and returned to its normal rhythm.

All the troops used the tactics of feints to break the door, but in fact shot the enemy soldiers, and attacked for five consecutive days, so that seventy percent of the defenders in the city were hung up.

On the sixth day, the figures of women, children, and children began to appear in the city. The city asked for surrender, and the original surrender of half of the land was refused.

On the eighth day, most of the people with bandages on their arms also stood on the front line to make up the number. The city asked for surrender again, willing to hand over most of the land, leaving only the ancestral property of the three villages, but it was still refused.

At noon on the ninth day, the defenders of the city could not resist after all, and they turned against each other, tying up the culprits and offering them outside the city to beg for forgiveness.

In the end, the disposition of the princess was: the two leaders were brought back to Kyoto and beheaded in front of Nijo Castle for public display; The other seven key elements were ordered to be seppuku and not to be punished publicly; The rest confiscated the land and were demoted to commoners, but were allowed to retain the Miao character and join the shogunate army as ashigaru.

This series of rulings was expected by the courtiers. It's just that before Ashikaga Yoshiaki made a decision, he specially asked Hirate Honhide's opinion, and Hirate Honhide pushed the boat down the river and suggested that Ise Sadako should speak.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the support of Hisho Honhide, the position of Ise Sadako, the "deacon of the political office", is sitting flat and stable, and it is difficult to shake.

Before parting, Ise Sadako cast a grateful look at Tsunohide, and at the same time made a gesture to indicate that the matter of "trying to meet in front of the Gozen" was wrapped up in him.

……

Three days ago, three days back, nine days of attack, four days of preparation. In a total of nineteen days, when Hirate Tsunohide led his troops back to Wada Castle on the shore of Izumi Province, it was already the end of October, and winter was about to begin. First, he paid 1,140 yuan in allowance to 1,500 banners, as promised, and then he summoned his retainers to pretend to inquire about the "riot."

Fan Xiu was still calm in the upper seat, but everyone on the left and right was sitting upright, solemn and unmoving.

Most of the retainers didn't know what Fan Xiu was thinking, so they didn't know how much scope this matter would be involved.

"Riot", if you want to talk about the negative impact of this kind of thing, whether it is big or small, whether it is small or small, depends on how you explain it.

If you look at it by the standards of the troubled times of the Warring States, the skirmish in which less than 100 people died is not big news at all.

However, since the arrival of the guardian of Izumi Daidai Heisate, various political and commercial measures have been taken continuously, which has greatly changed the atmosphere in the territory, and there seem to be signs of prosperity and rapid change. If you come out to make trouble at this time, will it make the equal-handed supervisor feel that someone is deliberately disagreeing?

In the center of the assessment room, the head of the newly established "Metropolitan Police Department" Haruyasu Haruya sat calmly and made a detailed report to Hisho Tsuno.

"Your Lordship. The riot took place in the late middle of the night on October 22 in a sake brewery next to Hine-jinja Shrine, and was believed to have sparked a quarrel between two groups of drinkers. Then both sides summoned nearby relatives and formed a confrontation. Because it was not far from the place of the incident, the shrine sent people to keep an eye on it. However, during the chaos, a drunk man recognized the wrong enemy and smashed down the torii gate of Hone Shrine, so the shrine was also involved. But the perpetrator of this smashing torii gate was the half-brother of the abbot of Kaizuka-ji Temple, so he was sheltered by Kaizuka-ji Temple...... It turned into a four-way scuffle, involving nearly 600 men, estimated to be about one-third armed with swords or spears, and about one-tenth wearing armor. In the end, four monks were killed and nine were wounded, seven priests were killed and ten were injured, and eighteen of the countrymen were killed and thirty-one were injured...... Twenty suspects have been arrested, six of whom can be confirmed to have been involved in the night's brawl and two of whom have been confirmed to be involved in the murder......"

"Hmmm......"

Pingshou made a look of listening carefully, nodded again and again, and occasionally asked a few words.

But in fact, he already knew about things.

Because of this so-called "riot", he originally privately instructed Hattori Hidean to secretly provoke it.

Of course, it is impossible for the ninja of the Tie family to personally attack people. They just need to make sure that two gangs that have always had grudges and are in a bad mood happen to meet; Then the news of the brawl happened to reach the ears of their respective relatives without obstacles; In the end, a grumpy and drunken gentleman happened to take the person sent out by the shrine to guard him as an opponent......

But on the other hand, Hattori Harayasu's results also made Hirate Hoshu feel impressed. In this era of lack of detective knowledge and technology, it is not easy to rely on chaotic oral narration to roughly ascertain the truth and grasp a small number of criminals.

Maybe the group of thieves who originally belonged to Ishikawa's party also played a role, but it can be regarded as Hattori's ability to unite this group of unruly guys.

It seems that the position of the head of the "Metropolitan Police Department" is not necessarily an idle position for him to retire!

Hisho pressed his thoughts, quietly listened to Hattori Haruan, praised a few words of praise at the expense of praise, and then went down to the retainers on both sides.

On the left-hand side are the newly appointed "Zaikan Members", and from top to bottom are Kawada Nagakin, Iwanari Tomotsu, Honda Masanobu, and Numata Yumitsu.

On the right side is the second most powerful "power in the museum", there are three people: Doctor Terada, Numama Renshi Entering the Dao, and Tamagoshi Thirty Lang.

Now is the time for this organization to exercise its power.

Although some of the above people don't even dare to gasp for breath in the palace, each of them has its own political significance, so Honhide decides to respect everyone's opinions—at least superficially.

In fact, Tieshou Tsusho has enough personal prestige to turn the appraisal meeting into a hall of words, but then the resentment that he does not dare to express will accumulate, and there is a danger of causing a catastrophe.

For hundreds of years, Fuso has been a pluralistic society that lacks unified values, and the political rules born in this society are also balanced and coordinated. Gaining an advantage must also be done in moderation, and you should not overdo the pursuit of winner-take-all, otherwise you will be happy and sad. Forcibly integrating the forces of one's subordinates through one's own hands can certainly improve efficiency, but it also makes the power structure fragile and sustains the safety of one person.

Especially in the current situation, which is sandwiched between Ashikaga and Oda, it is necessary to connect everyone around him, including Oda Yoriki, the people of Izumi, and even merchants and temples, in order to stabilize his position.

It was a tie that did not express his opinion first, but looked around and asked a question:

"Listening to the report just now, many of the hundreds of people in this brawl are strong men. However, before I went to Yamashiro Province, I was mobilized according to the military service assignment. Most of them went with me, and a few stayed in the city. Why are there so many people who have nothing to do? Aren't these people included in military service? ”

This question made the retainers feel a little sudden.

The question itself is not difficult to answer. The reason why these strong men were not included in the military service is because these people paid the "military service exemption tax".

The tax was set by the Tieshou Honxiu back then, originally to sympathize with those families who had too many casualties and not enough men. But in fact, many ill-intentioned people, in order to preserve their independence, claim that they cannot afford to serve in the military, preferring to pay money.

This is also because the trade and trade of Hequan Country are developed, and everyone is not short of money. People who have changed places such as Kai and Samona would rather give their lives than money.

It's just that who dares to say it openly in front of the equal? In front of so many people, how can you be embarrassed to tell the truth? I can only say some high-sounding clichés. For example, a momentary negligence, a drunken gaffe, or something.

But unexpectedly, it was Marsh Ren Shi who rushed to speak, and he suddenly bowed down to the upper seat, and shouted:

"The subordinates think that the responsibility should be thoroughly investigated and severely punished!"

Fan Xiu was surprised when he heard this.

The person who entered the world in the swamp has always been a "good man" and a "big brother in the rivers and lakes" in Hequan. Since the reign of Miyoshi, he has been particularly honest and soft-hearted. Many times, he took advantage of his good relationship with the upper echelons to help the convicted Chinese people get out.

It's really interesting that such a person shouted "severe punishment and no loan" at the beginning.
