"The front is Hamamatsu City, please Your Highness the Inner Mansion and you must stay for a few more days, let me do my best as a landlord!" Tokugawa Ieyasu pointed forward from afar on his horse, and said very politely and slightly proudly to Oda Nobunaga and us who were following him.

"His Royal Highness Tokugawa is too polite, in fact, we are not bothering your hospitality these days!" It was not Oda Nobunaga who spoke, but it was the only Oda Nobutada who could speak less scruples in front of Oda Nobunaga. "The best way to get from to Kanto is the Tokaido, and the most important part of this journey is the section from Mikawa to Suruga. Now His Highness has taken this paragraph into his hands and has become a veritable 'host master'. In the future, if something happens in the eastern country, the imperial court and my father will rely heavily on His Royal Highness Tokugawa! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, everything is according to His Royal Highness the Inner Palace!" Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately smiled all over his face, and his expression was like that of a happy little landlord.

After the end of the war against the Takeda family, Oda Nobunaga moved Akechi Mitsuhide to Kai Feng for 200,000 koku, and appointed him as the leader of the Kanto region, and chose a weaker army commander to develop here, so it can be seen that my previous words still played a certain role. Tokugawa Ieyasu also got his wish and got his wish, fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

"Your Highness Tokugawa, if you want to move to Sunfu City, do you want to think about it again!" Seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu's feeling of contentment, Oda Nobunaga frowned. "Although Junfu City is far away from mountains and near waters, it is a mountain and water without relying on it, no matter how you look at it, there is no momentum at all, and it is not a place for troops to be used. No matter how I look at it, it's not as good as this Hamamatsu City, which connects the east and the west, controls the north and the south, and is extremely dangerous! As he spoke, he pointed around with the folding fan in his hand.

"What His Highness the Inner Mansion said is naturally good, but ...... But it's better to be in Sunhouse! Tokugawa Ieyasu said as he pointed around with a folding fan, and his tongue was slugging as he pointed back. Here, and there, it's just a poor mountain and a bad water! Compared with several countries in the East China Sea, the environment of Yuanjiang was originally the worst, and in the past, there was Takeda in the east who was always trying to annex it, and it was also a last resort to put the city and the main force here. But now ......"

"Oh, so what?" Oda Nobunaga tapped the saddle lightly with the folding fan bone, a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu strangely, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Now? Isn't it peaceful now! Tokugawa Ieyasu asked incomprehensibly. Now that His Royal Highness is already a Megatron, what else is there to worry about? As he spoke, he began to look forward to happiness again. …… When I was a child, I was most impressed by the days when I lived in Sunfu, and Mt. Fuji at sunset in the distance; The Abe River flows quietly past the wall; The feast of entertaining guests and friends in the castle tower has haunted me to this day! At that time, I saw the momentum of Imagawa Jibu with great admiration, and I didn't want my Ieyasu to have today......"

Oda Nobunaga listened quietly on the side, the smile on his face becoming more and more "sweet", and finally waited until Tokugawa Ieyasu finished speaking before nodding, reaching out and patting Tokugawa Ieyasu on the shoulder. "Brother Mikawa!" He used an intimate term that had been abandoned for decades. "You are right, after so many years of ups and downs, it is time for you and me to share the wealth. With you at the gateway to Tokaido, I can rest easy in Kyoto! ”

"Ji ...... Brother Jifashi, everything depends on it! Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded excitedly, almost in tears.

If I had been born into this era, if you had told me that he was the most dangerous careerist, I would have argued with you to the end after watching this scene. Standing not far away now, looking at their brothers, friends, and brothers, I only have a look that I want to laugh but can't.

Hamamatsu Castle was originally a castle with a clear military purpose, and because it was a system that blocked roads on the plains, the castle system was very large, but it was impossible to talk about luxury. Tokugawa Ieyasu also expressed some dissatisfaction with this during the visit, and people will feel that this is the real reason for his move. Until the reception banquet in the evening, Tokugawa Ieyasu continued to state his plans, so that people no longer had any doubts about his "satisfaction".

"Your Highness Tokugawa, I seem to remember that you got another prince a few years ago!" Knowing the outcome of the drama is very boring, sitting and sitting I suddenly want to meet the second-generation general who seems to be a vertical arch in history. Even though history has changed now, he is still an important player in my game of chess.

"Koko Nagamaru is indeed in Hamamatsu right now, but he is only three years old, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to attend such an occasion!" Tokugawa Ieyasu was a little surprised, and now his son is not famous.

"It's nothing, it's a matter of one day sooner or later!" Oda Nobunaga raised his hand to stop Tokugawa Ieyasu's shirk, and at this moment he showed great concern for the children of his relatives like an ordinary person. “…… I also heard that Your Highness Tokugawa has already focused on cultivating this child, and it seems that you have a certain plan in mind. It just so happens that the faithful are here today, and it is a good thing for them to get acquainted with each other earlier, after all, our inheritance depends on them for eternity! ”

"Okay, good, good, I'll have someone take him out at once!" Tokugawa Ieyasu said yes again and again, and immediately asked his personal surname to go in to inform. Although he had been acting very excited for the past few days, I could still notice that the muscles in his left cheek twitched unnaturally when I turned my head just now.

I probably know some of Tokugawa Ieyasu's intentions, he will not let the current eldest son Yu Yoshimaru inherit the family business, so the only way to do this is to quickly cultivate this youngest son who is still wearing open crotch pants, even if everything goes well, it will be fifteen or sixteen years later. Oda Nobunaga's words just now seem to have recognized the status of this son, and in his opinion, this is naturally a golden opportunity.

I glanced at Oda Nobunaga, but I didn't find anything special, did he really want to approve of Tokugawa Ieyasu's intentions? It's hard to say, but we'll have to see again.

"A salute to the Minister of the Interior!" The three-year-old child was carried out by the nursing mother, but the small body was wearing a very complete samurai costume, although it was a small version, it still looked clumsy and bloated, and a pair of big eyes flickered on the round face, and it seemed that he did not understand the words that had just been taught.

"Sure enough, he is a talent, and he is carved out of the same mold as His Royal Highness Tokugawa in all aspects!" Oda Nobunaga squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time, and he only spoke when Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but get nervous. "People say, 'Three years old looks young, seven years old looks old', I look at this child's appearance, he must be an honest and loyal gentleman in the future! What do you say? As he spoke, he looked at us inquiringly.

"Yes, the lord really has a pair of discerning eyes!" Naturally, we say yes again and again, can we say anything else?

I don't know how sure Oda Nobunaga is from his physiognomy, but it seems that the second-generation shogun did not establish any outstanding martial arts in the original history. However, during his reign, he also did things such as cutting off the Fukushima Shonori Domain, which effectively consolidated the authority of the Edo shogunate, and it is really difficult to say what the true ability of this person was. However, I am only interested in his abilities out of curiosity, and if I can't handle Tokugawa Ieyasu, then I will be even more powerless about his son, and vice versa.

"Thank you for the care of His Royal Highness the Uchifu, the Tokugawa family will definitely follow the Oda family for generations!" When Tokugawa Ieyasu said this, his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were shining.

Most of my knowledge of historical figures comes from books on memory, and I never dare to pretend to know people. Because of everything that happened later, Tokugawa Ieyasu was generally regarded as a conspirator, but what was it that made him start plotting the world? It's not easy to say, at least if Oda Nobunaga doesn't die or Toyotomi Hideyoshi doesn't die, he doesn't have the slightest chance. Working towards unrealistic goals can only lead to a ridiculous fool, so he should only aim to prosper the family at the moment!

"Your Highness Tokugawa, you are really a happy person!" Oda Nobunaga raised the glass in front of his eyes and shook it at Tokugawa Ieyasu. His face turned red from the drinking and excitement. "The Takeda family has perished, you and I will no longer have any enemies to worry about, and we will soon move to a good place like Sunfu, everything for you should really be 'satisfied'!"

"It will take a lot of effort to rebuild Junfu!" Oda Nobutada asked with "concern". "Due to the brutality of the Takeda Army, almost all of the castle towers and treasures in Sunfu were burned down, and only the part used for castle defense remains. His Royal Highness Tokugawa is now a daimyo in charge of 800,000 koku, and he is in an important passage between the east and the west, so even for the sake of face, he can't be too simple! ”

"This is still thanks to the gift of His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, and I am petitioning the Imperial Court to give His Majesty the Suruga Kingdom to the Tokugawa family!" Tokugawa Ieyasu walked around the table to Oda Nobunaga and filled a glass of wine himself. "Originally, the Tokugawa family was just a small daimyo in the Mikawa region, and if it weren't for the support of His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion for many years, it wouldn't be where it is today. With the income from the two gold mines of Tenryugawa and Mt. Fuji, I think it should not be a problem to rebuild Sunfu within three years! ”

"The Tokugawa family has been at the forefront of defending against Takeda's invasion for many years, and it is only right that they should be compensated!" Oda Nobunaga seemed to be understating, but in fact he was very happy. Because of his arrogant personality, he enjoys the feeling of giving and being appreciated by others. "This time, the imperial court will commend a series of meritorious officials, and when you arrive in Kyoto, please come with me to face the saints, and let the people of the world see the power of maintaining the righteous path!"

"The Tokugawa family will always follow His Highness the Inner Palace!" Tokugawa Ieyasu gave a big gift, and in a sense Oda Nobunaga made a promise in place of the imperial court. This time, it seems that Tokugawa Ieyasu's official position is about to be promoted again, and his years of tenacity have been rewarded with more rewards.

"Oh, yes!" Oda Nobunaga asked casually as if he suddenly remembered, "Why didn't Yu Yimaru see it, that is also the son-in-law of my Oda family!" In the future, in order to maintain the stability of the world, Shinzhong, Nagamaru, and Yuyoshimaru will continue the love of you and me forever. Your Highness Tokugawa, do you think so? ”

"Yes......"
