Ohno Heinobu was a loyal servant of the Matsukami family, and Ohno Heinobu himself always thought so.

If Matsugami had not died in battle or had a strong heir to the Matsukami family, Hiranobu Ohno would still consider himself a loyal servant of the Matsugami family, but now everything has changed. After the Shintsukan Rebellion, the wise Lord was killed in battle, and His Royal Highness the brave Shaoji Shin was also poisoned, and the only lineage of the Matsugami family is now left with a child who has just turned one year old. Are you willing to accept the baby who is still wearing open crotch pants as the master? Do you have to be under the command of the mother, who doesn't understand anything? Naturally, Ohno will not be willing to do this, whether it is for the survival of the family business or the dignity of being a samurai.

Therefore, at the moment when Matsugami Yoshiyuki's father and son both died, and the Shinjin Pavilion was killed, Ohnohira's loyalty to the Matsugami family also ended, and he did not think about avenging the father and son who died in the battle, but returned directly to his territory and began to build a castle. At the beginning, Ohnohira still had a trace of guilt in his confidence, and he secretly planned to go to Matsugami Castle to visit his nominal young master after the castle was built. However, once the ambition is released, it can never be recovered, and as Ohno Hiranobu's residence is gradually completed, the weight of the Matsugami family in his heart is getting lighter and lighter, so that it is gone.

The Ono clan has been a retainer of the Matsukami clan for generations, and its domain is located on the west side of Matsugami Castle, adjacent to the Katayama and Umedo families. After several generations of sealing, the stone height of the Onokie family has also reached 2,000 koku, and it happens to be the territory of Matsugami Yoshimitsu located in the east of Matsugami Castle, which is located in the east and west to protect the main castle of the Matsugami family. However, it is precisely these two families that have not only guarded the Matsugami family as originally conceived, but have posed the greatest threat to it, which has to be said to be an irony for the successive heads of the Matsugami family who have worked hard in the past.

Because the original idea of the Matsugami clan as the lord is very similar in terms of strength and function, the two castles of Ono Castle and Matsumoto Castle are very similar. However, if you only talk about the size of the castle, there is a world of difference between the two castles, Matsumoto Castle looks tall and sturdy, like an eight-foot strong man, and Ono Castle looks a little short and shabby, like a thin dwarf.

If you talk about the strength of the territory alone, Ohno Heinobu and Matsugami Yoshimitsu are on par, and if you compare the background, Ohno Heinobu is slightly better. After all, the Ohno clan has gone through several generations for nearly a hundred years, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu has only risen suddenly, so why is there such a big difference between the two cities? The reason for this is that Matsugami Yoshimitsu has a stone height of more than 2,000 stone in a short period of time, and Matsumoto Castle is also the castle that he built with all his might. However, the territory of the Ono clan has been accumulated after several generations of hard work, and the ancestors of the Ono clan who built Ono Castle at the beginning did not have the strength of the Ono family today.

When the Ohno clan arrived, he may not have had the idea of rebuilding the castle in the generation of Ohno Heinobu, especially after Matsugami Yoshimitsu Matsumoto Castle was built, his thoughts became even stronger. However, during the Warring States period, retainers were not allowed to rebuild their own castles without the permission of the head of the family, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu obtained the concession because he wanted to guard against the Shintsu family in the east. And the west side of the Ono family's defense has been quiet for many years, so naturally there is no way to rebuild, and Ohno Nobu himself has been serving in Matsugami Castle in the past, and only let his eldest son Ono Nobura stay in the castle. This is also the reason why Ohno Heinobu rushed straight back to his home city, Ohno Castle, after all, that kind of city javascript: it really can't stop the enemy's attack.

Ohno Castle.

Today, Ono Castle is like a busy construction site, and hundreds of lords have been recruited by the Ono family to participate in the construction of Ono Castle. Although it was not possible to build the castle in a short period of time, after many days of construction, Ono Castle is now very different from what it used to be.

Under the personal planning of Ohno Heinobu, the new Ono Castle was built entirely after Matsugami Castle, the home of the Matsugami family, and the dilapidated honmaru and wooden fences of the past were all replaced with new wood. In addition, the foundation of the Honmaru is reinforced with a mixture of mountain stones and earth, and four arrow turrets made of simple wood are being constructed around Ono Castle. The once flat perimeter of Ono Castle has now been excavated several feet deep to strengthen the protection of Ono Castle, and the entire foundation of Ono Castle has been raised by half a foot with the soil obtained from the excavation of the wall. In this way, Ise Ono Castle, which is full of wealthy families, is also a fortified castle, and the dream of the Ono family that has lasted for several generations has finally been realized in the Ohno Heinobu generation.

Ono Castle Honmaru.

Although Ono Castle has not yet been fully built, Ohno Heinobu, who has been looking forward to it for half a life, can't wait to live in it.

On this day, Ono Heinobu held an evaluation in the new city, and like many wealthy families that have been around for hundreds of years, Ono Heinobu has only his own family, that is, his two sons, Ono Nobuya and Ohno Nobuhei. Of course, the Ono clan that has been bred for hundreds of years cannot have only three fathers and sons, but in order to maintain the dignity of the samurai family, those branch clansmen including Ohno Heinobu's younger brother were ordered to become monks.

"Nobuya, how's the construction of Ohno Castle?" As soon as the assessment began, Ohno asked his eldest son, Nobuyoshi Ohno, who was in charge of overseeing the construction of the new Ohno Castle, about the progress of the construction of the new castle.

Nobuya Ohno was established as the heir of his father Hiranobu Ohno early, and he was also the temporary lord of the castle when he was serving as the lord of Matsugami Castle. Although the owner of Ohno Castle is still his father Ohno Heinobu at present, in the conscience of the ambitious Ohno Shin, this will sooner or later belong to his own city, so Ohno Nobuya is very serious when he supervises the construction of Ohno Castle. Now, when he heard his father ask him about the construction progress of Ohno Castle, Nobuya Ohno said proudly: "My lord, my father, the main defense of the new castle is about to be built, and the wooden fences of Honmaru and the castle have been replaced with new wood. Ono Castle is now capable of defense, but it will take some time before it is fully built. ”

As he spoke, Nobuya Ohno couldn't help but feel more and more proud, the future of the new castle that the Ohno clan had been looking forward to for several generations was finally about to be built.

"Xinliang, you're doing a good job. Now it seems that in a few years, I will be able to give up the position of the head of the Ohno family to you with peace of mind. "The eldest son, Nobuna, has always satisfied Ohno Heinobu, and there is nothing more satisfying for a samurai who is always ready to die in battle than a good heir. The supervision of the new castle was specially trained by Ohno Heinobu to train his eldest son, and now it seems that he is doing a good job.

"Haha, thank you Father for the compliment." Onoshi's conscience, which was recognized by Ohno Pingxin, became more and more triumphant.
