Todo Tora has wasted half his life and knows that starting a business is not easy. However, Todo Takatora was successful as a young man and followed Shiba Yiyin to easily win the Wanshi family business.
The mother and daughter have completely different ideas, and neither can convince the other. Todo Toradaka cannot expose the matter of deposing the heir to Yoshigami Shiba, as this will make the master doubt the leader of Todo.
Todo Toraoka has done so many things to finally make Shiba Yoshigan look at Toudo leader in a new light. How could he reveal a scandal in the family by himself and arouse the Lord's disgust for nothing?
Just when Toudo mother and daughter were becoming more and more discordant, Toudo Takataka was suddenly killed, which immediately relieved the pressure on Toudo Takataka, and he couldn't help but feel the pleasure of being the master of the family from the bottom of his heart.
Todo Takatora knew very well that the murderer was definitely not a descendant of the Oda family. She personally led the team to massacre Oda's entire family.
Each corpse was stabbed repeatedly to prevent anyone from pretending to be dead, and then burned. The ending was handled very cleanly, and it would be damned if anyone could survive.
Therefore, there is another hidden reason behind the mother's death.
The Oda family occupied Minami Omi, and the Rokkaku family, the sworn enemy of the Asai family in North Omi, was defeated, and all foreign troubles were gone. The Asai family was finally free to clean up Kitaomi's thorny side, and Shibatodo took the lead.
The death of Takataka Toudo in the Minami Omi Allied Forces made Takataka Toudo firm in his idea of changing the family.
The Oda family and the Asai family were originally married, but Todo Takatora's death was mysterious. While Toudo Takatora was panicked, he also sensed a good opportunity.
The Oda Asai family joins forces, and Shiba Yoshigage cannot protect Todo leader, so Toudo Takatora can justifiably alienate the Shiba family and join the new master.
As long as Toudo Takatora bites the bullet and asks Yoshigan Shiba to avenge his mother, Yoshigan Shiba will be in a very difficult position.
The assassin is the last descendant of Oda, and he comes and goes without a trace. Toudo Takatora knew that this person did not exist, but she insisted on using such a fictional character to talk about things, and Shiba Yigen also had a headache.
If we really get to the bottom of the matter, can the Asai family and the Oda family be separated from each other? Are the Shiba family ready to fall out with the Asai-Oda family?
If he couldn't do it, how could Yoshigan Shiba have the dignity to instruct Takatora Toudo? Shiba Yiyin is not one of those shameless and famous men. This male house governor is very moral and a gentleman can bully him.
He glanced at Maeda Yoshiyoshi and Otani Yoshitsugi in front of them. They were concentrating on their way and showed their backs to Toudo Takatora without any scruples.
Toudo Takatora's eyes were a little guilty and a little cold. She was unwilling to accept the status quo and was full of confidence in her abilities. The future of the Todo family should not be limited to Todo’s mere 10,000 koku.
At the beginning, the three princesses' agreement to work together has gradually become constrained and boring to Takatora Toudo under the increasingly complex new situation.
Takatora Toudo prepares to lead Shiba Yoshigan's army to pave the way for his future direction, so that he can confidently abandon the Shiba family.
Who knows, I can also offer a generous gift to the new owner and achieve great success.
As for the two old comrades who fought side by side and fought bloody battles, Takatora Toudo had no choice but to say sorry.
Don't blame me, these are troubled times.

In recent times, the Sibo family has been in chaos, with internal and external troubles, and countless people have their own little thoughts.
Far away in Kanto, Terutora Uesugi, who had just returned from the defeat of Shimo-sou Kingdom, was looking at the Kanto Plain from Numata Castle, silently licking his wounds.
The situation in Guan Bazhou has deteriorated day by day since the day she was defeated.
Hojo Ujiyasu had long been looking forward to a chance to make a comeback, and she almost took advantage of Teru Uesugi's defeat to the extreme.
She took advantage of the situation to remove Oishi Sadahisa, win over Ota Yasushi and return to the Hojo family, and instigate Narita Nagayasu, who was dissatisfied with Uesugi Teruhora, to become independent. Musashino instantly escaped from Uesugi Teruhora's control.
Coupled with the rebellion of Mouri Kagehiro and Sano Masatsuna, who were incited by Hojo Ujiyasu, the Ueno and Shimono countries also began to become unstable, cutting off Uesugi Teruatora's passage southward to Musashi Shimotsou two countries.
The Kanto general Ashikaga Yoshiji, who was in the Furukawa territory of the Lower Sovereign, suddenly panicked. Without the support of Uesugi Terutora, how should she deal with the comeback of Hojo Ujiyasu?
Therefore, with the deliberate win over from Hojo Ujiyasu's letter, Ashikaga Yoshiji's attitude gradually became ambiguous and softened his neutrality.
The Kanto system headed by the Kanto general Ashikaga Yoshiji and the Kanto administrator Uesugi Teruhora, which Yoshigan Saba had painstakingly established, fell to the edge of collapse.
Uesugi Teruhu was desperate. She bypassed Shiba Yoshigan and forcibly launched the Kanto strategy, which was a complete failure.
There were already voices of dissatisfaction with her in Echigo, and the Kanto Servant Department affiliated with Shiba Yoshigan looked on with cold eyes.
Uesugi Terutora's authority was severely damaged. Even if she wanted to do something to thwart Hojo Ujiyasu's counterattack, it was difficult to mobilize her strength.
The original plan to seize the power of Guan Bazhou and force Shiba Yiyin to marry him was completely ruined, and almost all the results of their previous efforts were lost.
Uesugi Teruhu didn't know how to face Shiba Yoshigan in the future. He was drunk and dreaming all day long, which made the samurai families at home and abroad even more uneasy.
———
Numata Castle, in the residence hall, Uesugi Terutora is drinking in the atrium.
Kawada Naga personally led the Minister of Coloring, Minoru, to see the drunk Uesugi Terutora from a distance, with a worried look on his face.
She, Yoshie Tsaiken, and Ozaka Nagamin were the official samurai that Uesugi Teruhu accepted from Omi Kingdom. Their relationship with the local Echigo forces was quite alienated.
Uesugi Teruhora's prestige was shaken, and they were the hardest hit. They had a share in the newly conquered Echichu Tomoyuki Territory by the Uesugi family, and they were also part of the army guarding Numata Castle.
Once Terutora Uesugi becomes decadent and the power of the Uesugi family declines and shrinks, outsiders like them who do not have the territory of Echigo Kingdom will directly become ronin with nothing.
Kawada Nagaki, Numata Jodai, very much hopes that Uesugi Terutora will cheer up quickly. The prosperity and wealth of the Omi faction in the Uesugi family depended on His Highness, the governor of Kanto.
Behind her, Irobuchi had another thought. Her experience in the past few years has been full of ups and downs, and countless twists and turns.
During the Battle of Kawanakajima, because she participated in the escape of the abandoned master, she was pinned to the corner of Northern Shinano and spent her youth in desolation.
After finally coming back, she was scolded by her mother because she revealed to her mother, Irobe Katsunaga, that Takeda Harunobu had cheated on Shiba Yoshigan to give birth to a daughter, and she was thrown back to her hometown in Shigotsu to think about her mistakes behind closed doors.
She originally thought that she would continue to waste time, but because her mother died in the war, she was able to succeed as the governor of the Irobe family, and was summoned by Uesugi Teruhora.
The twists and turns are not enough to describe her mental journey. The only thing that remains unchanged is her hatred for Shiba Yiyin.
Honjo Shigenaga is also a criminal who abandoned his master and escaped during the Kawanakajima War. Why is nothing wrong with her? Now, our dealer has obtained the privilege of trading routes in Xiayue and is prospering.
However, the director of sex has actually been struggling for several years and achieved nothing. The resentment in her heart has been brewing over time, turning into a bottomless black pool and buried in her heart.
Looking at the drunken Terutora Uesugi, she decided to take revenge. She was going to tell the news that had been suppressed by Irobe Katsunaga today.
———
Hatamoto stepped forward and bowed to inform. Uesugi Teruhora looked back and saw Kawada Nagachi and Shirobu Minato in the distance, with the corners of their mouths raised.
"Let them come."
The two girls stepped forward and bowed, Uesugi Teruhu waved his hand, picked up the wine bottle beside him, and said.
"No need to be formal, Kawada-hime, come and have a drink with me?"
Kawada Changqin said respectfully.
"I just brought Irobuhime here to see you. There are still matters in the city waiting for me to go back and deal with."
Teruhora Uesugi nodded with drunken eyes and said.
"Go and do your work."
Gu Diao
"Hi!"
Kawada Nagasaki bowed and left, leaving only Uesugi Teruhu and Shirobu Minoru in the court.
Teruhora Uesugi shook the sake bottle in his hand, stretched his hand forward, and Minoru Irocho took it with both hands.
"Sit down and have a drink with me."
"Hi!"
Minister Se sat on his knees on the banquet in the court and looked at the Lord respectfully.
Uesugi Teruhora leaned against the shade of a tree, looked at the pool in front of him, and picked up another bottle of wine.
Only then did Shiro Minato discover that there were many bottles and bottles under the tree. She silently raised the wine bottle and took a sip.
Terutora Uesugi said to her with a smile.
"This is Niigata Toushi's Echigo Qing brewed with local rice. You are in for a treat today."
The color minister sighed.
"It's indeed a good wine."
Teruhora Uesugi tugged at the corner of his mouth, looked at Irocho Minoru, and forced a smile. Irobu's solid appearance has some shadows of his mother, Irobu Katsunaga, which made Uesugi Teruhu couldn't help but say sadly.
"Changshi, do you hate me? Your mother died in Xiazongguo in order to sever my future."
The Minister of Color put down the wine bottle and said seriously.
"When the Wu family serves the public, they should have the consciousness of wrapping a corpse in horse leather.
Although my mother's death makes me sad, she died fighting loyally for the main family, which is the glory of the Irobe family. "
Uesugi Teruhu nodded and said.
“Your mother fought until the end, and the Irobe family’s loyalty will be duly rewarded.
You are now the governor of the Sebu family, and you will inherit your mother's position in the pedigree. The warriors of the Irobe family who died in battle will be compensated by the master's family and their rewards will be doubled.
Do you have any other requirements? "
Irobe Katsunaga's subordinates are all the elites of the Irobe family. Now that they died on the road to the end of the road, Uesugi Teruhora must give some compensation to the Irobe family.
After the Yangbei Zhong split, the various parties in Yangbei Zhong went their separate ways.
In the Chichibu party lineage, the Honsho family and the Irobu family have always been equally divided. Honjō Shigenaga followed the Kanto Waiting Office to make a living, and Irobe Katsunaga was an important minister who served the Uesugi family for two generations, so he naturally joined the family.
In terms of status and pension, Uesugi Teruhu was willing to compensate the Irobe family. But the dead warrior Ji and the lost land of Guan Bazhou are in trouble.
After this defeat, Musashi, Shimotsou, Shimo, and Ueno lost a lot of newly gained land. These lands were the Tomoyo lands that were entrusted to various Echigo families after the great victory in the Kanto Campaign.
Irobe Katsunaga guards Sano Castle, and the newly added security guard is nearby. Now that these lands have been taken back by Sano Masatsuna, what kind of supplies will Uesugi Teruhora use?
Uesugi Teruhu was in a difficult situation, and this was also a headache for the Daimyo of the Wu family.
Only by continuous victory and constant granting of land can we maintain the tradition of the martial arts family of being rewarded by the public and unite the retainers to support themselves.
Once the war is unfavorable and a failure occurs, we must quickly counterattack. Otherwise, the retainers who lost their land and population would be dissatisfied.
This is also the reason why Hojo Ujiyasu immediately tore up the agreement and launched an all-out counterattack as soon as Uesugi Teruhora's flaw was revealed.
Neither the Uesugi family nor the Hojo family can afford to lose.
Land and population are all there is, and they must be snatched from the other side to appease their own people, otherwise the status of the main family will be shaken.
This is a zero-sum game, and no one can retreat.
Although Irobe Katsunaga is a veteran who has served the Uesugi family for two generations, Yangbeizhong has always been aloof from him. Irobe Katsunaga cannot be said to be a direct descendant of the Uesugi family.
It wasn't until Yoshigan Shiba came to Echigo Province and used the Shinbada Rebellion to completely dismantle the Yangbei Zhong that Irobe Katsunaga surrendered to Uesugi Terutora.
This time Irobe Katsunaga died in battle, making it difficult for Uesugi Teruhora to make a decision.
A heavy reward for the Irobe family will inevitably squeeze the space of the direct lineage of the Uesugi family. But Sebu Shengchang died to cut off the rear of the army. If he was not rewarded for his great contribution, it would inevitably upset the hearts of his family, which was already in turmoil.
Therefore, Uesugi Teruhu simply gave the ball to Irobu Minato, listened to her own thoughts, and saw if she had any sense of proportion.
Despite the fact that Terutora Uesugi drinks all day long, he seems to be enveloped in decadence by the shadow of defeat. But the Dragon of Echigo is by no means an idle person. He is still the majestic governor of the Uesugi family who dare not disobey him.
When Minato saw Teruhora Uesugi looking at him drunkenly, he knew it was a test.
Irobe Katsunaga died in battle, and a large number of elite members of the Irobe family were also lost in the Kanto battlefield. Irobe Minister was really distressed.
But the situation forces her, what can she do? Uesugi Teruhora couldn't defeat Hojo Uyasu, so why couldn't he kill a little grasshopper like himself?
If he really made excessive demands that would embarrass Uesugi Teruhu, the Kanto leader's anger would overwhelm his guilt, and the Irobe family would be in serious trouble.
Shirobu Minoru said with a serious look on his face.
"I do have a request."
"you say."
"I sincerely request you, my lord, to allow me to participate in the next battle against Sano Masatsuna.
His mother died in battle, all because of Sano Masatsuna's rebellion, which led to logistical disruption and disrupted the morale of the army. This resulted in the army's collapse and the mother's death.
I want to kill Sano Masatsuna with my own hands! This ungrateful thief! "
Terutora Uesugi nodded. She hated Sano Masatsuna.
Back then, Sano Masatsuna opened his mouth and asked for a large amount of money and food, and then he was willing to raise the flag of justice and stand on the side of Uesugi Terutora.
She was besieged by the troops led by the Hojo clan and besieged Karazawa Mountain Castle. It was Uesugi Teruhora and Shiba Yoshigoshi who rescued her with all their strength. In the combined battle of Sano Territory, they defeated the larger force with less and defeated the Hojo army, allowing the Sano family to escape death.
Who knew that Sano Masatsuna was on both ends of the battle, so Uesugi Terutora simply took away her Sano Castle and gave it to Irobe Katsunaga to guard.
Sano Territory is the gateway to Shimono Country. Uesugi Teruhu couldn't believe a swaying wallflower, so he had to have some back-ups.
Sano Masatsuna held a grudge because of this, and was encouraged by Hojo Ujiyasu to stab Uesugi's army in the back at the critical moment when Terutora Uesugi went out to attack the country.
The words of the color minister made Uesugi Teruhu suddenly feel a common enemy, she said.
"Don't worry, I will never let this treacherous villain go. When the time comes, I will definitely take you with me and let you chop off her head with your own hands."
The color minister kowtowed to the ground and said.
"Thank you very much! I will fight bravely and won't let you down!"
