Chapter five hundred and seventeenth add incense just for the king
The Owari warriors are very confused.
On the one hand, they followed Oda Nobunaga to expand and had a lot of food.
On the other hand, the lord is making great efforts to destroy the foundation of the Wu family's privileges.
Their conflicting moods cannot withstand any provocation.
However, at this sensitive time, Sasaki Narimasa took the initiative to get close to Oda Nobunaga and kneel down to lick her. How could Oda's retainers like her?
Sasana Narimasa was sitting on pins and needles, while Maeda Toshiie looked on with cold eyes.
Both she and Oda Nobunaga were reforming in Ashigaru.
This time when Higashi Mino was encroaching, Maeda Toshiie was able to make outstanding contributions, which was also due to Shiba Ashari's bravery, but she was not as extreme as Oda Nobunaga.
The Shiba family's ashigaru laws focus on taking care of husband and children, providing comfort to the widow, and relieving ashigaru of worries.
There are also ascending passages, giving brave men the opportunity to marry into the family, inherit the name of the samurai family, and become a Ji warrior.
This method is relatively mild, and only a few outstanding ones among the Ashugaru have the chance to cross the barrier between the two classes, and the samurai can tolerate it.
After all, we are in troubled times, and the truth is to be strong. In order to survive, it is understandable to make some adjustments.
But Oda Nobunaga was unwilling to do this.
She has no interest in Ashigaru's family and funeral affairs. Dead people have no value and are not worth wasting resources.
If she wants to realize the ambition of the people of the world in her lifetime, she must adopt a more radical military system that will produce faster results.
She focused on class crossing.
Warrior Ji serves as an official, serves the princess and the emperor, and seeks rewards. This is the privilege of the military family.
On the other hand, Oda Nobunaga established the two-level military positions of Ashigaru-head and Ashigaru-general, and appointed the Hime Samurai to serve.
On the other hand, Ashigaru are allowed to hold the military position of Ashura head based on their military merits. You must know that Ashura head has a rank and salary, which is the rank and salary of the Hime samurai.
If the Ashigaru and the Hime Samurai hold the same military position and have the same salary, then what's the difference between them?
Today I am an Ashigaru head, and tomorrow I am an Ashigaru general. In the end, can I join the Naomidan or the retainer corps and become a genealogical retainer?
Isn’t this the collapse of the Wu family’s etiquette and music?
Maeda Toshiie looked at the chaos within the Oda family coldly, but did not like the incompetence and rage of the Oda retainers.
He concluded that Oda Nobunaga would succeed.
The Ashigaru will be completely separated from the category of peasants and soldiers. After the separation of peasants and soldiers, they will become the most important support for the Oda family in their foreign campaigns.
Oda's retainers were far behind Oda Nobunaga, who seemed to be deviant, but every step he took was greedy to increase his own strength.
Whether it's conquering Mino to acquire the entire Nobi Plain, Rakuza to accumulate financial resources, converting to Nichiren Buddhism to acquire a craftsman's trading town, or the current separation of farmers and soldiers.
Her goals are very clear, she wants food, money, weapons, and soldiers.
Her strength will only get stronger and stronger. How can the conservative Oda retainers fight her? In the final analysis, the samurai family's actions should be based on strength.
If you talk about tradition, I have a strong fist. If you want to cause trouble, I still have a strong fist.
As the strength of both sides gradually increases, Oda's retainers will definitely give in. If you are not convinced, you can die!
Maeda Toshiie felt deeply excited about this.
Oda Nobunaga is getting stronger and stronger. Sooner or later, she will go to Luo and threaten the nearby Sibo Territory.
I, Maeda Toshiie, will follow her and become stronger and stronger, becoming a force that the Shiba family must take seriously.
Mr. Yiyin, you will definitely need me and win me over. At that time, I don’t want anything, I can give you anything.
All I want is you.
———
With the full support of Shibata Katsuie, Maeda Toshiie quickly organized his army and marched towards Mikawa.
The mountainous area south of Owari was originally the territory of Owari Shiba, so military supplies were organized nearby, and the advance was extremely fast.
After entering Nishi Mikawa, samurai loyal to the Matsudaira family along the way came to help.
People from all over the country moved closer to the two cities of Okazaki Nishio, but Maeda Toshiie was not blocked.
When she arrived at the middle section of the Yahagi River and contacted Okazaki Castle, Matsudaira Motoyasu's side was also happy.
Matsudaira Motoyasu successfully ambushed and defeated the nun soldiers of Shouganaji Temple in Shodozaka.
With the help of the Okubo clan, Honda concentrated his forces many times in Kamiwada to join forces with the Okubo clan and defeated them.
Then, good news also came from the north.
Honda Tadakatsu lurked by the river and attacked Ueno Sakai's army who was crossing the river halfway. He actually repelled the Iwazu troops in the direction of Iwazu in one battle.
Several armies of the Matsudaira family had just reunited at Okazaki Castle, and reinforcements from the Maeda Toshie family had arrived.
Matsudaira Motoyasu did not expect the reinforcements to arrive so quickly, so he was overjoyed and went out of the city to greet them in person.
Outside Okazaki Castle, Matsudaira Motoyasu expressed his gratitude to Maeda Toshiie and took her back to the castle tower to discuss matters.
After the two Fangji warriors sat down, Matsudaira Motoyasu asked urgently.
"Li Jiaji, how many people did you bring this time?"
Maeda Toshiie bowed and answered.
"The Shiba Army and the Oda Army have a total of four semi-ready troops, with a total of 1,100 people."
Matsudaira Motoyasu shook his fist.
"Great! Thank you very much, Li Jiaji, you came so quickly."
Maeda Toshiie said modestly.
"Her Majesty Oda gave the order, and I only acted according to her orders.
The Sibo Territory is close to the Three Rivers Country, and the supply line is not long, so it naturally comes quickly, so it is not a big deal."
Matsudaira Motoyasu glanced at her, feeling a little confused.
Maeda Toshiie is a minister of the Shiba family, and he always obeys Oda Nobunaga. This statement is a bit harsh.
This girl is extremely intelligent, unlike those warrior women who are rude and say wrong things. Is there some reason why I don't know?
Matsudaira Motoyasu initially formed an alliance with Oda Nobunaga. Although he was forced by the civil strife in the Imagawa family, he had to choose another family to seek support.
But the big reason that made her determined to go back-to-back with Oda Nobunaga was the strong rise of Yoshiyoshi Shiba in recent years.
Maeda Toshiie, as the acting official of the Shiba family in Owari, stepped in to coordinate the alliance between the Oda and Matsudaira families, so she dared to take this step.
Nowadays, Maeda Toshiie's attitude is strange, how can she not make her doubtful, so she tried it.
"Master Master Ji treated me well, and I will certainly remember it in my heart. Li Jiaji, you came to my rescue quickly, and I will also take it to heart.
Time really flies by, and everyone has grown up in the blink of an eye. Back then, Master Ji’s sister took me to play at the Sibo Guardian Mansion.
Who would have thought that that handsome little brother would become a world-famous Qianxin Gong. Looking back now, I am not very sad."
Maeda Toshiie couldn't help but want to laugh, the Matsudaira family was about to be overturned by Ichigo, but Matsudaira Motoyasu still had a leisurely and leisurely time with his own ink.
This man is too cautious and has a long life.
She knew that if she didn't give a justifiable reason, the Matsudaira family governor would be worried.
Maeda Toshiie said solemnly.
“The past is like smoke. In troubled times, who can tell what the future will be like? We still need to reflect on it from time to time.
Duke Qianxin left behind his legacy in recent times and went to work in Kanto. He is truly an extraordinary man from the Wu family, and I am not as good as him."
Matsudaira Motoyasu glanced at her in surprise. It turns out that you were unwilling to sit on the bench at Owari and turned to Oda Nobunaga. No wonder you followed her orders.
In troubled times, there are many Hime samurai who are unwilling to be lonely, and there are not many Maeda Toshiie.
After understanding the latest situation between Owari Shiba and the Oda family, Matsudaira Motoyasu stopped asking more questions and only focused on his own troubles.
