Chapter 1269 Alienation and closeness

Takeda Shingen looked at Takeda Rena in his arms, showing a victorious smile.

You are Shiba Yoshigin's daughter, if one day, one day, the Takeda family. .I will send you to his side.

My daughter, you are not only his only bond in this world, but also the most proud crystallization of my life.

I don't regret that.I love him, I love you, I love you all.

---

At this time, Yoshihiro Shiba, who was just a few days ago, didn't know that the mahjong table in Kanto had already been beaten a bit, and he was about to hit his forehead.

Inside the Kanto Chamberlain, Nobushige Sanada desperately wanted to climb up, but it's hard to say whether he succeeded or not, his courage was really fat.

Uesugi Terutora, an infatuated person, finally realized that something was wrong, so he became furious and directly tore up the script of Kanto Raiders.

Hojo Shizheng was still under the pressure of Hojo Ujiyasu, carefully treating her good daughter in front of her.

And Takeda Shingen has already made two-handed preparations for the future of the Takeda family.Either lead the Takeda family to the top by himself, or give Shiba Yoshihiro a great gift called a daughter.

The chess game in Kanto has been completely chaotic, and in recent days, the current situation of Yiyin is not good, but it is not bad either.

With his current status, the slight embarrassment in the capital cannot shake his foundation.The ones who should really be afraid are the samurai who are against him.

He has a solid position of power and high prestige, but the only thing that can be judged is that he has a much more upright character than normal warriors.

Benevolence, righteousness and trustworthiness are the privileges of the strong, and the weak are not qualified to talk about them.And Yi Yin, who has the three views of the previous life, in the eyes of the Wu family, is not benevolent like a real Wu family.

Fortunately, he already has enough strength, so he is not afraid of being bullied. It's just that he is sometimes embarrassingly blocked by morality, like this time.

Maeda Lisanji arrives at Duowen Mountain City, Fujido Takahu cries about the tragic death of his mother, kowtows in blood and begs Yi Yin to investigate the matter and avenge his mother.

This made Yiyin very embarrassed.

To be honest, Fujido Toraka's death is full of weirdness, but if you really want to investigate deeply, it will probably have something to do with Oda Nobunaga and Asai Nagamasa.

Akechi Mitsuhide's strategy of keeping a low profile for Yoshihiro has just started, and Yoshihiro is going to grab Oda Nobunaga's pigtails?It's still a shame to keep a low profile, and it can be played directly.

Yiyin does not want to make a big deal out of it, and wants to appease Fujido Gaohu with financial compensation, and proposes to add Fujido to the list of the first batch of Sibozhong Funds and enjoy annuity treatment.

But Todo Takahu was indifferent to the free brown rice, chose to leave without saying goodbye, and left Duowen Mountain City, which made Yiyin very embarrassed.

Fujido Toraka is loyal to him. Without foreign aid, he worked hard to open up the situation in Omi, which greatly enhanced the influence of the Shiba family.

Now that she died unexpectedly, not only could Yiyin not be able to make decisions for her, but he had to pretend to be muddleheaded, and he was indeed a little ashamed.

Yoshigin rejected the request of the retainers to severely punish Todo Takatora, and the relationship between the Shiba family and the leader of Todo fell into a state of ambiguity.

Takatora Todo didn't say that Todo led independence, but just rejected the Shibazhong Fund and returned to Omi without authorization.Yiyin wasn't sure what she was thinking, so he had to let it go.

Fujido's status in Shiba's house is indeed somewhat special.Said to be a confidant?Not so close, the Fujido family formed a family of their own, hanging alone in Omi.

Speaking of intimacy, Todo Takataka's loyalty is commendable. Todo Takataka is from Yoshihiko's close family background, so he can be regarded as one of his own.

Because of this, Yoshihiro Shiba was in a dilemma and couldn't make a judgment for a while.

In Fujido Takatora's view, the Shibazhong Fund is a poison pill.It's the same reason that free games are the most expensive.

Once accepting the annuity from the Shibachu Fund, the heart of the middle and lower-level Hime samurai in Todo's leadership is tantamount to being firmly grasped by Shiba Yoshiyin. After Todo Takatora, how can a good bird choose a tree to live in?

One day she wanted to turn against her, and the warrior Ji below would cut off her head first, flattering Shibo Yoshihiro, just for the twice-a-year annuity.

The Shibachu Fund, which is beneficial to the middle and lower classes, to her, Todo Takatora, is Shiba Yoshigin's conspiracy to bind the leader of Ayatodo.

Shiba Yoshiyin was so tolerant that he didn't care about Todo Takatora, and was willing to give her some time to forget the pain of losing her mother.But in Fujido Gaohu's heart, this indecisive man is not a hero.

And Maeda Yili, the leader of the generals faction, was even more embarrassed.

Fujido Takatora left without saying goodbye, which slapped her in the face.She couldn't handle the people sent by the generals, but she was laughed at by outsiders.

Maeda Yili was annoyed and helpless, but he was not as open-minded as Yiyin.

---

In the tea room, Yiyin and Maeda Yili sat and drank tea, and no one else was present.

Maeda Toshiie came to deliver the letter. After Fujido Toraka's death, Maeda Toshiie's situation in the Oda Army became very delicate.

She sent a letter to Yoshihisa through Maeda Toshihisa in Iga.

While reading the letter, Yoshihiro glanced at the fidgeting Maeda Mashiri and said.

"Don't worry too much about Fujido Takahu. I won't take her rudeness to heart. Give her some time to think about it."

Maeda benefit bowed and said.

"The lord is kind, but this is not the behavior a retainer should have.

It was my dereliction of duty and my failure to appease Fujido Ji's emotions that made her lose her manners in front of you and embarrass you. "

Maeda benefit was very annoyed.

First, the samurai family has never had a tradition of being used to people.

Serving the public is to sell your life to the master's family. Mother and daughter kill each other, and sisters fight against each other are common things. What is a dead mother?
That is to say, Shiba Yoshiyin was too kind, and changed to another samurai name. At this moment, Todo Takatora would at least face a severe punishment of reducing the territory.

Second, on the way here, Fujido Takatora did not show the mountains or show the water, but committed stubbornness in front of the lord.Maeda Yili was also caught off guard, making others laugh.

Maeda Masaru has always dominated the military in the past few days with a strong and powerful image, but this time, even the general sent his own people to be unable to restrain her, which greatly damaged her prestige.

But Yoshihiko Shiba expressed his tolerance and didn't care. How could she, as a retainer, take over and act on her behalf, even more tempered than the lord?
Maeda Yoshiki felt uncomfortable, seeing her so entangled, Yoshihiro could only shake his head helplessly and change the subject.

"What do you think is the letter from Li's family?"

Maeda Yili had been curious for a long time, and now he heard that the lord was willing to reveal it, so he immediately cheered up.

Maeda Toshiie's contribution to lead Mingzhi is obviously to fight for a qualification to marry.

For this fourth aunt who was once close, Maeda Yili admired her bravery and wisdom, but was also worried that she would take away his lord.

To Maeda Toshiie's letter, Maeda Toshiie felt very itchy and did not dare to take the initiative to ask about it.

Now the lord is willing to say it himself, of course she must listen carefully to Maeda Toshiie's plan, and the nonsense of Todo Takatora has been temporarily thrown aside.

Yiyin put the letter on the case and said.

"Most of the Oda army is going to withdraw from Minami River and go back to participate in the busy farming. The Li family wants to follow the army back to the territory and ask me for instructions."

Maeda Yoshiki frowned.

Maeda Toshiie and Todo Toraka do not have much military power, but they represent the presence of the Shiba family in Minami Omi.

It's easy to leave, but hard to go back.

Todo Takataka died inexplicably, and Todo Takataka left without saying goodbye, and the leader Todo must have withdrawn his troops to return.If the Maeda Toshi family also withdraws, how will the Shiba family intervene in Minami Omi in the future?
Oda Nobunaga will definitely lock the door and not give the Shiba family an excuse to intervene again.

Maeda benefit said.

"She can't hold on anymore?"

Yiyin shook his head.

"not easy.

Oda Nobunaga has been guarding against the Toshi family, changing her territory to Kami-gun, Mino Country, is to transfer her away from the core area of ​​the Oda family, the Nobi Plain.

The warrior family under her command moved not long ago, thinking about the harvest of the territory.The death of Fujido Toraka made her troubled by some rumors in Minami Omi.

Internally and externally, it is inconvenient for the Li family to continue to stay in the south near the river. "

Maeda benefit nodded, standing in the position of Maeda Toshiie, it is meaningless for her to continue to persist in Minami Omi.

Oda Nobunaga dared to kill Fujido Toraka, he was in a hurry, Maeda Toshiie himself was also in danger.What's more, she changed her seal not long ago, and her basic market is still not stable. Going back early is beneficial to the morale of the army and the people.

Maeda Yoshiki was still thinking about it, but Yoshihiro said suddenly.

"Toshika mentioned the Shibazhong Fund to me in the letter, hoping that the main family can expand the annuity to Owari Shiba as soon as possible.

In addition, Kami-gun, Mino-kuni prefecture crosses Mt. Heike to the north, and Nogo Hakusan is the boundary of Echizen.

Although the Ryohaku Mountains are difficult to travel, there are mountain roads that can be accessed after all. Toshika hopes to share some benefits with Owari Shiba on the Hokuriku Road trade route. "

Maeda benefit narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

The so-called samurai territory refers to the land servants of small villages who are responsible to the superior lords of the samurai family.

To put it simply, a group of small warlords are loyal to the middle warlords in their own territory, and a group of middle warlords are loyal to the big warlords who rule them.

This kind of relationship is very unstable. The tradition of the martial arts to reward the public is actually to use the public to trade the rewards and reach a win-win contract.

But the landlord's family is not always prosperous, and the landlord's family also has days when there is no food left.When the green and the yellow are not connected, it is the high incidence period of the next attack.

The core area of ​​Oda in Owari Mino Ryogoku is the Noo Plains, while the mountainous area where Gujo-gun is located is not the boundary that Oda Nobunaga cares most about.

That's why Oda Nobunaga generously rewarded Toshiie Maeda with [-] stones. In fact, he threw her away from the core area to a corner, which was regarded as a precaution.

In Maeda Toshiie's view, this is not a bad thing.The poor ghosts in the mountains are actually easier to bribe than the warriors in the plains.

Not only is it cheap to buy the Samurai family in the mountains, but most of them are also brave and fearless, which is very cost-effective.As long as they are fed enough money and food, they will be a strong army that dares to fight at critical moments.

Gushang County is backed by the Liangbaishan Mountains and overlooks the Nobi Plain. In fact, its geographical location is very important.Oda Nobunaga was too confident to let Maeda Toshiie occupy this strategic mountain.

And the Hokuriku Road trade route of Shiba's family happened to be on the other side of the Ryohaku Mountains, which just gave Maeda Toshie a chance to do business and make money.

The Shibachu Fund can buy the loyalty of the middle and lower-level samurai, and the business profits of the Hokuriku Road trade route can satisfy the high-level samurai.

Only if the economy and people's livelihood in Owari Shiba can be improved, the samurai here will return to their hearts.Maeda Toshiie was desperately sending Owari Shiba to Shiba Yoshiyin's arms.

Shiba Yoshigin has been away from Owari country for too long, and Owari Shiba leader said that it was the territory of the Shiba family, but it was actually taken down by Maeda Toshiie with one hand and one foot.

Maeda Toshiie is willing to give everything for love, but her retainers may not be willing.

The family business is not the personal property of the family governor, or even the private property of the main family, but the public property of the retainer group under the family name, the entire Wu family group.

The better Maeda Toshiie develops Owari Shibaling, the more he will face a serious problem, that is, Owari Shibaling does not have a sense of identity with Shiba Yoshiyin.

The relationship between Shiba Yoshiyin and Owari Shiba Ling is too weak. One day he will have a conflict with Oda Nobunaga, and Maeda Toshiie can't guarantee that he can pull Owari Shiba Ling to the Shiba's side.

So, she needs to plan ahead.

Maeda Toshi used the Shibachu Foundation and the Hokuriku Road trade route to tie up the Owari Shiba collar, which was in line with Yoshigin's wishes.

he praised.

"With the help of the family, Owari Sipoling will surely fall into my trap."

Seeing that the lord admired Maeda Toshiie so much, Maeda Yili couldn't help being unconvinced, and said.

"It's nothing more than profit buying, what's the big deal."

Yiyin shook his head and said earnestly.

"When I was young, I always thought that money is omnipotent. It is not until today that I fully understand that money is really omnipotent.

Never underestimate the power of money and food, Yi Ji.The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world is for profit.

Lijia is much more sober than you on this point. "

Maeda Yoshikashi was already a well-known cultural figure, and he even had the nickname of a strange person.

She is a well-educated and capable military general, and she originally looked down on Kong Fang's utilitarian rhetoric about miracles.

But these words came from Shiba Yoshigin's mouth, and she couldn't refute them, so she could only agree reluctantly.

Seeing Yoshihiro's forever sixteen-year-old immature face, Maeda Yoshiki couldn't help muttering in his heart, how old are you now when you were young.

Seeing her insincere words, Yiyin smiled and remained silent.

He has been a man for two lives, has read history, and has seen the world. Although he is sometimes easy to get ahead, he never dares to underestimate the power of the bondage of interests.

For the samurai, a profit-seeking social animal, where righteousness is the skin and interests are the bones, Maeda Toshiie's countermeasures are very good.

Although the [-] stones in Junshang County cannot be said to be very strong, it is a knife placed over the head of Noowei Plain.

Oda Nobunaga was too confident and gave the Shiba family this enclave, and Yoshigin had to find a way to grab the samurai in this place.At the critical moment, this surprise soldier may be of unexpected use.

As for Maeda Yili, she has the reserve of a cultured person and the arrogance of outstanding military achievements, too.

The most important thing is that there is Maeda Toshihisa behind her helping her with common affairs, which makes her feel a little ignorant of the sufferings of the people.

Seeing her arrogant and unconvinced face, Yiyin admired it a little.He just likes Maeda Yoshiki's unique aloofness, mixed with the dog-licking temperament in front of him, which is very interesting.

There is a beauty in being different, it's better than every warrior Ji who sleeps on his bed is carved out of the same mold.

Exactly the same, so what's the point?
