Ii Naomasa nodded, the saint's words were indeed correct.
The thirteen companies that came to participate in the SPBA Fed meeting all sent their own representatives, and not one of them had a godly mother present.
From the very beginning, everyone knew that the enactment of this system would definitely be ugly, so the most basic decency was that the mother of the gods would not come forward and let the people below do the embarrassing things.
Takasaka Masanobu of the Takeda family, Naoe Kanetsugu of the Uesugi family, and Hanzawa Naoyoshi of the Yuigahama family.
There are also elites from the Hojo family, the Shima family, the Hosokawa family, the Akechi family, the Ryomaeda family, the Nizi family, the Sanada family, the Takada family, the Date family, and so on.
The thirteen Shiba Goddess families all sent their core ministers, including old ladies like Maeda Toshihisa who rolled up their sleeves and personally fought for their daughter's benefit.
Each company was working hard, with representatives arguing during the day, and at night going back to find the team behind them to review gains and losses, and continue arguing the next day.
With this situation, not to mention five days, not even fifty days, we may not be able to complete all the regulations.
But the more they behave like this, the more Yiyin feels at ease.
Behind the emphasis on the meeting is the will of the saint that the thirteen Shiba Goddess families have completely obeyed.
The quarrel is fierce, but the intention is to reach an agreement.
The louder the quarrel, the more it shows that everyone has no plans to overturn the situation, and is willing to form a system within the rules, complete political transactions, and truly unite.
The unity of the gods is the best news for Yiyin, so he knows that everyone is trying their best to show off to him and reassure him, and he is happy to see the results.
Shaking his head, Yoshigan asked Ii Naomasa.
"You have a lot of things to do now, so you came all the way to see me, didn't you just want to complain to me about how noisy they are?"
Naomasa Ii said with a serious face.
"Sage, the latest news has come from Kyushu."
Yiyin smiled bitterly.
"Judging from your appearance, it shouldn't be good news. Tell me, I'm mentally prepared."
Ii Naomasa said solemnly.
"At the beginning of spring, Hideyoshi Ichijo officially accepted Otomo Yoshizhen's request for help, and launched the Kyushu expedition on the grounds that the four Shimazu sisters disobeyed Kyushu's peace order and started a war.
An army was divided into two groups and launched an attack from two directions.
One group was led by Ichijo Hideyoshi, and the other was headed by Ichijo Hideyoshi's sister Hideyoshi. Together they landed on Kyushu and attacked the Shimadzu family, which already occupied most of Kyushu Island.
The Mori clan of the Western Kingdom sent Kobayakawa Takakage, and Shikoku Chosogabu Motochi personally led the troops, and both sent troops to support Ichijo Hideyoshi.
Kyushu Island local, Otomo Yoshizhen and his important minister Tachibana Munege actively welcomed Hideyoshi Ichijo to Kyushu Island.
As for the Ryuzoji family, Nabeshima Naoshige, an important minister, opposed the public opinion and prevented the family from surrendering to Shimazu, and sent troops to participate in Ichijo Hideyoshi's subjugation of Shimazu.
Hideyoshi Ichijo gathered 100,000 troops, known to the outside world as 200,000, and attacked Shimadzu territory.
The Shimadzu family knew that their strength was far inferior to that of Hideyoshi Ichijo, so they had completely retreated to Southern Kyushu in an attempt to block a large army on the front line of Hyuga Kingdom.
In addition, the Shimazu family’s envoy has arrived at Sakai Port and wants to go to Luo to meet the saint. The Shimazu family is willing to surrender to the Shiba family in exchange for the Shiba family’s help.”
Yiyin sneered.
"If you don't surrender early or late, you come here when your family fortune is in pieces, are you treating me like a fool?"
Naomasa Ii said.
"This move by the four Shimazu sisters is indeed utilitarian, but for our Shiba family, it is also an opportunity to intervene in the affairs of Kyushu Island."
Yoshigan glanced at Ii Naomasa, pointed at the noise on the other side of the wall, and said calmly.
"You can't bite off more than you can chew. Let's take care of the family matters first and then talk about it."
Seeing that Yoshigan had no intention of accepting the Shimazu family, Ii Naomasa became a little anxious and bowed.
"The sage clearly knows that Ichijo Hideyoshi sent troops this time, and every family in Oda's old territory actually accepted her mobilization obediently.
The Maori family, the eldest clan member of my clan, also took things from me and took them away, without even the slightest hint of disobedience.
In just a few years, Ichijo Hideyoshi has successfully integrated half of Kinki, Saigoku, and Shikoku Islands. If she is allowed to take Kyushu Island again, I am afraid that the situation will be extremely difficult to control and the consequences will be endless!
Your Majesty knows that the reform and restructuring of our Sibo family is closely related, but our eyes cannot only be fixed on the inside, but we must also look at the enemies outside, as the enemies will not sit still and wait to be killed!"
Yoshigan looked at the excited Ii Naomasa and remained silent.
He can explain clearly to Akechi Mitsuhide, but it is difficult for him to explain clearly to Ii Naomasa.
He planned to give half of the unstable island country to Ichijo Hideyoshi and force Ichijo Hideyoshi to land on the peninsula in exchange for the Chinese Empire paying attention to him.
Ichijo Hideyoshi seems to be powerful, but the old leader of Oda, Saigoku Mori, Shikoku Chosogabu, Kyushu Otomo, Ryuzoji, and Shimazu are all not good enemies.
It is difficult for Ichijo Hideyoshi to truly surrender to them, and the Ichijo retainers also need more benefits to consolidate their loyalty.
Before he was sure of going east to compete with Shiba Yoshigan, Ichijo Hideyoshi could only set his sights further west and find ways to increase his strength.
Ryukyu in the southwest was too small, and only the southeastern part of the peninsula in the northwest had fertile land, facing Kyushu Island across the sea. This was an expansion direction that Hideyoshi had no choice.
Yoshigan must force Hideyoshi to land on the peninsula. Only if Hideyoshi's presence on the peninsula threatens China's Bohai Bay, Yoshigan is qualified to be a dog for China.
Don't think that it's easy to be a dog for China. If you don't have enough value, China won't even bother to look at you, let alone hope to reopen the exploration and cooperation trade.
Yi Bank cannot discuss these strategic plans with Naomasa Ii.
Ii Naomasa is still too young and is not an old slut like Akechi Mitsuhide. She can only be a knife in the hands of the Yoshi Bank and a vanguard of restructuring and reform.
Yoshihiro would not pay attention to the Shimazu family's pleas. Ichijo Hideyoshi must enter Kyushu Island. This is a strategic plan.
Looking at Ii Naomasa, Yoshigan asked.
"Do you think Ichijo Hideyoshi is a threat? Can she threaten me?"
Ii Naomasa was at a loss for words. No matter how he answered such politically correct remarks, he would be wrong. We can't say that the saint is arrogant and should be careful about capsizing in the gutter, right?
Yoshigan was not prepared to let Naomasa Ii continue to defend himself, so he pulled Naomasa Ii into his arms and spoke in her ear.
"If you have time to worry about Ichijo Hideyoshi, why not think more about your own belly.
I heard that Ii Naotora is extremely anxious, and the Ii family's envoy has sent you a lot of supplements.
You and I have stolen half a day, so let’s work hard today.”
Ii Naomasa was full of serious things, but he didn't expect the saint to be so unserious, so he suddenly blushed.
She twisted and tried to push the saint away, but her body was so weak that she had no strength. The saint's breath blew into her ears as he spoke in her ear, and the blood rushed all the way to the base of her ears, which were also red.
Yoshigan didn't want Naomasa Ii to come back to his senses again, so he picked her up quickly and turned around and entered the room.
After a while, a heart-wrenching moan came from the room, like a cat meowing. As for the Shimazu envoy who was still waiting for news at Sakai Port, the owner of the cry had long ago completely forgotten about him.
