Chapter 625: 100,000 (1)

Ise, Osaka Castle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Oda Yoshinobu sat in the first place, quietly listening to Ning Ning's report on the battle situation on Long Island.

"Hmph, a group of brainwashed madmen would really ......work hard for that group of monks," Oda Yoshinobu said with a cold snort, obviously very dissatisfied with that group of believers who had always been a sect.

But there is no way, since taking Ise, Oda Yoshinobu has been trying to weaken the influence of Ichijo in Ise, but unfortunately the final result is only to confine them to the Nagashima Islands, and it is completely impossible to attract that group of believers.

This result naturally made Oda Yoshinobu very dissatisfied, after all, it was a full 100,000 people, if it could be used by him, how much labor was it! You must know that Oda Yoshinobu is very short of people now.

"Lord, now that our family has driven all the enemy troops into Long Island City, but Long Island City is a rare fortified city, and it has 100,000 fanatical believers, I am afraid it will be difficult to take it in a short time." Ning Ning said respectfully.

"Hmm...... I'll head to Long Island later, and I'll see when the time comes. Oda Yoshinobu nodded and replied casually.

"Yes." After Ning Ning answered, he seemed to remember something and said again, "Lord, some time ago, Suzuki Shigehide and his younger brother Suzuki Shigechao of the Suzuki family came, saying that they had left the Suzuki family and wanted to become the lord's retainers. ”

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu was stunned, but then said directly, "Yes, but in the war with the Ichijo Sect, don't let them go into battle." Well...... I'll see them again when the Battle of Long Island is over. ”

"Yes!"

After Ning Ning left, Oda Yoshinobu did not go to Nagashima immediately, but first went to see Ah Shi and other women.

As soon as the "Brother Overlord Maru ......" met, Aichi threw herself into Oda Yoshinobu's arms and called Oda Yoshinobu softly, she didn't complain about anything, but obviously, Oda Yoshinobu left behind the queen of the palace, which made her worry for a long time. Although the other women did not speak, they also showed more or less worried expressions.

Speaking of which, women such as Serra and Mochou don't have much affection for Oda Yoshinobu, they become Oda Yoshinobu's women more because of various interest entanglements, or simply to save their lives. But clearly, the worries in their eyes are not fake. Having lived here for many years, they knew very well what would happen to them if Yoshinobu Oda were killed in battle.

Maybe a woman with a high status like Ah Shi won't have too many problems, but a woman with a very low status like Mo Chou is a little dangerous. God knows if Li Huamei and others will do anything in order to ensure the continuation and status of the family. After all, strictly speaking, whether it is Mo Chou or Serra, they are just Oda Yoshinobu's female slaves.

"Don't worry, it won't be in the future." Oda Yoshinobu comforted him softly, and after chatting with the girls, he set off for Nagashima.

That night, Oda Yoshinobu arrived at the main camp of the Oda Army outside Nagashima and summoned Li Huamei and others.

"My lord, now that my family has completely captured the enemy's other cities in the Long Island Islands, all the enemies have been driven into Long Island City. According to the idea of his subordinates, as long as they are surrounded for a period of time, it will not take a month, and the Zong will inevitably surrender. Li Huamei said respectfully.

"What Master Li said is extremely true, although Long Island City is a rare fortified city, it is already very difficult for this city to accommodate 100,000 people, let alone prepare food for 100,000 people. And now that our army has cut off the water source of Long Island City, it is impossible for them to last long in the case of water and food. Shigeharu Takenaka also chimed in.

"Hmm......" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Nagashima Castle in front of him, thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's persuade you to surrender first." If they're willing to submit, that's for the best. As he spoke, Oda Yoshinobu directly explained the conditions.

Hawkers,Actually, Oda Yoshinobu's conditions are very simple.,First,The believers of the Ichijo sect in the castle must change their faith after surrendering.,No matter what you believe.,Anyway, you can't believe in the Ichijo sect.。 Second, the followers of the Ichijo sect in the castle were demoted to slavery after submission, and were managed according to the slavery system of Oda Yoshinobu's past.

"Hmm...... That's all. Remember, these two articles must be agreed unconditionally, and there is no room for negotiation! Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" When Li Huamei heard this, she immediately drafted a letter of persuasion. On the side, Shigeharu Takenaka asked again, "My lord, what if they don't agree?" With these words, the atmosphere in this formation instantly became silent.

Well, after Li Huamei drove all the enemy troops into Long Island City, they directly surrounded Long Island City without any attack. Is it really impossible to attack? Apparently not! At this time, the Oda army besieging Nagashima Castle was nearly 40,000 people, and in order to completely suppress Nagashima Itsunamune, Li Huamei pulled out almost all the reserves in Ise.

At the same time, the navy led by Da Zhuhe had a total of 6 large ships and were equipped with 10 artillery pieces. If it really wants to be attacked, Long Island City will not be able to withstand the artillery bombardment at all. With Keiji Maeda and others leading the army to garrison, if the enemy troops in Nagashima Castle dared to rush out, they would immediately be attacked fiercely.

So the question is, why is Li Huamei still besieging but not attacking in this situation? Not even persuaded to surrender! The reason is simple, there are 100,000 people in Long Island City. Yes, there is only one simple reason.

On the surface, if the 100,000 enemies were all rushed out and fought hard, even if Maeda Keiji and the others were unparalleled, and the Oda army far surpassed those believers in terms of equipment and training, but losses were still inevitable. But this is not the real reason why Li Huamei and others did not attack. The real reason is, what to do with these 100,000 people!

Li Huamei and the others have followed Oda Yoshinobu for a long time, and they can easily guess what conditions Oda Yoshinobu will put forward if Nagashima Issunaka wants to surrender, but the question is that if they refuse, what should Li Huamei and them do? Oda Yoshinobu has a famous rule that he never persuades an enemy to surrender twice. As a retainer, naturally he can't take the initiative to break the rules of his own lord.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu was stunned, "Yes, what if they don't agree?" Oda Yoshinobu was immediately entangled. If there were only a thousand people in Long Island City, he could directly order the slaughter of the city without blinking an eye. But...... That's 100,000 people! One hundred thousand! That's a lot.

Oda Yoshinobu was silent, and the others looked at each other and looked at Oda Yoshinobu quietly. None of them dared to disturb Oda Yoshinobu, because they knew that any situation now could affect the life and death of 100,000 people.
