different warring states of japan

Chapter 1176 Trying to eat alone

Seeing Sanyuan's mother look calm, Hosokawa Moto often talked about his plans.

"I got the exact news.

The Miyoshi family has come out from Kyoto in order to fight against the Odaisho.The army is deployed in the three cities of Fushimi, Yodo, and Akutagawa, echoing from the beginning to the end.

If we join the war directly after spring plowing, we will inevitably face the powerful military force of Akutagawa Castle.Besides, our Katsuryuji Castle is facing Yodo Castle.

If the Miyoshi family chooses to attack us first, eradicate the side and then threaten, we will suffer huge losses.

Now the imperial government has ordered us to move to the southern front and enter South Hanoi without any offense to Miyoshi's family.I will also order Shenglong Temple City to guard the city and not give Diancheng a chance to break through.

In this way, we escaped the spirit of Miyoshi's first battle.

After killing You Zuo Xinjiao, the army turned back.It is when the two sides have been fighting fiercely for a long time and the morale of the Miyoshi family has declined, that is our good opportunity to join the war. "

Haruhito Mibuchi and Fujihide Mibuchi looked at each other and nodded together.

Hosokawa Motochang is worthy of being a cunning and cunning man, and he chose the timing of Hosokawa Mibuchi's two families' participation in the war cleverly.It can not only satisfy the royal platform, but also cut into the battle of Shangluo at the right time to seek the maximum benefit.

---

Shiba Yoshigin didn't want to break with the Hosokawa Mibuchi family. He seemed to force the two families to submit, but in fact his methods were soft and he left room.

Hosokawa Moto is an old man, and he can see the key point at a glance.As long as the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families quickly attacked Yuzuo Xinjiao, they returned to the army and went north.

Not only can you avoid the edge of Miyoshi's family in the battle of Shangluo, but also reduce your own losses.It can also get the approval of Yiyin and continue to maintain the internal harmony of the local power faction in the shogunate.

It's a pity that life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten.Neither Shiba Yoshihiro nor Hosokawa Motojo ever imagined that Matsunaga Hideo had planned to fight back.

Under the seemingly powerful appearance of the Miyoshi family, except for the fact that the Miyoshi and the three are united to fight to the death, the Miyoshi army of the four countries is deeply homesick, and Matsu Yongxiu's vain attempt to join the enemy has long since lost his mind.

If the Miyoshi family is vulnerable and the Battle of Shangluo ends in an unexpected way, the contradictions within the local powerful faction of the shogunate will be intensified again.

Contradictory interests, side-by-side.

In the Diancheng residence hall, Song Yongxiu and his daughter Song Yongtong had a secret conversation in the inner room.

Song Yongxiu looked solemn, handed a letter to his daughter, and said.

"Take a few of your cronies, disguise yourself from the small path and go to Nanjinjiang Guanyin Temple City, and find a way to deliver this letter to Oda Nobunaga."

Song Yongtong hesitated.

"Mother, we have nothing to do with the Oda family, and we have no contacts. Can we be accepted if we just rush to the door like this?"

Song Yongxiu glared at his daughter and cursed.

"If you hadn't been deceived by Honda's righteous faith and committed the heinous crime of invading the imperial palace, why would I have taken the risk of going to the Oda family.

It's not that the Imperial Palace and Ashikaga Yoshiaki cannot rely on them.But the people in Kyoto have many eyes, and the truth about the burning of the imperial palace will inevitably be seen by those with a heart.

No one else mentioned it, but Ise Zhenjiao was there at the beginning.Will she pour all the sewage on us in order to protect herself?

The vassals are simply unreliable, we can't afford to gamble, we have to think carefully.

Even if Godaisho and Ashikaga Yoshiaki can use us for a while, and we will reveal the truth when we are no longer useful, then the Matsunaga family will really be finished.

For the current plan, the only way to ensure safety is to rely on the Oda family.

I heard that Nagahide Niwa, a senior official of the Oda family, is traveling around Koga County to appease the Koga people who have served for Oda Nobunaga.

You have brought enough gold and silver, don't be stingy, don't take your face into consideration.Even if you are as humble as a dog, you have to find a way to make friends with her and hand this letter to Oda Nobunaga's desk.

Only in this way can the Matsunaga family have a way out. "

Song Yongtong was hesitant, but seeing his mother's serious expression, he finally bowed his head and agreed.

Song Yongxiu saw that her daughter didn't understand the key point, but at least she was willing to obey, and she felt mixed feelings.

If this daughter hadn't been deceived, the situation of Matsunaga's family would not be so embarrassing.Out of caution, Song Yongxiu didn't dare to join the samurai family related to the shogunate at all, and could only choose foreign daimyos.

She fell in love with Oda Nobunaga because she saw the shadow of Miyoshi Changqing in her.

Today's Oda family is the Miyoshi family of the past. Its power is thriving, and the family governor is determined to forge ahead.Oda Nobunaga will never be satisfied with being a dog for the shogunate, and he will be satisfied with some benefits.

Qiang Fan, a place of two million shi, finally squeezed into the near few, and came to the center of the world.Would she be willing to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon?
Oda Nobunaga's choice must be the same as that of Miyoshi Changqing at the beginning, and she will definitely have ambitions for the center of the shogunate.

Today's shogunate is even more dilapidated than when Miyoshi Changqing went to Luoyang.

After being tormented by Miyoshi Shangluo, Ashikaga Yoshiki lost his life in Nijo Castle, the prestige of the Ashikaga Shogunate dissipated, and his face was thrown on the ground and trampled on at will.

Although Shiba Yoshigin is talented, but he is a man after all, so he cannot be the Ashikaga general.Yoshiaki Ashikaga was born in an embarrassing background, and it is difficult to represent the descendant of the Genji family in Hanoi, and he has been recognized by the samurai family all over the world.

The Ashikaga shogunate has been in decline for a long time, but never before has it been in danger of losing its orthodox status completely as it is today.

If the strength is gone, if the reputation is gone, the Ashikaga general who has ruled the world for two hundred years, what confidence do they have to continue to dominate the world?
Oda Nobunaga met a good time.

The hearts of the people in the shogunate are scattered, the Ashikaga shogun has insufficient reputation, the Liujiao family is self-destructing, and the Miyoshi family is a self-righteous idiot in charge of the family.

In recent years, the political situation has been violently turbulent, and the samurai family has been weaker than ever before. This is a good opportunity to change the world.

Therefore, Matsunaga Hideo decided to join Oda Nobunaga to find a way out for the Matsunaga family.

Song Yongxiu understood too well the virtues of the recent samurai families. These people are selfish and arrogant, rejecting foreign samurai families, but they are scattered and unable to form a force.

To them, the Oda family is an outsider.The Matsunaga family followed Miyoshi Changqing to Shangluo, but they were also outsiders.

Since they are all outsiders, they will be rejected by the nearest samurai family, so there is a basis and reason for joining together, and the Matsunaga family's behavior of joining Oda Nobunaga is not abrupt.

Song Yongxiu glanced at his ignorant daughter and sighed.

My daughter is not smart, so I have to make things perfect.Otherwise, one day when I close my eyes, the Matsunaga family doesn't know what it will be like to be tricked.

Song Yongxiu secretly made up his mind that he must find a way out for the Song Yong family, so that the family business will be stable for a long time, and he can close his eyes with peace of mind after his death.

As time goes by, spring plowing in various places is gradually coming to an end.

Sibo Yiyin held a big review in Duowen Mountain City. After leaving for nearly two years, he convened for the first time the group of retainers who had been near Sibo to discuss matters.

At this time, the recent few Sibo collars have changed beyond recognition.Except for a few stranded old Iga congregants and the old Peking University and congregation, the main body of the retainer group has long been filled by the newcomers and old departments recruited by the important ministers.

Whether it is the new ministers recruited by Akechi Mitsuhide in Mino, Kyoto, or the old ministers Nizi Katsuhisa recruited from the Western Kingdom, or the relatives and friends drawn by Maeda Yoshihisa from Owari.

They were all strangers to Yoshihiko Shiba.

Many people have doubts and even connect in private.He intends to assist his own boss, evacuate Shiba Yoshiin, and continue to maintain the status quo.

It's just that no one expected that during the big review, Sibo Yiyin directly threw out Wang Zhan, and the Sibozhong Fund was officially established.

The Shibachu basic life deposit, referred to as the Shibachu Fund, will be managed by Ishida Mitsunari, the former director of the Naoe Tsuguan Office.

The main task of the Shibachu Foundation is to use the Hokuriku Road trade route to make money, and to pay the annuity to Shiba's retainers with commercial profits.

The trial plan will be first rolled out in the near future in Siba, tentatively scheduled twice a year, each Siba Jiaji samurai can receive four stones of brown rice each time.

The first batch of annuities will be distributed at the end of the year, and the specific distribution method is still being determined.But what is certain is that for these two stones of brown rice, every warrior Ji who has been in office in the past few Sibo will have a share.

This is Shiba Yoshigin's solemn commitment to Shiba's retainers. The revival of the Shiba family cannot be separated from the joint efforts of all Siba warriors.

The Shiba family will never forget everyone's dedication, and Shiba Yoshigin will work hard to ensure that every warrior Hime who has shed blood and sweat for the Shiba family can have enough food for the whole family.

If the trial plan goes well, in the next few years, the Sibazhong Fund will be distributed to all Ji warriors belonging to the Siba family.The number of distributions will also be increased to twice a year, three stones of brown rice each time.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and completely stunned the new ministers of recent Sibo who had mischievous intentions.

For middle and high-level martial artists, four or six stones of brown rice a year is not a big deal.

But put it on the grassroots warrior Ji who is struggling on the edge of survival and whose family is half-starved.This annuity is like pie in the sky, it can drive people crazy.

When the news came out, like a boulder smashed into the lake, waves continued.Around Duowen Mountain City as the center, all the low-level Ji warriors cheered and shouted "Long live the Imperial Palace".

So far, Shiba Yoshigin surpassed Shiba's retainer group in one fell swoop, broke the feudal tradition that the retainer's retainer is not my retainer, and completely captured the hearts of the Siba family's lower-level Ji samurai.

Now, just waiting for the annuity at the end of the year to be paid out smoothly, Yiyin's position will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one in the Shiba family can disobey his will.

And the Shiba retainer group has also become a special group that is different from all samurai groups.

With the unique pension and welfare system, being able to serve the Shiba family will become the life that all grassroots warriors yearn for.

From then on, countless Hime warriors began to try every means to join the Shiba family's Hime warrior establishment, and a series of problems even arose.

Of course, this is all in the future.

Guanyin Temple City, residence hall.

Song Nagato bowed respectfully and said goodbye, and withdrew.

Oda Nobunaga looked at her leaving back and said to Niwa Changhide.

"Mi Wuniang, well done."

Niwa Chohide shook his head.

"It's not my fault, it's Matsunaga Hide himself who wants to serve you. If you really want to talk about credit, it's also because of your reputation."

Oda Nobunaga laughed, pointed at Niwa Changhide and said.

"Mi Wuniang, you have changed, you have become a flatterer."

Niwa Changhide smiled slightly, seeing that Oda Nobunaga was in a good mood, he said cautiously.

"Main hall, there is something wrong with Song Yongxiu's move. If she is willing to turn to the light, she should go to the Imperial Palace. Why did she come to our Oda family?"

Oda Nobunaga joked.

"Didn't you say it? It's because of my reputation."

Niwa Chohide smiled wryly and shook his head, he really couldn't find pleasure for himself, flattery really didn't suit him.

Oda Nobunaga did not continue to embarrass this capable confidant, his eyes turned cold and he said.

"Matsunaga Hideo, heh, I'm afraid this person is not clean during the Kyoto incident.

She was not from the shogunate, but Miyoshi Changqing's eyeliner in Yamashiro.

Miyoshi went to Luo, and the general fell.Lord Kenshin should forgive the shogunate ministers, because there is nothing to do, the shogunate is deeply intertwined, and the whole body is affected by a single hair.

However, Matsunaga Hideo is not a direct descendant of the shogunate and has a shallow foundation. Of course, she is afraid of being found out in the future.

Now I have two million stones in my hand, and I have won Nanjinjiang, a place close to the door, and the future can be expected.

Not only Song Yongxiu, but people who want to make a fortune will come to him sooner or later, don't be surprised. "

Niwa Nagohide nodded, there are countless things about being in power from ancient times to the present.It is really not surprising that there are many people who are icing on the cake and few people who give charcoal in the snow.

Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said.

"Matsunaga Hide is very sincere, as long as I make a move here, she will kill Iwanari Yutong and cut off her retreat.

Yodo Castle, controlled by the Matsunaga family, is the middle point of the Miyoshi family's defense.She jumped out and fought back, and Miyoshi's army would be cut in half and thrown into chaos.

Not to mention the damage to the morale of the army, just the isolation and helplessness of Fushimi City can create an opportunity for me to complete Shangluo alone. "

Niwa Changhide's pupils shrank, and asked.

"Dadian, do you want to complete Shangluo alone without other people?"

Oda Nobunaga stretched out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, nodded slowly, and said.

"This is a godsend opportunity.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was in Sakamoto Castle, which was the entrance of the Seta River into the southern suburbs of Kyoto.

I can quickly send troops to Kashiwahara, cross the lake and enter Seta.Then he joined forces with Ashikaga Yoshiaki to cross Otsu directly and surprise Fushimi Castle.

Matsunaga Hideo cut off the water transportation of the Yodogawa River in Yodo Castle, and Fushimi is an isolated city, and it won't last long.

If all goes well, I will be able to occupy the entire Shangluo Contribution, help Ashikaga Yoshiaki return to Kyoto, and firmly grasp the initiative to re-establish the shogunate.

I believe that Ashikaga Yoshiaki will not refuse this proposal.

Although she has been very cautious, I know very well that she is not willing to be manipulated by Kenshin.She would not refuse such an opportunity to stand out. "

Niwa Chohide gasped, startled by Oda Nobunaga's thoughts.

Shiba Yoshihiro went to Jinji Shiba collar, Asai Nagamasa returned to Kita Omi, the ministers of the Yamashiro Kingdom were still in line, the Ni soldiers of the Tendai Sect had not yet left the mountain, and the Hosokawa Mibuchi family had not yet mobilized.

Everyone wants to get ready and get a share of the Shangluo battle.But Oda Nobunaga actually wanted to pull Ashikaga Yoshiaki to launch Shangluo in advance and eat alone.

This is going to offend everyone to death, especially Yoshihiko Shiba.

Niwa Chohide hesitated.

"Main Hall, you have personally acknowledged the dominance of the Royal Platform over Shangluo.

If we act without authorization, how will we explain to the Royal Office afterwards? "
