"Hmmm! Ladies and gentlemen! Don't stand all of you!"

When Oda Nobunaga and Matsudaira Motoyasu walked out of the crowd together, Oda Nobunaga said this to the people of the Matsudaira family who were surrounding him.

"I understand it below! I understand very well under it! To you, Matsudaira Motoyasu is your most important lord. All right! You are allowed to come with a broadsword, and everyone is a loyal samurai, and you are a loyal samurai...... Hahaha! For the next, it is more pleasant to say that Matsudaira Motoyasu is better than to say Takechiyo. I have something to say with Chiyo Take, so let's listen to it too! Come, follow down!"

These words had swept away the doubts in the minds of the Matsudaira family's retainers. You must know that among the retainers of the Matsudaira family who followed Matsudaira Motoyasu to Kiyoshu Castle this time were Uemura Shinrokuro Hideyasu, who was nearly 60 years old, Kodaira Kodaira Taiyamasa, 12-year-old Kamihara Taiyasuma, Torii Mototadada, Hiraiwa Jinyoshi, Ishikawa Shumasa, Okubo Tadashi, Kori Kiyoshi and others. They all made up their minds that if something happened to Matsudaira Motoyasu at the Oda family in Owari Province, they would also fight to the death with Oda and never set foot in the land of Mikawa again. It is precisely because of this that Oda Nobunaga's words can really be said to have knocked on their hearts!

Call Matsudaira Motoyasu to kill? Is it possible now? If Oda Nobunaga really had such despicable thoughts, he would never allow them to follow with a knife.

You know, once they enter the house, according to common sense, they are required to hand over the big sword in their hand, but if the knife is handed over to the people of the Oda family, in case something happens, then there is nothing they can do. That's why I think so. That's why they deliberately put on a posture of going to fight from the beginning. This makes it time for the other to take their sword. They can refuse in unison:

"No! We can't trust your lord yet, so I refuse!"

And now, just as they were about to answer this, Oda Nobunaga allowed twenty-two of them to go in with knives and listen to their conversation?

"This is a truly great lord!" The retainers of the Matsudaira family couldn't help but feel in their hearts. As the saying goes, the specialty of Enoe is rice, while Mikawa's specialty is samurai, and these Mikawa samurai are very upright by nature, and now they are all attracted by Oda Nobunaga's actions. Gradually, a sense of closeness develops in my heart.

Although there were two or three minor misunderstandings after this, this was no longer a problem, and by this time the Trois-Rivières samurai had all been relieved of their vigilance.

However, in the case of Oda Nobunaga, it is not so simple. Oda Nobunaga, who has a clear ambition in front of him, must give Matsudaira Motoyasu a try to see if he can be his right hand and trust each other and cooperate with each other in the rest of his life.

"At first glance, this is a very good young man." This is Oda Nobunaga's evaluation of Matsudaira Motoyasu in his heart at this time.

Subsequently, Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was eight years old when Oda Nobunaga was younger, sat side by side with Oda Nobunaga in the upper seats in the hall, and Oda Nobunaga first said, "Motoyasu! You've worked hard. I understand your hard work!"

When Oda Nobunaga said so. His eyes looked at him as if they were about to pierce Matsudaira Motoyasu, and at the same time he thought to himself, "What does this hard work mean?" And how should Matsudaira Motoyasu answer?"

This was the first question Oda Nobunaga had when he experimented with Matsudaira Motoyasu.

Matsudaira Motoyasu put his hands on his lap very decently. With his long, beautiful eyes, he looked at Oda Nobunaga serenely, and said:

"It's a troubled time now, and it's a helpless thing. Zai Xia has been fully enlightened, and even if the Imagawa family is angry, Zai Xia will come here. "In the past, if his wife and children, as well as the families of the retainers, were still in the hands of the Suruga Imagawa clan, Matsudaira Motoyasu would have been a little scruples, but now these people are in the hands of the Enoe Imagawa burial, and the Matsudaira family has secretly established a temporary armistice agreement with the Enoe Imagawa family, so that although these hostages cannot return home, they can at least ensure the safety of the Imagawa family in the Enoe country.

And Oda Nobunaga was deeply moved by his answer. Previously, both the Imagawa Burial Zero of Enoe Province and the Imagawa clan of Suruga Province each claimed to have mastered the retainers under the command of the former Imagawa Yoshimoto such as the Matsudaira family, the families of the wealthy clan, and other hostages, but no matter which one was true, the families of the Matsudaira family were in the hands of the Imagawa family, which is a fact.

Thus, for Matsudaira Motoyasu, the hardships of 12 years of hostage life, and the anxiety that once he formed an alliance with Oda Nobunaga, his wife and son would be killed in the anger of the Imagawa family...... However, it is a troubled time and it is impossible to cover everything, so Matsudaira Motoyasu came here with full awareness...... Therefore, Matsudaira Motoyasu's answer is enough.

"Good! In the event that your wife or son are killed, is there any other way to deal with this?"

With the same attitude, Matsudaira Motoyasu shook his head quietly and replied, "You can rest assured!" Until then, let's talk about it then!"

"Looks like you're not confident anymore?"

"Exactly!"

"Yuanyasu!"

"Yes!"

"Do you remember what I said to you by the Crab River?" Oda Nobunaga asked.

Matsudaira Motoyasu laughed slightly: "In the cold weather, I stripped my clothes and threw them into the river, and I was forced to drink several sips of water. ”

"Hahaha...... That's for you to find a kappa! But do you remember what I told you before that?"

"Oda Nobunaga wants to unify the entire Warring States...... That's what you said. Matsudaira Motoyasu recalled.

"Oh for this! Yuanyasu ...... At that time, Master Yoshi, just like the one who was bound by you, was acting to unify the world. ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu replied clearly without hesitation at this moment: "This is understood!" In Shimomatsudaira, Motoyasu also came to Cheongju Castle according to your constraints. ”

"Oh! Really?"

"Kichibo-sei! At that time, we waited for the agreement. Chiyo Shimotake was in charge of pacification to the east of Mikawa, and Yoshichi was to the west of Owari...... Right?"

"Yes! Exactly!"

"The time is approaching. Chiyo Shimotake will guard the Mikawa well, whether it is Imagawa or Takeda or Hojo, they will never let them pass guò in Shimo. So now, let's take action against Ise as well, Mr. Kichibo! If you don't hurry up and calm the world. The common people will be even more pitiful. ”

At this time, Oda Nobunaga patted his knee vigorously. Then he said: "Yuankang! There's nothing more to say below. ”

"Oh! What's going on?"

"You've said everything you've got to say next. Now that you've said it, of course there's nothing to say here. Good! Then there's the realm between you and Zaixia, and it's up to the retainers to decide! You don't have to worry about the west side, let's go east!"

"This matter has already begun to be moved."

"It's wonderful. Hahaha...... You don't have to worry about this, Ise has built an exit in Xia, Mino has now become an ally again, and that guy Yoshilong is dead. At that time, Brother Owari and Brother Mikawa will be able to jointly obtain the East China Sea and Kinki. And consolidate the area. ”

"Exactly!"

"In the unlikely event that you encounter a stubborn enemy and fall into a bitter battle, you can always send an envoy, and Oda Nobunaga will lend you the most proud soldier."

"It's the same with Matsudaira Motoyasu, in case you run into difficulties, the most complacent Samurai of Mikawa can gallop over at any time to relieve you of your leisure."

"Mikawa and Owari have formed an alliance, and there is no stronger force in the world than in the world."

"That's why I came to Cheongju City!"

"Hahaha...... It's really a pleasure. ”

When the two laughed in unison, Fujiyoshiro also came to the two of them at this time, and reported: "Report to the lord!"

"What's the matter? Fujiyoshiro!" Oda Nobunaga asked.

"Guests come from so far away, and they think they must be hungry. I make soup with the best crane of the Matsudaira family under it. Now that it's ready, you see it's the meal delivered here. Or ......"

"Oh! Matsuwa Tsuru! Okay, I'll send it right away. By the way, Yoshiro Tojiro!"

"Yes!"

"You take out the best wine by the way, Motoyasu is a very important guest for Zaixia. No! is a relative under the next. Mikawa's younger brother did not forget the old days, and he came to Owari to visit the elder brother in Shimo, and there was nothing more pleasing than this. And to those who are retainers, bring them the best. ”

"Yes, yes!"

"That's right! Ladies and gentlemen, as you have just heard, the important business has been discussed, so you might as well relax! Take it easy! I'd love to hear about your great deeds, so relax! Take it easy. Oda Nobunaga waved his hand, and his most complacent laughter rang out in the hall.

Thus, the alliance of the Oda family and the Matsudaira family was finally formed. For Oda Nobunaga, there is no greater force than this.

Just as Oda Nobunaga received information from his spies, Matsudaira Motoyasu would indeed be a great man. I'm afraid there will be no young man like Matsudaira Motoyasu in this vicinity (except for the Nobunaka son of the Imagawa family in Enoe Province, but unfortunately this person is a retainer of Imagawa's burial!). ）。 This is different from the rats like Oda Nobuyuki and Saito Yoshiryu, who only rely on their father's power to make a fortune, Matsudaira Motoyasu has a strong belief in existence.

"What a treasure you've found!" Oda Nobunaga is like a rushing horse, which makes people feel a passion; However, Matsudaira Motoyasu is like water in the mouth of the tube, and the water flows for a long time and is quiet.

In the midst of that, with Matsudaira Motoyasu's intelligence and acumen, he was able to fully understand Oda Nobunaga's ambitions. Perhaps it was because he also had that ambition that sustained him through those painful obstacles to get here.

The next thing is to start marching towards Ise, and this time, my father-in-law, Saito Michizo, in order to express his gratitude for personally leading the army to the border to help him, also promised to send troops to help, then, those monks in Ise, you took advantage of the civil strife in your family to enter Owari to burn and loot, this hatred I Oda Nobunaga has endured for a long time, and now it's time for revenge......
