************** ************** ************** text**************

Hosokawa Fujitaka is not doing well in the general's house, which is naturally very clear to Akechi Mitsuhide, after all, Hosokawa Fujitaka once vaguely complained to Akechi Mitsuhide, and Akechi Mitsuhide also understands very well what a cheating monarch Ashikaga Yoshiaki is. Therefore, although it may not seem good to do this, Akechi Mitsuhide still intentionally or unintentionally mentioned to Oda Nobunaga how rare Hosokawa Fujitaka is.

However, even if Akechi Mitsuhide doesn't mention it, Hosokawa Fujitaka's performance this time is enough to make Oda Nobunaga look at it differently.

With the seal sealed, Kinoshita Hideyoshi presented the edict to Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga took it in his arms, got up and walked out. Seeing this, Hosokawa Fujitaka hurriedly followed. All the way to the gate of the city, Hosokawa Fujitaka gave a salute to Oda Nobunaga and said respectfully, "Your Highness Oda, in recent times, His Royal Highness the General's mood has not been too stable, if there is anything offended, I hope His Royal Highness Oda can forgive ......"

"Hehe, Fujitaka, the general can have a retainer like you, I really envy it......" Oda Nobunaga patted Hosokawa Fujitaka on the shoulder and smiled.

Hawkers, he is naturally not complimenting Hosokawa Fujitaka, you must know that just now, if Kinoshita Hideyoshi really took the seal ribbon from Ashikaga Yoshiaki, then Oda Nobunaga obviously will not return it to Ashikaga Yoshiaki. And the appearance of Hosokawa Fujitaka resolved this crisis, so that Oda Nobunaga could not find a reason to seize the seal. And then, Hosokawa Fujitaka sent Oda Nobunaga away from Nijo Castle all the way, which also made Oda Nobunaga not even have a chance to embarrass Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

It's just that in the face of Oda Nobunaga's obvious words, Hosokawa Fujitaka just said expressionlessly, "His Royal Highness Oda has a good reputation, and the Oda family is full of talents, and compared with all the adults, he is just a general person." ”

"Haha~ Fuji Takamo should be so modest. I know you can't make up your mind just yet, but remember, the doors of your house are always open for you if you want to! Oda Nobunaga said with a smile, and then took the people away.

Looking at the back of Oda Nobunaga leaving, Hosokawa Fujitaka stood on the ground expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hosokawa-sama, I know your loyalty to the shogunate, but the good birds choose trees to perch, His Royal Highness General Ashikaga Yoshiki is indeed worthy of your allegiance, but what about His Royal Highness the General now......" Kinoshita Hideyoshi's faint words came, and when he turned his head to look, Kinoshita Hideyoshi had already left.

"Alas......" Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed, what else could he do but shake his head and smile bitterly? Oh, and he had to return to the Imperial Palace to return the seal to Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Although he was mentally prepared, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's anger was still beyond Hosokawa Fujitaka's imagination. Although there was the obstruction of Wada Yumasa and others, Hosokawa Fujitaka was still bloody, and he was almost cut by the dog scolded by Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Well...... It seems that Ashikaga Yoshiaki is not without any merits......

But no matter how crazy Ashikaga Yoshiaki is, for the Oda family, it is an inconsequential matter. After receiving the edict from the imperial court and the shogunate, Oda Nobunaga immediately sent someone to send it to Oda Yoshinobu.

"Lilu, you immediately ask the Chamber of Commerce to post these all over the world's major castle towns." Oda Yoshinobu handed the edict and the document with the rules and rewards of the world's first martial arts tournament to Lilu, and said in a deep voice.

Hawkers, in fact, this rule is also very simple, that is, there is no rule.

1v1, no limit on identity, age, gender, weapon. Civilians, women, ninjas, or iron cannons can participate. Of course, if someone really came with an iron cannon, it would be a fool not to be a sharpshooter who had absolute confidence in himself.

And the reward, Oda Yoshinobu is very generous, 1000 yuan, plus a famous sword, and by the way, there is also a title of the unparalleled sword saint in the world. By the way, the money and the famous sword were given by Oda Yoshinobu, and the title of the unparalleled sword saint in the world was jointly certified by the imperial court, the shogunate, and the Oda family.

I have to say that this reward is very attractive, 1000 yuan, although it is not a huge amount of money, but if you are a person, it is basically enough for a lifetime. And the famous sword, for all those who practice martial arts, is a dream thing. Ha? With a gun? Hawkers,Those who use guns can also pretend to be forced with a famous knife.,And if the one who uses a gun can really win the championship.,Oda Yoshinobu doesn't mind giving him a famous gun.。

As for this title, it may be something that most martial artists have been pursuing all their lives, Tsukahara Bu Chuan is known as the Sword Saint, but that is just a title given by the people. And now, the joint certification of the imperial shogunate and the overlord, plus the record of defeating all the heroes in front of the world to win the first place.

These three rewards, plus the opportunity to compete with all the powerful warriors in the world, in Oda Yoshinobu's opinion, it is impossible for anyone not to be moved. If you want to do it, then do it best, this is the idea of Oda Yoshi's confidence, after all, according to his previous life, he is Virgo's words.

Kai.

The recent lull does not mean that Shingen Takeda has given up his ambition to take Suruga. Because he knew very well that the Takeda family had no other way to choose than to take Suruga.

"My lord, Uesugi Kenshin has begun to increase his troops in Vietnam. It seems that he should have guessed the hint of his family. Sanada Yutaka said in a low voice.

"Hehe, Uesugi Kenshin is not a fool, if I can't see such an obvious hint, then how can the dragon of Echigo hold on to my Kai tiger for so many years?" Takeda Shingen laughed when he heard this.

"Father, could this be a conspiracy by the Uesugi family? Uesugi Kenshin has always regarded himself as a righteous person, and if he made such an alliance with Hojo and Imagawa, but secretly reached a tacit agreement with his family, wouldn't it be too ......" Katsuyori Takeda, who had changed his surname back to Takeda, asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen shook his head and sneered, "Justice? That's just the fantasy of the ignorant. If Uesugi Kenshin really wants to occupy righteousness in everything, then the Uesugi family will perish soon after he takes over. After Takeda Shingen finished speaking, he turned his head to Takeda Katsuyori and said, "Katsuyori, you have to remember that what is needed in this era is not those boring hypocrisies, but absolute strength!" ”

"The child understands!" Takeda Katsuyori hurriedly bowed to the ground and replied respectfully.

Nodding, Takeda Shingen said again, "Katsuyori, now you are the heir of the family, and I am afraid it will not be a few years before the position of the head of the family is yours." So you have to grow up as soon as possible, otherwise, the day of your family's demise will not be far off......"

"Father!" Hearing this, Takeda Katsuyori looked at Takeda Shingen in a panic, completely unable to understand why his father suddenly said such an unlucky thing.

And Sanada Yutaka on the side also persuaded him, "Don't be so discouraged, although the Oda family is now powerful, things are not without a turnaround." ”

"Haha, now I can only look at His Royal Highness the General Ashikaga Yoshiaki~" Takeda Shingen laughed when he heard this, "I just can't imagine that my dignified Takeda family has a time when I need to rely on the general." Takeda Shingen's laughter was full of unwillingness and helplessness, as the world-famous Kai Tiger, but now he suddenly found that he was tied up and couldn't do anything.

And if you think about it carefully, it seems that the reason why this is the case is because of Takeda Shingen himself. In order to take down Suruga, Takeda Shingen and Oda formed an alliance, and the eldest son of the retainer and the eldest son successively cut the abdomen, and even cleaned up many families who tried to oppose it. But in the end, he got nothing. The Hojo family's swift response and the Matsudaira family's lack of effort, combined with the Imagawa family's unexpected strength, made Takeda Shingen's ambition to invade Suruga fail.

Although now in Musashi Province, the Takeda family has expelled the Hojo family, and the Kanto group of heroes has also been instigated by Takeda Shingen, and the idea of a decisive battle with Hojo has once again arisen. But the strength shown by the Oda family made Takeda Shingen quite disheartened.

Because he found that even if he could win Suruga in the next few years, it seemed to be ...... Nor is it an opponent of the Oda family. Originally, he expected that when Oda Kamiraku was in the middle of the day, it would be a time of rapid development. Quickly take Suruga, then repel Hojo, rapidly develop armaments, and finally find an opportunity to start a war with the Oda family, and finally Joraku dominates the world.

But none of this he imagined happened, Suruga was not taken, and the Oda family was not hindered in any way during their time in Kamiraku. All this made Takeda Shingen confused.

However, Takeda Shingen was the hero of the world after all, and this thought lingered in his mind for a while, and then disappeared. He is the tiger of Jiafei, ready to swallow the world, how can he be directly intimidated without even fighting?

Just as the three of them were constantly discussing the future of the Takeda family, the little surname outside the door suddenly trotted in.

"Your Highness, Lord Nagata asks to see you!"

"Huh? What is he here for? Takeda Shingen looked at the little surname strangely and muttered, but he immediately asked the little surname to invite him in.

Nagata Tokumoto was the imperial physician of the Takeda family from the time of Takeda Shintora, with excellent medical skills and high status. Whether it is Takeda Shintora or Takeda Shingen, and then to the many retainers below, they are all very respectful to Nagata Tokuhona.

But this is also normal, after all, in this era when even colds and flu can easily cause death, an excellent doctor is definitely a hard-to-find talent. Not to mention a doctor like Tokumoto Nagata, who is very skilled.

Soon, Nagata Tokumoto was led by the small surname, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he almost didn't jump up.

"Your Highness Takeda, I want to leave Kai ......," Nagata Tokumoto said respectfully.

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Takeda Shingen calmed down the inexplicable irritability in his heart, looked at Nagata Tokumoto with a pleasant face and asked, "I don't know why the doctor suddenly wants to leave the family, could it be that there is something in the family that neglects the doctor?" ”

Hearing this, Nagata Tokumoto shook his head, "I live very well here, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I can treat civilians in the country at any time, and I have always felt very happy in Xia." ”

"In that case, why are you leaving, Doctor?" Takeda Shingen inquired when he heard this.

If someone else wants to leave with such treatment, then Takeda Shingen definitely doesn't mind giving him a ride with the sword in his hand. But in the face of Nagata Tokumoto, Takeda Shingen really didn't have this idea. Isn't there such a saying that offending no one can offend a doctor, especially a wise doctor, because you don't know when you will need him to save your life.

"Today, I received a letter from my brother, in which I told him that Oda-sama of the Oda family had proposed a plan to establish a complete set of medical education and medical treatment. I watched it below, and I felt very tempted. Your Highness Takeda, you also know that as a physician, your greatest dream is to use what you have learned to save countless patients around the world. In the past, Zaimo knew that he could not achieve this goal on his own, but now, Oda-sama's plan has given Zaita hope...... "Nagata Tokumoto did not hide from Takeda Shingen, but told Takeda Shingen the original content of the letter written to him by Michizo Kojinose of Qu Naase.

"Your senior brother? Oda-sama? Takeda Shingen looked at Nagata Tokumoto in surprise, originally thought that it was because of something that snubbed Nagata Tokumoto, after all, some time ago, Takeda Shingen had been busy with the civil strife at home and the Sun-Etsu Triple Alliance, so it was inevitable that Nagata Tokumoto was a little negligent, but he never thought that someone was going to dig the foot of the wall. Moreover, it is also the surname that Takeda Shingen is most disgusted with now.

"Yes, the senior brother under him is the name of Kyoto, Qu Naase Michizo, who studied medicine with his teacher in the same place, and his medical skills are even higher than those below. And Oda-sama is Lord Oda Yoshinobu, who is known as His Royal Highness Shura. Nagata Tokumoto said, and took out the letter written to him by Michizo Kanase.

Well, it seems that Tokumoto Nagata is a real honest person as a doctor, and he doesn't hide anything? However, there is really nothing else in the correspondence of Michizo Qu Naose. In addition to proposing that Tokumoto Nagata come to Ise to participate in the establishment of Azuchi Medical College, the other thing is to continue to discuss the possibility of the implementation of this plan and the bright future if it succeeds.

Relieved, Takeda Shingen looked at Nagata Tokumoto in silence, and for a while, he didn't know how to open his mouth to retain this doctor he valued very much. Because of everything described in the heart of Qu Naase Daosan, even he, a samurai who had no concept of medicine, felt very moved after seeing it.

One doctor for common diseases in one town, one doctor for serious diseases in one country, and one doctor for rare diseases in several countries. Fixed places, uniform prices, plenty of medicinal materials, and even special people are studying those terminal diseases that cannot be treated. If it can really be achieved, it will definitely be a great blessing for the world.

It's just that...... What does this have to do with Shingen Takeda and the Takeda family? Even if this kind of plan can really be achieved, I don't know how many years it will take to realize it, and then the Takeda family will not know if it still exists!

And most importantly, it is clear from this letter that this plan was made by Yoshinobu Oda. In this way, once the plan is successful...... No! It only takes a slight sign of success for Oda Yoshinobu to be worshiped by all the people of the world. And Oda Yoshinobu's prestige rose, and the Oda family naturally followed suit. When the time comes, why will the Takeda family compete with the Oda family for the world?

It's just that...... didn't agree, but Takeda Shingen couldn't find any reason.

"Your Highness Takeda, I know that this move is very embarrassing for you, and I am actually quite reluctant in my heart. But I hope that Your Highness, for the sake of all the people in the world, and for the sake of the ally of the Oda family, let me leave. Nagata Tokumoto prostrated himself on the ground and pleaded loudly.

Yes, all the people of the world...... The Oda family is an ally...... Takeda Shingen has never felt so helpless, because the Oda family's ally is still brought over by himself, and it is an alliance with him. Now it seems that the benefits have not been reaped at all, but the Oda family has been cheapened.

You must know that because the Takeda family and the Imagawa family turned against each other, the Oda family hardly paid attention to the affairs of the east.

After being silent for a while, Takeda Shingen said in a hoarse voice, "Doctors don't have to be like this, this is a blessing that is beneficial to all the people in the world, how can I interfere more?" Katsuyori, you can give the doctor a ride. In addition, taking out a hundred taels of gold and sending it to the doctor can be regarded as a little heart of the family to all the people in the world. ”

Hearing this, Takeda Katsurai paused for a moment, and after seeing that Takeda Shingen did not have any other signs, he nodded yes.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness, for all the people of the world......" Nagata Tokumoto said respectfully, and then took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Your Highness, you have been diligent in government affairs all year round, and you ...... Although the body is very healthy now, everything needs to be prevented in advance, so I wrote a recipe for replenishing qi and nourishing the body, hoping that His Highness can use it for a long time. ”

"Thank you for your advice!" Takeda Shingen said gratefully when he heard this. Takeda Shingen naturally knew what Nagata Tokumoto didn't say, so he thanked him sincerely.

After Nagata Tokumoto and Takeda Katsuyori left, Takeda Shingen's face suddenly darkened, "Oda Yoshinobu!" Oda family! Why does it always make me feel unhappy?! Shingen Takeda muttered.

Sanada Yutaka on the side was silent when he saw this, because he didn't know what to say to comfort Takeda Shingen. After holding it for a long time, he could only repeat his previous words, "Lord, there will be a chance...... It is said that the shogun has now been placed under house arrest by the Oda family in Nijo Castle. In this way, it only takes one opportunity to make the world's heroes attack the Oda family. At that time, the opportunity for the family will come! ”

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen nodded, "Yes, it's true, but ...... When exactly did Ashikaga Yoshiaki act? ”

"It's better to send ninjas...... No, now that the Oda family has subdued Iga and Koga, there must be a large number ......of ninjas guarding Nijo Castle," Sanada Yukitaka had just made a suggestion, but he denied it.

"Forget it, don't think about it, now that the Oda family is dedicated to governing the territory, naturally there will be no flaws. When he attacks the other forces, I'm sure the general will be more impatient than we are......" Takeda Shingen said, shaking his head.

"Yes......"

Takeda Shingen sent Nagata Tokumoto away unhappily, and on the other hand, before the students of Azuchi Academy left to go to Joshita Town to carry out their mission, Oda Yoshinobu began to ask Amatsu to lead them to recruit the second batch of academies. This time, the number of trainees has been expanded to 100.

This was brought up by Amatsu, and although Oda Yoshinobu felt that there seemed to be too many people, Amatsu thought that it could be taught. After all, what she taught was just the basics, and the advanced things were in charge of the old ministers of the Oda family who had gone into seclusion.

However, Oda Yoshinobu was still worried that Amatsu would be too tired, so more than a dozen people were transferred from the wealthy families in the Ise area who had been completely turned into ordinary village chiefs by Oda Yoshinobu to help. Although their level of fighting and engaging in government affairs is average, at least they know much more than ordinary civilians. Belch...... Is this waste utilization?

In this regard, those wealthy families who already felt that they had no hope of becoming samurai in this life were naturally very excited, after all, although they were only teachers of the academy, at least Oda Yoshinobu used them again. Well, I have to say here that Oda Yoshinobu's original methods were really ruthless, so that none of these wealthy families dared to rebel. Well, the strong strength of the Oda family and Oda Yoshinobu is naturally one of the important reasons.

"Is it only 10,000 taels of gold?" Oda Yoshinobu asked with some disappointment.

"Lord, this is already the limit, after all, the family's annual expenses are very huge, if there is more, the funds in many places will not be able to keep up." Lilu said helplessly.

Well, the Oda family was rich, very rich, but they were also very good at spending money, and the transformation of Omi, the development of various territories, and most importantly, armaments, were all huge expenses that could not be saved. Of course, it is precisely because of this that the Oda family will become stronger and stronger.

"That'...... Sell some savings food! Oda Yoshinobu thought for a moment and said.

"My lord, if it is sold, then in case of a war...... Lilu immediately persuaded when she heard this.

"I didn't say that it was all sold, keep the necessary reserve grain, and there may be half-year rations in the event of a war, and the rest will be sold~" Oda Yoshinobu thought for a while and said, then looked at Lilu's embarrassed look and suddenly smiled, "Okay, I know it's a bit difficult, but it's okay, just do your best, after all, once the Ming Kingdom lifts the sea ban, all this investment can be exchanged for a lot of wealth!" ”

Hearing this, Lilu had no choice but to nod her little head with a bitter face, pouting and leaving bitterly.

Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu thought about it and ran to Gifu Castle. After all, how can you not share this kind of headache with Oda Nobunaga?
