In the Battle of Omi, the Rokkaku family was defeated.
The reason why her family ended up in an anticlimax was because Maeda's interests invaded Koga County with a small amount of Iga troops, seriously threatening the hinterland of Minami Omi Rokkaku.
Since this war, Maeda has jumped onto the stage in recent times and has become the general of the Shiba family that attracts the attention of all parties.
In the Koriyama Castle castle tower, Nizikatsu held Maeda's letter for a long time and was silent in thought. Down below, Yagyu Munomiki was waiting respectfully.
After a while, Nizi Shengjiu came back to his senses and said.
"You have done a good job. The situation at home has stabilized. You have been successful in serving the public. I will write to the Lord and ask for a reward for you."
Yagyu Muneki bowed and saluted.
"This is all due to the overall situation of the adults. I just did some small things."
Nizi Shengjiu smiled, just listen to the polite words, of course the reward should not be less, the Yagyu family is not a bad person.
Yagyu Munenuki is the head of the Shiba family, and his mother, Yagyu Munen, is the daimofu of the shogunate. They have both been on a killing spree recently.
Since the Shiba family moved to Kanto, the Shiba family has experienced some instability in recent years. The ability to stabilize the situation is entirely due to Nizi Katsuhisa being at home, and Yagyu Munenomi is a sharp knife in her hand.
And Ashikaga Yoshiki squeezed out the shogunate's power in Kyoto, grabbed land, people, and trade routes, forcing the shogunate to have no way to survive, and even used Yagyu Sogan's white gloves to their fullest.
Yagyu mother and daughter are now very popular figures in the Kyoto area. Their low-ranking officials and powerful people have attracted everyone's attention.
Nizi Shengjiu comforted him.
"Rewarding the public is the highest principle of the Wu family. The master is just and strict. Of course, he will not let the Yagyu family do things in vain. You can rest assured.
Speaking of which, you are still reliable in your work, and that person who has been in Kyoto hasn't come back, and he doesn't know what he is busy with."
Yagyu Munomi's heart trembled, and he lowered his head and said.
"My lord must have intended to let Takada Yukino-sama sit in Kyoto. I don't dare to speculate on your lord's thoughts. I just want to do my duty well."
Seeing how frightened she was, Nizi Shengjiu was eager to clear up the relationship, so he could only smile.
She didn't mean anything else, but Munomi Yagyu was very cautious.
When Yoshigan Shiba left Konki, he left Katsuhisa Niko in the Yagyu group and Mitsuhide Akechi in the Nakato group. The two were in charge of Konki's affairs, one internally and the other externally.
As Maeda's interests performed brilliantly in the Battle of Omi, and Saba Yoshigan gained a firm foothold in Kanto, the slight turmoil within the Saba territory in recent years gradually dissipated.
Nizi Katsuhisa used Yagyu Munomi smoothly and intended to win her the position of head of the household. Now it seems that he is meddling in other people's business.
Yagyu Muneki did not dare to accept the kindness of his superior officer. His mother was working in Kyoto and had been secretly taking care of him.
Others don't know what happened in the Kyoto Imperial Palace swordsmanship competition, but these two mother and daughter know it clearly.
Takada Yukino killed ten swordsmen in front of Ashikaga Yoshiteru because the swordsman humiliated Shiba Yoshigan. What a cruel reaction.
Yagyu Munomi secretly wondered, if that person had murderous intentions towards him, how many swords could he withstand? The more he thought about it, the more chilled he became.
The strongest swordsmen in the world belong to the two sword masters. But compared to killing people, perhaps Takada Yukino, the executioner Battousai, can be called the strongest.
It would be nice for this person to stay quietly in Kyoto. If you try to snatch her seat, wouldn't you be courting death? Yagyu Munenomi doesn't have the guts to fight for it.
Nizi Katsuhisa just said that she was rejected and didn't mention it. What was more troublesome for her was the letter from Maeda's interests in her hand.
The war has just come to an end, and this guy is eager to take credit for others, Takatora Toudo, Yoshitsugi Otani, and the Senki samurai under his command. What does this mean?
Nizi Shengjiu was a little angry.
Among the various forces in the Shiba family, the strongest one is Shiba Mikatakin, headed by Maeda's interests. All three of them were Yoshigan Mikachichi samurai and had great military exploits.
In this Omi war, Maeda's interests took the lead and she made great contributions to the stability of the Shiba family. However, she blatantly asked for credit for her own people, which was too arrogant and domineering.
What is the plan for the Lord to leave Jinji? It is for stability!
The Maeda family and Otani Yoshitsugi have already controlled Yuno and Minami-Iga among the three Iga regions, and this time they want to use their favors to erode Akechi Mitsuhide's North-Iga.
Because Yiyin enfeoffed the territory, a large number of direct leaders were distributed to various forces in the form of Spo.
Therefore, it makes sense to reward meritorious ministers with the Sibo materials.
However, Maeda was too selfish. She named Mitsuhide Akechi's name, Shiba Co., Ltd., because she wanted to block other candidates for her marriage and suppress other competitors.
What Nizi Shengjiu feared the most finally happened.
As the power of the Rokkaku family weakened and headed towards civil strife, all the forces in the Shiba family also eliminated external threats, no longer shared the same enemy goals, and lost the will to work together.
Maeda's interest was to start a marriage dispute, and by taking advantage of the fact that Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeo were not close by, he would first weaken the power of Akechi Mitsuhide, his opponent.
Nizi Shengjiu clasped his fingers and counted them.
The mountains of Guandong are prosperous and the islands are fierce.
Maeda Toshiie of Owari.
Mitsuhide Akechi in Kyoto.
Takada Harano of Sakai Port.
As long as Maeda's interests start to take action, none of these Hime warriors will give up. They will definitely fight to the end for their master, who is willing to give in.
Nizi Katsuhisa suddenly had a splitting headache. Maeda Maeda, this idiot, is she going to tear down the Shiba family?
Nizi Katsuhisa was still having a headache, and a message came from the messenger outside the door, and two more letters were delivered, from the Kitaomia Todo family and the Minami Iga Otani family.
She was stunned for a moment, reading ten lines at a glance, and finally breathed out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I am not the only one who is worried, and the Sibo family will not be demolished by these bastards for the time being.
———
Iga Omi is the border between the two countries and Maeda is a military garrison point of interest.
In the Honjin shogunate, Maeda Satoshi looked angry, pacing left and right in front of Otani Yoshitsugi, and said angrily.
"Ji Jiji, what do you mean?
You contributed a lot in this battle, I begged for a reward on your behalf, but instead you wrote a letter to shirk the situation without consulting me, are you planning to part ways with me?"
Otani Yoshitsugi knelt down in his seat, facing Maeda's accusation of interest, and shook his head slightly.
"No reward for no merit, I just stabilized the rear and did not make any merit.
My lord has treated me with great kindness, and I am eager to seek reward for this small achievement. I have no shame in doing such a scandal."
Maeda Yoshi's face turned red and he yelled angrily.
"You mean I'm shameless!"
Otani Yoshitsugi calmly looked at the furious Maeda and said.
"Ji Li, you shouldn't be like this. You know how the Lord treats you.
It's just a matter of containment. As the general of the recent Sibo Kingdom, this is your job.
But you are so eager to ask for favors that you even take the opportunity to suppress Akechi Mitsuhide. Do you think you are doing the right thing?"
Maeda was stunned and speechless.
She does have selfish motives. Recently, except for Takada Yono, who controls a low-level business and wants to climb high, Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeru, who are threats to her marriage, have all gone to Kanto.
Although it is said that those who are close to the water come first, the Wu family values strength more. If you want to get married, the most important thing is that your own family is strong.
She, Maeda, is also considered a good general, so she naturally knows that opportunities must not be missed.
Taking this opportunity, he can suppress Akechi Mitsuhide, expand his power in Iga country, and completely secure his position as the number one retainer of Shiba.
But Otani Yoshitsugi's words poured a basin of cold water on her heated head.
She grew up in Shiba's family and needed the help of Otani Yoshitsugi and Toudo Takatora, especially Minami-Iga Otani Yoshitsugi, who was an indispensable help for her to control Iga country.
Now that Otani Yoshitsugi opposes her approach, is it because she is really too impatient?
Maeda kept his temper and spoke to her.
"Then you can tell me privately, why bother to directly go to Nizi Shengjiu and embarrass me?"
Otani Yoshitsugi glared at her and said.
"Then why did you do the thing you asked for credit first and then tell me about it?
I am on good terms with you, but my master treats me with great kindness, how can I ruin his important affairs for the sake of personal friendship?"
Maeda shook his head and said.
"How could I harm the Lord?"
Otani Yoshitsugi interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"You are doing harm to the Lord!
When the Lord left the country, why did he decide that Nizi Katsuhisa, Akechi Mitsuhide, and you would be responsible for internal affairs, diplomacy, and military affairs? Have you ever thought about it?
Do you think that the Shiba family can sit back and relax and attack Mitsuhide Akechi to make it difficult for Nizi to win? What are your thoughts?
The Shiba family only had a mere 200,000 koku in recent times! How much thought and effort did the master have to put in to achieve his current status!
What would they think if outsiders saw the internal fighting in the Shiba family? Will the local powerful faction in the shogunate stay close to us?
What does the general in Kyoto think? You really don’t know what she thinks about the lord?
The Miyoshi family and the Rokkaku family are just in civil strife. They both have a mobilization force of millions of dan and 600,000 dan. How can you ensure the safety of the Shiba family's territory!
Maeda's interests! You can ignore these willful actions, but I can't! The Lord has shown me kindness and kindness, and I can only repay it with death!
I am writing to Lord Nizi Katsuhisa.
The first is to tell her that I have no intention of fighting within myself. The second is to tell you that Maeda interests should wake up quickly!"
