Chapter 220: Repaying the Favor
As the old saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be courteous, and you will be either a traitor or a thief.
How to fit smoothly into a group, to be appreciated rather than be suspicious, is very important.
Dou Mien, Shengmi hatred. In the final analysis, the scale is still not mastered.
The Izumi country stone is no more than 140,000 koku high, but the Izumi Hosokawa family has a very high status in the shogunate.
What is even more surprising is that the Hosokawa clan in Shikoku Awa was still fighting against the shogun for the real power of the shogunate a few years ago.
The Hosokawa clan was defeated, and the Izumi Hosokawa family was still able to mix well in the shogunate. This kind of ability is very powerful.
Izumi Hosokawa's family is outside, and it is a local powerhouse. The second concubine entered the Sanyuan family as an adopted daughter, inherited the family business and became a minister.
In front of the shogun, the local powerful faction belonged to the cronies who closely followed the Ashikaga family.
Among the shogunates, the Mibuchi family reconciles the contradictions, and it is also a good popularity that does not show mountains and waters.
Look at Hatakeyama Takamasa mixed up like such a bear, and then look at Hosokawa Mototsune's ease, the gap between people is so big.
The revival of the Spoo family was too fast, and the foundation was unstable. I want to form an alliance with Hosokawa Mibuchi's consortium and gain a foothold in the shogunate.
It is necessary to let the two of them let down their guard, sincerely recognize the Sibo family, and form a common interest group.
If it's just a friend of the flies and dogs, Sibo Yiyin doesn't need to spend so much effort to make Mibuchi Haru happy.
Hosokawa's mother and daughter are too shrewd, and Mibuchi mother and daughter are still easy to talk to.
As long as the entry point for asking for help is opened, the subsequent combination of interests will be logical and not abrupt.
Only then can the two shrewd people of the Hosokawa family pinch their noses and accept the Spo family into the alliance and bind the alliance between the two sides.
And the honest man of Mibuchi Haruhin is the glue of the two fox spirits of Hosokawa and Spo.
If there were no righteous Mibuchi Haruka, even if the two sides cooperated with each other, they would not be too close.
Just because you are too smart, you have no friends.
Yiyin's help can only be effective after Mibuchi Haru personally asks for help.
Because Mibuchi Haruhin took the initiative to propose, Spo Yoshiyin passively accepted, and he incurred a debt of favor.
And the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay.
With Mibuchi Haru's character, this debt is enough for her to repay for a lifetime.
It's so troublesome, just because the trust between the samurai is too weak and weak. In troubled times, it is extremely difficult to find a reliable ally.
What Spo Yiyin needs is a reliable ally, even if he pays some first.
I am most afraid of encountering a martial artist who eats clean and wipes his mouth, which makes people want to cry without tears.
Therefore, the personal debt of Haruhi Mibuchi is very important.
Mototsune Hosokawa is her sister, and Takashi Hosokawa Fujitaka is her daughter and has a close relationship.
She is also the governor of the Miabuchi family, the head of the Hosokawa Miabyses Consortium, and no decision can leave her.
Only the guarantee of Mibuchi Qingren is enough, so that Yiyin can pay with peace of mind, and he is not afraid of being dumped by the other party when he runs out.
At this time, Mibuchi Qingren was in tears, and he couldn't care about decency.
Izumi Hosokawa's family is in danger, and she is frightened day and night, but there is nothing she can do.
Now Si Po Yiyin has come to the door, and he is willing to be his own son and nephew. She couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, and knelt down to beg the Spoo's family for help.
Yiyin sat her down and comforted her.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm friends with Hosokawa Fujitakahime, and I won't see her have an accident.
I have asked Shigehide Suzuki to bring the Saga Party back to Kii and put pressure on them to withdraw their troops.
Kishiwada Castle only needs to face the army of Azuku Dongyasu, and the pressure plummets. ”
Mibuchi Haru is also a samurai, knows military affairs, and knows where the military power surrounding his sister and daughter comes from.
Listening to what Yiyin said was methodical and reasonable, I felt a little at ease, but I still couldn't help but be gloomy.
"The shogunate army and the Miyoshi family are evenly matched, even if the Hanoi side does not collapse, the Izumi Hosokawa family will not be able to keep it."
The Miyoshi family could not enter the mountain city country, but they took the entire territory of Izumi except for Kishiwada Castle.
If this battle ends here, the Hosokawa family will definitely not be able to take back Izumi Province, and the samurai family has no habit of spitting out what is swallowed in their mouths.
Even if the Miyoshi family retreats, it will only withdraw from Hanoi, and the country of Hequan will still belong to her family.
Yiyin sneered.
"Not necessarily. Uncle and aunt know that Ten Rivers was killed by me. ”
"I heard it, it's amazing, Shihe Yicun is the first fierce general of the Sanhao family."
Yiyin smiled and shook his head.
"I'm not saying this to boast.
Did my uncle ever think that the Sanuki army led by Ichikawa Ichicun came across the sea and had nowhere to escape, where are those defeated Ji samurai now? ”
Mibuchi was stunned, she really hadn't thought about it.
Yamato's affairs are too far away from her, and these days she has a headache about the logistics of the shogunate army, and she is worried about her sister and daughter, and she has never thought about anything else.
Yiyin laughed.
"The Sanuki-hime samurai have all been taken prisoner by me and imprisoned at Kofukuji Temple.
Sanuki Province is the root of the Miyoshi family.
You say, is she willing to trade Izumi Province for these Sanuki samurai? Still watching Sanuki civil strife. ”
Mibuchi said excitedly.
"Are you willing to use Sanuki prisoners of war to exchange the territory of the Izumi Hosokawa family with Miyoshi Chokei?"
Yiyin looked at Mibuchi Qingren and said with a sincere expression.
"When I went to Beijing and had nothing, it was you who spoke for me in front of the general, and it was you who helped me ask for the Ashikaga white flag.
It is a gift from you that I can have today.
I will not only help you keep the Izumi Hosokawa family, but also help the Mibuchi family to ascend to the throne.
Aren't you worried about Ise Sadakyo settling accounts with the autumn queen?
Sister Fujiei. ”
Listening to it in a daze, Mibuchi Fujiying, who felt incredible, slowed down for half a beat before quickly replying.
"Yes, what does the Imperial Command?"
She is not a member of her mother, Mibuchi, and she is cautious. Although he is not a talent, he knows how to advance and retreat, and he speaks appropriately.
Yiyin said.
"Sister Shi is polite.
In this war, the lives of North Hanoi were devastated, and I watched Sister Fuji Ying as a decent person and talented.
After the war, I would like to protect you as the guardian of North Hanoi and enter the North Hanoi.
Would you like to? ”
Mibuchi Fujiei was dizzy by the big pie that fell from the sky, and she forgot to speak for a while.
Mibuchi Haru was taken aback and asked.
"Yiyin, don't make fun of Fuji Ying, she is an honest child, she can't help laughing."
Yiyin said solemnly.
"Uncle rest assured, what Yiyin said is true.
When the Sibo family declined, you were kind to me.
Now that the Sibo family is rising again, the Mibuchi family has to follow suit.
This is the reward of my Spo Yiyin. ”
Mibuchi Haru rubbed his hands, feeling that his child was too honest and not suitable for such an important position as the guardian of North Hanoi.
But I can't say anything about refusal.
That's North Hanoi! Not to mention that it is also the territory of more than 100,000 stones, close to Kyoto, and has a high position.
Once Mibuchi Fujiei became a daimyo here, the Mibuchi family was no longer afraid of any shogun.
She hesitated, but gritted her teeth and said.
"Then I'll accept it cheekily."
Yiyin laughed.
"Uncle and aunt are polite, so naturally they should accept it."
As long as Mibuchi Haru accepts the two big gifts of Izumi and Kitakawachi, even if Hosokawa Mototsune gets out of trouble in the future, he will not be able to rely on the account.
The heavier the gift, the more it must be repaid with something of equal value.
What's more, Yiyin still sent charcoal in the snow to save the Hosokawa Miabuchi family from fire and water, but I am afraid that the two families will not be able to repay.
In this way, they can only take the Spo family to play together, and the three families jointly eat together in the shogunate.
Although Sibo Yiyin used some heart, he also gave real benefits to Mibuchi Qingren, which was worthy of the help of this good old man.
He looked back at Akechi Mitsusu and saw that she was stunned, not knowing what she was thinking, it wouldn't be a good thing anyway.
This Nizi is too ruthless and loves to hide her secrets. Sooner or later, you have to peel it off and take it before you can do things in peace.
