Seeing the shaken expressions of the local servants in each village, the Third Taifu of Baidi secretly thought that something was not right, so he quickly refuted it.
How could Yiyin let her have her wish? She said sternly.
"Miyoshi Changqing was accused by the general as an enemy of the Wu family. If you and others join the bandits against the shogunate, it will be a serious crime of disobedience!"
Bai Di San Taifu was furious.
"So what if I'm a thief! I'm not rebellious now!"
"Now that I'm here, it won't be anymore!"
Yiyin looked around.
The point of a debate is not to convince the other party, but to convince others present.
Seeing that the waiters present were all pricking up their ears to listen to what he said, I felt a little more confident.
"When the shogunate is in trouble, it is a good opportunity for the Wu family to be rewarded by the public.
The general promised me to protect Iga and have arbitrary power over Iga country.
As long as you are willing to serve the shogunate, you will not only be able to wash away your traitorous nature, but you will also be rewarded after the war."
Bai Di San Tai Fu retorted.
"That's nonsense. The Sanhao family brought hundreds of thousands of people to Luo. How could the shogunate resist them?
We, the Iga people, are engaged in intelligence trading, so don’t try to trick us into being buried with the shogunate.
Miyoshi's envoy has something to say. As long as we can contribute to Miyoshi's family in Shangluo, not only will we and the Iga people be freed from betrayal, but the territory they conquer will also belong to us.
The shogunate has declined, and the general is no match for the Miyoshi family. He just wants to trick us into dying with his empty words. What a daydream!"
What Bai Di San Taifu said is reasonable. Although the servants from Iga respect the general, they are not ignorant countrymen from other places, and they are also well-informed.
In recent years, the shogunate has been disgraced and has been slapped in the face not once or twice.
The Miyoshi family is so powerful, if they stand in the wrong team, the Iga people will die in vain.
Yiyin laughed.
"You Iga people are indeed well-informed, but do you know me?"
He thumped and walked forward. Everyone hesitated for a moment and asked him to walk in front of Bai Di San Taifu.
Bai Di San Taifu was also a little uncomfortable, and he knelt down and sat upright with his long legs crossed.
Yiyin looked at her condescendingly.
"I, Shiba Yiyin, have some reputation in Omi. If you really want to rebel, I will return to Omi.
Although the Rokkaku family has a problem with me, this time they sent troops to help the general, how could they watch you waiting to cut off her escape.
Not to mention Jiahe Zhong, you are old rivals."
The Koga Fifty-three Family originally specialized in intelligence assassinations, and they made a lot of money. The Iga clan came out of nowhere to kill them, and it became a competition between the two families.
Those who play monopoly hate their competitors the most. The two sides have been at odds with each other in recent years, and there is a sea of blood feud.
Moreover, 21 of the fifty-three Koga clan are retainers of the Rokkaku family. The Minamiomi Rokkaku family also responded to the general's request this time and sent troops to assist in the battle.
Iga is right below Minami Omi. If the Iga people side with the Miyoshi family, Rokkaku Yoshiharu, who has just succeeded to the throne, will definitely treat Yoshigan as his honored guest and kill the Iga people first.
The third wife of Baidi also understands this, but she is stubborn.
"So what. I, the Iga people, have rebelled, attacked Yamato, and helped Lord Tokawa Ichino. The Miyoshi family will definitely win a complete victory, and the shogunate will not lose."
Yiyin knelt down and looked at her level. He was so close that his breath hit her face, and he looked into her eyes and said.
"Master Baidi, please listen to me. If I hear one more sentence about you being disrespectful to the shogunate, I will do nothing for the rest of my life except to call you."
Bai Di San Tai Fu still wanted to sneer, looking at Yi Yin's serious eyes, but did not dare to speak.
Onishiba's reputation was gained through actual fighting in Omi. She had browsed all the information and found it incredible.
This man has a strong character, and his words must be followed and his deeds must be resolute. If he angers the Baiji family because of the defeat of the shogunate, I am afraid that he will really beat him to annihilation.
After swallowing a gulp of saliva, Bai Di San Tai Fu moved his eyes.
Yiyin was satisfied. Bai Di San Taifu still had the desire to survive, so it was easy to handle.
For him, when entering Iga this time, he must unite the Iga people as one and contribute to the crusade against Miyoshi.
The Miyoshi family sent people to win over the Iga people. It doesn't matter whether they succeed or not.
Kii's Tokawa Ichimon army is the main force of Miyoshi's southern front, and the role of Iga Zhong is nothing more than the icing on the cake.
Yoshigan, however, had to lead the Iga army to block Juga Ichibun on the southern front. Even if he succeeded in blocking the Iga people in the country and preventing them from rebelling, it would still be a failure.
Therefore, Sanhaojia can play with empty promises, but he must give real benefits.
These people have been oppressed by the shogunate for decades. After several generations, they no longer believe in the shogunate.
How to make them believe in themselves in a very short period of time is the biggest problem of this trip.
Yiyin stood up and stopped looking at Bai Di San Taifu. At this time, she was no longer in trouble, but the trouble was the doubts of the waiters at the venue.
Yiyin took a deep breath and made up his mind. He pulled out his ribs and held it in his hand.
People present became nervous when they saw him using the knife.
Regardless of the Ji warriors brought by Yoshiyin, the Fujibayashi sisters, the third husband of Baiji and the attendants at the venue, they were all staring at him.
Yiyin closed his eyes, then opened them as wide as possible. He used his backhand to cut his face with the blade of the knife.
The blade of the knife cut downwards along the cheekbones, leaving two scars on each cheek. The flesh and blood were turned up and bleeding continued.
"My lord!"
Maeda had tears in his eyes and wanted to rush forward, but Yoshigan stopped him with a stern look. It was the most important moment, how could he be interrupted by her.
"I, Yoshigan Ushiba, the legitimate son of the Ashikaga Ichimen Shiba clan, am the guardian of Iga. I have been appointed by the general to decide the affairs of Iga with one word. I hereby declare to you that I will cut my face as proof.
The survival you want, I will give it to you.
I will give you the dignity you want.
I will give you the reward you want.
Otani Yoshitsugi, take my Ashikaga white flag!"
Otani Yoshitsugi shouted his promise and came forward holding the Ashikaga white flag. He knelt on the ground, raised the flag with both hands, and raised his hands above his head.
Yoshigan expressionlessly picked up the royal flag and stood on the spot. The Ashikaga white flag and the Shiba family flag were flying on the flagpole.
He shouted loudly.
"It is only natural and right for the samurai family to be rewarded by the public! I hold the imperial flag for Ashikaga Shogun to attack the unsubordinates, and to attack the enemy of the samurai family, Miyoshi Nagakei.
Are you willing to go to war with me and ask the shogunate for your lost future as a reward from the public?"
The whole place was silent, and then the promise was made loudly, and the sound wave almost blew off the roof.
"I am willing to die for the general! I am willing to die for the guardian!"
The servants all fell to the ground and kowtowed. No matter they were half-grown girls or elderly women, their eyes were full of tears and they were choked with sobs.
The days of being excluded from the Wu family society have finally come to an end!
It's not that the Iga people didn't want to believe it, but they didn't dare to believe it. They kowtowed and begged for mercy time and time again, but were coldly suppressed by the ministers. No outsider could understand the blood and tears involved.
Abandoning dignity, kneeling down to beg for life, the pain of being trampled on is still etched in my heart.
At the moment when Yi Yin cut their teeth, they finally believed that these hard days were over!
Yiyin turned around and looked at Bai Di San Tai Fu and said.
"What about you, are you willing?"
Bai Di San Taifu looked at the four knife marks on Yi Yin's face and his bloody cheeks, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
At this moment, the host and guest have changed, and even the Ji warrior from the Baiji family will not fall out with her.
She smiled bitterly and kowtowed to the ground.
"The Third Taifu of Baidi is willing to die for his protection."
