Chapter 248 Worry

 With the status of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Miyoshi Nagakei, they only need to set the tone for negotiations.

The rest of the specific matters will be handled by subordinates such as Wada Weimasa and Iwanari Tomomichi.

They are leaders and decide the strategic direction.

The specific sphere of influence, the withdrawal time, and the buffer zone will have people fighting over them.

You can't let the big bosses get into a fight and it's degrading.

Only in the end, if the armistice agreement that will be reached is reviewed by them and approved, the negotiation will be completed.

But even if the oaths are exchanged, it can take as little as half a year or as long as two years, and there will inevitably be trouble again.

It wasn't who broke the agreement, but the armistice was set for such a long time.

The Wu family was rewarded by the public and had the greatest military exploits. How could it be possible to suspend the war for a long time?

When the little girl at home grows up for another two years, she can go into battle as a Ji warrior.

Wait for one or two more crops to be harvested from the fields, and some customs and business taxes will be accumulated, and then we can continue to fight.

After the Yatsushiro Shogun Rebellion, the shogunate declined day by day and gradually became unable to control the daimyo of various places.

The arms race is becoming more and more severe, and the martial artists are miserable and dare not slack off.

If you accumulate strength and prepare for war, you will be impoverished. If you relax your military power, you will be in danger of annihilation.

The order of the Wu family society is constantly collapsing, and the troubled times are forcing everyone to struggle step by step into sinking, heading towards even more unbearable chaos.

Yoshigan has no time to think about these long-term matters. What he needs to consider now is the writing of the garrison at Sakai Port.

When Mitsuhide Akechi mentioned this, he was confused.

"Isn't there Takada Harano in charge of Sakai Port?"

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.

"Takada Yono is a businessman of the Shiba family. After the war, with the rise of the Shiba family, her power will inevitably increase.

If she is given the written status of Sakai Port Garrison, then she will not only be responsible for Owari, but also the business operations of the Shiba family in recent days.

It also has a military deterrent effect on the merchants of Sakai Port, and it has too much power."

The gateway to Japan's foreign trade is Kitakyushu, but Sakai Port is an important trading port for Ming domestic products in Japan.

In the Ming Dynasty, silk, cotton, porcelain, ferry money and even sandalwood used in Buddhism were all extremely profitable commodities.

With the rise of the Shiba family, Takada Yono not only had the trading power of the Shiba family, but was also able to participate in the import and export trade of Sakai Port merchants.

Who will supervise the logistics and cash flow in her hands?

Money moves people's hearts, but absolute power leads to absolute corruption.

Although the Takada sisters are not Hime warriors who can go into battle, they are the only generational retainers of the Shiba family and are Yoshigan's confidants.

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't want Takada Yono to accept the test of human nature in the face of the huge power he suddenly gained.

This is also to protect the Takada family and help Yiyin maintain its situation.

Although the Shiba family had territory, they did not have any generational retainers to manage it.

If this problem is not handled well, big trouble will happen in the future.

As the only generational retainers of the Shiba family, the Takada family would be a good help if they could maintain the family's business.

Therefore, we cannot take it lightly and let this support be annihilated by human greed.

Yoshigan could not explain to Akechi Mitsuhide that the identities of the Takada sisters as Samurai Himes were fake. This was a secret they shared with Yoshigan.

No matter what happens to future generations, at least Harano Yukino's loyalty to Yoshigan will never change.

If the Takada family is restless, all Yoshigan needs to do is reveal their civilian identities, which will be enough to knock them down.

With Yiyin's current prestige, the matter of forging retainers cannot shake his status, but the Takada sisters are in trouble.

In this world, the difference between civilians and warriors is like the difference between humans and pigs and dogs. Warrior Ji does not regard civilians as human beings at all.

If his identity is exposed, the Takada family will be doomed.

What's more, Yoshigan understands the attachment of the Takada sisters to him.

With feelings and a handle, how could they betray themselves?

For the businessman's money, betraying the Shiba family who gave them status and rights? Are you crazy!

Yoshigan felt that Mitsuhide Akechi always thought too bad of people, but for a while, he couldn't find a reason to refute Mitsuhide Akechi, so he asked.

"Who do you think is suitable to go to Sakai Port?"

"Fujibayashi Masabao."

Yiyin looked at her in surprise.

"Mahoho Fujibayashi?"

Akechi Mitsuhide said slightly warily.

"She stayed in Iga for too long.

It is said that after the army went out, Fujibayashi Masabao lived in seclusion and was completely indifferent to the war.

This is so strange. When she took the lead in the team, she could be said to have a discerning eye.

However, he later surrendered the Fujibayashi family's control of the military power in Kitaiga and showed no concern for the victory or defeat of the army.

This is not what a martial artist should do, and I'm afraid she has other intentions.

My lord, you have to be on guard."

Yoshigami laughed bitterly after hearing this, Fujibayashi Masabao had long been killed by the assassination of the third husband of Momochi.

Now she is disguised by the assassin Guo Xin, so she certainly doesn't look like a martial artist.

Even though her appearance is exactly the same, how can Guo Xin, a witch like her, have the patience to play the role of a good housekeeper all the time? She lives in seclusion just to be lazy.

Now her abnormality has aroused Akechi Mitsuhide's wariness, which is normal.

But Yiyin had a headache, wondering whether Guo Xin should tell the truth to Akechi Mitsuhide.

If the truth is told, then Guo Xin betrayed Bai Di San Taifu in exchange for sex.

Do you want to say it?

If told, would it damage Yiyin's own character?

Akechi Mitsuhide has a surly temperament, and Yoshigan doesn't know how she will react after learning the truth.

He really didn't dare to say anything to this sinister woman who was always smiling!

Yoshihiro's hesitation caused Akechi Mitsuhide to misunderstand.

she said.

"My lord, even if you trust Takada Haruno and are willing to hand over all business power to her, that's fine.

It's just that Fujibayashi Masabao must leave Iga, and the incident at Sakai Port can be used as a reasonable excuse to transfer her out.

She is one of the three jounin of Iga and has a great reputation as a virtuous warrior. I am still a little worried.

It would be best to send her far away to Sakai Port, and it will be safe once the nationalization of Iga is completed."

Akechi Mitsuhide was more worried about Fujibayashi Shoho than Takada Harano's corruption.

The Wu family attaches great importance to business only to expand their armaments, and they look down upon the merchants themselves.

Takada Yono controlled the business power of the family, which seemed to be very powerful, but in fact it was just that the Hime warriors did not have this ambition.

However, Fujibayashi Masabao is one of the leaders of Iga. She stays calm in Iga and doesn't know what she is doing secretly.

Akechi Mitsuhide has regarded Iga as a taboo of the Shiba family, so how could he not be wary of her?

Yiyin shook his head helplessly.

Akechi Mitsuhide is doing things according to the rules. If he doesn't support it, it will inevitably make this smart man think more and more wrongly.

Just support her.

"I understand.

I will order Masahori Fujibayashi to come to Iimoriyama Castle to see me and grant her the position of Sakai Minato Shibazhong in person.

In addition, I will take Sister Fujibayashi to Iimoriyama Castle to meet her, with two legitimate daughters as hostages, so I won’t worry about her being uneasy about doing things.

You will keep an eye on the negotiations for me in the shogunate army and control the Iga army.

I will bring Fujibayashi Masabao over after the meeting, and then we will make arrangements for the Sakai Port Shiba people."

Yiyin wanted to leave Akechi Mitsuhide in the Kafu army aside and go back to Iimori Mountain Castle to make peace with Guo Xin.

Bringing the Fujibayashi twin girls there also means a showdown.

The murder of Fujibayashi Shoho will be exposed sooner or later. It is better to handle it properly earlier to avoid civil strife among the Iga people.

Although Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know what her master and Fujibayashi Masabasu were secretly talking about, as a qualified subordinate, she didn't ask.

As long as the general direction is correct, she won't point out the details and make her boss resentful.

The Shiba family is the Lord's Shiba family, and his decision is the Tianxian of the Shiba family.
