After putting his thoughts away, Rijiu sighed and said to Yangno.
"We must be more careful at home from now on. His Majesty Oda may be wary of his master."
After listening to Riku's words, Harano's heart tightened. The relationship between the Maeda family in Owari was intricate, and there was always some way to know something secret.
"Rikyu-sama should be more detailed. I don't understand why Yoshigan-sama is proud outside but the Shiba family feels sad in Owari."
Lijiu also felt frustrated and said.
"After all, the Shiba family is the nominal master of Owari Kingdom. Even if the master's Shiba family is not recognized by the samurai family, it is because women are inferior to men, which is due to gender.
Now, as the Lord's reputation is gradually rising, His Majesty Oda has to worry about his identity as the legitimate son of the Shiba clan."
The preparations for this Northern Expedition are sufficient, and the samurai all believe that Oda Nobunaga will win. So who can be rewarded with great benefits depends on how His Highness Oda balances the power in the family.
Logically speaking, the Naochen Regiment should win the majority. Naoomi is the foundation of Oda Nobunaga's rule in Owari. Taking advantage of the annexation of Owari, strengthening the territories of Nobunaga's direct leadership and the Naoomi Regiment will help stabilize Nobunaga.
's rule.
However, as direct ministers, the Shiba family and the Maeda family were not even recruited, and they were not even given a chance to make meritorious deeds.
It can be seen to what extent Oda Nobunaga was afraid of Yoshigami Shiba.
After explaining all this in detail to the Takada sisters, Yangono's face became more and more ugly, while Yukino on the side remained indifferent.
Yang Na thought for a while and said to Riku.
"Lord Rikyu, if you say so, the Shiba family will be suppressed by His Highness Oda Nobunaga in the Three Thousand Stone Territory from now on, and will have no chance to make meritorious deeds?"
"Unless Her Highness's territory expands to the point where she feels she can tolerate the Lord, the Shiba family will not have any chance to expand.
I have received news that His Majesty Oda has left His Majesty in Kyoto as an envoy to contact the shogunate. This is obviously idle.
From the perspective of people in the Kyoto shogunate, Owari is a rural place, and there is nothing else to communicate with other than donating money to the shogunate."
Riku was also sad. Not only the Shiba family, but the Maeda family was also implicated. Maeda Toshiro was so anxious at home that when she went home to ask, she was scolded bloody.
Takada Yono looked at his sister, gritted his teeth and thought about it again and again, before he made up his mind and said to Riku.
"Lord Riku, I have an idea."
"you say."
"I want to go to Beijing."
"Um???"
Lijiu thought she was out of control and wanted to go to the capital for help, but seeing her calm face and clear eyes, he asked.
"what are you thinking."
Yang Nai said as he thought.
"Master Rijiu has already taken care of the family affairs, so there is no need for me to interfere.
The sugar sales in the surrounding areas cannot be increased. If the amount is increased, the kings of various countries will definitely target them.
Since His Highness Oda won't give us a chance to get ahead, the ashgaru at home is enough. The ashigaru family members are also familiar with the making of sugar, so there is no need for me to watch.
So, I want to go to Kyoto.
There have been wars in recent years, and your lord is now well-known. His Majesty Oda is difficult to deal with. Is the shogunate in the capital easy to deal with? Maybe they will go into battle.
Since there is no place for me to use myself at home, I will go to Kyoto to see the trade routes. If possible, I would also like to go to Sakai Port.
Sakai Port is a gathering place for merchants from all over the world. Only when Bai Tang arrives there can he escape the prying eyes of martial arts families from various countries and be able to do some good business.
I don’t ask for anything else, I just want to make more money and food for Lord Yiyin to use, so that you don’t have to worry about some stuff these days.”
It sounded reasonable to Rijiu, but he felt it was ridiculous.
"You are the Lord's acting officer who stayed in Shiba Territory. What will happen to the territory if you leave like this? You really believe in me. This is three thousand dan. I am not afraid that my surname will be Maeda in the future."
Yang Nai smiled slightly.
"I've finally seen it through. Master Yiyin doesn't care about this little territory at all, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous and gave half of it to Ji Yi.
Since your Excellency is interested in all directions and looks down upon these three thousand stones, how can I, Takada Harano, care about it?
I have been Lord Yiyin's eagle dog all my life, and all I want is a few caresses from you in your spare time.
Take this territory if you want it, Rikyu-sama, Yoshigan-sama is determined to revive the Shiba family, if your magnanimity is only this, then you really cannot live up to your discernment."
Li Jia laughed loudly after hearing this.
Before, Yi Yin made an oath of seven hardships and eight hardships. Although everyone admired him, no one thought he could do it.
And now? Even His Highness Oda is wary. He is such a strange man from the samurai family. How can he not make Rikyu, the Girihime samurai, feel excited?
"Don't provoke me with your words. I, Riku Maeda, will protect the territory of the Shiba family. However, I am disgusted by His Highness Oda and chased away. I am a person who cannot stand up to the public. Who are you planning to keep from the outside world? Could it be..."
Riku looked at Yukino Takada, and Yono shook his head.
"Yukino wants to go to Kyoto with me."
Are you kidding me, I can hardly suppress this sister in Owari. If I leave her to find Lord Yoshigan alone, God knows what this cold-blooded and cold-hearted Battosai can do.
Yukino was listening to the two people talking silently, and then she spoke.
"I dont go."
Yang Nao looked at her in surprise.
"You don't want to go to Mr. Yiyin? Have you changed your gender?"
"I just beat the swordsmanship dojos in three counties, and there are still five counties I haven't beaten yet. As you said, I can go to Yoshigan-sama after I beat all the swordsmanship halls in Owari. You have to keep your word."
Yangno's face turned pale with anger. If he couldn't defeat this cold-faced sister, he would have wanted to tear her face off and tear her to pieces.
Although he was introverted in the early years, he was not so cold and rigid. I don’t know how he became like this after practicing swordsmanship. He seemed to be unable to turn around and only accepted death.
“Fight, fight, fight, you know how to fight!
Do you know how many Wu family members have been beating around the bush these days to help people, begging for a way out?
Are you not going to let go of the entire Owari sword hall? Can the Shiba family still survive in Owari?"
Most of the martial arts family likes swordsmanship, so there are naturally many friends who open sword schools. Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, so it is okay to compete.
But like Yukino, who fights one by one and sweeps away one county after another, is this a competition? Is this a slap in the face, or is it trampling on the face with countless feet?
It's easy to hide with open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. When you finish the fight, you will have to build up many grudges secretly. I, Takada Haruno, can't do it even after I'm convinced, I'm willing to take you to Beijing, and you still use my previous words to try to bully me.
.
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me to Beijing."
Yukino raised his head and glanced at his furious sister, thought for a moment, and nodded silently.
Yang Nai just felt a little angry. Being angry at this piece of wood would only hurt her body.
He turned around and continued talking to Lijiu.
"As for the acting governor of the Shiba family territory, I would like to ask Lord Toshiie Maeda for help."
"Lee family?"
Riku was stunned. The Toshi family was imprisoned in Atsuta Shrine for half a year by His Majesty Oda. Now it is said that the confinement has been lifted.
Although the Maeda family is not trusted by His Highness Oda, the Maeda Toshiie family is an exception. After all, they are members of the Wild Child Group who grew up together and are the writing staff of the Konoe Mother Clothes. They will definitely participate in the war this time.
"Toshiie,...are you really determined to make Shiba the leader become the Maeda leader?"
Riku almost laughed in anger.
I have already brought many people from the Maeda family here. If the Toshi family agrees to be the acting official, they will definitely bring more people. Then aren’t the skills of the Shiba family all from the Maeda family?
I'm sorry that the Maeda family is showing off to your Shiba family. You are very generous.
