Chapter 40
Seeing Ohno Shinzaemon telling his story like pouring beans, Tsukahara Moryū looked at Imagawa Shima with a smile: "What do you think of this person?" ”
The Imagawa clan nodded reservedly: "Overall, it seems to be quite talented." ”
Ohno Shinzaemon was overjoyed when he heard Imagawa's words, and he wanted to attract Imagawa's attention this time. At present, the Imagawa family is one of the strongest daimyo in the world, and Imagawa Yoshimoto only has one son of the Imagawa clan, if he appreciates it, then he will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future. As for Tsukahara Molong, although he is indeed one of the best generals in the world, he is obviously a little tender in politics, otherwise how could he be forced away by Uesugi Kenmasa after making great achievements? This kind of person honestly follows the broad-minded lord, such as me, the southern conquest and the northern war, in the future, I will dominate the world, and I may reward you with 100,000 stones.
Tsukahara Moryū smiled slightly: "Why don't you go to the whale house with us?" ”
Nobu Ohokura and Shinzaemon Ohno glanced at each other, and both saw joy in each other's eyes, and the two of them tidied up their clothes, and hurriedly ordered Ashigaru to guard the surroundings, while they entered the whale house.
It's just that the Imagawa clan doesn't seem to be too interested in such an ordinary general, after all, in his heart, if it is about commanding the army, it is indeed rare to be able to compete with Tsukahara Moryuichi. Several people chatted for a while, and seeing that the Imagawa clan really showed displeasure, Ohno Kuranobu and Ohno Shinzaemon hurriedly retreated, leaving only Tsukahara Molong and Zhou Dashuai.
"Why do you respect such people?" Imagawa Shin asked, a person with such ability as the Ohno brothers, Imagawa Yoshimoto grabbed a lot of them.
Tsukahara Molong smiled and asked, "Didn't Your Excellency notice the good intentions of Lord Ohnokura?" ”
"Huh? Are you saying that Ono Shinzaemon was arranged by him? Imagawa was slightly stunned.
"It's not Shinzaemon, it's a competition with me. Presumably, after he knew that I had come here, he was worried that someone would impersonate you, deceive you, and be detrimental to you, so he deliberately wanted to compete with me. even took out the genre as a bet, but such a loyal minister is rare. ”
The Imagawa clan was silent when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke: "What the lord said is reasonable, the Ono family is not a famous family under my Imagawa family, and the Ono Kura Shin is only a general of the ashigaru family, responsible for the training of the security forces in the castle town. If this person is loyal, he can indeed be promoted, but ......" Speaking of this, the Imagawa clan really showed a wry smile: "I can trust that the adult is a righteous man and a gentleman, so I can say something from my heart." My father relied on the support of important ministers to ascend to the position of governor, but the consequence was that the power of the retainers was too strong, and many times, my father did not speak up. Moreover, although my Imagawa family is in charge of the land of the Three Kingdoms, they are all countries with high stones, and they can only compete with the families of Oda, Takeda, and Hojo by relying on the power of commercial shipping, so I can't give much reward to my retainers. ”
This time it was Tsukahara Moryū's turn to be surprised, history said that the Imagawa clan was really a very soft-hearted person, and he was really right, otherwise he would not have sent Tokugawa Ieyasu's wife and children back after the Tokugawa Ieyasu rebellion. Although he is his idol, he only talks to himself about this for the first time......
Tsukahara Molong's thoughts were moved, and he spoke for a long time: "Since Your Excellency can trust me Tsukahara Molong, I will give you a plan. ”
"Oh?" Imagawa's real eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his head. "Adults want to teach me?"
"It is true that the three kingdoms of Tokaido have a low level of stone, but commerce is developed, and it is from here that the Imagawa family can vigorously develop commerce and obtain materials for the formation of a standing army." After Tsukahara Moryū spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and lowered his head in the surprised gaze of the Imagawa clan.
"What do you say...... It's almost the same as my father and Master Taiyuan Xuezhai...... "The Imagawa clan really buried his head solemnly: "My lord can not only fight well, brave and invincible, but also the splendid beauty in my belly is not inferior to my father and Master Taiyuan Xuezhai, I implore my lord to come out of the Imagawa family, I am willing to perform the gift of a disciple!" ”
Tsukahara Molong shook his head and gently lifted Imagawa Shin: "It's too famous." I have cut off my vulgar thoughts, and I am obsessed with swordsmanship, and I will not meddle in these anymore. ”
"Your Excellency!" The Imagawa clan is really in a hurry, and he has already performed the greatest etiquette, but Tsukahara Moryū still doesn't want to accept it.
"I feel your sincerity." Tsukahara Molong showed a look of embarrassment: "I will open a water rhyme house in Kai and Suruga, if you have any doubts, you can write to me through the water rhyme house, I will do my best." It's just that I can't ask for the title of master and apprentice. ”
Birthright? The Imagawa clan was really happy and understood that although Tsukahara Molong didn't want to accept his name, he was still willing to help him, so he hurriedly expressed his gratitude and would take care of Mizuyunya's business in Suruga.
After separating from Imagawa Shin, Tsukahara Molong and Zhou Dashuai sent Toyoda Hansuke back to pack their luggage because of the previous incident, and after agreeing to meet again the next day, they walked in the alley.
Zhou Dashuai finally couldn't help it, and asked: "Molong, I don't understand a little, that Ohno Shinzaemon ...... Why don't you become a retainer? ”
"Why do you think I should take him?"
"He travels from south to north, he is quite familiar with various places, and he knows a lot of things, so it's a pity that he can't stay around."
Tsukahara Molong smiled and shook his head: "Nobu Ohnokura is brave and loyal, but he is a fierce general. And this Ono Shinzaemon, although he has seen a lot, he also has a very high vision and feels that everything is under his control. It seems that when he appeared, he motioned to the surrounding Ashigaru to attack me from behind, but it was up to those people to ...... Can you stop me? Although the idea is good, it's just that I can't see my own ability clearly. Although I have seen a lot, I naturally have some scheming, and that attitude is actually for the Imagawa clan, but the Imagawa family has many famous ministers, and it is extremely difficult for Shinzaemon to take advantage of this. In game terms, the fit between the two is relatively low, Ono Shinzaemon originally put Tsukahara Molong in the position of a political novice and was quite contemptuous, but he admired Imagawa Shin very much, and Tsukahara Moryū did not mean to correct Ohno Shinzaemon's contempt, but agreed with his approach. Because of the night battle in Shinobi City, he poses a threat to too many people, and a person who is so good at fighting that even his allies would be afraid of him will definitely be further assassinated if he shows his talent in other areas. Although Kai's assassination failed, it sounded the alarm for Tsukahara Moryū. There are so many war ninjas that no one can go out alone to kill a ronin like themselves. That is, there is more than one force behind them. With so many forces trying to kill themselves every day, it will be a very tricky thing before they grow up. Therefore, Tsukahara Molong walked around and opened up relationships with the powerful and powerful in various places, on the one hand, in order to compile his own network, and on the other hand, it also gave people an illusion.
However, he was a little out of shape in the face of Imagawa's real request, but fortunately he didn't make any specific suggestions, just hoping that he could make more deals with his water rhyme house. And the Imagawa clan in history is not a jealous monarch, on the contrary, he is quite soft-hearted
