Mitsuhide Akechi and Fujitaka Hosokawa talked in secret all night, and finally asked Fujibayashi to rush to Echizen Country to send two letters, one to Yukimori Yamanaka, and the other to Shima Katsuki.
Then, Akechi Mitsuhide once again embarked on the road of negotiation with the Oda family, as if the shit that exploded behind her had nothing to do with her.
Asking you how much sorrow you can have is like a river of spring water flowing eastward.
The war has come to an end, and before Shiba Yoshigan starts to worry about the reward, Akechi Mitsuhide has already made preparations to unite the divine family to fight against the imaginary enemy.
Externally, resist the danger that Oda Nobunaga may give birth to divine descendants. Internally, be wary of Takeda and Uesugi's two powerful feudal lords who first acquired the divine descendants from causing trouble.
On a small scale, refusing the reward in order to respect the gods helped Yiyin get out of the trouble of the land reward after the war.
Speaking more broadly, uniting the Ji warriors who love Siwa Yiyin will help form a common consciousness among the divine samurai group, and serve as an exercise for the future distribution of interests within Siwa.
For Takeda Uesugi in Kanto, Mitsuhide Akechi was beyond his reach. Akechi Mitsuhide was also worried about the powerful Oda Nobunaga.
In order to complete the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest, Akechi Mitsuhide must unite all the powerful samurai families inside and outside the Shiba family who love Shiba Yoshigan to fight against powerful feudal lords such as Oda, Takeda, and Uesugi.
Occupying the magpie's nest cannot become a game played by these powerful feudal lords to engulf Sibo's family property. Sibo Yiyin's chastity at the expense of the family property cannot be in vain to take advantage of these greedy beasts.
Akechi Mitsuhide personally pushed the man he loved into the abyss. Naturally, he could not allow anyone to take away the fruits that Yoshigan Shiba had gained with his own happiness in his life.
———
At this time, Yoshigan Shiba did not know about Akechi Mitsuhide's secret connection. Yukimori, who was far away in the mountains of Echizen Country, was also hesitant about the sudden letter from Akechi Mitsuhide.
After the Battle of Yuwu Lake, the Shiba and Oda families have essentially entered a truce period.
After Akechi Mitsuhide and Niwa Nagahide sent envoys to each other, although the negotiations had not officially begun, all fronts were already consciously disengaging.
Both the enemy and ourselves on all fronts are paying attention to the negotiation process between the two masters of Kitaomi. At this time, no one is willing to fight anymore, and there is no need to continue to lose strength.
The Echizen Kingdom's front line has stabilized. Shibata Katsuie's three defense lines were stabbed hard by the Kanto Allied Forces, directly knocking over the first river bank defense line.
But after that, Shibata Katsuie personally defended Beizhuang City, and even if the surrounding small towns were torn out one by one, he remained firmly in place and refused to retreat.
From the beginning, the Kwantung Allied Forces became hesitant.
Yamanaka Yukimori is not Shiba Yoshigan, and her prestige is not enough to allow these Kanto Princess warriors belonging to various families to endure huge casualties and forcefully conquer Beizhuang City.
At this time, the military news of the Yuwu Lake battle came. Yoshigan Shiba defeated Oda Nobunaga, and the two sides began to contact and negotiate. The two sides in Shibata Mountain also lost the idea of continuing to fight hard.
Yamanaka Yukimori did not expect that what he was waiting for was a private message from Akechi Mitsuhide before the order came from his Majesty. While she was still hesitating, Dao Shengmeng rushed back.
In the mountain main formation, the two generals of the Kwantung Allied Forces were sitting on the left and right.
Yamanaka Yukimori asked, looking at Shima Shengmeng's dusty face.
"Shimahime, why are you back? Is the war in Mino Country going well?"
Shima Shengmeng didn't waste any words, took out a letter and said.
"I'm just harassing the flanks in Simeon. Inaba Yoshimitsu is guarding the northern city. I can't attack with my few men.
Now that the war has stopped, this is why I came back quickly. Akechi Mitsuhide has also written to you, right? "
Yamanaka Yukimori looked at the letter that Shima Shengmeng took out, and also took out one, pretending to be relaxed.
"It turns out you also have one, Mitsuhide Akechi... Haha."
Shima Katsu stared fiercely at Yamanaka Yukimori and asked.
"Akechi Mitsuhide has an estranged relationship with you and me. We have nothing to say privately. It's just business. I think the contents of the two letters are similar.
What do you think of her words? "
Yamanaka Yukimori was a little confused as to why Shima Katsuki took Mitsuhide Akechi’s letter so seriously, and even rushed back to Echizen Country to discuss the matter with him.
"The Akechi-Hosokawa family wanted to give up the reward, and Mitsuhide Akechi was worried that Maeda's interests would play a role in making her take the blame, so he wanted to instigate you and me to follow up, forcing Maeda's interests to agree.
Reward from the public is the cornerstone of the Wu family, and Mingzhi Guangxiu's idea is a bit wild. She gave up the reward and asked others to give up too. What kind of logic does this make?
Although the outcome of this battle is not yet clear, the Shiba family seems to have the upper hand. Akechi Mitsuhide was entangled in the reward issue before the negotiation, and it seems that he has no confidence in the negotiation.
She was afraid that she would not be able to force His Highness Oda to make too many concessions, and would not be able to get any land, which would impair the king's ability to reward him, so she used her crooked brains to encourage everyone to give up the reward.
I don’t know what those people think these days, but the Kanto people are not easy to deal with. If I follow Mitsuhide Akechi's wishes, I'm afraid the Kwantung Allied Forces will be dissatisfied with me.
However, Akechi Mitsuhide pressured me in the name of considering your Majesty, so I couldn't refuse openly. Shimahime, you're here too, why don't you tell me what to do? "
Shima Katsuo watched Yukimori Yamanaka ridiculing Mitsuhide Akechi, and sneered in his heart.
Yamanaka Yukimori is a mediocre person. This is the consensus among the important officials of the Shiba family. Shima Shengmeng was also worried that Yamanaka Yukimori wouldn't understand the seriousness of the matter, so he hurried over, lest she make a wrong judgment.
To say that the relationship is not harmonious, Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda's interests are not at odds with each other, and Shima Katsuruo and Yamanaka Yukimori are fine, right?
The island is flourishing with mugwort inside the door, and the mountain is blessed with the wind blowing outside. The mountains are full of mugwort inside the door, and the island is full of wind blowing outside the door.
This is the true relationship between the two people. As early as the snow showdown that year, the two wanted to stab each other to death.
The two parties have worked together in Kanto for four or five years, and they already know each other's ins and outs. They even know how many times the other party can raise funds in a year.
For so many years, the two of them endured each other's disgust and cooperated with each other, wasn't it just for justice and love?
Admiring Yoshigiri's giri and coveting Junshang's body, these two giri-hime warriors are no longer the blank slate they used to be, they are both colorful and black.
The only difference is that the island is victorious, wise and courageous, while the mountain is prosperous and beautiful.
Shima Shengmu looks down on this idiot Yamanaka Yukimori, but he has to admit that your Majesty favors this guy.
Whether it's because of the influence of the Nizi Mountain Party in the Sibo family, or because he likes this overly beautiful face.
All in all, Yamanaka Yukimori is very popular.
Dao Shengmeng now looked at her silly and beautiful face, resisting the urge to call her stupid, and sighed.
No matter how stupid Yamanaka Yukimori is, he is still one of the three giants with a high position of power, serving as the deacon of the Kanto Palace and sitting firmly on the Standing Council.
If Dao Shengmeng wants to succeed, he really can't get around this stupid guy. This is what makes Dao Shengmeng feel the most disgusting.
After thinking about it, Shima Shengmeng opened his letter, pointed at it, and asked.
"May I ask Yamanaka-hime, does your letter contain the words "refuse the reward in order to honor the gods?"
Yamanaka Yukimori nodded.
"have."
Daosheng sighed fiercely.
"Jin Duoden swore an oath in front of the Yuwu formation that he would not return to the secular world, not marry, not seek fame, and not strive for honor and favor. In a moment, the world changed, storms came, and everyone in Oda was frightened by the news, and the entire army retreated."
Xing Sheng in the mountain also sighed.
"The majesty of your Majesty makes people fascinated, and they wish they could follow you and watch the miracle together."
Shima Shengmu said this to Yamanaka Yukimori not to resonate with her, but to wake up this fool.
"Yanaka Princess, there have been rumors in Kanto recently that your Majesty is Bishamonten, the patron saint of Buddhism. The three major sects of the Tendai Sect, the Shingon Sect, and the Ichigo Sect even built momentum for your Majesty before the war and confirmed this matter.
Now, everyone in the world knows that you are holy before going into battle. From now on, there is no difference between gods and mortals. We can no longer look at you from a secular perspective. "
Xingsheng in the mountain was stunned and looked at Dao Shengmeng.
The biggest conflict between the two is over getting married. At that time, Akechi Mitsuhide misled the ladies of the Shiba family and made them compete with each other for their wives.
Now that Yoshiyoshi Shiba has embarked on the Shinto path and swore to heaven that he would never marry, there is no need to mention the marriage dispute anymore, and the irreconcilable fundamental contradiction between Yukimori Yamazaki and Katsuki Shima has disappeared.
Not only Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuo, but also other important members of the family's struggle over the marriage can actually be put to rest.
Yamanaka Yukimori narrowed his eyes and asked.
"What on earth do you want to say to me?"
Yamanaka Yukimori didn't believe that Shima Shengmeng came specifically to seek reconciliation with him.
Even if there is no fight over marriage, a woman’s natural desire for exclusivity would make her extremely unhappy when she sees the man she loves sleeping with another woman.
The previous discord between Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuki was destined to displease each other, and they could not become good friends and could only work together for their own benefit.
Shima Shengmeng said.
“I just want to remind you what Akechi Mitsuhide is worried about.
Tsudo-den has stepped onto the Shinto path. From now on, you and I will no longer have any conflicts about getting married. Instead, we will have to worry about whether our future heirs will be able to secure their position as descendants of the gods.
The idea of becoming a god was originally an argument used to fool the foolish women in the countryside. However, tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides witnessed the sacred display in front of the Jindo Hall.
Coupled with the miracles at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in the Battle of Yamato, your Majesty has repeatedly used magical methods, and even the top brass of the samurai family have no choice but to believe it.
At this critical moment, we need to work together to put you on the throne of God and let the people of the world recognize your divine power. This is related to the future of our children.
Would you rather your future child with your Majesty be regarded by the world as an illegitimate child with moral turpitude, or would you rather be regarded by the world as a descendant of the divine blood? "
Dao Shengmeng hit the nail on the head and explained the key benefits.
Shiba Yiyin has already embarked on the Shinto path, and there is no way back. The identity of this god must be confirmed.
If the world does not believe in the claims of living gods, Shiba Yiyin will be a clown in the eyes of the world. He and the children of Ji Samurai who admire him are the illegitimate children of a slut that is not tolerated by common sense.
If the world believes in Yi Gin's identity as a god, then his children are descendants of the god, and his behavior of sowing seeds everywhere is divine grace. The children of the Ji warriors who love him can follow the chickens and dogs to heaven.
Whether their child should be regarded as the daughter of a slut despised by the world, or the descendant of a god looked up to by the world, Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuruo had no choice.
Yamanaka Yukimori suddenly woke up and nodded.
"I see."
Shima Sheng glanced at her fiercely and said.
"I know that Yamanaka Hime is worried about the dissatisfaction of the Kwantung Allied Forces. After all, they marched forward bravely in this battle and suffered a lot of casualties.
But please understand one thing.
We are first of all the servants of the Shiba family, and secondly we are the leaders of the Kanto Palace and representatives of the Kanto samurai family.
As long as it hinders the interests of the Shiba family and the king, then it doesn't matter what the people of Kanto think.
Your Majesty placed us in Guandong to protect the interests of the Shiba family. This is the foundation of our foundation in the world. "
Yamanaka Yukimori glanced at Shima Katsuo and was quite unhappy with her tone of lecturing him, but Yamanaka Yukimori had to admit that what Shima Katsuo said made sense.
She thought for a moment and said.
“Even if I am willing to support Mitsuhide Akechi and force the Kwantung Alliance to give up the reward, it will be difficult to succeed.
You know, every family in Guandong may not sell my face, and the same goes for you. "
Dao Shengmeng said indifferently.
“We don’t need them to sell face, we just need to make deals with them.
Takeda Shingen is advocating in Kanto to clean up the wallflowers of the East, and the Hojo clan has clearly expressed its support.
The eastern part of Kanbashishu, dominated by the Five Kingdoms of Shimo, Shangsong, Fangsong, Shimono and Hitachi, covers almost half of the Kanto Plain.
If the Kanto Secretariat decides to conquer the unjust and rebellious people of the East, the Kanto Secretariat headed by Shiba, Uesugi, Hojo, and Takeda will jointly send troops.
Do you think the people of the East can stop it? "
Yamanaka Yukimori asked rhetorically.
"Are you going to use the decision to conquer the Eastern People to make a deal with the Kwantung Allied Forces?"
Shima Sheng nodded fiercely.
"The foundation of the Kanto Allied Forces is in Kanto. Even if your Majesty rewards them with Echizen Country or even nearby lands, they are beyond their reach.
In this case, why not take the nearby Kanto Plain?
Your Majesty's war power is unpredictable, and the Kwantung Allied Forces respect them like gods. How could the people of the East withstand the full blow of the Kwantung Shisuo?
What's more, the people in the East disobey the righteousness and refuse to go to Luo to perform their duties. They have committed a taboo. Our reasons for sending troops are very sufficient, and it does not count as breaking the imperial order of no war in Guandong.
As long as the Kwantung Allied Forces refuse the reward and worship the emperor as a god, you and I will initiate a resolution in the Standing Council to conquer the people of the East and take everyone to the eastern part of Guanbazhou to expand territory and enjoy delicious food and drink.
Tell me, are they willing? "
Yamanaka Yukimori smiled.
"Of course they are totally willing to do it, but it's too cheap for Akechi Mitsuhide.
As soon as we agreed, the pressure from Maeda's interests increased, and he had to agree. Akechi Mitsuhide was about to show his face again. "
Shima Sheng shook his head violently.
"Akechi Mitsuhide gained face, but we gained benefits.
She wrote to us, which was a gesture of goodwill. The dispute over the marriage has come to an end, and from now on the divine bloodline will unite.
Yamanaka Hime, you and I have not conceived an heir yet, but Uesugi Takeda has come out on top. This is not a good thing.
It would be a good thing for everyone if the divine descendants in the Sibo family could unite and prevent outsiders from coveting the Sibo family property.
It's a great thing for you and me. "
Yamanaka Yukimori's expression dimmed and he nodded firmly.
Shima Katsuki and Yamanaka Yukimori followed Yoshigan to Kanto and entered the house early, but they were also unlucky and neither of them was pregnant with a child.
On the contrary, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin already had a daughter, forming a suppression of Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeru in Kanto.
If the important officials in Shiba's family can unite, grow together, grow together, and help each other, then it will naturally be a great benefit to Yamazaka Yukimori and Dao Shengmeng.
After all, Takeda Uesugi is in Kanto, and they are on the front line, overwhelmed by the gods who are powerful foreign ministers.
