The military harbor of Kishiwada Castle is lined with masts, and hundreds of warships of the Stars Navy and the Kumano Navy are waiting on the edge of several trestle bridges according to different specifications. On one side, there are neatly lined soldiers waiting to board the ship, and on the other side, some strong men are carrying bags and bags of supplies onto the gangplank. Although there was still no rain, the wind was not bad, and several ships that had been loaded and sailed into the main channel were adjusting their sidesails at the shouts of junior officers.

I was standing on the tower of the west gate of Kishiwada, and I happened to be able to see this scene from the open window, and several generals behind me were discussing some details of the transportation process, and Ying and Ah Xue were hiding in the corner of the wall with their backs muttering something quietly. The troops returning from Kai had been repaired for some time, and the remaining 6,000 people were here, except for the 2,000 men who had left for Ishiyama Town with Ke'er Caizang. I'm about to lead them to Kyushu, where the Takenaka Hanbei is already making preliminary preparations.

Due to the leakage of the news, Araki Village rose up seven days earlier, and under the bewitchment of rumors, the number of people and horses instantly swelled to 15,000, and for a time the situation in suddenly changed, and a sword war broke out in the plain.

Oda Nobunaga was already prepared, and ordered Niwa Nagahide, Tsutsui Shunkei, Takigawa Kazuyi and others to suppress the kingdoms respectively, Ikeda Hengxing assisted Oda Nobutada to attack Araki Murashige, and successfully rebelled against Araki's two generals, Takayama Shigetomo and Nakagawa Kiyoji, and he himself led an army of 30,000 troops to Kyoto by land and water, and began to strike at the rebel forces with thunderous means.

Some of my doubts may be superfluous, Oda Nobunaga did not ignore the hidden danger of Matsunaga Xiu, and at the first time he ordered Matsunaga Xiu to lead his men into Beijing to wait for him, leave Yamato, which may become a **** hotbed, and be personally monitored. Under the layers of 30,000 troops, Matsunaga must not be able to conjure up any tricks.

Matsunaga Hideshi honestly took 2,000 people to Kyoto, and the prospect of Arakimura Shige's lone battle was not very optimistic, and he lost two joint battles with Oda Nobutada, and the cobbled rabble quickly reduced to about 8,000, and the battle retreated to the old nest Arioka Castle, and the plan to loot Ishiyama Town was naturally stillborn.

Izumi, which I personally sit, has been very stable, and Kawachi, which has fluctuated slightly, has gradually returned to calm after the defeat of Araki, and the situation in is developing on a positive side, and the only thing worth mentioning is that the Mori family has Yoshikawa Motoharu as the general general, and has commanded 35,000 troops to attack Beichu. This is not my business, and the "monkeys" have already sent troops to meet them, and after receiving the second order from Oda Nobunaga, I am ready to leave for Kyushu.

"Squeeze out the last pus and blood inside this time, and the world will soon be peaceful!" I groaned and looked out the window, a medium-sized ironclad ship full of soldiers had just sailed away at the head of the largest trestle, and my ship, Hinomaru, was slowly approaching, and it was almost time to board. "You all go out first, and the clan stays!" I didn't look back.

The people behind him retreated one by one, and Ah Xue, who was walking at the back, closed the door from the outside, and the room was quiet all of a sudden. Sometimes I don't feel very good, and sometimes I wish someone could question me.

"You said that the lord is he, could it be that he deliberately provoked Araki Murashige?" I said to the window. I didn't hear a sound, but I could sense him standing there.

"This ...... I can't tell! "The Gamo clan didn't give a certain answer, but he obviously didn't have no opinions." It stands to reason that if you simply want to change the Araki family, you shouldn't be so blunt and ostentatious. Faced with such a situation, don't say that it is Araki Murashige, but I am afraid that anyone will be suspicious. However, according to the steps of using troops in battle, the lord does not seem to be completely unprepared. Considering these two aspects, this matter is quite intriguing! ”

"Uh-huh......" I snorted, feeling that the sunlight outside was not so dazzling, and turned around and took a few steps inside, the room on the verge of moving looked a little messy. Then I suddenly wanted to drink, even though I shouldn't be drinking right now.

In the corner of the room was a small two-tiered cabinet, the outside of which had been tied and sealed, and it was a piece of luggage that was ready to be carried with it. I walked over and tore the knots and pulled open the drawers, and inside each of the compartments of different sizes was a jar or bottle of a different material.

"Have a drink with me!" I brought out a small ceramic jar with purple sauce and shook it towards the Gamo clan.

He stood there with obvious hesitation, but at last he did not object, and bent down to find two small diagonal cups from there, and placed them on the table in the middle of the room where the map was still placed.

The wine is the best from the Ming Dynasty, and the name "Fenzhou White" is simple, clear, imagery and appropriate. This wine is soft in the mouth like a thick mist, and then it will slowly lift you into the air like a cloud.

"I feel like I'm in a position of position now, do you agree with me?" The heat in my stomach slowly rose under a glass of wine, but this wine is of the after-energy type, and it doesn't affect my brain yet.

"Your Highness's prestige and status, looking around the nations is also one of the few!" Gamo said after raising his head and taking a drink.

"This is still relatively objective, so I won't say anything polite!" I felt a little emotionally when he said it, and many thrilling scenes over the years seemed to be back in front of me, but this should belong to the heart, and it still has nothing to do with wine. "But to be honest, my sense of self is often misaligned. In the face of my subordinates, subjects, colleagues, and especially the lord, after I kept adjusting my state, sometimes I couldn't tell what kind of person I should be. It's a bit ridiculous to think about it now, so it's better to stay away from places like Kyoto and try to get in touch with some layers as little as possible! ”

"Are you a little too pessimistic?" He smiled at me and said that he looked at me a little like a drunkard. "I don't dare to say anything else, but just the means you have to govern the two major trading ports of Sakaicho and Ishiyama are unmatched by the Oda family. If the lord really removes your factor, then he will inevitably run the risk of major fluctuations. I don't mean that there is a life-and-death antagonism, but that it excludes the scope of economic management. Although you are handing over half of the income from these two operations, you are almost catching up with all of his own operations, and this does not include the donations that are skyrocketing every year. Even after the lord calms down the world, he is afraid that he will not stop there, he can't do without the support of Your Highness! ”

"Maybe you have a point...... "At this time, I faintly heard the noise under the castle tower getting higher and higher, and it seemed that it was my turn to board the ship." If I had only been a practitioner of three or five thousand stones, perhaps the Lord Guild would have been even happier! ”

The Gamo clan opened his mouth and probably wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he slowly closed his mouth again. He knew I was telling the truth, the irrefutable truth.

"By the way, there's one more question!" Although the topic of conversation was not so pleasant, my mood became higher and higher under the influence of the wine. Oh, yes! Anyway, no matter how bad I am now, I can't do it better than I did 20 years ago, right? "If the side and Kyushu have to give up one side, which side will you choose? I'm asking this seriously, not kidding! ”

The three fingers of the Gamo clan pinched the wine glass in front of him with three fingers of his right hand, but the wine glass stood on the table with a reduced brow, and his brows were furrowed tightly, as if there was something "ingredient" added to the glass. I did ask solemnly, and I didn't mean to test him, but it was precisely because of this that he could not speak easily.

"I want to ...... I would choose Kyushu! He answered my question about three minutes later, but I wasn't sure because I hadn't looked at my watch.

"Are you sure?" I asked, staring into his eyes as I watched him.

"I'm sure!" He nodded affirmatively, not avoiding my gaze.

I looked at him, and a smile began to appear on his lips. "That's what I thought, too!" I picked up the refilled glass and poured it down, this time the wine was so much stronger that it felt like velvet was rolling through my throat. "Kyushu is a vast and deep place, and it can also be far away from the fly camp and dog affairs in the center, it is really more suitable for me and the Zhuxing family. It's just that this and Izumi...... And Tanba, I have made great efforts, and if the lord wants to change, at least give me the protection of the three great powers of Kyushu! ”

"Your Highness's appetite is a little smaller, I think it has to be four big countries!" The Gamo clan also laughed, knowing that the serious topic was over.

"Come in!" I stood up and shouted outside, and I stood up as well. At this time, the effect of "Fenzhou Bai" had already begun to be activated, and the intense blood circulation made me enter the best competitive state. "Let's go, let's go and see my four big countries!" I looked back and said it with pride.

The man who had just come in from outside, and began to pack his things in a hurry, and it seemed that someone had already been on the ship when I was drinking. The warbler noticed the open cabinet and the small jar of wine on the table, glanced at me, and began to repack.

"Let me tell you first......" Several voices rang out outside the door at once, as if they were arguing about something, but because of that I didn't hear anything clearly.

"Lord!" Several figures appeared outside the open door, and Ishikawa Sadayu, who was standing first, reported: "Lord Ogawa has 100,000 urgent information to report to the lord!" Although he said that, Ogawa Sunjuro was actually standing behind him.

"Tell me anything!" I'm already short on time and don't have time to schedule a few more programs. Besides, several important staff officers are here anyway, and it is easy to decide what is going on.

"This ......" he visibly hesitated, but the urgency of the matter had made it impossible for him to wait any longer. Lord, the Oda Hall has returned to heaven last night! ”

"The strength of this wine seems to be really not small, and I actually have auditory hallucinations!" After a while, I shook my head in annoyance.
