Nobunaga is a witch

Oda Nobunaga raised the corner of his mouth when he heard the words. It was not a smile, but it had an unusual gesture. She fanned her palms and said, "Mr. Akechi Mitsuhide thinks highly of me, Oda Nobunaga. ---"

It seems that a gentleman and a dignified person speak so seriously, it is indeed very persuasive, and people can't help but believe it.

But it just looks convincing, but it won't work for Oda Nobunaga. She has said long ago that it is too rough to persuade people with momentum!

Originally, Oda Nobunaga actually didn't want to embarrass Akechi Mitsuhide this time, just like what she said to Takenaka Hanbei before, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, she wanted it.

It doesn't matter if it's just a little neat, reserved and so on, it doesn't apply to Oda Nobunaga.

It's just that Akechi Mitsuhide aroused her a little interest, so there was such a conversation.

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head cautiously when he heard the words, he looked at Oda Nobunaga sincerely and sincerely, with a kind of obvious enthusiasm, like a flame hidden under the gentle surface, "It's not because I think highly of Nobunaga-sama , but in fact, Nobunaga-sama can truly be called No.1 among the world's famous names. Therefore, I believe in Nobunaga-sama."

Akechi Mitsuhide had hoped too many times in various countries looking for the Ming Lord, but what he got was even more disappointment. He thought that after experiencing so much, no matter what happened, he would be calm and self-possessed. people.

Even if he and Hiyoshi had seen Oda Nobunaga's excellent and powerful side before, compared to Hiyoshi's treasure, Akechi Mitsuhide was only shaken for a moment.

But he was wrong. It's not that he can't be excited, but he hasn't really seen what Oda Nobunaga is.

This lord is such a person who can make people's blood boil again even if it has been frozen.

Oda Nobunaga did not expect that Akechi Mitsuhide would respect her so much, and he seemed so sincere, but only at this stage, there are not a few people who respect and admire her, so she just raised her eyebrows slightly, focusing on the key points Slightly different from others, "In fact?" What Akechi Mitsuhide said, in fact?

Akechi Mitsuhide had already prepared a draft, and now he was not at a loss when he heard Oda Nobunaga's inquiry, but he talked eloquently, "I have seen the Iron Cannon Team of Mr. The only iron cannon team that is admirable among the big names.” Confessing his own thoughts, Akechi Mitsuhide also had bright eyes, “I think that the iron cannons are infinitely powerful, although there are still many shortcomings, as if they cannot In the rain, it cannot be fired continuously, and the cost is also very expensive. But the use of iron cannons in large-scale combat is an inevitable historical development. As far as I know, the whole of Japan can see this and put it into practice You are the only one who takes action." Can't others see the sharpness of the iron cannon?Of course they can see it, but they are either unwilling to take this step, or they are more superstitious about swords, or they only see the shortcomings of iron cannons.Only Mr. Nobunaga, only he, boldly used the iron cannon in battle, and he was bold and bold, and won many battles.

Oda Nobunaga became interested when he heard such words, "Do you think iron cannons will replace swords?" She didn't care about the compliments, what she wanted to know was Akechi Mitsuhide's insight.

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded, then shook his head again, "The iron cannon is indeed a sharper weapon, but it is impossible to completely replace the sword. As I said just now, the iron cannon still has its limitations, but," Akechi Mitsuhide After a pause, he said again, "If you can assemble iron cannons on a large scale and replenish them with swords, it will be the key to victory in the war." As a traditional warrior, he rarely said something in such a decisive tone, but This matter was different, and he could state it in an affirmative tone.

Oda Nobunaga also nodded secretly when he heard it, and his eyes showed admiration. Akechi Mitsuhide's vision is not limited to large-scale assembly of iron cannons, he has even seen the synergy between iron cannons and swords, although it seems His understanding of this theory is not deep enough, but she is already the person she has seen in this era who has the most visionary thinking about infantry coordination. ---

To be honest, even after guns have become the protagonists of modern warfare, cold weapons are still the key to the obsession of many people and even play a winning role in close combat.

In other words, the coordination of infantry and artillery will be the most indispensable and important tactic in modern warfare.

Akechi Mitsuhide was able to see this, which was beyond Oda Nobunaga's expectations. You must know that even a smart person like Takenaka Banbei has a very good understanding of iron cannons and the coordinated operations of iron cannons and infantry. After arriving in Gifu, it slowly changed.

Seeing that Oda Nobunaga seemed to agree, Akechi Mitsuhide became more talkative, "If it was just the use of iron cannons, I might say that Mr. Nobunaga is a powerful daimyo, but the reason why I say you are a daimyo No.1 in the middle is still my opinion that changed after I came to Meinong.”

After hearing the words, Oda Nobunaga realized something after a while, "Is it because Mr. Akechi Mitsuhide saw something in Mino?"

Akechi Mitsuhide was a little surprised by Oda Nobunaga's quick response, but still nodded, "Yes, indeed, as you said, what I saw in Mino this time was beyond my imagination. Before, I I just heard about some reform measures Mr. Nobunaga implemented in Owari Mino and Japan, but I don’t know the effect of these reform measures,” Akechi Mitsuhide said honestly, a little embarrassment flashed on his upright face, he People who say that one is one are not good at covering up for themselves. Before coming to Mino, although he would not laugh at Oda Nobunaga's actions like others, he did not pay much attention to these actions. Nong, but the reality taught him a solid lesson, "Until I saw the changes in Meinong, some of these changes were subtle, some were rapid and violent, but no matter what kind of changes they were, they were towards It's going in a good direction."

After arriving in Mino, Akechi Mitsuhide was shocked by the huge changes brought about by Oda Nobunaga's internal reforms in the two countries. Unlike Asai Nagamasa, he only saw the prosperity of Gifu Castle Town. He traveled to more places and his vision was wider. It is extraordinary, seeing more aspects.

Therefore, despite the tight schedule, Akechi Mitsuhide still spent some time and energy exploring these reform strategies.

If it is said that he only had a rough understanding before, but after a deep understanding, he realized how beneficial these measures are to the country and the people.

"Although I still don't understand the deep meaning of Nobunaga-sama's reforms, just by looking at his encouragement to Nongsang and his care for farmers, I can know that Nobunaga-sama treats the people with kindness that is rare among all daimyos. "Akechi Mitsuhide said so.

He didn't talk nonsense. In this era, samurai fight endlessly and pay little attention to the people at the bottom. However, Oda Nobunaga's reforms paid great attention to these aspects.

Constructing water conservancy, encouraging farming, canceling checkpoints, even paving roads and building bridges, lightly paid and poorly paid, Akechi Mitsuhide has been stunned by the prosperity of Mino along the way.

What kind of courage, what kind of talent, and what kind of benevolent adult can do this for the bottom people under his rule.

Akechi Mitsuhide seems to be a modest gentleman, but he has traveled to so many places, seen so many famous people, and no one has made him determined to work, so it can be seen that he is still a bit arrogant.

But no matter how much arrogance, he has been subdued by Oda Nobunaga's chest in reality.

That's why he can sincerely say that Oda Nobunaga is No.1 among daimyos.

Hearing what Mitsuhide Akechi said, Hanbei Takenaka also nodded in praise and said, "Your lord values ​​the people under his rule very much." He didn't know until he arrived in Gifu that his lord's sentence "Only the people can't let you down" wasn't just about He just talked about it verbally, but he was really doing it step by step, "In Owari and Mino, whether farmers or others, life is much better than elsewhere."

So no matter how Oda Nobunaga is a playwright and a hooligan on weekdays, Takenaka Banbei still complains from the bottom of his heart, but his loyalty to her is getting stronger day by day.

He dared to say that looking at the whole world, only his master, Oda Nobunaga, could do this for the people at the bottom.

The world is peaceful, no, he has even done more, not just bringing peaceful days, but making people live better.

"That's right." Although Takenaka Hanbei was bragging about himself, Akechi Mitsuhide quite agreed, "That's why I said that Mr. Nobunaga can be called No. 1 in the world." Even if Akechi Mitsuhide knew Owari Mino After the country's reform, he didn't fully agree with all the practices of Oda Nobunaga, such as the emphasis on businessmen, but those were just minor details, which did not prevent him from admiring Oda Nobunaga.Akechi Mitsuhide felt that if such a person could support the general and maintain his loyalty to the imperial court, why would he worry about the world being injustice and the great cause not being prosperous.

"Haha." Oda Nobunaga laughed clearly, "Mr. Akechi Mitsuhide has spoken to such an extent, if I don't allow it, it seems that I will live up to this expectation." Many people can see her use of tactics, But there are very few people who can really realize that what she focuses on most is not those weapons, nor those tactics, but people's livelihood.They may know that she is strong, but they don't know why she is strong.Akechi Mitsuhide has already vaguely realized this, but this is such a person, but in another history, he betrayed the trust given by Oda Nobunaga, and set Nobunaga on fire.It's really interesting, isn't it?

Akechi Mitsuhide showed joy, "Then Nobunaga-sama intends to go to Luo with Ashikaga Yoshiaki-sama?"

It only took half a second for Oda Nobunaga to switch from a smile to a serious face, and she calmed down her lazy look. She sat up straight, and instantly a sense of awe-inspiring poured out, making people restrain involuntarily Concentrated, "Ashikaga Yoshiaki is the general orthodoxy, and it is what my generation of samurai should do to entrust the successor of the orthodox general to the capital. Naturally, Nobunaga is obliged to do so."

Hanbei Takenaka rolled his eyes indecently in his heart, and on the surface he still bowed to his master, the playwright, "Master is wise." He was not as good as Oda Nobunaga, who could immediately show a sighing expression, Use body language to help.

Although Akechi Mitsuhide was once again shocked by the speed of Oda Nobunaga's face-changing, but this day turned over and over again, inexplicably more resistance, so the next moment he recovered and kept up with the rhythm of the two, "Nobunaga Your lord is so righteous, you really deserve to be No.1 among daimyos."

Oda Nobunaga's performance has not yet passed, she showed a rather reserved smile, but looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, this guy looks refined and polite, honest and honest, and he turns out to be quite flattering.

Compared with the roughness of a monkey who only calls Dad, this kind of No. 1 flattery in the world will make people feel happy physically and mentally.

Knowledgeable, capable, and nice to speak, it's no wonder that he was able to skyrocket in just a few years, and he was valued by the other Oda Nobunaga.

Well, not to mention that Nobunaga, even she likes it very much.

"It's not too late." Akechi Mitsuhide is not procrastinating. In other words, he has waited too long and doesn't want to wait any longer. "I'll go back and report this to Ashikaga Yoshiaki-sama, please do it well Preparations to welcome Ashikaga Yoshiaki-sama."

Oda Nobunaga is naturally everything, "I understand." She will be ready.

Akechi Mitsuhide slightly raised his lips and smiled, he was a handsome man, but when he smiled like this, he was inexplicably more cute.

Just as he was about to say something, Akechi Mitsuhide thought of something again, so he showed hesitation, "It's just, Mr. Nobunaga..." How to say this, it's a bit nerve-wracking.

At that moment, Akechi Mitsuhide felt an emotion that could be called a sweet burden.

"Mr. Akechi Mitsuhide, what worries do you have?" Now that the matter has come to this point, Oda Nobunaga naturally does not want to make any mistakes.

Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a while, and chose a more euphemistic statement, "Master Ashikaga Yoshiaki was born in a shogun's family, and he values ​​etiquette a bit." It can be seen that this Nobunaga-sama is a little...unexpected.I can't imagine what it would be like if he reached out to Ashikaga Yoshiaki for a gift.

The picture is too beautiful to bear to look directly at.

"So at least before going to Luo," Akechi Mitsuhide said with some difficulty, "Master Nobunaga..."

Akechi Mitsuhide said it tactfully, but Oda Nobunaga and Takenaka Hanbei understood it, that is to say, no matter what kind of pheasant Ashikaga Yoshiaki is in private, on the surface he is still holding the airs of his general.

To entrust him to Beijing, at least on the surface, etiquette must be in place.

So please Oda Nobunaga, before he succeeds in Shangluo, even if he pretends, he should pretend to be in place.

After understanding Akechi Mitsuhide's words, Oda Nobunaga slightly curled his lips, "Please rest assured, after all, we are waiting for Ashikaga Yoshiaki-sama, and of course we will respect him." At least she will not reveal the slightest flaw until she succeeds in going to Luo .

Did Akechi Mitsuhide think that she could only turn her face like a book, with a volatile temper?Or are you afraid that she doesn't care about etiquette at all, and does as she pleases to a scary level?

Really underestimate the so-called actress, okay? She is obviously able to adjust to the best state according to different needs.

Besides, she is still young, really young, and has enough time and patience to do what is needed. She is not in a hurry, really not in a hurry.

Akechi Mitsuhide raised his head and met Kami Oda Nobunaga's eyes. The young daimyo who has two countries looks sincere and sincere, his eyes are clear and sincere, which makes people trust him involuntarily.

So Akechi Mitsuhide bowed deeply to Oda Nobunaga, "Hi, hi!"

That year, Ashikaga Yoshiaki arrived in Mino and was warmly received by Oda Nobunaga in Gifu City.

The author has something to say: Nobunaga: It's time for them to see the true nature of the so-called drama masters!

Thanks to the little angel Hongming for mine.

A little angel mentioned that there might be female city lords during the Warring States period. Yes, they not only had female city lords, but also female emperors.

However, female supremacy does not mean that women have the same inheritance rights as men, but mostly as a transition, or there is really no male heir.

For example, Ii Naotora mentioned by the little angel. Although she should be the heir of the family governor as the only heir, the heir of the Ii family is actually the husband chosen by her father for her. The so-called son-in-law and adopted son will inherit the family business.It's just that her ex-fiancé who had married another person passed away, and the position of family governor was vacant, and all her direct and collateral males were gone. Her ex-fiancé's son was still too young. In order not to cut off the Yijing family, She had just returned from secular life and inherited the position of family governor. As a transition, the real heir of the Ii family was the son of her ex-fiancé, who was later one of the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings, Ii Naomasa.

In fact, there is not only Naotora as the female city lord, but also Chiyo Tachibana. The situation is similar to this. If you are interested, you can check it out.It doesn't matter if you don't check, the two female city lords in the article will appear later~
