Chapter Forty-Seven: Grace and Might
Imagawa Yoshimoto died in battle, and nearly a year has passed in an instant, and the things that shocked the near and far at the beginning have gradually been forgotten by the passage of time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNo matter what kind of martial arts Daisuke has established at the beginning, human beings are still more concerned about what kind of benefits the current lord can bring to his subordinates.
Judging by the news coming from the east, it seems that the Imagawa clan is also actively taking measures to maintain the name of the house, but the effect is not good, and it repeatedly backfires. The genealogy of Junfu City is just gone, but the wealthy families of Yuanjiang and Sanhe and Liangzhou gradually don't listen to the greeting. The Imagawa clan tried to re-establish their power with a butcher's knife, but it backfired, causing the old ministers to become more and more distracted.
In light of this, the Matsudaira family's efforts to unify Nishi-Mikawa coincided with increasingly frequent contacts with Oda, although the latter was noncommittal. Even when Matsudaira Motoyasu's handwritten letter arrived, Nobunaga just replied "I know" and continued to be busy with his own affairs. Several discerning people could see that he was waiting for news from Mino.
Rumors that Yoshiryu Saito has leprosy have been going on for two years, but there has been no accurate information. This man was not only good at commanding troops but also extremely proficient in strategy, both good at maneuvering local generals and not shy away from using dark methods such as sniping, if he was still alive, Oda would not be able to make progress on the northern front, and the previous repeated use of troops was only barely a draw.
If Saito does not die, the strategy of Oda's Northern Expedition may change, and the choice of the Eastern Front will naturally be confused. Whether an ally is needed or not may have to be reconsidered.
When the exterior is still unclear, the only way to make internal adjustments is to make adjustments first. Based on the actual needs and the experience of their predecessors, the Oda family began to gradually inspect the land, slowly transitioning from the Guangao system to the Shigao system, and a large number of village head servants were either incorporated into retainers or reduced to commoners, losing their former privileges and status, and the military service system was fine-tuned. At the same time, trade was further developed in Tsushima and Atsuta, attracting merchants from all over the world. By defeating Imagawa's might, most of the wallhead grass in the two eastern prefectures of Owari were also incorporated into retainers and accepted the leadership of the Oda family, and those who were still ambiguous were naturally the targets of the next move. However, forces such as temples and shrines have not been in a hurry to deal with them for the time being, and even if many restless monks insist on refusing to give up the right of inaccessibility and the right to adjudicate independently, Nobunaga did not insist, but made a compromise.
The total strength of the Demon King's hands has expanded to more than 300,000 stones, and the number of troops on paper exceeds 20,000 - of course, there are still a lot of unstable factors in this, and in fact, only half of them can be used. This requires further adjustments.
The 1,500 guan Zhixing of the Tieshou Honxiu was converted to 4,290 stone when the land was inspected, and at the same time, the territory and military service of the retainers began to be gradually adjusted. In addition, there are some merits accumulated in this year.,The battle exploits of repelling the Kira family are still conspicuous in this dull year.,Although the internal affairs didn't interfere in the land inspection, he was still in charge of the work of the commercial town.,Appropriate rewards can be expected.。
At the end of the year, it is still through the tea party to contact feelings.,Important people are still left behind afterwards.,This time Hite-hon-show entered the audience with Niwa Nagahide.。
"Why didn't you bring the dog?"
As soon as I entered the door, this is the sentence that splits my head and covers my face.
"Back to Your Highness, she is a little uncomfortable, so she ......"
"Huh?" Nobunaga's eyebrows immediately curled up, as if he was about to have an attack.
However, he had long been immune to this Fan Xiu, and he sat down unhurriedly, and replied:
"I asked the doctor to see it, and it seems that I have been pregnant for a month or two."
"Oh? Not bad...... "Nobunaga was overjoyed, "I'm afraid this cultivation skill is not inferior to me!" ”
In the past three years, three sons and a young lady have been born in the inner courtyard of Cheongshu Castle, and at this time, two side rooms are pregnant, and Nobunaga seems to be quite proud of this.
However, is it okay to talk about this in front of your inner family?
Looking sideways, Niwa Nagahide was still unheard of, but his wife hung her head shyly. Mrs. Guidie, who was sitting on the seat, could only smile bitterly and look at her husband helplessly.
"If it's a baby boy, let him serve as an attendant of Wonder Maru (Oda Nobutada's infant name) for a few years!"
Suddenly, in a blink of an eye, it changed from a joke to a serious command.
Although there is no lack of surveillance, there is no hindrance, and if the Oda family controls the world in the future, it will be a rare political capital. Fan Xiu didn't think much about it, and immediately said that he obeyed the order - even if he objected, it would not be useful.
Then Nobunaga stared at Niwa Nagahide solemnly.
"Wulang Zuo, you are five years older than Shizuo, it seems that you have put too little effort into this area!"
At this moment, Niwa couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it, so he could only nod his head in embarrassment, and his wife's head was about to hang to the floor. Fan Xiu could only hold back a smile and bow her head silently, admiring the artistic taste of the carpet......
"Today, Your Highness is going to talk to you about some important things, so let's leave first!"
Gui Die got up with a light smile and pulled Lady Niwa out the back door.
Nobunaga's expression became more and more arrogant, but he said as if he didn't care, "Do you have a plan about whether to fight Mino or Mikawa next?" ”
Generally speaking, when this person asks a question, he does not ask you to provide an answer, but wants the people below to guess what he or she thinks. Both of you are clearly aware of this.
Niwa thought for a moment and then replied that it was Mino, and Honhide further added that Oda Nobukiyo of Inuyama Castle might not be able to be trusted.
Nobunaga was noncommittal, but went on to ask, "What about Mikawa?" ”
"You can support an ally, and you can also create chaos to prevent someone from getting big, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send troops directly."
Niwa replied without hesitation, and the tie was still added later. It is always beneficial to lower your profile on such occasions.
……
After continuous questioning, Nobunaga nodded slightly, obviously satisfied, and the next step was the official mission.
"Goro, you're in charge of Mino's strategy, and you're left...... The last time I did a good job against the Kira family, let's continue to be in charge of Mikawa! ”
"Yes."
"Understood."
Fanxiu's face was as calm as water, but her heart shook slightly. In this way, in the internal sequence of the Oda family, is he already a figure on the same level as Niwa?
Niwa's job explanation is not troublesome, and there is a slight problem with the tie here.
"There are some problems with the few wealthy families in the west of the city, and about two thousand stones will be handed over to you! Just go to Yoshibei (Murai Sadakatsu) later. Nobunaga said as he looked sideways at Honhide.
It seems that he is going to use a knife, but when he earns 2,000 koku with a knife, it is also an unexpected joy, plus there are a total of 6,000 koku under the command of these territories, and even surpasses Sakuma Nobumori and Mori Kosei, and is second only to Hayashi Sado, Shibata and Niwa in Owari.
However, this kind of windfall always feels inappropriate. The next topic, I'm afraid, is not so easy.
"By the way, that guy from Wasuka visited you recently!"
Sure enough, the scene came.
"Yes, it's through the relationship of the Sasa family......"
This is not intended to be hidden, no matter how energetic Oda Nobunaga is, he is just a normal human being, and he always needs important ministers to share these side relationships.
"Then I'll leave the affairs of Wasuka to Sasa in charge of it in the future." Nobunaga took over the conversation seemingly unintentionally, "You're still concentrating on Mikawa." In addition, the Nine Ghost Jialong side can also be delivered to specialized people. ”
I see...... Strengthen its branches and cut its leaves, and help with grace and power!
It seems that Nobunaga is not afraid of the rapid expansion of the power of his retainers, but is very sensitive to forming a party, and Honhide secretly wrote this down, and then bowed down to the leader.
