A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

On March 26, the Oda army arrived at Seta River.

Legend has it that Takeda Shingen's last words before his death were: "I saw my flag passing Seta Bridge!"

Just because this Seta River is the largest tributary of Pipa Hunan, it can even be regarded as the last natural barrier before entering Luoyang.

If the controller of Luoyang does not deploy large armies at Seta River and Seta Bridge to block the Shangluo army coming from the east, then the entire Luoyang will be completely open and all barriers will be lost.

When Sakuma Nobumori, the vanguard of the Oda Army, crossed the Seta Bridge, the imperial envoy finally arrived. The samurai master Asukai Masaharu and the former Dai Nagon Kikuttei Haritsugu came hand in hand.

They brought the goodwill of the forbidden area to welcome Oda Nobunaga to Beijing, and implored Oda Nobunaga to temporarily station troops in Seta River for one day.

As for the reason for suspending troops for one day, it is also very simple. It is to give the people of Luoyang one day to escape!

In the past, the army of Shangluo entered the center of the country from various valleys and countryside and controlled the heart of the country. He controls a huge city with a population of hundreds of thousands, prosperous towns, magnificent temples and shrines, and fair-skinned Luo Jing women.

No daimyo has ever been able to control his soldiers. He often enters the city and marches for three days without calling names or sealing swords. Naturally, this was just a joyous feast for the soldiers of Luo Army. But for the people of Luoyang, it was a terrible disaster.

The Holy Emperor had a good life, and asked Nobunaga Oda to stop the army, give the officials a small favor, and allow the people of Luoyang, who were suffering and displaced, to escape with their lives.

When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he not only did not stop his troops, but also ordered the soldiers to speed up their march.

Hearing this, Asukai Masaharu and Kikutei Haritsugu immediately showed their unbearable expressions, pitying the people of Luoyang who were about to be ravaged by a powerful daimyo in Luoyang.

But things did not go as they thought. Oda Nobunaga immediately ordered Kinoshita Tokichiro Hideyoshi, Murai Minbu Shaosuke Sadakatsu and Akechi Jubei Mitsuhide to serve as envoys in Kyoto. Hurry to Beijing and set up notice boards.

Announcement for peace of mind!

Don't take advantage of the masses!

Even if you drink a sip of water from a fellow villager, you will be beheaded!

Then the army arrived at Baihe, and along the way were the people of Kyoto who knelt on the ground to greet Shangluo's army!

Their faces were full of fear, surprise, hostility and fear. But the signboards set up at every intersection are so righteous, declaring Oda Nobunaga's identity as "King Master".

When the Oda army publicly executed a soldier who had eaten fruit from a common people at the source of Liutiao River, the people of Luoyang were overjoyed and their hearts changed from fear to welcome.

On the second day, General Ashikaga Yoshiaki announced the appointment of three senators and Lieutenant General Sakonoe!

The Muromachi shogunate rises again!

Behind him is the endorsement of an army of 60,000, carrying the majesty of the Rokkaku clan that had just wiped out Minami Omi's guardians. The imperial court and ministers placed their hopes on Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga, hoping that they would create a new era.

Another day, Oda Nobunaga's order came to inform the four of them, Masatada. Ashikaga Yoshiaki appointed Oda Nobunaga as the shogunate to exercise power and control, and the imperial teachings arrived at the same time.

At the same time, Yamauchi Taro appointed the four major generals of Sakonoe and Shinano as Shogun, and agreed to be promoted to the palace!

Koheita came from the Zikoji family of the Tsinghua family, and served as the police officer for Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Yamauchi Taro when they went to the palace. He was granted the title of imperial concubine by the shogunate, and was promoted to Shodaibute from the fourth position, and was promoted to the palace.

Hosokawa Kainyo was also granted the title of imperial concubine by the shogunate. She was appointed as one of the four junior cainyu ministers, and was promoted to the palace. Together with her, she served as a police officer.

Not surprisingly, Oda Nobunaga resigned from the post of chief of staff and only accepted the official rank of senior four.

A new decree immediately came from the Shanshui Guangzhu Temple, and this time it was announced by Wada Weimasa personally. Ashikaga Yoshiaki appointed Oda Nobunaga as the deputy general of the Muromachi Shogunate!

Refusing again!

At this time, there was a quarrel in the Kotsuji Temple where Ashikaga Yoshiaki temporarily lived. No one could figure out what medicine Oda Nobunaga was selling in his gourd.

You went to Beijing not just to control the great justice of the world, and then to control the situation of the world. It's understandable that you are too young to be the leader. After all, in theory, you can only govern on behalf of young generals.

But the world's deputy general is too young for you? General, you have done your job, what else can I do to seal you?

The fine person Kawafuji Takashi then thought, "Why don't you call Oda Nobunaga daddy?"

Oh!

The Guangzhou Temple suddenly became quiet!

Why do young people these days only think about being a father and enjoy it endlessly?

On the contrary, Ashikaga Yoshiaki went out because he wanted to be my father! What a big deal! Anyway, I won’t suffer any loss if I call Dad! The dead ghost dad Ashikaga Yoshiharu knew that he was not cuckolded.

This time, Hosokawa Fujitaka personally took action and sent the imperial teaching book to Oda Nobunaga. He didn't believe there was anyone in the world who could refuse Ashikaga Yoshiaki's call to be called daddy!

Or refuse!

Okay, now even Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was willing to risk everything, was dumbfounded! The world was changing so fast that he even cuckolded his father Ashikaga Yoshiharu, but Oda Nobunaga was still not satisfied!

Koheita and Naoe Keizuna sat below, watching the fierce argument among a group of ministers. The two old men smiled knowingly, as if you understand me.

"Heita-chan, do you have any clues?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so confused that he finally remembered that there was an old Yinbi down there.

"Your Highness, what people love is nothing more than fame and wealth!" Xiaoping Taiyi bowed.

"You mean, money!"

"Since Oda-den doesn't want fame, it must be practical and profitable!"

"But..." Ashikaga Yoshiaki spread his hands. This shogunate is just a shell. It has so much money, let alone repaying Oda Nobunaga. He can't even recruit two or three thousand people to protect Luoyang.

"You don't need cash!" Naoe Keetsuna also bowed and echoed.

"Otsu!" Hosokawa Fujitaka suddenly reacted.

"Your Highness can confer the title of Oda-den for Otsu!" Kodaira knew that this was what Nobunaga wanted.

Once Otsu is enshrined, the entire prosperous waterway on the south bank of Lake Biwa and the lively village market will be legally taken over by Oda Nobunaga. This was not only a huge amount of income, but also an important business district for quickly raising horses, iron cannons, gunpowder, and grain and grass near Kinki.

It was Hosokawa Fujitaka who still went to deliver the order, and Oda Nobunaga received Hosokawa Fujitaka very happily. After hearing that Dajin was granted the title of Enforcement, he nodded repeatedly, expressing that he was deeply impressed by it, and then he replied.

Need more money!

Otsu’s devotion is not enough, add another Sakai’s devotion!

The current leader of Sakai is Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, but he has been out of control of Sakai's affairs for two years.

Whether you can manage Sakai ultimately depends on your strength. Since you, Oda Nobunaga, want it, I will give it to you. Anyway, you can get it based on your ability. There is no guarantee whether you can get it or not.

In the end, Oda Nobunaga, who went to Luo Luo and went to Beijing, only did a mere following. The news soon spread throughout Japan. All the daimyo ridiculed Oda Nobunaga for his lack of wisdom and for falling into the eyes of money.

As for who will laugh at whom in the future, it is still unclear!
