After eliminating the so-called "Shichishima people" and returning to Mie Castle, I officially married the second daughter of Murai Sadakatsu for Maeda Genyi; In addition, he also married the sister of Ikoma's parents for Tsubouchi Riding. The two of them were born in the same year. If it weren't for Ikoma's parents who took the initiative to mention that Tsubouchi Ritsuki should have taken a wife, I really didn't realize that he was a year older than me, and maybe he himself was. From the time we met, because of my relationship with Wasuka Masakatsu and Maeno Nagayasu on an equal footing, he treated me as a brother, and later learned iron cannons from me, trained under me, and became my direct retainer, all under my ear.

After receiving the title of the entire Zhaoming County, I increased his territory to 2,000 stone and promoted him to the rank of general of my family. At the same time, there were also four people who obtained the territory, such as Naotoro Ii, Shigeharu Takenaka, Kazutoyo Yamauchi, and Mitsui Takayasu, ranging from 3,000 to 1,000 koku respectively.

With the territory, everyone's relatives and subordinates came to take refuge. The three of Ii Valley, Kondo Yasuyo, Suzuki Shigetoki, and Suganuma Tadahisa, who were dissatisfied with Ono Michiyo's arbitrariness, heard that the old lord Ii family was famous in Ise and had obtained thousands of stone territory, and immediately came to take refuge by boat through the Atsumi Peninsula, anyway, their territory was only three or four hundred stone (for example, Kondo Yasuyo was 221 koku, a total of three hundred and sixty stone), according to history, they would rebel against the Ono family in the following year, and then take refuge in Tokugawa Ieyasu; Mitsui Takayasu's cousin, Fujido Tiger Gao, who entered the Fujido family as a son-in-law's adopted son, brought his wife, the eldest son Fujido Takanori, and the second son Fujido and Yoshichi (Gao Hu) to vote, he was originally from Kyogoku Takayoshi, but recently Kyogoku went into seclusion, and Kyogoku Takayoshi's eldest son Little Master (Kyogoku Takaji) was only four years old, and he lost his main family; In addition, Wasuka Masakatsu took in the son of the deceased, Inada Uemoto, who was another of his righteous brothers in history and the head of the Tokushima Domain's Wasuka family, and his father, Inada Sadasuke, was originally the right-hand man of the Iwakura Oda family, but was ordered to cut his stomach because of rumors about the head of the house, and the eldest brother Keimoto committed suicide on the third day in protest, and his grandfather Inada Shuryo then fell to Nobuyoshi and helped banish Nobuyan to Mino...... When the Iwakura family perished, his grandfather was killed in battle, and his second brother Keitsu went to join the Akabori clan, and died in the Battle of Hamada at the end of March of the same year, but because of his marriage contract with Nobuyo's daughter, he took refuge with Nobuken's Saito family, and recently Nobuyoshi suddenly left the Saito family alone and did not know where to go, and he lost his main family, so he brought his wife to his father's deceased.

At this time, even the most loyal people have to admit that the Saito family is about to perish. However, the Mino trio still insisted on resisting, probably because of the previous alliance between the Oda family and the Asai family. According to the entry, a large part of their territory will be "returned" to Saito Ryuko after the occupation of Mino, and Ryuxing is just a puppet of the Asai family to annex these three counties, so the territory of the three of them will definitely be removed. So, this is the moment of life and death for the family, and it must be insisted on no matter what.

None of this has anything to do with me, though. Meinong Raiders, I don't have a share. Instead of caring about Mino, it is better to care about Minami Omi Province around you.

Not long ago, the 67 articles of the Rokkaku clan drafted by Gamo Dingxiu and signed by 20 retainers, including Dingxiu, Hyunxiu, and Aochi Shigzuna father and son, were sent to Rokkaku Chengzhen and Yoshiji father and son, and its central content was to protect the retainers' territory and the retainers not to resist and protect. In essence, this can be seen as the British version of the Magna Carta, which aims to limit or even deprive the sovereign of certain powers. One can imagine how angry the Hexagon father and son would be when they saw this document! It's a pity that the situation is stronger than people.,Since Yoshiji's murder of Toji Kentoyo,The rule of the Rokkaku family can be said to have collapsed.,Although later, under the mediation of Hosokawa Fujitaka.,Guardian and the wealthy clan reached a harmony.,In fact, there is constant friction.。 When Ashikaga Yoshiki died, Ashikaga Yoshiaki left Minami Omi for Wakasa, and the wealthy clans made a fuss again, and finally made such a "reading power declaration". Kyogoku Takayoshi, who originally relied on the Rokkaku family to try to restore Omi, immediately became disheartened and went into seclusion when he saw this situation, which is also the reason why the Fujido family became a ronin and came to Ise to join Mitsui Takayasu.

Maybe I can take this opportunity to strengthen ties with Gamo and Goto, and make some preparations in advance for Nobunaga's trip to Kamiraku. Although the former alliance has disappeared due to the death of General Yoshiki, I still maintain a certain degree of cooperation and tacit understanding with the two companies. Coupled with Seki Katsunobu and Yoshiyuki Sawaki as the sons-in-law of the Gamo family, I have no problem reaching a new alliance with the Gamo family. Also, as far as I know, the in-laws of the Gamo family, Kamo Tsuru Chiyo (Fuxiu), and my family's Mitsu were born in the same year, and if they can get married, this alliance will be even stronger.

I had this idea a few years ago, but if I wanted to make it happen, I needed an opportunity and Nobunaga's approval. Historically, Gamo Fuhide married Nobunaga's daughter, but that was after the capture of Minami Omi, and if I had the opportunity to win over before the subjugation, it would not be difficult to achieve this family affair.

It is natural for the father to arrange the marriage of his daughter with full authority in this era. After a few years of experience, I have long understood that it is necessary to follow the local customs, which is most suitable for all parties. The Gamo family is an extremely outstanding person, but he will not be wronged by Mitsu. If you want to say whether you can be worthy, according to the point of view of this Fei era, Mitsu is a little unworthy of others. First of all, Mitsu is only the adopted daughter of the Kira family, and her mother is still a side room, while Tsuru Chiyo is the sister-in-law of the family; Second, because I have always doted on Mitsu and rarely restrained her, her surname is not lawless, at least not gentle, virtuous. Two nannies and maids, very troubled by her behavior.

She likes to go to the beach the most, and when she was still in Umezu Castle, she often ran into the sea in a kimono and wet the hem of her clothes. The nannies and maids had neither her courage nor her agility, and they could not catch them if they wanted to, so they could only jump to their feet on the shore. When she had had enough, the maids were almost going to be splashed half wet by her, and the nanny had no choice but to use Yujia to pressure her:

"It's unbelievable to go to the sea in a kimono! When you go back, be sure to tell Madame! ”

"Yuxu, you're so annoying!"

"Annoyance, too...... Always ask me to say the same thing, the princess should reflect on it! ”

Of course, when you go back, you will inevitably be criticized, but the next day, caterpillars, cockroaches and other things often appear on the clothes of nanny Yuxu...... When Nobunaga's army entered Kita-Ise the year before, she had just moved to Mie Castle, and since she hadn't seen me in a while, she asked where she was, and came to me right away. At that time, Nobunaga was occupying the main castle tower to hold a military meeting, and there was a group of Nobunaga's attendants guarding outside, so she dared to make a face at me outside the assessment room, and she was forced by several attendants with knives and had no intention of being afraid.

But the people respected the princess of the Triplex because she loved to fight and was generous to the poor. This is somewhat similar to Nana's childhood.

Because I decided that Gamo Fuxiu, I even rejected Mori's proposal to become his eldest son, Mori Kolon, on the grounds that Mizu was too stubborn. His son-in-law was a fierce general in history, and he achieved a great achievement in attacking the Amakura family's Tetsuyama Castle in the first battle, but it was precisely because he was too brave that he was won in this initial battle because he went too deep into the enemy group...... Even if history has changed, but the country is easy to change, and the surname is difficult to change, maybe any war will be just as reckless, I don't want Mizu to be a widow at such a young age.

The unreliable is the Kitabatake family, who actually proposed marriage to the house governor Kitabatake. Maybe he had some plans, but I certainly wouldn't agree. This will only make Nobunaga suspicious, and Kitabatake Gufang is just a transitional family governor, and if he really wants to marry him, when Kitabatake Guyu (Oda Nobuo) grows up, it is very likely that he will be buried for the Kitabatake family...... In this way, he successively rejected the important ministers of the family and the wealthy families, but it made the people in the family have some doubts.

One day I stayed in Yujia's room, and after really tossing her, she asked about it quietly.

"Mitsu is about to turn twelve years old, and His Royal Highness has not let her get married, do you have any plans?"

"I have some plans." I replied casually, my hands restlessly caressing her breasts.

“…… That's fine, after all, the concubine is old!" Yuga groaned and muttered.

"It's only two years older than me, and Mrs. Ji Nai is a few years older than her lord, so she still gets along well?"

"But Mrs. Genai died last year, and she is not yet forty years old...... The concubine is already thirty, but seeing that the eldest daughter has a good home, and His Royal Highness has someone to serve in place of the concubine, even if she dies, she will be blinded. Yuga sighed.

"Why do you suddenly talk about such a thing?" I stopped, "It's been so hard lately, that's why you're thinking about it, right?" Really, even if it's my room, you don't have to clean it up yourself! ”

"I just want to do something for Your Highness myself......" Yu Jia Buyi took my hand and put it back on her nipples.

"By the way, when you just said that there is a home, instead of serving and so on, are you referring to Mitsu? Really, how could you think that...... She's our daughter. ”

"Actually, the relationship is not very close, and the age is also appropriate...... Your Highness has been so fond of her since she was a child, she will definitely be very affectionate! ”

All right! The adoptive father and daughter who are not related by blood, the relationship is indeed not close, the eldest son of the eldest son of the Yuan of the Changzong Department, who married the daughter of Ishiya Laichen in history, his own cousin; His younger brother Sheng is even more outrageous, marrying his brother's biological daughter; And that's not all, it's not uncommon for biological fathers and daughters to get married, half-siblings or half-siblings; As for age, in this era, Mitsu is indeed very "suitable" as a side room...... Sending her own daughter to her husband's arms, Yu Jia is indeed "virtuous" enough.

Perhaps, it is really time to settle the matter of Mitsu earlier. I dare say that Yu Ka absolutely mentioned this to Mitsu, she and I used to be very close, and lately she has been almost a little wanton, and several times she has been grinding behind my back with her newly developed small breasts. This trend cannot be encouraged.

"I've already planned for Mitsu's affairs, but it's definitely not going to be included in the room. If you want to serve, you're doing a good job! ”

"Really? …… His Royal Highness is really considerate when he says this. Yuga was delighted.

And I soon understood that a woman in her thirties is by no means old, but the most mature and wonderful age.

……，…… I made a rare return to Komaki Castle to visit Nobunaga and participate in the regular assessment in May.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi is also back. He is at the forefront of Nishimino and not only needs to resist Mamoru Ando and others, but also keeps an eye on the movements of the Asai family.

"Recently, the Asai family's strategy for Nishimino has been reduced, and most of their energy has been spent on Minami Omi, and I heard that it seems that there is some secret agreement with the Goto family." He reported to Nobunaga at the appraisal meeting.

"Monkey, thank you for your hard work. When you capture Mino, you will be promoted to the rank of general of your family! Nobunaga said with a rare reassurance.

"Your Majesty has thanked the lord for his great kindness!" Hearing Nobunaga's promise, Kinoshita Hideyoshi was excited. It has been eight years since he became a bushido, and he is finally about to step into the ranks of important ministers.

"However, the most important thing is the strategy of Seminon. What do you think about this? Nobunaga looked around the assessment room, his gaze faintly falling on Takigawa Kazuyi.

Takigawa Kazuyi seemed to have made up his mind, leaned over and saluted, "Your Majesty does have a little idea. ”

"If you have any ideas, just say it!" Nobunaga nodded approvingly.

"Actually, the difficulty in attacking the Mino trio is in the alliance with the Asai family," Takigawa Kazuyi glanced at me, "When I formed an alliance with the Asai family, I promised to return the three counties of Ikeda, Ohno, and Yasuhachi, which were promised to return to Ryuko, which happened to be the territory of the Mino trio, and because of this, the Mino trio tried their best to resist...... It is only necessary to ensure that the three of them are safe and secure, and the subordinates are sure to persuade the three to join their own family! ”

"However, in this case, the alliance with the Asai family is about to break." Niwa Nagahide voiced his concerns. After all, he was the one who presided over the covenant in the first place.

"His Royal Highness Niwa is too worried. As long as Mino is taken, plus Owari and Ise, what can the Asai family do even if they have an opinion! Shibata Katsuya said proudly.

His words were very appetizing to Nobunaga.

"That's right, Kwonroku's words make a lot of sense," Nobunaga said approvingly, but turned his gaze to me, "Xuanjing, you finalized the terms of the covenant at the beginning, and now you don't have any opinions?" ”

Actually, I can already see that Nobunaga's abnormal "Ming Cook" today is probably due to his own plans. If I'm not mistaken, Takigawa Kazuyi's opinion was at his behest. As long as I push the boat along the river and take part of the responsibility of tearing up the covenant for Nobunaga, I will naturally be able to win Nobunaga's favor. However, I was always a little speechless. I also know that this is a foregone conclusion, but I don't want to be ruined by me, the one who made the terms of the covenant.

This is a bit hypocritical, but I can only avoid it in this way - as a way to maintain my own positive moral image of being affectionate and trustworthy!
