different warring states of japan

Chapter 656

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.

In order to destroy it, you must first make it crazy.Strong love for the public, dry bones in the grave.

But her face froze, and her smile froze.After making some arrangements, Nizi Shengjiu suffered a blow.

I don't know if it was reminded by Fujitaka Hosokawa, or he had doubts about Mitsuhide Akechi.Nizi Shengjiu, who is in charge of housework in recent days, has been severely suppressing dissenting opinions.

Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't get the needle in, and the water couldn't get in, there was absolutely nothing he could do.

Nizi Katsuhisa was fair and strict, and Maeda Yoshiki, Takada Yono and others wanted to sell her some face.

Under her mediation, several bigwigs from Sibo led the last few days were finally able to barely sit down and work together for the tranquility of the territory.

This should have been the situation Yoshihiro Shiba wanted to see, but it was not conducive to Mitsuhide Akechi's plan.

This guy is really tough.

Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a while, and decided to give up blasting from inside Shiba's house, and turned his attention to Kyoto, where he had a stronger influence.

She said softly to Fujibayashi Anko.

"I hope that in a few days, a nursery rhyme will spread throughout Kyoto."

Fujibayashi Xing said in a daze.

"Nursery Rhymes?"

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and nodded.

The candlelight was flickering, and her beauty was dimmed and brightened in the dark, looming.Her singing suddenly sounded in the silent room, echoing in the room so ethereal.

"A good retainer, a prosperous family, and a happy relationship with each other, Shiba's important ministers do not get along with each other."

She sang it three times, then stopped and asked.

"Did you hear clearly?"

Not only did Fujibayashi Xing hear clearly, but she also understood, and even felt chills down her spine.

She stammered and wanted to say something, but when she looked up and saw Akechi Mitsuhide's cold eyes, she lost her voice.

"Go to work."

Fujibayashi Xingka saluted on the ground, and then fled out of the room as if escaping.Akechi Mitsuhide looked at her back with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

What an idiot, these white gloves don't work well, sooner or later you have to throw them away and get a new pair.

She sighed.

If it wasn't for Nizi Shengjiu's strict precautions against death, she wouldn't want to use this strategy.If it can't be exploded internally, it can only use external force.

Shiba's important ministers don't get married, so what are they waiting for?General, what do you think?
---

In Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide secretly wanted to make trouble.But in this boring autumn, others are not idle.

In Iga, after the autumn harvest.Maeda Yoshitsugu invited Otani Yoshitsugu to come to his residence to discuss the military affairs, and her mother, Maeda Toshihisa, was sitting with her.

The two sides greeted each other for a while, and watched the tea art of the tea masters together in the tea room.After that, we retreated to the left and right, sipped tea and chatted.

Looking at Yoshitsugu Otani who covered his face with his head wrapped and only his eyes were exposed, Maeda said with concern.

"Dagu Ji, is your skin still not good recently?"

Otani Yoshitsumi said helplessly.

"That's it. After autumn, the weather is dry and much more comfortable."

Maeda Yoshiki shook his head.

"When winter comes, there will be few things. You should go to the hot springs to recuperate. I will watch you in the country, so it's fine."

Otani Yoshitsuya nodded in agreement.

She is now a high-ranking warrior with status, and she is no longer the poor person in Dagu Village back then.A little enjoyment and therapy, not a problem.

"Maeda Hime, why did you call me this time?"

Maeda Yoshitsuki glanced sideways at his mother, and said to Otani Yoshitsugu.

"There is indeed one thing, I hope to get Otani Ji's support.

I want to take advantage of the autumn and winter when there is nothing to do, and reorganize the military service accounts in Iga.

Recently, the military service account led by Shiba has been too chaotic, which is not conducive to mobilization.Once a war breaks out, I, the chief general of the Shiba family, can't even understand the military situation in his hands. Isn't it that something big will happen?
I would like to start with Iga and sort out the recent military service accounts. What do you think? "

Maeda mother and daughter both looked at Otani Kichitsu, watching her bow her head in thought.

This was actually suggested by Toshihisa Maeda.

As the Owari samurai entered the Iga country in large numbers, the Iga Maeda family's rule in Yuye has been stabilized.Now that the basic market is stable, Maeda Toshihisa began to plan the future for his daughter.

She was scheming, and this method of sorting out the military accounts was originally within the purview of Maeda's interests, and no one could make a mistake.

Yoshihisa Shiba was in a hurry to leave recently, and he just reluctantly assigned housework, military power, and diplomacy to Nizi Katsuhisa, Maeda Yoshihisa, and Akechi Mitsuhide.

Among the three parties, Maeda, who seems to have military power, has the strongest interests, but it is not.

What Shiba Yoshiyin needs is near stability, relying on the unity of the shogunate and local power factions to deter foreign vassals, and no major incidents will occur before his return.

After the failure of the Rokkaku family's Omi Northern Expedition, recent days have indeed entered the period of stability that Yoshihiko Shiba hoped for, but this also limits the power of Maeda's interests.

Without fighting, how would she expand her prestige and power in recent days?

Akechi Mitsuhide has the middle team, Niko Katsuhisa has the Yagyu team, and even Takada Yono of Sakai Port is secretly recruiting wild samurai.

Only Maeda's interests are restricted in the Iga Basin due to restricted authority, doing nothing.

For this reason, Maeda Toshihisa began to think about how to help his daughter gain more power and improve the strength of the Iga Maeda family.

Her starting point is one of General Siba's authority, the mobilization of the army.

The three most important powers in the hands of the ruler are personnel power, financial power, and military power.

The personnel rights must be in the hands of Yoshihiro Shiba. Before he left, he had already planned the authority of all parties. This is an unshakable rule of the game.

Nizi Shengjiu is in charge of housework, land tax, commercial tax, and other income are in her hands, and she has seized the financial power.

And where is the military power of Maeda's interests reflected?Is it just wartime command?Does it include military service accounts?This part of the vague power is what Maeda Toshihisa hopes his daughter will fight for.

In the past few years when Shiba led the start-up, most of the land was distributed to Maeda Yili, Akechi Mitsuhide, Shima Katsuo, and Nizishan as a party.

After that, Shiba Yoshigin went to Kanto and took away Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo.In order to ensure the stability of the Sibo area in the past few days, the Iga people and the Peking University and the people have been continuously withdrawn, resulting in confusion in the military service account.

Maeda Yili, as the general, does not know how many people he has under his command, and how many troops can be mobilized in each territory, which is too unreasonable.

That's why she said that she should rectify the military service account and control the mobilization force of the recent Sibo collar, no one can fault it.

The most important thing is that the policy designed by Maeda Toshihisa for Maeda's profit is to first rectify in Iga.In this way, he temporarily avoided the Peking University and the territory, and avoided friction with Nizi Shengjiu.

No one likes others to put their hands in their pockets, and Peking University and Sipo materials are in the hands of Yidang and Dao Shengmeng in Nizishan.

Now that Katsushima Shimao has gone to Kanto, and Katsuhisa Niko is in charge of the housework, why bother the Iga Maeda family to provoke them.To eat food in one bite, the first goal is Mitsuhide Akechi.

Iga scored three points, and Maeda's interest took the lead, but he couldn't do whatever he wanted.Minami Iga has Otani Kichitsugu, and Kita Iga is in the hands of Akechi Mitsuhide, and the three parties are powerful.

If he wanted to force Akechi Mitsuhide to accept the rectification of the military service account and extend his hand into her territory, he must first obtain the support of Otani Yoshitsugu.

Therefore, Maeda Yoshitsugu invited Otani Yoshitsugu to discuss this matter.
