Ashikaga Yoshiteru is seizing on the speculation of the shogunates in the recent battles, knocking the shogunes and collecting the power in their hands.

The shogunate was originally a retainer of the Ashikaga family, and he gained a lot of benefits from the gradual decline of the Ashikaga shogunate.

Now it has reached a terrible point where without them, the horses of the Ashikaga family have no logistics to use.

Under the pretext of disloyalty, Ashikaga Yoshiteru deprived the shogunate of part of his territory by means of fines and reductions.

He then claimed to establish a new Nijo Imperial Palace, build Nijo Castle, take over the surrounding land, and establish logistical supplies controlled by the Ashikaga family.

Once successful, the Ashikaga family, which got rid of the coercion of the shogunate, could use the method of four or two thousand catties to leverage the mobilization of the entire shogunate with a little logistics.

In this way, the mobilization power of the shogunate, which was originally a plate of scattered sand, will be stimulated and controlled by Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

At this time, the right place and the right people are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In order to focus on dealing with the Asai family, Rokkaku Yoshiken personally went to Beijing to kneel and lick and show weakness to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Although Miyoshi Chokei pacified Shikoku, Miyoshi Yoshiken passed away, and the family once again showed signs of civil strife, and he was so anxious that he had no time to look to the shogunate.

The Ise family's stance of pro-Miyoshi family in the recent battle was seized by Ashikaga Yoshiteru and chased after him.

borrowed the Ninagawa family's closeness, split the shogunate's interior, grabbed the shogunate of the Ise family, and smashed the wool with all his might.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was able to achieve such a favorable situation, and the Spo family contributed a lot.

The Hosokawa Mibuchi line of the Spo Yoshiyin Alliance was again recognized by Hatakeyama Takamasa and completely integrated the forces of the local powerful faction.

The forces of the shogunate and the local powerful factions are all mobilization power of four or five hundred thousand stones.

Outside, the Miyoshi Rokkaku family does not make trouble, and the divided shogunes have no power to borrow, as long as Ashikaga Yoshiteru has the full support of the local powerful faction, then she can steadily advance her plan.

The seizure of land and population from the shogunate gave the Ashikaga family a regain their direct leadership and a foundation for respite, rather than the rootless wood they have now.

Therefore, at this critical juncture, Sibo Yiyin must not have an accident.

Spo Yiyin is a man, and there is no heir to Spo's family. Once he has three long and two short, the Spo family will fall apart.

Then the local powerful faction will return to the appearance of being divided, and the shogunate will have no pressure, and dare to take risks to resist the oppression of the general.

In the final analysis, Ashikaga Yoshiki did not have the strength to force the shogunates to bow their heads, so he could only rely on the cooperation of local powerful factions to rectify the shogunates.

Before Yoshigin's departure, he established a strategic goal of supporting the shogun, which was explained by Akechi Mitsuhide himself to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Therefore, whether it is Ashikaga Yoshiteru out of love or out of the interests of Daigodai, neither of them wants Spa Yoshiyin to have an accident at this time.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru glanced at his father and motioned for someone to come in.

In a moment, Wise Guangxiu walked into the temple and bowed to the ground, and the person could not cry silently.

"Lord Gongfang, the Shogunate Mission is in distress in Hokuriku Province, and it is trapped in a dilemma."

If nothing else, she first emphasized the four words of the shogunate mission.

Yoshiin sent an envoy to Echigo Province, although he did so out of his own volition, but he also received an imperial order from the shogunate, and he was an official envoy on behalf of the shogunate.

Although the power of the shogunate has shrunk to within a few days, the tiger will not be defeated. When the envoys are away, the samurai will still give due courtesy.

The shogunate was supported not only by the interests within the system, but also by the ethics of the samurai society, which had been functioning for hundreds of years.

The shogun was the elder of the Genji, the pillar of the samurai family, and the source of the samurai society.

The respect given to Ashikaga Shogun is also a recognition of the merits of his ancestors.

Without the dedication of the shogun, there would be no reward from the ancestors, and there would be no cornerstone of the samurai's right to rule the region.

Therefore, without involving practical interests, the attitude of the local samurai towards the shogunate was still relatively gentle and respectful, and there were few cases of embarrassment of the ministers.

Ashikaga Yoshiki was also surprised to hear that Yoshiyin and his party were in trouble in Hokuriku Province and asked.

"What's the matter, who is stopping the mission from going to Echigo?"

"Kaga, Viethorn and China have always been feudal countries, and the Viethorne God Protector is blocking the border, with the intention of being unfavorable to the mission."

After hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiteru frowned.

The Shogunate had heard of it for a long time in Hokuriku Province, but it has been proven that the Venerable Master has always been suppressing and has barely reached a peace with the samurai.

The Echichu Jinbao family is one of the three guardian generations of Echichu, although it is in the guardian system, but the Hatakeyama clan has withdrawn from Echichu for many years, and that side has long been actually independent and has become a daimyo of one side.

These two are the kind of forces that can give or not give face to the shogunate, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru really can't force them to make concessions.

She asked.

"The Venerable Master has always kept a low profile, why is the Hokuriku Province Sect active again?"

Akechi Mitsuhide replied.

"The Venerable Master sat down at Ishiyama Honganji a few days ago, and her daughter-in-law, Honganji, is now the head of the sect."

Ashikaga Yoshiki squinted, thinking about the changes in his heart after the change of sect master, and snorted coldly.

"This group of nuns is really a thief."

The samurai society was in constant turmoil, and there was no hope for the poor at the bottom, so they numbed themselves with religion.

Faith is the sustenance that soothes the soul, and the Sect has always sunk in the grassroots of deep suffering regardless of Buddhism or transmission routes, which has won the hearts of the people and made the samurai jealous.

Ashikaga Yoshiki is also wary of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, but he is worried about everything, and he never cares about those deliberately low-key nuns.

I didn't expect that the Ichizong would change the master at this time, or replace it with the Honganji Temple, which is bent on expansion and ambition, and it seems that there will be trouble in the future.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru continued to ask.

"What's going on with the Divine Protectors, why are they blocking the mission?"

Akechi Mitsuhide said.

"I heard that the governor of the Jimbo family and the Kanto governor Uesugi Teruhu have long had a disagreement, and took the opportunity of her leaving the country to intend to cause harm.

The Lord coincided with his meeting, but it was a disaster for the fish in the pond. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki exhaled heavily, it turned out that it was a local samurai who was competing for profit, waiting for an opportunity to snipe Uesugi Teruto.

She was annoyed that no one took the shogunate seriously.

Uesugi Terutora was the Kanto governor just recognized by the shogunate, and Spo Yoshiin followed him as an envoy and went to Echigo to proclaim his edict.

This group of people was blocked in Echichu and beaten in the face of the shogunate, how could Ashikaga Yoshiki not be angry.

But the face is given by others, and the face is lost by yourself.

The shogunate is mixed up like a bear, and the local samurai who are involved in their own interests will certainly not take her as a general in their eyes.

hate, you can only hate yourself for being incompetent, and you can't deter these mercenary bastards.

Things were figured out, but Ashikaga Yoshiki found that he really couldn't help.

If this happened in the near future, with more than a hundred years of residual power and inextricable interests, the Ashikaga family would still have the influence to come forward to help.

Now that the incident happened in Yuezhong, it is a thorn like a thorn in the sect, and it is an important matter related to the interests of the Shenbao family, and there is no difference between the general speaking and letting go of the p.

Ashikaga Yoshiki glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide, thinking to himself that this Nizi came to beg me, should he not be able to block me?

The Ashikaga family fell to this point, and it was also a shame.
