Chapter 68

Two days later, good news came first, and the Asakura family Ichijo Tani Castle and Kitanozo Castle surrendered. The Oda army outside Otani Castle was in full swing, and the morale of the Asai family in the city fell to freezing point. Five days later, the Asai family's first fierce general, Kokoto Isonoshimasa, surrendered to the Oda family, and the only condition was to preserve the life of the former master Asai Sasumasa.

After Iino's official Masato went to Otani Castle to persuade him to surrender, and Asai Samasaki opened the city to surrender. Afterwards, Asai Samasaki became a monk and the Asai family was destroyed.

At this point, three daimyos, which had been passed down for more than a hundred years in the Kinki Battle, were destroyed. Oda Nobunaga had three more fertile land. After resting and recuperation, this more than one million stone of land could summon nearly 30,000 peasant soldiers during the war, greatly enhancing the combat power of the Oda family. Calculated by the height of the land acres of stone, the number of peasant soldiers in His Highness Nobunaga now has reached 70,000 peasant soldiers, and undoubtedly became the overlord of Kinki and one of the most powerful daimyos in the Warring States Period.

After Oda Nobunaga pacified the Kitao Orie, he led an army of 30,000 westward to Kazuizumi, joining 50,000 troops with Niba Nagahide and oppressing the Miyoshi family. At this time, I don’t know if it was Niba Nagahide’s return to the bed, or because of the momentum of Oda Nobunaga’s 50,000 troops, the Araki family, Matsunaga family, and Tayyama family handed over the hostages and vows and subordinated to the Oda family.

After being betrayed by the relatives, the Miyoshi family lost two consecutive battles, retreated from the water to the hometown of Shikoku, and abandoned Iimoshi Castle and Kishiwada Castle in Kinki and Izumi. After the Miyoshi family retreated, Oda's 50,000 troops surrounded Jetto. This made Jetto merchants. No one knew what Oda Nobunaga, the big devil, wanted to do. Jetto rumors were flying all over the sky. Some said that Jetto merchants wanted to slaughter Jetto's family and did not leave any other. Some said that Jetto's prices would be asked to pay astronomical taxes. Jetto's prices also changed three times a day. In particular, food and weapons showed signs of breaking through the highest prehistoric prices.

Fortunately, Oda Nobunaga still understood the truth that no fish would be fish when the water was clear. He raised his sword high, but fell down gently. It only made the merchants of Keichou pay 50,000 guan each year. The ten people of Keichou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fifty thousand guan was just a drizzle for these Keichou Dahao, and the money was only out of all the merchants of Keichou. They scanned the corners and corners of Keichou and came out.

But Oda Nobunaga, who has always been known for his cruelty, really has such kindness? If you have heard of the story of boiling frogs in warm water, it is not difficult to find Oda Nobunaga's intentions. It is said that the highest level of rulers is to starve to death without resisting.

In the seventh year of Ekiro, in February of the spring, Oda Nobunaga almost unified Kinki and feasted the ministers at Guanyin Temple Castle, and each of the meritorious officials were rewarded. At this time, Kinki had not yet belonged to Oda Nobunaga, but only the Dangou Wakasa country, but the Dangou had less than 100,000 stones of land, and all the troops and horses were only 2,000,000, which was almost negligible. The reason why everyone did not destroy him was not because he had no time, but because Wakasa was too barren. Even if he took down such a land, he could not survive. Why not be able to get along with him? Of course, the poorer place in Wakasa still exists, that is, the missile country close to Mino. Whether in the Saito era or the Oda era, Mino had no interest in the 83,000 stone land of missiles, and you can see how useless it was.

'Your Highness Tokugawa defeated the Asakura family this time and beheaded countless gold in the battle of Elsawa. He rewarded 5,000 taels of gold.' I wonder if Oda Nobunaga said the slander. The Asakura family killed by the Tokugawa family was not as small as mine. I wonder if the words "numerous" were to humiliate Tokugawa Ieyasu. Fortunately, it was just rewarded with gold, and it was probably the Asai family's inventory military capital.

Tokugawa Ieyasu seemed to have known that Oda Nobunaga only gave gold and silver, his face remained unchanged, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you Your Highness, Your Highness." After Oda Nobunaga strongly unified Kinki, the government and the people were shocked. Yesterday, he had already awarded the positions of two right ministers, Oda Nobunaga, two right ministers, and allowed Oda Nobunaga to enthrone the positions of less than five court officials, and he could report it to the court afterwards. The court's trick of removing firewood from the underworld satisfies Oda Nobunaga's wish to merge, and also delays the destruction of the public.

‘Kudo Seichi was able to conquer Tanba and Echizen this time, and awarded Tanba's country 285,000 stones, and recovered the original fiefs of Shigeru Castle and Ogaki Castle.’

‘His Highness Xie You.’ This has been discussed long ago. Jiechuan Castle and Ogaki Castle are optional to me.

‘When Niba Nagahide defeated Miyoshi’s family, he led the way and awarded 130,000 stones to the Izumi country.’

‘His Highness Xie You.’

‘Old Sen Kecheng took the lead in climbing Guishan City, broke the city in half a day, and granted 80,000 stones of land to the Missile Kingdom.’

‘His Highness Xie You.’

‘Shibata Katsuya granted Kitanozo Castle 100,000 stones of land.’

‘His Highness Xie You.’

‘Ikeda Hirokkai granted 50,000 stones of land to Otani Castle.’

‘His Highness Xie You.’

‘The Maeda Taki family granted Ogaki Castle 25,000 stones of land.’

‘His Highness Xie You.’

‘Hashiba Hideyoshi granted 25,000 stones of land to Shigeru Castle.’

‘His Highness Xie You.’

‘Sasa Narimasa…’

‘Akihi Mitsuhide...’

‘……’

Time returned to the court before the right minister of Oda Nobunaga. Before the reward of the meritorious minister, Oda Nobunaga and I had a secret conversation.

‘Shenichi, you made great contributions this time. Let’s talk about it, guardian of one country? Where do you want?’ Oda Nobunaga, whose territory has become larger, is indeed easy to talk to.

The bargaining is to make me speak up first, ‘If you want me to say it, you should go ahead.’

Oda Nobunaga put his fan on, 'That won't work. Echizen's territory is too much to be distributed to a retainer. Besides, Kaga countries are always the same. Echizen may be more wars after Echizen."

After all, except Echizen, the only territory that the Oda family has no owner is Tanba, Kitaoe and Kawaizumi. Of course, Ohashimio is the same, but the last two are the land of the Oda family's Ryuga, and they must be left for future generations. ‘Then I want Tanba.’ Although the land of Tanba is not fertile, it is better because it has minerals. This time, I have taken Tanba and have already surveyed the geographical area. In the future, I will take Tanba and even have the sea port. It will be very convenient to send a ship to do business with the North Korea country.

‘Yeah, that’s fine. But the Tanba Kingdom seems to be a little less. The Tanba Queen is one, and the Tanba Queen also takes it, but he has to send troops to fight. I think this matter will not hinder the ghost generals of our Oda family. But the 50,000 stones from Shuegawa Castle and Ogaki Castle will be returned to the Oda family for compensation.’

‘A country exchanges 50,000 stones, it seems that there is still a profit.’ Since subduing the Hatano family and defeating the Asakura family, someone gave me a nickname, the ghost general Kudo, which has begun to spread in a large range. But this is nothing. Generally, people who can win battles often start to call them dragons and tigers. If they are more powerful, they will be called ghosts and gods. Due to the constant war in Japan, titles such as military gods have begun to fly all over the sky. This thing is like the sword saint, and if there are too many, it will be worthless.

Oda Nobunaga buried his head in calculating, "The Kudo family, Tanba guardian. Then the guardian of Waizumi should be given... or to Niba. Kitaoe, it's not far away here, just find a guardian... Echizen, you have to find three people... Hey, I'm leaving too little territory for myself. How much is Moriko-seen's enfeoffment this time?"

Seeing that Oda Nobunaga had worked very hard, I said, 'Your Highness, there is actually a piece of land that can be rewarded with retainers!'

Oda Nobunaga, ‘Oh, where is it?’

‘The biggest behavior of this world is to be generous to others. Xiang Sen Kecheng is a master-level figure like Lord. I think as long as I get the ** million stones of land, I should be satisfied. If I add the position of guarding a country, I will definitely be grateful to His Highness Oda.’

‘**Ten Shi,**Ten Shi.’ Nobunaga Oda silently recited it several times, and his eyes lit up, ‘You are talking about the Missile Kingdom. Well, that’s good. But the military force of Morike’s family is evenly matched with the Sister Xiaoji family. The Missile Kingdom’s mountain road is rugged and travels south. Do you still need me to send someone to fight him?’

‘I have just sent Ke'er to hide it once. Lord Mori Kecheng is also helping me attack Tamba National.’

‘That’s good.’ Nobunaga Oda thought again and asked, ‘You can’t fall in love with Mori’s daughter again.’
