Chapter 1975 The beginning of civil strife in Oda

The village of Kamao suffered a bitter loss. Seeing Yoshigami holding Tora Chiyo, he became even more jealous and secretly gritted his teeth.

Maeda Benefit is deeply favored and is not afraid of the Tongxin Secretariat making things difficult, but Lin Xinsheng, who is engaged in Confucianism, may not have the courage to go back and talk to Lin Xinsheng to give Maeda Benefit a blow.

Pu Sheng's hometown believes that Lin Xinsheng is a smart man and will not play tricks with the makers of the rules of the game. Confucianism is always good at licking.

As long as Confucianism spreads, all school districts will benefit. Maeda's interests are not the only one who is proud of it. The Kamo clan does not mind if Confucianism accounts for a little more or less in Shiba's selection.

Yiyin didn't want to pay attention to the undercurrent between the two behind him. Since ancient times, the selection system has always been a struggle for interests. If there is no fight, there will be trouble.

As long as they can maintain harmony on the surface, Yiyin doesn't want to think too much.

Yiyin teased the child, looked at Tian Tianyi, and asked.

"Yoshitsugi Otani arrived in Kyoto?"

Maeda Yiyi bowed.

"Hey, Otani-hime has entered the capital with her team. Due to the incident at Honnoji Temple, all the coalition forces scattered are bowing their heads and obeying orders. Kyoto is safe and sound."

In fact, the Shiba family has no shortage of allies near Kyoto. Akechi Mitsuhide's excuse for going to Luo was also to use the road to conquer Tamba Country. Who knew that this guy made a false shot and passed at Oda Nobunaga.

After the various coalition forces in the Shiba camp acquiesced in Mitsuhide Akechi killing Oda Nobunaga, they immediately abandoned Mitsuhide Akechi and stood aside.

That's why Mitsuhide Akechi fell into isolation and had no choice but to go to Yamazaki alone to stop Hashiba Hideyoshi's revenge army.

Now that the saint has returned, Otani Yoshitsugi has taken the order to go north to Kyoto, and all the families have naturally returned to the team obediently. No one dares to use their little brains or make any small moves anymore.

Yiyin sneered.

"They are aware of current affairs."

Compared with Akechi Mitsuhide, Yoshigan was actually more annoyed by these so-called samurai elites. If it weren't for their secret support, Akechi Mitsuhide would never have dared to take action rashly, and Oda Nobunaga would not have died.

It was impossible for Yiyin to hate his woman deeply, so subconsciously, he naturally shifted the responsibility to these outsiders.

But in fact, Yiyin is the banner of the traditional martial arts conservatives, and it is impossible for him to betray the class interests he represents.

In other words, the death of Oda Nobunaga, who was engaged in great innovation, may be an unavoidable tragedy. Even if there is no incident at Honnoji Temple, other changes will occur, and it is inevitable after all.

Maeda said again.

"People from Tianhai have contacted Otani Hime to test and inquire about the saint, Qi Qiwan..."

Yiyin sighed.

"Tell Tianhai that I have remembered this favor and asked her to raise the child for me for a few days. I will visit Mount Hiei soon to pick up the child.

Is Akechi Mitsuhide still at Shoryuji Castle? "

"Hi."

"Is she feeling better?"

"It is said that it is not very good, but there should be no problem in moving and it will not hinder the face-to-face meeting."

Maeda's tone was calm, but Yoshigan could hear a hint of a joke in it, but there was no evidence, so Yoshigan couldn't help but glare at her.

Akechi Mitsuhide missed the best period of recovery because of his exhaustion after the miscarriage. Although his body recovered some strength, he lost the right to be a mother forever and could not get pregnant again. Yiyin sighed.

"Ask Otani Yoshitsugi to send someone to pick up Akechi Mitsuhide, ensure her safety, and send her back to Tamonyama Castle to wait for me.

Also, how is the Oda family doing now? "

Maeda smiled sarcastically.

“Of course it was a mess.

Hideyoshi Hashiba took the lead and settled in Azuchi Castle. How could others give up?

Shibata Katsuie led troops south from Hokuriku, and Kitahata Xinbao was also ready to move at Ishiyama, and was about to attack Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Tsuneki Ikeda of Settsu Province was unable to stand in the local area and could only maintain his rule by supporting Hideyoshi Hashiba.

Niwa Nagahide has high prestige and is running around, intending to bring everyone together for negotiations.

It is said that Hideyoshi Shibata, Katsuie Shibata, and Nobuhata Kitabata all agreed to participate in the Grand Council at Kiyosu Castle to discuss the future of the Oda family.

Kitahata Nobuba is the most impatient and wants to immediately change his name back to Oda and inherit the family business. Now he has asked his retainers in the battle to call him Oda-sama. "

Yiyin snorted coldly.

"This idiot."

Yoshigan could tell at a glance that Hideyoshi Shibata, Katsuie Shibata, and Shinbata Kitabata agreed to Niwa Nagahide's evaluation request because they all tried their best to win over the Oda retainers group.

Even though Hashiba, Shibata, and Kitahata are all feudal lords, within the Oda family with a body of four million stones, they can only be regarded as the vanguard.

The real strength of the Oda family has always been in the hands of Oda Nobunaga, which is the Noo Plain and Omi Basin where the three countries of Owari, Mino and Omi are located, which is a large grain-producing area.

Although the island country is isolated overseas, in fact, the islanders have always been a farming people. From the emperor's court to the samurai shogunate, cultivated land has always been the mainstay of finance, rather than a maritime civilization similar to the British Peninsula.

Kinki is able to dominate the entire island because it relies on the grain-producing areas composed of the Osaka Plain, Kyoto Basin, Nara Basin, Omi Basin, and Noo Plain to support the population, so that some people can have military and food money.

The unruly nature of the Kanto region relies on the Kanto Plain, which is the largest in the entire island country and is so large that it has the only fault level.

Oda Nobunaga has been moving important ministers like Hashiba and Shibata out over the years, so that they are always fighting on the front line, while he digests the Nobi Plain and Omi Basin in the rear.

Today, the three countries of Owari, Mino, and Omi have become the core territories of the Oda family. Although the local Oda retainers are far less powerful individually than the border princes, their overall strength is strong.

Niwa Nagahide came forward to save the situation, but behind it were the Oda retainers who did not want to see a civil war in Oda.

No matter how much people like Hideyoshi Shibata, Katsuie Shibata, and Nobuha Kitahata long for a fight to decide the outcome, they have to consider the support of the people and at least show a willingness to talk.

What's more, Oda Nobunaga died suddenly, and these ambitious people were not ready to start a fight immediately. They had to use their acting skills to confuse the enemy and buy time.

Yiyin was not surprised that they decided to negotiate in Qingzhou City.

It was the starting point of Oda Nobunaga's hegemony, and the pride of Oda's retainers. It was also in Qingsu Castle that Yoshihiro first sent mugwort.

Without Oda Nobunaga, there would be no today's four-million-stone Oda leader. The Oda Hime Warriors would just be a group of country bumpkins eating dirt in Owari. How would they have the chance to become local overlords everywhere?

Don't look at it. In order to check and balance the Oda retainers group, Oda Nobunaga continued to introduce new blood, and brought samurai families from Mino Omi and Ise and other places into the Hime Samurai Order, diluting the power position of the Owari samurai family.

But in fact, the ones who still dominate the Oda retainers group are Hideyoshi Shibata, Katsuie Shibata, Nagahide Niwa, Shinbo Kitahata, Tsuneki Ikeda and other samurai who came from Shimowari.
