Oda Yoshinobu looked at Maeda Keiji quietly, to be honest, after giving the order, Maeda Keiji suddenly jumped out, Oda Yoshinobu said that he didn't feel it in his heart, it was definitely a lie. However, he didn't think as much as Li Huamei, just because for so many years, no one had ever opposed his decision, and this situation naturally gave him a feeling that his orders were the truth.
Speaking of which, in the Oda family, Oda Yoshinobu can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, except for Oda Nobunaga, no one dares to sit on an equal footing with Oda Yoshinobu. Although the pen of the Oda family is nominally Lin Xiuzhen, if Lin Xiuzhen puts forward any ideas and is refuted by Oda Yoshinobu, Lin Xiuzhen will definitely not be angry, but humbly listens to Oda Yoshinobu's opinion.
And what ideas Oda Yoshinobu proposed, basically everyone was silent, waiting for Oda Nobunaga to speak, and everyone would speak. At the same time, no one has ever asked about any reward for Oda Yoshinobu, just like the previous title of Oda Yoshinobu as the lord of the country, no matter how unreasonable it is, it still works if it is left on Oda Yoshinobu.
In fact, if Oda Yoshinobu's reward over the years was given to any retainer of the Oda family, the people below would be sure to make a fuss. And the reason for this is because all of Oda Yoshinobu's exploits were obtained on the battlefield. Is there anything more dazzling for a samurai than his exploits on the battlefield?
Therefore, any sentence of Oda Yoshinobu, even if it is just casually said, even Oda Nobunaga will think about it in his heart. Although no one in the Oda family has put forward such a statement as a meritorious master, the Oda family can have today's prestige, and Oda Yoshinobu can undoubtedly occupy more than four layers of credit.
It is said that absolute power can corrupt people, and although Oda Yoshinobu does not have absolute power now, it can also be said that the power of life and death is in his hands. It's like those wealthy families in Ise Province, Oda Yoshinobu kills whenever he wants, stays if he wants, and moves wherever he wants. From beginning to end, Oda Nobunaga didn't even ask.
However, despite these rights, Oda Yoshinobu did not lose his heart and became arrogant and reckless. The reason for this is not that Oda Yoshinobu is so wise and powerful, but that in his own opinion, he has not achieved any great achievements at all.
Li Shimin, a classmate in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly, history as a mirror can know the rise and fall, and people as a mirror can know the gains and losses." Although Oda Yoshinobu didn't like Li Shimin very much, and even didn't think much of it, Oda Yoshinobu's thoughts today are very much in line with the idea of this sentence.
Is Yoshinobu Oda successful today? If you look at it according to the ideas of this era, it will naturally be successful. The adopted son of a ninja, but now he is still the number two person of the Oda family who is about to succeed in Shangluo, sitting on the country of Ise, and he has all the wives and concubines of the good day. As a retainer, he was favored by the lord Oda Yoshinobu, and as the lord, he received the adoration of his subordinates.
If this kind of person is not successful, then I am afraid that there will be few successful people in the entire Warring States Period.
It's just that in the eyes of Oda Yoshinobu, he is not a success at all, and he is even a long way from the road to success. The reason for this is simple, he is a traverser! And it is a time-traveler who knows this history.
Because he knows history, Oda Yoshinobu knows very well that although because of his appearance, the Oda family is much stronger than in history, but it has not jumped out of the category of history, because in history, the Oda family also defeated enemies one by one, and finally succeeded in Shangluo.
Without Oda Yoshinobu, the Oda family still came to this point, and with him, this step was only a few years earlier. Thinking about it this way, is Yoshinobu Oda a success? And as the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast. Kinoshita Hideyoshi went from being a commoner to eventually becoming the ruler of the world, which was 10,000 times more difficult than what Oda Yoshinobu is doing today. And you must know that Kinoshita Hideyoshi does not have such a perverted golden finger as Oda Yoshinobu.
And since knowing the existence of Lilu, Oda Yoshinobu's vision has jumped from Japan to the whole world. Japan? What's that? Thinking about it this way, how could Oda Yoshinobu feel how awesome he was?
Therefore, the dissatisfaction born because of Maeda Keiji's sudden jump out quickly disappeared from Oda Yoshinobu's mind. Obviously, though, the others didn't think so, so their eyes were all focused on Keiji Maeda, hoping that he wouldn't say anything that would make Oda Yoshinobu angry.
Especially those Yamato wealthy families who have just surrendered, they are naturally not worried about Maeda Keiji, after all, they are not familiar with Maeda Keiji, and whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with them at all. What they were worried about was whether Oda Yoshinobu would implicate them out of anger, as they had seen many of them. Because the retainers are highly respected and difficult to start, they can only pick a few unimportant guys to be angry.
Although they were vassals, looking at the fate of the Iwasaka family, it was easy to know that they did not have the slightest place in Oda Yoshinobu's heart.
Just when the atmosphere was so solemn that everyone was almost suffocated, Keiji Maeda spoke, "Why are you all so serious? Have you had a bad stomach before? Keiji Maeda asked as he looked at everyone with a puzzled expression. In an instant, the solemn atmosphere was swept away.
Then, I heard Keiji Maeda say with a serious face, "My lord, since the establishment of the ninja army, there has been a shortage of people, and my subordinates think that those children can be cultivated by two adults, Mochizuki and Kato." With their ability, I believe that they will not have to worry about revenge on their family in the future, and at the same time, they can also increase the number of ninja troops. The mere killing of the men of the Iwasaka clan, the women as military prostitutes, and the burning of Ohio Castle were enough to shock the many wealthy clans of Yamato. And...... The child is innocent. ”
Well, as soon as I said it, everyone who was familiar with Keiji Maeda was impressed by it. All along, although Maeda Keiji is not a stupid person in their hearts, he is also classified as brave and unscrupulous. But now, look at his words, and cut out the last sentence from beginning to end, it seems that he is completely thinking about Oda Yoshinobu. Although the last sentence completely exposed his inner thoughts, with the foreshadowing ahead, at least it didn't sound so harsh.
Hearing this, Li Huamei and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although Maeda Keiji still said what he wanted to say, but at least, his way was acceptable. But before Li Huamei and the others could help persuade them, Oda Yoshinobu spoke.
"Well, that seems to make sense." Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu nodded in response, thought about it and turned his head to look at Kato Duanzo, "What do you two think?" ”
"My lord, if they are under the age of 5, their subordinates can guarantee that they will never remember what happened before, so my subordinates also agree with Maeda-sama's proposal." Kato Duanzo said in a low voice.
And Chiyo Mochizuki on the side also echoed, and at the same time put forward her own suggestion, "Lord, my subordinates think that it is a bit of a waste to treat those women as military prostitutes, why don't you hand them all over to your subordinates?" ”
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu had some enlightenment, "Intelligence? ”
"Not bad!" Chiyo Mochizuki nodded.
"Can loyalty be guaranteed?"
"Please rest assured, only those who are considered qualified by subordinates will be sent out to collect intelligence." Chiyo Mochizuki said in a deep voice.
Well, the qualified ones are sent out, and what about the unqualified ones? Although Chiyo Mochizuki didn't say it, obviously, those unqualified women couldn't have a good end. However, there is no question about this, even Li Huamei and other women, who are also women. Because they all know that this troubled world is so cruel. Giving the enemy a chance to survive is already the greatest mercy.
The fire slowly engulfed Ohio Castle, and outside the castle, dozens of women and children were brought back to Ise Province amid cries and screams. Perhaps, their future will be dark, but in this troubled world, those who survive are happy. Perhaps......
Oda Yoshinobu did not stop him on his side, and Honda Tadakatsu and Sakakiwara Yasumasa on that side did not encounter too much trouble. After all, after experiencing the fierce battle between Matsunaga Shu and Miyoshi, the Yamato Kingdom was already weak, and even many wealthy clans had been looking forward to the arrival of the Oda army for a long time.
On April 10, a total of 90,000 troops from the combined forces of Oda and Asai attacked Misaku Castle, the bridgehead of the Rokkaku family. Although Kesaku Castle was one of the most fortified castles in Omi, Rokkaku Yoshiharu and his son urgently strengthened it, and at the same time sent a small number of retainers in his family who were loyal to him, Yasuta Aida, to defend it. But in the face of the enemy's terrifying army, before the battle began, the defenders of Misaku Castle had lost the courage to fight.
No matter how much Yasuta Aida inspires, morale still can't be boosted. In the end, in the face of the onslaught of the Oda family, in just half an hour, Misaku Castle was captured.
"Haha! This battle really opened the eyes of the younger brothers! If the hexagonal father and son learned about the battle situation here, I wonder if they would be scared and fainted? Asai Nagamasa laughed.
"Hehe, I don't know if he fainted, but I know that there is no opponent in front of us!" Oda Nobunaga heard Asai Nagamasa's words and smiled proudly. Well, Oda Yoshinobu once mentioned such a sentence to Oda Nobunaga before, and Oda Nobunaga felt that it was very domineering and very pleasant to the ear, so he didn't hesitate to use it.
"We are ahead, there is no invincible opponent......" Asai Nagamasa heard this, looking into the distance and muttering. The artistic conception of this sentence completely fascinated the young family governor who had always hoped to revive the glory of the Asai family.
On the 11th, in the face of the Oda army's terrifying offensive and huge forces, the retainers of the Rokkaku family chose to surrender one after another. Since the Rokkaku Joyori era, the Rokkaku family, which has been fighting against the overlord Hosokawa and Miyoshi, seems to be on the verge of extinction.
Kannonji Castle.
"What?! It's true?! Rokkaku Yoshiji looked at the ninja in front of him and questioned in horror.
"It's true!" The ninja whispered.
"Father, what now?!" Hearing this, Rokkaku Yoshiji didn't care that the ninja hadn't left yet, and directly asked Rokkaku Chengzhen anxiously.
But what can Hexagonal Chengzhen do? In fact, everything he can have done has already been done. Asked for help from the Miyoshi family, mobilized the troops in the territory, and strengthened the city defenses in various places, especially this Guanyin Temple City, but 20,000 troops have been gathered. It can be said that at the beginning, Rokkaku Chengzhen still had some confidence in his heart, but when he saw the Oda Army attacking like a bamboo, his confidence disappeared in an instant.
"Alas...... I knew that the Oda family was so powerful, so I just gave way. Hexagonal Chengzhen muttered to himself. If they give way, then the Roxagonal family will not only not face the current predicament, but will also become one of the heroes who support the general Shangluo. Rokkaku believed that with the fame of the Rokkaku family, it was absolutely impossible for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to ignore their existence.
But now, it seems that everything is late. Faced with the army of the Oda family and the betrayal of many retainers, Rokkaku Chengzhen has completely lost the confidence and courage to fight a decisive battle.
"Do you want to run away?" Thinking of this, Hexagonal Chengzhen suddenly came to his senses, "That's right! The family can lead the army to evacuate to the Miyoshi family. Even if they don't want to save us, as long as we lead our army over, will they still go to war with us when Oda's army is overwhelmed? At that time, even if they don't want to fight against the Oda family with the main family, they will have no choice! ”
Hearing this, Rokkaku Yoshiji suddenly shouted in surprise, "Not bad! I'll order someone to call Dingxiu and them over. ”
At this moment, a faint voice appeared in the room.
"Useless ......"
As he spoke, a middle-aged man appeared in the room, and his appearance was so natural, as if he was standing there. He is the leader of the Koga ninjas under the command of the Rokkaku family, Mitsutoshi Dorao.
"Guangjun? Could it be that Gamo Dingxiu also ......" Rokkaku Seungzhen looked at Tarao Mitsutoshi suspiciously, and then reacted suddenly, exclaiming in a low voice.
"Yes, Gamo Dingxiu and they have decided to rebel, and according to the information obtained by their subordinates, when the Oda army arrives, they will capture your lord and give it to Oda Nobunaga as a gift." Mitsutoshi Dorao said in a deep voice. "This time, my subordinates came to receive information to answer the lord."
"Alas......" Hexagonal Chengzhen heard this, and his face suddenly seemed to be ashes, he understood, the Hexagonal family, it's over......
