Chapter 4 Borrowing the city for a purpose
"How are you?" Kneeling in the main hall, Nobuhide was holding a meeting with his retainers, "No one thought of Oda Guojia's hand!" ”
The first position in the hall is Guo Jia, his eyes are shining with pride, only three thousand yuan in seven days in exchange for nearly two thousand young people and ten thousand family wealth.
Below them are the other descendants of the Oda family: Nobuhiro, Nobuyuki, and Oda Nobubo. In the other row are Nobuhide's retainers!
It's obvious, family assembly!
"Now that Oda Nobunaga has changed his name to Oda Guojia, you have no objection." Nobuxiu's words seem to be a question, but in fact, he doesn't want others to have any objections at all! If even the head of the Oda family has to disobey, it is estimated that he will only end up with a beheading. Besides, Guo Jia's work is not leaky, and all the young people he collected are handed over to Xinxiu to deal with, and even the money he earned is only left with the 3,000 guan rewarded by Xinxiu, and the remaining 10,000 guan is all handed over to Xinxiu!
Guo Jia understands the truth that a companion is like a tiger, once he leaves a little of these things, he may cause death for himself!
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that this kid Guo Jia has made another request, you might as well listen to it and express your opinions." Nobu-so's gaze turned to Guo Jia and motioned for him to speak.
"It's Father! Ladies and gentlemen, I've found a lot of ...... when I've been wandering around our city lately," Guo Jia stopped talking and turned his gaze to Nobuhide.
"It's okay, just say it." Xinxiu had already heard what Guo Jia wanted to say, and even had a heated argument with him. But he saw Guo Jia's vision.
"Recently, I found out that we are in Owari, the terrain is dangerous, and there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and this is the map. Ladies and gentlemen, take a look lately! Guo Jia picked up a rolled-up sheepskin map from next to him, and spread it out to see that it was a detailed map of the entire continent of the island country and the distribution of forces.
"Now we are in Owari on the lower right side of the sea, which is a plain, surrounded by mountains, and is in an extremely important transportation artery!" Guo Jia pointed to the location of Owari on the map, and explained to them in detail, "To the east is Enoe Province, which is the territory of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the three cities of Suruga, Enoe, and Mikawa have been divided into three cities, and he has long pacified civil strife and has a huge power, and to the west is Mino Province, Saito Michizo's territory, not to mention a single Inabayama Castle, if you send troops to attack, can you defeat it?" Guo Jia was explaining the surrounding forces in detail, when a discordant voice sounded.
"People have just become other people's sons-in-law, and they want to attack other people's Meinong pit vipers? Arrogant! It was Oda Nobuyuki who spoke, he had never looked down on Nobunaga since he was a child, but now he was not facing the Nobunaga of the past.
"I didn't say that if I became someone's son-in-law, I would attack. And even if we don't provoke them, do you think Mino Viper will give up this big piece of meat in front of you? Guo Jia's words turned Xinxing's face red!
"And, Shinyuki! My brother told you that you are not qualified to talk to me now! Now it's my father who has made me speak! Guo Jia looked at this younger brother mockingly. Nothing more? Then I'll continue. The corners of Guo Jia's mouth hooked up.
"Now we have the main transportation routes in these two areas, and don't forget that these times are troubled times! If you were given a chance to be king, would you take it? Mino won't talk about it, but there is an Owari tiger among us! Guo Jia chuckled and looked at Xinxiu, and Xinxiu was even more fond of Guo Jia when he was made like this. However, Guo Jia's voice changed, "But what about Yuanjiang?" If they're going to go to Los Angeles, you think about it, they're going to take that route. ”
Guo Jia finally said what he thought, and the faces of the many strategists and generals sitting there were instantly gloomy. "I thought that Yuanjiang Country didn't have such a big force, but after Guo Jia said this, it's true, it's old! I don't understand young people anymore. ”
"Everyone knows what is in the Yuanjiang area, and it is estimated that we can kill our Obari by taking out the strength of a city at will." Guo Jia knew that in the normal history of the past, Oda Nobunaga had led 5,000 troops to defeat the 20,000 army of Imagawa Yoshimoto in Enoe, but he did not get any benefits in Enoe.
"Now I want to ask my father to lend me this ancient wild city for use." Guo Jia spoke his mind. But this idea carries a great rebellion!
"Father! No! Absolutely not! Oda Nobunaga, he's plotting rebellion! At this time, Nobuyuki spoke again. It's a pity that he didn't know that there was an ancient saying in the Celestial Empire that a gun shoots a bird in the head.
"Shut up!" Xinxiu watched Guo Jia being interrupted twice, although he wasn't very angry, but he heard Xinxing's words of disobedience to him! "His name is Oda Kakuka! Have you forgotten what I said? ”
Nobuyuki was stunned for a moment, and quickly knelt down, he didn't understand why his father, who had always doted on him, would treat him like this today.
"Guys, what do you think?" Nobuhide didn't intend to punish Nobuyuki, so he changed the conversation and asked his retainers.
"I don't think so, it's true if you believe in it, after all, lending Guo Jia a city is nothing, but lending him that ancient wild city can't!" A retainer spoke, he felt that this matter was too terrible, and if Guo Jia went down one day (that is, killing the king and killing his father and establishing himself as the king), it would be a big trouble.
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
"I also second."
The voices of everyone's opposition came out one after another, except for an old minister, who tied Zheng Xiu! This is the most famous "corpse" hero in history. The old minister felt that he couldn't think so. Let's listen to Guo Jia's plan first. ”
"Good. Then you can talk about it. Xinxiu nodded, this old minister who had been teaching Guo Jia would be reasonable if he defended Guo Jia.
"Borrowing the city for a month, develop agriculture, commerce, and coastal seaports, expand the scope of Nakono City, absorb more merchants into the city, absorb the Nanban forces (the island people called Europeans at that time), and increase the development of the plains." Guo Jia said his purpose in one breath.
"There are other extenuating circumstances, but why do you want to absorb the Nanban forces?" Nobuhide frowned, he had always been unaccustomed to the Southern Barbarians.
"Because they have high-tech and cutting-edge weapons!" Guo Jia took a fancy to the iron cannon brought here by the Europeans! This kind of thing is a gun, and if this thing is put into mass production, what a terrible thing.
"What?" Nobuhide could understand the meaning of weapons, but he didn't understand the meaning of the word high-tech.
"Well, it's their iron cannon! Father, you think, the two armies are fighting, they are charging over there, we are holding iron cannons on this side, waiting for them to approach slowly, and then the archers release their arrows, and the artillery men in front of them fire a volley, so what will happen to their dead and wounded. Guo Jia touched his nose, he forgot that here he could only use more understandable words.
"Yes. That's true. In this way, I will borrow you for twenty days, and I will see the desired effect after twenty days, otherwise ......" Nobuhide didn't want to discuss it with his retainers at all, because he had already agreed to Guo Jia's borrowing of the city not long ago.
"Otherwise, you will commit suicide." Guo Jia smiled, seppuku? Inexistent.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but they still dispersed, and they didn't dare not listen to the words of the Oda family governor. Only Guo Jia and Xinxiu were left in the lobby discussing various details.
As night wore on, the moon in the sky was revealed, and candlelight in the lobby reflected on the faces of the two men.
"Son, this is the second time you've talked to me for so long. Think about the time you sat here with me and listened to me. Nobuhide found himself in love with this man who had been called an Owari fool since he was a child, and he saw many things in Guo Jia that ordinary people could not understand.
"Father, I was not sensible when I was a child, but when I grew up and married a wife, I wanted to give her happiness and fulfill my wish when I was a child." Guo Jiacai didn't care about Xinxiu's thoughts, and fooled Xinxiu with his ability to say good things to adults from childhood to adulthood.
"Guo Jia, but you have to understand that borrowing the city is not a trivial matter, if you fail, then I really can't protect you, and you said this kind of suicide." Shinxiu's voice changed and he said earnestly.
"Don't worry, seppuku? I haven't lived enough. Guo Jia smiled, stood up and walked in front of Xinxiu, and helped the burly man to his feet. The candlelight shone on the man's face, and the eyes he looked at Guo Jia no longer had the nobility of the superior, but instead of pampering. His face did not lose the fierceness of the Owari tiger, but the vicissitudes of decades.
"Father, it's time to rest." Guo Jia looked at the man, and his heart was also touched, this man reminded him of the old father at home, when Guo Jia went out to work hard, the old father's face was the same as the current Xinxiu.
"Big man, what are you crying about!" Xinxiu looked at the tears in Guo Jia's eyes and reached out to help him wipe them away.
"Doesn't this see that you are tired and distressed?" Guo Jia hurriedly smiled, not wanting Xinxiu to know his true thoughts.
"You, go back quickly, there are still people waiting for you at home." Nobu-su stretched his waist, shook his head and smiled.
"Uh." Guo Jia was even more embarrassed by such a play.
"I'll go first. Tomorrow you remember to get my paperwork. Xinxiu patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and turned his head to walk towards his bedroom.
Guo Jia looked at the man's back fixedly, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.
It was dark in the corridor, and Guo Jia walked out of the council hall with his own memories and returned to his room in a circle.
It was getting late, but there was some candlelight in the room. Guo Jia opened the door and saw Gui Die on the tatami mat, she was lying on the table, kneeling on the tatami mat, obviously asleep in the process of waiting for Guo Jia. And in front of her, there was still a single untouched meal.
Guo Jia's heart warmed, and he walked to Guidie's side lightly, took off his coat, and draped it on Guidie's body. But just like that, Gui Die was woken up by Guo Jia.
"I'm back." Guidie held Guo Jia's hand and pinned a strand of hair hanging from his head behind his ear.
"I've been waiting." Guo Jia didn't know what to say at this time, so he hugged Guidie in his arms. "You're still waiting for me. You can't do that next time, if I don't come back on time, you can just eat first. ”
"Husband." Guidie looked at Guo Jia in surprise, he said this in Guidie's heart, but he really didn't abide by women's morality.
"Husband, don't talk about this, the food is cold, I'll go and heat it up." Gui Die's fist hit Guo Jia in the chest. The heat she said was really regenerating the fire and recooking a table.
"I'll do it." Guo Jia hurriedly got up, sat down Guidie, and went by himself.
Guo Jia himself can cook, but as a single dog, he can't use his skills, but this time he has a reason to show the skills he learned from his mother.
After the two of them finished eating, cleaned up, they lay down on the tatami mats that had been covered with mats, ready to rest.
"Gui Die, I guess I won't be able to accompany you for a while." Guo Jia said in a deep voice.
"It's okay, it's good that my husband has me in his heart." Guidie hugged Guo Jia and buried her head deep in Guo Jia's chest.
"It's hard for you." Guo Jia touched Guidie's head and said softly.
"Sengoku? Wait, I, Guo Jia, will unify you in less than thirty years! ”
