In Oda Nobunaga's mind, the Ashikaga Shogunate was already a shaky building that would collapse with the slightest push. Defeating this idiot Yoshiaki Ashikaga really gave her no pleasure in conquering.
After Yoshihiro Saba failed to integrate the shogunate, he quickly admitted his mistake and withdrew from Kyoto to hide his power and bide his time. This decisiveness that surpasses women is eye-catching, but it makes Oda Nobunaga afraid.
But even though Oda Nobunaga wanted to compete with the world-famous Ashikaga military god, Yoshigan Shiba had no intention of confronting him head-on. Both sides develop independently according to their own strategies.
She could only lament that the most interesting things in the world are between you and Cao, and life without you would be extremely boring.
———
Beidahe, Duowen Mountain City.
Sibo Yiyin did not come back, but in recent days, big bosses from all sides in Sibo's leadership still gathered in his hometown to meet.
Settsu Kingdom is in constant war, and conflicts between Ashikaga and Oda are intensifying. This is a troubled time. Let's talk about the current situation so that we can coordinate our positions and share your worries.
The main seat in the hall is vacant, and the meeting is presided over by Nizi Katsuhisa, the acting official of Konkisbo.
The present ladies who participated in the review include the recent general General Maeda Yoshihide, Kyoto Foreign Service Officer Akechi Mitsuhide, Shiba Town Minister Takada Yono, and Shiba Tadashi Foundation Deacon Ishida Mitsunari.
In addition, there were also the ninja secret group Hakuchi Santaifu and the head Fu Yagyu group Yagyu Munomi, who were present to observe.
After several people greeted each other and exchanged greetings, Akechi Mitsuhide asked Takada Harano with a smile.
"How is your health, Yukino-sama? Why didn't you see her come to the meeting?"
Several people's eyes followed Akechi Mitsuhide's question and turned to Takada Harano, who couldn't help but want to scold his father, Akechi Mitsuhide, for being such a bastard.
Takada Yukino and the Mibu wolves of the Shinsengumi almost slaughtered everyone in the Shibachu Fund. This bloody method shocked everyone.
Everyone is more or less aware that Spozhong Fund has a corruption problem. Big bosses from all parties are still trying to use this incident to put themselves in a favorable political position after the corruption liquidation.
But no one expected that Yukino Takada would be so ruthless and do everything in one fell swoop, leaving everyone with no way out.
Fortunately, Yiyin sent a letter of guilt from Kanto and placed the blame on himself, thus resolving the crisis.
On the one hand, Yoshihiro helped the big bosses of all parties get out of trouble, and on the other hand, he protected Takada Yukino, and finally settled the matter.
Akechi Mitsuhide was the only one among the ladies present who did not get involved in this matter.
Before and after the Shibachu Fund was established, she was whipped by Yoshihiro because of the death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and was strictly ordered to shut up and think about her mistakes.
When everyone was grabbing the benefits, she wasn't there. While everyone was being beaten, she naturally happily watched the show from the shore.
In a major corruption case, the calculations of big bosses from all sides were disrupted by Yukino Takada's butcher knife.
Takada Haruno suppressed her younger sister Yukino Takada and refused to let her come this time, just because she didn't want to stir up sadness among everyone and not to get too serious with all parties.
But Mitsuhide Akechi asked the question knowingly and brought the topic into the open, which made Takada Yono itch with hatred and secretly scolded Mitsuhide Akechi for his smiling face. He was really nothing.
But on the face, Takada Yono said with a smile.
"The weather is getting warmer, and Yukino's old injury is showing signs of recurrence, making it difficult to go out.
Mr. Nizi, I remember that Yukino has been removed from the position of head of the household by the master, and now he has no official position and is light-weighted.
It was Tsutado-don's order to let her stay in Sakai Port and recuperate. If she doesn't come to attend the meeting, there should be no problem, right? "
Takada Yono doesn't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean she is afraid of trouble.
Since Akechi Mitsuhide made his words clear, Takada Yono naturally wanted to make a clear distinction, so as not to give people the impression that the Takada sisters ignored the law and dared to make arbitrary opinions without participating in the review.
Yukino is the person whom Yi Gin wants to protect, so Yangno puts Yi Gin's order in front of him to see who dares to talk nonsense.
Nizi Katsuhisa glanced at the smiling Akechi Mitsuhide, feeling a little bored in his heart.
I originally thought of using corruption as a way to taint myself, so that I could take off the shackles of being a recent Sibo leader and no longer have to wipe my buttocks for these bastard colleagues.
But the Lord was wise and wise and saw through her thoughts. The external vassalage of Nizi's family can be withdrawn, which reassures Nizi Shengjiu. But in recent years, she has been the acting deputy in Sibo, and she still has to take care of this mess.
A major corruption case has reduced the energy and spirit of all parties by seven points. Takada Yukino's murderous murderous attitude frightened everyone, and everyone had no intention of fighting among themselves for the time being.
In addition, the external environment does not allow it.
Although Ashikaga Oda looks kind-hearted, under the table there are already flashes of swords and swords, and you come and go.
The chaos in Ise Kingdom was quickly put down by Oda Nobunaga, but the chaos in Settsu Kingdom became more and more intense. Mibuchi Fujihide, a powerful local sect, was also involved, and the fate was unpredictable.
Sometimes Nizi Shengjiu really wants to cry without tears, and I am not the Lord of Shiba. She does not dare to get involved in these top-level martial arts struggles, and she is not qualified to get involved.
But if the master doesn’t come back, who will take the blame?
The purpose of convening the concubines for discussion this time is to coordinate everyone's positions and ensure that the Spo leader in recent times can survive this series of storms safely before the Lord returns to recent times.
Who would have known that before he even said a word, Akechi Mitsuhide was the first to start a major corruption case that everyone wanted to pretend they didn't see and deal with coldly.
Fortunately, Takada Haruno was not a bad person either. He blocked the situation with a few words in the name of the master, and Nizi Katsuhisa quickly agreed.
"Yes, we must obey the Lord's orders.
Just as the Lord asked us to work together to maintain the unity of the recent wave territories when the Lord left, this is what we must do. "
As Nizi Katsuhisa spoke, she glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi. She was talking about this bastard who was not conducive to unity, with a hint of warning.
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, ignored the warning in her eyes, and continued.
"Everyone sitting here is an important member of the family. Of course, we must put Sibo's family business first and unite to tide over the difficulties.
I just asked about Yukino-sama's current situation out of curiosity. Harino-sama is too sensitive.
By the way, I have to explain something.
My lord has postponed his return to recent times this time. It was I who sent a letter to Kanto, asking him not to leave for the time being and to wait and see the changes in recent times. "
Before Mitsuhide Akechi finished speaking, Maeda Yoshida had already hit the tatami with his palm and cursed.
"Well, Akechi Mitsuhide, I came here today just to ask you about this!
There have been so many things going on recently, why do you want to prevent the Lord from coming back to take charge of the overall situation? What are your intentions?
Could it be that the important task of guarding Kyoto given by the general made you feel grateful and wanted to be a good companion of the shogunate, but you forgot the kindness of the master? "
Maeda is so angry.
As the general of the Shibo Territory in recent years, except for her contribution in the military operation against the Rokkaku family in the first year, she has never had the opportunity to perform since then.
After three years of training in the Iga Basin and three years of preparing armaments, the troops were almost stupid.
We are in troubled times right now! In recent years, Spurland seems to be in a peaceful and prosperous age!
Outsiders were afraid of Sibo Yiyin's reputation and did not dare to intrude. The internal new life movement is getting more and more intense, making it seem as if the horse is letting go.
As a military chief in peacetime, Maeda's interests were very painful. She watched helplessly Nizi Katsuhisa, who was in charge of domestic affairs, and Mitsuhide Akechi, who was in charge of foreign affairs, making trouble, and she felt very unhappy.
Now Takada Haruno and Ishida Mitsunari, who are engaged in business, can sit with her, which makes her even more confused.
Are we really still the Wu family?
After finally waiting for Oda Nobunaga to lead his troops into Konki, the war was once again approaching Konki's wave territory, and it was finally her turn for Maeda to show off her skills.
However, Akechi Mitsuhide suppressed the master Yoshigoshi Shiba and refused to let him come back to take charge of the overall situation. He wanted the Shiba family to watch on the sidelines in this political storm.
After hearing this news, Maeda's dream of military success was once again aborted. She was so angry that she slammed the table at the review board and wanted to fall out with Mitsuhide Akechi.
Akechi Mitsuhide asked rhetorically.
"It's strange, I just sent a letter to Lord Jin Yan of Guandong, and I came here today to be honest with you.
Mr. Maeda Yoshida, where did you get the news? I heard that you are having an affair with Mr. Chang'an, the most popular upstart in Kanto. Could it be that she gave you the news? "
Maeda Yoshida squinted at Mitsuhide Akechi and said coldly.
"The fact that the Lord will not return to Japan for the time being is already known to everyone in the Kanto Spur Territory. Who told me this news? Is it important?
I would like to ask you, there has been a turbulent undercurrent recently, why do you want to prevent the return of the Lord? If something big happens, can you afford to take responsibility? Or do you want us to suffer together? "
The news about Maeda's interests indeed came from Dazo Chang'an.
The followers of Shiba Yoshiin in Kanto, except for the Kanto faction such as Daxiong Chaohide, the Kansai faction all come from the accompanying ministers recommended by various families.
For example, Ishida Mitsunari was recommended by Todo Totaka, Ozo Changan was recommended by Maeda's interests, and Ina Chuji was recommended by Maeda Toshiie.
Everyone has the same idea, giving people a chance to stand out, leaving a good relationship, and spreading some news through multiple channels in Kanto.
Maeda's interests are not stealing the secrets of the Kanto Shiba Territory. Ozo Changan has a normal relationship with her. What is she afraid of?
It was just that Akechi Mitsuhide named Ozo Changan, which made the ladies become wary, and Maeda was very unhappy.
Her counterattack was also sonorous and powerful. Akechi Mitsuhide prevented the master from coming back. This was causing trouble for everyone, and he naturally had to accept the questioning of the ladies.
Nizi Shengjiu also heard about this for the first time and said with a bad expression.
"Mingzhiji, you have to give me an explanation."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga were fighting, and Nizi Katsuhisa was not qualified to interfere. But the fire at the city gate has affected the fish in the pond. In recent years, Sibo Territory will inevitably be passively involved in this storm.
Nizi Katsuhisa has been under the greatest pressure as the acting commander of Shiba in recent times. Hearing that Akechi Mitsuhide was blocking Yoshihiro Shiba and not allowing him to come back to take charge of the overall situation, he immediately became angry.
Akechi Mitsuhide was calm, she said.
"My lord has decided to keep a low profile and withdraw from Kyoto to take back the throne, in order to stay away from the central disputes.
The Shiba family had already done this once before, uniting the shogunate against Oda. However, the general did not appreciate it and even beat him up. The lord was forced to become a monk and practice Buddhism to prove his innocence.
Now in the dispute between the shogunate and the Oda family, the shogun is already at a disadvantage. The lord comes back at this time. If the general asks the lord to come out and do something for the shogunate, will the lord help or not?
After helping the general suppress the Oda family, the general was wary of the master's strength. He couldn't suppress the Oda family, so he was just at odds with the Oda family.
Both sides are wrong, why should the Spo family wade into this muddy water? "
Maeda was not convinced by Qi Dao.
"If my lord can unite the shogunate and suppress the Oda family, he will definitely become famous and admired by all the ladies. Even if the general is afraid of the Shiba family, what can he do to the Shiba family?
But if the Oda family gains the upper hand, suppresses the general, and achieves the great feat that even Miyoshi Chōkei failed to achieve, and His Highness Oda dominates shogunate politics, the Shiba family will be completely passive.
Among the three Ashirisbo Oda families, the Oda family is the strongest.
If the Oda family is allowed to win the shogunate again, who will compete? At that time, everyone is a swordsman and I am a fish and meat. Are we still going to let the Oda family slaughter us?
Intervening in the dispute earlier was also to gain the initiative. It would be most beneficial to the Shiba family if a good balance could be achieved between Ashikaga and Oda. "
Maeda's interest strategy is very correct militarily. It is better to unite the weak against the strong than to wait for the strong to swallow up the weak and then take care of yourself.
But politics is never as simple as military cooperation.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki is despicable, she is already an Ashikaga shogun and has the orthodox status of the shogunate.
Oda Nobunaga is taking the road of innovation. What she wants to do is to overthrow the Ashikaga Shogunate and overthrow everything.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga could not care about Ashikaga Yoshiaki, first make her a puppet, and then establish a new Oda Gongyi to replace Ashikaga Shogunate.
But Sibo Yin cannot do this.
Yoshigami Shiba's reputation is grafted on the title of the direct descendant of the Genji to rule the world. He must adhere to tradition and righteousness and serve as the patron saint of the samurai family that the samurai families in the world admire.
The Shiba family was able to confront the Ashikaga Shogun of the shogunate with a body of two to three million koku, and Oda Nobunaga, who had more than two million koku, was borrowed from the four words of great justice.
If Yoshihiro Shiba helps Ashikaga Yoshiaki against Oda Nobunaga, it will be equivalent to returning to the deadlock he fell into in Kyoto.
If you lose, there will naturally be no benefit. But even if Oda Nobunaga is defeated, the ungrateful Yoshiaki Ashikaga will inevitably turn against her again to eliminate the threat posed by Yoshigan Shiba to her.
Yoshigan Shiba is the embodiment of justice, what can he do to the orthodox Shogun Ashikaga?
Knock Ashikaga Yoshiaki down and his reputation is over. If you retreat and give in, the general will make you feel like you are not a human being.
Yiyin's current situation is more troublesome than Cao Cao's treatment of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. At least Cao Cao is not burdened with the name of a saint.
But if Yiyin usurped the throne, it would be similar to Confucius usurping the emperor of Zhou. Then could Confucius still be regarded as the sage Kong admired by all generations?
Therefore, the dirty work of overthrowing the shogunate can only be done by Oda Nobunaga.
No matter how bad the situation is after Ashikaga Yoshiaki was defeated by Oda Nobunaga, Yoshihiro Saba cannot enter the game early.
Because no matter how powerful Oda Nobunaga is, she, a reformist who has disrupted the world, carries original sin. Yoshigan can finally rely on the power of conservatives to fight her and compete for the martial arts world.
But if Ashikaga Yoshiaki wins, it will be a real political deadlock for Yoshihiro Saba. He is in a dilemma, and no matter what he does, there will be endless troubles.
