What is the significance of Oda Nobunaga's establishment of Azuchi Castle

With the growth of the Oda family's territory, Gifu City has exposed its shortcomings of insufficient control.When Saburo's territory was only Owari Mino, Gifu was more than enough to serve as Saburo's residence.But after winning Echizen and Omi, and Akechi Mitsuhide also attacked Tanba, the military significance of Mino as the only way to Kyoto has been weakened. Instead, the short board of Gifu's distance from Kyoto has been exposed.Its geographical location is also east of the current Oda family, which is not conducive to controlling the current Oda territory.And Echigo's Uesugi Kenshin and Saburo's goals are completely different. Even if they temporarily formed an alliance because of Takeda, it is not known how long this fragile relationship can last.

Once the Uesugi Kenshin and Oda Alliance broke up, it would be difficult to restrain Uesugi in Hokuriku with the Oda family's model of using Gifu as the central city.Therefore, it is imperative to move the city from Gifu to other places, and it is only a matter of whether it will be sooner or later.

The location of "Antu" proposed by Saburo is also very well chosen.

Compared with Gifu, Azuchi's geographical location is more northward, which will help the Oda family strengthen their control over the Omi Echizen Kaga area, and it is also closer to Kyoto.Even if Niwa Chohide looked at the map again, he couldn't find another place that was as suitable for the current Oda as Azuchi.Compared with Gifu Castle, formerly known as Inabayama Castle, which is known to be tough and difficult to attack, the only thing that is slightly lacking in Azuchi is that there is no suitable castle there, and it needs to be built from scratch-but this kind of financial and human consumption is not enough. To make the Oda family worry.Once the city of Antu is built, the military and political significance it will bring will far exceed the cost of it, and it can be said to be profitable without loss.

So what is the significance of Saburo's proposal to build Azuchi Castle!Is it the same as above?

No.Saburo proposed to build a new city purely because he was determined to hand over the position of family governor to his nominal eldest son, and finally realized that he was a father, and his son could also be a person on his own, so he wanted to separate the family.

... No matter how powerless it is to put this truth on the generals of the Warring States Period, once it is applied to Saburo, it is very normal, right! !

Even though it has been more than 20 years since he became "Oda Nobunaga" and his actions are like that willful tyrant in history, Saburo still has not forgotten how Akechi Mitsuhide made "Oda Nobunaga" many years ago. "This identity was handed over to him together with Hasebe.

Since he became "Oda Nobunaga" at that time, and when he met Akechi Mitsuhide again, he also got the other party's entrustment to continue to achieve the great cause of "Oda Nobunaga", and now it is impossible to say "I don't want to be Nobunaga" A class of words.It's just that although he has been striving towards the world, sometimes he still maintains a state of being quite unconscious, as if he is divorced from this era.In many matters related to the Oda family—such as the heir, he also unconsciously pays more attention to Akechi Mitsuhide’s opinions. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has given the other party a lot of room to intervene in this regard.

This is part of the reason for choosing Xinzhong instead of Xinxiao.Leaving Gifu to Nobutada, and wanting to build a new city in Azuchi, also has the influence of this.

Niwa Chohide—it should be said that most of the retainers who are still in Gifu at present expressed their incomprehension when Saburo chose to step down from the position of family governor during this period of time.But they had no words to refute the idea of ​​building a city in Antu.With Saburo's completely invisible behavior pattern, they couldn't even guess whether Saburo chose to build a city there because he saw through the value of Azuchi, or just chose this place on a whim.

There are quite a few veterans of the Oda family, but there are not many who can speak to Saburo and are likely to be accepted.Shibata Katsuya is still in Echizen, Akechi Mitsuhide is also in Tamba, Hashiba Hideyoshi stays in Omi, and the only general of the Oda family's four armies is Niwa Chohide who happens to be in Gifu, and with his own power, it is impossible to persuade the general "Azuchi" Saburo who was tied up with "building the city" and "replacement of the governor".

Coupled with Saburo's high mobility...

Before the news that Saburo wanted to step down as governor of the family on a whim reached Akechi Mitsuhide and others, Nobutada had successfully inherited the position of governor of the Oda family.

...If Akechi Mitsuhide knew about this, he must have a pretty expression on his face.

Without the help of the sword man, Saburo was simply giving Akechi Mitsuhide a vivid lesson on "how important is the speed of information transmission" by relying on manpower to transmit information.

What's worse is that no matter whether Akechi Mitsuhide is innocent or not, Niwa Chohide really regards him as the mastermind behind the scenes! !

Although Saburo's actions are always unconstrained, making it difficult for people to keep up with his thinking, but his actions are not without warning.Let the soldiers rest first, and I will seize the time to accumulate energy, most of them are preparing for a surprise attack; wearing light clothes and taking the butterfly to the stables is planning to go on a "date"; there is no political affairs, and stepping into the courtyard is to climb a tree... Even Niwa Nagahide, who became an official Oda Nobunaga when he was 15 years old, could hardly understand Saburo's strange behavior because of his cautious nature. At most, he got used to Saburo's weird behavior with the passage of time.

In the same way, even if Niwa Chohide couldn't understand Saburo, he was the one who had worked beside Saburo for more than 20 years. Even if he couldn't figure out Saburo's behavior rules, it was impossible for him to not understand at all—but this time, Saburo It was real, without any warning, and he proposed the idea of ​​handing over the Oda family to Nobutada.

If there is no one behind the scenes to instigate, no matter how willful Saburo is, it is impossible for him to think about the future of the Oda family when he was only in his forties, and he appointed the family governor so quickly, and there is no room for regret in the future Do not stay!

The No.1 among the Oda family's retainers is Shibata Katsuie.However, Shibata Katsuya himself is over fifty years old and still fighting, and is still the head of Shibata's family. It is impossible to make such a suggestion to Saburo.Hashiba Hideyoshi is cautious and small, and it is impossible for him to give such advice in a daze when several of the highnesses of the Oda family have not fully grown up and are still young.From the very beginning when Saburo said his abdication, Niwa Chohide had suspected that Akechi Mitsuhide was the secret pusher.

It's just that he is similar to Akechi Mitsuhide, even if he has deep fear and vigilance against people who may harm Saburo, he will not act rashly until he gets tangible evidence.So after receiving Saburo's casual sentence "Xiaoguang also said to quickly decide on the heir", Niwa Chohide did not immediately get angry-in all fairness, there is nothing wrong with this sentence itself.

Even though Saburo is not considered old in his forties, he is not considered young either. Sooner or later, the issue of heirs needs to be considered.Akechi Mitsuhide was also busy attacking Tanba, theoretically speaking, he didn't have so much thought to come to interfere with Gifu - then Niwa Nagahide immediately went to investigate the people who had recently entered Gifu Castle. Mitsuhide Akechi also sent people here during this period of time as a merchant and farmer!

The last battle report from Tanba was when Mitsuhide Akechi broke Heijing Castle in October.Afterwards, the battle situation was tense, and Mitsuhide Akechi failed to make much progress, and it was impossible for the battle reports to come to Gifu frequently.As a good hand in internal affairs, coupled with his close connection with Saburo (he worked for Saburo early and married Nobunaga's adopted daughter), it is naturally impossible for these battle reports to pass through the hands of Niwa Changhide.But now, Akechi Mitsuhide sent people to Gifu City, but no battle report reached him at the same time, which shows that these people didn't come here to pass on Tanba's news at all! !

Ashigaru under Mitsuhide Akechi who didn't come here to deliver the battle report, and Saburo suddenly proposed the idea of ​​letting Nobutada inherit the Oda family.

The logic before and after this is very smooth, there is nothing wrong with it! !

In fact, Mitsuhide Akechi, who sent someone to find out because of the appearance of the Touken Man at the tea party out of concern about his true identity (Fu Sangshen), if he knew what Niwa Nagahide was thinking, he would be so logically related to him. The truth is diametrically opposed, so there must be some dumbfounding.

However, with Niwa Nagahide's introversion, he will not reveal his thoughts to Akechi Mitsuhide-this Ma Oda Nobunaga is destined to carry Niwa Nagahide's misunderstanding on this matter.

Once again (relying on his own unilateral conjecture) he felt Saburo's extraordinary trust in Akechi Mitsuhide. While Niwa Nagahide felt that Akechi Mitsuhide was really not reassuring, at the same time he knew clearly that Saburo's trust in Akechi was based on what he saw now. Guangxiu's trustworthiness cannot be changed by just a few words of persuasion.

In the end, Saburo handed over the position of family governor to Oda Nobutada on November 28.

...No matter which retainer it was, they were all dazed and uneasy because of Saburo's miraculous action, and even the atmosphere that was relaxed because of the arrival of the New Year also lost a bit of joy.Shibata Katsuya, who started to build power in Echizen, and Hashiba Hideyoshi, who did not intend to choose among Oda Nobunaga's heirs at the beginning, are fine. Akechi Mitsuhide is really surprised by this completely unexpected development , directly led to the defeat on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and returned to Omi Sakamoto Castle.

No, the defeat is not entirely due to Saburo.The power of Danba Kingdom has always maintained a delicate balance. Although there are no outstanding powerful forces in the country, they have always been closely connected with each other.Except when he first captured Heijing City, Akechi Mitsuhide was completely unable to use any quick and effective means to separate them from Tanba. My side.Therefore, after the Hatano brothers suddenly defected to Akechi Mitsuhide's opposing side, the forces that had been persuaded by Akechi Mitsuhide were all in turmoil, so that he had to choose to retreat first.

This can only be regarded as victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs—no, even this is not counted, it can only be regarded as the coming and going before the final victory is reached.

But Akechi Mitsuhide did not continue to march towards Tanba after returning to Sakamoto Castle, but chose the timing when the Hatano brothers did not dare to act rashly and attacked Sakamoto Castle and ran back to Gifu. This has something to do with Saburo! !

"—Why, do you want His Highness Nobutada to succeed you at this time?"

When Mitsuhide Akechi, who was busy in the world, faced Saburo, he asked the same words as Nagahide Niwa.

Saburo: "Hey, it was clearly proposed by Xiao Guang."

Akechi Mitsuhide: "...Me? When did I give you such...bad advice"

Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful, Xiaoguang.

The list is complete!No update tomorrow!

I have been interviewing for several days recently, and I want to give my brain a rest.

The next chapter will tell you why Saburo resigned as the family governor at this time.

That's right, this article is actually updated with the list.
