Got it, for your sake, this matter ends here. I will ask Sakuma Morimasa to take a look and tell those below to restrain themselves."
Maeda Toshiie smiled and bowed slightly to thank Shibata Katsuie.
Last year, the Oda family captured Mino Country. As the foundation of Isshiki Yoshiryu, Higashi Mino was feared by Oda Nobunaga and handed over to Shibata Katsuie's strategy, and was quickly captured.
Hineno Hiroshi, as the representative of the Higashi-Mino samurai family who surrendered to the Oda family, had a very unhappy life. How could Shibata Katsuie, the heroes from Owari, look down on the defeated?
Seizing water, seizing land, requisitioning grain, and bullying the Higashi Merion old party to death regardless of whether it was justified or not, Hineno Hiro could only hold the old party down and swallow his anger.
The Maeda Toshiie family was transferred to Oda Nobunaga, except for the Owari Shiba ancestral land of 1,500 koku, which was exchanged for 20,000 koku in the Mino Province County.
She was always kind and kind, and it was not convenient for Hinano Hiro to go to Oda Nobunaga to complain about everything, so he often used Maeda Toshiie as an intermediary to communicate with Shibata Katsuie.
Shibata Katsuie is a proud person, but he misses the past and takes great care of the old people in Owari. Sometimes the Owari samurai do too much in Higashi Mino, but she turns a blind eye.
But Maeda Toshiie and her had a quarrelsome relationship, and their feelings were different.
Maeda Toshiie once served in the reserve team under Shibata Katsuie and was her old subordinate. At first, Shibata Katsuie participated in Oda Nobuyuki's rebellion, and Maeda Toshiie also came forward to intercede for her after the defeat.
What's more, Maeda Toshiie's identity is Shiba Yoshigan's acting deputy stationed in Owari. His status is not low, and he holds more than 20,000 koku of territory.
In both public and private matters, Shibata Katsuie would always give Maeda Toshiie face.
Whenever the Owari samurai went too far in Higashi Mino, Hinano Hiroshi would complain to Maeda Toshiie, and Shibata Katsuie would also deal with it as appropriate.
As time went by, the three parties reached a tacit understanding. Don't bring trivial matters to Oda Nobunaga. This lord is moody, and who knows who will be unlucky in the end. It's better for everyone to take it easy in private.
While the two were talking, the sound of Hashiba Hideyoshi's energetic surprise came from the distance.
"Master Maeda, Master Shibata, I am so lucky to meet you two today."
Hideyoshi Hashiba trotted up to the two of them and bowed, seemingly feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.
Facing Hashiba Hideyoshi who was full of smiles, Shibata Katsuie snorted coldly, his expression cold and stiff.
During the military council meeting when Mino was conquered, Hashiba Hideyoshi, an unknown person, jumped out to oppose her, embarrassing her.
What's more, I didn't expect that in the end, this little bastard actually built a Sumamata Castle, allowing the Oda family to occupy a corner of Simino, and achieved great success.
Oda Nobunaga's military reforms violated the interests of old samurai families like Shibata Katsuie.
Hashiba Hideyoshi, a young man who was so young, should have been pinched to death long ago, but because of the face of the main hall, no one has taken action yet.
This little girl is lucky. Although she is just a humble servant in the Kinoshita family of Kinoshita Village, she is indeed an old man from the four counties of Shimonowari.
In addition, Masakatsu Hoshisuka from Hoshisuka Township helped to speak. Seeing that they were both old samurai warriors, Shibata Katsuie no longer cared about it.
No one can stop what Oda Nobunaga wants to do. Hashiba Hideyoshi is just a scapegoat, and everyone knows it.
This little girl is pretty good at being a good person. Although Shibata Katsuie felt offended by using the character "Chai" for "Miao", her attitude was really low-key and humble, making it impossible to fault her.
Shibata Katsuie didn't care about her now. Anyway, there were so many samurai who wanted her life, so why should he dirty his hands.
Ignoring the enthusiastic Hideyoshi Shibata, Katsuie Shibata glanced at her with a deadly look and left on his own.
However, Hideyoshi Hashiba was very good at adding drama to himself. He watched her leave with a smile and said.
"Shibata-sama is always so serious and never gets angry, which makes me admire him deeply."
Maeda Toshiie looked at Hashiba Hideyoshi angrily and funny, somewhat admiring her shamelessness. It was really tiring to live so cautiously.
Hashiba Hideyoshi respectfully watched Shibata Katsuie leave, then turned his head and looked at Maeda Toshiie with a bright smile.
Maeda Toshiie quickly waved his hands and cursed with a smile.
"Put away your mind-numbing compliments. I know it's not easy for you, but it doesn't have to be the same for me."
There was gratitude in Hashiba Hideyoshi's eyes.
She didn't like to bow her head like this, but the situation forced her to do so and she had no choice.
Most of the high-ranking samurai of the Oda family disliked her, but only Niwa Nagahide and Maeda Toshiie took good care of her and showed some kindness.
While they were talking, Takenaka Shigeharu and others from a distance had already approached and saluted Maeda Toshiie. Maeda Toshiie greeted them with a smile, without any arrogance of a high-ranking samurai family.
Takenaka Shigeharu admired this gentleman very much, but also had some doubts.
Maeda Toshiie is a special existence in the Oda family.
The Owari Shiba Territory is an issue left over from history. Before Shiba Yoshigan went to Luoka, he fought with Oda Nobunaga and helped her fight, thus retaining this ancestral land and bounty territory.
Maeda Toshiie was a retainer of Shiba, and Owari Shiba was acting as an acting official, so his status was not low.
Owari Shiba led the foreign domain belonging to the Oda family. Oda Nobunaga mobilized for war, and the Maeda Toshie family also followed suit and sent troops.
Politically, this is a knot that is difficult to untie. The Shiba family's territory within the Oda family, and the Shiba Gai domain to which the Oda family belongs, make it difficult to sort out the priorities of monarchs and ministers.
But Maeda Toshiie, she just found a way out.
Sibo Yiyin understood her difficulties and allowed her to act easily.
Oda Nobunaga, who did not tolerate disdain in his eyes, actually tolerated this country within a country and greatly appreciated Maeda Toshiie.
