Oda Nobutada understood, and at this moment, he finally understood why Oda Nobunaga had never appointed himself as the young master, even if he was the eldest son. It was not that Oda Nobunaga wanted to find a stronger governor between him and Oda Nobuna, as Oda Nobuta had previously suspected, but because, from the beginning, or after Oda Shinna officially married Oda Yoshinobu, there was only one choice for the heir to the Oda family.

It's not Oda Nobutada, and it's not Oda Nobuta as Oda Nobutada has always thought, but ...... Twenty-five Lang, the son of Yoshinobu Oda and Shinna Oda!

Yes, it's the little ghost who just turned 3 years old this year, but he has been secretly identified by Oda Nobunaga as the young master of the Oda family, and the future governor of the family. And the reason why it hasn't been said explicitly, I'm afraid it's just to wait for it to grow up and see the specific talent, right?

The reason why I skipped his two best children, Oda Nobutada and Oda Shinna, and chose a child who is only 3 years old, is also very simple, Oda Yoshinobu!!

Anyone can see that there are two people who have played a crucial role in the rise of the Oda family, one is Oda Nobunaga, who is the family governor, and the other is the current deputy family governor Oda Yoshinobu. Even among the many people in the world who can only see the surface, Oda Yoshinobu's credit and role are even greater than Oda Nobunaga's.

Because in one major war after another, it was Oda Yoshinobu who led the army of tigers and wolves under his command and defeated one strong enemy after another.

Meritorious master? If Oda Yoshinobu's lord had been someone else, I don't know how many times he had been executed, or he would have rebelled a long time ago.

And now, Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu still cooperate very tacitly, and even have a better relationship than brothers. This is inconceivable in history, but Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu did it.

But! Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu were able to maintain this relationship, but what about the next generation? Oda Yoshinobu's power is great, very big! It can be said without hesitation that by now, the most powerful retainer under the command of the Oda family is Oda Yoshinobu. Even if Oda Yoshinobu returned Shikoku, Kii, Minamide Yu and other countries to Oda Nobunaga, he was still the strongest.

Korea is nearly two-thirds of Japan's territory, plus Ise, Ezo, Sado, Ryukyu, Takayama and so on, and in terms of territory alone, Oda Yoshinobu's territory is no smaller than the entire country of Japan.

In other aspects, with a number of gold and silver mountains and various natural resources in the territory, plus the huge Argotic Chamber of Commerce. In terms of economy, Oda Yoshinobu is not much inferior to Oda Nobunaga.

As for the combat effectiveness of the troops, although in terms of the army, most of the troops of the Korean State are new troops, and there are not many garrisons in other places, but the navy, which has been developed for many years, cannot be compared with the entire Oda family combined. And Japan is an island country!

But these are just the strength that Oda Yoshinobu himself has!

Matsudaira Ieyasu was his righteous son, and he was in awe of him for many years, and more importantly, most of the important ministers of the Matsudaira family were very respectful to Oda Yoshinobu. It can be said that with only one word from him, the Matsudaira family may not dare to betray the Oda family, but it seems that it is not impossible to sit idly by.

At the same time, Maori, Takeda, and Oda Yoshinobu were all related by marriage, and Uesugi Kenshin, the former governor of the Uesugi family, was directly married to Oda Yoshinobu. Niwa Nagahide and others are brothers with Oda Yoshinobu, Shibata Katsuya is submissive to him, and the Shimazu family seems to have some connection with him.

With so much involvement, once Oda Yoshinobu rebels, will the Oda family be able to resist it? Moreover, the relationship between Oda Yoshinobu and Ming Guo must also be taken into account, after all, it has always been Oda Yoshinobu who is responsible for dealing with Ming State. It can even be said that the Ming court recognized Oda Yoshinobu, but it may not recognize the Oda family!

After all, a partner who has worked happily together for many years, and a force that has only heard of but has no understanding of it, no matter how you look at it, the former is more reliable, especially when the former also has strong strength.

But...... Although Oda Yoshinobu was so powerful, Oda Nobunaga never doubted him, and even Oda Nobunaga himself personally sent Oda Nobunaga to this position. He believed in Oda Yoshinobu as Oda Yoshinobu believed in him. Nohime joked before that she was jealous of the relationship between Oda Yoshinobu and Oda Nobunaga, but in fact, this kind of affection beyond friendship and family affection really made Nohime very jealous.

Well? Love? Flying Edgeworth!! Long Xiang Shan!!

However, Oda Nobunaga is a human being, and Oda Yoshinobu is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he will grow old and die! Oda Nobunaga is 5 years older than Oda Yoshinobu, and unlike Oda Yoshinobu, who spends most of his time enjoying himself, Oda Nobunaga is busy with various affairs almost every day.

If nothing happens, there is no doubt that Oda Nobunaga will die in front of Oda Yoshinobu. So, the question is, will the next Oda family governor, like Oda Nobunaga, turn a blind eye to such a powerful retainer as Oda Yoshinobu? And will Oda Yoshinobu treat the new governor the same way he did Oda Nobunaga?

It's possible, but Oda Nobunaga can't take this risk! Because he knows that even if this possibility reaches ninety percent, there is still one percent impossibility! And once this impossibility appears, then the entire Oda family will collapse in an instant.

Speaking of which, when Oda Nobutada was born, Oda Nobunaga had such an idea, but at that time, he didn't know how to solve it. But when Oda Shinna became more and more clinging to Oda Yoshinobu until he clamored to marry Oda Yoshinobu, although his heart was full of unhappiness, he also thought of a perfect solution.

Yes, in addition to Oda Nobuna's insistence, the reason why Oda Nobunaga made up his mind to marry Oda Shinna to Oda Yoshinobu also has such a consideration. Although it is a little difficult to accept, this is the performance that a family governor should have, with emotion, but he can't govern such a huge force!

Does Yoshinobu Oda know? He naturally knew that in fact, Li Huamei had vaguely reminded him, but he finally agreed. Except for Oda Shinna's insistence that he couldn't bear to refuse, how could he not have bothered about this matter?

Twenty Goro is the grandson of Oda Nobunaga and the son of Oda Yoshinobu, both of whom are direct bloodlines of both parties. For him to become the governor of the Oda family, no one in Oda Nobunaga's retainers will object, and Oda Yoshinobu's retainers will naturally agree.

In fact, people such as Mori Terumoto, Hashiba Hideyoshi and others had already guessed Oda Nobunaga's plans, and only Oda Nobutada, because of the authorities' confusion and the tacit understanding of everyone, had no idea about it...... I still have the dream of inheriting the Oda family and ruling the world one day.
