Azuchi Castle was originally built to bring the center of power of the Oda family closer to Gyeonggi.

As a result, Azuchi Castle, which took nearly a year to build on Mount Azuchi in the southeastern part of Omi Province, is bordered by Lake Biwa to the north and Heiankyo to the west.

It's no wonder that the older generation of the Oda family is so out of shape.

Being able to enter Gyeonggi is something that any careerist in this troubled era of the Warring States period looks forward to, and Wang Tianxie and the violent overage pseudo-loli Oda Nobuko's father, "Owari Kuni Big Cat" Oda Nobuhide, is naturally no exception.

It's a pity that the dream (wild) dream (hope) of the big cat of Owari Kuni was not completed until his death, and the only way to inherit it was to Oda Nobuko, a daughter who had high hopes since she was a child.

Nobuko Oda did not disappoint him either, and since he officially succeeded to the head of the Oda family in March 1549, it took nine years to transform the Oda family from a small name of Owari Province to a super daimyo of the nine countries of Owari Province, Mino Province, Omi Province, Yamashiro Province, Settsu Province, Izumi Province, Kawachi Province, Yamato Province, and Shima Province.

Although a large part of this is due to Wang Tianxie, for this point, Wang Tianxie has always left his fame to his wife, and he retreated behind the scenes, willingly being a man behind a successful woman.

Of course, although he thought so and did so, the name of "the evil ghost of the Oda family" was still very loud in this troubled era of the Warring States.

Only the Uesugi sister, who succeeded the Uesugi family as the governor of the Kanto region, the Mori Terumoto, who owned the ten kingdoms west of Aki, and Honganji, which had a large number of Buddhists throughout the Warring States period, can be compared to the Oda family.

It can be said that the entire world has almost been divided by these four major forces, leaving only the westernmost Kyushu Otomo family and the Sagara family, and the easternmost southern family, the Date family and other local wealthy families can barely be regarded as having the strength to compete.

Of course, there is also a "Kai country big cat" Harunobu Takeda.

This is due to the geographical location of the country of Kai, which is really good.

The land of the basin valley surrounded by mountains on all sides is really advantageous for defense, and there are mineral mountains of gold, silver, and copper. It's a place like this one for the daring outlaw merchants.

Azuchi Castle is very close to Sakamoto Castle, which was given to Mitsuhide Big Lori, and Nagahama Castle, which Takenaka Hanbei is about to build, so it is not only very convenient to contact the two, but also forms a triangle that helps each other.

In the time and space of the demon king in Wang Tianxi's previous life, Omi Province was finally the territory of the monkey Hashiba Hideyoshi, and Nagahama Castle can also be called his birthplace.

But in this time and space where the demon king becomes the moe king. Since Wang Tianxie has the memory of his previous life, it is naturally impossible for him to make a monkey by Oda Nobuko's side to threaten her.

However, in order to consolidate and boost the strength of the monkeys and use them to deal with the Aki Maori family in the west, Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko still handed over the equally wealthy Echizen Province to him to take care of.

Interestingly, Omi Province became the base of the Oda family, while Mino Province was the territory of Takenaka Hanbei and Mitsuhide Lori, and the monkeys were very cleverly wrapped into sandwiches.

Oda Nobuko glanced at everyone present, and a smile appeared on her lips, and she reacted to the reactions of her uncles. She felt the same way.

Then, she moved her gaze to Wang Tianxie, and there was a hint of love in her eyes.

Long before he was served, this hateful fellow stole his heart.

When she and this guy first went out into battle, she was very fond of the other party fishing kappa in Ghana City and using tricks to collect the Takenaka twins as apprentices.

Even today, more than a decade later, this hateful guy still thinks about everything for himself and firmly becomes his own dependence.

I have to say, although Oda Nobuko is sometimes very aggressive. Doing things has always been flamboyant and full of violent aesthetics, but it is still very shy in some tenderness and sweetness.

"Oda King Tensa will settle in Azuchi Castle with me. The Heavenly Evil Ghost City was handed over to his retainer Xue Yuan Liang as the city lord. Nobuko Oda continued.

None of us present had any objection to this arrangement.

After all, Wang Tianxie is the husband of Oda Nobuko, and it is not a strange thing to settle in Azuchi Castle with her. And it is very reasonable for Wang Tianxi's original Heavenly Evil Ghost City to be entrusted to his retainers.

"Yiyi, you and Yukihara Ryo want to help each other, and you want to spy on Ise Province for me together! When the things in the west are done, it will be your turn, and you have to be more prepared. Oda Nobuko looked at Takigawa Kazuki and commanded loudly.

For this command. Kazuyi Takigawa was excited.

As early as two years ago, at the internal military council, in which only the elders of the family could participate, Oda Nobuko had promised that the future Ise Congress would be handed over to him, so that he would also be addicted to being the head of a country.

Oda Nobuko's implication was that after the Miyoshi trio and Ishiyama Honganji were settled, it would be their turn to attack Ise Province, Iga Province, and other places.

Next, Nine Paws will rank from top to bottom. The first was Maeda Toshiie, followed by Araki Murashige, Ryota Masatsuna, Fupo Clan, Beeya Yoritaka, Inaba Sadatsu, Kawajiri Jinyoshi, and Iga Mitsutoshi. The ranking of the twelve tooth generals ......" was announced, and then the ranking of the nine claw generals, the twelve tooth generals, the thirty-six flying generals, and the five wing generals of the near Xi began to be announced.

The Nine Claw Generals have not changed much, but more samurai from the Mino Kingdom, Echizen Province, and Omi Province have been added to the Twelve Tooth Generals, Thirty-six Flying Generals, and the Five Winged Generals of Konxi to become important ministers.

The change in the rank of the general is the largest, and the most important of them is the change of Mori Sanzaemon.

The position of subordinate general he held was handed over to his second son, Sen Changke, and he was given the title of Lord of Jinshan Castle. As for his position as the head of the Oda Nobuko Konoe banner, it was inherited by his third son, Mori Ranmaru.

"Well, that's pretty much it. Ladies and gentlemen! The new year is coming, and I hope that all of you can work together to prosper the military prestige of the Oda family! After Oda Nobuko finished talking about all the personnel transfers, she stood up and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Hi! Ho! ”

Everyone present stood up, raised their right hands high, and shouted loudly with fists in high spirits.

"Whew...... It's about to start a new year! After the New Year's celebration, Nobuko Oda sat on the observation deck on the top floor of the castle tower and sighed at the mountain scenery in the distance.

"Well, my father and Mr. Masa-so must be very pleased." Wang Tianxie rubbed her shoulders and said to the other party with a smile.

Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianxi's move to Azuchi Castle was not a trivial matter, and the two had been preparing for this event since the New Year's celebration in early January.

The personal belongings were organized by Princess Medusa Anon and Tenrei Lori, who directed the Konoe Banner and the maids to register and box everything in the Gifu Castle Castle Tower.

As for the transfer of military supplies, Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko need to be personally responsible for supervising it.

Fortunately, the heaviest forty-eight-pound cylinder had already been re-transported back to the ironclad fleet of the Nine Ghosts Jialong and equipped on the largest main ship, the "Nine Ghost Ships", so it was the medium-sized strategic materials that were really more difficult.

As for weapons such as iron cannons, spears, and large swords, they are light materials.

But even so, when the two of them spent more than half a month sorting out all their things, the supplies to be moved to Azuchi City still reached more than a hundred ox carts.

These materials have been successively transported from Gifu Castle to Azuyama by 500 second-echelon ashigaru teams led by Keiji Maeda.

For a large team of more than 100 ox carts, 500 ashigaru seems to be a lot less, especially since there are more than 100 members of the ashigaru team who need to be responsible for driving the ox carts.

However, whether it is Keiji Maeda, or Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko, they are not too worried about safety along the way.

In the eyes of everyone, Omi Province and Echizen Province have become the domain of the Oda family, and local forces such as bandits have been completely eliminated, so although the number of people led by Maeda Keiji is small, the safety is still guaranteed.

Azuchi Castle is built on the top of Mt. Azuchi, which is more than 100 meters above sea level, and the exposed part is seven stories high, with a total height of about 65 meters. As for the interior, Nobuko Oda added two basement floors and as many as seven secret passages.

A wide avenue for two ox carts to walk side by side runs through Ninomaru, Sannomaru, and the castle town.

Since Ise Bay has become very prosperous after more than a decade of development, and because the business of the "Onhime Nabe Izakaya" branches in various countries is very hot, the Oda family has abundant financial reserves.

Therefore, the walls of Ninomaru and Sannomaru in Azuchi Castle are not the slab walls of bamboo and wood plywood as before, but solid stone walls that are half a meter thick.

The large entrances are not made of wooden gates, but are made of giant iron gates that are nearly half a meter thick. Even if the Oda family's new iron cannon was fired at a distance of thirty meters, it would not be able to penetrate it.

Honmaru and Ninomaru had many manholes and pools for fire prevention, which were enough to prevent the enemy from setting fire to the castle.

Ninomaru is the residence of many elders and important ministers, and it is also the location of the brewery, the Jinsenbo, and the large shrine, and the Sannomaru is the residence of the ashigaru garrison.

The brewery and the shrine are the places where the Phantom Butterfly Lori Miko and the Snow Maiden Lori Yukina often stay.

The winery is easy to understand, all the honey wine is made by Wang Tianxie here with the two little loli.

Shenquanfang is a newly opened place dedicated to making various juices for Snow Girl Lori.

Well, by the way, with the Snow Girl Little Lori Yukina joining his demon Lori army, Wang Tianxie has invented a frozen version of mixed fruit punch, various non-alcohol juices, and sparkling wine juices containing honey wine.

The castle town was designed by Wang Tianji and Oda Nobuko into five wide circular avenues from small to large, enclosing the entire Azuchiyama ring one ring after another.

The five rings are centered on Mt. Azuchi, with the innermost ring being the smallest, and slowly getting larger and larger outward. There are more than 20 small roads in each ring road, and there are countless houses, temples, and markets along the way, such as the Imperial Palace, Oyashiki, Olongaya, Zashiki, and workshops.
