Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

What he saw was far different from what he had imagined... the governor of the Oda family with a young appearance and a somewhat rough and sloppy sitting posture.

Saburo's appearance can't really be like a boy, but compared to his age, his appearance is really too young.It's just that along with the appearance that seems to be favored by time, he also has an aura as deep as the sea, which is definitely not something that young people can possess.Such a person is obviously a high-ranking person—but it is not the murderous and moody look that Kunitomo Tojiro had guessed before.

Iron cannon is not a popular weapon among samurai, firstly because it is expensive, and secondly because it is easier to use iron cannon to fight than bow and arrow, and it will give people the illusion of evasion.Even though the daimyos have realized the lethality of iron cannons in war and began to build iron cannons as one of the standards to measure each other's strength, the practice of close combat with swords and personal bravery has been prevalent since the Kamakura period. The strength shown in the process of achieving victory is the "mainstream" respected by most people.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Oda Nobunaga, who is willing to spend a lot of money to purchase iron cannons on a large scale and use them in wars several times, is a maverick.Coupled with the use of this weapon against civilians in the Battle of Long Island—as the maker, Kunitomo Tojiro naturally knew how lethal the iron cannon was, and Oda Nobunaga, who used the iron cannon several times, could not have known it.

Oda Nobunaga, who treats the enemy so cruelly and accepts new weapons...is he such a person?

Kunitomo Tojiro looked at Saburo's clear eyes like mirrors, and thought in a daze.

No, maybe it's just that people who look like innocent people do such evil things as a matter of course, which makes people fearful and disturbed, and even spread their notoriety far and wide.

He lowered his head again, not daring to keep looking at Saburo.But he didn't dare not answer Sanlang's previous question, so he could only respectfully say after pondering for a while: "I understand what Your Highness means—the craftsmen in Guoyou Village only work for you. Does this answer suit your wishes?"

Only a very rare part of the iron cannons currently sold in Japan were brought over by those missionaries.Most of the iron cannons were produced in the hands of three parties—Kuniyou Tojiro, Tachibana Masaburo, and Shibatsuji Kiyomataemon.One of the latter two was originally a craftsman in Sakai, and the other was willing to cooperate. As a result, the production of iron cannons was almost entirely in the hands of businessmen in Sakai.

Kunitomo Tojiro was ordered by the then general Ashikaga Yoshiki to try to build iron cannons in 1544, and he succeeded. However, Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't care about him, and he didn't have the energy to care about such a small person like him.The production of iron cannons brought a steady stream of wealth to the merchants in Sakai, and they could exchange financial resources for military guarantees. However, Kunitomo Tojiro, who also mastered the manufacturing technology of iron cannons, undoubtedly hindered the merchants in Sakai from monopolizing iron cannons. .

When Ashikaga Yoshiki was around, the two sides could live in peace, but after Ashikaga Yoshiki was killed, Kunitomo Tojiro was immediately suppressed by Sakai City.

Matasaburo Tachibana and Kiyomataemon Shibatsuji were able to improve the iron cannons with the support of merchants in Sakai. From the original style of mixing Portuguese iron cannons and Tanegashima iron cannons, they incorporated the firearm technology of the Ming Dynasty, and the manpower required for production was also very large. Sufficient, so the manufactured iron cannons have more advantages in the market-and Kunitomo Tojiro can only use people from Kunitomo Village, and it is difficult to improve and innovate existing technologies without sufficient financial support.

It wasn't until 1568 when Oda Nobunaga went to Luo, Ashikaga Yoshiki's younger brother Yoshiaki won the position of general, that Kunitomo Tojiro had a chance to breathe, but because Yoshiaki was not interested in this, Kunitomo Tojiro still failed to get a chance to come back.In the same year, Oda Nobunaga collected taxes from Sakai City but met with resistance, which caused the businessmen in Sakai City to focus on Oda Nobunaga, and also made Kunitomo Tojiro notice such a number one person—only the next year Sakai City sent Nobunaga to Nobunaga. Even if the relationship between the two is not necessarily friendly, it is enough for the businessman in Sakai City to set his sights on Kunitomo Tojiro again.

Kunitomo Tojiro was also quite hesitant about whether to join the Oda family at that time, and the series of wars that followed made him avoid it.

The relationship between Sakai City and Oda involves conflicts of political and economic interests. Even if Kunitomo Tojiro is the lord of Kunitomo Village, he may not be able to see clearly—if he had this ability, he would not have been suppressed by Sakai City once. .But now he already understands that with no power to rely on, he will still be a person who has no resistance in the face of suppression. If he does not want to feel the hardships of the past again, he must find a support object.Among the support he may seek, only the Oda family, who loves firearms and has a bad sense of Sakai City, is most likely to accept him.

This is the reason why Kunitomo Tojiro appeared here - it is not clear whether the businessman used Kunitomo Tojiro or Kunitomo Tojiro used the sword businessman, but they have reached a win-win situation... as long as Oda Nobunaga is willing Take Kunyou Tojiro.

Due to the requirements of raw materials and manufacturing techniques, the price of iron cannons will not be able to drop anytime soon.But since the Oda family wants to use iron cannons extensively, Kunitomo Tojiro is willing to become a dedicated craftsman for Oda, and produce iron cannons for Oda Nobunaga in an endless stream!

This means that even if other daimyos are willing to pay a higher price for the iron cannon in the future, Kunitomo Tojiro will not sell it again!

"That's the special offer—the special offer, right!"

Saburo understood in his own way, and gave a thumbs up to the middle-aged man who was still kneeling below.

"Nice! So be it! I will pay a reasonable price to buy the iron cannons produced by you - because I am about to fight Takeda, since I know that I will use iron cannons, it is more reassuring to buy more."

Kunitomo Tojiro frowned blankly at first because of the "Nice" that he didn't understand the meaning of at all before, but what Saburo said afterwards made him forget the word immediately, and even his slightly rigid and sad face became radiant stand up.

All he can rely on is the technology of making iron cannons, but as the lord of a village, it is impossible for him to be ignorant of common sense - information such as the imminent battle with Takeda cannot be easily leaked something

Will say this in front of him without any scruples, Oda Nobunaga... really accepted him!

He couldn't help admiring Oda Nobunaga's mind.

He didn't dare to release such news in front of a person he just met. Just judging whether the other party is sincere or not will probably exhaust his energy. Putting himself in the shoes of others, Oda Nobunaga's bold and unrestrained attitude is really rare. It's so shocking!

Even if it is the notorious "Sixth Heaven Demon King" - this man does have a submissive charm!

Kuniyou Tojiro's heart became hot, and he couldn't help but kowtowed to Saburo.The heart that was originally hesitant because of the other party's terrible reputation became very stable unknowingly.

...Just after he left, Saburo was inevitably questioned by Ranmaru.

"Your Highness! You, why did you say such an important thing to that person!" It was useless to assume the important task of guarding Saburo for the first time—fortunately, everything was safe, and Mori Ranmaru was busy after Kunitomo Tojiro left Handing Fudo Xingguang back to Saburo, "This is really... No, your decision cannot be wrong!"

The young child already has a certain degree of acuity, although it is impossible to know anything important, but when Takeda attacked Akechi Castle, he had already realized from the stormy atmosphere of the Oda family that Takeda would give the Oda family The threat posed—but it was of no use.For Saburo, whose father died in allegiance and for whom he also worked, Mori Ranmaru completely blindly trusted the judgment of the other party.

"Is it very important?" Saburo didn't feel that what he just said was something important, he scratched his hair in confusion, and replied, "Well - anyway, sooner or later, everyone knows that they will face off against Takeda."

"But you said you were going to use iron cannons or something... this is a tactical matter, right? What if that Mr. Kunitomo just came to spy on information, and then told Takeda..." Shocked by the picture he imagined, Mori shuddered. Ranmaru bit her lower lip, tried her best to restrain the trembling of her body, and said expectantly to Saburo, "Your Highness, Your Highness wants to take this opportunity to test and tell him false news!"

Saburo shook his hand nonchalantly: "No, I'm telling the truth."

"Alas!"

Mori Ranmaru was taken aback again as no surprise.He grabbed the corner of his clothes in distress, racking his brains to find a suitable reason for Saburo's actions.It took a long time for his almost twisted facial features to relax, and he looked at Saburo nervously.

"Then, could it be that His Highness has already contacted Mr. Guoyou and confirmed that he is trustworthy?"

Saburo resolutely denied Mori Ranmaru's naive guess here: "No, it's also the first time I see you."

Reliable guesses were rejected one after another, and it was too difficult for this child to ask Mori Ranmaru to come up with any reasonable guesses.At such a young age, he could already see that the handsome young man stared at the ground with his big eyes, and said in a dejected way after a while, "In short... In short, Your Highness is far-sighted! A villain has limited talents and cannot understand what you are doing... ...But! Since you are willing to tell Mr. Guoyou about such things, you must have your own plans! I don’t know what to do, but, as long as you tell me, I will do my best!"

"Oh! You worked hard, Ranmaru!" Saburo praised, "But let's forget it now-Ranmaru, who has the same body and appearance as a child, will always give me the feeling of employing child labor... Let's talk about it when you become an adult !"

Although he will also over-interpret Saburo's behavior, Mori Ranmaru is not as good at hiding his thoughts as his retainers. Even if his own guess is rejected, he still believes in Saburo's words-this kind of immature dependence and Regardless of whether trust is reliable or not, at least Mori Ranmaru's current determination is unshakable.

As Saburo, who was trusted by Mori Ranmaru but occasionally unreliable, he also liked the second son of Mori Kecheng.He doesn't have much experience as a father. Nobutada half relies on the teaching of Kaicho, and half develops freely into his current character. The rest of the children were originally Mitsuhide Akechi, and are still being taught by Mitsuhide Akechi... the only one The only person who has been personally taught (influenced) by Saburo is the strange woman Ashi who once married Asai Nagamasa and dared to catch snakes with bare hands.

It is conceivable that apart from lack of experience, Saburo also has no self-awareness as a father or other elders.His love for Mori Ranmaru is not so much a love for a young junior, but rather an equal placement of the other party in a position similar to "acquaintance" and "playmate". "People who are considered to be treated equally in consciousness" have also added elements of self and autocracy.

Incidentally, all the retainers of the Oda family, including Tokugawa Ieyasu, can apply this model—well, this may be why the Tokugawa family’s retainers always think that Saburo does not respect Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Today's Saburo, I am afraid that he has temporarily forgotten the fact that he is already 42 years old.

"I don't use the iron cannon by myself now—the mercenaries who besieged me with Miyoshi's family used it very skillfully in the past, so it doesn't matter if they say they want to use the iron cannon against Takeda." Probably It is really a happy thing to get the "exclusive supplier of iron cannon", Saburo said to Ranmaru casually, "I have used it many times anyway, Takeda should have known it a long time ago... Hey, don't tell me Is it because of this reason that the place of the battle is set at Nagashino? But the terrain there is not surprising, if you want to choose the terrain, it is more reliable to choose the time."

Facing Ranmaru's surprised gaze, he shrugged nonchalantly, and said, "Forget it. No matter what the reason is, it's all right that I will win—a long-lost step in history!"

You've come a long way in history Saburo :)

In Oda Nobunaga Chrysanthemum and the Sword, Kunitomo Tojiro was recommended to Nobunaga by Hideyoshi.Why I say this is because I found out that Kuniyu Village will be controlled by Hideyoshi in the future.

...You are always there, Hideyoshi.

And before everyone was interested in Qiqiwan, I will tell you here that Qiqiwan refers to Oda Nobutada.The origin of the name... Well, I will post the original text of Oda Nobunaga Chrysanthemum and Sword for everyone, which is like this: [When the eldest son came down, he thought the baby's face was very strange, so he named him Wonderful pills; because the second boy's hair was very thin when he came down, it was named Chajiwan; as for Sannan Sanqiwan, it was because he was born on March [-]th; this rash naming method is really unique! 】

Xinxiao (Sanqiwan): Oh.

Let’s be honest, Nobunaga(s), you guys are called useless

And when I was chatting in the reader group last time, I suddenly thought of an IF route 23333. I don’t intend to continue to write it, and I don’t intend to use it as a side story of this article. I will just show it to everyone in the chat.

——IF route: If Saburo and Xiaoguang hadn't met back then.

In the 11th year of Yonglu, this is Mitsuhide Akechi—no, this is the year when Nobunaga Maori was preparing to support Ashikaga Yoshiaki Shangluo.

At the age of 15, Oda Nobunaga tried to escape from Owari and went to Mino.His physical condition is really bad, and Oda Nobutomo of the main house has repeatedly hinted that his father Nobuhide will change Oda Nobuo as heir.Whether it is the foreseeable crisis or the immediate pressure, Oda Nobunaga is overwhelmed. For this reason, he even made a plan to give up the identity of "Oda Nobunaga".

In the end, he was stopped by his father in time.

Oda Nobuhide is also under tremendous pressure to establish a weak legitimate son as the heir.After this incident, the Oda family believed that Nobunaga was not suitable for inheriting the position of family governor. There were more and more retainers, and Oda Nobunaga's mother also stood aside for Nobunaga's delicate dilemma because of her preference for Nobunaga.But in the end, Oda Nobunaga still did not deprive Oda Nobunaga of his heir status. On the contrary, Oda Nobunaga had to give up the idea of ​​escaping under the strict admonition of his father. With a fragile body that is not suitable for living in troubled times, With difficulty, he led the Katsuhata Oda family down.

It has been nearly twenty years since he killed his brother Nobuyuki.

Occasionally, he would dream of a life completely different from his current self—a life where he would work for others as a vassal without the burden of the Oda family.Even though he didn't know who he was working for, the subtle sense of happiness and lightness stayed in his heart for a long time, but——

Now it is impossible for him to be inferior to others.

Because he is Oda Nobunaga.

I don't know since when, he has been possessed with the ambition of "taking over the world".When many talents joined him because of this ambition, and when he realized that the Oda family had nowhere to go unless they became stronger quickly, he could only acquiesce in the existence of this ambition and seek opportunities for development in an increasingly chaotic situation. .

It's almost as if he was destined to go this way.

"Thank you Nobunaga for your willingness to help."

Hosokawa Fujitaka's voice brought him back to consciousness.Oda Nobunaga raised his head and looked indifferently at this retainer of Ashikaga Yoshiaki—holding power in his hands for many years has given him a lot of prestige. Takashi Kawato must be cautious about the existence.

His gaze was really cold, which made Hosokawa Fujitaka, who had already negotiated the Shangluo matter and just confirmed it again, a little strange about the change in his attitude before and after.Mr. Hosokawa, whom the general relied heavily on, turned his head tentatively, and sure enough, he saw a guard standing behind him, who was wearing armor but behaved very rudely.

That's where Oda Nobunaga's real gaze falls.

"Putting such a person into the palace for guard, Mr. Hosokawa is belittling me?"

Oda Nobunaga asked calmly.

Hosokawa Fujitaka could naturally see the anger hidden under his calmness, so he could only lower his head, and confessed the embarrassment that he wanted to hide from Oda Nobunaga in order to prevent the other party from underestimating the general: "Please don't blame him. The general is really handy." Jian Bo, this bodyguard is my vassal, temporarily acting as a general's vassal to protect——Sanlang! Go outside!"

While saying this, he turned his head and shouted at the guard.

The familiar name he called out, which partly overlapped with his own, gave Oda Nobunaga an inexplicable subtle feeling, as if something had brushed his heart.

The governor of the Oda family raised his hand to stop Fujitaka Hosokawa, and motioned for the guard to come closer and take off his visor—the face in front of him was exactly the same as his, but full of sloppy and uninhibited faces.What is more noticeable than that face is the childlike brilliance that takes everything for granted in the other party's eyes like his.

Oda Nobunaga suddenly had the illusion that everything was back on track.

"Saburo——no. From now on, you don't want to be called by that name." The governor of the Oda family said to the guard, "You have to be called Akechi Mitsuhide."

he continued.

"Accept this name and become my vassal—is that okay, Mitsuhide?"

The man whose original name was Saburo looked at him in surprise, and after pondering for a moment, he answered simply: "Okay!"

So Oda Nobunaga laughed.

"Then it's decided like this—I'm going to Luoyang tomorrow." He said gently to Hosokawa Fujitaka, "I will take this retainer of mine back first."

------Finish.

Saburo is Hosokawa Fujitaka's retainer and then acts as a general's retainer. This stalk comes from the statement about Mitsuhide Akechi's origin in Kensaburo Akechi's "The Change of Honnoji Temple".It shows that Chimitsu Hide used to work under Hosokawa Fujitaka as a low-status "middleman" (the middleman who contacted Ashikaga and Xiaozhe), and then because of the extreme lack of talents in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's "shogunate" in the sixth year of Yonglu, in order to fill Staff vacancies became general retainers.The timeline has also been adjusted in this meme.
