Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought that by giving his two-year-old son Ashikaga Yoshihiro as a hostage to the Oda family, this matter could be exposed-on the premise that the position of general was only moved by members of the Ashikaga family, this act had no meaning. It is different from sending his retreat to the hands of Oda Nobunaga.

If he dies, the Oda family can support his son as the next generation general who conquers barbarians.Before Ashikaga Yoshiaki had his next son, this was the biggest weakness he handed to the Oda family, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he gave his life to it.

But Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought he was sincere in his conditions, but was quickly rejected by the Oda family.In addition to making him thump the table with anger, what spread deeper was the fear of Oda Nobunaga that he had never picked up since Takeda Shingen went to Luo.

Even if he asks the emperor to mediate again, Oda Nobunaga is unwilling to maintain the superficial peace because he still has the military strength... Except for the position of "general who conquers barbarians", he has no bargaining chip to move Oda Nobunaga !

Especially the lobbyist of the Oda family is Fujitaka Hosokawa - how can he keep calm and deal with Fujitaka Hosokawa's sharp tongue!

He is no longer useful to the Oda family.It is even said that the "General Who Conquered Barbarians" is useless to the Oda family!

No matter how unwilling Ashikaga Yoshiaki was, this was so obvious that he could not ignore it, nor could he avoid it.

——In the end, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was chased and released from Kyoto.

...And because Saburo was defeated after the uprising, Oda Jiaming refused Ashikaga Yoshiaki to admit defeat on the grounds that "the army has not been released", so Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not bring much when he finally reached an agreement and was forced to leave Kyoto Soldier.However, on the way to Ruojiang City that he had planned, he encountered an attack by Yikui again due to unlucky luck. In order to escape, he had to give up many...

"—So, let's go back."

Saburo looked at the various swords and even guns lined up in front of him, and said very seriously.

"After all, we already know that the general lost it."

Yes, because Ashikaga Yoshiaki has few soldiers and he is not good at martial arts, so when he encounters Ikki, he has no power to fight back against the large number of people, so he can only leave the expensive sword that is not easy to carry Run, the few soldiers were originally assigned several swords, but in order to let Ashikaga Yoshiaki escape as soon as possible, they naturally wanted to stay in the rear, and finally all died in battle, and those swords naturally remained on the battlefield.

And Saburo didn't even think about putting people to death. When he heard about the tragedy that happened due to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's bad luck, he still sent someone to help.It's a pity that the transmission of news is too slow in this era. By the time the nearby Oda family soldiers arrived, the Yikui crowd had already dispersed, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki and others had also fled in a hurry, so they could only gather the remaining swords on the spot. , sent to Saburo.

"But sending it back now will only be considered by the general as a humiliation to him."

"can you"

"It will definitely." Akechi Mitsuhide stated with his head down. The swords placed in the yard were unsheathed because he wanted to observe the specific situation. They shone a dazzling light under the sunlight, which made him a little bit dizzy. "Because of the chaotic situation at that time, many swords must have been damaged. Sending them out rashly will only make the general more dissatisfied—but even if they are dissatisfied now, it doesn't matter."

"That's true. The general doesn't like the way I look. It's because I don't like it." Because the light reflected by the swords was too dazzling, Saburo could only take small steps to a farther place, squinting his eyes and continuing to look at the swords , "Then what should we do with these—there are so many."

"I picked up something, what do you think?"

"...Yeah, I got rich."

Realizing this, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Toshiro the bone lord standing beside him (today, Hasebe is compiled as one of Saburo's guards). Fusangshen), Matsunaga Hideo showed off to him that he sold the bone kudo Toshiro (sword) to Otomo's house and the transaction price was three thousand gold.

Almost without hesitation, Saburo said decisively to the soldiers next to him: "Everyone, let's find the swords that are still in good condition and sell them all!"

His words were so firm that Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly turned his head and looked at Saburo in disbelief. It took him a while to recover his voice: "...Your Highness. Those here are all treasures of the General's family."

Even if they may be damaged due to the chaotic battle situation before, as long as they are not irreparable, these famous knives can be regarded as priceless.

This is not only the beauty of craftsmanship or the wonder of the blade pattern, but in a way, these are already symbols of power and heritage.The reason why the Oda family has frequent crises these days is partly because the Oda family has indeed grown to a threatening level, and part of the reason is that the Oda family was originally a retainer of the Shiba family. After becoming the governor of the family, the weakness of the Oda family's weak foundation is almost known to everyone.

Swords can't really make up for the Oda family's weakness in this regard.But even if it is only a little bit of supplementary description, the foreseeable obstacles in the future will be much less.The rest of the daimyo may still not let go of their vigilance against the Oda family, but the powerful family is enough to become obedient under the network of relationships and power represented behind these swords.

Especially if these are handed down from the general's family.Most of the Yikui crowd were farmers, and the jewelry and money abandoned by Ashikaga Yoshiaki had already been picked up by them, but swords and swords could not be held by non-samurai.Since Saburo intends to seize the world, it means that these things have more value worthy of collection.

"But there are too many of them. And the next step is to get rid of Asakura and Asai in one go - because Hengxing and Xiaojiu have been nagging me for a while before training the wild samurai. Selling these is almost the same " Saburo said without any hesitation, "You have to choose the knife yourself to suit your heart!"

This reason is really very reasonable, and the only point worth complaining about is probably only the three words "I choose it myself"... It turns out that the root cause of all the knives that Saburo has sent out so far is that he didn't choose it himself!

"——Then at least please keep that gun." After thinking for a moment, Akechi Mitsuhide made a decision—for Saburo, who occasionally transcended the thinking of the Warring States Period, he could not say that he could completely keep up with it, but Saburo had already After making a decision, he will not refute it arrogantly. At most, he will put forward a suggestion that is in line with the current world situation based on Saburo's thoughts, "If I remember correctly, that gun should be given by His Majesty the Emperor. If It’s okay to lose it, but now that you have it, even if you don’t return it, it’s best not to let it wander outside.”

"Gun... oh, the holster of that gun is fluffy." Sanlang immediately raised a hand to cover his forehead, narrowed his eyes and looked at the gleaming white in the yard, and finally found out the reason from the length and the barrel of the gun. The gun that Guangxiu said, "Okay, just keep it."

——Fortunately, as long as the reasons are reasonable, Saburo will always accept these suggestions without any doubt.

This feeling of being trusted and recognized made Mitsuhide Akechi feel warm in his heart.It's just that he hadn't warmed up for a long time, when he heard Sanlang's voice full of interest: "After all, it's high enough - it won't be so troublesome to sweep the dust on the beams in the future."

Akechi Mitsuhide: "..."

Either way, it's good that the result is good.Don't go into it for reasons.

Except for the gun left by Saburo, the rest of the swords were quickly counted by the soldiers.Among the brought back swords, many were damaged due to improper use and the chaos at the scene. Only a few were barely usable—if they were intact, there was only one short knife, and the one with fluffy hair. Holster for the gun.

Because he had already decided to sell, Saburo was not interested in the remaining few swords, so he ordered the bone lord Toshiro to guard here, so that it would be convenient for Hori Hidemasa to find a merchant to estimate the price, and then called again in a very cool manner. lost the retainers.

——And after Saburo left.

"This vibrating dagger... always feels very familiar."

As a sword, he had been burned by fire, so after becoming Fusangshin, Toshiro lost most of his memory, leaving only sporadic impressions of many things.Facing the short knife that was only seven inches and two cents long, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere before, but it was difficult to recall it for a while.

Such a narrow but thick short knife is not only a rare type, but it can be judged from the sharpness and the opposite chestnut shape compared with ordinary swords that this is not an unknown knife. .Even Gukuu Toshiro always felt that the name of this knife had lingered on the tip of his tongue, and he could blurt it out at any time, but he still missed the goal.

He almost instinctively understood that this knife was "very important", but he couldn't really name it.

Gukuu Fujishiro couldn't help pressing the flat ground of the knife with his palm, the cool feeling of the metal was conveyed to his palm, beating like a pulse in his palm, and the cool touch instantly made him feel warm. illusion.

——The words that are very familiar and have to be said are probably similar to the feeling of "connected by blood".

If there is any sword that can be related to the blood of Toshiro Toshiro, the bone sword of the Awataguchi faction, it is a short sword that once appeared in the general's house...

"It's thick!!"

This sword is his younger brother, Atsuto Shiro! !

...If you don't pay attention, the judge will take Atsuto Shiro and sell him!

Well, Atsuto Shiro and Japan No.

I have a Japanese number, so Saburo has one too (wrong).I checked the information and found that the Japanese name was given to Ashikaga Yoshiaki by the emperor, and then it was in the hands of Oda Nobunaga, and then Hideyoshi.But I don't know exactly when it changed hands... Well, let's pretend it was this time.

Atsuto Shiro was really bought by merchants when the Muromachi Shogunate collapsed (1573).

Thanks to Zi Shihan for throwing mines!Thanks Mr. S for throwing mines!mwah!
