Chapter 264: Shadow

Fujido Takatora stepped back gratefully, and Yoshiin set his sights on the next Ji samurai.

"Yoshitsugu Otani."

"Hey!"

"Since you followed me, you have fulfilled your duties and fought bravely, and you have sealed the south of Iga with 5,000 stones."

Otani Yoshitsugu was grateful, and bowed to the ground.

At first, she fled in panic and had no choice but to surrender to Sibo Yiyin.

Who would have thought that in less than a year, she would reap such a big reward.

In Kyoto, Yoshiyin sought the grace of Ashikaga Yoshiki for her, and Otani Village became the shogun's imperial restaurant, dispelling the Rokkaku family's peeping into her family's ancestral land.

Now, with the acquisition of Minami Iga's 5,000 stone Zhixing, the Otani family has officially entered the ranks of high-level samurai.

Nowadays, she and the hexagonal family should also treat each other with courtesy, and most of the countrymen and local servants who regretted their marriage at the beginning have to beat their chests and regret it.

The territory of Otani Village is secured.

Even if the Roxagonal family goes to war with the Spo family, her family will not move the general's imperial palace.

If the shogunate was at odds with the Rokkaku family, the Rokkaku family would not dare to touch the territory of the Spo family's important ministers.

In this way, she is worthy of the family business passed down by her ancestors, and she has a solid family status for future generations and has achieved fame.

Yoshitsugu Otani is grateful to Yoshiyin Spo.

She was suffering from a strange disease, her skin was ulcerated, and she covered her face with her head all year round, and she was not welcomed.

Only by giving the Lord a chance can she have today.

Yoshitsugu Otani leaned down again and grabbed the ground with his head.

"The kindness of the Lord will never be forgotten, and I am willing to shed the last drop of blood for the Spo family."

Yiyin nodded, motioning for her to step down.

Fujido Takatora and Otani Yoshitsugu are the two shadows of the Spo family that extend to Omi Province.

Near the Sipo Territory, to the west is North Hanoi, which is now the territory of the Mibuchi family, and is an ally.

To the south is Kofukuji Temple, Tsutsui Shunkei, whether it is a friend or an enemy is not a big problem, and the nun samurai can't help but fight.

What's more, there is also the nail of Shigehide Suzuki.

To the east is the lofty mountains, separated from Ise Province, and as long as the main road in and out of Iga is held, it is difficult for the army to cross the mountains and enter the Spo territory.

To the north is Yamashiro Province and Omi Province, and Yamashiro Kyoto is the center of the shogunate, so there is no problem on this side.

Yoshiyin and the shogunate fought off the invasion of Miyoshi and relied on each other to maintain the shogunate's guardian system.

The Spo family was of noble character, and as long as Yoshiyin stayed within the guardian system to make a profit, rather than choosing to overthrow it, then there would be no irreconcilable contradictions in the relationship with the shogunate.

Even if the two sides are a little discordant, they will not reach the point of fighting each other.

And Omi Province is the direction that the Spo family needs to pay the most attention to.

Omi is fertile and Lake Biwa is commercially developed. If you have a country near the river, you will have the strength equivalent to the three good families.

What's even more terrifying is that Omi is right on the edge of Kyoto. The Seda River, which enters Kyoto through Lake Biwa, has smooth military logistics.

Whoever wins the entire Omi Province is the shogunate's worst enemy.

As the Shogunate's vested interests, the Spo family watched Omi to maintain the peace of the shogunate system in the east.

Whether it is the South Omi Rokkaku family or the North Omi Asai family, whoever unifies Omi is the enemy of the Spo family.

It has nothing to do with thin feelings, but only because of fundamental conflicts of interest. Neither the shogunate nor the Spo family allowed Omi to become dominant.

Spo's house, there are exactly two grippers who can pry Omi.

Fujido Zhong is a veteran Kita-Omi samurai, and in the Battle of Norada, he dared to defect to the Asai family to fight against the Rokkaku family, which shows that this group of Chinese people are very familiar with the north.

Although he was only a low-status countryman, Yiyin did not dare to underestimate the Fujitang family at all.

This middle-aged Ji warrior has no shortage of wisdom and bravery, but he lacks the opportunity to climb up.

Now Yiyin has given the Fujido family a chance, with a territory and identity, and with the big tree of the Spo family on his back.

Look at her family, can she lay a wedge for the Spo family in Kita-Omi.

At the beginning, the Asai family went south, and the three counties of North Omi were only nominally subservient, and there was no meaning of military service at all.

The Asai family won the battle of Norada, and their vitality was also greatly damaged, so they reluctantly agreed to the lord of Kita-Omi on face.

Now, Asai Nagamasa has won the position of the shogunate's guardian of Kita-Omi, and his family has also cultivated a lot.

Then, forcing the samurai of the three counties to make concessions and essentially ruling the three counties was put on the agenda.

Yoshiin didn't want the Fujido family to fight against the Asai family, but just raised her family's family status, so that the desperate Sanjun samurai family had a way out.

Now the Asai family is close to the Spo family, because the Rokkaku family is powerful.

But people have no long-term worries, and there must be near-term worries.

Yoshiyin hopes that the Fujido family can have more appeal in the three counties of North Omi, in case one day. One more chip to play against the Asai family.

It's a shadow.

And Otani Yoshiji's side is even simpler, and the Rokkaku family hates Spo Yoshiyin to the core, but they are very afraid.

It was he who helped the Asai family win the Battle of Norata, and made the Rokkaku family's best opportunity to dominate Omi in more than a hundred years come to fruition.

Today, the Rokkaku family is dissatisfied with the main family of the inner retainers, and is suppressed by the shogunate externally, which is inseparable from Yoshiyin.

And Yoshigin's current Iga territory is attached to the Minami Omi of the Rokkaku family.

If you don't plan ahead, who knows if there will be unexpected emergencies in the future.

Yoshiin is to use Otani Yoshitsugu to give birth to a son first.

This time, she got 5,000 stone Zhixing, and she will inevitably return to her hometown in fine clothes and recruit people from the southern Omi country to enrich the grassroots of the territory.

Since the era of the Roxagonal Dinglai, the Roxagonal family has expanded externally and frequently engaged in wars.

Although he has been victorious, and even ate the three counties of North Omi, the oppression of the low-level Chinese people is becoming more and more cruel.

The Otani family is one of the victims.

All the Ji samurai in the family died on the battlefield, leaving only Otani Yoshitsugu as a lone seedling. The Hexagonal family also peeked into her village, wanting to engulf her family's ancestral land and replenish the losses of the war.

This is the saddest thing about the people and the earth.

They are the bottom of the shogunate's guardian system, and they have obligations but no rights, so they can only be oppressed.

Now, the Hexagonal family has lost consecutive battles.

Not only did he lose the three counties of Kita-Omi, which were originally laid down by Rokkaku Joyori, but he was also robbed by the shogunate of the mouth of the river from Lake Biwa to the Seda River to build Sakamoto Castle.

If you lose externally, you will inevitably be more brutal if you lose internally.

Originally, there was still the military ration service shared by the three counties, but now it is all smashed on the people of Minami Omi, and it is unspeakably miserable.

At this time, what will happen when Yoshitsugu Otani, who is proud of the spring breeze, returns to his hometown to recruit Ji Samurai?

The Rokkaku family has ruled Minami Omi for more than 100 years, and it is deeply rooted, and Yiyin knows that she can't shake her family.

But what if Otani Yoshitsugu's territory is full of people who can't survive in the Rokkaku family's territory and hate her family?

These Ji samurai are inextricably linked to the grassroots families of Minami-Omi.

If one day, the Hexagonal family and the Spo family have a conflict.

Will they choose to help squeeze their Hexagonal family, or the Spoo family, who gave them a way to live?

Will it lead to the low-level riots in Minami Omi and shake the fighting spirit of the Rokkaku?

This is another shadow.

Spo Yiyin couldn't have imagined that it was so far-reaching, and these were all arrangements planned by Akechi Mitsuhide when he discussed military merits and rewards with him.

Sometimes Yiyin looked at the sunny smile of Wise Guangxiu, and felt a chill in his heart.

Rewards can be calculated to such an extent, what a terrible woman.

When I was angry with her before, I couldn't wait to cry at her. Now that I have talked deeply, I am scared a little.

What a terrible woman.
