Chapter 862: When the Reform Is in Progress (3)

Azuchi Castle. Burn? Wen?? ???. r?a?n?? e?na`com

As time passed, more and more Oda retainers arrived at Azuchi Castle one after another, from the old retainers of the Shibata Katsu family to the subjugated forces such as Mori Terumoto, and finally there were hundreds of them. However, it is no wonder that in addition to the retainers of the Oda family and the forces of the Western Kingdom and Kyushu, most of the Kanto, Mutsu, and Dewa are independent daimyo and wealthy families. In particular, Dewa and Mutsu are simply small wargostates, and in addition to the newly rising Motogami, as well as the old daimyo Date and Nanbu, there are dozens of large and small forces.

These people were placed in the samurai mansion of Azuchi Castle, and although it was already a large place, the large number of people, plus the accompanying people, still forced many people to live in the castle town. But apparently, these things don't matter to them at all, because everyone is figuring out the details of the reforms.

Although for the vast majority of people, no matter how Oda Nobunaga wants to reform, these people can only carry it out obediently, but obviously, if you can find out one or two to let yourself have a bottom, you don't have to live so fearfully every day.

It's a pity that even now, old ministers such as Shibata Katsuya don't know about it. This made everyone's hearts even more frightened, after all, if it wasn't for the fact that it was too big, how could it be necessary to keep it so secret?

"Brother, do you say you're so strict about secrecy? Sooner or later, you have to let people know......" Oda Yoshinobu couldn't help but complain as soon as he saw Oda Nobunaga. Because from the time he arrived at Azuchi Castle to the time he entered the castle tower, it took nearly half an hour, and a group of people surrounded him and kept asking questions, so that Oda Yoshinobu was almost ready to draw his sword and open the way.

"Haha, isn't that great? This shows that they have recognized the status of their own family as the overlord of the world, so they attach great importance to this reform. Oda Nobunaga laughed when he heard this.

"Tsk, that's right." Oda Yoshinobu nodded, and then said with a playful smile, "I wonder if there will be someone who doesn't open his eyes at that time?" By the way, all those local wealthy families have arrived? ”

"You kid, you look like you'd like someone to ignore your family's orders." Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu's expression and said helplessly, "Don't worry, everyone is here, even some small wealthy families with only a thousand stones have come here because of their independent nature." ”

"Hehe, these guys know each other too." Yoshinobu Oda sneered.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, do you have any good ideas about that?" Oda Nobunaga asked with a serious face.

"I do have an idea." When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he also showed a serious expression.

No matter how fierce the rumors are from the outside world, for Oda Nobunaga or Oda Yoshinobu, this reform does not strictly have much to pay attention to. Because this is just a small goal to achieve Oda Nobunaga's idea, anyway, if anyone dares to object, Oda Yoshinobu will use the sword in his hand to tell him that it is not right to do so.

"Let's hear it~" Oda Nobunaga asked happily when he heard this. He also thought about this matter for a long time, but unfortunately all the ideas did not stand up to scrutiny, and the resistance to implementation was too strong, which was likely to lead to the destruction of the Oda family.

"If you want to be the real emperor, then you must reach three points, people's heart, name and prestige!" Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice, "If we have prestige, we can gain it by taking North Korea, and I also want to attack Southeast Asia." In this way, you will increase your reputation by seizing a large amount of foreign territory. ”

"Well, that's not bad, but you're going to fight Southeast Asia? Seems to be poor there, right? Is there a mountain of gold? Oda Nobunaga asked strangely. To be honest, Oda Nobunaga really doesn't have much idea about Oda Yoshinobu's overseas expansion over the years, after all, in his opinion, those places really don't have any occupation value.

Poor and backward, although the territory is very large, but it needs a lot of manpower and material resources to build, so it is better to directly develop the territory of the country. Therefore, Oda Nobunaga has never asked about Oda Yoshinobu's overseas territories, and only when he learned that there were materials such as horses and gold mountains there, he became a little interested.

In this regard, Oda Yoshinobu just gave Oda Nobunaga a pair of white eyes, "Trade! There's a lot of spice to trade in, otherwise why do you think those Europeans are going to Southeast Asia? Oda Yoshinobu said angrily.

The real reason, Oda Yoshinobu can't say at all, after all, in this era, it is not a future generation where every inch of land is valuable, after all, in the troubled times of more than a hundred years, almost most of the land is wasteland. Not to mention the barren Kyushu and Mutsu, even in, there is a large amount of wasteland that is uncultivated.

"Having territories overseas also represents a difference between us and Minamoto Yoritomo, Ashikaga Takashi and others. Moreover, people in those places don't know what the emperor is. Oda Yoshinobu found another reason.

"Well, that's good." Oda Nobunaga nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a playful expression and said, "But then again, although we are in the midst of a big rebellious plan, are you too disrespectful to the emperor?" ”

Two middle fingers, this is Oda Yoshinobu's answer to Oda Nobunaga, and then ignored his reaction, and continued to take care of himself, "As for the people's hearts, it's very simple, as long as the vast majority of civilians are good to them, satisfy their food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and have some spare money to spend, then it is impossible for them to be willing to rebel." Even if you are forced to be hostile to your own family, you will find an opportunity to betray. ”

"Hmm...... And what about the name? Oda Nobunaga nodded and continued to ask, "I've actually thought about all of this, but the name ...... I really can't find it, after all, the emperor is a family of eternity, and he has ruled the world since the founding of his country. Even when the shogunate appeared and took away the emperor's power, people still regarded him as the true ruler. ”

Separate rulers and those in power? This doesn't seem like a problem, given that there are too many examples of this in history to count.

"Hehe, so in some places, brother, your brain is too stiff~" Oda Yoshinobu laughed when he heard this.

"No more nonsense! Get down to business! Oda Nobunaga said angrily, his tone full of urgency. You must know that Oda Yoshinobu's expression means that he must have a relatively reliable reason.

"It's very simple, do you think there was Japan or the emperor first? Who were our ancestors in the era when there was no emperor? Oda Yoshinobu asked proudly.

"......" Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a confused expression, obviously, he was stunned by Oda Yoshinobu's words.
