Mibuchi Haru was excited, but did not lose his mind.
She is soft-spoken and short-handed when taking advantage of others, and she knows that she has to pay a price.
But these will have to wait until the Izumi-Hosokawa family is out of trouble, and Hosokawa Motonsune and Hosokawa Fujitaka can decide.
The most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness. She, Mibuchi Haru, has been around for so many years and has yet to be tortured to death.
Just by having a good sister and a good daughter.
She is not stupid. Yiyin is so generous, which goes far beyond the scope of repaying kindness.
But as long as she can save Hosokawa and her daughter, Mibuchi Haru is willing to pay any price.
The Mibuchi family cannot lack the support of the Hosokawa family. This is the foundation of survival and cannot be replaced.
No matter how shameless she is, she can't show nothing at all.
After thinking about my errand, I decided to say a few more words.
"Yi Yin, although you have brought a large amount of food and grass, the general may not be willing to delay it any longer."
Mibuchi Haru's words surprised both Yoshigan and Akechi Mitsuhide.
The shogunate army has no shortage of food and grass, so why are they so anxious to have sex with the Miyoshi family?
The Miyoshi family are hungry wolves. If they don't hurt her family this time, the shogunate will still have troubles in the future.
Seeing the confusion between the two, member Mibuchi Haru knew that he finally had some information that he could give back. He immediately became energetic and said.
"The Ashikaga shogunate has long been in decay, but it can persist until now.
First, relying on the outer barrier of the Izumi-Hosokawa family and the Kawauchi-Hatakeyama family, who were able to survive among the three administrators and four positions, these forces were called the local powerful factions of the shogunate.
The second is to rely on the Ashikaga vassal territory of Yamashiro Kingdom and surrounding countries to supply the Ashikaga horsemen and support the military strength of the shogunate. These forces are the shogunate.
Both parties have vested interests in the Ashikaga shogunate, and neither wants the shogunate to collapse.
This supported the reputation of General Ashikaga and barely maintained the existence of the shogunate in Kinki."
Yiyin nodded.
The shogunate was a few miles away and had long since lost the power to interfere.
Most of the samurai families in recent years only used the name of the shogunate to coerce local areas and obtain some local shogunate officials.
In recent years, the shogunate has become increasingly declining, and donations from various places to the shogunate have also been decreasing year by year.
This is a dangerous sign. More and more samurai in the world no longer take Ashikaga Shogun seriously.
Sanbuchi Haru took a breath and continued.
"I am valued by the general and am in charge of the distribution of supplies in the camp.
In fact, these days, Omi enters the Seta River through Lake Biwa, and supplies a lot of supplies to Kyoto by merchant ships.
The two families, North and South Omi, were indeed respectful this time and did not deal with the general."
After the Norada War, the Rokkaku family's arrogance was suppressed.
The Asai family and the Rokkaku family competed for support from the shogunate. Although the troops sent this time were not many, they were very generous in terms of supplies.
Yiyin understood this, but didn't understand why Mibuchi Haru mentioned this.
Akechi Mitsuhide from the side interrupted.
"So, the logistics supply of the shogunate army is actually not as bad as it seems?"
Yiyin reacted suddenly.
If Haru Mibuchi is telling the truth, then even if the shogunate army was not as well-supplied as Miyoshi Chokei, it would not have been in embarrassment within thirty days and almost collapsed internally.
He couldn't help but ask.
"Why? Why did Ise Sakyo fake logistical instability and coerce the general into negotiations.
Even if her family is bribed by Mihaoshi Changqing, other ministers will not be so unwise and coerced by her."
Sanbuchi Haru sighed and said.
"Because the ministers are rotten.
The troops were sent out after the summer harvest, and the confrontation between the general and Miyoshi Changqing lasted for more than thirty days. Soon it will be the autumn harvest."
Yiyin finally understood what the ministers were thinking. What these bastards were thinking about was the autumn harvest!
Japan was poor, and the samurai society was prone to wars. Life was not easy for the samurai.
Even if you live frugally, you won't be able to save even 10% of your food in a year.
Because if you don't want to hit, others will hit you.
Therefore, the arms race has never stopped, and every family is living a tight life, breaking a copper coin in half.
Plowing in winter and harvesting in summer, what is sown and harvested is wheat.
Japan lacks grinding tools and flour. Therefore, hard wheat rice is the main ration for civilian farmers.
During the spring plowing and autumn harvesting, rice was planted and harvested, and this was the main food collected by the martial arts families.
For the Wu family, the most important thing of the year is the autumn harvest.
If the summer harvest is delayed, some civilians will starve to death at worst, and the next year they will just plunder the refugees and come back to replenish the farmers.
But if the autumn harvest is missed, the warriors will not be able to bear it.
This is the rations of the Wu family and the military rations. Food and grass are a major military matter, related to the survival of the family and the country.
To harvest grain, the peasants and soldiers need to be dismissed and go home.
The service life of a peasant soldier is ten days. Five days of rations are eaten directly, and five days of wheat cooking are used. Therefore, an additional batch of peasant soldiers must be arranged for every five additional days on the transportation line.
Haru Mibuchi has made it very clear.
Both North and South Omi used merchant ships to transport supplies to Kyoto via Lake Biwa and the Seta River, so they did not use too many peasants and soldiers.
The logistics of Miyoshi Changqing relied on the logistics and transportation of merchants in Sakai Port, and did not involve too many peasants and soldiers.
Although Yoshigan's Yamato transportation line uses Hokuda and peasant soldiers, Kofukuji Temple and Tsutsui Castle are supporting it.
A large country transporting a supply line with 450,000 dan cannot use all its strength, so naturally it cannot recruit many farmers and soldiers.
Only the logistics line from the Shancheng Kingdom to Hanoi Kingdom was transported by the farmers and soldiers of the Shancheng Kingdom, which were all laborers in the shogunate's territory.
In particular, there was civil strife in the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi, and the peasant soldiers in Kawachi who were supposed to be involved in transportation disappeared.
It also increased the transportation pressure on mountain cities, and the number of farmers and soldiers continued to grow.
If the current logistics of the shogunate army are followed, the confrontation with the Miyoshi family can last another twenty or thirty days.
The peasants and soldiers of the ministers would not be able to return home in time for the autumn harvest!
No wonder none of the ministers came out to refute Ise Sakyo. She simply represented the interests of the entire group of ministers.
No wonder Mibuchi Haru said that even if Yiyin comes out with supplies, the general will still choose to negotiate as soon as possible.
Because the shogunate is one of the two pillars of the shogunate, no matter how angry Ashikaga Yoshiki is with these bastards, he can't really force them to rebel and must compromise.
Yoshigan and Akechi Mitsuhide looked at each other and both felt their hearts tremble.
The two of them were not from the shogunate, and their understanding of each other was not deep enough.
I only knew that the logistics of fighting a war were important, but I didn't know that the political game in the shogunate was so complicated.
Fortunately, Yiyin has chosen to join forces with Hosokawa Mibuchi, and someone has given him guidance, so he will not suffer the same fate in the future.
Although Mibuchi Haru has mediocre intelligence, he grew up in a shogunate family and knows all about the secrets.
Now that I have told Yiyin everything, I also have the intention of repaying him.
In this way, the first interest payment on the debt of gratitude lent by Yiyin has begun.
The shogunate's deliberations ended, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru returned to his imperial tent.
After a while, Wada Weimasa, who was summoned, came and saluted the general.
Ashikaga Yoshiki shook his head and said.
"It's time now, don't worry about these false courtesy.
Wada-hime, I need you to send an envoy to the Miyoshi Army."
Wada Weizheng's face turned pale after hearing this.
Lord Gongfang, are you trying to kill me?
You just sent Miyoshi Changqing her sister's head, along with the good news that your only daughter died tragically.
What does it mean to call me an envoy now?
Moreover, during the discussion just now, Shiba Gozen pointed at Ise Sakyo's face and said that he would kill the whole family if he dared to talk about negotiations again.
Kill the whole family!
If I go on a mission, I will look like a dead person inside and out.
