On October 10, Oda Nobunaga finally arrived in Kyoto, and the tea party was scheduled to be officially held on October 20. However, after Oda Nobunaga led the army to Kyoto and briefly paid a visit to the Empress, the restless master
He suddenly lost his voice, moved into Honnoji Temple, and never appeared in public again, which left everyone confused. You must know that after the Muromachi Shogunate was deposed by Oda Nobunaga, there was no ruling system in the world.
Although after the Onin Rebellion, the shogunate system existed in name only, and each big name was in charge of his own affairs, it still made people feel uneasy to have the center of power vacant. Everyone originally thought that Oda Nobunaga's grand visit to Luo Luo must be
He wanted to transform the center of power, and even appointed himself as general to conquer barbarians and open a shogunate - the court would not object to this, but Oda Nobunaga did nothing.
On October 14, just when Amakihei was wondering, he suddenly received news - he was asked to go to Honnoji Temple where Oda Nobunaga stayed to see Oda Nobunaga.
"It's best to be mentally prepared when Momiji goes here." Sawaki Yoshiyuki, who was accompanying Oda Nobunaga, greeted Amekihei in advance, "The one who was called the day before yesterday was that old guy Sakuma, because he was against Honjo.
The siege of the temple has not progressed, and the lord gave him a bloody scolding and confiscated some territory. The people who were called the day before yesterday were Tokichiro and Araki-sama, and they were also scolded for the slow progress of the Harima strategy. However,
Tokichiro had previously contributed to the surprise attack on Awaji, and was not scolded for too long. Lord Araki bore most of the firepower and had his territory confiscated. He was also asked to send his son to the lord as a hostage after the year. His Highness Akechi was also called yesterday.
He was also scolded because of his inability to conquer Tamba. It is said that the lord gave him a death order, and if he could not capture Tamba within one year, he would be told to pack up and get out."
"Oh my god..." After hearing what Yoshiyuki Sawaki said, Yu Qiupei couldn't help but beat his drum in his heart. The Oda family currently has five major legions: Shibata Katsuie's Hokurikudo legion. The goal is to capture Kokaga and Noto and defeat and support the two countries.
The Uesugi family; Amakihei's Nankaido Army, whose goal is to conquer Shikoku and defeat the Miyoshi family, the old enemy of the Oda family; Sakuma Nobumori's Ishiyama Encirclement Army, whose goal is to encircle Ishiyama Gobo, the base camp of Honganji Temple; Akechi Mitsuhide's Sanin (
) Dao Legion, the goal is to capture Tanba and Tango, and defeat the Hatano family that threatens the security of Kyoto; Hideyoshi Hideyoshi and Araki Murashige's Sanyo Dao Legion, the goal is to capture Harima and expel the Miyoshi family from the Honshu continent.
This time, except for Shibata Katsuie, all the five army commanders came to Kyoto, and without exception, they were scolded by Oda Nobunaga. Yu Qiupei was the last one to be called, so he probably didn't get any good results. Although
Ame Akihei's rock house building plan was a great success, and it is said that Oda Nobunaga himself was very pleased. However, Ame Akihei suffered a disastrous defeat in Tosa before, losing half of the entire Tosa, and ran back in despair. If you want to scold him, you can certainly
Find a reason to scold him.
Therefore, Yu Qiuping had no choice but to bite the bullet and came to Honnoji Temple cautiously. To his surprise, Oda Nobunaga's first words when he saw him were actually a sentence of encouragement:
"You did a good job on Awaji Island." Oda Nobunaga said casually while tapping the handle of his folding fan slowly on the palm of his hand, "It's really good to be able to bite off a piece of meat from the headquarters of the Awaji Navy."
"My lord, you are honored, and there is some luck involved. If one part of the Awaji Navy hadn't rushed in and been defeated, my navy would not have had the confidence to fight the entire Awaji Navy in a decisive battle." Yu Qiuping bowed his head very humbly.
"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Qiuping, "In other words, after so many years, you still can't do anything to the Awaji Navy?"
"Uh..." Yu Qiuping heard this and his chrysanthemums tightened. He felt that Oda Nobunaga was about to start scolding, so he hurriedly spoke out in relief, "I still have a group of ships, and they can be put into battle in another year. And there are still a number of ships.
There is a large ship under construction. When they are completed, we can fight against the Awaji Navy."
"Oh? There are so many ships. Where did you get so much money to build so many ships? It took hundreds of years of accumulation for the Awaji navy to have that fleet. It took you less than ten years to catch up.
What’s more, you’ve built dozens of large cylinders, several times more than Yu?” Oda Nobunaga’s expression became a little strange, and Yu Qiuping realized that he had made a mistake before and had fallen into the trap of Oda Nobunaga’s words.
It's a trap, but it's hard to get out of it now.
"Your Majesty, most of it comes from the taxes paid by merchants in Sakai Town." Yu Qiuping felt that there were slight beads of sweat on his temples, and replied truthfully in a low voice.
"How many soldiers do you have now?" Oda Nobunaga did not continue, but immediately asked another question.
"Lord, there are six reserve teams, about 9,000 people capable of going into battle to kill the enemy." Yu Qiuping deliberately only reported the number of soldiers, hoping to round things out a bit.
"There are still nearly 20,000 auxiliary troops that can be used. Why didn't you mention it? And with so many ships, you probably need a lot of sailors, right?" Oda Nobunaga sneered, and the sound of his folding fan tapping on his palms suddenly disappeared.
Then he said, "Besides, your soldiers are much more expensive than everyone else's soldiers. The soldiers are standing troops and they are used every day. You have a lot of money."
"I currently have less than 90,000 soldiers. Among the legions under my command, Gonroku (Shibata Katsuie) has 20,000 men, Tokichiro (Hashiba Hideyoshi) and Murashige (Araki Murashige) also have about 20,000 men, and ten
There are even fewer military guards (Mitsuhide Akechi) and Youemon Nobumori (Nobumori Sakuma), only 15,000 people." Oda Nobunaga counted on his fingers and said with a smile, "The cost of raising troops is estimated to be 15,000.
It probably cost more than Yu’s 90,000 people. And your Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, which has been expanded and renovated every year, must be better than Yu’s unfinished Azuchi Castle. When the time comes, when it comes to Kinki’s first castle,
How many people can think of Yu’s Antu?”
"It started from the time when Chiri became famous; then he turned the tide in the battle of Kyoto and blocked Miyoshi's pursuers; he developed from a Maple Leaf Mountain Castle hanging outside the country to the powerful vassal he is today; he defeated Takeda with an outnumbered enemy and defeated the invincible Takeda Shingen
With the Koshu Army, your martial name is resounding throughout the world. Now, even the Miyoshi family is no longer your opponent?" Oda Nobunaga slowly leaned down and looked straight at Yu Qiupei, who was prostrate on the ground, "The strongest red leaf soldier in the world,
Momiji's strongest Tokiwabi. Usaki's art of war, absolute defense. Our Highness Jibu, how majestic is he? The world-famous No. 1 archer of Tokaido back then, Imagawa Jibu, must be nothing more than this, right?"
After Oda Nobunaga said these words, Yu Qiupei's face turned pale. Oda Nobunaga had pointed out Yu Qiupei's great achievements so blatantly, obviously he had deep suspicion of Yu Qiupei. Moreover, Yu Qiuping had previously
He had an quarrel with Oda Nobunaga because of his relationship with Asai Nagamasa, and he also had a quarrel with Oda Nobunaga because of Oda Nobunaga's tyrannical behavior. In addition, Amakihira was the son-in-law of the Imagawa family and a traitor general.
You can't talk about being loyal, right? When Uakihira joined the Oda family, he did it for no other reason than to kill Oda Nobunaga to avenge Imagawa Yoshimoto. He might have left a lot of clues. If Oda Nobunaga really suspected
If it rains and calms down, sending people to conduct a thorough investigation will cause big trouble.
After saying that long paragraph, Oda Nobunaga fell silent. Yu Qiuping bowed his head deeply and was already sweating profusely. He didn't know why Oda Nobunaga suddenly said this, and he didn't know what Oda Nobunaga thought about him.
How long has the suspicion lasted? Let alone whether he can walk out of Honnoji alive now.
"I heard that your Sakai town has some kind of parliament. It used to pay one-tenth of the harvest to the Miyoshi family every year?" Oda Nobunaga suddenly asked.
"Yes, in exchange for the Miyoshi family not blocking Sakai Town." Yu Qiuping replied tremblingly.
"Then give me one-tenth every year." Oda Nobunaga sneered, "How about it, Hongye, what do you think? Is it possible that your lord's treatment is not as good as that of the enemy Miyoshi's family?"
"Dare you disobey me?" Yu Qiuping didn't dare to hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
"You have captured Iwaya Port this time and opened up the Akashi Strait. Are you no longer worried about the Awaji navy blocking your Sakai town?" Oda Nobunaga asked another question.
"Lord Mingjian." Yu Qiuping still didn't dare to say anything and answered honestly.
"Then give Yu the tenth that was given to the Miyoshi family, a total of 20%." Oda Nobunaga sneered and stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Yu Qiuping's face.
"I will be loyal to the Oda family." Yu Qiupei kowtowed twice in front of Oda Nobunaga, and the sweat on his forehead had already soaked the tatami.
"Send a few skilled craftsmen to Yu and teach them how to make iron cannons and large barrels." Oda Nobunaga made another request. Yu Qiuping felt a pang in his heart. These techniques are all military industry.
It took so many craftsmen of the company more than ten years and countless efforts and financial resources to develop it, but now they can only give it away. Yu Qiuping gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Yes",
"And that bastard parliament, that bastard organization that requires the consent of those businessmen and wealthy leaders to do whatever you want, should be withdrawn as soon as possible." Oda Nobunaga said in a serious voice again, "I know that you have difficulties.
, now we still need the rooster that laid the golden eggs to deal with the Sanhao family. When the Sanhao family is destroyed, we will kill the chicken to get the eggs."
"I will give you five years, six years at most, to get all these things done. Work for me honestly, and I will not treat you badly in the future. If you have any other intentions, Asai Nagamasa will be your fate."
Oda Nobunaga said the last words and slapped Yuqiu Ping on the head with the folding fan, "Go away!"
After Yu Qiuping walked out of Oda Nobunaga's house in a panic, he happened to meet Lin Xiuzhen walking towards him. The latter glanced at Yu Qiuping and smiled slightly.
Yu Qiuping recognized that smile, it was the smile of someone who did dirty things.
Chapter completed!
