different warring states of japan

Chapter 1428 Three good siege in progress

Matsunaga Hide lowered her head and gritted her teeth. No wonder Akechi Mitsuhide had the confidence to invite her here. She was really not afraid that she would not cooperate.

The unexpected firefight between Wada Yuichang and Takayama Shigetomo made the situation in Dongsetjin completely out of control.

Originally thought that he was manipulating Shigetomo Takayama behind the scenes, the old subordinates of Dongshejin, Wada Yuishaga did not dare to act rashly, everything was under control.

Who knew that in a firefight, Araki Murashige calmly picked the peaches in Higashi Setjin, and it was too late for Matsunaga Hideo to regret it now.

With the support of Oda Nobunaga, Shibo Yoshiyin unites all parties to fight against the Miyoshi family.Song Yongxiu, who made a mistake, can only cooperate earnestly and strive to be guilty and meritorious, so that he will not be liquidated by Oda Nobunaga in the future.

Matsunaga Hideo's smile became flattering, and she spoke righteously.

"Zhi Zhiji is right, Jin Duo Dian has great righteousness, and we wait for the Wu family to look forward to it day and night, just like children look forward to their parents.

If there is anything that needs me to do, please just ask, the foreign minister will never refuse! "

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded.

"There is really one thing that only Matsunaga Hime can do.

Bearing the expectations of the shogunate, Jindadian is uniting with various families to fight back against Miyoshi's invasion.In the face of this righteousness, Araki Murashige's neutrality seems very out of date and very disharmonious.

I hope that Hime Matsunaga can come forward to persuade Araki Cunzhong to come back from the wrong way and stand on the side of justice. "

Song Yongxiu's eyes went dark when he heard it.

She had just set up a bridge between Araki Murashige and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and reached a tacit understanding of mutual non-aggression.Now, is he going to instigate Araki Village to break the contract again?
Matsunaga Hide still doesn't know whether Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Araki Murashige will fall out because of this.

But the warriors all over the world will definitely despise what I have done, and think that I am a capricious villain. In the future, my reputation will definitely be worse than the toilet!

Song Yongxiu's eyes wandered, his expression was uncertain, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled on his face, his eyes became more and more serious, and asked softly.

"What's wrong with Matsunaga Hime? Is this embarrassing?"

Song Yongxiu was dumbfounded, what the hell is this embarrassing?This is to force me to cut myself off from the martial arts world!
Ming Zhi Guangxiu pretended to be puzzled on the face, but his heart was as firm as a rock and ruthless.

She watched Matsunaga Hideo transform from a good servant of the island country of the Miyoshi family to a villain step by step.Burning the imperial palace, harming the ancestors, destroying three good things, and taking Tianjin indiscriminately, this is a talent.

But unfortunately, she is a restless pawn that no one can control.

Matsunaga Hideo has already taken refuge in Oda Nobunaga, and when Shiba Oda confronts, with her ability to sow dissension, who knows how much trouble it will cause Shiba's family.

The Shiba family itself was very uneasy.

The sense of competition among high-ranking ministers due to marriage, and the regional differences in the Sibo territories in the Kanto and Kansai are all difficult problems to solve.

With Sibo Yiyin's prestige, he barely maintained his unity and was unanimous with the outside world.But if he met a guy who was good at sowing right and wrong, he might mess up Shiba's house without using a knife or a gun.

Strong fortresses are often blasted from the inside. If Matsunaga Hideo is reused by Oda Nobunaga and is responsible for dealing with the Shiba family in the future, Akechi Mitsuhide will also feel uneasy.

So, plan ahead.

The most effective way to deal with someone like Matsunaga Hideo is to completely stink her.

The premise of instigating right and wrong is to make people willing to listen to slanderous rumors. If the instigator has a bad reputation and is guarded against him before he speaks, the effect will not be so good.

Song Yongxiu had been involved in the scandal of Miyoshi Shangluo for a long time, killing the ancestors, and later betrayed Miyoshi's family, so he had a bad reputation in the Wu family.

This time she set up a bridge between Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Araki Murashige.

If she broke up Miyoshi Araki's non-aggression agreement backhandedly at this time, how could the two of them think of her?

Araki Murashige also played tricks behind the scenes, revealing the truth about Matsunaga Hideo's assassination of Wada Yuomasa. Would she help Matsunagahide cover it up and let Matsunaga Hideo continue to be a normal person?
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was even played back and forth by Matsu Nagahide, and he will definitely make this matter public and scold Matsu Nagahide as an untrustworthy and unjust beast.

As long as Matsunaga Hide helped Akechi Mitsuhide break up the agreement between Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Araki Murashige, then she would be the most treacherous and evil person in the world.

What she wants to do in the future, no one dares to trust her anymore, the consequences of credit bankruptcy are very tragic.

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and looked at Matsunaga Hideo, knowing that Matsunagahide would definitely agree.

Just like when Akechi Mitsuhide used Honda Masanobu to induce Matsunaga Hideo's daughter Matsunaga Michi, Shangluo surrounded the Imperial Palace, resulting in the tragic death of the former Odaisho and Ashikaga Yoshiki's younger brother.

Faced with the heinous disaster, Song Yongxiu still managed to find a way, so that the Song Yong family lived well until now.

As Akechi Mitsuhide said, Matsunaga Hideo is really a talent.

Even though she knew that Akechi Mitsuhide's move would kill her half to death, as long as there was still a glimmer of hope in the future, she would try her best to rely on her own wisdom to survive.

Song Yongxiu was silent for a while, smiled calmly, bowed and said.

"I would like to serve Jindadian."

Matsunaga Hideo made a helpless choice, Akechi Mitsuhide showed a gratified smile, and the joy and harmony between the two seemed to be restored again.

Akechi Mitsuhide seemed to have solved a hidden danger for the Shiba family, but she forgot one thing.

There are so many talented people in this world, even if there is no Matsunaga Hideo, there will be others who can use the conflicts in Sipo's family to provoke.

Oda Nobunaga will not, and Hashiba Hideyoshi will too. Flies don't bite seamless eggs. As long as the problems of Shiba's family still exist, there will always be hidden dangers.

In late autumn, Shiba Yoshigin was still in Mount Hiei supervising the retreat of the three Oda Asai Asakura armies to prevent accidents.

Although he hadn't left for West Jinji to clean up Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, his letters had already started to stir up the situation in Jinji.

Late autumn and early winter are not a good time to use troops. Winter weather is cold and supplies are scarce. If you accidentally delay the war until the beginning of spring, you will be young and tired, which will hinder the efficiency of spring plowing.

However, Yiyin did not want to wait until the beginning of spring before dispatching troops.He is difficult, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu will only be more difficult than him.

Miyoshi's recent dispatch of troops this time was not the result of careful consideration.The Miyoshi army is not like the last time when the Miyoshi Changqing four sisters sent troops, they have been preparing for several years, and the logistics supplies are abundant.

The miyoshi army that landed is stationed in a different place in the severe winter and needs more supplies. The sea transportation lines of the four countries cannot meet the expenses of the miyoshi army, so they can only collect and plunder locally to supplement.

Settsu, Tamba, Izumi, Hanoi and other countries have long been separated from the influence of the Miyoshi family, and now Miyoshi Yoshitsugu has returned with a return mission, which will only arouse the will of the local samurai to resist.

Yiyin wants to take advantage of the local samurai's dissatisfaction with the Miyoshi family, quickly defeat the Miyoshi family who has lost the right time, place, and harmony, and root his image of invincibility and righteousness in people's hearts.

Although it is not easy to use troops in late autumn and early winter, the Shiba family has money, food and allies to support them, and the recent winters are not as unbearable as those in Kanto.As long as you can win quickly, it won't have much impact.

The key to quick victory depends on whether Yiyin's letters can play a role.

Akechi Mitsuhide, who received the order from Yoshihiro, acted quickly in Kyoto.

She first used the shogunate samurai's fear of Miyoshi's family to connect the shogunate samurai groups.

Everyone attacked Ashikaga Yoshiaki together, forcing the general to deny the imperial letter sent to Miyoshi's family, and the moral foundation for Miyoshi Yoshiaki's recent landing disappeared.

Then, Akechi Mitsuhide put pressure on Matsunaga Hideo, forcing her to personally dismantle the non-aggression agreement that she helped Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Araki Murashige reach, and drag Araki Village back into the anti-Miyoshi camp.

As long as Araki Village in the Settsu Kingdom turns its face again, the Miyoshi family's army attacking the Izumi and Kawachi families will be immediately behind, and the coast of the Yodo River may be the base for the Settsu people to attack the Miyoshi family.

In the end, in order to remind Araki Village again, Akechi Mitsuhide went to talk to Ninagawa, the acting official of the government office.

After the Ise Sadako was exterminated, Ninagawa Kiyoshi was already the leader of the shogunate group, controlling the government and holding real power.

She was originally the Shibo faction in the shogunate, and her territory was in Tamba country.The last time Miyoshi invaded, Miyoshi Yoshiken conquered Danba country and almost swallowed her territory, but it left her with lingering fears.

This time the Miyoshi family made a comeback, the Hatano family in Tanba country was very nervous, and the Ninagawa family was also very nervous.Although everyone knows that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is not Miyoshi Changqing, but I can't help but feel panicked.

Yoshihiko Shiba was willing to stand up and preside over the overall situation, and once again counterattacked the Miyoshi family. Everyone strongly welcomed it. Ninagawa was the main force who brought all the ministers to Nijo Castle and forced the general to deny Gouaishu.

Akechi Mitsuhide came to her because he wanted to use her relationship in Tamba to seek cooperation from Hideji Hatano, the governor of Tamba.

Back then, the Miyoshi trio confronted the Shikoku Miyoshi family in order to maintain their military strength. They extorted violently in Tamba, which aroused the anger of the local samurai.

The mother of Hatano Hideji, who subdued the Miyoshi family, died of illness with the acquiescence of the retainers. Hatano Hideji succeeded as the governor of the house, drove away the Miyoshi trio, and maintained a hostile relationship with the Miyoshi family ever since.

As long as Hideji Hatano is pulled into the anti-miyoshi camp of the Shiba family, Araki Murashige will be very uncomfortable.

The Tamba Highlands are just north of the Osaka Plain in the Settsu Kingdom, condescending and can enter the Settsu Kingdom at any time.

When Shiba Yiyin led troops westward to Hanoi, as long as the northern Tanba and southern Hequan countries responded together, the Settsu country stuck in the middle was a sandwich biscuit, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know if Matsunaga Hideo could persuade Araki Murashige, an ambitious and powerful samurai from Settsu, but the strategic situation of encirclement on all sides would help Araki Murashige calm down.

As long as Araki Murashige is not stupid, he will definitely go down the slope, join the anti-three good camp, and be a good guardian of Settsu loyal to the shogunate.

Akechi Mitsuhide is busy with diplomatic cooperation in Kyoto, and Niko Katsuhisa and Maeda Masayoshi in the past few days have not been idle.

Yamato Kingdom, Koriyama Castle.

Nizi Katsuhisa sat opposite Maeda Yili, and Maeda Yili said in awe.

"The autumn harvest is over long ago. Although the mobilization is a bit late now, it is naturally the duty of the Ji warriors to take the annuity dividends from the Sibo Zhong Fund to share the worries of the emperor.

There is no problem with the morale of the army, you don't have to worry, I have already mobilized [-] reserve troops, and they can enter Hanoi to fight at any time, just waiting for your Majesty's order.

In the future, if the war requires, there are still ten reserve teams that can be mobilized at any time, and under the limit of mobilization, ten more reserve teams can be pulled out.

Regarding the related logistical supplies, I would like to ask Ni Ziji to take care of her. "

Nizi Shengjiu nodded and bowed slightly.

After the first battle against the Liujia family, Maeda Yili never had the opportunity to make contributions. In the past two years, she has devoted herself to military training.

But in terms of scale, the recent few Spurs are really not enough.

In troubled times and turmoil, the samurai daimyos of all families are devouring new territories with almost crazy greed.

In the early days, the warrior family with the Ten Thousand Stone Territory was regarded as a daimyo, and could be called His Highness, but the daimyo in the Ten Thousand Stone Territory was already one of the few big names in recent times.

And now?The Liujiao Miyoshi family that has risen successively has seven or eight million koku, the Asai Asakura family has four or five million koku, and the most terrifying Oda family has reached two million koku.

In the face of these daimyos with huge territories, the [-] stones that Siba has claimed in the past few days are indeed not enough.

Fortunately, Shiba Yoshiin's record and prestige made up for the gap in the number of territories, so that the recent Siba territories have always been highly regarded by the recent samurai.

But a mule is a horse, so it has to be pulled out for a ride.The comeback of the Miyoshi family this time is also a reassessment of the strength of the Shiba family by the samurai family in recent years.

If this battle is ugly, the awe that the samurai have for the Shiba family these days will gradually dissipate, like looking at a declining polar bear.

Therefore, Maeda Masayoshi gritted his teeth and mobilized his mobilization force thoroughly, and must support the situation for the Shiba family.

For a territory of [-] shi, usually [-] shi mobilizes a reserve team of [-] people.

She pulled out twenty reserve teams with [-] people at once, and prepared ten reserve mobilization teams, ten extreme mobilization teams, and another twenty reserve teams, which had reached the limit that can be tolerated by several Sibolings.

That is to say, Shiba Yoshigin used the Shibazhong Fund this year to try his best to buy people's hearts by throwing money. Shiba Jiaji samurai cherishes the good life now, and has a strong will to protect the family and guard the leader.

If it were an ordinary samurai territory, the double mobilization of Maeda's interests would have already caused turmoil in the territory, and the Ji warriors at the grassroots level were dissatisfied.

But even if the Shiba family is united and squeezed the military power to death, the mobilization force of Siba's limit in the past few days is only [-] soldiers, which is still not enough.

In the Oda Asai Asakura War that just started in the Omi country, the two sides mobilized [-] to [-] soldiers, which is far more powerful than the Siba family.

From a military point of view, the current military strength of the Shiba family is holding back Shiba Yoshigin's prestige.

Knowing that Maeda Yili had tried his best, Nizi Katsuhisa nodded.

"Maeda Hime has worked hard, the Lord has ordered Akechi Ji to unite with all parties in Kyoto to deal with Miyoshi's family.

Don't worry too much about military strength. "

Maeda benefit sighed.

"How can I not be worried? When the coalition forces send troops, it is most taboo to be confused, but the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families are still confused.

His Highness Hosokawa Motosune wrote to me, repeatedly emphasizing that the two countries of Izumi and Hanoi are being attacked by the Miyoshi family, and hoped that I would take military action as soon as possible.

When will it be the Hosokawa Mibuchi family's turn to dictate to my Shiba family?Without the order of Jindadian, can I, Maeda Yoshiki, send troops at will? "
