Yoshigami nodded in approval. Compared to Yamanaka Yukimori's nonsense, Maeda Toshiie's words were what he wanted to hear.
he said.
"I intentionally changed my plan. After reaching an agreement with Her Majesty Oda, I followed her to Gifu Castle and went to Luo with the Oda family.
Maeda-hime, Yamanaka-hime, if this is the case, I will have to rely on you to participate in Shangluo's military campaign. "
Maeda Toshiie and Yamanaka Yukimori looked at each other and kowtowed to the ground together.
"I am willing to die serving the emperor."
Owari Shiba of Maeda Toshiba received 20,000 koku and could mobilize two reserve teams. Yamanaka Yukimori had one hundred elite Odai warriors.
Coupled with the fifty Ji warriors from the Tongxin clan who guarded the banner, Shiba Yiyin could barely maintain the dignity of the coalition forces in Shangluo.
Yiyin looked at Bai Di San Taifu and ordered.
"Hamaichihime, send a message to Sakai Port immediately and ask Takada Haruno to come see me.
She is so powerful. Miyoshi's family was so rebellious that she turned a blind eye to the Shiba Shinsengumi in Sakai Port.
I believe that she can come to me safely. "
Yiyin sneered and said to Ishida Mitsunari on the side.
"Ishida Hime, you and Takada Haruno have been working together for two years on the east and west ends of the Hokuriku Road Trading Road. This time you can finally meet each other."
Ishida Mitsunari kowtowed to the ground and cheered. She knew in her heart that her master was extremely dissatisfied with Takada Yono's involvement in the Kyoto incident.
If Takada Harano fails to pass the test this time, the Lord will knock her into the dust, and Ishida Mitsunari will take her place.
Yiyin thought about it all night yesterday, and he was not planning to go back for the time being.
First, use the military strength of Yamanaka Yukimori and Maeda Toshiie to hold the situation together, and then slowly find a way to get back the power of the Konkishiba Territory.
Nizi Shengjiu had no problem, so he asked Yamanaka Yukimori to comfort him. Takada Yono is a town that believes in no soldiers and no generals, so it is the best to be a soft persimmon.
But Yoshihiro Saba has some headaches over the handling of Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda's interests.
Speaking of which, these people did have true feelings for him. Yiyin didn't want to hurt them, but he couldn't let them do whatever they wanted.
He has already thought about the arrangements for Takada Harano. It was because he promoted her too quickly and made her forget about it. Let her be Ishida Mitsunari's deputy this time and calm down first.
However, Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda's interests were his think tanks and generals in recent times, and they had many territorial retainers under their command. How to deal with it, he was still in a dilemma.
At this moment, Maeda Toshiie suddenly came out of the queue and bowed, saying.
"Otai Suo, I have something to ask for, and I ask for your permission."
Yiyin smiled.
"What happened to you over there? Tell me."
Maeda Toshiie said solemnly.
"At the beginning, Owari Shiba had thirteen thousand koku. Three thousand koku was the place of knowledge and practice that was rewarded by the Lord, and ten thousand koku was the new territory that was developed later.
I have written to you to deposit the 10,000 koku in the form of Shiba materials in the name of Owari Shiba, and you have approved it.
Now, His Majesty Oda has changed the title of Mino Province to 20,000 koku, leaving only Kashimura with 1,500 koku in Owari.
Xicun is the ancestral site of Yutai Suo, I dare not lie. Please incorporate the new 20,000 stone collar of the county into the Sibo Materials Institute. "
After Maeda Toshiie finished speaking, before Yoshigan could react, Yamanaka Yukimori's eyes changed.
Sibo Prefecture was a trust territory that was originally entrusted to several important ministers by Yiyin.
Because Shiba Yiyin lacked the generational retainers and had no direct subordinates, he had no choice but to hand over the direct officials to the care of trusted ministers in the form of materials.
But all the martial arts members in Sibo's family knew that the important minister of Sibo who had obtained the information was a possible candidate for marriage.
Because it is impossible for the direct leadership of the Sibo family to remain in the hands of outsiders. Then, of course, the important ministers who get Spo's information will be regarded as the contenders for marriage by default.
Yiyin was originally located in Spo, near Spo, and entrusted the Sbo Institute.
Maeda benefited from Iga's fifteen thousand koku, Yamazaka Yukimei received Peking University and ten thousand koku, Shima Shengmeng received Peking University and eight thousand koku, and Akechi Mitsuhide received Peking University and six thousand koku.
In other words, the important ministers who are recognized as candidates for marriage are these four people.
But then, something unexpected happened.
Maeda Toshiie wrote a letter to Owari Shiba's leader, taking the initiative to accept the 10,000 koku new leader as Shiba's material.
In other words, Maeda Toshiie used the 10,000 koku territory he had acquired to buy tickets for the competitors.
Now, she is requesting that the amount of materials Owari Shiba received be expanded to 20,000 koku. This is a murderous act!
The hostility in Yamanaka Yukimori's eyes could no longer be suppressed, but she had nothing to say.
Because Maeda Toshiie is capable, he has established his own territory to buy the qualifications for his wife. All the martial artists have to give a thumbs up and praise him, he is so free and easy.
I don’t know if the marriage will be successful, but the territory and status given away are really gone.
Sibo Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.
"Back then I gave you three thousand shi Zhixing, and you handed over 10,000 shi to Si Bo.
It's better now. Fifteen hundred dan is considered my ancestral mine, and twenty thousand dan is considered Spo's quarry.
Speaking of which, you have worked for me for nothing in the past three years, and you have paid three thousand dan back without taking any penny.
Li Jiaji, there is no Wu family as loyal to the public as you. Are you going to let outsiders poke my spine and scold me for unfair rewards and punishments? "
Maeda Toshiie kowtowed to the ground and said sincerely.
"My sins will not be forgiven even if I die. I am indeed willing to give everything I have in order to redeem my sins."
After Maeda Toshiie returned home yesterday, she felt filled with regret.
He tossed Yoshigami over and over and drank the tea, and in the end, he wanted to rub salt in his wounds and asked him to compromise with Oda Nobunaga and help him keep Owari Shiba's collar.
This is not something that humans can do!
Maeda Toshiie had a bad night's sleep, and finally decided to express his feelings to his master. Everything he owns belongs to Sibo Yiyin and the Sibo family.
Lord, please take it all away, take away my heart, take away everything I have, it is all yours!
Maeda Toshiie's sincere statement made Yamanaka Yukimori suspicious.
She was on the outside looking out for the unknown enemy and friend of the Oda family yesterday, but she really didn't know that her beloved master was drinking tea with other women in the castle tower she was guarding.
Yoshigine saw that the grape trellis between Yamazaka Yukimori and Maeda Toshiie was about to fall down again due to the recent wave of waves, and he quickly came out to put out the fire.
He pretended to be angry, stood up, and said.
"Rewarding me with kindness from the public is the righteousness of the Wu family!
How to define Spo's opinion? This is my power. How can you coerce it with kindness? "
When he got angry, everyone kowtowed to the ground and begged the emperor to calm down his anger.
Seeing that the situation was still under control, Yiyin said quickly.
"Maeda Toshiie has done great service in guarding the Owari Shiba Territory, and I will receive five thousand koku from Tomokyo-gunjojo. The other fifteen thousand koku will be received on my behalf in the form of Shiba Ryosho.
You can figure it out yourself on how to divide the territory, confirm the results, and just write to me.
There are also fifteen hundred stones in Xicun, which you will continue to take care of for me.
Li Jiaji, thank you for everything you have done for the Sibo family in the past three years. Thank you very much. "
I have never been to Shangjun and Shiba Yiyin of Meinong County, and I don’t know the territory there. Since it was hard to refuse such kindness, he had no choice but to make a formality, but he would not interfere in detail.
Yoshigan gave a half-bow to Maeda Toshiie, which frightened her so much that she quickly avoided the bow and bowed deeply.
"My lord is so kind, and I am deeply grateful to Maeda Toshiie."
Seeing that this matter was finished, Yoshiyin quickly changed the topic to blur the matter out, and talked about how to negotiate with Oda Nobunaga in the future.
But Yamanaka Yukimori and Maeda Toshiie subconsciously looked at each other, but there was a slight hostility between them. As soon as their eyes touched, they both looked away.
The size of the Shiba Prefecture is the default order of qualifications for marrying into the martial arts family under his command. Previously, the largest number was 15,000 koku from Maeda's interests. Now, the interests of Maeda Toshiie and Maeda are aligned.
Moreover, Maeda Toshiie still retains the right to take care of the 1,500 koku of Owari Shiba's ancestral land, so she obviously has the upper hand.
Yamanaka Yukimori became more and more displeased with the two Maeda women, especially the Maeda Toshiie who came from behind.
Of course, Maeda Toshiie also despises this handsome Yamanaka Yukimori who is as beautiful as a flower but can't talk too much and looks like an embroidered pillow.
If Yoshiyin knew how they viewed the existence of Shiba Prefecture, he would definitely smile bitterly.
There has never been any dispute over marriage, it was just Mitsuhide Akechi fooling you stupid donkeys into pulling the cart with all their might and dangling carrots in front of you.
Spo's research is part of the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest, and it is the foundation that Yiyin will leave to future children. Whoever's mother can win, she should manage more territory and leave it to her children.
You are all my wings. Si Bo expected that this was not a dowry, but a gift from charity money.
Thinking about the misunderstanding about getting married, Yoshigan hated the scheming woman Akechi Mitsuhide who was adding fuel to the flames.
She just knows how to do what she thinks is good for Yiyin, but never considers Yiyin's feelings.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiteru is arrogant, he actually helped Yoshihiro a lot. Although Yiyin is unwilling to marry her, he also wants to break up with her peacefully in the future.
But Akechi Mitsuhide, a cruel and ruthless woman, killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru, which filled Yoshigan's heart with guilt.
Compared with the warriors in front of him who were barely able to draw their swords in order to get married, Yoshigami missed the Ashikaga Yoshiki in his memory more and more.
The unpleasantness between the two was gradually forgotten, leaving only beautified memories.
In the blind spot in Yoshigami's heart that he didn't even notice, the image of a perfect woman named Ashikaga Yoshiki became more and more plump.
Like fine wine buried in the soil, it becomes more and more mellow and charming.
———
Sibo Yiyin communicated internally with Zhu Ji, revealing rumors of reorganizing Sibo's leadership in recent times.
Then, he received Oda Nobunaga at the castle tower, and the two recalled the difficulties of starting a business, recalling the bitterness and sweetness. Speaking of the depth, I couldn't help crying.
Maeda Toshiie, who was serving on the side, eased the matchmaking in the middle. Yoshihiro Shiba and Oda Nobunaga both expressed their willingness to work together to create greater glory.
The Shiba family and the Oda family will join forces to help Ashikaga Yoshiaki go to Luo, crusade against the Miyoshi rebellion, and restore order to the shogunate.
After the meeting, a large group of people headed by the two lords went to Gifu City, waiting for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to come and join together to form the Shanluo Alliance Army.
And Tokugawa Ieyasu returned to Mikawa first, preparing to mobilize his army to participate in the Battle of Shangluo.
———
Yoshigan Shiba has not returned to Konge, but chose to participate in Shangluo affairs at the Oda family, which made the ladies of Konge Shiba feel very uneasy.
As far away as Sakai Port in Nishikonji, where the Shinsengumi is stationed, Takada Harano also received a summons from Yoshigan Shiba, asking her to go and meet the lord.
After Takada Yono announced this matter, all the ladies sitting there had their own thoughts and remained silent.
After a while, Imai Munehisa asked.
"Lord Takada, what does the imperial office mean by this?
They neither tell you where to go for the meeting, nor do they show sympathy for the fact that you are in enemy territory and it is dangerous to travel.
Are you dissatisfied with us? "
Takada Harano glanced at her and saw the worried look on her face, shaking his head inwardly. Imai Munehisa has indeed grown a lot in the past few years, but he is still a businessman at heart and will lose his composure at the slightest disturbance.
She ignored Imai Munehisa's question and said directly.
"Yui Hama Yui."
Yuigahama Yui was stunned and kowtowed to the ground.
"Hi!"
Takada Yono pointed at her and said.
"I'm going to see my master this time. Your Shinsengumi will protect me on my trip. Go down and prepare."
Yuigahama Yui raised her head and glanced at Takada Harano, a little afraid of this increasingly powerful superior, and whispered.
"I'll get ready right now."
At the beginning, the Miyoshi shogunate agreed that the Shiba family could station ten Hime warriors at Sakai Port to supervise the Miyoshi family's military dispatch, to prove that the Miyoshi family would not mobilize the military and would no longer be hostile to the shogunate.
These ten Hime Samurai are the Shinsengumi headed by Yuigahama Yui.
In recent years, the Shinsengumi has been under the command of Haruno Takada. The leader Yuigahama Yui is cautious and at odds with Harano Takada's aggressive expansion intentions in Sakai Port.
After receiving the military support of the ronin armed group Miburou, Takada Yono became more and more indifferent to Yuigahama Yui.
Unexpectedly, she would choose to have the Shinsengumi escort her when she went to see her lord this time.
Not only was Yuigahama Yui not secretly happy about being reused, she was actually a little scared.
The purpose of the Shinsengumi's existence is to supervise the Miyoshi family's war mobilization against the shogunate. This time the Miyoshi family rebelled and committed regicide in Shangluo, and the Shinsengumi was undeniably to blame. I wonder how the Imperial Council will deal with it.
No matter what Yuigahama Yui thinks, Takada Yono said to Kondo Isamu, the leader of the Mibu wolf on the side.
"During my absence, the Mibu Wolf will focus on stability. For the time being, Master Imai Munehisa will guide you."
"Hi!"
Kondo Isamu fell to the ground and kowtowed.
After being raised by Takada Haruno, Miburou, these ronin with the Makoto flag on their backs and wearing Yamagata haori, have become a scene in Sakai Port.
They are Takada Harano's white gloves, responsible for the gray affairs between black and white. The merchants in Sakai Port are afraid of them because they are a group of real hungry wolves, fierce and cunning, and despise life.
After Yuigahama Yui and Kondo Isamu resigned, only Takada Harano and Imai Munehisa were left in the room.
Takada Yono then said coldly to Imai Munehisa.
“The Lord’s orders must be carried out resolutely, whether you understand them or not.
Don't let me hear you question your master's order again, do you understand? "
Imai Zongjiu's heart trembled, and he kowtowed to the ground.
"Hi! I'm so sorry and thank you for your generosity!"
Takada Yono was actually very satisfied with the subordinate of this big businessman in Sakai Port. She didn't continue to scold her, but gave her a thorough explanation.
"News came from the Spo leader in Jinji that the third husband of Baidi has returned to Jinji and has found out the whole story of the Kyoto incident.
This time the master summoned me, obviously he was dissatisfied.
In the letter, he ordered me to meet him, but he did not tell me the specific address. This is a mockery of my vast powers. Is there anything I don’t know? "
