Everyone who lives in a samurai society is miserable.

In this barren island country, where supplies are scarce and extremely involuted, everyone is trying to stay alive.

I once heard that the population of Japan's Warring States has been growing, while the population growth rate of the motherland is declining, so Japan's Warring States are happier than the motherland.

I can't agree with it.

The wanton massacre of the population and the destruction of the means of production in the chaos of war will lead to the destruction of productive forces, famine and population decline.

The frequent, low-intensity wars of the Warring States of Japan did not destroy the productive forces.

On the contrary, because of the need for struggle, more attention was paid to productivity, and foreign high-yield crops were introduced, and the population increased.

But does population growth necessarily mean happiness? So why is the population growth rate low in some high-welfare countries?

Will productivity growth lead to happiness? Isn't that 996,007 going to die happily?

During the Warring States period, it was true that Japan's productive forces were developed and the number of people increased, but the cruel and chaotic times did not make people happy.

It is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world. Whoever goes back to that era will be as miserable as Yiyin.

I am sorry to be human. There are jackals, tigers and leopards all around, all of whom lead beasts to eat people.

It's so hard to be a human being, not a beast.

The high-level martial artists are deceitful, the grassroots Ji warriors have no bottom line, and the common people have become pigs and dogs.

All of them have torn apart their conscience as human beings, seeking only to survive. Let others die, let yourself live.

Even if he wants to save Yukino, who is loyal to him, Yoshiin must say a set of logic that is acceptable to selfish samurai in order to pass the test.

To persuade Akechi Mitsuhide, he wanted to use her mouth to persuade the Spo retainers.

Otherwise, even if Xue Nai is saved, the Si Po family will be disgruntled afterwards, and they will be a threat to themselves and Xue Nai.

This world is exhausting to the point of despair.

As for the martial artists outside, it is estimated that they have to laugh at his husband's benevolence and miss the opportunity. The samurai family doesn't have a good thing.

Yiyin wants to compromise, and it is not up to him to have the final say.

In today's situation, to compromise with the Ashikaga family is to sacrifice the interests of the Spo family, how can the Ji samurai group in the family agree.

For the sake of a small Takada Yukino, there must be a reasonable explanation for giving up the great opportunity to suppress the Ashikaga family and expand the interests of the Spo family.

Yoshiin is only the leader of the Spoi clan he has revived, the leader of the Spoji samurai, and the representative of interests.

Although he single-handedly created this samurai interest group and has a certain decision-making power, he cannot go against the fundamental interests of this group.

Whether it is to help Uesugi Terutora conquer Kanto, or to rescue Takada Yukino at the hands of the Ashikaga family, he must have the support of the retainers.

In fact, the situation within the Spoo family is already very good.

Because of Yiyin's great achievements in war, and the leaders of various factions coveted him, he had considerable autonomy as a family governor.

But even so, in order to bow to the Ashikaga family, in addition to making concessions to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, it is also necessary to seek understanding from internal forces.

In other words, it will weaken his authority both internally and externally, and he will pay a huge price.

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed his head in contemplation.

The Lord's negotiations with the Ashikaga family this time do not necessarily need to be quiet, and there is room for maneuver both internally and externally.

The samurai is cunning, lacks integrity, and gives priority to interests in everything he does, tearing up agreements and discarding promises at every turn.

Yiyin stated that he would not abandon a retainer, and fulfilled his promise twice in Yamanaka Yumori and Takada Yukino.

This can actually be packaged as a commitment to the various factions of the Spo family, but it is conducive to strengthening the unity of the family.

This move did damage the interests of the Si Po family, but in the long run, it gave the samurai under Si Po a reassurance, and even promised to unite the hearts of the family.

Akechi Mitsuhide is confident in this, because the Sibo family has just been integrated, and loyalty to the Lord is at its strongest.

Unlike Yiyin's worries, this matter cannot shake the prestige of the sovereign.

Since she misled the various factions in her family on the grounds of joining the family, the centripetal force of the Sibo retainers towards the sovereign is much higher than that of the ordinary samurai retainers.

After all, there is a carrot hanging in front of it, and in the face of temporary losses, all factions in the family can bear it.

There are six major factions within the Spoo family.

Sakai Port Takada Yono has a deep relationship with his sister, and Yiyin compromised in order to save Yukinai, and the Takada family must have supported it.

Nizi Yamanaka is a party, and Yamanaka Yukimori's experience is similar to Takada Yukino, and Nizi Katsuhisa has a deep affection for her, and the effect is the same.

Of course, Akechi Mitsuhide himself is a supporter of the Lord, and Niko Katsuhisa and the two of her have a monopoly on the internal and foreign affairs of the Spo family, and will support the Lord's approach at a strategic level.

Shima Katsu is in charge of the selection of the new concentric people at Peking University, which is the promotion of the lord and the trust and grace.

She will not be ignorant of the importance and add to the Lord's obstruction.

Maeda's interests are the loyal dogs of the lord, the most trusted chief general in the family, everyone is against it, and she will also support that kind of licking dog.

Maeda Toshiya is far away in Owari, and it is almost unprofitable in the near future, and it will not be entangled.

All high-level martial artists are clearly arranged, and it won't be a problem.

As long as the Lord remains single, and they still covet the Lord, the high-ranking factions of the Spoo family will rally closely around the Lord.

The main murmur in the house comes from the middle and lower class samurai.

After the nationalization of the Iga, Peking University and the people, they were dismantled and diluted.

The territory was changed, and foreign forces such as the Saikoku samurai, Mino samurai, and Owari samurai infiltrated the area, and their influence weakened day by day.

And the foreign martial artists have just arrived, and they have not yet formed an intertwined collusion of interests, and they are also at ease for a while, and they dare not try more.

The grassroots of the entire Sibo family is fragmented and flattened, and has not yet formed a joint force, daring to call out to the sovereign.

Therefore, in the opinion of Akechi Mitsuhide, the Spo family is controlled by the Lord, but the Lord is too cautious.

As long as he doesn't get married, he will break the dreams of all factions in the family. At this point in time, the Spoo family could sacrifice their own interests and support the will of the sovereign.

He could have been tougher, and he didn't need to compromise on the Ashikaga family.

A united Spo family, stronger than the Ashikaga family. And because of the chaos within the shogunate, he didn't suffer a loss when he fought.

No, it accidentally gained the upper hand.

If it weren't for the soft-heartedness of Spo Yoshiyin and his willingness to compromise for the sake of righteousness in his heart, the Ashikaga family would have fallen big this time.

Wise Guangxiu won't understand Yiyin's true thoughts, she just thinks that Yiyin's approach is to implement her own righteousness, and it is the white moonlight in her heart.

As for Yukino Takada, it's just a lucky little guy at the right time.

Therefore, with the power that the Lord now has, there is no need to bow down to the Ashikaga family at all, and it is completely possible to confront it with a tough attitude.

The overall situation must be taken into account, but the concession is not for a small retainer, but a guardian system that everyone maintains together.

Could it be that the Ashikaga family still dares to be crooked and make the Spo family angry?

With this courage, why bother to set up a trap for Takada Yukinai, so as to pry into Sibo Yiyin's attitude and try in vain to regain the initiative.

If it weren't for the news of the Miyoshi family and the Rokkaku family entering Beijing, the Ashikaga family almost succeeded in taking the initiative.

Now that Si Bo Yiyin is willing to give in, does her family dare to kick her nose in the face?

Really annoys Si Po Yiyin, and if you break up in two, no one will benefit.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no problem, so he bowed his head to the ground and spoke to Yiyin.

"The lord is righteous, and he will never abandon his retainers, and the retainers of Spo should be grateful.

The Spo family is your revival, and the Spo family is the only one who looks forward to you.

Although the Lord let go of things, who dares to disobey his orders. ”

Yamanaka Yukimori followed and kowtowed.

"All of us are willing to serve the Lord, and we will not die!

If anyone is not grateful, regardless of dignity or inferiority, I will behead him for His Highness. ”

Yiyin praised Yamanaka Yumori and asked Akechi Mitsuhide.

"You mean, I could have been a little tougher?"

Akechi Mitsuhide replied.

"The Lord is the lord of the revival of the Spo family, and his military achievements are unparalleled in the world.

The warriors under Spo's command are all rewarded by you, and they are willing to be eagle dogs, and everyone in the family is grateful to Dade.

The lord made concessions to the Ashikaga family for the sake of the stability of the shogunate and the maintenance of the guardian system. This is a move to take the overall situation into account, and it is the righteousness of the samurai.

If the Ashikaga family has to make an inch, we can't do the story of the three good families? Does the princess really dare to force my family to rebel? ”

Yiyin nodded repeatedly.

That's right! I didn't give in for the sake of Uesugi Terutora and Yukino, but for the sake of the overall situation of the shogunate, I gave the Ashikaga family a little thin noodles.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru, don't be ashamed!
