Chapter 1748: Opportunity to establish your authority comes to your doorstep
In just one spring, the Oda family's territory expanded rapidly again, taking over Settsu and half of Kaga.
At a time when the world's samurai families are fearful of the unstoppable rise of the Oda family, and their snowballing power is getting bigger and bigger, the chaos of the Kanto New Year has finally been properly dealt with.
The loan counterparty assistance policy proposed by Hojo Ushimasa has been initially recognized by Yoshino Bank.
Each family in the Kantō shrine can use their credit guarantee to provide loans from Kamakura Gozan to the four eastern countries to tide over the famine without paying for them themselves. The people of the east will repay the loan and interest year by year starting from next year.
Sibo Yiyin is satisfied with this compromise change.
What he is most worried about is that the famine after autumn will lead to another chaos in Guanbazhou. As long as the four eastern countries have food to eat and don't cause trouble, he doesn't care who will provide the money and food.
As for the people in the East, they don't care even more.
Most of the martial arts families in the four eastern countries were waiting for their sins. They had to go back to survive the famine and have to deal with the crime and be punished. The land in their hands and the citizens did not know whether it would be theirs in the future. Who cares whether the loan can be repaid?
Let’s survive the current famine first and have soldiers and food in hand. Then we can discuss later whether the loan needs to be repaid and whether the territory should be transferred.
The Oriental People are obviously a group of scoundrels, and Yoshihiro Shiba is not sure how he will repay the money and food from Kamakura Gozan in the end.
He was a little surprised. How could the Kanto sects headed by the three powerful clans of Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo be so willing this time and willing to guarantee their own reputations? Aren't they afraid of the people from the East defaulting on their debts?
No matter what, this New Year crisis has finally passed for the time being.
After the rebellion of the Oriental People and the non-violent non-cooperation of the Kanto Palace, Shiba Yoshigan can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Everyone is willing to listen to themselves, sit down and talk slowly, and fight civilly rather than violently. This is the greatest victory of Sibo Yiyin.
A Kanto that is willing to tolerate dissidents, fight without breaking up, and walk hand in hand is the foundation that the Shiba family can rely on.
In this island country with crisscrossed mountains and fragmented plains, the Celestial Empire's method of centralizing power cannot be used. It is inherently inadequate and cannot be allowed.
The best political system is one that serves the interests of the vast majority of people and makes them willing to put down their swords and guns, compromise with each other, and tolerate each other for development.
The future theocratic power of the Sibo family will not be based on the words of the Heavenly Constitution, but a political balance governed by the aristocracy composed of a group of Sibo family members.
Allowing the Sibo god descendants to develop and occupy most of the land, using blood as the bond and compromise as the cornerstone to form a theocratic interest group that advances and retreats together, is the ultimate political goal of the Sibo Yiyin.
Whether it's the Kanto Palace or the Oriental People, it doesn't matter who suffers and who takes advantage, because in the long run, neither one is important.
As long as the Kanto samurai family is obedient and obeys Shiba Yoshigan's political plan for the land of Kanto, Shiba Yoshigan can rest assured and be a weak and benevolent king.
As long as the rules are set by Shiba Yiyin, then among his weaknesses and bullying, the ones who take advantage of him most must be his women and heirs.
From the beginning, this was not a fair competition.
The casino's planned odds are 51% for the banker and 49% for the guests. It seems that there are only one or two more guests, but it is enough for the casino to make a lot of money.
This is the advantage of being a rule maker. A little advantage will be quickly magnified. As long as the rules are made by me, I don't mind if you take a small advantage. Anyway, I will win in the end.
The situation in the land of Kanto is the same.
As long as the planner of the political system is Shiba Yoshigan, as long as the Kanto samurai family is willing to obey his rules, the temporary concessions and sacrifices can be made back tenfold and a hundredfold in the future.
So what if the Kanto Palace suffered a loss? So what if the people in the East defaulted on their debts? Everything in the future of Kanto will belong to the Shiba family.
Because Shiba Yiyin is weak and can be bullied, his female children will always be favored and their advantages in the competition will become greater and greater.
Even if some people are unconvinced, they can't defeat Sibo Yiyin. They can only remember the saint's kindness and ask for a small advantage to balance their psychology.
If things go on like this, the entire Kanto region will fall under the control of the God descendants. Yoshigan Shiba's weakness and kindness are like a political frog boiled in warm water.
Some people may understand this truth, and some may not understand it, but it doesn't matter, because the general trend has taken place, those who follow the trend will prosper, and those who go against the trend will perish.
There is no one in the land of Kanto who can truly resist Shiba Yiyin's will. They can only use conspiracy to calculate his benevolence, make some small gains, and then suffer big losses.
Uesugi Kenshin returned to the Echigo Imperial Palace in a depressed mood, always feeling uncomfortable.
Takeda Shingen was guilty of original sin, and it was too late to kneel down and lick the saint. Of course, he followed the saint's wishes in everything, so he couldn't straighten his spine, and there was no need to stiffen his spine.
Hojo Umasa's first love was a success, and now they are having an affair. Whatever the saint says, everything goes well. He holds his belly and has a baby.
Only Kenshin Uesugi had a strong temper and insisted on telling the truth, so he asked her to immerse herself in small tasks and imitate other people's submission. She was not used to it.
Nowadays, the political mainstream in Guandong is to fight civilly rather than violently. She is unable to use military strategy, which she is best at, and encounters obstacles at every turn. Of course, she feels aggrieved.
The Hojo family and the Shiba family took over the Higashi Musashi land, and Shima Katsuki was pregnant and still busy.
She has moved her residence from Oku Castle to Edo Castle, and is preparing to further develop the Kanto Shiba Territory based on the Higashi Musashi Land.
Hojo Ushimasa's loan counterpart assistance plan was approved by the sage, so he did not go back to Odawara Castle to raise the baby. Instead, he sat in Kawagoe Castle to conduct remote control and further mediate the implementation of the plan.
Edo Castle and Kagotsu Castle are connected by the Arakawa River, one in the middle reaches and the other in the lower reaches, facing each other from end to end in the river and lake.
There were two pregnant women, one in the middle and one in the lower reaches. Even though they were pregnant, they were still busy working for Sibo Yiyin. Naturally, Sibo Yiyin felt guilty and stayed temporarily between the two cities to take care of them.
Takeda Shingen simply asked Takeda Yoshinobu to come from Kai Country to the Higashi Musashi Land, return to the Doshinzo Group to study as soon as possible, and hang out in front of Yoshihiro Shiba all day long.
Everyone tried their best to create a harmonious atmosphere, but Uesugi Kenshin was not good enough in acting and could not pretend to be generous. He could only return to Echigo, out of sight and out of mind, but in his heart he scolded these scheming people.
Uesugi Kenshin was not afraid that Shiba Yoshigan would not return for a long time, because Shiba Yoshigan was preparing to hold a temporary review of the Kanto Palace in the summer.
The impromptu review will naturally go back to the Echigo Imperial Palace, and the theme this time is two things.
One is to implement the counterpart assistance plan.
The food problem must be solved before the autumn, in order to appease people's hearts and avoid another turmoil in the four eastern countries, which would disrupt the overall situation.
The second is to complete the process of returning the people of the East to the Kanto Palace.
No matter how the Dongfang people are sentenced for their crimes, they must return to the big family of the Kanto Palace. This is the political bottom line of Yoshihiro Shiba.
All martial arts families in Guanbazhou must be included in the Guandong Shisuo system. No matter how you fight or make trouble, you must play within the rules of the game drawn by the sage.
Once the Kanto Eight Provinces are on the right track, then the rest of the entire Kanto region will gradually be included in the Kanto Service Agency system. The Kanto Service Agency will serve as Shiba Yoshigan's white glove and digest the entire Kanto area.
After the people of the East return to the Kanto Palace, their convictions, punishments, and loan repayments will become more complicated.
The joke that the court official judged himself has come true.
The people in the East will definitely use the rules of the game of the Great Council of the Kanto Palace to reduce their own culpability, escape punishment, and at the same time reject the loans provided by their counterparts.
Although the three Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo families had a tacit understanding to expand the ideological purge campaign in Dali County and use it as a weapon to control the Eastern crowd, Uesugi Kenshin was still unhappy.
She likes to cut down her enemies directly, and hates political entanglements that tie her hands and fight without breaking through.
Takeda Shingen, the ghostly tiger, and Hojo Ushimasa, the little lion who was nurtured by his family, both knew how to play politics better than Uesugi Kenshin, the Echigo dragon.
Uesugi Kenshin was thinking about how to show his strength to the outside world and intimidate Xiao Xiao, who was constrained by the new Kanto political situation that demanded civil struggle rather than armed struggle.
Suddenly, an excellent opportunity appeared, which made Uesugi Kenshin overjoyed.
When you feel sleepy and encounter pillows, the opportunity to establish your authority will come to you on your own initiative.
