Owari country.

Oda’s main castle, Komaki mountain castle.

At the beginning, Oda Nobunaga of Inuyama Castle and Mino's Saito formed an alliance against Oda Nobunaga who intended to unify Owari.

Because Inuyama Castle is too far from Cheongju Castle, Oda Nobunaga aimed to shorten the distance of attack and also for the purpose of entering Mino in the future.

So Nobunaga Oda made a bold decision to move the residence from Cheongju Castle to Komaki Mountain Castle.

The relocation of the city, like the relocation of the capital of the ancient dynasty, is a huge project.

After many dynasties moved their capitals in history, they used this as a starting point for innovation and forge ahead.

Just as the Qin Empire moved its capital nine times in order to advance the Central Plains, and finally took Xianyang as its center to seize the world.

At that time, Oda Nobunaga played a small trick in order to reduce the resistance of his retainers.

When I first announced to the retainers, they said that they would move the residence to Mount Ninomiya next to Inuyama Castle. Because this plan was too risky and was opposed by all the retainers, Nobunaga pretended to compromise:" Then move to Komaki Mountain."

And this time most of the retainers agreed.

The exact location of Mount Komaki is in Komaki Township in Kasugabe County in the northern part of Owari.

In August of the sixth year of Yongluo, Nobunaga first sent a thousand people to station here, and then Niwa Nagahide, who was good at building the Oda family, was responsible for the construction of the city. After more than 90 days, it was officially completed at the end of the year.

After completing the cultivation, Oda Nobunaga immediately moved his residence and the residence of his family members from Cheongju Castle to Komaki Mountain Castle.

There are four to five hundred samurai houses, Ashikaru long houses, and horse houses under Komakiyama. And the most central is the Nobunaga Mansion, which sits in the middle like stars crisscrossing the moon.

At the moment Oda Nobunaga is in the castle tower on the top of Komaki Mountain, looking at the Noo Plain at his feet. The reason why he chose to build a castle on Komaki Mountain is because Komaki Mountain is a lonely mountain on this plain.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, you can get a glimpse of the military situation within a few miles.

At this moment, in the evaluation room of the castle tower behind Oda Nobunaga, four important retainers of Oda's family are sitting.

At the top, Shibata Gorokuro repairs the home.

In the second seat, Sakumaemon Wei Nobumori.

Again, Niwa Gorozaemon Yutakahide.

In the end, there was a young man with a sharp mouth and a thin face. He was Kinoshita Tokichiro.

At that time, there was a folk song circulating in Owari Kuni, "Go forward Shibata, step back Sakuma, Yonegoroza, Kapok Fujikoshi", it is said that these four retainers are now the most used and trusted under Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga alone looked down at the scenery below Komakiyama Castle, strode to the other end of the room and put a samurai sword in his hand.

Hearing a shuddering sound, Oda Nobunaga drew his sword out of its sheath, and the sword in the house suddenly felt like snow, and the bright blade of light reflected on the person's face, showing that this samurai sword is a good sword.

Oda Nobunaga stretched out his hand, and then the little surname beside him understood, and quickly took a piece of silk cloth.

Oda Nobunaga took the silk cloth and slowly wiped the blade. If you look closely at the small characters engraved on the knife, you can see that on May 19th of the third year, Yoshimoto asked and engraved his sword. Oda Owari Shouxin long.

Oda Nobunaga wiped it off, put the knife into its scabbard, and threw it to the small surname. Then he said to his retainers: "This Suzumori writing is said to have been given to the visiting former Patriarch Takeda of the Takeda family when Miyoshi Sumizo was in Kyoto. Nobuto, then Nobuto Takeda banished his son to Suruga, and gave the knife to his son-in-law Yoshimoto Imagawa."

Speaking of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Oda Nobunaga's solemn face showed a little sarcasm, saying: "After Imagawa Yoshimoto got this sword, he cherished it very much, so he held it by his side every day. During the night attack of Stabbing Sayama, He was killed in battle with this sword in his hand. Now this famous sword has been transferred to Nobunaga's hand. From now on, this sword will no longer be called Zongsanzuo writing, but Yoshimotozuo writing."

Oh

After Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, the four retainers present at the same time bowed down and said.

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and said: "Miyoshi Sumizan, Imakawa Yoshimoto is dead, Takeda Nobunaga is still there, but he is no longer alive. However, his son, Kai no Shingen, will be my Nobunaga in the future. The biggest opponent. At this moment, his fourth son Suwa Katsuyori sent someone to contact us, hoping that our Oda family can ally with Takeda and share the world, Oda Shangluo, Takeda seizes Kanto, repeats Kyoto Kamakura, two public parties I don’t know how you see the structure of the chambers?"

As a retainer, Katsuji Shibata took the lead in saying: "As the lord worries, Takeda of Kai is a famous sect of Genji. It has always had the ambition to take the place of the shogunate. Therefore, Shingen Takeda’s plan of Shangrao is known to both women and children, and I Owari country and Mino country are the only way for the Takeda family to go to Rakura. Sooner or later there will be a battle. So even if the two alliances are only temporary and unreliable, they are by no means comparable to the Tokugawa family alliances. ."

"And Katsuyori Suwa proposed to form an alliance with my Oda family, but it is his weighing strategy. His brother Takeda Yoshinobu has the support of the Imagawa family behind him, so he wanted to use the Oda family to fight Takeda Yoshinobu. And my Oda family is now. The most important task is to merge Mino, and we should not be distracted by other things at this moment."

Oda Nobunaga was noncommittal about Shibata's opinion. He turned to Niwa Nagahide and asked, "Nagahide, what do you think?"

Niwa Nagahide has always been known for being cautious and serious in Oda's family, so he has always been careful when he speaks. He said to Oda Nobunaga: "Return to the lord, I agree with Shibata-sama's analysis just now, but in terms of coping strategies, I think it is OK. In question, it is necessary to know that there is a Zhongshan Road connection between the Mino country and the Shinano country. Whether Takeda Shingen has the ambition to enter Mino from the Zhongshan Road is unknown."

"But an alliance with Takeda can destroy the relationship between Takeda Shingen and the Imagawa family, and divert his attention to Tokaido. This is of great benefit to the family."

Nobunaga Oda put his hands on his chest and nodded to Niwa Nagahide's opinion.

Seeing that Oda Nobunaga had made a decision, the four retainers including Shibata Katsueka stopped making other persuasion.

"monkey."

"Oh" As the bottom, Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro, a short stature, he heard Oda Nobunaga's call, and said passionately.

Oda Nobunaga laughed and walked to the front of Kinoshita Tokichiro.

Oda Nobunaga kicked Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro on the shoulder, and said in a serious tone: "Last time you and Tadahiro went to the Takeda's house, you didn't get anything, and you lost my beloved horse Blacksmith. I'm very disappointed about this. New Year's Eve. After that, you and Tadahiro will give me another trip to Takeda's house and ask Takeda Shingen for a kiss in my name."

"If it fails this time, you will stay in Kai for me and go as a mountain monkey. You don't need to come back to me, understand?"

"Oh," Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro said loudly, full of energy, "Subordinates must bow... and after death..."

Hearing Kinoshita Tokichiro dropping his schoolbag, the retainers present laughed, and Shibata Katsumi who was sitting on Kinoshita Tokichiro, Sakuma Nobuemori's face was more mocking, and he was obviously looking down on it.

"Yes, it's just to die." Oda Nobunaga cupped his belly and laughed while correcting Kinoshita Tokichiro's mistake.

"Oh, Lord Wise, that's exactly what he said."

Tokoshiro Kinoshita raised his seemingly funny face and smiled at Oda Nobunaga.

But at this time, Oda Nobunaga flew a kick, stepped on his face, and kicked Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro to the ground with a puff.

The laughter in the assessment room stopped abruptly, Shibata and the other three quickly resumed their original posture of worshipping.

Oda Nobunaga said to Kinoshita Tokichiro, "Don't do nothing like the last time, otherwise I will really kill you, understand?"

Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro oozes a few blood from the tip of his nose, and quickly resumed his kneeling posture, and then with a croak, he bowed to Nobunaga's feet.

Oda Nobunaga walked back to the main seat and looked at Nobumori Sakuma, and asked, "The matter of the Takeda family can come to an end. How are the discussions about the alliance with the Asai family?"

Sakuma Nobuya said: "Still at a stalemate, the Asai family has always had ambitions for Mino, so they are quite resistant to their seizure of Mino."

"Furthermore, there are also different opinions on the attitude of the Oda family within the Asai family. The owner of the family, Asai Nagamasa, is an alliance with the family, while the former owner of the family’s father Hisamasa Asai has an opposing attitude. Both father and son hold the same word. The people of the subordinates are attached to one of them. So after talking for a long time, there is still...no...success."

The more Sakuma Nobunori said down, the more he realized that Oda Nobunaga's face was wrong, so he hurriedly ended.

Oda Nobunaga took a heavy breath, and the retainers who knew him knew that this was a sign of his anger, so he became more cautious.

Oda Nobunaga said: "The current major enemy of the Asai family should be the Hexagon family in Nanomi. The rest of the statement is just a pretext. Okay, Shinmori, it is the alliance condition that Ichihime marrying Asai Nagamasa. One to show the sincerity of our alliance."

As soon as Oda Nobunaga said this, the four retainers of UU reading www.uukanshu.com were all surprised. Everyone knew that Oda City was Oda Nobunaga’s favorite sister, so Oda Nobunaga was willing to take Oda City. Marrying Asai Nagamasa is enough to show the sincerity of his alliance.

However, among the four, the biggest reaction was Shibata Katsuya and Kinoshita Tokichiro, who had been watching Oda City for a long time.

When I heard the news that Oda Nobunaga planned to marry Oda City to Asai Nagamasa, his face suddenly turned pale, as if he heard the sound of heartbreak.

Oda Nobunaga smiled and said: "Asai Nagamasa is a rare hero in the world. It is not shameful for Ashi to marry him, my sister of Nobunaga."

There was a pause for Oda Nobunaga, his gaze showed a sorrowful look, and he said: "At present, the Matsuhira clan of the Imagawa family can do it. If the alliance of the Asai clan can be achieved, and then I can stabilize Takeda Nobunaga. Peace of mind has captured Mino, so..."

"So... Monkey, this time the alliance Takeda must be achieved, understand?"

"Oh" Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro said loudly. . ..
