After resting at the castle for ten days, he sent his family to Gifu Castle to live with his Oda clan, and spent a few days relaxing in the castle, visiting relatives and friends and caring about his children's education. The pen, fun, and cabinet www.biquge.info were so stumbling that almost the entire month of May was delayed in the two countries.

In addition to the side room with the background of the two shoguns sent by Ji Samurai Ii Naotora and Ise Sadako, the lady of the main room, Inu, did not know who to listen to, and selected a pair of twin sisters from a rich peasant family from among the maids to make a bed and warm quilt in the Fanxiu room.

The elder sister is called a twig, and the younger sister is called a shallot, both of which are quite beautiful.

Although it was summer, the inner house of the Hite's family was full of spring.

Quiet and comfortable days always pass too quickly. But in this day and age, only those who hold the power can make their families feel comfortable and comfortable. In order to pursue power, Honxiu can only leave home again and go to the country of Izumi.

He was followed by dozens of ambitious retainers, as well as four or five hundred soldiers. Originally, Fanxiu had always relied on the 700 peasant soldiers in the city to fight, but over the years, the rewards for repeated victories and the policy guidance made most of the peasant soldiers simply give up farming and become professional soldiers with leading salaries. Therefore, these soldiers were able to break free from the shackles of the land and move to Izumi with the Heite family.

Not to mention the Mikawa people, when they learned that the shogunate could put them on the roster and return to the ranks of serious samurai, of course, they happily dragged their families forward.

The Tie Hideyi (Keiji) side was a bit troublesome, and the traditional peasant soldiers could not take it away, and only more than 50 people could make the trip.

There were also unexpected travelers who joined in, including more than 30 orphans adopted by Asano Nagayoshi, and nine doctors who had returned from their studies with Tokumoto Nagata.

The adoption of the orphan in the collar was proposed by Asano on a whim, and Tsunohide thought that he would not need much food, so he agreed. Now that a large number of children have finally reached adulthood, these careless people are naturally very active in going out with the army, eager to make meritorious contributions.

As for Nagata Tokumoto, he heard that he was not in good health and felt that the limit was approaching, so he returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion, sending the students sent by Toshihide home. After five years, nine of the ten children sent at the beginning returned from school, but one died unexpectedly.

In this regard, Fan Xiu could only sigh lightly and make these nine people the medical officers of the Pingshou family.

In addition, Yamauchi Kazutoyo and Horio Yoshiharu, relying on their distant relationship with the zygote, came to visit very respectfully. It was only after a few chats that I learned that although these two people fought the way to attack Mino and Shangluo, they never took off the head of a regular samurai, let alone made other achievements, so that they are still the lowest-level retainers who receive ten stones. From a secular point of view, it is difficult to say whether a retainer of this level will be regarded as a samurai by outsiders.

After some embarrassment, Fan Xiu decided to include these two people under his command. After all, he still has some ability, and he doesn't come over frequently to pull relationships. For the same reason, several young men from the Sugihara clan of Ningning's own family also received it. These relatives were even more miserable, except for Sugihara Sunbei, who inherited twenty stones, and the others did not even enter the Oda family roster. If this situation continues for one or two generations, then it really won't be regarded as a martial arts family.

……

At this time, Oda Nobunaga finally negotiated various matters with Ashikaga Yoshiaki and returned to Gifu Castle. It's just the opposite of Fanxiu's small team.

At the same time, the documents for Hirate Honhide's appointment as the guardian of Izumi were also received. With a total of more than 1,000 people, they drove into Kishiwada Castle.

Honhide could feel the enthusiasm of the Ashikaga side – Harimon Settsu and Ise Sadako to be exact. The former dragged the aging and sick body to visit, and the latter went directly to Omi to greet him, escorting Tsunohide all the way through Kyoto to Izumi.

After all, it was still relying on the operation of the other party to get this hot job, and Tsunohide was grateful, and of course he was very polite to these two high-ranking officials of the shogunate. But at the same time, apart from small favors such as giving women and solving the problem of the "establishment" of the Mikawa people, the Ashikaga family did not have much way to tie the interests of both parties.

Gratitude is only temporary, and if there is no mutual benefit, it is still unreliable after all.

On the side of the Oda family, in addition to confirming the service of the shogunate's reward, Nobunaga also instructed Hirate Honhide to serve as the "second order" of the Miyoshi family.

The position of "subordinate" means that the general manager manages all diplomatic and military operations against the power. Smaller plans are free to decide that they don't need escalation.

There are several others who have received similar appointments, and Niwa Nagahide is organizing a team to go to San'in to crusade against the Yamana clan who are unwilling to return Ikuno Ginzan to the "shogunate". Takigawa Kazuki was officially appointed to be in charge of the strategy against the Kitabatake family in Ise Province.

Shibata and Sakuma, who were stationed in Minami-Omi to sweep up the Rokkaku remnants, and Mori Kasei, who guarded the streets of Kyoto, did not explicitly take charge of their own affairs, but their knowledge and power increased greatly.

In addition, Akamatsu Masahide of Harima, who was oppressed by Urakami Sokei and Akamatsu Yoshisuke, Kodera Masashi and others, took the initiative to ask for help from the shogunate and the Oda family in the center.

However, the shogunate had few people to use, and the generals of the Oda family were all dispatched, so in the end, Katsumasa Ikeda of Settsu, Yumasa Wada, and Bessho Yasuharu of Higashi Harima were appointed to jointly send troops. The three forces together also have more than 10,000 troops, but they do not control each other, and the division of labor is unclear, making it difficult to be optimistic about the prospects in this direction.

Regardless of the situation, all in all, several Oda retainers came to prominence for a while, attracting more ronin to, eager to be reused by Nobunaga. A large number of letters were sent from Gifu Castle to, and heralds wearing the Oda family crest were constantly shuttling through the streets.

Of course, the draw also ushered in the herald. The details received are a long list of paperwork.

The first is a number of personnel changes.

Hite-hode moved to Wada Castle on the shore of Izumi Province and managed a country as a guardian. Kinoshita Hideyoshi was sealed to 3,000 stone and served as the Kai Machi Commissioner. Sasa Seimasa was sealed to 8,000 stones, led 500 soldiers, and built a castle in Thousand Stones. Tie hand Xiuyi was sealed to 5,500 stones, and entered the original city. Noguchi Masatoshi was sealed to 300 koku and moved to live under Kishiwada Castle. Ikutsu Sadashi was often sealed up to 200 koku and moved to live under Kishiwada Castle......

There is no need to look at the list in detail, all of them are relatives of the Hijo family. Most of them only have a few dozen stone hereditary ancestral industries, and they have never been able to show their talents, and they can only be the head of the ashigaru group. This time, they all threw it over. There are only three names that are really worth seeing, except for Xiuyi, who took the initiative to come over, the other two are the main topic.

Sasa Narumasa is a close servant of Nobunaga, and there is no problem with loyalty at all, and he is also a friend and potential son and daughter of Hinosu, so putting this person here can not only serve as a surveillance, but also not cause too much dissatisfaction.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi's Kaimachi is a little tangled. He is directly responsible to Nobunaga for his position, but his administration must also rely on a tie, otherwise his troops are not as large as the families of the merchants of Kaimachi, and the deterrent power is too lacking. Now it's a little unclear whether he is a force or a direct minister! But correspondingly, as long as he keeps a firm eye on Kaimachi, he will be appreciated by Nobunaga to a greater extent.

By the way, if you think about it carefully, he has also fought under the tie before, so he has a certain origin.

This is followed by Nobunaga's prescribeable policy provisions:

"One, Kinoshita Hideyoshi is the Kai Town, and Imai Munehisa is the head of the meeting. These two positions cannot be changed. If there is any accident that has to be dealt with, it should be reported immediately. ”

"Second, the daily government affairs and dispute judgments of the Kaimachi shall be handled by Kinoshita Hideyoshi, the Kaimachi Commissioner, and shall be jointly signed by the guardian Daidai Heishou Tsuhideshi and the head of the rendezvous Masuhisa Imai, and if there is a dispute between many people, it will be reported to the Oda family for arbitration."

"Third, the taxation and laws of Kaimachi shall not be changed without permission."

"Fourth, the guardian Daihei Honhidewa Kaimachi enshrined Kinoshita Hideyoshi shall not levy additional money or forced labor from Kaimachi."

"Fifth, except for the Zhixing land of Kaimachi and the family and power, the rest of the country is inspected by Hirate Honhide, and then distributed."

"Sixth, the law-abiding Chinese people and temples will be blocked, and the violators will be crusaded, and the tie will be adjudicated."

"Seventh, when receiving a military order, a tie can only issue a mobilization order in the country. But Kaimachi did not have to respond to the mobilization. If it is against the Miyoshi family, it is not among them, because of the position, it can be mobilized without receiving orders. ”

……

There are a total of sixteen orders, and many of the first ones speak of Kaimachi, and the latter clauses also exclude Kaimachi from the rule of the guardian generation. Nobunaga's intentions can be imagined, and he must firmly grasp this important commercial town in his hands. However, other clauses also make it clear that other territories give Fanxiu free discretion. Overall, although a bit strict, it is generally expected.

This is best reflected in the fact that a series of people or things related to Miyoshi were also handed over to Honhide, including Iwanari Yutong, who intended to surrender.

After hearing about this, the first thing Hirate wanted to do when he went to work was to immediately meet Iwanari under house arrest.

Izumi is an old land that has been operated by the Miyoshi family for many years, and it is self-evident that it is important to grasp this site.

But before that, it was normal to meet with Youli and his colleagues first.

Of course, there is no need for a tie Hideyi, and Noguchi and Ikutsu are not in a hurry. These relatives had already talked about it all when Owari was on vacation.

The first to come was Sasa Narumasa. He took a dozen retainers of the Sasa family and one hundred and twenty people from Ashigaru who were willing to leave the land, and traveled lightly, much faster than the large team of the Hirate family.

When I was a child, my friends were high and low, and Fan Xiu was a little uncomfortable, but Zuo Zuo was no different, bowing to Shi Shi in 1510, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Meet the Taute Warden."

Fan Xiu also honestly accepted this etiquette. He understood that Zozo attached great importance to uprightness and fortitude, at least in public, and the two could no longer talk and laugh as before.

So there weren't too many greetings, and he went straight to inspect the army with this force.

Needless to say, discuss military affairs all the way. Until it was discovered that the team formed by Asano Nagayoshi's adopted orphans, with little equipment and no flag horse prints, only a simple flag with the word "Ren" written on it was written to express gratitude to the Hisho Tsuhide.

Zuozuo, who has always been serious, couldn't help but smile when he saw it:

"The saint of soldiers said: generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, bravery, and strictness. Now there is a 'benevolent word preparation', I don't know where the other four preparations are? ”

After so many years, he likes to read Chinese books, and his habit of quoting allusions has not changed. The tie was overjoyed, and said happily: "Then it will be formed in the future, otherwise these five preparations are not complete, why will it be?" ”

said it casually, but he didn't take it to heart, but Asano Nagayoshi, who loves to be lively behind his back, had bright eyes.

Just then, someone reported that Kinoshita-sama had arrived.

Half a day slower than Zozo is not rude. But Fan Xiu didn't need to take the initiative to greet him, so he ordered his subordinates to take people directly to the barn.

A moment later, two voices entered.

"Peacemate-sama!"

The sharp-beaked monkey gills, in his early thirties, is Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and due to the change of history by Hisho Hideyoshi, I don't know when the name Hideyoshi was changed. The back is stubby and slightly old, but it looks like it's-

"Good day, two adults. I see that the lord's letter only sent Kinoshita Hall to come, and the Wasuka Hall is ......"

This is not the heroic man of the Owari people in the past, Bee Suga Koroku. I know that he has a good relationship with Kinoshita Hideyoshi, but it doesn't have to be together, right? And at present, Wasuka's Zhixing should be much higher than Kinoshita's, how did Nobunaga arrange it?

When he asked this, both of them had a sad face on their faces.

After careful questioning, I found out that these two people were very active on the way to Shangluo, although they did not take charge of themselves, but they also had the work of dogs and horses, and Nobunaga gave Kinoshita Hideyoshi 3,000 stones, so that he could take charge of the Kaimachi. And Bee Suka was sealed to 5,000 stone and promoted to the rank of general.

It's just that this state of knowledge and action hasn't been covered yet, and there are happy and sad things. The people close to the Oda family thoroughly investigated the military discipline since Kamiraku, and found that several of Wasuka's subordinates had violated strict orders last year and illegally plundered and oppressed merchants near Kyoto. Wasuka himself even knew about it and helped cover up the signs. In a fit of rage, Nobunaga immediately executed the offenders and announced that the Wasuka party would be expelled.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi pleaded hard and was scolded. But it was also able to save a little bit of the situation, and the final solution was to confiscate the territory of Beesuka Koroku and send him to be Kinoshita's deputy, and the two would divide the three thousand stone Zhixing equally.

This time, Kinoshita Hideyoshi worked hard for almost two years, which is equivalent to working in vain, and Bee Suga is even worse, he has more than 200 henchmen, and his fortune has shrunk to 1,500 koku, and it is estimated that he can barely eat enough.

Fan Xiu couldn't help but sigh and appeased a few words.

No matter how many times Nobunaga ordered him to reiterate, he was not allowed to take it in Kyoto after going to Luo, and there were always people who committed crimes against the wind. It's just a little surprising, it's been so long, why is it being dealt with now?

Sasa Narumasa stood aside and was silent. He was trusted by Nobunaga, and he was always by his side, but he had heard of it. It was because some people were jealous and falsely accused the flat of undisciplined military discipline and plundering the people, which triggered a formal and thorough investigation.

The matter ...... Let's talk to him privately.
