In the assessment room of the city in the village, after Nabeshima's voice lagged behind, there was silence in the assessment room. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone's eyes were focused on Naoshige Nabeshima, some were shocked, some were puzzled, some were sneering, and some were contemplative. Obviously, Naoshige's words managed to attract everyone's attention.

"Naomao, what are you talking about...... Isn't that an exaggeration? After half a ring, Ryuzoji Takashin asked in a deep voice. Well, that is, Naoshige's status in the Ryuzoji family is very unusual, otherwise, I'm afraid that he would have been thrown out by Ryuzoji Takanobu as nonsense and gossip.

"Lord, it's not an exaggeration at all!" Nabeshima Naoshige's eyes of the Ryuzoji Takanobu said in a deep voice, and then looked around at the crowd, and said with a serious expression, "Maybe all of you adults think that you are alarmist, after all, the Maori family, Uesugi family, and Takeda family jointly attack the Oda family, even if they win, they will definitely fall into the situation of the Three Kingdoms scuffle." And if it fails, the Oda family will also pay a terrible price, and they may not be able to recover for several years. ”

"Yes, I think so, I think that the Yingren Rebellion was also a war that affected the general trend of the world, but in fact, the entire war did not affect Kyushu at all." Ryuzoji Nobushu nodded and said, agreeing with Nabeshima's speculation about them.

Hearing this, Nabeshima Naoshige shook his head and said, "My lord, my lords, although there is a precedent for the Onin Rebellion, but this war between the shogunate and the Oda family is very different from the Onin Rebellion, so the family can't take the past example to make a choice." ”

In this regard, Ryuzoji Takanobu and the others did not say anything, but quietly waited for Naoshige Nabeshima's next words. And Nabeshima Naoshige didn't plan to stop, but continued, "My lord, my subordinates have been studying the information on the rise of the Oda family, and found that the biggest difference between the Oda family and other forces is not because they have a famous general like Oda Yoshinobu who is unparalleled in the world, nor how many capable people Oda Nobunaga or his retainers have, but because the Oda family attaches great importance to the economy, so they are rich, very rich!" ”

"You may be very confused about this, because in our eyes, food is the most important thing. But money can buy many, many powerful weapons and equipment, and it can also fortify the city and make it stronger. It was also because of money that the Oda family was able to assemble a huge army that was completely standing and composed. Naoshige Nabeshima said loudly as he looked at his master with a disdainful look on his face.

The most powerful thing about the Oda family is money, and in addition, it occupies the most prosperous territory in the world, so as long as it defeats the shogunate, then it can quickly recover with the power of money. And at that time, after there is no Maori, Uesugi, and Takeda families, who in the world will be able to stop the Oda family? It is conceivable that in order to unify the world faster, they will definitely divide the daimyo in a big way, and those daimyo who supported the Oda family in this battle will undoubtedly become the biggest beneficiaries. Nabeshima said in a deep voice.

"Will the Oda family be able to defeat the shogunate? You must know that he is facing a large army of Maori, Uesugi, Takeda, and Ichizomune. Ryuzoji Shinshu asked in a deep voice.

"Not necessarily, even judging from the current situation, the shogunate army still has the upper hand!" Naoshige Nabeshima shook his head and said, but then he turned to the crowd and asked in a deep voice, "But even if the shogunate army wins, will they really continue to fight for power in Kinai like the Onin Rebellion, and eventually sit back and watch other forces rise?" ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Nobuzhou and the others of Longzoji Temple were silent. At the first time, the answer that popped into their minds was yes, because history told them that the overlords of Shangluo had always done so. But before the words could be spoken, they swallowed them into their stomachs, because they knew that this time and that time.

Strictly speaking, although the Ryuzoji family has become the top powerful force in Kyushu, even Ryuzoji Takanobu has to admit that they are just a bun of dirt buns compared to the daimyo of China, Kanto and other places, let alone compared to Kinai. But even so, they understood that the shogunate today was completely different from the shogunate at the time of the Onin War.

At that time, although the shogunate had already begun to decline, in fact, the shogunate at that time still had a considerable part of the power. But now? I am afraid that no matter how optimistic people are, they will not have much hope for the revival of the shogunate. In other words, in the eyes of the vast majority, it was only a matter of time before the new shogunate replaced the current Ashikaga shogunate.

In this case, will the three Maori families still fight each other in Kinai?

"Yes and no! The governors of the three Maori families are all rare heroes in the world, and they naturally know what the occupation of Kinai can bring them, but they will also know what they will face once they occupy Kinai. Whether it is Mori, Takeda, or Uesugi, any one side occupying Kinai will definitely attract the attack of the other two. Nabeshima kept talking.

"According to the opinion of their subordinates, the three Mori families will definitely not make the mistakes of Yamana, Hosokawa and others in the past, and once they defeat the Oda family, they will definitely do a good job in the distribution of Kinai in the shortest possible time, and then want to expand elsewhere. At that time, the whole of Kyushu will definitely be annexed by the Maori family. Nabeshima said in a deep voice.

After Nabeshima finished speaking, the assessment room fell silent again, and everyone bowed their heads to ponder the words of Naoshige Nabeshima, after all, whether they stand in line or not in this war, or which side they stand on, it is a difficult choice for the Ryuzoji family, and it is also a choice that determines their future fate.

And such a decision is obviously not so easy to make, although Nabeshima Naoshige analyzed for a long time, but in the face of Ryuzoji Takanobu's inquiry, he couldn't give an answer. Oda? Gross profit? It's not an easy choice. And the many retainers couldn't give Ryuzoji Takanobu an accurate answer. Some people think it's good to take refuge in Maori, some people think it's good to go to the Oda family, but of course the vast majority of the retainers are still silent, perhaps in their hearts, they still feel that staying neutral and waiting for the opportunity is the best choice.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ryuzoji Takanobu to make a decision after hesitating for a few months. But obviously, Ashikaga Yoshito Showa Ankokuji Huiqiong will not give him this opportunity.

"Longxin, are you still hesitating? So what exactly are you hesitating about? Don't you want to be loyal to the shogunate? Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked with an unkind expression. Although it has improved a lot, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is still the same Ashikaga Yoshiaki, as the so-called country is easy to change. He was able to show a very kind attitude before, and he was already Ashikaga Yoshiaki to give face, but now, when he and the envoy of the Maori family came to Hizen in person, Ryuzoji Takanobu was still hesitant? This is obviously something that Ashikaga Yoshiaki can't bear.

On the other side, Ankokuji Huiqiong was persuading bitterly, "Lord Ryuzoji, do you want to help the Oda family?" Don't you know Oda Nobunaga's ambitions? A person who can use the world's martial arts as a seal, and a person who can claim to be the sixth heavenly demon king, how can it be that there is a Daoming Jun?! And look at the policies he implements, once the Oda family opens, do you really think that he will do any good to the Ryuzoji family?! Impossible! It will definitely take back all the rights! ”

And Oda Nobunaga only trusts Oda Yoshinobu in this life, and Oda Yoshinobu is known as Shura, not because his martial arts are like ghosts and gods, but because he is cruel and murderous, lustful and perverted to get such a name! Look at Ise, Kita, Kobe, Seki, Nagano and other forces obviously surrendered Oda Yoshinobu, but they didn't get a single stone's territory. In the opinion of the little monk, if the Oda family wants to attack Kyushu, it must be Oda Yoshinobu who will come out. At that time, even if the Ryuzoji family chooses to support the Oda family early, it will definitely be eliminated by Oda Yoshinobu for various reasons. ”

"According to the family's intelligence, every time Oda Yoshinobu occupies a country, the first priority is to eliminate the most powerful local wealthy clans, because only in this way will his rule over the country not be strongly hindered." Ankokuji Huiqiong kept talking, and all kinds of negative information about the Oda family came as soon as she opened her mouth. Obviously, he had already made many drafts before he went on the mission.

"Really?!" Ryuzoji Takanobu looked at Ankokuji Huiqiong in disbelief and asked, As for the Oda family, he also mostly learned about it from rumors heard from various sources.

"How could the little monk deceive His Royal Highness the Dragon Temple?!" Ankokuji Huiqiong smiled and said, "In addition, His Royal Highness the Shogun and the little monk have come to Kyushu this time, not only for you, but also for Aso, Sagara, Shimazu, and Ito are all loyal ministers of the shogunate, and at this time, they should dedicate their strength. ”

Well, although Ankokuji Huiqiong's smile was bright and her tone was gentle, Ryuzoji Takanobu heard a threat from it. Of course, these words are actually a threat, will Shimazu, Aso, Sagara and Ito join the shogunate army? Ryuzoji Takanobu didn't know, but Ryuzoji Takanobu believed that if he didn't join the shogunate army, then only a shogunate crusade order was needed, and Aso was very willing to cooperate with the Maori family to attack the Ryuzoji family. This situation is absolutely a catastrophe for the dragon temple family that has not yet been completely stable in the territory.

Ryuzoji Takanobu's expression was ugly, for him who was complacent, Ankokuji Huiqiong's attitude all showed that in the eyes of the Mori family, the Ryuzoji family was still just a weak strength at the mercy of the Mori family, even if the Mori family was at war with the Oda family at this time, he still didn't put the Ryuzora family in his eyes.

"Master Ankokuji, if you can really convince the daimyos such as Aso and Sagara, Ryuzoji is willing to obey the orders of the shogunate. Otherwise, although the family is willing to support the shogunate, they really can't rest assured that the territory is secure. Naoshige Nabeshima saw Ryuzoji Takanobu's expression, and hurriedly said to Ankokuji Huiqiong. He couldn't know much more about his half-brother, and if that fiery temper broke out, the Ryuzoji family would be unlucky.

"What does His Royal Highness Ryuzoji mean......" Ankokuji Huiqiong glanced at Naoshige Nabeshima in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Ryuzoji Takanobu again.

"As Naoshige said, as long as Master Ankokuji can convince the other daimyo in Kyushu, then the Ryuzoji family will naturally obey the shogunate's orders."
