"I have two more suggestions here that I hope you will consider when deciding on the issue of Regent!" I still had a smile on my face, but the words in my eyes were clear. I'll also use threats when appropriate, and if you dare not "consider" you, you can try it.

"Your Highness the Stars...... May you hear your opinions! The "monkey" was slightly stunned, wondering if my change had put pressure on him.

"First of all, this time the question of merit in quelling the unrest!" I watched them get nervous and softened, but they still thought I was going to claim territory for myself now! But they were all wrong, and that was the next step. "In the rebellion of Matsunaga Shu and Araki Murashige, two adults, Kiyohide Nakagawa and Shigetomo Takayama, abandoned the darkness and turned against the light, which is really indispensable. Therefore, I think that in order to calm people's minds, they and the two counties in the coastal area southwest of Settsu should maintain the status quo. ”

"Oh?" The monkey let out a painful groan from the depths of his throat and stared up at me. I met his gaze without flinching, and the temperature in the pavilion plummeted. "Okay...... But the Nakagawa and Takayama families should be under the jurisdiction of the new guardian! ”

"This is natural, and the new guardian can now move into the Stone Mountain Imperial Castle!" My momentum relaxed, and I comforted him casually.

I don't necessarily understand what everyone here means, but the "monkey" must have a clear heart, and the words of Takayama Shigetomo and Nakagawa Kiyoji are just an introduction, because they are now under the control of the "monkey", and the focus is all on the "two southwestern coastal counties" in the back. To put it more clearly, it is, "You kid don't want to fight the idea of Ishiyama Town!" ”

For the "monkeys" whose territories are mostly located in the underdeveloped areas of the western country, the strategic significance of such a city with abundant material circulation is naturally self-evident! Controlling this place will not only allow him to get a large amount of donation income every year, but the collection of ordnance and food will also increase the combat power of his army by two whole grades.

But I can't let people touch the "cheese" on my plate, which can be said to be a matter of principle. After the "monkeys" were given Settsu, the territories in our coastal areas were almost impossible to contact Nagano Yoshimori in Tanba, and the only way to do so was to use a powerful navy to echo behind the flanks. There is no way to do this, but fortunately, the "monkey" has given in, and he can't put all his energy here now. However, he should be content with it, and Ishiyama Imperial Castle is a stronghold stronger than Azuchi.

"The second proposal is about His Highness Ikeda, about his territorial status!" As soon as I said this, the face of the "monkey" immediately changed, and the two huge round eyes almost fell out of their sockets. But as if I hadn't seen it, I calmly continued, "His Royal Highness Ikeda is not only the sister-in-law of the Lord, but also a powerful minister who has served the Oda family for generations, and if it weren't for his desperate fight against the Araki rebels, the Oda family would not know what the situation would be today. For this reason, I suggest that his merits should be recognized and appear as an independent supporting force in the retainers of the Oda family! ”

Shibata Katsuya squinted his eyes and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a flat "V" shape, if it weren't for the strong restraint of his age, he would have clapped his hands and applauded loudly at this moment. Ikeda Tsuneko is now in Settsu, and if he is strengthened, the "monkey" will effectively get nothing. If he continues along this line of thought, I believe that it won't be long before he Shibata will be able to take charge of alone!

Corresponding to this was the performance of the "monkey", who closed his lips tightly and did not say a word, his eyes wandering while a pair of big ears trembled slightly, and it was very obvious that he was planning something there.

"So I'll suggest...... His Royal Highness Ikeda moved out of Settsu and settled in another feudal country! I took a sharp turn after a slightly long note, and "Monkey" and Shibata Katsuie were almost knocked down by me.

Looking at the drastic changes in the faces of the two of them, I felt an indescribable pleasure in my heart, this feeling was so good, to be able to play with them like this is something I have wanted to do for many years.

I've known what "Monkey" thinks about Settsu, and I'm ready to fulfill him, otherwise how would he have a balance of power against Shibata Katsuie. But I can't let him achieve his goal so easily, otherwise my request will not be easy to make later!

"It's as it should be, but ...... But where is the right fit? Niwa Nagahide asked worriedly, he was dying of sorrow at the moment. The territorial issue that is being discussed now is the key to the key, and the slightest carelessness will directly lead to a civil war in the Oda family.

"Your Highness Ikeda, do you have any requirements of your own?" I didn't answer this question directly, but gave Ikeda a look of secrecy.

"I don't have any special ideas of my own, but ......" Ikeda Tsuneko really muttered, not at all showing that we had discussed it before. Seeing this performance, I couldn't help but nod secretly, it seems that he is really mature. "However, Ah Shi has always been worried about His Royal Highness the Third Mage, after all, he is still a child who can't take care of himself. So we don't want to get too far from Azuchi, even if it's a smaller territory! ”

"His Royal Highness Ikeda is really selfless and high-spirited, and I sincerely admire him!" I immediately took the following lines, after all, I am the protagonist of this play. "The chaos of Matsunaga this time is menacing, and the rebellion is indeed surprising. Although Tsutsui Shunkei of Yamato did not explicitly rebel, his attitude at the beginning was quite suspicious, and although we and others as important ministers of the Oda family could not be all soldiers, we must be cautious. Yamato is an important city to protect Kyoto, so it is better to have someone we can trust. Therefore, I propose that while the family appoints Shunkei Tsutsui as the guardian of Yamato, I propose that Matsunaga's old 200,000 koku in Yamato Nobukiyama Castle be handed over to His Highness Ikeda in charge, so that we can all rest assured! ”

"Okay, that's a great idea!" Niwa Nagahide smiled and nodded, the idea really spoke to his heart. Compared with the quick success of "Monkey" and Shibata Katsuka, he trusts Ikeda Hengxing more than he makes a little trouble from time to time, and thinks that will be calmer.

"That'...... That's it! Shibata Katsuya finally nodded, but he was still able to accept half of Yamato.

"If is stable, we will no longer have to worry about the future, and we should be more handy in crusading against Maori's rebels!" The "monkey" had a smiling face after about five seconds of distraction, but I instinctively sensed that there was some kind of trick behind it.

I smiled and stared at him that he didn't have a stubble, and neither did anyone else, in fact, everyone knew that he would continue to talk about it himself.

"It's a pity!" Sure enough, the "monkey" turned around and took it back by himself, and began to talk about his difficulties. "Now that San'in and Sanyo are out of sync, even those who are mostly dependent on the Oda clan are unable to act in unison, and the situation has been exacerbated by the martyrdom of the first lord, which has often put us at a disadvantage in the war against Maori. For this reason, I think that the two provinces of the West also need to be adjusted, and I hope you can understand it correctly! ”

"You ......" Niwa Nagahide felt that another "storm" was approaching.

"And what exactly do you want?" Shibata Katsuya asked first with a face, he didn't intend to give up the advantage he had already gained.

"I want to bring Tajima into the unified command to coordinate the forces of Sanin and Sanyo!" The "monkey" was not polite either, and immediately opened its mouth like a lion.

But horses, a transit station connecting the east and west of San'in, may have different views on the role of geography, but no one will ignore its value. The "monkey" has a small appetite in his small body, and he has blatantly surrendered to the leaders of the Oda family, and with this "cornucopia", he will not be afraid to confront anyone for a long time. Shibata Katsuya looked at me and didn't speak, as if he meant to watch a play.

The eastern part of San'in used to be my sphere of influence, and even now I still hold the province of Tango. At present, the situation of forces in western is very complicated, and it is impossible to say where it is who, or whoever wants to say that it is their own!

"Then what do you want to say in front of Your Highness?" I raised my right hand and looked at my fingernails carefully, there was not a single stain in them. This is the hand of a big man who will never touch something dirty.

"His Royal Highness Xinzhao, as a compatriot of the first generation of the ancestors, should naturally assist the new lord more, and it is more appropriate to invite him to Ruojiang in Hanoi!" "Monkey" said without any smugness, and did not feel anything out of place.

"Hmm......" I nodded and said nothing, as if I had agreed to the request. Niwa Nagahide opened his mouth several times in a row, but in the end he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and let out a long sigh.

"It seems that the Maori family is not easy to deal with, so there has been no progress for so many years!" Shibata Katsuya didn't see the good show he wanted to see, so his eyes became a little red.

"Naturally, it is not as good as the victorious general, Your Highness Shibata, and the battle against Uesugi can be described as a success!" Not to be outdone, the "monkey" sneered at each other.

"His Royal Highness Yuchai is reasonable, and he is really ashamed of the cultivation of the ancestors!" Shibata Katsuya was very generous and did not argue with him, but sighed very emotionally. "The strength of my Oda family is actually unmatched in the sea, and the situation we are in today is the result of the inability of these important ministers such as us to work wholeheartedly. I am very willing to wish you a helping hand in the land of the West, I hope you don't see it outside! ”

I feel that things are going to go bad, Shibata Katsuya himself has a territorial advantage, and now he controls two million stone of land, which is even more than my level. If he wants to rush to get a full head start now, then this meeting can only face a breakdown!

"Then I'll give you Wakasa as well!" Sure enough, Shibata Katsuka's aggressiveness couldn't even stand Niwa Nagahide, and threw out a sentence hard.

"That's it, Your Highness Niwa, please accept the country of Tango!" I said it at the very moment.
