077

As the saying goes: the plan can't keep up with the change!

Just as we were about to set off, something big happened in Yamato!

Tsutsui Shunkei, the sworn enemy of Matsunaga Hide's Northern Expedition, and Tsutsui Shunkei, who was not to be outdone, sent troops to resist, and the two sides confronted each other in the area of Yamato Castle in Yamato-gun.

But on the eve of the eve, the Tsutsui army, instigated by Matsunaga Neiying, suddenly mutinied, and turned against each other, and then, Matsunaga Hide's son Matsunaga took advantage of the situation to attack, Tsutsui Shunkei was defeated, and even Tsutsui Seiji died in the chaos, and he himself fled to Tsutsui Castle in the north under the desperate defense of the two generals Matsukura Right and Shima Left.

However, "Master Shunqing" hasn't been able to take a sip of water in Tsutsui Castle, and the devil, oh no, the enemy is here again!

He has always complied with Matsunaga Hide's "call" and came to assist him in attacking the Tsutsui family.

The outcome of the battle is easy to guess, and Tsutsui Shunkei, who fled in defeat, fled in a hurry under the protection of the two generals, with his family, and came to Kyoto, the "holy land of revolution"!

I have always been loyal to the party and the state and to you, the chairman, but this time the red bandits raided my home, and you must be the master of the committee.

Compared with Matsunaga Show, Tsutsui Shunqing has not done anything lacking in virtue over the years, and his reputation in Oda's family is not bad, and in this "Yamato Riot", he also stood on Oda's side with a clear banner, and in the end, because of the relationship between resisting traitors, he fell into a situation where his family was ruined, how can it not be sympathized?

Many retainers also advised Chairman Oda not to be polite to that guy Matsunaga Hide, even if it is not for the revenge of Comrade Tsutsui, for the sake of the great cause of the party and the state, you have to be tough! Comrades who are loyal to the revolution do not help, but they compromise with traitors in the party in such a way, which will cool the hearts of revolutionary comrades.

But Chairman Oda's reply was "reconsiderate"!

These are really two words that make people vomit blood to death, and the devil knows how long you will "talk again"?!

The only change is that my departure date and Tokuan and I have been postponed indefinitely.

By the way, by the way, the siege of Ishiyama has ended, and after half a year, it was still in vain, and Oda Nobunaga only left Sakuma Nobumori to monitor Honganji, and the rest of the people went back to their respective homes.

On the morning of September 20, the fifth year of Tianzheng, our family of five (Shifu Lang has returned, and his father has officially given him the name "Guangqing") gathered together to drink morning tea and chat.

I said: "In troubled times, it is better to be able to get together with your family and drink delicious morning tea than anything else, and you are looking at His Royal Highness Tsutsui, alas~~"

To be honest, I didn't have much contact with Shunkei Tsutsui, but he was my father's best friend and the adoptive father of my younger brother (Twelvero), so I still have a lot of sympathy for him.

"Yes," the mother also showed a look of unbearability, "I went to visit Twelve Lang yesterday, although their family has been treated favorably by the lord and has no worries about food and clothing, but the family is miserable and lifeless. ”

"After I came back, I persuaded the lord many times, but he didn't mean to move troops against Matsunaga, so weak, if it goes on like this, the outside world will think that my Oda family is weak and can be bullied." The father also sighed, "Ah Xiang, please go back to Nijo Castle, you don't need to do anything, just find out what the lord means, okay?" ”

treats the daughter-in-law of "Princess Xiang", and her father is more polite than everyone in the family.

"Okay."

Kahime and I looked at each other, and having said that, we both understood that there was only one person in the Oda clan who could have a decisive influence on Oda Nobunaga's decision-making, and that was Oda Nobutada!

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives!

Just when our family was "mourning" for Tsutsui Shunkei, the party came to the door.

Tsutsui Shunkei, I saw him during the New Year, at that time, he was full of red light, full of energy, words and deeds with a smile on his face, looking like a monk (Tsutsui Shunqing is a believer in Shingon Buddhism, he has indeed made a lot of contributions to Japanese Buddhism), but now he is difficult to say "good" from any point of view, I suddenly thought of Confucius's sentence "the dog who lost his family", and now it can really be used to describe him.

Behind him was a samurai in armor and a sword at his waist.

After a while of greetings, Shunkei Tsutsui introduced us, "This is my old Matsukura Shigenobu. ”

Matsukura Shigenobu said: "I have seen your Highnesses, and I am in Shigenobu, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Shigenobu Matsukura is nearly forty years old and is at the peak of his samurai career, with a huge body, as burly as a Vajra wrestler, and a bold conversation, which is an unusual figure at first sight. He went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen with Tsutsui Shunaki, and after more than ten large and small battles in the past few decades, none of them did not have outstanding achievements, and this time Tsutsui Shunkei was able to come to Kyoto safely under the pursuit of Matsunaga Hidei and the others, all thanks to him and Shimazuo's proximity.

When I mentioned him, I suddenly thought of the famous island in history, and I was really looking forward to him.

The content of the conversation was very simple, and Tsutsui Shunkei was almost crying, asking our father and son and Kahime to say more to Oda Nobunaga and send troops to help him recover his homeland as soon as possible.

When they left, my father couldn't help but sigh: "I have been acquainted with His Royal Highness Tsutsui since I was a teenager and traveled to Kyoto, and it has been many years now, I know him, although he has traveled among the major forces for many years, and he has made compromises, but he still has a sense of pride and pride as a famous family in his bones (Tsutsui has a lot of connections with Wushiguan), and it is the first time to speak so low like today, alas~~~"

"It looks like he's been cornered." Fifteen Lang also had some feelings.

"That His Highness Matsukura seems to be very capable." I whispered.

"Huh? Big brother, what's wrong with His Highness Matsuzo? Fifteen Lang asked.

It was Xiangji's little head that moved relatively quickly: "Husband, are you going to recruit His Royal Highness Matsukura?" ”

"Yes!" I nodded.

"Everyone is like this now," Fifteen Lang looked incredulous, although I have been fighting with me since I was a child, but in fact, he has always respected me, and after I began to be appreciated by Oda Nobunaga, he took our city as an example to imitate, maybe in his heart, I have always been "tall and complete", so my "despicable" idea of "digging the foot of the wall" made him feel unacceptable, "Big brother, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob!"

"Father, what do you think?" Naturally, I didn't get angry at his words, I just looked at my father.

"That Matsukura Ukin Shigenobu is indeed a fierce general, and His Highness Tsutsui was able to survive the fierce attack of Matsunaga Shu back then, and he made a great contribution," his father was not dissatisfied, "If you can do it, do it." ”

"Father, even you ......" Fifteen Lang was completely messy.

My father and I looked at him at the same time: Boy, do more and talk less!

Akechi Mitsuhide is definitely a black-bellied person, although he is a friend enough, but if he can get some benefit from it, he doesn't mind doing it at all.

He asked Tsushiro to be the son of Tsutsui Shunkei, in order to aim for the position of Tsutsui family governor.

On the one hand, he acted as the liaison between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Asakura Yoshikei, and on the other hand, he "sold" Ashikaga Yoshiaki to Oda Nobunaga, and the most "hanging" thing was that the two daimyo didn't blame him!

He persuaded Oda Nobunaga not to attack Mt. Hiyu, and at the same time gathered troops at the foot of the mountain, and after the battle, he undoubtedly became the commander-in-chief, and the credit went to him in the end.

Historically, there have been a lot of "immoral things" that Akechi Mitsuhide has done, so this time, he agreed to my "ghost idea" without any reason.

"But you have to do a good job, I don't want to attract criticism from the outside world, and I don't want to have a bad relationship with His Highness Tsutsui!"

"You can rest assured of this."

Inside Nijo Castle.

"See the lord!" I prostrate myself.

"Oh, it's Kogoro," Oda Nobunaga probably knew that I was here to be a lobbyist for Tsutsui Shunkei, so he put on a mischievous appearance of only talking about family affairs, regardless of national affairs, "How does the venison taste, Kahime is satisfied?" ”

"Xiang Ji liked it very much, and the retainers were also very satisfied, and praised the kindness of the lord in unison."

"Yes, I originally wanted to give it to your family to enjoy for yourself, but you gave it to your retainers, is this considered borrowing my flowers to offer your Buddha?"

Indeed, when I had a barbecue party, I did it to "connect with each other", and everyone in the family went except for my father and Shishiro, who were still out of town at the time, and my mother, who was not in good health and did not eat barbecue.

"That's true, my lord, let me tell you, this barbecue, to cut as fine as possible to be delicious, it is best to cut to the thickness of the leaves of the paulownia tree, in that case, the heat and seasoning penetrate the fastest, and the grasp of the heat is also very important, the taste is more tender when roasted out of the fire, and the taste is more mellow when roasted out of the simmer, if at this time, it would be better to pour some rice wine from Shiga Prefecture, Shiga rice wine has a light taste...... "I am like a master chef who is proficient in cooking, and I stated my cooking skills to Oda Nobunaga.

And the little surnames around Oda Nobunaga, one by one, put on a look of disbelief, especially Mori Lan Maru, because of Mori Nagake's relationship, we also have some friendship, he knows me well, and knows that although I sometimes like to be unconventional, I am still a normal samurai.

The samurai would never study cooking, it was the work of the "untouchables".

However, Oda Nobunaga did not feel uncomfortable, but listened with a smile to me, the "god of food", "teaching cooking".

But in fact, he was also wondering in his heart.

What the hell does this kid want to do? Listening to what he said, is he really proficient in cooking...... Wrong! He must have come to lobby me, the so-called cooking, it's just a façade, well, it must be...... Just let him go on and see what tricks he's up to.

Who knows that the more I talk about it, the more energetic it becomes, and when I say it, it's an hour!

"That's it! All right! Seeing that after I finished drinking tea, there was a posture to go down again, Oda Nobunaga finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Kogoro, you come to me, don't you just want to cook, I don't lack chefs here." ”

"Alas, it's worthy of the lord, and I have a good sense of it," I made a picture of "being recognized", "there is actually something wrong below." ”

"What's the matter?" Oda Nobunaga was a little proud.

Sample, let you be like a ghost, in the end, you have to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water, and you want to play tricks with Lao Tzu, you are still very early.

"For the sake of the Yamato country."

"Needless to say, I have my own decision on Yamato's affairs, and I don't need you to intervene!"

"Lord!" I made another sad look, "You misunderstood!" ”

"What? Misunderstand? ”

"I am here to speak, and I am here to ask for my life for the people!"

"For whom?" Oda Nobunaga snorted, and sure enough, he was the one who spoke for Tsutsui Shunkei.

"For His Highness Matsunaga Hide!"

"For Matsunaga...... What the?! Oda Nobunaga suddenly reacted, "Why not Shunkei Tsutsui?!" ”

Only then did he realize his gaffe.

"Why do you want to ask for your life for His Highness Tsutsui?" I pretended to be a novice.

"What are you going to do for Matsunaga?" The embarrassed Oda Nobunaga had to hide his embarrassment by changing the subject.

"I think that His Royal Highness Matsunaga has been guarding Yamato and defending Kyoto for many years, so I hope you can appoint him as 'Yamato Guardian' in recognition!"
