"How did you come to Kyoto?"

"I'm here to supervise the merchant's transportation, and His Highness Oda has asked me to buy a few muskets to go back."

Hideyoshi, who met Yoshiin, was very happy, and he had to say it in 1510. The materials she supervised were supposed to be handed over to the Ashikaga family, and Yoshiyin was responsible for this, and she didn't need to hide it.

After becoming a Ji warrior, because of his petite stature, he didn't practice any martial arts. She had to find another way to climb up through her brilliant head.

For example, the introduction of buying and selling goods, and the management of castle towns deepened Nobunaga's impression of her.

This time, she was sent by Nobunaga, and she also took a fancy to her flexible brain.

There are many materials to be donated by Yiyin in Beijing. It was transported by the merchant, supervised by Hideyoshi, and Yoshiin presented the watch, and the Ashikaga family picked it up with the offering watch. Interlocking and eliminating loopholes.

And Nobunaga also has a keen sense of new things, and by the way, he asked Hideyoshi to buy some iron cannons and return to Owari.

The countryside of Owari was so closed that the expensive iron cannon merchants would not even think of transporting it there to sell it.

Although the iron cannon had many disadvantages, it was susceptible to moisture, had a short range, was slow to reload, and could not be ejected.

It can be trained easily, and the advantages of strong armor-piercing are also favored by samurai.

All countries are at war, but the lack of livelihood of the people has promoted military development. The old-fashioned methods of warfare are constantly being broken by new ideas and new weapons, and an alternative kind of prosperity has been achieved.

I went to Kyoto with Hideyoshi, and I asked about it on the way. Hideyoshi came to Kyoto with a caravan on the Mino Omi route, which was much easier than the route of Yoshiba's interests.

However, the caravan had to do business along the way, and the speed was not fast, so the two sides happened to meet on the main road from Shancheng to Beijing.

Hideyoshi has been inquiring about the price of iron cannons these days. She has a lively mind, sees that the price is inflated, and is ready to wait for the donation to be completed before going to Sakai Port.

It is close to Kii Province and close to the production area, so the price should be more affordable.

Listening to her eloquent talk, Yiyin was envious. This is the person who does things, and all aspects are well considered, so it's no wonder that Nobunaga has to appreciate it these days and go to Beijing to do things.

It is not uncommon for Ji Samurai to be good at killing, and there are far fewer people who can save money for their main family with brain work.

Seeing that they were chatting hotly, the interests behind them didn't like this short Ji warrior. Although he looked sincere, he was polite.

But the instinct of interest felt deeply coveted from her. Although there is no evidence, the interest can see the greed and lust for Yiyin in the depths of her eyes.

This person is not as frank and simple as he looks, so be careful and warn himself about his interests.

We went on the road together and entered Kyoto in a few days.

"Yoshigin-sama, are you going to see Ashikaga Shogun now? It's so envious. ”

"Why don't you come along?"

For Hideyoshi, who was born as a servant, the shogun is the peak of the samurai family, and she is full of envy for Yoshiin to meet the shogun.

"Is this really okay?"

Hideyoshi was overjoyed, but Yoshiin didn't care.

There is no difference between one retinue and two retinues, and they can't get into the room anyway. Take a sneak peek at the general's face outside, and you won't cut off your head.

At this time, in the Hana Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was convening the shogunate to discuss the matter.

"News has come from the Rokkaku family that the Asai family has torn up the surrender treaty. Rokkaku Yoshiken hopes that Gongkata will keep his covenant and send troops to fight against the Asai family. ”

After Wada Yumasa finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Ashikaga Yoshiki's darkened face.

At the beginning, the Miyoshi family invaded Yamashiro Province, and the Ashikaga family was powerless to stop it, and the Rokkaku family's first generation of Dinglai extended an olive branch, and the previous shogun, who was sick and rushed to the hospital, did sign an offensive and defensive alliance.

But after all, to take into account the face of the Ashikaga general, Rokkaku Joyori never asked the Ashikaga family to participate in the Omi War, and tacitly agreed that the alliance was limited to the Miyoshi family.

Now that Rokkaku Yoshiken is on the throne, he dares to talk about the covenant, which is to step on Ashikaga Yoshiteru's face to the ground.

But the Miyoshi family is about to move, and Ashikaga Yoshiki can't turn his face with the Rokkaku family, which is really infuriating.

Sending his own army to fight the Asai family, not to mention the loss of the Ashikaga family's already small strength, the result of making the Asai family hostile is not what Ashikaga Yoshiteru wants.

The current Ashikaga family can only rely on balancing forces to stabilize the near future, and does not want to offend any powerful samurai at will.

Everyone was depressed and aggrieved, and Ma Hui came outside to report that it was Si Bo Yiyin, the son of the Si Po family.

"Owari Spo's house? It was the son of Spor Justice, and he called in. ”

Although Spoy is cowardly, he is a good man. Over the years, the connection with Kyoto has not been broken.

Although Spo was defeated, but this year, the Ashikaga shogunate was undefeated, everyone warmed each other, missed the feast of the wealthy families in the past, and fooled around.

Every year, Yoshinori wrote a letter to Ashikaga Shogun to show his loyalty, offering some worthless Owari specialties on New Year's holidays.

In Ashikaga Yoshiteru's heart, he also has his name on it. Since her son is in Beijing, the face that should be given is still to be given. Now that the shogunates are all here, there is no obstacle to seeing them.

When Spo Yoshiin walked to the steps with Hideyoshi, the two behind him were stopped by Ma Yuzhong, who was guarding the door. Sensible had to kneel outside, prostrate on the ground and greet the princess.

And Yoshiyin walked into the room alone, kneeling down in front of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

"Ashikaga Ichiban Spo Yoshigin, the son-in-law of the Spo clan, greets Lord Gongfang."

Yoshiin secretly looked at the current Ashikaga shogun, and saw that the woman was wearing a white kimono embroidered with the two of the Ashikaga family.

The facial features are delicate and dignified, but with a sharp and heroic force, like a sharp sword out of the sheath.

The most impressive thing is the pair of towering straight eyebrows, not angry and arrogant but not grandiose, with a unique charm.

"No need to be polite, is your mother okay? I am very pleased that I have received the letter she sent a few years ago. ”

These days, there are fewer and fewer people who respect the shogunate, and no matter how cheap the gift of the Shogunate is, it is good to have this heart.

"My mother has passed away."

"Huh?"

Yiyin replied with a choked sob.

He is indeed a little sad, although he is a new person with the memories of his previous life, and he lacks natural closeness to the people of the Spo family.

The sisters in the family are also fools, and they have all fallen into this way and only know how to fight in the nest.

But Spoyi is indeed a good man, a good wife, and a good mother. For her passing, Yiyin is concerned.

It's just that too many things have happened these days, so much that I am dizzying, and I gradually forget the sadness in the busyness. At this time, it was mentioned by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and Yoshiin revealed his sadness.

"The Spo Guardian Mansion was attacked by the rebel Oda Nobuyo, and the entire clan was destroyed, but I was the only one who survived."

"What!"

Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't believe that the Spo family, who had exchanged letters with him before and had a respectful attitude, was gone?

I can't help but feel a wave of fear in my heart.,Maybe one day.,The Ashikaga family is inevitable.。。

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga took action to destroy Oda Nobunyu and avenge the Spo family.

His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga admired the majesty of the princess and ordered me to offer 500 copper coins, 1,000 koku of rice, 50 Muramasa, and 100 spears. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki watched silently, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. She can be a general in this chaotic place in the near future, where is a stupid person who forgets with a few beautiful words and a few offerings.

I probably understood the purpose of Spo Yiyin's visit to Beijing this time, and I thought of the recent persecution of the Rokkaku family, and I was resentful.

What do you samurai think of my Ashikaga shogunate! How can the dignity of the Ashikaga family be bought with a few small favors!

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshiteru was silent for a long time. didn't say to accept it, didn't say it wouldn't be accepted, just stared at him coldly.

Cold sweat oozed from Yiyin's back, which was different from what he thought.
