A grand New Year's ceremony was held soon. In order to show off the grandeur of the Oda family, the scale and ostentation of this New Year's ceremony were terrifying. According to Niwa Nagahide's estimation, the cost of this ceremony alone was the annual income of a small daimyo.
.
At the dinner, Yu Qiupei and others were also awarded their own official positions after Oda Nobunaga, as Niwa Nagahide had revealed in advance. Yu Qiupei was awarded the rank of junior minister from among the five subordinates, which made him quite proud.
Satisfied. He couldn't help but wonder if next time he was promoted, he would be able to obtain the same official position as Imagawa Yoshimoto - Daisuke of the Administrative Department? Although this was only a symbolic and false position, it still made Yu Qiuping secretly happy
For half a day.
As for the others, Amakihei, who was immersed in excitement, did not pay too much attention. It seems that Shibata Katsuie was awarded the fifth-ranked repairman, Sakuma Nobumori was awarded the fifth-ranked Settsumori, and Niwa Nagahide was awarded the fifth-ranked repairman.
The Minbu Shaosuke, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi are both in the top six, one is Hyuga Mamoru and the other is Chikuzen Mamoru - they are all from Kyushu. It seems that Oda Nobunaga is not satisfied with his current achievements.
Instead, he regards unification of the world as his only goal. Yu Qiuping is not surprised at all. After all, when he only owned Owari Mino, he dared to use the banner of "arming the world", how could he back down now?
At the banquet, Oda Nobunaga also announced plans and arrangements for the next few years. Shibata Katsuie's Hokurikudo Army will attack Koka in the next year and eradicate Honganji's second largest base in one fell swoop.
Mitsuhide Akechi's Sanin Road Army, Sakuma Nobumori's Ishiyama Surrounding Army, and Amekihei's Miyoshi Family Attack Army were all assigned a unified mission - to capture the Ishiyama Honganji Temple. Oda Nobunaga himself would also lead the Oriji Army.
The Tian family's large direct-controlled troops joined this operation, and the entire army was assembled shortly after the beginning of next spring.
"It's time to settle the accounts with those bald donkeys." Oda Nobunaga said.
As for Hashiba Hideyoshi, Oda Nobunaga had other plans. He was asked to lead his army to the Settsu and Harima area, take over the territory he had established in Settsu not long ago, and establish a brand new army - the Sanyodo Army. He
His mission was to set up a defense line with Araki Murashige at the Settsu-Harima border when Oda Nobunaga led three armies to besiege Ishiyama Honganji Temple to block possible attacks by the Miyoshi family and the Mori family. At this point, why was Hideyoshi Hashiba
The secret behind his promotion to the first echelon was also revealed - he will be the commander of the fifth legion of the Oda family.
As the banquet gradually reached its climax, Oda Nobunaga, who was already a little tipsy, took advantage of the drunkenness and gave the future Oda Home Furnishing City a name - Azuchi Castle, which means "peaceful paradise".
Tian Nobunaga threatened to pacify the entire world and create a peaceful paradise within ten years after the completion of Azuchi Castle. For this reason, Niwa Nagahide secretly joked with Yu Qiupei that if this was the case, he would build the city slower and more
Give Oda Nobunaga a few years and let him not be anxious.
At the end of the banquet, Oda Nobunaga announced a piece of news that shocked everyone - he would give up the position of governor of the Oda family and Mino Gifu Castle to his eldest son, Oda Nobutada. And he
This place will be used as a new residence after the fall of Azuchi Castle - now Niwa Nagahide does not dare to slow down the progress, otherwise Oda Nobunaga will not have a place to live.
The profound meaning of Oda Nobunaga's actions made everyone think deeply. In Japan, there is no such precedent - a house governor who is still in his prime gives up his throne to his children in advance, and he still helps to control the situation.
power, thereby establishing a firm foothold for his children and completing a smooth transition after a hundred years. However, Oda Nobunaga's move is obviously not just to establish prestige and pave the way for Oda Nobutada. Compare this matter with Oda
Nobunaga is getting higher and higher from the towards him
It seems that some clues can be seen by linking the official positions.
Oda Nobunaga seemed to want to step outside the Oda family and build a new samurai system to rule the entire world with a more transcendent attitude to replace the original shogunate system. However, no one could have imagined that Oda Nobunaga
What exactly was on his mind was because Oda Nobunaga never mentioned it to others.
But this time, even Amamei Akihei couldn't figure out what Oda Nobunaga was thinking. Because in the history of his previous life, Oda Nobunaga was buried in the raging sea of ​​fire at Honnoji Temple before he could reveal his intentions.
Medium. However, Yu Qiupei could guess intuitively that Oda Nobunaga must want to make some big changes.
Looking at Oda Nobunaga, Amakihei slowly looked away from him and found Lin Xiuzhen sitting in a dark corner. The latter was as low-key as ever. As the head of the Oda family, he did not
He won any official position in this reward, and his territory was not even as large as some of the important ministers in the second echelon. Many people secretly speculated that Lin Xiuzhen had been abandoned by Oda Nobunaga, and he was only given a title of "Old Master"
It's just a seat - after all, he hasn't done anything for a long time.
But Yu Qiuping didn't think so. He had seen the power of this silent man. Miyoshi Yixian's theory of "people who do dirty things" was still in his mind. Everyone who wants to achieve great things has a family at home.
There must be someone who silently does dirty things in the shadows. Yu Qiuping believes that this person in the Oda family is none other than Lin Xiuzhen. He does not seek fame or fortune, but just hides in the shadows with peace of mind.
When he looks up at the world, he can see the path under his feet clearly.
Will he know what Oda Nobunaga is thinking?
Yu Qiuping had such an idea in his mind.
He always felt that this man should know a lot of things.

On January 3, the third year of Tianzheng (1575), the Yuqiu family was located in the staff headquarters of Maple Leaf Mountain City.
Yu Qiuyu is playing war chess with Naoe Nouhei - it is still the three-day battle that is the most popular among the army officers and soldiers. However, Yu Qiuyu and Naoe Nouhei are playing the latest version, and the Tokugawa family can also use Ume.
User control of the Qiu family.
Since the officers were all on vacation, and the staff on duty in the staff department had no urgent work, they just let the two children play war chess on the sand table - this was much more exciting than playing on map paper. Naomasa Ii stood on the sand table
on the other side, acting as referee for the two of them.
"Narugenmaru, are you crazy? You actually let the Tokugawa family leave the city?" Yu Qiuyu watched Naoe Nobui push the chess pieces symbolizing the Tokugawa family's soldiers out of the city, and asked in surprise, "Everyone agrees
Isn’t the strategy of fighting to keep the Tokugawa family in the city and garrison it? If there is a bonus to defending the city, the Takeda family will not be able to defeat it easily."
"I don't care about that. Anyway, Yuqiu's army is almost here." Naoe Nobuei proudly pointed to one of the Yuqiu family's chess pieces located on the official road of Mikawa Ii Valley, "There is also my artillery team here.
Woolen cloth!"
"You can't win, but I'm a well-known strategic player. Even Takenaka-sama can't defeat me." Yu Qiuyu snorted, patted his chest as if he really looked like a master of the art of war, and then took the Takeda family's chess piece.
Some of them changed direction and pushed from Mikatahara to Hamamatsu Castle, "You don't need to go to Mikatahara, I will kill you on the road!"
"Both sides please roll the dice to determine the attack." Ii Naomasa lowered his head and squinted at the distance on the chessboard, confirming that the two vanguards had entered the fighting distance, "Yamagata Shokage's Akabei Division versus Sakai Tadatsuki's Division."
"Throw 7, and your army will collapse." Yu Qiuyou
He confidently shook the three dice in his hand, and then threw them on the table. The dice rolled a few times and stopped - 221=5.
"Why are you so unlucky?" Yu Qiuyou stomped his feet with some annoyance, "It's too embarrassing."
Naoe Tohei, however, was calm and unhurried. He shook the dice in his hand for a while, chanted a few blessing spells, and then threw it on the table. The three dice spun quickly for a while, although they were not completely finished.
Stopped, but all three children had already seen the upward sides - the three 6's.
"You're pretty lucky, yes!" Yu Qiuyu couldn't help but admired after seeing this judgment and knowing that Sakai Tadashi's troops could launch a surprise attack.
"Routine operations, what do you call them?" Naoe Nobuhira calmly pressed his palms to signal Yu Qiuyu not to get excited. Meanwhile, Ii Naomasa on the side was looking for the judgment of this surprise attack on the rule sheet.
"Please throw the dice again. A second judgment is required here." Ii Naomasa squinted his eyes for a while and then said.
Naoe Tohei shook the dice vigorously again and threw it on the table - three more 6s.
"You're a dog! I'm going? Naruhimaru? You, you, you..." Yuqiuyou has never played war chess with Naoe Nopei. He doesn't know what the rumored "good luck" is, but now he understands it.
Already.
"Sakai Tadashi's troops used slings to attack, causing the Yamagata Shokei tribe to fall into chaos, and then defeated the Yamagata Shokei troops in close combat, and the Akabei team was defeated." Naomasa Ii calculated the combat coefficients and rule tables of the two armies.
, trying hard to maintain a stable tone and read out the results of the judgment. However, after reading, I still couldn't help laughing.
"What the hell!" Yu Qiuyou was so angry that he jumped up and down, wishing he could overturn the sand table. "Sakai Chuji, a few people, just threw a few rocks and directly defeated the Red Bei Team? Who believes it? This rule sheet is definitely
There’s a problem!”
"What's the problem? I've been playing for more than a year. If there are any problems, they have been corrected a long time ago." Naoe Nobuei showed a harmless expression and spread his hands with a smile, "I threw three 6s based on my ability, Yuuji
Brother, do you have anything to complain about?"
"It can't happen in reality!"
"How do you know it can't happen? It might just happen!"
Ii Naomasa watched Yu Qiuyou almost lose his temper and quarreled with Naoe Nouhei, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Everyone who plays chess with Naoe Nouhei for the first time will be driven crazy by the latter's divine luck -
—Last time, Naoe Touhei also activated Asakura Yoshikage's troops who had been watching the whole day during the lobbying judgment of the Kyoto battle. Asakura's army joined the battle and directly swept the entire defense line, defeating Ame Qiupei who was using Miyoshi family.
It was a shame. Naoe Tohei hadn't even put Tokiwa Bei into battle, but Ame Qiupei had already lost both Kyoto and Nijo Castle.
"What are you doing?" At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. Yu Qiu Shang, who was sweating profusely, took a towel and began to wipe his sweat, and at the same time put on a piece of clothing to prevent him from catching a cold.
"We're playing chess." Naoe Touhei replied with a smile, "Where did Brother Shang'er go?"
"I'm going for a run." Yu Qiu Shang replied calmly, "I'll go practice my sword again soon."
"What's so fun about those things? Brother, let's play war chess." Yu Qiuyou, who was crying, wanted to recruit another person to play with him. "Isn't the feeling of commanding thousands of troops more interesting than running and practicing swordsmanship?"
Chapter completed!
