different warring states of japan

Chapter 265 Anzi
Fujido Takatora stepped back gratefully, and Yoshigin cast his gaze on the next warrior Ji.

"Otani Kichitsu."

"Hi!"

"Since you followed me, you have fulfilled your duties, fought bravely, and sealed Nan Yihe with five thousand stones."

Dagu Jiji burst into tears of gratitude, and kowtowed to the ground.

When she fled in a panic, she had no choice but to surrender to Shiba Yoshiyin.

Who would have thought that in less than a year, she would reap such a big reward.

In Kyoto, Yoshihiro obtained Ashikaga Yoshiki's grace for her, and Otani Village became the general's royal residence, dispelling the Liujiao family's peeping on her family's ancestral land.

Now, with the acquisition of Minami Iga Five Thousand Stones Zhixing, the Otani family has officially entered the ranks of high-level samurai families.

Now, the Liujiao family should treat her with courtesy, and most of the Chinese servants who repented of the marriage at the beginning would beat their chests and stamp their feet, regretting endlessly.

The territory of Dagu Village is stable.

Even if the Rokkaku family went to war with the Shiba family, her family would not touch the general's imperial storehouse.

If the shogunate and the Liujiao family were at odds, the Liujiao family would not dare to touch the territory of the Siba family's important officials.

In this way, she is worthy of the family business passed down from her ancestors, and she will build a solid family status for future generations, and achieve success and fame.

Otani Yoshitsugu was very grateful to Shiba Yoshigin.

She suffers from a strange disease, her skin is festered, and she wears her head and face all year round, so she is not welcomed by others.

Only by giving the opportunity to the Lord, can she have what she is today.

Otani Yoshitsugu bent down again and grabbed the ground with his head.

"My lord's kindness, I will never forget it, and I am willing to shed the last drop of blood for the Shiba family."

Yiyin nodded, motioning for her to back down.

Fujido Takatora and Otani Yoshitsugu are the two dark sons of the Shiba family extending to the Omi country.

Nearby is the territory of Sibo, and to the west is Beihanoi. Now it is the territory of the Sanyuan family, and they are allies.

To the south is Kofukuji Temple and Tsutsui Junkei. It doesn't matter whether they are friends or enemies, and the nuns and samurai can't help but fight.

What's more, there is the nail of Shigehide Suzuki.

To the east are steep mountains, which separates Ise Kingdom from the two places. As long as the main roads to and from Iga are guarded, it will be difficult for an army to cross the mountains and enter Siba.

To the north are Yamashiro and Omi, and Yamashiro Kyoto is the center of the shogunate, so there is no problem on this side.

Yiyin and the shogunate repel the Miyoshi invasion together, rely on each other, and jointly maintain the shogunate's protection system.

The Shiba family has a noble family character. As long as Yoshigin stays in the guardian system to make profits instead of choosing to overthrow it, then there will be no irreconcilable contradictions in the relationship with the shogunate.

Even if the two sides have some discord, they will not go to the point of fighting each other.

And the Omi country is the direction that the Shiba family needs to pay attention to the most.

Omi has fertile land, and Lake Biwa has developed commerce.With a country in Omi, it has the strength equivalent to the Miyoshi family.

What's even more frightening is that Omi is just on the edge of Kyoto.The Seta River that enters Kyoto through Lake Biwa, the logistics of military supplies is smooth.

Whoever wins the entire Omi country is the biggest enemy of the shogunate.

As the vested interests of the shogunate, the Shiba family, watching Omi, maintained the peace of the shogunate system in the east.

Whether it's Minami Omi's Rokkaku family or Kita Omi's Asai family, whoever unifies Omi is the enemy of the Shiba family.

It has nothing to do with the thickness of the relationship, but because of the fundamental conflict of interests.Neither the shogunate nor the Shiba family allowed Omi to dominate.

In the Shiba family, there happened to be two handles that could move Omi.

The Fujido people are the veteran Kita Omi samurai family, and they dared to go to the Asai family to fight against the Liujiao family during the Battle of Norada, which shows that this group of Chinese people are very familiar in the north.

Although he is only a low-status Chinese, Yiyin does not dare to underestimate Togaka the Todo family governor.

This middle-aged Ji warrior has both resourcefulness and bravery, but he lacks the opportunity to climb up.

Now Yiyin has given the Todo family a chance, with territory and identity, backed by the big tree of the Shiba family.

Let's see if her family can drive a wedge for Shiba's family in Kita Omi.

At the beginning when the Asai family went south, the three counties of Kita Omi were only surrendered in name, and there was no intention of giving them military food and service at all.

The Asai family won the battle of Norada, and their vitality was also seriously injured, so they reluctantly agreed to the lord of Kita Omi in face.

Now, Asai Nagamasa has won the position of guardian of Kita Omi in the shogunate, and he has also cultivated himself at home.

Then, forcing the samurai of the three counties to make concessions and effectively rule the three counties is on the agenda.

Yoshigin didn't want the Todo family to fight against the Asai family, but just to elevate her family's family status, so that the desperate Samurai family of the three counties had a way out.

Now the Asai family has a close relationship with the Shiba family because the Rokkaku family is powerful.

But people have no long-term concerns, but there must be near-term worries.

Yiyin hopes that the Fujido family will have more appeal in the three counties of North Omi, just in case one day. .One more chip to play against the Asai family.

This is a shadow.

But Yoshitsugu Otani's side is even simpler. The Rokkaku family hate Shiba Yoshihito deeply, but they are deeply afraid.

It was he who helped the Asai family win the Battle of Norada, and made the Liujiao family's best chance in more than a hundred years to unify Omi come to naught.

Today, the Liujiao family is dissatisfied with the family's internal retainers, and is suppressed by the shogunate externally, all of which are inseparable from Yiyin.

And Yiyin's current Iga territory is attached to Minami Omi of the Liujiao family.

If you don't make plans early, who knows if there will be unexpected emergencies in the future.

Yiyin is going to use Dagu Jiji to have a son first.

This time, she won five thousand stones to know how to do things, and she will return home in good clothes, recruiting people from the Nanjinjiang country to enrich the grassroots of the territory.

Since the era of Liujia Dinglai, the Liujia family has expanded abroad and fought frequently.

Although they have been victorious and even took down the three counties of Beijinjiang, the oppression of the low-level Chinese and land servants has become more and more cruel.

The Otani family is one of the victims.

All Ji warriors in the family died in battle, leaving only Otani Jiji as a single seedling.The Liujiao family also spies on her family's village, intending to swallow up her family's ancestral land to make up for the war losses.

This is the saddest thing about Chinese land servants.

They are the bottom of the shogunate's protection system, they have obligations but no rights, and can only be squeezed.

Today, the Liujiao family has lost consecutive battles.

Not only did they lose the three counties of Kita-Omi that had been laid down by Rokkaku Dorai, but they were also robbed by the shogunate of the mouth of Lake Biwa into the Seta River to build Sakamoto Castle.

External defeat, internal oppression is bound to be more cruel.

Originally, there were military and food services shared by the three counties, but now they are all thrown on the people of Nanjinjiang, which is miserable.

At this time, what will happen when the proud Otani Yoshiji returns to his hometown to recruit warrior Ji?
The Liujiao family has ruled Nanjinjiang for more than a hundred years, and their roots are deep-rooted. Yiyin knows that her family cannot be shaken.

But what if Otani Jiji's territory is full of people who can't survive in the Liujiao family's territory and hate her family?
These Ji warriors are inextricably linked with various grassroots families in Nanjinjiang.

If one day, the Hekkaku family and the Shiba family clashed.

Will they choose to help the Rokkaku family who oppressed them, or the Shiba family who gave them a way out?
Will it drive the riots at the bottom of Nanjinjiang and shake the fighting spirit of the Liujiao family?

This is another dark one.

Shiba Yoshigin didn't expect it to be so far-reaching. These were all arrangements planned by Akechi Mitsuhide when he was discussing military merit rewards with him.

Sometimes when Yoshihiro looks at Akechi Mitsuhide's sunny smile, his heart feels chills.

It's a terrifying woman who can count favors and rewards to such an extent.

When I was angry with her before, I wanted to cry her.Now, after some in-depth conversations, I was frightened and softened.

What a terrible woman.
