Walking out of Takeda Yoshinobu's yard, Yoshigami couldn't help but sigh. Today's shot was too expensive.
After looking at the child, he and Kosaka Masanobu were affectionate for a while, and then he was severely cheated by the Takeda family.
Forget it, just leave the matter of Iwamura Castle to Akechi Mitsuhide. Anyway, it is a package negotiation, not much more than this. As for Akechi Mitsuhide, Yoshihiro didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Just for the matter of Nanzenji Takanobu taking Takeda Yoshinobu to see a doctor, Yoshigan could cure Mitsuhide Ake of the crime of informing others. It would be good if he did not pursue the case. How could she still dare to bargain?
As soon as Yoshigan walked out of the courtyard, he saw Kamaojigo and Ii Naomasa standing there together.
"Why are you all here?"
Kamo clan bowed.
"Sage, there is urgent mail from Guandong delivered to Tongxin Secretariat. Please take a look at it."
Yiyin nodded.
"Let's go back and see, what's it about?"
Kamaojigo followed behind Yi Gin and said softly.
"This is a summary text about the autumn review process of the Great Review of the Kanto Palace.
His Highness Takeda took charge of the united front and joined the Grand Council's decision, which was successfully passed.
After joining, she immediately put forward a new proposal, requesting the Great Council to hold the people of the East accountable for their indifference to the matter of Juyi going to Luo, and for their disloyalty and unrighteousness.
Members of the United Front of the Oriental People in the Grand Council left the table in protest.
However, this resolution still received the support of more than 80% of the United Front people, and all six members of the Standing Council also supported it.
There is already some chaos in the Guanbazhou area. The United Front members affiliated with the Eastern Army expressed their dissatisfaction and threatened to withdraw from the Grand Council.
They asked General Kanto to intervene in the matter regarding the violation of the Kanto Imperial Peace Order by the Grand Council of the Kanto Palace, but the Furukawa leader ignored it. "
Yiyin sneered as he walked.
"Of course Ashikaga Yoshiji will not pay attention to these post-autumn grasshoppers. The Takeda family was able to successfully enter the Grand Council with the tacit approval of the Uesugi family and the Hojo family. Otherwise, how could they have entered?
When Takeda Shingen entered the Grand Council, he wanted to be the first person to cross the procedural threshold for the powerful feudal lords of Kanto to annex the people of the East.
Takeda, Uesugi, and Hojo have reached an agreement, and dragons, lions, and tigers have joined forces. How can the people of the East still survive?
The Kanto system has been ousted by the Kanto servants, and Ashikaga Yoshiji has been reduced to a puppet. As long as she has some brains, she will not get involved in this matter.
Are the people in the East making excuses for the imperial decree that there will be no war in Guandong? Haha, I was the one who invited the imperial order from Ashikaga Yoshiji.
It is my prestige that guarantees the peace of the eight states of Guanzhou, but those idiots from the East ignore my initiative and the righteousness of the Wu family, and still want to rely on the imperial decree that there will be no war in Guandong as a talisman?
It's so stupid that you should die. "
Yiyin sarcastically mocked the people of the East without mercy, because he knew in his heart that the crusade against the people of the East was a sure thing and could not tolerate any obstruction.
This time the Kwantung Allied Forces went west to conquer Oda. In addition to receiving rewards of money and food, they did not take any land. This was not in line with the martial arts rules of receiving rewards from the public.
The Kwantung Allied Forces were willing to retreat obediently because Shima Shengmu and Yamanaka Yukimori, Shiba's cronies, drew a big pie for them.
Takeda Shingen came forward to propose and the Standing Council fully supported it. These are all appearances. As early as when the Kwantung Allied Forces were willing to return to Kwantung, the people of the East were already on the chopping block.
The people in the East are fighting for their lives, and I am fighting for their lives. The people in the East only think of struggling now, because it is too late.
In the final analysis, there was something wrong with the Eastern People's intelligence that caused such a disaster.
In the eyes of the people in the East, when the two behemoths of the Shiba and Oda collide, both sides will lose. Even if the Shiba family wins, it will not be easy to relax.
However, the people in the East didn't know about Yoshihiro and Oda Nobunaga's quarrel. It was true that these two bad men and women started a war and had peace talks. They actually achieved a quick war and a quick conclusion and joined forces.
This time, the neutrals who were watching the show were scared to death.
The Shiba Oda family went to war, and the neutral faction was not human. The Shiba and Oda families joined forces, and the neutral faction was even more inhuman.
To be neutral is to sit on the fence and to be damned.
The Battle of Shiba Oda had just ended, and Oda Nobunaga had already set his sights on the neutral faction of Settsu Country's Araki Murashige, and wanted to use her to replenish his health.
As for the Shiba family, Yiyin tacitly allowed the Kwantung Allied Forces to attack the neutral Oriental People, which was also a promise to fulfill the post-war rewards.
In fact, the power of the people of the East is not small, and they occupy almost half of Guanbazhou.
However, the people in the East do not have enough trust in the Great Council of the Kanto Palace, and there are not many powerful warriors who actively obtain the status of the United Front.
At this time, the Grand Council voted openly and honestly, putting the decision to crusade against the Eastern People on the table.
However, the United Front members of the Oriental People did not have enough numbers, so they were given an 80% support rate and became a wave of public opinion that was difficult to stop.
If you fail to vote, you can only be represented. The three sects of dragon, lion and tiger join forces to threaten public opinion. How can the people of the East do it?
The Hojo clan wanted the Bosou peninsula, Uesugi Kenshin wanted to expand to Shimoso-shitaye, and Takeda Shingen wanted to integrate into the Kanto shrine.
The rest of the warlords, big and small, followed the big bosses to get a share of the pie and expand their territory, while the Shiba family fulfilled their promise of rewards and received the firm support of the Guan Bazhou martial arts family.
Everyone can benefit from it, only the people in the east are unlucky and become spoils of war.
Yoshigan couldn't help but laugh out loud as he thought about it. He was really unhappy with his retribution. Who made these people from the East ignore him and refuse to join forces to send troops to conquer Oda in the west.
In order to maintain its dignity, even if the Kanto Palace is unwilling to take action, Yiyin will have to deal with these rebels sooner or later.
Whether it is the people of the East or Date Masamune who is causing trouble in the Ou area, if they dare to disrespect the saint, they will have to eat the Shinto iron fist sooner or later.
Behind Yoshigami, the Kamao clan hesitated and reminded.
"Sage, there is something mentioned in the document that makes me a little concerned."
"Well, what is it?"
"The Takeda family will send troops to participate in the crusade against the Eastern Masses, but the military service forecast is for Takeda Yoshinobu, and the second one is His Highness Takeda."
Yoshiyin stopped, looked at Kamao clan village, and repeated.
"Yoshinobu Takeda?"
Pu Shengshixiang nodded solemnly and said.
"Yes, so I suspect that the Takeda family sent troops this time to want His Highness to serve as the general."
Yiyin cursed.
"Nonsense! Yoshinobu is only four years old, how could she go to war?
No. . wrong. . I understand that Takeda Shingen wants to personally serve as Yoshinobu's jindai and earn military merit rewards for Yoshinobu.
This guy is so cunning! "
Yoshigan immediately understood the concerns of Kamao Clan. Takeda Shingen was playing tricks again.
Takeda Shingen had already become a monk at this time, and his only heir was Takeda Yoshinobu, his theoretical adopted daughter but his actual biological daughter.
Originally, the Takeda family would not be able to make any profit from this expedition against the Eastern Army, because the Takeda family's territory was in Kai, Shinano, Suruga, Sankoku, and did not border the Eastern Army in the eastern part of Kanhachishu.
Sending troops to fight is actually to help the Hojo family and the Uesugi family conquer the world, so Hojo Ushimasa and Uesugi Kenshin are willing to let Takeda Shingen come in to disrupt the situation and be the leader in attacking the Eastern people.
But they still miscalculated. Takeda Shingen not only wanted to enter the Kanto Palace Council with his head held high, but also wanted to gain benefits in the war against the Eastern People.
The territories of the Takeda family and the Oriental People are indeed not bordering each other. Even if they conquer some land, they will probably not be able to hold it and will be slowly eroded by the surrounding warrior families.
But if the Takeda family changed their mind, maybe the land they had acquired could be saved, and it would be counted under Takeda Yoshinobu's name.
The Hojo family's goal is the Bosou Peninsula, the Uesugi family's goal is Shimoso Shimo, but Hitachi Country, the easternmost part of Kanhachishu, is a piece of fat that is bordered by no one for the time being.
The Satake family, a powerful vassal of the Hitachi Kingdom, was the hereditary guardian of Hitachi and was a major member of the Oriental People.
The Takeda and Satake families are both members of the famous Minamoto family, descended from the same ancestor. The Satake family lost their virtue, and the Takeda family succeeded Hitachi as guardian, which was justifiable.
Takeda Shingen made Takeda Yoshinobu serve as the nominal general. He commanded the battle for his daughter's generation, and the land he conquered was Takeda Yoshinobu's military merits.
Everyone knows the identity of Takeda Yoshinobu. He is Yoshinobu's cub!
No matter how arrogant or greedy the Guanbazhou Wu family is, who would dare to touch the territory of Yiyin's daughter?
She really made Takeda Shingen anxious. She could declare her conversion to Buddha at any time, retire from the world, and hand over the position of family governor to Takeda Yoshinobu.
In the land of Kanhachishu, no one dares to make Yoshigan unhappy. Although the samurai family there are reckless, they are more traditional. They even believe that Yoshigan, who performed miracles at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, is the patron saint of the samurai family.
With this kind of relationship protecting Takeda Yoshinobu, even if the newly acquired territory is far away from Kai Country, there is a high probability that the Takeda family will still be able to securely eat a large piece of meat.
Takeda Shingen is really good at calculations. He left Iwamura Castle to Yoshigan and asked him to fight with Oda Nobunaga. Then he intervened in the land of Kanhachishu and wanted to make up for it from the Eastern People.
Takeda Shingen really took advantage of all the advantages in the world. The more Yiyin thought about it, the angrier he became, and his mind was filled with careless thoughts.
It's just that Kousaka Masanobu can't vent his anger enough. Next time he sees Takeda Shingen, he must make her pay the price.
Kamojigo asked.
"Sage, what should we do about this?"
Yiyin said angrily.
"What can we do? Should Takeda Yoshinobu and Takeda Shingen sever their mother-daughter relationship?"
Kamojigo thought deeply.
"This is also a way."
Yiyin glared at her.
"Bullshit!"
Takeda Shingen only dared to play like this because he saw through Yoshigan's soft-heartedness.
Cutting off the relationship between mother and daughter can indeed cut off the Takeda family's intention to use Takeda Yoshinobu for small tricks, but can Yoshinobu do it?
If he were such a tough and cold man, many things would be easier to handle. Why would he be manipulated everywhere?
Ji Warriors all know that he is soft-hearted and cannot be harsh on his women and children, so they dare to step out one by one and step on his bottom line.
Yiyin gritted his teeth and said helplessly.
"Forget it, let her be."
The Hamo clan still wanted to comment, but Yiyin buried his head and left, not wanting to continue this topic.
Takeda Yoshinobu was handed over to the Doshinzo Group for protection by Yoshigan. Kamaojigo and Ii Naomasa both regarded this child as the successor of the Doshinzo Group, so they disliked Takeda Shinxuan's behavior very much.
If Takeda Yoshinobu's identity is not pure enough and she is disconnected from local powerful feudal lords, then the Tongxinzhong Group's acceptance of her will be very embarrassing.
The Kamo Clan really hopes that Takeda Yoshinobu and Takeda Shingen will sever the mother-daughter relationship, and then they can peacefully cultivate Takeda Yoshinobu as the heir of the Doshinzo Group.
It's a pity that Yoshihiro, as a father, is unwilling to make such a decision, so Kamao Clan can only sigh and give up.
———
Iga country, outside Ueno Castle.
It’s half way through the autumn harvest, and everyone in the countryside is busy, lest they miss the festival and let a year’s hard work go to waste.
During this busy time, the two leaders of the Iga Maeda family were waiting silently outside the city.
As the sun moved westward for a moment, Maeda Yoshida couldn't help but yawned, and was given a sharp look by Maeda Riku.
"Stand still for me!"
Maeda sighed.
"Mother, we have been waiting for nearly an hour, why hasn't that guy from the Maeda Toshi family arrived yet?"
Maeda Riku glared at his daughter and cursed.
"She is your fourth aunt, how can you call her by her first name?"
Maeda curled his lips and lowered his head, pretending not to hear.
Maeda Riku said sincerely that there was nothing he could do about his increasingly naughty daughter.
"The saint summoned the Toshi family to go to Luo this time. The Toshi family did not take the shortcut that would not break through the pass, but deliberately detoured through Suzuka Pass and passed through Iga country.
You said, why is this? "
Maeda's interests don't matter.
"I don't care what she thinks, mother. Things are in chaos after the war. I've been extremely busy lately. You can just come and greet the Maeda Toshi family by yourself. Why did you have to call me?"
Maeda Riku couldn't help but curse.
"Are you busy? I won't be busy?
You know the things that revolve around the military camp, such as the summer and autumn harvests in the territory, winter and spring plowing, water conservancy and road construction. Which ones have you taken care of?
If you think I'm old, useless, and troublesome, then I can leave and you can clean up this mess yourself! "
Seeing that his mother was really angry, Maeda was also frightened and quickly begged for mercy.
"Mother, that's not what I meant. How dare I dislike you? You are the backbone of the Iga Maeda family. It's too late for me to respect you and love you."
Maeda Riku snorted. She really had no way to deal with this daughter, so she could only sigh.
"I know why you don't like the Li family. It's just because she competes with you for the qualification to join the Sibo family.
But now, the saint takes an oath in front of the formation and steps into the divine way. From now on, marriage and love in the world have nothing to do with the saint. Is there any obstacle between you and the Li family that you can't overcome?
There are two Maedas in one sentence. After all, we are a family.
In this battle of Shiba Oda, you fought hard at Yuwu Lake, and the Toshi family also fought hard in Junshang County, both of which made great contributions to the saint.
When the saint summoned the Li family to Luo, he must have talked about the rewards after the war.
We are all of the same race, and we all serve the saint in the Shiba family. If we work together, we will both benefit, and if we fight, we will both lose. Why can't we get closer and closer?
As a recent general, you do hold a high position of authority, but you have offended countless people.
You have a bad temper and don't care about the internal affairs of the territory. How can I rest assured about the future of the Iga Maeda family?
Now that Lijia has taken the initiative to take a detour and cross the border, he must want to communicate with you and help each other.
She has a calm temperament and is both wise and brave. If she is willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with you, I can still close my eyes with peace of mind even if I die now.
Don't be angry again and just wait for me. She should be here soon. If you keep messing around, I will really let go and leave. You can take care of the Iga Maeda family by yourself! "
Facing his mother's threat, Maeda smacked his lips in displeasure, but he didn't dare to refute it. If he really pissed off his mother, it would not end well.
While the two were talking, gusts of dust were already rising on the official road in the distance, and a group of knights on horseback came galloping towards them.
