Mother and daughter Mibuchi Haru and Hosokawa Fujitaka returned to Mibuchi's mansion and sat separately indoors.
The two of them waited for the waiter to serve hot tea, and then they started to talk.
Mibuchi Qingyu closed his eyes and said tiredly.
"Fujihide wrote a letter, talking about the general's private message to her, praising her for her hard work in Kitakawachi this year. He encouraged her to take good care of Kitakawachi and share the worries of the shogunate."
Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled.
"Did eldest sister also receive a letter? I have one right here. It is a letter from the general that Yuanchang's mother, who is resting in Shengryuji Castle, received. She is concerned about her recovery."
Mibuchi Haru opened her eyes, stared at Hosokawa Fujitaka, and said sadly.
"What is the general going to do! Fujitaka, don't think so wildly."
Because Hosokawa Mototsune was unwilling to accept Shiba Yoshigan, he entered the Hosokawa Mibuchi Alliance and was ostracized by the Hosokawa retainers group.
With the support of Mibuchi Haru, Hosokawa Fujitaka took over her power and drove her to Shengryuji Castle to rest.
Now the general has written letters to Hosokawa Motonsune and Mibuchi Fujihide. What does this mean? Threat?
If Hosokawa Fujitaka disobeys, is Ashikaga Yoshiteru prepared to pull out Hosokawa Motonsune and Mibuchi Fujihide to seize power and let the Izumi-Hosokawa family take the initiative to cut off from the Shiba family?
Mibuchi Haru's anger is because he is afraid that his sister and daughter will be instigated.
Hosokawa Fujitaka can replace Hosokawa Motonsune. Mibuchi Haru's position as the governor of the Mibuchi family is not the key. The real reason is that the Hosokawa retainers group chose to abandon their master.
The Izumi Kingdom was beaten to pieces in the Miyoshi invasion. If Yoshigan Shiba had not insisted on protecting the Izumi-Hosokawa family during the negotiations, her family's rule over the Izumi Kingdom would have collapsed long ago.
The Izumi Kingdom is the front line where the shogunate directly faces the threat of the Miyoshi family. The Hosokawa retainers hope to unite with the Shiba family and use the prestige of Yoshihiro Shiba to frighten the Miyoshi family.
Hosokawa Motonsune was kicked away because of his ignorance. The retainers supported Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was close to Shiba Yoshigan, to come to power.
If the general wanted to cause trouble within the powerful local faction and encourage Hosokawa Motonsune to come out and seize power, he would be afraid that Hosokawa Fujitaka would be forced by the retainers to do evil things that he did not want to do.
The Mibuchi family was not strong among the shogunate ministers. It was able to control 100,000 koku in Hokawachi and relied on the Hosokawa retainers group. If he offends the Hosokawa retainers, Mibuchi Fujihide's fate is unpredictable.
Mibuchi Haru was very angry at the general's behavior. He was trying to kill his own brothers!
Hosokawa Fujitaka shook his head and said.
"Mother, you can all think of things. Yuanchang's mother should have thought clearly about it after spending a year in Shenglong Temple City.
The current situation is that the Izumi-Hosokawa family needs the Shiba family, and Mototsune's mother has made her attitude clear by handing me the general's letter. "
Sanbuchi Qingyu felt relieved and said angrily.
"General, you have gone too far. The Hosokawa Mibuchi family has always been on her side. Why are you treating us like this?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka listened to his mother's whining and shook his head in his heart.
My mother's life was going very smoothly. For the sake of the Shogun, the Mibuchi family, the Hosokawa family, and the Shiba family, the ministers did not kill her.
Politically, she was naive.
Izumi Province and Kitakawachi were the front lines of the conflict between the shogunate and the Miyoshi family. The Hosokawa retainers group supported Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Haru in accepting Shiba Yoshigan because they had their own security demands.
After the shogun stabilized the side of the shogunate, he believed that his mobilization power of 500,000 to 600,000 koku could replace Yishina Shiba, and promised safety guarantees to the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.
Her testing of the two families seemed reckless, but in fact it was an honest poaching backed by strength.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is the general, the lord of the world.
As long as the strength is in place, of course you can do this. She is just a gesture now, so that the Hosokawa Mibuchi family can be mentally prepared.
Sibo Yiyin's ability to intimidate the Sanhao Family was not based on the mobilization power of two hundred thousand dan. The 200,000 shi from the nearby Si Bo Ling was actually not much.
The real strength of the Shiba family is that Shiba Yoshiyin is so good at fighting. No matter how strong the land and population mobilization power is, if others can't defeat it, it still has a p point!
What Fujitaka Hosokawa is worried about is that the general will try his best to prove that his force is enough to protect the local area in order to conquer the powerful local factions.
Will she launch an aggressive oppression of the Miyoshi family? As a result, the relationship between the Miyoshi family and the shogunate became tense again.
Hosokawa Fujitaka asked.
"Mother, if the general provokes the Mihaoshi family, what should I say?
Support, neutral, or oppose? "
Mibuchi Haru was stunned. Hosokawa Fujitaka was the actual person in charge of the two families. What she said meant something.
Not to mention Tanba Kingdom in the north, the frontier of the confrontation between the Miyoshi family and the shogunate was Settsu Kingdom.
Facing Izumi Province in the south, Kitakawachi in the southeast, and Yodo Castle in Yamashiro Province, not far away is Shoryuji Castle, the territory of the Hosokawa family, all of which are the territory of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.
Sanbuchi Haru hesitated.
"The general won't do this, right?
Although the Mihaoshi family has internal disagreements, there is no civil war yet.
Her family's mobilization force is millions of stones. As long as there is no internal fighting, the general's power is not enough to cope with it. "
Sanbuchi Qingyu said it indifferently. He didn't have a clear attitude and didn't dare to express his disobedience to the general.
Hosokawa Fujitaka looked up to the sky and sighed.
The mother was a person who looked forward and backward. Without the clear support of the Sanyuan family, how could she have the confidence to stop the general from taking risks?
If there is no civil strife in the Mihaoshi family, the general will certainly not take risks. But what if someone misleads her and makes her think that the Mihaoshi family is in chaos?
Ashikaga Yoshiki, who has a strong temper and is eager for success, will be taken to the ditch.
In Hosokawa Fujitaka's mind, Akechi Mitsuhide's pretty smiling face appeared. So that's what this guy had in mind.
Sure enough, how could Mitsuhide Akechi helplessly watch Yoshigan Shiba marry into the Imperial Palace? She wanted to bring about the complete decline of the Ashikaga family, so that the general would no longer be qualified to marry Yoshigan Shiba.
The shogunate was attacked, and the Hosokawa Mibuchi territory bore the brunt of the attack and became a battlefield. Mitsuki Akechi shows how cruel you are.
Hosokawa Fujitaka was heartbroken. In this case, Yoshigan Shiba would no longer have to marry a general who had lost his power.
Hosokawa Fujitaka looked at the hesitant Mibuchi Haru with a complicated expression. The words came to his lips, but they were stuck between his lips and teeth.
She didn't expect that Akechi Mitsuhide was crazier than she expected, and was unwilling to leave any possibility at all.
———
Hosokawa Fujitaka from Kyoto just sighed, but Nizi Katsuhisa from Peking University and Koriyama Castle had a splitting headache.
Something was wrong, very wrong.
Maeda Benedict sent a document to intervene in the turmoil at the Minami Omi Rokkaku family and help Rokkaku and his daughter return to Kannonji Castle. I hope she can understand.
understand? I understand!
The Minami Omi Rokkaku family is the Shiba family's number one hostile force in recent times. Ever since the Miyoshi family retreated and gave up on Shangluo, the only one that could pose a threat to the Konkisbo Territory was the Rokkaku family.
This kind of powerful force that sticks to the territory should be allowed to cause trouble in her family. It is best to break up into pieces. Maeda's interests concocted a bunch of reasons to intervene, and he must have hidden his true intentions.
This guy is dishonest.
