The Hojo family received unexpected favors one after another, which made everyone in the family very grateful for the trust of the Kanto public. Originally, Hojo Tokimasa thought that he would be reduced and transferred to another, and he would be thrown aside and sit on the bench at will.
They will send out force to monitor themselves just like what Hojo Ujiyasu once did.
If a more powerful method is used, one can adopt a successor and replace the heir of the family governor. When the direct descendants of the Sagami Hojo clan "die" one after another, then abandon the Miao characters and return to the clan. It is relatively normal to use this method to completely abolish the Sagami Hojo clan. According to the Hojo clan
He was once named the Oishi clan Teru, and the Hojo clan was named the Fujita clan. Later, when these two families lost their use value, they abandoned their Miao names and returned to the Hojo family.
Based on this judgment, Hojo Tokimasa was ready to pinch his nose and give in. As long as the child in the belly of Hojo Tokimasa's wife Huangmein can become the heir of the Hojo clan's family governor, any concessions he can make are negotiable, but
He did not expect Ashikaga Yoshitoki to be so kind and honest, which moved Hojo Tokimasa deeply.
Except for being given a scary word that shocked him so much that he didn't dare to speak for a long time, the special treatment given to him was far more than what a subdued samurai family would enjoy. Perhaps this was the imitator who followed after telling the story of buying a horse bone for a thousand dollars, and the Edo public was absolutely
People who don't care about gains and losses still uphold a generous attitude towards the Kanto samurai family. Even the Sagami Ujo clan who made big mistakes can still live peacefully.
Hojo Tokimasa was very satisfied with his situation, but some samurai could not see the smiling faces of the Hojo family. The new members of the Kanto Council, who originally wanted to see the great collision of heaven and earth, were surprised. Hojo Tokimasa seemed to gain more trust and reliance, which gave
Takato Koyama, Nasu Suin, Utsunomiya Hirosuna and other new members who also surrendered were under great psychological pressure.
No samurai among them has received even a reward of swords, guns, armor and other weapons, not to mention that the coveted hybrid war horse is an unheard of treasure. With Ashikaga Yoshitoki's strong promotion, Hojo Tokimasa became the first new senator in Kanto
His position is still higher than that of Satake Yishige.
Among the many Kanto samurai families who have been punished, they are unique and favored. Under the envious and jealous gaze, a new hilltop has quietly formed within the Kanto new council. There should be no problem in broadly dividing the samurai families into the Hojo clan and other samurai families except the Hojo clan. The Hojo clan can no longer
I was pushed to the forefront for once. But I still don’t know whether this is a blessing or a curse.
As for the imperial companions who copied the shogunate's setup, this honorary group actually included the former Mino guardian Toki Noriyun, who was expelled by his favorite Saito Michizanko Kakami twenty years ago. He relied on Oda Nobuhide and the court.
Kurakage could barely regain power for a while. Later, the Asakura family and the Saito family reached peace, and Oda Nobuhide formed an alliance with Saito Michizan, forcing Toki Yoriyun to join the Rokkaku family from afar.
Unfortunately, Rokkaku Sadayori passed away at this time. Rokkaku Yoshiken's abilities and skills could not be compared with his wise and powerful father. Toki Noraiun's life became more and more miserable, and finally he had to go to Kanto to live in Japan.
The Tuqi family was divided, and Tuqi, the lord of Wanxi City in the Shanghui Kingdom, lived in Lai Chu.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki was interested in revitalizing the famous samurai family, and the good-for-nothing family governor, who was known as the "Toki no hawk" because he was good at painting, especially eagles, became a figure he valued. Toki Noriun successfully became the imperial minister, accompanying many and half of them.
Although he is a direct descendant of Genji, he only adjusts his personal life as a cultural person. His own political ability is not very important.
In comparison, another character is much more powerful, that is the former Takeda family governor Takeda Nobutora. The Imagawa family was really defeated and couldn't hold on to Kakegawa Castle in Toe Province, which marked the complete withdrawal of the Imagawa family's power from Suruga Province and its complete decline.
, his traitorous son Takeda Shingen once again betrayed his trust and attacked one of his own people, this time he chose Takeda Nobutora's grandson Imagawa Ujima.
Takeda Nobutora's life has been pretty good in the past twenty years. He once left Suruga country because his son-in-law Imagawa Yoshimoto teamed up with his son to deceive him. He went to Kyoto and served as the imperial minister of the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiharu for several years. The famous sword Sosanzuo
The text was obtained from Miyoshi Sozo during that period.
Later, I discovered that the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiharu was really not doing very well. He often practiced sprinting and went to the resort resort of Omi Sakamoto to cultivate his body and mind. As time passed, Takeda Nobutora also felt that his spirits were waning. Just a few days before Ashikaga Yoshitoki went to Raku.
After a month, he reconciled with his son-in-law Imagawa Yoshimoto and returned to Suruga Province to spend his remaining years in peace.
Unexpectedly, this peaceful life in his later years was completely broken again after more than ten years. Takeda Nobutora was not a gentle and humble martial artist. The reason why he was so powerful in Kanto that year that Ashikaga Yoshiharu called him the "Tiger General of the Eastern Kingdom" was because of this.
He fought bravely and always took the lead and was feared. As a family governor, he had a very bad temper and would often scold those who were dissatisfied with the family. The reason for his exile was the backlash caused by his execution of several family members who repeatedly opposed him.
The tempered Takeda Nobutora was very angry at the rebellious tiger. Even though he had a fiery temperament and was like a powder keg, his nature was still a traditional warrior who hated evil and followed the rules. Therefore, he rebelled against his rebellious son Takeda Shingen again and again.
Angry about attacking relatives.
Takeda Shingen first exiled Takeda Nobutora, his father, and then poisoned Takeda Nobutora's grandson, Taro Yoshinobu. Now, it was his son-in-law's family who also had his precious grandson, the Imagawa clan, and he actually attacked Taro Yoshinobu's wife, who was Takeda Nobutora.
His granddaughter Reimatsuin was forcibly sent back to Suruga Country. This series of measures made him completely disappointed with Takeda Shingen.
On the way to Kakegawa Castle, Takeda Nobutora couldn't help but became furious. He left Kanto and went to Ashikaga Yoshi to seek a way to punish Takeda Shingen. As soon as the Imagawa clan saw that this was a no-go, he ordered the samurai to send people to escort Wu.
The helpless Imagawa Rei Shoin and her only bloodline Enhime, who was born to Taro Yoshinobu, came to Kanto to seek refuge with Ashikaga Yoshitoki.
Probably that means that he wants Ashikaga Yoshitoki to fall in love with the young and beautiful widow Imagawa Rei Shoin. If a boy and a half girl are born together with Ii Naotora's favor, maybe the Imagawa family can surpass the Oda family and become the Nagao family.
On the same page, Ashikaga Yoshito didn't care much about such similar means. During the process of pacifying Kanto, various samurai sent girls under various names in the hope that Lord Kanto would like them, but how could he imitate those hungry men?
He always wanted to take advantage of women when he saw them, so the Imagawa family's little plan came to nothing unexpectedly.
The settlement of Edo Castle and the massive construction work marked the establishment of a new regime in Kanto. During the three-monthly Kanto Review, Ashikaga Yoshitoki announced in a high profile a huge plan to comprehensively revive the Kanto samurai. The core of the plan was to rebuild the Bando Hachihei clan as a
The master's imperial family system, this huge structure once again shocked the Kanto samurai family.
However, different meanings were proposed for the Kanto samurai on the spot. It is true that the Bando Hachihei clan is powerful in Kanto and even the world, but several of these Hachihei clans have existed in name only. For example, the Hatakeyama clan, a direct descendant of the Chichibu Party, was succeeded by the Ashikaga clan.
The current clan is Hatakeyama Takamasa who fought hard at Takaya Castle in Kawachi Province. There are many branch families in this party. The Oshu Kasai clan and the Kai-Oyamada clan are all representative families.
Miura Michizun, the direct descendant of the Miura Party, was killed by Hojo Soun, and is currently in a state of extinct heir apparent. The actual situation is that Masaki Tokishige, the descendant of the Kamizuri Satomi clan, and the Masaki Tokitada brothers are the direct descendants of Miura Michizun.
As a legacy, the Miura Party still has a powerful sect. That is Mori Ashina, a direct descendant of the Sahara clan of the Miura Party.
The direct descendants of the Kamakura Party are currently the Shirai and Sosha Nagao families, Ashikaga Nagao, and Echigo Nagao are all powerful branch families. As for whether the direct descendants of the Kamakura Party are the Kajiwara family, the Oba family, or the Nagao family, the debate has never stopped.
However, the first two families rose to prominence in the Genpei era and produced world-famous generals. The Nagao family was relatively low-key, and it was not until the Muromachi era that they completely exploded.
There are currently two Chiba Party members competing for the throne. Chiba Yonzune, who is a direct descendant of the Musashi Chiba clan, has returned to the Shimo Kingdom with the support of Ashikaga Yoshitoki. He is currently intimidating Chiba Nobutomi, the governor of the Chiba clan, and the branch of the Chiba Party is probably Saka.
The most numerous branch of the Higashi Hachihei clan, known as the Chiba Six Clan, the Higashi clan, the Soma clan, the Watari clan, the Kokubu clan, and the Osuga clan are mainly concentrated in Oshu, Kanto and other places, and the important ministers of the Mikawa Matsudaira family
Osuga Gorozaemon Wei Yingao was also a member of the Chiba Party's Osuga clan.
The direct descendants of the Otaku Party are the Otatsu Sadakuni of Hitachi Province. The direct descendants of the Hojo Party have long been wiped out by Nitta Yoshisada. The Sagami Hojo clan currently being supported seems to have plans to inherit the clan, and the direct descendants of the Doi Party are missing. Yue Yue
Toi Masashige in the middle is said to be the branch closest to the direct line, and the direct line of the Kumagani Party is still living under the An Yun Mori clan.
Now the Bando Hachihei clan has long been separated from each other. It is no longer the world-famous Bando Samurai Order. After hundreds of years of reproduction, it has spawned several branch families and has not contacted each other for decades and hundreds of years.
There are many people there, and many Kanto samurai privately believe that this is impossible. Edo Lord is so ambitious that he is so ambitious that he will lose face if he fails.
Whether it is bragging or not is not clear for the time being. Just when Ashikaga Yoshiki was busy working on his wonderful plan, the latest news from Mikawa Country was delivered to his desk. Since Ashikaga Yoshiki issued the order a few months ago,
Since the crusade against Matsudaira Ieyasu, this trumpet overlord who once unified the Mikawa Kingdom has fallen from the ten-thousand-meter-high mountain into the bottomless abyss.
The people of Higashi Mikawa Province officially rebelled. The Sakurai Matsudaira clan, Ohgusa Matsudaira clan and many returning members of Nishi Mikawa who had already returned to the rebellion rebelled again. This time, the rebel lineup was much larger than that of Kikuichi. Ashikaga a few months ago
Yoshitoki had no time to pay attention to the turmoil in Mikawa Kingdom, and now that the series of invasions across Kanto had come to an end, it was reasonable for him to turn to revenge on Matsudaira Ieyasu when he had some free time.
The core military strength of the Ashikaga family is a system established mainly with the Mikawa samurai. Even if Kinai samurai, Echigo samurai, and elite samurai from Shinano, Ueno, Etchu and other countries are mixed into this process, it still cannot change the Mikawa samurai.
With the huge influence of the backbone, these samurai got along very well in the Ashikaga family of Kamizuki, and the feedback influence was transmitted to the Mikawa Kingdom, which was a potential force affecting Mikawa.
This kind of power is difficult to directly manifest in the form of military conflict. The best way is to use the fuse triggered by a certain incident to unite them to attack the enemy. Unfortunately, Ju Yikui's preparations a few months ago were somewhat unprepared.
Being rushed and triggered too early gave Matsudaira Ieyasu a chance to invite reinforcements to make a comeback.
This time, Ashikaga Yoshitoki invited a crusade order, but Matsudaira Ieyasu was completely unable to recruit anyone. Oda Nobunaga owed a huge debt of gratitude to him once, and he had no reason and no way to invite the Oda army again.
The Mikawa Kingdom was in chaos, and Oda Nobunaga would not go against the shogunate and Kanto Duke Ashikaga Yoshitoki just for the sake of a small alliance. Matsudaira Ieyasu had become an abandoned pawn.
The shogunate's crusade order was not issued to the Mikawa Kingdom alone, but was circulated throughout the world in the form of a newspaper. It was written in black and white that he had killed a member of the shogunate, Kira Mikawa Mamoru, and Guan Shiro Konoe Maekyu's father-in-law, Kira Jibu Shaosuke.
Now the whole world knows that there is a vicious thief in Mikawa, Matsudaira Ieyasu. Even if he defends himself and tells the world that he did not kill the Kira family, no one will believe him.
In the blink of an eye, Matsudaira Ieyasu once again faced the crisis of being trapped in Okazaki Castle and acting as a bare-bones commander. The Mikawa Samurai Order, which he was proud of, all turned their backs on their master, Meitetsu, to protect themselves. The uncles and nephews Ishikawa Ienari and Ishikawa Sumasa were in a state of turmoil. Sakai
Tadanobu stepped in to coordinate Sakai Masachika and Sakai Tadatsuki, while Honda Hirotaka and Honda were shaken by Honda Tokimasa's admonishment letters many times.
The brief wavering did not destroy the Matsudaira family. More than half of the eighteen Matsudaira families still support the Matsudaira Ieyasu, Ishikawa, Sakai, Honda, Okubo, Abe, Torii, Naito and other powerful families.
Loyal to Matsudaira Ieyasu, he still has three thousand fighting soldiers who have not yet rebelled. This is the last strength of the Matsudaira family.
Since the crusade order was issued last fall, countless small-scale competitions broke out in the long winter from Yonglu 4th to Yonglu 5th year. Small-scale battles involving hundreds of people occurred almost every day, and battles involving thousands of people occurred every once in a while.
There will be a situation where Kikuichi and the remnants Arakawa Yoshitsugu and Nishio Yoshitsugu will take the opportunity to regain the territory taken away by Matsudaira Ieyasu.
It's just that their sneaky behavior can only be regarded as a side effect. The war in Mikawa basically has little to do with the strong external force Kiku Ikui. These two Kira Ichimen did not play the role of commanding the generals of the expeditionary army. The two idiot armies
Too bad and too low in charisma to have almost no prestige. In the end, they still failed to win the position of general. The Three Rivers Crusade was still carried out in the form of everyone fighting on their own. These two idiots simply indulged in the sidelines.
The income is really a waste.
Faced with the domineering style of Ashikaga Yoshitoki, most of the samurai of the Mikawa Matsudaira family closely united and fought bravely under the banner of Matsudaira Ieyasu, defeating the Mikawa Crusade Army's attacks on Okazaki Castle one after another. The war in Mikawa Kingdom never stopped for a moment.
Until news came from the direction of Minami-Shinano that Ogasawara Nagato's five thousand intervention troops were on the move at any time, Matsudaira Ieyasu was really afraid.
If the previous actions against Mikawa Kingdom could only be regarded as a small fight in Mikawa Kingdom, then Ogasawara led the army over the difficult mountain road for a long time, from the winding mountain road in Shimoina County to overcoming numerous obstacles and passing through the new
Nogochi entered the northern part of Shitara County and then broke into Mikawa Country through Nagashino, which shows that Ashikaga Yoshitoki really planned to take action against himself.
Today it is an army of 5,000 people led by Ogasawara Nagatomo, and tomorrow it may be an army of 10,000 people led by some general. Once the Kanto Ashikaga Army is allowed to break into Mikawa Kingdom, even the conquest general Ashikaga Yoshiteru will not be able to control this army.
The strong army drove them away, hoping that Oda Nobunaga's in-laws and allies would persuade them to leave, which was just as nonsense as Ashikaga Yoshitomo persuaded Oda Nobunaga not to interfere with Mikawa Kingdom.
Matsudaira Ieyasu locked himself in the castle tower for three days and did not leave the house for three days. Amidst the urgings of the family members outside the door, he clenched his fists and said bitterly: "Is escape the only option? My life is really
What an unexpected failure! Grandfather, please tell me what Ieyasu should do! Are you really going to leave your homeland?"
The anxious footsteps of the samurai outside the door came heavily. Matsudaira Ieyasu was very familiar with this footsteps. He soon thought of the short and competitive Honda Tadakatsu, and the brave Honda Hirotaka. Honda had many times
, Sakai Tadashi, Okubo Tadoshi and others, the expressions on his faces become very wonderful.
The Matsudaira retainers are not the top samurai group of this era. They don’t have many characteristics except for being more loyal and brave. They are not as brave as the Kai samurai and not as sturdy as the Echigo samurai. They can be ranked the strongest in Tokaido but in Kanto.
It's not too conspicuous, not to mention that the essence of the Mikawa samurai has been taken away by Ashikaga Yoshitoki, and the Matsudaira retainers group has been unable to increase in strength without replenishment. The Matsudaira family has finally accumulated this little wealth and is treated like a treasure by Matsudaira Ieyasu. It's a big deal.
Now he has to face an embarrassing choice.
He could guess how deep Ashikaga Yoshitoki's hatred for him was. The small amount of Mikawa Kira's family was burned down in a fire. One great-uncle, one uncle, one brother, and a large number of family elders all died, and then counting
There were hundreds of samurai maids with the same surname who died all over the city. This deadly feud was extremely deep. If Ashikaga Yoshitoki was caught, I don't know how cruel the methods would be to deal with him.
Matsudaira Ieyasu said bitterly: "Although I am still reluctant to admit my weakness, if I don't escape at this time, maybe I really won't have a chance to escape in the future! On the other hand, running away is also a good choice. As long as I, Ieyasu, survive,
One day I will return to Mikawa Country and take back what belongs to me! I will definitely bear in mind the humiliation that Prime Minister Ashikaga inflicted on my Ieyasu today!"
After repeated deliberation, Matsudaira Ieyasu made a bold decision. He wanted to abandon the territory of Mikawa Kingdom and escape from Okazaki Castle with three thousand troops. He fled to Owari Kingdom and joined Oda Nobunaga. This was
The crazy decision he made when he was forced to a dead end was far more thorough than shrinking into Okazaki Castle and nominally subordinate to the Oda family. It was also the only way to force Ogasawara to retreat for a long time.
As long as he is willing to surrender his identity and take the initiative to join Oda Nobunaga, dragging the protective Oda family into the whirlpool of the Mikawa dispute, Ogasawara Nagasaki will lose moral support when he attacks Mikawa in the name of subjugating Matsudaira Ieyasu.
When Sando controls Mikawa Kingdom, he has to face the attacks from both sides of the Takeda family and the Oda family, and he must always be wary of Matsudaira Ieyasu secretly returning to Mikawa Kingdom to stir up trouble.
"This cunning Matsudaira Ieyasu ran so fast. What should I do now?" Ogasawara Nagatoki was only a general of a town and not a general with military decision-making power. When he defeated Matsudaira Ieyasu, he took the opportunity to seize the territory.
It was fighting against the autumn wind. No matter which side of the warriors there was no reason to blame him.
Fujisawa Yorika thought for a while and said, "How about we just pretend we don't know and capture Okazaki Castle by force?"
Todoroki Sadhou grinned and said: "I'm afraid it won't work! Our troops are still trekking in the valley of Shitara County, and it has been some time since the news of Matsudaira Ieyasu's escape came. Let me wait and kill him again.
It will take at least two or three days to get to Okazaki Castle, and by then the entire Mikawa Kingdom... Tokaido should know the news!"
Ogasawara stared at the simple map for a long time and frowned. No matter how good his plan was, he could not keep up with the force majeure of the changing situation. Matsudaira Ieyasu's escape from Owari made their military situation very awkward. Should they continue to pursue or turn around and return?
Regardless, it becomes a problem before Ogasawara Nagaki.
If you look at the map, you will know that Shinano Province and Owari Province are not bordering each other. The mountain road from Minami Shinano to Higashi Mikawa is very difficult to walk. Then from Higashi Mikawa through Nishi Mikawa and into Owari Province, the road is quite a long loop.
It would be a fool's errand to attack the Owari Kingdom with no support or protection due to a long supply line, and Oda Nobunaga was an in-law and ally of Ashikaga Yoshitoki. Even if Ogasawara had the guts to do so, he would not dare to attack the Owari Kingdom.
If a diplomatic dispute breaks out, he will be the one to take the blame.
Matsudaira Ieyasu's escape from Mikawa Country gave the Minami-Shinano Army no excuse to attack Mikawa Country. Just when Ogasawara was hesitating for a long time, he received a piece of news that made people laugh or cry. Arakawa Yihiro and Nishio Yoshiji took advantage of Matsudaira Ieyasu's escape.
Seizing Okazaki Castle and all the territory of the Matsudaira family, he then sent constant messages to Ogasawara Nagatoki telling him that Matsudaira Ieyasu had fled, and that he could now return to Shinano Country by the same route without worrying about the safety of Mikawa Country. His words seemed to
It seems that he is afraid that Ashikaga Yoshi will send him to seize the territory.
Ogasawara was very embarrassed by this drama for a long time. Baba came all the way to Mikawa Country to help out just to get some benefits, but now that he didn't get any benefits, he drove away these five thousand hard-working soldiers, and even
They were not willing to pay for a sip of water or a meal, which almost made the Minami-Shinano Legion collectively angry.
"What these two bastards did, I will always report to His Highness Kikata!" Ogasawara was so angry that he didn't speak for a whole day. That evening, he ordered the entire army to stop advancing. To this day, the Minami-Shinano Army is still there.
It's really hard to stay. Let alone go and rob the walled cities that own the land in Dongsanhe. The close relatives of the lords of these walled cities may serve as generals under the Duke of Guandong. Going to attack these cities is asking for trouble.
The only territory that could be grabbed was taken away by Arakawa Yoshitsune and Nishio Yoshitsugu, so the Minami-Shinano Army's stay had little meaning. If you insist on staying and not leaving, it will violate the original purpose of the expedition order laid out by Yoshitoshi.
, when Arakawa Yoshitsune and Nishio Yoshitsugu filed a complaint to embarrass the governor, it would also arouse the strong dissatisfaction of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru. The Kanto Duke's succession order specifically stated that no one could set foot on the Tokaido Road without an edict.
This article does not refer to the Tokaido alone but warns Ashikaga Yoshitoki that on the basis of his original territory, he will not care about the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto and the shogunate in those remote places, but he must never take any step west of these territories. It does not belong to
It is even more forbidden to enter the Hokuriku Echizen Country under the jurisdiction of the Kanto Kingdom.
It was okay for Ashikaga Yoshitoki to take advantage of the opportunity to avenge his family and enter the Mikawa Kingdom. Even if he took the opportunity to seize a piece of territory and pass it on to his nephew Kira Manjumaru, it would not be a big problem, but there was still Arakawa Yoshitoki in the Mikawa Kingdom.
The existence of Hiro and Nishio Yoshiji, these two bastards who failed to achieve anything but failed, were definitely not talented in fighting, but their talent in grabbing territory was second to none.
Arakawa Yoshihiro even shamelessly told his nephew Nishio Yoshitsugu that since he was young, he should let him take charge of the territory of Mikawa Country for a few years before handing it over to him. His words seemed to indicate that he wanted to adopt Nishio Yoshitsugu, but in fact
He also has two adult sons who are staring at Nishio Yoshiji's territory with wide eyes and shining eyes.
Nishio Yoshitsugu is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. He has served as executive officer for Oda Nobunaga for more than ten years, and his ability to carry out internal affairs is unknown. At least his handling skills and his ability to be cunning are very good, and he can tangle with Arakawa Yoshitsune.
The fact that he has not lost for so long shows that he is an excellent master of tricks.
These two bastards who are amateurs in foreign wars and experts in civil wars happen to be direct descendants of the original Tojo Kira family. One is Manzhumaru's great-uncle and the other is an uncle. They are the first to seize the territory left by the Matsudaira family, allowing Xiao Li to
What reason does this foreign minister have to continue to stay for a long time? If there is no reason, then he has to retreat, even if he is unwilling to do so, he has to leave.
…
Half a month has passed since I saw Matsudaira Ieyasu appear during the evaluation meeting in Qingzhou City for half a month. Oda Nobunaga's butt has never left this seat. He was in a very unhappy mood when he was suddenly dismissed by any of his allies.
His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, listening to Matsudaira Ieyasu's passionate words, and he cursed in his heart: "This bastard Takechiyo will cause trouble for my family, and insists on dragging my family into that mess in Mikawa Country. He is really intentional.
Bad bastard!"
Of course, Matsudaira Ieyasu had bad intentions. Oda Nobunaga was by no means as innocent and helpless as he appeared on the surface. He had long been coveted by the Mikawa samurai, the most powerful soldier in Tokaido, and his weak Owari soldiers cost a fortune.
It was still very difficult to defeat Mino with the strength of two tigers. He often fantasized that he had a large group of brave Mikawa warriors, and they might be able to easily capture the country of Mino.
While Oda Nobunaga secretly scolded Matsudaira Ieyasu for finding something for him to do, he also secretly wondered whether this was the legendary wish coming true, or whether it would be more appropriate to call him sleepy when he met a pillow. As for whether eating it would cause indigestion or be poisoned by Ashikaga
The possibility that Yoshitoki was forced to vomit it out was simply not considered in Oda Nobunaga's logical thinking. He, Oda Saburo, believed that he would not be much worse than Ashikaga Kamisaburo.
As early as more than ten years ago, he had said that Saburo Oda and Saburo Kira were the most special in the world. Only the two of them could achieve their ambition to dominate the world and even conquer the Seven Seas. Only a dozen years later, this prophecy has been fulfilled.
Halfway through, Kira Saburo suddenly emerged from his cocoon and transformed into a butterfly, Ashikaga Kamisuzaburo. Sitting in the northern Kanto region, he became the number one samurai in the Eastern Kingdom.
"And I, Saburo Nobunaga, Oda, can definitely do it! I believe that I can touch my own destiny. I have clearly felt the fierce beating pulse of this era, and my era is coming! This opportunity
Even if Matsudaira Ieyasu defected to our family, this would be an important change in changing the Tokaido. I believe Ashikaga Kamisuzaburo did not realize that this would happen! But this is fine, my family can tell him confidently that the world will be divided into two parts with Mikawa as the boundary!
"
Oda Nobunaga's secondary temper suddenly broke out, and he waved his hand and said domineeringly: "Takechiyo, please stay! I need a powerful warrior like you to help the Oda family complete its great cause. These days, I have been thinking hard about a name.
, as long as we seize Inabayama Castle, we will take action! As for the town government official, I will leave it to my family to deal with... In short, Takechiyo will definitely not go wrong by following my family!"
"Thank you for your protection, brother. I will never forget your kindness to my brother, Ieyasu." A flash of light flashed in Matsudaira Ieyasu's eyes. He immediately changed to an excited expression and bowed down respectfully. He made his clothes sincerely convinced and looked forward to this answer with great joy.
The excited Oda retainers didn't notice this brief change at all.
"The world will change in the hands of my Oda family! The one who protects the world and maintains the family is the one who will be blessed forever! This Eongroku year is the era when our Oda family will rise!" Oda Nobunaga suddenly stood up.
He stood up, clenched his fists, and stared at the afterglow of the setting sun setting between the distant mountains. His whole body seemed to be rimmed with gold by the sunlight, and the whole room of warriors were stunned.
Oda Nobunaga walked to the corridor in high spirits, pointed to the warm sunset and said: "Look, everyone! That is the afterglow that symbolizes the end of the old era. What rises early tomorrow morning is the glory that symbolizes the new era! Please hold tight, everyone."
Follow the banner of our family and strive to become the leader of the new era!"
There was an uproar in the Ohiro room. Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneaki shouted excitedly, and the calmer Niwa Nagahide, Sasana Narimasa, Sakuma Nobumori, Shibata Katsuie and others also had similar expressions.
He was so excited that not a single warrior in the entire room seemed to stand up to question the governor's words.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi's face flushed with excitement, he jumped up, clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "New era! That is a new era that belongs to me! I, Hideyoshi, will follow my lord and become a powerful samurai in the world. That belongs to our Owari samurai."
New era!”
"New era onboard! Oh oh..."
Oda Nobunaga put the folding fan in the collar behind his neck, stood on the corridor with his hands folded, turned around and looked into the hall, observing with interest the excited retainers laughing and playing like children celebrating the New Year.
Matsudaira Ieyasu suddenly had an illusion at this moment. Oda Nobunaga's entire body was shrouded in golden light, and the golden light shone like a statue of a god, exuding infinite divine power.
"It seems that I made the right choice this time! Let's see how my brother becomes the leader of the new era!" Matsudaira Ieyasu showed a faint smile, and then stood up and danced and cheered with the singing and dancing samurai in the hall.
, at this moment he seemed to be back to his childhood more than ten years ago, laughing and making trouble happily.
Oda Nobunaga stared at the setting sun on the horizon in a daze, and after a while he suddenly murmured to himself: "In the new era, I, Oda Saburo, will build a new era of my own... Ashikaga Kamizisaburo, I will be waiting for you in the near future.
The arrival! You will definitely come...definitely!"
