different warring states of japan

Chapter 1753 Shibata and Hashiba argue

The saint finally recognized the self-purification movement of the people in blue, and Mikami Momo and Kito Yua were each excited.

Mikami Momo has made up her mind to carry out the self-Qing movement. With the tacit approval of the saint and the support of Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo families, what else does she have to worry about?
While launching a fierce attack on all the decadent ideas, culture, customs, and habits of Guanbazhou, it is also the rapid expansion of the power of the blue-clothed people at the grassroots level.

With the acquiescence of the upper class, the middle class dare not intervene, and the chaos at the lower class has no one to suppress it, which can easily turn into a carnival that destroys the traditional order.

Mikami Momo longs to be the protagonist on the stage of this big carnival and climb to new heights that she, who was born as a village waiter, could never reach.

Compared with this, Yuya Kito's ideas are more pure.

Yua Kito hates the current Guan Bazhou and longs to bring a better tomorrow to Guan Bazhou. He has the courage and sincerity to sacrifice himself to change the world.

But she didn't know that her ideals had been taken advantage of by senior bosses and even her teammates.

The idealist burns himself, and the realistic person reaps the benefits. Not only will this carnival not proceed in the way Yua Kito hopes, but it will not end with the results she expects.

Despicability is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble. In the abnormal Wu family society, it is very normal for bad coins to eliminate good coins.

Regardless of Yoshihiro Shiba's many worries in the process of integrating Kanto, Katsuie Shibata of Hokurikudo was also very troubled at this time.

At this moment, Shibata Katsuie didn't know that Uesugi Kenshin had quickly sent out troops to beat her to the ground, and what she was worrying about came from within.

The Echizen Oda Army sent troops during the New Year and used anti-seasonal tactics to raid Kaga Ichikui. The Kaga Ichikui troops were caught off guard and most of them collapsed at the first touch.

Kaga General General Nourishu Nanari could only retreat to Kanazawa Obo, struggling to support the northern part from collapse.

Kaga Country is close to the sea, and the four counties in the country are mainly divided by three rivers flowing into the sea. From west to east, they are the Daishoji River, Tetori River, and Asano River.

Daishoji Castle was built near the Daishoji River in Echizen Province in the [-]th century. Because the eight generations of Honganji Buddhist priests preached here, it was regarded as a holy place by the local Ichikoshu sect.

At that time, Xiaozong used this as a base to infiltrate the Echizen Kingdom, and launched the Echizen Ichikui, which greatly disturbed the Asakura branches in the Fukui Plain.

In order to secure the future of his adopted daughter Asakura Kageki, Asakura Sotechi sold Shiba Yoshigan a huge favor, and led various Asakura family members north to attack Daishoji City and capture the Daishoji River area.

Kaga Xiaosong, a branch of the Eighth Generation Master, was originally at odds with the large sect forces dispatched by Ishiyama Honganji Motoyama in Kaga country.

The internal fighting between the large and small sects made Nanari Noraishu choose to stand aside in the face of Asakura Sodi's offensive.

With the loss of the Daishengji River, the Xiaozong's power was severely damaged, and indeed it gradually lost the strength to fight against the big sect.

The Tetori River and Asano River in the northeast of the Daishoji River are not far from each other. Matsutomo Castle between the two rivers is an important town in the central part of Kaga Country.

Kanazawa Gobo, north of the Asano River, is backed by the Ryobai Mountains, faces the Kanazawa Plain, and is close to Noto Province. It is the base of a large number of forces.

The local Ichikōshu temple in Kaga country, headed by the descendants of the eighth-generation Buddhist master, was not respectful enough to the tenth-generation Buddhist master of Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple, who was the previous generation's master.

Nanari Yorishu was a direct descendant of the Master of the Ceremony. He was sent to Kaga Country to supervise the construction of Kanazawa Gobo, which became the core stronghold of the Dai Sect in Kaga Country.

This time, Shibata Katsuie attacked Kaga, and the troops had already crossed the Tetori River and captured the Kaga half country. The soldiers of Matsuno Castle simply surrendered.

Kaga has always had a dual leadership, headed by the official of the imperial palace and the local ichikai.

The fangguan system is naturally the nuns of the Xiangzong temple, who are responsible for the religious rule of the Buddhist kingdom on earth.The Yikuizhong is composed of village servants and wandering warriors, relying on Yixiang Zong to become the main military force.

Nanari Yorishu, the chief general of the major sect sent by Ishiyama Honganji Temple, spared no effort to suppress the smaller sects in recent years. Back then, he framed and killed Hoki Yorinobu.

Haomu Yorinobu served as the lord of Songren City and was the leader of the Xiaozong Yikui people. Her unjust death made the local Yikui people hate Qili Laizhou deeply.

The members of Matsure Castle would not fight to the end for Shibata Raishu, and simply surrendered to Shibata Katsuie.

The rapid fall of Matsuno Castle immediately put the Kanazawa Plain to the north in a dilemma. The flat plain was undefendable and was completely under the front of the Oda army led by Shibata Katsuie.

Just when Shibata Katsuie was in high spirits, he crossed the Asano River, preparing to besiege Kanazawa Gobo and completely capture the Kaga country.

Hashiba Hideyoshi, who had just arrived at the front line, didn't know what was wrong with him. She had always been respectful to Shibata Katsuie and considered her senior, but she suddenly strongly questioned Shibata Katsuie's strategic plan.

The internal discord instantly tied the hands and feet of Shibata Katsuie, making the fierce general who claimed to be the most important minister of the Oda family furious.

The Oda Army stalled on the banks of the Asano River and had to hold an internal military discussion to reach a consensus before taking action.

In Shibata Katsuie's main formation, a group of high-level samurai were kneeling and sitting on the mat.

Shibata Katsuie sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression, while Shibata Hideyoshi, the leader of the group, made an impassioned speech, looking like a loyal minister who gave impartial and direct advice.

Seeing the sunset, Shibata Katsuie, who had been discussing for a whole day but failed to come up with a result, felt more and more irritated.

Since marrying Asai Nagamasa's widow, Oda Nobunaga's younger brother, Ichikun, Shibata Katsuie has become a member of the Oda family.

She was rewarded 40 koku by Oda Nobunaga in the Echizen Kingdom. She was the first retainer in the Oda family to serve as the head of a kingdom. She can be said to be the highest-ranking minister in the Oda retainers group.

But now, Shibata Katsuie is about to be spat at by Hashiba Hideyoshi, a junior who was born as a servant, saying that there is something wrong with her military strategy.

When I was fighting, you were still using your breasts to cover the main hall's straw sandals to flatter me!Hideyoshi Hashiba, you are a sycophant, how dare you speak nonsense in front of me!

Shibata Katsuie, who couldn't bear it anymore, shouted loudly and said.

"That's enough! Stop talking nonsense! Hideyoshi Hashiba, just give me the right words. Do you want to obey my command in this battle?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at the angry Shibata Katsuie, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge.

Who likes to grovel and be small?Isn't that impossible?

Hideyoshi Hashiba came from a humble background, and was raised up as a role model by Oda Nobunaga. From a servant to a samurai family, Hideyoshi experienced many eye-rolls and heartaches. Only she knew it best.

Unlike Niwa Nagahide, who was always taking care of her, Shibata Katsuie never looked down on her.

Hideyoshi Hashiba coyly tried to force a relationship, combining Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie's Miao characters and using them on himself. This incident was often laughed at.

Hashiba Nae's name is a joke, but Hashiba Hideyoshi has to live with this big joke, she has no choice.

Over the years, I was used to groveling in front of Shibata Katsuie, and today I suddenly straightened my back. Although it was due to Takenaka Shigeharu's plan, it still made Hideyoshi feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

It's so satisfying to make people who look down on you get furious in front of you and have no choice but to do anything.There was even a trace of delusion in Hashiba Hideyoshi's heart.

What a wonderful thing it would be if Oda Nobunaga could be humbled in front of him, Yoshigan Shiba could kneel and lick in front of him, and the two most powerful people in the world could be humbled.

Just this trace of delusion made Hashiba Hideyoshi almost excited. A sickly flush appeared on her face, and she bowed with a smile.

"Shibata-sama, if I don't want to, I really can't.

The Fushimi Castle system was established, and the Shiba and Oda families worked together to advance together. This was the grand strategy set by the saint and the main hall.

If you insist on going your own way and destroying the overall strategic cooperation between the two companies, please forgive me for not complying. "

Shibata Katsuie said angrily.

"How many times have I told you that the main palace has sent envoys to Noto, Vietnam and China, and ordered the local martial arts to cooperate with us in the suppression of those who rebel against the party!

I have no problem with my military operations!No need for you to worry! "

Hashiba Hideyoshi said solemnly.

"I disagree with Mr. Shibata's remarks.

The Hokurikudo Three Kingdoms Relations Hokurikudo trade route, the Shiba family has always attached great importance to, and any military operations here must be cautious, no matter how cautious.

The main hall only sent envoys to communicate with the Vietnamese and Chinese military families, and did not order an attack on the Yixiang Zong in Vietnam and China. However, you decided to cross the border without authorization. I think this is inappropriate. "

Shibata Katsuie was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but could not refute Hideyoshi in public.

We are all old subordinates of Oda Nobunaga. Don’t you know what kind of character your boss is?
Oda Nobunaga must have coveted the ability to conquer Vietnam and China. Kaga always thought that it would be too easy to win, which inevitably gave her the desire to conquer Shu.

However, due to the cooperation between Shiba and Oda, Oda Nobunaga could not come openly.

That's why she sent envoys to intimidate the samurai families in Vietnam and China, and on the other hand, gave Shibata Katsuie instructions to act expediently, allowing Shibata Katsuie to enter the territory of the Vietnam-Chinese Ichiku clan in his own name.

Will be outside, the king's life will not be affected.

As the top commander on the front line, Shibata Katsuie makes judgments based on the actual situation. This is normal.

As long as Oda Nobunaga didn't give the direct order and Yoshihiro Shiba pursued him afterward, Oda Nobunaga could pretend to be innocent and find excuses to make a fool of himself.

But Hashiba Hideyoshi seized on the fact that Oda Nobunaga did not give a clear order and forcibly stopped Shibata Katsuie, making Shibata Katsuie very angry.

Shibata Katsuie knew in his heart that it wasn't that Hideyoshi couldn't understand Oda Nobunaga's purpose, but that Hashiba was pretending to be confused and deliberately making things difficult for himself!
Although I don’t know what kind of madness Hashiba Hideyoshi got, and he actually wanted to destroy Oda Nobunaga’s strategic plan and mess with him here, but Shibata Katsuie was really troubled at this moment.

Oda Nobunaga did not give a clear order, but Shibata Katsuie was indeed eager to cross the border, acquire more territory, and increase his strength and confidence.

Although she is already the leader of the 40-stone kingdom and seems to have unlimited glory, in fact, she is like a person drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold.

The 40 stones of the Echizen Kingdom are dominated by Katsuie Shibata, but the three most powerful warriors under Katsuya Shibata's command, and the three people in the mansion, are not her own.

Shibata Katsuie is different from Hashiba Hideyoshi, who is very good at making people. She is a military commander and not very good at winning over people.

Therefore, the force sent to her by Oda Nobunaga, even though he has followed her for many years, still thinks that the relationship between Oda's retainers and Shibata Katsuie's personal relationship is not close enough.

Not to mention the three people in the mansion under Shibata Katsuie. They were all big bosses from various parties who had inserted themselves in. They were not of the same mind as Shibata Katsuie.

There are three people in the mansion, namely Sasana Narimasa, Fuwa Mitsuji, and Maeda Toshiie.

Sasana Narimasa was a member of the Shimowari old samurai family, but he did not belong to the Shibata Katsuie line of samurai sects, but was from Oda Nobunaga's mother-in-law clan.

Fuha Koji was born in Nishi Mino. He was the fourth member of the three people in Nishi Mino. He was also a typical example of the Mino samurai who followed Oda Nobunaga. He was very trusted by Oda Nobunaga.

As for Maeda Toshiie, although she was a subordinate of Shibata Katsuie in her early years, she is now the acting commander of Owari Shiba, representing the interests of the Shiba family.

Among the three strongest people under Shibata Katsuie, two were Owari-sect Mino-sect supervisors sent by Oda Nobunaga, and one was simply a member of the Shiba family.

It seems that the 40 stone king is awesome, but the water in the middle can't be squeezed out, and there are constraints all around. How can Shibata Katsuie feel comfortable?

The expedition to Hokurikudo was a great opportunity for Shibata Katsuie.She needs to gain a lot of territory, divide her teammates, and win people's hearts.

The Kaga country stone is 35 high, and the Yue China stone is 38 high. Not to mention how much land Shibata Katsuie can obtain from the conquest, she can at least feed her power and divide outsiders.

But at this important juncture, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was sent by Oda Nobunaga, must sing the opposite.

This monkey, isn't she afraid of being severely punished by Oda Nobunaga after she goes back?
Although Shibata Katsuie was angry in his heart, he couldn't accept Hashiba Hideyoshi's attitude of tearing off his fig leaf and telling the truth.

Oda Nobunaga was pretending to be confused, vaguely extending his hand to Shiba's sphere of influence. How dare Shibata Katsuie call me "Mother" in public? It was intentional.

Later, if Shiba Yoshigan comes to Oda Nobunaga with the argument, Oda Nobunaga puts the blame on Shibata Katsuie's head, is Shibata Katsuie wronged?
Hideyoshi's words caught Shibata Katsuie, but in the eyes of some others, he was extremely angry.

Sasaki Namasa snorted coldly.

"Alarmist!"

Shibata Katsuie has bribed Sasaki Masa and promised her that as long as she takes over China, she will recommend Sasaki Masa as the leader of the country.

Although the pancake was indeed a bit big, even if only part of it was fulfilled, it would be enough for Naruto Sasa to support him.

Therefore, Sasaki Naimasa wholeheartedly supports Shibata Katsuie's sending troops. It is best to win Kaga Noto Etsuchu Three Kingdoms in one go, and everyone will make a lot of money.

But as soon as Hideyoshi Hashiba came, he couldn't do this or that, which immediately angered Sasaki Narimasa.

What's more, Sasaki Narimasa was born in a maternal clan and claimed to be a direct descendant of Oda Nobunaga. The one he looked down upon the most was Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was a servant.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents. Isn't it doubly disgusting to have someone who looks down on you block your financial path?

Hashiba Hideyoshi came to Hokurikudo to join the war. Everyone was worried that she was here to get an extra piece of the pie, but who knew that she was here to break the pot.

Damn dead monkey, it’s nothing!
