As soon as the chaos in Kanto started, he was crushed by three letters from Shiba Yigen.
Shiba Yiyin has been operating in Kanto for five years, and his efforts to use the connection of interests to win over the Kanbazhou samurai family into the Kanto Palace finally showed great results at this time.
The two giants in Kanto, Uesugi Hojo, were unwilling to offend Yoshihiro Shiba, and the Kanto Secretariat did not have the courage to cause trouble, so Takeda's conquest could only cease.
This time Shiba Yiyin acted with ease and suppressed the chaos with ease. The martial arts family in the world were dumbfounded and were even more in awe of Shiba Yiyin.
Ashikaga Yoshiji, the Kanto shogun of the Kamakura Ashikaga family, has become such a transparent person that he is so embarrassed that he can hardly keep his value as a puppet.
The majesty of Kanto photographed by Shiba Yoshiyin quickly returned to calm.
But in recent times, there are still people who don't believe in evil, but they like to meet men the most. The stormy waves caused by Takeda Rena's stone throw will not be so easy to calm down.
After learning from Akechi Mitsuhide that Yoshigage Shiba was determined to fall out with him because of a bastard, Oda Nobunaga was angry and aroused his desire to conquer.
After Ashikaga Yoshiaki languished, Oda Nobunaga, who had already trampled the Kyoto shogunate under his feet and was preparing for Oda Gongyi, seemed eager to give it a try when facing Yoshigan Shiba's Kamiro.
The battle between Shiba and Oda is inevitable. Oda Nobunaga is full of joy and looks forward to winning a battle that attracts the attention of the world and conquering Yoshigan Shiba, the most beautiful woman in the world, and even the whole world in one fell swoop.
Akechi Mitsuhide, who came to the house with the body of Takahashi Toromatsu, not only survived, but was also relieved by Oda Nobunaga.
Obviously, Oda Nobunaga did not give up his ambition to join forces with Genpei and marry Yoshigan Shiba.
Even after Akechi Mitsuhide came out of Azuchi Castle alive, he did not immediately return to Kyoto to wait for Fujibayashi Muku's intelligence summary.
Instead, she walked along the east bank of the Minami Omi River to find the slow oxcart team of Nobo-kun and Ichi-kun, and to connect with her cheap cousin. She didn't know what kind of evil was brewing in her heart.
Yoshigan Shiba was originally from Owari, and the Shiba family and the Oda family had formed inextricable personal connections and entangled interests over the years.
The two masters decided to flip the table and start filming, which immediately triggered a series of chain reactions.
Unlike Mitsuhide Akechi, a diplomat who jumped left and right, Shiba Oda broke up, and many people lost real money and even lives in the territory.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ripples gradually spread from the core Yoshigan Shiba and Oda Nobunaga to the outside world, with far-reaching influence.
———
The county of Mino Country is the upper part of the county, and the county is the upper part of Hachiman Castle.
This place was originally the territory of the Endo family. After Oda Nobunaga conquered Mino Country, she dumped Maeda Toshiie, a nuisance who followed Shiba Yoshigan wholeheartedly, here.
Owari Province and Mino Province share the Noo Plain, which is one of the most fertile lands in the world. Coupled with the maritime fishery of Ise Bay, Oda Nobunaga's family has a rich family background and can be said to be the richest in the world.
But these land wealth have nothing to do with Meinong County.
Gujo County is located in the mountainous area to the north of the Nobi Plains. The plains to the south are beyond reach, the Hida Highlands are to the northeast, and the Ryohaku Mountains are to the northwest.
Junshang County, which is sandwiched between two mountain ranges, is a barren land that even the martial arts family of Meinong looks down upon. The life of the mountain people is very poor.
Maeda Toshiie was thrown into this corner, which was Oda Nobunaga's punishment for her.
Maeda Toshiie, who refused to give up the leadership of Owari Shiba, secretly informed Yoshigan Shiba of Kanto and rushed back to Konki when Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga were plotting Shangluo.
This time, Yoshigan Shiba took the dominant position in Ashirisbo Oda Kamiro, but Maeda Toshiie's trump card in the Cao camp and his heart in Han was also completely exposed to Oda Nobunaga.
If it weren't for his relationship with Shiba Yoshigan, Oda Nobunaga would have severely punished Maeda Toshiie. But even if Oda Nobunaga is inconvenient to do it, the soft knife is enough to make Owari Shiba lead suffer.
The Owari Shiba Territory claims to have 20,000 koku from Gunjo County, but in fact the most valuable piece is the Gunjo Hachiman piece.
Gujo Hachiman is located south of the Hida Highlands, along the Nagara River and its tributaries that run through the mountains, and is a valley where some fields can be planted.
The core of this territory is Hachiman Castle in the county and Hachiman Town below the castle.
At this time, in the meeting hall of the governor's Hachiman Castle, the Maeda retainers group looked gloomy and gloomy.
If the Shiba and Oda families want to go to war, the most difficult samurai group to fight is the Owari Shiba Territory, which is trapped in the Oda territory.
Although Gujo County is barren, the mountainous area is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Breaking through to the south is the Noubi Plain, the core of the Oda family, and its strategic position is very important.
If Oda Nobunaga wants to compete with Shiba Yoshigan, how can he allow his heart to be stabbed by Maeda Toshiie's knife.
There were two letters placed on the case in front of Maeda Toshiie.
One letter was that Shiba Yoshigan promised her that if Owari Shiba was in trouble, he could surrender to the Oda family and she would not be blamed.
One letter was from Oda Nobunaga asking her to go to Azuchi Castle to obey the order. Owari Shiba led all the checkpoints to be released, and Oda's military force took over the defense.
These two letters pushed Owari Shiba to the forefront, becoming the first subordinate force forced to take sides in the confrontation between Shiba and Oda.
So Maeda Toshiie held this review, and a decision will be made today on what direction Owari Shiba will take.
She remained calm in her seat, watching the concubines sitting there chatting and expressing their opinions.
The village chief, Lai, who was sitting next to him, had been sitting for a long time and his body was a little stiff. She glanced at Maeda Toshiie who was sitting in the seat with his eyes closed, as if he was listening to the debate between the girls, but in fact the result was obvious.
Because the Owari Shiba Territory had given up on Yoshigan Shiba very early, and was caught in the political ambiguity of the Shiba Oda family, it can also be said to be an independent kingdom that was conquered by the Maeda Toshi family.
Murai Nagai was the first retainer of Maeda Toshiie, and she was very aware of Maeda Toshiie's feelings for Shiba Yigen.
Back then in Kiyosu Castle, Maeda Toshiie was angry and killed Shiba Yoshigan. He killed Oda Nobunaga's favorite, Aichi Juami, with one knife. Murai Nagai Yori once begged before Shiba Yoshigan.
At that time, Yoshigan Shiba was just a small role among the people from the country outside the Oda family.
Also in order to exonerate Maeda Toshiie, Yoshigan Saba made a deal with Oda Nobunaga, and went to Kamiro to ask for the position of guardian of Owari on behalf of Oda Nobunaga. This was how the world-famous Sinazudo-den came into existence.
The head of the village, Yori, knows that Shiba Yoshigage will always be the white moonlight in Maeda Toshiie's heart, a life-long desire that he will never forget or give up.
If Maeda Toshiie was willing to bow his head, he would have surrendered to Oda Nobunaga long ago and made great achievements, instead of suffering in the ravines of Gunjo County.
What determines Owari Shiba's future comments? Nonsense! The future of Owari Shiba has been clearly arranged in Maeda Toshiie's heart.
The head of the village, Nori, glanced at the retainers who spoke for the Oda family, with a little pity in his eyes.
Today's review is just to unify our thoughts. I hope these fools can wake up soon, otherwise the lives of the whole family will not be saved.
The powerful retainers expressed their opinions, and when those who should speak had almost expressed their opinions, Maeda Toshiie opened his eyes and looked at Murai Nagai and asked.
"Murai-hime, you're a little quiet today. What do you think of these two letters?"
Village chief Lai smiled, knowing it was her turn to take sides, she said.
"Jinyi Tsuta-dono, His Majesty Oda's request is a bit too much."
Maeda Toshiie asked.
"Oh? How can you see it?"
Village chief Lai Suran said.
"The Owari Shiba Territory started from the Owari Kingdom's Shiba ancestral land. Kashimura's 1,500 koku is the hereditary guardian of the Owari Shiba clan. His Highness Oda has no right to interfere.
Although the 20,000 stone in Gunjo County was granted by His Highness Oda, it was a territory obtained by Owari Shiba leader in exchange for military merit as an allied force in the war.
What reason does His Highness Oda have for requesting that the Shiba family's territory be opened up to the pass and that the Oda family take over the defense?
Even if Shiba Oda goes to war, the Oda army should come to attack. I, Owari Shiba, will have an opinion on whether to fight or surrender.
But now, before the two families have declared war, His Highness Oda is ordering you to go to Azuchi Castle to obey orders, and to take over the Owari Shiba Territory Pass, which is too much.
Jinduodian is benevolent and righteous, know it
Owari Shiba's strength was weak, allowing us to surrender.
But while we are eating the hard-core crops of the Sibo family, if we bow our heads and admit defeat before the war begins, how can we have any face in the world in the future.
After we surrender, can His Majesty Oda provide us with the establishment of the Shiba family, the benefits of the Shiba Tadashi Fund, and the privileges of the Hokuriku Road trade route? "
Murai Nagai's position is firm and his reasoning is right.
The Shiba and Oda families haven't started a war yet. Oda Nobunaga ordered Owari Shiba to lead like his grandson, and he didn't have any respect for the local samurai group.
If Owari Shiba is so cowardly and determined to be looked down upon by outsiders, even if he can pass today's test, will he still have a good life in the future?
Moreover, Maeda Toshiie's efforts over the past few years to tie Owari Shiba's collar to the Shiba family's chariot have already had results.
The annuity of Shibachu Fund has covered Owari Shiba collar. This benefit that the world calls hardcore crops makes all the martial arts families in the world envious and jealous.
Owari Shiba's collar is not big, only more than 20,000 koku, but there are many Shiba establishments under Maeda Toshiie's command. It is all the favor that Maeda Toshiie obtained from Shiba Yoshigan.
If the Owari Shiba leader surrenders, will these Shiba establishments still count? In the future, if the Shiba and Oda families cease war, will the Maeda retainers be able to ask the Shiba family to continue to recognize their organization with a face?
Shiba Yiyin is generous, but the Kamao clan of the Tongxin Secretariat cannot tolerate sand in his eyes and cannot let go. Could it be that the Sibo establishment that everyone had finally obtained was just given up in vain?
That's a six-stone-a-year food stamp, a hardcore crop that guarantees harvest despite droughts and floods. Who is willing to give up until the last moment!
In addition, Shiba Yoshigan allowed Owari Shiba to obtain a share of the Hokuriku Road trade route from Echizen Kingdom through the Ryobai Mountains.
In addition, Maeda Toshiie made large profits through native methods of making saltpeter, transporting saltpeter to China for trade, and earned huge profits through the Hokuriku Road trade route.
The samurai families led by Owari Shiba were able to live happily in the poor valleys of Gujo County, and they could not do without the Hokuriku Road trade route managed by the Shiba family.
If Owari Shiba surrenders, can these benefits be preserved?
Shiba Yoshigan may not care, but Takada Haruno and Ohuma Asahide at both ends of the Hokuriku Road trade route are black-hearted followers who eat people without spitting out their bones.
Once the Owari Shiba leader surrenders to the Oda family, it will be equivalent to losing the title of Shiba leader. This group of mountain warriors are considered inferior among the major forces on the Hokuriku Road trade route. What qualifications do they have to get a share of the pie?
Murai Nagai put it cleverly.
Oda Nobunaga's attitude in this letter was arrogant. He was holding a knife and threatening everyone to surrender. He had no intention of appeasing everyone and winning over everyone with some benefits.
In this case, why did Owari Shiba leader surrender? Just to suffer poverty and hunger with the Oda family?
she said again.
"Jinyi Tsutama allowed Owari Shiba to surrender to the Oda family. But why should we surrender? What can Oda-sama give us?
If we take refuge with the Oda family, the best outcome for us is to live in poverty. But by supporting Tsudoden, we will be the heroes after the Shiba family wins!
Lord, I don’t want my descendants to have to work hard in the mountains for food. I hope that my descendants can inherit my Si Bo family, and I hope that they can continue to live the wealthy life of the Si Bo family!
My village chief** is a Shiba dog, not an Oda person! "
Maeda Toshiie was very, very satisfied with Murai Nagai's words.
Murai Nagai repeatedly emphasizes Shiba Yiyin's benevolence and justice. Is this because the samurai family advocates justice? Nonsense, the principles of the Wu family are all on the lips, and whoever takes it seriously will be fooled.
What she means is that Sibo Yiyin is generous and never defaults on his debt!
The poor people in the mountains of Gunshang County will have to live in poverty with the Oda family for the rest of their lives. If they want to have enough food and drink to make a fortune, they have to hang out with Shiba Yiyin!
This is the result of Sibo Yiyin's insistence on carrying out the Sibo New Life Movement in the three places of Sibo. It is so exciting to be the Sibo family's dog!
Especially the indigenous mountain samurai in Gunjo County. Maeda Toshiie conquered the hearts of the local samurai just a few years after arriving. Is it because of giri? It's copper coins! It's food! It's a better life!
The indigenous mountain people here are afraid of poverty, just like the Koshin Mountain Samurai family under Sanada Nobunaga. They are not afraid of death at all, they are afraid that their lives will not be sold at a good price.
Murai Nagai's words were too much to their liking.
Oda Nobunaga threatened them with a butcher's knife, saying that as long as they obeyed, they would be spared their lives. What the hell! Is this the life I need?
Think about another option. If Owari Shiba leader loyally stands with the Shiba family, even if he fights the Kohime samurai in the end and the territory is smashed to pieces, he will still be a loyal minister of the Shiba family!
With Sibo Yiyin's benevolence and righteousness, the heirs of the local martial arts family will definitely have a better future. As for this rotten land in the mountains, it will be rotten if it is beaten to pieces. It is already so poor, how can it get worse?
Everyone is not stupid and can settle this account. Who is still willing to take refuge in Oda Nobunaga? He must be Spo Yiyin’s loyal dog!
After Murai Nagai finished speaking, he bowed and sat back in his seat. The other retainers were impatient and stood up one after another to express their stance again, each one louder than the other.
They had just escaped from the fear of Oda Nobunaga holding the butcher knife high, and now they were afraid that the Maeda Toshiie would make a wrong choice and really surrender to the Oda family.
Regardless of whether they supported Shiba or Oda's Hime warriors before, they all now became die-hard loyalists of the Shiba family and vowed to shed the last drop of their blood for the Shiba family.
Maeda Toshiie glanced at the village chief Yori who was sitting respectfully, smiled slightly, and finally expressed his stance.
"I already understand what everyone means.
Owari Shiba Territory is the territory of the Shiba family. His Highness Oda has used force to coerce and made unacceptable demands. We will never let him control us!
We are born as Shiba people and die as Shiba ghosts. If the Oda family wants to invade the Shiba family's territory, we will fight to the last soldier!
In addition, I will write a letter to Tsutama Hall to explain our loyalty to the death, and all the families, husbands and children will also be moved from the Hokuriku Road trade route to a safe area to avoid worries.
I will ask your Majesty to protect you and other heirs, and prevent loyal ministers from bleeding and crying. "
Maeda Toshiie's assurance wiped away Zhuki's last bit of hesitation. Looking around, all the ladies present had relieved smiles on their faces, and their eyes shone with excitement.
At this time, Maeda Toshiie's heart was not as calm as her appearance showed.
Rena Takeda. . It turns out that Junshang already has a child. If Takeda Shingen can do it, why can't I?
Maeda Toshiie is full of enthusiasm. She must achieve great achievements in this war, and then use this achievement to exchange for a seed of her own.
What should she and Junshang's child be called? Just thinking about it made her feel so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
