With the help of Nobuyasu Atakaku, it seemed logical to pacify Awaji Province, because even those forces infiltrated by the trio did not seem to have any reason to continue to be enemies of the Oda family. www.biquge.info After all, the three of them are dead, and the nearly 20,000 troops assembled by the Miyoshi family are also dead.

It can be said that even if they want to resist, they don't have any ability to resist, and the simplest point is that except for Zhou Ben City, the troops in other cities are only more than 100 people at most. With this little force, how could it be possible to block the attack of the Oda family? Not to mention that most of the samurai in the Miyoshi family were either killed by the Maeda Toshiya and others, or fled in all directions, or they had already subdued the Oda family.

Therefore, the Takenaka Shigeji Department was very relieved to begin to integrate the remaining resources of Awaji, and at the same time reorganize the ships of the original Awaji Navy and the navy of the original Takenaka Shigeji Department. It's just that, in this case, the unexpected happened.

"Atakaku-sama was killed?" Shigeharu Takenaka asked calmly. Looking at his expression, it didn't seem surprising at all. And the Gamo clan and the others below looked at Shigeharu Takenaka with a brush, knowing that when Tarao Mitsutoshi left before, they were all present to say.

"Yes, Lord Ataka was killed by Suga Motoshige when he went to Shichi Castle to persuade the governor of the Suga family, and then Suga Motoshige himself was seppuku with money." Mitsutoshi Dorao said in a deep voice, "Sugamoto Shigeno is an important minister used by the trio to contain Ataka Nobuyasu in Awaji Province. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes on Shigeharu Takenaka suddenly changed, especially the Suzuki brothers, Saeki Yuumi, Ito Keihisa and other newcomers who had not long joined Oda Yoshinobu's command, and they were even more full of panic and uneasiness. How could they not guess the truth of the matter? After all, they are not stupid people, not to mention that Shigeharu Takenaka has no intention of concealing it at all.

Glancing at everyone, Shigeharu Takenaka chuckled and said, "Oh, this is really a headache, Lord Ataka has just surrendered to the family, if this kind of thing doesn't happen, I'm afraid Awaji Province will be his~" After a pause, Shigeharu Takenaka glanced at everyone again, and then said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I think you should all know that the lord implements a completely different system in the territory than the rest of the country, so any accidents that may arise should be avoided as much as possible." ”

Seeing that Saeki Yukai and the others opened their mouths to say something, Shigeharu Takenaka spoke again, "The Chozong family is an exception, but I believe that the lord will definitely have a way to solve this matter at that time." We, as retainers, can't we be aware of these hidden dangers and sit back and watch the exceptions increase. In that case, wouldn't you be causing trouble for the lord? ”

"What Lord Takenaka said is extremely true, that Anzhai Nobuyasu is just riding the wall and watching the wind to return to his own family, and he will definitely not be loyal to his family. Moreover, at this time, it is a critical juncture in the decisive battle with Maori and other forces, and if it reverses the Maori family again, it will be quite unfavorable for the entire war situation. The Gamo clan echoed his words, and then, Fujido Takatora also followed.

Well, Shigeharu Takenaka, an important minister under Oda Yoshinobu, and a descendant of Azuchi Gakuin said so, what else can Saeki and the others say? Is it really because of this incident that you are working against Shigeharu Takenaka? That's obviously impossible, after all, they don't have any friendship with Ataka Nobuyasu, let alone that Ataku Nobuyasu is already a dead man at this time. Help the dead to come out, they are not so great yet.

"Don't worry, I will report this matter to the lord as it is." Shigeharu Takenaka finally said. In fact, even if he didn't say it, it would be impossible for Mitsutoshi Dorao to hide this matter, so Shigeharu Takenaka's words were more for Saeki Yukai and others. Shigeharu Takenaka himself was one of the initiators of the god-making movement, so it was naturally impossible for him to do anything that would damage the prestige of Oda Yoshinobu.

The death of Nobuyasu Ataka was simply dealt with by Shigeharu Takenaka, in fact, even if he didn't say anything, Saeki Yukai and the others didn't dare to say anything, after all, they were just retainers who had just joined Oda Yoshinobu's command. However, Takenaka's approach gave them a deeper understanding of Oda Yoshinobu and his retainers.

Subsequently, under the arrangement of Takenaka Shigeji, the Gamo clan and others went everywhere to deal with the matters of subjugating the wealthy clans, and for these small wealthy clans, Takenaka Shigeharu naturally did not care about them. After all, their power is weak, and even if they want to rebel again, they won't be able to make any waves.

"Speaking of which, after the unification of the world, what kind of changes will occur between the lord and His Royal Highness?" Shigeharu Takenaka sat in the center of the castle lord and thought to himself. In the past, Li Huamei proposed the god-making movement on the basis of political and ideological education, and Takenaka Shigeharu directly agreed without thinking about it, at that time, Takenaka Shigeharu only felt that this would help Oda Yoshinobu rule the territory.

It's just that now, as Oda Yoshinobu's territory is getting bigger and bigger, Shigeharu Takenaka and others have begun to consciously promote this sport. The reason is simple, although the relationship between Oda Yoshinobu and Oda Nobunaga made everyone think that there would be no such thing as a bird exhausting the bow, and there was never a quarrel between Oda Yoshinobu and Oda Nobunaga that made people feel panicked, but as a retainer of Oda Yoshinobu, it was obvious that he should be prepared for everything before it happened.

"Even if the Lord and His Highness can always live in harmony, what about their descendants?" When Shigeharu Takenaka thought of this, his eyes became extremely cold. He has never been a good person, otherwise, he would not have refused in the face of Asai Nagamasa's invitation without thinking about it. Shigeharu Takenaka has a myriad of means at his disposal to help Yoshinobu Oda eliminate those enemies if needed.

In fact, even if Antaku Nobuyasu died, it would not make it any more difficult for the Oda family to receive Awaji, as mentioned above, the entire Awaji had no troops available to compete with the Oda family. If there are no soldiers, do you want to let those wealthy families come up and fight hard?

Well, in fact, it is not nothing, in this era of samurai who advocate sacrifice and value loyalty, even if there are many heroes such as Saito Michizo, it cannot change the faith in the hearts of most samurai. It's just the resistance of these people...... Hawkers,Actually, Shigeharu Takenaka is still very welcome.,After all, in this way,It's more logical to reduce the power of these wealthy families in Awaji.。 Well? Isn't Shigeharu Takenaka worried that these wealthy families will run out to report to Sanuki or the Maori family? Of course, he was worried, so Shigeharu Takenaka asked Saeki Yukai to send a fleet to block the ports of Awaji early on. Coupled with the ninja army brought by Dorao Mitsutoshi, those wealthy clans have no chance at all.

After nightfall, the entire Awaji has been pacified, and many of the patriarchs of the Hao clan and their eldest sons have been gathered in Sumoto Castle. However, Shigeharu Takenaka and the others did not rest, but continued to discuss the issue of how to take down Sanuki and Awa.

"According to the information we got from the people of Ataka Nobuyasu and others, there were not many troops left by the Miyoshi family in Sanuki at this time, but there were quite a few troops on Awa's side and Shinohara Nagabo. But the matter itself can be used. Shigeharu Takenaka said in a deep voice.

"Lord Takenaka! Under the willingness to go to the raider Sanuki! Gamo clan and Fujido Takatora said almost at the same time. As soon as the words fell, he turned his head and glared at the other party fiercely, "Why are you robbing me again?!" ”

Seeing this, Shigeji Takenaka suddenly had a headache, "Shixiang, Gao Hu, don't grab the two of you, this decisive battle, you have many opportunities to make meritorious contributions." Shigeji Takenaka persuaded in a good voice, but although he said so, Shigeharu Takenaka also had a headache, because he suddenly found that there seemed to be too few generals on his side who could lead the army alone. In other words, apart from Shigeharu Takenaka himself, there is no one at all.

Gamo clan and Fujido Takatora are certainly very good, but this kind of excellence does not mean that they are enough to become the generals who command an army. After all, a general who can lead a team alone, in addition to having extraordinary ability, also needs to have a lot of actual combat experience.

And this is also why after the eldest son of those big families served from the Yuan, there would be family generals to follow, constantly leading the army to carry out small-scale battles. To put it bluntly, it's just brushing up on experience. It's a pity that although Oda Yoshinobu also knew about this kind of thing and did it at the same time, Fujido Takatora and Gamo clan at this time only participated in several battles such as the Echizen offensive with the army, and they did not have the experience of commanding the army alone.

If Oda Yoshinobu was here, maybe he would have given them this opportunity, but obviously, Shigeharu Takenaka would not dare to do this. Because Shigeharu Takenaka's character is very cautious, if he is not very sure, he will never do it. You may miss out on a lot of fighters, but there's no doubt that most of the time, robustness is a very good advantage.

And the others, obviously even more unbearable, the Suzuki brothers are only at the level of mercenaries after all, and small-scale harassment may be okay, but the frontal war is handed over to them, and Shigeharu Takenaka does not have such courage. Saeki Yukai has a lot of combat experience, but it was just a naval battle after all.

"It seems that we can only ask the lord for help." Shigeharu Takenaka thought to himself. If Sanuki and Awa can't be taken quickly, then the Mori family will inevitably react immediately, and no one can say what will happen at that time. But in Takenaka's view, the biggest possibility is to pull Oda Yoshinobu's main force into the Shikoku battlefield. After all, although the Maori family sent 80,000 troops, if necessary, the Maori family would definitely be able to mobilize another 20,000 or 30,000 people. And once Oda Yoshinobu is trapped in the Shikoku battlefield, Takeda and Uesugi are on the side, but it will not be easy.

At this moment, a ninja suddenly appeared outside the house, "Takenaka-sama, Shinna-sama is here." ”

"What? How could she come?! Shigeharu Takenaka stood up in shock, apparently completely unaware of this.

"Lord Takenaka, why can't you come down?" A crisp voice came from outside the house, and then I saw Oda Shinna slowly walking in, and behind her, followed by Sakakihara Yasumasa, Kato Danzo and others.

Hawkers,Speaking of which,If you rank according to the status under Oda Yoshinobu,The one who walks in the front should be Niko Katsuhisa.。 And if it is ranked according to seniority, it should be Sakakihara Yasumasa or Kato Danzo. But apparently, they were not willing to go ahead of Oda Shinna. Even if Oda Shinna's identity at this time is just a mere Ashigaru general, who can really treat him as an Ashigaru general? Kato Danzo or Sakakihara Yasumasa can't, and neither can Shigeharu Takenaka.

"Lord Shinna, you ...... Is this what the lord meant? Shigeharu Takenaka looked at Oda Shinna with a headache, and then looked at Sakakiwara Yasumasa and the others behind him, and asked with a helpless expression. But although he was asking, he had already guessed the answer, but he didn't understand how Oda Yoshinobu would send Shinna out, you must know that although the Miyoshi family is easy to deal with, he will have to deal with the Maori family later!

Although Oda Shinna was dissatisfied with Shigeharu Takenaka's honorifics, she didn't say much, as if she had just walked in front of Kato Danzo and the others. Although she has been asking everyone to treat her like an ordinary retainer since she officially became a retainer of Oda Yoshinobu, it is obvious that except for Li Huamei, the official wife of Oda Yoshinobu, how dare others really treat Oda Shina like this?

Although Oda Yoshinobu said the same, and Oda Nobunaga expressed even more casualness, if they really dared to drink to Oda Shinna, Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu would definitely jump out and say that they wanted to have a drink with the old man who was not afraid of death.

"Yes! The lord has already promised to let me go into battle! Lord Takenaka, you can't deliberately let Zai stay behind! Oda Shinajiao said with a smile. Well, in order to be able to go to war, it seems that Oda Shinna can't care about anything else.

Hearing this, what else can Shigeharu Takenaka do except smile bitterly? "Lord, you really have a big problem for your subordinates." Shigeharu Takenaka naturally understands that the battle in Oda Shinna's mouth is not to go out with the army for a walk, but to really unify the army, and judging by her expression, it is very likely that she will ask for an independent army. Hawkers, Oda Shinna obviously won't take the initiative to bring this up, but there are some things that obviously don't need to be said to be able to be conveyed.

What is Oda Shinna's purpose, Oda Yoshinobu's subordinates or the entire Oda family are all clear, although Takenaka Shigeji does not think that Oda Shinna can change Oda Yoshinobu's attitude after making a lot of military achievements, but this obviously does not prevent the girl in front of him from fantasizing.

"In that case, please take a seat with Shinna-sama first, and let's discuss how to attack Sanuki and Awa." Shigeharu Takenaka said with a wry smile. But strictly speaking, he wasn't too worried, because he had already seen behind Oda Shinna, in addition to Sakakihara Yasumasa and Kato Danzo, there were also Izumo Akuni and Yamanaka Shikasuke and others. Obviously, Oda Yoshinobu was fully prepared for Oda Shinna's first unification of the army.
