Chapter Seventy-Nine: Good News from All Directions
The auction held on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info That's why it's called a "five-day meeting".
Calculating the time, in order to gather enough money before the situation changed, the shogunate collected a bunch of luxury items that night, including 30 famous calligraphy and paintings, 10 rare ancient books, 15 precious tea utensils, and 7 Lianggong sculptures.
In order to save time in identifying and verifying the origin, Tsunohide wrote a letter of recommendation and asked Asano Nagayoshi, who was in charge of the auction, to "act cheaply".
Then Hirate remembered Nobunaga's serious matter - that is, to cooperate with the only remaining Kyoto garrison Naomasa to pave the way for the grand event at the beginning of next spring. Specifically, Nobunaga planned to hold a large-scale sumo tournament and Noh performance in Kyoto, and the venue and personnel had to be prepared first.
Although the work is complicated, it is not tiring, it is nothing more than holding a signed note from the government to recruit people, rent venues, and purchase materials...... Anyway, the Kyoto government didn't dare to wear small shoes for the Oda family, and as soon as it was applied, it was reimbursed by Nobunaga, a big benefactor, so they just had to spend their money carefully.
As things progressed one by one, the time progressed toward the end of the year, and the samurai who had been invited to Kyoto for the "annual meeting" began to arrive gradually. He met with his colleagues one by one and learned from them about the latest developments on various fronts.
First of all, the Ise strategy led by Takigawa Kazuki and personally led by Oda Nobunaga finally came to an end after two years. The independent nobles of Northern Ise were either annihilated or incorporated into the rule and became Vassals of the Oda family; The Nagano clan and the Kobe clan in the middle of the country could not withstand the pressure and obeyed; Only the Minami Ise Kitabatake family resolutely resisted, but they were defeated again and again under the army, and there were traitors, and they finally succumbed.
Nobunaga sent his second son, the third son, and his younger brother Shinbu, to the homes of Kitabatake, Kobe, and Nagano respectively, and forced them to adopt them as adopted sons and make them heirs. In this way, the three forces were brought under the command in a way that did not tear their faces.
Kitabatake taught this person to be of noble birth, his official position is similar to that of today's public party, and he is also both civil and military, and he is determined to forge ahead, so he has a good talent. Before the attack of Oda, in addition to inheriting half of the national inheritance, he also annexed the Shima country, as well as the two prefectures of Anno and Uto, creating the largest territory of the Kitabatake family of Ise Kuniji. During the capture of Anno Prefecture, he forced the Nagano family to take his younger brother as his heir, and this was a way to achieve the occupation.
Unexpectedly, today he actually experienced the feeling of inviting you into the urn, and now it is his turn to be forced to live in seclusion, giving up the governor of the family to Nobunaga's second son, Oda Cha Tsumaru, who has not yet been served. It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. In the face of the unstoppable historical process, the results of half a lifetime of personal struggle have come to naught.
The people who were most interested in this topic were Hasegawa Hashisuke and Yazaburo Kato, who were sent by Nobunaga to fight the outpost, and these two guys sang and harmonized, and described to Tsunohide with exaggerated facial expressions: "You don't know that our Oda family sent 70,000 people in this battle!" It's not a claim, it's really 70,000! Owari, Mino, Minami Omi, North Ise, Shikoku wealthy families are here! After a few circles under Okochi Castle, there were too many military flags to count, and the rats of the Kitabatake family were immediately frightened......"
Fan Xiu could only laugh at this.
Hasegawa Hashisuke and Yazaburo Kato are really special people. Both of these goods are personal soldiers who have followed Nobunaga since childhood, and their qualifications are very old. In the same group of people, in addition to the two captains of Sasa and Maeda, Hitaku Honhide and Naomasa Takumi were the first to get ahead, Nakagawa Shigemasa and Bee House Yoritaka were promoted to serve generals who led thousands of troops, and Tsuda Moritsuki and Kanamori Nagajin were also appointed as the sole executives. Even Hidetaka Kawajiri, who has just joined for a few years, has a tendency to emerge.
So far, among the first group of soldiers who followed Nobunaga, the people who were still standing still could be counted on one hand. The common denominator of these people is that they act as recklessly and recklessly as they did during the "Owari Great Fool" period, completely ignoring family rules and political considerations.
For example, Hasegawa Hashisuke, this guy still privately calls Hiseki "very left", as if everyone is still on an equal level.
With such a style of dealing with people, I really don't know whether to evaluate it as simple or brain-dead.
It can only be said that there is indeed a reason why he still can't be promoted in the most easily promoted pro-soldier team.
This guy's tone has always been the least strict, and by the way, he confided all the news he knew. As a pro-soldier, he has access to a lot of military intelligence.
"In addition to you pacifying Izumi, Niwa is also going well on Tajima's side. Originally, I didn't plan to gather 10,000 or 20,000 people to help you occupy Izumi, but then I didn't use it, so I followed Niwa to Tajima and attacked the mountain master with Maori. The name of the mountain, Youfeng, was driven out in half a month without fighting, and now it is our turn to take charge of the Shengye Silver Mountain. However, Dan Ma Xi was picked up by the Maori family. β
"Niwa is also not bad, just went to persuade one of the four heavenly kings of the mountain name, but what is even more powerful is Maori Yuan, directly served the other three in one pot, in fact, it didn't fight much at all, and it was a steady win by relying on internal response."
"Sakuma and Shibata have done a few real battles in Minami Omi, and they have eliminated almost two thousand in total! The lord said that now the remnants of the hexagonal army are not supplied, and they all rely on the support of the old capital, and the loss of 2,000 is enough for them to turn over. β
"Settsu? I didn't care much about it.,I heard that it was IkedaγBessho and the like went to Harima.,It seems that a lot of good news was reported first.,But slowly I don't know how to stop it.γ I think this group of wall grass is still unreliable, and of course we still need our own people from the Oda family to fight the world. β
"Yamato Matsunaga is similar, Sakuma brought more than 10,000 reinforcements to support him, but he still couldn't completely clean up a small tsutsuwell. I think Sakuma deliberately released the water at all, but there's nothing wrong with that! Why do you want to use your family's soldiers to help Matsunaga fight? β
"Tokugawa? I heard that it was almost as good as Takeda to divide up Imagawa, and it should be very smooth, and he came to help every time the family fought together! If you want me to say that Lord Tokugawa Mikawa (Ieyasu) is really powerful, almost half of our lord's ability! β
"By the way, there's something I have to tell you, it's so interesting! Didn't Tamba have a Hatano family that occupied a small half of the country, I don't know if they were too closed or too stupid, and they didn't even make a statement immediately after we went to Luo, this time it was supposed to be a crusade with Yamana, and guess what? They didn't know where to take out a little boy, saying that it was to protect the orphans of the previous generation of the princess, so not only did they have no fault, but they had merit. And the Lord really believed in them! β
Pingshou Tunxiu, who had been smiling indifferently as an audience, didn't consciously "huh" until this news, his face was surprised, and he immediately asked:
"The orphan of the former generation of the public party, this matter is not trivial, how is the bloodline determined? And what was done? β
"Well...... Hasegawa shook his head indifferently, "I don't know how I decided it, but I know that the lord raised that child well." I heard that Hatano took the path of a monk, and it was the one called 'Tiger Ya Soyi', wasn't it you who introduced it to the lord? β
Fan Xiu nodded, feeling a little complicated.
This orphan of Ashikaga Yoshiki has no impression at all in his memory of his previous life.
With this chess piece, Nobunaga undoubtedly has one more card to play in front of Yoshiaki.
