Chapter 30: One Sect

Sakura took my helmet and asked carefully, "Mr. Husband, I'll bring some iced fresh fish from Kiyosu Town this morning. Should I come to some sashimi later?"

I said strangely, ‘Hey, does Sakura like sashimi very much? I don’t remember it.’

Sakura shook her head, 'No, the price of iced fresh fish to Ueno in summer is more expensive than gold. I rarely eat it.'

‘Oh, then it seems that only Takeda Shingen can afford it. Kafari’s Jinshan has a lot of money. Forget sashimi, since everyone doesn’t like it, I’ll send it to Daheng City for Lord Akichi Mitsuhide.’ Akichi Mitsuhide likes sashimi very much. During the Tom River guide, because the sashimi was very close to the coast along the way, the sashimi Mitsuhide almost never stopped. It was not until I finally returned to Mino.

At this time, Ying opened a shabby robes I brought back. Seeing the candles, whips and ropes inside, Ying's face turned red, 'My husband, this is...'

I took a look and said, "Oh. The gift from His Highness Tokugawa to me is said to be an antique used by Master Ikki Sojun before his life. Put it away carefully. Be careful, the rope will break as soon as it is pressed."

Princess Ashi on the side gave me a proud look and said to me, "Mr. Husband, the hot water is ready." "I'm sorry to your princess." "It's nothing, it's all done by servants. I'll just call me Ashi in the future. Let Ashi come and take a bath for Mr. Husband."

‘Mr.’ called me in Ashi who was scrubbing me.

‘Yeah.’ I responded comfortably with my nasal voice.

Ashi changed into a short-sleeved shirt and asked while scrubbing the bath, "Mr. Husband, with the size of Mogucheng, there should be no problem to accommodate two or three thousand feet. Why is Mr. Husband only has seven or eight hundred people, and he can't even defend."

‘This…’ Of course I know that the twelve little Tianshou is all filled with more than 3,000 feet. In addition, the city wall and the main Tianshou Mogu Castle are designed according to the standard of maximum capacity of 5,000 feet. However, Oda Nobunaga does not even have 5,000 direct troops. I, a general, have 5,000 people, which is seeking death. My troops have always been set up according to one-quarter of the direct troops of Oda Nobunaga, and this number will never stimulate Oda Nobunaga. Besides, the more than 400 disciples of the Shingyu Dojo in Kiyoshu Town are also considered to be my support. Although these people have been engaged in bodyguard work in some caravans, in terms of the performance of Tuosama Mountain, the effect of this surprise weapon is still very good.

Ashi said in my ear, "My husband, don't say you don't have money. Ashi has read the account book."

‘Well, isn’t this afraid that everyone can make money? People’s words are terrifying? His Highness Nobunaga is now in charge of the Three Kingdoms. His direct troops are only more than 3,000. Although he may recruit some in the future, it is only 5,000 at most. I only have one city now, and the 800 troops are not small for a general. Although he can recruit some in the future, it will definitely not exceed 1,500.’ Since Ashi has read the account book, it means that Oda Nobunaga has also read it, so it’s better to say it directly.

'My husband seems to have forgotten that he is now a member of the Oda family. I will leave these things to do. Oh, Ashi, I pulled Ashi into the water without saying anything. Although I was not serious, I still enjoyed the fun of playing with Ashi in the water, making the happy elf blush and peach blossoms.

At the Oda family's New Year's Annual Meeting, I was promoted to a general as I wish and announced the engagement with Princess Ashi. However, the news from two months ago did not cause any sensation. It was just that everyone knows that the Oda family has another family. Since the Oda family is a descendant of the Hiraki family, I can also use the name of Hirakudo Shinichi in the future.

After the annual meeting, Asichi and I met Oda Nobunaga and Madam Gui Die, who are now relatives. When Nobunaga was staying for us for dinner, he hinted at the dinner table that he would not get any profit immediately after taking Mikawa this year, but the military expenditure this year is indeed not small. In addition, the military expenditure is also large. In addition, the military training of soldiers is also a big expense, but the family is now in short supply. After all, it is just a word - borrowing money.

Fortunately, Ashi has mentioned the financial situation of the Oda family. Oda Nobunaga is usually the one who spends as much as possible. Besides, the Oda family has indeed expanded too quickly in the past two years and has not made a good foundation. I took out six cash bills of 10,000 yuan from the Whale House and handed them to Oda Nobunaga, "I would like to accept a little bit of my heart."

Oda Nobunaga's face suddenly turned cloudy and clear, smiling, "Are Kudo interested in the position of Mikawa Ai official? If you are interested, you can grant you the 50,000-stone territory of Yoshida Castle."

Yoshida Castle seems to be a little far away from the Mogu. And it is the border between Sanhe and Tori River. At that time, it is impossible to conflict with the little turtle. After thinking about it, I will forget it. ‘Your Highness, Kudo has just been promoted to general, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people to be in charge of the country. Lord Ninoha and Lord Shibata are both good candidates.’

Oda Nobunaga nodded, 'Actually I know, but Migoro and Katsuya are my right-hand men. I would be a little uncomfortable if I left them suddenly.

I knew you would say this for a long time. But I can't tell you my first recommended person immediately, 'That's it, Your Highness seems that he really lacks a general who can command one side with literature and martial arts. Mikawa is so far away, we are a guest army again, and the situation is different from Ohara. By the way, how about Lord Akichi Mitsuhide? He is both civil and military, and one hand has a bow and arrow, and one hand can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps. Besides, Lord Mitsuhide is also a member of His Highness. There is no problem with loyalty.' When I made this suggestion, Mrs. Noki looked a grateful look.

After careful consideration, Oda Nobunaga agreed to my proposal, "Yeah, okay. Then I'll send you a closer job. After Akichi Mitsuhide goes to Sanhe, Daheng Castle will be vacant. In this way, you will lead the fief of 23,000 stones of Daheng Castle and also serve as the lord of Daheng Castle."

‘Thank you.’

Oda Nobunaga shook it with his chopsticks, 'Don't be busy with thanks for it first. I think you know the location of Daheng City. It is located at Mino, Ohachi and the Hexaki family, Asai family and Kitada family. The relationship between these three families and their families is very tense, especially those monks from Kitada Akuta and Nagashima Castle. Don't lose Daheng City for me.'

‘Hi.’ I took on the mission very happily. Although Daheng City is a waste of money and enemies are everywhere, since Akichi Mitsuhide can defend it, I think I should be even more fine. The most important thing is that Daheng City is very close to Mogu City, only thirty miles away. You can reach it after a quick march for an hour.

As for these three enemies, I didn't take them seriously. First of all, the two families of Hexao and Asai are now incompatible. For the past few years, they should have targeted each other as their main target. Although their hatred was caused by me, there is only one Kita Kushu Sect left, but Ise claims to have a total of forty-eight forces in the small Warring States Period. To put it bluntly, forty-eight landlords of all sizes attacked each other. In some wars in Ise, there were only dozens of people against dozens of people. It is said that ninjutsu was born in such an extremely cruel environment.
