Chapter Five Hundred and Nineteenth Little Lotus Dew Pointy
Takenaka Shigeharu had never encountered such a thing. Oda Nobunaga had a surly temperament and acted wantonly.
She originally wanted to die to wash away the humiliation, but when she heard the deep meaning hidden in Oda Nobunaga's words, she gritted her teeth and followed her son down first.
After she left, Niwa Nagahide sighed and said.
"Your Highness, Takenaka Shigeharu has some status in Simino. You should not play tricks on her and discourage the Mino samurai family from serving her."
Oda Nobunaga twitched the corner of his mouth and said it didn't matter.
"He's just a lost dog, there's nothing to worry about. He's quite smart, so he can be given to Kinoshita Hideyoshi as a helper."
Seeing that Niwa Nagahide still wanted to persuade him, Oda Nobunaga said impatiently.
"I know! Winning her over to the Mino Takeshi family, I understand!
The only way to give her an official status is to send her to Kinoshita Hideyoshi as a powerful force, right?
Mi Wu Niang, you are becoming more and more bold now, I haven't settled the accounts with you yet about the Maeda Toshi family incident!"
Niwa Changxiu's smile became more and more bitter. She was also kind-hearted to help her old friend. Who would have thought that Maeda Toshiie was so capable, but it would endanger herself and earn a look from her master.
Oda Nobunaga vented his feelings and decided that the matter was over. She thought carefully and said.
"Mi Wuniang, don't let go of the infiltration in the direction of Simeon. Don't be stingy with money and food, and try your best to bribe the Siminong samurai family to surrender to me, especially Ando Mamoru.
Ichikun is about to leave for Kita-Omi, but those guys from Nishi-Mino are fierce in appearance and soft in heart. They say they don't want it, but the border is open.
After he safely crossed the border, he immediately asked the spies to spread the news in Meinong.
I want to see if Isshiki Yoshiryu can still hold back and pretend not to see it? Does she still dare to use the three people of Simeon?
Especially Ando Mamoru, who has already rebelled once, should have a good life in a few days."
Niwa Nagahide fell to the ground and kowtowed, then resigned and went to communicate with Takenaka Shigeharu.
Oda Nobunaga squinted her eyes and thought. She deliberately pretended to be stupid and ignored Maeda Toshiie's Mikawa military exploits, but after weighing the pros and cons, she gritted her teeth and admitted it.
Good luck to this guy.
———
Kinoshita Village, Aichi County, Owari Province.
Several people in the village gathered around, and a girl held a tree branch cut into a wooden stick. She shouted and stepped forward, slashing at the opposing warrior Ji.
Warrior Na Ji scolded.
"too slow!"
Then he dodged sideways and tapped the girl's calf with his toe, causing her to trip down.
This Samurai Hime is none other than Masakatsu Hachisuga, the new governor of the Hachisuka family.
She shook her head, having nothing to say.
It was extremely frustrating for her to be a sparring partner in her capacity.
The Hachisuka family is an old samurai family of Owari, and she has seen the changes in Owari these days.
Oda Nobunaga promoted Kinoshita Hideyoshi step by step, making her an ashigaru, and treating her as a commoner for her meritorious service became a typical propaganda of the Hime Samurai.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi became the target of the Owari samurai to vent their emotions. Masakatsu Hachisuga was frightened, but he had no choice.
Oda Nobunaga made it clear that she would be tied to Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and she would be responsible for assisting Kinoshita Hideyoshi in his work.
She had to help train these relatives of the Kinoshita family, because no one among the Owari warriors was willing to serve in the Kinoshita family. Apart from his relatives, Kinoshita Hideyoshi could not get anyone.
The girl who fought against her was named Kato Kiyomasa, a relative and child of Kinoshita Hideyoshi.
In addition to Hideyoshi, there were also people watching around her, including her sister Kinoshita Hidenaga, and fellow relatives Fukushima Masanori and Asano Nagamasa.
These four people were helpers hired by Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and Masakatsu Hoshisuga had never heard of them in the Owari samurai circles.
Judging from the situation of this girl, Kato Kiyomasa, she is not from an orthodox Hime Samurai background.
She sighed and said to Kinoshita Hideyoshi.
"Kinoshita-sama, I have tried all these skills, but my foundation is shallow and I still need to study hard and practice hard."
She spoke implicitly, but Kinoshita Hideyoshi's face turned slightly red.
She heard the implication of Haizuka Masakatsu's words, but she had no choice.
Oda Nobunaga made a very generous move this time, installing a thousand stones in Kinoshita Village, which made her reach the sky in one step, which was enough for her to recruit several brave warriors to serve as officials.
But she couldn't recruit him, and the entire Owari martial arts circle rejected her.
The conscience of heaven and earth, she gained the identity of a Samurai Hime by joining the Kinoshita family, so she is no longer a commoner!
But under Oda Nobunaga's deliberate distortion, she became a representative of common people's efforts and the pride and aspiration of the Ashigaru class.
It sounds like a very inspiring story, but it makes Kinoshita Hideyoshi feel chilled and secretly complaining.
She was not stupid, she finally understood why Oda Nobunaga gave her so many rewards. It turned out to be money to buy her life.
With a clear goal to vent his emotions, the Owari samurai's anger was directed at Kinoshita Hideyoshi.
With a target set up for people to vent their anger, Oda Nobunaga could sit on the sidelines and silently advance his own reforms.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi could not find help from the samurai family, so she could only place more emphasis on her own relatives. The family members under her command were not of high origin, so she had no choice but to become a representative of the common people.
The two of them had different thoughts and were both dissatisfied with the current situation. However, the mountain of Oda Nobunaga was pressing down on them. Even if they wanted to break up, they could only grit their teeth and persevere.
We were looking sad here, and a peasant woman at the entrance of the village reported that some Lord Ji Warriors had arrived.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi was surprised, there is still a Wu family willing to come to her these days?
A group of people came to the village entrance and saw Niwa Nagahide and several Hime warriors. Kinoshita Hideyoshi was overjoyed and stepped forward to bow.
"Niwa-sama, I didn't expect you to be here. I sent someone to spread the news earlier. It's my turn to listen to your teachings."
Niwa Nagahide smiled slightly.
"Your mouth is really full of honey, and you are too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Come, let me introduce you to someone.
This is Lord Takenaka Shigeharu, the force newly assigned to you by His Highness."
Kinoshita Hideyoshi looked at the warrior Hime next to Niwa Nagahide, who had an extraordinary bearing. But he looked a little gloomy and depressed for no reason.
But she was still very happy. Oda Nobunaga tricked her, but at least he didn't trick her into death. He still gave her a chance and help. There was Masakatsu Hoshizuka before him, and this person came later.
She bowed politely.
"This is our first meeting. Please give me your advice in the future, Mr. Takenaka."
Takenaka Shigeharu silently watched her bow, and then glanced at Niwa Nagahide who was smiling next to her.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi was just happy to have Samurai Hime come to help, but Masakatsu Hachisuga next to him opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it.
"Are you the Takenaka family governor, Takenaka Shigeharu, who secured thirty thousand stones in Bodhi Mountain City and is famous for his resourcefulness?"
Kinoshita Hideyoshi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but take another look at the delicate yet fragile woman in front of him.
This person has such a powerful background? How could he become my power?
Seeing that Takenaka Shigeharu had a filthy face and was silent, she had no choice but to look at Niwa Nagahide for help.
Niwa Nagahide and Takenaka Shigeharu had some talks before coming, revealing Oda Nobunaga's reform intentions and Kinoshita Hideyoshi's role.
Takenaka Shigeharu knew that this matter was important, and Oda Nobunaga thought highly of her by arranging it this way.
She had nowhere to go after leaving Mino, and she didn't want to sink into the world, so she subconsciously came to Owari Country to meet the rough-and-tumble Oda Nobunaga.
Anyway, Oda Nobunaga gave her a choice. Under Niwa Nagahide's persuasion, she reluctantly followed.
Niwa Nagahide patiently advised.
"Master Takenaka, if you really have no interest, then leave Owari.
Your Highness, I will explain it to you. Please don’t take her joke to heart, it’s just a joke.”
Takenaka Shigeharu took a deep breath, bowed to Niwa Nagahide, and said.
"Niwa-sama, you're welcome. Now that I'm here, I won't regret it."
She bowed deeply to Kinoshita Hideyoshi again and said.
"I'm going to take care of you again in Shimotake. Please take care of me in the future, Mr. Kinoshita."
