Chapter 478: The Gifu Conference of the Oda Family
Just when the Takeda family was arguing about the establishment of the head of the family, there was a lot of quarrel, except for Akiyama Nobuyo, the four major army commanders resigned and did not do it, and Takeda Nobuhu was sick in bed.
As for the Oda family, Gifu Castle was not a peaceful scene.
After the funeral of Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobutada had no objection and inherited the family governor.
However, with the sudden death of Nobunaga, the adjustment of the strategic direction of the Oda family, the strategy of domestic policy, and the decision to redistribute the power of the Oda family after the death of the three generals Niwa Nagahide, Sakuma Nobumori, and Naomasa Tsuka.
Niwa Nagahide's current control of the Oda family's Kita Omi Sawa Yamashiro, as well as the Wakasa Province territory, Niwa Nagahide's sister-in-law Niwa Nagashige was only five years old after his death, and he will definitely not be able to inherit the family business, and his subordinate authority will be in charge of the family's territory, which needs to be handed over to someone else's name.
Sakuma Nobumori is the Oda family in Owari Shigetomi, the Owari Sakuma clan, distributed in the Imperial Weapon House, near Yamazaki Castle, a total of four clans.
The Sakuma clan was a wealthy clan at the junction of the Owari Mikawa River, and its location was very important as a buffer between the Imagawa and Oda families.
Sakuma Marita, the former head of the Sakuma family, as a retainer of the Oda family, was stationed at Marone in the outpost battle of the Battle of Sakuma, and died at the hands of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the striker of the Imagawa family.
After the death of Sakuma Moritge, the governor of the Sakuma clan was succeeded by Sakuma Nobumori of another clan.
Now that Sakuma Nobumori is dead, the governor of the Sakuma clan must be re-elected.
As for Naomasa Tsukasa, needless to say, he was born in a red-clothed mother, and in one fell swoop he was promoted to the mountain castle of Kinai, the guardian of the Yamato two countries, or the surname of the Harada clan, a famous family in Kyushu.
Therefore, it is also called Naomasa Harada.
When Nobunaga took Lan Yu, he acted as a royal priest to show his trust.
Historically, it was as the general of the Oda family's Legion, led by Akechi Mitsuhide, Araki Murashige. Hosokawa Fujitaka, suppressed Honganji Temple in Kinai.
In the process of deliberating on the evaluation of the reclassification of the three schools.
Oda Nobutada. Hidetaka Kawajiri and others. Watching, Shibata Katsuie, Akechi Mitsuhide, Takigawa Kazuyi. Hideyoshi Hashiba, Ikeda Hengxing, several legion-level ministers. There was a lot of noise in the hall.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was wearing samurai costumes, it would almost be thought that the thieves were sharing the spoils.
During the meeting, Oda Nobutada struggled to maintain it, as well as the Oda family. Nobuhiro Oda. Oda Nobubo, under the mediation of Oda Mashige, the important ministers finally reluctantly reached an agreement.
Shibata Katsuya, Akechi Mitsuhide is undoubtedly the biggest winner.
In the division of Niwa Nagahide's domain, Shibata Katsuie gained power over Wakasa Province in place of his own family, and strengthened the power of the Hokuriku Army.
And Niwa Nagahide's sister-in-law, Niwa is long. As well as the Niwa family, Sawa Yamashiro are all assigned. Hideyoshi Hashiba was paired with him and became the force of the North Omi Army.
The ownership of the governor of the Sakuma family was inherited by Sakuma Moriji with the strong support of the Shibata Katsuie.
This is also the most controversial part of the evaluation meeting.
Originally, according to the Oda family, the Sakuma family governor was passed on to Sakuma Nobumori's son, the twenty-year-old Sakuma Nobuei.
However, under the vigorous intervention of the Shibata Katsuie, his brother-in-law, Sakuma Moriji, inherited the position of Sakuma family governor.
Sakuma Moriji is also one of the four clans of Chita Sakuma, in addition to his marriage to Shibata Katsuie's sister, his eldest son Sakuma Shengshige, also under the Shibata Katsuie's Hokuriku Army, is a young warrior of the Oda family, known as the Oni Xuanfan.
The third son, Katsumasa, succeeded the Shibata family, changed his name to Shibata Katsumasa, and became the adopted son of the Shibata Katsumasa, so Sakuma, who was a brother, was also regarded as a public treatment in the Shibata family.
It was precisely because of this that Shibata Katsuya strongly supported Sakuma Moriji to the throne and became his powerful arm in the Oda family.
The Oda family's army, historically, was led by Naomasa Tsukashi and Sakuma Nobumori, but these two men died in the battle of Nagashino. …,
Therefore, those who can take on this important task are counted and counted, and only Wise Mitsuhide is qualified.
Akechi Mitsuhide inherited the Naomasa of Tsuki, took charge of the mountain castle, guarded the Yamato country, and received the official position of the imperial court from the five subordinates and Hinata Mamoru, and changed his surname to only Ren, calling it only Hinata Mamoru.
Akechi Mitsuhide will serve as the commander of the Oda family's Army, along with Hosokawa Fujitaka, Tsutsui Shunkei, Matsunaga Hide, Araki Murashige, and Wakae Three other great daimyo forces in.
As for Takigawa Kazuki, because of its right wing army in the Battle of Nagashino, it was directly defeated by Li Xiao, which led to the tight battle of the Oda army, and there was no substantial gain.
However, in order to balance the power of the four major legions, under the leadership of Nobutada, the Kitabatake family in Minami Ise was assigned to Takigawa Ichiyi and Ritsu and served as a surveillance officer.
So the Takigawa Ichiyi Army was also directly promoted to the Ise Army.
After the division of the various forces, among the retainers of the Oda family, there were both unhappy and dissatisfied.
Among them, the one who has benefited the most is undoubtedly Shibata Katsuya, Akechi Mitsuhide.
Compared with the historical Cheongshu Conference, the current Hashiba Hideyoshi is too weak, and his territory is only 100,000 koku in Kita-Omi, and he is not yet the commander of the army that commanded several countries at the time of the Honnoji Change, and he has not eradicated the name of the rebel minister Akechi Mitsuhide.
Therefore, above the meeting, the voice is smaller, and as the elder of the Oda family, the first major army of the Oda family, the real power of the Hokuriku Army, Shibata Katsuie, and the wise Mitsuhide, who has a background in the imperial court and has the best talents, won the greatest support at this time and became the winner of this division of interests.
After the division of this domain was completed, the Four Heavenly Kings of Oda, together with Oda Nobutada and others, re-discussed the strategic direction of the Oda family and the major internal affairs.
After Nobunaga's death, the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, which had been suppressed, and the direction of the Maori family, the overlord of Sanyo Mountain, all came with news of abnormal movements.
This made the entire Oda family extremely uneasy.
In order to strengthen their control over and the continuous oppression of Mino by the Takeda family's Hida Echichu Army, the Oda family unanimously decided to build a new city near Minami-Omi Kannonji Castle.
The peaceful paradise has always been the dream of the late governor Oda Nobunaga, so it is called Azuchi Castle, and in the future it will replace Gifu Castle and become the main castle of the Oda family.
Azuchi Castle is located between Akechi Mitsuhide Honjo Castle and Sakamoto Castle, Hashiba Hideyoshi Castle and Nagahama Castle, and is in the middle of the two armies.
Oda Nobutada listened to this decision and adopted it. At this moment, although Nobunaga died, the Oda family still had great financial resources. and strong appeal. Therefore, this Azuchi Castle, which was built on the shore of Lake Biwa, was also used as the new governor of the Oda family in the future.
However, Azuchi Castle is being built, and it is only a temporary measure, after the Takeda family and the Oda family have fought together this time. All of them are seriously injured, and they can't fight again in a short time.
But now the Mori family is riding on the new defeat of the Oda family. The opportunity of Nobunaga's death, showing an aggressive momentum, united with Honganji. Directly put his hand into. Become a fierce rival in front of the Oda family.
The old man of the Harima Daimyo Kotera family, who came to Gifu Castle alone in the dark sky like water, expressed to them his desire to use the power of the Oda family to fight and constantly invade the Mori family in Harima.
For the Maori family, which is a big force sitting on the ten countries, in the eyes of the Oda family. This is a fierce rival to the Takeda family, and the Mori Yuan was blowing a strong wind in the Seto Inland Sea back then. His name is still in awe when it is mentioned today.
Now his grandson, Mori Terumoto, wants to insert the three-star flag of the Mori family into Kyoto, and such ambitions and ambitions are really not easily resistible.
In the military discussion of the retainers' group, all the retainers of the Oda family passed the buck to each other, not wanting to take over the burden of being the enemy of the Maori family, and in the end, only the most unremarkable Hashiba Hideyoshi, but at this time he recommended himself to Oda Nobutada, and volunteered to do this thankless errand at the moment. …,
Seeing this, Oda Nobutada was extremely emotional, and ordered Yushiba Hideyoshi to be in charge of all affairs in Sanyang and Sanyin.
Seeing that Yushiba Hideyoshi got this errand to fight against the Maori family, all the generals of the Oda family secretly laughed, thinking that he was asking for his own hardships and that there would be no good fruit to eat in the future.
Only Yushiba Hideyoshi was full of confidence, thinking that this was precisely his great opportunity in Oda's family.
After that, Oda Nobutada introduced the black sky like water to Hashiba Hideyoshi, and asked this person to assist him in preparing for the battle of Sanyo San'in.
While the Oda family was discussing internally, the envoy who had gone to the Takeda family to negotiate came back.
"Report to the lord, the Takeda family has decided to exchange the bones of the right prince for the main family, and bring back His Royal Highness Nobuo."
"Well, that's good." Oda Nobutada nodded slightly, he tried his best to imitate his father's words and deeds, trying to set a majestic example to the retainers, but he was still a little behind.
"And," the messenger added, "there is a great dispute among the Takeda family over the succession of one of the sons of Takeda Katsuyori and one of them to Nishina Morinobu. ”
Shibata Katsuya smiled and said, "Lord, this is the Takeda family's own chaos, what is the specific situation?" ”
The messenger said: "According to our detailed report at the Takeda family, because Takeda Shinhu insisted on going his own way and wanted to establish Renke Shengxin as the family governor, and the old Li Xiao of the Takeda family, Li Xiao has now resigned from the position of the old man of the Takeda family, as well as the post of the general of the Hida Echichu Army, handed over the family business to the eldest son, and decided to retire himself!" ”
"What, Li Xiao has retired, can this news be confirmed?"
Shibata Katsuya was full of color, Huo Ran stood up, and Akechi Mitsuhide, Hashiba Hideyoshi, and Takikawa Kazuki all showed extremely concerned looks.
This Oda Four Heavenly Kings, each of them is at war with Li Xiao, and they are all suffering in his hands, and when they heard that Li Xiao has retired, how can such a thing not attract their attention.
"The specifics are not clear, I think the Takeda family will definitely keep it, but we must take into account the face of Takeda Xinhu, whether Li Xiao will officially retire is unknown, or this is his means of retreating, maybe it's not clear." The messenger replied.
"You must pay close attention to Li Xiao's movements," Shibata Katsuya said in a deep voice: "In addition to the lord in my life, Li Xiao is also a person I fear, if he really retires, the Takeda family is self-destructing the Great Wall, the bird is not exhausted The bow is hidden, the rabbit is not dead and the dog has been cooked, if Li Xiao is not there, who will be our opponent in the Takeda family, and it can be destroyed in one fell swoop, this will be a great opportunity for my Quan Liu to enter the Hokuriku!" ”
Hearing that Shibata Katsuya did not hide his jealousy of Li Xiaozhi so much, Hashiba Hideyoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide and others did not show the slightest shameful smile, but all looked like they were deeply impressed.
