Chapter 159: The Dust Settles
In someone else's territory, with only three people, facing dozens of others, and there are hundreds of troops outside, he threatens to destroy others. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Well, Matsudaira Motoyasu has really never seen such an arrogant person in his life.
So, he laughed, and was discouraged, and he stood up, glanced at the people around him, and found that they were also looking at Oda Yoshinobu with indignation. Seeing this, Matsudaira Motoyasu's last bit of worry disappeared. He looked at Oda Yoshinobu and sneered, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Yoshinobu-sama, what do you say...... But it's not funny at all. Or do you think you can kill us all? ”
Matsudaira Motoyasu said this with quite confidence, because no matter what period it was, no daimyo would do anything to kill all the retainers of a powerful daimyo family. Because then the whole family of the kingdom will be against them. And if you kill them all, it's even worse, and you'll find that all your territories are in chaos.
You must know that in this era, each family is actually the owner of that territory for generations, and the commoners have long been accustomed to and supported the rule of these families. If you change a person, you can't convince the residents of the territory in a short period of time, let alone the territory of a country.
Of course, Oda Yoshinobu couldn't really be so stupid. He smiled disapprenousively, "Who said you were going to kill everyone?" As long as I kill you and Takechiyo~" Saying that, Oda Yoshinobu turned to look at Sena and smiled, "Of course, Takechiyo is so young, if he is allowed to be the governor, I believe he will be very obedient, right?" ”
"Bastard! I can't take it anymore! Kill this group of ...... who insulted his family," a young samurai stood up and shouted, but before he could finish speaking, a spear was sent directly into his chest.
Killing this young samurai who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Keiji Maeda looked at everyone with a sneer, "Who else wants to resist?" ”
However, Keiji Maeda's deterrence this time did not have the expected result, the young samurai was killed, but several samurai stood up. The people of Mirikawa are not afraid of death, once they become enemies. Then it will be the most terrifying enemy. This is the spirit of the Samurai of Mikawa.
Therefore, driven by these samurai, a group of people stood up.
"Humph! Do so many people want to die? Keiji Maeda sneered disdainfully. With a swing of the spear in his hand, he looked like you had come here to try it. And Shiraki Yukihisa and Honda Tadakatsu looked at everyone coldly, holding the weapons in their hands flat, and when someone stepped forward, they launched a thunderous blow.
For Tadashi Honda. Although they are considered fellow villagers, they are their own masters at this time, and they have no intention of releasing water. This is the pride of Tadashi Honda as a samurai, and at the same time his respect for the samurai of Mikawa.
As for Oda Yoshinobu, holding Yagi in his hand, he stood by the side of Sena's mother and son very casually, looking at Oda Yoshinobu with a faint look in his eyes, as if he didn't pay attention to the tense situation in front of him at all.
Well, he really didn't have anything to care about, after all, there were many retainers of the Matsudaira family here. But they were all unarmed. Only those flags and surnames in the back have weapons. And even if each of them were armed, would Oda Yoshinobu be afraid of them? You must know that this kid was ready to kill the moment he entered Okazaki City.
Matsudaira Motoyasu's hand was slowly raised, and if you looked closely, it seemed to tremble a little. Hawkers, it's no wonder, after all, if he gives this order, whether he kills Oda Yoshinobu or not, the Matsudaira family is finished. Because the Oda family will not let him go, and the Imagawa family. Obviously, this kind of family that always wants to rebel and become independent will not have any good feelings.
He didn't want this to happen, because his previous threat was to get Oda Yoshinobu to agree to his proposal, that is, to ally with the Oda family on an equal footing. Unfortunately, Oda's attitude forced him to make this choice. Because if he retreats. Then the Matsudaira family is completely finished. No retainer will follow the lord who is insulted at will and can still swallow his breath.
Matsudaira Motoyasu's hand was raised very slowly, and it was a matter of a second, but it made people feel as if a day had passed. At this moment, suddenly a figure slowly stood up and walked towards Matsudaira Motoyasu in full view of everyone.
"Lord...... Surrender...... At least there's hope, isn't it? Tadashi Torii took Matsudaira Motoyasu's hand and slowly put it down, and said lightly. Without the slightest emotion.
"Tadayoshi ......" Matsudaira Motoyasu looked at Tadashi Torii, and his heart was mixed for a while. He understood that Tadashi Torii saw his situation, so he decided to come forward and take the blame.
As the governor of the family, Matsudaira Motoyasu can't show anything that would damage the family's honor, especially for the Matsudaira family, who has now lost almost all of their honor. Only if the retainers come forward, and they must be important ministers, can he step down. And this candidate, Tadaji Sakai cannot be held. Because everyone knows that he is a descendant of Matsudaira Motoyasu, doesn't he mean Matsudaira Motoyasu?
But Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't put his mind on Tadashi Torii and the others, because he knew very well that these old guys were not something he could command and would not obey his orders. And once you take this pot on your back, you will definitely have to be severely punished after the matter is over to make everyone obey. In this way, how could they possibly help Matsudaira Motoyasu?
So when Tadashi Torii came forward, it was absolutely fake that Matsudaira Motoyasu was not moved, but he couldn't say anything, because he still had to play the image of the family governor who swore to defend the honor of the Matsudaira family to the end.
"Chungji! Oda Yoshinobu has already humiliated his family so much, do we still have to endure it?! Matsudaira retorted loudly, but the hand he put down did not lift it again.
"Lord, there is a saying in the Ming Kingdom, which is called to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. As long as the family can be saved, sooner or later we can regain the lost honor......" Tadashi Torii said, and suddenly knelt in front of Matsudaira Motoyasu, "My lord! Don't let the Matsudaira family completely perish for the sake of momentary anger! ”
And with his words, another voice sounded, "Lord! Think again! Everyone looked at it, but it was Okubo loyalist.
"My lord, please think twice!" One by one, the retainers prostrated themselves on the ground and pleaded loudly. This scene instantly quieted the young warriors who were still preparing to fight hard. Because these retainers who speak are all three generations of old ministers who have served Qingkang and Guangzhong until now.
"You ......" Matsudaira Motoyasu looked at everyone tremblingly, his expression became extremely struggling, and his body continued to tremble, as if he was going through some painful struggle.
"My lord! Think again! "Another person stepped forward, it was Sakai Tadaji. And with his appearance, those descendants of Matsudaira Motoyasu also followed.
"Nima. What's going on? Can it be reversed in this case? Oda Yoshinobu thought in shock as he looked at the scene in front of him.
Oda Yoshinobu didn't expect this kind of situation either, but when he saw Matsudaira Motoyasu's entangled face and had to prepare to fight with himself, he understood that this was a good opportunity to destroy the Matsudaira family. As long as the Matsudaira family is gone, Mikawa will naturally be in chaos. At that time, the Oda family will not have to worry about Mikawa's side.
It's just that he never imagined that in this form, Matsudaira Motoyasu would not only be able to step down, but also bring the hearts of his retainers together. Oda Yoshinobu easily guessed that after subduing the Oda family. Matsudaira Motoyasu will definitely use this opportunity to completely integrate the family.
In the end, even though the Matsudaira clan was nominally a retainer of the Oda family, they could still dominate Mikawa and attack Enoe. This is obviously what Oda Yoshinobu doesn't want to see, but at this time, he has no choice but to hope that Matsudaira Motoyasu is really ready to fight him. There is no way, if he still insists on killing Matsudaira Motoyasu at this time, then although Mikawa will lose a co-master, it is very likely to attract a crazy attack from many Mikawa wealthy clans.
But will Matsudaira Motoyasu not agree? Apparently impossible. When the young samurai also bowed down and persuaded Matsudaira Motoyasu to surrender to the Oda family, Oda Yoshinobu understood. The tide is over. Sure enough, Matsudaira Motoyasu sat down in his position with a blank face, and said with difficulty, "I...... agreed......" After speaking, he fainted directly.
"! This Nima is too pompous, right? "No matter how much Oda Yoshinobu looks down on Matsudaira Motoyasu, he won't be stupid enough to think that this kid has really fainted. But no matter how unhappy it is, the goal has been achieved, and Oda Yoshinobu naturally has no need to say anything more.
"In that case, please prepare. When Matsudaira-sama recovers, come with me to Owari to meet the lord. Oda Yoshinobu left such a word, and left directly with Sena, Maeda Keiji and others.
Although he did not take the opportunity to kill Matsudaira Motoyasu, the original purpose had been achieved. So Oda Yoshinobu doesn't plan to say more and do more. After all, things must be reversed, and it is the Oda family who will suffer when the time comes. As for letting Matsudaira Motoyasu go to Owari, he didn't mean to humiliate the Matsudaira family or anything, but just went through the process. After all, it's a submission, even if it's just on the surface, it's time to come or to come.
on this. Many of the retainers of the Matsudaira family did not say much, and Sakai Tadaji personally led Oda Yoshinobu to the resting room. It's not that he has any ideas, it's just that he's worried that if someone else takes it, if something happens, it will be troublesome.
Oda Yoshinobu did not let Sena's mother and son leave, but took them directly into his room, to which Sakai Tadaji wanted to say something, but in the end he held back. In his opinion, it was nothing more than Oda Yoshinobu worrying about the Matsudaira family's temporary change.
The temporarily prepared room is naturally not much better, especially since the Matsudaira family is still poor to death.
"Okay, sit casually, I believe we can return to Owari in an hour or two." Oda Yoshinobu said casually. Pulling Sena and directly finding a place to sit down.
For Oda Yoshinobu's urine, Maeda Keiji and the three of them have long been used to it, so after hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, they randomly found a place to rest. Only Xiao Heita, who followed Oda Yoshinobu silently all the way, stood there stupidly and did not move.
Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu remembered that he had another future celebrity, and hurriedly beckoned to Koheita and smiled, "Koheita, come and sit here." ”
Slowly walked up to Oda Yoshinobu and sat down, still with the same paralyzed expression, obviously the young man had been heartbroken by Matsudaira Motoyasu.
Oda Yoshinobu didn't care about his attitude at all, he casually asked Xiaoping all kinds of questions, and Xiaoping didn't remain silent, but it was just plain and answered.
"It seems that it is certain that it is the future Sakakihara Yasumasa. Tsk, Honda Tadakatsu and Sakakihara Yasumasa are all in hand, and the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings are only Sakai Tadaji and Ii Naomasa. Well...... I'll have to find a chance to get Naotora Ii over, if she's a beauty......" Oda Yoshinobu thought triumphantly.
After a few more words, Oda Yoshinobu turned his head and said, "Tadakatsu, come here." ”
After Honda Tadakatsu came over, Oda Yoshinobu smiled at Koheita and said, "His name is Honda Tadakatsu, well, he seems to be the same age as you, and he is also from Mikawa." So from today onwards, you can follow him. After speaking, he looked at Maeda Keiji and smiled, "Keiji, it's no problem to accept another disciple, right?" ”
"Isn't it, my lord?! Let me teach! Look for a long time! Keiji Maeda complained loudly, obviously not wanting to do this kind of work anymore. You must know that just teaching Honda Tadakatsu, he wasted an unknown amount of time to go to Nakono Town to find Xiaohong.
"Don't say no!" Oda Yoshinobu didn't bother to pay attention to Maeda Keiji's complaints, among his retainers, this kid was the most idle, and he didn't like to be lazy the most if he didn't find something to do. Well, he himself doesn't count.
"Yes!" Keiji Maeda reluctantly walked up to Koheita and glared at him fiercely before he said unhappily, "Boy, don't blame me for not reminding you, my training is very strict, and you have to be determined to die." ”
"Yes!" Xiaoping said lightly, without fear at all. Seeing this, Keiji Maeda nodded with satisfaction.
"Cut, Keiji, you kid will be content, and send you two future famous generals of your family as disciples." Oda Yoshinobu looked at Keiji Maeda with disdain and said, and then didn't give him a chance to refute, and smiled directly at Koheita.
"Xiaopingtai, then from today on, you will be my retainer, although there is no way to hold a yuan dress ceremony for you, but I believe you won't mind, right?" Oda Yoshinobu said casually, "Well, I'll give you a name, your father's name is Sakakiwara Nagamasa, then you will be called Sakakiwara Yasumasa." How is it? Not bad, right? ”
Hearing this, Koheita's paralyzed face finally had a different expression, and he slowly bowed down in front of Oda Yoshinobu and said loudly, "Subordinate Sakakihara Yasumasa has seen the lord!" As long as the lord does not give up, his subordinates will definitely swear allegiance! ”
