"Lord Takenaka is a hero in the world, and the poor monk thinks that he is not vulgar. www.biquge.info Even though it is inconvenient or unwilling for the two of us to be famous in the world, we don't have to be children's teachers. The reason why teaching these students is like planting a sapling, and after ten years, you should see the results. It's just that most of the ordinary doors are ordinary trees, and if there is no towering tree of the flat family, it will not be able to avoid the wind and rain after all. ”

ushered in the half-soldier guard of Takenaka, and the three of them sat down, and Huya Zongyi came to a very straightforward opening statement.

Fan Xiu didn't come back to it for a while, and the bamboo also bowed slightly, adding:

"Contemptible people can still pretend to be high and poor, but they must always think about the future generations. Now more than 50 samurai from the two countries of Omi have come to seek advice, and most of them are attached to the master of the Tieshou Prison, so I have to thank you. ”

"The two of you are really serious......" Fan Xiu politely said two sentences, but he was half-puzzled in his heart.

The original meaning of the words, he was naturally clear.

Takenaka Hanbei is cautious, and if he is not fully sure of receiving credit, he is reluctant to rush into office. Hu Zai Zongyi has a very complicated religious background, and he doesn't dare to easily turn to any force. Therefore, although these two people saw the rise of Oda Nobunaga, it was difficult for them to take advantage of this shareholder wind. Pingshou sent his sister-in-law over as a student, which happened to make both of them indirectly participate in the "general trend of the world". This led to the imitation of other samurai in the two countries, which was the icing on the cake. In turn, Fan Xiu also trusts the teaching level of the two teachers, and it can be said that both sides take what they need.

Everyone understands the truth. But why emphasize it in such a sinister tone?

I was puzzled, so I simply asked in a half-joking context:

"Fanxiu's qualifications are dull, and it is difficult to know the meaning of a drunkard. Why did the two masters teach me, you might as well say it clearly. ”

Hearing this, Monk Huzai gave Takenaka a look, and the latter nodded lightly with a slight hesitation. Hisho could see a trace of worry on the faces of the two.

After a moment, it was Takenaka Hanbei who spoke first:

"I'll wait, first congratulate the Supervisor, and go to the post of guardian of the Izumi Kingdom."

Then, without waiting for Fan Xiu to reply, Hu Zai Zongyi added:

"Just from the words in the letter, you seem to have some doubts about it. At first, I thought it was because I was worried about the attitude of Oda Danmasa (Nobunaga). But after thinking about it, without the approval of his old man, the shogunate would not dare to issue this official appointment of the imperial secretary, and you would not accept it privately. The only plausible explanation for the two of us is that you're worried—"

Monk Huya and Shigeharu Takenaka glanced at each other, and then said in unison:

"Oda and Ashikaga will split in the future!"

Fan Xiu's expression suddenly sank.

A few foreshadowings vaguely mentioned in the letter were indeed discovered by two wise men.

At the beginning, I hid my feelings in the pen, and I didn't necessarily have the intention of asking for advice.

It's just—

Outsiders think that the "Tie Prisoner" is as cunning as a fox and as decisive as an eagle; The retainers felt that their lord was far-sighted and unfathomable; The family sees themselves as pillars of heaven and earth.

If this pillar falls, the enemy will pounce on the wolverine that smells of blood, and colleagues will not hesitate to divide the inheritance, while the family will have to survive under the roof of relatives and friends.

In this way, how can this cowardly mind be revealed? I can only force myself to forget.

To this day, I chatted with Tiger Takenaka in private, these two friends are rare talents, and they are very concerned about the matter of the tie, so they have exposed this trace of worry.

Truly. At the time, people may not have been aware of the differences between Oda and Ashikaga, or they may have underestimated the extent of the differences. But Fan Xiu knew that in the original history, only a year or two after the success of Shangluo, the two sides fought against each other, and the battle was very fierce, and even involved many daimyo forces in other countries, and the Oda family was once in an existential crisis.

This is fundamentally different from the wartime peace between Miyoshi Chokei and Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who were hostile to each other and dependent on each other. After all, the times have changed, and through means such as "land seizure" and "Rakushi", the Oda family today has a stronger control over the territory than the traditional guardian daimyo, and gradually needs the shogun's "public ceremony" signboard to endorse it.

At that time, some decisions made out of "friendship" between the two parties may need to be reconsidered.

And some people or things that symbolize the "friendship" of both sides are also fateful.

When his eyebrows were locked, he heard the low, calm and neutral voice of the half-soldier of Takenaka again:

"The first thing to worry about is probably that it is not tolerated by the Oda clan because of this. However, if you think about it carefully, even if the two sides turn against each other in the future, the Oda clan will not be able to kill the shogunate, but annex and absorb it. If you are under suspicion even if you are even a Tailade Supervisor, how can the rest of the people on the Ashikaga side be at ease? Although the shogunate had the intention of dividing the monarch and ministers, and perhaps Oda Danmasa was also angry about this, he did not act rashly with this anger. ”

Tiger Zai Zongyi's words are much more concise:

"How much is the amount of Oda playing the instrument, why do you need the poor monk to tell you? Shibata rebelled and returned, and the three of Mino had many years of old enemies, wise strangers. Dare to ask the prisoner, how is the kindness between you and the Oda clan compared to the above kings? ”

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Fan Xiu suddenly had a feeling of opening up.

Truly. Oda Nobunaga, Niwa, Shibata and others may have been emotionally dissatisfied with the fact that the shogunate was reused. But now that everyone is a politician with extraordinary status, how can they act on the basis of emotion alone?

With the status and resume of a tie, as long as there is no public rebellion, it cannot be easily disparaged, let alone dealt with further.

Nobunaga's style of acting is that he only takes the initiative to take advantage of the righteous name, and when has he ever been bound by the name? He was a rational and ruthless man of pragmatism. It may not be his original wish to put the flat hand in Izumi, but as long as the development of good results, he will only be happy to see it come to fruition, and will not think too much about the unhappiness at the beginning.

As for the historical Sakuma Nobumori, Lin Tongsheng, An Teng Shou and others, they also suffered bad luck after the first peace of the world. There are at least 10 years to go before that.

Why can't I figure this out myself?

Then Takenaka and Toraya are still speaking in turn:

"On the other hand, you may be worried that you will be besieged by the Ashikaga forces in the future, and the Oda family's forces in Omi Nikoku will not be able to rescue them. Actually, there is no need to worry too much about it. In the future, the real threat to the Oda family is Asakura Asai, Takeda Mori is far, and it may even be Ishiyama or Nagashima Issenmune. And in the vicinity of Izumi Province, there are nothing more than Ikeda, Wada, and Itami in Settsu, Hatakeyama and Miyoshi (Yoshitsugi) in Kawachi. Not to mention that they are not necessarily on the side of Ashikaga. Even if it is an enemy, it is not an opponent of your equals. ”

"Ishiyama Honganji, Kii Province, is troublesome. However, they have more than enough to defend the territory, and they are not enterprising enough, so it is not a big problem to put it aside for the time being. ”

"Therefore, Lord Supervisor, the only priority for you to leave the town and Izumi Country this time is still to pursue the remnants of the Three Good One Party! And only this is the only thing that Oda Danmasa or Gongkata will only be happy to see, and will never be restricted. ”

"Take this opportunity to master this country, so that you can receive a deeper level of trust from these two highnesses."

……

It took three or five minutes for the two of them to dissect the matter in a word, and the previous troubles actually melted away in a moment. All kinds of worries are actually groundless.

At present, the only two things that need to be done well, one bright and one dark, the bright side is to sweep away the remnants of the enemy who are temporarily hidden, and the secret is to gain a firm foothold in Izumi. If you can transform the 100,000 koku under the jurisdiction of the commander into 5,000 elite soldiers loyal to you, you can not worry too much about the opinions of Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki as you are now.

"If you care, you're messy."

Tiger Zai Zongyi finally said this sentence as the end of these words.

Hearing this, Pingshou Fan Xiu couldn't help but laugh.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. Or - the authorities are mysterious, and the bystanders are clear.

"Mino Kiriner" Takenaka Hanbei and "Tianxia Ermanna Gate" Tiger Zai Zongyi are naturally not mortals. But when it comes to the level of intelligence, few people will think that they are above the Tie Tsusu, who killed Imagawa and defeated the three good ones. As for the judgment of the general trend, for the time being, no one will be more accurate than a draw.

It's just that he has related interests, and he has to deal with many layers of internal and external relationships, so he is quite hesitant for a while.

At this time, Fan Xiu suddenly understood why those overlords in history, even though they themselves had a long-cherished strategy, still wanted to recruit a large group of non-ministered masterminds to be co-counselors.

The little preparation made in the past, although it was not enough to make Takenaka Hanbei and Toriya Zongyi stoop to take refuge, but after all, they still got today's reward.
