    Not to mention what kind of huge threat it would pose to the three-county territory of the Kira family in Omi once a three-party attack occurred. Kira Yoshi frowned and kept tapping the table in thought, and couldn't help but think a little anxiously: "What on earth is this?"  What's going on? Why did this group of people suddenly unite to show off their power? Logically speaking, they should be afraid of me joining the Ashikaga family. Why did they suddenly want to create a motive for the Tsujiangoshi Three Kingdoms Alliance?  What¡¯s going on with Asai Nagamasa? Isn¡¯t he the elder of Oda Nobunaga?¡± Kira Yoshitsune felt that all this had become ridiculous. Why did the scene in Kinki change when it should not be like this?  It was so unbelievable that Miyoshi Changqing, a lone eater who had never thought of forming an alliance, suddenly jumped out to form the Jinjiangyue Three Kingdoms Alliance, and it happened at this juncture, which made him doubt the motives.  "Wait a minute! Something seems wrong! Asakura Yoshikage said before that he would confront Yu, and now he suddenly created the Tsujiangoshi Three Kingdoms Alliance. It couldn't be an opportunity to deal with my Kira family, right?  ? Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case. None of these three families seem to be very close to the Ashikaga family!" Kira Yoshiki's eyes gradually narrowed into thin slits, with only a little cold light flickering: "Hello, Miho Changkei!  How brave! Do you think this small Three Kingdoms Alliance can take over Yu's Kinai territory? Believe it or not, Yu Duo will give the power to your Izumi Kingdom to replace him!" Matsui Yuxian worriedly!  Said: "I believe that Kinai must train more new armies. The instability of the Asakura clan will directly affect the entry and exit of goods in Wakasa Bay and Tsuruga Port. Once the Asakura clan affects our trade routes, we must give up the best route."  Trade port. Detouring to Maizuru Port in Tango Province will invisibly increase the cost. The result of the detour from Maizuru Port will be to enter from the northwest of Kyoto, which will be a great development for Sakamoto's industry.  "Blow!" "You don't have to worry too much about this," Hosokawa Fujitaka said with a smile: "According to the information from An Yun Shouden, we know that the Echizen Kokushi in the Asakura family's possession is about 460,000 koku.  Left and right, because the control of the northern counties was completely in the hands of the Echizen Ichikou clan and was not included in the calculation, in addition, there were many manors of the shogunate and ministers of the court and the temple properties of the five mountains and five temples in the territory. These resources were not available to the Asakura family.  Those who dare to mess around, the stone height controlled by the Asakura family will not exceed 350,000 stones." Namigaoka Toutou nodded and said: "The war department is right, the Asakura family's famous title was given by the shogunate.  This clan has always prided itself on being a famous family, so they often invite His Highness Gongfang and the ministers of the imperial court to Shimojie due to their geographical location close to Kyoto. Among the guests at Ichijogani Castle, there is no shortage of ministers from Kyoto all year round. Asakura Yoshikage likes  Kyoto is also very famous for its culture. It is said that in the early years, people shaved their eyebrows and blackened their teeth to dress up as ministers. "There is no samurai who shaves his eyebrows and blackens his teeth in the Ashikaga family of Kamizuki, not even in the official family of Nangoka Sobo.  For this hobby, during the time of Kira Yoshitsune, the house governor only wore hunting clothes and a black hat. He never put any messy powder on his face, and he did not advocate shaving his eyebrows and blackening his teeth. He advocated learning the excellent aspects of Kyoto culture and rejecting the deformed aspects.  , such as shaving your eyebrows, blackening your teeth, and contorting your accent.  For example, those who are fond of masculine styles, or those who stay up day and night and party all night long, etc. are all rejected.  Honda Tokimasa said rather disapprovingly of the strength of the Asakura family: "The economic lifeline of the Asakura family relies on the maritime trade between Tsuruga Port and Mikuni Minato. And our Kira family happens to be the maritime overlord of Hokuriku. In recent years, Kira  The naval force is developing very rapidly. The long coastline from Dewa Sakata Port to Kagamoto Yoshiminato has fallen into our hands. The Noto Hatakeyama family has also requested to come to our door to discuss cooperation. What can the Asakura family do against us?  The Tsuruga navy with ten old ships?" Naoe Mitsuna also felt that Matsui Yuxian was a little unfounded, so he echoed: "The Asakura family's financial resources depend on maritime trade, and Tsuruga Port's status as a northern trade transit port is unshakable.  As Sakamoto's last stop, it is unavoidable. The Asakura family can easily support an army of 20,000 and the luxurious life of Ichijodani by just using the trade tax revenue from the route. I believe that Asakura Kingoden, as the governor of the family, will not understand this truth.  I don¡¯t even understand!¡± Matsui Yukan still shook his head and said: ¡°What I¡¯m worried about is not that the Asakura family will block the trade route, but that the Asakura family will take the opportunity to raise taxes too much, and even join forces with the Asai family to block the road to Sakamoto.  They set up checkpoints on the passage to obstruct it in every possible way, and then vigorously promoted the port on the east side of Lake Biwa. Even if the business travelers would eventually land in Sakamoto or Otsu, the profits of the merchants had become very meager after several exploitations, and in the end they could only raise prices.  To protect our capital, this is very detrimental to us!" Namigaoka T¨­f¨­ frowned deeply and said after a while: "This is a matter of concern. Suppose that the first enemy that the Jinjiangyue Three Kingdoms Alliance has to deal with is not my Sakamoto.  The one I visited was the Ashikaga family, but the Rokkaku Kyozoden in Minami Omi Kannonji Castle.This would be very bad!  Judging from the situation of the Rokkaku family, it is difficult to say whether they can withstand the joint attack of these three families. Once the Rokkaku family loses their territory and flees, they will lose all their territory.  Then half of Omi will fall into the hands of Miyoshi Nagakei and Asai Nagamasa. Once these two son-in-laws merge, they will not only pose a threat to the economic system of Lake Biwa and Yodogawa built by the Ashikaga family, but will also directly threaten the military.  The safety of the three Omi counties is in danger. Once the three counties are in crisis, the Kira family's trading system will be in danger of collapse. Presumably Miyoshi Nagakei originally envisioned this, so this conspiracy is even more inevitable!  ¡± It is said that all the prosperity in the world is for gain, and all the turmoil in the world is for gain. From ancient times to the present, there is only one eternal theme that will not change in wars, and that is the interests rooted in the core, whether it is land occupation and colonization, economic plunder and dumping  Or trade monopoly is all about profit. Maybe some wars are due to strategic considerations or to pass on internal conflicts, but the fundamental reason for these reasons is still profit. Just like there are only two economic growth.  Factors are at play. One is to increase revenue and the other is to reduce expenditure. Restriction is to combat corruption and promote frugality and resist luxury. Open source is to find new economic growth points. This growth point can be to create inventions in a peaceful way, or even to use  A more extreme way to launch a war. The core interests of the Kira family are two. One is the vast territory across the Hokuriku, Kanto, Shinano and Dewa countries. In this era, nothing is more valuable than the growing monopoly trade.  , there is no business in the world that is more profitable than monopoly. The Kira family monopolizes horse trafficking in the entire Eastern Kingdom, monopolizes maritime trade in most of the North Sea of ??Japan, and monopolizes the Yodogawa, the main transportation channel in the heart of Gyeonggi Province, and the water transportation rights of the entire Lake Biwa.  In addition, there is a money house created by Kira Yoshitoki, which can monopolize the issuance rights of Yongle money throughout Japan. Thousands of Yongle money are produced every day from Niigata Town. The rapid growth of this alone can give Kira a year.  The family brings more than two million yuan in seigniorage, which is the hen that lays golden eggs for the money tree. By guarding these monopolized industries, the Kira family can obtain a steady stream of and growing profits. The Kira family relies on its strong economic strength to maintain it.  The family's high welfare benefits have allowed them to build a powerful legion that is different from other samurai. This year's Zhengdan court meeting, the Kira family's return gift bonus to ministers was as high as 50,000 guan. Even a small wealthy family can get a comparable sum.  The bounty earned in several months will not be short-changed by everyone in the dojo. The reason given by Kira Yoshito is simple. The expansion of the land after victory in the war requires everyone to share the dividends of victory in the war.  After the war, the reward of more than 100,000 yuan will be given to all warriors in the Zhengdan Dynasty. Who doesn't like to take advantage of free money?  Regarding the matter of Lu Zhongjun, who would be resentful after taking advantage of the Kira family is truly an outlier among the exceptions. No one who belongs to the Kira family has ever thought of betraying him, because the Kira family's economic strength is really strong.  It is unimaginable that they are reluctant to go back to live a hard life after becoming independent, and they have to face the unstoppable crusade of the Kira Legion. They are unwilling to betray, not because they are loyal and unyielding, but because the cost of betrayal is too high, so high that there is no  People are willing to pay this price. This is the benefit brought by Kira Yoshitoki's economic layout many years ago. The so-called loyalty is actually an expensive consumable. It is difficult to get it back once it is used.  Only through a long period of accumulation, a stable and mutually trusting system of monarchs and ministers was established. Before Minamoto Yoritomo came to dominate the world, it took nine generations for more than two hundred years, and it was not until the moment the Kamakura shogunate was established that the system was established.  The era when Kawachi Genji dominated the world.  The Ashikaga family's success in the world relies on the reputation of the samurai family that has gradually accumulated since the Heian period. Loyalty has also been gradually accumulated during this period. Currently, many people who belong to the Kira family are still difficult to say how loyal they are. What they obey  Nothing more than the Kira family's hegemony and inexhaustible wealth. Loyalty requires meritorious service, glory and countless benefits to make them gradually agree. Therefore, any samurai who attempts to destroy the Kira family's maritime lifeline is a mortal enemy. Kira Yoshitoki will do whatever it takes.  To attack.  Kira Yoshitoki was also shocked by this inference. After careful consideration, the matter was indeed not as simple as imagined. Miyoshi Chokei and Miyoshi Yoshihide were not only extraordinary in military and political circles, but they were also two heroes with extraordinary resourcefulness.  In addition, his partner, Lao Matsuhisagi, a member of the Shodai family, is also a conspirator that no one dares to underestimate.  Perhaps because of his hard strength, he found that he was no match for the Kira family, so he came up with a combination of vertical and horizontal methods to deal with the Kira family. The target of the Miyoshi family was exactly the one that Kira Yoshitoki could not tolerate the most, so he devoted countless efforts to Sakamoto Town.  , only half of the net income obtained by Sakamoto Town is taken every year, while the other half is used to develop and consolidate Sakamoto's existing economic status.  In recent years, SakamotoThe town has gradually become the economic center around Lake Biwa, and has even become the only way to enter and exit the kiwan region. Katsuda Town has formed a complete handicraft system based on porcelain firing and pottery making, while Otsu Town relies on the neighboring Tendai Sect Gate Sect Headquarters.  Mount Hiei's Enryaku-ji Temple, Mitsui-dera Temple, the main headquarter of the temple sect, and Saikyo-dera Temple, the headquarter of the Shinseori sect, have become the favorite livable city of Kyoto for ministers, monks, and cultural figures.  It just so happens that you can go boating on the Kamogawa River next to the Sanjo Bridge, follow the Katsura River Yodogawa and then enter the Uji River upstream to arrive at Otsu Town at the port of Lake Biwa. The status of this emerging city in the cultural world is gradually approaching that of Sakai Town.  Center, and the small Shiga County has become an economically developed area comparable to Kyoto, which is achieved by relying on investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars every year.  Once Shiga County's economic center position cannot be guaranteed, the absolute monopoly of Yodogawa and Lake Biwa will be lost. By then, Sakamoto Town will decline rapidly, and it will only be a matter of time before the three counties fall. Once the three counties collapse, it will mean  The Biwa House will completely lose its influence on the essence of Kinai.  The dominance of the North Sea of ??Japan that the Kira navy worked so hard to achieve has become a rootless duckweed. It has no practical effect except for piracy and plunder. The high cost of maintaining a strong armament will make the Kira family feel stretched, which will make the Ashikaga family feel  The rising momentum came to an abrupt end and became the quiet beginning of the collapse of this super famous name.  The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, which made Kira Yoshiki feel extremely angry and angry. Takeda Shingen, who had planned against him a long time ago, was bruised and swollen by the cruel reality. Now Asakura Yoshikage, a clown, dares to attack this giant of his.  The dragon challenged, roaring uncontrollably with intense anger and calculated humiliation.  "Asakura Yoshikage, this bastard is looking for death! The dignity of the Ashikaga family cannot be challenged. Since he wants to antagonize me, I will give him a chance to antagonize him! Take action immediately by land and water and make progress at the same time. We must capture Tsuruga at all costs.  I would rather give up the control of Hong Kong than go to Kanto to get rid of these damn bastards from the Asakura family!" Kira Yoshishi's roar made all the subordinates nervous, but the power he had accumulated over the years made many subordinates feel nervous!  As the photo was taken, the devotees who were sitting a little further away had no idea why the world-famous His Highness Gongfang was so angry, and they quickly lowered their heads and tried their best to gather their thoughts to avoid unnecessary disaster.  Hearing Kira Yoshihide's angry statement, the important ministers sitting in the front row frowned. The Kira family had been working hard for several years to prepare for the southward march to Kanto. Seeing that the enemies on the east and west routes were defeated one by one,  However, a new threat has emerged from the Jinjiangyue Three Kingdoms Alliance. How long will this day of treating one's head and feet end?  Uesugi Terutora, who had his eyes closed without saying a word, suddenly opened his eyes and wanted to speak, but Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who was full of white hair, stepped in and said, "It is not easy for our Ashikaga family to be as powerful as it is today. His Highness, Mr.  The established strategy has been prepared for many years and it is not advisable to act rashly. It is better to let the veteran go to Omi Sakamoto and guard the Omi territory for the Ashikaga family!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster updates!
