Yiyin thought for a long time, organized his thoughts, and then said sincerely.
"His Royal Highness Shenbao understands the great righteousness and should set an example for the Yue-China martial arts family.
The system of three guardians in Yuezhong has been implemented for many years, and it is difficult to continue it if there are scum of the Wu family like Shiina Kangyin.
I will deprive her of her duty as a guardian with the sword command, and from now on Yuezhong will be entrusted to Your Highness."
Yiyin kowtowed slightly, and the chief priest quickly bowed deeply in return.
Although the two of them had already agreed on this, since there was no sword control before, Yoshigan had to report it to the shogunate if he wanted to facilitate this matter.
China and Kyoto are thousands of miles apart. If the shogunate side is wrangling, it is common for the matter to be delayed for half a year or even several years.
A few years are enough for the Wu family to rise and fall in the world, and the world has changed dramatically. Therefore, the post of Shenbao Chang was not taken seriously.
Now that Yiyin Yujian is in hand, the order is equivalent to the general's order. He can handle the matter directly and send someone to Kyoto to inform him.
Regardless of whether there is a guardian duty or not, the divine guardian duty can suppress Shiina Yasuin.
However, after many years of fighting between the three guardians of Ezhong, the Jinbo family finally won and took sole control of Ezhong, which still made the Jinbo family feel refreshed.
Yiyin continued sincerely.
"This time during my trip to Kanto, I made an appointment with the Echizen Tsuruga Governor and Asakura Sotiko. I also informed the Noto Hatakeyama family governor Yoshitsune of my intention to reorganize the Hokurikudo trade route."
The Chief Divine Protector thought for a while and said.
"Does the imperial office want to take the sea route?"
Hokuriku Road has always been a small and unstable place, and merchants only dare to sell goods in small batches. The benefits to the local samurai family are only a drop in the bucket.
If you want to ship large quantities of goods, you can only bypass the territory controlled by Yixiang Zong, and sea route is the only effective way.
Yiyin nodded.
Yoshigan could not allow Uesugi Teruhora to send troops to Echuchu to help Jinbo Nagasaki fight, so the establishment of the alliance would require giving in to other interests in exchange for her understanding.
He put aside the matter of Terutora Uesugi and discussed the Hokuriku Road trade route first, which indeed aroused the interest of Jinbo Nagasaki.
The foundation of the Wu family is land, because land carries population and food, and is the basis of military force. But if you want long-term peace and stability, land alone is not enough.
The land is limited, the output is limited, and there are fewer security conditions. To appease the military families under his command, one has to rely on other benefits, such as increased salary through business profits.
If the chief minister of the gods can feed the local martial arts family, he will be able to secure his position in Yuezhong and confront the Yi Xiangzong who has won the hearts of the grassroots people.
Yoshiun also needs Jinbo Nagasaki to rely on the interests of the Hokurikudo trade route and deeply tie the relationship between the two parties to prevent her from being persuaded to stab Echigo in the back when she becomes more powerful.
Kasugayama Castle, the residence of Teru Uesugi, is close to the Vietnam-China border. The Vietnam-China side is not peaceful, so Teru Uesugi can't even hope for peace.
Yiyin continued.
"As long as Lord Sotechi, His Highness Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna, and His Highness Teru Uesugi unite.
Echizen Tsuruga Bay, Noto Peninsula Nanao Bay, and Echigo Naoetsu will form a stable harbor road.
This road has been around since ancient times, it is very mature and profits can be realized quickly.
The Shiba family had a garrison at Sakai Port, and the merchants carried out the business. The goods from Sakai Port would pass through Kyoto along the Yodo River, then go to Seta River and enter Lake Biwa, and then land on the Kita Omi River.
Then we entered Echizen Tsuruga County and boarded the ship directly to leave the port for trade with Kanto.
The forces of the Miyoshi family in Settsu have no intention of making the shogunate an enemy, and the Kitaomi Asai family has made good friends with me. If everything goes well, we can start operations this summer."
The Chief Divine Protector was shocked when he heard this. The layout of this imperial office was so big.
Everything was arranged clearly, and as soon as Uesugi Teruhu returned to Echigo, the trade route would be launched.
she asked.
"What can I, the Divine Protector, gain from this?"
Yiyin replied.
"Nanao Bay is adjacent to Toyama Bay. Although Vietnam and China do not have as good conditions as Nanao Port for long-distance voyages to Shenzhen and Shenzhen, there are many small trading towns along the coast.
The Noto Hatakeyama family is a branch of the Hatakeyama family and has a close relationship with the Etchu Jimbo family. You can contact Lord Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna to distribute goods from Nanao Port.
I can decide on the goods from Sakai Port, and I can give you a 30% discount on the price."
My heart is pounding for the long post of divine protector.
The Noto Hatakeyama family has a close relationship with the Hatakeyama clan. They have long been arbitrators in disputes between the three guardian generations of Ezhong and have a good relationship with the Jimbo family.
Noto Hatakeyama's retainer group became stronger, and the governor was marginalized. Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna had no choice but to sit in Nanao Castle and struggle to support him.
If she took the Hokuriku Maritime Route, she would surely be able to relax and regain her composure.
And if he takes the initiative to contact her, he will be attracted as a foreign aid to check and balance Noto's retainers, and they will definitely not refuse distribution cooperation.
The coast of Toyama Bay in central Vietnam is long and has many small ports. Not to mention other things, Toyama Castle, which is built along the water, and its castle town can also be regarded as a port town.
The cost of the sea route is low, and it is much cheaper to get the goods than the land route. The price is also reduced by 30% from the Sakai Port. The profit is enough to ensure a long-term job and feed the close Yue-Chong samurai family, stabilizing the basic market.
In the past, Hokuriku maritime merchants mostly exported specialty products from the Northeast, with small quantities and low profits.
Nowadays, with the cheap goods from Sakai Port, it is difficult not to make a fortune. The sincerity of Shiba Yiyin is very high.
The chief priest bowed.
"Thank you, Otai Suo."
Yiyin smiled and waved his hands, disapprovingly.
When exporting goods from Sakai Port, it is impossible to leave Kanto without several times the profit. That stingy Takada Yono is not willing to let the goods go unless he drains the profits.
Not to mention giving away 30% of the profit, even giving 50% of the profit would make the Spo family a lot of money. This is the power of monopoly.
The only one who can deal with so many samurai families along the way is Shiba Yiyin. No one else can do this business if they want to.
But as Yoshiyin spoke, the divine protector Nagashi already felt something was wrong.
If the imperial minister was really just on a mission to Echigo, why would he need to win over the samurai from all over Hokuriku to create such a large-scale logistics trade route?
she asked tentatively.
"Why did Odaisho go to Echigo?"
Yiyin smiled inwardly, the drama was coming.
If you want Shenbo Changji to sincerely maintain the alliance, you must not only feed her with the benefits of the trade route, but also raise a political banner.
The Wu family values profits. In other words, as long as the benefits are sufficient, they will fall out!
He was willing to sacrifice his blood to buy a long-term position as a divine protector, so there was no chance that someone else would offer a higher price than him. He had to be careful.
Therefore, it is necessary to pull out a tiger skin of sufficient weight so that the God of War will not dare to rebel casually and sincerely form an alliance with Teru Uesugi.
If it is heavy enough, the only flag that can be used is the shogunate.
Yiyin pretended to be a mysterious person.
"Years ago, the Hojo family destroyed the Yamauchi Uesugi family, and the Kanto governor Kenmasa Uesugi fled to Echigo alone, and was taken in by His Highness Teruhora Kamishiro."
The divine protector Changji frowned and listened patiently.
"Subsequently, she adopted Uesugi Teruhora as her adopted daughter, and that's when she went to Luo."
The chief priest was sweating a little.
"The general recognized Teru Uesugi as the commander-in-chief of Kanto and ordered me to follow her to Echigo to consolidate the Echigo samurai's platform.
Only in this way can we send troops to the Guandong Plain to bring order to the chaos."
The chief god protector took a deep breath, he had frightened himself.
Fortunately, fortunately I didn't kill Uesugi Teruhora.
So that's the case, no wonder the Odaisho went to Echigo in person, no wonder the general sent the sword from thousands of miles away, and he almost ruined a major event of the shogunate.
The more I thought about the post of divine protection, the more I became afraid, and I no longer had any thoughts of betraying him.
The dispute between Kanto and Kansai has been going on since ancient times. Not to mention the Ashikaga family's own division, the Kamakura prince raised his flag to fight against the shogunate.
In order to eradicate this hidden danger, the shogunate sent people from the Ise family to the Izu Kingdom to cause rebellion, which really overthrew the Kamakura Lord, the Kanto shogun.
It was just that the people were so weak that the powerful Ise branch dared to pretend to be the Hojo family and began to conquer the Kanto Plain. They also killed two prominent Kanto families and two Shangshan families.
Seeing that the Hojo family became powerful, there would be another Kanto general. The shogunate took action again to support Echigo Uesugi Teruhora and sent troops to the Kanto plain to confront the Hojo family.
After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, the god protector Changzhi was so scared that he lost his mind. What on earth had he done?
In a broad sense, Hokurikudo belongs to Kanto, but the Kanto that really confronts the shogunate refers to the narrow sense in which the Kanto shoguns govern the ten kingdoms of Kanto.
She held the position of a divine protector and devoted herself to conquering Xinchuan County. What she pursued was the ambition of the divine protector family to unify Yuezhong. Who would have thought that she would be involved in the world-wide event of the Kansai-Kanto conflict.
The water here is too deep. If the Jimbo family is not powerful enough to wade through the muddy water, it will be crushed into powder if they are not careful.
After listening to Yi Gin's words, the divine protector already knew what he should do.
She kowtowed to the ground and solemnly promised Yiyin.
"The Chief Divine Protector swore to the ancestors of the Divine Protector family throughout the generations that he would be loyal to the shogunate and the general.
It is clear to the public that my alliance with Teru Uesugi is sincere and we will never be perfunctory."
Yiyin nodded with satisfaction.
How long the alliance can last depends only on the mutual interests of both parties. If you swear to the sky that you are lying, you will be done with it.
However, Shenbao Changzhi's attitude is sincere. Before she defeats the Yuezhong Yixiang clan and develops greater ambitions, the alliance between the two parties can be maintained and can be trusted.
Morally, Yoshiyin deprived Shiina Yasuyin of her guardianship and gave her legal support.
During the transaction, Yiyin used the benefits of the Hokuriku Road trade route to tie her up and let her get the benefits.
Finally, he used the non-existent guise of shogunate strategy to fool her, scaring her away from making mistakes and strengthening her political determination to safeguard the alliance.
The three-pronged approach finally made this troublesome Shenbao family governor bow his head and completed his strategic intention in the direction of Vietnam and China.
Yiyin exhaled and relaxed his mind following the expression of the divine protector, his temples were a little swollen.
