Chapter 662: Reward
At the beginning of July, in Gifu Castle, after dealing with post-war matters, Oda Nobunaga held another meeting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSpeaking of which, as the territory of the Oda family grows larger and larger, Oda Nobunaga has not officially held an assessment with that for a long time. But this is also normal, after all, Oda Yoshinobu and other important ministers have been sealed out one by one, and it is not very simple to hold an evaluation.
It was as if this time, Oda Yoshinobu of Ise, Shibata Katsuie of Echizen, and many retainers from and other places rushed to Gifu Castle. Such a laborious evaluation cannot be for some unimportant things.
"Everyone!" Oda Nobunaga glanced around at everyone, and the originally noisy assessment room suddenly fell silent. Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly, "This time, the Asakura family, who has always been against the main family, and the Asai family, who dared to betray the main family, were finally completely wiped out by the main family. This move not only strengthened the prestige of the family, let the world know the fate of daring to be enemies of the family, but also took a big step towards the road of dominating the world! ”
"All of this is inseparable from your efforts, but I hope you don't get complacent, because there are still powerful forces such as Uesugi, Takeda, and Mori in the world!" Oda Nobunaga kept saying. Although the Takeda family and the Oda family are still allies, just as Takeda Shingen is bent on Kamiro, Oda Nobunaga has never really regarded Takeda Shingen as an ally. In fact, now the Oda family is just waiting for Takeda Shingen to take the lead.
"Please rest assured! The subordinates will definitely continue to work hard to help the family unify the world as soon as possible! Everyone said in unison.
Nodding, Oda Nobunaga then said, "Then, Hidesada! ”
"In!" Lin Xiuzhen answered, then stood up and stepped forward, took a scroll from Oda Nobunaga's hand, and began to read.
If you want to talk about the first retainer of the Oda family, many people will think of Oda Yoshinobu, but in fact, the real number one retainer has always been Lin Xiuzhen's classmate. Because since the time of Oda Nobuhide, he has existed as the chief elder of the Oda family. It may seem that Lin Xiuzhen did not make any achievements on the rise of the Oda family, but that was only for the battlefield. Lin Xiuzhen, who is now 58 years old, is now the real leader of the Oda family's internal affairs, and almost any questions about government affairs have to go through his hands before they are transferred to Oda Nobunaga.
Coughing lightly twice, Lin Xiuzhen glanced at everyone and then read it. This scroll is very long, and there are more than 100 names from the Oda family to other important ministers, from Oda Yoshinobu and other important ministers to a certain Ashigaru who has made great contributions.
Fiefdoms, rewards, treasures...... In short, as long as you make a contribution, Oda Nobunaga will not treat you badly, and this is the meaning of the existence of this scroll.
"Kinoshita Hideyoshi, sealed Omi Presenta Castle. Takigawa Kazuyi, sealing Omi Kotani Castle ......" one reward order after another, which made everyone smile, especially Kinoshita Hideyoshi, because he finally had his own territory. Still, there was a surprise.
Yoshinobu Oda...... As usual, there is no reward! When Lin Xiuzhen read the last name, although he endured it for a long time, he couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl. No way, Oda Nobunaga's words are really ...... Too deliberate!
Well, Oda Nobunaga did it on purpose, just look at his smug look. Speaking of which, Oda Nobunaga is 34 years old this year, and Oda Yoshinobu is also 29 years old, but between them, there will always be interactions that seem to only occur between little ghosts, and sometimes ...... Well, at times like this, everyone will just play dead.
Of course, this was just an episode, and when the reward was over, Oda Nobunaga turned to look at Shibata Katsuie and asked, "Katsuya, what's going on over there in Echizen?" ”
"It's going well, whether it's the wealthy clans of the Asakura family who have surrendered or the Yixiang Sect, they are all very calm." Shibata Katsuya said in a deep voice.
"Hmm......" Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga touched the mustache on his chin, and then said, "For the time being, you will concentrate on developing the territory, 1 year!" I hope that in a year's time, Echizen will have only one voice from the family! After saying that, Oda Nobunaga's face suddenly became gloomy, "If those Asakura vassals or Ichijo want to make trouble...... You should know how to do it, right? ”
"Please rest assured!" Shibata Katsuya hurriedly replied when he heard this.
"Changxiu, you are the same, tidy up the collar as soon as possible! At the same time, you are in charge of persuading the Isshiki family of Tango Kingdom. Oda Nobunaga looked at Niwa Nagahide and said again.
"Yes!"
"Yiyi, monkey, you are the same, if those subordinates of the Asai family have any suspicious behavior, I will allow you to deal with it yourself!" Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"In addition, the monkey also has Mitsuhide, and the strategy for Tanba and Harima Country is about to start to be put on the agenda."
"Please rest assured!" Akechi Mitsuhide and Kinoshita Hideyoshi responded at the same time.
After speaking, Oda Yoshinobu turned his head to look at Oda Yoshinobu, and saw that he was looking at him with an unhappy face, and a smug smile appeared on his face again, "Yoshinobu, Kii Province and Shikoku are still handed over to you, I think, you shouldn't delay for a long time, right?" ”
"Tsk, don't worry, it's very easy." Oda Yoshinobu shook his head and replied casually, obviously still very dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga for not rewarding him.
One order after another was issued, and I don't know how long it took before Oda Nobunaga stood up and looked around at everyone, "Then, everyone continue to work hard, the world has been chaotic for too long, and it's time to return to the era of peace!" ”
"Whoa, whoa!"
"Then it's time for the banquet!" Oda Nobunaga said with a chuckle, and then shouted loudly to the little surname at the door, "Hurry up and serve the food!" Tonight, don't get drunk and don't go home! ”
"Oooooo!!oo Oda Nobunaga was responded to by even louder cheers. They've been waiting for this one for a long time. Well, after all, in this era, there is always very little entertainment, and the wine banquet is undoubtedly one of the most popular among the samurai.
Dishes were served, and jars of wine filled everyone's side. Oda Nobunaga kept holding the glass, and after a while, the evaluation room was filled with the sound of laughter and play. Even old ministers like Lin Xiuzhen and Sakuma Nobumori, the smile on their faces has never disappeared.
"Daddy, Grandpa, did you see that? This is the Oda family today! Oda Nobunaga looked at all this, and suddenly sighed in his heart.
