But since Oda Nobunaga enjoyed the benefits of centralization, how could he be willing to give up the power he had obtained and go back to the old path of being checked and balanced by retainers?

Niwa Nagahide smiled.

"Your Majesty, if there is a problem with the policy, of course it must be changed. But running a big country is like cooking small dishes. It is taboo to change orders in the morning and at night.

Instead, we need to take it one step at a time, slowly heading towards the deep water, and don't rush it. I think Tsutado-don will understand the difficulties faced by the Oda family."

Oda Nobunaga nodded and smiled.

Niwa Nagahide was right. Since Yoshigan Shiba accused the Oda family of innovating policies that harmed the interests of the samurai family and attacked the Oda family from the moral high ground, then Oda Nobunaga knew his mistakes and could correct them.

But how to change it, it should be done in several steps, it should be decomposed and gradual, and it should slowly enter the deep water area. This time must be controlled by Oda Nobunaga himself.

It's like a weasel no longer eats chicken, but how to stop eating it is a step-by-step process: first it stops eating chicken feathers, then it stops eating chicken feet, whether it's raw or cooked, it's up to the weasel to decide, step by step.

It would be impossible to change things like this for thirty or forty years until the day Oda Nobunaga dies. Who knows that running a big country is like cooking a small dish, and there is no need to rush.

Oda Nobunaga nodded and said.

"This method is good. Of course I am willing to take into account the overall interests of the Wu family and change those bad reform policies.

But if Tsutado-don gives me some time, we can't let the Oda family turn around quickly and collapse in an instant, right?

If he forces me, he is not sincere and harbors evil intentions, hoping that my Oda family will be shocked by the great changes, so there is no need to continue talking."

Niwa Nagahide bowed and said.

"The hall is high and far-sighted, and the ministers respect it."

Oda Nobunaga's smile grew stronger and stronger.

She discovered that if she agreed to the change, the righteous reason for the Spoken Allied Forces to share the same hatred would disappear.

The Wu family more or less agreed with Shiba Yoshigan's words of "for the sake of the world of the Wu family". Even within the Oda family, there were many retainers who secretly agreed.

Oda Nobunaga must divest herself of this unjust political negative asset. She calls herself the elder of the Taira clan and is preparing to establish Oda Gongri, so she also needs a fig leaf.

The utilitarian Oda Nobunaga chose innovation just because it was more beneficial to her. But she didn't mind using a fig leaf to admit her mistakes and correct her mistakes, as long as her actual interests were not affected.

It would also be very beneficial to Oda Nobunaga to give the samurai family a dream of reform and politically dismantle the foundation of the anti-Oda alliance to prevent Nobunaga's encirclement network from recurring again and again.

Oda Nobunaga thought better and better, and said to Niwa Nagahide.

"Without further delay, you should go to the Jinduo Palace formation as soon as possible and ask Jinduo Palace for me whether killing and surrendering is in line with the righteousness of the Wu family?

In addition, tell him that I am not trying to harm the Wu family. I am a Wu family myself, so there is no reason to draw a sword to harm myself.

The Oda family's innovations are just to preserve themselves and grow stronger. If there are any flaws that cannot be tolerated by the samurai family, I am willing to change them back.

But I need time to change slowly without hurting the Oda family themselves.

If Tsutado-don agrees, then please show me some sincerity, and the two sides will cease war and will not allow any more hostilities.

This will facilitate subsequent negotiations."

In the battle of Yuwu Lake, Shiba Yoshigan also suffered a lot of losses and was temporarily unable to move south to the Kitaomi plain. What Oda Nobunaga was most worried about was the gap in the defense zone of Higashi Mino and Minami Omi.

If we can get a response from Bank of Italy and a ceasefire between the two sides, then the problem of the gap will be solved.

Assuming that Yoshigan Shiba does not agree, then Oda Nobunaga can be sure that Yoshigan Shiba's mind has changed, and she will mobilize further.

After that, the intensity of the war between the two sides will escalate again, and it can easily get out of control.

Oda Nobunaga hopes that Yoshihiro Shiba has not changed his mind. Now, it is time to talk.

Niwa Changxiu kowtowed to the ground and said.

"My ministers set out immediately to throw stones at the palace to ask for directions."

Oda Nobunaga nodded.
