different warring states of japan

Hosokawa Fujitaka shook his head and sighed.

"I got Nizi Shengjiu for nothing. Going to the Western Kingdom is like a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss. Nizi's family is really going to be prosperous now."

According to Hosokawa Fujitaka, the Nizi family once dominated the Western Kingdom. This time when they return, the saint must rely on the Nizi family's local heritage.

In addition, Nizi Shengjiu worked hard in the past seven or eight years and contributed to the Sibo family with loyalty, so he was very trusted by the saint.

Now that he is in the Western Kingdom, the saint will definitely give his full support to the Nizi family. With this solid backing, the revival of the Nizi family is just around the corner.

Although the Nizi family was known as the governor of the Eleven Kingdoms of Yin and Yang, with influence all over the Western Kingdom, and a stone height of 200 million, these were all false.

The Nizi family rebelled against the Kyogoku family and the Ouchi family successively, and refused to hand over the tax money to the shogunate. They had a very bad relationship with the central government, and they only became arrogant for a while by relying on force.

Once it declined, Nizi's family fortune was like ice and snow under the spring sun, disappearing in an instant.

But this time is different.

Nizi Shengjiu has established a firm foothold in the Shiba family. With the endorsement of the saint and his great righteousness, the Shanyin countries will be smoothly pacified.

The Nizi family had local connections and a background in the central government. Even if they did not have the domineering power to sweep through the eleven countries, they had a shallower foundation than their predecessors, but they had more political confidence to rule Shanin for a long time.

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka without saying anything. In her heart, her cheap father was already a dead man, and Nizi Katsuhisa was also a dead man.

If she wanted to attack Oda Nobunaga justifiably, two conditions must be met.

One, personal grudges.Second, public enmity.

Akechi Mitsuhide is too close to Oda Nobunaga. Now she says that she wants to rebel against Oda. How many people are willing to believe her?How many people are willing to follow?
Therefore, she needs her dead father to have a father-killing feud between herself and Oda Nobunaga in order to convince others to believe in her.

The Western Kingdom strategy is imminent, and the geographical location of Tamba Country is too important and must be captured.

Hatano Hideharu is a female owl. This kind of person is a hidden danger in Tamba country. It is better to find an opportunity to trick him down the mountain and kill him, and it will be over.

Akechi Mitsuhide felt it was worth it to exchange Hatano Hideharu's life for a cheap father.

If he works well, Oda Nobunaga will be responsible for the tragic incident of killing the famous lord of the foreign domain and leading to the murder of his hostage's father.

As a result, Tanba Kingdom was obtained, and the revenge for killing his father was also obtained. It was ideal and perfect.

In addition, Akechi Mitsuhide also needed Nizi Katsuhisa to die in the West Country, causing problems in the cooperation between the Shiba family and the Oda family, in order to incite the samurai family in the Kinki Shiba territory to hate Oda Nobunaga.

Nizi Katsuhisa managed Kinki Shiba Territory for seven or eight years, and she was kind and kind. Many Shiba retainers thought of her well.

If she was killed in the Western Kingdom by the Oda family, then when Mitsuhide Akechi attacks Oda Nobunaga in the future, there will not be much resistance from the Kinki Shiba leader.

Nizi Katsuhisa and Hashiba Hideyoshi cooperated to conquer the Western Kingdom. The rear of the Sanin line was in Tango Kingdom, which was the future territory of Akechi Mitsuhide.

As for Hashiba Hideyoshi, who cooperated with Nizi Katsuhisa, she owed Akechi Mitsuhide two lives, and she also needed Akechi Mitsuhide to intercede for her to conquer the Western Kingdom.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was so ambitious, how could she be willing to share the results of the Western Kingdom with Nizi Katsuhisa?As long as he operates carefully and cooperates internally and externally with Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi, Nizi Katsuhisa is doomed.

Putting this blame on Oda Nobunaga is a good choice for both Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Anyway, Oda Nobunaga was surly and rebellious, and there were countless samurai who hated her. Regardless of the truth, they only said that Oda Nobunaga killed Nizi Katsuhisa. Everyone was willing to believe this.

The most fortunate thing for Akechi Mitsuhide now is that Nizi Katsuhisa has always strictly adhered to his duties as a monarch and a minister and did not climb onto the holy couch of a saint.If she really slept with the saint, Akechi Mitsuhide would not dare to take action.

Akechi Mitsuhide knew very well that the women and children of saints should never be killed. This was the reverse of Yoshigami Shiba.

The biggest reason why Ashikaga Yoshiteru was killed and the mastermind Akechi Mitsuhide was able to escape the murder was that Ashikaga Yoshiteru did not sleep with the saint, but Akechi Mitsuhide did.

Akechi Mitsuhide discovered this a long time ago. Men are men after all, and saints are extremely soft-hearted towards their women and children, with almost no bottom line of tolerance.

Therefore, as long as Nizi Katsuhisa has not slept with the saint, then the trouble of killing her and passing the responsibility to Oda Nobunaga will not be too big.

Under Akechi Mitsuhide's smiling appearance, Nizi Katsuhisa has been sentenced to death.

Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't know what his close friend was thinking, and he was still sighing. He felt that Nizi Katsuhisa's life was good, and that Sanin (michi) in the future would probably be the territory of Nizi's family.

If she knew the terrible thoughts in Mitsuhide Akechi's heart, I wonder if she would dare to accompany Mitsuhide Akechi to climb the fatal Tenno Mountain.

The Kinki samurai all paid close attention to the Oda family's Ishiyama strategy, and after cracking this hard nut to resist, the Oda family's general trend was formed.

Without the religious constraints of the Ichikai sect, coupled with the moral blessing of the Shiba family in the center of Kyoto, the Oda family's external expansion speed is smoother than before.

Being blocked from Kinki and unable to support Ishiyama Honganji Temple, the Mori family was sweating with anxiety, but they had no choice but to do anything.

As the old saying goes, if the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, today's Ishiyama Honganji Temple is the tomorrow of the Mori family.

As for Yoshigan, who is far away in Kanto, he has no time to take into account the changes in Kinki at the moment. As the delivery date approaches, he is wholeheartedly waiting for the birth of his little life.

This summer in Guandong is particularly peaceful. The people in the East are not far behind in making trouble. There are saints sitting in charge, and ghosts and monsters do not dare to cause trouble.

All parts of Kanto have ushered in rare peace, and every family is busy focusing on production and development.

The land that was devastated by the war actually had some of the grandeur of the peace period, and the voices of the lower class singing their praises could not be heard.

The requirements of the people at the bottom have always been very low. If they have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in, and those in power have less trouble, this will be a prosperous age.

After a long period of chaos, we hope for peace, but if peace lasts for a long time, the new generation will forget the horror of war, and new waves will be caused.

The only lesson humanity can learn from history is that it never learns.

The cyclical law of rising and falling in order to control chaos will never go out of style, because human nature has never changed.Whether it is our ancestors 5000 years ago or the self-righteous civilized people today, they have never changed.

The peaceful days passed quickly. After the leaves fell in the autumn wind, Yiyin's mood became more and more nervous.

He should have been accompanying Hojo Umasa in Kawagoe Castle at this time because her delivery date was earlier.

Pregnancy in ten months is actually only 37 to 37 weeks of pregnancy. Less than [-] weeks is considered premature birth, and [-] weeks is considered full term.

Hojo Umasa was pregnant about two weeks earlier than Shima Katsuru. She is now 39 weeks old and may give birth at any time.

Therefore, Yiyin stayed in Heyue City these days and did not go anywhere.

But today, he made an exception and left Kawagoe Castle and came to Edo Castle just for one important matter.
