As soon as Oda Nobunaga said this, the atmosphere in the evaluation room suddenly became tense. Everyone turned their attention to Oda Nobutada, and Oda Nobutada also hesitated and didn't know how to answer the question.

"What? As Yu's son? As the future governor of the Oda family, don't you have the confidence to connect the five countries?" Oda Nobunaga saw Oda Nobutada's hesitant expression and was obviously unhappy.

"Father..." Oda Nobutada saw that Oda Nobunaga meant what he said, so he had to explain reluctantly, "That's not the case... No matter how difficult the challenge is, as long as it is for the Oda family, I will not be afraid. It's just this.

Kantō has been the foundation of the samurai family since ancient times. If we don’t control Kantō, wouldn’t we have to repeat the mistakes of the Muromachi shogunate? For such an important area, perhaps it would be better to hand it over to my father’s direct jurisdiction?”

"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows when he heard this, suddenly stood up, walked quickly to Oda Nobutada, leaned down and stared at his face and said, "You mean, if you are blocked

Will Kanto be like the Muromachi shogunate's Kanto official and oppose the central government?"

"Father, please atone for your sins. I have no intention of doing so!" Oda Nobutada was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed in apology.

"My lord, I am sincere to you. My lord, please don't blame me wrongly." Niwa Nagahide saw the tense atmosphere and immediately stood up to persuade him, "If my lord really has this intention, he will just accept the order. How can he do it?"

Point out the reason? The young master would say this just because he has a clear conscience."

"Since you have a clear conscience, why don't you dare to accept it? If you are asked to sit here in Kanto, you can just sit there." Oda Nobunaga glared at Oda Nobutada angrily, and pinched his shoulder hard several times with his hand.

, "The territory of Japan is so long and narrow that one of Kanto and Kinki must be lost. On one side is the foundation of the samurai family, and on the other side is the seat of the imperial court and a land of wealth and food. What can you do? The Kamakura shogunate took the foundation of the samurai family, and the emperor was finally overthrown.

Overturned. The Muromachi shogunate took the imperial court and wealth, and finally exhausted its luck in the constant confrontation with the Kanto government. What can you do? Unless you move the imperial family to Kanto, and then spend another 100 years to destroy the Kanto government.

If the population and wealth are greater than Kinki, Japan will never be at peace. Do you think this is possible?"

"Maybe it's really possible." After listening to Oda Nobunaga's speech that almost predicted the future, Yu Qiuping couldn't help but muttered.

"Even if it were possible, I don't have time." Oda Nobunaga rolled his eyes at Yu Qiupei again, then turned back and continued to glare at Oda Nobutada, "Japan has been pacified, do you think it's over? Do you think the war is over?

Is it over? It's still very early. There is Korea on the other side of the sea, and there is the Ming Dynasty on the other side of Korea. There is such a vast land on the other side of the Ming Dynasty. There is Europe to the west, and there is the New World to the west. Then there is

It’s Yu’s ambition! Do you think Yu still has time to run Japan for tens or hundreds of years?”

Oda Nobunaga's words calmed the ministers present, and his ambition, which was so ambitious that it was almost a dream, impacted everyone's nerves. Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide and others seemed to have returned to the Owari era for a while, following them

The lord who always runs in front and runs the fastest, no matter how hard he tries, can't catch up and can only watch his back.

In Owari, it was an elusive difficulty for them to unify Owari, let alone swallow them.

Shimo Mino became the overlord of the party - but Oda Nobunaga was already talking about Mino every day when there was still a quarter of Owari. Later, Oda Nobunaga even held a celebration party after capturing Inabayama Castle.

He didn't even remember to open it, so he once again set his sights on "distributing military force all over the world", to go to Luo, and to dominate the world - this was something that those retainers who were still immersed in the joy of conquering Meinong couldn't react to. It wasn't until more than ten years later.

Today, when the world of the Oda family comes true step by step, the retainers can't help but sigh with emotion about Oda Nobunaga's ideal back then - but Oda Nobunaga now has his sights set on the whole world.

Is it possible to use a small Japan to unify the world? No one would say "yes".

Is it possible to unify Japan with the small Owari half country? No one would say "yes", but Oda Nobunaga has done it, and now he will continue to do it.

There are always people who question Oda Nobunaga's talent and that he relied on a succession of good luck to achieve what he has achieved today. But even if Oda Nobunaga is not the best in military strategy, political strategy, and intellectual strategy, he has always been

The person who sets his sights farthest - he keeps looking at the distant horizon, and this is the most amazing talent. The so-called fortune is prepared for those who have dreams.

"It's just my lord, it is too dangerous to separate Kinki and Kanto. In case of confrontation..." Niwa Nagahide reminisced about the past, and finally played the role he inherited from Hirate Masahide and Hayashi Xiuzhen, for Na who has always been at the forefront.

Oda Nobunaga in front of him stepped on the brakes. But this time, Oda Nobunaga did not intend to listen to his opinion, and he casually came up with a solution - or an excuse to stave off his objections.

"It's okay, don't worry about any confrontation. When Yu goes overseas, Yu will officially give up the family governor to Qijiamaru, let him come to Azuchi City to take over the throne, and then let his son San Mage come to Kanto to take over. That's how it will be from now on, Young Master

The Lord sent him to Kanto for training, and then came to Azuchi Castle to take over." Oda Nobunaga came up with a solution as soon as he patted his head, and then said proudly, "This way you don't have to worry about the conflict between Kanto and Kinki. Anyway, it's always the case.

Someone needs to stay in Guandong, can I find someone more worthy of my trust than my own son?"

Oda Nobunaga's words made the retainers who originally wanted to continue to remonstrate not knowing what to say. Although this system was still full of loopholes, there was no more suitable method for a while.

"Stop talking nonsense here." Oda Nobunaga glanced around at the stunned retainers, then laughed and stood up, turned around and walked towards the door. He only said one sentence, "Hurry up, Yu

I’m going to Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, so hurry up and follow me.”

·

With their respective attendants, they galloped on the road to Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, but the retainers of the Oda family were all confused. Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine is one of the three major Hachimangu Shrines in Japan, and the main enshrinement god is the Hachiman Goddess.

, has long been regarded as the center of faith for the patron saint of the samurai family, and is also a symbol of the once glorious Kamakura shogunate. It was built in the Heian period for Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, who returned from the victory of pacifying Oshu, and stayed in Kamakura during his reign.

, the Hachiman God became the patron saint of the Genji, and was worshiped by warriors all over the world in the past. When Uesugi Kenshin led the Kanto coalition forces to besiege the Hojo clan, it was here that he officially inherited the position of governor of the Kanto region.

"My lord suddenly ran to Tsuruoka Hachiman

What is the palace going to do?" Maeda Toshiie glanced at the horse hoof dust raised a few miles ahead. It was Oda Nobunaga's banner team - they ran out before their retainers could prepare. They worked hard to chase it.

After a long time, in the end I could only follow the horse's butt and eat ashes.

"Could it be that he wanted to take up the post of General to Conquer Yi there and then open the ceremony?" Yu Qiuping gave an explanation after considering it, then shook his head and said, "But this kind of occasion must have the emperor's order, and there must be a minister.

I came here with the decree, but I didn’t see any minister accompanying the army?”

"Otherwise, my lord wants to make himself a general?" Maeda Toshiie mentioned a possibility and immediately shook his head, "No, this is too presumptuous... How could such a thing happen..."

However, as he was talking, his words stopped abruptly - Oda Nobunaga could really do such an outrageous thing, what's the big deal about making himself a shogun? Maeda Toshiie was even worried about whether he would be like Taira Shogun.

Proclaimed himself emperor.

When Yu Qiuping saw Maeda Toshiie suddenly stopped talking, he naturally guessed where he was thinking and laughed twice. At this time, Takigawa Kazumasu, who had set off last, also rode up, and Yu Qiuping

After seeing Takigawa Kazuki's figure, he slowed down his horse and said hello to him.

"Your Highness Takigawa." Yu Qiuping waved to Takigawa Yiyi.

"Your Highness Hongye." Takigawa Kazumasuki increased his horse speed, quickly came to Yu Qiuping's side, and bowed his hand to him, "Thank you for your kind words in the previous meeting!"

"Why should you be so polite, Your Highness Takikawa? Even if I don't say anything, the position of the Kanto Governor is still yours. This is the honor you have earned for your dedicated service to the Oda family for more than 20 years, with one sword and one gun." Yu Qiuping heard.

Yan shook his head repeatedly, indicating to Takigawa Kazuki that there was no need to be like this, "This position of army commander should have been yours."

"After waiting for almost ten years, I finally got the opportunity to be on my own. Unfortunately, I no longer have the opportunity to show off my talents." Takigawa Kazuki sighed with some regret, but more importantly, he got what he wanted.

Feeling.

In the evening, everyone finally rode their horses and arrived at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine. Oda Nobunaga arrived earlier than them, and his men seemed to have dispersed around Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine and started preparations. However, everyone was still curious about Oda Nobunaga.

What on earth is Tian Nobunaga going to do? He sent the mother-dressers to prepare in such a hurry. He doesn't necessarily have to do the ceremony tonight, right? How can a ceremony be prepared so easily? It has to wait until the daytime tomorrow.

Bar.

Before everyone could tie up their horses and take a breather, they suddenly saw black smoke rising from various temples in Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine. Immediately afterwards, there were faint flashes of fire. The retainers thought that Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine was on fire.

He hurriedly got on his horse again and rushed over. When he got closer, he discovered that Oda Nobunaga himself was holding a torch in his hand, riding his horse in a circle around Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, lighting the firewood piled up by the maidens around Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine.

and gunpowder. People in Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine were escaping in a hurry amidst the billowing black smoke and the gradually expanding fire, while the retainers of the Oda family watched in shock as this historic site was gradually engulfed in flames.
