July, Gifu Castle.

"My lord, a few days ago, the three of Miyoshi gathered their troops again to try to attack Kyoto, and now they have been repulsed." Wise Mitsuhide said respectfully.

"Well, I've heard about it. Mitsu Show! Well done! Oda Nobunaga nodded and said, "Remember this time, and wait for a while to seal the reward together." ”

"Thank you, lord!"

After Akechi Mitsuhide stepped back, Niwa Nagahide spoke, "My lord, Nijo Castle has been built. ”

"Really?! It's just great! Oda Nobunaga said excitedly, and then looked at Niwa Nagahide and quipped, "Nagahide! You kid is getting more and more powerful, you can complete a project as big as Nijo Castle in two months, but don't be a tofu scum project like Yoshinobu said. ”

"The lord laughed, how can his subordinates be like Lord Yoshinobu?" When Niwa Nagahide heard this, he looked at Oda Yoshinobu and smiled.

"Hey, Changxiu, you're not kind, who's here?" Oda Yoshinobu suddenly shouted when he heard this.

"Hehe, I don't know who it is, taking Iga Province in a duel~" Maeda Toshiya quipped next to him.

's words immediately attracted everyone's echo. However, it is clearly a loss to Oda Yoshinobu, but in fact, it is also another kind of touting. After all, this kind of thing is really something that has not been seen before and has never been seen before.

In other words, when they heard that Oda Yoshinobu actually took Iga Country by gambling against each other, everyone was immediately stupefied. After hearing the detailed information, they had to praise Oda Yoshinobu for his confidence and martial bravery. Anyway, if any of them were replaced, they would definitely not dare to play like this.

But then again, under normal circumstances, the evaluation of the Oda family would not be so casual, after all, with the improvement of age and status, the prestige of Oda Nobunaga became stronger and stronger. And although Oda Yoshinobu still looks so jumpy, but all the people who hear about his achievements, who dares to be casual with him?

However, perhaps it is because the situation of the Oda family is very good now, so that the good old man Niwa Nagahide can't help but make jokes. Hawkers, in these families, it seems that only Niwa Nagahide is qualified enough to make a joke about Oda Yoshinobu. After all, he is not only Oda Yoshinobu and Oda Nobunaga's playmate since childhood, but also one of the absolute ministers of the Oda family.

Of course, Oda Yoshinobu's unscrupulous appearance is also one of the reasons why the atmosphere is so good. If it weren't for Oda Yoshinobu to answer, others wouldn't dare to pick up the stubble at will.

Everyone frolicked for a while, and then Oda Nobunaga clapped his hands, "Okay, now let's get down to business!" With that, silence returned to the assessment room.

"Now that Nijo Castle has been built, it is not suitable for Ashikaga Shogun to stay in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, after all, it is not very safe there." Saying that, Oda Nobunaga looked at Kinoshita Hideyoshi and said, "Monkey, this matter will be left to you!" Move the shogun to Nijo Castle as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi said loudly when he heard this.

"In addition, Guangxiu, Hengxing, Lijia, and Chengzheng, you will lead your troops to continue to sweep! We must completely drive the remnants of the Miyoshi family back to Shikoku! Oda Nobunaga said loudly.

"Yes!" The four of them said excitedly when they heard this. Speaking of which, in the matter of sweeping, except for Akechi Mitsuhide, it would be more appropriate for others to be replaced by Matsunaga Shu and others, after all, their territory is in. However, obviously, everyone understood that Oda Nobunaga's move was to give the four of them meritorious service, so they didn't say much.

Akechi Mitsuhide has been the elder of the family since he joined the Oda family, and although he is humble and both civil and military, he has not made much credit after all. After the rise of Oda Yoshinobu, there was a trend of the retainers of the Oda family who only looked at merit to judge success or failure, although this was a suspicion of patting Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu's horses, but this trend undoubtedly aroused the motivation of many retainers, so Oda Nobunaga did not object.

Nowadays, there are quite a few people staring at Akechi Mitsuhide, and Achichi Mitsuhide himself knows this very well, and has been working hard to make meritorious achievements. And the three members of the Maeda Toshiya family are not to mention, because of Oda Yoshinobu's various reasons for grabbing credit, these three retainers who are also Oda Nobunaga's small hair are now about to leave the circle of power.

As for Matsunaga Hide, although he also wants to make some meritorious deeds, but now Yamato domestic Tsutsui Shunkei has been gathering troops. So for him, getting Tsutsui Shunkei done as soon as possible is the most important thing at the moment. Otherwise, God knows if Oda Nobunaga would think that he was not suitable to be the master of Yamato and directly replace himself.

"By the way, Sadakatsu, you send someone to inform all the temples and shrines in Kinai and ask them to make donations. Well...... Let's use the military expenditure to be too large to maintain peace and stability in the country, and at the same time tell them about the laws of their own territory! Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, there was silence in the assessment room, after all, this matter is not as good as the original in Owari, the temples and shrines in Kinai are not only numerous, but also one is more influential than the other, and each is more influential than the other. If one is not done well, it is easy for the Buddhists to attack it.

"My lord, other temples and shrines are easy to say, but Ishiyama Honganji Temple, as well as temples near Kyoto......" Murai Sadakatsu also hesitated.

"Take it! Instead of giving those monks a drink and playing with women, it is better to buy a few more iron cannons! Oda Nobunaga said resolutely, but after thinking about it, he said again, "Mitsuhide, you go to the imperial court to ask for an edict, monkey, you go to the general's side and get that one." The reason is also changed, and it is said that the imperial court and the shogunate need their donations! ”

"Yes!" The three of Murai Sadakatsu replied helplessly.

Subsequently, Oda Nobunaga held a grand banquet to celebrate the success of the Oda family in establishing themselves in. However, obviously, because Oda Nobunaga was going to open a large number of temples at the end, the interest of many retainers was not too high.

After the meeting ended, Oda Nobunaga grabbed Oda Yoshinobu.

"Yoshinobu, how is your naval training?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu and asked in a low voice.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu paused for a moment, and then immediately replied, "It's okay, there are currently 8 Europa ships, and the number of navies is about 2,000 people. ”

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Oda Nobunaga also froze for a moment, and then asked with some excitement, "Then let you go to attack Shikoku, are you sure?" ”

"Huh?" Oda Yoshinobu froze again when he heard this, okay, are these two people playing some game?

After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice, "If you can wait a few more years, you will be ten percent sure." Although there were 8 ships, they were all commercial ships, and they were able to defeat the Nine Ghost Naval Army before, mainly because of the command of the crane and the power of the artillery. ”

After speaking, Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga angrily and complained, "Of course, if you can give me a dozen cannons, it will be absolutely fine." ”

Well, Oda Yoshinobu's words almost made Oda Nobunaga spurt out a mouthful of old blood, "A dozen cannons? You conjure it up for me?! ”

"Isn't that enough~" Oda Yoshinobu spread his hands, "At present, the main thing is to train the navy, although ships and iron cannons are constantly being produced and purchased, but if you want to attack Shikoku, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Oda Yoshinobu is not nonsense, the Miyoshi family has been operating in Shikoku for many years, especially the Awa Water Army, which is famous all over the world.

"Cut, that's it......" Oda Nobunaga muttered in disappointment when he heard this.

"Yes~" Oda Yoshinobu pouted and said, then suddenly became curious, "Brother, how is the research of artillery?" It's been so long. ”

"I just have a clue, but if I want to actually make it, I'm afraid it will take 1 or 2 years." When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he immediately said excitedly. After seeing the power of artillery, he was convinced that this weapon would become the core of future warfare. So although it was expensive to study artillery, Oda Nobunaga never frowned a bit.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu nodded, "That's not much better." Then he remembered something and asked, "By the way, can the iron cannon be produced by the family now?" ”

"Not yet." Oda Nobunaga frowned and said, "The production of the barrel seems to be very troublesome, although the finished product can be used now, but the explosion rate is too high, and it is impossible to take it to the battlefield." ”

"I've heard that Omi has a koku-friendly guard who knows how to make iron cannons." Yoshinobu Oda reminded. However, he only knew that Kuniyubei was in Omi, but he didn't know where it was.

It's just that I didn't expect to hear Oda Yoshinobu's words, Oda Nobunaga suddenly smiled proudly, "You said that person is really good at making iron cannons, and the Kuniyu Village where he is located are all people who make iron cannons." After I heard Changzheng's sister-in-law mention it, I immediately placed a huge order for them, otherwise where do you think so many iron cannons came from in this family? ”

"Cut, what's the smugness? It's not like listening to others. Yoshinobu Oda muttered.

Soon, Ashikaga Yoshiaki moved into the new Nijo Castle with his retainers. Although it was a little unpleasant before, Ashikaga Yoshiaki still accepted it very happily for his new home city, and even accepted Murai Sadakatsu's request for the shogunate's edict very happily.

Subsequently, Akechi Mitsuhide continued to serve as the guardian of Kyoto, and began to sweep away the remnants of Miyoshi in with Maeda Toshiie and others.

And after Akechi Mitsuhide and Kinoshita Hideyoshi received edicts from the imperial court and shogunate, Murai Sadakatsu also began to ask for money from temples and shrines in various parts of Kinai. (To be continued.) )
