Chapter 243: Confused
Yoshiyin and Akechi Mitsuhide were bound to intervene in Sakai port commerce because Japan was barren and the land output could not sustain the military supply all year round.
And commercial trade, checkpoint merchant tax, is another major income for the daimyo in addition to land property.
During the Kamakura Shogunate, the Shogunate was based on the Kanto Plain.
The Kanto Plain is vast, and its land output is several times that of the rest of the plains, such as the Nobi Plain and the Osaka Plain.
Relying on the advantages of Ishitaka in the Kanto Plain, Genji established a powerful samurai group and became the pillar of the samurai family, and subsequently achieved the samurai rule of the shogunate.
But the times are moving forward, and with the development of shipbuilding, ocean trade is gradually rising.
Kanto is located in northeastern Japan, far from the East Asian trade circle.
Japan's foreign trade, on the other hand, was dominated by Korea, the Ming Kingdom, and the Nanban, and entered Japan from the port of Kitakyushu in the south.
Enter from the western gateway of the Seto Inland Sea, the Sekiguchi Strait, and arrive at the eastern Sakai Port in the Seto Inland Sea.
It is then transported along inland waterways into the Kyoto Basin and into Lake Biwa.
In Omi Province, it was divided into two trade routes, one on the Hokuriku Province and the other on the Tokaido, and finally converged on the Kanto Plain.
By the time of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, this trade route had fully matured.
Along the way, the ports and cities benefited from commercial trade. They either set up customs to collect taxes, or participated in trading in castle towns, and made a lot of profits.
Therefore, at this time, the Northeast of Japan and the Kanto Plain no longer had the financial advantage of the original Kamakura shogunate era.
The income from the Kanto region's land alone was far inferior to the income from land and commerce in the Kansai region, and the strength of the Kanto daimyo gradually lagged behind that of the Kansai daimyos.
The Ashikaga shogunate was based on the recent few and won the world for more than 100 years.
Kyoto and Sakai Port are the two major centers of the western and western business circles in the near future, and the interests are huge.
The power in Kyoto is complicated, and Akechi Mitsuhide is unwilling to let the Spo family enter this quagmire to offend people.
The Sakai Port, controlled by the Miyoshi family, was relatively simple, and it became the best choice for the Spo family to intervene in several businesses.
Therefore, she went to great lengths to get Yoshiyin to reach into Sakai Port, even if it was just to send a few people, it would mean that the Spo family had the capital to deter the merchants of Sakai Port.
This allowed the Spo family to stand in the most advantageous position and earn a good profit in the Sakai Port commercial trade.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru waited for everyone to leave, and was still pondering there, not daring to disturb the general's thoughts from the left and right, and waited silently.
Suddenly, the general asked a man.
"What do men like?"
Thinking that he had misheard, he blinked his eyes until Ashikaga Yoshiki showed an impatient expression before he hurriedly replied.
"It should be beautiful clothes, rouge gouache and something like that. Right? ”
She said carefully, and the general nodded slowly.
"Send someone back to tell my father that he should buy some good ones in Kyoto and send them to the army.
No, alas. Never mind. ”
Ashikaga Yoshiki shook his head in frustration, what was he thinking.
The war has not subsided, so we have to think about it in the long run, and wait until I return to Kyoto to meet my father's father, and then make plans.
After all, it's still a man who understands a man, so she shouldn't make a random move.
I am the shogun, the lord of the world, and he will not escape from my hand after all.
Thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
———
On the north bank of the Yodo River, the Miyoshi Chokei Shogunate.
Iwanari Yutong and Wada Yumasa returned here together, and Miyoshi Changqing summoned all the concubines to discuss.
After seeing Miyoshi Changqing, Hetian Weizheng knew each other and went out to rest and waited for the summons.
Without outsiders, Iwasari Friends will go through the negotiations one by one.
After she finished saying Yiyin's three conditions, the audience was in an uproar, and Miyoshi Changqing also frowned.
"Ashikaga Yoshiteru just let him go so far? She should have known that I would never agree to such a condition. ”
Iwanari Yutong sighed and said.
"The humble prince gave a quid pro quo, and his subordinates couldn't make a decision, so he went back to the camp and asked the governor to decide."
"What can he give me?"
"Sanuki people, the prisoners of war he captured in the Battle of Yamato."
As soon as the scene was cold, the angry Miyoshi concubines looked at the family governor together.
Miyoshi Changqing was angry at first, but then he was relieved.
She was angry because she remembered the Tokawa Ichiku and Miyoshi Yoshiko who died in battle, but when she thought of the whereabouts of the Sanuki people, a boulder hanging in her heart finally landed.
Just like Ashikaga Yoshiteru thought, everyone is a ruler, and the thinking is actually similar.
Ten rivers and one survival died in battle, will the Sanuki country samurai family still be consistent and stand on the side of the Miyoshi family?
The fate of the Sanuki people will seriously affect the judgment of those people. Therefore, she must accept this bargaining chip of the Spoo family.
When one of the parties to the negotiation has a reason that cannot be refused, then it will be at a disadvantage in the negotiation, and the other party will break through this point and suppress your bottom line.
Miyoshi Changqing sighed, it seemed that she had no choice but to struggle a little bit in the circle drawn by the other party.
But overall, she admitted.
At this moment when she was pondering, the three good Masayasu under the seat spoke.
"The shogunate army deceived people too much, do you really think that my Miyoshi family has no strength to fight?
It's a big deal, as long as we win, we have the final say on any conditions. ”
Her words were fierce, but she was so embarrassed that she was cold, and no one answered.
Miyoshi Changqing shook his head secretly.
She is now under her command, except for the miscellaneous soldiers such as the wild samurai and the evil party hired by money, mainly from the military forces of various countries.
Miyoshi Nagayi's Settsu people, Shinohara Nagabo's Awa people, Matsui Hishide's Awa people. There is also the Sanhao people from the Miyoshi family and governed by the Miyoshi Zhengkang.
Miyoshi Nagaitsu and Matsui Hisahide were beaten apart by Yoshiin Spo in the previous ambush and were reluctant to fight him again.
Shinohara Nagafang was weakened by the strength of the Spo family in the blockade, and he was also afraid of the enemy.
Only Miyoshi Masayasu has never encountered the Spo army, and he still looks down on the strength of the recent army.
But she alone can't bring the military spirit of the whole army, so naturally she can't make waves.
Miyoshi Changqing is also resigned, unwilling to continue to waste time and consume the army.
She confessed, and now the headache is post-war. The retreat of the three good families is a stormy wave.
The three good families started from the bottom of the gram, and the foundation is unstable.
Miyoshi Changqing used Shangluo Kyoto to seize the world to inspire each family, which stabilized the ambitious samurai under his command.
Let them unite around the Miyoshi family and fight together.
Now, Shangluo's ambitions have been shattered, and the strategy after that is still in the clouds, she doesn't know how to go forward.
The only thing that can be determined is to rescue the Sanuki people, and first stabilize the foundation of the three kingdoms of Awa, Sanuki, and Awaji.
Then suppress the three conquered territories of Iyo, Tosa, and Settsu, so that the prestige of the Miyoshi family's six kingdoms and the prestige of the million-stone daimyo will not fall.
The family governor is silent, but he does not support the three good Zhengkang.
She sat down in a daze, and although she didn't say anything more, she was still unconvinced.
Matsui Hisahide watched coldly, thinking about the thoughts of the governor.
She suddenly found an opportunity, so that she, who was just a minister of Miyoshi Changqing, had a chance to soar.
After weighing left and right again and again, he was finally determined to come out of his position and have a future.
The Miyoshi shogunate was silent, and all the concubines were waiting for the governor to make a decision. Matsui Hisahide came out of the queue and kowtowed to Miyoshi Nagakei.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has a shallow view.
Not only should my family agree to Kenshinko's terms, but the shogunate should also appoint the shogunate to send the Spo family to Sakai Port.
The prestige of the Spo family is not high enough, and we have to help Qian Xingong to cheer him up again. ”
As soon as she said this, Zhu Ji accused her of eating inside and out.
Only Miyoshi Changqing's heart moved, and he looked at this calm minister, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart.
"What do you think, say."
