"Xiao Xiji, you and I are old acquaintances, you know me well, and I am very sincere in coming this time.
Logically speaking, the Urakami family owes a lot to the Ukita family, but I can't stand many of the practices of the Ukita Nao family.
But I understand her difficulty. After all, the Uki family is at the forefront of the battle in Mouriura. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
I can understand why the Uki family betrayed the Urakami family and took refuge with the Mori family in order to protect themselves.
But now, the biggest threat to the Ukita family, the Bichuzo Sanmura family, has been wiped out by the Ukita Nao family and the Mori family.
Will Mr. Ukita Nao continue to seek skin from tigers, get involved with the rebels of the Maori family, and die for the Maori family?"
President Konishi bowed.
"Hashiba-sama, it's not that our master intends to betray the Urakami family and collude with the Mori family, it's just...this is the order of General Ashikaga.
The Uki family cannot disrespect Mr. Gongfang, and please forgive His Majesty Oda."
Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled slightly, Ukita Naoya is really a smart person, she made a good excuse.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a destitute general and impoverished official, sought refuge in the territory of the Mori family.
The Mori family thought that the rare goods could be a good place to live, so they used Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Tomon shogunate in Bingo country to open a new government, which the world called the Tomon shogunate.
On the Kyoto side, because of the presence of Yoshigan Shiba, the conflict between Oda Nobunaga and the samurai family of the shogunate did not intensify to an uncontrollable situation.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's unauthorized departure from the capital not only did not take away the authority of the Ashikaga shogun, but actually benefited Yoshikage Shiba.
The Ashikaga clan's close friends, the Ashikaga clan, were suffering from hunger and cold, and they all turned to the saint. The samurai of the shogunate were all doing their jobs, and the center of Kyoto was actually in an orderly manner. It was the same New Year whether there was a general or not.
The Shiba family firmly controlled the Kyoto shogunate and had been claiming to the outside world that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was kidnapped by the Maori family on their way to the west. This gave the Shiba and Oda families the right to join forces to attack the Maori family.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Tomon Shogunate is rapidly becoming a political negative asset for the Maori family, and the Maori family cannot get rid of it.
The Mori family is now a rebel party that held the shogun hostage under the propaganda of the Kyoto shogunate. If Ashikaga Yoshiaki is abandoned at this time, Kyoto will not only not let the Mori family go, but will actually be found guilty.
Look, look, the Maori family has a guilty conscience, and they are indeed rebels against the party! Don’t think that if you regret it, you are no longer a traitor. If you deserve to be beaten, you will be beaten!
No matter how false a political sign is, it is better than no sign at all, so the Maori family can only hold their noses and continue to use Ashikaga Yoshiaki's imperial orders to instruct all parties.
Some careerists just go along with the flow and achieve their ambitions in the name of respecting the general, and then push it aside completely afterwards. It's perfect.
The front lines of Bizen and Binchu are the front lines for every household in Akamatsuura to resist the invasion of Maori.
In terms of military affairs, it seems that the Mori family used the Bitchu Mimura family to invade Bizen, and the Ukami family's important ministers resisted the invasion, but behind the scenes there were alliances and conspiracies.
The Uki family finally betrayed the Urakami family and joined forces with the Mori family to kill the Mimura family and became the No. 1 tyrant in Bizen.
Not to mention the character of Ukita Naoie, Hideyoshi Hashiba was willing to take a gamble and win over this famous conspirator just because of the influence of this strategic location.
The Ukita Nao family had no choice but to betray the Urakami family because they obeyed the imperial orders of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a poor official. The shameless reason for joining forces with the Mori family also became a fig leaf for the two parties to negotiate peace.
Ukita Naoie dares to say it, and Hashiba Hideyoshi dares to believe it. As for the truth, who cares?
Hashiba Hideyoshi sighed.
"Your Majesty the Ukita Nao family is confused. The Maori rebels have evil intentions. They hijacked the general and established a new central government. Their disobedience has long been obvious.
How could she be so foolish and loyal that she actually believed the lies that went against the party and did stupid things that pleased her relatives and enemies."
President Konishi said with a sad face.
"My Highness also came to his senses afterwards and regretted his actions, but he could not find the right way to return.
Today, Mr. Yu Chai has come with kindness and kindness. The Yuxi family will definitely follow your lead and no one dares to disobey."
A trace of astonishment flashed in Hashiba Hideyoshi's eyes. She did not expect that before she could convince the other party, President Konishi would climb up the pole on his own.
After all, the Uki family are also famous names of the samurai family who have great influence in Bizen and Bizhong. As for taking the initiative to get involved? Are the conditions not discussed?
Little did Hashiba Hideyoshi know that the Ukita Nao family also had its own difficulties, and her health was no longer good.
Ukita Nao's family wandered when he was young, which caused many diseases. In recent years, he has devoted all his energy to maintaining the family business, and has been exhausted.
She has always been sinister in her actions, just like the old saying goes, she is the kind of bastard who has no eyes for giving birth to a daughter.
Now everyone is afraid of her as a powerful conspirator, so they don't dare to take action, but if she dies... her young daughter may really have no penis.
Behind Konishi's contacts with the Oda family over the years was the tacit approval of the Ukita Nao family, leaving him another way out.
The Ukita Nao family repeatedly jumped between the Urakami Mori family, and did not forget to wink at the distant Oda family. He was indeed a capable person.
But now, Ukita Naoie's health is deteriorating day by day, and Konishi Governor tries his best to praise Hashiba Hideyoshi's character and ability, which finally makes Ukita Naoie make up his mind.
That's why the scene before us happened.
Hashiba Hideyoshi thought that he was taking the initiative to win over the Ukita Nao family, but in fact it was the Ukita Nao family who had no choice but to turn to the Oda family and Hashiba Hideyoshi to find a way out for their daughter.
When it comes to changing families, the biggest fear is hesitation and hesitation.
Ukita Nao's team was top-notch, so he naturally knew that he should either do nothing or get it done in one step, so he simply surrendered to Oda without negotiating any conditions.
Hideyoshi Hashiba was overjoyed, and they hit it off immediately and had a drink together.
This time Hideyoshi came to Sakai Port with a gift package from Oda Nobunaga, and also to win over helpers for himself.
Hashiba Hideyoshi's background was too low, and he did not have much status when the Oda family conquered Owari Mino, so he could only be followed by his relatives and those appointed by Oda Nobunaga.
When we arrived at Kitaomi, we finally managed to win over a group of people, but now we have to voluntarily give up the territory.
Hashiba Hideyoshi's foundation was shallow. On the day when Oda Nobunaga changed his territory, how many of the Owari, Mino, and Omi people who followed her would be willing to come to the Western Kingdom to develop again?
Therefore, Hashiba Hideyoshi must reuse the local samurai from the Bizen Kingdom in Harima Province to enrich his own Hime Warriors.
Seeing the talents of Konishi Yukinaga and Kuroda Takataka, Hideyoshi had already fallen in love with talents and secretly thought about how to attract them to become Hashiba's retainers.
When it comes to winning over people, Hashiba Hideyoshi is very confident. Except for relatives of her husband Ning Jun, the rest of the Hashiba family are attracted by Hashiba Hideyoshi's personality and charm.
But when he thinks of his husband Ning Jun, Hideyoshi Hashiba has a headache.
The man didn't know what he was doing, but he wrote a letter to Oda Nobunaga complaining about his wife's cold treatment of him. Oda Nobunaga even wrote a special reply to scold Hashiba Hideyoshi for being a bald rat.
The unrest in Hideyoshi's inner court has become a joke among Oda's retainers. Mr. Ning would occasionally bring out Oda Nobunaga's letters to talk about it, which made Hideyoshi unable to hold his head up.
For Ning Jun, Hideyoshi Hashiba was both respectful and afraid.
She got her status as Samurai Hime by marrying into the Kinoshita family. Without Ningjun, there would be no Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and there would be no Hashiba Hideyoshi today.
Furthermore, Hideyoshi Hashiba came from a poor background, and the first people who followed him were children of Ning Jun's relatives. Those half-grown girls have now grown up to be Hashiba's ministers in their own right.
Whether it was out of gratitude or facing reality, Hideyoshi Hashiba could not dislike Ning Jun, a good wife.
But as Hashiba Hideyoshi's status rose, she no longer felt wet when she was with Ning Jun.
Ning Jun, who had been neglected for a long time, could not help feeling resentful no matter how virtuous he was, but Hideyoshi Hashiba just didn't feel it and couldn't get over it B.
Hashiba Hideyoshi actually had very low self-esteem. She climbed from a servant to her current high position. She despised the untouchables the most and loved the nobles the most.
If Hideyoshi Hashiba had feelings for what kind of man, it would naturally be someone like Yoshigoshi Shiba, who must have good looks, good temperament, and an unattainable noble family background.
When I think of him, my crotch pants become soaked.
As for a man like Ning Jun who comes from a lower-class samurai family, Hideyoshi Hashiba only respects him. But as a husband, does Ning Jun only need respect?
As time passed, the relationship between the two was reduced to treating each other as guests. Finally, the resentful Ning Jun exposed this bit of privacy in front of Oda Nobunaga's case, scaring Hideyoshi into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Oda Nobunaga didn't think too much, and she couldn't have known that Hashiba Hideyoshi secretly coveted Shiba Yoshiyoshi in his heart, but Hashiba Hideyoshi was still scared to the point of trembling with fear.
Hideyoshi Hashiba was entertaining guests and thinking about his own troubles, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside.
It seemed that he was stopped by the Hashiba family's Hime Samurai, and Tsuda Soki's voice came from outside.
"Master Yushiba, ladies and gentlemen, I have something urgent to report!"
Hideyoshi Hashiba looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba, who nodded, turned around and opened the door, signaling Tsuda Muneki to come over.
Tsuda Soji climbed up to the porch, kowtowed to the ground and said.
"There is an urgent report from Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and the Master has surrendered."
The expressions of all the ladies changed, so quickly?
———
At the Shinsengumi station not far from Tennoji House, Imai Munehisa hurried over and brought the latest news from Ishiyama to Takada Harano.
Takada Harano shook the information in his hand and chuckled.
"Akechi Mitsuhide is a good person and went to lobby in person. Honganji Kenjo is also a boneless person, so he agreed."
Imai Muneji sighed.
"Ishiyama Honganji Temple has all its foreign aid. The most elite believers, Zaga, do not participate in the war. The surrounding samurai families have declared neutrality. The only Maori family that wants to come in and get involved is blocked in the open sea.
Besieged on all sides, Guizhou Donkey has no skills. If we don't grasp the life-saving straw of Akechi Mitsuhide, the inheritance of Honganji Temple Master's lineage will really be ruined in Shishan.
Now that the two sides have reconciled, it can be considered a good result. At least the military disaster will be avoided, and Sakai Port will not be affected."
Takada Yono sneered.
"Reconciliation? What is the difference between reconciling on this condition and unconditional surrender?"
Honganji Temple withdrew from Ishiyama, and Master Mianyu went to Kii Province to live and preach in Saginori, calling on believers from all over the country to lay down their weapons and stop organizing and participating in any anti-Oda actions.
The great foundation of Ishiyama Honganji Temple was handed over to others, and the success of the Yixiang clan's eight-year struggle was ruined in one day.
The blood of the Mikawa Ichiku sect, the Nagashima Ichiku sect, the Omi Ichiku sect, and the Hokurikudo Ichiku sect were all shed in vain, as were those of the houkan followers who died under the butcher's knife of the Oda family.
Honganji Hianru is such a good person who knows how to assess the situation. I have tried to think of the worst possible outcome that Ichibuki might accept, but none of them were as perfect as hers.
It is said in heaven that meat-eaters are despicable, so I will not deceive you sincerely. The reputation of the Honganji family has been ruined, and the Dharma Master's appeal to the followers of the Ichijo sect is over.
The believers are still fighting hard, so why did the Dharma Lord surrender first? It’s really a shame.”
Imai Munehisa shook his head, but Takada Yono didn't look down on Honganji Kenryo so much.
Ishiyama Honganji Temple has been cut off from all foreign aid. Even if it persists for another year and a half, what's the point?
Nagashima has always learned from the past, and if she offends Oda Nobunaga, she will really raise the butcher's knife.
Instead of trusting Oda Nobunaga's promise and letting others take advantage of him when he is at the end of his rope.
It would be better to take advantage of Mitsuhide Akechi's arrival and use the reputation of the Kyoto shogunate and the Shiba family sage to guarantee that Tai will evacuate Ishiyama peacefully, safely and honorably.
Although Takada Harano said that it has not been easy to start a business in recent years, she has never experienced the pain of being cornered with the support of the giant Buddha of Shiba Yiyin.
Even if she is as arrogant and arrogant as she is, she will not understand that the Honganji Temple appears to be surrounded by confusion in her heart.
To put it bluntly, Honganji Xianru is a rich second generation. She can stand on top of her ancestral business and give orders. But if she is really asked to make a difficult choice of life and death, how can she have the courage to risk everything?
Besides, Kii Country is a good place to go.
Although Suzuki Shigehide, the leader of the Zahe clan, was unwilling to go to Stone Mountain to wade in the muddy waters, she had to protect the Dharma Master when he arrived in the Kii Kingdom.
With the strength of Zagazo, Suzuki Shigehide still holds the title of Kii's guardian, and coupled with the guarantee given by Akechi Mitsuhide on behalf of the Shiba family, Honganji Kianru's personal safety is definitely guaranteed.
Peacefully Kaicheng and leaving with his cronies is the best result that Honganji Xianru can get. As for the dissatisfaction and humiliation within the Yixiang Sect, how can his own wealth and life be more important?
Imai Munehisa thought for a while and said.
"Once Ishiyama Honganji Temple is surrendered, the Kaga Ichiku sect will have no reason to continue to persist, and the Oda family's territory will expand again."
Takada Yono said.
"You must have guessed correctly.
Before the heavy snow on Hokuriku Road closed the road, His Highness Uesugi had already returned to Kasugayama Castle in Echigo Province. The joint forces of the Noto, Vietnam and Chinese samurai forces had retreated to their bases, leaving Kaga Province empty.
Now is the coldest time in Hokurikudo, which is not conducive to large-scale military operations, so Shibata Katsuie's Echizen-Oda Army has not yet moved.
But when the news of the surrender of Ishiyama Honganji Temple spread, Kaga had no reason to persist anymore. Nanari Yorishu must surrender, and the Kaga country belonged to the Oda family.
With the six great powers of Owari, Mino, Ise, Omi, Echizen, and Settsu in hand, as well as the commercial resources of Ishiyama, His Highness Oda is already a true four-million-stone strong feudal clan, the most famous in the world."
