************** ************** ************** text**************
The vast majority of the sons of samurai in this era were very precocious, or their education began very early. However, this is also normal, after all, the average life expectancy is very short, and if you want to achieve more, you must be able to suffer more.
For example, Taro, although he was only 4 years old, had already begun to train as a samurai. But obviously, no matter how precocious they are, they still have no idea about being passed on to other families.
However, Oda Yoshinobu called them over, but it was just a formality, he just didn't want to wait until they grew up to tell them about it.
And to be honest, although he decided to pass the three of them over, Oda Yoshinobu had no intention of sending them over so early. At the very least, he had to study here until he was about 12 years old. The reason for this is that Oda Yoshinobu does not trust those retainers of the Kobe family at all. After all, no matter what, the three of them are his sons, and he can't allow the three of them to end up doing nothing because of external reasons.
After another explanation, Oda Yoshinobu returned to Ise overnight. Although he wanted to rest in Nakono for two days, it was a pity that Ashi and the others did not agree with Oda Yoshinobu's decision. Because in their opinion, now that the Ise country is being attacked, how can Yoshinobu Oda, as the commander-in-chief, stay in the rear?
At the same time, after receiving the letter from the Oda family, the important ministers of the Nagano and Kobe families immediately held a secret meeting. Reason? Obvious. The trick of having to pass on is really useful, and for these families who have lost their bloodline inheritance, the inheritance of the family name is undoubtedly the most important thing.
And in the current situation, it seems that the Oda family has an advantage over the Kitada family. However, compared to the Nagano family, there is still some hesitation, and the Kobe family really doesn't have much choice.
After all, now that Kobe Castle has been surrounded, and the Nagano family has retreated, the Kitada family can't count on it. If it weren't for the fact that Kobe Gumori was the son of Kitada Gukyo, I'm afraid the Kobe family would have surrendered a long time ago. After all, their strength and the Guan family are actually only between the two of them, and the Guan family has surrendered, is it possible for them to win the Oda family?
So, when Oda Yoshinobu returned to the main camp outside Kobe Castle, he learned that the Kobe family had agreed to the succession.
"Hehe, this group of people from the Kobe family can see it very clearly~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a sneer when he heard this.
"They don't really have any other choice, do they?" Li Huamei smiled coquettishly when she heard this.
"Well, then let's pass Taro to the Kobe family." Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said, "Chiyonu, you go and tell them, and let them immediately open the castle and surrender." ”
"Yes!"
After speaking, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly turned his head to look at Guan Shengxin, "Shengxin, I remember that you don't seem to have an heir yet......"
Hearing this, how did Guan Shengxin not know what Oda Yoshinobu meant? Although he didn't want to agree, looking at Oda Yoshinobu's expression, Guan Shengxin understood that it was no longer his turn to make a choice at this time.
"Lord, my subordinate is 41 years old this year, and I have not been able to come out, I heard that your lord has many heirs under your knees......" Guan Shengxin said with a bitter face. Although reluctant, his words also said the fact that he really had no children. Well, or maybe not even children.
This situation made him wonder if he couldn't have a child. So although he was bitter in his heart, Oda Yoshinobu's proposal was not a relief for him? Because as long as Oda Yoshinobu inherits one of his heirs, then the Guan family will no longer have to worry about no one to inherit. And with the strength of Oda Yoshinobu, I am afraid that in the future, the Guan family will establish a glory that has not been established by their ancestors.
"Hehe, then, I'll pass on Saburo to you as an adopted son~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile. Then he turned his head to look at Li Huamei and asked, "Huamei, do you think it's okay?" ”
"It's all up to the Lord!" Li Huamei said respectfully. Since she put forward the proposal of adoption, Li Huamei knew that her child would definitely be adopted. Although I can't bear it, if I think about it carefully, this result is undoubtedly the best choice for Saburo.
After all, if Oda Yoshinobu's heir can only be his eldest son, Jiro, Saburo will not inherit Oda Yoshinobu's family business no matter what. In this way, it is very likely that when he grows up, he will either be sent to become a monk, or he will become the lord of a castle and help Jiro rule the Oda family as an arm.
And once he becomes the governor of the Guan family, then at the very least, in terms of freedom, it must be much stronger than being someone else's direct minister.
"Well, that's it." Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said, "But Saburo is still young, I plan to leave him in Nakono to cultivate for a while, and after his Yuan Suit, how about succeeding him as the family governor?" ”
Well, Oda Yoshinobu said so, what else can Guan Shengxin say? I could only nod and agree.
At night, there was a commotion in Kobe Castle, and soon after, the closed gates slowly opened, and several important ministers of the Kobe family escorted Kobe Gumori, who had been tied up, and walked out cautiously.
"Hehe~ Kobe Gusheng, do you want to die or live?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Kobe Gumori and asked with a sneer.
"The villain wants to live! I want to live ......" Kobe Gumori looked at Oda Yoshinobu in fear and shouted in fear.
Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head, looked at Kobe Gumori with disdain and said, "Then, from today on, my eldest son, Taro, will be your adopted son." After his original service, he inherited the position of governor of the Kobe family. ”
"That little man ......" Kobe Gu Sheng asked cautiously when he heard this. Although he is the son of Kitada Gujiao, he does not have any advantages of Kitada Gujiao. Cowardly, timid, and unassertive, if he didn't have a good background, with his appearance, he would not have been able to become a samurai at all.
"You? You can stay in Kobe Castle and retire. The affairs of the Kobe family will have nothing to do with you in the future. After Oda Yoshinobu finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal that he could get out.
Seeing this, Kobe Gumori hurriedly bowed to Oda Yoshinobu, and then stood up and cautiously retreated.
"Humph! I hate talking about this kind of crap the most!! Oda Yoshinobu looked at Kobe Gu Sheng's distant back and snorted coldly in a low voice.
"Really? But if our enemies were like him, it would be much easier. Li Huamei smiled when she heard this.
"Haha~ In that case, it would be great~" Oda Yoshinobu snorted, and then ordered the army to repair in place, and he took Li Huamei and Ii Naotora into the city to rest.
The news of the surrender of the Kobe family soon reached Annontsu Castle, and at this moment, the retainers of the Nagano family could no longer sit still.
"Looks like it's time for us to make a choice......," Nagano said in a deep voice. He is the younger brother of the former Nagano family governor Nagano Fujita, and he was supposed to be the family governor who was supposed to succeed him after Nagano Fujita's death. Unfortunately, several important ministers at the time were firmly opposed to this matter, which eventually led to Kitada Gukyo successfully passing his son to the Nagano family.
This time, the Nagano family had a choice, but this time, they didn't have a choice. According to the news from Minami Ise, Kitada Gukyo only asked the Nagano family to block the Oda army, but he himself had no intention of sending troops to support. In this case, how could these retainers of the Nagano family not understand that they had been abandoned?
So, when Nagano Fujinaga said this, there was no opposition at all.
On September 20, when Oda Yoshinobu ordered an army of 15,000 men to arrive at Anontsu Castle, he suddenly found that the gates of the castle were wide open. Outside the city gate, several important officials of the Nagano family gathered here, and in front of them, there was a bloody head.
"My lord, that's the head of Nagano Gosuto!" Guan Shengxin said in disbelief. Although he also knew that it would not take long for the Nagano family to submit, he never expected that the other party's speed would be so fast. And he was so ruthless, he directly slaughtered Nagano Guto.
"Uh...... Nagano Guto is dead, so how can it be passed? Oda Yoshinobu looked at the dead man's head painfully, and asked Guan Shengxin helplessly. Succession, you also have to be famous, not just stuff a ghost in the past to be able to inherit someone else's family. And this name is the so-called adopted son of the family governor. Only by allowing the current governor to adopt him as an adopted son can he have the right to inherit.
"This ...... The lord doesn't need to worry, there is one person over there, but Nagano Fujinaga, the younger brother of the former Nagano family governor Nagano Fujita, in the name of his adopted son, and now that the Nagano Fuji family is dead, then he can still inherit the family governor. ”
Seki was right, and when Nagano Fujinaga met with Oda Yoshinobu, he also gave such a reason. It was also officially because of this that he dared to directly kill Nagano Guto.
After reassuring the Nagano family, Oda Yoshinobu settled in Anontsu Castle. At the same time, he sent a ninja army to Minami Ise to investigate the situation of the Kitada family, and at the same time sent someone to report the situation of the battle here to Oda Nobunaga.
Although he took North Ise and Central Ise in less than a month, Oda Yoshinobu was not carried away by the victory. Instead, he became more cautious. Because he knows very well that in many cases, a war is enough to make all the victories won in front of him go down the drain.
