Chapter 1714 Four Hundred Thousand Stone Painted Cake
Satake Yoshige was so excited that she left. Yoshigan was more tolerant than she thought, which rekindled her hope and volunteered to become a useful chess piece in Yoshigan's hands.
Naomasa Ii, who had watched the conversation between the two, sneered at Satake Yoshige's back and whispered.
"Despicable villain, most shameless."
Yiyin looked helplessly at his cronies and sighed.
"You need to change your temper. After all, Satake Yoshige is a famous person with four to five hundred thousand koku. Even if the tiger is defeated, the conversation between her and me is not something that you, a little Hime warrior, can interrupt."
Ii Naomasa bowed and accepted the instruction, but was not convinced in his heart.
"I just can't stand the behavior of such villains. After selling off all the people in the East, they then sold off the Guandong Palace for their own selfish interests. It is completely without moral integrity and is depressing."
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
After all, Ii Naomasa was so well protected by herself that she didn't know how high the sky was, her world was black and white, and she couldn't stand the gray area.
Tongxinzhong Group generally has this problem. Most of the women directly under the central committee joined the army at a young age and followed Yiyin. They have not seen the complicated local situations, so they are not grounded.
The first-in-command of Kamaojigo is better, and he knows how to deal with others with some restraint, but the second-in-command of Ii Naomasa has no tolerance for criticism.
Naomasa Ii is mainly responsible for supervision and inspection duties. Ever since she first monitored the welfare of the people in Taiwan, she has been doing such offending things.
Because she was backed by a saint, others were in awe of Tongxin Secretariat's inspections. Ii Naomasa had an upright temper, but few people dared to offend her.
Even someone like Takada Haruno, who holds great power, would not dare to fight against Ii Naomasa.
Only through the restraint and warning of the saint, the personal relationship between Takada Yukino and Ii Naomasa will serve as a soft nail for Ii Naomasa.
Even though Ii Naomasa is young and has a low position, she has great power, a strong backing, and she has never suffered any disadvantages in her youth and arrogance, so she is naturally fearless.
She dared to comment on a man like Satake Yoshige, who had been in the Kanto region for more than twenty years, sat in the famous Satake family, and held 400,000 koku. Yoshige was both angry and funny.
It's also Yoshigan's own fault. Ii Naomasa was the samurai warrior he raised from childhood. The timid little girl back then turned into the upright person she is now. Yoshigan has the greatest responsibility.
Seeing Ii Naomasa's indignant look, Yoshihiro couldn't help but secretly complain.
Satake Yoshizhong behaves like a villain and is selfish, but your own Ii family is not much better.
At that time, the Ii family, a well-known family in Yuejiang, repeatedly jumped between the Shiba clan and the Imagawa family.
In the end, the Shiba family was defeated, and the Imagawa family moved to Togae. The repeated behavior of the Ii family made the Imagawa family very vigilant. From then on, Ii was in bad luck. Several generations of family governors died unexpectedly, and the family property was coveted by retainers.
Ii Naotora had no choice but to carry the young Ii Naomasa and ran to Echigo Kingdom to beg Yoshihiro, and begged Yoshihiro to accept the little girl as a surname, so as to leave a seed for the family's bloodline.
What next? Ii Naotora returned to Toe Country, while dealing with the Imagawa family perfunctorily, fighting against the local samurai family who coveted the Ii family's property, and secretly colluding with Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Tokugawa Tokugawa Ieyasu conquered the Toe Kingdom, and Ii Naotora was treated with courtesy. Although Ii Naomasa was serving the saint, the Ii family was definitely not a flawless white lotus.
Tokugawa Ieyasu invaded Toe Country, expelled the Imagawa family, and secured the territory. The local samurai family headed by Ii Naotora played a major role.
Ii Naomasa is such a pure kid. Looking back at her adoptive father Ii Naotora's repeated leaps, Satake Yoshitaka would be the one to be defeated.
The Wu family's society is basically one of weak and strong. The weaker the person, the less bottom line they have in doing things. Those who have a bottom line will have all their families killed long ago.
Yoshigan shook his head and continued to persuade Naomasa Ii, who looked unconvinced.
"Don't look disdainful. It's easy to accuse people from the moral high ground, but can you solve real problems after you scold them?
You can't, but Satake Yishige can.
She has been operating in the Hitachi Kingdom for more than 20 years. She has a clear understanding of the situation of the Oriental People, the Kanto Palace, and even the entire Kanbashi Prefecture, and she has a good plan to deal with it.
The most valuable thing is that Satake Yoshinori has no choice but to become a pawn in my hands. Why don't I use such a safe and useful person?"
Ii Naomasa gritted his teeth and said.
"She started a rebellion, destroyed dikes and flooded fields, caused famine, did all kinds of bad things, and lost her conscience.
Saint, you still want to promise her 400,000 dan, so where is the justice?"
Yiyin sighed.
"You write the word Tianli on the paper, take your Tianli in one hand and a bowl of rice in the other, and go out for a walk.
I remember that there were many villagers and townspeople on the outskirts of Taicheng, the capital of the country, who were fleeing the war. For more than twenty days, they had been exposed to wind and rain, were frightened, and were always looking forward to the end of the war.
Go there with your Tenri and rice and see what they choose.
During the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Han Dynasty, all the people shouted that the sky is dead. If each person could have two bowls of porridge every day, they would only shout that the sky has eyes.
You and I are struggling with what is the significance of Satake Yoshitige's moral character? You yourself are in charge of supervisory powers. Let me ask you how many Ji warriors you have seen who are neither greedy nor greedy?
As long as Satake Yoshige can complete the strategy she proposed, the famine in Kanbazhou after this autumn will not be very large and cause too much panic.
Those bastards at the Kanto Waiting Office will be more restrained when they do bad things, and they will cause less trouble for me.
Stability is the most important thing. I want peace in the eight states, and I want the warriors in Guandong to be human beings.
As long as Satake Yishige can help me achieve this goal, she has merit, regardless of her character.
No matter how bad the peace is, it is better than the current troubled times, where we are worried day and night.
You may be dissatisfied with the sloppiness of politics, but that's all I can do. The beautiful world in your ideal has never existed.
Even if I am a god, I can't resist the fickleness of people's hearts, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Yoshigan's emotion made Ii Naomasa's heart tremble. She looked at Yoshigan's tired face and felt a pang of regret in her heart.
Raising a problem but failing to solve it is acting like a hooligan. You are just causing trouble for the saint, but you cannot come up with a useful idea.
On the contrary, it was Satake Yishige, whom I despised, who really helped the saint come up with ideas and solve the problem.
Naomasa Ii lowered his head and said softly.
"I'm very sorry, I..."
Yiyin shook his hands and sighed.
"There's nothing to be sorry for. Young people should be a little aggressive and can't stand this imperfect world. It's normal.
You don’t have to worry about the 400,000 Shi family title I promised to Satake Yishige. It’s just a piece of cake. Whether you can get it or not depends on the ability of the Satake family.
The northern part of Yushu is outside my influence. Even if Satake Yishige completes her strategy, I can't give her any benefits. It's just a false name.
If she really has the ability to open up a new territory in northern Yuzhou, then it will be equivalent to bringing my influence there, which will be beneficial to me."
Naomasa Ii suddenly understood, and his face looked much better. Yoshihiro shook his head helplessly. This angry little fool finally understood.
Yoshigami used the example of the Nanbu family, which is the same clan as the Satake family, and his attitude was already clear.
The northern part of Ou is bitterly cold, and the southern part of the country is located in the northern part of Oshu. The territory is vast, but the stone height is only 150,000 koku, so the family can only rely on horse breeding and sales to support the family.
The terrain in northern Yushu is better than that in Oshu, but not much better.
For such a frozen soil that was difficult to develop in the agricultural era, not to mention giving 400,000 koku, even giving a million koku would not be as good as the Satake family's current Hitachi country.
The so-called family title of 400,000 koku in northern Yushu is not so much a transfer as a banishment. If Satakeyoshi was not desperate, she would not go to the north to suffer the cold and wind.
The Satake family surrendered this time and severely offended the people of the East. After helping each other, they will definitely offend the three powerful feudal lords of Kanto.
The samurai families in the east and west of Kanba Province all disliked Satake Yoshitaka, and it was impossible for the Satake family to continue to live in the land of Kanba Province.
Under such circumstances, Satake Yoshishige was grateful to be able to obtain a family status in the northern part of Yushu, and was ready to take people out to build the foundation again.
Giving the Satake family a way out will also be good for Yiyin.
The Takeda family replaced the Satake family, and Takeda Shingen was named Jindai and went to war on his daughter's behalf. In other words, Hitachi Province was the direct leader of Takeda Yoshinobu, Yoshinobu's daughter, from the beginning.
The Satake family is not a small family, and they cannot pack up and leave just as soon as they make changes.
The Satake family, which has been running the Hitachi Kingdom for five hundred years, is deeply rooted in the local area. How many people have been eating with the Satake family for generations. Such an intricate relationship cannot be cut across the board.
If Yoshinobu is handled roughly today, it will only cause trouble for Takeda Yoshinobu's daughter in the future.
Give the Satake family a way out, and allow Satake Yoshitaka to organize his retainers and people to move to Yuzhou, and actively cooperate to complete the changes.
The Satake family and the Hitachi Kingdom were separated by themselves, making it easier for the Takeda family to take over Hitachi, and also for Yoshigan to use the power of the Satake family to further influence the Ou area.
