The core intention of Akechi Mitsuhide's plan to keep a low profile for Shiba Yoshigan was to use the hands of Oda Nobunaga to make the world's samurai completely disappointed with the shogun and the shogunate.
If Yiyin wants to rule the Wu family as a man, it is absolutely impossible to succeed by following the normal route of hegemony.
The shogunate collapsed, and in the face of the unstoppable Oda Nobunaga, the traditional samurai who desperately wanted to protect their own interests abandoned the distinction between men and women and supported the man Yoshigan Shiba as a general.
The Wu family is hypocritical, but they attach great importance to etiquette.
Everyone has no objection to Shiba Yiyin's desire to be the father of the martial arts family. But if he wants to become the pillar of the martial arts family and become a general in the opening ceremony, it will be difficult.
The foreign vassals would cling to the issue of him being a man, leaving Yoshigan forever trapped in this matter and unable to stabilize his Shiba shogunate.
Just as Wu returned to power in the Tang Dynasty, the Shiba shogunate of Yiyin is likely to die in his lifetime.
But Mitsuhide Akechi discovered an excellent opportunity, which was the rise of Oda Nobunaga.
She had carefully studied the policies of the Oda family, and it was really a stab in the lungs of the traditional samurai family. Oda Nobunaga was going to revolutionize the lifeblood of the traditional samurai family.
Between the differences between men and women and the vitality of innovation, if you choose one of the two, all samurai will choose to support a male general without hesitation, rather than let Oda Nobunaga change the world.
It doesn't matter whether there is a Gil below the shogun. The traditional order of the shogunate and the transcendent status of the samurai family must be maintained.
Therefore, according to Akechi Mitsuhide's design, the Shiba family must not enter the battlefield now, and the most correct choice is to sit back and watch.
No matter how dangerous the situation is and how powerful the Oda family is, as long as the shogunate and the shogunate are not completely disappointed and abandoned by the world's samurai families, the Shiba family can only grit their teeth and watch Oda Nobunaga sweep across the world.
However, Maeda Yoshie, the military commander who was close to the two leaders, did not see this level of political strategic determination. She only believed that this was the best time to intervene in the war from a military perspective.
Akechi Mitsuhide neither wanted to explain, nor could she convince the Maeda interests. So her purpose of coming today was to use the help of the girls to suppress the Maeda interests that were about to move.
The Takada Yukino mentioned earlier also foreshadowed this attempt.
What Maeda said was reasonable and reasonable, and all the girls present nodded in agreement.
Nizi Shengjiu said.
"I remember that when Princess Akechi suggested that the Lord should withdraw from Kyoto, she was suggesting that she should keep a low profile and make a difference.
It is important to keep a low profile and bide our time, but we also need to do something. If we hold back and do not speak out, I am afraid that both the Shogunate and Oda will intensify their efforts and the future will not end well."
Nizi Katsuhisa was dissatisfied with Mitsuhide Akechi and could not let go of his master's return.
Even though Akechi Mitsuhide has thousands of reasons, the pressure on this close group is all shouldered by Nizi Katsuhisa. Is this a sign of seeing someone struggling to shoulder a burden? Seeing someone being stabbed and not feeling any pain?
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly and pulled Takada Yukino out to talk.
“The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough waves know the sincere ministers.
When something goes wrong with the Shiba Tadashi Foundation, there are people like Yukino-sama from Akagi to take care of you. But the hearts of the powerful local factions are unpredictable, so how do we know who is truly worthy of the Shiba family's trust?
as far as I know,
Mibuchi Fujihide-sama and Ninagawa-sama were courted by the general one after another, but only Mibuchi Fujihide-sama made a disappointing move.
Who is the friend of the Sparr family and who is the enemy of the Sparr family? This is the first question that the Sparr family must solve when facing a complex and ever-changing situation.
If the master comes back early, those with ulterior motives will definitely stop and start making plans.
In order to avoid future troubles, why not take this opportunity to let us see clearly who is worthy of trust and who has betrayed the lord's kindness."
Nizi Katsuhisa listened thoughtfully, but Takada Yono on the side shrank his pupils. He always felt that Akechi Mitsuhide mentioned Yukino again and again, which was not a good thing.
Maeda sneered again and again, and said with a cut.
"Akechi-hime is so eloquent that she is indeed a talented person who played house with the general in Kyoto.
It's a pity that in these troubled times, people's hearts are erratic. The only thing that can be truly trusted is money and food for soldiers with swords and guns.
If the Si Bo family remains silent, even the Wu family who intends to follow the Si Bo family will feel uneasy and will sooner or later choose to abandon the Si Bo family in the face of pressure.
If you want to gain a foothold in troubled times, you don't have to rely on words, Akechi.
Whoever wins, the Wu family will follow! If we want to stabilize people's hearts, we have to strike hard!"
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't wait for the girls to react and retorted first.
"So, is this the reason why you contacted the Koga people and the remnants of the Hexagonal Party in Ishibu City without consulting us?"
As soon as Nizi Katsuhisa felt that Maeda's words of interest were quite reasonable, his thoughts were disrupted by the news of Mitsuhide Akechi, and he asked solemnly.
"Maeda-hime, is this true?"
Maeda Yoshida squinted his eyes and glanced at Momochi Santao and Yagyu Muneki who were sitting with him.
Mitsuhide Akechi discovered what he had done just now. Could it be that the Ninja and the Metsuke noticed the clues and tipped off the information?
However, Momochi Santao and Yagyu Munenuki were not squinting, sitting beside them like two wooden sculptures, as if they could not see or hear the dispute.
They are not fools. This review dispute is a struggle for power between Akechi Mitsuhide of the peace faction and Maeda of the war faction.
Akechi Mitsuhide is in charge of foreign affairs, so he naturally hopes to join forces and demonstrate his own strategy.
Maeda was in charge of the military affairs and had not fought for two or three years. A group of warriors under his command were so hungry that their eyes turned green, so they wanted to fight in a battle and be rewarded for their meritorious service.
The methods of the two sides are completely opposite, and there will be trouble if they don't quarrel.
The people who bear the public eye are the eyes, ears and loyal dogs of the master. If they get involved in the line dispute between the bosses, there will be no good but only harm. Of course, they must pretend to be deaf and dumb and remain neutral.
Seeing them like this, Maeda Mamoru speculated that this matter had nothing to do with the secret group Yagyu group.
She suddenly remembered that before the Lord left Kyoto, he had given Akechi Mitsuhide jurisdiction over a group of ninjas, namely Fujibayashi Mukuro and those people. This bastard had his own independent source of intelligence.
Maeda's eyes twitched, and he stared at Akechi Mitsuhide with a fierce gaze.
This bastard didn't use his ninjas to attack foreign enemies, but instead sent them to monitor him, the general who was in close proximity to him. How could this be unreasonable?
"Akechi Mitsuhide! You are so brave!"
Seeing that Maeda's interests were about to explode, Nizi Katsuhisa shouted.
"Calm down! Maeda-hime!"
Maeda bared his teeth and sneered.
"This guy used the ninja who the master left behind in Kyoto to work on me. It's too presumptuous!"
Nizi Shengjiu said in a deep voice.
"Don't be impulsive, first listen to what Mingzhiji has to say."
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled gracefully and said.
"Maeda-hime doesn't seem to be denying that she secretly contacted Koga and the Rokkaku remnants? So is this true?
Don't get me wrong, I didn't send anyone to monitor you.
It's just that Oda's minister, Niwa Nagahide, was in Minamiomi to win the hearts of His Majesty Oda. For diplomatic reasons, I checked her situation in Koka County and calculated the extent of the Oda family's control over Minamiomi.
It was just an accident that I discovered the secret communication between Maeda Hime's people and the local Koga clan.
I didn’t want to hide it from you. Look, when I came this time, I told you in person.”
Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide's hypocritical smile, Maeda wanted to step forward and tear it off immediately.
But she was impulsive and accidentally made a mistake, which confirmed Akechi Mitsuhide's guess and fell into passivity.
Under the questioning gazes of the ladies, Maeda snorted, sat firmly in his position again, and said calmly.
"Yes, I sent someone to test out the Jiahe Zhong and the Hexagonal remnants. What's going on?"
Akechi Mitsuhide's smile became brighter and brighter, but his eyes became aggressive.
"What Maeda-hime said, back then, in order to prevent the Rokkaku family's northern expedition to the Asai family, you personally led people into Koga County and massacred several villages, scaring everyone in Koga to treat you like a nightmare.
Now, you are contacting these old enemies without your master's order. If the Oda family misjudges my family's attitude and thinks that our family intends to interfere with Minami Omi, won't it cause trouble?
The Lord personally gave the order before he left. You must hide your strength and bide your time. How can you explain to the Lord that you are provocative?
You have to know that although the master is no longer here, Takada Yukino-sama is still there, and the Mikazuki clan is still there, so you have to take care of yourself."
Takada Haruno's scalp went numb when he heard this, this Akechi Mitsuhide is so weird.
It was obvious that there were strategic differences between her and Maeda's interests, and the two sides had a dispute. But from the beginning to the end, Akechi Mitsuhide never fired a single shot openly, dragging Nizi Katsuhisa and Takada Yukino along with him.
It seems that the two sisters, Katsuhisa Niko, Mitsuhide Akechi, and Takada, made this scene jointly put pressure on Maeda's interests. Akechi Mitsuhide, a poisonous person who talks sweetly and has a sword, is too bad.
Although Takada Yukino resigned as the leader of Mesuke, was even seriously injured and lost all her martial arts skills, she still had the famous sword Mikazuki Munechika.
This sword was given to Yukino Takada by Ashikaga Yoshiteru before his death, and he was ordered to protect Yoshigan Shiba.
