different warring states of japan

Chapter 1450

Yoshigin couldn't understand more and more, Hosokawa Fujitaka not only wanted to intercede with Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, but also distributed the territory belonging to Hosokawa Mibuchi's family to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. What's the reason for this?
Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"Hosokawa and Mibuchi's two families are fighting each other, even if Hosokawa and Fujitaka can gain the upper hand, she is still a stalker, and it is difficult to get rid of the hidden danger of Mibuchi and Tohide.

After all, Mibuchi Fujihide is backed by His Royal Highness Oda, and has the position of guardian of Kita Hanoi, which is really very troublesome.In order to make Sanyuan's vassals completely disappointed with Sanyuan Tengying, some strong medicine must be administered. "

Yiyin understood a little bit.

"So, if she wants to keep Miyoshi in Beihanoi, she would rather harm the interests of Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family than blame Miyoshi on Mibuchi's head?"

Yoshihiro talked about Mibuchi Fujihide, but in fact he knew in his heart that Hosokawa Fujitaka even cheated Mibuchi Haruhito, his own mother.

Mibuchi Fujihide is the guardian of Kita Hanoi, and Mibuchi Haruhito is the actual commander of this battle between the two families. They cannot evict Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and defend the interests of the two families. They cannot escape their responsibility.

The mother and daughter of Sanyuan were defeated in the battle before, and they were afraid of the battle in the middle, and finally added the fatal blow of losing their ground.

Hosokawa's affairs have been high all year round, and the prestige of Mibuchi's mother and daughter has been lost. The head of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family must be the turn of Hosokawa Fujitaka, the heir who has improved relations with the Shiba family.

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and nodded, and began to endorse Hosokawa Fujitaka's strategy with a high-sounding sound, giving Hosokawa Fujitaka a legitimate reason to cheat his mother and sister.

She said.

"The foundation of the Miyoshi family is in Shikoku Island, in the Sanuki country of the Awa country. We can't reach there for the time being. If Miyoshi Yoshiki continues to plead guilty, will the king kill or let go?

If you want to kill Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

Miyoshi Changqing is, after all, a generation of owls, and many members of Miyoshi's family still remember her kindness to this day.This time, Miyoshi Yoshitsuki came a few days ago, and it is indeed in response to General Ashikaga's imperial letter.

There is no need for your majesty to be the villain for General Ashikaga, kill the heir designated by Miyoshi Changqing, and form a deadly feud with the samurai families of Awa Sanuki and the two countries.

But it would not be appropriate to let Miyoshi Yoshitsugu go.

Miyoshi Yasunaga and Anzhai Nobuyasu were rebelled by Takada Yono, and they acted righteously for the Shiba family.

If Yoshimi Miyoshi retaliates against the two of them after returning, will the Shiba family come out to uphold justice and protect the two?

The influence of the Shiba family has not yet extended to the four countries, so it will be troublesome to deal with it.

Therefore, Hosokawa Fujitaka wrote a letter to suggest that you let Miyoshi Yoshitsuya stay in Ruojiang City, give her tens of thousands of stone territory, let her surrender to you, and become a member of the local powerful faction of the shogunate.

There are many advantages to doing so.

Miyoshi Yasunaga, Shinohara Nagabura, and Nobuyasu Anzai's relationship with each other has been completely broken because of the discord in this war.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is also a hero. If you can convince her, we can use her status as the governor of the Miyoshi family to remotely control the Miyoshi forces in the four countries and divide and rule the three.

Even if the Miyoshi family cannot be used to expand the Shiba family's sphere of influence over Shikoku Island, it can be ensured that the Miyoshi family will no longer invade Nishikoku.

I believe that the Nishikinji samurai will also be willing to give Miyoshi Yoshitsugu a way out, so that Nishikinji will no longer face the follow-up threat from the Miyoshi family. "

Yiyin thought for a while and said.

"Hosokawa Fujitaka's idea is good, but there is a problem.

The shogunate characterized Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's landing behavior as an invasion that tore up the agreement, so I was invited to join forces with various parties to form an anti-Miyoshi alliance.

How would I explain it to the shogunate if I made a concession to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu on my own?If there is no reasonable explanation, it will affect the perception of me by the shogunate. "

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very simple.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is still holding the general's imperial letter in his hand. She has been crying out for grievances before and after the war. The landing this time was entrusted by the general, but no one paid attention to her.

Now she is desperate, you just need to bring her this imperial book and confirm that she is indeed innocent, and you can naturally stop the mouth of the shogunate.

As for the authenticity of this imperial book, one only needs to look at the inscriptions and seals on it to know, this thing cannot deceive people.

You just upheld justice and made a fair layoff, and made Miyoshi Yoshitsugu innocent. Who dares to say that you are at fault? "

Yi Yin stared at Mitsuhide Akechi with wide eyes, he had never seen such a brazen person.

Akechi Mitsuhide was in Kyoto before, and he joined forces with various shogunate families to put pressure on Ashikaga Yoshiaki, forcing Ashikaga Yoshiaki to deny the existence of the imperial book, and Miyoshi Yoshiaki took the bottom of the pot.

And now, Akechi Mitsuhide wants Yoshigin to send the Gouai Shu in the hands of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to the shogunate. Isn't that the face of Ashikaga Yoshiaki?And it was drawn twice.

Denied once, had to admit once, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's reputation has been stigmatized since then, and no one will help her in the future.

Yiyin was stunned for a while, then said.

"Do you want to be so extreme? A general is a general after all."

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't need to pretend to be Ashikaga Yoshiaki's loyal servant and Oda Nobunaga's innovative follower in front of Yoshigin, she said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, the Shiba family is keeping a low profile in the Ashikaga Oda dispute, sitting back and watching the changes, hoping that they can weaken each other.

My principle of balancing the two is to help His Highness Oda politically and General Ashikaga militaryly. "

Yiyin smiled wryly and shook his head.

Akechi Mitsuhide was really outspoken in front of him, and he didn't hide it at all. This guy is too bad.

The longer the two Ashikaga and Oda families fight, the harder it will be for the Shiba family.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was the shogun, and he had the upper hand in politics, so he was able to call on various daimyos to form a Nobunaga encirclement network in the form of an imperial letter, which made Oda Nobunaga disgraced.

Therefore, Akechi Mitsuhide wants to attack and weaken her prestige, bruise her reputation politically, and prevent Oda Nobunaga from feeling too uncomfortable.

And Oda Nobunaga is a [-] million stone daimyo, with the best military strength in the world, and he is always invincible in all wars.

Therefore, Akechi Mitsuhide has been secretly increasing her conflicts with the shogunate, creating friction between her and other samurai daimyos, making it difficult for her to concentrate on controlling the shogunate politics.

Yoshigin glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide, saying that both sides were weakened, but in fact Ashikaga Yoshiaki suffered the most.

Sending the imperial book in the hands of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to Kyoto can indeed block the shogunate samurai's verbal criticism of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, but the last bit of prestige of the Ashikaga family will be over.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a disgraced general, what capital does he have to fight Oda Nobunaga?
Even if the samurai daimyo was forced to use the name of General Ashikaga to continue to form Nobunaga's siege network to embarrass Oda Nobunaga, but that would be nothing like Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

In the past, it was the emperor's order to not be a minister, and later it was the emperor's order to order the princes. The respect of the samurai daimyo for General Ashikaga seems to be completely dissipated.

Yoshigin couldn't help sighing, the prestige of General Ashikaga has fallen, and the Ashikaga shogunate has no righteousness to call on the world's samurai, how long can it last in this troubled world?

This is not over yet, Akechi Mitsuhide bowed again to ask for the merits of Hosokawa Fujitaka.

"Your Majesty, Hosokawa Fujitaka has made a lot of contributions in this battle, and he is willing to sacrifice the interests of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family to give Miyoshi the right to inherit the surrounding area of ​​Wakae Castle.

The Shiba family should give generous rewards to their true allies, and not let outsiders gossip. "

Yiyin was amused.

Hosokawa Fujitaka is indeed a ruthless person. In order to completely overthrow her political opponents in the infighting between the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her own territory in Beihanoi.

If Miyoshi Yoshitsugu can stay in Ruojiang City safely, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family will lose tens of thousands of stones of land, and someone must be responsible for it!

As long as Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is still staying in Kitakanoi, Mibuchi Fujihide, the guardian of Kitakanoi, will be to blame, and will never be forgiven by Hosokawa and Mibuchi's retainers.

The two retainer groups will definitely fall to the side of Hosokawa Fujitaka, even if the powerful Oda Nobunaga stands behind Mibuchi Fujihide, there is no way to recover.

After all, there is no one behind Hosokawa Fujitaka, Shiba Yoshigin is the Dinghaishenzhen of the local powerful faction of the shogunate.With him around, the local factions still have the confidence to say no to Oda Nobunaga.

In fact, leaving the fierce tiger Miyoshi Yoshitsugu in Hanoi would be a torment for the Hatakeyama and Hosokawa Mibuchi families, but Yoshigin liked the idea very much.

This time, the performance of Hatakeyama Takamasa and Mibuchi Haruhito made him too disappointed, and Mibuchi Fujihide was even a member of Oda Nobunaga. He found that his control over the local powerful faction of the shogunate was still too weak.

Yiyin is willing to use the catfish of Miyoshi Yoshiki to confuse these three families, to make them sober up, to find out who is protecting their interests, and who is the leader of the local powerful faction.

Since she has accepted Hosokawa Fujitaka's proposal, she is of course meritorious, and Yoshihiro is willing to give something in return.This is also for outsiders to see, and those who are really willing to follow Sibo's family have meat to eat.

Yi Yin said.

"Okay, you have reminded me several times that Hosokawa Fujitaka deserves a reward for his merits.

I admit that she has meritorious service, so what do you hope to get her in return? "

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"Sakai Port."

Yiyin repeated.

"Sakai Port?"

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded.

"good.

Your Majesty, Miyoshi Yoshitsui has an imperial book to save his life, but the reason for her to occupy Ruojiang City is still not sufficient.

General Ashikaga let her go on land to deal with His Royal Highness Oda, but she was greedy for the land of Xijinji and invaded the two countries of Izumi and Hanoi without authorization.

If you insist on keeping her in Beihanoi, you must give Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family enough compensation.

Of course, this compensation must be followed by Miyoshi Yoshito, benefiting Hosokawa Fujitaka, rather than letting other people at both ends of the snake mouse profit.

The battle between the Miyoshi family and the Oda family can be said to have fulfilled the requirements of the Ouchishu, so it is reasonable for the Miyoshi family to expel the Oda family and occupy Sakai Port.

Miyoshi Yasunaga and Ataka Nobuyasu rebelled against Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. They must go back to Shikoku to protect their foundation, and the status of the Sakai Port garrison must be reconsidered.

The Sakai Port Customs Office has rich interests, and it is indeed inappropriate to continue to hold it in the hands of the Miyoshi family.Sakai Port is the starting point of the Hokuriku Road trade route, and the Sakai Port Customs Office is actually best held in your hands.

But if it is held in your hands, the distance between Shibaling and Sakai Port is not close. Once there is a change there, Sibaling is beyond reach.

And Izumi Country is just south of Sakai Port. If the reason for Miyoshi Yoshito's occupation of Wakae City is that Sakai Port traded with Izumi Hosokawa's territory, then this matter is very reasonable.

Give Wakae Castle and the surrounding five cities to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and then let Miyoshi Yoshitsugu order Miyoshi Yasunaga to leave Sakai Port, and let Hosokawa Fujitaka take over the defense.

No one can tell what's wrong with this territory exchange agreement.The interests of Sakai Port are far greater than those of Hanoi's five cities, which can also be regarded as our return to Fujitaka Hosokawa.

In this way, there are sufficient reasons for Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to occupy the territory of Ruojiang City.Even if the retainers of Hosokawa and Mibuchi were dissatisfied, they could hold their noses and bear it in view of the interests of Sakai Port. "

Yi Yin sighed.

"The most important thing is that by giving Sakai Port to Fujitaka Hosokawa, she will have enough benefits to buy people's hearts and strengthen her position in the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, right?

Use Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to suppress Miyoshi Yasunaga, Ataka Nobuyasu, and Shinohara Nagabo.Use Hosokawa Fujitaka to suppress Hosokawa Motocho, Mibuchi Haruhito, and Mibuchi Fujihide.

Guangxiu, you understand people’s hearts so well, it’s really frightening. "

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed deeply.

"I am only loyal to you, and everything I do is for the future of the Shiba family!"

Yiyin looked at her and sighed.

"Let's do it this way. Since you and Hosokawa Fujitaka came up with this idea, it's up to you to complete the negotiations. You represent me and go to Beihanoi to settle this matter.

Remember, don't try to tease Maeda Yiyi, she died a lot of comrades and sisters this time, and she is in a bad mood.If you piss her off and get beaten up, I won't make the decision for you.

Also, Takada Yono is doing very well in Sakai Port, and Hosokawa Fujitaka is in charge of the Sakai Port Customs Office. You can learn from Miyoshi Oda and follow the rules. Don't teach her to do Takada Yono behind her back.

Do you understand? "

Yoshiyin's last tone became severe, and Mitsuhide Akechi covered his mouth and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty really regards me as a scourge, as if I can't help but hurt people wherever I go."

Yi Yin said coldly.

"Is not it?"

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled helplessly, kowtowed to the ground and said.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. If the king says that I am a disaster, then I am a disaster."

Yiyin saw her weak and bullied appearance, with her nimble little tongue still gliding past the corner of her lips, and suddenly a burst of anger pierced her belly.

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed and said.

"If your majesty is fine, I will go back to prepare and go to Beihanoi as soon as possible."

Yi Yin stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

Mingzhi Guangxiu frowned, looked at Yiyin with a puzzled face, and waited for the king to show.

Yoshigin lifted the front of his clothes and said to Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Every time I finish talking with you, I will get angry."

Mitsuhide Akechi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that he could have such benefits when he spoke in a strange way?According to this, in the future, you will have to work hard, otherwise, there will be no chance of kissing Fangze.

Yiyin hooked Zhizhi Mitsuhide, Zhizhi Mitsuhide was excited, but on the face he pretended to be shy, and slowly moved closer.

Her behavior really made Yiyin's scalp tingle, this black-bellied fox knows himself too well.

Yiyin grabbed her hair and whispered in her ear.

"I'm so angry right now!"

Then, he pushed her head down hard.
