Storytelling, singing and opera are all about persuading people. The three avenues are in the middle. Life is full of grass every day, and the sun and the moon are flying every year.
After all, outside the door was the Tongxinji warrior standing solemnly, carefully guarding the male god in their hearts. The time and place were not suitable.
After that, Akechi Mitsuhide rushed to the north of Hanoi to make diplomatic efforts for the Shiba family's strategy.
A massive anti-Sanhao siege broke the backbone of the Mihaoshi family in just one battle. Onlookers not only lamented the rapid decline of the Mihaoshi family, but also were in awe of the strength of the Spo family.
This battle seems to be the fierce battle of Maeda's interests at Jiuboji Temple, but in fact, behind the scenes is the efforts of the entire Shiba Group.
The authorization of the Kyoto shogunate, Araki Murashige's rebellion, Hatano Hideharu's response, Miyoshi Yasunaga and Anzhai Nobuyasu's actions, and the support of the Ichibuki sect and the Shingon sect.
The central shogunate, local samurai families, and sectarian forces all chose to side with the Shiba family. This led to the rapid defeat of Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, which reflected the solid foundation of Yoshigan's painstaking efforts for many years.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's invasion also gave Yoshigan the opportunity to further integrate the powerful local factions in the shogunate and prepare for the political situation after the decline and collapse of the shogunate center.
Therefore, Yoshigami not only does not hate Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, but actually sympathizes with her. If it hadn't been for the trouble of her coming to land, the Shiba family would have no excuse to tighten the ropes around their allies.
Under the planning of Akechi Mitsuhide, Yiyin promoted its strategy in an orderly manner. The two of them had such a tacit understanding that they did not mention the future of the Ashikaga Shogunate, because they both knew it in their hearts.
The Ashikaga Shogunate has no future, and the future will be created by the winner between the Oda family and the Shiba family.

Nagahara, south of Jiuboji Temple, not far from the Yamato River, is the key battlefield for the student army to break through from the southern front.
It was here that the Western Expedition student army, using long and short weapons and simple equipment, fought to the death with the elite Awa soldiers of Shinohara Nagafusa's troops who hurriedly arrived, establishing the victory of the Jiubouji battle.
Yuya Kito looked at the densely packed graves on the hill in front of him. More than a hundred Kanto Princess warriors from the student army were buried on this land just as they had sworn before.
There are more than a hundred surviving international students below Yua Guitou. They stand here uniformly to bid farewell to their dead classmates.
A nun invited from a nearby temple was reciting the Purana Sutra. A war horse galloped in the distance. On the horse was a high-spirited Mikami Momo in a blue kimono, which was a bit eye-catching in this occasion.
Mikami Momo jumped off the horse, bowed deeply in the direction of the grave, and then said to Kito Yua.
"Lord Akechi Mitsuhide is here, and she has brought the gift of Tsutado-den."
Kito Yua interrupted Mikami Momo's excited words and said.
"You're late. We agreed to see them off together. How could you be late?"
Mikami Momo glanced at the foreign students behind her in embarrassment. In front of them, who were as solemn as sculptures, her excitement seemed very inappropriate.
Pursing her lips, Mikami Momo bowed.
"Just as I was about to come over, the envoy from the Chinese Army came to send a message, saying that he had something important to ask me to go immediately. Because I didn't know what happened, I went over there first.
I'm late, I'm very sorry. "
Kito Yua glanced at the blue kimono on Mikami Momo. It was bought for them by more than two hundred international students who pooled their money to wear when they visited Tsutama Hall.
If Mikami Momona didn't know what was going on, how could she be cautious enough to wear such ceremonial clothes?
Looking at Mikami Momo's slightly pleading eyes, Kito Yua didn't want to expose his friend's little thoughts anymore, so he just nodded and asked.
"Have you paid a visit to Akechi Mitsuhide?"
Mikami Momona breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Kito Yua didn't continue to pursue the case, and then couldn't help but get excited again.
"Yes, Tsudo-don very much appreciates the performance of the student army in this battle, and Mr. Akechi Mitsuhide personally came to announce our reward.
Gitouji, the Wujia Revival Association has been accepted by Jindo Hall and has become a subordinate organization of the Wujia Yili Promotion Association. You and I will become the first president and vice president and participate in the management of the association. "
Mikami Momo's excitement was not without reason.
The Wu Family Renaissance Association was originally a spontaneous organization of foreign students.
Weaving, it is a great blessing to have the approval and support of Jinduo Hall.
Unexpectedly, this battle would be tragic. More than half of the student soldiers sacrificed their lives and made great achievements, which alarmed Tsudoden and made him look at foreign students even more differently.
The Samurai Revival Association is included in the formal organization of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association. As the president and vice-presidents, Mikami Momo and Kito Yua can participate in Kanto government affairs as representatives of young girls.
The Wu Family Giri Promotion Association is an important department of the Kanto Shisho in providing economic assistance to the Kanto Plain. It not only holds a large amount of economic resources, but also has cooperative relationships with other institutions.
For example, I can communicate with the United Front, local people, and fraternities on the political platform of the Wushu Association, and I can also speak at the Grand Council and the Standing Council.
For Mikami Momo and Kito Yua, who were born as waiters at the bottom of the village, this time they really reached the sky in one step. The social hierarchy of the samurai family is strict, and it is very difficult for the warriors at the bottom to climb up.
They broke through the ceiling at a young age and entered the highest political circle in Kanto. This blessing was not just like the smoke coming out of their ancestral graves, it was like their ancestral graves exploding.
Compared to Mikami Momo's excitement, Kito Yua's reaction seemed indifferent, she asked.
"What about the dead sisters? What was their reward?"
Mikami Momo was a little ashamed and subconsciously glanced at the international students behind her.
She was patronizing and happy, and with this look on her face, to outsiders, she wondered if she would be regarded as a villain who climbed up over the corpses of her classmates. This would not be a good impression for others.
Mikami Momo quickly made up for it.
"All the sisters who died in the battle received the Shiba establishment. Tsudo-den specially instructed the Tongxin Secretariat to handle it first, and Kanto Shiba received the follow-up pension.
Their establishment will be inherited by the sisters at home, and their parents are eligible to move to the Kanto Spur Territory. Their sacrifices have not been in vain.
And you, my classmates, will also receive corresponding rewards and become senior cadres of the Wu Family Revival Association! "
Mikami Momo announced to the students loudly, as passionately and powerfully as her previous speeches, which attracted bursts of cheers from the students.
"The Tsudo Hall is on board! The Wu family revival meeting is on board!"
Watching Mikami Momo's generous speech, Kito Yua lost her previous excitement. She seemed to be the calmest person in the room. She silently walked to the grave, knelt on the ground and grabbed a handful of soil.
Mikami Momo had actually been paying attention to her secretly. At this time, she came over, knelt beside her, and asked in a low voice.
"Guitou Ji, are you unhappy?"
The two were far away from the queue, and in the noisy environment, others could not hear their conversation clearly.
Ghost Head Yua sighed.
"Before the war started, you said that our ancestors were watching us. Where we fell, lotus roots sprouted and emerged from the mud without being stained.
Now, they are dead, but we are still alive, enjoying the glory gained by their lives, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. "
Mikami Momo said.
"I will ask the local martial arts family to help plant lotus flowers here and take care of them. We will come again in the future to visit them and the lotus flowers.
Ji Touji, although the Wu Family Revival Association has become a subordinate organization of the Wu Family Ethics Promotion Association, our future is still very difficult.
Your and my names have come into the eyes of Tsudo Hall, and we must unite even more in the future.
We must inherit their legacy and continue to forge ahead with their ideals. What we pursue is not power, but the ideal of the revival of the Wu family.
I need your help, please. "
Despite Mikami Momo's eloquent words, Kito Yua didn't know why, but his mind was particularly clear today.
Perhaps it was because he saw Mikami Momo's face twisted with excitement because of the generous reward. It was an expression Kito Yua had never seen on her face before.
But Mikami Momona really hopes to get the support of Yuya Kito, because the two of them are valued by Tsutado Hall. If she wants to continue to make progress in the future, Yua Kito's help is indispensable.
So Mikami Momo has been using words to encourage Yuya Kito, hoping that she can help her as always and reach new heights.
Ghost Head Yuya knelt for a long time, stood up, and threw the handful of soil in his hand into the air.
She turned to Mikami Momo and said solemnly.
"Mikami Hime, I will help you
Let's help you realize the ideal of rejuvenating the Wu family and change this decadent and fallen world.
But please remember, if one day I find that you have changed and you become like those selfish and shameless high-level martial artists, I will definitely kill you.
You are the best Ji warrior among us. Your classmates believe in you, follow you and regard you as their idol. Don't let down everyone's expectations of you, don't let down these dead classmates.
Otherwise, only one person will survive between you and me. "
Mikami Momo nodded seriously and said.
"I will never betray our ideals, otherwise let me die by your sword."
Ghost Head Yua laughed, her expression relaxed, and returned to her usual carelessness.
"That's not necessarily true. Idol, your martial arts skills are better than mine. Maybe the person who died was not Mikami but Kito."
Mikami Momo followed and laughed.
"Haha, the dead Guitou, the living Mikami. By then, I will no longer be an idol, I can only fall into the sea and fall."
Two young Ji warriors spoke in front of the graves of their comrades, which seemed like a joke, but seemed to be an oath witnessed by ghosts and gods.
The youthful and determined people in blue, the energetic Renaissance Association, and the girls with ideals. Will they become part of the decadent ruling class in the future?
No matter what the future holds, they are as pure as white paper and will soon enter the dark quagmire of Wu family politics to write their own page.
———
Mikami Momo and Kito Yua made vows in front of their graves, but in the eyes of the real superiors, the international students in the Blue Clothes Revival Association are just a group of small characters who are not qualified to be on the stage.
Akechi Mitsuhide just conveyed the reward of Shiba Yoshigan to Mikami Momo, and then he left the group of little girls in blue behind, and held a one-day review meeting seriously with Maeda Yoshiko and other important internal and external ministers.
In the middle of the night, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide sat drinking in front of the Hosokawa Army's main formation.
Hosokawa Fujitaka took a sip of the sake in the glass and looked at Akechi Mitsuhide without making a sound. To this day, she is still in a daze.
Did you just sleep with Shiba Yiyin? Or is it because Mitsuhide Akechi personally arranged it and gave her beloved master to him to destroy? Is he crazy? Or has the world gone crazy?
Hosokawa Fujitaka shook his head subconsciously, and Akechi Mitsuhide asked with concern.
"Fujitaka is too drunk?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka said with a wry smile.
"My drinking capacity is not that bad. I just feel that I am increasingly unable to understand the world."
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka carefully and saw a trace of confusion in her eyes, and immediately understood what she was thinking.
The war was urgent a few days ago, and the two of them had been discussing the priorities before and after the war. After that, Hosokawa Fujitaka rushed to the front line of Hanoi country and had no time to consider the personal relationship between his children.
At this time, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was in a desperate situation and the war was no longer important. Only then did Hosokawa Fujitaka have time to deal with emotional matters.
Akechi Mitsuhide knew that she had to untie the knot in Hosokawa Fujitaka's heart, but she could not deceive Hosokawa Fujitaka by misleading Shiba Shigeomi about the marriage dispute.
Because Hosokawa Fujitaka was Mitsuhide Akechi's own pimp for Shiba Yoshigan, it was impossible for Hosokawa Fujitaka to believe the reason for the marriage dispute.
If it was a competition for marriage, then how should we explain the fact that Akechi Mitsuhide got his future husband Shiba Yoshigan drunk and allowed Hosokawa Fujitaka to ruin her? Wife's meal before dinner?
Therefore, Akechi Mitsuhide had to tell a little truth, set off a corner of the plan of occupying the magpie's nest, and let Hosokawa Fujitaka get a glimpse of the truth.
Akechi Mitsuhide put down his wine glass and said solemnly.
"Futaka, do you think it is possible for Tsutado-den to return to secular life?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't know why Akechi Mitsuhide mentioned this, he frowned and thought for a while before answering.
"Tsudaden became a monk because he was forced by the shogun to give up the title of Odaisho, indicating that he was leaving the Ashikaga shogun's family and voluntarily giving up his status as a direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi.
Now, the Ashikaga shogun family is in decline, and the shogunate has turned to Tsutaden for help. If he wants to return to secular life, it will not be a big problem. "
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.
“I don’t think so.
Ever since Junshang witnessed a miracle at Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace and was given a royal white flag by Hachiman Tai Ni, the Kanto samurai family has regarded Junshang as the patron saint of the samurai family.
After the siege of Mount Hiei, Master Kakushu of the Tendai Sect has been trying his best to promote that the Lord is the incarnation of Bishamonten and the patron saint of Buddhism.
Coupled with several coincidences in the early years, there have been rumors in the martial arts family recently that the emperor is invulnerable to water and fire, can control wind and rain, and is the chosen one.
Fujitaka, have you noticed that except for women like you and me who are obsessed with you, in the eyes of ordinary people, you are no longer a person, but a god walking in the world.
Now, even the traditional Ji warriors who value girls over boys are in awe of this man from the bottom of their hearts. Because in their hearts, Your Majesty is not a man, but a male god. "
Hosokawa Fujitaka was a little dazed when she heard this. She recalled Shiba Yoshigan's wild and self-destructive behavior that night, and she thought of the endless pressure brought on him by the martial arts in the world who overestimated him, and sighed.
"But he's just a man after all."
