Because the Maori family only gathered three troops, so the speed of the army was undoubtedly much faster than Yamanaka Kanosuke expected, when he left eight days later, the Maori family was led by Kobayakawa Takakei as the main general, personally led an army of 10,000 to attack the Niko family, and even if the Niko family used all the food they wanted to store, a total of only 3,000 troops were raised, and there was no capable samurai command, so in less than seven days, the territory that had just been recaptured was all occupied by the Kobayakawa army, and two days later, the main city of the Niko family, Fugetsu Mountain Castle, was also broken by its envoys, The Akigami family originally wanted to break through with their own bravery, but Kobayakawa Takakei was prepared, and as soon as he escaped from the city gate, he was cut into meat sauce by the Kobayakawa army that had been waiting outside the city for a long time. Come on,.!

Two months after the revival of the Nizi family, in the end, it still failed to escape the fate of destruction, and not only that, in order to avoid the resurrection of the Nizi family, so none of the Nizi Yoshihisa family was spared, and all of them died under the butcher's knife of the Maori family, and all of this, Yamanaka Kanosuke, who only wanted to revive the Nizi family, did not know what to do.

As the wedding approached, the news that the Takayama clan would marry three ladies at a time spread completely in the territory of the Oda family, and in this era of polyandry and concubinery, the Takayama clan set all four of them as wives, which was surprising enough.

In a hundred years, at least I haven't heard of a samurai doing this, and as for what happened a hundred years ago, it's too far away for anyone to remember.

If this can only surprise them, then Takayama-sama's wedding not only invited the samurai above the rank of the Oda family general, but also heard that many big businessmen were invited, this news is enough to make them feel unacceptable, the samurai value righteousness, and the merchants seek profit, it can be said that not many samurai look at those merchants who are covered in copper smell, and in normal times, except for buying goods, the samurai will not have any dealings with merchants at all, let alone invite them to such a grand wedding. And it's not just one or two people invited, all the top merchants in the Oda family's territory are all invited by the Takayama clan without exception.

And if you want these merchants to attend, then the first thing the Takayama clan has to do is to say that you must serve the lady and the retainers first.

Gifu Castle. In the samurai mansion of the Takayama clan, Sakura and the other three ladies and the retainers of the Shuwei clan are all sitting in the hall, and the face of the main clan does not look very good, Sakura has rarely sat with the retainers so formally, and rarely persuades her husband in front of the retainers, but today she really can't help it, just now she will say all the words in her heart. She was totally opposed to her husband inviting the merchants to come, not only her, but also all of her courtiers.

The reason why the clan thought of inviting merchants was to speed up the development of Takayama Town, and if he waited for the ninjas under his command to spread the news, and then waited for those merchants to come to investigate, and waited for them to return, he had to make preparations. I don't know how much time was delayed.

If you invite them all this time, and then take them to Takayama Town, which is under construction, on the occasion of the wedding, let them see them now. So after this town is built, they are almost ready, so that they can achieve their goals at least a year in advance, so he will make this decision, but he didn't expect that the retainers are against it, even Sakura, who has always been obedient, is also against it, is he really wrong?

The clan doesn't think so, reputation is important. But strength is more important, especially after he obtains the right to go out of the army independently, don't look at it only a year in advance, but this is enough to distance the family from the retainers of the Oda family, although I can't see anything now, but Nobunaga died as soon as possible. So what else does the monkey use to compete with himself, every moment saved now, then the advantage he stands on in the future will be greater.

For the sake of the family's future, even if Sakura and her retainers are all against it, the clan will never compromise.

And when Sakura finished speaking, I only heard him speak: "Although what you said makes sense, inviting merchants to come will indeed hinder your reputation, but it is nothing compared to strength, as long as you can tell the story of Takayama Town through this wedding, then this town will form a scale at least a year in advance, since the reform of the system, it will need a lot of money to support, and as long as Takayama Town is formed sooner, the more stable the family, and there is no need to worry about money after that, if so, Obviously, inviting merchants to come and preparing them to come to Takayama Town in advance is still a big plus or bad for the family, as long as the family has enough strength, even if others want to resist it, they must consider the consequences. ”

When the clan finished speaking, Sakura and the retainers still persuaded them repeatedly, but they were all resolved by the clan one by one, but they considered that it was indeed not suitable for samurai and merchants to sit together, so the venue for the wedding was set at the Iguchi Town Sparrow House, which was divided into two floors, with the samurai on the upper floor, and the merchants below, the Sparrow House was originally open to the big merchants, so that the dissatisfaction of the Oda family could be eliminated to the greatest extent, and as for how other powerful forces would see themselves, it was up to them.

When everything was settled, the clan side was relaxed, while the Oda samurai and the merchants who received the invitation began to get busy, and Takayama-sama's status was no longer what it used to be, so this congratulatory gift could not be as casual as before.

Especially the samurai who are still neutral, but already want to join the Takayama Shibata faction, for them, this is a great opportunity, so they dare not be careless in the choice of gifts, in addition to the precious, but also to let Takayama understand their own mind, so this can be difficult for many samurai.

In addition to the Takayama Shibata faction, the samurai who were neutral with the Oda clan received an invitation from the clan, and the samurai of the Kinoshita faction were also among the clan invitations.

Originally, the clan didn't plan to invite them to attend, after all, after the self-assessment meeting, the battle between the two sides has been pushed to the fore, in case these people make trouble at the wedding when they get married, then it will be a little unbeautiful, but he thought about it, if Oda Nobunaga is not involved, then it is not a big deal not to invite them to come, although the chief did not answer himself clearly at the time, but the clan is sure that if there is no accident, he should still attend, although Nobunaga has no intention of breaking up the faction in the family, But I don't want to see the two factions in the same situation.,Obviously,If you don't invite.,Then it's your fault.,And if you invite.,And they don't come.,Then it's no wonder that you're here.,Even if it's here.,Anyway, Nobunaga is in charge.,I'm afraid that they won't make a big fuss.,After figuring this out.,The clan immediately ordered someone to send an invitation to Jane to invite the samurai of the Kinoshita faction to come to the wedding.。

Because at the appraisal meeting, the clan seriously hurt Kinoshita Toyoshiro's self-esteem, so since he returned, the new territory has only sent his retainers to receive it first, and he himself is working hard with Ning Ning.

Since marrying Ning Ning, he has never worked so hard, the two of them basically have to fight for more than three rounds every day, and not only that, none of the maids around him can escape, just five days, Kinoshita Toyoshiro, who is already very thin, has lost weight again, and his body is even weaker.

If the clan could learn about this news, he would inevitably laugh and say, "Why doesn't this monkey stop selling more effort and just play to the death." ”

When Kinoshita Toyoshiro was just about to fight with Ningning, Kinoshita Koichiro had already come outside the hall, and not only him, Niwa Nagahide had also arrived outside the door, Kinoshita Toyoshiro was already in a bad mood, and now he was disturbed again, so he became even more irritable, if it wasn't for Niwa Nagahide also coming, then he would definitely unceremoniously blow Koichiro away.

"Niwa-sama, do you have anything to say about this visit?" Kinoshita Tojiro changed his low-spirited style and said majestically.

But although the words are very powerful, with his weak body, how to look at it and feel funny.

Niwa Nagahide saw that Toyoshiro was only a few days old, and he couldn't help frowning, and now he has completely thrown himself into the Kinoshita faction, if something goes wrong with him, then the Niwa family will be all over, with Niwa Nagahide's loyalty to the Oda family, he helps Kinoshita Toyoshiro talk on weekdays, until there is no problem, and let him make up his mind to devote himself to the Kinoshita faction, not because of his unfilial son, but entirely because of the attitude of the lord.

With his intelligence, it can be seen that the lord wants to support Kinoshita Toyoshiro to compete with the Takayama Shibata faction, if he wants to answer such a goal, it is not enough to rely on Kinoshita Toyoshiro and those middle and lower level samurai, although the lord did not say anything more to himself, but he clearly knew that the lord still wanted to unite with Kinoshita Tojiro, so even if he was a little reluctant in his heart, he had to do this, not only that, but he also said that Mori Kecheng and Takigawa Ichiyi, it can be said that Kinoshita's faction can have today's scale, Half of it is his credit.

But now when he saw Kinoshita Tojiro sinking into a woman, he couldn't help but feel very regretful, but now that he had been branded as Kinoshita's faction, even if he regretted it too late, the only thing he could do now was to persuade him to return to the right path.

He came this time to discuss with Kinoshita Toyoshiro whether to attend the Takayama clan wedding, but now he has to put down business first, he is the same as Kinoshita Tojiro, and there is not much difference between knowledge and action, plus he is an old minister in the family, so it is persuasion, but it is more like criticism ......)
