The next day, Oda Yoshinobu called Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and told him about the methods he had in mind.

"Sword Palace?" Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna muttered the name.

"Not bad, Sword Palace! An absolutely neutral organization that integrates teaching, genre inheritance, genre identification, and swordsman rating! Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna did not speak, but quietly waited for Oda Yoshinobu's next words.

Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu immediately explained. "My idea is this, the Sword Palace, as an absolutely neutral organization, in addition to protecting the inheritance of the genre, will also identify all the genres, and only the genre that we recognize is considered a real genre. If it is not recognized, it means that most of the tricks of this genre are not much different from those that already exist. ”

"In addition to the genre, the Sword Palace will also conduct a level appraisal of all swordsmen! Only those who do have a certain strength in swordsmanship and have joined the genre recognized by the Sword Palace can be called swordsmen, and no one else will be recognized. At the same time, the strength of the swordsman is graded, and I initially think it can be divided into swordsman, swordsman, and big swordsman. The strength of the sword hero is to the level of Hikoshiro or Zong Yan, and the great sword master is like Nobutsuna or Tsukahara-sama. Yoshinobu Oda kept talking.

"In addition, the Sword Palace will also rank all recognized genres, swordsmen, and all sword moves and mysteries. Finally, the Sword Palace will open dojos across the country, and the dojos will only teach the basic swordsmanship that many elders have studied. After completing the study, the disciple can take the initiative to apply, or be recommended by the dojo teacher, and go to the Sword Palace to join a certain school to learn advanced swordsmanship. At that time, he will be able to be called a swordsman. Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

After listening to Oda Yoshinobu's words, although many of them Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna didn't know much about them, they were still shocked by what they heard, "This ...... Isn't this too ......" Tsukahara Bu Chuan shook his head, holding back for a long time, but he didn't know what to say.

And Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was the same, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Oda-sama, is your style too domineering?" ”

Well, since ancient times, the creation of all genres has actually been very simple, and that is to make a name for yourself! Well, it's that simple. Of course, under normal circumstances, people who dare to do this have two brushes, after all, after you set up a genre, if you just entertain yourself, then it's fine, but if it spreads, someone will naturally come to the door.

As mentioned earlier, the inheritance of schools in this era is actually very difficult, so in many cases, the competition for disciple resources between schools is very fierce. If the two genres are in the same place, it won't be long before a fierce battle takes place. The winner will get most of the disciple resources in the place, and the loser, even if he survives, can only leave in disgrace.

And even if there is only one genre in that place, when you become famous, there will be other swordsmen or schools to challenge you in order to gain greater fame.

But now Oda Yoshinobu is good, and he directly rejected all of the previous ones, do you want to become a swordsman? Come and get my approval. Do you want to start a genre? Come and get my approval. Do you want to get ranked? Come and get my approval.

Yes, only if you are recognized by the Sword Palace, the genre can be considered a genre, and the swordsman can be considered a swordsman, if you can't get it, you are nothing. How so? If it weren't for the fact that Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna had been co-opted by Oda Yoshinobu, they would definitely be so angry when they heard this statement.

How could there be such a domineering organization in the world? Both Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Tsukahara Buden could already imagine what a huge condemnation it would attract when the Sword Palace released these words.

"Oda-sama, if your words get out, I'm afraid the three of us won't have to do anything other than face countless challenges every day." Tsukahara Buchuan smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tsukahara-sama, I already have a solution to this." ”

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna glanced at each other suspiciously, and their expressions were obviously a little unconvinced of Oda Yoshinobu's words. After all, as swordsmen, and veteran swordsmen, they know very well how conceited swordsmen are. It's not easy to convince them.

Just like in the past, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna met Tsukahara Buden, but he was also unconvinced at first, and after being defeated by Tsukahara Buden, he followed him to learn the arts, and Yagyu Sect also challenged Ueizumi Nobutsuna before he strictly apprenticed to him.

"The world's first martial arts competition!" Yoshinobu Oda chuckled and spat out such a word.

"The world's first martial arts competition?" Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Tsukahara Buden looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Not bad! It's the world's first martial arts competition! Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said excitedly, "I am going to use the power of my family, the imperial court, and the shogunate to hold this world's first martial arts competition!" There are no restrictions on genres, weapons or even gender. As long as you dare to participate, you will be asked to sign up! ”

"Since ancient times, unless it is a competition, the vast majority of people can only rely on hearsay. Even if some people want to find someone else to challenge, it takes luck. So I think it's better to hold a martial arts competition and let everyone compete together, so that who is the best in the world will be clear? Yoshinobu Oda smiled.

"In this way, Lord Oda will naturally be able to obtain the title of the number one in the world, and then put forward the proposal of the Sword Palace, I believe that even if there are still many people who oppose it, at least they will not dare to oppose it openly." Tsukahara Buchuan smiled after reacting.

Hearing this, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna also nodded, "Yes, and with the combination of the Oda family, the imperial court, and the shogunate, even if other schools or swordsmen are unwilling, they will not be able to stop the establishment of the Sword Palace and the promulgation of rules." ”

"That's it~" Oda Yoshinobu took out a cigar and handed it to the two of them, lit it and said again, "And from then on, in the hearts of the common people, Kennomiya will become the representative of kendo." At that time, we will continue to open dojos, and it will be natural to engrave the idea that the Sword Palace is the only orthodoxy of kendo in the hearts of all civilians. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the two of them and said, "Moreover, we can also win over some people first, there are so many disciples of Shintsuna, and Lord Tsukahara, I believe this should be a very simple matter." ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Oda!" Hearing this, the two said respectfully. After listening to Oda Yoshinobu's words, Tsukahara Buden and the two no longer had any doubts.

After all, Oda Yoshinobu's innate advantage is too great, he himself has the strength to be invincible in the world, and he is only 27 years old this year. At the same time, the Oda family is now the overlord of, and Oda Yoshinobu is the god of war of the Oda family. In addition, if the imperial court and the shogunate came forward at the same time, it was enough to generate the idea that no one would be able to refuse. After all, the Oda family, the shogunate, and the imperial court combined were too large for a small school.

Hearing the words of the two, Oda Yoshinobu nodded with satisfaction, as long as there was the help of Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, he was full of 100% confidence in the success of this matter. Because he really couldn't think of any possibility of failure in this country for the Sword Palace, which was built by gathering him, Tsukahara Buden, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, the Oda family, the shogunate, and the imperial court.

"In addition, for the grading of positions in the Sword Palace, for the time being, they are set as disciples, Dharma protectors, elders, and palace masters. The elders are the successors of each school, and the protectors are selected through a competition, and the number of people is tentatively set at four. As for the palace master, it was voted on by all the elders. Yoshinobu Oda continued.

In this regard, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Tsukahara Buden naturally did not have any opinions, and subsequently, Oda Yoshinobu stipulated the uniform dress of the Sword Palace and other issues, and the two still did not have any ideas. In their words, "Oda-sama, you can make your own decisions about this, and even if you tell us, we won't be able to raise any opinions." Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna smiled bitterly.

Now that the new Yin Stream is unifying the costumes, the rules are also set by Oda Yoshinobu, in this regard, although Kamiizumi Nobutsuna feels all kinds of conveniences, but if he is asked to modify a certain rule, he is really powerless. It's not that Oda Yoshinobu's rules are perfect, but for him, it's better to study new swordsmanship than to think about these boring things.

The three of them chatted for a while, and basically Oda Yoshinobu was talking, and Tsukahara Buden was listening. Suddenly, Oda Yoshinobu turned his head to Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and smiled, "Nobutsuna, speaking of which, if the Sword Palace is established, the promise made to you will be broken......"

Hearing this, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna immediately said, "What did Lord Oda say, the establishment of the Sword Palace will be of great benefit to the entire kendo. How could Shingang refuse this for his own selfish gain? After a pause, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna said again, "Moreover, I am confident that even if all the genres are at the same starting point, the new Yin stream will still become the strongest genre in the world!" ”

"Haha! Xinzuna! You can say that again! Tsukahara Buchuan laughed and said, "Speaking of the old man, I want to accept apprentices again~"

"Hehe, Tsukahara-sama, you can retire with peace of mind~" Kamiizumi Nobutsuna laughed. Tsk, it seems that people who have been in contact with Oda Yoshinobu for a long time will always become a little big and small. If it was before, where did Kamiizumi Nobutsuna dare to talk to Tsukahara Buden like this?

However, Tsukahara Bu Chuan didn't care about this, and just laughed, "Haha, the old man is not old yet!" Xingang, how about we compare when the time comes? ”

Hearing this, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna could only helplessly beg for mercy, "Tsukahara-sama, if you really want to accept apprentices, I'm afraid that no one can compete with you except Oda-sama." ”

"Yes, if Oda-sama is willing to accept apprentices, the Flying Sword Stream is the strongest school in the world!" Tsukahara Bu rumored to agree.

"Haha~ I would be proud of the two of you praising me like this~" Oda Yoshinobu laughed and said, "However, the Flying Edgeworth Stream is not without heirs, and my brother's eldest daughter, Yoshi, has already learned most of the swordsmanship of the Flying Edgeworthy Stream." ”

Hearing this, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna suddenly looked at Oda Yoshinobu in disbelief, "Princess Ji? She's already learned the swordsmanship of the Flying Sword Stream?! ”

"Not bad~ But over the years, Ji has been learning other aspects of knowledge, so it's normal for you not to know about Xingang." Yoshinobu Oda said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna shook his head helplessly, "I really can't imagine that Ji can actually learn to fly the sword stream." "Hawkers, it's not that Kamiizumi Nobutsuna looks down on Ji, the main thing is that the Flying Sword Flow is a swordsmanship that requires a lot of physical fitness, and it is not something that ordinary people can learn at all. And Ji is not only young, but also a girl.

"Haha~Genius~" Oda Yoshinobu laughed, and then turned the subject back to the Sword Palace again.

"I still have some thoughts on the issue of the Sword Palace. For example, set up a leaderboard to divide swordsmen, genres, and mysteries into swordsmen, so as to stimulate all swordsmen and schools to become stronger. Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Tsukahara Bu Chuan shook their heads again and again, "In this way, will it cause some unnecessary contradictions?" ”

Since ancient times, there has been no first martial arts and no second, and if it is really discharged, I am afraid that a large number of people will not be convinced. It's like in the martial arts novel, the question of who is stronger in the Qi Sect Sword Sect can make the Huashan faction almost wiped out by its own people.

It's just that for the worries of the two of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, Oda Yoshinobu scoffed, "Two, if the school or swordsman on the top will feel afraid of even the challenge, then it can only mean two problems, there is a problem with the ranking we specified, and this genre or swordsman does not have the heart of a strong man." ”

After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "Of course, once the leaderboard appears, the challenge is inevitable, but as long as we give the corresponding channels and don't let them compare casually in private, it can naturally be solved." ”

"What Oda-sama means...... The world's first martial arts competition? Kamiizumi Nobutsuna asked in unison.

"Not bad~ Such a grand and lively conference, if it is only compared once, it will be too wasteful." Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile, "Personally, I think that the tournament can be a four-year competition." In this way, it also gives those who fail some time to improve. ”

Hearing this, Nobutsuna Kamiizumi suddenly asked a question, "Oda-sama, it sounds good to have a jousting tournament to solve all problems." But in this way, there will also be a problem, that is, how to compare. ”

As he spoke, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna told him about an incident he had encountered in the dojo before, "I remember that time, I went to the dojo in Kyoto to check the situation, and I happened to meet the disciples who were testing each other's martial arts. Originally, I thought that the disciple who won the final victory was the strongest, but the disciple who was defeated by another person offered to compete with him again. And in the end, the disciple who won the final victory was defeated by the disciple who challenged him. ”

Hawkers, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's words are simply that A wins B, B wins C, but C wins A. In this way, who is the strongest?

This problem is often completely unsolvable, after all, many things themselves are mutually reinforcing.

However, Oda Yoshinobu thought very simply. "It's good to have a qualifying battle, and when we get out of the rankings, if someone doesn't feel convinced, they can challenge anyone in the rankings. If there are many people to challenge, let them compete with each other first. ”

After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu added again, "But in order to prevent endless competitions, we can set a price for a ranked challenge, such as 10 yuan for a challenge." If you don't have enough money, you can use a famous knife as collateral. Won, return it all. If you lose, it's all to the challenged. ”

"This ...... What if you don't have money and don't have a famous knife? After Tsukahara asked, he was happy at first.

"Haha~ Then wait another 4 years~" Oda Yoshinobu also smiled, "And sometimes, luck is also a kind of strength, isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna nodded.

Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "In addition, in order for the Sword Palace not to become the sword of a certain force, it is necessary to set the rules, and the Sword Palace will never be inclined to any force. At the same time, the disciples of the Sword Palace are not allowed to bring the grudges between forces into the Sword Palace. After all, many genres work for various daimyos, and if you don't set the rules, I'm afraid your own people will fight every day. ”

"Yes, there must be such a rule." Nobutsuna Kamiizumi and the two nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that the two agreed, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "At the same time, if there is a personal vendetta between the two or the two schools, you can invite someone to come to the Sword Palace with a high status to mediate." For example, Tsukahara-sama or Nobutsuna, if the mediation fails, you can apply for a fight or a life-and-death fight. But if it is a life-and-death fight, the two sides must not be the last heirs of the genre. You must first find a disciple to pass on the genre, and then fight to the death. ”

Hearing this, the two nodded again and again, and it seemed that the two of them had entered the rhythm of not being able to interject again. Later, the two discussed again, and Oda Yoshinobu went to Gifu Castle to report the matter to Oda Nobunaga.

"Sword Palace? The world's first martial arts competition? Yoshinobu Oda groaned as he took out a cigar and lit it. After half a ring, Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said, "Tell me, what is the benefit of this for the family?" I thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that there was no other benefit besides expanding the influence of my family. ”

"But here's the problem, in terms of influence, even if you don't do this, this family is still the center of focus today. And through the Sword Palace to increase the average strength of the civilians in the territory, the new Yin Stream can also do it. Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice.

For a long time, Oda Nobunaga has been almost obedient to Oda Yoshinobu, and in the hearts of many uninformed people, Oda Yoshinobu and Oda Nobunaga have long gone beyond brotherhood or monarchy. Well...... Even those good friends who like to play the way of the people, I'm afraid they can't compare to the previous relationship between Oda Yoshinobu and Oda Nobunaga.

But in fact, Oda Nobunaga never felt that there was anything strange about this kind of thing, because every suggestion made by Oda Yoshinobu, Oda Nobunaga could find something beneficial to the Oda family. And if there is no advantage, the same will be refused. In fact, there are a lot of proposals from Oda Yoshinobu who are messing around, but when he broke with Oda Nobunaga, a favorable proposal popped up inexplicably, and then it was constantly revised and corrected by Oda Nobunaga, and it was passed.

Oda Yoshinobu was naturally prepared for Oda Nobunaga's question, because he also knew that Oda Nobunaga's trust in him did not come out of thin air, but in exchange for his various opinions that were worth adopting.

"It's not just about the benefits." Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice, "The world's first martial arts tournament does not limit identity or anything, so the family can send many samurai to participate. I believe that Eli's martial arts and bravery will still be able to achieve good results. When the time comes, their fame will be able to be easily played. ”

After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "A samurai with a martial name outside the world, the role he plays on the battlefield, I believe I don't need to say more, brother, you should also be clear." In addition, by holding such a convention, the relationship between the family and the shogunate and the imperial court can also be known to the world. After all, as long as the work is done well on the surface, who knows what it looks like behind the scenes? ”

Looking at Oda Yoshinobu's teasing expression, Oda Nobunaga smiled angrily and scolded, "You kid has a lot of ghost ideas, what about the Sword Palace?" How do I not think its existence can be any good? ”

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu immediately smiled and said, "Brother, do you think that if the Sword Palace is built in Ise, then how many people in Ise Country will know swordsmanship?" ”

"Uh, there must be a lot, right? But as I said before, the new Yin Stream is also capable of doing the same. Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said.

"Yes, the New Yin Stream can indeed do this, but the Sword Palace can do even better! After all, if the Sword Palace is really established as I imagined, then there will be many genres. While it is not possible for all of these genres to stay in Ise, there will certainly be many left. And these people, they're always embarrassed to let us keep them, right? When the time comes, they will be randomly arranged in the dojo in Ise, and in this way, there will be more dojos, and there will naturally be more people learning swordsmanship. The more Yoshinobu Oda spoke, the more excited he became.

After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu said again. "Moreover, the most important point is that once the Sword Palace is established, it will inevitably become a place that all swordsmen in the world yearn for. Whether you're here for a challenge or want to apprentice, you have to come to Ise, right? And how many of these people do not have a lord's house? Besides, these people must eat and drink Lazar......"

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga was speechless for a moment, "You kid, are you calculating too much?" ”
