Great name!

Chapter 44 Mu Xiu Yu Lin
Since the iron artillery team made great achievements last time, the elders and senior samurai in the family immediately realized the importance of the iron artillery team.

For example, Takigawa Kazumasu, a man who had just joined the Oda family and served as an official for less than a year, became an Ashigaru general.

Tsuda Nobutora was promoted directly to the rank of General in just over a year, completing the life path that others took for at least ten years, and even the result of others' lifelong struggle.

Because of this, elders such as Naito, Shimada, and Sakuma all hope that their nephews will join the iron artillery team.

But the iron artillery team is now under the control of Oda Nobunaga, and these elders are not allowed to interfere at all.

The elders had no choice but to make friends with Tsuda Nobutora.

Nobutora looked at the gifts sent by the family elders and felt very headache. If he didn't accept these things, he would offend the family elders, so he should accept them. He was also worried that Oda Nobunaga would blame him.

Besides, he is soft-spoken when eating people and soft-handed when taking advantage of others. If he accepts these gifts, he will be owed a favor. If others come to ask him to do things, it will be troublesome.

Seeing Xinhu's sad face, Axia reminded him, "Husband, why don't you go see the head of the family with the list of gifts?"

Nobuhu sighed and said, "If I go to see the head of the family with the list, it will be more offensive than rejecting these gifts."

Xinlong on the side asked doubtfully: "Why do you say that? Brother."

Nobuhu explained: "If I refuse directly, everyone will know that I am avoiding suspicion, which is excusable. But if I go to see the head of the family with the list, everyone will think that I am snitching and taking credit, and no one will talk to me in the future. Made friends."

"I see."

Xinlong suddenly realized.

This problem suddenly stumped Xinhu, Xinlong and Axia. Axiang was unable to help and was thinking hard on the sidelines.

At this time, Maori Shengqing climbed over the wall directly into the courtyard and shouted: "Nobuhu, I'm here, hahaha!"

Axia said coquettishly: "Brother, why do you always climb over the wall to come in? If it were night, I would treat you as a thief."

Maori Shengqing immediately changed the subject and said: "Why are there so many gifts? Hey, this is Bizen's famous sword. It's not cheap. Hey, it's silk from the Ming Dynasty, tsk tsk tsk."

These gifts are dazzling to see, and each one is worth a lot of money.

"Why do you have so many precious gifts?"

Nobutora sighed again and told Maori Shengqing the whole story.

It was also the first time for Maori Shengqing to see this kind of situation, and he said with a smile: "In the past, our family gave them gifts, but now it's the other way around, and I also get the benefit."

Everyone knew that Mouri Shengqing was Nobutora's uncle. Some people gave gifts to Mouri Shengqing for double insurance.

"These gifts are hot potatoes, how can you still laugh?"

Nobuhu was a little anxious. He was so anxious that he was going to get angry. His brother-in-law was not heartless.

Maoli Shengqing was not anxious at all. He smiled and said: "They gave me gifts, didn't they also ask me to come to you to say good things? In the end, it depends on your face.

Even if I don't succeed, they won't resent me. The blame will still be yours. I gave my sister to you. Is it reasonable for you to take the blame for me? "

"Brother!"

Axia immediately glared at Maori Shengqing, she was angry!
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, we are all family."

Nobuhu quickly grabbed Axia, and Maori Shengqing had already crawled to the door. When he saw his sister being held by Nobuhu, he sat back down in his seat.

Nobuhu said: "It's not my brother's fault for this. On the contrary, I implicated him. Now everyone wants to join the iron artillery team, so they came to me to look for opportunities.

However, the combat effectiveness of the iron artillery team is obvious to everyone in the family, and the head of the family will definitely not let this team belong to anyone else. "

Maori Shengqing smiled and said: "If you were not the commander of the iron artillery team, then they would not come to ask you." Nobuhu said doubtfully: "This is not necessary, I still have to rely on the iron artillery team to make meritorious service."

This is where Nobuhu struggled. He couldn't bear to part with the iron artillery team, a magical weapon that made great contributions.

"Look, you're not as good as me."

Maori Shengqing said excitedly: "You just return the daily management and training of the iron artillery team to the head of the family, but when it comes to combat, you can still lead the iron artillery team, so that the family elders will not come to ask you. "

Nobuhu slapped his thigh and said happily: "Yes, I am the general, and the iron artillery team is originally the family leader's personal army, I am just a temporary substitute for the family leader!"

I didn't expect that I was going too far.

He only needs to retain the power to command the battlefield to solve the current trouble.

He immediately said: "Axia, please keep the gift list. When the time comes, if each family has something to do, we will give you a return gift of similar price according to the gifts on the list."

A-Xia nodded and said, "I understand."

Nobutora relaxed after having solved his major problem, and then took Maori Shengqing to drink.

Early the next morning, Nobutora ran to Oda Nobunaga's yard and asked to resign from the task of training the iron artillery team.

Oda Nobunaga glanced at Nobutora and said, "Are you afraid now?"

Nobutora understood that Oda Nobunaga knew about it, but he didn't care.

However, he still said: "My lord, I think this can prevent the iron artillery team from becoming my private soldiers. Besides, they practice very well according to the training manual. With Lord Sasa and Lord Takikawa here, their training will not be has a problem."

Oda Nobunaga looked at Nobutora's reasons for this matter and smiled: "It's hard to find such a suitable reason for you, okay, then I will help you, and I will hand over the iron artillery team to you when we fight in the future. "

Nobutora was overjoyed and quickly thanked Oda Nobunaga.

However, Oda Nobunaga would not leave Nobutora idle. He knew that Tsuda Nobutora's arithmetic was taught by Nobutora. From this point of view, Nobutora would definitely be qualified for the work of approving and enforcing the law.

"You kid, don't even think about being lazy. Now, you go and act as the head of the Nahu branch of the temporary appointment office."

This Nahuya is the leader in charge of the household's internal treasury and finances.

This is not an ordinary position, which shows how much Oda Nobunaga values ​​Nobutora.

Of course Nobuhu would not refuse, and now he was finally out of trouble.

"Ha, thank you very much, Master."

Oda Nobunaga asked Sawaki Yoshiyuki to bring a ledger and gave it to Nobutora, saying: "What is recorded here is my property, and I will leave it all to you for safekeeping."

Nobuhu took the account book and replied: "Master, don't worry, I will never make a mistake in calculating a number."

Coming out of Oda Nobunaga's small courtyard, Nobutora breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was forced to take the military route, judging from Oda Nobunaga's habit of squeezing his retainers, sooner or later he will hold multiple positions. .

You must know that when Akechi Mitsuhide was re-employed by Oda Nobunaga, he had to wear many jobs and had to lie on the hospital bed to work when he was sick. There were rumors that Akechi Mitsuhide was exhausted.

Of course, Akechi Mitsuhide did not die. He just collapsed due to an acute gastrointestinal illness and then worked while sick.

Nobuhu didn't think so much anymore. After all, there was no labor contract in this era, and there was nothing he could do about being used like a donkey. He could only make some achievements and improve his status.
