"I have asked Xiuchang to go to Kyoto with a lot of money, and I must find a good doctor for you and come back."

Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.

"It's an old problem. I used to cough. But in the past two years, as I've gotten older, my cough has gotten worse. I've long been used to it.

Your Majesty seems to be very troubled because you don’t talk about me, why?”

Hideyoshi Hashiba sighed.

"Shibata Katsuie-sama is really favored and valued by the palace. I didn't expect that she would be able to marry the Lord of the City and also receive 400,000 koku from Echizen Province.

Don't laugh at me, I'm a little jealous, remembering that I was granted the title of 120,000 shi in the north of Omi, and I was still complacent, but now..."

Hashiba Hideyoshi sighed, Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.

"Why did the Lord say this?

Who wouldn't be envious of Shibata Katsuie-sama's great kindness? This is also human nature.

It’s just that I think this generous reward from the main hall is not easy to get, and Shibata-sama should know that, he is forcing her to use her old skills to fight for it.”

Hideyoshi Hashiba narrowed his eyes.

"How do you say this?"

Takenaka Shigeharu analyzed.

"Nearly half a million koku from the eight counties of Echizen Kingdom, Asakura's old ministers have been wiped out. The shivering Asakura Kageki of Tsuruga County is left in the main hall, but he ignores it, and gives more than 400,000 koku from the remaining seven counties to Shibata Katsuie

.

The intention was to let Shibata-sama block the Kwantung Allied Forces, and use Asakura Kageki as bait to lure Tsutado-don to go north in advance and defeat him in a battle.

The Kwantung Allied Forces are by no means friendly to others. Lord Shibata has been favored by the main hall and has become a member of the Oda clan.

Even if she didn't want to in her heart, she could only use her full energy to defend Echizen Country and fight against the Kwantung Allied Forces.

You think about it, the Oda Shiba family is inextricably linked, especially the samurai family of the four counties of Shimohara, who least want to go to war with the Shiba family.

Lord Shibata is the leader of the Owari Military Shogun Faction and has a very important position.

She stationed the elite of the Owari faction and took advantage of the main hall. Now, the Owari faction must do their best and can no longer just do things half-heartedly."

Hashiba Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and sighed that Oda Nobunaga was great.

Yoshigan Shiba was born in the four counties of Owari. His important ministers, the Maeda Toshi family and the Maeda interests, not only had close contacts with the Owari samurai family, but even the retainers were fellow villagers drawn from Owari.

In addition, Takada Haruno was also born in Owari, and he has been guiding the Owari samurai to go to Sakai Port to buy and buy things like Shiba Real Estate, Hokurikudo stocks, and the Owari samurai have spent a lot of money.

At this moment, Shiba Oda is starting a war. The last thing the Oda family wants is the old samurai from Shimo-Owari.

These people are old members of the Shiba family, and they have a lot of strength in their hands. If they are on both sides of the fence and wait and see, at least 30% of the Oda family's strength will not be able to be used.

Oda Nobunaga obviously understood this truth, so she sent the Owari generals headed by Shibata Katsuie to Echizen Country.

To give men territory was to force the Owari generals to defend Echizen country and fight against the westward advancing Kanto Allied Forces.

Shibata Katsuie also had troubles that he couldn't express.

As the leading eldest sister, she has a large group of little girls under her command who are waiting for support. Many times, she cannot do things by herself.

Oda Nobunaga seemed to have generously given 400,000 stone to Chiyuki land, but it was impossible for all of these lands to be given to Shibata Katsuie alone. They must have been allocated to the Hime Samurai Corps of the Owari generals.

With Oda Nobunaga's control over the Owari samurai family, it is inevitable that a group of people will be given to Shibata Katsuie, which will weaken Shibata Katsuie's control.

Shibata Katsuie was called the Lord of Echizen, but in fact all his subordinates were Oda retainers.

After everyone has gained the territory, they must defend it with all their strength. Even if Shibata Katsuie owns real estate in the Shiba family and buys stocks, he will never be soft on the Kwantung Allied Forces.

The land of 400,000 koku in the seven counties of Echizen Kingdom is enough to make the middle and lower class samurai who want to know what they want to do go crazy, no matter what.
