"I have a humble request, but I hope that your Majesty will grant it."
"you say."
"The wealth that Mibu Wolf has today is all because of Takada Yukino-sama's promotion.
We are grateful for your great kindness, and now that the matter in Kyoto is over, I sincerely ask your lord to allow us to return to Sakai Port to protect Lord Yukino Takada."
After Isamu Kondo finished speaking, he knelt down and asked for orders.
Yoshigami touched his eyebrows. He was not surprised by Miburou's choice. Takada Haruno had briefly mentioned it to him before.
He looked at Isamu Kondo lying on the ground and had a very favorable impression of this man who knew current affairs.
Although these ronin came from a bad background, they knew the truth and cherished their hard-earned status.
Yoshigage had a vague feeling that Isamu Kondo was a bit like Totaka Todo. He had the same humble origins and had a rough half of his life, but he also climbed to the top in one step and knew how to be grateful.
Seeing Kondo Isamu as another Todo Takao, Yoshigami suddenly felt a little fond of her and said softly.
"When drinking water, think of the source; when drinking water, think of the roots. Good, very good."
Yukino is currently being taken care of by Haruno. You should go to Sakai Port and listen to Haruno's instructions before Yukino wakes up."
"Hi! I will live up to your expectations."
Yoshiyin glanced at Isamu Kondo and whispered.
"Take the Mikazuki Munechika I gave you, take care of Yukino, and go."
Isamu Kondo bowed to say goodbye, came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.
Yiyin sat on the main seat, thought for a long time, and clapped his hands.
When Kamo clan came in and bowed, Yoshihiro said to her.
"Send an envoy to Kyoto and summon Akechi Mitsuhide to Tawenyama Castle.
In addition, inform all the important ministers in the city that a council meeting will be convened as soon as Akechi Mitsuhide arrives."
"Hi!"
The summer harvest is getting closer and closer, and Yiyin must make arrangements for the recent waves as soon as possible and return to Kanto.
———
Kyoto, Hosokawa Residence.
Hosokawa Motonsune invited Akechi Mitsuhide to visit the house, and Mibuchi Haruka, Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Mibuchi Fujie sat with him.
After the two parties met, Mitsuhide Akechi congratulated Mibuchi Fujihide first.
"Mibuchi Fujihide-sama is young and promising. He has been entrusted with important tasks by the general and has been appointed as Fushimi Castle Dai. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."
Mitsuhide Mibuchi couldn't hide the joy on his face and bowed slightly to express his gratitude. The expressions of several other people were not very natural.
Under the temptation of attacking Settsu State and establishing his authority, Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally chose to cooperate with Oda Nobunaga.
The murder of Ise Sakyo was brought to an end by the shogunate.
After the Oda family committed a murder, the shogunate issued a strong declaration, morally upholding the Ise Sakyo who had colluded with the Miyoshi family to kill their ancestors, and whipped their corpses.
This established the basis for the great cause of conquering the Miyoshi family. The political obstacles to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga's cooperation in conquering Settsu Kingdom were completely removed.
The shogunate showed goodwill and passed the Rakuchu legal system proposed by Oda Nobunaga, with only a few modifications.
The duty of guarding Kyoto will be shared between two people. One is nominated by Oda Nobunaga, and the other is appointed by Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Finally receiving the nominal right to garrison troops in Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga also expressed his sincerity for cooperation to the shogunate.
Most of the tens of thousands of Oda soldiers in Kyoto and Minami-Omi would return to their duties and participate in farming. Fushimi Castle, an important town in the southern suburbs of Kyoto, was also handed over to the shogunate by the Oda army.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga reached a tacit agreement, and both sides will mobilize military forces after the autumn. In the name of revenge for their ancestors, they will launch a strategy against Settsu Kingdom.
Then, Ashikaga Yoshiaki handed over Fushimi Castle to Mibuchi Fujihide.
This was originally a strategy formulated by Hosokawa Fujitaka when he was bewitched by the Ise Sect and helped the shogunate deal with Shiba Yoshigan. It was used to win over Mibuchi Fujihide, the Guardian of Kitakogenchi.
Unexpectedly, the Ise Sakyo family had already been slaughtered, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki still gave Fushimi Castle to Mibuchi Fujihide. This move made the Hosokawa Mibuchi family very vigilant.
The allied forces of the shogunate and Oda will march westward in the late autumn and enter the Settsu Kingdom to fight against the Miyoshi family.
Then, controlled by the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, Izumi Province located in the south of Settsu and Kitakawachi in the southeast have very important strategic value.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki entrusted Mibubufufujihide with an important role, which was of course a joy for Mibubufufufujihide himself. But in the eyes of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, it may not be a sugar-coated poison pill.
The shogunate and the Miyoshi family went to war again, and the powerful Oda family with two million koku was summoned. This was a fight between gods.
With a mere 200,000 koku territory and not a strong military force, can the Hosokawa Mibuchi family maintain their unique position in Western Konki?
Today we invite Akechi Mitsuhide to come because the two families hope to find out the attitude of the Shiba family.
After all, Yoshihiro Shiba is the leader of the powerful local faction in the shogunate. Whether the Hosokawa Mibuchi family will obey the shogunate's command or not, they need to understand his attitude and borrow his tiger skin for protection.
But when Mitsuhide Akechi came up, he rushed to congratulate Fujihide Mibuchi, which made everyone very embarrassed.
Mibuchi Fujihide's status in the Hosokawa Mibuchi family has never been as important as Hosokawa Fujitaka's, and he was considered to have mediocre qualifications and not be useful.
However, Yoshigan Shiba helped her get the position of guardian of Kitakawachi, and Yoshiaki Ashikaga gave her real power in the important town of Fushimi Castle, making her status in the two families higher and higher.
The originally stable order of power and the ranking of successors in the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families were forcibly disrupted by external forces and became dislocated.
Before the Hosokawa Mibuchi family could test out the Shiba family's attitude, Mitsuhide Akechi discovered the changes in Mibuchi Fujihide. Mibuchi Fujihide obviously had his own ideas, which was very embarrassing.
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled at Hosokawa Fujitaka, which made the other person couldn't help but twitch his forehead.
Hosokawa Fujitaka made successive mistakes, leading Hosokawa Mibuchi and her family into a ditch, and the retainers were already dissatisfied with her.
Although the two house governors Hosokawa Mototsune and Mibuchi Haruo still valued her, she had already felt the pressure from Mibuchi Fujihide.
The Wu family has always spoken with its strength, and there has never been a shortage of tragic stories of mothers and daughters killing each other, and sisters fighting against each other.
