Chapter 679: Kii Province Blitz (3)
"That's right...... In the end, Sata chose to ...... seppuku," Oda Yoshinobu looked at Shigehide Suzuki, who was prostrating in front of him, and said lightly, "Then, from today onwards, the Saga people will be incorporated into the Iron Artillery Team."

"Yes!" Shigehide Suzuki replied in a deep voice.
"In addition, although Sata is an enemy of his own family, he is also a respectable samurai after all, so you can take care of his burial......" Oda Yoshinobu said again.
"Thank you, my lord!" Shigehide Suzuki replied, and then left at the signal of Oda Yoshinobu.
After Suzuki Shigehide left, Li Huamei on the side suddenly asked, "Lord, why don't you ask what Chongxiu and his father said?" Li Huamei's words obviously meant something.
"Dead?"
Oda Yoshinobu raised his eyebrows, obviously understanding the meaning of Li Huamei's words. And it wasn't just Li Huamei, Shigeji Takenaka and Fernande on the side also nodded.
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu chuckled, "It's not impossible, but I'll use people~ Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people~"
In this regard, Li Huamei and the three of them didn't say anything, after all, they were just in their own duty to remind Oda Yoshinobu. After all, how could they not know about Oda Yoshinobu's employment policy?
Of course, if it were someone else, I am afraid that it would be difficult to reassure these important ministers with such a sentence, after all, Suzuki Shigehide was responsible for training the entire iron artillery team under Oda Yoshinobu. However, under Oda Yoshinobu, this kind of worry really doesn't need to be too concerned.
The reason is also very simple, although the ninja army under the command of Oda Yoshinobu still has not been able to spread ninjas all over the world, at least in Ise, whether the ninjas of other forces want to infiltrate or the people on their own side want to get out, it is impossible. And as for the army...... Well, ideological and political education is the content that all the troops under the command of Oda Yoshinobu must study, and there is only one content, Oda Yoshinobu is both a god and everything, and must be unconditionally loyal.
Speaking of which, after Oda Nobunaga learned about this, he also deliberately laughed at Oda Yoshinobu, and the reason was very simple, the most realistic guy was actually ready to use deification to enhance the loyalty of the army? Isn't that hilarious?
However, Oda Yoshinobu still goes his own way, and he firmly believes that the benefits of doing so definitely outweigh the disadvantages. And, in fact, his troops are loyal, aren't they? For now, though, it doesn't seem that his troops have undergone much of a test. Of course, the most important thing is that Oda Yoshinobu likes the feeling of being worshiped as a god.
Shigehide Suzuki, who returned to Saga Castle, led someone to bury Satsuo Suzuki's body in a hill not far from Saga Castle after pacifying the subordinates of the Suzuki family who had surrendered.
"Father, don't worry, whether it's the Suzuki family or the Saga family, the lord has already handed it over to the child. And the child will lead them to achieve more martial arts in future wars, so that the world knows that Suzuki and Saga are definitely not mercenaries who only recognize money! Shigehide Suzuki looked at Satsuo Suzuki's tombstone and made an oath.
At the same time, all the major forces in Kii Province were attacked by the troops under Oda Yoshinobu. Shimazo Kon, Ii Naotora, Sakakihara Yasumasa, Yamanaka Shikasuke, and Niko Katsuhisa respectively led troops to raid these places. Like Saga Castle, they had no idea that they would suddenly be attacked by the Oda family, especially since the attack was still from behind their very safe back.
Therefore, it was only necessary to hold out until dawn, and all these cities that had been suddenly attacked were captured. After all, in addition to not being prepared at all, their strength was far inferior to that of the Oda army. Coupled with the elusive ninja army, they had no way to defend the city.
However, after taking the city, Shimazuojin and the others did not stop, but asked the various city lords who were forced to surrender to immediately send people to persuade their retainers to surrender, and at the same time sent troops to pacify the surrounding people. These were all arrangements that Oda Yoshinobu had laid out before he landed in Kii, and the most important thing for him at this time was to speed up the ability of these retainers to take charge of themselves.
As mentioned before, when the territory expanded, Oda Yoshinobu could not participate in every war, so he had to get the young retainers to grow up as soon as possible. Fortunately, in various wars in the future, we will not fall into a disadvantage because of the lack of real generals.
Although it seems that Oda Yoshinobu is thinking a little too much, because with the current situation of the Oda family, it is more likely that Oda Yoshinobu will take Matsudaira Ieyasu and Imagawa Clan to fight against Takeda Shingen. In this way, there is no need for too many generals at all.
But obviously, Oda Yoshinobu is thinking about more than just the Takeda family, I don't know why, Oda Yoshinobu vaguely feels that all this seems to be inseparable from the Mori family, although there is no evidence. And more importantly, history has changed, because in history, the Uesugi family has never made the Hojo family vassals, and the Mori family has not beaten the Otomo family so miserably.
So although Oda Yoshinobu came in person this time, he didn't get off the ship at all.
"How's the arrangement over there?" Yoshinobu Oda asked casually.
"All major intersections have been blocked, and residents of the territory have expressed their willingness to cooperate. I will never leave Kii Province until my family agrees. Li Huamei replied in a deep voice.
"Very well, then then, just wait......" Oda Yoshinobu nodded, "Then, let's continue our discussion......" said the group, returning their attention to the sand table in front of them.
Three days later, under the frantic offensive of Shima Sakin and others, the war soon ended. In fact, even if you don't want to end it, it's very difficult, after all, Oda Yoshinobu's operation this time is completely a lightning-like decapitation operation, Suzuki, Nerai, and the main city of several powerful mercenary groups in Kii Province were all captured overnight, what can the other wealthy families do?
"Chongzhi, I will hand over the clan and Gaohu to you, and I will completely stabilize the Kii country as soon as possible." Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice. That Shigekane is Suzuki Shigehide's eldest brother Suzuki Shigekane, and after Suzuki Sataio seppuku, he obeyed his father's orders and surrendered Oda Yoshinobu.
"Please rest assured!" Shigeharu Takenaka said in a deep voice.
Nodding, Oda Yoshinobu left another 5,000 men for Shigeharu Takenaka, and then returned directly to Ise with the rest of the troops. And it wasn't until 5 days after the capture of Kii that the ninja army who blockaded Kii was lifted under the order of Shigeharu Takenaka, and at this time, the world knew that the master of Kii had changed.
