Not to mention what kind of huge threat it would pose to the Kira family's territory in the three counties of Omi once the three sides attacked, Kira Yoshitoki frowned and kept knocking on the case, and couldn't help but think a little anxiously in his heart: "What the hell is going on?" Why did this rabble suddenly unite to show the rest of the horse? It stands to reason that they should be afraid that I will go to the Ashikaga family, why do they suddenly want to make a moth of the Triple Alliance? What's going on with this Asai Nagamasa? Not the length of Oda Nobunaga? Changed to a long time of three good Changqing? ”

Kira Yoshitoki felt that all this had become very ridiculous, obviously it shouldn't be like this, how could the scene become so unbelievable, Miyoshi Changqing, a solo eater who had never thought of forming an alliance, suddenly jumped out to make a Jinjiang-Vietnam Triple Alliance, and it was just at this juncture that he had to suspect the motive.

“…… Wait a minute! Something seems to be wrong! Asakura Yoshikyo also said earlier that he wanted to oppose Yu, so he suddenly made a Jinjiang-Yue Triple Alliance, wouldn't it be an opportunity to deal with my Kira family? If you think about it, it seems that this is really the case, and these three families don't seem to be very close to my Ashikaga family! ”

Kira Yoshitoki's eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, and only a little cold light kept flickering: "Miyoshi Changqing is so bold!" Do you think that this small Triple Alliance will be able to take the rest of the Kinai territory? Believe it or not, Yu Duo will give Hatakeyama a high political envoy strength, so that your Izumi country will be replaced! ”

Matsui said worriedly: "Your Majesty thinks that Kinai needs to train more new troops, and the instability of the Asakura clan will directly affect the entry and exit of goods in Wakasa Bay and Tsuruga Port, and once the Asakura family affects our trade routes, we must give up the best trading port." Detour to Tango Kokumaizuru Port for landing. virtually increases the cost to the second. The result of the detour from Maizuru Port will be from the northwest of Kyoto, which will be a great blow to Sakamoto's industrial development! ”

"There's no need to worry too much." Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled slightly: "According to the information of An Yun Shoudian, we know that the Echizen country stone height in the hands of the Asakura family is about 460,000 stones, because the control of the northern counties completely fell into the hands of Echizen Ichikozong and was not calculated, and there are many shogunate ministers and the estates of the ministers of the court and the temple properties of the five mountains and five temples in the territory, these resources are not dared to move by the Asakura family, and in fact, the stone height under the control of the Asakura family will not exceed 350,000 stones. ”

Nanaoka nodded and said, "The palace of the military department is right, the title of the famous family of the Asakura family was given by the shogunate. This clan has always boasted of being famous, and by virtue of its geographical location close to Kyoto, it often invites His Royal Highness and the Secretary of State of the Imperial Court to go down, and there is no shortage of ministers from Kyoto all year round among the guests of Ichijo Valley Castle, and Asakura Yoshikei is also very famous for his love of Kyoto culture, and it is said that he has shaved his eyebrows and painted black teeth to dress up as a minister in the early years. ”

There is no samurai in the Kamikawa Ashikaga family who shaves his eyebrows and paints black teeth, even the official family of Nanoka Shobo does not have this hobby, and the governor of Kira Yoshitoki only wears a hunting shirt with a black hat, and never smears messy powder on his face, let alone advocates shaving his eyebrows and painting black teeth, he advocates learning the excellent side of Kyoto culture and rejecting the corrupt and deformed side, such as shaving his eyebrows and black teeth and twisting his tone with a twisted tone. For example, the love of male style, and the day and night, all night carnival, etc., are all excluded.

Honda was rather dismissive of the strength of the Asakura family, saying, "The economic lifeblood of the Asakura family depends on the maritime trade between the port of Tsuruga and the three countries. And my Kira family is precisely the sea overlord of Hokuriku, the development of the Kira Navy has been very rapid in recent years, and the long coastline from Dewa Sakata Port to Kaga Motoyoshiminato has fallen into our hands, and the Notoyama family has also asked to come to our door to discuss cooperation, what will the Asakura family use against us? Just rely on the Tsuruga Navy of dozens of old ships? ”

Naoe Mitsuna also felt that Matsui Yukan was a little worried, so he echoed: "The wealth of the Asakura family depends on maritime trade, and the status of Tsuruga Port as a transit port for northern trade is unshakable, and it is unavoidable as a stop in Sakamoto, and the Asakura family can easily support the luxurious life of 20,000 troops and the valley just by using the trade taxes of the channel, I believe that the Asakura Kingo Palace, as the governor of the family, will not be unable to understand this truth!" ”

Matsui Yukan still shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is worried that it is not that the Asakura family will block the trade route, but that the Asakura family will take the opportunity to pay too high taxes, and even cooperate with the Asai family to set up a customs office on the passage to Sakamoto to obstruct it in every possible way, and then vigorously advocate the port on the east side of Lake Biwa, even if the merchant travelers will eventually come to Sakamoto or Otsu to land, but the merchants have experienced several exploits and their profits have become very meager, and in the end they can only save their capital by raising prices, which is very unfavorable to us!" ”

Nangang's brows furrowed deeply, and he said after a while: "This is a worrying question, assuming that the first enemy to be dealt with by the Tsu-E-Etsu Triple Alliance is not my Sakamoto's Kami-Ashikaga family, but the Rokkaku Kyozhao Hall in Minami-Omi Kannonji Temple Castle, then it will be very bad!" With the situation of the Hexagonal family, it is difficult to say whether it can withstand the joint attack of these three families, once the Hexagonal family loses its territory and escapes in defeat, it loses its full territory.

Then half of Omi will fall into the hands of Miyoshi Nagakei and Asai Nagamasa, once this pair of Weng sons-in-law converge, it will not only pose a threat to the economic system of Lake Biwa and Yodo River built by my Ashikaga family, but also directly threaten the safety of the three Omi counties militarily, once the three counties are in crisis, the trade system of my Kira family will face the danger of collapse, presumably Miyoshi Nagakei originally envisioned this, so this plan is even more unavoidable! ”

The so-called hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and there is only one eternal theme of war from ancient times to the present, that is, it is rooted in the core interests, whether it is land occupation and colonization, economic plundering and dumping, or trade monopoly, all revolve around the word interests, perhaps some wars are out of strategic considerations, or for the sake of transferring internal contradictions, but the fundamental reason for these reasons is interests.

Just as there are only two factors at play in economic growth, one is open source and the other is throttling, throttling is to fight corruption, advocate thrift and resist luxury, and open source is to find a new economic growth point, which can be to create inventions in a peaceful way, or to wage war in a more extreme way.

The core interests of the Kira family are twofold. The first is a vast territory that spreads throughout the Hokuriku Kanto Shinano Dewa countries. In this day and age, there is nothing like land that holds its value better. On the other hand, there is no other business in the world that is more lucrative than monopoly, and the Kira family has a monopoly on horse trafficking throughout the Eastern Kingdom, a monopoly on maritime trade in most of the North Japan Sea, and a monopoly on the Yodo River, the main transportation route in the heart of Gyeonggi, as well as the right to transport water to the entire Lake Biwa.

In addition, there is the money house created by Yoshitoki Kira, which can monopolize the distribution rights of eiraku money throughout Japan, and thousands of eiraku coins are made from Niigata Town every day. The rapid growth of this item alone can bring the Kira family more than two million kanbun in seigniorage in a year, which is the hen that lays golden eggs on the cash cow, and the profits that can be obtained by guarding these monopoly industries are endless.

The Kira family relies on a strong economic strength to maintain the high welfare of the family, and establish a strong army that is different from other samurai, and the return gift bonus issued by the Kira family to the ministers at this year's Zhengdan Dynasty is as high as 50,000 yuan, even a small wealthy family can get a reward comparable to a few months' income, and all the martial artists in the dojo will not be short of whom's share.

The reason given by Kira Yoshitoki is very simple, the land expansion of the victory of the war needs to let everyone share the dividends of the victory of the war, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of heavy rewards thrown out after the end of the battle, but also to give all the samurai a chance to have fun at the Zhengdan Dynasty. Who doesn't like to take the good things of giving money for nothing? The so-called cannibalistic means are soft on people, and the matter of eating the king is loyal to the king. With the benefits of the Kira family, who will have resentment, it is really an outlier among the outliers.

None of the people who belonged to the Kira family thought of betrayal, because the economic strength of the Kira family was unimaginably strong, they were reluctant to go back to live a hard life after standing on their own, and they had to face the irreversible Kira Legion's crusade, they were unwilling to betray, not because of how loyal and unyielding they were, but because the cost of betrayal was too high, so high that no one was willing to pay this price.

This is the benefit of the economic layout of Kira Yoshishi many years ago, the so-called loyalty is actually an expensive consumable, as long as it is used once, it is difficult to get it back, and loyalty can only be obtained through a long period of accumulation, to establish a stable and mutual trust system of monarchs and ministers, before the Minamoto Yoritomo dominated the world, it took nine generations for more than 200 years, until the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate entered the era of Kawachi Genji dominating the world.

The Ashikaga family can rely on the prestige of the samurai gradually accumulated from the Heian period, and loyalty is also slowly accumulated during this period, and it is difficult to talk about the loyalty of many people who are currently subordinate to the Kira family, and what they obey is nothing more than the hegemony and inexhaustible wealth of the Kira family, loyalty requires meritorious glory and countless benefits to make them gradually concentric, so any samurai who tries to destroy the lifeline of the Kira family at sea is a mortal enemy, and Kira Yoshitoki will fight it at all costs.

Kira Yoshishi was also shocked by this inference, and it was indeed not as simple as imagined when he scrutinized this matter, Miyoshi Changqing and Miyoshi Yoshiken were not only extraordinary in the military and political realms, but also two heroes with outstanding resourcefulness, and the old Song Yongxiu of the spectrum family under him was also a conspirator who people did not dare to underestimate.

Perhaps it was the hard power to find that it was not the opponent of the Kira family, so he came up with a combination of vertical and horizontal methods to deal with the Kira family, the goal of the Miyoshi family is precisely the most intolerant of touching interests, he poured countless efforts into Sakamoto Town, and only half of the net income obtained by Sakamoto Town every year was taken, and the other half was used to develop and consolidate Sakamoto's existing economic position.

In recent years, Sakamoto Town has gradually become the economic center of Lake Biwa, and has even become the only way for Dongkoku to enter and exit Kinai, Katata Town has formed a complete handicraft system based on porcelain and pottery as the core, and Otsu Town has become a favorite livable city for Kyoto ministers, monks, and cultural people by relying on the benefits of Mt. Hiei Enryakuji Temple, which is adjacent to the main mountain of Tendai Sect, the main mountain of Teramondo Sect, and the main mountain of Shinsei Temple, and the main temple of Shinmori Sect.

If you can board a boat on the Kamogawa River next to the Sanjo Ohashi Bridge, follow the Katsura River Yodo River and enter the Uji River upstream, you will come to Otsu Town, the cultural center of this new city, and the small Shiga County has become an economically developed area comparable to Kyoto thanks to the investment of hundreds of thousands of times a year.

If Shiga-gun's economic center is not secured, the absolute monopoly of Yodogawa and Lake Biwa will be lost, and Sakamoto Town will decline rapidly, and it will only be a matter of time before the three counties fall, and the collapse of the three counties will mean that Biwa House will completely lose its influence on the essence of Kinai.

The hegemony of the North Japan Sea, which the Kira naval army had painstakingly managed, became rootless duckweed, which had no practical effect other than piracy and plunder, and the high cost of maintaining a strong armament would make the Kira family feel overstretched, which would bring the momentum of the Kamisushi Ashikaga family to an abrupt end, and become the quiet beginning of the collapse of this super daimyō.

The more I think about it, the more terrible it becomes, and then it makes Kira Yoshitoki feel extremely angry and angry, Takeda Shingen, who once calculated him, was taught a cruel reality lesson by his nose and swollen face, and now Asakura Yoshikage, a clown who jumps off the beam, dares to challenge his dragon, and the intense anger and calculated humiliation make him roar irrepressibly.

"Yoshikei Asakura, this bastard is looking for death! The dignity of my Ashikaga family cannot be challenged, and since he wants to oppose him, I will give him a chance to oppose him! The land and water routes immediately moved into action and advanced at the same time, and they must seize control of the port of Tsuruga at all costs, and Yu would rather give up the lower Kanto to clean up the group of damn bastards of the Asakura family! ”

Kirayoshi's roar made a lot of vassals nervous, but many of the vassals were so impressed by the spirit of the vassals that they had accumulated over the years, and the ministers who were sitting a little farther away couldn't figure out why His Royal Highness, who was famous all over the world, was so angry, and hurriedly lowered his head and tried his best to restrain his thoughts so as not to suffer an unwarranted disaster.

Hearing Kira Yoshitoki's angry statement, the important ministers of the spectrum who sat in the front frowned, the Kira family has been working hard for several years and planning for a long time to prepare for the south to Kanto, and when they saw that the enemies on the east and west roads were defeated one by one, but there was a new threat caused by the Triple Alliance of Jinjiang and Vietnam.

Uesugi Teruto, who was silent, suddenly opened his eyes and wanted to speak, but the white-haired Yamamoto Shiyuki took the lead and said: "It is not easy for me to go to the Ashikaga family to have the power of today, and the established strategy of His Royal Highness is not suitable for recklessness after many years of preparation, it is better to let the old minister go to Omi Sakamoto and guard the Omi territory for the Kamikawa Ashikaga family!"
