Nizi Shengjiu also heard about this for the first time and said with a bad look on his face.
"Mingzhi Ji, you have to give me an explanation."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga were fighting, and Nizi Katsuhisa was not qualified to interfere. However, the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and the Sibo Territory will inevitably be passively involved in this storm in recent years.
Katsuhisa Niko has been under the greatest pressure as Shiba's acting magistrate in recent years. When she heard that Akechi Mitsuhide blocked Yoshihiro Shiba and prevented him from returning to take charge of the overall situation, she was immediately annoyed.
Akechi Mitsuhide was calm, she said.
"My lord has decided to keep a low profile and withdraw from Kyoto to take back the throne, in order to stay away from the central disputes.
The Shiba family had already done this once before by uniting the shogunate against Oda. However, the general did not appreciate it and even beat him up. The master was forced to become a monk and practice Buddhism to prove his innocence.
Now in the dispute between the shogunate and the Oda family, the shogun is already at a disadvantage. When the lord comes back, if the shogun asks the lord to come out and do something for the shogunate, will the lord help or not?
Helping the general suppress the Oda family, the general has to be wary of the master's strength. If he cannot suppress the Oda family, he is just at odds with the Oda family.
Both sides are wrong, why should the Spo family wade into this muddy water?"
Maeda's interest was not convinced by Qi Dao.
"If my lord can unite the shogunate and suppress the Oda family, he will definitely become famous and admired by all the ladies. Even if the general is afraid of the Shiba family, what can he do to the Shiba family?
But if the Oda family gains the upper hand, suppresses the general, and achieves the great feat that even Miyoshi Chōkei failed to achieve, and His Highness Oda dominates shogunate politics, the Shiba family will be completely passive.
Of the three Ashirisbo Oda families, the Oda family is the strongest.
If the Oda family is allowed to win the title of shogunate again, who will compete? At that time, everyone will be a swordsman and I will be a fish and meat. Are we still going to let the Oda family slaughter us?
Intervening in the dispute earlier is also to gain the initiative. If we can balance it well between Ashikaga and Oda, it will be most beneficial to the Shiba family."
Maeda's interest-oriented strategy is very correct in military terms. It is better to unite the weak against the strong when the enemy is weak, than to wait for the strong to swallow up the weak and then deal with oneself.
But politics is never as simple as military cooperation.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki is despicable, she is already an Ashikaga shogun and has the orthodox status of the shogunate.
Oda Nobunaga is taking the road of innovation. What she wants to do is to overthrow the Ashikaga Shogunate and overthrow everything.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga could ignore Ashikaga Yoshiaki, turn her into a puppet first, and then establish a new Oda Kōki to replace the Ashikaga Shogunate.
But Sibo Yiyin cannot do this.
Shiba Yoshigan's reputation is grafted on the title of the direct descendant of the Genji to rule the world. He must adhere to tradition and righteousness and serve as the patron saint of the samurai family that the samurai families in the world admire.
The fact that the Shiba family was able to confront the Ashikaga Shogun of the shogunate with a body of two to three million koku and Oda Nobunaga, who had more than two million koku, was based on the words "great justice".
If Yoshigan Shiba helps Ashikaga Yoshiaki fight against Oda Nobunaga, it will be equivalent to returning to the deadlock he fell into in Kyoto.
Naturally, there would be no benefits if she lost. But even if she defeated Oda Nobunaga, the ungrateful Ashikaga Yoshiaki would definitely turn against her again and try to eliminate the threat posed by Yoshigan Shiba to her.
Yoshigan Shiba is the embodiment of justice, what can he do to the orthodox Shogun Ashikaga?
If you bring down Ashikaga Yoshiaki, your reputation will be ruined. If you retreat and give in, you will be treated like a bad person by the general.
Yiyin's current situation is more troublesome than Cao Cao's treatment of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. At least Cao Cao is not burdened with the name of a saint.
But if Yiyin usurped the throne, it would be similar to Confucius usurping the emperor of Zhou. Then could Confucius still be regarded as the sage Kong admired by all generations?
Therefore, the dirty work of overthrowing the shogunate could only be done by Oda Nobunaga.
No matter how bad the situation is after Ashikaga Yoshiaki was defeated by Oda Nobunaga, Yoshihiro Shiba cannot enter the market early.
Because no matter how powerful Oda Nobunaga is, she, as a revolutionary who has disrupted the world, carries original sin. Yoshigan can finally rely on the power of conservatives to fight her and compete for the world of the samurai family.
However, if Ashikaga Yoshiaki wins, it will be a real political deadlock for Yoshihiro Shiba, and he will be in a dilemma, and no matter what he does, there will be endless consequences.
