Maeda was a little worried. Did he act too disappointed just now, making your superiors notice something was wrong?
She was about to smooth things over with a playful smile, but Yiyin spoke first.
"Benefit, I want to entrust this war to you, and you will be the general of the anti-Three Goods coalition."
"Forehead???"
"What? You don't want to?"
"No, no, it's just that the anti-Three Goods coalition has almost taken over all the forces in Western Kinshasa. How can I be qualified to be the general?
Not to mention Hatano of Tanba Province, Araki of Settsu Province, Tsutsui of Yamato Province, and Zaga and Nerai of Kii Province, these outsiders with different thoughts.
Even the three powerful local sects, Hatakeyama Hosokawa and Mibuchi, who are close to the Shiba family, will not obey me.
Only if you come forward to take charge can everyone be convinced and obey orders. "
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"The Shiba family already has three Shiba territories. In addition to the Toshiba family's Owari Shiba territory, which is deeply embedded in the Oda family's territory, the distance between the two Kanto territories has always made it difficult for me to take care of both.
The situation in Konki is getting more and more weird. The siege net created by Nobunaga caused all the powerful warrior families in Konki to jump out and besiege the Oda family.
I don't believe that Nobunaga's siege network will disappear just because of a piece of agreement. As long as Oda Nobunaga's ambition remains, if the siege network fails the first time, sooner or later there will be a second or third time.
If I was not in Konge at that time and was presiding over important affairs in Kanto, and the chaos in Konge suddenly got out of control, how would the Shiba family react?
In recent years, the safety of the Shiba Territory needs someone to protect it. The Hokurikudo Trading Road and the Shiba Chu Fund are the source of welfare annuities. These are the vital interests of the Shiba family, and I cannot afford to lose.
Interests, I hope you can take on more important responsibilities for the Spo family and become the military ballast for peace in recent times.
After this chaos, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family will definitely move closer to me. The Hatakeyama family is weak, and they have long followed my lead.
If the four families of Shibahatakeyama, Hosokawa and Mibuchi can strengthen their military alliance, plus the surrounding forces that are friendly to our Shiba family, we can form a coalition again at any time to safeguard our interests.
If you can take on the responsibility of the General of the Anti-Three Goods for me this time, you will have the qualifications to lead the coalition forces.
In the event of an emergency in the future, even if I am out of reach in Kanto, I can authorize you to form a coalition again to protect peace in recent times. "
Yoshigan decided to compensate Maeda for her interests by promoting her from the military commander of the Konkispo Territory to the military commander of the entire Konkispo force.
In recent years, the Shiba Territory only had 200,000 koku, and it was impossible for Yiyin to add knowledge to Maeda's interests. This would destroy the balance of power among the important officials of the Shiba family.
The peaceful development route advocated by Yiyin made it impossible for him to use force to expand territory and use expansion to increase the knowledge and behavior of his important ministers.
Fortunately, the Shiba family is the best among the traditional guardians of daimyo, and Yoshigan can promote Maeda's interests in terms of traditional status and give her alternative compensation.
It is different from the centralized approach of the Warring States Period, in which daimyo desperately expanded their territories and concentrated power to establish military dictatorships. The territorial mobilization power and actual influence of traditional martial arts are actually not consistent.
When the Ashikaga shogun was at his most powerful, he only had 200 imperial palaces, but he was able to make all the samurai in the world use them.
The same goes for other famous samurai families. For example, during the Eighth Generation Shogun Rebellion, the Hosokawa family, one of the three leaders, and the Yamano family, one of the four leaders, opposed each other, each pulling up power far beyond its own.
This is the political ecology of traditional samurai protecting daimyo. According to their own interests, powerful samurai from various places choose to join the Hosokawa and Yamana factions to attack each other.
As a representative of the traditional samurai family, Yoshigan Shiba cannot arbitrarily annex local samurai families and innovate the political system like Oda Nobunaga did. That would be breaking the roots of the Shiba family itself.
His approach is still to unite powerful martial artists who share his interests and fight in the same camp for a common goal.
In this chaotic world where etiquette has collapsed and music has collapsed, the martial arts family who yearn for traditional order actually have little choice.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the current general, is a loser. Who else can they look for besides Yoshigami?
Therefore, during the Yatsudai Shogun Rebellion, the traditional samurai family could still choose between the Hosokawa family and the Yamano family, both for the sake of justice.
But today, it seems that all the righteousness of the shogunate is in the hands of Yiyin. If the traditional martial arts want to maintain order and interests, they can only actively or passively join the Shiba camp.
As a result, the power of the generals of the Sibo faction has been very great in recent years.
If Yiyin appoints a person as the military chief to safeguard the interests of the Spo camp in recent times, then this person's power is theoretically almost unlimited.
The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs. To ensure the stability of political power, the two most important points are justice and war.
Yiyin asked Maeda's interests to take charge of the military in recent areas. This was to promote Maeda's interests to the position of the second-in-command in recent areas.
There are two main reasons why he made this determination.
First, Maeda’s interests are always cautious and loyal, and Yoshihiro must give adequate returns.
In recent years, Maeda's interests have actually been neglected. Even if she doesn't care, the Iga Maeda samurai group who eats with her will not be convinced.
This main body comes from fellow villagers groups in the four counties of Shimo-Owari and is very united. It is the most important military group in the Sporian Territory in recent years, and it is impossible for Yiyin to ignore their dissatisfaction.
From an emotional point of view, Yoshigan also hopes that Maeda's interests can be furthered. Why not reuse such a loyal, reliable, and capable Samurai Hime?
Secondly, Yiyin really needs a military commander in recent years to help it.
Twice, he has been passively affected by the chaotic situation in Konki and had to return from Kanto to Konki, causing Kanto affairs to be negatively affected.
As the saying goes, there are only three things that can happen.
Yiyin can't always deal with it passively. He needs some emergency plans so that he can be more calm when encountering emergencies.
Among the recent candidates he could trust for important ministers, Akechi Mitsuhide was the first to be eliminated.
This sinister woman walked alone several times, which made Yiyin very uncomfortable. Yiyin was reluctant to kill her, but he didn't dare to give her too much power, lest she would lead her into a ditch one day and make her unable to get up.
Nizi Shengjiu is a good candidate, but Nizi is a party in the mountains, and everything must be considered together.
Yamanaka Yukimori has already become the deacon of the Kanto Palace in Kanto. Now that the power of the Kanto Palace has greatly increased, she has also followed the rise.
Nizi Katsuhisa has been the acting official of Sibo in recent times. Yiyin must consider the balance of power and cannot give more power to Nizi's party in the mountain.
Although Takada Harano has made great achievements that surprised Yoshihiro several times, her shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, her business superiority and lack of military merit.
The Wu family group is, after all, a violent group.
No matter how powerful Takada Harano is in making money, Samurai Hime will not obey her. The samurai believe that the gun in their hand can be dismounted from the horse, and the new iron cannon is more popular than Takada Harano.
After all the calculations, only Maeda's interests are the most suitable.
The emotional entanglement also allowed Yiyin to trust her and trust her with military power in recent areas. As long as she still has Cao Yiyin's heart, Yiyin has no worries about her loyalty.
Thinking about it, Yi Gin subconsciously used her little finger to gently tickle the palm of Maeda's hand, making her feel itchy from the palm of her hand to her heart. Looking at Yoshi Gin's handsome face, she couldn't help but be fascinated and wet.
Although Maeda was fascinated by Yi Gin, he still did not dare to agree easily.
"Your Majesty, my background is too low, and it is really difficult for me to be qualified."
In recent times, the most important thing for samurai families, especially the shogunate samurai family, is family background.
Miyoshi Nagakei was born as the head of the Hosokawa clan. He wanted to control the shogunate in the name of the leader, but he was strongly opposed and despised by the samurai family of the shogunate.
The coalition forces that Yoshigan wanted to be commanded by Maeda's interests included top nobles from the third-in-command family, such as Hosokawa Hatakeyama, and countless descendants of other famous families. How could she not be frightened?
Maeda Yoshi's mother was a concubine of the Takikawa family, and her family was in poverty.
As soon as my mother died in the war, my father starved to death. If his adoptive mother, Toshihisa Maeda, hadn't stopped by to see the family of her old comrade, Maeda would have starved to death.
At that time, Oda Nobunaga wanted to replace Maeda Toshihisa with his own Maeda Toshiie. As the heir to the Maeda family, one of the reasons was that Maeda Toshihisa had no heirs and his adopted daughter Maeda had no interests at all.
Maeda Toshihisa was forced to abdicate, and Maeda's interests were equivalent to changing from a direct line of the Maeda family to a branch of the common line, and his status was reduced by one level.
The Takigawa family and the Maeda family are both natives of Owari. In recent years, the samurai family has been over the top. Even Oda Nobunaga was complained about being an Owari countryman, let alone a little bumpkin like Takigawa Maeda.
Maeda's interests are not even the direct descendants of the little bumpkin, they are just the common descendants of the separated families. How can they command the nobles of the shogunate?
If it was just him who was being humiliated, Maeda would not be afraid of the benefits. But she was afraid of living up to Yiyin's expectations, and even more afraid of embarrassing Yiyin and being humiliated.
Maeda thought about it and said again.
"I beg your Majesty to think twice."
Yiyin felt a little unhappy when he saw her cowardly look.
I have slept with you, so I feel sorry for you and will do everything possible to give you a chance to climb up. Instead, you pushed back and blocked me, wasting all my efforts.
If those stupid and famous families in the shogunate were reliable, Yoshihiro would certainly be willing to give them a chance. But they have neither ability nor loyalty, so Yoshigami can only use Maeda to benefit one of his own.
Seeing Maeda's interests hesitant and hesitant, Yoshihiro knew that good words and persuasion were useless, and to deal with this guy, he had to use provocation.
Yiyin pretended to be helpless and sighed.
"I thought you could take care of my worries, but now it seems that I didn't think well and put you in trouble.
In fact, this war is not difficult to fight. Akechi Mitsuhide contacted all parties in Kyoto, suppressed the general, and brought the Tanba people and Settsu people over.
Takada Haruno also made great achievements in Sakai Port. On the one hand, he received the support of Ishiyama Honganji Temple and hired Zaga Zhong and Nelai Zhong. On the other hand, he persuaded Miyoshi Yasunaga and Azaya Fuyuyasu to join him.
Both of them have done very well. Since you are not willing to be the general, I can't force you. I will take charge of the overall situation, and you will be the vanguard.
Don't worry too much about the war. The war may be over before you reach the enemy's formation. "
Maeda's eyes widened. These messages were the latest information that Yiyin got along the way, so naturally she didn't know.
Unknowingly, these rivals have been involved in this?
Thinking of this, Maeda couldn't help but panic.
She was the military commander of the Sibo Territory in recent times, and she knew the current situation of the war best. If it is true as your Majesty said, the Sanhao family may be about to collapse as soon as this war begins. Then what does she have to do?
After waiting for two years, I finally got an opportunity to go into battle and make meritorious deeds. But before he could take action, his beard was cut off by Akechi Mitsuhide and Takada Harano. How could this be possible?
Maeda Yoshida couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Yoshigan looking at him with a smile.
She knew that this might be the emperor's way of provoking the general, but the anger in her heart surged up and she couldn't suppress it.
At this time, Maeda would not worry about his humble background and worry about the disobedience of those famous families in recent years.
Thinking about it, I have even slept with immortal figures like Shiba Yiyin twice. Those useless descendants of famous families are nothing! Why should they be worried? Have they ever slept with Shiba Yiyin?
Maeda gritted his teeth and now wanted to be the general of the anti-Three Good Alliance forces.
But she just rejected Yiyin, so she couldn't ask for it again, so she could only look at Yiyin with a look of begging for mercy.
Yiyin chuckled when he saw her surrendering, pitifully like a domestic dog about to be abandoned by its owner.
"What? Have you figured it out?"
Maeda had no time to worry about his face at the moment, so he nodded quickly.
"I have figured it out, I have figured it out. I am willing to share your worries with you."
Yiyin saw that her face was turning red, looking pitiful as she was embarrassed and afraid of missing out on a good opportunity, so he couldn't help but stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead.
"You, I really don't know what to say about you."
Being a little angry by Yoshiyin's intimate movements, Maeda lowered his head and whispered softly.
"I don't want to lose."
Yiyin was stunned for a moment, then tapped her forehead lightly and said softly.
"fool.
You have guarded the border for me for the past few years, and I understand in my heart that it is not easy for you.
Don't worry, since I said I would help you become the general of the anti-Three Goods coalition, I will naturally help you get out of trouble and won't make it difficult for you.
You, as long as you are a good military commander, you will be fine. "
Yoshigami's soft words passed through his ears, causing a warm current of courage to rise in Maeda's heart, and he blurted out a sentence without thinking.
"If you do a good job, is there any reward?"
Yoshigami was stunned, and Maeda Maeda finally realized that his words were too ambiguous, and he waved his hand quickly.
"That's not what I meant, no."
Yiyin looked at Maeda's blushing pretty face and glanced at her curvy figure. He suddenly felt a desire and moved his index finger.
He looked at the Spocky warriors guarding them in the distance, lowered his head and spoke in Maeda's ear.
"Come to the castle tower tonight and talk to me."
Maeda's body froze, and she clearly felt that Yiyin blew air on her ear holes, and when he left, he lightly touched the corner of her mouth with his lips, which seemed like a kiss but not a kiss.
But because Yoshigan deliberately avoided the sight of Samurai Hime in the distance and hid on the other side of Maeda's body, others could not see Yoshigan's small movements.
For a moment, Maeda Yoshi's breathing became a little heavier.
"Your Majesty has an order, and your servants must accompany you."
