Ashikaga Yoshito has been in a particularly good mood recently, this is a day he has never been happy since he was a child, even if he never dreamed that Kira Yoshitoki could be so powerful, no matter by land or water, he completely defeated the Miyoshi family, as if he was the savior given to the shogunate, breaking the undefeated record of Miyoshi Nagakei, and also breaking the curse that the shogunate had to retreat every time it encountered a power.

The shadow of the Miyoshi family in Gyeonggi also dissipated, and usually people who are in a good mood become reasonable, and the same is true of Ashikaga Yoshito, who held a small waka meeting at Jishoji Temple these days, and the monks of the Gozan faction, Daitokuji Temple, and Myoshinji Temple in Beijing rushed to participate in this waka meeting, and at the same time, there were also Konoe Harushiro, Hirohashi Kunimitsu, Asukai Masakyo and other ministers personally participated.

It is said that the Jishoji Temple was lit up until daylight for several days, and the courtiers of the shogunate did not advise him to be diligent and thrifty for the first time.

After a few days of excitement, Ashikaga Yoshito soon accepted Kira Yoshitoki's advice and began to prepare for the negotiation of peace with Miyoshi Chokei.

"Winning a few games in a row has greatly increased his confidence, and he finally has the confidence to sit down and bargain with Miyoshi Changqing, it is really not easy for His Royal Highness to be fooled! It's not easy for me to be a class! Kira Yoshitoki smiled bitterly and was surrounded by a group of retainers who couldn't be named.

It was the third day of the end of the Kamogawa Water War, and Kira Yoshitoki was dragged by Ashikaga Yoshito to attend various events in Kyoto these days, whether it was a song party, a tea party, or a rafting party, in addition to these informal occasions, there was also an audience with the emperor in court clothes, and he would immediately become the protagonist of the event wherever he went.

In addition to the emperor's faint praise at the court meeting, those high-ranking ministers and low-level officials are like tabloid gossip reporters, eager to turn the history of his Kira family upside down, he has to keep smiling at all times, and then smile, after laughing for three days, his cheeks are stiff, and he can only whisper a few words when no one is around: "When will this kind of day be the end!" ”

Fortunately, the shogunate's response was swift, and Ashikaga Yoshito sent a veteran diplomat, Harumitsu Odate, as an envoy to Akutagawa Yamajo to discuss the issue of peace between the two sides without a fight, and of course, to discuss the redemption of prisoners after the war, which was a very important matter and the main means for the victors of the war to obtain benefits.

If it weren't for the fact that he could make money by winning the war and captives, Kira Yoshishi would not be so desperate, and he would have to defeat them and escape, at least he could have killed a lot of people, and at the same time, this was also the strategy that Yamamoto Shixing had set with him at the beginning, that is, the so-called strategy of promoting talks by fighting, and the desperate fight was naturally for peace talks, and it was impossible to fight endlessly, and there must be a time to stop, so Odate Harumitsu was burdened with the important strategy of the shogunate, and how much benefit he could earn back depended on his mouth.

In Akutagawa Mountain Castle, Miyoshi Chokei sat on the main seat, on both sides of the Miyoshi family, there was a quasi-one family from Shikoku Honku, and then the Miyoshi family's direct family faction was headed by Matsunaga Shu and the Matsunaga Nagayori brothers, and finally the people from Settsu, Izumi and other countries, their status was not very high, including the surrender faction Itami Jinxing.

The two rows of retainers scattered back add up to fifty or sixty people, these people are all people who can talk to the Miyoshi family, each of them has a territory to fight for the Miyoshi family's expedition, Miyoshi Changqing seems to be the leader or alliance leader of this group, for everyone to earn benefits and increase the prestige of the Miyoshi family, Odate Harumitsu already knew about the situation in the Miyoshi family before leaving, and he was not surprised at all.

The head of the main seat sits Miyoshi Yasucho, because when Miyoshi Yoshiken and Antaku Dongkang were not there, Miyoshi Yasucho was the highest status in the family, and at the same time he served as the head of the Miyoshi family, and Matsuyama Shinsuke, who had been kneeling not far behind Miyoshi Changqing, was the leader of the Miyoshi Changqing Ma Hui people, and his father Matsuyama Yasuru Matsuyama was the most trusted general of Miyoshi Changqing, and served as the banner head of the Qiyuan people.

"His Royal Highness Odate Saemonsa is well! After years of not seeing His Royal Highness Saemon, his demeanor is still the same, and I am really happy to see me again! "Miyoshi Changqing is a good-looking person, and his own character is also very elegant, not at all ruthless and spicy, to be more like a cultural person, laughing very kindly, like Sinology, waka, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, but also have an extraordinary understanding of Buddhism, in short, he is a typical cultural person influenced by Kyoto culture.

"Yes! It's been a few years since we've seen each other! "Odate Harumitsu has already passed fifty years old, compared to less than thirty years of Miyoshi Chokei, the two have intersected as early as the eighth year of Astronomy, and his father Odate Nashin once in Miyoshi Chokei and Miyoshi Governor, on behalf of the Shogunate Hanoi Seventeen Shogunate Shogunate Hanoi Seventeen Shogunate Shogunate Ownership Issues, on behalf of the shogunate side to help Miyoshi Chokei, and then Odate Harumitsu on behalf of the shogunate side to contact Miyoshi Chokei, and assisted him in the first time in the eighth year of Astronomy.

Both of them are very elegant people, so they are not in a hurry to talk about the old days, and they don't look like they are impatient, and they don't stop until they talk for half an hour, Miyoshi Changqing is calculating the chips of Odate Harumi, Odate Harumi is also secretly observing the actions of Miyoshi retainers, he has noticed the slightly impatient expressions of some people, and secretly said: "It should start!" ”

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Miyoshi Nagakei gradually led the topic to the recent changes in Kyoto, and Odate Harumitsu, who was the envoy, also took the opportunity to lead him around to the topic, and when he heard that the shogunate intended to let the Miyoshi family redeem the defeated Shikoku, Miyoshi Nagakei's face changed.

Human hunting has always been an unspoken rule in troubled times, defeated captives are captured as slave trade, but as a samurai, there is naturally a code of conduct, usually only for the defeated soldiers to hunt without harming their wives and children, and the price is usually very low, generally a person can be redeemed for a few tens of dollars, and some defeated soldiers can allow the original family he designated to redeem, only a few people will break this unspoken rule.

For example, two years ago, in the Oda Ihara Battle of Oda in the 16th year of Astronomical, Takeda Harunobu broke the Ueno Kuniren who broke the constitutionalism of Uesugi and attacked Kasawara Kiyoshige of Shiga Castle, and all men and women and children of Shiga Castle were sold as slaves, and both men, women and children were sold at a high price of up to ten kanmon, and such a high price also eliminated the possibility of redemption by their relatives, and those poor people who could not be sold could only be sent to Jinshan as mining slaves.

Miyoshi Nagakei naturally knew a lot about this matter, so when he heard that the shogunate intended to let him ransom the people of Shikoku, he immediately realized that someone in the shogunate had a bad idea, and his intention was nothing more than to blackmail him from the Miyoshi family a sum of money, otherwise why would the shogunate envoys be so anxious to throw out the issue of ransom the prisoners.

Gazing at Odate Qingguang with a gloomy face, this loyal elder is also a person who has gone through strong winds and waves, when Gang Yuanfu saw the powerful Ouchi Yoshiko in Kyoto, compared to the self-respecting momentum of the lord of the Ouchi family, Miyoshi Changqing is still slightly lacking, a cold gaze meets a gentle gaze, after the two sides look at each other for a long time, Miyoshi Changqing shook his head and said: "Say, how much does the shogunate offer." ”

"The people of the four countries have two kanbun, each of the samurai has ten kanwen, and the high-ranking samurai are ten to fifty times the other, and there are more than 3,000 people in the Shikoku people, a total of 23,000 kanbun." Odate Harumitsu said calmly.

"Shhh The important ministers of the Miyoshi family all gasped, and Izawa Yamato Mamoru said angrily: "This is blackmail! This is an act of undignified samurai! How could the shogunate commit such an act of dishonor? Could it be that His Royal Highness also got into the copper plate? ”
