Hanbei Takenaka and Hideyoshi Hashiba are natural opponents.

He and Hashiba Hideyoshi have no military competition.A few years ago, when Saburo placed Takenaka Hanbei next to Hashiba Hideyoshi, the former governor of the Oda family simply felt that the two men were very complementary—from looks to height to force and so on.This frank mind is the result of the two people's restraint and mutual cooperation, so that until now, Hashiba Hideyoshi doubts that Saburo chose Takenaka Hanbei to take up the role of "supervisor". Did he have a flaw at that time, which caused Saburo to doubt him.

To be honest, Hanbei Takenaka is the No. 1 who has assumed the responsibility of Hashiba Hideyoshi's retainer. There are even ridiculous rumors that Hashiba Hideyoshi "visited the thatched cottage three times" and "invited Takenaka out of the mountain".Hashiba Hideyoshi went from being only a general to owning a territory, and then being entrusted with the important task of attacking the Sanyin Sanyang area, all of which were witnessed by Takenaka Hanbei.

Hashiba Hideyoshi, who is loyal outside and traitor inside, who always wants to wash away the humiliation of being deceived by Saburo when he was a ninja, and Takenaka Hanbei, who has a calm personality and is loyal to Saburo, and has never changed his allegiance even though he has been with Hideyoshi Hashiba for many years.These two people were at odds with each other from the very beginning, relying on Hashiba Hideyoshi's hypocrisy and submissiveness, and Takenaka Hanbei's usual taciturnity, they were able to maintain the illusion of harmonious coexistence.When necessary, Hanbei Takenaka can force Hideyoshi Hashiba to give in and share the benefits with Saburo—just like the batch of iron cannons used in the Battle of Nagashino; and Hideyoshi Takenaka will also use Hanbei Takenaka most of the time Wei's talent, send the latter away, and make it into a chess piece that can help him gain military exploits—just like this time, Hashiba Hideyoshi wants to make Takenaka Hanbei the striker of Kazuki Castle.

Of course, the ultimate beneficiary of this state of mutual benefit and mutual wariness is Saburo... Well, there is no doubt about this alone.

Years of contact is enough for Hanbei Takenaka to understand Hashiba Hideyoshi's character, not to mention that he is originally a very sensitive person.Before he could connect the Hashiba brothers with the ninjas, Hanbei Takenaka had always had a vague feeling that the thinking of these two people seemed to be different from ordinary people and even extraordinary generals, but his "Feeling" cannot be used as a basis for judgment, so he doubts and takes on what Hashiba Hideyoshi's retainers should do when he was still a direct minister of Saburo.

This unspeakable and inability to judge the real origin of the other party originally made Hanbei Takenaka continue to be confused and cautiously explore step by step, but—it was still the unexpected appearance of the swordsmen, which led to Hanbei Takenaka one step earlier. After judging the true identity of Brother Yushiba, he put the knife on his neck one step earlier.

Because the sword man received the letter in Mikazuki Zongjin, panicked (Mikazuki Zongjin was calm from beginning to end) and quietly told Hanbing Takenaka about the matter, he could conclude that this pair of brothers is really weird everywhere! !

Whether it is Hashiba Hideyoshi or Hashiba Hidecho, they are all people of low birth.Although it sounds a little pitiful, they really don't have room to pick and choose.Just like almost all of Asai's retainers were included in the bag after the demise of the Asai family, it was too difficult for Hashiba Hideyoshi to expand his network. Even with the help of Niwa Changhide in the later stage, Oda Nobunaga (Saburo ) of favor.With no family wealth and limited income from the territory, every military expenditure of Hideyoshi Hashiba must be spent wisely. Therefore, Hideyoshi Hashiba hastily focused on the "Koga Ninja", no doubt, there is an air of irrationality everywhere.

...Although he still doesn't know much about "ninjas", Hanbei Takenaka also knows that Hideyoshi Hashiba, who is not currently planning to reduce military spending on iron cannons, cannot afford the existence of "ninjas"—at least the "ninjas" of the Oda family Koga Ninja", Hashiba Hideyoshi is determined not to be able to afford it.

Daily food and clothing is a sum of money, plus the cost of forging swords and swords, and the cost of buying a large amount of jade whetstone charcoal... The swordsmen spend a lot of money, only the rich and powerful Oda Nobunaga (Saburo) can not feel the pressure, Take care of it with ease.Leaving aside Hashiba Hideyoshi's other talents, it is impossible for Hashiba Hideyoshi not to see that the charcoal and whetstones consumed by the Oda family were consumed by someone.

Incidentally, all the retainers of the Oda family thought that Saburo was obsessed with forging knives, but because of his limited talent, no results came out, and those Koga ninjas who were dubbed "swords" were after Saburo forged knives. Struggling to save waste products and transform them into hidden weapons suitable for ninjas, the best proof is that they take a lot of sword fragments (for food) every day!

... There is no need to worry about how much this guess deviates from the truth.In short, the continuous consumption of charcoal and whetstone by "Kaka Ninja" is the key point.Regardless of whether it is "saving the waste forged by the lord" or "eating swords because they are swords", the Koga ninja consumes these basic forging swords far more than Hashiba Hideyoshi can provide.

And if you just want a few ninjas, that doesn't fit Hashiba Hideyoshi's personality.Rao Hanbei Takenaka, who doesn't know much about ninjas, also knows that only a few ninjas have little effect at all—because daimyo or generals may be merciful to enemy samurai, but they don't have so many scruples about ninjas .Every action can be said to be walking on the blade, and the ninjas face a lot of dangers, so if the total number of people is small, it will be difficult to replenish - using one less ninja will not have any effect at all.

At present, he does not have the financial resources to raise ninjas, but he wants to get "Koka Ninjas" - this kind of arrogant and naive idea is really not like Hashiba Hideyoshi will have.If it hadn't been confirmed that the swordsman was actually an "inhuman" existence, Hanbei Takenaka would have wondered whether Hashiba Hideyoshi had the handle on Mikazuki Muneki.

At present, the only one who can barely act as a "ninja" to spy on the enemy's intelligence is Hashishi Hideyoshi's vassal, Masakatsu Hachisuka, who was originally just a local rogue.But Hanbei Takenaka has also been in contact with him, and understands that Hachisuka Masakatsu is actually just an ordinary person, and even the way of spying on information is just to bribe the idle young people nearby and get information from them-such a crude method will not It's what ninjas did.Moreover, Hachisuka Masakatsu can only be regarded as a temporary generation, and cannot replace "Ninja".

They want ninjas, but they don't take ninjas under their command, even if they are only low-level ninjas, they only think about "Koga ninjas".

If Hashiba Hideyoshi is really so smart, he wouldn't have grown to the point where Hanbei Takenaka would be afraid to shake him in just a few years! !

The most reasonable explanation that Hanbei Takenaka could come up with was that Hideyoshi Hashiba and Hidecho Hashiba were not willing to face real ninjas.

Since Hachisuka Masakatsu wanted to bribe the local youth, he naturally wanted to cast a wide net.Under this kind of action, Hashisuka Masakatsu has not never seen a real ninja. Even because of Hashiba Hideyoshi’s power, some ninjas expressed their willingness to take refuge after the destruction of their master’s house, but none of these people could see Hashiba. Hideyoshi.

Hashiba Hideyoshi's desire for "Koga Ninjas" is only out of admiration for their abilities, so in theory, these ninjas should not be rejected.Although Mikami Tsukimune is good, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who has rarely met the most beautiful of the five swordsmen in the world, will not be attracted to the level of "he has to be"... Hashiba Hideyoshi, in fact, is really a person who will not be moved by beauty people.

Is there any reason that Hashiba Hideyoshi, who is short of manpower, thirsty for talents, and looking forward to ninjas, actively refuses the surrender of ninjas?

In the Hashiba Army where there are no ninjas other than Mikazuki Zongjin and others, why are there ninjas moving and touching the blade of Mikazuki Munekin's body?

There was only one conclusion that Takenaka Hanbei could draw.

——Brother Hashiba is actually a ninja.

Because they are ninjas, they have to reject the ninja's surrender.At least when Hanbei Takenaka still existed and their every move could be reported to Saburo at any time, it was impossible for them to accept any ninjas, lest people discover the subtle similarities between their behavior and ninjas.It is precisely because they are ninjas that there are ninjas who act in cities where there are no ninjas, and they have not attracted the attention of the ashigaru.

——This incident is enough to shatter the loyal mask Hashiba Hideyoshi has put on for several years! !

Hashiba Hideyoshi's identity as "needle merchant Tokichiro Kinoshita" who was able to enter the Oda family is not false.In this era, there were as many merchants as there were crucian carp crossing the river, especially when the Oda family had just opened the customs office in the early years, the whole Owari was mixed with fish and dragons, and the transactions between countries were not frequent, but the population flow was very large.It is too difficult to trace the hometown and family background of an ordinary businessman, and then verify the identity of the other party.But the problem is that although that "Kinoshita Tokichiro" is just an ordinary needle seller, he himself is very clever, and was even hired by Matsushita Kahei for this reason.

Takenaka Hanbei is not strong enough to be able to surpass the status quo of no roster statistics and no geographical boundaries in this era to determine whether Hashiba Hideyoshi is the same person as "Kinoshita Tokichiro" back then.But he can be sure that there was indeed such a "Kinoshita Tokichiro" in the world, and he did go to Owari after leaving Kahei Matsushita.There are not many people with Miao characters (surnames) among the common people, so the probability of having the same name and surname is naturally even smaller.

Before guessing that Hashiba Hideyoshi is a ninja, this kind of information is just useless stuff-but, after knowing that Hashiba Hideyoshi is a ninja, he entered the Oda family under a false identity and worked for Oda Nobunaga. People go to doubt!

"You are also sure that there will be no 'ninjas'. After hearing the conversation between you and me, you will directly say 'time retrograde army'."

Hanbei Takenaka said affirmatively.

"Although Your Highness doesn't care whether to hide this name...but this name is too strange. Except for His Highness's occasional mention, neither you nor Mr. Wise seldom take the initiative to mention it. Speaking of which, and guessing your identities, you will confess to me that although it is surprising, it is not incomprehensible—”

"But."

"Already know that there are 'ninjas', but they are negligent, admitting my speculation and directly talking about the 'retrospective army'."

"You already know who the 'Ninja' are, and how many there are. Mikazuki Zongjin."

To Takenaka Hanbei's plain but sharp and irrefutable words, the handsome Tachi Fusangshin nodded solemnly and responded with a casual smile.

"Hahaha, there is no way, after all, he is also the one who held me."

"Although I'm getting older, I still have a little impression of some things... Well, this can be regarded as a little surprise from recalling the past."

Sanriyue: Looking back on the past, there are surprises everywhere.

Phase [-]:...

The first issue that was destroyed by fire showed an embarrassed but polite smile.

Although they were also burned, but unlike Gu Gu's amnesia, both the first phase and the cattail are remembered... But I think it's hard to say how much these two people remember.

Kahei Matsushita, from "The Story of Toyotomi Hideyoshi" by Ryoichi Suzuki.Before meeting Oda Nobunaga, Kinoshita Tokichiro was once the prisoner (servant) of Matsushita Kahei, and Matsushita Kahei loved him very much.In the end, there are several theories as to why Matsushita Kahei let Hideyoshi leave. Some say that Hideyoshi left without saying goodbye without paying for the carcass; Inconsistent, so Hideyoshi was let go... In short, there are various theories.However, when Hideyoshi sent troops to Kyushu in the future, he also told his subordinates that Kahei took special care of him at that time.

I've had a super heavy workload lately...while the workload has been increasing day by day, I've found my resistance to stress...it's pretty good.

I didn't feel happy, and even wanted to send a jpg to my friend saying "you're going to be a rich woman soon, I don't want to work hard anymore", but when I did that, my friend sent me two backs that also said "you're going to Become a rich woman, I don't want to work hard anymore" expression.
