Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for rewards

Owari Komaki Mountain Castle:

"You're the new young owner of the Wufeng fleet? Why don't you dare to show your true face when you wear an iron mask? Frowning, Oda Nobunaga looked at Li Rusong, who was wearing a demon mask in front of him, and asked abruptly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and all the retainers of the Oda family bowed slightly, assuming a posture that was ready to hold Nobunaga at any time.

"Family master, this person is really the young owner of the Wufeng fleet, and he can use his life as a guarantee for his humble life!" Maori Shinsuke said eagerly, his father-in-law won't have any nerves, right? If the Wufeng fleet is provoked, even if the young ship owner is killed, the Wufeng fleet will not give up easily!

"Humph! Is Sosuke Kamisuke interested in my mask? Li Rusong knew in his heart that Nobunaga was arrogant, and this was just giving himself a dismount.

"Mr. Shang, if you have the ability, take off my mask by yourself, and if you don't have the ability, you can honestly squat here! Don't think that if you kill the fat pig of Imagawa Yoshimoto, you will be the king of the entire mud bombardment, and in the eyes of the Wufeng fleet, you are just a little lord! Completely ignoring Nobunaga's murderous gaze, Li Rusong sat on the tatami mat and said slowly.

"Bold! How dare you be so rude! Look at me... Yes! A gorgeously dressed teenager suddenly reprimanded Li Rusong, and before he finished speaking, a wine glass flew in front of him, slamming heavily on his left eye, and the young man fell to the ground screaming.

"Old Tokugawa tortoise, you're very loyal. Another day, I have to go to your Sanhe to kill people and set fires, otherwise I'm really sorry for the fact that you used your master as a stepping stone today" A wine glass smashed Tokugawa Ieyasu, Li Rusong sneered in his heart.

This old Tokugawa turtle is not very old this year, but it is just a young little king, and he already has such a scheming. This guy is scolding himself for not respecting Nobunaga on the surface, but secretly he actually wants Nobunaga to turn his face against him, so that Nobunaga loses the foreign aid of the Goho fleet. Then maybe the old turtle himself will change his face and apologize or something to win over the Wufeng fleet.

Even this old turtle just wants to use himself as a stepping stone, and show his respect and love for Nobunaga by reprimanding himself, the standard plan of killing two birds with one stone.

"Monk King! Teach me a lesson about this guy who doesn't know what to do, break a leg! With a cold smile in his heart, Li Rusong immediately made something more daring.

"Okay!" Monk Greenqin had long been unaccustomed to this pretence, and he had not dared to insult his brother's dwarf mule, so he was overjoyed when he heard this, and directly took a three-eyed fire gun as a stick, and strode towards the old turtle of Tokugawa.

"What do you want to do? Here it is...... Yes! As soon as he saw that the other party wanted to play really, several retainers under the command of the old Tokugawa turtle immediately rushed out, and just wanted to scold a few words, they were knocked to the ground by the fierce monk Greenqin with a stick.

"Hehe, it's really the Demon King, I don't care about the life or death of my subordinates" Li Rusong sneered and looked at Oda Nobunaga next to him holding his arms, without saying a word to dissuade him, and knew in his heart that this time the old Tokugawa turtle must have been beaten in vain.

"Wait!" Just as Monk Grinchen walked up to the frightened pale Tokugawa old turtle and was about to break his leg, Nobunaga finally spoke.

"The previous words were just my momentary curiosity, if there is any neglect, please bear with the shipowner" After straightening his clothes, Oda Nobunaga strode up to Li Rusong and said with a big salute.

"Hehe, Mr. Shang, your dog is not necessarily the guardian, maybe you plan to bite the owner! Come back! With a slight smile, Li Rusong recalled Monk Lingqin.

"Cut! A guy who pretended to be garlic was scared by Lao Tzu and pulled his pants! With a sneer, he threw the old Tokugawa turtle on the ground, and Monk Greenqin deliberately said loudly.

Hearing this, everyone, including Nobunaga, found that the house was full of foul smell, and they couldn't help but look at the people of Mikawa and Tokugawa Ieyasu with a little more contempt and a trace of vigilance in their eyes!

"Someone! Take the head of the Mikawa Ieyasu family down to rest" Nobunaga didn't say much, and directly arranged for someone to invite all the Mikawa people present and Tokugawa Ieyasu to go out, on the one hand, the latter was really embarrassed, and on the other hand, Li Rusong's words just now really reminded Oda Nobunaga.

Although Mud Bombardment is indeed a country that doesn't care much about credibility and can change lords back and forth, every lord is also full of distrust of the people who have rebelled against his subordinates, and they are wary of it everywhere.

Oda Nobunaga actually looked down on Tokugawa Ieyasu, when Imagawa Fat Pig beat himself, this guy was the vanguard and beat him hard, if it wasn't for Imagawa Fat Pig being killed by himself, maybe this guy was the first person to kill himself.

And with the killing of the Imagawa fat pig, when Suruga and Enoe were decadent and weak and incompetent, this guy took the lead in expressing surrender like himself, isn't this the grass on the wall falling with the wind!

Oda Nobunaga is not a fool, he knows very well that Tokugawa Ieyasu relies on himself just to ensure his own territory, and he does not really want to help him dominate the mud bombardment, on the contrary, this guy is ready to kill himself at any time to achieve his dream of the Tokugawa family to dominate the mud bombardment.

Today's performance of Ieyasu, Nobunaga saw through the other party's intentions at a glance, and he was already secretly angry, but because of the identity of the ally, he finally came forward to stop Monk Grinqin.

"Hehe, that's enough. Tokugawa old turtle, I'm afraid you will have a hard time in the future, so you can rest assured" Seeing all of Oda Nobunaga's performances, Li Rusong's heart was already happy, and his goal had been partially achieved.

As long as Oda Nobunaga does not trust the old Tokugawa tortoise as much as in the past, then the Tokugawa old tortoise will definitely "return the favor", secretly make trouble for Oda Kamisuke, and maybe think about changing another ally. The Warring States period of mud bombardment may be extended a lot because of this, which is extremely beneficial to me!

After dealing with Tokugawa Ieyasu's embarrassing affairs here, Oda Nobunaga seemed to have nothing to do, and ordered the maid to replace the broken tables, chairs, cups and saucers, re-set the sumptuous banquet, and invited Li Rusong to the banquet with great interest.

Different from the mud bombardment banquet just now, this time the traditional Ming tables and chairs were put on the table, and the dishes were also authentic dishes from the southeast coast of the Ming Kingdom, and Oda Nobunaga did make a lot of effort to win over the Goho fleet.

"Ha Luha, Mr. Shang is really hospitable!" Taking off the mask very naturally, Li Rusong said with a smile as he sat on the chair next to the main seat.

A hint of praise flashed in his eyes, and Oda Nobunaga didn't say much to sit on the main seat and personally pour wine for Li Rusong.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga had already admitted the fact that Li Rusong was his ally, and the other party's performance was neither humble nor arrogant, justified, and at the same time saw through Tokugawa Ieyasu's conspiracy at a glance, all these means and vision were the necessary conditions for becoming his Oda Nobunaga's ally.

The wolf's allies cannot be weak and incompetent sheep, only even more ferocious beasts!

"Hehe, Mr. Shangsuke, let's not use polite words, let's talk about how the Wufeng fleet needs to help your Oda family, and what can my Wufeng fleet get?" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Rusong asked bluntly.

"Well, the young ship owner is really direct! Okay, it's worthy of being a hero that I Oda Nobunaga valued" took the initiative to praise Li Rusong, and Oda Nobunaga immediately said his conditions:

"I hope to be able to buy from the Wufeng fleet, two thousand iron cannons and three large barrels, as well as enough food for five thousand people for a month. The Goho fleet must refuse all orders for weapons and food from the enemies of the Oda family, especially Inabayama Castle. As for the price, you have the final say," Oda Nobunaga's last sentence immediately shocked the four seats.

You must know that the materials mentioned by Oda Nobunaga are not a small amount, and for a small country like the mud bombardment, which lacks everything but earthquakes, the money to buy these things is definitely a huge amount of money. All the retainers and generals present here knew very well that even if the entire Owari could get this money, it would also empty all of Owari's financial reserves.

"Hehe, Mr. Shang is polite, so how about paying part of the payment in cash, and paying the rest with ronin? As long as Mr. Shang can catch enough ronin, he doesn't need to pay any cash" Li Rusong understood very well that the other party didn't have much money, so he said that he had already thought of a plan.

"What! Ronin can be traded for iron cannons and food, really? Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but stand up, patted the table and asked happily.

Japanese ronin, also known as mainland ronin, national warriors, big men, righteous thieves, Ren Xia, "heroes", is a unique historical phenomenon in modern Japan, for the modern Japanese society is very complex and has a certain power of social class, they are poor samurai who leave the main house and wander everywhere (to put it bluntly, their boss hangs, they have nowhere to go and have to come out to mix). Crazy and adventurous in order to restore their former authority, they presented themselves as the emperor's own soldiers, and appeared everywhere as "patriots", and their energy was amazing because of their skills.

But at the same time, this group of guys is also like a time bomb, extremely dangerous, and it is easy to cause unrest and chaos in the various daimyo territories. Daimyo were rarely willing to allocate extra land and money to recruit these ronin, and it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to kill them. The ronin was like a tumor, attached to the territory of the various daimyos, causing great trouble to the daimyos.

Owari has a large number of ronin samurai entrenched here because of its geographical location and abundant food, often pretending to be bandits to rob, which seriously affects the stability of Owari, and Oda Nobunaga has long wanted to clean up this group of people, but there is no suitable countermeasure.

But now:

"If these useless things can be exchanged for war materials that the Oda family urgently needs, it is really an honor for this group of scum!"
