But what Nobunaga didn't expect was that not only did the clan not show negativity in the face of Hojo, but actively tried to find a way to complete the task, after the clan said just now, Nobunaga was very moved, especially when he heard that he was for the unification of his family, he did not hesitate to anger himself, such a retainer is needed by every force, but most of the forces do not have it, so the family is very lucky. Although Nobunaga already regretted a little in his heart, he shouldn't have said that cruel words to the clan, but he didn't show it on the surface, and only heard him say: "Okay, I understand your intentions, as for the affairs of the Asai family, I will do it according to your ideas, but if there is the help of the Asai family, I can't eliminate Hojo within five years, then don't blame me for not being merciful." ”

The clan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and it seemed that the matter of the Asai family was completely resolved. It's definitely another big boost for me. And once Asai Nagamasa knows that he will not hesitate to anger Nobunaga to protect it, how can he not be grateful to himself, for Asai Nagamasa's character, he is still very relieved, although there was a black history of betraying Nobunaga, but it was on the side of the weak Asakura family, and did not tend to be attached to the Oda family, this is the rarest, if Asai Nagamasa in turn helped Nobunaga eliminate Asakura, then the clan turned to doubt his character.

Speaking of Nobunaga, he originally wanted the clan to hand over the hostages, but the clan's words just now had already shown the loyalty of the other party, and he was so bad that he still spoke, so he finally gave up, which also allowed the clan's family to escape.

Originally, today's audience could have come to an end.

However, with Kinoshita Hideyoshi's capture of Bizen, Misaku, and the Tokugawa family, loyal allies of the Oda family, occupied Tajima and Inaba, even if all the remaining forces in the world united, they were no longer the opponents of the main family. In this way, Nobunaga was moved to abolish the emperor.

The reason why he wanted to abolish the emperor was not because he wanted to enjoy himself, but because he was very dissatisfied with the status quo in the world, and he believed that the reason for the constant strife in his country was that his country was constantly divided. It's all caused by the division of the feudal system.,If the shogunate is strong, the world will be safe.,If the shogunate is weak, the world is chaotic.,This Nobunaga feels very deeply.,So once the world is completed.,Then the first thing is to abolish the feudal counties.,And this inspiration is also from the clan.,Although the last time the clan made a new deal in the territory finally failed.,But it left a deep impression on Nobunaga.。

He thought there was absolutely nothing wrong with the clan sect doing this. With a large amount of money, the land of the lord is redeemed, although the lord has money, but does not have land and military power, then even when the ruler is weaker, it will not cause a rebellion, after all, it is useless to have money alone, even if you spend a lot of money to make up an army. But such a rootless duckweed force will not last long. In the end, it was difficult to escape the end of destruction. In this way, long-term peace and stability can be achieved. In order to achieve this goal, Nobunaga believed that the first thing was to strengthen his own power until he could fight the world alone, which was the most difficult thing to achieve, but the Oda family has already reached this height. Besides. He wanted to abolish the emperor and carry out a comprehensive and thorough reform, and the emperor was the first hurdle on his path to reform. Although the emperor did not hold real power, he interfered in his decisions from time to time, which was also unacceptable to Nobunaga. So the emperor had to abdicate.

This would have been very simple for Nobunaga if it had been implemented, but it was easy to do, but it required a lot of courage, and coincidentally, the last thing Nobunaga lacked was courage. As for the abolition of the emperor, it will inevitably cause hostility from other forces, but Nobunaga is not worried at all, with the death of Uesugi Kenshin, there is no one in the world, any force to shake the rule of the Oda family, Maori is not good, Hojo is not good, even if Maori and Hojo are united, there is no one else, Dewa, Okulu is just some small shrimp, Echigo's Uesugi is gone, Uesugi Kenshin can't make any big waves at all, Hojo has a high mountain to resist, Maori seems to be strong, but the internal contradictions are suppressed by the monkey Tokugawa, Can't move at all, not to mention that the three families in Kyushu are still attacking each other, even if they are united, they don't have much power, such as today's general trend has been completely controlled by their own family, if they don't open their eyes, then they don't mind destroying them.

But Nobunaga forgot one thing, once he wants to abolish the emperor, these legions of the Oda family, will these retainers turn against him, this is actually Nobunaga thought about this, but he doesn't think that these things will happen at all, because he still feels that he still has absolute control over the retainers of the Oda family, and he also thinks that even if someone in the family rebels, but the six legions will never rebel against him, in Nobunaga's view, their loyalty is undoubted, as long as they are in the family, then the family is still like a mountain, but he didn't know that his thoughts were the opposite of reality, even if the retainers did not have the heart of rebellion now, then once the territory of the six legions was ransomed, only giving money to the legion commanders, but not giving military power or land, then these people must be the first to rebel. Because they have enjoyed the advantages of power for a long time, and suddenly they have nothing but money, and even if they don't want to rebel, they can't help but rebel, and no one wants to give up the rights they have.

Seeing that Nobunaga didn't speak for a long time, the clan didn't know if he had anything to order, he didn't want to spend it here anymore, who knew if the other party would suddenly think of something to toss himself, so he only heard him ask: "I don't know if the lord still has something to order?" ”

The voice lagged behind, and this pulled Nobunaga from fantasy to reality. "Well, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you, that is, I think that the existence of the emperor has seriously hindered development, looking at the world, now other countries have begun to develop at a high speed, and look at the difference between us and hundreds of years ago, there is still a continuous civil war, like this, I think that my Yamato nation will inevitably be conquered by other powerful countries, or even completely wiped out, and if you want to catch up with them, or even surpass them, then you must carry out reforms, so the emperor must be abolished, because his existence has blocked the road to reform. Senbei, what do you think? ”

Nobunaga did not put on a show of the lord this time, but was going to discuss this issue with the clan, because now in the whole world, there is no one who can discuss this matter together, because their thinking is old-fashioned, and what they say, not to mention whether they oppose it or not, whether they can understand it or not is a problem, so Nobunaga has always been thinking about it by himself. But suddenly I thought that the clan had the experience of reform, and his reform ideas were similar to his own, which suddenly made him find the feeling of a bosom friend, and it can be said that the reform of the clan gave him a lot of inspiration, especially the policy of redemption, which suddenly gave Nobunaga a lot of inspiration, and although the clan abolished the new policy in the end, but Nobunaga thought that the clan was successful, because even if the new policy was implemented, although his retainers complained a little, but no one rebelled, for Nobunaga, as long as there was no large-scale rebellion, it was a success, As for why it didn't continue to be implemented, in the end, Nobunaga felt that it was because the prestige of the clan in the Takayama family was not enough, and if he had been himself, such a problem would never have arisen, and Nobunaga was still very confident in himself.

Hearing Nobunaga's old story brought up again, the clan also fell into thinking, and Nobunaga also gave him time to think, after all, reform is not a random idea, it can be achieved by saying two sentences at will, this must be carefully deployed, fully prepared, and he can wait for decades, not to mention giving the clan some time to think. So Nobunaga didn't urge, and unexpectedly waited there quietly, waiting for the clan to speak.

Speaking from the heart, the brains of the clan are very chaotic now, with Nobunaga's attitude towards himself just now, then he can't wait for Nobunaga's reform, because he knows that the reform will never succeed, and in history, Akechi Mitsuhide really rebelled because a stinky fish was scolded by Nobunaga and launched the change of Instinct Temple? No, that's because in history Nobunaga was to abolish the emperor and carry out a comprehensive reform, under the instigation of the emperor, Akechi would rebel, this time, although he looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, then there must be others who were bewitched by the emperor, the clan knew that the emperor did not hold real power, but it was a symbol of existence in the world, he represented the divine right, the divine right is inviolable, once Nobunaga destroyed the gods, then without the intervention of external forces, the Oda family's own people and horses were enough to eliminate him, and he had a chance to replace him. So from this point of view, the clan is supportive, Nobunaga is not dead, how to replace himself.

But the clan never wants this matter to develop too fast, and it must be delayed, because now he is not strong enough, it is best to wait for himself to seize the Kanto, and then Nobunaga will abolish the emperor, and at that time, whether it is advancing or retreating, he is invincible, and he can rely on more than 4 million stone territory, 100,000 troops, out of the Kanto to fight for the world, retreat and wait for the world to change, no matter what, as long as the Kanto is in hand, then he will become a powerful force that can influence the trend of the world, just like the Oda family in the past few years, This is just the main family, if there are Shibata, Sakuma, Asai, Nagamune and other forces that support him to help, looking at the world, once Nobunaga dies, who else can compete with him?

These three thoughts came to his mind again and again, and the clan immediately felt that it was the last thought that was in his best interest, and it didn't matter whether Nobunaga died in the rebellion or not. (To be continued.) )
