Chapter 218: A Visitor from the Takeda Family
In the end, Oda Yoshinobu still did not agree to Kamizumi Nobutsuna's request, although this request was very tempting, but Oda Yoshinobu also had a self-aware self-knowledge and accepted Izumi Nobutsuna as a disciple? What did he use to teach?! When the time comes, if Kamiizumi Nobutsuna asks something and can't answer himself, it will be a shame and a big loss. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Oda Yoshinobu's resolute attitude, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna had no choice but to give up. But in words, it has become more respectful. And although Oda Yoshinobu did not dare to accept Izumi Nobu Tsunade as a disciple, it was a daily thing to confirm and test each other.
Of course, the most important thing is the guidance of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna to Maeda Keiji and others, especially in military science, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, who has been fighting against the Takeda family all year round, can teach a lot of things, and even includes some tactics used by the Takeda army. Many of these were analyzed by Nagano Yemasa, plus some of his personal understanding.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
One day, Oda Yoshinobu was dealing with government affairs with Li Huamei and Tsuru as usual, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and then I heard Maeda Keiji's very excited voice, "My lord, Lord Ueizumi, they are back!" ”
"Oh? Finally back?! Please come in! Oda Yoshinobu said happily.
After a while, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and the others walked in, "I've seen Oda-sama!" ”
"Sit down!"
After Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and the others sat down, without waiting for Oda Yoshinobu to ask, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna told him about the experience of 1510.
Well, it's about the same history as Oda Yoshinobu knew, and along the way, Nobutsuna Ueizumi studied with Kitada Gukyo in Ise Province and instructed him in swordsmanship. Later, he traveled to Kyoto to meet with the imperial court and shogun, demonstrated martial arts in front of Yamashina Kentsugu and Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and taught shogun Shin-in-ryu swordsmanship.
Finally, in the Nara region of Yamato Province, he met Yagyu Soyan, a disciple of his fate, and taught him a new Yin Ryu. At the same time, worshipping under the Shangquan Shintsuna Gate with Yanagi Zongyan is also the future master of spearmanship Yinei of the Treasure Academy.
"Oda-sama, I went to Kyoto this time, and I also accepted another disciple below." Kamiizumi Nobutsuna said respectfully.
"Hehe, is that the one over here?" Oda Yoshinobu asked with a chuckle, he had discovered this strange swordsman from the time he had ever been. However, although he didn't know him, he found that this person's martial arts were only a little worse than Bai Mu Xingjiu.
"Exactly! This person's name is Marume Nagae, and he is a swordsman from Kyushu, and his strength is equal to that of Jingkan, and he is really a rare talent. Kamiizumi Nobutsuna smiled, obviously very satisfied with Marume Nagae.
"It turned out to be him......" Oda Yoshinobu thought to himself when he heard this. For Marume Nagae, Oda Yoshinobu is naturally very familiar, one of the few swordsmen in the Taige who can be recruited, although Oda Yoshinobu, who always played games with a modifier on at that time, didn't care much about this scum in his eyes, but after all, he saw a lot, and he was familiar.
And now, Oda Yoshinobu doesn't think so, well, although Marume Nagae is not a famous general in the eyes of Oda Yoshinobu, but he is a swordsman, and now he is confirmed by himself and respected by Kamiizumi Nobutsuna. So......
"I see." Oda Yoshinobu responded, then looked at Marumme Nagae and smiled, "I don't know if Your Excellency has an official now?" If not, would you like to join your family and become a retainer under you? ”
"My subordinates have seen my lord!" Marume Nagae is quite a bachelor, and as soon as Oda Yoshinobu's voice fell, he directly bowed to the ground and said loudly. Oda Yoshinobu was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect things to be so easy.
But fortunately, he reacted quickly, laughed and got up and helped Marume Nagahui, "Okay! Good! Good! ”
And Marume Nagae was also excited, obviously Oda Yoshinobu's actions just now made him slightly more loyal.
Hawkers, speaking of which, Marume Nagae will agree so happily, but thanks to the fact that along the way, Nobutsuna Ueizumi keeps introducing the benefits of becoming a retainer of Oda Yoshinobu. As for Oda Yoshinobu himself, he even blew it to the bottom of the world. Tsk, if you don't know, you still think that Nobutsuna Kamiizumi is a salesman of a headhunting company.
But then again, the more Aesthetra Nobutsuna bragged Oda Yoshinobu, wouldn't the negative impact of losing to Oda Yoshinobu be even lower? Well, this is just a malicious speculation, how could the honest Kamiizum-san have such an idea?
In May, with the help of Oda Yoshinobu, Nobutsuna Kamiizumi officially opened his dojos in Owari and Kyoto. According to the earlier plan, Keikane Kaida had already left for the Kyoto branch dojo to take office, while Kamiizumi Nobutsuna stayed at the main dojo in the Shitamachi of Kono Castle in Owari. However, it was obvious that there would be no disciples on his side for the time being, so what he did every day was to continue to hone his swordsmanship, sort out the swordsmanship of the new Yin Stream, and teach the swordsmanship, spearmanship, and military science of the retainers of the Oda family who came to visit.
Nakono Castle, the residence of Oda Yoshinobu.
"Tsk, I didn't expect this Kamiizumi Nobutsuna to really have some skills~" Oda Nobunaga said very casually with a cigar in his mouth, but although his attitude was a little casual, he could still hear the praise in his words.
"Hehe, that's of course, he is also one of the seven guns in Ueno, a high-ranking disciple under the Sword Saint." Oda Yoshinobu smiled, but the smugness on his face couldn't be stopped.
"Cut, look at your kid who is proud, people don't treat you as a retainer!" When Oda Nobunaga saw this, he immediately poured cold water, and he couldn't see Oda Yoshinobu's proud appearance.
"Hehe, it's true that Lord Kamiizumi didn't become a retainer of the family, but now he plays ......a much better role than a retainer," Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile.
"Well, speaking of which, your idea for this dojo is quite interesting, how did you come up with it?" Oda Nobunaga asked casually while sipping beer.
"Here, by here!" Oda Yoshinobu pointed to his head, and his expression became more and more sluggish.
"Get out! You bastard boy! Oda Nobunaga laughed and scolded.
Regarding the matter of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, Oda Nobunaga asked about it for a while, and then he didn't pay attention to it. After all, all his current attention is focused on Mino's side. The matter of winning over the local wealthy family did not go very smoothly, because Saito Ryuxing was more simple and direct than his father Saito Yoshiryu, and directly played high-pressure rule.
However, when Oda Nobunaga heard this, instead of being frustrated, he became even happier. Because he knew very well that such a rule could not last, and that what was needed was only an opportunity.
In June, there were no excellent seedlings sent from Kyoto, and Oda Yoshinobu specially comforted Kamiizumi Nobutsuna. Of course, Nobutsuna Kamiizumi didn't really care too much about this kind of thing, after all, it was just the beginning~ How can talented seedlings be so easy to find? Moreover, there are two happy events that also dilute the impact of this event.
For one, several of his wandering disciples came, Shingo Soji, Komagawa Reshin and Okuyama Koshige. These three people came specially after hearing the rumors of the new Yin Stream, and after a deep conversation with Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, they are willing to contribute to the inheritance of the new Yin Stream. Of course, they also want to find their own disciples in this way.
So, after discussions between Nobutsuna Kamiizumi and Yoshinobu Oda, branch dojos were opened in Kai Town, Kiyoshu Town, and Okazaki Town, respectively. For a while, the momentum of the new Yin Stream grew again, and countless civilians and ronins came to apprentice, and many samurai came to visit.
This situation made Kamiizumi Nobutsuna happy, but also more convinced that Oda Yoshinobu's plan could work, and the professor worked harder.
Second, his wife and children came. Hawkers, when he left Takeda's house to travel, it was naturally impossible for Kamiizumi Nobutsuna to bring his family. So his wife and children all stayed in Kai. Just yesterday, they came, and they were brought by the Takeda family.
"Lord Kamiizumi, congratulations on finding a way to inherit the new Yin Stream, but I've also heard about the recent momentum of the New Yin Stream on the Kai side~" A young man sat opposite Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and said with a smile.
"Haha~ Lord Muto is polite, this is all thanks to the help of Lord Oda, otherwise with a reckless man like this who only knows how to fight and make swords, where would he be able to get to this point?" Kamiizumi Nobutsuna said modestly, but the smug look on his face couldn't be hidden.
"Eh, it's good that Lord Kamiizumi calls you Kibei, and when you work for your family, your status is higher than that of you. And when you were in Minowa Castle in the past, you and your father were old friends. Now you say Muto-sama, how dare you be? "Young man, oh, it should be said that Muto Kibei said in a deep voice.
What Muto Kibei said was that his father defected to Nagano Yoshimasa in Ueno Minowa Castle after his father Yoshikiyo Murakami was killed in battle with the Takeda family. Later, at the recommendation of his friend Kansuke Yamamoto, he joined the Takeda family. During his time in Minowa Castle, his father became friends with Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and others, and the reason why Kamiizumi Nobutsuna later joined the Takeda family was also because of persuasion.
"Haha~ That's rude to be down there~" Kamiizumi Nobutsuna said with a smile, "I would like to thank Kibei for escorting his wife and children all the way here......"
"Where is Lord Shangquan, who is commensurate with the Xiuyuan brothers, how can this little help not help? And with the martial arts of the Xiuyuan brothers, even if there is no help from below, there will be no mistakes along the way~" Muto Kibei hurriedly said.
The two of them talked about the old for a long time, and then Kamiizumi Nobutsuna slowly restrained his smile and asked in a deep voice, "Then I don't know what is the important matter of Xibei coming here?" ”
It stands to reason that Muto Kibei is the adopted son of the Muto family, and according to his status in the Takeda family, he is just a general of the Ashigaru. But he is Takeda Shingen's attendant, serving by Takeda Shingen's side every day. How could such a person run to Owari for no reason, just to send Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's wife and children? Well, maybe his father has a good relationship with Nobutsuna Umiizumi, but even so, it only needs to send a team of soldiers, right?
Hearing this, Muto Kibei's expression also became serious, "Lord Kamiizumi, I can't hide it, but I came down this time, but I was ordered by the lord. On the one hand, it is indeed to congratulate Ueizumi-sama, and on the other hand, it is to let me observe Oda Nobunaga this person. ”
"Oh?!" When Kamiizumi Nobutsuna heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, obviously he thought of a rumor about the Takeda family.
Seeing Nobutsuna's expression, Muto Kibei knew that he had guessed something, so he nodded and whispered, "The battle of Kawanakajima two years ago has made the lord a little tired and impatient with the struggle with the Uesugi family. ”
"Hmm...... Nayoshinobu ......"
"Alas, I only hope that Prince Yoshinobu can change his mind. In fact, for the main family, the choice has been lost, and the Imagawa family is indeed the best choice. You also know that in the battle two years ago, the losses of our family were too great. ”
"Alas......" Hearing this, Nobutsuna Kamiizumi sighed and did not speak. After all, now he is no longer a retainer of the Takeda family, and he is not even a samurai. In that case, why bother with these things?
And Muto Kibei also saw that Kamiizumi Nobutsuna had no intention of talking about it, so he sighed twice, and directly turned back to the purpose of his visit. "So I'm here this time, hoping to learn about the Oda family from Ueizumi-sama's side, and I'd also like to ask Kamiizumi-sama to introduce me to you. If it really happens, then the Honke must understand the situation of the Oda family in order to determine whether it will be a war or a peace. ”
Hearing this, Shangquan Xingang was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Alas, since this is the case, I will help you once, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Xinxuan Gong at the beginning." ”
After finishing speaking, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was silent for a moment before speaking again, "In my opinion, if the Takeda family really wants to be the enemy of the Imagawa family, then it is best to ally with the Oda family. You also know the current momentum of the Oda family, although the Saito family, which has declined, does not know that it can still hold off the Oda family for a few years, but if there is no major change, sooner or later it will still be captured by the Oda family. ”
"At that time, the Oda family, which will be sitting on Ono, plus the Mikawa Matsudaira family, who has surrendered, will probably still be above the Takeda family." Kamiizumi Nobutsuna said in a deep voice.
Regarding Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's words, Muto Kibei did not express any dissatisfaction, but listened with an open face.
"In addition, in addition to His Royal Highness Oda, there is another person in the Oda family who needs special attention." Kamiizumi Nobutsuna used two specials, and his tone was also very solemn.
"Yoshinobu Oda?" Kibei Muto said immediately.
"Not bad!" Kamiizumi Nobutsuna nodded, "Oda-sama's martial arts are only stronger than the legend!" It is true that he defeated His Highness the Sword Saint, and some time ago, he was also defeated by his hands. And there are several brave men under his command......"
"Thank you for the reminder! Keep in mind below! After a long time, Muto Kibei thanked him.
