Chapter 776 Connecting the Upper and the Lower

Shibata Katsuya's fiery temper could stand his words, when the other party just finished speaking, I saw him stand up suddenly, and said angrily: "Sakuma Lao'er, it's just that the old man doesn't care about you on weekdays, but you dare to insult the old man in public, even if the lord punishes him in the future, the old man will also behead you, so as to maintain the dignity of the old man." ”

There are so many people in the room, of course, it is impossible to watch the two of them do it, and finally pull the two old ministers apart, and Shibata Katsuya is not really going to kill Sakuma Nobumori, so he also sat down on the donkey.

"Lord Takenaka, Lord Hosokawa, and the two of you don't have much thought about this, I don't know why?"

When the clan sect finished asking, he saw the two of them look at each other, and then he heard the half-soldier guard of Takenaka speak: "Do you think that the lord is too simple? Based on the understanding of the lord, the lord will never act like this, at least in the near future. ”

After hearing this, everyone, including the clan, couldn't help but be puzzled.

I heard Akechi Mitsuhide hurriedly ask, "Does Lord Takenaka have a basis?" In his opinion, although His Majesty the Emperor is not in power, he can see the descendants of the true god of sunshine, and if the emperor is abolished, then the Oda family will be cursed, and as a minister of the Oda family, it will be difficult to escape.

"Lord Wise and all of you, please think about it, the Oda family can have the strength it has today, this is all due to the wisdom of the lord, I can think of it, I'm afraid the lord has already thought of it, so if the lord is not sure, he will definitely not act like this." Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide was about to speak, he only heard Takenaka Hanbei continue: "May I ask Akechi-sama. Has the lord ever taken action? ”

"No, I didn't. But..."

"That's it. The lord has always acted without dragging his feet, since even adults have known for a long time, and the lord has not yet moved, isn't this enough to prove that the lord only has this idea for the time being, but he does not plan to do it. ”

"When Lord Takenaka said this, he remembered one thing when he came down, and after listening to it, the lord of the assessment committee this time was afraid that he would have to make a big adjustment to his family."

"Does Murai-sama have any definite news?" I only heard Sasa Chengzheng ask impatiently.

"The news is that I heard something. Probably like this, the lord decided to set up several legions in his family to fight in all directions, and this year I'm afraid the lord is ready to start sweeping the world. Takayama-sama, Shibata-sama, and Sakuma-sama should all be candidates for the Legion Commander. ”

"That's right, this shows that the lord will not take action against the public until he has eliminated other forces or fought them in fear." Hosokawa Fujitaka may have already received the news, so he is so quiet.

Since the lord has no intention of making a move for the time being, everyone present is also relieved, and there are three adults in this faction who have obtained the position of the commander of the legion, which is really a great joy, which can be seen from this one thing. The strength of this faction is much stronger than that of the Kinoshita faction, and the lord still trusts Takayama Lord.

But after hearing the news, the Gaoshan clan sect. But I can't be happy, once the legion is established, then each legion has the right to send troops independently, and the land obtained does not need to be handed over to Oda Nobunaga jurisdiction, so that his advantage is nothing, and after the elimination of Takeda, he will have to face Hojo, it is absolutely impossible to quickly obtain the territory, and Kinoshita Tengjiro can take advantage of this short time to catch up with himself, this is not that the clan overestimated the other party, and now Kinoshita Tengjiro not only has Kuroda Kanbei to help, And the adopted sons that Ning Ning adopted back then have all grown up, and with Kinoshita Koichiro, Asano Nagamasa and others, it can be said that both quantity and quality are not much worse than the Takayama family, there used to be restrictions on Oda Nobunaga, but once this restriction is lifted, then it will definitely soar to the sky.

However, after thinking about it, the clan was not too worried, although Oda Nobunaga wanted to establish a legion system that was the same as history, but it was also different from history, not only Sakuma Nobumori was not exiled, but he was also appointed as the commander of the legion, plus he and Shibata Katsuya were also the commanders of the legion, and together they obtained more land than Kinoshita Tengjiro, which not only did not have disadvantages for themselves, but was extremely beneficial to themselves. Thinking of this, the clan was also relieved.

The Oda family's assessment meeting was held two days later, and after two days, not only the Oda family's retainers had already arrived.

Azuchi Castle is worthy of taking three years to build the castle, in addition to luxury, the area inside the castle has reached a terrifying level, now the samurai of the Oda family have nearly a thousand people, if it is placed in Gifu Castle or Kiyosu Castle, then at least eighty percent of the retainers have to go outside the door, but this assessment room can not only allow all the retainers of the Oda family to sit, but also does not seem very crowded, in the current era no castle can do, Not even Odawara Castle.

Those low-level retainers, whether they have been loyal to the Oda family for many years, or they have just come out, are all excited at this moment, after all, they were not qualified to sit in the assessment room before, but now that they are sitting in, maybe they can move forward in the future.

As for the important ministers in the family, this city is also shocked, I am afraid that only such a giant city can be worthy of the current power of the lord.

This time, the retainers did not wait too long, and I saw Oda Nobunaga walking out quickly with the newly recruited close attendant Mori Ranmaru.

"Subordinates, etc., see the lord (lord)." As soon as Nobunaga sat down, he heard the retainers immediately salute and say, and the feeling of nearly a thousand people speaking in unison was indeed shocking.

Seeing such a scene, Nobunaga's vanity was fully satisfied.

To everyone's surprise this time, Nobunaga did not let people read the file as before, but said himself: "In the past three years, my family has been reorganizing its armaments, and now this family is really strong, and now it is time to calm the world." Speaking of this, I heard Nobunaga suddenly change his words and said, "However, I think that although my family has a large number of soldiers, it is inconvenient to deploy, so I decided to set the original system of this family as a corps system." The clan leader will have the right to send troops independently, and the land obtained will no longer be handed over to his own family, and can be managed by himself. ”

"Where is my son's faith!"

Hearing his name called, Oda Nobutada hurriedly stood up and took a step forward, saluted and said, "The child is here, please ask my father to command." ”

Oda Nobunaga is still very satisfied with this son who will inherit the family business in the future, Nobutada is not only very similar to himself in appearance, and don't look at the young, but the ability is not bad, now the only thing he lacks is prestige, and the reason why Nobunaga named him first is to show his retainers.

"Now that my son has grown up and can take on important responsibilities, in this case, I will give you Mino and Owari as a wise act, and I hope you will not disappoint your father."

"Thank you father, the child will live up to his father's expectations. But there are no retainers around the child at present, and in such a land of millions of stones, I am afraid that it is a little difficult to govern. ”

"Haha, that's easy." Saying this, I saw Oda Nobunaga's gaze quickly sweeping towards the samurai at the bottom of the stairs. After basically sweeping around, he only listened to Nobunaga and said: "Mori Kesei, Ikeda Tsuneko, Takenaka Hanbei, Kawajiri Hidetaka, Mori Nagako, Ryota Masatsuna, Maeno Nagayasu, Beeya Yoritaka... Nobunaga called the names of more than 30 people in a row, and none of these 30 people, from ashigami to the old samurai, were left behind, and this time Nobunaga made a bloody effort to support Nobunada.

And most of these people are very happy, after all, although it is good to follow the lord, but there is no future with the young master, what is the young master, that is the future lord who has been designated as the heir, there was no chance to get close to it before, but I didn't expect the lord to give himself such an opportunity, especially those lower-level samurai who were named by name, they couldn't make a name for themselves around the lord, but now there is no one available around the young lord, as long as he can satisfy the young lord, then it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to cost the important ministers of the family in the future.

However, there is one of these people who can't be happy, and this person is Sen Kecheng, because history has been completely changed, so Sen Kecheng, who should have died in the battle with Asai Asakura, is alive and well at the moment.

But at the moment his mood is really not very good, just now when the lord said that he wanted to form a legion, he thought that there should be a position among the commanders of these legions, after all, in terms of identity, he is the elder of the family, on merit, although he is a little worse than Shibata and Takayama, but he is on par with Sakuma Nobumori, and he is also a well-known number one person in the family, but who would have thought that the lord not only did not appoint himself as the commander of the legion, but also sent himself to the young master's side, if so, how can he make great achievements, I'm afraid that in a few years, my own power will be left far away by others, and at that time, I will be slowly forgotten like Lin Tongsheng, maybe it is not as good as Lin Tongsheng, after all, there is the support of the Takayama clan, and the Lin family can't fall, but once I lose power, who will support the Takigawa family, Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro? Sen Kecheng couldn't help but shake his head. But let him refuse at this moment, he would never dare, so he had to salute Xinzhong with the retainers who were ordered, and wait for a way later.

To put it mildly, it's not that Nobunaga is ready to start alienating him, and on the contrary, Nobunaga thinks that Mori Kecheng is old and serious, so he will be sent to Nobutada's side, otherwise the position of the commander of a legion is indeed indispensable to him.

This is only because Nobunaga has the same idea as those low-level samurai, after all, sooner or later he will give up the position of the governor of the family and let him follow the young master, which is enough to show that he wants to give his Mori family a brighter future.
