Time passed and another two years passed.
The reopening of trade and exploration has injected new vitality into the island country's economy, and the US Federal Reserve has also taken advantage of the trend and switched from raising interest rates to cutting interest rates to engage in economic construction.
Economic growth has made life easier for the islanders, and the hostility of the southwestern princes towards Uesugi Yoshikage has become a sourceless water that cannot last long.
Takeda Nizi joined forces to conquer Maori, and the twelve samurai families of the Western Kingdom broke away from the samurai alliance led by the Maori family. The huge Maori family collapsed in an instant, and they could not die anymore.
Kitakyushu has been cleaned up more thoroughly. It is a fertile land in the southwest, and there are core port straits such as Hakata and Shimonoseki that connect overseas trade. It must be controlled by the Shiba family.
Local famous names such as Otomo Ryuzoji were swept into the dustbin of history one by one. Only the Shimazu family in southern Kyushu was tolerated by Uesugi Yoshikage.
That's because Shimazu's territory is desolate and out of reach. It's not something he doesn't want to do, but he really can't.
In the spring of this year, the provisional shogunate in Kyoto held a major review as scheduled, and the United Front members from all over the country went to Luo as representatives of local martial arts to participate in state affairs.
The entire United Front unanimously voted to approve the opening of Sibo, and stated that the supreme leader of the Wu family can only be born among the descendants of Sibo.
For example, in the story of the White Horse Alliance, only the descendants of Sibo can be called the pillars. Anyone who is not a descendant of Sibo and dares to overstep will be punished by the whole world.
From then on, only those descended from Sibo were qualified to serve as the pillars of the Wu family and become the masters of the world.
Uesugi Yoshikage became the first Shogun Shiba, changed the name of Miao to Shiba Yoshikage, and officially opened in Kyoto.
From then on, once the descendants of each family of Sibo gods became the pillars of the Wu family and became the masters of the world, they would change their Miao name to Sibo and be known as General Sibo in history.
Under the warm applause of all the United Front members, the provisional shogunate announced its dissolution and the opening of Spo. From then on, the Sbo shogunate became the only legal government of the island country, also known as the Sbo theocracy.
General Sibo has a dual identity. One is the heir of God, and the other is the pillar of the martial arts family. The two complement each other and become the double insurance of rule.
While Kyoto was celebrating the ascension of General Yoshikage Shiba in full swing, Mitsuhide Akechi came to Tamonyama Castle in a low-key manner and met with Yoshihiro Shiba, a saint who had been hiding behind the scenes for many years.
———
Duowen Mountain City, living in the courtyard.
Yiyin sat by the pond and glanced at his castle tower not far away. The reflection in the sun was a bit dazzling, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Akechi Mitsuhide, who is next to him, is in his forties. He has worked hard over the years, and now his hair is already covered with white hair, which is unevenly sticking out among his black hair, showing his age.
She looked at Yiyin, who looked like a sixteen-year-old boy as before. He was still as youthful and energetic under the sunlight, and she couldn't help but swayed, as if she had returned to the time when they first met twenty-three years ago.
In recent years, the mothers of various divine descendants have been reluctant to come to Tawen Mountain Castle to have an audience, even the youngest Date Masamune.
Just because of Yiyin's ageless appearance, Zhu Ji felt ashamed of herself. Faced with Yiyin's youthful appearance for twenty-three years, which woman would not feel inferior?
And Yiyin's appearance of always being sixteen years old also made the theory of living gods deeply rooted, pushing the dominance of Sibo's theocracy to a higher peak.
Yiyin threw a handful of fish food into the pond, and the koi came from all directions, vying for the food.
He looked back at the dazed Akechi Mitsuhide and smiled.
"Why don't you say anything? Are you here just to be in a daze?"
Akechi Mitsuhide put away his sadness, suppressed his own shame, and answered with a smile in front of the beautiful young man.
"I have violated my decency, and I ask the saint to forgive me."
Yiyin shook his head.
"There are no outsiders here. Don't be like this. Over the years, everyone has put me on a high pedestal, making it difficult for me to find someone to express my true feelings to. It's really uncomfortable."
Akechi Mitsuhide covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Although Ii Naomasa has taken it back, isn't Matsukami Sarei still waiting for you?"
Akechi Mitsuhide's ridicule made Yoshigan sigh. After all, Matsukami Sae was not lucky enough to have a godly descendant. She had been depressed to the naked eye in the past few years.
Since she did not have a godly child, she did not dare to grow her ambitions. The Tongxin Secretariat had been handed over to Takeda Yoshinobu, and she herself served Yoshinobu honestly.
Akechi Mitsuhide's mouth is full of wickedness. She will prick whatever makes others uncomfortable.
Yiyin said helplessly.
"You, you still don't forgive me."
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"I'm just talking about it, but it's not as good as His Highness Yoshikage. Oh no, now I should call you General, Lord Gongfang.
She is really awesome.
In five years, he slowly cleaned up the southwest and built his own team. Under the one-country-one-city order, he forced the southwest princes to rebel and suppress him several times. The southwest was cleaned up much cleaner than the saint in Guandong.
As expected, she is worse than her master. Saint, you are not as good as her in this regard."
Yiyin curled his lips.
"If I were as cruel as that girl Yoshikage, would you still be alive today? Think about all the bad things you did back then!"
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly.
"Yes, it is only because of the saint's mercy that I dare to be unscrupulous.
The latest chapter of this novel is first released, please go and read it!
Now that General Sibo has taken office, the new officer must be appointed with three firepowers. I am also afraid that I will do something bad and be harmed by others.
You know, I have many enemies."
Yiyin sighed.
"Then what do you want?"
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"I want to go to Kyushu. The country of Tamba is too close to Kyoto. With me, a poisonous man, sitting next to me, the general feels uncomfortable and I am also frightened.
It is better to fly far away, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away."
Yiyin scoffed.
"to be honest."
Akechi Mitsuhide chuckled.
"You still understand me.
Shimazu has been a local leader since the Kamakura shogunate period, and has thrived in Southern Kyushu for four hundred years. His forces are so intertwined that no matter whether it is Ichijo Hideyoshi or General Shiba, there is nothing he can do against them.
I want to change the seal to Kyushu and spend the rest of my life working for the Shiba family to eradicate this hidden danger."
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Yoshiun affectionately.
Her ambition in this life is to bring peace to the world and to help the man she loves to re-establish order. Now that the world is at peace, everything from Kansai to Kanto is under the control of the Shiba family. Only the Shimazu family in Minami Kyushu...
It took four hundred years for the Shimadzu family to take root in Southern Kyushu. The local wealthy families are all of Shimadzu blood, and it is difficult to eradicate them. Even if one Shimadzu family is forcibly wiped out, countless Shimadzu will stand up and inherit the family.
Akechi Mitsuhide could only spend the rest of his life cooperating with the center of the Shiba shogunate, constantly using conspiracies and tricks to weaken Shimazu, and completely remove this nail.
Moreover, this matter is beneficial to the wisdom of the gods.
Yoshihiro sighed inwardly, Akechi Mitsuhide was really powerful, she could see through at a glance the fear that the new General Shiba Yoshikage had towards the Shimazu family.
Yoshikage Shiba, a time traveler, is more familiar with the history of the island country than Yoshigan, so he is more wary of the Mori family and the Shimazu family.
The Mori family has been eradicated by the deeply hated Nizi and Takeda families, so the existence of the Shimazu family becomes even more conspicuous.
Mitsuhide Akechi took the initiative to share the worries, but it scratched Yoshikage Shiba's itch.
In the process of killing the Shimazu family, the Kami Akechi family will definitely receive strong support from Shiba Yoshikage, which will be of great benefit.
