different warring states of japan

Chapter 1349

In Oda Nobunaga's heart, the Ashikaga Shogunate was already a crumbling and dangerous building, which would collapse with a slight push.Defeating the idiot Ashikaga Yoshiaki really made her unable to bring up the thrill of conquest.

After failing to integrate the shogunate, Shiba Yoshigin quickly admitted his mistake and withdrew from Kyoto to hide his strength and bide his time.This determination to surpass women is impressive, but it makes Oda Nobunaga fearful.

But even if Oda Nobunaga wanted to compete with the world-renowned Ashikaga military god, Shiba Yoshigin didn't intend to head-on.Both sides are developing independently according to their own strategies.

She can only lament that the interesting things in the world are only between you and me, without you, the past few days are really boring.

---

Beidahe, Duowen Mountain City.

Shiba Yoshiyin did not come back, but in recent days, bigwigs from all sides of Siba's leadership still gathered in his city to meet.

The Settsu Kingdom is in constant war, and the conflicts in Ashikaga and Oda have intensified. This is an eventful time.Let's talk about the current situation, so that we can coordinate our positions and work for you to share your worries.

The main seat in the hall is vacant at the top, and Nizi Shengjiu, the acting official of Jinji Sibo, presides over the meeting at the bottom.

Among the concubines who participated in the deliberations were General Maeda Yoshitoshi, Kyoto Diplomat Mitsuhide Akechi, Shiba Town Executive Takada Yono, and Shibachu Foundation Deacon Ishida Mitsunari.

In addition, there are also the third grandmaster of the Ninja Confidentiality Group, and Yagyu Zongji of the Yagyu Group, who are present as observers.

After several people greeted and greeted each other, Akechi Mitsuhide asked Takada Yono with a smile.

"How is Master Xue Nai? Why didn't you see her come to the meeting?"

The eyes of several people followed Akechi Mitsuhide's question to Takada Yono, and Takada Yono couldn't help but want to scold his father, Akechi Mitsuhide, that bastard.

Takada Yukino took the Mibu wolves of the Shinsengumi and slaughtered almost all of the Shibachu Foundation.This bloody method shocked everyone.

The Sibo Zhong Foundation has a corruption problem, which is something that everyone knows to some extent.The leaders of all parties also want to take advantage of this incident to allow themselves to occupy a favorable political position after the corruption liquidation.

But no one expected that Takada Yukino would be so ruthless and do everything right away, leaving everyone with nowhere to go.

Fortunately, Yiyin sent a letter of guilt from Kanto, pinning the blame on himself, and resolved the crisis.

On the one hand, Yiyin helped the big bosses of all parties to solve the problem, on the other hand, he defended Takada Yukino, and finally made this matter go away.

Akechi Mitsuhide was the only one among the concubines present who did not get involved in this matter.

Before and after the establishment of the Shibachu Foundation, she was whipped by Yoshihiro because of Ashikaga Yoshiki's death, and she was strictly ordered to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors.

When everyone was grabbing benefits, she wasn't there.When everyone was being beaten, she was naturally happy to watch the show on the shore.

A major corruption case, the calculations of the big bosses of all parties, were all messed up by Takada Yukino's butcher's knife.

Takata Yokino suppressed his younger sister Takata Yukino this time and refused to let her come, just because he didn't want to stir up everyone's sadness, and don't make too much trouble with all parties.

But Akechi Mitsuhide asked the question knowingly, and brought the topic to the bright spot, which made Takada Yono itch his teeth with hatred and secretly scolded Akechi Mitsuhide for being a tiger with a smiling face.

But on the face, Takada Yono said with a smile.

"As the weather gets warmer, Xue Nai's old injuries show signs of recurring, so it's inconvenient to go out.

Sir Nizi, I remember that Xue Nai has been removed from the position of leader by the lord, and now he is without an official.

It was Jin Dadian's order to let her stay in Sakai Port to recuperate.It shouldn't be a problem if she doesn't come to the meeting, right? "

Takada Yoshino didn't want to cause trouble, but it didn't mean she was afraid of trouble.

Now that Akechi Mitsuhide made his words clear, Takada Yono naturally had to make a clear distinction, so as not to give people the excuse that the Takata sisters ignored the law and dared to make their own opinions and not participate in the review.

Xue Nai is the person Yi Yin wants to protect from death, so Yang Nai put Yi Yin's order ahead of him to see who dares to talk nonsense.

Nizi Shengjiu glanced at the smiling Akechi Mitsuhide, feeling a little bored in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of corruption to defile himself, so that he could get rid of the shackles of recent Sibo collars, and no longer have to wipe the buttocks of these bastard colleagues.

But the lord is wise and wise, and has seen through her thoughts.Nizi Shengjiu's heart was reassured that Nizi's family's external feudal clan could be withdrawn.But recently, she is still the Deputy Chief of Sibo, and she still has to take care of this mess.

A major corruption case has discounted the spirit of all parties by seven points. Takada Yukino's arrogance of killing people for the king made everyone terrified, and everyone temporarily lost all thoughts of fighting among themselves.

In addition, the external environment does not allow it.

Although Ashikaga Oda is friendly on the surface, there are already swords and swords under the table, you come and go.

The Ise country rebellion was quickly quelled by Oda Nobunaga, but the chaos in Settsu country intensified.Mibuchi Fujihide of the local powerful faction was also involved, and the fate was unpredictable.

Sometimes Nizi Shengjiu really wants to cry, and my mother is not the master of Sibo. She dare not and is not qualified to mix these top-level samurai struggles.

But if the master doesn't come back, who will take the blame?
This convening of Zhu Ji to discuss the matter is also to coordinate everyone's positions, and to ensure that Sibo Ling can survive this series of turmoil safely before the lord returns to Jinji.

Who knows, before he could say a word, Mitsuhide Akechi fired the gun first, and brought up another major corruption case that everyone wanted to pretend to be invisible and coldly dealt with.

Fortunately, Takada Yoshino was not a good opponent, so he blocked a few words in the name of the lord, and Nizi Shengjiu quickly agreed.

"Yes, the lord's order is something we must obey.

Just as the lord asked us to jointly maintain the unity of the neighboring islands when he left, this is what we must do. "

Nizi Shengjiu said, and glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi, she was talking about this bastard who was not conducive to unity, with a hint of warning.

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, ignored the warning in her eyes, and continued.

"The people sitting here are all important officials in the family, of course, we must put Siba's family business as the most important thing, unite as one, and tide over the difficulties together.

I was just curious, so I asked about Master Yukino's recent situation. Master Yang Nai is too sensitive.

By the way, there is something I need to clarify.

The lord has postponed his return to recent days this time, and I wrote to Kanto, asking him not to leave for the time being, and to wait and see the changes in recent days. "

Akechi Mitsuhide hadn't finished speaking when Maeda Yoshiro slammed his palm on the tatami and cursed.

"Okay Mitsuhide Akechi, I came today to ask you about this!

How many things have happened recently, why do you want to prevent the Lord from coming back to preside over the overall situation?What is your intention?

Could it be that the important task of defending Kyoto given by the general made you grateful to Dade, and you only wanted to be a good vassal of the shogunate, but forgot the favor of the lord? "

Maeda Masaru was so angry.

As the chief general of the recent Siberian Army, except for her meritorious service in the military operation against the Liujiao family in the first year, she has no chance to perform after that.

After training for three years in the Iga Basin and preparing armaments for three years, all the troops are almost stupid.

What the hell is going on in troubled times right now!In the past few days, it seems that the Spaniards are in a peaceful and prosperous age!
Outsiders are afraid of Sibo Yiyin's prestige and dare not disturb him.The internal New Life Movement intensified, making Ma Fang Nanshan as leisurely and contented as he was.

As a military officer in peacetime, Maeda benefit is very painful.She watched the nun Shengjiu who was in charge of internal affairs, and the wise Mitsusu who was in charge of foreign affairs rectify the wind and rain, feeling very uncomfortable.

Now Takada Yono and Ishida Mitsunari, who are engaged in business, can sit side by side with her, which makes her even more confused.

Are we even considered warriors?
Finally, Oda Nobunaga led the troops to enter Kinji, and the war approached Kinki Shiba again. It was finally her turn to show her skills.

But Akechi Mitsuhide suppressed Shiba Yoshigin, the lord, and refused to let him come back to preside over the overall situation, and wanted the Shiba family to stand by in this political storm.

Hearing this news, Maeda Masari's dream of military achievements died again, and she was so angry that she slapped the table on the review board, wanting to quarrel with Akechi Mitsuhide.

Akechi Mitsuhide asked a rhetorical question.

"It's strange, I just went to write a letter to the Lord of Guandong Jinyan, and I came here today to be open and honest with you.

Maeda Mashiki-sama, where did you get the news?I heard that you have an old relationship with the hottest upstart in Kanto recently, Mr. Chang'an, Dazang. Could it be that she gave you the news? "

Maeda Masayoshi squinted at Akechi Mitsuhide and said coldly.

"My lord will not comment on recent events for the time being. It is already well known in Kanto Shiba, who told me this news, is it very important?

I would like to ask you, why do you want to prevent the Lord from returning?In case something major happens, can you afford the responsibility?Or do you want us to be unlucky together? "

The news about Maeda's interests did come from Dazang Chang'an.

Shiba Yoshiyin's followers in the Kanto, except for the Kanto faction like Okuma Chaoxiu, and the Kansai faction are all from the entourage recommended by various schools.

For example, Ishida Mitsunari was recommended by Todo Toraka, Daizo Changan was recommended by Maeda Benefit, and Ina Chuji was recommended by Maeda Toshiie.

Everyone is in the same mind, giving people a chance to stand out, leaving a good relationship, and spreading some news through multiple channels in Kanto.

It's not that Maeda's interest is stealing the secrets of Kanto Shiba, Dazang Chang'an has a normal relationship with her, what is she afraid of?
It's just that Akechi Mitsuhide named Dazang Chang'an, which made all the concubines on guard, and Maeda Yili was very upset.

Her counterattack was also sonorous and powerful. Akechi Mitsuhide prevented the lord from coming back. This was causing trouble for everyone, so naturally she had to accept the doubts of the concubines.

It was also the first time for Nizi Shengjiu to hear about this, and said with a grim expression.

"Smart Ji, you have to give me an explanation."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga were fighting, and Niko Katsuhisa was not qualified to mix.However, the fire at the city gate caused disasters to the fish in the pond, and in the past few days, the Sibo leaders will inevitably be passively involved in this storm.

Nizi Shengjiu has been under the greatest pressure as the Deputy Chief of Sibo in recent years.Hearing that it was Akechi Mitsuhide who blocked Shiba Yoshigin from coming back to preside over the overall situation, he immediately became annoyed.

Akechi Mitsuhide was also calm, she said.

"The lord has made a policy of keeping a low profile and withdrawing from the capital to get back, in order to stay away from the central dispute.

The Shiba family has already done once before the joint shogunate against Oda.But the general didn't appreciate it, and even beat him back, and the lord was forced to become a monk to practice, to prove his innocence.

Now in the dispute between the shogunate and the Oda family, the shogun has already lost the upper hand.When the lord comes back at this time, if the general asks the lord to come out to do things for the shogunate, will the lord help or not?
Helping the general suppress the Oda family, the general has to be afraid of the strength of the lord.Unable to suppress the Oda family, it was just a feud with the Oda family.

Both left and right are wrong, why did the Shiba family go into this muddy water? "

Maeda profit was not convinced.

"If the lord can unite the shogunate and suppress the Oda family, he will surely become famous and admired by all the concubines. Even if the general fears the Shiba family, what can he do with the Siba family?
But if the Oda family had the upper hand, suppressed the shogun, and achieved a great cause that Miyoshi Changqing failed to succeed, and His Highness Oda dominated the shogunate politics, the Shiba family would be completely passive.

Of the three Oda families in Ashisbo, the Oda family is the strongest.

If the Oda family wins the shogunate again, who will compete with them?At that time, people will serve as knives and I will serve as fish. Shouldn't we be slaughtered by the Oda family?

Intervening in the dispute earlier is also to gain the initiative. If the balance between Ashikaga and Oda can be well balanced, it will be in the best interest of the Shiba family. "

Maeda's strategy is very correct militarily.The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, it is better to unite the weak against the strong than to wait for the strong to swallow the weak, and then clean up yourself.

But politics has never been as simple as military cooperation.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki is despicable, she is already an Ashikaga general and has an orthodox title in the shogunate.

Oda Nobunaga is on the road of innovation. What she has to do is to overthrow the Ashikaga Shogunate and start over.

Therefore, Oda Nobunaga can ignore Ashikaga Yoshiaki, first puppet her up, and then establish a new Oda Gongyi to replace the Ashikaga shogunate.

But Yoshihiro Shiba couldn't do that.

Shiba Yoshigin's reputation is grafted on Genji's descendant's title of ruling the world. He must uphold tradition and righteousness and act as the patron saint of the samurai family admired by samurai all over the world.

The fact that the Shiba family was able to confront the Ashikaga shogun of the shogunate and Oda Nobunaga who possessed more than two million stones with a volume of two to three million stones was borrowed from the four words of awe-inspiring righteousness.

If Shiba Yoshigin helps Ashikaga Yoshiaki against Oda Nobunaga, it will be tantamount to going back to the deadlock in Kyoto before.

If you lose, naturally there is no benefit.But even if Oda Nobunaga is defeated, the ungrateful Ashikaga Yoshiaki will inevitably turn his face again and want to remove Shiba Yoshigin's threat to her.

Sibo Yoshigin is the embodiment of righteousness, what can he do to the orthodox shogunate Ashikaga general?

Bring Ashikaga Yoshiaki down, and his reputation is over.If you retreat and make concessions, you will be made a fuss by the general inside and outside.

Yiyin's current situation is more troublesome than Cao Cao's treatment of Han Xiandi. At least Cao Cao is not burdened with the name of a saint.

But if Yiyin usurps the throne, it is similar to Confucius usurping the emperor of Zhou. Can Confucius still be regarded as the sage of Confucius admired by all ages?

Therefore, the dirty work of overthrowing the shogunate can only be done by Oda Nobunaga.

No matter how bad the situation is after Ashikaga Yoshiaki was defeated by Oda Nobunaga, Shiba Yoshigin cannot enter the field early.

Because no matter how powerful Oda Nobunaga is, she, the revolutionary who disturbed the world, has original sins. Yoshihiro can rely on the power of the conservatives to fight her and fight for the samurai world.

But if Ashikaga Yoshiaki wins, it will be a real political deadlock for Shiba Yoshiyin, a dilemma, and there will be endless troubles no matter what you do.
