Chapter 104 Dead Game

 Asai Nagamasa thought, this was indeed the truth, but Akao Kiyosuna on the side did not think so.

"There is something missing in what Haibei-sama said. Although the Fujido people are from Inugami County, but this time my family went south, they are under Shiba Gozen's command. Now that they are sent to Shiba Gozen, it makes sense.

Those martial arts families from the three counties have submitted letters of allegiance to His Highness. If they send it back to the Imperial Palace, they are betraying my family, and my family will naturally make them pay the price.

There are huge differences between the two, so how can we generalize them?"

Akao Kiyosuna couldn't stand the tricks of these advisers, so what was the use of instigating his master's family to be hostile to Imperial Majesty Shiba.

There is no such thing as a strategist in this world who is powerless. Tsunachika Kaiboku and Sasaki Aguki are also warriors who can go into battle to kill the enemy.

But at most they were commanding in the formation. How could the fierce generals Akao Kiyosuna and Isono Emasa charge in front of the formation understand how terrifying Yoshigami Shiba was.

The Rokkaku family is a powerful samurai family that has been suppressed by successive shoguns and has been entrenched in Minami Omi for hundreds of years. The horse warriors who guard the shogunate of the main camp, the nearly hundred princess samurai, are not afraid of death, and there are also those reserve troops on standby in the rear camp.

Everyone said that Asai Nagamasa's charge into the formation attracted the attention of the Rokkaku main formation, allowing Shiba Yoshigan to take advantage of it.

But for the generals who have been fighting on the front line all year round, is that really a gap? That is the gate of hell! If you can do it, go up and give it a try!

This kind of ruthless person who can bring fifty or sixty warriors from the country to overwhelm the Rokkaku Yoshiken shogunate, you who love to play tricks, go and provoke him yourself, don't take us. Only when your brain is touched by a knife will you know who is tough and who is soft.

Being scolded by Akao Kiyosuna, Tsusuna Kaiboku still refused to give up and said:

"What about the shogunate? I heard that Shiba Gozen was able to mobilize the people of Todo Hall by relying on the imperial flag to divide the imperial family members.

Now he has put the method of sending in the Todo hall into his pocket. How can the shogunate tolerate such an ambitious behavior?"

The master and the two generals looked puzzled. The territory of ten thousand shi was not small, but would it make the shogunate angry?

Haibei Tsunauchi and Aguan Zhenzheng looked at each other and sighed. Although the three superior ladies had heard of the imperial family, they were not professionals in thinking about strategies after all. They could not figure out the key and needed an adviser to analyze it.

The two advisers had repeatedly discussed before coming. After the shogunate learned of Yoshihiro Shiba's actions, the relationship between the two parties would inevitably deteriorate. If the Asai family wanted to maintain good cooperation with the shogunate, alienating Yoshihiro Shiba was what they had to do.

As the details before and after the Omi War reached Kyoto, Ben's unanimous praise for Yoshihiro Shiba gradually reversed course.

Mibuchi Haru's complexion is getting better and better, and he is in high spirits during happy events. These days, Mibuchi Haru has been summoned to the Imperial Palace several times by the shogun to discuss affairs, and his status in the Ashikaga Shogunate has been rising.

The Wu family members who had been estranged before all looked at each other and got close to each other again. Although she felt resentful, she also understood the reason and pretended that nothing happened and continued to communicate.

The good-natured nature of a good old man is very beneficial. No, the Mibuchi family is so easy to talk to, which naturally broadens their horizons and earns constant praise from the shogunate.

Today at the mansion tearoom, she carefully prepared famous tea snacks to entertain her sister Hosokawa Motonsune.

Hosokawa Fujitaka was confined to the Izumi Hosokawa family residence in Kyoto a few days ago. His confinement was lifted when the family governor came to Kyoto. This time he came with his adoptive mother to meet his biological mother.

The three women were sipping tea indoors, each thinking silently. There was a moment of silence, and only the fragrance of tea overflowed.

Hosokawa Motonsune looks about five points like Mibuchi Haru, with a solemn face and dignified every move.

The Izumi-Hosokawa family and the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi are already the only powerful local factions left in the shogunate. They have a noble status in the shogunate where most of the three governors and four positions have declined, and the family governors have their own dignity.

Mibuchi Haru seems to be much mediocre. Although she has a good character, she is naive in her behavior and causes ridiculous things from time to time.

If she hadn't come from the Izumi Hosokawa family, it's hard to say what the Sanbuchi family would be like today.

There was nothing Hosokawa Mototsune could do about this incompetent sister. Call it scolding. The sisters had been close since childhood and there was no conflict of rights. Why bother to embarrass the sister?

What's more, her adopted daughter is her younger sister's biological daughter, smart and sensible, and she is very satisfied that the Izumi-Hosokawa family has a successor.

Normally, I just let her do some things, and just wipe my butt occasionally. But this time, this sister really did something extraordinary, and her sister was also in trouble.

After taking a sip of tea, Hosokawa Motonsune said lightly.

"From today onwards, the Sanyuan family and the Shiba family will no longer have any contact with each other."

Mibuchi Haru looked at her sister in surprise, not knowing why.

"Sister, the past few days have been so difficult, but you have never said anything like this. Now that the Yiyin child has achieved success, you are asking the Sanyuan family to turn their backs on him?"

Hosokawa Motonsune glared at her.

"Before was before, now is now."

Too lazy to talk to this simple-minded sister, I glanced at my daughter sitting aside.

Hosokawa Fujitaka looked bitter and explained to his mother in a low voice.

"You were having a hard time before because you did something wrong with good intentions. You gave the imperial flag to Shiba Yigen and made it difficult for the shogunate.

This was an unintentional mistake. The ministers felt unhappy, but they could understand it. With the Izumi-Hosokawa family here, who would dare to really embarrass you?

But now, what Shiba Yigen did in Omi has been carefully reported back, and I am afraid that it will not end well in the future. If you continue to get entangled in it, no one can protect you."

Hosokawa Fujitaka said with pain in his heart. The imperial family and the manor were sending mails. These sounded like things Akechi Mitsuhide did. This time, Yoshigina Shiba was killed by this seemingly harmless best friend.

Sanbuchi Haru didn't understand and said.

"The people of this country, who favored the royal family, actually had such fighting power and were willing to sacrifice their land and population. The general was shocked and very interested in this.

If the people of recent times think this way, and there is hope for the revival of the shogunate, how can it be a bad thing?"

Hosokawa Motonsune and his daughter shook their heads helplessly. This Mibuchi Haru member had a good fate. He was born in the Izumi Hosokawa family, adopted into the Mibuchi family and was regarded as the apple of his eye. He had never suffered any hardship. He was a kind person, but he was too simple.

Without family support, he would have been killed long ago.

The bad thing about this is that the general was tempted and wanted to improve the status of the countrymen, and touched the interests of the ministers and even all the high-ranking military families. How could the instigator Yoshihiro Shiba have a good ending?

There was such an uproar that even the Izumi Hosokawa family had to avoid it, otherwise they might be killed together.

This matter has to start with the Kamakura Shogunate.

At that time, the Wu family moved forward from the manor and formed an early Wu family based on the manor economy.

Later, Yoritomo Minamoto became the shogun, and the samurai under his command were rewarded with status and land, and these samurai were recognized as imperial families.

The name itself means Genji's own family, which is the origin of the imperial family system.

The Kamakura shogunate was the first generation of shoguns. The system was simple and simple under the shogunate. Under the shogunate were the imperial family.

As long as the Wu family works hard to serve the public, they can become an imperial family member, which opens up a channel for rising status, so they are deeply loved by the Wu family.

However, land is limited and cannot be given infinitely. Even if the second generation of the Genji family was usurped, the Hojo family still restrained in granting imperial family status after they came to power.

But Yuan Meng's attack broke everything. In order to defend the attacked Kyushu, the Kamakura shogunate recruited a large number of samurai to fight, and finally repelled Yuan Meng's invasion.

Since the samurai were serving the throne, they naturally asked for rewards, but how could the Kamakura shogunate have so much land, money and food to reward them.

In my previous life, I had to ask my grandfather to sue my grandma to get paid. How could the Wu family be in such trouble? They picked up a knife and rebelled. Therefore, the Kamakura shogunate was actually poor.

But the imperial family still cherished the kindness of the Kamakura shogunate. With this good impression, Ashikaga Takauji was able to gather 80,000 imperial family members in Kyushu and fight back to Kyoto to establish the Muromachi shogunate. But she also faced the same problem, poverty.

So, she changed her approach. The two-level relationship between the shogunate and the imperial family became a three-level relationship between the shogunate, the guardian daimyo, and the samurai family.

The shogunate directly governs the guardians in various places, and the guardians are responsible for their own domestic affairs.

After abandoning the imperial family system, although the shogunate lost its direct jurisdiction over various places, it also loosened its financial burden.

After arranging for the separation of relatives and close samurai families to serve as guardians of various places, the samurai families in each country are managed by the guardians.

Countries also need to pay for the shogunate's imperial palace. The Ashikaga family's imperial palace supports the shogunate's expenses, but does not have to bear the rewards of samurai families from all over the world. This is how the third generation of shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has an unrivaled 3,000 Ashikaga horses.

But this system turned its back on the lower-level martial arts families and completely left them to the exploitation of high-level martial arts families.

The title of imperial family member has become a status symbol. The descendants of imperial family members are still imperial family members, and the descendants of Chinese people and local servants are still Chinese and local servants.

Under the guardianship system, the path of advancement for the martial arts family was monopolized by high-level martial arts families, and people from all over the country could no longer get ahead.

Now, the imperial palace has been swallowed up by samurai families from all over the world, and the Muromachi shogunate relies on the donations from samurai families from all over the world.

Yoshigan Saba once again activated the imperial family system to release the power of local people. Of course, Ashikaga Shogun was very interested in this move.

However, the ministers of the shogunate, the guardians and guardians of various places, and the high-ranking warriors of each family.

Who wants to see those Chinese servants rise up, who wants to be ministers in the same palace as these mud-legged people, who wants to be replaced by his mediocre descendants competing with these outstanding country warriors.

Therefore, Shiba Yiyin must die!
