A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

After leaving a thousand banners standing troops in the central city of Kaifu, Koheita escorted some rice and money back to the mountains.

After all, Kofu Castle, which was afraid of chaos in Kai and was slightly weak in defense, still needed to increase enough standing troops. It will be fine after this winter, Xiaopingtai comforted herself.

After all, Konishiharazaemon transferred his title from Iida, Ina County to Ishiwa Shisenkan, Yamanashi County, Kai Country, and could only bring out a total of 600 people. If something happened to this small number of people, it would be a waste of time.

It’s all preparation now!

Caution is the boat!

After returning to Yamauchi, the judges sat down again. This time everyone was empty, and they began to discuss the relationship with the Oda family. This time, Oda Nobunaga was not given face, but the two sides did not have a quarrel with each other, so they still had to maintain at least a superficial intimacy.

One is a loyal minister who supports the shogunate, and the other is the most powerful vassal of the shogunate, and they are each other's backers. There is caution in cooperation, and cooperation is better than caution.

The Yamauchi family has the giant Hojo beside them, and Oda has countless people who are eyeing him. Both sides understand that they need each other. Friendly signals must be released to achieve temporary peace.

Yamauchi is very direct. Yamauchi Chasumaru is thirteen years old on New Year's Day. According to the practice of Japan's Warring States Period, it is not strange to be served at this age.

The eldest daughter of Chief Accountant Yamauchi was adopted by Yamauchi Yoshiharu and married to Hosokawa Hariyu. His second daughter was originally intended to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family. It just so happens that I got to know Yamauchi Chasumaru.

Everyone discussed it and finally decided to name Yamauchi Chasaki Maru Yamauchi Yoshio. This name was suggested by Kodaira. When everyone was discussing it at that time, Xiaoheita said it was okay. After all, Chashenmaru was called Nobuo on another parallel line. It's not a bad thing to change to Yixiong now, the character "xiong" is pretty good.

Hosokawa Harugong's father-in-law took it upon himself to get a haircut, while Imagawa Yoshiki crowned his patriarchal younger brother. From now on, Yamauchi Yoshio will be completely a member of the Yamauchi clan and will inherit the family business of Yamauchi's chief accountant.

In order to show his solemnity, the huge territory of Miyazawa in Kai Juma County of 4,200 kan was also granted to Yamauchi Yoshio (the chief accountant of Yamauchi was entitled to 1,200 kan of it). He dropped by Nobu Gifu and asked his former biological father, Oda Nobunaga, to declare his official position for him.

Oda Nobunaga agreed to this kind of thing quickly, and without hesitation, he got a good one for his former son, from the fourth to the next. He started very high, far superior to all the officials of the Yamauchi clan. From now on, he can also be honored as Yiyuden, Koshu Miyazawa's attendant.

Asukai Masaharu, the military official in the imperial court, also sent a signal, which was recommended by Oda Nobunaga and approved by Ashikaga Yoshiaki. As a member of the Ashikaga clan, the Yamauchi clan enjoys the political treatment of the Ashikaga Rianji clan, that is, the Goichi clan, in terms of political treatment.

In other words, when the Yamauchi family's relatives are appointed to official positions in the future, they do not need to start from the fifth position, but directly to the ranks and official positions from the fourth position.

Nobunaga also used this to express his close goodwill to the Yamauchi family, and in order to congratulate Yamauchi Yoshio on his Yuanfu, Nobunaga also sent Omi Kunitomo one hundred iron cannons and money as a gift.

The Yamauchi family also used Shinano Koma ten heads as a reward to thank Oda Nobunaga for his enthusiasm.

In short, one of the most important links between the two parties on the surface, Yoshio Yamauchi, has received unprecedented attention. At a young age, he was appointed as the royal head of Taro Yamauchi, managing and commanding Taro Yamauchi's friends.

The Yamauchi family attaches great importance to and cultivates Yamauchi Yoshio. In addition to the concept of cultivating younger generations, it also shows that the covenant between the two parties is indestructible and will not crack due to trivial matters.

…………

In fact, Nobunaga quickly put this matter behind him. Since the Yamauchi family was not the kind of weakling who would swallow his anger under pressure, Nobunaga would naturally adjust his strategy and rearrange his layout.

The decision to attack the Asakura clan will not change, but the powerful Asai clan in Jiangbei has not yet been completely appeased, and winter is about to begin again. There will be terrible heavy snowfall in Echizen, and the snow may be as thick as one meter, which is not a good time to use troops.

With Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka, who had just become Nobunaga's son and daughter's in-laws, as lobbyists, Kyogoku Takayoshi finally let go of the so-called glorious name of three managers and four positions in a famous family. He accepted the Three Thousand Kan Tomokyō Atsugi given by Oda Nobunaga, and completely gave up the Kyogoku family's last claim to the position of guardian of Kitaomi.

Before the snow fell, Asai Nagamasa, who was appointed as the guardian of Kitaomi, arrived at Kotani. Although it was just a false name, it still made Asai Nagamasa happy.

Niccolò Machiavelli said it well, it is not the title that glorifies the layman, but the brave man whose name glorifies his ears.

After all, Asai Nagamasa is still a human being. He sees that his brother-in-law is still interested in him. The important point is that his wife's pillow blows day and night. Even if I was extremely angry before, if I didn't retaliate at the time, most of my anger will be gone now.

Aichi and Asai Nagamasa were a very loving couple. They had four lovers in nine years. At this speed, basically the first one is just one year old and the next one is already pregnant. If the couple were not close, they would not be able to achieve this kind of result.

The half of the county promised by Nobunaga was also allocated to the Asai family. When Asai Ryosato rebelled, the people of the Ebei country who were thieves together were still dissatisfied, but it was the time when they were busy dividing their fields, and they spent the whole year Kotani Cheng and Asai Nagamasa showed their loyalty and told stories.

I have done meritorious service for Asai, I have shed blood for Asai, I am Asai’s great loyal minister!

Give me a village!

Judging from the current situation, the Asai family is temporarily stable, and the Yamauchi family is also stable. Oda Nobunaga continued to exert his efforts, and the Isshiki Ukyo doctor Yoshimichi, the guardian of Tango who had just been beaten by the Asakura family, was summoned to the capital by Oda Nobunaga in the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

A meal of deception filled Isshiki Yoshido with righteous indignation. As one of the four members of the old shogunate who still retains a certain amount of power, Ashikaga Yoshiaki also values ​​​​Isshiki.

Through the intermediary of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Oda Nobunaga promised that if Isshiki Yoshimichi could send troops to attack the Asakura clan, Wakasa's guardian Takeda Motoaki would definitely reward him with six thousand kan of Nishi Wakasa's territory in the future.

Moreover, Oda Nobunaga turned his back and presented Isshiki Yoshitoshi with fifty Kuniyou iron cannons as a reward for his coming to pay homage to Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Isshiki Yoshimichi thought to himself that I am a retainer of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and you, Oda Nobunaga, are also a retainer of Ashikaga Yoshiaki. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for me to cooperate with a nouveau riche like you, but that was what my superior, Ashikaga General, said. I'll barely give you Oda Nobunaga some face.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki is still somewhat hesitant about attacking the Asakura clan, because of the example of the Kitahata clan. He believed that Oda Nobunaga was Obama and Tsuruga who slandered the Asakura family. The Asakura family would definitely not be destroyed. There was a high probability that they would just send a son and brother to inherit the Asakura family.

Considering that Oda Nobunaga was usually considered "submissive", Ashikaga Yoshiaki neither explicitly opposed nor offered any special help to his move to encircle Asakura.

Nobunaga's plate is getting bigger and bigger!
