Chapter 287 Father's Love

 Ashikaga Yoshiki smiled bitterly.

Her father is wise, but he is not on the front line, and his feelings are not as profound as hers.

What Odai is worried about is who is stronger and who is weaker and who is the leader between the Ashikaga family and the Shiba family in the future. He is unwilling to accept Yoshigan Shiba as a member.

But Ashikaga Yoshiteru knew that the Ashikaga family could no longer bear it now, so there was no future.

If there is no foreign aid, let alone how the family business will be in the future, whether there is a family business itself is a question.

In the Ashikaga Shogunate, the first and second generation shoguns were weak. It was the third generation shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who really established the family business.

But after her, she quickly declined and it was difficult to control the martial arts family in the world.

After the Eighth Generation Shogun's Rebellion, the family declined even more. In the hands of the Thirteenth Generation Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the Ashikaga family had become nothing more than an empty frame.

The society of the samurai family was in constant war, and the practice of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's era was still to pull one faction to fight another, which could not be called peace in the world.

Because Japan is barren and cannot have peace.

There are sixty-six countries in the world, with a stone height of 20 million stones and a population of 10 million.

To feed an adult woman, she needs two and a half kilograms of grain per year.

The average life span at this time was more than 20 years. People got married and had children in their teens. After about ten years of marriage, they would have ten children.

When I was growing up, four or five children would die in infancy for various reasons, and five or six children would grow up.

In ten years, a couple can have three times the number of children. When the children grow up, they continue to have more children, and by twenty years the number will be nine times.

If the world is at peace for twenty years, how can this poor land feed a population of 60 million or 180 million?

The lack of food is not something everyone is equal to, but it is not over until there is enough food.

Farming before industrialization had no improved seeds, no chemical fertilizers, no scientific water conservancy projects, and no mechanical assistance.

Depend on the sky, a simple word, but there are corpses everywhere behind you.

The martial arts society had to fight wars, and everyone was half-starved. They had to scrape together 10% of the army's rations every year, and they had to insist on fighting.

If you win, you will get more land to cultivate and feed your people.

If you lose, a lot of lives will be consumed and there will be fewer mouths to eat.

The Ashikaga Shogunate sat on the crater and watched the samurai rise, grow, decline, and die. Now it was finally their turn.

The family has managed to maintain its fortune for hundreds of years, and now it is almost over.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru knew that his father was worried about the future, but if he could not win the Shiba family, the Ashikaga family would have no future.

Like this time, without Sibo Yiyin's hard work.

Miyoshi Nagakei had already taken over the center of the shogunate under the ambiguity of the shogunate, became the leader, and became a real and nameless general.

And she, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and her Ashikaga family, can only be trapped in the imperial palace and live in fear all day long, living with the thought of the winner.

Ashikaga Yoshiki told his father everything he thought, and Odaisho shook his head.

He knew that it was not easy for his daughter, and he really couldn't see clearly behind him what kind of storm the general was going through.

Wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she murmured.

"My child has suffered, my child has suffered."

Ashikaga Yoshiki sighed and said.

"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm just afraid that my family's fortune will be ruined and I won't be able to see my ancestors.

In the past, the threat came from the three leaders, and the Yamano family, the strongest among the four, was once powerful enough to challenge my family.

But after all, they are relatives of the Ashikaga family, a challenge and a help.

Only now do I see clearly that the ministers are completely unreliable, and we still have to rely on our own family.

The Ashikaga family killed the three leaders and the Yamano family. When they faced foreign enemies, they could not find a powerful relative.

If it hadn't been for Yoshigami Shiba's efforts to turn the tide, the Izumi-Hosokawa family and the Kawachi Hatakeyama family would have been doomed this time.

The Ashikaga family will be left alone, without any relatives to rely on.

Father, for the sake of the Ashikaga family, we need to change.

The three leaders should not be our enemies, they are our blood relatives and our most reliable helpers."

Everything Ashikaga Yoshiteru said came from his heart.

The previous struggles were internal fights within the guardianship system, and each family had a bottom line to some extent.

But the challenge from the Awa Hosokawa clan completely wiped out the last trace of the Ashikaga family's vitality.

The Awa Hosokawa clan was destroyed by the Miyoshi clan. From now on, the shogunate will face challenges outside the guardianship system, and foreign samurai families will be even more ferocious.

In this recent battle, the shogunate and ministers were at odds with each other, and the ones who really shed blood for the Ashikaga family were the powerful local relatives.

Izumi Hosokawa family, Kawachi Hatakeyama family, and Shiba Yoshigan, the surviving son of the Shiba clan.

When the shogunate was stable, relatives fought for power. When the shogunate declined, the most reliable ones were the family members.

After all, the shogunate is a retainer. As long as the shogunate's pretensions are still there, anyone can be their master, as long as their interests are not harmed.

However, the three leaders are closely related to the Ashikaga family, and they are both the highest-ranking families in the guardianship system.

Once the prestige of the Ashikaga shoguns ceases, their bloodline blessings will also disappear, and both will be lost.

When it comes to your own interests, of course you must protect them with all your strength.

When fighting for power, the general wished that the three-in-charge clan would be destroyed.

But after the decline of the shogunate, I remembered the good things of these three families.

Of course, if these three families become powerful again, the Ashikaga family will still want them to die.

This is life, Davarich living in memories is the most beautiful, no one wants it to really be resurrected.

Odaisho was convinced by his daughter's words.

If the Ashikaga family has reached the end of its rope, then joining forces with Shiba is no longer so difficult to accept.

No matter who is strong or weak, in the end, the wealth does not flow to outsiders, it is all of one’s own blood.

But where checks and balances are needed, they still need to be set up.

he said.

"Since it is the general's idea, I should support you.

However, I have to remind you that Sibo Yiyin is not simple.

In this negotiation, he won over the Hosokawa Mibuchi family and formed an alliance with them.

He made deals with the Ninagawa family and suppressed the Ise family. The ministers no longer dared to be enemies with him.

For the Miyoshi family, he obtained the garrison rights of Sakai Port and had the opportunity to join the nearby business district.

Can you really control such a deep-minded man?

General, you have to think clearly."

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was dripping with cold sweat after being reminded by his father.

She didn't realize that there was such a profound meaning behind Shiba Yiyin's deeds of serving the public good.

Could it be that she was really deceived by male lust?

With her many years of experience in the shogunate, there is no need for her father to remind her about this issue.

It was also because the Grand Imperial Office realized something was wrong with her that she opposed the marriage.

Since ancient times, it is common for those in power to indulge in male lust and abandon important affairs of the country. He is also worried that his daughter will fall into disgrace in this matter.

Ashikaga Yoshiki was silent for a while and said.

"My daughter has thought clearly."

Odaisuo shook his head, women are like this.

What he talks about is the great righteousness of Qianqiu, but what he thinks in his heart is not that skin.

Speaking of which, I don't blame my daughter for being obsessed with it.

Shiba Yiyin's appearance, figure, and temperament are indeed an unparalleled handsome man. Even as a woman, I can't help but be attracted by him.

What a crime.

Unable to bear it, my daughter was moved, and she tried so many reasons to convince herself.

Ootaisho sighed, a father's love is like a mountain, so naturally he wants to help his children's dreams come true.

Please put Mr. Yiyin into the urn.
