Yiyin glanced at the thoughtful Kamao clan and continued.
"Yamashiro Kingdom and the surrounding shogunate territories are the territory of the shogunate and local factions. Many family names can even be traced back to the early days of the Ashikaga shogunate, which lasted for two hundred years.
The rotten atmosphere under the names of these families is so strong that it is difficult to imagine, and there are a lot of unfair facts.
I have just warned Ninagawa and Hatakeyama Takamasa. They will definitely not dare to mess with the quota of martyrs, and they will also discourage others from messing around.
But I'm still not worried.
Ujigo, I will ask the third Taifu of Baiji to cooperate with you. You must strictly check the list of military merits sent to you to ensure that these 100 Sibo martyrs are all Ji warriors who have made outstanding contributions.
At best, they are all middle- and lower-class Ji warriors with dozens of stones and a hundred stones.
The middle- and lower-class warriors who are qualified to receive the quota of righteous warriors must be brave warriors who survived bloody battles, but their status in each family is not high and their income is very low.
Therefore, they will definitely cherish Sibo Yishi’s six-ton harvest every year.”
Kamojigo nodded.
"Your Majesty, you want them to be grateful and be used by the Sibo family?"
Yiyin smiled.
“How can there be so much kindness in this world that deserves gratitude?
The middle- and lower-class warrior girls are exhausted just to support themselves, their husbands and children, and they have no energy to be grateful.
But as long as the interests are consistent, that's enough.
I have no intention of controlling these one hundred martyrs, but as long as the Spo family is here, the martyrs' hardcore crops will be distributed on time every year.
In addition, I will give these martyrs a privilege, allowing them to write directly to the Tongxin Secretariat when they encounter injustice, imploring me to seek justice for them.
The territory of the shogunate samurai family was very corrupt, and there were many injustices. With the status of righteous soldiers, they were not afraid of being bullied.
On the one hand, there is a guaranteed food of six stones per year, and on the other hand, they have the right to report without being bullied. Even if these righteous men are doing it for their own interests, they must hope that our Sibo family will prosper."
Pu Shengshixiang nodded.
"Your Majesty is wise.
If we control these martyrs openly, it will inevitably cause fear and backlash from everyone.
The righteous men are members of the foreign ministers, they are not the retainers of the Shiba family, and controlling them is an indecent and transgressive act by the Shiba family.
But if you just think about the merits of the martyrs who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for the righteousness of the world, and selflessly give them preferential treatment, it will be difficult for each family to say anything.
But the hearts of these people will definitely be towards the Shiba family, and if there is any disturbance in the shogunate territory that endangers the interests of the Shiba family, they will most likely take the initiative to write a letter and warn the Tongxin Secretariat."
Yiyin smiled.
"not only that.
There may be more than just these 100 places for Spo's martyrs. I asked you to register in order to leave the possibility of expansion.
The good treatment of a martyr will definitely arouse the envy of the middle and lower-class samurai families in recent samurai territories. I can occasionally grant someone the treatment of a Sibo martyr because of his righteous deeds.
It only takes a few occasional donations a year to make the people under the martial arts flock to me, eager to change their own destiny by pleasing me.
Actually, I don't have many demands for the recent Wu family. I just hope that they will stop looking for trouble, be clever, and use their benevolence, righteousness, and morality to distract me.
I also want them to understand that it is very dangerous to use the name of justice to try to squeeze me. If they can do it, I can do it too, and I can even do it better than them.
I have no interest in pursuing complete control like Oda Nobunaga and holding the Konki samurai family firmly in my hands.
But at least, I need some trump cards that can control the threats to me from the recent martial arts families in a relatively balanced way and within my control."
Kamojigo nodded, understanding what Yoshiyin was thinking.
After the negotiations between Shiba and Oda, the external pressure on the Shiba family dropped sharply, and then they had to face internal undercurrents.
On the Kanto side, by taking advantage of the various Kanto families' greed for the lands in the East, the Kanto servants diverted the disaster to the east, and Yiyin was able to secure its position as the supreme leader.
In recent aspects, all the recent families are cunning and rogue, so Yiyin will use the word "righteousness" to open the way, promote the righteous people, use the name of righteousness to softly control the tranquility of the recent military family's territory, and frighten their little thoughts.
Kamojigo repeated in a low voice.
"Relatively balanced..soft controls?"
Yiyin nodded.
Climbing to the top may seem like a beautiful sight, but in fact, it is hard to describe. Others cannot understand the pain of being cold at a high place.
Due to inherent deficiencies, the island country's regime cannot learn from the centralized system of the Chinese dynasty and can only pursue relatively balanced soft control.阑
In the core area of the Celestial Dynasty, the North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain were connected together. Once the rule was firmly established, it would be the strongest continent in East Asia in the agricultural era.
The vast and unified plain farmland represents a huge amount of food and population, and has overwhelming power to rule this land.
The island country itself is a volcanic island, rising from the ocean, with towering mountains everywhere in the center of the island.
The plain cultivated land that was relied upon for survival in the agricultural era was torn into pieces by the rampant mountain ranges, dotted all over the island country.
The fragmented plains resulted in a relative balance of forces in various places. No one had overwhelming power and could only maintain fragmented feudal rule.
The Emperor's court was dedicated to learning from the Chinese dynasty and sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to bring back the entire Tang official system. However, in the end, the Emperor's court was still unable to effectively control the local area.
It’s not that they are unwilling, it is indeed impossible. Without overwhelming power, the Emperor’s court cannot change the reality of local autonomy.
Oda Nobunaga was ambitious and wanted to centralize power and conquer the world to change this reality.
What she relies on is the Nongwei Plain.
Ou in the agricultural era was too cold for the Sendai Plain to be effectively developed. Among the scattered plains in the island country's geography, there are only three relatively large plains.
The first is the Osaka Plain. The second is the Nobi Plain. The third is the Kanto Plain.
Oda Nobunaga became so powerful that he swallowed up the entire Nobi Plain and expanded rapidly.
If she can capture the Osaka Plain, she will definitely open up the Kyoto Basin and Omi Basin between the Osaka Plain and the Kanto Plain.
This almost covers the richest and most developed core areas of the entire island country in the agricultural era.
As long as we use this as a capital, centralize power and expand, and defeat the loose samurai groups in various places one by one, Oda Nobunaga's dream of a world under heaven may really be realized.
It's a pity that Oda Nobunaga met Shiba Yoshigan and suffered a head-on blow in the Omi Basin, temporarily knocking off his arrogant momentum.
Unlike Oda Nobunaga's centralized pressure and pursuit of comprehensive control, Yoshigami took the path of a benevolent king.
The right person has many supporters, but the unjust person has few. Yoshigan reaped the benefits of benevolence and righteousness, but also shouldered the burden of benevolence and righteousness. Compared with Oda Nobunaga, his control over the samurai family under his command was simply weak.
Yiyin can only rack his brains, and constantly seek soft control without destroying his benevolent and righteous character, so that the Wu family under his command can be more honest.
Thinking of this, Pu Sheng's hometown understood Yiyin's good intentions and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not easy for you to be a king. Your Majesty is tired of it." Lan.
Yiyin smiled.
"So you must handle these one hundred righteous men well and don't have any petty emotions."
Kamo's face turned red, and Yiyin's doting tone made her feel itchy. But when she thought about it, her face changed again.
Yiyin saw her change of color and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Kamojigo said.
"Your Majesty, when you talk about control, I suddenly thought that this time the Kwantung Allied Forces and the recent allied forces echoed each other in terms of rewards, as if they had been discussed in advance. What a coincidence, isn't it?"
Yiyin sighed.
"You may have discovered something strange.
How come Shima Shengmu and Yamanaka Yukimori suddenly negotiate terms with various Kanto families, pointing to land rewards after the war?
The Izumi Hosokawa family and the Kanto samurai family have never had any contact, so why did Hosokawa Fujitaka suddenly jump out to support them?
Maeda interests reluctantly wrote a letter of support, who forced them to do so?"
Kamojigo narrowed his eyes.
"Akechi Mitsuhide?"
Yiyin snorted coldly.
"Of course it's Akechi Mitsuhide. Besides her, who else can make Hosokawa Fujitaka take the initiative to help others at the expense of herself and others?
She has nothing to do with her. She is busy negotiating in Changbin City. You said she has left herself so clean that I can’t even get a handle on her, so what can I do to her?"
Kamojigo shook his head, still feeling something was wrong.
Akechi Mitsuhide is good at negotiating with foreign countries and is good at dancing, and he is as comfortable as a fish in water.
But within the Sibo family, her reputation has long been notorious. Who doesn't know this poisonous person? Who doesn't watch out for her?
Hosokawa Fujitaka is Mitsuhide Akechi’s best friend, so he is naturally willing to jump in to help her, but why should others help Mitsuhide Akechi?
The mountains are prosperous, the islands are powerful, Maeda has interests, all of them are important ministers who hold great power.
On the contrary, Akechi Mitsuhide kept making mistakes and was constantly punished by Yoshihiro and his territory was reduced. At this moment, Ishiko Tomoyuki was almost reduced to a middle-level samurai family.
If she hadn't represented the Sibo family in diplomacy, how would she be qualified to sit in front of the powerful lords?
Those Shiba ministers have no reason to help Akechi Mitsuhide unless this matter is of great benefit to them.
Kamo Shigo looked at Yoshiyin in confusion, and Yoshiyin couldn't help but shake his head.
Although smart, Kamao Clan is still a naive person, so he didn't think about men and women immediately, and he seemed slow in this matter.
Yiyin said lightly.
"Shima Shengmeng and Yamanaka Yukimori joined forces to pull the Kwantung Allied Forces together to shout for divine power and grace.
Now even the shogunate bosses like Hatakeyama Takamasa and Ninagawa Makoto have to bow their heads and call me a saint.
Isn’t this great profit?”
Pu Shengshixiang frowned.
"This is a big profit for you, but it shouldn't be the reason for them to help Mitsuhide Akechi. They won't get any benefits."
Yiyin smiled slightly.
"Yoshinobu Takeda, Miyuki Uesugi.
I have become a saint, and my descendants will naturally be extraordinary. Isn’t this a great benefit to them?”
Kamoji was stunned at first, but when she realized what she was doing, her face turned red, and she, a virgin, finally came to her senses.
Then she said angrily.
"They...they...actually have such dirty and disrespectful thoughts!"
Yiyin glanced at Pu Sheng's hometown and said.
"Why are you angry? You should be very clear about my relationship with them."
Pushengshixiang was like a duck that had been pinched by the neck. He suddenly stopped and could no longer make a sound.
Your Majesty is right. Every time those beasts come to do shameless things to Your Majesty, it is the Hamo clan who is the watchdog outside.
It's okay for others to pretend to be ignorant. Pu Sheng's hometown knows everything, so what's there to be angry about?
Yiyin didn't want to embarrass his close confidant, so he explained.
"Ujigo, what you said before is right, it's soft control.
I am not Oda Nobunaga. I can only pursue relatively balanced soft control. This is true for those in the Kanto Palace and the same is true for those in the recent shogunate.
But those are outsiders and cannot shake the foundation of the Sibo family.
Where is the foundation of the Shiba family? In the important ministers of the Shiba family, in the middle and lower class Hime warriors.
The annuity prepared by Shiba and the Shiba Zhong Fund helped me firmly control the heart of Samurai Shiba, a middle- and lower-class person.
What about the high-level martial artists at the upper level?
Just like when I asked you to guard the door and courtyard for me, so that you could helplessly watch me and them again and again... that's the truth.
The Shiba family was wiped out, and I had almost nothing. I was lucky to be able to revive the family business, but it was even more difficult to maintain it.
If this rotten skin can win over the important ministers for me and make the Sibo family's legacy last forever, I will do anything."
Yiyin said it calmly, but when the villagers heard it, tears filled their eyes, and they were so excited that they kowtowed to the ground.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Lan
Yiyin shook his head. This is the result every time he pretends to be fake. With the blessing of special effects that will never happen in his life, whatever Yiyin says is holy and innocent.
As time went by, it became a bit boring. Occasionally, Yiyin also wanted to be a scumbag.
He sighed and continued.
"The important ministers want to put me on the altar and make me a god and consecrate me, and then my children will become the descendants of gods that the world looks up to.
They want to have sex with me, want to get pregnant, and want to share the glory of God. Yes, no problem, I will sleep with them and give them children, as long as they are loyal to the Spo family!
The Goddess is the Goddess of the Shiba family. I am very happy that they are willing to unite.
Clan, don't feel sorry for me. I'm very happy now. I'm a descendant of Shiba God. I'm a descendant of Eternity. I have a promising future. This is good.
If the Sibo family can have an infinite future, even if I am ridden by thousands of people and crossed by ten thousand people, I will be happy with it and have no regrets.
What's more, now I'm just sleeping with a few people."
Using the Shiba Zhong Fund to unite the lower-level samurai warriors of the Shiba family, and using the bloodline gods to unite the upper-level samurai families of the Shiba family, this is Yiyin's internal soft control.
There is one layer to the outside and one layer to the inside. The core is wrapped up by Yi Yin himself. This is the ruling class that is about to take shape in the Spoelstra system.
Governance is a top-down system and bottom-up recognition. As for Yiyin, he is almost successful.
From Samurai Hime's point of view, as a man born in a world dominated by women, Yoshigan has done his best and sacrificed everything to reach this point.
It’s no wonder that the Kamao clan cried bitterly. It’s not because of Yi Yin’s extraordinary acting skills. It’s mainly because Samurai Ji is too grateful.
Arriving in front of the Hamo clan, Yiyin knelt down, put his arms around her neck, kissed her lips gently, and whispered in her ear.
"Tonight, come and accompany me."
Kamao clan looked at Yoshiyin in disbelief, his lips trembling.
"I...I...I?"
Yiyin looked at her and smiled.
"Little fool, don't you want to be pregnant with my child? Children from the clan can also become divine descendants. I allow it."
Pu Shengshi looked at Yiyin and suddenly bit his wrist so hard that blood came from the bite, which shocked Yiyin.
"What are you doing?"
"It hurts, it hurts, so... this is not a dream, right?"
Yiyin was stunned, gently touched her cheek, and said affectionately.
"Little fool."
Yiyin looked at the Hamo family who was crying with joy, and remembered that he had been holding her like a carrot for a long time, and he felt guilty.
Soft control to the outside world and soft control to the inside, then we also need soft control to the Spo Tongxin people around us.
Arranging the Kamo clan to go to bed was a matter of course, because Yiyin could not allow the Kamo clan, which holds the power of the same people, to be outside the soft control.
The Kamo clan's admiration for Yi Gin is sincere, but Yoshi Gin is a scumbag.
