Miyoshi Nagakei was very concerned about the transfer of the prisoners of Shikoku, and within a few days sent an envoy to contact the shogunate, and Ashikaga Yoshito sent Odate Harumitsu as an intermediary to deal with the redemption money of 23,000 kanbun, and the ships transporting the copper coins were undertaken by several large merchant houses in Sakai Town, for which several wealthy merchants in Sakai Town worked hard to procure it, and finally completed the transaction of exchanging copper coins for prisoners at the end of August.

Of the 23,000 kanbun, Kira Yoshitoki took 15,000 kanbun, and the remaining 8,000 kanbun were 6,000 kanbun for the shogunate, and 1,500 kanbun for the imperial court, and the Konoe family and the Nakain family relied on their kinship to share the donation of these 500 kanbun was also a small profit, and Ashikaga Yoshito wanted to use the money to build his new residence in Kyoto, the Nijo Imperial Palace.

Nijo Castle was not located in the bustling area of Sakyo, the Hana no Imperial Palace was already dilapidated, and the cost of renovation was too high to afford, and the flashy Hana-no-no-Gosho did not conform to the concept of Ashikaga Yoshito.

One more advantage is that it saves construction costs, and Ukyo has a large area of abandoned house courtyards that can be used for local materials, and with the support of these 6,000 kanbun, his ideal Nijo Imperial Palace can also be built smoothly.

Since the end of the war, Kira Yoshitoki returned to Sakamoto Castle, he refused Ashikaga Yoshito's retention of him, returned to Omi to continue to run Sakamoto Castle, for him to stay in Kyoto Ashikaga Yoshito to do side proximity, far from continuing to stay in Sakamoto Town to defend the side of the ease, especially he can't stand Ashikaga Yoshito's lofty temperament, all day long boasting about the beautiful blueprint for the future, this blueprint is changing every day is different every time, he can stand it to have a ghost.

His behavior of running back to Sakamoto away from the center of the shogunate made Ashikaga Yoshito feel more guilty, and all the direct ministers of the shogunate were proud of being close to the Shogunate, and they would rather stay with the Shogunate and do nothing, rather than go to those places away from the Shogunate's sight to deal with complicated affairs, which was regarded as a sign of loyalty, and was praised by Ashikaga Yoshito.

Ashikaga Yoshito spent more than half of his childhood in Omi Sakamoto, he was very familiar with every plant and tree there, and he also knew the style of the shogunate's direct ministers, who were either old ministers or famous samurai families, and it was undeniable that their knowledge and insight were top-notch.

The shogunate has a characteristic, the learned dodge the bow and horse skillfully, the rhetoric is more than down-to-earth, and many people also fantasize about hugging the thigh of the prince and soaring into the sky, taking the family business or setting up another family, etc., if the prince can add to him or his sister's blue eyes, it is a copy of the Odate family.

Kira Yoshitoki is not the kind of direct minister who obeys the public side in everything, but a general who can sit on one side, although he is young, but his loyalty and ability are beyond doubt, at least the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshito sees it this way, if you look at him pleasing to the eye, then what he does is good, Ashikaga Yoshito is probably the case.

He always remembered the phrase "Loyalty is good for deeds", Ashikaga Yoshito was cruel and tyrannical and did not accept advice, and his character was stubborn and self-indulgent, causing the shogunate to deviate from morality, and finally ended up being killed by Akamatsu Mansuke, and the ending of being killed by Akamatsu Mansuke has always warned the shogun, Ashikaga Yoshito's character is somewhat inclined to the signs of Ashikaga Yoshito, but it is much better than his ancestor, at least Ashikaga Yoshito will not abuse his subordinates, and he is also very kind to his relatives and attendants.

On August 28, in the Honmaru Castle Tower of Sakamoto Castle in Shiga County, Omi Province, Yoshitoki Kira and Tokiyuki Yamamoto sat opposite each other, holding in his hand a message from Harumitsu Odate, bringing an unexpected result from Miyoshi Chokei, which made him fall into a brief contemplation.

"Sanhao Changqing doesn't want the people of Shancheng Country? Did he abandon Ise Sadataka? "Kira Yoshishi is still a little unconvinced, Miyoshi Chokei is so unwise, in front of the shogunate envoy to threaten to send troops to retaliate, is this a mature samurai family governor should do? The courage of five steps of blood splashed in anger should not appear in an overlord who is in charge of several countries across the East Seto Sea.

"As a result, the plan to promote talks by fighting was unexpectedly destroyed, and it seemed that if it was fought too hard, there would be no room for peace talks, and the people of Shancheng would be completely abandoned, and more than 2,000 people would become a hot potato!"

"After the captives of the Miyoshi family are redeemed, find the people of Yamashiro and let them redeem them all." Yamamoto regretted that Miyoshi Nagakei's fierce refusal had completely failed their plans, especially since his direct threat to the shogunate and his strong sense of revenge were a bit too much, as the leader of a new samurai group, he had a lot to do, and no matter how he chose revenge, it shouldn't be the top priority.

It is understandable that the death of a younger brother is very sad, but the joint battle is like this, the military heart of the Miyoshi family has been vented, and the possibility of fighting again within the year has been reduced, and the most terrible thing is that the image of the victory of Miyoshi Changqing's painstaking management has been broken, and the frightened people of Jinai feel that this Miyoshi Changqing is not particularly terrifying, so they muster up the courage to go around to fight against the invasion of the Miyoshi family, and the hexagonal army that has done nothing on the battlefield is waiting for the opportunity to regain the lost reputation, which is the biggest hidden danger.

If Mitsuki proceeds from a realistic point of view, after comprehensive consideration, harmony with the shogunate is the most beneficial choice at the moment, but on this major issue that is incompatible and reasonable, Miyoshi Nagakei mercilessly refused, which made Yamamoto Kansuke shake his head.

"Looks like I miscalculated this Chikuzen Mamoru yet! If Sanzhu really wants to start a war, can I resist it? Kira Yoshitoki sighed.

"Don't be discouraged, didn't you already think about it before the Battle of Deep Grass?" Tokiyuki Yamamoto put down the manuscript in his hand, stood up and walked to the terrace of the castle tower, the sun falling on Lake Biwa reflecting a golden wave, "According to the information of His Royal Highness Hattori Iwamimori, Miyoshi Chikuzen Mamoru insists on continuing to issue mobilization orders, and the army of Shikoku is expected to land in in early October, and we still have two months to go." ”

"What can you do in two months? The Omi people suffered heavy losses in the First Battle of Fushimihara, and it was not appropriate to recruit them again in a short period of time, and the people of the mountain castle were all grass on the wall and could not be relied on, so I did not have much choice. Kira Yoshishi said distressedly.

"Why fight? Miyoshi's army is unstable, and the possibility of doing it now is infinitely low, Mitsuki is just making a show, even if he is stupid, he knows that he can't fight it today. Yamamoto Tokiyuki said with a smile: "What's more, there is a better way than fighting, the hall master doesn't know yet, since His Royal Highness learned that the power of Mitsuki is strong, he has been planning to kill Chikuzen Mamoru." ”

"Kill...... Chikuzen Mamoru ? Kira Yoshitoki said with a ridiculous face: "How to kill?" Chikuzen Shouyuan is heavily protected in Akutagawa Mountain Castle, is it impossible to assassinate? ”

"It's about assassination! In order to successfully assassinate Sanzhu, His Royal Highness also deliberately set up an assassination team for secret training. "Yamamoto Tokiyuki is not surprised at all by this, the assassination of the enemy family governor is not the first of Ashikaga Yoshito, if he can kill one person and benefit tens of millions of people, even Ashikaga Yoshito can't help but do it.

"As long as the Pavilion Master introduces Mitsuki's allies and retainers a little more heavily, His Royal Highness will definitely understand what to do."

"You mean to target Mitsuki's retainers and allies?" Kira Yoshitoki frowned and thought: "One of the people is the most virtuous and virtuous, the most important is the one in the house, the retainer group is the most important in Matsunaga, the most important in Matsunaga Nagari, and the heaviest in the people of the country, is it from these people?" Wait a minute! Miyoshi Nagakei's father-in-law, Hatakeyama's Yusa Chokyo? ”

Kira Yoshitoki looked at Yamamoto Tokiyuki in surprise, the latter nodded approvingly, and said: "Among these characters, it is best to deal with the redemption of the Yusa Chokyo, this person is the elder of the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi, and he has never been to Akutagawa Mountain Castle in order to avoid suspicion, and he does not belong to the important ministers in the system of the Miyoshi family, so he will be much delayed in getting the news, and his protection and vigilance are also the worst, as long as he is killed, it will disrupt the entire invasion plan." ”

"Hmmm! It would be great if His Royal Highness really happened to kill a few more important ministers, or even Sanhao Changqing itself! That's a good idea, and we'll do it! Kira Yoshitoki thought for a moment and said, "Let Zenjiro strengthen the defense of his family." ”

"Hehe, got it." Tokiyuki Yamamoto picked up the manuscript and walked out of the castle tower slowly.

Miyoshi Nagakei refused the shogunate's proposal for peace, which made Ashikaga Yoshito very annoyed, and what made him even more annoyed was that Miyoshi Nagakei dared to threaten the shogunate with war, killing the Miyoshi family one by one, what happened, Miyoshi Nagakei also forced their father and son to go into exile Sakamoto could not return to Luo, and because of this, his father died and could not return to the palace in Kyoto, who did he find to reason.

The fact is indeed as Yamamoto Shiyuki expected, since the last time he learned that Miyoshi Chokei had such a big power, Ashikaga Yoshito can be said to have been sleepless at night, and after thinking about it, he is still determined to use drastic means to get rid of Miyoshi Chokei, even if it is a dishonorable assassination.

At this time, he received a letterhead from Kira Yoshishi, focusing on the structure of the important ministers in the Miyoshi family, who exercises military power, who holds the power of internal affairs, who is the humerus of Miyoshi Nagakei, and the most surprising thing for him is the Hatakeyama family's thief Yusa Chokyo, not only once united with Kizawa Nagamasa to exile the Hatakeyama family governor, and then married his daughter to Miyoshi Nagakei to be his cheap father-in-law.

Miyoshi Nagakei is the silverfish of the Ashikaga family, Yusa Chokyo is the silverfish of the Hatakeyama family, the silverfish are close to the silverfish really smell the same, they all suck the blood of their Ashikaga family to grow into a fat brain, so Ashikaga Yoshito is happy to kill this silverfish, especially if it is a huge blow to Miyoshi Nagakei.

While Ashikaga Yoshito was busy with his assassination plan, the deal between the Miyoshi family and the shogunate was all concluded, and Miyoshi Chokei only refused to make peace and threatened to retaliate, but recalling the corpse of Shikawa Ichicun and Miyoshi Nagayi was also something that had to be done, and a complete exit from the mountain city was nothing in their eyes, and they would fight back sooner or later anyway.

After the resolution of the Miyoshi family, I was also busy with the government affairs of Sakamoto Castle, and I didn't go back for more than two months to find that Sakamoto Castle had changed greatly, and the prosperity of the castle town town has been quite large, and the lively streets are quite lively, and the dirty environment near Sakamoto Port has also improved, and everything has become orderly.
