Chapter 293 Post-war
On the evening of May 20, the Oda army finally fled back to the starting point of the attack, Kuroda Castle. The Saito family did not pursue it continuously and stopped the troops before sunset.
In this battle, the Oda family suffered heavy losses. Not only did it suffer many defeats when it was ambushed, but it was also covered in scars under the head-end pursuit of the Saito family army. Only 6,000 people fled back to Ohara. The remaining 3,000 people were either killed or captured, or lost contact because of the collapse. I wonder if they could return to the establishment. The loss was more than 30%, which can be said to be comparable to the disastrous defeat of the Oda Nobuhikawa Battle. Almost all the supplies brought in this battle were lost, and countless armor and weapons were lost.
Ohashi has been facing the shortage of male soldiers because of years of war, and this battle has made the situation worse. The Oda family is likely to have territory but cannot gather out of the army. According to Niba Nagahide's estimate, the Oda family can only mobilize 9,000 people if they are in a position of force, and their strength is already in decline until the eve of the Battle of Tungsama.
From Oda Nobunaga to Oda's family, everyone was still scared of this crushing defeat. At the post-war evaluation meeting, Oda Nobunaga scolded all his subordinates one by one, and it was difficult to eliminate the anger in his heart. The retainers dared not speak out, but in fact everyone knew that the biggest decision-making mistake in this battle came from Oda Nobunaga himself.
As time goes by, more details about this battle have been spread on the land of Nono. It turns out that many wealthy families in Simeono have been ready to ambush Oda Nobunaga, rather than temporarily making a decision. They deliberately did not support Saito Ryuki, just to force Saito Ryuki to give up the power of the center and at the same time to induce Oda Nobunaga to carelessly penetrate into Mino territory. Their "Simino Allied Forces of the Simeono Rich Army are about to rescue Inayayama Castle" is actually just a guise to force the Oda family to retreat, thus giving the Simeono Rich family the opportunity to ambush calmly on the necessary road to retreat. They blocked the news in advance in order to quietly lurk on the west bank of Nagara River to give Oda Nobunaga a fatal blow.
A complete defeat, with no power to fight back, Oda Nobunaga was completely defeated by the Simino family this time, which ruined Oda Nobunaga's prestige. He was originally famous by the surprise attack on Naruto Castle, but now he has become a laughing stock for people. In contrast, the famous Takenaka Shigeji, the planner of the Mino side of the battle. It is said that from the plan, the contact between the rich, and then to the forced Ryuki Saito to compromise and the final tactical arrangement, Takenaka Shigeji played an important role. For a time, the title of "Mino's Kirin Son" resounded throughout Nobu.
·
The richest men of Nishimino also took advantage of the great victory after the war to raise troops to the city of Inayayama Castle, forcing Saito Ryuki to fulfill his promise. Hiroki Hiroki Hiroki and Naoko Naoki and Naoko were driven back to their territory from Inayayama Castle, and the joint meeting of important officials officially replaced Saito Ryuki's team to become the central brain. Ando Momoji, as the person sent by Nishimino to "protect Saito Ryuki" security, led his troops to the barracks outside the west gate of Inayayama Castle. Some of the direct troops of the Saito family were transferred to Ghana Castle, while the other part was driven outside the north gate of Inayayama Castle. The public security and order in Inayayama Castle were also handed over to Ando's confidants to take charge, and Saito Ryuki was completely controlled.
The first thing that happened to the Simino family after they took power was to cut off their alliance with the Asai family, which had many frictions with them, and instead formally formed an alliance with the Hexao family. During the Saito Yoshiro era, for the convenience of Guilu, the Saito family and Hexao family had more contact. After learning about this, the Asai family was very angry, but they had to carefully prepare for war to prevent the enemy from invading the Kitao Omi from two directions.

The sight returned to the end.
Although the Oda family was defeated in this battle, there were also some outstanding features - Yu Qiuping and Takababe. On the battlefield with many crises, Yu Qiuping's calmness in the face of danger and the dazzling formation change left a deep impression on the Oda family's retainers. Yu Qiuping also escaped the fate of heavy losses with Chang Panbei's well-trained training. The Yu Qiuping's casualties encountered during this battle have not reached 10%, so recovery is not a problem.
After this battle, Yu Qiuhei suddenly realized that he had some feelings for the Oda family. Whether it was the hard work of the good friends of Ikeda Hokkai, Morikaze, Maeda Taki family, or Shibata Katsuki, Sakuma Nobumo, fighting for himself, all of them made Yu Qiuhei feel a lot. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind: Can you take other methods to kill Oda Nobunaga without knowing it, without letting him fight against these colleagues on the battlefield.
After thinking about it, Yu Qiuping still put his focus back on life - there have been many troubles recently. Imakawa Kaede had just given birth to Yu Qiucen, and his figure was slightly fat - Yu Qiuping swears, it's really just a slight! No girl who doesn't have to be fat after giving birth! But Imakawa Kaede was so angry that she had to start practicing martial arts to lose weight just after confinement, but she became tired and sick. Well, she really lost her weight and returned to her original appearance, but she felt so distressed that Yu Qiuping couldn't do it.
Another concern is the education of the two children. Imagawa Kaede and Yuqiuhei said that Yuqiu Shang and Yuqiuyou will be 4 years old after the New Year, and it is time to ask a teacher to teach them. Yuqiuhei recommended himself, intending to write textbooks by himself, imparting all the systematic knowledge of later generations to them, and also asked Sena Yoshihiro to teach them some financial management issues. But Imagawa Kaede felt that it was not enough. He believed that Yuqiuhei's teaching methods were just students, but Yuqiu Shang and Yuqiuyou were both children of the martial family and were responsible for inheriting the Yuqiu family's family's business. Therefore, a traditional teacher must be invited to teach him the knowledge that Japanese martial artists must learn.
After thinking about it, Yu Qiuhei felt that the most suitable image of the teacher that Imakawa Kaede wanted was Amano Kyoto, a more traditional Japanese samurai who was very cultural. Amano Kyoto also agreed to Yu Qiuhei's request and planned to start taking care of these two children as a teacher after the Chinese New Year.
Other affairs in the territory were carried out in an orderly manner. The autumn harvest work was carried out under the auspices of Naojiang Zhongping, and the judicial power in Yeli County was basically received by the judges. The village chiefs and elders now had to look at the judges' faces carefully, for fear that their judgment would be declared illegal by the judges. A village chief tried to use authority to threaten the leaders not to go to judge the case, and was reported to Yu Qiuping by the judges who were famous. Yu Qiuping immediately sent a platoon of Chang Pan to the village. The village chief immediately became honest and completely lost all his prestige. He was replaced by the villagers and Yu Qiuping and exiled to the outside world.
The village chief and the elders failed to make a plan and another plan. They planned to bribe the judges so that they could open their minds to themselves. However, most of these judges were old brothers who had been following Yu Qiuping for many years. They were loyal to Yu Qiuping and did not take this trick at all. They reported all the bribery to Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping immediately sent Amano Jingde to crack down on these situations, and many village chiefs suffered. After this, these local snakes had to be honest.
In addition to the judiciary of the territory, Masayuki Sanada and Yoshihiko Se's work also went smoothly. Masayuki Sanada has expanded the total number of intelligence agencies to about 50, and his eyeliners have basically spread across various major towns in Simino. After opening shops, the caravans of Yoshihiko Se's caravan continued to make a lot of money. The four small families who jointly invested in were almost able to repay Yu Qiuhei's debt. These small families who had been digging food for their entire lives have never seen such a quick way of getting money. They were immediately moved by what Yu Qiuhei promised to share the money to them. Kojiki Hinaga and Yukonaga Nonomura even came to visit Yu Qiuhei in person during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Hara Raifang and Kato Mitsuto also sent people to send gifts.
However, just when Yu Qiuping was addicted to territory construction, on October 21, he was urgently called back to Kiyosu Castle by Oda Nobunaga.
·
When Yu Qiuping rode his horse to the city of Kiyosu, it was too late, and Oda Nobunaga was probably asleep. So he took Honda Tada and Ryuko and other guards to go to the Maeda Tada family's home in the castle town for a night, but he didn't want to bump into a friend of the fox at the Maeda Tada family's home.
I saw the Maeda Takaya, Ikeda Yoshihiko, Ikeda Ryono, Ikoma, Naomasa, Yamauchi Ichito and Kishita Fujiro, who hadn't seen for a long time, and seven people were sitting around a round table drinking, each of whom was drinking red. The leftovers and wine on the table were in a mess, and the bottle was also crooked. Ah Song, who was standing beside him, was plucking his cheeks and watching her husband lead a bunch of people to mess up the house.
"Oh my god," Yu Qiuping was frightened when he saw the seven drunk men, "What's wrong with you!"
Yu Qiuping's shout attracted the attention of the people at the table. Yoshiki Ikeda, who was sitting in the direction of Yu Qiuping, suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Qiuping with drunken eyes. He was stunned for two seconds. Yu Qiuping saw his lips moving twice, thinking he was about to speak, but he didn't expect that the big man buried his head in the soup bowl in front of him and burst into tears.
"I'll go! What's wrong?" Yu Qiuping asked loudly at a loss, "Has the lord passed away?"
"The lord has passed away, how could we be so sad!" Rakio Sabuki shouted a rebellious sentence, and then covered his face and started crying. The two of them cried like this immediately caused a chain reaction, and they looked sad that those who heard it were sad and those who saw it were crying.
"Madam Song, what's wrong?" Yu Qiuping asked A Song on the side with laughter and cry.
"Your Highness Yuqiu," Asong bowed politely and replied in a low voice: "Just Kinoshita just brought back the news that the lord decided to marry Princess Ashi to Omi."
After hearing this, Yu Qiuhei immediately realized! The plot in history developed like this. Oda Nobunaga married Oda City, known as the number one beauty in the Warring States Period, to Asai Nagamasa, and the two families formed a marriage alliance. Asai Nagamasa and Oda City also became the enviable couples of gods in the Warring States Period because of their talented and beautiful women. However, this beautiful marriage ended in a tragedy.
"Then why are you guys crying?" Yu Qiuhei shook his head and smiled and patted the round table. "We have a crushing defeat this time. We can no longer compete with Mino and Oda Nobuki, so we have to find allies! Asai Nagamasa has just had a quarrel with the Saito family. Isn't it just a coincidence with us? This is a great thing!"
As soon as Yu Qiuping finished speaking, Yoshiki Ikeda suddenly lifted his head out of the soup bowl. His face was covered with miso soup and seaweed, and his hair was wet, but he didn't know it at all.
Chapter completed!
