At the beginning of December of the 10th year of Eiroku (1567), Oda Nobunaga, who had just been withdrawn from the Ise raids, conveyed his intention that he would go to Rakuro again after the New Year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoJudging from the clues in the letter, it is likely that this time it is likely to deal with the imperial court.

It is said that the Oda family has always had no connections in Kyoto because of their origins. Nobuhide, the former head of the family, was given an official position from the five subordinates, which he bought from the imperial court at a cost of 4,000 pieces of silver. Later, in order to facilitate the raid on the Matsudaira family, it was replaced by Mikawa Mamoru, which was another entry. The person who handled these two orders of business was Pingshou Zhengxiu, so Fanxiu has a deep memory.

After Nobunaga succeeded him, although he always called himself "Kami-Sosuke", he was actually not officially recognized, and later followed the same path as his father, sending a huge amount of money in exchange for "Owari Mamoru". It wasn't until he was based on Liyi Zhao Shangluo that he finally turned over and became "Danzheng Shaozhong".

Although this official is still from the fifth position, he belongs to the "Danzhengtai", a supervisory body that is not affected by the Taizheng Official, and is more noble than ordinary state officials. Although the function of this bullet has long since been lost - or it has not worked much since its inception, it still has a certain symbolic meaning.

This time Nobunaga came, he must have gone further. The chief official of the "Danshodai", "Danmasa-yin", has always been held by the prince of the imperial family, and it is not granted to outsiders, so it is speculated that Nobunaga may be promoted to "Dansho Daibi", which is second only to "Dansho-yin". The corresponding rank of this official is at least the fifth rank, and it is generally appointed as the fourth rank. In this way, it can be regarded as in line with the identity of the Oda family to control several countries and control Kyoto.

Naturally, we should pay special attention to such important matters.

The Oda family had withdrawn from the Yamashiro Province and returned the administration to the shogunate, leaving only Naomasa to maintain contact with the imperial court. All the generals of the Kinai region were instructed to come together to make a strong reputation, including Niwa Nagahide of Tajima Province, Heite Honhide of Izumi Kuni, Kazui Takigawa of Kita Ise, Mori Kasei of Shiga County, Nobumori Sakuma of Kurita County, and Shibata Katsuie of Yasu County. And Nobunaga himself will take the two ministers of Omi. Anyway, it's hard to use troops in the middle of winter, so it's okay to leave temporarily.

There will be celebrations such as sumo wrestling tournaments and Noh performances to boast of the strength of the Oda family.

In this regard, Ashikaga Yoshiaki may have proposed to the imperial court out of consideration of resistance, and now the shogunate is in the middle of the rise, to change the name of the era to signify the change, and implement the ritual of "changing the yuan". At the same time, he invited many local powers that expressed their submission to Beijing to observe the ceremony, including Yamato Matsunaga, Kawachi Hatakeyama, Tanba Akai, Tango Isshiki, Settsu Ikeda, Itami, etc., and even Asakura, Asai, and Tokugawa were also counted.

Looking at the list alone, Yoshiaki seems to be able to stand up to Nobunaga, but the question is, are the subjugating forces loyal to the shogunate, Ashikaga, or neither? That's hard to answer.

Regardless of the real situation, the hi hand honshu reacted positively to this, and immediately rushed to the mountain city country with three hundred people. Let Sasa Naruma help organize other retainers and Izumi people who need to participate in the event.

However, he didn't know if he was lost or what was going on, so when he arrived near Kyoto, he didn't stop, and then went north and entered Takashima-gun, Omi Province, and walked for most of the day.

As soon as you walked like this, you arrived at the western shore of Lake Biwa.

Unlike the vast and fertile plains on the eastern shore, Lake Biwa is surrounded by mountains, with only a formal road opening up along the lake, and other pristine mountains that could not accommodate large groups of people or oxen and horses.

Even the only main road can only accommodate 10 people walking side by side, and it winds and turns, up and down, up and down, and the map looks less than 20 towns (2 km) in a straight line, but it takes an hour to walk.

The snow that had fallen in Takashima County a few days ago has not yet melted, and both sides of the road are white, and only one or two lines of sparse footprints can be seen every few hundred steps, so it is obvious that there are very few residents nearby.

In the famous "Kanegasaki Palace", it was from here that the Oda Army passed.

After seeing the real scene, Fan Xiu became more and more determined, and this incident should be avoided as much as possible. Carrying out a diversion on a route that lacks supplies and has difficult roads can be a disaster for the army.

I don't know if in the original history, whether Oda's ability to escape was too strong or Asakura's pursuit was too slow, and he actually let the army get out without causing a snowballing collapse.

The game and Taiga drama do not explain this in detail, only some of Kinoshita Hideyoshi's deeds of participating in the palace, but the process is also unknown, there are many doubts, and the novelist's words are very colorful.

Hirate doesn't want to use his life to explore this truth. What if the world line changes, the Oda of the original plane is not so powerful, or Asakura is not so wasteful?

He couldn't help but look forward to Akao Kiyotsuna a little more. If Asai's main force really moved west to Harima, even if there was any change, it would not change between the elbows and armpits, and there would be no reaction time.

But on the other hand, you should not put all your hopes on others, and you should also prepare a little preparation plan yourself.

"It's hard to walk......"

Fan Xiu sighed to herself, stepping on the snow in the mountains, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and her face showed a hint of worry. He thought of the letters that had been coming back from Kita-Omi recently.

The ninjas sent to collect information about the Asai family have achieved some results, and according to the results of the investigation, Akao Kiyotsuna has lost his authority for a long time, and his seclusion is true, but the influence is controlled in a small area and has not spread. Judging from Nobunaga's reaction, he only thought it was a family matter of his brother-in-law, and he didn't take it to heart.

On the other hand, Oda gave birth to a baby boy last month, bringing an heir of Oda blood to the Asai family, which greatly weakened the anti-Oda atmosphere in the family. Many of the middle and lower class samurai were optimistic that Nobunaga would sooner or later make some concessions in the territorial divide for the sake of this child.

Pingshou Fanxiu was preoccupied, his pace gradually slowed down, and he looked at the road and was silent.

This time, he asked Kawada Naga and Honda Masanobu to stay behind, and brought Numata Yumitsu and Iwanari Tomoto with him. Numata has always acted freely, and without receiving an order, he didn't bother to take the initiative to guess what Tsutsu Shu thought; The experienced Iwanari saw some signs, but he was not familiar with the tie and didn't know if it was inappropriate to speak rashly, so he also kept quiet.

Naohu Jing is a clever man, but he is worrying about the safety of this mountain, and he has no time to think about anything else.

In the distance, there are the two siblings of the Akao family. Heite Honhide's family was not in Kishiwada Castle, and it was inconvenient to accommodate the two children, so he simply brought them to Kyoto. And these two people may be able to play some role later.

The retainers around Fan Xiu either didn't notice his actions, or they noticed it, but they didn't dare to make a sound, but a girl who had been secretly staring at him whispered:

"My lord, if you are worried about the transportation on this road, you may want to consider the water transportation of Lake Biwa."

The girl's crisp and soft voice came into her ears, which made Fanxiu suddenly stunned.

Yes, such a simple question, why didn't you think of it? Lake Biwa has always had many merchants engaged in the water transportation business! If you want to rent to transport troops, it is obviously feasible.

So Fan Xiu glanced back at the girl, smiled and nodded at her.

Then I saw that the young lady of the Akao family was full of shame, her body shook, as if she couldn't stand, she buried her head deeply, her face was so red that she was about to drip water, and her hands grabbed the corners of her clothes and rubbed them continuously, accompanied by a sound of muttering......

Instead of continuing to look at her, she immediately summoned Yumitsu Numata and asked him to use his connections in to connect with the water forces of Lake Biwa.

At the same time, I also secretly admired in my heart, this daughter of the Akawei family, her thinking can be called very agile, and she can see at a glance what she is worried about.

By the way, what's this girl's name? Remember the name of a flower? Ame? Alan? None of that seems right......

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this kind of flower has appeared in the works of a certain literati, is it Zhou Dunyi's "lotus" or Tao Yuanming's "chrysanthemum"?
