Yoshigami nodded in approval. Compared to Yamanaka Yukimori's nonsense, Maeda Toshiie's words were what he wanted to hear.
he said.
"I intentionally changed my plan. After reaching an agreement with Her Majesty Oda, I followed her to Gifu Castle and went to Luo with the Oda family.
Maeda-hime, Yamanaka-hime, if this is the case, I will have to rely on you to participate in Shangluo's military strength."
Maeda Toshiie and Yamanaka Yukimori looked at each other and kowtowed to the ground together.
"I am willing to die serving the emperor."
Owari Shiba of Maeda Toshiba received 20,000 koku and could mobilize two reserve troops. Yamanaka Yukimori had one hundred elite Odai warriors at his disposal.
Coupled with the fifty Ji warriors from the Tongxin clan who were guarding the banner, Shiba Yiyin could barely maintain the dignity of the coalition forces in Shangluo.
Yiyin looked at Bai Di San Taifu and ordered.
"Hamaichihime, send a message to Sakai Port immediately and ask Takada Yono to come see me.
She is so powerful. The Miyoshi family rebelled against Shiba Shinsengumi in Sakai Port and turned a blind eye.
I believe that she will be able to come to me safely."
Yiyin sneered and said to Ishida Mitsunari on the side.
"Ishida-hime, you and Takada Haruno have been working together on the east and west ends of the Hokuriku Road trade route for two years. This time you can finally meet each other."
Ishida Mitsunari kowtowed to the ground and let out a cry of joy. She knew in her heart that the Lord was extremely dissatisfied with Takada Haruno's involvement in the Kyoto Incident.
If Takada Harano fails to pass the test this time, the Lord will knock her into the dust, and Ishida Mitsunari will take her place.
Yiyin thought about it all night yesterday, and he is not planning to go back for the time being.
First, use the military strength of Yamanaka Yukimori and Maeda Toshiie to hold the situation together, and then slowly find a way to get back the power of the recent wave leaders.
There is no problem with Nizi Shengjiu, so let Yamanaka Yukimori appease him. Takada Yono is a town that believes in having no soldiers and no generals, so it is the best to be a soft persimmon.
But Yoshihiro Saba has some headaches over the handling of Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda's interests.
Speaking of which, these people did have true feelings for him. Yiyin didn't want to hurt them, but he couldn't let them do whatever they wanted.
He has already thought about the arrangements for Takada Haruno. He promoted her too quickly and made her forget about it. This time, he will let her be Ishida Mitsunari's deputy and calm down first.
However, Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda's interests are his think tanks and generals in recent times, and they have many territorial retainers under their command. He is still in a dilemma as to how to deal with them.
At this moment, Maeda Toshiie suddenly came out of the queue and bowed, saying.
"I have something to request from the imperial office, and I ask for your permission."
Yiyin smiled.
"What happened to you over there? Tell me."
Maeda Toshiie said solemnly.
"At the beginning, Owari Shiba had thirteen thousand koku. Three thousand koku was the place of knowledge and practice that was rewarded by the Lord, and ten thousand koku was the new territory that was developed later.
I have written to you, and you have approved the deposit of the 10,000 shi from the latecomers in the form of Shiba materials in the name of Owari Shiba.
Now, His Majesty Oda has changed the title of Mino Province to the upper county of 20,000 shi, leaving only 1,500 shi in Kisha village in Owari.
Xicun is the ancestral mine site of Yutai Suo, I dare not lie. I kindly ask you to incorporate the 20,000 stone new land that was changed from the previous county to the Sibo Material Institute."
After Maeda Toshiie finished speaking, before Yoshigan could react, Yamanaka Yukimori's eyes changed.
Sibo Prefecture was a trust territory originally entrusted to several important ministers by the Yiyin Bank.
Because Shiba Yiyin lacked a generational retainer and had no direct subordinates, he had no choice but to hand over the direct officials to the care of trusted ministers in the form of materials.
But all the martial arts members in Sibo's family knew that the important minister of Sibo who had obtained the information was a possible candidate for marriage.
Because it is impossible for the direct leaders of the Sibo family to remain in the hands of outsiders. Then, of course, the important ministers who have obtained Sibo's information will be regarded as competitors by default.
Yiyin was originally located in nearby Spo, and entrusted Sbo Co., Ltd.
Maeda benefited from Iga's fifteen thousand koku, Yamazaka Yukimei received Peking University and ten thousand koku, Shima Shengmeng received Peking University and eight thousand koku, and Akechi Mitsuhide received Peking University and six thousand koku.
In other words, the important ministers who are recognized as candidates for marriage are these four people.
But then, something unexpected happened.
Maeda Toshiie wrote a letter to Owari Shiba, and took the initiative to accept the 10,000 koku of the new leader as Shiba's source.
In other words, Maeda Toshiie used the 10,000 koku territory that he acquired to buy tickets for the competitors.
Now, she is requesting that the amount of materials Owari Shiba received be expanded to 20,000 koku. This is a murderous act!
The hostility in Yamanaka Yukimori's eyes could no longer be suppressed, but she had nothing to say.
Because Maeda Toshiie has the ability to build his own territory and buy the qualifications for his wife. The samurai all have to give thumbs up and praise him, he is so free and easy.
I don’t know if the marriage will be successful, but the territory and status given away are really gone.
Sibo Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.
"Back then I gave you three thousand shi Zhixing, and you handed over 10,000 shi to Sibo.
Now it's better, fifteen hundred dan is considered my ancestral mine, and twenty thousand dan is considered Spo's mine.
Come to think of it, you have worked for me for nothing in the past three years, and you have paid three thousand dan back without taking any penny.
Li Jiaji, there is no such loyal Wu family as you. You are going to let outsiders poke my spine and scold me for unfair rewards and punishments."
Maeda Toshiie kowtowed to the ground and said sincerely.
"My sins will not be forgiven even if I die. I am indeed willing to give everything I have in order to redeem my sins."
After Maeda Toshiie returned home yesterday, she felt filled with regrets.
He tossed Yoshigami over and over and drank the tea, and in the end he wanted to rub salt into his wounds, asking him to compromise with Oda Nobunaga and help him keep Owari Shiba's collar.
This is not something that humans can do!
Maeda Toshiie had a bad night's sleep, and finally decided to express his feelings to his master. Everything he owned belonged to Yoshigashi Shiba and the Shiba family.
Lord, please take it all away, take away my heart, take away everything I have, it is all yours!
Maeda Toshiie's sincere statement made Yamanaka Yukimori suspicious.
She was on the outside looking out for the unknown enemy and friend of the Oda family yesterday, but she really didn't know that her beloved master was drinking tea with other women in the castle tower she was guarding.
Yoshigine saw that the grape trellis between Yamazaka Yukimori and Maeda Toshiie was about to fall down again due to the recent wave of waves, and he quickly came out to put out the fire.
He pretended to be angry, stood up, and said.
"It is the righteousness of the Wu family to be rewarded by the public!
How do you define it according to Si Bo? This is my power, how can you coerce it with kindness?"
When he got angry, everyone kowtowed to the ground and begged the emperor to calm down his anger.
Seeing that the situation was still under control, Yiyin said quickly.
"Maeda Toshiie has done great service in guarding the Owari Shiba Territory, and I will receive five thousand koku from the Tomoyuki County Lord. The other fifteen thousand koku will be received on my behalf in the form of Shiba Ryosho.
You can figure it out yourself on how to divide the territory, confirm the results and write to me.
There are also fifteen hundred stones in Xicun, which you will continue to take care of for me.
Li Jiaji, thank you for everything you have done for the Sibo family in the past three years, thank you very much."
He had never been to Shangjun and Shiba Yiyin in Meinong County, and he didn't know the situation of the territory there. Since it was difficult to refuse the kindness, he had to do it in a formal way, but he would not interfere in detail.
Yoshigami bowed half to Toshiie Maeda, which frightened her so much that she quickly avoided the bow and bowed deeply.
"My lord is so kind, and I am deeply grateful to Maeda Toshiie."
Seeing that this matter was finished, Yoshigan quickly changed the topic to blur the matter out, and talked about how to negotiate with Oda Nobunaga in the future.
But Yamanaka Yukimori and Maeda Toshiie subconsciously looked at each other, and there was a faint hostility between them. As soon as their eyes touched, they each looked away.
The size of the Shiba Ryosho is the default order of eligibility for entry into the family of the samurai under his command. In the past, the largest number was 15,000 koku from Maeda's interests. Now, Maeda's Toshiie and Maeda's interests are tied.
Moreover, Maeda Toshiie still retains the right to take care of the 1,500 koku of Owari Shiba's ancestral land, so she obviously has the upper hand.
Yamanaka Yukimori became more and more displeased with the two Maeda women, especially the Maeda Toshiie who came from behind.
Of course, Maeda Toshiie also felt contempt for this beautiful and flowery Yamanaka Yukimori who looked like an embroidered pillow at first glance.
