Chapter 221: Autumn Harvest

Mibuchi was excited, but he didn't lose his mind.

She eats people softly, takes people short, and knows that there is a price to pay.

But these must wait for the Izumi Hosokawa family to get out of trouble, and Hosokawa Mototsune and Hosokawa Fujitaka will decide.

People are self-aware, she has been mixed up for so many years, and she has not been killed.

is with a good sister and a good daughter.

She is not stupid, Yiyin is so generous, far beyond the scope of repaying kindness.

But as long as Hosokawa's mother and daughter can be saved, Mibuchi Haru is willing to pay any price.

The Mibuchi family is indispensable to the support of the Hosokawa family, which is the foundation of survival and irreplaceable.

No matter how cheeky she is, she can't say nothing at all.

After thinking about his errand, I decided to say a few more words.

"Yiyin, although you have brought a large amount of grain and grass, the general may not be willing to delay it any longer."

Mibuchi Haruto's words surprised both Yiyin and Akechi Mitsuhide.

The shogunate army is not short of food and grass, so why is it in a hurry to have an affair with the Miyoshi family?

Miyoshi's family is a hungry wolf, and if she doesn't hurt her family this time, the shogunate will still have troubles after that.

Seeing that the two of them were confused, Mibuchi Qing knew that he finally had some information that could be reciprocated, so he suddenly perked up and said.

"The Ashikaga shogunate has long since decayed, and it has been able to hold on until now.

The first is to rely on the external barrier between the Izumi Hosokawa family and the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi, who survived in the three management and four positions, and these forces are known as the local powerful factions of the shogunate.

The second is to rely on the Ashikaga retainers' territories in Yamashiro Province and surrounding countries to supply the Ashikaga Horse people and support the military strength of the shogunate, and these forces are shogunates.

Both parties were vested interests in the Ashikaga shogunate, and neither wanted the shogunate to fall.

This supported the face of the Ashikaga shogun and barely maintained the existence of the shogunate in the near future. ”

Yiyin nodded.

The shogunate was a few days away, and it had long since lost the power to interfere.

Most of the samurai families outside of the shogunate only used the name of the shogunate to coerce the local government and seek some local shogunate official positions.

In recent years, the shogunate has become more and more declining, and the donations to the shogunate have been decreasing year by year.

This is a sign of danger, and more and more samurai families in the world no longer take Ashikaga shogun seriously.

Mibuchi Haru breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"I was valued by the general, in charge of the distribution of supplies in the battalion.

In fact, these days, Omi enters the Seda River with Lake Biwa, and there are a lot of supplies supplied to Kyoto by merchant ships.

The two families of the north and south Omi are indeed respectful this time, and there is no perfunctory general. ”

After the First World War of Norada, the arrogance of the Rokkaku family was suppressed.

The Asai family and the Rokkaku family competed for the support of the shogunate, and although the troops were not many this time, they were very generous in terms of materials.

Yiyin understood this, but he didn't understand why Mibuchi Haruhin brought it up.

Akechi Mitsuhide on the side interjected.

"So, the logistics supply of the shogunate army is actually not as unbearable as it seems?"

Yiyin reacted suddenly.

If what Mibuchi Haruhi said was true, then even if the shogunate army was not as logistically abundant as Miyoshi Chokei, it would not fall into embarrassment in thirty days and almost collapse internally.

He couldn't help but ask.

"Why? Why did Ise Sadakyo pretend to be logistically unstable and coerce the general to negotiate.

Even if her family was bought by Miyoshi Changqing, the other ministers would not be so unwise and coerced by her. ”

Mibuchi Qingren sighed and said.

"Because the shogunate is rotten.

After the summer harvest, the general and Miyoshi Changqing had been confronted for more than thirty days. Soon after, it will be the autumn harvest. ”

Yiyin finally understood what the courtiers were thinking, these bastards were thinking about the autumn harvest!

Japan was barren, and the samurai society was prone to wars, and the samurai did not have an easy time.

Even if you save money, you can't save a percentage of food a year.

Because if you don't want to fight, others will beat you.

Therefore, the arms race has never stopped, and each family is living a tight life, and a copper coin is broken in half.

Plough in winter and harvest in summer, and sow and harvest wheat.

Japan lacks abrasives and has little flour. Therefore, hard wheat rice is the main ration of the common peasants.

Spring ploughing and autumn harvest, planting and harvesting rice, this is the main grain collected by the samurai.

For the samurai, the most important thing of the year is the autumn harvest.

If the summer harvest is delayed, it is a big deal to starve some civilians to death, and the next year it will be enough to plunder the displaced people and return to replenish the cultivators.

But if the autumn harvest is missed, the samurai can't stand it.

This is the ration of the Wu family, the military food in the army. Grain and grass is a major military matter, which affects the survival of the family and the country.

And to collect grain, you need to disband the peasant soldiers and go home.

The service cycle of a peasant soldier is 10 days, five days of rations are eaten directly, and five days of raw wheat are cooked and eaten, so every five days of round-trip transportation lines must arrange an additional batch of peasants and soldiers.

Haruka Mibuchi has already made it very clear.

The two families in the north and south of Omi used merchant ships to transport supplies to Kyoto via the Seda River on Lake Biwa, so they did not need too many peasants.

The logistics of Miyoshi Changqing relied on the logistics and transportation of Sakai Port merchants, and did not involve too many peasants and soldiers.

Although the Yamato country transportation line of Yiyin uses the Northern Surgeon and the agricultural soldiers, Kofukuji Temple and Tsutsui Castle are supporting.

With 450,000 stone to transport a supply line, it is not possible to use all strength, and naturally there are not many peasant soldiers to be recruited.

Only the logistics line from Yamashiro Province to Kawachi Province was transported by Yamashiro Province's peasants and soldiers, which were all labor in the shogunate's territory.

In particular, the Kawachi Hatakeyama family was in civil strife, and the Kawachi peasants who were supposed to participate in the transportation were gone.

It also increased the transportation pressure on the mountain city, and the number of peasant soldiers continued to grow.

If the current logistics of the shogunate army are followed, the Miyoshi family can confront each other for another twenty or thirty days.

The peasant soldiers of the shogunate will not be able to go home in time for the autumn harvest!

No wonder none of the shoguns came out to refute Ise Sadakyo, she simply represented the interests of the entire group of shoguns.

It's no wonder that Mibuchi said that even if Yiyin came up with supplies, the general would still choose to negotiate as soon as possible.

Because the shogunate was one of the two pillars of the shogunate, no matter how angry Ashikaga Yoshiteru was with these bastards, he couldn't really force them back, and he had to compromise.

Yiyin and Akechi Guangxiu glanced at each other, and they both felt furious in their hearts.

The two of them were not from the shogunate, and they didn't know enough about the ditch.

I only know that the logistics of fighting a war are important, and how do I know that the political game in the shogunate is so complicated.

Fortunately, Yiyin has chosen to merge with Hosokawa Miabyss, and someone has pointed out that he will not suffer this kind of black-eyed pain in the future.

Although Mibuchi Haruhuna is mediocre in intelligence, he grew up in the Makutomi family, and he is also very clear about the doorway.

Now that he has given it to Yiyin, it also means to repay him.

In this way, the favor debt lent by Yiyin has begun to receive the first interest.

The shogunate's deliberations ended, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru returned to his imperial tent.

A moment later, the summoned Wada Yumasa came and saluted the general.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru shook his head.

"It's all about this time, don't care about these false courtesies.

Wada-hime, I need you to send an envoy to the Miyoshi Army. ”

Wada Weizheng listened to it with a disgraced face.

Lord Gongfang, are you trying to kill me?

You just sent Miyoshi Changqing her sister's head, and you also sent the good news of the tragic death of your only daughter.

What does it mean to call me an envoy now?

Besides, just now, Spo Gozen pointed to Ise Sadakyo's face and said that if he dares to negotiate again, he will kill the whole family.

Kill the whole family!

If I go on an envoy, I will not be a human being inside or outside, and I will be a big dead word.

General, do you hate me so much?
