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

The Suruga generation was so turbulent that even civilians could smell a sense of slaughter, but in Ise Province, everyone's eyes were focused on the academy exams that Oda Yoshinobu had finally promulgated.

For the retainers of the Oda family, this is a great opportunity to bring their next generation closer to the future governor of the family, and for the commoners, it is a great opportunity to rise to the top. For a while, countless civilians poured into the castle town, and hurried back with the test questions handed down.

Speaking of which, Oda Yoshinobu was worried about whether there would be cheating in this kind of exam, but if you think about it, unless that group of people doesn't want to live, how can they dare to cheat?

Just because you pass the exam doesn't mean you can become a member of the academy. In the future, there are still various interviews waiting for you, and that time is the time to really test the child's natural ability. So even if you pass the exam on paper, what's the use of not being able to pass it later? And once it is considered cheating, then the civilian is fine, it is nothing more than continuing to be a civilian. But the words of the samurai...... But it's miserable, and you will be directly demoted to civilians.

Moreover, in order to lead by example, Oda Yoshinobu also announced that his children and Yoshibu would not be among the first batch of academy disciples. This decision silenced many of the retainers who wanted to use their status to ask Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu. However, what happened next made many people gradually understand the meaning of the first disciples.

First, Shibata Katsuie, Hayashi Hidesada, and Sakuma Nobumori Nobumori's own heirs would not take the academy's exams, and then Maeda Toshiie and others, as well as Matsudaira Ieyasu, made similar claims. Now, everyone understands. That was the first batch of academy disciples, who were to find capable ministers for the future governor of the Oda family.

In this way, those who have a high status in their own family naturally do not need to participate. After all, when the older generation vacates their places, they will definitely inherit their own power, and it is impossible for them to be by the side of Wonder Pill.

It's like the Maeda Toshiya and others around Oda Nobunaga at the beginning, they were able to become Oda Nobunaga's playmates because they were not the heirs of the patriarch. But later, for various reasons, they eventually became the patriarch of their own family.

January 1566.

The academy was officially completed in the outer castle of Osaka, and 20 children, including Wonder Maru, met with Oda Nobunaga under the leadership of Amatsu, and began an intense study career.

Well, although there are not as many courses in this era as in previous lives, it is clear that the courses in this era are more important and difficult. After all, these are troubled times, and if you want to get ahead, you don't have so much time to learn slowly.

In fact, in Oda Yoshinobu's planning, the basic course was only a short one-year course. Although this is very unfair to children who are only 4 or 5 years old, and the children of those civilians are even more miserable, but the troubled times are so cruel that if they can't keep up, they can only get out.

However, to Oda Yoshinobu's relief, these children are very hardworking, and even Wonder Maru, who is many ahead of others, does not have any lazy thoughts.

"He's going to be a good governor in the future." Looking at the wonderful pill who was helping the other disciples, Oda Yoshishi thought confidently.

In addition, after the first year of basic class, it is followed by intermediate and advanced classes. In the intermediate class, it was no longer Amatsu who taught it, but retainers such as Kinoshita Hideyoshi. In the advanced class, they were directly abandoned to those who were on a mission, so that Oda Yoshinobu believed that once they graduated, they would be able to perform at least the lowest tasks.

And these people are very likely to become teachers of the academy in the future, and if this virtuous cycle continues, Oda Yoshinobu believes that sooner or later, this academy can supply all the talents for the Oda family.

At the same time, under the leadership of Shou Guini, Uesugi, Hojo, and Imagawa formally reached the Sun-Etsu Alliance, the so-called, only to resist the Takeda family. The news spread, and in an instant the entire Kanto region boiled.

Hawkers, although the alliance of the three families is to fight against the Takeda family, it also has to make many forces in the Kanto region worried. Although the Kanto group has always been very unhappy with the fact that the Uesugi family has become the leader of the alliance they fight, they are secretly all kinds of yin and yang. But I have to say that with the big tree of the Uesugi family, the Kanto group still has a lot of confidence in the face of the Hojo family in many cases.

And now, the Uesugi family and the Hojo family have formed an alliance, doesn't that mean that the Uesugi family has officially withdrawn from the Kanto region? In this way, who else on the Kanto side can resist the offensive of the Hojo family?

However, compared to the Kanto heroes, the reaction of the Takeda family was a little flat. It stands to reason that as the enemies of the three alliances together, the Takeda family should panic about this. But it turns out that after the Takeda family got the news, they still had to do what they should do, and there was no disturbance at all.

Higasaki Pavilion.

"Hehe, although I had expected that the Imagawa family would not sit still, I really didn't expect the Imagawa family to be able to reconcile the Uesugi family and the Hojo family......" Takeda Shingen said with a sneer.

"Yes, I think the Imagawa clan is really young, I'm afraid it won't be him who came forward to facilitate this." Sanada Yutaka said lightly.

"Of course, it must be the face of the old nun of Shou Guini, and only her, Hojo Shiyasu will sell the face of the Imagawa family." Takeda Shingen said in a deep voice. He is still very clear about Shou Guini, after all, it is the famous female daimyo of the Imagawa family in the past. Although she rarely appeared after the rise of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Takeda Shingen did not forget her existence.

"So, my lord, what should we do next?" Sanada Yutaka asked in a deep voice. Just looking at his calm expression, it obviously doesn't look like a bottomless person in his heart.

"Hehe, still according to the plan, the Uesugi family will be handed over to you. I believe that with your intelligence, you will not fail to understand the weaknesses of the Uesugi family. Hearing this, Takeda Shingen smiled and said, "As for the Hojo family, I have already sent someone over. I believe that it won't be long before the Hojo family will be too busy to take care of themselves. ”

Well, with the wisdom of Takeda Shingen, it is naturally impossible not to know the consequences of declaring war on the Imagawa family. Although he didn't expect the Uesugi family to ally with the Hojo family, Takeda Shingen was already ready to start a war with Uesugi, Hojo, and Imagawa at the same time.

It sounds like Takeda Shingen is too arrogant, and although the Imagawa family has declined, the Uesugi family and the Hojo family are just as they say. 1v3？ Does the Takeda family have that strength?

But if you think about it, this kind of thing is not simply added up to reflect the result. Although it is a union of the three families, the only thing that needs to be done for the Takeda family is to block the offensive of the Uesugi family. Because in the face of the joint attack of Oda and Takeda, if the Hojo family did not help the Imagawa family, the Imagawa family would not be able to stop the offensive of the Takeda family at all.

Moreover, Takeda Shingen is not without a way to deal with the Uesugi family and the Hojo family. In fact, before the declaration of war on the Imagawa family, Takeda Shingen had already sent people to Kanto to incite those daimyo who had enmity with the Hojo family. As long as they are willing to send troops, then the Hojo family will definitely not be able to fully support the Imagawa family.

As for the Uesugi family? As mentioned above, Takeda Shingen believes that Sanada Yutaka can handle it, otherwise he would not be able to hand over the Uesugi family to Sanada Yutaka to be in charge.

However, although the situation is tense and it seems that war may break out at any time, a month has passed, and it is still calm. It seems that both the Hojo family and the Uesugi family are waiting for the Takeda family to make the first move.

At the end of the month, the Takeda family finally took the lead, and Takeda Shingen led an army of 5,000 people to kill Suruga. Soon after, Matsudaira Ieyasu followed, commanding an army of 5,000 men into the Enoe.

In response, Hojo Shiyasu immediately sent Hojo Tsunari, the number one general in his family, to support Suruga, and Uesugi Kenshin also began to gather troops and was ready to send troops to Shinano at any time.

At this time, Takeda Shingen's deployment finally worked, and the Echigo wealthy clan Honjo Shiranaga and Daihoji Yoshizen declared independence, forcing Uesugi Kenshin to suspend his offensive against Shinano and prioritize the suppression of the rebellion. In the Kanto region, the Satoma family, who had always thought that they would not lose to the Hojo family, was personally led by the governor of the family, Yoshihiro Satomi, and sent troops to attack Mifunadai Castle in Kamikoku.

For a while, the world shook, and countless eyes were attracted here. At this moment, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was staying in Echizen Province, did not have any mood to pay attention to this matter at all. Because at this time, he heard the worst news for him.

"Is this true?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked in a low voice with a grim expression, and from his tone, he could hear that he was trying to restrain his anger.

"Yes, it was by accident that I learned that the lord did intend to put the Ashikaga heir of the Satani prince to the position of general. The reason why I promised you to the general is just to stabilize your good and reduce obstacles. Akechi Mitsuhide bowed in front of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and whispered.

Well, it seems that it is very unorthodox to say that Akechi Mitsuhide did this. Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki is the heir of the shogun, how can Akechi Mitsuhide say that he is also a retainer of the Asakura family, and he actually did such a betrayal of the master?

It's just that for Akechi Mitsuhide, he has been patient with Asakura Yoshikei for a long time. As mentioned several times before, Akechi Mitsuhide is the one who inherited the ambition of Saito Michizo, and he is indeed worthy of both martial arts. Such a character is regarded as a courtier by Asakura Yoshikei, how can this satisfy Akechi Mitsuhide?

And before and after Ashikaga Yoshiaki came to Echi, his heart began to gradually deviate from Ashikaga Yoshiaki's body. He hoped to realize his ambition by helping Ashikaga Yoshiaki ascend to the position of shogun. But now, he found that this idea was about to be destroyed again, because Asakura Yoshikei had no intention of helping Ashikaga Yoshiaki Kamiro at all.

In particular, the reason why Ashikaga Yoshiaki came to Echizen was recommended by Akechi Mitsuhide, and Asakura Yoshikage's actions did he place Akechi Mitsuhide's credibility? Looking at Ashikaga Yoshiaki's dissatisfied expression when he looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, it was obvious that his dissatisfaction with Asakura Yoshikei implicated Akechi Mitsuhide.

Seeing this, Hosokawa Fujitaka on the side hurriedly said, "Your Highness, since this is the case, why don't you send someone to ask the Oda family for help?" ”

Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki suddenly became entangled, he really didn't want to go to the country dumplings like the Oda family. In his opinion, it was a rather identityless thing, and even if he went to Luo with the help of the Oda family, it couldn't bring out his majesty as a general at all. And the relationship between the Oda family and Ashikaga Yoshiki also made Ashikaga Yoshiaki very reluctant to use the power of the Oda family. That would make him look like he was just stained with Ashikaga Yoshiteru's light. But now, it seems that there is no better choice than the Oda family.

After all, if you can't really become a general, then everything is just empty talk.

Seeing this, Akechi Mitsuhide knew that this might be his last chance to perform, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Your Highness is willing to go to Mino and help Your Highness convince Oda-sama." ”

"You? All right? Ashikaga Yoshiaki squinted at Akechi Mitsuhide, obviously because of Asakura Yoshikei's matter, he no longer trusted Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Your Highness, when I was at the Saito family in the past, I already met with Oda-sama. And strictly speaking, I'm still a relative of Lord Oda......" Akechi Mitsuhide said quickly.

Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought for a while and said, "In that case, I'll give you another chance, this time, don't let me down again......" Ashikaga Yoshiaki said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Immediately, Ashikaga Yoshiaki hurriedly wrote a letter to Oda Nobunaga, but when the payment was made, Ashikaga Yoshiaki hesitated for a moment, looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka and others and said loudly, "I decided to change my name to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Yoshiaki's name is really bad!" ”

Hawkers, although Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't say what was wrong with Yoshiaki's name, but in the eyes of everyone, Ashikaga Yoshiaki just wanted to change his luck by changing his name. And looking at Ashikaga Yoshiaki's appearance, it seems that he doesn't intend to ask for their consent, so he just keeps his mouth shut.

The next day, Akechi Mitsuhide met Asakura Yoshikage and said that he was going to Kyoto. In this regard, Asakura Yoshikei did not object, after all, to him, Akechi Mitsuhide was just a retainer who only needed to appear on occasions such as tea parties.

And for Asakura Yoshikei doing this, Akechi Mitsuhide hated it even more in his heart, because from his tone, Akechi Mitsuhide could easily hear that he didn't pay the slightest attention to himself.

"Lord, it's you who didn't reuse me first, but it's no wonder that I secretly communicated with the general's family." Akechi Mitsuhide thought secretly in his heart. (To be continued.) )
