Hisatsuna Tatehara is the patriarch of Nizi's family, the aunt of Yukimori Yamanaka, and the most important right-hand man of Nizi Katsuhisa.
Even she was asking if the Maori family should work harder. What else could Nizi Katsuhisa do except smile bitterly?
Akechi Mitsuhide's instigation was so successful this time. Nizi Katsuhisa, the peacemaker, was already very powerless just to suppress the excitement within the group, and he had no energy to pay attention to Akechi Mitsuhide's small actions.
To put it bluntly, if the Oda family and the Mori family were to fight tomorrow, Mitsuhide Akechi would trick the Shiba family into helping them fight.
The most cheering supporters within the Kinki Shiba Territory may not be the main war faction of Maeda's interest group, but Nizi's old tribe under Katsuhisa Niko, the peace faction.
Nizi Katsuhisa glanced at Tatehara Hisatsuna helplessly and advised.
"Don't talk to Mitsuhide Akechi from now on. She has ulterior motives."
Tachihara Hisatsuna bowed.
"Your Highness, Akechi Mitsuhide does have her own purpose in doing things, but what she said makes sense to our Nizi family.
The saint is so majestic that everyone in the Kinki region bows down to him. His unruly Lord Oda also bows his head at Fushimi Castle and is willing to cooperate with the Shiba family.
Not to mention the Guandong side, the prestige of the saints is at its peak, and it is only a matter of time before the Guandong Palace unifies them.
Today, the Shiba family has the potential to seize the world, and the Mori family is seeking death by coercing the Ashikaga shogun and resisting.
Our Nizi old party endured the humiliation and finally waited for this day, why can't we fight back and open the way back to the Western Kingdom?"
Nizi Shengjiu was speechless for a moment.
What Tatehara Hisatsuna said is true, Akechi Mitsuhide has his own goals, but the Nizi Mountain Party also has desires. It is really one who is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
The Mori family relies on the general's self-respect to fight against the trend of Shiba Oda joining forces to unify the world, which is seeking death. As the ronin of the Western Kingdom, why can't Nizi's old party use this shareholder style to fight back to their hometown?
Nizi Shengjiu sighed.
“The great plans of the world can only be made by the sage.
Akechi Mitsuhide does not do his duty well, and goes beyond his duties, traveling around for the Oda family, inciting the sentiments of the Kinki people, and has an impure mind. You should not be instigated by her.
Maori Yuan is a generation of heroes who left behind the Maori family's legacy of ten countries. If we want to regain the Nizi family's old territory, we have to take a long-term approach."
Tachihara Hisatsuna said with a sad smile.
"For long term consideration...for long term consideration...Sir, how long has it been since we left the Western Kingdom?
It has been more than ten years, and I am already an old woman who is half buried in the earth. If I continue to think about it for a long time, I am afraid that I will never see the scenery of my hometown again, and I will never hear the local accent of my hometown.
I have been dreaming in the past few years, and even the fragrance of rice from my hometown that I smell in my dreams is so real.
I'm so scared. One day I won't be able to open my eyes anymore and I will die in this foreign country.
Maori Yuan is already dead, what are you still worried about? Even if she is still alive, what ability does she have to resist the saint's heavenly soldiers?
Who is the wisest general in the Western Kingdom? Bah!
Mourimoto bounced back and forth between the Ouchi family and the Nizi family for thirty years before reluctantly annexing Aki Kokuzhong.
If His Highness Nizi Qingjiu hadn't died of illness, and if Tao Qingxian hadn't rebelled against civil strife, would her Maori family be able to get involved in the overlord of the Western Kingdom?
She is just a repeat villain with extremely good luck. Why do you, Your Highness, increase the prestige of the Maori family and destroy the morale of my Nizi family?"
Nizi Shengjiu sighed.
"No matter how unconvinced you are, Maori Yuan can unify the Western Kingdom as a member of the small nation of Aki and achieve the hegemony of the Maori family. She is awesome.
The Ouchi family and the Nizi family have all gone by the wayside. The grand ambitions and hegemony back then have long since evaporated. There is nothing to remember today.
Don't forget, I am a descendant of the Shingu Party. Nizi Harujiu killed my grandmother and mother and threw me into Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto to become a nun.
The hegemony of the Nizi family has withered, but what I hate most may not be Maori Motonari."
Tachihara Hisatsuna sighed and remained silent.
The Shingong Party was an elite martial arts group belonging to the Nizi family. It was wiped out due to political disagreements between the leader Nizi Kunijiu and the family governor Nizi Harujiu.
Nizi Shengjiu is the orphan of Nizi Kunjiu's lineage. He escaped the disaster of destroying his family and was thrown to Kyoto to become a monk. He has been away from family disputes ever since.
Nizi Harujiu wanted to have sole power and direct control over Izumo Country, so he attacked the Shingu Party who controlled Nishi Izumo, and actually wiped out one of his most elite members.
But she herself died of a sudden illness, leaving Nizi's family in a mess, and ended up getting a profit of just one yuan.
The successor of Nizi Haruhisa surrendered to the Mori family and gave up the Nizi family's hegemony. Unwilling loyal ministers went to Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto to ask Nizi Katsuhisa to succeed the family governor and revive the Nizi family.
Back then, Yoshigan Shiba was staying at Tofukuji Temple and met Yamanaka Yukimori and Nizi Katsuhisa by chance. It was when Yamanaka Yukimori was sent by his aunt Tatehara Hisatsuna to persuade Nizi Katsuhisa to return to secular life and become a monk.
To this day, Tatehara Hisatsuna is still bitter about the fact that Motori Moton destroyed Nizi's family. Nizi Katsuhisa wants to ask, how does Nizi Haruhisa kill the Shingu party and cut off his own arm?
In the final analysis, the Nizi family was seeking their own death. They had constant internal strife and disunity, so they gave Mao Liyuan the opportunity. They seized the opportunity. Do you have the nerve to scold them for being opportunistic?
Tachihara Hisatsuna was silent for a while, bowed and said.
"Things in the past, whether we were right or wrong, are no longer important. What is important is the opportunity in front of us!"
Nizi Shengjiu shook the document in his hand and sighed.
"Do you know what information I just received?
Araki Murashi ran away. Knowing that the Oda family was unstoppable, this guy actually ran to the Mori family territory alone.
His Highness Oda became furious because of this and executed all thirty-six of Araki Murashige's core retainers. The Araki family's supporters in Settsu Kingdom were wiped out.
Akechi Mitsuhide won. She helped His Highness Oda build momentum and suppressed all the families in the Western Kinki region. Araki Village was left alone and helpless, so it had no choice but to rush westward.
The Oda Army has already captured Settsu Province and will soon begin their attack on Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
The envoys of the Mori family were disgraced and accomplished nothing, but instead accelerated the expansion of the Oda family.
Akechi Mitsuhide personally went to Kii Country to find Suzuki Shigehide. As long as the mercenaries like Zaga Zhong did not send troops to assist, Ishiyama Honganji Temple would be in trouble.
The nuns of the Yixiang Sect can fight each other fine, but battle formations are not the nuns' strong point. Without the help of the people, even with Shishan's solid defense line, they will not be able to hold out for long.
I heard that Mitsuhide Akechi also invited Takaichi Hosokawa from Izumi Province, probably to cut off the foreign aid of the Mori family and trap Ishiyama.
Look, just when Mitsuhide Akechi incited you to tie my hands and feet, she had already done so many things for the Oda family.
The Fushimi Castle system established by the saint not only cooperated with the Oda family, but also restricted His Highness Oda's actions.
However, Mitsuhide Akechi is now desperately helping the Oda family expand, completely living up to the saint's original intention of establishing the Fushimi Castle system.
The Oda family easily captured Settsu and Ishiyama, and their power increased greatly. With Her Highness Oda's greed, she will definitely send her troops to the west and continue to conquer the Western Kingdom.
The Maori family says that they are the overlord of the Western Kingdom with ten kingdoms, but you and I know the situation of the Western Kingdom very well.
Mourimoto himself said that the Mouri family had no confidence to fail. They lost the first war and lost five countries, the second world war and retreated to Anyi, and the third war and the family business was destroyed.
The overlords of the Ten Kingdoms, haha, the Western Kingdom has more mountains and less land, and the total stone height of the Ten Kingdoms combined is not as high as the two countries of Owari and Mino.
If not for their reliance on mines and foreign trade, what qualifications would the Maori family have to compete with His Highness Oda?
Akechi Mitsuhide helped His Highness Oda clear the way and reduce the casualties. The Oda family can attack the Mori family from the west in full condition. What about the Shiba family?
You people were incited by Akechi Mitsuhide and cheered for her, but what happened? She used your trust to help the Oda family clear obstacles and help the Oda family conquer the Western Kingdom.
Oda-sama has such a big appetite. If she didn't experience setbacks, would she have thought of sharing a piece of the pie with the Shiba family? She would have eaten alone!
I’m telling you, your impatience was exploited by Akechi Mitsuhide, and you are still speaking for her. It’s really... you were betrayed and you are still counting money for her!"
Nizi Katsuhisa felt depressed, Akechi Mitsuhide was not a good person, and she must be unkind to her treating Oda Nobunaga so diligently.
People like Tachihara Hisatsuna were also homesick and completely confused. They were incited by Akechi Mitsuhide's few words.
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't promise anything, and Oda Nobunaga didn't even pay attention to the appeals of Niko's old party. These fools yelled for others in vain, and nothing good came of it.
Tachihara Hisatsuna was stunned again and again.
"This...this...this..."
Nizi Shengjiu sighed.
"What the hell, the only thing we can rely on is the saint! Her Majesty Oda is not our lord. If you cheer for her, she won't share the benefits with you!
Only when the saint speaks out and allows us and the old nuns to return to their homeland and fight for the righteousness of the world is the real time for us to go home!
You, you guys, no matter how anxious you are, you must stay calm. Mitsuhide Akechi has never thought of helping you, and His Highness Oda has never taken you seriously.
