34. Honnoji changed, and Yamamoto entered Honshu Island
There are only two people in the Yamamoto family, and although they borrowed a boatload of arms from the red-haired ghost to make a move, they couldn't imagine in advance that a wealthy businessman who could be quite sensitive to the political affairs of the world would take the initiative to serve.

Sakai Dairo didn't know much about the Yamamoto family, but this investment could not be seen as a panicked choice, because as long as the Yamamoto family had nothing to do with the Otomo family, which was about to fall, it was enough.
On the one hand, the current situation of the Yamamoto family, the small cause and effect of the Oda Nobunaga and his generals was also taken away as early as the territory, and the death of the ancestor of the family, not only is there no threat to any of the current famous clans, but it will also attract the goodwill of the adults because of the batch of refined firearms they brought.
Sakai may not dare to think too much, but at least he can distinguish between the Yamamoto family, and he will not be killed by other daimyo as a pariah, like stabbing an ant to death, and even become a samurai because of this, and finally get a territory, and get the status of a merchant old man with the business he is good at.
Sakai's dedication was in accordance with the complete customs of the Wa Kingdom, and several days passed after a complete set, thanks to Kazuo Yamamoto's familiarity with this set of etiquette and Sakai Dairo's money. Although Yamamoto Zhennan did not hide Sakai's intention from his own situation, he still listened to Yamamoto Kazuo's advice in a good manner, and only after the righteousness of the lord and minister was established did he confide in Sakai Dairo and Pan, and immediately appointed him as the head of the Yamamoto family as the head of the business, and at the same time issued the first express order as the head of the family:
"Gather the state's political situation so that you can make the next decision. ”
After all, the ship of cargo at sea also needs to find a suitable home, which is also what Yamamoto Zhennan promised Captain Fan.
After Sakai learned of the true situation of the Yamamoto family, he was obviously taken aback, and did not speak for a full quarter of an hour, while Yamamoto Zhennan looked at him gently, stopped Kazuo Yamamoto's intention to intimidate him by force, and waited leisurely for him to come back to his senses.
When Sakai Dairo finally came back to his senses, the reaction was unexpected and then he took a breath of air, the surprise of the master and the two, but he first asked for a glass of sake, and drank it full, and when Kazuo Yamamoto thought that Sakai Dairo was going to regret it and tensed his body and knelt down to sit in order to be ready to exert his strength at any time, Sakai's ridiculous fat face was filled with solemn expressions, and he revisited Yamamoto Zhennan Dae, and a space of only three people suddenly rose up with an atmosphere of a meeting of the elders and important ministers of the great feudal family in the castle tower.
"The lord, the eldest brother, the subordinate is a pariah, although he has little wealth in front of the nobles, he is just like a mustard, and now he is entrusted by the lord with his heart, how dare he not die in revenge. ”
After being impassioned, he suddenly returned to the fat face with a thick smile:
"My lord, how is the political situation in Honshu that a little pariah like me can hear in the eyes of others, and only the grievances of the Otomo family and the Shimazu family on Kyushu Island can be understood. It's still the blessing of the little girl, and now the big friend family is down, the nobleman has no intention of looking for fun, and the little girl has no news to get. ”
As he said this, a scream of "ah" rang out, and it turned out that Kazuo Yamamoto was already guarding the door, and his katana was resting on a person dressed as a beautiful woman. This woman did not have the humble attitude of the other women in the house, but walked with her neck held high like a noble lady, and came to the place where the three of the Yamamoto family discussed without hindrance. One of the advantages of this sliding door is that you can see the location of the figure from the inside and outside, but it is difficult to know the exactly, this woman usually seems to be able to enter without reporting, and today I just returned home to report a major event to my father, and I was entering the inner room, I felt that the cold hardness had been cut on the skin on the side of the neck, and suddenly exploded like a cat.
Sakai Dairo turned back with Yamamoto Zhennan's gaze, and sure enough, the girl was the daughter that Sakai had been hanging on to his mouth.
"Miko, don't be rude. Sakai Dairo scolded his daughter in a stern voice, but looked at Kazuo Yamamoto pleadingly. Kazuo Yamamoto looked at the lord and retracted the blade only after receiving the signal, but it was not sheathed.
When Miko saw this situation, she immediately fell into a dazed look, until her father explained that her family had been loyal to the Yamamoto family and had become a merchant elder with the status of a samurai, her eyes glowed like a cat, and she stared rudely at the young lord above, who was well-proportioned and powerful, and had a resolute and handsome face, and if she could serve such a master, she would be a hundred times luckier than the fools of the Otomo family.
When Miko fell into the of the new lord, she only heard Yamamoto Zhennan say:
"Old Sakai family, Miko is in a hurry to return, is there any information that we urgently need to know?"
When my father heard this, he asked repeatedly:
"Yes, Miko, the lord asks, is there any change in the political situation in this state?"
Miko suddenly woke up, her face full of worry:
"The head of the Otomo family has been drinking from yesterday to today, and I am more panicked than a few days ago, when I was serving with wine" Speaking of serving, he paused, and saw the serious appearance of Yamamoto Zhennan, and quickly took out the style of the retainers' meeting from the Otomo family, and straightened his waist nondescriptly, "I heard that Oda Nobu-sama was killed in Honnoji, and it was the general Akechi Mitsuhide who rebelled, and the eldest son of Oda Nobu-sama was defeated and seppuku, and the Oda family has no recognized heir, it seems that Honshu Island is going to be chaotic, and it will be chaotic for many years." In this way, the Shimazu family went all out to conquer Kyushu Island, and the end of the Otomo family was not far away. ”
After hearing this, Sakai Dairo's eyes flashed with a small pride peculiar to taking advantage of business, and in addition to secretly congratulating himself on his decisive choice, he did not think deeply about the monstrous changes that the murder of Oda Nobuto's Honnoji Temple was about to cause in the entire Wa Kingdom.
Kazuo Yamamoto was full of disbelief, how could it be possible that Nobuto, Oda, who was invincible in his mind, was killed by the general Akechi Mitsuhide.
Yamamoto was not as sensitive to the occurrence of the Honnoji Rebellion as the only two retainers under him, and he quickly fell into the judgment of the possible change in the situation after Oda Nobunaga's death. People will eventually die, and the so-called "if the king is not secret, he will lose the country, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body." "At the time of the general trend, the characters who acted imprudently and died at the hands of Xiao Xiao are innumerable in Chinese history. Based on this, I will take care of it, Oda's death is not the biggest thing, but Oda's posthumous affairs are.
"It's been quite a while since the Honnoji Change, and I'm afraid the follow-up has changed greatly, and I can't write in time on Kyushu Island, the old Sakai family, you go and ask Captain Fan and Master Fan, and we must leave for Osaka as soon as possible. Elder of the Sakai family, you can go with you, okay?"
At this point, Yamamoto Zhennan was ruthless, but if Sakai refused to go, he would wash the Sakai family in blood, double and two swords, and go deep into foreign countries, and he must not fail to extinguish the cause of instability in the subtleties.
Sakai Dairo's open mouth couldn't be closed, and just when Kazuo Yamamoto was about to make a move, Sakai Dairo suddenly cried bitterly:
"The lord does such a big thing, and he also takes his subordinates with him, this is dependent. ”
There were still tears on the fat face, and he didn't care to wipe them, his eyes were shining with shimmering water, and he turned around and instructed his daughter:
"Miko won't go back to Otomo's house, although they are nobles of the martial family, but the lord is so noble, although the father has got money, but you serve those ugly people like pigs and dogs, how can the father be willing? ”
He turned back to the south of Yamamoto Town and bowed again, and pleaded:
"The lord is merciful, and the posture of the minister's little daughter Pu Liu, dedicated to the front of the car, although the birth is humble, it can also replace the subordinate to wait for the lord's life. ”
Yamamoto Zhennan was stunned, and before he could print it, Kazuo Yamamoto had already taken it upon himself to accept it for him, and in a low voice that everyone could hear, he reported: "This woman is concerned about the loyalty of the old man of the Sakai family, and the lord has accepted it." ”
Yamamoto Zhennan looked up, and sure enough, he saw the demeanor of the cautious Sakai father and daughter, so he solemnly agreed, but pointed out that although Miko was the daughter of the Otomo family, it was only because her identity was the daughter of a merchant and a pariah, and now she joined the Yamamoto family as an old daughter of the family, and she has her own identity and can participate in family affairs with the permission of the lord.
