Chapter 51: Oda Nobunaga with a Headache
"In addition, I will allocate another 50,000 kan to Saemon, and let him form it with Rizo, well~~~ Forget it, let's talk about it later. Meeting! "Originally, Hosokawa Nobumoto wanted to start minting money now, and then develop the money bank.
But after thinking about it, if you don't have the strength in this troubled world, opening a money bank in a foreign place is tantamount to giving money and being robbed. If you open a money bank in the local area, such a large wealth will inevitably be red by the owner's family, so it is only suitable to establish a money bank when you have an acre and three points of land.
However, now that the Ming Dynasty has opened up the port trade, and the Hosokawa family has a "business license", the annual ordinary trade can fully support the Hosokawa family's finances.
Now the Oda family is intensively training peasant soldiers to recapture the last lost territory of Owari, but due to the strict defense of Yamaguchi Kyotsugu, it has been difficult for the Oda family to move an inch for so many years, which makes Oda Nobunaga also a big headache.
"Rokuro, do you have any good ideas to recover Chita-gun?" Oda Nobunaga, who had no countermeasures, invited Hosokawa Nobumoto to discuss countermeasures.
"Hmm~~ Your Majesty thinks that as long as you get rid of Yamaguchi, you can solve it." Hosokawa Nobumoto thought for a moment before speaking.
"Oh? Why is that? When Oda Nobunaga heard that he could capture a county by getting rid of one person, he was immediately interested.
"Do you remember the first time your subordinates and lords met?" Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't say it clearly, but instead brought up the old things.
"Of course, when you were a child of only five years old, you were already extremely smart, and you borrowed 5,000 yuan from me to establish an agreement between us." When Oda Nobunaga thought of what happened back then, he felt from the bottom of his heart that he was wise and powerful, and how wise it was to tie Hosokawa Nobugen to his chariot.
"Yes! At that time, his subordinates were still young and wanted to travel the world, so they temporarily left the lord. However, it happened that the Yamaguchi sect rebelled, and his subordinates happened to be still in Mikawa, so he asked his subordinates to collect information. Finding that this man was extremely good at maneuvering, he not only betrayed the Oda family himself, but also introduced the Imagawa army into Narumi Castle. Later, he first rebelled against Kondo Keiharu in Katsura Castle and Tobe Masanao in Tobe Castle, cutting off the connection between the main family and Chita County. Immediately afterwards, Dataka Castle, Tsukashi Castle, Ikei Carp Castle, and Shigehara Castle were also rebelled one after another, causing the large tribes of Chita County to fall into the hands of the Imagawa family. He was also good at military law, and he built a castle at Kasa Temple on the Atsuta River, which was very important for attacking the choke point of Owari. It can be said that this person is a key figure in Chita-gun and an important link with the Imagawa family. Speaking of this, Hosokawa Nobumoto saw Oda Nobunaga's brows tightly knit and he didn't say a word, as if his mind was not on this. So he called softly, "Lord? ”
"Oh, nothing? In that case, are you sure that Rokuro will omit Yamaguchi? Oda Nobunaga came back to his senses, thought for a moment and asked.
"Omitted? Your subordinates don't have that good job, your subordinates will only use tricks! It can make Yamaguchi Kyotsugu die at the hands of Imagawa Yoshimoto. "Hosokawa Nobugen is ready to use a counter-strategy, which is a big move to learn from Hu Zongxian.
"Hey~ can't such a talent be used by me?" Feelings are Oda Nobunaga's mistake of cherishing talents again, just now he frowned, and the headache was not how to get rid of Yamaguchi Kyotsugu, but because he didn't have a master of twitching like him.
"Maybe ~~ Lord Takigawa or Lord Niwa can give it a try." Hosokawa Nobumoto made a suggestion that could change history, after all, these two were also masters of tweaking in the later period. Takigawa Kazuki omitted the entire Ise Hao clan, and Niwa Nagahide omitted Inuyama Castle and the entire territory of Mino.
"Hmmm! Let's do this first, you go back first, and wait for my news. Oda Nobunaga motioned for Hosokawa Nobumoto to go, and it seemed that he wanted to give it a try.
A month later, Oda Nobunaga received news that the adjustment had failed, and asked Hosokawa Nobumoto to go and discuss countermeasures.
As soon as I walked into the gate of the castle tower, I heard Maeda Toshiya shouting there: "Give me back the hairpin!" ”
"Oops~~ This is yours? How can you prove it? You call it, does it promise? Hehehehe" Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the sissy, he was Oda Nobunaga's favorite retainer Aichi Juami, with girl-like bangs, and a woman-like bewitching appearance, with a snarky cherry mouth.
"You!" Maeda Toshiya is a dignified and moral warrior, and he can't deal with this kind of clever person at all. "When I got married, Ah Song used her pocket money to buy it for me! Give it back to me! ”
"Lalala~~~No~~, buy a dish, buy a dish~~~" Aichi Ten Ami looks cheap and challenges the nerves of the Maeda Toshiya.
Maeda Toshiya was already angry, and his right hand was already holding the hilt of the knife, and he was murderous. "Bastards who steal! If you don't want to be stabbed! Hurry up and return my hairpin! ”
"Yo~~~ Dog, do you still want to draw a knife? This is the residence of the lord, and you dare to disobey the laws of your own house and the admonitions of the lord? Besides, what if I took it? I can't care about it, I can't take care of it, slightly~~~Ah~~Dog~~. Aichi Ten Ami stuck out his tongue at Maeda Toshiya with a sloppy expression.
Boom punched Aichi Juami in the face, knocking him to the ground, followed by a few more kicks in the face.
"Oops! Oops! Help me! Kill! Help, lord! Aichi Ten Ami covered his face and howled in pain.
"No one can save you!" After speaking, he took out the knife on his waist and was about to cut it down.
"Stop! Rokuro! What's going on! Oda Nobunaga happened to appear and stopped Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was committing the murder, it turned out that he was the one who beat people just now, and Maeda Toshiya was stunned from the sidelines.
"Huh? Oh, this guy insulted His Majesty's wife, so His Majesty decided to send him to Elysium. Hosokawa Nobumoto held the sword in his hand and didn't want to put it down yet.
"Huh? Is it? Ten Ami? Oda Nobunaga walked up to Hosokawa Nobunamoto, looked down and asked Aichi Juami, who was lying on the ground and rolling.
"Oh~~ Lord, my subordinates don't have it, and my subordinates don't insult Hosokawa-sama's wife. Hey~~. Aichi Ten Ami replied bitterly [Damn Hosokawa Nobumoto, my face was smashed, how can I tempt the lord in the future!] I'm going to make you regret it. Damn it! ]
"Nonsense! He had been barking just now, and my wife's name was called by a lowly person like you? Hosokawa Nobunaga said angrily, Okita Nobunaga still had an expression that you want to call the shots for me.
"Uh~~Lord Hosokawa, you misunderstood. Ten Ami called under and did not insult your lady. Unexpectedly, Maeda Toshiya explained to Aichi Ten Ami on the side.
[I rub!] I'm deliberately finding fault to help you, okay, you're so honest, stupid and cute. Hosokawa Nobumoto was speechless for a moment, and the parties involved exonerated him, and this lawsuit could not be fought.
