Azuchi Castle in February of Tensho 9
While I was chatting with Shingoro, the messenger came back. It was decided to hold the ceremony in my father's hall as soon as the preparations are made, as the response from the family members was generally favorable.
It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.
It's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on a new one. You know what I mean? You're going to make shiitake mushrooms and sake, right? And money guzzling ...... Wow, I should have read more carefully! Fortunately for us, the Oda family was so rich they didn't care about it.
The problem is the tactics, I don't know of any convenient tactics and I'm afraid the only way to deal with them is to outnumber them! Numbers are power!
No, ...... it's a super-brainy strategy, so I'm sure Shingoro will be pissed at me. ...... Do you think about it properly?
I'm sure you're right, my grandfather did a three-step gun shot at the Battle of Nagashino. Then my grandson I would only have a cannon! Was there ever this era? Well, if it's in Europe, I'm sure it's there, and if it's in Osaka, they trade. Maybe I'll ask my grandfather about it later.
The rest is just a matter of studying steadily. I wonder if I could find a book on Confucius and the like? Hmmm, it's the Oda family. I'm not sure I've ever heard of it. I'm not sure if I've ever heard of it, but I know only Takenaka Hanbei, and that's Hideyoshi's, right? I'm sure he'll resent you if you steal his vassal's... Shingoro is fine. I'm sorry, Shingoro, I'll be adding both military and civilian officials one day, so until then, good luck!
Come to think of it, how did Hideyoshi unify the country? Beat Akechi, carry me in the Kiyosu Conference, beat Shibata, and then ...... what's next? I know the last one is Hojo, but I have no idea what's in between. I wonder if they attacked Mori or Uesugi? Or Shikoku? I have to think about it properly if I want to unify the world too. No, if you think that such a good man would be a vassal ......
Ha! No, no, no, no, you'll get puppet in seconds if you think so naively, you have to get her to admit she's the master! If you think about it, there was a theory that Hideyoshi was the mastermind behind the Honnoji Incident: ...... and I don't trust him!
I don't know what it was, but my high school teacher said that China's big return is too fast? In fact, the historical me would be Hidenobu if I did my duty. The Oda family uses "Nobu" as a nickname, according to Shingoro, and this nickname is important in determining the name. In history, Hideyoshi must have been the parent of the eboshi, because he even carried me on his back when he did his military service. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.
You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. I guess it's Ieyasu? But this guy is more untrustworthy, and not just the theory of the mastermind, he's black inside. As I recall, he entrusted his son to Ieyasu just before Hideyoshi's death in Taiga, but then he destroyed him as usual.
I'm surrounded by enemies! And how is it possible to be in the same level range as your grandfather? Huh. ...... The best way to earn the trust of the vassals is to earn their trust.
I was pondering the future when a messenger came to tell me that the preparations were finally ready. When I arrived at my father's hall, I was carried by a pine tree, and I was ushered into his side. It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. No. ...... If you look closely, only the two people in the center are a little forward. I'm sure you'll be able to find out if these two are Nobuyo and Nobutaka, ...... and they're really sparks, so this is more of a grudge match than a rival! If we don't manage to get it back on track, it's going to be a mess.
I'd like to thank you all for coming here. Do your best for the Oda family again this year.
"Haha!
Hmm. I would like to introduce to you, my three trueborn brothers and sisters. All right, gentlemen, please.
Grandfather, this is the first time we have seen you. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
You're a new acquaintance, even if you're one of my relatives, and you've worked so hard for the Oda family for so long. It's important to be polite to them, even on close terms.
This is a very polite way of saying thank you. A man is Sansuke Nobuyi, and I would like to thank you for your continued support.
A man is 37 Nobutaka. I have heard of you, the Three Fathers. I am honored to meet you, as I have heard that you are a child prodigy from Gifu.
It's not just a simple matter of how many times you've been in the past, but also how many times you've been in the past. I'm going to be able to learn it from now on. It's a good thing that you've memorized the first two.
It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
"Why do Sanskey and Sanshichi have a problem with each other?
The question was too direct and straightforward, and the way they spoke was slurred, as if they were both upset by the question.
It's not like that, though: ......
"Your uncles know what to do, don't they? Would you be willing to give up your land as well as "Kobayakawa" and "Kikkawa," which are awarded with the sales war?
Shingoro told me that they were both adopted by a prominent family. Maybe my grandfather wanted them to be like Mouri Ryoukawa. If you support my father by becoming friendly rivals and not grudge enemies, the Oda family will not be crushed even if the Honnoji Incident occurs.
I agree. I'm sure your father is counting on you to support me as the head of the Kobe and Kitabatake families. I'm sure there are things we both think about, but I hope that you will take this opportunity to improve our relationship.
"If your brother says so, so be it. ......
The atmosphere in the hall seems to have softened somewhat, thanks to both of them nodding grudgingly to my father's words. It may not be easy to get along with them right away, but I hope you can get along with them little by little. Because we are a family. I don't want to kill each other and I don't want to see it.
Phew. ...... Finally done, I'm tired! I couldn't take a break because everyone kept talking to me. I'm glad we got along so well.
You are well aware that Nobutaka and Nobuyo are at odds with each other, Sanboshi?
"I was taught by the mythical heroes, and I was very nervous around the doctor, so I just went ahead and did it.
In fact, Uncle Xinbao and Uncle Chang Yi who were next to me looked like they had a stomachache. I felt sorry for them.
Well, you've been paying attention to the Three Lawyers, that's great. There's no doubt that both of them are loyal to the Oda family, but they've been on bad terms with each other since long ago. I was worried that they might bring discord to the Oda family.
I'm sure my dad was worried about it, too, because it was considered dangerous ...... and possibly defeated.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more. You are not a bad person.
Hmm, that's right. Well, it's dinnertime, and the three buddhas will be here, too.
My dad smiled softly and patted me on the head. He looked somewhat refreshed, perhaps because one of his worries had been resolved.
The meeting with the clansmen ended without incident, and from tomorrow, we will be able to meet our retainers. I'll have to check with Shingoro later, I'm looking forward to tomorrow!
