Yoshihiro was telling the truth, but Mitsuhide Akechi thought he was stuck without soldiers and wanted to serve his country.
"That's not necessarily the case. There are still some military forces available. Sir Nizi, you are new to Sibo. Why don't you think about it for the Lord?"
Akechi Mitsuhide is Kauniko Katsuhisa.
She has always been arrogant, and she had to compromise in order to achieve a smooth battle for Sibo Yiyin. But he was still narrow-minded, so he couldn't help but push Nizi Shengjiu.
Nizi Shengjiu smiled gently.
Akechi Mitsuhide, a counselor with a dark psychology who likes to use small tricks, is too lazy to care and doesn't want to offend. At this time, I thought about the forces surrounding Kyoto.
Yoshigan was also curious about Akechi Mitsuhide and asked.
"Could it be the Omi people?"
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.
"This time the Three Good Lords' Changqing is very powerful, and there are many soldiers coming with great force.
The troops sent by the Rokkaku family and the Asai family will definitely be reunited by the shogunate army to resist Miyoshi Chokei's offensive on the Hanoi front line. They will definitely not bring Yamato to the Lord. "
Yoshigami rubbed his head. He only had Omi who had some prestige in recent times. If he went to other places to become familiar with him, he would naturally be favored by others. But when it comes to borrowing troops, no one will criticize him.
Nizi Shengjiu thought for a long time, raised his head and asked.
"Akechi-sama, what do you mean? Iga country?"
"Exactly."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded with satisfaction.
Thinking of Iga country, this boy Katsuhisa is indeed worthy of me bowing my head and admitting my mistake.
"Iga country? Iga people? Why are they willing to lend me troops to fight?"
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"I just said there are troops available. When did you say you wanted to borrow troops?"
Yiyin stagnated.
Akechi Mitsuhide started playing this trick again, and turned to look at Nizi Katsuhisa helplessly. Fortunately, I now have a backup adviser, unlike before when I had to be treated like a monkey.
Nizi Shengjiu smiled and said.
"If my guess is correct, Akechi-sama's intention is for the Lord to go up to the general and ask for the guardianship of Iga Kingdom."
"Iga Kingdom Guardian Dai?"
Yiyin murmured to himself that he actually still didn't want to go. But it feels like it's getting worse and worse. They won't really let them come up with a team.
Akechi Mitsuhide said.
“The guardian of Ise Country is the Niki family, and the current governor is Niki Yoshimasa.
There has been a turmoil in Iga Country very early. The Hattori family, a native of Japan, has acquired most of Iga Country's territory, while the Niki family's territory is just a few villages near the edge of Yamashiro Country.
The stone height of Iga country is about 100,000 stones. If the Lord can obtain the guardian of Iga country and then seize the real power in the country, that will be the starting point for the revival of Shiba family. "
Speaking excitedly, Akechi Mitsuhide clenched his fists.
Looking at her excitement, as well as Maeda's interest, Toudo Takatora and others who had been infected by her, Yoshigage shook his head helplessly.
"Why should the Iga guardian Niki family give me the guardianship? Even if I get the guardianship, why should the people of Iga listen to me? Why are the Hattori family willing to hand over their rule?"
Akechi Mitsuhide and Nizi Katsuhisa looked at each other, and Nizi Katsuhisa shook his head.
She is not familiar with Mitsuhide Akechi in recent years.
Just based on what Akechi Mitsuhide said, I guessed several countries in recent times, and I felt that Iga country was the most suitable for Akechi Mitsuhide's plan.
As for how she planned to let the Shiba family take over Iga, Nizi Katsuhisa didn't know.
Seeing that Ni Zisheng remained silent for a long time, Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said to Yoshigan.
"The Nimu family has lost sight of Iga country for many years, and now they have no idea about Iga.
If the master coordinates through the general. In addition, he agreed to get Iga to ensure the safety of the territories of the villages of the Niki family.
I believe that the Niki family is still willing to give the duty of guardianship to the Shiba family and form a good relationship. "
Each country has the right to propose proposals for the guardianship of acting officials. Yoshigan came to the capital for the first time to use the position of guardian of Owari of the Shiba clan to seek guardianship for Oda Nobunaga.
As long as the Nimu family is willing, it's not a big problem to get a guardian. But what if I take it?
What Yoshigan couldn't figure out was this, so he looked at Akechi Mitsuhide with questioning eyes and listened to her continue.
"My lord, do you know why the Iga clan became a ninja clan? They have to travel to various countries to assassinate people, collect information for the samurai family's reference, and risk their lives for a meager reward."
"Poor."
Yiyin blurted out without thinking.
Back in Owari, he was so poor that he vomited blood. The territory of 1,500 shi is too weak to raise some soldiers, so you have to raise them. Otherwise, when the war breaks out and there are no troops, neither the master nor the enemy will let you go.
"No matter how small Iga is, he still has a kingdom with a hundred thousand shi. Moreover, by expelling the guardians in one move, he has saved soldiers, food and service.
Why should the Iga clan compete with the Koga clan of Minamiomi for such a despised thing as assassination?
The Koga clan's territory was in a mountainous area, so they were extremely poor and had no choice. "
Yiyin was also confused and nodded.
"Yes, Iga still has some fields, why is it like this?"
Akechi Mitsuhide replied.
"At the beginning, the Iga people drove away the Niki family. The Iga country was declared a rebel by the shogunate and was sealed off."
Yiyin somewhat understood.
“Iga Country has been sealed off for so many years and has not been able to enjoy the prosperous business of recent times.
Moreover, the shogunate was still powerful at that time, so naturally there would be no merchants to deal with them, and there would be no trade routes.
So, prices in Iga Country collapsed? "
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Yoshigage in admiration. The Lord's vision was really sharp. It took her a long time to understand the plight of Iga country.
Yiyin was not very discerning, he just remembered the three fat countries in his previous life.
After the big powers behind it fell apart, it became hostile to the global hegemon and was unable to join the new economic system. Even if the country is rich in resources, it can only suffer from poverty while holding on to its golden mountains.
This Iga country offended the shogunate when it was strong, so it was naturally different from the current Kii country.
The people of Kii Country can still rely on the Miyoshi family's Sakai Port transaction to obtain supplies.
This is also the reason why the Sanhao family can hire them to fight. After offending the shogunate and then offending the Miyoshi family, how could the Kii people continue to play among the big families in recent times?
But Iga is miserable, it has been killed by the shogunate.
People need more than just food to survive. Salt is enough to eat, cloth is enough to keep out the cold, and iron is enough to make farm tools. There are very few of them.
Just thinking about it makes me think that the people of Iga country are miserable. In a territory of 100,000 shi, there must be 40,000 to 50,000 people. These people's daily necessities are not just a little or two.
Some supplies can also be purchased from merchant towns in various places. If the quantity is too large, it must be approved by the local samurai family, otherwise it will not even be shipped out.
Iga is inland, and the surrounding territories are all strong areas of the shogunate. In order to survive in recent years, it must have been squeezed by samurai families from all over the world.
At this moment, I am probably so regretful that my intestines are turning green. I have a stronger desire than anyone else to kneel down and lick the shogunate and return to the recent big families.
"Then why don't they come to ask the shogunate for mercy? Now as long as they are loyal to the shogunate, Lord Gongfang will forget the past."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was extremely poor, so a new force came to him at this time, and of course he was pardoned.
Yiyin couldn't figure out why this opportunity was left until now, allowing him to take advantage.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at him with a strange expression.
"Lord, who will tell the general about this?"
Yiyin casually wanted to name a few ministers, but suddenly couldn't say them out.
Damn it, I was almost tortured to death by these ministers for something like the imperial family system that has not yet seen results.
The confederation of Iga country has allowed surrounding samurai families to earn high transfer fees for many years. Anyone who mentions this to the general will not be hacked to death by these ministers.
Iga and Ise are separated by mountains, and roads are connected to mountain castles, Minami Omi, and Yamato. Most of these border areas were ministerial territories.
Taking someone's money is like killing your parents, Yoshigami glared at Mitsuhide Akechi.
That's what you said, why don't you do it next time? If I find another way to find soldiers, the ministers will try to kill me.
