different warring states of japan

Chapter 1487

As soon as the chaos in Kanto started, he was crushed to death by three letters from Yoshihiko Shiba.

Yoshihiko Shiba has been operating in Kanto for five years, and his efforts to win over the samurai from the eight states of Kanto into the Kanto Servant through the connection of interests finally exerted a huge effect at this time.

The two giants in the Kanto region, Uesugi Hojo, were unwilling to offend Shiba Yoshiyin, and the Kanto servants did not have the guts to make a fuss, so Takeda's conquest could only die down.

Shiba Yoshiyin lifted the weight lightly this time, and lightly suppressed the chaos. The samurai all over the world were dumbfounded, and they were even more in awe of Shiba Yoshiyin.

Yoshishi Ashikaga, the Kwantung General of the Kamakura Ashikaga family, has become a transparent person, so embarrassed that he almost lost his value as a puppet.

The majesty of Shiba Yoshiyin in the Kanto area quickly returned to calm.

But recently there are still people who don't believe in evil, but they like to welcome men the most.The turbulent waves caused by Takeda Rena's throwing stone are not so easy to calm down.

Knowing from Akechi Mitsuhide that Shiba Yoshigin was determined to turn against himself for a bastard, Oda Nobunaga was angry, and even aroused his desire to conquer.

After Ashikaga Yoshiaki slumped, Oda Nobunaga, who had already stepped on the Kyoto shogunate and was preparing for Oda Kogi, looked eager to face Shiba Yoshigin's Shangluo.

The battle between Shiba and Oda is inevitable, and Oda Nobunaga is full of joy and looks forward to using a world-renowned joint victory to conquer Shiba Yoshigin, the most beautiful woman in the world, and even the world in one fell swoop.

Akechi Mitsuhide who brought Takahashi Toratsu's body to the door not only did not die, but was also relieved by Oda Nobunaga.

Obviously, Oda Nobunaga did not give up Genpei's ambition to marry Shiba Yoshigin.

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't go back to Kyoto immediately after he came out of Azuchi Castle alive, waiting for Fujibayashi Muku's intelligence summary.

Instead, she walked along the east bank of the Nanjin River, looking for the slow-moving bullock carts of Mr. Nong and Mr. Shi, and getting in touch with her cheap cousin. She didn't know what bad water was in her heart.

Shiba Yoshigin is originally from Owari, and the Shiba family and the Oda family have formed inextricable connections and entanglements of interests over the years.

The two lords were determined to turn the tables, and a series of chain reactions immediately occurred.

Unlike Mitsuhide Akechi, a diplomatic agent who jumped left and right, Shiba Oda broke up, and many people lost real money, even the life of the territory.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ripples gradually spread from the core of Shiba Yoshigin and Oda Nobunaga to the outside, with far-reaching influence.

---

On the county of Mino country, on the county of Hachiman Castle.

This place was originally the territory of the Endo family. After Oda Nobunaga conquered the Mino country, she threw Maeda Toshiie, a disgusting ghost who followed Shiba Yoshiyin wholeheartedly, here.

Owari country and Mino country share the Nobi Plain, which is one of the most fertile lands in the world. Coupled with the marine fishery in Ise Bay, Oda Nobunaga's family is solid and can be called the wealthiest in the world.

However, these land wealth have nothing to do with Shangjun, the county of Meinong.

Gujo County is located in the mountainous area in the northern part of the Nobi Plain. The plains in the south cannot be counted on, the Hida Highlands are in the northeast, and the Ryohaku Mountains are in the northwest.

Gushang County, which is sandwiched between two mountain ranges, is a barren land that even the samurai of Mino country despise. The life of the mountain people is very poor.

It was Oda Nobunaga's punishment for Maeda Toshiie to be thrown into this corner.

Maeda Toshiie, who refused to give up the Owari Shiba collar, secretly notified Shiba Yoshikin in Kanto to rush back to nearby when Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga conspired in Shangluo.

This time, Yoshihiro Shiba took over the dominance of Oda Kamiro in Ashizawa, but Maeda Toshiie's hole card in Cao Yingxinzaihan was also completely exposed in front of Oda Nobunaga.

If it weren't for the consideration of the relationship with Shiba Yoshiyin, Oda Nobunaga would have severely punished Maeda Toshiie.But even if Oda Nobunaga is inconvenient to do it, a soft knife is enough to make Owari Shiba suffer.

Owari Shiba Ling claims to have [-] stones in Gujo County, but the most valuable piece is the piece of Gujo Hachiman.

Gujo Hachiman is located in the south of the Hida Highlands, relying on the Nagara River and its tributaries that run through the mountains, and is a valley where some fields can be planted.

And the core of this territory is Hachiman Castle in the county, and Hachiman Town under the city.

At this time, in the council hall of Hachiman Castle in the county, the Maeda retainer group was gloomy.

The Shiba and Oda families are going to war, and the most difficult samurai group is the Owari Shiba Territory trapped in the Oda territory.

Although Gushang County is barren, the mountainous area is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Breaking through to the south is the Nobi Plain, the core of the Oda family, and its strategic position is very important.

Oda Nobunaga wants to compete with Shiba Yoshihiro, how can he allow his heart to be held against the knife of Maeda Toshiie.

On the case in front of Toshiie Maeda, there were two letters.

One was Yoshihiko Shiba's permission to subdue the Oda family if Owari Shiba couldn't handle himself, and he would never blame her.

One is that Oda Nobunaga asked her to go to Azuchi Castle to listen to the order, Owari Shiba led the release of various checkpoints, and the Oda Army took over the defense.

These two letters brought Owari Shiba to the forefront, becoming the first subordinate force forced to stand in line in the confrontation between the Shiba Oda two.

So Maeda Toshiie convened this review, and he had to make a decision today on what to do with General Owari Shiba.

She remained calm on the main seat, watching the concubines sitting here talking and expressing their opinions.

Mr. Murai, who was sitting under the seat, had been sitting for a long time, and his body was a little stiff.She looked at Maeda Toshiie with closed eyes on the eye seat, as if she was listening to Zhu Ji's debate, but the result was obvious.

Owari Shiba leader because Shiba Yoshiyin let go of his hands very early, and is caught in the political ambiguity of the Shiba Oda two families. It can also be said to be an independent kingdom that Maeda Toshie took down with one hand and one foot.

Murai Nagayori is the first retainer of Maeda Toshiie, and she knows Maeda Toshiie's feelings for Shiba Yoshiyin very well.

Back then in Kiyosu City, Maeda Toshiie killed Shiba Yoshigin in anger, and beheaded Oda Nobunaga's favored surname Aichi Juami. Murai Nagayori once asked Shiba Yoshigin to come to him.

At that time, Shiba Yoshigin was just a small character among the foreign people on the outskirts of the Oda family.

It was also in order to clear Maeda Toshiie's crimes that Shiba Yoshiyin made a deal with Oda Nobunaga, and Shangluo asked for Owari's guardianship for Oda Nobunaga.

Murai Changyai knows that Shiba Yoshigin will always be the white moonlight in Maeda Toshiie's heart, a lifetime longing that he will never forget and never give up.

If Maeda Toshiie was willing to bow his head, he would have surrendered to Oda Nobunaga long ago and made contributions, so why would he suffer in the ravines of Gushang County?

What determines the future of Owari Shiba's deliberations?nonsense!The future of Owari Shiba was clearly arranged in Maeda Toshiie's heart.

Murai Chang Lai glanced at the few retainers who spoke for the Oda family, with a little pity in his eyes.

Today's review is just to unify the thinking, I hope these fools can wake up soon, otherwise the whole family's life will be lost.

The powerful retainers expressed their opinions, and when almost all the people who should speak had expressed their opinions, Maeda Toshiie opened his eyes and looked at Murai Nagayori and asked.

"Hime Murai, you're a little quiet today. What do you think of these two letters?"

Murai Changlai smiled, knowing that it was her turn to stand in line, she said.

"Jinda-den, His Highness Oda's request is a little too much."

Maeda Toshiie asked.

"Oh? How can you see it?"

Murai Chang Lai said solemnly.

"The Owari Shiba Territory originated from the ancestral land of Owari State Shiba, and the [-] koku of Xicun was inherited from the Owari Guardian Shiba clan. His Highness Oda has no right to interfere.

Although the [-] stones in Gujo County were sealed by His Royal Highness Oda, they were territories obtained by Owari Shiba who participated in the war as an allied army and exchanged military merits.

What reason does His Highness Oda have to ask the Shiba family's territory to open the pass and let the Oda family take over the defense?
Even if Shiba and Oda go to war, it should be the Oda army who comes to attack. My first Shiba leader has a theory of whether the war or surrender.

But now, before the two families declare war, His Highness Oda wants to order you to go to Azuchi Castle to obey orders, and to take over the Owari Shiba collar pass, which is too deceptive.

Jindaden Renyi, knowing that the Owari Shiba leader is weak, allowed us to surrender.

But I am waiting to eat the hard-core crops of the Shiba family. If I bow my head and admit defeat before the war begins, what face will I have to stand in the world in the future.

After I surrender, can His Highness Oda replenish us with the establishment of the Shiba family, the benefits of the Shibachu Foundation, and the privilege of the Hokuriku Road trade route? "

Murai Changyori's position is firm, and the reasoning is good.

The Shiba and Oda families haven't fought yet, and Oda Nobunaga ordered Owari Shiba Ling like a grandson, and he didn't have the slightest respect for the local samurai group.

If Owari Shiba Ling is so cowardly, he will definitely be looked down upon by outsiders. Even if he can pass today's test, can he still have a good life in the future?

Moreover, Maeda Toshiie has worked so hard to tie the Owari Shiba collar to the Shiba family's chariot in the past few years, and it has already had an effect at this time.

The annuity of the Shibazhong Fund has covered Owari Shiba's collar.This welfare, which is called a hard-core crop by the world, makes the martial arts all over the world envious.

Owari Shiba has a small collar, only more than [-] shi, but Maeda Toshiie has a lot of Shiba weaves under his command, all of which are the grace that Maeda Toshiie asked for from Shiba Yoshiyin.

If Owari Shiba leader surrenders, will these Sipo establishments still count?In the future, when the Shiba and Oda families cease fighting, can the Maeda retainers ask the Shiba family to continue to recognize their establishment with a straight face?

Yoshihiko Shiba is generous, but Gamo Ujigo of the Tongxin Secretariat can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and he can't let go.Could it be that the Sibo establishment that everyone had so hard to obtain was just given up in vain?
That is a food stamp of six stones a year, a hard-core crop that guarantees harvest in drought and flood, who is willing to give up until the last moment!
In addition, Shiba Yoshigin allowed Owari Shiba to take the share of the Hokuriku Road trade route obtained from the Echizen Kingdom through the Ryohaku Mountains.

And, Maeda Toshiya produced saltpeter by local method, transported saltpeter to China for trading, and made a large amount of profit through the Hokuriku Road trade route.

The samurai led by Owari Shiba can enjoy a happy life in the poor valley of Gujo County, which is inseparable from the Hokuriku Road trade route hosted by the Shiba family.

If Owari Shibaling surrenders, can these benefits be preserved?

Shiba Yoshigin may not care, but Takada Yoshino and Okuma Asohide at both ends of the Hokuriku Road business road are black-hearted obediences who eat people and don't spit out their bones.

Once Owari Shibaling surrendered to the Oda family, it would be tantamount to losing the title of Shibaling. This group of mountain samurai is considered a p among the major forces on the Hokuriku Road trade route. What qualifications do they have for a share of the pie?

What Murai Changyai said was ingenious.

Oda Nobunaga's attitude in this letter is defiant. This is holding a knife and threatening everyone to surrender. There is no plan to appease everyone and win everyone over by sharing benefits.

That being the case, why did Owari Shiba collar surrender?Just to suffer poverty and starvation with the Oda family?
she said again.

"Zindaden Renyi allowed Owari Shiba to surrender to the Oda family. But why should we surrender? What can His Highness Oda give us?
Taking refuge in the Oda family, our best result is to live in poverty.But support Jinda Temple, we will be heroes after the Shiba family wins!

My lord, I don't want my descendants to work hard in the mountains. I hope my descendants can inherit my Shiba weaving, and I hope they can continue to live a wealthy life of the Shiba family!

I, the head of Murai, is a Shibo dog, not an Oda person! "

Maeda Toshiie was very, very satisfied with Murai Changyori's remarks.

Murai Changlai repeatedly emphasized Shibo Yiyin's benevolence and righteousness. Is this because the samurai advocate righteousness?Nonsense, the samurai's righteousness is all on the lips, whoever is serious and whoever is stupid b.

What she meant was that Shiba Yoshigin was generous and never defaulted on his debts!

The poor bastards in these mountains in Gushang County, they can only live poorly with the Oda family for the rest of their lives, and if they want to eat and drink enough to make a fortune, they have to hang out with Shiba Yoshiyin!
This is the result of Shiba Yoshigin's insistence on carrying out the Shiba New Life Movement in the three places of Shiba. It's really cool to be the dog of Shiba's family!

Especially the indigenous mountain samurai in Gujo County, Maeda Toshiie conquered the hearts of the local samurai within a few years of his arrival, did he rely on Giri?It's copper coins!It's food!is a better life!

The indigenous mountain people here are afraid of poverty, just like the Koshin mountain samurai under the command of Sanada Nobushige, they are not afraid of death at all, they are afraid that their life will not be sold for a good price.

Murai Changlai's words are too appetizing to them.

Oda Nobunaga frightened them with a butcher knife, as long as they were obedient, they would wait for their lives.What the hell!Is this rotten life what the old lady lacks?

Think about another option, if the Owari Shiba leader stands loyally on the side of the Shiba family, even if he fights all the warriors in the end and the territory is smashed to pieces, he is still a loyal minister of the Shiba family!

With Sibo Yiyin's benevolence and righteousness, the heirs of the local samurai family will definitely have a better future. As for the rotten land in the mountain, it will be destroyed if it is smashed. It is so poor, where can it go bad?

Everyone is not stupid, and they can settle this account.Who is willing to take refuge in Oda Nobunaga?I must be Shibo Yoshiin's loyal dog!

After Murai Changyai finished speaking, he bowed and sat back in his seat.The other vassals were impatient, and they all stood up to re-state their stance, each with louder voices.

They had just escaped from the fear of Oda Nobunaga holding the butcher's knife high, and now they were afraid that Maeda Toshiie would make a wrong choice and really surrender to the Oda family.

Regardless of whether it was supporting Shiba or Oda's Hime Takeshi before, they have all become diehard loyalists of the Siba family at this moment, vowing to shed the last drop of blood for the Siba family.

Maeda Toshiie glanced at Murai Nagayori who was sitting respectfully, smiled slightly, and finally expressed his opinion.

"I understand what everyone means.

The Owari Shiba Territory is the territory of the Shiba family. His Highness Oda used force to coerce him and made unacceptable demands. We will never let him manipulate us!

We are born as Shiba people and die as Shiba ghosts. If the Oda family wants to invade the Shiba family's territory, we will fight to the last man!
Also, I will write a letter to Jindaden to explain my heart of loyalty to the death, and the husband and children in your family will also be moved from the Hokuriku Road trade route to a safe area, so as to avoid any worries.

I will implore your majesty to protect you and other heirs, and not to make loyal ministers shed blood and tears. "

Maeda Toshiie's guarantee erased Zhu Ji's last bit of hesitation.Looking around, there were relieved smiles on the faces of all the concubines present, and excitement flashed in their eyes.

But at this time, Maeda Toshiie's heart was not as calm as she appeared on the outside.

Rena Takeda. .It turns out that Junshang already has a child.Since Takeda Shingen can do it, why can't I?

Maeda Toshiie is full of enthusiasm. She must make great contributions in this war, and then use this contribution to exchange for a seed of her own.

What should be the name of her and Junshang's child? Just thinking about it makes her feel so excited, her heart is about to jump out.
