Talking about Akechi Mitsuhide, he was too ruthless, Hosokawa Fujitaka was too smooth. But Yoshigan was able to live his life in a way that no one knew.
He has no ambitions. He doesn't want to do a big career, nor does he want to leave some legacy for future generations. He just wants to live a good life.
But some people can't get what they ask for, and some people have no choice but to make progress. Family members and outsiders pull and pull, forcing him to go to the battlefield.
He was trying to liven up his reputation by fighting for the revival of the Shiba family. He just boasted about his awesomeness, and now his awesomeness became more and more powerful.
Imperial Palace, in front of the general's palace.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru looked at Hitoshi Yoshimasa who was lying on the ground to plead guilty. He wanted to get angry, but there was no use other than showing his own incompetence.
He glanced at Hosokawa Fujitaka and Shiba Yoshigan, who were meeting together, and groaned.
When the shogunate came to such a land, she was just a tinker, and she would fix any leaks first. Sooner or later, the house would collapse, and there was nothing she could do to save it.
Are you saying that ministers are nothing but local powerful factions?
At the beginning, the Hosokawa clan was a powerful local sect, a family of shoguns who guarded the four countries. In the end, they did not want to go to Kyoto to seize the position of leader of the shogunate and vacate the shoguns.
If the Hosokawa clan and the Ashikaga clan hadn't fought so hard that both sides suffered losses, how could the Miyoshi clan have risen to dominate the shogunate.
Even as an enemy of the Wu family, the general had to appoint Miyoshi Changqing as his imperial minister, which was a great shame and humiliation.
The shogunate now has ten pots and eight lids. If the shogunate is covered, he cannot cover the local powerful faction. If the local powerful faction is covered, he cannot cover the Wu family.
What's even scarier is that the lids are getting less and less.
At the beginning, the Ashikaga family could rely on imperial materials from various places to replenish military supplies and establish a powerful shogunate army to deter the world.
When the imperial palace was completely eroded by samurai families from all over the country, the glory of the general was barely supported by the donations from samurai families from all over the country, the maintenance of the shogunate ministers, and the loyalty of local powerful factions.
Now, the shogunate is in a state of decay, the local powerful factions have suffered heavy losses, and the samurai families from all over the world are increasingly looking down upon the shogun.
This is beneficial to the world and must be completed.
Hosokawa Fujitaka and Shiba Yoshigan brought Niki Yoshimasa to expose the nonsense in Iga country. Did Ashikaga Yoshiteru not understand what it meant?
The ministers are unreliable. General, you have to rely on our local strength.
The Izumi-Hosokawa family is a powerful local faction. The Shiba family wants to become a powerful local faction, but the general has to watch the local powerful faction grow bigger?
The main culprit for the embarrassment of the shogunate today is the Hosokawa clan of Shikoku, the direct branch of the Hosokawa family. There are not two Hosokawas in one sentence.
As for the Shiba family taking over Iga country, she had no choice but to do it.
The Miyoshi family's Juga army in Kii Country was unstoppable, and she had no other choice but to believe that Yoshigoshi Shiba could help her stop it.
But Sibo Yiyin didn’t have any soldiers, so what could he use to fight the war?
You have no choice but others have found a way for you. This Iga guardian must not only provide, but also fully support all subsequent matters.
If there are any future troubles, we can wait until we have passed the Miyoshi family. Anyway, Ashikaga Yoshiteru doesn't care about the lice anymore.
Moreover, Yoshigan Shiba was a man, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru couldn't help but think of his father's persuasion. Perhaps, he should really marry him back.
As long as Shiba Yoshiyin can block Shiga Issun this time, then the Iga Kingdom's 100,000 Stones will definitely become the territory of the Shiba family.
If Ashikaga and Shiba marry, Yoshigan Shiba will not only have his personal reputation for bravery but also be attributed to Ashikaga Shogun.
His men, Owari's three thousand koku, Omi's ten thousand koku, and Iga's one hundred thousand koku, will also help support the Ashikaga family.
The Spozong family has died.
The current Shiba family refers to one person, Shiba Yoshigan. If you marry him, you can get everything in the Shiba family. Such great benefits even made Ashikaga Shogun excited.
Since you can't rely on anyone, you can only rely on yourself and your husband.
"From today onwards, the Niki family will be deprived of their position as guardian of Iga Country. Yoshigan-kun, you will take over."
Having made up his mind, Ashikaga Yoshiteru decided to fully support Yoshihiro Saba's rise to power. As for the rest, we will wait until the battle is over. If he loses, there is no need to talk.
"Thank you, General."
Yiyin sighed inwardly and bowed down to thank him. He still couldn't escape and had to fight this battle. If so, let's fight.
After leaving the imperial palace, the three of them said goodbye and went their separate ways. The waiting Yoshitsugi Otani was about to go back with Yoshigan Shiba, but was stopped by Fujitaka Hosokawa.
"Shiba Gozen."
Yiyin looked back at her and saw that her face was uncertain, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Master Hosokawa, is there anything else?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka said.
"I'm going back to Izumi soon. This battle is dangerous, so please take care of yourself, Imperial Majesty Shiba, and wish you good luck in martial arts."
Yiyin smiled generously.
"You too. Izumi is in a critical position on the front line, so please be more careful. We will meet again after the war."
Hosokawa Fujitaka looked at him with a sentence stuck in his throat.
"treasure."
I like you.
Until Sibo Yiyin rode away, she could not say anything. She looked at his retreating back and was speechless.
The next day, before Yoshigan Shiba took over as the guardian of Iga, news came from Settsu.
Sanhao Changqing announced that he would go to Luo Kyoto and meet with the general.
Immediately, Ashikaga Yoshiki accused Miyoshi Nagakei of gathering the military strength of the six countries of Shikoku, Awaji, and Settsu, and ordered her to disband her troops before going to Luo.
The three good people in Changqing refused to listen, and the troops were divided and went to Beijing.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru deprived Miyoshi of her status as a companion of the Chokei Imperial Palace, calling her an enemy of the samurai family.
In recent times, military chaos has recurred, and the world has turned its attention.
Miyoshi Changqing led an army from Jin to Hanoi, the second sister Miyoshi Yoshihide took Jin to Tanba, the third sister Anzhai Fuyang landed at Izumi from Awaji, and the fourth sister Tokawa Icun entered Yamato from Kii.
Three Good Sisters and Four Sisters divided their troops into four groups and entered the vicinity.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru led the shogunate army into Hanoi to support Takamasa, the governor of the Hatakeyama family, Fujitaka, the young master of the Izumi-Hosokawa family, guarded Kishiwada Castle, Harumichi, the governor of the Tamba Hatano family, guarded Yagami Castle, and Junkei, the governor of the Yamato Tsutsui family, guarded Tsutsui Castle.
War is about to break out.
Tofukuji Temple, in front of Shiba Yi Ginza.
On the table is the certificate of guardianship of Iga Kingdom that was just issued by the shogunate.
The war was tense, and the ministers no longer wanted to entangle, and they got it smoothly.
The concubines and warriors under the seat were ready to attack, and they all looked at him with warm eyes.
Yoshigami sighed, and was finally dragged aboard the shogunate's broken ship. Now that he was on the ship, he was too lazy to be pretentious. If he wanted to fight, he had to win.
"Akechi Mitsuhide, you will go to battle with the general's main formation. If you have any questions, please send an envoy to contact me."
"Yes, my lord."
"Otani Yoshitsugi, you are my flag guard."
"Yes, my lord."
"Maeda Benefit, Toudo Takatora, and Yamanaka Yukimori, you will approach the flag for me."
"Yes, my lord."
"Yes, Shiba Gozen."
"The nun will win for a long time, and he will serve the army faithfully."
"Yes, Shiba Gozen."
"I will go to Iga Country tomorrow. Whether I can win this battle depends on whether those people are afraid of poverty or not."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru gave him exclusive power, and he made the final decision on how to deal with Iga country.
When the Shiba clan was destroyed, Yoshigan's legitimate son's status was embarrassing. Without his legitimate daughter, the Shiba family could still be considered an Owari guardian.
But now, with Iga's real protection, as long as this battle is won, the Shiba family will be revived.
