In this world, no matter what kind of pirates will always come ashore, Notaro knows where some of the local pirates like to go ashore to have fun, so he quickly came to the door here.

At this time, the pirates in the house were complaining:

"Those newcomers are really getting more and more excessive, and they actually want to sacrifice ten small boats."

"Isn't it? A few days ago, I had to pay fifty yuan. ”

"Now the old pirates in Sanhe Bay are about to be swallowed up by them one by one, and if it continues like this, it will be impossible to live in the inferior in the future."

After hearing this, Notaro smiled in his heart, pushed open the wooden door with one hand, and said with a smile while entering: "Hehe, aren't you afraid that those new guys will kill people?" ”

"Who?" Everyone in the room immediately stood up with their weapons, and when they saw that it was Notaro, they immediately scolded angrily, "It turned out to be Notaro, you lost dog!" At the same time, the men sat down again and began to drink.

In the face of the ridicule of everyone in the house, Notaro said with a smile: "A mourning dog is better than a headless ghost!" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Notaro's words immediately caused dissatisfaction among some people in the house.

"It's literal!" Notaro didn't care about everyone's murderous eyes, and sat down at a table with a smile, "Do you think those newcomers will let them live after they continue to swallow up these pirates?" ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were heavy after listening to his words, Notaro knew that the opportunity had come, so he immediately took out the bag of coins that Takahashi Shaoyun had given him and put it on the table. There was a "clang" sound. The sound of a large number of coins colliding with each other immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

See this scenario. Notaro smiled mysteriously. Then he said, "Now there's an opportunity in front of me......

Immediately, Notaro persuaded the old local pirates in the house to go to Takahashi Shaoyun, and finally these people, driven by profits, became Luo Shi's subordinates. With the help of these local land snakes, Luo Zhi Xinliang quickly dispatched the ships of the Third Standing Naval Army, and with the cooperation of these land snakes, he quickly cleared out the various forces along the coast of the Yuanjiang Kingdom and the Three Rivers Country at any time.

In less than half a month, the Imagawa family of the Enoe Province not only quickly took the territory of the Kira family. He also began to vigorously purge the various forces along the coast of his territory, which made the Nishimikawa Matsudaira family and the Oda family of Owari Province, which were already their domains, nervous (the Mizuno family, located on the border between Nishi-Mikawa Province and Owari Province, was subordinate to the Oda family, and the territory of the Kira family originally bordered the territory of the Mizuno family, so after defeating Imagawa Yoshimoto, the territory of the Imagawa family once again extended to the border of the Oda family).

As a result, the relationship between the Matsudaira family and the Oda family, which had been friends before, became even closer.

Finally, after the two families decided to discuss an alliance, on February 3, 1561, the lord of Tsukake Castle, located on the border between Owari Province and Mikawa Province, Kizo Shigetada, served as an envoy to the Oda family. Arrived at Okazaki Castle.

When Kizo Shigetada led the two retinues to the hall of Okazaki Castle, Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately smiled and asked, "Is the road smooth?" ”

Kizo Shigetada replied with a smile: "This world is full of young men with strong blood. Naturally, the road is very smooth. When the adults arrive at Qingzhou City, I am afraid that there will be rudeness and anger to cause trouble. Thank you for your understanding. Listening to what he meant, the first condition for the alliance between the two families seems to be that Matsudaira Motoyasu must go to Cheongsu.

"How is Nobunaga-kun?" Matsudaira Motoyasu did not respond to this question directly, but instead asked about Oda Nobunaga's situation.

"Energetic, reprimanded every day in inferior."

"Oh. I miss him so much. When he was in Atsuta, he often went to see and take care of the ......" Then Matsudaira Motoyasu held back a sneeze and lightly touched the key topic, "So, ...... you come this time"

"The purpose is simple." Kizo Shigezhong twisted his beard, and his expression was very stern. The generals in the seat suddenly fell silent, "Since the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, there is no reason for the Oda and Matsudaira families to fight. Your side is in the east, and the lord of the family is in the west, each doing its own thing, not interfering with each other, it is better to form an alliance and reconcile. That's the purpose of this trip. ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded solemnly. He didn't care about the nervous expressions of his retainers at all, "That's not a bad strategy, but I'm sorry to accept it, please go back and tell the letter to the lord." ”

"Oh?"

"The Imagawa family is kind to Zaixia, and Nobunaga can expand to the west, south, and north as much as possible, but the east is the territory of the Imagawa family, and it cannot be conquered in Xia." Matsudaira Motoyasu continued.

"As promised."

"Your Excellency probably still doesn't understand that in the affairs of the world, righteousness is supreme."

"Yes, yes." Kizo Shigetada twisted his beard and nodded, "It is clear that Your Excellency is by no means a treacherous person, but there is no reason to provoke Owari either. ”

"So, please go back and tell Nobunaga-kun that you agree to form an alliance with him."

"Oh?" Kizo Shigetada immediately tilted his head slightly, and asked a little puzzled, "Didn't my lord say that for the sake of the Imagawa family, you can't violate your faith until you get it explicit?" ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu shook his head slowly and said, "That's not necessary." After all, he is no longer a retainer of the Imagawa family, and besides, the Imagawa family is divided into two at this time, and it is unknown who is the real governor of the Imagawa family. ”

From the meaning of this sentence, it can be known that Matsudaira Motoyasu does not admit that the Imagawa clan is really the governor of the Imagawa family, and Matsudaira Motoyasu has no way to do this, after all, at this time, his wife, children and even the family members of the retainers are in the hands of Imagawa Burial Zero, and judging from the current Imagawa clan and Imagawa Burial Zero's cousin, the latter naturally seems more suitable to become the governor of the Imagawa family.

Of course, deep down, he naturally hopes that the Imagawa clan, who is less capable, will really be the governor of the Imagawa family, after all, this will be more conducive to the future development of the Matsudaira family, but after all, in the previous armistice agreement with Imagawa Burial Zero, the Matsudaira family was required to admit that Imagawa Burial Zero was the real Imagawa family governor, and Matsudaira Motoyasu could only say so when he was external, otherwise once the Oda family learned that the Matsudaira family was related to the Enoe-Imagawa family and recognized that Imagawa Burial Zero was the Imagawa family's governor, it was very likely that there would be a storm because of this.

"What's more, Your Excellency Kizo Shigezhong, do you know that there are two kinds of people in this world." After a slight pause, Matsudaira Motoyasu continued, "One kind of person is very eager to have a lord, and the other kind of person does not have this desire. Nobunaga-kun probably belongs to the latter with Zaixia, and would rather die than be someone else's retainer. Even the righteousness of the Imagawa family is not the righteousness of the lord and the minister, but the samurai affection. Between Xia and his childhood friend Nobunaga-kun, there is also this kind of 'righteousness'. At this time, Matsudaira Motoyasu stopped and sneezed, "So, I will go to Kiyosu Castle when I have the opportunity to reminisce with Nobunaga-kun...... Can you tell him that? ”

After hearing this, Kizo Shigetuda couldn't help but look at Matsudaira Motoyasu again. I just said that it's hard to accept, but don't you accept it all? Moreover, when he sneezed, he showed his determination that no matter what the circumstances, no matter what happened, he Matsudaira Motoyasu would never be a retainer of the Oda family.

What an extraordinary family governor! With such a family governor, there was no need to talk about surrender at all, so Kizo Shigetada had no choice but to say: "I completely understand it. ”

"Great, without any preconditions, the righteousness was realized, and the two families shook hands and made peace. It's so rare! Come, bring the gifts. ”

But Kizo Shigetada suddenly thought that the lord Oda Nobunaga had ordered that Matsudaira Motoyasu must be asked to go to Kiyosu Castle, and such an important condition was actually changed by Matsudaira Motoyasu to "go on standby". However, it has come to this point, and I am afraid that I will not be able to mention this again, if I reiterate, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by Matsudaira Motoyasu.

So, Kizo Shigetada had no choice but to accept the gift, pretending to be flattered, and after bowing deeply to Matsudaira Motoyasu, he said, "The lord of the next family will definitely be very happy." I need to make some preparations to welcome you, so I dare to ask you, when do you plan to go to Cheongju? In this way, you can go back to your life in the future. (To be continued......)
