Ise Province, located to the west of Owari Province, has been mired in civil strife since the beginning of the Warring States period, and countless wealthy clans have attacked each other, making even in this troubled era, the chaos of Ise Province far exceeds that of other countries. The decline of the power of the national division caused the Kitada family of the original Ise Province to be completely forced to the area of Okochi Castle in Southern Ise.
Although thanks to the efforts of Kitabatake Harugu and others, the Kitada family once again expanded their influence to the 5 counties of Minami-Ise. After Kitada Gukyo succeeded him, and thanks to his efforts, the power of the Kitada family expanded again, occupying 15 prefectures in Ise. Well, 15 counties, just by looking at the number of counties, you can see how messy it is.
It's just that even so, Kitada Gukyo was still unable to extend his power into Kita-Ise, especially after being defeated by the Akabori family and the Seki family in Kita-Ise one after another, and the Kitada family's plan to unify Ise Province was completely shelved.
And this is also the reason why Saito and Imagawa both sent envoys to Ise Province to ask for help, but there was no movement there.
It's just that even if it's such an Ise country, Oda Yoshinobu swears to call it his fiefdom? Well, even Oda Nobunaga, who is accustomed to Oda Yoshi's unscrupulous words, can't react for a while.
As for the other retainers, they had already been stupid by Oda Yoshinobu's words, and they looked at Oda Yoshinobu blankly, with only one thought in their hearts, that is, "This kid is crazy......
Indeed, if you look at it according to common sense, if you want to attack Ise Country, you must have Oda Nobunaga to lead the army and mobilize a large number of troops to defeat it. But what about Yoshinobu Oda? His fief is only a territory of 4,000 koku in the area of Nakono, even if Oda Yoshinobu has always made some money through the Agotic Chamber of Commerce and Mikawa over the years, but the stone height of the territory proves that it is impossible for Oda Yoshinobu to mobilize many troops.
It's like in history, although Takigawa Kazuki was the first general to attack Ise, in fact, all he did was defeat a few small wealthy clans connected to Ise and Owari, and opened the door to Ise Province. The real pacification of Ise was only after Oda Nobunaga personally commanded a large army to attack Ise.
After reacting, everyone did not laugh at Oda Yoshinobu for saying big things, because Oda Yoshinobu had already secured the position of the number one retainer of the Oda family over the years. Even old ministers such as Shibata Katsuya and Lin Xiuzhen were polite when they talked to Oda Yoshinobu.
It's just that among these people, Oda Nobunaga is clearly not included. I saw him frowning and looking at Oda Yoshinobu, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts. After a long time, Oda Nobunaga said angrily, "An Ise country? You kid has a big appetite! ”
Well, Oda Nobunaga didn't bother to discuss the question of whether Oda Yoshinobu could defeat Ise at all, because it seemed to him that it was simply impossible.
"Is it big? There are sixty-six countries in the world, and Ise is only one of them......" Oda Yoshinobu chuckled, judging by the tone of her voice, what he said seemed to be nothing more than a trivial matter.
In a word, Oda Nobunaga was suddenly speechless, he just shouted in high spirits about the world's martial arts, and here Oda Yoshinobu expressed his support with actions. Just this support...... It really hurts Oda Nobunaga.
However, Oda Yoshinobu had already said so, and Oda Nobunaga could only stubbornly keep up, "Then tell me what help you need." Oda Nobunaga kept giving Oda Yoshiko a look, hoping that this kid would want more. Ha? Nothing? If Oda Yoshinobu dared to say that, Oda Nobunaga wouldn't mind throwing this kid out directly.
Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Yoshinobu was immediately happy, although this idea only suddenly appeared in his mind, but it did not prevent him from proposing what he wanted, "Kaisai, Kaito, Aichi three guns!" As long as the elder brother lends the three counties to his courtiers and prepares for another year, it will be enough to attack Ise. ”
Well, Oda Yoshinobu really didn't think much of Ise, because whether it was Taiko or Nobuno, the Oda family wanted to destroy Isekoku, and they never just wanted to think about it, and they didn't have to think about it at all.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into deep thought, and among Oda Yoshinobu's requests, only Aichi-gun developed better because of the existence of Nakono Castle. The other two prefectures of Kaisai and Kaidong have always been mainly prepared for the invasion of Ise because of their proximity to Ise Province, and their development is not comparable to that of Aichi County, let alone Kaibe County, which owns Tsushima.
However, despite this, the three counties combined have a total of 70,000 or 80,000 koku, and because of the precautions against Ise, no troops have been mobilized from this side over the years. At that time, it will not be a problem to gather 6 or 7,000 people.
After thinking about it for a moment, Oda Nobunaga looked up at Oda Yoshinobu and immediately saw that his eyes were full of confidence. Seeing this, I don't know why, Oda Nobunaga suddenly had some confidence in Oda Yoshinobu's words, and immediately said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I originally planned to reward Aichi-gun to you." ”
Oda Nobunaga's words made many retainers below suddenly in an uproar, Aichi-gun, that's a territory of nearly 50,000 koku. However, thinking about the merits that Oda Yoshinobu has made over the years, especially the exploits of this capture of Mino, they can't be jealous.
Oda Nobunaga took in everyone's expressions, and while sighing in his heart for Oda Yoshinobu's prestige among his retainers, he was not only smug. After all, Oda Yoshinobu was picked up by his Oda Nobunaga, so what is it called? What a man of knowledge!
After thinking about it, Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said in a deep voice, "In this way, in addition to Kaisei, Kaito, and Aichi, I will also hand over Chita County to you, which adds up to about 100,000 koku." If you manage to capture Ise Province in the end, all four prefectures will be given to you! ”
"And if it fails...... Oda Nobunaga said here, hesitating, because he doesn't know what to do if Oda Yoshinobu fails. Punish? Oda Nobunaga was reluctant. But if you don't punish it, what do other retainers think?
However, Oda Nobunaga did not hesitate for too long, because after Oda Yoshinobu saw Oda Nobunaga's hesitation, he directly continued, "If there is no hope of conquering Ise Province in 2 years, the younger brother is willing to stay by the elder brother's side forever." However, the younger brother will not fail! ”
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga was once again shocked by Oda Yoshinobu's self-confidence. Just now, he was worried about it, so he didn't raise the question of time at all. But now? Yoshinobu Oda was limited to two years. Well, it's just that you can't see the hope of conquering Ise Province, but if you want to see it, you have to conquer more than a quarter of the territory, right?
Although some retainers had some objections to this, they finally held back. After all, although it seems like nonsense, after all, it is a matter between Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu, and there is not much conflict of interest for other retainers. Of course, the most important reason is that even if Oda Nobunaga handed over the four prefectures to himself, they were not confident that they would be able to make any progress in two years.
After all, in this day and age, aggression would have been a very difficult thing to do. Although the Oda family seems to be expanding their territory very quickly, as long as you think about the fact that Oda Nobuhide did not expand his territory to half of Owari in his life, you can understand why the troubled times have lasted so long, and they are still the same troubled times.
And most importantly, with the merits of Oda Yoshinobu this time, as Oda Nobunaga said, it is not a big deal to get an Aichi gun, which is 40,000 koku! Most families have been in business for countless generations and do not have such a large territory.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Oda Nobunaga suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Everyone! Are you jealous of righteousness? Do you envy Yoshishin? ”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Oda Nobunaga in unison, although he didn't say anything, although he didn't see much about Oda Yoshinobu's strategy of Ise in his heart, but he asked himself, to say that there was no envy and jealousy, it was definitely a lie.
Oda Nobunaga glanced at the crowd, and although they didn't answer, their expressions and eyes spoke for themselves. Oda Nobunaga was very satisfied with this situation, "Everyone, I know that you will all feel jealousy and envy. But if he can do what he says, he deserves to get those territories! ”
After a pause, Oda Nobunaga pointed to everyone and said excitedly, "If in the future, which of you can make such a contribution as Yoshinobu, a fief of a country!" I'll give it to you too! ”
In a word, everyone suddenly went crazy. Hawkers, although they don't know if they can make a contribution like Oda Yoshinobu, there is no doubt that Oda Nobunaga's words have shown his attitude, that is, as long as you have made meritorious deeds, then he Oda Nobunaga will definitely not treat you badly!
The evaluation ended with Oda Nobunaga's rather incendiary words, and the retainers who had left were still very excited, as if they had seen a bright future.
On the other hand, Oda Nobunaga was very unhappy to teach Oda Yoshinobu a lesson.
"You bastard boy, why don't you tell me about such a big thing first?" Oda Nobunaga complained angrily.
"Hehe, it's not that you didn't think about how to reward me, I suddenly had such an idea when I heard this, so I said it directly." Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly had an urge to slash the bastard in front of him to death, "Bastard! That's Ise Country! All of them add up to nearly 700,000 stones! You just give me a sudden thought and dare to say it?! Oda Nobunaga kept roaring in his heart. (To be continued.) )
