A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Fighting Oda is a big deal, and even if the imperial teaching is issued, it is not something that can be done just now.

Xiao Pingtai believed that this battle could not be fought without more than half a year's supply of food and fodder for an army of 40,000 to 50,000 men. Although they had started to reserve military rations during the summer harvest, it was naturally not enough.

Now that Ashikaga Yoshiaki officially announced his crusade against Oda Nobunaga in Makishima Castle, the moment the Yamauchi family received the imperial teaching, it was directly equivalent to tearing up the alliance with the Oda clan. But in the end, he stood on the moral high ground and was a pioneer for the king. There is nothing unjust about it.

But one person's current status is embarrassing. As the second son of Oda Nobunaga, Yamauchi Yoshio was naturally a little overwhelmed when the Yamauchi family issued a general order to defeat the traitor Oda Nobunaga.

Chief Accountant Yamauchi had a bad impression of Oda Nobunaga's actions of invading the shogunate, but he really liked Yamauchi Yoshio, his son-in-law. In the past few years, Yamauchi Yoshio has been working closely with Ashikaga Yoshiaki. He behaves in a disciplined manner and although he is not top-notch in studies, it is normal. He also has great respect for Ashikaga Yoshiaki. As far as a branch family is concerned, he is a very suitable successor.

Neither outstanding nor lagging behind!

More importantly, he is from the Oda clan! He is the biological son of Mrs. Ikoma, the biological brother of Oda Nobutada, and a serious descendant of the Oda family!

Not only is this status not embarrassing at all, it is actually great news for the Yamauchi family. Once the Yamauchi family can invade the Owari Kingdom, wouldn't Yamauchi Yoshio be the most ready and best flag to recruit and surrender?

Look at Kagetora Uesugi next door. Ever since he adopted the Uesugi family from the Hojo family, he has been fierce in fighting, especially when he beats Hojo, he is really brave. Not only did he compete for the lead time and time again, but he also got some credit for his spear several times. Echigo even became a popular candidate for succession at one time, and received the support of many Echigo samurai.

When Yamauchi Yoshio arrived in Yamauchi, he not only married the daughter of Yamauchi's chief accountant, but also served as the head of the imperial family of Ashikaga Yoshiaki. He collected the documents submitted by the court ministers and received education from Kuaichuan Shaoxi together with Ashikaga Yoshiaki. In fact, he had already participated in the ruling center of the Yamauchi clan.

But after thinking about it for a while, Xiaoping decided that he should still talk to him. After all, it was the same thing.

"Father, Danzheng. The girl..." Yamauchi Yoshio and several big guys present greeted him one by one.

Yamauchi Yoshio is sixteen years old this year, so he is naturally treated as an adult, and everyone present nodded to him one by one. After all, he will inherit the Yamauchi family in the future, and he will be a member of the Yamauchi clan after all.

"Don't be restrained. We are here for no big deal. We have another piece of good news to tell you. The palace has already announced it for you when we were in Luozhong. The imperial court's petition has been issued. Now you are guarding Zhang from the bottom of the five ranks. ”

Isshiki Miyauchi took out the Kobiko and handed it to Yamauchi Yoshio with a smile. The small acknowledgment meant that Owari Mamoru was an official official certified by the imperial court.

"Owari Mamoru?" Yamauchi Yoshio is not stupid. Although he was happy to hear that he was appointed to the official position at first, after a while, he roughly understood why it was Owari Mamoru.

It was obvious that the Yamauchi family used it to disgust Oda Nobunaga after they knew that Ashikaga Yoshiaki had finally made up his mind to fall out with Oda Nobunaga.

Although according to Koheita's idea, Oda Nobunaga was a man with many children and grandchildren, with a large number of sons and daughters, and he paid little attention to the children other than Oda Nobutada. Not to mention Yoshio Yamauchi, who was sent to the Yamauchi family as the adopted son-in-law of Yamauchi's chief planner when he was a child. I'm afraid he can't even remember what the child looks like.

Moreover, the rule of the Warring States Period is that except for the child who inherits the family business, the other sons are basically given away, or the inheritance is divided, or even worse, they are directly shaved into the family (perhaps the most satisfying to a certain extent) . Even if Yamauchi Yoshio stayed in the Oda family, he would just be given to a certain countryman, given a nickname, and work for his eldest brother Oda Nobutada all his life.

The current situation may be an opportunity for Yamauchi Yoshio!

"Now that you have become the heir to the chief planner, we will be honest with you about some things." Xiaoping clarified his thoughts.

"You should be able to understand some things yourself. It's really bitter to choose." Hosokawa Saime also helped.

"A few days ago, Daiki issued a royal decree to attack His Highness Gifu Dansho, and ordered all the great names in the world to declare war on Gifu Dansho! You should already know this. Gifu Dansho is your biological father after all. What do you want to say? Come on!"

Xiao Ping didn't want to force anyone to do something difficult. After all, forceful melons were not sweet. There was no need to rely on threats to convince a sixteen-year-old young man. We have always convinced people with reason and had a good talk with Yoshio Yamauchi.

Of course, it is best to lead the party willingly!

"His Majesty Gifu told me when I came here that I am my father's son-in-law and adopted son, and my father is the chief planner, and I will never change again!"

kindness? So refreshing!

After hearing these words, Chief Accountant Yamauchi nodded with satisfaction. After all, it was more about being kind than nurturing. He had raised Yamauchi Yoshio like his own son for so many years, so he had feelings after all.

Yamauchi Yoshio now doesn't need Xiaoping to talk too much. Although so many adults surrounding him are already a mountain of pressure, after all, they don't really force him with harsh words, so he is willing to choose sides.

You young man is very discerning!

"This is a righteous war, and we will definitely protect the Oda family!"

"Yes, Yamauchi is Master Wang!"

"I will ensure that His Highness is the only one who obeys me in everything I do!" Yamauchi Yoshio said solemnly.

Come on! Then there is no need to talk nonsense, the young man is very smart!

Everyone left the master planner's house in the mountain, and the matter was considered to be over. The Yamauchi family's war machine started to move, and Hosokawa Saime was busy now, so she did not go back with Xiaoheita.

"Will uncle take Jigoro with him to the battle?" Seeing that Uncle Tsuna's hair was starting to turn gray, Koheita lamented the passage of time.

"You have to take him with you! I'm not old enough for a few years. You have to take care of your brother more from now on." Uncle Tsuna Liang walked slowly.

"With your old body and bones, you can live to at least eighty years. Hahahahahaha..."

"Eighty? I don't dare to think about it. I will be satisfied if I can see Jigoro get married and have another child."

"Then you want to rush back to Hamamatsu and prepare to mobilize Enshu's military?"

"Which day to start the army depends on which day you can raise sufficient military rations and funds." Uncle Tsunliang grabbed Xiao Pingtai's hand and patted it.

"Soon, as long as the autumn harvest is completed, everything will be complete, and there will be no shortage!"
