Chapter seven hundred and twenty-four Nobunaga asked to change
Compared with Maeda’s true intentions, Nizi Katsuhisa was more worried about how the general in Kyoto would react when he learned about this.
The civil strife around Rokkaku and Miyoshi was a good thing that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was ecstatic about. Maybe he was already sharpening his knife and preparing to cut his flesh.
Maeda's interest in helping Rokkaku and his daughter stabilize the family business will turn the general's half-doubt in the rumors about Shiba's retainers into hating and wary of the Shiba retainers.
Akechi Mitsuhide in Kyoto is not a worry either.
On the pretext of assisting the Hokuriku Road trade route, she coordinated with the shogun and Matsunagahide respectively, and helped Imai Munehisa obtain the Yodogawa concession.
Maybe Ashikaga General would be proud of his strategy of giving a date with a stick. But Nizi Katsuhisa knew very well that Akechi Mitsuhide secretly gave Takada Haruno a trick, asking her to donate money to Miyoshi Choitsu to pass the test.
What would she think if the general knew that the Shiba Shinsengumi was in conflict with the interests of the Miyoshi trio?
The Shiba Shinsengumi's mission in Sakai Port is to warn the Miyoshi family of another invasion of Koki. This is a naked betrayal by Takada Yono!
Nizi Katsuhisa didn't understand what Mitsuhide Akechi wanted to do?
She was submissive to General Ashikaga in Kyoto and did everything she wanted, but through Matsunaga Hide, she helped Takada Yono connect with the Miyoshi family, acting like a two-faced person on the outside.
On the surface, it was said that it was a helpless move to assist Kanto for the Hokuriku Road trade route. He also reported the matter to Nizi Katsuhisa, leaving her speechless.
This is the same trick as Maeda's interests, using the Shiba family's interests as an excuse to silence Katsuhisa Nizi and force her to hold her nose and admit her fault.
However, Mitsuhide Akechi had close contacts with Tsutsui Junkei, and the head of Kofukuji Temple had already written to Nizi Katsuhisa asking about the attitude of the Shiba family.
What can Nizi Shengjiu do?
Northern Yamato's original military strength followed Shima Katsuo to Kanto, and most of the young samurai were taken away. Due to the Minami-Omi War, a large amount of local financial resources were transferred to the Maeda interests of Iga.
If Katsuhisa Nizi hadn't used the name of Nizi's family to call on the old Western Kingdom troops to invest, and if Takada Yono of Sakai Port hadn't added money and food, Peking University and the territory would have collapsed long ago.
The Kanto Convoy and the Iga War were two major events. Peking University and Peking University only had a mere 100,000 stone territory. Can they withstand such a blood draw?
Even if Nizi Katsuhisa wants to help Kofukuji Nagasaki stand, does she have the strength to intimidate Tsutsui Junkei?
Maeda's interests were consolidated with military service accounts, almost stripping away the power of Iga country. Peking University and the territory could only barely support it due to the long-term loss of manpower and material resources.
Nizi Katsuhisa knew something was wrong, Akechi Mitsuhide, Maeda Benefit, and Takada Haruno were all trying to seize power intentionally or unintentionally.
Nizi Shengjiu could not wait to write a letter to complain to Shiba Yiyin and expose all the scandals of these people to his master.
Don’t you all like to pretend to be obedient, loyal ministers, and want to get married? I will tell the lord what your true face is like!
But then I thought about it, although these people did things in a shabby way, they still repeatedly jumped around the edges of their own power, and they could not find any crimes that really undermined the overall situation.
How can she file a lawsuit? Even if she files a lawsuit, what effect will it have?
If she only gets a few words of rebuke from the master, she will be reduced to a villain and hated by others. She will not be able to get along with her in the future, so she can mediate the relationship between all parties.
Kyoto, the Rokkaku family, the Miyoshi family, Kofukuji Temple, Nizi Katsuhisa always felt that some changes were slowly coming out of the cocoon.
But she was already unable to support Peking University and the territory, so what could she do? She put down the pen, threw away the paper, and closed her tired eyes.
No matter what, there's nothing I can do about it.
———
In Mino Country, Maeda Toshiie finally waited for Oda Nobunaga's call and came to Gifu City to meet the newly minted million-koku daimyo.
As the wife of Saito Nobunaga and recognized by the Mino samurai family, Oda Nobunaga entered Mino country in the name of revenge for his mother-in-law Saito Dozo.
What is ridiculous is that as a direct descendant of Saito Dosan, Saito Ryuuki was regarded as the remnant of Saito Yoshiryu and was hunted down.
Politics is such a fantasy. I wonder what Saito No-kun feels in his heart. Will he sympathize with this niece? It is also to preserve a trace of blood for the Saito family.
The Samurai family has been in the same country for a long time, and the blood relationship is complicated. The Akechi family, which was exterminated by Saito Yoshiryu, is also related to the Saito family.
The Akechi family surrendered to Saito Douzan, who married into the Saito family, and they were married. Akechi Mitsuhide and Saito No-kun were still cousins.
The world of the Wu family is a cruel world where blood from far and near kills each other.
Oda Nobunaga looked at Maeda Toshiie who was bowing respectfully with a smile, waved his hand and said.
"Get up, I heard what Quan Liu said, you are the one who helped her conquer Jianshan City. No need to be polite, you know I always value you.
Inuchiyo, you did not disappoint me."
Oda Nobunaga emphasized his tone and added the word "disappointment".
Maeda Toshiie kowtowed to the ground and squinted his eyes slightly, wondering what the unruly Oda family governor was thinking about.
"Don't take it seriously. His Majesty Oda is strategizing everything. I'm just a pawn charging into the battle."
Oda Nobunaga laughed and said.
"You have also learned how to say compliments. There is no need for this between us.
I called you here this time because of your heroic service to the public. I want to reward you, but I am a little embarrassed.
You know, Owari Shiba territory is under the name of Kenshin after all. I wonder if it would be inconvenient for me to change the territory?"
Oda Nobunaga spread his hands, seemingly helpless, but his eyes were fixed on Maeda Toshiie's reaction.
Maeda Toshiie raised his head and said decisively.
"Owari Shiba Territory is the territory of the Oda family's external domain. Of course His Highness Oda can change it."
"good!"
Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but laugh out loud, seeing Maeda Toshiie even more pleasing to the eye.
The issue of the Owari Shiba Territory is very complicated. The stone height is only more than 10,000, which is not a big number for Oda Nobunaga and Shiba Yoshigan. However, the political attributes of this territory are very special.
When the Shiba clan was exterminated, Shiba Yoshigan slept with Oda Nobunaga and forcibly tricked her. He took back the thousand and five stones from Shiba Ryosho that she was going to swallow in the form of a common people.
Afterwards, Yoshigoshi played an outstanding role in the Oda Civil War and was officially accepted as a direct minister by Oda Nobunaga, and was also awarded Okazama 1,500 stones.
Later, Shiba Yoshigan went to Luo, and he soared to the sky. Now Oda Nobunaga dare not mention that she had accepted Shiba Yoshigan as a direct minister, because this violated the principle of the guardianship system, using the humble to get the noble.
You can play whatever you want in the Owari countryside, but at the level of the shogunate, Oda Nobunaga doesn't want to cause trouble. She more wants to use the special characteristics of Owari's Shiba collar as a stepping stone to make friends with Yoshihiro.
Later, she also received a return gift from Shiba Yoshigan. She helped the Oda family broker a marriage covenant with the Kitanomi Asai family, and pried open a corner of the curtain on Oda Nobunaga's involvement in recent politics.
By this time, the usefulness of the Shiba family to Oda Nobunaga had become unclear, and the Owari Shiba collar had become a historical issue, a bit of a hot potato.
Maeda Toshiie performed well in Okehazama, so Oda Nobunaga simply followed the trend and gave her Okehazama Manseki Territory, making Owari Shiba Territory a buffer zone between Owari and Mikawa.
