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

In November, Uesugi Sesamitsu, an important retainer, rebelled, and was immediately attacked by Uesugi Kenshin's army, which led him to break through Biwa Island Castle, and the governor of the family, Usami Sesamitsu, committed suicide by seppuku before Uesugi Kenshin's arrival. In the end, the once glorious Usami clan withdrew from the stage of history with the end of being banished.

In this regard, the retainers of the Uesugi family praised Uesugi Kenshin for his kindness, and before Nagao Masakai rebelled, Uesugi Kenshin still did not punish him after defeating him, and he did not even change his fief. Although Nagao Masakai died of illness in the end, it can't be relied on by Kenshin Uesugi, right?

And now, although the Usami clan has been banished, in the eyes of many retainers, if Uesugi Kenshin does not use some ruthless methods, I am afraid that there will be more rebellions in the future. In fact, many retainers suggested that Uesugi Kenshin have the Usami clan all executed in order to shock other dissenting families. However, they were all vetoed by Uesugi Kenshin, who forgave the Usami clan for their sins and announced their exile on the grounds of Usami Jomitsu's many exploits to the Uesugi family.

Well...... It sounds like that, but if you think about it, the people of the Usami clan had all run out before the Uesugi army arrived, although according to the strength of the Uesugi family, if you really want to catch them, it may not be that you can't catch them.

However, this matter is really insignificant to the vast majority of the forces in the world, or rather, they are more concerned about another thing, that is, is once again in turmoil.

Ever since the trio attacked Iimoriyama Castle, the trio and Matsunaga Shu have been in a state of hostility. The two sides fought with the Yamato Nara generation as the center, and both tried to put the other to death.

Although it seems that the two sides are evenly matched, everyone knows that there is only one country, Yamato, and Yamato is still in chaos, and it is only a matter of time before it is defeated.

And after learning that the Oda family had taken Ise, the offensive of the trio became even more ferocious. Coupled with the support of Awaji Zhongyasu and others, it is becoming more and more difficult for Matsunaga to keep it.

Although during this period, Matsunaga Hideya also captured Takaya Castle in Hanoi and achieved a certain advantage, but in the face of the overwhelming superiority of the three people, the fortress was still breached by the three people at the end of November. Matsunaga Shu fled in a hurry with his clansmen, but his life was saved.

However, the Miyoshi trio did not take the opportunity to pursue, but immediately brought out Ashikaga Yoshiei, the prince of Hirashima, and prepared to praise him as the new general of Zhengyi.

However, the Oda family still did not have any reaction to the turmoil in, and Oda Yoshinobu and Amatsu and others continued to study the exam questions.

In his thoughts, the exam is divided into two types: civil and military, and martial arts are naturally martial arts, but this one doesn't need a question, because whether it is Nobutsuna Kamiizumi, Yukihisa Shirakiki, Duanzo Kato, or Chiyonu Mochizuki, they all know how to see this person's talent in martial arts from the roots of children. Hawkers, it's said to be a root bone, but it's actually a hard indicator of strength, speed, height and other hard indicators that children may have when they grow up.

In terms of martial arts, things are simple, but in terms of culture, after studying Oda Yoshinobu and Amatsu for a long time, it was decided to use relatively simple things to assess, that is, memory ability, comprehension ability, and patience.

After all, they are all children under the age of 10, and it is difficult for them to understand something too esoteric, let alone the children of ordinary people. Oda Yoshinobu only understood it a little, and he was completely speechless about the level of illiteracy in this era. According to Ning Ning's survey, more than 90% of the sons of civilians are illiterate.

But fortunately, Oda Yoshinobu is only going to open the most basic courses, so he doesn't have to worry about any inconvenience caused by this situation. Otherwise, Oda Yoshinobu really had to think carefully about how to train civilians.

In December, Hayakawa arrived at the port of Osaka in Isekuni.

"Are you planning to expand here?" Hayakawa thought to himself as he looked at the busy workers in the port.

Speaking of which, there are three ports in Ise: the Port of Kobe, the Port of Toba, and the Port of Osaka today. For a long time, the Port of Kobe has been the largest port in Isekoku, and almost all trade is concentrated here. It's just that with the advent of the war, the entire Ise country was in chaos, so everyone finally started trading in the port of Osaka with the intervention of Ise Jingu.

As for Toba Port, because Shima Province is the territory of pirates all year round, few merchant ships will go there without fear of death.

Hayakawa did not travel by land, but chose to transport by water, after all, taking the road is not only time-consuming, but also very unsafe on the road. Although in order to protect Hayakawa, the Imagawa clan specially sent 2 samurai with strong martial arts to protect him, but even so, it was still too dangerous to pass through a place like Mikawa, an old enemy.

By water, it was different, as the Imagawa family itself had a powerful Suruga naval army, through which Hayakawa could reach Ise Province very easily and safely.

Osaka Castle is not far from Osaka Port, but Hayakawa rested overnight in a dormitory before heading to Osaka Castle the next day.

"Hayakawa?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Chiyo Mochizuki strangely.

"Yes, but it's a pretty beautiful woman~" Chiyo Mochizuki looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a wicked smile and teased, "Isn't it the lord that you are ...... outside?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he immediately said angrily, "If there really is that kind of woman, I will bring it back directly~" Okay, Oda Yoshinobu is really telling the truth.

"Bring her in." Oda Yoshinobu thought for a while and said. Although he suddenly didn't know why Hayakawa suddenly came to find him, but when he thought about it, he didn't seem to have anything to worry about.

Soon, Hayakawa was brought in, and then without waiting for Oda Yoshinobu's orders, Chiyonu Mochizuki gave him an ambiguous look, and then left with the others and Hayakawa's two entourage. Well, although the two of them were not very reluctant, they also understood that if Oda Yoshinobu really wanted something, the two of them would be here for nothing.

It's just that when there were only two people in the room, Oda Yoshinobu and Hayakawa, Oda Yoshinobu didn't know why, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. How so? He and Hayakawa really didn't have any feelings before, and that night seemed to him to be just a one-night stand that you and I wanted. So until now, he hasn't thought about Hayakawa.

After all, she is the true lady of the Imagawa clan, and it is impossible to have any results with Oda Yoshinobu no matter what. But now, people actually took the initiative to come to the door. Hawkers, except for embarrassment, Oda Yoshinobu really doesn't feel anything anymore.

But after thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu decided to take the initiative to ask, after all, this is his own land. And be proactive, you don't have to be so embarrassed.

But fortunately, this embarrassing atmosphere did not last long, and Hayakawa quickly spoke, "The governor of the Imagawa family, Hayakawa, the wife of the Imagawa clan, has seen Oda-sama ......" and said very respectfully.

"No need to be polite, really no need to be polite." Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu hurriedly said, "I don't know what is the important thing for you to come this time?" "It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, I don't know why Oda Yoshinobu always felt weird. So he said again, "Well, let's go, if I can help, just mention it." ”

Well, as soon as these words came out, Oda Yoshinobu wanted to shake his mouth, did he talk like this? Helpless, Oda Yoshinobu could only look at Hayakawa sadly, hoping that she would speak quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will have to look foreign.

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Hayakawa was immediately happy, but she quickly calmed down and said respectfully, "Oda-sama, the little woman is here this time, and I really hope that Oda-sama can do me a favor. I hope that Lord Oda will be able to persuade His Highness Oda to sign a no-war agreement with the Imagawa family. ”

"Huh?!" When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he was stunned. If it weren't for Hayakawa's very normal expression, he would have felt that this woman was playing with her. To be honest, if you pick up anyone from Owari, Mikawa, or Suruga Toe, they can casually talk about the grievances between the Oda family and the Imagawa family.

The two battles of Shodozaka directly made Oda and Imagawa old enemies, and the subsequent barrel sama made it even more difficult to resolve the feud between the two families.

Although the two families have never fought each other since the barrel narrow, that doesn't mean that the hatred between the two families has slowly disappeared. It's just that the Oda family is all focused on Mino and Kamiraku, and the Imagawa family doesn't have the slightest ability to counterattack. If there were, the two families would have fought a long time ago, and in order to gain the support of his family, didn't Matsudaira Ieyasu shout the slogan of avenging Imagawa Yoshimoto? And many of those who left the Imagawa family also used the fact that the Imagawa clan really did not avenge Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Seeing Oda Yoshinobu's expression, Hayakawa understood what he was thinking, but in this regard, she was naturally prepared, "Oda-sama, do you think the Takeda family will do next if the Oda family and the Takeda family join forces to eliminate the Imagawa family?" ”

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu couldn't help but be stunned, he naturally knew about the next move of the Takeda family to eliminate the Imagawa family, but he never thought that the Imagawa family planned to use this matter to persuade the Oda family.

Seeing Oda Yoshinobu's expression, Hayakawa thought that Oda Yoshinobu didn't know, and hurriedly continued, "Oda-sama, Takeda Shingen is a greedy and fierce tiger, he exiled his father in the early years, and now he has imprisoned his eldest son. All this is just to realize his ambitions. Do you think that when the Takeda family takes Suruga, will he move troops against the Oda family? ”

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu also reacted, although he admitted that Hayakawa was very reasonable, in history, after Takeda Shingen took Suruga, he began to make enemies of the Tokugawa family almost instantly, but ...... This is obviously not the reason why Yoshinobu Oda promised Hayakawa.

Even so, what can be done? Although in your mouth, the Takeda family seems to be strong enough to unify the world, but in fact, since he succeeded to the family governor, he has fought countless defeats, and even now, he has not been able to completely unify Shinano. Oda Yoshinobu sneered, "This kind of paper tiger, if you really dare to be the enemy of your own family, then I don't mind letting him see the real power......"

Well, Oda Yoshinobu is definitely not bragging, but the self-confidence that has been generated by his constant victories over the years, the kind of self-confidence that does not take the world seriously.

And hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Hayakawa chuckled and looked at Oda Yoshinobu and smiled, "Then what if the Oda family is the enemy, it's not just the Takeda family?" In this case, how many forces can Oda-sama deal with at the same time? ”

“！！！” Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu looked at Hayakawa in shock, and there was only one thought in his heart, and that was ......

"You're also a traverser, aren't you?"

Well, Oda Yoshinobu admits that Hayakawa was right, in history, the Oda family was very sad to fall into the so-called Oda encirclement network after watching the Takeda family take the Imagawa family. If it weren't for the fact that the forces in the encirclement network did not achieve true coordination and unity, but fought separately most of the time, I am afraid that the Oda family would have been wiped out directly.

Seeing Oda Yoshinobu's expression, Hayakawa understood that Oda Yoshinobu had understood the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly took out the letter from Imagawa Shin from his bosom and said, "Oda-sama, this is a handwritten letter written by the head of the family, please take a look at it." ”

I took it apart and read it quickly. Well, although Imagawa Shima's letter was written quite sincerely, the content of the article still made Oda Yoshinobu have a headache when he saw it.

Putting the letter aside, Oda Yoshinobu looked at Hayakawa and asked in a deep voice, "What you said is indeed reasonable, but the Takeda family is the in-laws of the family after all, if you ignore the legitimate request of the other party, won't the family fall into a dishonest name?" ”

Reputation, in this troubled world, maybe many people don't care much, after all, compared to this boring reputation, obviously the actual interests are more important. But for Oda Yoshinobu, the ethereal thing of credibility is obviously more important.

Because as a force with the goal of dominating the world, if it can keep its word, then in many cases, it will be able to turn the impossible into possible.

After all, a force that has lost its credibility will turn its diplomacy into a disaster. And good diplomacy is absolutely indispensable to dominate the world.

Moreover, Oda Yoshinobu is very clear that Matsudaira Ieyasu has always wanted to attack the Imagawa family. (To be continued.) )
