Kaimachi, Otsu and Kusatsu are all the most prosperous commercial towns in. The daikan was the shogunate's governor in charge of the politics, commerce, and military affairs of these places. It can be said that if Oda Nobunaga obtains the right to appoint the acting officials of these three towns, then it means that these three towns will completely fall into the hands of Oda Nobunaga.

The Oda family started out as a businessman, and from Oda Nobuhide to Oda Nobunaga, the two governors understood the importance of money very well. Therefore, Oda Nobunaga will never let go of these three towns.

Well? Since these three towns are in, wouldn't it be okay for Oda Nobunaga to fight them directly? Why bother? However, Oda Nobunaga, who had been dealing with merchants for many years, knew very well that the wealth that could be brought by force was only temporary, and that the only way to obtain a large amount of wealth for a long time was through cooperation with merchants.

Regarding Oda Nobunaga's request, Ashikaga Yoshiaki immediately agreed to it after receiving a guarantee from Hosokawa Fujitaka. Well, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who had just taken over as a shogun, apparently didn't understand what it really was to send a deputy officer. Although Hosokawa Fujitaka gave him lessons for a long time, it was clear that those lessons were more specific to the current situation in the shogunate.

"Hehe, our highness the general seems quite naïve, and he even wants to tie his family to death in the shogunate." Leaving the palace, Oda Yoshinobu couldn't help but taunt.

"I can't see it, you kid is getting more and more mature~" Oda Nobunaga glanced at Oda Yoshinobu and quipped.

"That's, after all, I'm the god of war in my family now, and I must have the demeanor of a god of war!" Oda Yoshinobu said when he heard this.

All the way back to the accommodation where he stayed, Oda Yoshinobu told Oda Nobunaga in detail about his meeting with Matsunaga Shu. "Elder brother, I think Matsunaga-sama's move is to tell your brother that he will definitely obey his family's decree and will not have two hearts."

"Oh? I thought you'd think Matsunaga Shu was just telling me that his goal was only Yamato. Oda Nobunaga raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu glanced at Oda Nobunaga, and replied angrily, "Am I that stupid?!" If Matsunaga really only wants Yamato and Ichikoku, then he doesn't need to turn against the three of Miyoshi at all. ”

"Not bad." Oda Nobunaga nodded and said, "I think so too, Matsunaga Hide's person has great ambitions, and he can't think of only Yamato. ”

"In that case, then you still agree to Matsunaga's submission?" Oda Yoshinobu asked curiously when he heard this. At this time, it is not as good as the Oda family in history, even if there is no help from any forces, the Oda family is still unstoppable. Therefore, it is simply not to reduce the hindrance of Shangluo.

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga laughed confidently, "It's a good thing to be ambitious!" If a samurai doesn't even have the ambition to climb up, what can he do? After speaking, Oda Nobunaga suddenly glanced at Oda Yoshinobu, "Except for the pervert of your kid!" ”

"When did I lose my ambition?" Oda Yoshinobu muttered dissatisfiedly, but he also learned from Oda Nobunaga's words that he was confident in himself. Although he didn't say it directly, the subconscious meaning of his words was told to Oda Yoshinobu very bluntly. If a sovereign can't even control an ambitious retainer, then he is not qualified to talk about dominating the world.

Subsequently, Oda Nobunaga recruited Akechi Mitsuhide, Niwa Nagahide, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi.

"Mitsuhide, Kyoto's defense and contact with the imperial court will be left to you."

"Yes!" After Akechi Mitsuhide answered, he asked with some confusion, "...... the general?"

"Hehe, don't be too greedy." Oda Nobunaga chuckled, then turned his head to look at Kinoshita Hideyoshi, "Monkey, the connection with the general will be handed over to you!" ”

"What?!" As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Fujiyoshiro, looked at Oda Nobunaga in shock. Well, of course, this doesn't include Yoshinobu Oda. It's not that he knows that this candidate must be Kinoshita Hideyoshi, but he doesn't care who holds the position at all.

"This ...... Lord, is his subordinate ...... Not quite right, huh? Before Akechi Mitsuhide could speak, Kinoshita Hideyoshi said with some trepidation, "My subordinates think that this errand should be done by Akechi-sama......"

Although Kinoshita Hideyoshi's words sounded a little unambitious, after all, this errand was very important, but this kid retreated on his own. But strictly speaking, he was not wrong, because he was born as a commoner, although he has done a good job as a samurai over the years, but obviously, as the intermediary responsible for the connection between the Oda family and the shogun's family, Kinoshita Hideyoshi is obviously not so suitable in terms of etiquette and identity.

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga looked at Kinoshita Hideyoshi directly, and asked in a calm tone, "So, do you think Mitsuhide is more suitable for this errand?" ”

"Hah! There's a good show to watch~" Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly snickered in his heart. Well, this kid is completely watching the excitement and not afraid of big things.

"This ...... This...... Subordinates ......" Kinoshita Hideyoshi obviously saw Oda Nobunaga's anger, hesitated for a moment, and finally said loudly, "Subordinates take orders!" My subordinates will definitely do a good job in this matter! ”

"Humph!" Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly, "Monkey, you remember, when you got over there, you represent your own family!" It's me! Don't do anything rude, and don't let your family be humiliated! ”

"Yes!" Although Hideyoshi Hashiba didn't understand why Oda Nobunaga said this, he immediately agreed.

"Mitsu-so, do you have any questions?" Oda Nobunaga nodded, then looked at Akechi Mitsuhide and asked.

"There is no point in subordinates, and Lord Kinoshita, as the liaison between the general's family and the family, is very suitable." Wise Guangxiu said lightly.

Couldn't Akechi Mitsuhide see Oda Nobunaga's purpose? Naturally, you can see it. Because Oda Nobunaga had already told them very bluntly just now. On behalf of the Oda family, on behalf of Oda Nobunaga, and the Oda family cannot be humiliated. But Kinoshita Hideyoshi's identity stayed in the general, and Akechi Mitsuhide would guess what would happen with his toes. You must know that after Ashikaga Yoshiaki became a general, there were no more than a few people around him.

Those people are all high-minded and accustomed to the arrogant and arrogant traditional ministers of the Gao family, how can they give Kinoshita Hideyoshi any good looks? Although Akechi Mitsuhide and Kinoshita Hideyoshi are not too familiar, after joining the Oda family, he really observed the retainers up and down the Oda family, and for Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide is still relatively clear, after all, this person is difficult to ignore, isn't it?

In general, this person belongs to the retainer of the absolute Oda Nobunaga, although he was a little unbearable just now, but Akechi Mitsuhide knows that if someone in the general's family really humiliates the Oda family, then Kinoshita Hideyoshi will definitely give them a good look right away.

"Through Kinoshita-sama, I used this to tell His Highness the Shogun that even if he became a general, was it only because the Oda family made him a general?" Akechi Mitsuhide thought to herself, and suddenly began to be confused in her heart again.

Well, Akechi Mitsuhide is really a very, very easily confused Saunian, or he doesn't have a firm goal like Oda Nobunaga and others at all.

From the beginning, Akechi Mitsuhide's goal was to follow Michizo Saito and become a powerful minister who ruled the world. Later, after Michizo Saito's death, he hoped to inherit Michizo Saito's dreams and ambitions. Today, he hopes to be a hero in the revival of the shogunate.

It can be said that along the way, Akechi Mitsuhide has always been constantly revising his life goals, but if you look closely, it seems that it is because of the cruelty of reality that he found that the goals he set before were impossible to achieve, and in the end, he chose to escape.

And now, although Akechi Mitsuhide was abandoned by Ashikaga Yoshiaki and became a retainer of Oda Nobunaga. But in his heart, he still didn't give up the idea of helping the shogunate revival. And now, Oda Nobunaga's words clearly prove his attitude towards the shogunate, that is, puppets! The Oda family only needed a puppet shogunate.

"Mitsuhide, what are you kid thinking?" A flirtatious voice woke Akechi Mitsuhide, and when he looked back, he found Oda Yoshinobu crouching beside him and looking at him with a strange smile.

"What about them, lords?" Akechi Mitsuhide asked stupidly.

"Long gone." Oda Yoshinobu pursed his lips and said, "By the way, the lord asked Nagahide to be in charge of building Nijo Castle as the general's residence. ”

"Oh......" Wise Mitsuhide heard this, and replied in a trance.

Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu scratched his head helplessly, and he suddenly found that the kid Akechi Mitsuhide hadn't given up on the shogunate. "Mitsuhide, you have to understand that the era of the Ashikaga shogunate has passed, and whether it is the Oda family or not, it is impossible for the Ashikaga shogunate to return to its former power. So, if you really want not to show your talents, you can only do it under the command of the lord! ”

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Akechi Mitsuhide remembered what Oda Nobunaga had said to him before, and how similar it was to what Oda Yoshinobu said now.

Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide was silent, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head helplessly, this kind of thing, to put it bluntly, still has to rely on himself. If Akechi Mitsuhide really can't get around this bend, then Oda Yoshinobu is helpless. After all, he is not a professional psychiatrist.
