Chapter 120: The Treasures of Ashikaga Yoshiteru
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was defeated, and the defeat was without suspense, and from the beginning to the end, Yamada Nobumura defeated Ashikaga Yoshiteru without even moving his feet. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Ashikaga Yoshiki's last move that seemed extremely powerful still did not shake Yamada Nobumura, which made Oda Nobunaga and others who were watching couldn't help but feel that Ashikaga Yoshiki was like a mayfly shaking a tree, but he was just doing useless work.
Ashikaga Yoshiki knelt on the ground weakly, the wooden knife in his hand had already turned into pieces, and he knew what kind of blow he had received to make a wooden knife like this.
Hosokawa Fujitaka and the others hurriedly tried to comfort them in order to go over, and Oda Nobunaga also walked to Yamada Nobumura's side helplessly and blamed, "You kid don't know how to let you?" ”
"I'll let it!" Yamada Nobumura's face was innocent, in his mind, if he didn't deliberately let it, Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't stop him from three moves at all.
"Your name is Jean too? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are releasing water! You should look for an opportunity to counterattack twice, how can it be better than you have been defending? Oda Nobunaga looked like he hated iron but not steel.
"Attack a fart, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop it! It's too weak......" Nobumura Yamada explained with a pout.
"Then you can also counterattack a little bit, and then you can continue to defend ......"
"I fought back...... I must have fought back......" Yamada Nobumura was helpless.
Just as Oda Nobunaga and Yamada Nobumura were arguing about what to do, Niwa Nagahide on the side coughed lightly twice and reminded. Suddenly, the two teasers turned around with a solemn look, and Oda Nobunaga whispered to Ashikaga Yoshiteru who came over slowly, "Your Royal Highness the General, this retainer is young and ignorant, and he collided with His Highness, and I hope Your Highness will not blame." ”
Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's expression suddenly became strange, and he looked at Oda Nobunaga in a daze, and sighed helplessly after half a sound, "Oda-sama, is it true that in your heart, I am such a person who can't afford to lose?" ”
"This ...... Don't dare. Oda Nobunaga hurriedly said when he heard this. Even if you think so in your heart, you can't say it on your lips. After all, he is a general.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ashikaga Yoshiteru waved his hand, then ignored Oda Nobunaga and walked directly to Yamada Nobumura.
"Yamada-sama is really powerful, and he was able to push me to this point without exerting all his strength." Ashikaga Yoshiki said cheerfully. He didn't show any dissatisfaction at all because he was defeated.
"His Royal Highness the General's martial arts are also rare in this world, especially the move just now......" Seeing this, Yamada Nobumura naturally will not be stingy with his own sycophants, especially as a victor, when he goes to shoot the loser's sycophant, he will always have a very superior heart. After all, the stronger the loser, the stronger he will naturally be.
"Haha~ That move is called the revival of the shogunate. I realized it from His Highness Tsukahara's Ichinotai Sword. Alas, but still I haven't practiced it......" Ashikaga Yoshiki sighed.
"Your Highness Ashikaga, have you really not practiced this move? How strong is that one-no-tai sword? Hearing this, Yamada Nobumura was immediately curious.
In this era, there are two moves that represent the pinnacle of swordsmanship, one is Tsukahara Buden's [Ichino Tai Sword], and the other is Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's [Mutoto]. However, in later records, neither of these techniques has actually been handed down.
Hawkers, there is a saying that [no knife take] is empty-handed into the white blade, but in the eyes of Yamada Nobumura, that is absolutely nonsense. The art of snatching swords with empty hands appeared very early in the era of cold weapons, and it was basically a technique that every samurai had to learn. Of course, what they learned was basically different, but the goal was the same, which was to seize the enemy's weapons.
"Ichino Tai Knife...... It really can be called a fantasy sword. According to His Royal Highness Tsukahara, although this trick was taught to many people, only Kamiizumi-sama and Kitada-sama learned it. Ashikaga Yoshiteru's tone was full of regret.
"I believe that Your Highness the General, you will learn sooner or later." Hearing this, Yamada Nobumura didn't know what to say, so he could only persuade him. At the same time, I had the idea of seeing Tsukahara Bubiography.
The two chatted for a while, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru proposed that Oda Nobunaga and others stay for dinner. Hawkers, this is something that ordinary people can't ask for, and Oda Nobunaga naturally won't refuse to agree. Only Yamada Nobumura was a little reluctant, because he always felt that Ashikaga Yoshiteru looked at him strangely.
Although you are a shogun's family, with the current power of the Ashikaga shogunate, this meal is obviously not much better, at least Yamada Nobumura is quite unaccustomed to it. No way, for him, who has good wine, meat and fish at every meal, how can he eat this kind of poor meal such as small salted fish, dried radish, and chazuke?
"Haha~ Lord Yamada, I'll give you a drink." Ashikaga Yoshiki raised his glass and laughed, "I received the guidance of His Highness Tsukahara in Xia, and last year I received the guidance of His Highness Izumi, so that I always thought that I had achieved great success in swordsmanship." I didn't expect to know today that the strong have their own strong players......"
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the General is polite...... Yamada Nobumura said with a smile.
"I wonder if Yamada-sama would like to serve as the family's art of war instructor?" Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked expectantly.
The instructor of the art of war does not belong to a retainer, but a position similar to that of a teacher. It is not the Art of War or anything like Sun Tzu that teaches it, but the method of using weapons. For the most part, it mainly refers to swordsmanship. Generally speaking, the status of the guidance of the art of war is very high.
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga was immediately dumbfounded, he never imagined that Ashikaga Yoshiteru would come to such a hand. Although he believed that Yamada Nobumura would not stay in Kyoto, he was worried that Ashikaga Yoshiki would be furious if he was rejected. After all, he was abused first, and then he was rejected, so what do you think, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's mood won't be good, right?
Sure enough, hearing Ashikaga Yoshiteru's words, Yamada Nobumura refused directly without thinking about it, "I'm sorry, I don't have the idea of changing my career in Xia, and my family is now in the most important stage, and I have no intention of leaving." ”
Well, quite a stiff refusal, Oda Nobunaga looked at Yamada Nobumura helplessly, and then looked at Ashikaga Yoshiteru a little nervously.
However, Oda Nobunaga still underestimated Ashikaga Yoshiteru's heart, and he did not show anger after Yamada Nobumura refused. just said to himself with a regretful face, "Was it really rejected?" That expression, as if a ** silk who pursued the goddess and was rejected in the end, was loveless.
It's just that apparently, Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn't have much hope about wooing Yamada Nobumura, so he quickly recovered and began to talk freely with Oda Nobunaga. And Oda Nobunaga was worried about Ashikaga Yoshiteru's settlement of accounts after the autumn, so he naturally echoed it in various ways. A meal, eat that is called a harmony.
"By the way, if you're not in a hurry to return to Owari, why don't you visit the treasures below?" After the meal, Ashikaga Yoshiteru proposed with an expectant face. What do you say about that expression? It's like a child who gets a baby and really wants to see expressions of envy in other people's eyes.
To be honest, both Oda Nobunaga and Yamada Nobumura are very interested in the treasures that Ashikaga Yoshiteru said. So the two looked at each other and agreed without much thought.
How much does Ashikaga Yoshiteru have in his collection? In the opinion of Yamada Nobumura and others, it should not be too much. After all, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, including his father, Ashikaga Yoshiji, has always been in a constant wandering life. Even if it is because of the dignity of the status, it is impossible to carry a large number of family treasures around every day.
Therefore, in the conjecture of Yamada Nobumura and others, Ashikaga Yoshiki now has a maximum of a dozen family treasures, but they must all be first-class treasures. After all, no matter who is running away, if they want to take the family treasure with them, they will definitely choose the most expensive one.
It's just that when they actually see those family treasures...... I was stunned. Rows of knives and guns are placed in one place, and from the eyes of Yamada Nobumura, it can be easily seen that these are all famous swords and guns that have not been born in the world. And Oda Nobunaga's eyes fell on the bodies of those tea vessels, and the simple shapes and wonderful patterns firmly attracted his attention.
"Hey, how's it going? Not bad, right? These are the treasures of the family over the years. In order to keep these things, it has taken a lot of effort for generations. Ashikaga Yoshiteru smirked.
At this time, where does he still look like a general? It's just a little ghost showing off. It didn't matter, though, because there were just three of them. After all, everything here is too precious, and it is impossible to let too many people in. And to be honest, if he could, Ashikaga Yoshiteru completely just wanted Yamada Nobumura to come in alone.
"That's good......" Nobumura Yamada nodded as he kept checking the knives and guns. Over there, Oda Nobunaga wandered among the tea sets. He could see that Ashikaga Yoshiteru had a good impression of Yamada Nobumura, so he was also happy. Although he was a little worried about Yamada Nobumura's big mouth, for the time being, it seemed that Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn't care about it.
Under the explanation of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Yamada Nobumura constantly visited these knives and guns. Indeed, they are all first-class famous instruments. However, he didn't have any ideas, because for him, if he couldn't have the same level as Yagi, he wouldn't be able to get his thoughts at all. Is there an existence that can be at the same level as Yagi?
Well, there is! The eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade and the Eight Mirror are of the same level, but those things are not weapons. Speaking of which, Yamada Nobumura still has thoughts about them, after all, he hasn't forgotten the strange situation he encountered when he got Yagi in the first place. So he wanted to know if the other two legendary artifacts would also be so magical.
Just thinking about it, Yamada Nobumura's heart suddenly moved, and his eyes unconsciously looked at a strange weapon. It's weird because this weapon shouldn't exist in this country. Because, it's a halberd......
A combination of a halberd, a Ge and a spear, with both straight and horizontal blades. Compared with the knife, the halberd is more flexible, and compared with the gun, the halberd is more domineering. Historically, however, halberds have not had the same widespread use as guns and knives. The reason is simply because it's so hard to use.
Although having guns and knives is not as comprehensive as it is, the corresponding requirements for users have become higher. In history, the most famous halberd bearers are probably Lu Bu and Xue Rengui. And it is said that the overlord Xiang Yu also seems to use a halberd, but who knows specifically? Even Guan Yu's weapon can be changed from the Qinglong Glaive to a spear, which proves that history is originally a thing with infinite possibilities.
However, in any case, it is impossible for such a weapon to exist in Japan. It's not that Yamada Nobumura looked down on the samurai of Japan, but in his understanding, the long weapons of this era were very simple, knives and guns, and there was no third type. Well...... If you don't count the sticks.
"Hehe, haven't you seen it? Tell you, this weapon is called a halberd, even in the Ming Kingdom, there are not many masters who can use it. Ashikaga Yoshiki said with a smirk, as if he was very proud to see Yamada Nobumura's surprised expression. Well, is this kid really a general? What about the majesty just now?
Seeing that Yamada Nobumura ignored himself, Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn't care, in fact, anyone who saw this weapon for the first time would have this expression, whether it was himself or Tsukahara Buden.
Not only because of the simple shape of this halberd, but also because of its shimmering blade, carved with the inscription of the dragon......
"I don't know the name of this halberd, but I got it from a Nanban merchant. Sharpening iron like clay, it is indeed a divine weapon, but it's a pity......" Ashikaga Yoshiteru said at the end, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Huh? Regret what? Yamada Nobumura asked suspiciously.
"This weapon is too heavy, 150 catties in weight, although it's not that I can't wield it, but even if it's me, I can't swing it a few times and I don't have the strength." Ashikaga Yoshiki said helplessly.
This weapon is an absolute god level from the shape to the sharpness, although Ashikaga Yoshiki delves into kendo, but he is an ambitious general after all, and he has fought a lot of wars with Miyoshi over the years. If he had this halberd, although he wouldn't be able to use it, it would be better than ordinary knives and guns. It's a pity, even with his strength, he can't swing it with all his strength two or three times.
"Really?" When Yamada Nobumura heard this, he immediately became interested. Walked over to the halberd and lifted it up. Then he walked to a relatively open place and played carefully.
"Huh?! How can it be?! Ashikaga Yoshiteru looked at Yamada Nobumura in shock. Although because of the problem of space, Yamada Nobumura did not play any big opening and closing, but even so, in his eyes, the halberd that was impossible to fight at all seemed to be nothing in Yamada Nobumura's hand.
"Good weapon!" After playing for a while, Yamada Nobumura praised in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's eyes flickered, and then he said, "Since you like it, Yamada-sama, I'll give it to you." ”
