A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Oh! "Two soldiers in the world"!

Then, Kinoshita Hideyoshi looked indifferent, Kinoshita Hideyoshi looked indifferent, Oda Nobunaga looked indifferent, and Maeda Toshiie looked indifferent.

"This is the envoy of Ando Iga Mamoru." Tokichiro simply introduced without any further details.

"Raise your head." Nobunaga seemed to have thought of something and wanted to take a look at Takenaka Hanbei.

Takenaka Hanbei raised his head and looked at Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga stared and thought for a while, and then whispered to Maeda Toshiie. He seemed to have remembered something, but he seemed not sure.

"Have you ever participated in the Kanaguchi War?" Maeda Toshiie asked on behalf of Oda Nobunaga.

"Yes, I participated in the Kanaguchi Battle with my father." Takenaka Hanbei responded.

"That's it! Are you the samurai on the left who attacks Gonoku with a tachi?" Oda Nobunaga finally confirmed.

"That's right!" "Oh, that's quite courageous." Nobunaga was still very contemptuous of Erwuzi at the beginning, but now his attitude is better.

The second and fifth boys belong to the second and fifth boys, but as long as they are valuable, their status is different. Especially a young man with a little courage and courage can take advantage of it.

But that’s all!

Koheita quietly whispered to Tokichiro, which battle was the Battle of Kanakuchi. Tokichiro also gave a general outline in a light and fast manner, which was one of the outpost battles in which Oda Nobunaga failed due to continuous heavy rains, rising water levels, and muddy land, and was raided by Saito's army.

Koheita reacted immediately. Saito Ryuuki and Oda Nobunaga had fought for more than ten years, and this was the only time they won because of the weather.

Well, Shigemon Takenaka also wrote in his novel history book that his father Shigeharu Takenaka laid out a large "ambush from all sides" formation, which killed and injured the Owari soldiers and covered the river with floating corpses. Oda Nobunaga abandoned his helmet and armor and only escaped with his own body in the legendary battle.

Looking at it now, hahahahahaha, not only are they all just bragging, they are not even considered the main force in the battle. According to Tokichiro, Takenaka Hanbei led dozens of soldiers to attack Shibata Katsuie's headquarters and distracted Shibata's army.

Then it was gone!

As for the 16th Cavalry, they killed Saito Hida Mamoru and conquered Inaba Mountain. Sorry, haven't heard of it. Saito Ryuuki lived well in Inabayama. Not only was he never beaten away, even Ando Mamoru, who was cooperating with Takenaka Shimonbuki Hiri to send troops, was pinned down by Saito Ryuuki in the northern city and said harsh words. Dare not say another word.

Of course, now that Dongnong is lost, Zhongnong is shaken. Ando Mamoru, who was pinned down in the northern city, became more active. Then he sent his eldest son-in-law to negotiate the price.

Today's scene is also very dull. There is no back and forth between you and me, and there is no verbal confrontation. Ando Mamoru really just came to test the price. Although Nobunaga also hoped that Shino would defect quickly, he still had the expression on his face that if you don't defect, I will kill you myself. He was very domineering and would not let go at all.

Takenaka Hanbei just casually talked about it, at least he should be the first one to defect to him and get some seals. The eldest son will not be sent as a hostage. The younger son and son-in-law can be sent over. It is best to ensure the semi-independent status of the country.

The asking price is high, and the money is paid back on arrival.

I didn't see any clever arguments at all, and it was even more impossible to talk about Nobunaga's use of Mino Hankuni to recruit Takenaka Shigeharu.

After some testing between the two parties, Nobunaga waved his hand and let the guests see off. Even though the Takenaka family were two or three thousand Chinese, they were nothing in Nobunaga's eyes now. Now he has many ministers and generals under his command, but he is a small character.

…

"Tengjiro, where are the others?" Nobunaga was very disdainful of the Chinese people who had both ends of the spectrum, but he still cared about the other Sinon people.

"I think highly of myself, and I'm waiting for the price!" Fujikichiro rarely used such a literary sentence.

"Humph, if you don't hit their hands that hurt them, they don't know how powerful our Oda family is." Oda Nobunaga also had the same attitude.

Everyone respectfully sent Oda Nobunaga off to the backyard to rest, while Koheita and Tokichiro started talking.

"Tokichiro, you are unreasonable. You didn't notify me even if you got married." Koheita put his arms around Tokichiro's neck.

"What can I do? The snow in Shinano is so heavy. No one is willing to deliver the letter." Tokichiro was also laughing.

"That won't work. You won't be able to escape after just one drink. You have to punish yourself with three drinks first. Hahahaha."

"No problem, no problem, the grilled fish is enough!" Tokichiro agreed quickly.

When they arrived at Tokichiro's courtyard, several of his retainers were also there. In addition to Kinoshita Hidenaga who followed him, there were also Masakatsu Koroku and Tsubouchi Shoemon Nagayasu who came to seek refuge because of the construction of the Mogu City. They were originally Kawabizhou who were a combination of local tyrants and bandits, but now they have changed. Became a samurai.

There were also two young men, both of whom would become famous in the future. One was Yamauchi Kazutō and the other Nakamura Kazushi. To say that he is a samurai, it is better to say that he serves Tokichiro as an infantry leader slightly taller than Ashigaru. Everyone must know these two without the introduction of Koheita. These people are Kinoshita Hideyoshi's current team.

After everyone said hello, servants brought drinks and food. The only two things in Mogu were rice and fish, and no other good things. The only dish to go with the wine is pickled radish, but that's all you need if there's wine, which is freshly brewed from Mogu rice.

Among these big men, some don’t have wives yet, and those who do have wives are basically in Komaki Mountain, whether they are staying behind or being hostages. Anyway, there is not a single woman in the city, so how can we relieve our worries? Only Du Kang.

As soon as everyone was introduced, they all knew that brothers Heita Koheita and Koichiro Tokichiro were close friends from humble backgrounds. They had known each other since they were young infantrymen and had always been in contact with each other. He is a very loyal brother, the kind who worships his mother at home and is not avoided by his wife.

So the conversation started to open up. After a few cups of yellow soup, even dirty jokes came out.

"Tojiro, what do you think of this Hanbei? What's so special about him?"

Tokichiro and Koheita clinked glasses, holding a piece of radish in their mouths, chewing it very hard, and the juice splashed everywhere.

"Oh, his father, Takenaka Shigemoto, is still in Canada with a family fortune of more than 2,000 yuan. First, he sent such a small role to test him. Takenaka and his son only have such magnanimity."

"In my opinion, this Hanbei will most likely find a way to become an official of His Highness, and his father will continue to be a loyal minister of the Saito family. He made a lot of plans, but did not weigh his own weight." Tokichiro drank the wine in one gulp. The expression on his face was nothing more than that.

"Tojiro, if you manage to get this official to serve, then you will become the contact person of the Shinon people at home. When His Highness Owari restrains Shinon, the retainers of Minong will occupy a large part of the family. You If we can win over a group of people first, our speaking power at home will definitely increase a lot.”

Kodaira took a rest and saw that Tokichiro had some intention.

"Besides, this Hanbingwei is not without merit. At least he has some bravery. If he treats you well, the five hundred people in Mount Bodhi will be in the palm of your hand."

"Heita-chan, do you mean that I can help Hanbei become an official?"

"No, no, no, it's up to you to recruit this Hanbei Takenaka."
