Chapter 39: The Monkey Becomes a Samurai (Recommended by Manbagah)
On the empty grass, a group of people lined up in front of Oda Nobunaga.
"The black ones stand on the left, and the red ones stand on the right." Ikeda Hengxing stood in the middle and shouted loudly, and when he saw that their redraw was over, he saluted Oda Nobunaga and said, "My lord, the re-division is complete, and it is time to bow down." ”
"Hmm!" Oda Nobunaga nodded, looked at the group of samurai in front of him, either Lianzhi (Oda Division) or his cronies Ma Dai, and then took a step forward and shouted: "From now on, you will be my Nobunaga's side and close people!" Hmm~~ Take the red lot for the red mother-clothed people, take the black lot for the black mother-clothed people, and in the future, you will follow me Nobunaga to fight for the hegemony of Owari Province! ”
"Yes! We are willing to follow the side of the lord! The samurai bowed down and saluted, they still did not understand the meaning of this mother-robed people, which could only be held by Oda Nobunaga's closest confidants, and it was a shortcut to future promotion.
Hosokawa Terumoto was speechless by Oda Nobunaga's character who thought that one place was a play, and co-authored Oda Nobunaga simply formed the team into a side, which was really trying to save trouble. looked at the nineteen people in front of him, and happened to be divided into two teams. Maeda Toshiie, Asai Masadada, Kinoshita Masaki, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, Ito Naokiyo, Iwaki Shigekyu, Yamaguchi Kyotsune, Hasegawa Hashisuke, and Kato Yazaburo are ten people, who have followed Oda Nobunaga since childhood and served as the head of the Akamato Cloth. There are nine people in the black mother's clothes, including Hidetaka Kawajiri, Narimasa Sasa, Takebei Ito, Shigemasa Nakagawa, Moritsuki Tsuda, Nagayasu Hirai, Tadamitsu Mizuno, Katsusuke Ikoma, and Takamitsu Matsuoka, and the pen head of the black mother's clothes is Hidetaka Kawajiri who killed Nobuyuki Oda with his own hands. As for Ikeda Tsuneko, since his Ikeda family was a genealogy of the Oda family, and his mother was Oda Nobunaga's nurse, he was later adopted by Oda Nobuhide as a side room. So Ikeda Hengxing is Oda Nobunaga's brother, but also Nobunaga's brother-in-law, and at the same time, he grew up with Nobunaga since he was a child, and belongs to the first cronies.
Therefore, he and Hosokawa Terumoto are already high-level samurai, and their status is special, so they are no longer suitable to serve as the flanks of such low-level samurai.
However, Hosokawa Terumoto saw Iiao Naoqing in the crowd, and his heart was extremely depressed. Why? Because this guy is a relative of Hosokawa Terumoto, and Iio Naokito's mother is Hosokawa Harumoto's daughter and Hosokawa Terumoto's sister, so he should be Hosokawa Terumoto's eldest nephew, right? But he also married Oda Nobuhide's tenth daughter, Oda Nobunaga's sister, and Hosokawa Terumoto is also about to marry Oda Nobunaga's sister, which ~~~ is so chaotic~.
"Katsuzaburo! They will be handed over to you to practice, and they must be the pillars of my Oda family's future. Oda Nobunaga instructed Ikeda Tsuneko.
"Yes! The minister is determined to live up to the high expectations of the lord! Ikeda immediately saluted.
"Huh?" Oda Nobunaga glanced at the subordinate who was leading him in the distance, thought for a moment, and shouted, "Monkey! ”
The subordinate immediately dragged "Ha~~!" 's long tone, trotting all the way, he is the servant who deceived everyone's eyes with his excellent acting skills last time - Fujiyoshiro. Because of that incident, it also made him famous, of course, about his appearance. The main reason is that he was too ugly, and he was jumping up and down on the street at that time, like a monkey, and immediately the title of monkey spread like he had wings.
Originally, he hated this title very much, but because his lord called him so, he had to recognize it, and he looked very useful in front of Oda Nobunaga.
I saw him running to Oda Nobunaga and kneeling on his knees: "Ha! The villain is here, Lord Inn! What do you command? Monkey, I am willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire for the owner of the museum, and I will never give up. ”
"Well, Monkey, you did a good job this time, I decided to promote you to a samurai, and continue to lead the horse and cover your shoes for me Nobunaga." Oda Nobunaga seems to have been flattered by Fujiyoshiro.
"Huh? Military? Warrior! Aha! I'm finally a samurai! I'm finally a samurai! Fujiyoshiro immediately danced with joy, jumping up and down, causing strong contempt from the samurai around him.
"Bold! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the lord! He is worthy of being an uneducated lowly person! Sasa Naruma scolded again.
"Huh? The owner of the pavilion is angry, villain, oh subordinates are just excited for a while, and they do not intend to offend the authority of the lord, please forgive the lord! Fujiyoshiro immediately put his hands on the ground, and his buttocks were raised high. I thought that the lord didn't say anything, he was a politician.
"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter. By the way, you're a samurai now, and it's not like a word without seedlings. Oda Nobunaga didn't care about Fujiyoshiro's actions at all, and he also cared about his seedlings. You must know that a samurai is a subordinate who has gotten rid of tradition, not only to be famous, but also to have seedlings that meet his identity.
"Kinoshita! The subordinate's father used to be a flag samurai of Nobuhide Gong, so the subordinate will be Kinoshita Tojiro in the future! Kinoshita Toyoshiro is now very excited, and his long-cherished wish has finally come true, and from then on he Kinoshita Toyoshiro is a true samurai.
Hosokawa Terumoto looked at this scene, and suddenly, as if he saw a sun waiting to rise from Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro's body, he thought to himself [It seems that character really determines fate, and as he stepped into the ranks of samurai, his ambition also swelled. Being a samurai is like asking for beautiful women, if you want beautiful women, you want to be the lord of the city, and if you become the lord of the city, you want more beautiful women, until in the end, the one who should come will always come. ]
"That's it! Now let's start testing the art of war! The winning side will have a prize, and the losing side will be in charge tomorrow. "Oda Nobunaga doesn't play football anymore, he's most enthusiastic about new things.
"Hah!" "Drink!" The two teams of table tennis began to compete one-on-one.
"Hah!" With a click, Maeda Toshi's wooden gun blocked Kawajiri Hidetaka's slash, and then forcefully separated his wooden knife, and then stabbed Kawajiri Hidetaka left and right with a triple stab. Then Kawajiri Hidetaka took a step back slightly to avoid Maeda Toshika's gun, and another forward assault knife attempted hand-to-hand combat, which was seen through by Maeda Toshika, and he shook his gun ** and retreated Kawajiri Hidetaka, and then hit the deadly throat gun against Kawajiri Hidetaka's throat, and the outcome was decided.
"Good! Inuchiyo's marksmanship has improved again, and it's worthy of being the best gun in my Oda family. Oda Nobunaga praised, then looked at the Hosokawa retainers in the distance, and said, "Sensenmaru, I heard that you have traveled to various countries and collected a lot of outstanding samurai, so you might as well pick one out and compete with Inuchiyo." ”
Hosokawa Terumoto looked at Oda Nobunaga with great interest, and it just so happened that he himself wanted to test the recent achievements of the people. So I looked at the five people on duty today, namely Fan, Kibei, Fujijuro, Ushichiyo and Minjimaru, who has just served in recent years, and Shigenobu Hayashizaki, who is now a samurai.
"Very helpful!" Hosokawa Terumoto shouted at Shigenobu Hayashizaki, who was on standby in the distance.
"The subordinates are here!" Shigenobu Hayashizaki ran to Hosokawa Terumoto and got down on one knee.
"You can ask Maeda-sama for a lesson or two." Hosokawa Terumoto threw him a wooden knife.
"Yes." Shigenobu Hayashi took the flying wooden knife with one hand and turned to enter the duel circle.
