Chapter 1340 Stupid Fujihide Mibuchi

Ninagawa's parental mother, Ninagawa, was born with Shiba Yoshigin.Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga fought in full swing, and had nothing to do with Siba's forces.

Shiba Yoshigin was in Beijing, with Masaru Ninagawa's own generation and leader Hatakeyama Takamasa as his minions, and he was also the leader of the local power faction in the shogunate, so his position was very detached.

He retreated bravely in the torrent, left the capital by himself, returned to his residence, and became a monk to practice.For his voluntary retreat, the martial arts have a high evaluation.

The Ninagawa family followed him, and didn't pay much attention to the battle between the shogunate and the local powerful vassals. They leaned against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Seeing that Ninagawa's father didn't answer, he seemed to be quite alert.Yamaoka Keitomo smiled awkwardly, she was also helpless, she was actually not willing to be the lobbyist for Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is having a hard time recently. The Ise Takeshi family was provoked by her, but Oda Nobunaga slapped him to the ground, screaming.

This general has the ability to provoke, but not the ability to help.She had no choice but to watch the Ise Wu family being suppressed, but it made everyone see her essence of being tough on the outside and soft on the inside.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki seemed to have been slapped twice by Oda Nobunaga, his cheeks were hot, and he was powerless to fight back.

The funniest thing is that she actually wanted to replicate what Shibo Yoshihiro used to do, unite with the shogunate samurai, and fight against the Oda family.

And the Ninagawa family, who now controls the political office, is one of the targets she wants to win over.In addition, there are Hosokawa Mibuchi and the local power faction.

Shan Gang Jingyou was speechless about this.

At the beginning, Shiba Yoshigin wanted to join forces with Ashikaga Yoshiaki wholeheartedly, with full sincerity.Ashikaga Yoshiaki took the opportunity to stab him, and drove Shiba Yoshiyin away with dirty and innocent methods.

Now that she provoked the leader of the shogunate by herself, she realized that Oda Nobunaga was difficult to deal with, and realized that Shiba Yoshigin's approach was correct.

The infighting shogunate cannot fight against the Oda family. Only by uniting can they have the strength to fight.So, she started poaching Shibo Yoshigin's corner.

Taking advantage of Shiba Yoshigin's absence, she poached Ninagawa's elder brother on the one hand, and Tohide Mibuchi on the other, trying to draw the shogunate group and local power factions into her camp.

What a suffocating operation, can this really strengthen the Ashikaga family?
If Shiba Yoshigin is furious because of this, is Ashikaga Yoshiaki going to fight against the two forces of Shiba and Oda with one against two?

But Jingyou Shangang had no choice.

The Yamaoka family has clearly sided with Oda Nobunaga, so Yamaoka Keitomo, who was kicked out of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, can only follow Ashikaga Yoshiaki all the way to the black.

Yamaoka Keitomo smiled awkwardly, and was about to say something when Ninagawa's father suddenly said.

"Yamaoka Hime, have you heard that Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujihide have fallen out."

Shan Gang Jingyou said in surprise.

"There is such a thing?"

The relationship between Hosokawa and Mibuchi's two families is unusual. They are called two families, but they are actually one family.

The two family governors, Hosokawa Mototsu and Mibuchi Haruyuki, are sisters, and the two heirs, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujiei, are also sisters.

Moreover, these four people have a radish and a pit, each as the governor of the family, and each as the heir. They all have a bright future, and there is no basis for other warriors to fight for power.

The Izumi Hosokawa family is a powerful local faction outside, and the Mibuchi family is a vassal inside. They cooperate and support each other, which can be described as the best combination.

Hearing that the heirs of the Mibuchi and Hosokawa families had a falling out, Keitomo Yamaoka was also very curious.

Ninagawa gave her a meaningful look and said.

"The Hosokawa-Mibuchi family was originally dominated by the Izumi Hosokawa family and the Mibuchi family was supplemented. Hosokawa Fujitaka has long been designated as the future helm of the two families.

But the general wants to win over Mibuchi Fujihide and give him the post of Fushimi Castle, and he is constantly honored and favored every day.

Sanyuan Tengying's heart is also big, she believes that the general values ​​her, and she becomes unscrupulous in her actions, and even got close to Song Yongxiu, and made the idea of ​​the Hetian family's Gaoguicheng. "

Shan Gang Jingyou shrank his pupils and said solemnly.

"Hime Ninagawa, do you have evidence for your statement?

Both Mr. Wada Yoomasa and Mr. Mibuchi Fujihide are people who are valued by the general. You can't listen to some rumors and hurt the reputation of important ministers. "

Ninagawa's father smiled lightly and said.

"My Ninagawa family is now the head of the vassals. Although the power may not be great, there are always more rumors than others.

I just said it casually for the sake of my old friend, so let me just listen to it.Believe it if you want to believe it, and don't believe it if you don't want to believe it.

To put it bluntly, the general's method of wooing people is really unreasonable.

Mibuchi Fujihide used to be submissive in the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, and she has indeed been blessed these years, making her forget herself and really take herself seriously.

First, Jin Dadian rewarded her as the guardian of Beihanoi, and now she is highly valued by the general, and she is in charge of the important area of ​​Fushimi Castle, which is not envied by others.

But as a human being, you must know how to be content.

You and I know who Matsunaga Hide is, and Hosokawa Fujitaka knows it even better.Miyoshi's family has been reduced to where it is today, and she has contributed a lot.

Mibuchi Fujihide was provoked by Matsunaga Hideo to covet Gaoguicheng, wanted to intervene in Settsu affairs, and turned his face with Hosokawa Fujitaka.I think the good times of Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family are coming to an end.

The recent troubles in Settsu seem to be just disputes among local samurai families, but you and I both know that the general and His Highness Oda are wrestling behind this.

Yamaoka Hime, let me tell you the truth.Our general, I really don't want to get close.The Ninagawa family is now following Jindadian, and they don't want to be prosperous, at least they don't have any accidents.

But if I am persuaded by you today, I am afraid that my Ninagawa family will not have a good life after that.My mother is not very courageous to the outside world, but she still dared to break my legs and lock me at home.

There is a cloud in the sky, the lessons learned from the past, and the teacher of the future.

With the two sisters of Mibuchi Hosokawa fighting against each other, I can only decline to accept the general's kindness. Please understand my difficulties. "

After finishing speaking, Ninagawa bowed slightly, left Yamaoka Keitomo on the spot, and floated up.

Yamaoka Jingyou is not in the mood to be embarrassed at the moment. Although Ninagawa's father refused very straightforwardly, he still revealed an important piece of information to her.

Mibuchi Fujihide is going to attack Wada Yuimasa's Takaki Castle, and the two generals under Ashikaga Yoshiaki's command are going to have internal strife.

Yamaoka Keitomo sighed, she had to go to Nijo Castle immediately and report the matter to Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

---

Kyoto, Shiba Mansion, in a side room.

Furious Hosokawa Fujitaka pointed at Akechi Mitsuhide's nose and shouted.

"Is it you! Are you playing tricks behind your back!"

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly and said.

"Fujitaka, although you and I are good friends, this is Shiba's mansion after all, and I am the diplomatic service of Shiba's family in Beijing after all, so please don't be too rude.

The majesty of the Shiba family cannot be challenged. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka pursed her lips, although Akechi Mitsuhide spoke with a smile, but every sentence she stabbed at Hosokawa Fujitaka's vitals made her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

Seeing that she was silent, Akechi Mitsuhide explained again.

"When Jin Duodian left, he gave me a death order, hoping that the local powerful faction can maintain unity.

You randomly accused me of sowing discord between the two heirs of Hosokawa and Mibuchi. This is a very serious accusation. If Jintaden misunderstands me, I will be in bad luck.

Obviously Mibuchi Tengying drifted away by herself, she thought the general needed her, and there was no taboo in doing things, so what does it matter to me?

Wada Yuimsa worked hard for the general, and finally earned back a Dongsetjin guardian.Sanyuan Tengying was lucky, and took direct aim at Gaogui City.

You know better than me how great the benefits of Gaogui City are.You said it yourself, if Dongsetjin lacks Gaogui City, what is the guardian of Hetian Weizheng?
If you have time to yell at me here, why not find a way to persuade that stupid sister of yours not to be fooled by Song Yongxiu as a knife.

No matter how bad it is, I have to inform Ertiaocheng to see if the general can stop her from messing around. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka said in frustration.

"It's too late, the benefits of Gaogui City are too great, those fools in Beihanoi have already been persuaded by my stupid sister.

The busy spring farming is almost over, and they should have started to mobilize the army by now. "

Akechi Mitsuhide raised his eyebrows and said.

"Sanyuan Tengying dared to start a frontier quarrel, what reason does she have to send troops?"

Hosokawa Fujitaka ignored her question and asked Akechi Mitsuhide instead.

"You said just now that this matter was provoked by Matsunaga Hideo?"

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and said.

"I need information to do things in Beijing, and Jin Duodian gave me the command of a part of the secrecy team.

As far as I know, Song Yongxiu is very considerate to your sister. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.

"This idiot is really stupid."

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.

"The color makes the mind faint, what can I do for it."

Hosokawa Fujitaka took two deep breaths and said.

"Wada Yoomasa asked Matsunaga Hideo to hand over the jurisdiction of the Higashisettsu samurai under his command. Something went wrong, some samurai rioted, and even crossed the border to plunder the Kitakachi samurai.

Sanyuan Tengying just wanted to use this as an excuse to attack Gaogui City, take this city down first, and then discuss with Hetian Weizheng before the imperial court. "

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"What went wrong? Naturally, it was Matsunaga Hideo who instigated it.

Sanyuan Tengying made an excuse to attack, first got Gaoguicheng, and then slowly filed a lawsuit, dragging on, and Gaoguicheng became hers.

It's not such a bad idea. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka cursed with hatred.

"It's not bad, if it's an ordinary local martial arts dispute, this trick can still work if it's delayed.

But who is Wada Yuomasa?That was one of the three guardians of Settsu appointed by the shogunate just now, and the general's supporter.

The general just pacified Settsu just now, and he also took advantage of this to re-establish the authority of the Ashikaga family and secure the position of the general.Mibuchi Fujihide is violating the decision of the shogunate, and something big is going to happen! "

Hosokawa Fujitaka glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide, seeing her smiling and not speaking.She had clearly seen through her intentions for coming, but she still refused to make a statement.

Hosokawa Fujitaka hated secretly in his heart, but he had to swallow his anger and said with a bow.

"Before Jin Daden left for a few days, he hoped that the local powerful factions in the shogunate would maintain unity and stability and not be bullied by outsiders.

Nowadays, some people use the local powerful faction to make troubles. As the leader of the local powerful faction, the Siba family, I implore you to come forward on behalf of the Shiba family and warn the malicious external forces. "

Akechi Mitsuhide said softly.

"That's right, Fujitaka, this is the attitude of asking for help."

The eyes of the two men met, like lightning and flint.Hosokawa Fujitaka clenched his fists tightly, but had to lower his proud head.

She came forward angrily, seeming to ask for help, but in fact she came to ask for help.It's just that she didn't want to show weakness to the bastard Mitsuhide Akechi, which made her act very tough.

Akechi Mitsuhide had seen through her reality, so he talked with her and went around in circles, waiting for her to ask her own initiative, and humiliating.

The situation of Hosokawa Mibuchi's family has changed a lot, and Hosokawa Fujitaka's life is getting more and more difficult.

As the Miyoshi family withdrew from Nishisettsu, the threat of annihilation hanging over Izumi Hosokawa's family for many years finally dissipated.

Hosokawa Mibuchi is a family, and the Izumi Hosokawa family actually owns the land of Izumi and Beihanoi, a total of about [-] koku.

Without the suppression of the Miyoshi family, with the strength of the Izumi Hosokawa family, the retainer group was also unwilling to be lonely, and their minds gradually became active.

The Izumi Hosokawa family, located at the intersection of the shogunate and the Miyoshi family, was originally threatened by the Miyoshi family, and the retainer group always maintained a friendly attitude with the Shiba family to fight against the Miyoshi family.

Hosokawa Fujitaka also relied on the attitude of the retainers at the beginning to drive his mother Hosokawa Mototsu, who didn't want to get involved too much with Shiba Yoshiyin, to Katsuryuji Castle for the elderly, and once took charge of the family power.

But today's situation is different.

Miyoshi's family was driven back to Shikoku Island, and Yoshiaki Ashikaga tried his best to win over Fujihide Mibuchi, so that Hosokawa's retainers saw their own value, hoping to gain more benefits.

Bei Hanoi also relies on the Yodo River, and before daring to take advantage of the Settsu Kingdom samurai family, it was overwhelmed by the Settsu people under the command of the Miyoshi family.

Now that the feng shui is turning, why should the Settsu group of surrenders compete with the Izumi Hosokawa family for the benefits of the shogunate?

The profit of the Yodogawa water transport is too great, enough to make the Hosokawa retainers jealous.Sanyuan Tengying has the general's family members, and Song Yongxiu incites the Dongshejin people to make trouble, and the Shejin side is at fault first.

Mibuchi Fujihide felt that she had a reason. She wanted to take the opportunity to seize Gaogui Castle. In fact, she was seizing the dominance of the Yodo River, the water transportation hub, which is the actual dividing line between Settsu and Hanoi.

Without the threat of Miyoshi's family, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki Huairou to win over, the Hosokawa Retainers, who are obsessed with interests, of course want to take a gamble.

They chose to support Mibuchi Fujihide, while Hosokawa Fujitaka suffered setbacks in his strategic planning several times this year, which had already hurt his prestige, and no one listened to him.

Hosokawa Motochang and Mibuchi Haruhito are old, and they are not binding enough on the retainers to stop Mibuchi Fujihide's military adventure.

Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was in a hurry, had no choice but to turn to Mitsuhide Akechi for help, hoping to use the power of the Shiba family.

She sees the situation very clearly, and doesn't expect Mibuchi Fujihide to reap benefits from Settsu.

She was even more afraid that Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family would be involved in the Ashikaga Oda dispute, and that they would be crushed in the struggle between the two great powers.

Hosokawa Fujitaka can no longer take care of his dislike for Akechi Mitsuhide, because the stupid Mibuchi Fujihide is about to pull Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family into the abyss.
