In the past year, the Matsudaira family not only got the understanding of the Imagawa family and brought the hostages back to Okazaki Castle safely, but also formally reached an alliance with the Oda family.

However, Matsudaira Motoyasu was not satisfied with the status quo, and began to focus on Okazaki Castle, and continued to expand to the entire territory of Mikawa Province.

After more than half a year of campaigning, the Matsudaira family's 2000 ashigaru clan is now independent, and all other large and small forces of Mikawa have expressed their allegiance. But Matsudaira Motoyasu was not satisfied with the status quo. He has lived a life of exile since he was a child, which not only taught him to forbear, but also made him yearn for power more than anyone else.

In the assessment room of Okazaki Castle, Matsudaira Motoyasu sat on the main seat and said: "Now that the family has formed an alliance with the Oda family, the west side is worry-free, and the Imagawa clan in the east is really weak and incompetent, and there is no need to be afraid, but now Mikawa is sandwiched in the middle and cannot develop, so I plan to eradicate Mikawa's previous sect power to expand my strength." I don't know if you have any suggestions? ”

When the retainers heard that the lord was going to eradicate the domestic Ichizong and take back all the temple land in Mikawachi, most of the retainers couldn't help but be surprised, the poor land of Mikawa country, the more such places there were, the more people believed in Buddhism, and even Matsudaira had many retainers who were devout believers, and this order from the lord made it difficult for them to accept, on the one hand, faith, on the other hand, loyalty, they began to hesitate.

Watanabe Moritsuna said anxiously: "My lord, the Ichijo sect has been in the Mikawa temple for hundreds of years, and has rarely clashed with the Matsudaira family, according to the opinion of my subordinates, not only should we not start a war with it, but we should make friends with the Ichijo sect, please think twice." ”

Sakai Tadashi also hurriedly spoke: "What Watanabe-sama said is reasonable, if he is an enemy of the Sect, his subordinates are afraid that Mikawa will be unstable, please think twice." ”

"My lord, my subordinates don't think so, they have always been demagoguery, and they have always been outbursting. It is the initiator, if it is not eradicated, it will give birth to future troubles. ”

When Watanabe Moritsuna heard this, he immediately couldn't bear it, and he said to Okubo Tadashi unrelentingly: "Extreme! How can persuading people to do good be said to be demagoguery? It has always been an outbreak, and it has always been that the monks of the sect will guide them when they see the difficult life of the peasants, how can it be called incitement? As long as the lord can spread the word for benevolence, how can anyone rebel? ”

"That's it! I've made up your mind, so all of you stand down and get ready! Matsudaira Motoyasu made the last decision.

The final evaluation meeting broke up unhappily, and some of the retainers actively mobilized Ashigaru to start preparing for the war after the evaluation meeting, while the other part of the retainers were also mobilizing, but they did have their own thoughts.

As soon as the assessment meeting ended, the Samurai of Mikawa, who believed in Buddhism, brought the news to the Ichissho Sect, and from the next day, monks could be seen in large and small villages. The situation in Mikawa also became tense.

Leaving aside the Matsudaira family, after years of brainwashing and rigorous training, the 100 ashigaru under the command of the clan have formed a powerful combat power, and the most important thing is that the Eight Slash Method has left a deep imprint in their hearts.

In Oda's family, the retainers saw that the clan sect had been quite effective in training the army, and the elite under his command were more than a few chips stronger than their subordinates, so they came to ask for advice, and the clan sect did not reserve about this, and taught everyone the eight slashing methods. But there is no one like the clan who is willing to spend a lot of money to arm them, not because they don't want to, but because they have more than enough energy and not enough strength. However, even so, the overall combat power of Owari has also been greatly improved.

And as more and more samurai trained in this method, the Hachisha method also spread around Owari.

On this day, the clan was teasing his eldest son Matsurumaru in the samurai mansion, and when he was having fun and having fun with the family, a young man dressed in white drooping walked in from outside the door, and the clan looked up and saw that this person was Nobunaga's close attendant Hori Hidemasa, and when he saw him here, he didn't need to ask and knew that he must have been summoned by Nobunaga. The clan is a little unhappy in his heart, and it's only been a few days of solid life, and Nobunaga really can't bear the loneliness.

Sure enough, I heard Hori Hidemasa come to the hall and say, "Lord Takayama, the lord has something to summon your lord, please go immediately." ”,

After handing over the Matsuzuru Pill in his arms to Sakura, the clan asked with a smile, "Hori-sama, shouldn't it be the lord who is angry again this time like last time?" ”

Of course, Hori Hidemasa knew what the Dao clan was referring to, and Ha Lu Ha smiled and said: "Lord Takayama said that he laughed, although I don't know why the lord summoned the lord this time, but I don't seem to be angry when I look at the lord's appearance, so I think it should be a good thing." ”

Since the last time the clan angered Nobunaga, both of them were unlucky, so after that incident, the clan had a big blood and asked the two boys to live happily in the sparrow house for a week, and then gave each of them a bronze card to the sparrow house to finish the job.

But the money was not spent in vain, Hori Hidemasa and Hasegawa Shuichi both promised that as long as Oda Nobunaga had something to do, they would come and report it as soon as possible. The clan knew that they would have to stay by Oda Nobunaga's side for a long time, and with these two insiders, they would be able to find out Nobunaga's mind more accurately in the future.

Seeing that it was not a bad thing for Nobunaga to find him, he did not hesitate anymore, and followed Hori Hidemasa out of the gate of the samurai mansion.

When he came to the living room of the castle tower, Nobunaga was looking out the window in the direction of the training center, and the clan clan hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "The subordinate Takayama clan sect is the lord. ”

I saw Nobunaga slowly turn around, sit on the mat, and said calmly: "Your eight slashing method, I have seen it, it is very good, I intend to let all the flags in my family learn this method, I don't know how much combat power can be improved?" How long will it take? ”

Clan Zong thought to himself, Nobunaga shouldn't want to let him be in charge of training Ashigaru, this is definitely a boring job, it's best not to take it, and let him come up with ideas, the 100 Ashigaru under his command, he has to let Maeda Toshiya do it for him, not to mention Nobunaga's 3000 flag books, if he really hands it over to his own training, he will have to mess up the team in less than half a month.

Thinking of this, the clan had no choice but to reduce the effectiveness of the Eight Slashing Method, and it would be good if it was so low that Nobunaga couldn't see it. I only heard the clan sect speak: "Back to the lord, the eight slashing method is just the law of governing the army, as long as you let the ashigaru remember, as for the combat power, from the perspective of subordinates, it should be increased by about two percent." ”

After hearing this, Nobunaga really showed a look of disappointment, although it was a lot of improvement, but it was far from what Nobunaga expected in his heart. However, Nobunaga thought that since the retainers had asked him for advice, it meant that he must have a unique opinion on training ashigaru, otherwise the retainers would never have done so.

Nobunaga Masasei said, "Senbei! I'll give you half a year to increase the combat power of the flag at home by more than fifty percent, otherwise it will not be spared! ”

The clan's heart tightened, I rely on, isn't it difficult for a strong man, you can't be an immortal when you are Lao Tzu? Relying on that military law alone, I want Lao Tzu to train those garbage under your command to be superhuman, even if you want Lao Tzu's life, you can't complete it.
