Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-fifth: Confessing the Thief
Chihime Fujiwara officially became the daimyo of Kyoto and announced it to the entire people of Kyoto.
Yin Wa and Li Wei jointly drafted a "Message to the Hojo". The content was roughly that the Kyoto daimyo brought trouble to the feudal counties, the aristocrats of the aristocratic families drove up the price of rice, the samurai retainers bullied men and women, and our Fujiwara family took office at a time when demons were causing trouble. , was ordered to revive Kyoto in times of crisis.
Of course, to the people, it doesn't matter who becomes the daimyo. Unless some kind of Shet-like Junguoism is implemented, anyone can take the position of daimyo.
However, after the Fujiwara family became daimyo, they immediately implemented three laws. First, they lowered the price of rice, which was originally more than ten times higher than before the disaster. It was reduced to between 1.5 and 2 times the price before the disaster. It should not exceed 2 times.
The second point is that the entire Kyoto tax revenue will be halved in the next three years.
The third point is that nobles break the law and the common people are equally guilty.
As soon as these three orders came out, the people in Kyoto rushed to tell each other, and everyone was very happy.
The people at the bottom don't know what political struggle is, but they definitely know what good guys and bad guys are.
All you need to do is list the crimes of the former Hojo Daimyo that are closely related to the people, and then apply favors. The people only need to compare the tax revenue of the Hojo Daimyo with the current tax, and then all the crimes of the Hojo Daimyo will be confirmed.
The Fujiwara family naturally became a daimyo supported by everyone, and the bottom-level work in Kyoto could be carried out very smoothly.
On the other hand, Li Wei began to establish an inspection system and an intelligence system.
Set up a hidden ninja village and recruit a large number of homeless orphans with spiritual qualifications to train them into ninjas.
The ninja squad began to be divided into the ANBU and the Intelligence Department. The Intelligence Department was responsible for collecting intelligence and hiding. The ANBU was responsible for combat and assassination.
Now, the main task of the ninjas, in addition to collecting information about monsters and the Genji shogunate, is to supervise all noble officials in Kyoto.
Anyone who dares to reach out or disobey Levi's system will be recorded by the ninjas one by one.
In this way, the new ninja village system instantly became a knife in the head of all noble officials in Kyoto.
Although it looks like the system of Ninja Village, Li Wei basically used Zhu Baba's Jinyiwei system and the subsequent East-West Factory system.
The Anbu is equivalent to the Guards, the Intelligence Department is equivalent to the East Factory, and the Ninja Village is equivalent to the West Factory.
As for the samurai squad, it belongs to the regular army, not a spy agency.
If this system continues, the entire capital will enter an era of ruthless rule. The gentry and officials are all in danger, and the samurai class will not dare to make mistakes or violate the prohibitions.
But for ordinary people in Kyoto, they found that public security had improved, taxes had been reduced, and there were no more samurai nobles killing people in the streets.
The whole of Kyoto began to prosper.
Li Wei also moved most of his forces to Fujiwara Prefecture. Although Arashiyama is located in a steep place and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, because it is a large mountain and was originally a shrine, it completely restricted its subsequent development and growth.
Of course, Levi did not give up on Lanshan, because the interceptor factory was built there, and Lanshan was an extinct volcano containing a large amount of resources and minerals. Li Wei planned to gradually develop Lanshan into an industrial zone.
Yin Wa has already reproduced smokeless gunpowder in this era, and improved the old-fashioned shotguns and explosive shells made by craftsmen into serious flintlock shotguns and fragmentation grenades.
After giving Yinwa a period of time, it can complete the upgrade from a flintlock rifle to a revolver. At that time, it will be a complete dimensionality reduction strike.
Times are about to change, my lord.
…
The Genji shogunate in the capital also received news that the Fujiwara family in Kyoto had become a daimyo.
Moreover, when the shogun Minamoto Yoritomo saw the "Essay on Hojo" written by Livy, he became furious and killed several palace maids on the spot to vent his anger.
"How can this be unreasonable? How can Fujiwara be so unreasonable!" Minamoto no Yoritomo gritted his teeth and became so angry that he broke countless objects.
Li Wei's appeal against thieves can be said to be precise, and it not only points directly at the Hojo daimyo, but also at the shogunate. Oh, the Fujiwara family is a member of the Emperor, so isn't the Minamoto family a member of the Emperor?
Among the great nobles of the entire Sakura Country, who is not related to the Emperor in their ancestors? Who doesn’t have a drop of God’s blood in their body?
Not only that, but what makes General Minamoto no Yoritomo angry the most is that today Li Wei can use the excuse of cleaning up the demons to kill the Hojo Daimyo. Then, can he use the Kiyoshi side or the excuse of rescuing the emperor to deal with the Minamoto shogunate tomorrow?
"Inform everyone to complete all preparations within three days and mobilize the troops to attack Kyoto. Contact Nara Castle in the south of Kyoto, Fengdu in the north, and Satsuma Clan in the west to join me in attacking Kyoto, attack from all sides, and kill the Fujiwara clan!
"Yoritomo Minamoto immediately ordered.
"Hayin!"
"The monk soldiers immediately opened the road to Kyoto and ensured that the monsters and monsters along the way were eliminated."
"Hayin!"
After the entire Genji shogunate was mobilized, Emperor Go-Shirakawa, who was in the Imperial Palace, also received information about the Fujiwara clan's succession to the Kyoto daimyo, as well as Li Wei's article against thieves.
After reading the proclamation, Emperor Goshirakawa laughed wildly. He had a premonition that his chance to make a comeback was coming.
Since becoming a puppet of the Genji shogunate, he has completely lost all power, and even has to be very cautious in obtaining information, for fear of being known by Minamoto Yoritomo.
For twenty years, he had not even been able to leave his own Emperor's Palace. He could only read books, drink alcohol, and be with the same women every day. Rather than being an emperor, he was even as free as a prisoner.
He immediately bit his finger, wrote a "Message to the Genji" with blood and gave it to the ninja, who asked the ninja to hand the message to the Fujiwara clan in Kyoto.
By driving out the wolf and devouring the tiger, both sides will suffer losses, and then he can raise his arms and regain power.
He is a descendant of the gods who came from the west. He was born between heaven and earth. How could he live in depression for a long time under human beings?
If the Genji shogunate wins, he will still be the emperor without any change. If the Fujiwara clan wins, he can still take advantage of it. At worst, he will become the puppet of the Fujiwara clan.
His mother is from the Fujiwara clan, his grandmother is from the Fujiwara clan, and his grandmother is from the Fujiwara clan.
In terms of seniority, Emperor Go-Shirakawa was still the uncle of the current head of the Fujiwara clan.
This relationship is that even if you become the puppet of the Fujiwara clan, it is better than becoming the puppet of that warrior Minamoto Yoritomo.
If both the Fujiwara clan and the Genji clan are harmed, he can regain power and truly become the most powerful emperor like during the Izumo Kingdom.
His hands were trembling, maybe because he wrote the blood edict, and he opened the book with trembling hands.
The books in front of him were all newly copied books, a "Chu Shang", a "Qin Lun", and a "Waishen Fu" full of words that he could not understand at all.
(PS: After finishing my work, I wrote an article "An Essay on Hojo's Advocacy" and put it in the writer's words. Those who are interested can have fun)
