different warring states of japan

Chapter 1271

The originally stable order of power between the Hosokawa Mibuchi and his two families did run into trouble.

This matter was caught by Akechi Mitsuhide's words, and Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help but glared at her, revealing his lack of confidence.

Thinking of Akechi Mitsuhide's provocations every time, and Shiba Yoshigin's dislike of him, Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help feeling sad.

Since she was very intelligent, she was regarded as the proud daughter of heaven, but who knew the bitterness in her heart?

All these troubles stem from the word love, which is really a sinful fate.

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't gloat like Hosokawa Fujitaka thought, but was vigilant.

Hosokawa Fujitaka was trapped by love, it was Akechi Mitsuhide who seduced and entangled step by step until now, in order to use the strategy of doves to occupy the magpie's nest in the future and swallow the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.

Akechi Mitsuhide is very aware of Hosokawa Fujitaka's ability, Mibuchi Fujihide is far inferior to her.But even if Mibuchi Fujihide's talents are useful, Akechi Mitsuhide will not spend effort on others.

Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide were close friends back then, and they had a close relationship.Sensible Mitsuhide why bother to look for someone else.

Akechi Mitsuhide could barely accept Shiba Yoshigin into Hosokawa Fujitaka's arms.To be a turtle mother one more time, she would feel sick herself.

That being the case, seeing that Hosokawa Fujitaka's position in the Hosokawa Mibuchi family is being threatened by Mibuchi Tohide, Akechi Mitsuhide will of course help Hosokawa Fujitaka to gain a firm foothold.

Hosokawa Motochang didn't know that Akechi Mitsuhide had already started planning for Hosokawa Mibuchi's family. She invited Akechi Mitsuhide over this time because she had her own worries.

At this moment, seeing Akechi Mitsuhide politely congratulated him, although he was a little embarrassed, he still smiled.

"Master Gongfang values ​​Tengying and entrusts him with a heavy responsibility, which is the blessing of Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family.

We are valued by the shogunate, so we should do our best to share the worries of the shogunate.

This time I invite Mr. Akechi to come here, and I also want to ask, what does the Odai Institute think of the Miyoshi crusade by the shogunate and the Oda family? "

Akechi Mitsuhide was thinking about how to help Hosokawa Fujitaka, when he heard Hosokawa Moto often tried, he replied with a smile.

"My lord became a monk and practiced in the Jinduo Hall, and it is inconvenient to call him the Great Royal Terrace.

Regarding the affairs of the shogunate, the lord is unwilling to talk too much, which will attract criticism.But as the elder of Genji, my lord has a natural responsibility to the shogunate.

Regarding the shogunate wanting to avenge the ancestors and crusade against Miyoshi's family.The lord is very relieved to hear that, and the Shiba family must support it. "

Hosokawa Moto often glanced at Mibuchi Haruyuki, both of them looked disappointed.

Mitsuhide Akechi is very slick, far less benevolent and easy to deal with than Yoshihiro Shiba.She seemed to have said everything, but the Mibuchi and Hosokawa families did not get any useful information.

Shiba Yoshigin is also very powerful. Seeing that things in Kyoto cannot be done, he retreats to advance and becomes a monk to practice to avoid confrontation with Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Although he gave up the title of the descendant of Genji in Hanoi, he used the imperial white flag of Mrs. Hachiman as a token, and claimed to be the elder of Genji, which made Ashikaga Yoshiaki suffer a dumb loss.

Hanoi Genji's descendant, the elder of Genji, the pillar of the samurai family, and the general who conquered Yi, were originally the four-in-one Ashikaga general titles that were progressive.

Now, an elder Genji was forced to be ripped off by Yoshihiro Shiba, and Yoshiaki Ashikaga faced the embarrassment of missing one of three.

But Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't say anything, because she was too ugly to eat, and secretly conspired to force Shiba Yoshigin, a widow, out of Ashikaga's house, which provoked Shiba Yoshigin's counterattack.

The samurai families in the world were happy to see her jokes about this unrighteous general, so they got the name of Shiba Yoshigin's Genji Elder, and all the girls agreed.

This is also an important reason why Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally decided to cooperate with Oda Nobunaga.

The internal conflicts in the shogunate were fierce, and Ashikaga Yoshitoshi made it clear.Only by fighting abroad and exporting contradictions can the results of the battle be used to re-establish her prestige as the new general.

Akechi Mitsuhide shouted to support the shogunate, but put Shiba Yoshigin's Genji Elder's name in front of his head, clearly saying that the Ashikaga family and the Shiba family do not have a boundary, so don't talk about the Shiba family if you have nothing to do.

Hosokawa Moto is often in a dilemma.

Shiba Yoshigin was very dissatisfied with Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family because of Hosokawa Fujitaka's petty actions.

Even in the end, Shiba Yoshigin reluctantly forgave the two families, but the relationship between the two families and the Shiba family has deteriorated greatly.

What's more, it is Mitsuhide Akechi, the black-bellied fox, who stays in Kyoto to negotiate with the shogunate. The special relationship between Haruto Mibuchi and Yoshigin Shiba is not needed, making the two families even more passive.

Moto Hosokawa thought for a while and said.

"Master Wise is right. The death of the ancestors is a catastrophe for the shogunate, and it is even more painful for Jin Dadian to lose his lover.

We and other powerful factions in the shogunate are united in the same breath, and the grief of Jin Dadian is the grief of all of us.

In this expedition against the Miyoshi, we will put Jindaden's will first, obey Jindadian's orders, and fight for the revenge of the ancestors. "

Hosokawa Motochang doesn't want her old face anymore, she knows that both Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga want to use the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.

But compared to them, Motojo Hosokawa believed in Shiba Yoshigin's character more.

Even if the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families insisted, they still had to put up the sign of the local power faction and guard Shiba Yoshigin's flag.

Everyone is a shogunate samurai, and of course the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families will contribute to the conquest of Miyoshi.However, she obeyed Jin Duodian's orders one by one, just to find a reason for her future autonomy.

Yu Gong, Shiba Yoshigin is the leader of the local powerful faction, unless Ashikaga Yoshiaki wants to tear his face, otherwise he will not cross Shiba Yoshiyin and force Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family to act.

In private, the shogunate sent troops to avenge Shiba Yoshihiro's wife, so they must give Shiba Yoshihiro a face, right?

As long as there is room for negotiation, the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families will have room to maneuver, and will not be used as cannon fodder by the shogunate and the Oda family.

Akechi Mitsuhide certainly understands Hosokawa Motosune's thoughts, and she is also happy to see it.

The Hosokawa Mibuchi family felt the external pressure and were willing to take the initiative to move closer to the Shiba family, which was beneficial to the unity of the local power faction.

This is a good thing for the Shiba family.

Akechi Mitsuhide said.

"His Highness Hosokawa deeply understands righteousness, and I admire you.

As His Highness said, the local powerful factions are united in one heart and one mind.I happen to have a matter here, and I implore the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families for help. "

Moto Hosokawa narrowed his eyes slightly.

"But it doesn't matter."

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly and said.

"His Highness Hatakeyama is resolute and resolute, his stand is unwavering, and what he has done has won the approval of my lord. Before the lord retired to return to his residence, he once praised His Highness Hatakeyama's leadership talents, which can be used to great advantage.

I thought, since everyone is a powerful local faction, why don't the three of us write a letter together, begging the public to approve this matter.

It is not a good thing to be in charge for a long time, His Royal Highness Hatakeyama's family status is enough to take on this position, we can help him. "

Akechi Mitsuhide rebelled against the general, making the princesses of Hosokawa Mibuchi froze, there was a deep meaning behind these words.

Hatakeyama Takamasa's firm stand?Not only firm, but also a mad dog.

When Shiba Yoshigin was in Beijing, Hatakeyama Takamasa was his strongest supporter.It is not surprising that Yoshihiro Shiba reciprocated and wanted to support Takashi Hatakeyama as the leader.

But when Akechi Mitsuhide brought this up in front of Hosokawa Mibuchi's family, the taste changed.

Hatakeyama Takamasa was expelled from Nanhanoi by Yusa Nobuyoshi. As a subordinate, Mibuchi Tohide not only did not stand up, but even turned around and suppressed Hatakeyama Takamasa in an attempt to quell the incident.

If it weren't for Shiba Yoshiyin who came back quickly enough, Hatakeyama Takamasa didn't know how much more he would suffer, how could this mad dog not bear his grudge?
If Hatakeyama Takamasa is allowed to become the head of the shogunate, she will probably embarrass Mibuchi Fujihide.

But Akechi Mitsuhide's words blocked the back road of Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family. Didn't you say that the local powerful factions are all in the same spirit?

Don't just shout slogans, get some benefits.Helping Hatakeyama Takamasa become the head of the shogunate is even the statement of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.

Hosokawa Moto often frowned and thought.

Once the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families express their stance, Ashikaga Yoshiaki will most likely agree to the position of Hatakeyama Takamasa. After all, today's Hatakeyama clan has already fallen and has no ability to threaten the Ashikaga general's family.

It's no problem to give a name to a false name. Anyway, in the shogunate, there are many shabby households with high and empty positions.

But the three families of Shiba Hosokawa and Mibuchi jointly signed a letter, together with the nominated Hatakeyama family, this is a signal that the local powerful factions of the shogunate are regrouping and making a comeback. Can Ashikaga Yoshiaki be comfortable?
Moto Hosokawa thought about it, and laughed at himself.

It is impossible for one's own family to take advantage of all the benefits in the world. The current predicament of Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family is because they want to take advantage of the fence too much, and they end up not being human inside and outside.

This time, she decided to stand firm.

Hosokawa Motochang said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Mitsuhide Akechi, Her Highness Hatakeyama is a member of our local power faction, if we don't support her, who else can we support?

I will write the paperwork for Shangzou and send it to you for review and note. I will go up with Chen Shangzuo and ask for the permission of the public. "

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said with satisfaction.

"His Highness Hosokawa has a heart."

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Hosokawa Fujitaka next to her, which was also a way of pulling an old friend.

Hosokawa Fujitaka offended Shiba Yoshigin, and Mibuchi Fujihide offended Hatakeyama Takamasa. On the outside, it seemed that Hosokawa Fujitaka was miserable, but it was not.

Yoshihiko Shiba is benevolent and righteous, and treats things not people.Hatakeyama Takamasa has an extreme temper, and he will take revenge when anything happens.

As the old saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.Mibuchi Fujihide offended Hatakeyama Takamasa so much, how could he have a good life?

As for Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was secretly helped by Mitsuhide Akechi, he was already on the list of the plan to occupy the magpie's nest. Shiba Yoshigin also knew about it, so naturally he would not argue with her any more.

The Hosokawa Sanbuchi and the two concubines seem to be having a hard time, but the inner difference is quite big.

Secretly entrusting Hosokawa Fujitaka with a hand, Akechi Mitsuhide continued to play with Hosokawa Moto without changing his expression until he said goodbye and left.

After Akechi Mitsuhide left, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Tohide looked at each other, and then looked away.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki took out a huge bargaining chip, and Mibuchi Fujihide had to show something.What the Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family did in the end was the same thing, and she had to have the attitude of Mibuchi Fujihide's heart for the shogunate.

Now that Fushimi Castle is in his hands, he can no longer spit it out. Hosokawa Mototsu and Mibuchi Haruto can also understand Mibuchi Fujihide's support for the general's statement.

But Hosokawa Fujitaka is in trouble. Mibuchi Fujihide was originally her eldest sister, but now her strength has increased greatly, and she has the aura to overwhelm her.

Whether in public or private, it is impossible for Hosokawa Fujitaka to admit defeat.The Izumi Hosokawa family must be at the helm of the Hosokawa-Mibuchi two consortium. This is an unquestionable bottom line.

Although Hosokawa Mototsuji and Mibuchi Haruyuki couldn't take sides overtly, for the future stability of the two families, they must be on Hosokawa Fujitaka's side.

All four people present understood this matter.

But it is clear and clear, the benefits of Fushimi Castle are wanted by the two families, and Mibuchi Fujihide's personal ambitions are also around the corner.

This tacit good day is still to come.

---

It doesn't matter how the Hosokawa Mibuchi two families are balanced and coordinated.

Akechi Mitsuhide had just returned to Shiba's mansion and learned that Hatakeyama Takamasa and Ninagawa had been waiting for a long time.

She smiled slightly, and immediately went to the meeting hall to meet the two pillars of the shogunate.

In the meeting room, Hatakeyama Takamasa and Ninagawa were sitting on one side, their expressions were not very good, and they looked at the sliding door together when they saw movement outside the door.

Akechi Mitsuhide opened the door and entered, saluted with a smile.

"I don't know that the two great masters are here, it is really rude."

After the two returned their salutes, the three sat separately.

After being silent for a long while, Ninagawa took the lead to speak and said.

"Master Wise, do you know the news of the shogunate today?"

Akechi Mitsuhide said.

"I just came back from His Royal Highness Hosokawa Motosune, and I haven't heard her mention that there is a council in the shogunate today?"

Ninagawa said.

"Today is the public's lord's impromptu invitation to invite people to discuss, and not many people participated.

After the adoption of the Luozhong legal system, His Royal Highness Oda ordered the current Kyoto garrison officer Hashiba Hideyoshi to take on the post of Kyoto garrison.

As for Mr. Gongfang, today he said that he will serve as the Kyoto garrison nominated by the shogunate. "

Akechi Mitsuhide raised his eyebrows, she really didn't expect Ashikaga Yoshiaki to do this.Does this new general really regard her, Sipo's retainer, as one of his own?
She thought about it and said.

"I am flattered to be valued by Mr. Gongfang."

Ningagawa pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. Her current situation is not very good.

The whole family of Ise Sadaka was killed, and the Ise family in Kyoto, a famous family that had dominated the shogunate government for more than a hundred years, had its roots cut off.

Although the Ninagawa family temporarily controlled the shogunate group and the government office as acting officials of the government office, but the benefits have not yet been seen, and they only got a mess.

The income of the shogunate managed by the government office is mainly divided into three parts.

First, local martial arts donated money.The second is the enshrining of the shogunate's territory, and the third is the commercial tax of the Kyoto castle town.

Miyoshi's trip to Luo completely overturned the shogunate's pretensions.

After the beginning of spring, the donations from local samurai families were almost zero.Except for the Oda family and other Shangluo Wu family's intention to make a move, other places are waiting and watching.

The Sanhao trio and the Shangluo Allied Forces fought in Shancheng State. Although they did not fight for long, the Sanhao family stationed troops in Shancheng State before the war, searched for military supplies, and caused heavy losses to the vassals' territories.

The vassals complained endlessly, and Ninagawa, as the new leader, had no time to appease them.Still begging for money?Stop dreaming!

As for the castle town of Kyoto, it was the focus of the Miyoshi family's plunder.The townspeople are scattered, businesses are dying, and this year's business tax is probably hopeless.

Today's shogunate's finances are a mess, to put it mildly, it is simply a nightmare.
