After a short interlude, Oda Nobunaga quickly returned to his vigorous state, and in response to the results of Iga's strategy, he launched a drastic deal under the banner of the shogunate.

Within the countries, dozens of ambiguous and disputed territories were divided among the wealthy families of the pro-Oda in the name of "rewards for meritorious deeds." Correspondingly, pro-shogunate local forces were suppressed to varying degrees, and many of the domains that were established but not officially recognized were held accountable.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who had an unfavorable year, had no choice but to retreat and force a smile.

The actual damage caused by the "Izumi Rebellion" was not too serious, but it was a blow that needed to be digested for a long time for the shogunate, which was overstretched.

One Ise Sadako, one Isshiki Fujinaga, plus two overthrown acting officials, Miki Masaki and Iio Mayuka, all fell into trouble. These people, not to mention how they are, are already rare retainers in the shogunate who dare to do things. Since they didn't get the benefits, the other courtiers would only cringe even more.

Under such circumstances, Ashikaga Yoshiaki could only temporarily abandon his intention to hold real power, and once again copied the ancestral business, focusing on contacting high-ranking officials of the imperial court and various daimyos, and strengthening his influence purely from the perspective of retreat.

Although the Muromachi shogunate was founded for more than 200 years, there were serious congenital defects, and the first two shoguns of Seiyi had been facing pressure from the Southern Dynasty. The three generations of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu defeated the Southern Dynasty and ended the confrontation between the North and the South, and could only maintain a situation in which the central power was weak and the guardians of various countries ruled the world together. This situation lasted for less than a hundred years, and since the "Cargill Rebellion", the power of the shogunate has been declining day by day, and it has been completely hollowed out by important ministers.

In the last three or five generations, the generals of the expedition have all been empty shells with no more than 3,000 troops and nothing but their names. The actual power is held by powerful daimyo such as Hosokawa, Ouchi, and Miyoshi, and now there is another Oda Nobunaga.

However, Hosokawa, Ouchi, and Miyoshi are now all wiped out or half-dead, and the Ashikaga family is still holding on!

Perhaps it was this that inspired Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who began to repeatedly use two ancestral mysteries to cause trouble for Nobunaga: one was to win over other daimyo and rely on one faction of warlords to fight another; The second is to unite with the imperial court and rely on the name of righteousness to carry out spiritual attacks.

The previous path has not achieved much results for the time being, and the nearest Asakura is still in the Cold War with the shogunate due to historical reasons, and the relationship has yet to be restored, so I don't mention it; Although Takeda and Mori, who had high hopes, expressed their respect for the shogunate, they were also allied with Oda and had no intention of replacing them; Uesugi Kenshin secretly promised to open up Hokuriku and move to Kamirako, but he was still separated from Kyoto by Echichu, Kaga, and Noto...... Given that the Echigo army is not equipped with helicopters, I am afraid that it will not be able to come for a while.

But the latter path played a little bit of a role. The Ashikaga family has always attached great importance to the friendship with the imperial court since before they came to power, and the political legacy accumulated over the centuries is very rich, and most of the ministers will sell face to them if they have spare time.

Therefore, after some push from Ashikaga Yoshiaki up and down, the dignified Fujiwara elder, Quasi-Sannomiya, from a left minister, the regent Sekihaku Nijo Harora, came forward to convey the words of Emperor Masakin-cho Chrysostom and suggested that Oda Nobunaga serve as the "deputy general" of the Muromachi shogunate, that is, Yoshiaki's deputy.

This move is very ingenious, and if you agree, you will sit firmly in the second position of the world's martial artists, but it will also greatly increase the difficulty of climbing from the second to the first.

If the ambition is insufficient, maybe it will be half pushed, who is the credible chief?

Of course, the Great Demon King didn't consider this.

It's just that in the face of the proposal jointly put forward by the imperial family, the minister, and the shogunate, the strong Nobunaga did not dare to refuse directly, but replied respectfully: "Such an honor, flattered, how dare you accept it easily, and wait for the minister to return to Gifu City to consider it." ”

With this shameless method, Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally got back a little bit of the situation, which made Oda Nobunaga somewhat restrained.

As a result, the accountability of the pro-shogunate forces was raised high, gently falling, and it was over.

This round of dragon fighting, although it does not use the knife and does not see blood, it also contains a huge explosive force that is hidden and does not appear, which makes all those in the know sweat.

The flowers bloomed two and each showed a branch, and the tie did not participate in this political struggle.

In fact, after returning from Iga's class, he only stayed in Kyoto for six days before being sent by Oda Nobunaga to work in Izumi and Awaji.

Maybe it was the "drunken talk" that night that played a role, and the Demon King fully respected Hirate's willingness to be a foreign town and unwilling to return to the center.

Originally, he reached some private agreements with Lin Xiuzhen, Tsutsui Shunkei, and Oda Nobutada, but they were broken by Nobunaga's drinking. And Nobunaga also said, "Don't worry about these things, I'll do it for you!" ”

The implication is probably to warn Fan Xiu not to meddle in the central personnel power.

Afterwards, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know if his answer satisfied Nobunaga's heart.

Does his old man want the Pingshou family to be in the center, or in the outer town?

Both sides seem to make sense, but neither makes sense.

It's really hard.

Putting on a lord who is extremely intelligent, energetic, and willing to toss is indeed terrifying and terrifying.

Talking at night that day, Pingshou Fanxiu seemed to be as wild and uninhibited as a scribe of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and he was talking wantonly, but in fact, he was just careful to maintain his own character setting.

Shibata's vulgar and courageous, Niwa's simplicity and benevolence, Takigawa's ruthlessness and decisiveness, and even Sakuma's jealousy and jealousy, Lin Xiuzhen's old-fashioned style, perhaps, to some extent, is just a "character setting", right?

Suddenly, I kind of understand the wise Mitsuhide in the original history......

Of course, in the face of retainers and outsiders, Hirata Honshu always maintains the wisdom bead in his hand, and he looks confident, and he is still the one who is trusted by Ashikaga Yoshito Showa and Oda Nobunaga from the fifth lower middle affairs young man, Awaji guardian and acting official of Izumi.

When he left Kyoto, it was August 19 of the second year of Motokame.

Heide Hoshu is not ready to return to Awaji Island to reunite with his family for the time being, and plans to go to Izumi first to re-establish order. Although the riots of a few months ago were not serious, it was always more difficult to recover than to destroy, and it took some effort.

Nobunaga sent his confidant Sugaya Yori to see him off.

A simple command is also paraphrased:

"In the coming year, if there is a change in the north, please bring 5,000 elites to help."

It is Oda Nobunaga's style, concise and to the point, vague and vague, and the specific meaning must be understood by yourself.

Fortunately, Tie Tsushu is not short of brains.

The coming year will undoubtedly indicate the beginning of spring.

There has been a change in the north, no matter how you look at it, it refers to the Asakura family.

5,000 elites is the expectation of equal military strength.

Nobunaga didn't seem to want Hirate to keep an army too large for long.

As for whether it is worried about the number of people and the lack of quality, or for some other reason, this is intriguing......
