Chapter 1555 The main battle lord and the main divergence again
Yoshihiro is well aware of the differences between Maeda's interests and Akechi Mitsuhide.
Maeda's interest is the main war faction, and of course he hopes to continue his efforts to overthrow the Oda family in one fell swoop. Akechi Mitsuhide is the peace faction, hoping to restore peace with the Oda family as soon as possible.
Yoshihiro's heart was inclined toward Akechi Mitsuhide, and Maeda's interests were very clear, so he used this victory to speak in the hope that Yoshihiro could change his tune.
It's a pity that Yoshihiro remained unmoved and still supported Mitsuhide Akechi. Maeda's interests were destined to be disappointed for two reasons.
First, although Oda Nobunaga suffered a defeat, the strength of the Oda family, backed by the profound foundation of the Nobi Plain, was still unparalleled in the world.
Defeating the Oda family once had already cost the Shiba family too much. Thinking of the two million koku military expenditures burned in this battle and the many Shiba troops who had to be rewarded after the war, Yoshihiro felt a headache.
This is just an economic account, and the military is not optimistic either.
If Yoshigan persists in fighting and pushes Oda Nobunaga to a dead end, it may be the result of forcing the dog to jump over the wall, hurting both sides, and allowing others to benefit.
Moreover, the foundation of Yiyin was still too weak. The Sibo family had almost no descendants. No matter how much land they acquired, they could not find their own people to occupy and digest it. In the end, outsiders were advantaged in vain.
After the Oda family was destroyed, several new samurai lords emerged on the original land. What difference does this make to the Shiba family?
Therefore, Yiyin has never had a strong desire to win new leaders. Instead, he likes to use his body to lure his subordinates to win over allies, so that he can digest the place with the blood of his descendants.
To sum up, the benefits of the Shiba family's defeat of the Oda family are far less than the risks, so Yoshigan is naturally unwilling to continue the fight.
Secondly, Oda Nobunaga also played a very important role in the politics of Yoshigan, which was to completely dismantle the righteousness of the Ashikaga Shogunate.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki is a powerless waste and the shogunate is already a crumbling mess, this last step of overthrowing the government cannot be done by Yoshigan.
Because Yoshigashi is an Ashikaga sect and a benevolent and righteous person, and now he is also covered in the holy cloak of the living god.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not be involved in the overthrow of the shogunate. It would be a huge political stain for him and would even affect the stability of the Spo world in the future.
Just like Li Shimin killed his brother and brother at Xuanwumen and seized the throne of the Tang Dynasty. Since then, the succession of thrones in the Tang Dynasty has always been under the shadow of bloody coups.
Yoshigami flaunts benevolence and morality. As an Ashikaga sect, he cannot commit crimes, and as a living god, he cannot show greed for worldly power.
The power of the world can be given to Yiyin by the martial arts family of the world, but it can never be obtained by Yiyin by clever means.
But if the dust is not swept away, it will not disappear automatically. Everyone likes power, but who is willing to give up the power in his hands unless he has no choice?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki will not leave on his own, and the Ashikaga Shogunate will not collapse on his own. Someone has to be the political villain to overthrow the Ashikaga world, and Oda Nobunaga is the best candidate.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki claimed to be a direct descendant of the Kawauchi Genji and was an orthodox Ashikaga shogun.
However, Oda Nobunaga is known as the elder of the Taira clan, which is equivalent to taking over the banner of the Genpei war, and once again threatens the political legitimacy of the direct descendants of the Genji clan in Kawachi as the pillars of the samurai family to dominate the world.
Oda Nobunaga was unwilling to be subordinated to others, and tried to establish Oda Gongyi on his own, and wanted to deprive the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi of their right to control the Hime Samurai. This was a political knot that could not be compromised or compromised.
If we say that Yoshigan Shiba could still be a man, he would have an affair with Oda Nobunaga, forming a new political ecology of the merger of Genpei.
Then, between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga, only one person can have the last laugh.
Either Ashikaga Yoshiaki gave up the dignity of Ashikaga Shogun and the Ashikaga Shogunate collapsed.
Either Oda Nobunaga gave up the illusion of Oda Gongki and surrendered to the Ashikaga Shogunate again.
There is no third way between these two people.
Just because Oda Nobunaga had enough strength to make Ashikaga Yoshiaki go away, and also had enough political demands to make the Ashikaga Shogunate disappear into the long river of history.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga can become the most useful white glove, helping the Shiba family complete a magnificent turn and seize the most important part of the world.
Akechi Mitsuhide therefore favored Oda Nobunaga very much, and even initiated political pimping deals such as the Genpei Convergence to trick Oda Nobunaga into taking action.
This Battle of Shiba Oda was actually a political accident.
If Yoshigan hadn't been so angry about his daughter, the Shiba family might have continued to bide their time and wait for Oda Nobunaga to overthrow the Ashikaga Shogunate.
But now, it is no longer realistic to hide one's strength and bide one's time.
After Shiba Yoshigan's victory over Oda Nobunaga, his political status will be further strengthened. His chastity memorial arch of the samurai family Yiri is likely to help the Ashikaga shogunate survive again, which is embarrassing.
At this time, the Shiba family needs to show mercy to the Oda family and not allow Oda Nobunaga to be completely defeated.
After defeating Oda Nobunaga, who still has the strength and appeal to help Yoshigage bring down the Ashikaga Shogunate and make Ashikaga Yoshiaki go away?
Oda Nobunaga's white gloves are rare. This is the most important reason why Akechi Mitsuhide always insists on restoring peace with the Oda family no matter how dangerous the war is. Yoshigan understands this very well.
Therefore, no matter how Maeda fights for his interests, Yi Bank will not pursue the victory, but will start to consider how to persuade all parties to successfully complete the post-war negotiations.
———
The Oda Army took the initiative to withdraw from the main battlefield of Yuwu, and the Shiba Army gradually disengaged, kept a distance, and watched the Oda Army retreat southward to Kinomoto.
Finally, Shiba's army occupied the mountain passes such as Higashinoyama and Iwasakiyama, opened the passage to the North Omi Plain, and stared at the south.
At this time, Yiyin had returned to the main camp in Xingshi Mountain to sort out post-war matters.
Strange to say, just after the Oda army withdrew from the battlefield, the continuous rainstorm stopped immediately. The blue sky and scorching sun in the sky were still as bright as before, which made the soldiers on the ground unbelievable.
If it weren't for the wet clothes on our bodies and the mud on the ground, everyone would even doubt whether this rainstorm really happened.
Because of this, Zhu Ji looked at Yiyin with even more awe.
If we say that Akechi Mitsuhide united with the Shingon sect, the Tendai sect, and the Ichigo sect to build momentum for Yoshiun's becoming a god, it was just a way to fool the middle and lower classes.
So by this time, even the upper-level high-level martial arts families began to become suspicious and had some faith in Yiyin's identity as a living god.
The invincible Shiba Yiyin has once again achieved a brilliant victory, continuing his undefeated legend, and even wearing the cloak of a miracle. It is really gratifying and congratulatory.
That night, I went to Shishan.
Yiyin's main formation was brightly lit, and the Ji warriors who had fought hard all day were still in high spirits and were arguing endlessly in front of him.
The main war faction headed by Maeda Yoshikoshi made an impassioned speech, pleading to go south to pursue the Oda army and achieve greater results.
Shogunate factions such as Ninagawa Prince and Hatakeyama Takamasa added fuel to the flames, and foreign ministers factions such as Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Suzuki Shigehide also expressed support.
After winning after many twists and turns, Zhu Ji has even more confidence in Yiyin than before the war.
At this time, no matter whether Zhu Ji sincerely supports or pretends to agree, the position of advocating for war is always more stable than advocating for peace. In the end, no matter what the outcome is, it is not considered a political mistake, so why not do it.
Yoshigan can't just think that Zhuhime has ulterior motives and his political stance is not firm just because Zhuhime firmly supports him in fighting the Oda family, right?
Shouting to fight and kill may not mean that you really want to fight, it is just a political choice made by the old fritters to remain invincible.
As for those who clearly advocated for peace, the only ones left were Akechi Mitsuhide and her best friend Fujitaka Hosokawa.
Yiyin shook his head, feeling a little tired.
Today's battle was actually extremely difficult to win. He could be said to have used all the tricks to win. Coupled with Sanada Nobunaga's extraordinary performance, he barely beat Oda Nobunaga by half a chip.
The ammunition for the artillery was almost exhausted, and Christina said that there was no inventory on the ship. To obtain the artillery shells, she had to go back to Sakai Port and find a Nanman merchant to replenish them.
However, because Lilu and Christina participated in the island war without authorization, it is not yet known whether the Southern Barbarian religious forces led by the Westerners and Portuguese will deal with them on the grounds of breaking the agreement.
If Yiyin wants to get the assistance of Christina's artillery team, it must first help Lilu control the Nanbarian trade and make the Nanbarite religious forces compromise.
This point, before the Battle of Shiba Oda is completely over, Yoshigan cannot be distracted from doing it.
In addition, although the system special effects of Tian Envy Hongyan are powerful and can change the weather, the cooling time of the special effects is very long, up to a year.
If Yiyin wants to make waves again and change its disadvantage on the battlefield, it will have to wait for at least a year for CD.
Oda Nobunaga was defeated and lost twenty to thirty thousand people in the battle at Yuwu Lake, but these losses could not shake her power for the time being.
On the contrary, it is still unknown whether Yoshigan's more than 20,000 remnant troops can break through Kitaomi and achieve greater results.
Therefore, even if the whole army was inspired by today's miracle and asked for a fight, Yiyin refused to fight anymore.
"enough!"
As soon as Yiyin opened his mouth, all the ladies who were debating in front of him stopped and bowed to him.
He waved to Kamoji Township, who took out a document and presented it with both hands.
Yoshihiro looked at Maeda Yoshida, the core figure of the main militant faction, and handed her the document.
"See for yourself."
Maeda Yoshida bowed, took the document with both hands, and looked down.
Yiyin didn't wait for her to finish reading, and began to lecture the concubines in front of him.
"I am very relieved that the ladies have the great righteousness of the martial arts and serve the shogunate.
But the reality is too cruel.
In this battle alone, 247 descendants of famous families have been exterminated by the coalition forces in recent years. Mothers, daughters and sisters all died in the battle, leaving no successors, which is very sad.
Oda Nobunaga revolutionized the military. The main force of her reserve army was Ashigaru. After a group of them died, they recruited another group. There was no shortage of idle village women in the countryside.
As long as Oda Nobunaga can hold on for half a year, new ashigaru and new reserves will continue to be added to her army.
But what about us? How many Ji warriors can we afford to die? In today's battle, how many relatives and friends will be shrouded in horse hides, you know better than me.
If we continue to fight, all our Hime warriors will die, and the bloodline of the samurai family will be cut off. Even if we defeat the Oda family, what is the point?
We started the war with the Oda family to persuade Oda Nobunaga with swords and guns, so that she could wake up to the true meaning of the samurai family and return to the correct path of maintaining the rule of the samurai family.
Instead of fighting her to the death, draining the last bit of strength of the Wu family and causing the whole world of the Wu family to fall apart.
As long as Oda Nobunaga is willing to admit her faults, correct her mistakes, and recognize the interests of the samurai family, I welcome her to become a member of the samurai family again."
After Yiyin finished speaking, the concubines in the audience whispered and nodded.
Tsutama is right, the war can't continue like this. It's really uneconomical to use the life of a noble warrior to fight against those lowly civilians Ashigaru.
The Wu family group only has 801,000,000 people, but there are tens of millions of civilians. Even if one is exchanged for three, or one is exchanged for five, Warrior Ji will die first.
This exchange ratio is so uneconomical that only fools are willing to continue fighting.
As long as Oda Nobunaga admits his mistakes and revise those innovative policies that harmed the interests of the samurai family, everyone will of course be willing to cease the war and stop the losses.
Everyone has a grudge against those revolutionary policies, not against the Oda family. As long as the Oda family changes course, respects the interests of the samurai group, and promises not to do anything inappropriate again, that would be the best.
Ninagawa himself was the first to come out and bow.
"Jinduo Palace is wise! Foreign ministers only follow the emperor's lead and obey all orders!"
Tsutama already has his own ideas, so there is no need for everyone to continue to accompany Maeda in the show of uniting as one.
One person started to flatter him, and others immediately followed suit. The whole formation was immediately filled with praises and praises.
After reading the death list carefully, Maeda felt that the document was not objective enough. He was about to raise his head to refute, but was glared back by Yoshigan.
Akechi Mitsuhide chuckled and said next to Maeda Yoshiki.
"Maeda Hime, do you know how much military expenditure we spent to fight this war?"
Maeda glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide and snorted coldly.
"As a recent general, I naturally know what's going on."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said again.
"In this case, why do you need to open your mouth again to cause trouble for your Majesty?
The coalition forces in various places have spent a huge amount of money, and the two million dan military expenditure may not last until the autumn. If the war continues, where do you want your Majesty to get another two million dan from, so that you can continue to toss?"
Akechi Mitsuhide's tone of ridicule caused Maeda Kazuki to look angrily at him. But the truth in his words made Maeda Kazuki hesitate a little, and he stopped speaking.
The conversation between the two was submerged in Zhu Ji's praises and became a small embellishment.
Just when Yiyin breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Di San Taifu hurriedly entered from outside the curtain, standing far away but not daring to get close.
Yiyin looked at her anxious face and felt a thump in his heart, what happened again?
He said solemnly.
"Everyone is tired after a long day of fighting today. Let's go back and rest. We will discuss the rest tomorrow.
Maeda Benefit, Akechi Mitsuhide, please stay here for a while."
All the concubines were sensible people, so they all resigned and left. Some of them already had some ideas in their minds when they saw the Third Taifu of Baidi standing respectfully aside.
When everyone who should leave had left, Bai Di San Taifu rushed up in twos and twos and knelt in front of Yiyin.
Yiyin just wanted to fall asleep at this moment, but something happened to him, so he could only sigh and ask.
