In Niko Katsuhisa's opinion, Akechi Mitsuhide is simply playing with fire. Her so-called checks and balances are to instigate confrontation between all parties in the family.

This was the case with the Nizi family at the beginning, and the factions in the family were not in harmony, and as a result, the Maori family was given a chance to break down.

Akechi Mitsuhide's approach made her angry and helpless because she was weak.

Although the Shima family is considered to be weaker than the Shogun faction and the Nizi Mountain Party, in fact, Shima Katsutoshi is not weak.

After the Northern University and the original samurai offered their territory, they still controlled the local territory of 45,000 stones.

Shima Shengmeng got 3,000 stones from Zhixing, and 8,000 stones from Sibo Liusuo, which is another 11,000 stone territory.

Coupled with this operation, Peking University and the military have received a reward for Zhixing, and together they have controlled Peking University and nearly sixty percent of the territory.

Shima Shengmeng is the leader of Peking University, and this time he is favored by His Royal Highness, and the former Peking University and the samurai family will inevitably move closer to her.

Coupled with the expansion of the Tongxin Sect after the war, a large number of Peking University and samurai families entered the Tongxin Sect, and they will also be led by Shima Shengmeng.

Although the island family is temporarily weak, after integrating resources, even if it is not as good as the military general faction, it is much stronger than the party in Nizi Mountain.

It's just that unlike Niko Katsuhisa and Yamanaka Yukimori, who are close and close, the two cooperate with each other, and Shima Katsutsu is only one person.

If you really join the concentric people, then the integration of the place will be insufficient energy, it is difficult to take care of everything, this is the problem of choosing one of the two.

Therefore, she can't control Peking University and the sixty-two families, and can only win over some of them.

Don't look at Akechi Mitsuhide helping her now, once the power of the island family increases greatly, they will turn to help the Nizi Mountain party suppress Shima Shengmeng.

This bastard plays with a balance hand, joining forces with the weak to suppress the strong, and keeping the forces of the Spo family from being too strong.

Bastard, why don't you toss Maeda's interests, she is the strongest one.

Niko Katsuhisa glared at Akechi Mitsuhide, and there was nothing she could do.

Shima Katsu Takeshi's intention to enter the Tongxin Sect is a good thing for the sovereign.

On the one hand, let Shima Katsu leave the place and reduce the centripetal force of the former Peking University and the samurai family in the local area.

On the other hand, after the war, the Iga people, who expanded the Tongxin congregation and took the lead, inevitably clashed with the later Peking University Wazuku.

This is the inferior root of the samurai, huddling together to keep warm and suppress dissidents.

In a samurai society where materials are scarce, everyone acts like this, and there is no way to blame.

But if Shima Katsu joins the concentric crowd, this kind of infighting that destroys unity will be controlled at a lower intensity.

Because Peking University and the people have a leader, it is enough to make the Iga people vigilant and deter them not too much.

The Iga people led by Yamanaka Yukimori and the Peking University and the people led by Shimakatsu Takeshi will hold the Tongxin people until the power of the Spo family expands further.

Nizi Katsuhisa powerlessly discovered that the opposition between the two factions in the concentric crowd would definitely appear.

No one can stop this trend, and even if Katsuhisa Niko sees through Akechi Mitsuhide's plan, he can't stop it.

Because this is human nature, from the time when each family clearly sees that the sovereign has the intention of choosing to be rich, there is no turning back.

Your Highness is perfect.

The appearance is unparalleled in the world, the family character is the leader of the martial arts, and the military array is also brave and good at fighting, and he has won a hundred battles.

Such a man, who is not tempted. Ji samurai, who is qualified to compete, who is willing to give up.

At this time, Nizi Katsujiu was more conscious.

This is a long-term and protracted contest, in which no one will admit defeat and fight for the heart of the monarch.

Akechi Mitsuhide saw that Niko Katsuhisa was not angry, but he still chose to endure and nodded secretly.

She's a trickster, but she's not crazy. Knocking, tempting, and figuring out are all in order to touch the bottom line of each family.

If the Lord is merciful, then someone in the family must play the role of the wicked.

The samurai is afraid of power and morality, she is unyielding and volunteering to act.

Balancing the forces of Peking University and the two families is to maintain the authority of the main family and prevent one family from becoming dominant.

As for the military generals in the Iga direction, they chose to face the Rokkaku, so they could only support it, not hinder it.

Although the Omi Rokkaku family suffered successive setbacks, lost the land of the three northern Omi guns, and was taken away by the shogunate from the mouth of the Seda River, the family still had the mobilization power of 400,000 stone territory.

Combined with Lake Biwa's commercial income, it can reach a mobilization power of 500,000 or even 600,000 koku.

With such a powerful force clinging to the territory of Sboihe, there is still a considerable gap between the two sides, how can it be taken lightly.

Maeda's interests are willing to stand up and perform, and Akechi Mitsuhide raised his hands in agreement, so naturally he wants her to confront her with peace of mind and not have to worry about the affairs of the family behind her.

She tossed the two factions of Nizi Mountain and the Island family, who let them have no energy to do.

If you don't do it, you're afraid that you will be too idle, and the whole thing will affect the overall situation.

How did Yiyin know that there were signs of mountain-based ism in the family, and each family secretly came and went.

From the perspective of the sovereign, he was satisfied with Shima Katsumo's attitude of taking the initiative to offer loyalty, and nodded in approval.

"Shimahime has a heart.

In that case, let her be in charge of the expansion of the congregation. ”

Akechi Mitsuhide and Niko Katsuhisa were both stunned, looking at each other and smiling bitterly.

They secretly calculated for a long time, who would have thought that the lord would casually throw away a big profit to Shima Shengmeng, it was really so trusting that people were jealous.

The Tongxin people started with the battle of the Ten Rivers and One Survival, and Yiyin led the Ji warrior regiment who rushed into battle.

At that time, except for Maeda Interest, who led a reserve team to guard against Tsutsui Shunkei, the remaining eight Iga reserve teams dispatched a hundred elite Ji samurai.

Later, 50 people were killed and disabled in the battle, and another 30 returned with minor injuries.

At this time, the Fujilin Baidi family flattered His Royal Highness and won the name of the Tongxin people. Later, there was an ambush in Hanoi, and fourteen people remained.

Among them, Yuhihama's story is not mentioned, and he was sent to Sakai Port by Yoshiyin to become the leader of the new selection group. The other thirteen people had palpitations and became more and more cautious in their work.

Together with the twenty Iga people who have returned from their injuries one after another, they are now composed of thirty-three people of the same heart.

These people are now serving as the lord's side, led by Yamanaka Yukimori, and guarding Yiyin's side.

There are only more than 30 people in existence, and this expansion of the Ji Samurai Regiment must have a scale of 100 people.

With one heart, the rewards are rich, and the rewards will be rewarded after the battle, and a large number of Ji samurai will be attracted to the king's choice.

Now that the sovereign has given the right of selection to Shima Katsutoshi, then the latecomers will inevitably recognize her promotion grace.

Yiyin may have been an unintentional move, but it gave the two advisors a lot of headaches, which was too unbalanced and not in the interests of both parties.

They really didn't expect that the lord had such trust in Shima Shengmeng and entrusted it without a trace of vigilance.

That's hilarious.

The two who were still in the tug of war before glanced at each other and reached a tacit understanding.

Wise Mitsuhide spoke.

"My lord, Shima-sama is a member of the Northern Diviand samurai family, and he is not familiar with the Ji samurai of Iga.

Niko-sama knows a lot about the Iga people, so it would be appropriate for them to discuss this matter together. ”

Niko Katsuhisa nodded and said solemnly.

The minister also had this intention, and Mao recommended himself.

The fifty-eight families of Iga, the Northern Ones and the sixty-two families of the Ji samurai entered the Tongxin Clan, and there must be a balance.

Concentric people are a means to win over the grassroots Ji warriors, and they should be cautious when summoned, so as not to spoil the big things of His Highness. ”

Yiyin saw that the two concubines both meant this, so he nodded in agreement.

The two sides finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Niko Katsuhisa glared at Akechi Mitsuhide, the bastard almost got away with it.

The final suggestion was that they had reached a compromise, and the selection would be handled by Katsuhisa Niko and Katsutakeshi Shima.

Maintain the balance first, and then think about it later.

Yiyin always felt that the two of them were weird, and he couldn't say what was wrong. Shaking his head, he sighed as he looked at the security in front of him.

Keep going, your wrists are so sore.
