Chapter 1572 The war is suspended and negotiations are underway
In the past, Yiyin always wanted to open a harem and was full of expectations for the project of occupying the magpie's nest.
But now, he was confused and found that the method of opening this harem seemed different from what he imagined.
If Oda Nobunaga took the route of conquest, then Yoshigan took the route of sleeping clothes.
Opening up territory and expanding the territory is like the prosperity of Tozawa, relying on sleep.
Getting in touch with powerful feudal lords like Takeda Uesugi also relied on sleeping.
To balance the hills inside Shiba's house, such as Shimayama Nakamaeda Kamao, it is still necessary to sleep.
Yiyin even began to wonder, is he opening a harem, or is someone else taking turns using him?
The twisted harem, the unspeakable pleasure, the undercurrent of bloody violence, and the power struggle all remind Yiyin.
This matter of sleeping with a woman is so tiring. He has to be alert all the time and is afraid of causing a big mess. But this is the path he chose. He will not survive because of his own misfortune, and he has to sleep through it with tears in his eyes.
Putting aside future events, Yoshihiro can be sure that Mitsuhide Akechi's bargaining chip now must be a sleeping ticket leading to his own bed. Only in this way can Oda Nobunaga be satisfied.
Although Yiyin's body is still his own, eating, drinking, breathing, and having diarrhea, it essentially no longer belongs to him, but is the most precious asset of the Shiba family.
What he ate was rice, but what he produced was the noble rice of God!
After the sacred display in front of the Yuwu Lake formation, Shiba's ministers had begun to force the recent coalition forces and the Kwantung coalition forces to stand in line and recognize Yiyin's status as a living god.
As long as the Spurs continue to win, their influence will gradually expand.
One day, the Ji warriors from the sixty-six countries in the world will all recognize Yiyin as the living god, and the great benefits of the god's descendants will come naturally.
With such great benefits ahead of them, it’s no wonder that Zhu Ji couldn’t help but be tempted, and was instigated by Akechi Mitsuhide to jointly exert pressure, so that the miracle of the Yu Wu Lake battle could be confirmed.
As for Yiyin, he decided to bestow Mi Qing, the first god after the concubines created gods, to the Hamo clan.
Starting from a young family name, Pu Sheng was raised by Yiyin in the past six years and became his most trusted confidant. He took on the important tasks of Tongxinzhongbi, chief of Tongxin Secretariat, and Sibo’s selection person in charge.
She can be said to be the top boss of Sibo's central power structure and an important tool for Yiyin to check and balance the local martial arts group in Sibo.
At the moment when Shiba's ministers united, Yi Bank's first reaction was to be vigilant. It was important to sleep in the Kamao clan, stabilize the central group, and maintain suppression of the local bosses.
The first shot to become a god is to shoot at the person next to your pillow. The long-cherished wish of Pu Sheng's hometown has come true. It is a joy to congratulate.
———
In the early morning, Yiyin woke up from his sleep and slowly opened his eyes.
During the war, Yiyin did not bring two young men named Tokusatsu Kamematsu to the front line, so life was naturally not as comfortable as it was in Kyoto.
He straightened up, only to feel a little soreness in the back of his waist, and couldn't help but blush. He had developed it over the years, and once he saw blood, he seemed to be too excited last night.
I have gone through many battles and become like this. I am new to Kamao Clan Village, so it should be even more uncomfortable, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, the sliding door opened and a ray of sunlight shone into the room. Yoshiyin squinted and looked at the Hamo clan with the same back.
She looked neat and tidy as usual and saluted him respectfully, seemingly unaffected. Warrior Ji's physical fitness was indeed far better than Yiyin's.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Yiyin looked at her and forgot to speak for a moment.
Although the appearance of Kamao clan has not changed, I always feel that something is different. Maybe it is the indescribable subtle feeling of a girl turning into a woman.
Pu Shengshi didn't hear Yoshiyin's response for a long time, and looked at the king in confusion. He saw Yoshiyin staring at him intently, his face suddenly turned red, and he said shyly.
"Your Majesty."
Yiyin recalled last night and chuckled.
"Ujigo, you have really grown up."
Yiyin added in his heart, it's not obvious from the outside, but it's unexpectedly a bit big.
Who knows the dirty thoughts in Yiyin's heart? She looked at Junshang, whom she had admired for many years, recalling the madness last night, with a shy and satisfied smile on her face.
"Yes, Shixiang has grown up. He is no longer the poor little person who needs your Majesty's protection. He can now relieve your Majesty's worries."
She had a serious look on her face, but even choked up at the end, which made Yiyin burst into laughter.
"Silly girl, why are you crying?"
"Your Majesty, I am so happy that I am crying with joy."
"Really happy?"
"I'm really happy to be back, Your Majesty!"
"Then...do it again tonight?"
Kamojigo looked stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Yiyin smiled slightly and stretched.
"Get up, get up."
Kamo Shigo hurriedly stepped forward to help Yi Gin dress and freshen up. It wasn't until Yi Gin walked out of the room and stepped onto the porch that she couldn't help but ask again.
"Your Majesty?"
"Um."
"You said tonight...is it true?"
Yiyin turned around and rolled his eyes at her.
"You don't have to come."
"Come! I will definitely come!"
Yi Gin shook his head, a simple and lovely girl like Kamao's village has turned into such a person who only knows the taste of the marrow. He is really a sinful man.
he sighed.
"I'm hungry."
Kamojigo hurriedly went to get Luo Yiyin's breakfast. Yiyin looked at her back and smiled without saying a word. The freshly baked Kamojigo should be chewed carefully several times.
Then, when Yoshigami saw Tachibana Kanade practicing his sword in the courtyard, his face suddenly froze.
Wait a minute, tonight seems to be...a once-a-week task time...fuck!
———
Yoshigine was in a state of confusion. The schedules of Tachibana Kanade and Kamou Clan had collided. He could only secretly complain that he had forgotten Tachibana Kanade's regular tasks. This was shooting himself in the foot.
Not to mention Yiyin's dilemma on how to deal with this little trouble, in recent years, the vigorous god-making movement within the Allied Forces and the Kwantung Allied Forces has continued.
Before the war, the three major sects, namely the Tendai Sect, the Shingon Sect, and the Ichigo Sect, joined forces to build momentum for Yoshihiro, and instilled the feudal superstition that Yoshihiro was a living god to the ignorant rural women at the bottom.
During the war, Yiyin showed his holiness before the battle, which shocked both the enemy and us. The sudden storm made high-level martial artists on both sides begin to hesitate as to whether Yiyin really had divinity.
After the war, Akechi Mitsuhide led Shiba's ministers to launch a wave of propaganda within the coalition forces. The middle and lower class Hime warriors who participated in this bloody battle became convinced of the claims of the living god.
In addition, Yiyin intends to send out big red envelopes of an encouraging nature, and the Tongxin Secretariat goes deep into each military branch to tally military achievements and calculate rewards.
Although there was no reward of land, the reward of money and food was generous enough, which attracted the gratitude of the middle and lower class samurai. In particular, the review of the Sibo Yishi led to the enthusiastic participation of the grassroots Ji samurai.
The treatment is equivalent to that of Spo's establishment, and they have the right to complain to the Tongxin Secretariat. The martyrs themselves did not expect to be so lucky that they would be hit by pie falling from the sky while fighting for the lord.
This time Shiba Yiyin held high the flag of justice and was extremely generous to Samurai Ji who had made great contributions in the bloody battle. The gracious treatment of Shiba Yiyi aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of countless people.
Amidst the praises and praises, the publicity effect needed by Yiyin has been greatly strengthened. Later, as the coalition soldiers return to their skills, they will bring the legend of the living god to far and wide.
After all these struggles, at least in recent times in the Kanto region, Yiyin's identity as a living god has been initially recognized, and he has barely gained a firm foothold.
Kinguine and Kanto are the two most prosperous and core areas of the island country, and their strength ranks first among the sixty-six countries.
The concept of living gods was formed in these two areas, and Yoshigan's Shinto had the foundation to expand to the entire island country and achieve divine power.
While propaganda within the coalition was in full swing, the negotiations between the Shiba and Oda families were not going smoothly.
———
This time the war started with Shiba Yoshigan as the main attacker, taking over many areas of the Oda family. Oda Nobunaga was waiting for work, originally waiting for the Shiba family to attack.
Maeda Toshiie went south, Baba Nobbo went west, and dug two large holes in the Higashi-Mino Mountains that were high up and could penetrate into the Noo Plain at any time.
In Echizen Province, Yukimori Yamazaka had already killed the Kuzuryu River and occupied half of the Fukui Plain.
Shimakatsu rushed to the upper reaches of the Kuzuryu River and captured Ono County. His troops penetrated deep into the mountains and threatened Nishi Mino.
Otani Yoshitsugi launched a surprise attack and recaptured the Suzuka Pass that Maeda's interests had traded to the Oda family in order to buy grain. He also poked a big hole between the two Oda territories of Minamiomi and Kitaise.
In addition, Yoshigan sent troops to Kitaomi to capture Takashima County, Nishiasai County, and Ika County, constantly threatening the food-producing area of the Kitaomi Plain on the east coast of Lake Biwa.
It can be said that the Shiba coalition's offensive in all aspects is very fierce. It has captured many key passes in the Oda family's territory, but it is temporarily unable to penetrate into the rich plains.
Oda Nobunaga originally wanted to have a big fight at Yu Wu Lake, and fight with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches, but the Oda family lost this battle.
If the Oda family cannot get back these key nodes, their prosperous area will always be threatened by the Shiba family, and they will have to live in fear in the future. This is something Oda Nobunaga cannot tolerate.
Therefore, in the negotiations between Shiba and Oda, the Oda side, led by Niwa Nagahide, firmly demanded that both sides return to the pre-war boundary line.
Shiba's Akechi Mitsuhide, she has already asked Shiba Yiyin for instructions, and she can relax her requirements appropriately and make a deal with the Oda family.
But even so, Akechi Mitsuhide could not let Niwa Nagahide manipulate him casually. After all, the Shiba family was the victor.
If the Oda family was asked casually to vomit out the land that the soldiers had won in bloody battles, Mitsuhide Akechi, the important minister in charge of diplomatic negotiations, would have committed seppuku when he returned home.
Yoshihiro Saba and Nobunaga Oda have finalized the highest directive, which is to restore peace. But how to talk about it specifically and what results will be achieved depends on it.
The Battle of Shiba-Oda was too involved. Both sides mobilized nearly 200,000 people and fought bloody battles in various places. Neither Akechi Mitsuhide nor Niwa Nagahide could bear the blame for weak negotiations and humiliating their country.
As a result, they were at loggerheads. As they talked, Yoshigan Shiba and Nobunaga Oda couldn't stand it anymore.
After midsummer comes early autumn, and two hundred thousand people go to war, which has resulted in a shortage of manpower during the busy summer harvest season. Feedback from the people in various places that the power is overwhelmed is constantly adding pressure to the two masters.
Wheat is harvested in summer and rice is harvested in autumn.
The samurai family of the island country levied rice as the main field tax, so the summer harvest was delayed. At most, the foolish women in the village ate less wheat rice and gnawed more tree bark.
But if the talks continue, the army will not retreat without fighting, wasting food and wages, and will eventually affect the autumn harvest that the Wu family values most.
The rice harvested in the autumn is the most important income for the Wu family. The territory's military rations, salary, and storage all depend on the autumn harvest. Once problems arise, it will be difficult to recover for a year or even several years.
The current situation of no war and no peace, which has hindered the summer harvest, has caused uneasiness in the military. As autumn approaches, the mood in the military becomes increasingly unstable.
Neither Shiba Yoshigan nor Oda Nobunaga felt that there was any need to continue the stalemate.
The two largest wealthy locals in the island country cannot afford to feed and drink 200,000 soldiers.
There are 200,000 people on the front line, and at least 400,000 to 500,000 people are needed behind the scenes to maintain logistical supplies. Since we don’t want to fight, we should demobilize the people early and go home to harvest.
Under the compromise of the two masters of Shiba Oda, the negotiations on the division of territory were temporarily shelved and discussed later, and the basic terms for the restoration of peace between the two parties were first determined.
Oda Nobunaga took the initiative to admit his mistakes, saying that in the process of crossing the river by touching stones, some policies were not perfect and hurt the feelings of the Wu family group.
After that, the Oda family would change their family policies, gradually improve them from the simple to the deep, and stop harming the interests of the Wu family group.
Regardless of whether Oda Nobunaga will keep his word in the future, at least at this time, he can make the powerful Oda family with three million koku bow his head, and make the surly and arrogant Oda Nobunaga submissive. Yoshigan Shiba has won.
Oda Nobunaga gave him face, so Yoshigan Shiba naturally wanted to reciprocate the favor.
Yoshigan Shiba highly praised Oda Nobunaga's statement that no one is a saint and no one can make mistakes. As long as he knows his mistakes and is willing to correct them, he will be a good name for the samurai family.
Yoshihiro Shiba changed his previous fierce attitude towards the Oda family and no longer pursued Nobunaga Oda for harming the interests of the samurai group. He avoided past mistakes and saved others, showing the tolerance and magnanimity of a saint.
The two sides agreed to cease fighting and withdraw their troops first, and then discuss the border demarcation later.
On the front foot, Mitsuhide Akechi and Nagahide Niwa had just reported back to their lord and pressed the seal on the letter. On the other hand, the troops of both sides, who had no intention of fighting for a long time, quickly retreated, each going back to his home to look for his mother.
Yoshihiro Saba returned to Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga went to Azuchi Castle, and subsequent negotiations will continue in Fushimi Castle south of Kyoto.
Fushimi Castle is the gateway to the southern suburbs of Kyoto and is now under the control of the Shiba family.
The Oda family occupies the Sakamoto-Kusatsu line, and heavily guards the southern gateway to and from Yamashiro Province from Omi Province.
Sakamoto Castle passes through Otani and is the southern suburbs of Kyoto. Although the Shiba family occupies Fushimi Castle, the Oda family is not weak in this area.
The location of Fushimi Castle happened to be a negotiation location acceptable to both the Shiba and Oda families. It showed that they were evenly matched and was conducive to equal exchanges between both parties.
Just when Yoshigan returned to Kyoto, new news came from Azuchi Castle.
Oda Nobunaga and her husband, Nobunaga, officially reconciled. Nobunaga then became a monk and practiced Buddhism, and has not been concerned with worldly affairs since then.
Oda Nobunaga acted decisively, which made Mitsuhide Akechi, who followed Yoshigan back to Kyoto, a little frustrated.
