"This is not a problem between the two cities. Once these two cities change hands, Hanoi and Izumi will also be difficult to defend." Miyoshi Yixian stared into Yu Qiuping's eyes and said solemnly: "After losing Kyoto and the Matsunaga family, Hanoi and Izumi
Izumi is a stronghold of the Miyoshi family in Kinki that cannot be abandoned. Kishiwada Castle and Takaya Castle are absolutely impossible to give up."
"That's just your wishful thinking." Yu Qiuping also shook his head firmly, "You lost Kyoto by yourselves, and you lost the battle of Shiji by yourselves. Since you lose, you have to pay the price. Didn't you just lose everything?
As agreed, this negotiation is based on your admission of defeat. How can the losing side not have to give up anything? It is no longer possible for you to control Kinki."
"If you do not agree to this condition, I will hand you over to Gifu City, Your Highness Shikyu. There, the lord will have the means to torture you and extract information about the Miyoshi family from your mouth. And without you, Awa
A country will be unstable, and the remnants of your old master Hosokawa Nobitaka may take the opportunity to cause rebellion." Yu Qiuping snorted coldly and pressed Miyoshi Yoshixian: "As for the 1,700 people we have captured, I'm afraid there are
Many of them were deployed by His Highness Miyoshi Masayasu and His Highness Iwanari Tomomichi. Wouldn't His Highness Miyoshi Masayasu and the elders of the Iwanari family put pressure on you to release people? Whether it is to obtain information,
On the contrary, it still destroyed morale. These 1,700 people are enough for us to write an article! If the ashigaru of the Miyoshi family realize that their master is actually reluctant to use one or two cities to save them, the troops of the Miyoshi family in the future
I’m afraid it will cause people’s hearts to lose focus.”
"Are you threatening me?" Miyoshi Yixian sneered and looked at Yu Qiuping with disdain.
"No, I'm just stating our follow-up measures to your Highness." Yu Qiu Pingping continued without changing his expression or heartbeat, "Otherwise, how can I get you to sit down and make concessions?"
"I have said before, if the agreed terms exceed the bottom line of the Miyoshi family, my eldest brother will not agree." Miyoshi Yixian smiled and shook his head, "It's useless what you say."
"It's really meaningless for the repair doctor to be opportunistic." Yu Qiuping said sarcastically with some discomfort after hearing this: "Let a person without freedom of movement negotiate, he can't make any decisions, and he has no sincerity at all. In this case, then don't
Let's talk. Either let His Highness Shihe, who can make the decision, come to talk, or just suspend it. Even if we don't negotiate, you three good families will still suffer."
Yu Qiuping's words suddenly chilled the atmosphere in the room, and the air seemed to be suddenly quiet. Yu Qiuping and Miyoshi Yixian looked at each other without fear, as if they could see something in each other's eyes.
For a long time, Miyoshi Yoshixian and Tokawa Icun looked at each other. Then, Tokawa Icun said in a deep voice: "Kishiwada City still has funds and compensation for grain and grass. This is the biggest concession the Miyoshi family can make."
"Are you kidding me? Your Highness Shihe?" Yu Qiuping laughed angrily when he heard this, and angrily rapped the table with the knuckle of his right index finger, "Kishiwada City is a full distance away from Beihanoui under my control.
It's more than seventy miles away, and all the territory in between is the territory of the Mihaoshi family. How do you ask me to defend this enclave? It's almost enough if you give me Gaowu City!"
"Since you thought you couldn't defend it, why did you ask for Kishiwada Castle before?" Miyoshi Yoshiken raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharp, "Because your goal has always been Takaya Castle, and Kishiwada Castle is just a bargaining chip.
Now that Hatakeyama Takamasa is on your side, the thoughts of the wealthy people in Minamikochi have changed. As long as you control Minamikouchi and attack Takaya Castle, the whole of Hanoi will fall into your hands." Miyoshi Yoshixian paused and looked at Yu with satisfaction.
Qiupei's eyes glanced to the side unnaturally, and he pursued the victory: "When the time comes, with Kawauchi in hand, we will use Kishiwada's cooperation with the outside world in the city to take down Izumi in one fell swoop. Uakijibu, this is your wishful thinking, I
You guessed it right."
"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Yu Qiuping took a deep breath, and then focused his eyes on Miyoshi Yixian's face again.
"If I'm not wrong, Takaya Castle is your bottom line." Miyoshi Yixian chuckled, and snapped his fingers with a sure win, "Kishiwada Castle is the bargaining chip you offered when you asked for a high price. It has never been there from the beginning.
You plan to pass. But you originally wanted to fight for Kishiwada Castle in the negotiations, but finally reluctantly gave it up and asked for Takaya Castle instead. You plan to create such an illusion, making our Miyoshi family mistakenly think that just giving up Takaya Castle is enough.
If you have good conditions, you can get it."
"Everything is just His Highness Shixiu's own passion." Yu Qiuping shook his head nonchalantly, "In one sentence, with the compensation of money, food and grass from Gaowu City, I will release His Highness Shixiu and these 1,700-plus captives."
"I also say the same thing. Under the current situation, giving up Gaowa Castle means giving up Hanoi. It is absolutely impossible." Miyoshi Yixian snorted coldly and pushed back like a needle.
"Nan Hanoi is already within easy reach. If you don't give it to me, I can still fight it by myself." Yu Qiuping looked into Miyoshi Yixian's eyes, "Can you really hold it?"
"If the fight really ends, why would you withdraw your troops and come to negotiate?" Miyoshi Yixian smiled contemptuously, "Stop bluffing, Yuqiu Zhibu. Your bottom line has been figured out, and the outcome of the negotiation has been determined.
.”
"If the Sanhao family is unwilling to hand over Gaowu City, the negotiation will break down. Your Highness Shixiu, do you not want your own life?" Yu Qiuping took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"No more." Miyoshi Yixian nodded quite easily, and Shihe Icun beside him also nodded slightly.
The atmosphere in the house was solidified again, and the three of them were silent. Just when Yu Qiuping was about to be the first to speak, Miyoshi Yixian suddenly waved his hand and suddenly said: "Well, don't do it in Takawu City either."
Yes. I’ll give you the 40,000 koku territory of Otori County in Kitaiizumi. What do you think?”
When Yu Qiuping heard this, he felt like his whole body was shaken by electricity, and he couldn't say anything in a hurry. He raised his head, tried to keep his expression calm, and wanted to peek into Miyoshi Yixian's eyes - only to find that
Those eyes are unfathomable.
Has it been seen through?
·
The reason why Yu Qiupei is so panicked is because Otori County has the largest trading port in Japan and is also Yu Qiupei's most important partner in this plan - Sakai Town. The size of Sakai Town is almost the same as Ishiyama Town.
When the size of the port and the many merchants under Yu Qiuping's rule are equal, if Sakai Town is missing, then Yu Qiuping's plan to make money with the help of Congress will be out of the question.
Therefore, in this negotiation, Ua Qiupei's goal has always been to cede Sakai Town. This was also the promise he made when he formed an alliance with the businessman, Hatakeyama Takamasa, to ensure that Sakai Town has the security of cooperation with Ua Qiupei. If Sakai Town
It is still controlled by the Miyoshi family, and those businessmen dare not set up a parliament with great fanfare, formulate laws, and manage budgets. The basis for the operation of the "separation of powers" mechanism is that Sakai Town must be controlled by the Yuqiu family. If
Yu Qiuping could not guarantee the safety of Sakai Town, and those businessmen were not willing to hand over 500,000 yuan as the Yu Qiu family's treasury.
Therefore, the territory, Kishiwada Castle, and Takaya Castle are actually just a cover for negotiations. Only Sakai Town is what Yu Qiupei really wants. Yu Qiupei originally wanted to pretend to give in after a fierce dispute and no longer ask for Takaya Castle and Kishiwada Castle.
He turned to Otori County and Izumi County in the north of Izumi. Unexpectedly, Yoshihide Miyoshi actually told him his bottom line before he could.
But isn't this exactly what he wants?
After Yu Qiuping came back to his senses, he agreed in a hurry without even having time to think about it, for fear that Miyoshi Yixian would change his mind. The latter had no intention of breaking the contract, but made a detailed agreement with Yu Qiuping on the transfer of territory and the release of prisoners.
Specific chronological order. At the same time, Yu Qiupei also asked the Miyoshi family not to hinder the normal trade operation of Sakai Town on the Seto Inland Sea. In exchange, Sakai Town will hand over half of the annual trade volume to the Miyoshi family (this is already an astronomical figure)
After all the negotiations were over, Yu Qiuping was anxious to ask Miyoshi Yixian and Shihe Icun to postpone the painting, and he flew away like a child who had picked up candy.
·
"Second brother, what do you mean?" After Yu Qiuping left, the first existence of Shihe asked Miyoshi Yixian in a low voice: "Although I am a rough man, I probably understand. Yu Qiu Hongye agreed so readily
, which shows that what he wants is Sakai Town, and Takaya Castle and Kishiwada Castle are just cover-ups."
"Fourth brother is right." Miyoshi Yixian smiled and nodded, "You have made some progress and can see these twists and turns."
"Since the second brother knows in his heart, why should he cede Sakai Town to him? Isn't this fulfilling his wishes?" Tokawa Icun asked in a cold voice, "How can we let the enemy succeed?"
"Fourth brother, you still don't understand. The strategy is not simply about one party calculating against the other. As long as the other party is a master of the same level, such a simple calculation cannot succeed." Miyoshi Yixian glanced at Shihe Icun and said slightly.
He sighed and said: "A truly brilliant strategy is a two-way strategy, or even a comprehensive one. It is not simply to lure the enemy to your own trap, but to calculate against each other, and even reach a consensus in the calculation."
"I don't understand, please ask second brother to explain." Shihe Yicun frowned and thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
"Our Miyoshi family can't give up on me and those 1,700 people, and Yuqiu Hongye is also determined to win the town of Sakai. In this case, it's better to make an exchange." Miyoshi Yixian analyzed methodically: "You didn't notice
Because I guessed that his bottom line was Sakai Town, so I deliberately insisted that his bottom line was Takaya Castle, and I argued with him repeatedly here. Then I suddenly made an incredible concession and gave him Sakai Town. Yuqiu
Hongye must have thought that he had deceived me. Our Miyoshi family was desperate to save Takaya Castle, and he got a big deal, so he agreed without bargaining. In fact, according to the bargaining chip in his hand, we had to pay half of Izumi
It was only appropriate to cede both (Otori and Izumi counties) to him. But because I guessed his bottom line in advance and made him afraid to continue negotiations, I was able to win such favorable terms and save Izumi County.
"
"That's it." Shihe Yisun nodded in sudden realization, but then his face darkened, "But although we have retained half of Sakai Town's trade volume, we have to give up such a hen that can lay golden eggs to Yu.
Doesn’t the autumn red leaves make him even more powerful? I don’t understand these things, but my second brother has been dealing with Sakai merchants for so many years. Doesn’t he know how rich they are?”
"I know, but to this day, there is still something I can't figure out." Miyoshi Yixian pursed his lips and glanced at the Maple Bird flag flying high on Maple Leaf Mountain Castle with a subtle expression, "Those Sakai merchants are shrewd.
Come on, what kind of conditions did Yu Qiuping offer to persuade Sakai to give up our Miyoshi family to support the Yu Qiu family? I estimate that Yu Qiuping must have made a huge concession. In this case, I will
The town simply threw it to him and asked him to fulfill the concessions he made. Ame Qiupei himself may agree, but the samurai in his family, as well as his master Oda Nobunaga, must not be willing to compromise with the businessman! When the time comes,
We can just sit back and watch the internal fighting between the merchants of Sakai Town and the Yuqiu family, and then we can make a comeback and the fishermen will benefit."
