Chapter 34: Yamaguchi's father and son rebel
Oda Nobunaga's behavior at the funeral naturally aroused everyone's disgust, after all, such an outrageous son would not have such a ridiculous act at his father's funeral, and Hirate Masahide, who was Oda Nobunaga's teacher, was naturally the object of everyone's criticism. www.biquge.info It's just that no matter what, Oda Nobunaga still inherited the position of family governor, there is no doubt about this.
"Master Jifa, you've been acting normally lately, since the funeral in the main hall, I've always felt that Lord Pingshou is weird." Yamada Masamura said with a serious face. He couldn't say that Hirate Masahide would commit suicide recently, so he could only remind him so tactfully.
"Huh? Grandfather? Oda Nobunaga looked at Yamada Masamura in surprise, and then frowned. After Oda Nobuhide's death, Oda Nobunaga's relatives were only Masahide Hirate and Masamura Yamada, and he didn't want anything to happen that he didn't want to see.
"Well, you're right, grandpa has really been a little bit wrong lately, I'll visit him later, let's be honest these days......" Oda Nobunaga nodded in response.
"Well, that's the best......" Yamada Masamura breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was afraid that Oda Nobunaga didn't listen, and if Hirate Masahide really committed suicide, it would be something he didn't want to see. This is not just for Oda Nobunaga, Yamada Masamura is usually taken care of a lot by Hirate Masahide, after all, etiquette and other cultural classes, but Hirate Masahide taught that although it is only as an accompaniment to Oda Nobunaga.
Suemori City.
"Bastard! Why is this happening?! Nobunaga, that bastard, had done such a ridiculous thing, so why didn't any of his retainers propose to depose him as governor?! Oda Nobuyuki roared angrily. Originally, according to his idea, he planned to take advantage of Oda Nobuhide's death to have Lin Xiuzhen and others propose that he inherit the Oda family, but this proposal was opposed by Lin Xiuzhen and Shibata Katsuie. The reason is simple, Oda Nobuhide has just died, and the Oda family obviously can't withstand another turmoil.
Therefore, he pinned his hopes on other retainers, as long as someone proposed, he believed that Lin Xiuzhen and others would not support him. But what they never expected was that no one brought it up at all, even if they kept talking about the possible demise of the Oda family at the hands of Oda Nobunaga.
"Nobuyuki Gongzi, please bear with me, although all the retainers are very dissatisfied with Nobunaga now, but after all, the main hall has just died, and no one wants to make waves again at such a time." Lin Xiuzhen whispered comfort.
"Patience! How much longer will you have to endure it?! You also saw that Uncle Nobumitsu and Sakuma-sama-sama have a good impression of Nobunaga's bastard, in case that bastard does something in the future to win over a wave of retainers, how can I become a family governor?! Oda Nobuyuki yelled angrily at Lin Xiuzhen.
This appearance made Lin Xiuzhen frown, but he still said firmly, "Nobuyuki Gongzi, I hope you know that Nobunaga is not only the governor of the Oda family, but also the son-in-law of Saito Michizo, for the current weak family, the idea of the Saito family is something that the family has to consider!" After Lin Xiuzhen finished speaking, she stood up, glanced deeply at Oda Nobuyuki and said, "In addition, if Prince Nobuyuki really wants to inherit the family governor, then don't expose your true nature at will......" After speaking, he left directly.
Well, Lin Xiuzhen's words directly expressed his dissatisfaction, after all, as the head of the Oda family, even when Oda Nobuhide was alive, he rarely yelled at him like this. Therefore, although he supports Oda Nobuyuki, it does not mean that he will get used to Oda Nobuyuki's temper.
"You ......" Oda Nobuyuki looked at Lin Xiuzhen's distant back, wanting to go crazy again, but in the end he could only sit on the ground weakly. Good! Very good! You bastards, sooner or later you'll regret it! Oda Nobuyuki thought resentfully.
Back at home, Lin Xiuzhen was surprised to find that Shibata Katsuya was waiting for him in the house, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Quan Liu, why are you free to come to my side today?" ”
"Haha~ Didn't I come to see you~ Just came back from Nobuyuki?" Shibata Katsuya said with a laugh.
"Yes, Nobuyuki is so unbearable that he even wants to seize the ...... of the family governor at this time" Lin Xiuzhen said with a wry smile, why didn't he find out that Oda Nobuyuki was so obsessed with power before?
"Hehe, this is also normal, after all, the main hall has died, and Nobuyuki's ambition will naturally be exposed, and Mrs. Tsuchida is constantly instigating." Shibata Katsuya sneered, and in his words, he did not have the slightest respect for Nobuyuki and Mrs. Tsuchida.
"What? Did Mrs. Tsuchida look for you? Lin Xiuzhen thought about it and guessed the purpose of Shibata Katsuya's visit this time.
"Yes, but I didn't agree, although I don't like Nobunaga's kid, but the family really can't stand the turmoil now. Women, even those with long hair and short knowledge. Shibata Katsuya said with a sigh.
Not to mention the various sighs of Hayashi Hidezhen and Shibata Katsuya over there, Oda Nobunaga listened to Yamada Masamura's proposal, although he did not completely put an end to all kinds of prodigal and strange behaviors, but at least in front of the retainers, he still pretended to be quite pretended, which made Hirate Masahide really relieved.
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. Oda Nobunaga has become very comfortable with the new role of the family governor, and Maeda Toshiie and others have also begun to show the side of excellent samurai. It's just that all this, in the eyes of many people, is just an illusion created by the efforts of Masahide Herate and others, and listening to the various rumors about Oda Nobunaga from time to time, it seems that the fool is still the same fool.
Sunpu Castle.
"Alas, it's a pity, Nobuhide is dead, and it's clear that Owari has no way to contend with the forces of his own family, and we have no way to send troops to Owari." Imagawa Yoshimoto sighed for a long time, obviously depressed that he had missed such an opportunity.
"The lord doesn't have to be like this, now for the family, the Hojo family in the east is the most important opponent." Taiyuan Xuezhai said with a chuckle, it seems that for this old monk, there is nothing in this world that can move him.
"Yes, it's a joke to think that the combined forces of Ogiya Uesugi, Yamauchi Uesugi and Furukawa Ashikaga Harushi were defeated by the Hojo family! Such a powerful army! Imagawa Yoshimoto kept complaining. If it weren't for their defeat, how would the Hojo family be freed from the encirclement and suppression of the Kanto Qunhao? With the current grievances between the Imagawa family and the Hojo family, Imagawa Yoshimoto believes that as long as he dares to send troops to Owari, the Hojo clan Yasu will go straight to Suruga. After all, in order to prevent Imagawa and Takeda from joining forces to attack him, he ceded the land of Jundong and Fuji counties.
"Wait...... I believe that the Oda family will not always be so calm, even if they really plan to be calm, we can also use a little means to ......" Taiyuan Xuezhai still smiled so lightly, as if the Oda family was in his eyes, but it was like an ant that could be destroyed at hand.
In March, Oda Nobunaga's first thing that shocked everyone after he succeeded to the throne of the family occurred when the stepfather and son of the Yamaguchi Kyo, the lord of Narumi Castle, were returned to the Imagawa family. This was a great event, and Oda Nobunaga hurriedly gathered his ministers to discuss.
"Nima, this seems to be the first assessment, right? I really don't know why there are so few assessments in reality......" Yamada Masamura looked at the more and more retainers in the assessment room, and his heart was broken.
In other words, Yamada Masamura is just a general of Ashigaru at this time, and strictly speaking, he is not qualified to enter the assessment room to participate in the deliberations. But there is no way, who made him Oda Nobunaga's direct retainer? Not only him, but Maeda Toshiie and others also participated. In this regard, although the other retainers were a little dissatisfied, they did not say much.
After all the retainers arrived, Oda Nobunaga slowly walked out of the side door of the assessment room, sat down and looked around at everyone, and then said, "Don't talk nonsense, now the Yamaguchi sect's stepfather and son rebelled, and Narumi Castle fell into the hands of the Imagawa family. Narumi Castle is the gateway to Owari and Mikawa, and with Narumi Castle, the Imagawa family's troops can enter Owari at will. So I decided! Immediately send troops and recapture Narumi Castle before reinforcements from the Imagawa family arrive! ”
Oda Nobunaga didn't have any intention of discussing it at all, after all, now that the castle has been taken away, what else is being discussed? Just send troops.
"This ......" retainers, you look at me, I look at you, with a full face, "Aren't we going to discuss it?" Obviously, they have not yet adapted to Oda Nobunaga's style.
"It's done! What about the rebellious forces in Narumi Castle now? In the stunned eyes of the retainers, Oda Nobunaga asked.
"Back to the lord, according to the ninja report, Yamaguchi Kyotsugu rushed to build two towers of Kasa Temple and Nakamura, and his son Kyoshi guarded Narumi Castle and himself guarded Nakamura Castle, and according to the information, Kasa Temple seems to be the Imagawa family's Katsuyama Nagaka, Okabe Motonobu, Miura Yoshisa, Iio Toyomae Mamoru and Asai Koshiro and other five people guarded. The total number of troops is probably between 1500-2000. Sen Kecheng said. At this time, he was already the ninja leader of the Oda family.
"What? The Imagawa family moves so fast?! Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and what surprised everyone even more was the strength of the enemy army, you must know that in the absence of Cheongju and Iwakura troops, the total number of troops that the entire Oda family could mobilize was only more than 2,000 people.
"Excellent! Then the garrison of the ancient no castle will be handed over to Uncle Nobumitsu, Nobuyuki, and you will be responsible for monitoring Shin'an in the north. The rest, come with me! Oda Nobunaga slapped the folding fan in his hand and made a decision.
"That's child's play, isn't it?" The retainers didn't seem to have reacted at this time, after all, according to the situation in the past, it should still be in the discussion stage.
"What are you doing in a daze?! Hurry up and get ready! Oda Nobunaga looked at the motionless retainers below and immediately shouted.
"Yes!" When everyone heard this, they reacted and trotted away.
"Haha~ Master Jifa, have you seen those guys, one by one, like fools." Yamada Masamura laughed and said that he really didn't like these unknown guys.
"Okay, you kid prepare me well, this war must be won!" Oda Nobunaga said with a straight face. He never wanted to prove anything, he just wanted to develop the Oda family, and he didn't care what those retainers thought.
"Don't worry~ Just rely on that, what Yamaguchi teaches! Just wait for me to bring their heads! Yamada Masamura patted his chest and reassured.
