Chapter six hundred and fiftieth chapters have their own plans
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
If you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy. Strong love will lead to dry bones in the grave.
But her expression froze and her smile froze. After making arrangements, she was killed by Nizi Shengjiu.
I don't know whether it was because of being reminded by Hosokawa Fujitaka, or because I had long had doubts about Mitsuhide Akechi. In recent times, Nizi Katsuhisa, who is in charge of housework, has been strictly suppressing dissent.
Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't insert the needle, couldn't pour the water, and there was absolutely nothing he could do.
Nizi Katsuhisa is fair and strict in dealing with things, and Maeda Benefit, Takada Haruno and others all want to give her some face.
With her mediation, the big bosses in the recent weeks were finally able to sit down and work together to ensure the peace of the territory.
This was supposed to be the situation that Shiba Yiyin wanted to see, but it was not conducive to Akechi Mitsuhide's plan.
This guy is really difficult to deal with.
Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a while and decided to give up on blasting the Shiba family and turned his attention to Kyoto, where he had strong influence.
She said softly to Fujibayashi Xing.
"I hope that in a few days, a nursery rhyme will be spread throughout Kyoto."
Fujibayashi Xing said dumbly.
"Nursery rhymes?"
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and nodded.
The candlelight flickered, and her beauty dimmed and appeared in the light and dark. Her singing voice suddenly sounded in the silent room, echoing in the room in an ethereal way.
"A good retainer builds up the family business and enjoys good relationships with superiors and subordinates. However, the important ministers of Sibo do not get along with each other."
She sang it three times before stopping and asking.
"Did you hear that clearly?"
Not only did Fujibayashi Xing hear it clearly, but she also understood it, and it even sent chills down her spine.
She stammered and wanted to say something, but when she looked up and saw Akechi Mitsuhide's warm eyes, she became speechless.
"Go and do some work."
Fujibayashi Anzu bowed to the ground and then ran out of the room as if she was escaping. Akechi Mitsuhide looked at her back with a trace of mockery in his eyes.
What an idiot. These white gloves are useless. Sooner or later, you will have to throw them away and replace them.
She sighed.
If it weren't for Nizi Shengjiu's strict precautions against deadlocks, she wouldn't have used this strategy. If she couldn't blast it internally, she would have to rely on external force.
If Shiba's ministers don't get along, then what are they waiting for? General, what do you think?

In Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide secretly wanted to cause trouble. But in this boring autumn, others were not idle either.
In Iga country, after the autumn harvest, Maeda invited Otani Yoshitsugi to his residence to discuss military matters. Her mother, Toshihisa Maeda, was sitting with her.
The two parties exchanged greetings for a while and observed the tea master's tea art in the tea room. Then they retreated to drink tea and chat.
Looking at Yoshitsugi Otani, who had his head covered and only his eyes exposed, Maeda expressed concern.
"Otani-hime, has your skin been bad lately?"
Otani Yoshitsugi said helplessly.
"That's it. After autumn, the weather becomes dry and much more comfortable."
Maeda shook his head.
"When winter comes and there will be less trouble, you can go to the hot springs to recuperate more. I will be watching over you at home, so it will be fine."
Otani Yoshitsugi nodded in agreement.
She is now a high-level martial artist with status, and is no longer the poor girl in Otani Village back then. Some enjoyment and treatment are not a problem.
"Maeda-hime, why did you call me here this time?"
Maeda Yoshikatsu glanced sideways at his mother and said to Otani Yoshitsugi.
"There is indeed something, and I hope to get Otani-hime's support.
I want to take advantage of the quiet autumn and winter to sort out the military service accounts in Iga.
In recent years, the military service accounts of the Sibo family have been too chaotic, which is not conducive to mobilization. Once a war breaks out, I, the general of the Sibo family, can't even understand the military situation at hand. Wouldn't it be a big problem?
I want to start rectifying things in Iga first and sort out the recent military service accounts. What do you think?"
Maeda and her daughter both looked at Yoshitsugi Otani, looking down at her in deep thought.
This matter was actually suggested by Toshihisa Maeda.
With the Owari samurai family entering Iga country in large numbers, the rule of the Iga Maeda family in Yuye has been stabilized. Now that the basics are stable, Maeda Rihisa began to plan for the future of his daughter.
She was cunning and cunning, and this method of sorting out the military service accounts was within the scope of Maeda's interests, and no one could make a mistake.
Yoshihiro Shiba was too hasty to leave Konkyu, so he reluctantly assigned housework, military power, and diplomacy to Nizi Katsuhisa, Maeda Benefit, and Akechi Mitsuhide.
Among the three parties, Maeda, who seems to have military power, has the strongest interests, but this is not the case.
What Shiba Yiyin needs is recent stability, relying on uniting the shogunate and local powerful factions to deter foreign vassals, and preventing major incidents before his return.
After the failure of the Rokkaku family's Omi Northern Expedition, Kondo has indeed entered the stable period hoped for by Shiba Yigen, but this also limits the power of Maeda's interests.
Without fighting, how could she expand her prestige and power in recent weeks?
Akechi Mitsuhide has the Nakado Group, Nizi Katsuhisa has the Yagyu Group, and even Takada Harano of Sakai Port is secretly recruiting wild samurai.
Only Maeda's interests are trapped in the Iga Basin and do nothing due to restrictions on their authority.
For this reason, Maeda Riku began to think about how to help his daughter gain greater power and improve the strength of the Iga Maeda family.
Her entry point was one of General Spo's powers, military mobilization.
The three most important powers in the hands of the ruler are personnel power, financial power, and military power.
The personnel power is definitely in the hands of Shiba Yiyin. Before he left, he had planned the rights of all parties. This is an unshakable rule of the game.
Nizi Shengjiu was in charge of housework, land tax, business taxes, and other incomes, and she controlled the financial power.
Where is the military power of Maeda's interests reflected? Is it just wartime command power? Does it include military service account? This part of vague power is what Maeda Toshihisa hopes his daughter will fight for.
In recent years, when the Sputnik Territory was founded, most of the land was allocated to Maeda's interests based on the situation created by Sputnik. Akechi was brilliant, the island was fierce, and Nizi was a party in the mountains.
Afterwards, Yoshigan Shiba went to Kanto and took away Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuki. In order to ensure the stability of the Shiba Territory in recent years, he also continued to take away the Iga clan and the Peking University Kazu clan, causing chaos in the military service account.
As the general-in-chief, Maeda Yoshida didn't know how many people he had under his command and how many troops he could mobilize in each territory. This was unreasonable.
Therefore, she said that she wanted to rectify the military service account and control the mobilization power of the Sibo Territory in recent years. No one could make a mistake.
The most important thing is that the policy designed by Maeda Toshihisa to help Maeda's interests is to rectify the situation in Iga first. In this way, it will temporarily avoid Beida and the territory and avoid friction with Nizi Katsuhisa.
No one likes others to put their hands in their pockets. Peking University's Spo material is in the hands of Yidang and Dao Shengmeng in Nizishan.
Now that Shima Katsuo has gone to Kanto, and Nizi Katsuhisa is in charge of the housework, why should the Iga Maeda family bother them. If they have to eat in one bite, their first target is Akechi Mitsuhide.
Iga is divided into three parts. Maeda's interests account for the majority, but he cannot do whatever he wants. Minami Iga has Otani Yoshitsugi, and northern Iga is in the hands of Akechi Mitsuhide, making the three parties a powerful force.
In order to force Mitsuhide Akechi to accept the rectification of the military service account and extend his hand into her territory, he must first obtain the support of Yoshitsugi Otani.
Therefore, Maeda Interests invited Otani Yoshitsugi to discuss the matter.
