Chapter Seventy-One: The Fifth Shangluo (I)

Oda Nobunaga has always been vigorous and efficient. As soon as Sakuma's father and son figured out what was going on, and before they could make up an excuse, they ushered in the "Great Chincha" of Sugaya Naga, so they could only obediently bow their heads and confess their guilt and go back to Mino to "explain the problem". The two prefectures of Kurita and Koga under his rule were temporarily "collected" and handed over to the Oda family to manage.

The specific punishment measures have not been made public, but in order to stabilize the mood of the merchants and the order of the Kaimachi, Nobunaga probably wants to make a gesture of "severely punishing the culprit".

At the same time, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, the commissioner of Kai Town, also received an order to immediately convene a number of powerful wealthy businessmen through the pen of "Rendezvous" Imai Munehisa to give policy preferences and political promises.

In this way, the negative impact of the matter was initially brought under control and did not cause much disaster.

On the other hand, the deceased Ikenaga had been deeply involved with the Miyoshi family for a long time, and he was forced to surrender to Oda. Now that this guy has died unexpectedly, it can be regarded as ruling out a factor of instability.

After the death of this person, 40% of the shares of "Notoya" owned by him were divided and inherited by his three sons. This rich second generation must have a deep opinion of the Oda family, but they are both grown up in the deep house, and the amount of equipment is far inferior to that of the previous generation, and they are not in harmony with each other, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

As one of the parties involved, Hirate Hide's movements were not slow, and he assigned Hattori Hidean to rush to Gifu Castle day and night, followed the path of Matsui Yukan, and took the initiative to admit his mistake to Nobunaga without hiding it at all.

At first, he just wanted to use the sensitivity of Kaimachi to collude with Lin Xiuzhen and compete for power with Sakuma, and finally made a big case of "murdering a wealthy businessman in Kaimachi", which was indeed unexpected.

Because of his good attitude and the right timing, he was exempted from punishment, but it was dictated by Nobunaga and ghostwritten by Murai Sadakatsu, who sent a harshly worded letter and severely criticized it.

In this way, the situation of Hequan is quite embarrassing.

The theoretical administrator, the guardian appointed by the shogunate, hid in Kishiwada Castle and shivered, just to protect himself. Miki Masaki and Iio Maharuka not only lost all their troops, but also lost their prestige and prestige cleanly.

The "rebels" of the temple shrine have been defeated by the Sakuma army, and even the invited Saga mercenaries have been defeated and returned home. However, Sakuma's father and son were captured and returned to Gifu Castle for training, and it was naturally impossible for his army to stay behind to clean up the post-war situation.

Ise Sadako originally recommended himself, claiming to solve the problem by appeasement. But the method of appeasement seems to have gone bankrupt, and he himself was once reduced to a lost dog, and now he has no confidence to speak.

In order to fight with Ise Sadako, Isshiki Fujinaga tried his best to persuade Sakuma Nobumori to send troops, and it was successful for a time. But after the retirement of Sakuma's soldiers, he himself had no reputation and could not do anything.

As for the other nearby forces, it is even more impossible to get involved in them when they have no reputation and no superior strength.

As a result, this area between the Ashikaga and Oda families, where the ownership rights were ambiguous, temporarily became the "three regardless" zone.

From the confiscation of land by the shogunate, to the rebellion of the temples and shrines, and then to the intervention of the Sakuma army, it took only a month to complete the battle, and although it did not spread to distant countries, it was enough for the local residents to sweat.

Under these circumstances, Nobunaga finally began to make a move, first sending an envoy and ordering Hirate Honhide to lead his troops into Izumi to temporarily maintain law and order. Then he issued a summoning order to the two countries of Omi, declaring that he would lead the army to Shangluo.

Starting from the beginning of the ninth year of Eiroku and embracing the foothold of Yoshiaki, in the space of three years and a few months, this is the fifth time that Oda Nobunaga has waved his army to Shangluo. Although he did not sit in Kinai like Ouchi Yoshiko and Miyoshi Chokei, he did not relax his connection with Kyoto at all.

And every time I go to Luo, there will be something to gain, not in vain.

With these five actions of the Oda family, the tie Tsuyohide also rose at the same time.

For the first time, he supported Ashikaga Yoshiaki to sit in the position of the general of the Seiyi, and then Heite Honhide was sent to Yamazaki Castle south of Kyoto as a garrison, with 3,000 soldiers and horses.

The second time he went to Luo, it was after the defeat of Miyoshi counterattack in the battle of Ruojiang Castle, and because of his own merits and "dirty political reasons", he became the guardian of Izumi.

The third time was the New Year's banquet in the first year of Motogame, when the Hiteshu succeeded in convincing Asai Nagamasanishi to Harima, and held an iron cannon contest in Kyoto to promote his own "auction" and build the foundation of his commercial power.

The fourth time he went to Rakuro was after returning from the expedition to Shikoku, when he returned from the Tie Sho Hide, and obtained the official position of "Shojo from the Five Lower Nakato" and the position of "Awaji Guardian", becoming a giant in the Seto Inland Sea. However, he also handed over the honor guard of the Izumi guardian generation.

Correspondingly, a large number of Oda retainers have also "ascended to heaven", except for after the Hirate Honhide, Niwa Nagahide, Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Takigawa Kazuki and others have jurisdiction close to 100,000 stones. Although most of them are escrow for the time being, the name has not yet been officially established. (Just when the Shigao system has been popularized in this era)

As for those who know and do more than 10,000, they can't be counted on two hands.

The eldest relatives of the Hete, as a courtier, also got 1,700 koku, which is already the treatment of the elder of the family.

Including those small forces that have just been attached to the family for a short time, as long as they have not been "in the same stream" with the Miyoshi family before, they can eat a little leftovers.

During this period, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's feelings were more complicated.

The Oda family rose and expanded step by step, and all played the banner of the shogunate, which objectively made the authority of the shogunate rise somewhat, and the weight of Yoshiaki's own words also increased.

However, on the other hand, Oda's power became stronger and stronger, and the suppressive power of the shogunate gradually strengthened, and the road to the independent revival of the Ashikaga family seemed to be becoming more and more elusive.

Sometimes Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but secretly curse Nobunaga for what had happened to him, but when he came to his senses, he dispelled that idea.

Because although Nobunaga is domineering, he is still very disciplined, and he is still much stronger than the three people who directly hacked to death with a knife to the last generation.

This guy is alive now, and he is a big problem for the shogunate; If this guy dies, any force in Kinai could become an even greater disaster.

Thinking about it, the best thing to do was to leave Nobunaga half-dead, and then slowly replace Oda with Ashikaga influence. But I'm afraid the gods and Buddhas won't accept such wishes!

All in all, everyone involved will wait and see, and they don't know what kind of changes will be brought about by the fifth Kamiraku of the Oda army.
