Yoshihiro told the truth, but Mitsuhide Akechi thought that he was trapped in having no soldiers and wanted to serve the public.
"That's not necessarily the case, there are still some military forces available. Sir Nizi, you are new to Sibo, why don't you think about it for the Lord?"
Akechi Mitsuhide This is Kauniko Katsuhisa.
She has always been proud and arrogant, and she had to endure hardships in order to ensure a smooth battle for Shiba Yiyin. However, she was still narrow-minded and couldn't help but give Nizi Katsuhisa a push.
Nizi Shengjiu smiled gently.
Akechi Mitsuhide, a counselor with a dark mentality who likes to use small tricks, is too lazy to care and does not want to offend. At this time, she thought about the forces around Kyoto and began to think about it.
Yoshihiro was also curious about Mitsuhide Akechi and asked.
"Could it be the Omi people?"
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.
"This time the Three Good Eternal Celebrations are very powerful, and there will be many soldiers coming with great force.
The troops sent by the Rokkaku and Asai families will definitely be reunited by the shogunate army to resist Miyoshi Chokei's offensive on the Hanoi front line, and they will definitely not bring Yamato to the Lord."
Yoshigami touched his head. He only had Omi's prestige in recent times. If he went to other places to become familiar, he would be treated favorably. But when it came to borrowing troops, who would give him a thumbs up?
Nizi Shengjiu thought for a long time, raised his head and asked.
"What does Akechi-sama mean? Iga country?"
"Exactly."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded with satisfaction.
Thinking of Iga country, this boy Katsuhisa is indeed worthy of me bowing my head and admitting my mistake.
"Iga country? Iga people? Why are they willing to lend me troops to fight the war?"
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"I just said there are troops available. When did you say you wanted to borrow troops?"
Yiyin stagnates.
Akechi Mitsuhide started to play this trick again, and turned around helplessly to look at Nizi Katsuhisa. Fortunately, he had a backup adviser now, unlike before when he had to be played like a monkey.
Nizi Shengjiu smiled and said.
"If my guess is correct, Akechi-sama's intention is to ask the Lord to go up to the general and ask for the guardianship of Iga Kingdom."
"The Guardian of Iga Country?"
Yiyin murmured to himself that he actually still didn't want to go. But it felt like it was getting worse. He wouldn't really let them bring out a team of people.
Akechi Mitsuhide said.
"The guardian of Iga country is the Hitoshi family, and the current governor is Hitoshi Yoshimasa.
There was a turmoil in Iga Country very early. The Hattori family, a native of the country, acquired most of Iga Country's territory, while the Niki family's territory was just a few villages near the edge of Yamashiro Country.
The stone height of Iga country is about 100,000 stones. If the Lord can obtain the guardian of Iga country and then seize the real power in the country, that will be the starting point for the revival of the Shiba family."
Speaking excitedly, Mitsuhide Akechi clenched his fists.
Looking at her excitement, as well as Maeda Benefit, Toudo Takatora and others who had been infected by her, Yoshigage helplessly shook his head.
"Why should the Iga guardian Niki family give me the guardianship? Even if I get the guardianship, why should the people of Iga listen to me? Why are the Hattori family willing to hand over their rule?"
Akechi Mitsuhide and Nizi Katsuhisa looked at each other, and Nizi Katsuhisa shook his head.
She is actually not familiar with Akechi Mitsuhide in recent years.
Just based on what Akechi Mitsuhide said, I guessed several countries in the past, and I felt that Iga country was the most suitable for Akechi Mitsuhide's plan.
As for how she planned to let the Shiba family take over Iga, Nizi Katsuhisa didn't know.
Seeing that Ni Zisheng remained silent for a long time, Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said to Yoshigan.
"The Nimu family has lost Iga country for many years, and now they have no idea about Iga.
If the Lord coordinates through the general and agrees to win Iga, the territory of the villages of the Nimu family will be guaranteed to be safe.
I believe that the Niki family is still willing to give the duty of guardianship to the Shiba family and form a good relationship."
The guardians of various countries have proposed the rights of acting guardians. Yoshigan came to the capital for the first time through the position of guardian of Owari of the Shiba clan, and asked for the guardianship of Oda Nobunaga.
As long as the Nimu family is willing, it's not a big problem to get a guardian. But what happens if you get it?
What Yoshigan couldn't figure out was this, so he looked at Akechi Mitsuhide with questioning eyes and listened to her continue.
"My lord, do you know why the Iga clan became a ninja clan? They have to travel to various countries to assassinate people, collect information for reference by the samurai family, and risk their lives for a meager reward."
"Poor."
Yiyin blurted out without thinking.
Back in Owari, he was so poor that he couldn't afford to raise a few soldiers in his territory of 1,500 koku. You had to raise them. Otherwise, when the war breaks out and there are no troops, neither the master nor the enemy will let you go.
"No matter how small Iga is, it is still a territory with a hundred thousand shi. Moreover, by expelling the guardians in one move, the army, food and service were all saved.
Why do the Iga clan compete with the Koga clan in Minamiomi for such a despised thing as assassination?
The Koga clan's territory is in a mountainous area, so they are extremely poor and have no choice."
Yiyin was also confused and nodded.
"Yes, Iga still has some fields, why is it like this?"
Akechi Mitsuhide replied.
"When the Iga people drove away the Niki family, the Iga country was declared a traitor by the shogunate and was sealed off."
Yiyin somewhat understood.
"Iga Country has been sealed off for so many years and has not been able to enjoy the prosperous business of recent times.
Moreover, the shogunate was still strong at that time, so naturally there would be no merchants to deal with them, and there would be no trade routes.
So, prices in Iga country have collapsed?”
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Yoshigage in admiration. The Lord's vision was really sharp. It took her a long time to understand the plight of Iga country.
Yiyin is not very discerning, he just remembered the three fat countries in his previous life.
After the big country behind it fell apart, it was hostile to the global hegemon and was unable to join the new economic system. Even if the country was rich in resources, it could only cling to its golden mountains and suffer poverty.
This Iga country offended the shogunate when it was strong, so it was naturally different from the current Kii country.
The people of Kii Country can still rely on the Miyoshi family's Sakai Port transaction to obtain supplies.
This is also the reason why the Miyoshi family can hire them to fight. If they offend the shogunate and then offend the Miyoshi family, how can the people of Kii country continue to play in the recent big families?
But Iga is miserable, it has been killed by the shogunate.
To survive, people need more than just food. Salt for eating, cloth to keep out the cold, and iron for making farm tools are all in short supply.
Just thinking about it makes me realize how miserable the people of Iga country are. In a territory of 100,000 koku, there must be 40,000 to 50,000 people. These people’s daily necessities are not just a little or two.
Some supplies can also be purchased from merchant towns in various places. If the quantity is large, the local samurai family must approve it, otherwise it will not even be shipped out.
Iga is also inland, and the surrounding territories are all strong areas of the shogunate. In order to survive in recent years, it must have been squeezed by samurai families from all over the world.
At this moment, I am probably so regretful that my intestines are turning blue. I kneel down and lick the shogunate and return to the recent big families. I feel stronger than anyone else.
"Then why don't they come to ask the shogunate for mercy? Now as long as they are loyal to the shogunate, Lord Gongfang will forget the past."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was extremely poor, so a new force came to him at this time, and of course he was pardoned.
Yiyin couldn't figure out why this opportunity was left until now, allowing him to take advantage.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at him with a strange expression.
"My lord, who will tell the general about this?"
Yiyin casually wanted to name a few ministers, but suddenly couldn't say them out.
Damn it, I was almost tortured to death by these ministers for something like the imperial family system that has not yet seen results.
The confederation of Iga country has allowed surrounding samurai families to earn high transfer fees for many years. Anyone who mentions this to the general will not be hacked to death by these ministers.
Iga and Ise are separated by mountains, and roads are connected to mountain castles, Minami Omi, and Yamato. Most of these border areas are the territory of the shogunate.
Taking someone's money is like killing your parents, Yoshigami glared at Akechi Mitsuhide.
That's what you said. Why don't you do this next time? Find another way to find soldiers. The ministers will kill me.
