Chapter 197
The person Saburo is going to meet is Kunitomo Tojiro.
The matter dates back to before the Battle of Nagashima. The swordsmen of the Oda family finally developed a new way of seeing people for themselves (proposed by Tsurumaru Kuninaga), so they wore big robes and Nomasks that could cover the whole person. The two swordsmen-Shuzhumaru and Fudoxingguang just went to take away the sword made by Mitsutada, which was full of five strikes, which Saburo was thinking of (none of the five strikes, Mitsutada, was summoned to call out the swordsman).And the businessman who not only sold Mitsutada but also presented "Tsurumaru Kuninaga" to Saburo was directly terrified by these terrifying "Koka ninjas", and was afraid of his unrealistic ambitions (belonging to the samurai class) ) felt uneasy, so he finally persuaded Kunitomo Tojiro and recommended this person to Saburo.
As for why we met just on the occasion of the New Year... This is probably because the Oda family almost came out in full force during the Battle of Long Island. After returning, they must reassign tasks to the generals. Kenshin Uesugi’s threatening behavior cannot be ignored. The work of roads and bridges also made the retainers who were still assigned by Saburo in Gifu City busy, so that Saburo, the governor of the family, spent a lot of time every day just listening to the reports of the retainers.In the rest of the free time, because Saburo's power became bigger and bigger after taking down Long Island, and his ruthless style also made people feel frightened. For a while, many people rushed to flatter him. People, really can't be ranked.
On the contrary, when the new year was approaching, because Saburo was already impatient with their request to meet, and they had heard that Saburo made the skulls of his enemies into wine glasses for drinking last year, naturally not many people would bother Saburo at this time.The retainers also separated from Saburo because of October, and now most of them are on guard outside, so not many people came here specially to pay New Year's greetings.
To accept the task of other people's New Year's greetings, Saburo naturally handed it over to Akechi Mitsuhide after forging a knife in the morning.With the notoriety spread as a deterrent, and Mitsuhide Akechi being a conscientious person, he met all those who were scheduled to pay New Year's greetings today in one morning, and Kunitomo Tojiro, who was recommended by the businessman, finally had a chance to meet Saburo.
With the expansion of power, the differences brought about by class have become more and more obvious in the Oda family.
Because Saburo didn't care about his status, Kunitomo Tojiro was able to get the chance to meet Saburo after waiting for many days, and he was finally able to walk into Oda's house and really kneel before Saburo, not because of the sword sold by the merchant who recommended him. It is because he has the technology of casting iron cannons, and Saburo happens to have an extraordinary interest in iron cannons.
And once the person who recommends Kunitomo Tojiro changes from a businessman to Akechi Mitsuhide or Hashiba Hideyoshi, he must be able to get an interview immediately.But no matter who these two are, they are currently busy, and there is no way to pay attention to this little person for the time being... Anyway, Kunitomo Tojiro knelt in front of Saburo, and was received by the governor of the Oda family.
"You are the state... Oh, the state is right!"
"I'm Kunitomo Tojiro." Knowing that his name is not qualified to be remembered by superiors, Kunitomo Tojiro was not annoyed by Saburo's wrong address, and still lowered his head, expressing respect for Saburo, calmly He replied, "I used to cast iron cannons for the general and succeeded."
"Ashikaga Yoshiaki? He doesn't seem to be the type to like this kind of thing."
Although the number of times he met Yoshiaki Ashikaga was not many, and he was often considered a threat by the other party, Saburo also knew Yoshiaki Ashikaga-only a little bit.Probably because he was born in a temple, this general who has been exiled from Kyoto has very old-fashioned and sometimes naive ideas. Whether it is iron cannon or Catholicism, in the general's opinion, it is unacceptable to foreign people. things.
Holding his cheek with one hand and thinking for a while, Saburo finally dug out a vague shadow from his mind.
"Oh, it's Ashikaga Yoshiki, is it General Yoshiki?"
"That's right." Kunitomo Tojiro showed a somewhat reserved smile for this.He still lowered his head, and this smile was not seen by Saburo, which made his attitude a little inappropriately cold in the eyes of others.
"Then what do you want to do to sell me iron cannons?" Sanlang asked naturally, "I already have a lot of iron cannons, and I'm busy building roads recently, so I can only buy a few hundred."
"Your Highness." After hearing this, Mori Ranmaru quickly gestured to the side and reminded in a low voice, "A few hundred is already a lot!"
Yes, Akechi Mitsuhide did not plan to meet Kunitomo Tojiro with Saburo—he was focusing on road construction at this time, so he said goodbye to Saburo soon.When Kunitomo Tojiro was allowed to meet Saburo, it was none other than Mori Ranmaru who was with the governor of the Oda family.
... Mori Ranmaru, who was only ten years old, almost stopped beating.
Hori Hidemasa is still looking for a doctor and has not returned yet.Theoretically speaking, the surname does have the duty of guarding the sword when the daimyo meets visitors, but in fact, Mori Ranmaru has not inherited the same strong physique as his father and brother, and even his appearance is close to the beauty of a girl. They are still doing basic tasks such as cleaning, and have not been trained in swordsmanship.
According to Akechi Mitsuhide (in the capacity of Oda Nobunaga), he obediently went to tidy up the Japanese room, wiped off the oil stains left by the miscellaneous cooking, put the bowls in an orderly manner and sent them to the kitchen, and then conveyed them to The main character of the kitchen (Mitsuhide Akechi) commented on this miscellaneous cooking.After doing all this, Mori Ranmaru felt that the lord had entrusted him with such an important task just to convey this order. By coincidence, he walked back along the way when he came, and then was seen by Saburo and gave him a greater responsibility. Responsibility——
That is to stand by the side with a knife and accompany the visitor... that is, to meet Kunitomo Tojiro.
...to be honest, this is really not a joke
So far, I have not realized the meaning of the many rules of the Warring States Period. I simply accepted the setting of "people who are not retainers must be accompanied by someone." Saburo quite naturally brought the passing Mori Ranmaru into the After leaving the Japanese-style room, he took out the Yishin sword and asked Mori Ranmaru to carry it with him, and then let Kunitomo Tojiro come in—this kind of decisive and open style is really worthy of being the governor of the Oda family.
Coincidentally, because of Akechi Mitsuhide's cautious personality, when he changed his identity with Saburo and became "Oda Nobunaga", he also prepared the short sword "Fudo Yukimitsu" for body protection and wore it.When the two changed their clothes back, the vibrating dagger was naturally by Saburo's side, and it was handed over to Mori Ranmaru——
It can be said that I have a close relationship with Fudo Yukimitsu, Ranmaru.
It's a pity that this kind of fate is completely useless at this time. Even if Mori Ranmaru, who was originally very low in combat effectiveness, took the sword, he might not be able to play the role of the sword to repel the enemy, let alone what he got. Ordinary fighting swords, but short swords that can only be used in close combat situations at the last critical moment... Is this really all right?
Not to mention close combat, Mori Ranmaru, who can be knocked down by his elder brother in an instant even in "close quarters", is guarding Saburo with this vibrating dagger. It can be said that it is really just a display.
"A lot of it doesn't matter, the more iron cannons the better." After being reminded by Mori Ranmaru, Saburo didn't intend to take back what he just said, and said as a matter of course, "After all, I remember that iron cannons are the key to victory!"
Received this kind of praise, even if it wasn't for the iron cannon he made, Kunitomo Tojiro couldn't help but feel hot!
Immediately afterwards, Saburo said: "Although I have forgotten when the battle was!"
... Less than a quarter of an hour after meeting Kunitomo Tojiro, Saburo let himself go and told the truth.
He has long heard that this governor of the Oda family is different from ordinary people. Although Kunitomo Tojiro was surprised, it was not unacceptable. After all, in his peripheral vision, the beautiful young surname (Mori Ranmaru) ) did not dissuade Saburo's weird words and deeds (Mori Ranmaru was also very at a loss) - thinking about saying such a thing, Oda Nobunaga should have his own plans in mind, but he just doesn't bother to explain it to people like him
After all, he is not a retainer of the Oda family, and today is the first time he meets Oda Nobunaga, even with the help of a businessman.
Kunitomo Tojiro, who had been relieved a little because of Saburo's love for iron guns, raised his heart again.He bowed his head deeply, and calmly, respectfully and somewhat fearfully explained his intentions to Saburo: "I am not interested in doing iron cannon business with His Highness—Guoyou Village is indeed producing iron cannons, and even the iron cannons held by His Highness Most of the iron cannons are also made by us. But today, my intention for coming is not the same."
He took a deep breath.
His words were not interrupted by Saburo, which made him feel more uneasy while relaxing a bit.No longer trying to be a joke, he directly said to Saburo sincerely: "I, no, it's us... I want to serve your Oda family."
"...Eh..." Hearing the unexpected words, Saburo blinked and replied, "Serve me... Then, what can you tell me?"
In the eyes of Kunitomo Tojiro, this is like knowing the truth.
He didn't think that the governor of the Oda family would not have such a vision, and he only regarded it as Oda Nobunaga's test of himself.In an instant, the huge man breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt the sweat that he couldn't notice due to nervousness again. He immediately raised his sleeve to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and raised his head for the first time to look directly at him. The governor of the Oda family.
In fact, it was updated before zero o'clock - I will make up the list of mines.
