Nizi Katsuhisa smiled bitterly when he thought of Mibuchi Haru, who was still pretending to be ill in Koriyama Castle and forcing Konkisuba to send troops to rescue his family.
The sisters Hosokawa Mototsune and Mibuchi Haruwa are also amazing. They watch their two daughters causing trouble for the Shiba family when nothing happens. If something goes wrong, they will only shout that they need to help the sisters for the sake of the shogunate.
The Hosokawa and Mibuchi families are strong on the outside but powerful on the inside. If they don't have deep roots in the shogunate, what's the point of the Shiba family wooing them?
The shogunate was full of such worthless things, but the Hosokawa Mibuchi family was the most powerful among them, and was taken as an arm by the Shiba family.
This is really disappointing, and what's even more suffocating is that Spo's family background destined him to be with these pig teammates.
People cannot choose their origin. With the benefits of being a descendant of a famous family, you must swallow the bitter pill of being associated with a famous idiot. The gift of fate has already been marked with a price, so there is nothing you can do about it.
Shiba Yiyin can't be an individual who dares to betray his own class, right? If he really has such a high level of consciousness, and the female world can tolerate him, how can 404 tolerate his wanton behavior?
This is not over yet, Maeda continued angrily.
"His Royal Highness Hosokawa Motonsune is highly virtuous and respected, and I dare not make false claims about right or wrong. However, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujihide also wrote to me respectively, claiming that they were representatives of the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families in contacting me on military affairs.
Niziji, is there anyone in the Hosokawa Mibuchi family who can keep their word? Why do we have to go out of many political branches when disaster is imminent? The deployment of coalition forces is of great importance. Who am I joining forces with? "
Nizi Shengjiu also had a headache.
Ever since Mibuchi Fujihide bribed mercenaries to ambush Hosokawa Fujitaka, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family has been in complete chaos.
Mibuchi Haru didn't know how to choose between his two daughters, so he was so cowardly that he hid in Shengryuji Castle and pretended to be sick.
Hosokawa Motonsune is still responsible and wants to maintain a balance between the two heirs and maintain the internal stability of the Hosokawa Miyuki family.
However, Hosokawa Fujitaka's ability was obviously much stronger than Mibuchi Fujiei's. Mibuchi Fujiei, who was gradually falling into a disadvantage, stomped his feet cruelly and simply took refuge in Oda Nobunaga, making the situation completely out of control.
Hosokawa Mibuchi is actually one, but they are still divided into two families. Mibuchi Fujihide is the guardian of Kitakawachi. With her surrender, the land of Kitakawachi is nominally included in the sphere of influence of the Oda family.
No matter how smart Hosokawa Fujitaka is, does she have the guts to put her hand into Oda Nobunaga's pocket? With Oda Nobunaga's temperament, will Hosokawa Fujitaka reap the rewards of doing this?
Previously, the Oda family was so arrogant that Hosokawa Fujitaka did not dare to mess around.
But at this time, Oda Nobunaga had too much to take care of himself, and Yoshigan Shiba was asked to take charge of Nishikonchi affairs. This was a great opportunity for the Izumi-Hosokawa family to take back Kitakawachi.
The letter from Fujitaka Hosokawa and Fujihide Mibuchi stated that they were not fighting for the leadership of the coalition forces. They were fighting for control of the North Kawachi territory.
The military serves politics, and the internal fighting between the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families will seriously affect the military operations of the coalition. Maeda knew this very well, so he felt upset.
Nizi Shengjiu smiled bitterly.
"Actually, Akechihime once wrote to me, hoping that I could face up to Hosokawa Fujitaka's status as the orthodox heir to the Hosokawa Mibuchi family."
Maeda's eyes flashed.
"This guy who talks sweetly and has a sword, does she want to support Fujitaka Hosokawa to rise to power?"
Nizi Shengjiu sighed.
"Maeda-hime, we are all colleagues, don't hurt others with your words."
Maeda benefit sneered.
"Did I said wrong thing?"
Nizi was speechless for a long time.
Maeda's interests conflict with Akechi Mitsuhide's strategy, and they are emotionally rivals in love. The conflict is getting deeper and deeper. He had better stand far away to avoid being splashed with blood from the two men stabbing each other.
Nizi Shengjiu changed the subject.
"The affairs of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family are not something you and I can interfere with. I can only ask your Majesty to make your decision.
As long as you and I prepare the military and logistics well and wait for your Majesty to come back to take charge of the overall situation, we will have achieved success but no fault.
However, the Miyoshi army has already invaded Izumi and Hanoi, and the Hosokawa and Miyoshi families are still fighting among themselves. After all, it is inappropriate.
Why don't you give the two letters from Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujihide to Mr. Harumo Mibuchi and ask her to take care of it.
Although the Shiba family has a sworn relationship with the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, military affairs are serious and meticulous, and no nonsense is tolerated.
We can also delay the request of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family to send troops and wait for your return. "
Maeda glanced at Nizi Katsuhisa. This good old man must have been troubled by Mibuchi Haru these days and wanted to send this giant Buddha away as soon as possible.
Thinking about it carefully, Nizi Shengjiu's method is indeed good.
Hosokawa Motonsune and Mibuchi Haru, one outside and the other inside, have been repeatedly requesting Konkispo to send troops to rescue Izumi and Kawachi.
The status of these two elders is higher than that of Nizi Katsuhisa and Maeda, and it is not easy for them to refuse forcefully.
This time, the two letters between Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujihide gave Kongo Shiba an excuse to delay, and at the same time, let Mibuchi Haru leave and go back to educate the two daughters who were fighting among themselves.
It’s not that the Shiba leaders have refused to send troops in recent years, and the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families have been in constant internal strife. Before Maeda’s interests send troops, those two families must give an explanation, right?
Maeda nodded.
"Just do what Ni Ziji wants. I'll go find Mr. Sanbuchi Qingyu later and ask her if she still cares about those two noisy daughters?
Ask her to go back and consolidate the internal opinions of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family. No matter what, it can be delayed for a while. By then, the king should be back. "
Nizi Katsuhisa breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, such a villain had to be dealt with by a bastard like Maeda Yoshida. I am too shameless, and I am really helpless when this old woman, Mibuchi Haru, acts like a rogue.
After solving the headache for the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, both of them seemed to be in a better mood.
Maeda said.
"I heard that the nun of Enryakuji Temple has given you nine pieces of Buddha armor, and they are transporting them to Tawen Mountain Castle."
Nizi Shengjiu nodded.
"Yes, the Buddhist regiment from Mount Hiei is escorting us with great fanfare, displaying Buddhist treasures along the way, attracting countless people to line the streets and exclaim."
Maeda was interested.
"I hope it will be sent to the nearby Sibo Territory as soon as possible so that I can take a look before sending troops to see what kind of amazing treasure it is.
By the way, where will these Buddha treasure armors be placed when they are delivered to Duowen Mountain City? "
Nizi Shengjiu said.
"Your Majesty has given the order, and it is to be enshrined in Jinduo Hall.
The Tsutaden in Tamonyama Castle was originally a pure ashram for monks and monks to practice. I originally thought that I should go to Kofukuji Temple to ask for a Bishamonten to come back and enshrine it.
This time Enryaku-ji Temple sent a Buddhist treasure, which happens to be enshrined in Tsuta-den. It kills two birds with one stone and saves me from disturbing Kofuku-ji Temple again. "
Maeda smiled.
"Thank you for thinking that other Buddhist temples are dedicated to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. How did you think of inviting Bishamonten back?"
Nizi Shengjiu said calmly.
"Back then, Your Majesty fought fiercely with the Miyoshi family, survived the fire in front of Bishamonten's throne, performed miracles, and was praised by the samurai as the incarnation of Bishamonten. What's wrong with me inviting a statue of Bishamonten?
Bishamonten is also known as Tawen Tenwang in Buddhism. Mount Tawen, where Tawen Mountain Castle is located, was originally named by the Nara Buddhist sects citing Buddhist scriptures and was the eastward dojo of Tawen Tenwang.
Now, even the Hieizan Tendai Sect recognizes you as the incarnation of Bishamonten, and Buddhists all over the world will recognize you as the incarnation of the heavenly king. "
Maeda touched his head and was speechless for a moment.
She was filled with joy and sorrow when she thought that Shiba Yiyin, whom she admired wholeheartedly and once shared the same bed with, had become the Buddhist King in the hearts of people all over the world.
I rejoice when the one I love has a noble character and is respected by everyone in the world. But when she thought about the person she loved being put on a altar by everyone in the world, she couldn't help but worry about her own marriage.
Sibo Yiyin is now a monk, and he originally had a chance to return to secular life. But if he is really worshiped as a god by the world, is it possible for him to return to the world and become a mortal in the future?
Naturally, Nizi Katsuhisa didn't know the joy and sorrow in Maeda's heart. She was really happy when she thought that she would be able to send away the crying old guy Mibuchi Haru soon.
———
Sakai Port.
The Oda family retreated in embarrassment, and the Miyoshi family proudly took over the checkpoint at Sakai Port again. The chief officer of the checkpoint appointed by Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is still Miyoshi Yasunaga, a big shot in the sect.
Miyoshi Yasunaga returned to his familiar position and tried his best to calm down the panic of the merchants in Sakai Port and raise the supplies needed for the Miyoshi army to fight.
She couldn't take care of the Oda family's lackey Tsuda Soki in Sakai Port for the moment, and she didn't have time to visit Shiba family town to worship Takada Haruno. She wanted to wait until everything was on track.
But she didn't go to Takada Harano, who took the initiative to ask her to talk.
The two met in the courtyard of the Shinsengumi. The gorgeous tea party that Miyoshi Yasunaga thought he had expected did not appear. Only a stack of accounts for the Hokurikudo Trading Route was presented to him.
Looking at the account books on the case, Miyoshi Yasunaga's expression darkened.
"Takada-hime, what do you mean?"
Takada Yono smiled slightly.
"Lord Kang Chang, you and I are old acquaintances, so I won't hide it anymore.
These accounts are about the investment and income of the Miyoshi family on the Hokuriku Road Trading Road. I have asked the monks to calculate it clearly and liquidate all your shares.
Here are all the accounts, you can let the followers of Sanhaojia review them. We are all friends. I will add an additional 10% to the price so that you will not suffer any loss. "
Miyoshi Yasunaga didn't say anything. Takada Yono patted the accounts on the desk and sighed.
"Please sympathize with my difficulties.
The shogunate has officially authorized the head of my family to punish and expel the Miyoshi family for their disrespectful behavior of once again invading Konkyo.
At present, the Hokuriku Road trade route must follow the will of the shogunate. I can no longer use the investment from the Miyoshi family, so everyone should get together and disperse. "
The Hokurikudo Trading Road was a business started by Takada Yono. She understood very well the importance of subordinating economics to politics.
The Shiba family and the Miyoshi family are about to go to war. As Shiba's retainer, Takada Harano must side with the Shiba family. This is a political attitude and has no choice.
But when doing business, the most important thing is credibility. She calculated all the investment and income of the Sanhao family, and returned 10% of the compensation. Her honest work made people speechless.
The most important thing is that the Miyoshi family did not invest much, so Takada Haruno could calmly raise funds and kick the Miyoshi family out of the Hokuriku Road trade route.
If it were replaced by Ishiyama Honganji's investment, the number would be huge. All of them would be liquidated and divested at once, and Takada Haruno would also have a headache.
Miyoshi Yasunaga looked embarrassed and said.
"Takada-hime, the Miyoshi family's dispatch of troops this time is the general's summons from the royal family."
Takata Yono sighed.
"But Lord Gongfang has denied the existence of the imperial letter, saying that she has never written a letter to the Miyoshi family.
Now that the shogunate has returned to Kokomo because the Miyoshi family broke the agreement and requires the head of my family to be responsible for the expulsion, what should I do as a retainer? "
As soon as Ashikaga Yoshiaki was mentioned, Miyoshi Yasunaga became angry. This general did not mean what his male cousin said. It was simply a shame to the samurai family.
she snapped.
"Takada-hime, do you really want to do something so decisive? You know, the one who controls Sakai Port now is my Miyoshi family!"
Takada Yono sneered.
"What, Lord Kangchang wants to threaten me with military force?
I have asked Ishiyama Honganji for help. Sakai Port has not been peaceful recently, and the Shinsengumi need some guards.
It seems that the master agreed to my request, and Suzuki Shigehide from Zagazhong accepted my employment and is on his way to Sakai Port. "
Miyoshiyasu was shocked.
She was so angry just now that she almost forgot that Ishiyama Honganji Temple is the largest investor in the Hokuriku Road Trading Road in recent times. How could Master Xianru allow the Miyoshi family to touch Takada Yoshino?
This time, the Miyoshi family was able to successfully defeat the Oda family. On the one hand, Asai Asakura's coalition forces entered Yamashiro Country and almost cut off Oda Nobunaga's logistics line, forcing Oda Nobunaga to return.
On the other hand, it was also because of the intervention of Ishiyama Honganji Temple that he teamed up with the Miyoshi family to attack the Oda family, causing Oda Nobunaga to suffer great losses.
Ishiyama Honganji Temple is the main gate of the Ichijo sect. The Ichiko sect temples in the Ishiyama area are very powerful and their influence spans the three countries of Settsu, Izumi and Hanoi.
The lessons learned from the Oda family's embarrassing retreat are not far away. The Miyoshi family is not willing to antagonize the Ishiyama Honganji Temple and attract the hostility of this group of religious lunatics.
Miyoshi Yasunaga had to hold back his anger and said patiently.
"We are all friends, so naturally I will not use force to ruin our friendship.
Please believe me, Takada-hime, the Miyoshi family came back this time because they were really entrusted by the general to help the shogunate deal with the Oda family. "
Seeing her surrender, Takada Yono's attitude softened and he sighed.
"Lord Kangchang, you must understand that these people's lies are the truth of the world.
The general denied it, the shogunate explicitly ordered the expulsion, and Tsutama Hall was responsible for the anti-Miyoshi war. It was a foregone conclusion. This is not something you and I can stop.
Instead of thinking about the Mihaoshi family, you should think more about yourself. You and I are close friends, and I really don’t want to see you end up miserable. "
Takada Yono invited Miyoshi Yasunaga to come here today not only to cut ties with the Miyoshi family, but also to discuss the interests of the Hokuriku Road trade route.
She also wanted to persuade Miyoshi Yasunaga to contribute to the Shiba family's counterattack.
Miyoshi Yasunaga's eyes flashed.
"how do I say this?"
Takada Yono shook his head and whispered.
"Lord Kangchang, in these recent places, there are many people who are disgusted with the Sanhao family.
Before, the Miyoshi family could run smoothly, but it was because the shogunate was in chaos and no one was in charge of the overall situation. Now that the master of my family has come forward to give orders, all parties have found a backbone. "
