At the end of this winter, Shiba Yiyin spent time in Sakai Port. It was the spring breeze that turned into rain and moistened the earth. The two waves fought, exhausting everyone...
There are Yono, Yukino, Tachibana Kanade inside, Reilu, Kristina outside, and from time to time Hosokawa Fujitaka comes to fight against the autumn wind, and the gatekeeper Kamao clan follows suit and enriches his own pockets.
As a man, I can’t say no, it’s just that my life is indeed a bit difficult.
At the beginning of the new year, the spring breeze blew away the chill that enveloped the earth. Sibo Yiyin returned to Duowen Mountain City to preside over the New Year's Review and passed two major issues.
First, the Shiba family will join forces with the Oda family to conquer the Western Kingdom.
Yoshigan Shiba sent Nizi Katsuhisa as the general of the Western Kingdom to attack the Sanin line. Hashiba Hideyoshi, the general of the Western Kingdom of the Oda family, attacked the Sanyo line.
The two sides echoed each other from the north to the south and moved forward hand in hand.
This strategy was carried out in the name of the shogunate to attack the Maori family and rescue General Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was kidnapped by the Maori family during the hunt in the west.
Regardless of whether Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself was happy or not, the Shiba Oda family used this great cause to invade the Western Kingdom, and they were righteous.
Secondly, the Sibo family officially announced the selection and restructuring of Sibo, and will implement the school district pilot within two years, and the Sibo system will gradually be opened to martial arts families all over the world.
Anyone with knowledge can participate in the Shiba selection, pass the literary and martial arts examinations, become a glorious Shiba family warrior, and enjoy the benefits of Shiba.
If the Western Kingdom Strategy sounded the clarion call to unify the world, then the Spo selection and restructuring was the first sign of the new Sbo regime, allowing the world's martial arts to see the Spo family's determination to rule the world.
As the news was announced, Mitsuhide Akechi went to Sanin to carry out frequent diplomatic work, and Fujitaka Hosokawa led troops into Tango Kingdom to promote peace and force the Isshiki family to bow their heads.
Hideyoshi Hashiba, with the support of the Kodera family and the Uki family, led his army into Harima country.
The Western Kingdom Strategy has officially begun.
And Sibo Yiyin, who is sitting in Duowen Mountain City, is not idle either. People and things come in waves, which are constantly consuming his energy every day.
———
Yiyin looked at the target in front of him, shot it in an arc, and hit the bullseye.
Takeda Yoshinobu bowed to salute his father, and Yoshigan nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is just a children's bow and the distance is only six or seven meters, the six-year-old Takeda Yoshinobu can already shoot decently, which is indeed good.
Yiyin smiled.
"Don't be proud, keep practicing, every arrow is a new beginning, don't slack off."
"Yes, Father."
Yoshigan touched his daughter's little head, it felt so good, and then walked towards Kosaka Masanobu who was smiling in the distance.
Kosaka Masanobu handed over a white towel to wipe sweat, and Yoshiyin took it casually, wiping sweat while looking at her beautiful face.
The corners of her eyes already bear traces of time, and a few slight wrinkles make this former most beautiful woman look a little tired.
Masanobu Kosaka, who is over thirty years old, has dedicated his life to three people: Takeda, whom she loves, Shiba, whom she loves, and Takeda and Shiba's daughter.
Yoshihiro was fascinated by what he was looking at, and Kosaka Masanobu's face turned red when he stared at him, and he reminded him in a low voice.
"saint.."
Yiyin came back to his senses and smiled.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to have become plumper and more beautiful."
Kosaka Masanobu said shyly.
"I am already old and pearly, but the saint's style remains the same as before."
Although he knew that Yoshiyin was telling him nice things, Kosaka Masanobu was still very happy. After all, not everyone is qualified to ask the saint to bother to say a few nice words.
The saint's willingness to say this shows that he has me in his heart.
Kosaka Masanobu looked at Yiyin's skin as smooth as a boy's and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Time is like a knife, but it has not left any trace on this saint's face. He is still the same young man, without any change.
Logically speaking, the closer a person is to a saint, the less likely they will believe in myths.
Because in the eyes of people around you, the saints have daily human joys, anger, sorrows and joys. No matter how noble the saint is, in the eyes of people around you, they are just ordinary people who need to eat, drink and relieve themselves every day.
But this convention fails with Yiyin, because he has two special effects of body protection.
The extraordinary special effects in his career make him look holy and innocent in the eyes of others at all times.
Whether it's farts or mugwort, even if your face is red from squatting, it's still dazzling and sacred.
The permanent sixteen-year-old special effect makes him look ageless.
Ten years ago he was a fifteen-year-old boy, but ten years later he still looks like a sixteen-year-old boy, which makes people sigh that the gods are indeed eternally young.
With the blessing of double special effects, the closer people get to Yiyin, the more firmly they will believe that he is not a human being. Whether he is a vixen or a living god, in short, there is absolutely no way he is a human being.
At this moment, Kosaka Masanobu looked at Yoshigan's boyishly handsome side face, and his body was inevitably flooded. After all, the two of them were really close by skin, and they could not be considered outsiders.
"Why does the saint have time today to come and see His Highness's homework?"
"What? I can't care about my daughter when I have nothing to do?"
"Foreign ministers don't dare."
The two of them stood in the distance, watching Takeda Yoshinobu's efforts in drawing the bow, wanting to show his best side to his father.
Takeda Yoshinobu would look back at his father from time to time to see if he was really looking at him shooting arrows.
Yoshigan was making gestures to cheer for Takeda Yoshinobu, while talking to Kosaka Masanobu with some resentment in his tone.
"Takeda Shingen has gone too far."
Kosaka Masanobu smiled and looked at His Highness in the distance. His Highness was very excited today. In order to show his father what he was capable of, he shot really hard.
"Foreign ministers are frightened."
Yiyin glanced at Masanobu Kosaka next to him and said helplessly.
"What a fright! You, the emperor and your ministers, are just working together to bully me."
"Why did the saint say this?"
At this moment, Takeda Yoshinobu shot another arrow and hit the target. He turned around in excitement and raised his hand to shake the bow and arrow.
Yiyin and Kosaka Masanobu applauded at the same time and praised her.
After the child went to prepare another arrow, Yiyin snorted and said.
"Takeda Shingen and Satake Yoshige jointly submitted a letter, denounced the Edo family of Baba City for ignoring Tianen and having ulterior motives in order to avoid loan interest for counterpart assistance.
Nonsense interest! Winter has just passed, and the seeds for spring plowing have not yet been planted in the ground, but they are already eager to collect debts? Do you think I am Spo Papi?
Satake Yoshige should be very clear that before the summer and autumn harvests, every household in Hitachi Kingdom would have no surplus food and could only rely on food assistance from their counterparts.
By cooperating with Takeda Shingen at this time, is she planning to directly force the Edo family to death, or is she going to force the Edo family to rebel?
I heard that Takeda Shingen privately changed the name of the Edo family's Baba Castle. What is it called Mito Castle? What? Takeda Shingen is already planning to live in Mito Castle as a residence?
I knew that the Satake family and the Edo family were separated in the north and south of Hitachi Province, and there were conflicts in the world, but I didn’t expect that Takeda Shingen would also get involved, so she really wanted to be the Mito Yellow Gate to uphold justice?"
Kosaka Masanobu comforted him.
"The saint has misunderstood. My Highness has no ill intentions, but is just taking precautions to prevent the people below from taking the saint's kindness for granted.
His Highness Satake Yoshitaka felt the same way. He was afraid that the samurai families in Hitachi Kingdom did not know what was good and what was bad, so they were just preparing for a rainy day.
But what is the Mito Yellow Gate you are talking about? It sounds like an official position in the Emperor's court?"
Yiyin shook his head.
"Don't worry about the Mito Yellow Gate. Let's just talk about the Edo family in Baba City and the local samurai family in Hitachi Province Nansansankan.
Don't think I don't know, Takeda Shingen wants to join forces with Satake Yishige to kill the unruly thorns in these places.
The blame falls on Yoshige Satake. Anyway, she stole money and food and will go to Dewa Country sooner or later, so she is not afraid of being a villain and offending the locals.
Takeda Shingen can cleanly take over the southern part of Hitachi Kingdom, settle in Mito Castle, and slowly squeeze the Ota Castle of the Satake family in the north, allowing Satake Yoshitaka to get out of the house.
These two people are a pair of foxes.
Not only did he want to bypass the Imperial Order of Peace in Kanto, but he also wanted the Edo family to die. He also righteously proposed to me to establish a tax police corps to be responsible for the interest repayment of counterpart assistance.
Are they going to use this excuse to go to each house to clean up the situation, not to talk about fighting and fighting, but only to talk about violent tax resistance?"
Kosaka Masanobu listened to Yoshigan's complaints, but it seemed that there were only complaints and no real dissatisfaction with the Takeda family. He gradually felt relieved and even wanted to laugh a little.
To be continued...
