Through Ishikawa Shumasa's explanation, the Oda family's genealogy retainers knew about the predicament encountered by their ally Matsudaira Ieyasu, and the Kikuichi clan that suddenly appeared in the middle of the country gathered more than 30,000 people.

Oda Nobunaga didn't make a specific statement on the spot, but just talked about some scenes where he was tired from the boat and car and paid more attention to rest, so he first sent Ishikawa Shumasa to the annex to rest, and when Ishikawa Shumasa left anxiously, he said: "The princes have heard it very clearly, what do you think?" ”

"Send troops to help! We must also send troops as soon as possible, and we must not let this chrysanthemum annex the country of Mikawa! Ikeda said firmly.

Kawajiri Hidetaka hesitated, "What about the war in Mino?" ”

"This ......" Ikeda Hengxing scratched his forehead and said helplessly: "Probably only let it go!" ”

Immediately, some samurai stood up and raised objections, especially the bee house Yoritato who was in charge of attacking Mino strongly opposed the intervention in Mikawa Country: "Although the chaos in Mikawa Country is in great crisis, if in the final analysis, it is because of the anger of the Matsudaira Tibetan Palace, which has caused several forces to join forces to sanction the Matsudaira family. ”

"The Hyogo Hall of the Bee House is serious! I thought this was a good opportunity to interfere in the Mikawa country, the former lord often sighed the bitterness of losing the territory of Nishi-Mikawa when he was alive, and now the Mikawa country was gained and lost in the hands of the Matsudaira Tibetan Temple, this is a good opportunity for my Oda family to make a big move into Nishi-Mikawa, and when will I stay at this time? "Sasa Narumasa is a knowledgeable samurai, and it's very fashionable to drag a few words from the Ming Kingdom books.

Masashi Sakai, who is also from Mino, questioned: "According to the meaning of the Uchizosuke Temple. Laying down Nishimikawa is just an easy move, right? It's just that I don't know what the Uchizosuke Hall has to deal with the military situation of these 30,000 chrysanthemums. And how to explain to his ally Matsudaira Kuratoden? ”

Sasa Narumasa was speechless when asked. The many young samurai who originally supported the aid of the Matsudaira family were also a little overwhelmed, and Mizuno Nobumoto, who was born in Nishimikawa, complained dissatisfiedly: "It's not right to say that, the Kikuichi Tsuri who ravaged Mikawa is not only a samurai, but also a terrifying one who has always been a samurai, these believers are not samurai and do not follow the rules, they may endanger the safety of my Oda family at any time!" If we don't do it at this time, Mikawa will continue to be a big cancer in the future, and it may become a major tumor in Tokaido. ”

"Shimono Moriden is right! Nakaga has always been so powerful. Can't you let there be a Kaga Ichikozong in Tokaido! Mizuno Tadamitsu's positive speech brought the situation back again.

The next discussion involved most of the samurai in the retainers, and they can be roughly divided into two factions: those who advocate continuing the Mino strategy and those who advocate the Mikawa strategy, the samurai who advocate not fighting Mikawa think that they will fall into a quagmire if they fight Mikawa in this way, and the samurai who advocate fighting Mikawa think that they will face a serious crisis if they do not move at this time.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi is one of the members who advocated fighting the Mikawa faction, but his opinion was completely different from Sasa Narumasa's, and he was smart enough not to make a fuss about the land of Mikawa, but chose to take the actions of the Ise Nagashima Ichijo sect as an example, and if the uncontrolled expansion of the Isa clan continued, two huge gathering places of Ichijo sect believers would be formed on the east and west sides of Owari Province.

At that time, the monks of Ise and Mikawa Ichijo came to Owari to preach. Whether to accept or reject will become a thorny question, and if you choose to accept it, you also need to consider the crisis that Matsudaira Ieyasu has been caught in. Ishiyama Honganji Temple would love to see Tokaido become a replica of Hokuriku Ichijo Jong Dynasty, after all, Tokaido has more developed agriculture and richer territory.

If they refuse, it will be to make a pretext for the Nagashima Ichijangsu and Mikawa Ichijangsu, and many believers on both sides will have an excuse to attack the Owari Oda family at the same time, and how sure the Oda family will be able to withstand the attack from both sides is still a serious problem, if the turmoil caused by the Mikawa Ichisho sect cannot be eliminated, there will definitely be a hard life for the Oda family in the future.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi's clear and novel approach immediately attracted the attention of many samurai with outstanding intelligence, and Oda Nobunaga picked up a folding fan and gently tapped the floor, saying: "The Matsudaira Tibetans are allies of the family and must be supported, the family does not intend to interfere too deeply with Mikawa, Mikawa has always been a must to interfere, but the Matsudaira Tibetans should be given a chance to show their determination, Kikuichi said otherwise." ”

Oda Nobunaga's seemingly incompatible, but the spirit of the samurai present was shocked, Kinoshita Hideyoshi's eyes flashed and he tried to understand the meaning of this sentence, and said secretly: "The intention of the lord should still be based on the strategy of Mino, and the suppression of Mikawa is limited to suppressing the flood that has always been ...... Could it be that he hopes that the Songdaira Tibetan Temple will be cleaned up? Kikuichi ......"

There are a lot of cranky samurai, Shibata Katsuya held his chin with one hand and gently stroked his mustache and thought: "This Kikuichi looks like he has a lot of ambitions!" The genealogy of the Matsudaira family led by the Okusa Matsudaira family and the Sakurai Matsudaira family, the former Mikawa Kira clan generals led by Arakawa Kai Mamoru and Nishio Oki Mamoru , and the Ichiyi Ichichi army led by Mikawa Mitsuji, these three parties are planning to join forces to divide Mikawa Province! ”

"The Matsudaira Tibetan Temple is very dangerous, if you act, it is better to act sooner rather than later!" Niwa Nagahide said an ambiguous sentence, and then said, "I just wonder if the lord can figure out how to face Kikuichi's anger?" These samurai are fighting with some persistence and faith, and the power behind them is probably very strong. ”

Oda Nobunaga's eyebrows raised slightly, and he scolded with a smile: "Migoro is playing meditation with the main family again...... Never mind! Let's settle this matter! Quan Liu, Yosan, you two with Youzuo, Shinhachiro, Gorou Hachi, Fujihachi and a few others led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Mikawa, with Mizuno Shimono Mamoru as the first hand to support Okazaki Castle! Remember your mission, if you take your family's military strength into it, don't come back! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty is determined to complete his mission! Shibata Katsuie and Mori Kosei bowed to the order, especially the former's excited bow and thanked Oda Nobunaga for his grace, this is the first time he has served as a general since he was a cold bench, and it is the beginning of his reuse and the beginning of abandoning the black history he left behind.

Oda Nobunaga took a pen and paper, wrote a document in a few clicks, dropped the brush and said, "Fujiyoshiro! You take your family's edict and go to Mikawa Province to hand over to Nishio Okuki Mamoru and Arakawa Kai Mamoru to Mamoru Okusa, Masaya Matsudaira in Shokuda, and Sakurai Matsudaira in the prison hall, and your mission is to communicate with these highnesses the will of your own family, and you must persuade them to accept the decision to eliminate the same thing. ”

Feeling the countless piercing eyes cast around him, if these eyes were swords, he must have died without a place to be buried, Kinoshita Hideyoshi forcibly suppressed his excitement, and hurriedly saluted: "Yes!" Your Majesty will do your best! We will live up to the trust of the Lord! ”

……

Within a few days, a news circulated in Tokaido, the Oda army announced that it was interfering in the Mikawa Rebellion, and Shibata Katsuie and Mori Kasei led Maeda Toshiie, Asai Masumi, Kanamori Nagakin, Sawaki Yoshiyuki and other forces composed of 3,000 troops to attack Mikawa Province, and in this process, Kikuichi let them through with almost no reaction, causing all kinds of speculation in Tokaido.

Shibata Katsuya and Mori Kecheng are two fierce generals, and they are both members of Oda Nobunaga's most trusted mother-robes, and as soon as the three thousand elites arrived, they fled in defeat and defeat to the eight thousand ones who came from Kamiya Temple, and almost swept a large area on the south bank of the Yasakugawa River with a complete victory, and swept away most of the crisis of the Matsudaira family.

During this period, Kikuichi was completely indifferent to Mikawa Ichijo's request for help, as if an old oil-starved machine stopped and continued to rotate, which was a huge credit to Kinoshita Hideyoshi's proper tuning, and it has to be said that this monkey only took a few days to transfer several forces in an unfamiliar place, and this skill and insight were enough to make him jump into Oda Nobunaga's field of vision.

In fact, there is no need for Kinoshita Hideyoshi to adjust it, this large strand of forcibly pinched together Kikuichi will collapse sooner or later, but under the influence of the monkey, this potential crisis will be detonated early, this so-called Kikuichi internal problems are very serious, the traitor system of the Matsudaira family and the remnant party system of the Mikawa Kira family look at each other unpleasantly, and several times they cooperate with each other without assisting each other, and finally evolve into a bad point where everyone who plays with their own whips ignores each other.

Another is the internal conflict of the power of the multi-headed government, Arakawa Yoshihiro and Nishio Yoshiji both claim to be descendants of the Mikawa Kira family, both sides are competing for the supreme power of the remnants of the Mikawa Kira family, anyway, Kira Wantakemaru followed his mother Imagawa Lady in Musashi Province, so young will definitely not come back for a while and a half, seizing the power of agency is equivalent to actually controlling the control of the Nishi-Mikawahara Kira domain, this is the rich territory of the Kira family after many years of reclamation, how can such a large territory not make the two of them tempted.

Matsudaira Masahisa of the Okusa Matsudaira family and the Matsudaira family of the Sakurai Matsudaira family are also similar to this situation, but the discord between the two is not as big as the uncle and nephew of the Mikawa Kira family, and neither of them is willing to cooperate with anyone when they play their own systems, for fear that they will become the retainers of the other party, which is not the biggest problem, and the most troublesome thing is that the traitors of the Matsudaira family who have always been in trouble began to regret it.

At the beginning, the rebellion was because Matsudaira Ieyasu did too much, violating their pure faith in the Ichikozong and tarnishing the glorious image of the family governor in their minds, so they resolutely led the army to rebel under the instigation of some relatives and friends, but as time went by, the army has always been chaotic organization and multi-headed management, and the disadvantages of not being able to determine power and interests were exposed, and many samurai began to regret their reckless behavior, and the most common thing they talked about was how good it would be to stay in Matsudaira's house.
