Takenaka Shigeharu had never encountered such a thing. Oda Nobunaga had a surly temperament and unruly behavior.
She originally wanted to die to wash away the humiliation, but when she heard the hidden meaning in Oda Nobunaga's words, she gritted her teeth and followed the younger one down first.
After she left, Niwa Nagahide sighed and said.
"Your Highness, Takenaka Shigeharu has some status in Simino. You should not play tricks on her and dampen the Mino samurai's desire to serve."
Oda Nobunaga twitched the corner of his mouth and said indifferently.
"He's just a lost dog, there's nothing to worry about. He's quite smart, so he can be used as a helper by Kinoshita Hideyoshi."
Seeing that Niwa Nagahide still wanted to persuade him, Oda Nobunaga said impatiently.
"I know! Winning her over to the Mino Takeshi family, I understand!
To give her an official status, just send her to Kinoshita Hideyoshi as a powerful force, right?
Mi Wu Niang, you are becoming more and more bold now. I haven’t settled the accounts with you yet about the Maeda Toshi family incident! "
Niwa Changxiu's smile became more and more bitter. She was also kind-hearted to help her old friend. Who would have thought that Maeda Toshiie was so capable, but it would endanger herself and earn a look from her master.
Oda Nobunaga vented and let the matter be over. She thought carefully and said.
"Mi Wuniang, don't let go of the infiltration in the direction of Simeon. Don't be stingy with money and food, and try your best to bribe the Siminong martial arts family to surrender to me, especially Ando Mamoru.
Ichikun is about to leave for Kitaomi, but those guys in Nishi Mino are fierce and jealous, saying they don't want it, but the border is open.
After he safely crossed the border, he immediately asked the spies to spread the news in Meinong.
I want to take a look. Isshiki Yoshiryu can still hold back. Can he pretend not to see it? Does she still dare to use the three people from Simeon?
Especially Ando Mamoru, who has already rebelled once, should have a good life in a few days. "
Niwa Nagahide kowtowed to the ground, then resigned and went to communicate with Takenaka Shigeharu.
Oda Nobunaga squinted her eyes and thought. She deliberately pretended to be stupid and ignored Maeda Toshiie's Mikawa military exploits, but after weighing the pros and cons, she gritted her teeth and admitted it.
Good luck to this guy.
———
Kinoshita Village, Aichi County, Owari Province.
Several people in the village gathered around, and a girl held a branch shewed into a stick. She shouted and stepped forward, slashing at the opposing warrior Ji.
Warrior Na Ji scolded.
"too slow!"
Then he dodged sideways and tapped the girl's calf with his toe, causing her to trip down.
This Samurai Hime is none other than Masakatsu Hachisuga, the new governor of the Hachisuka family.
She shook her head, speechless.
It was extremely frustrating for her to be a sparring partner in her capacity.
The Hachisuka family is Owari's old samurai family, and she has seen the changes in Owari these days.
Oda Nobunaga promoted Kinoshita Hideyoshi step by step, making her an ashigaru head, and treating her as a commoner for her meritorious service became a typical propaganda for the Hime Samurai.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi also became the target of the Owari samurai to vent their emotions. Masakatsu Hachisuka was horrified, but there was nothing he could do.
Oda Nobunaga made it clear that she was tied to Kinoshita Hideyoshi and asked her to take charge and assist Kinoshita Hideyoshi in his work.
She had to help train these relatives of the Kinoshita family, because none of the Owari warriors were willing to serve in the Kinoshita family. In addition to his family members, Kinoshita Hideyoshi could not benefit anyone.
The girl who fought against her was named Kato Masakiyoshi, a relative and child brought by Kinoshita Hideyoshi.
In addition to Hideyoshi, the people watching around were also her sister Kinoshita Hidenaga, and fellow relatives Fukushima Masanori and Asano Nagamasa.
These four people were helpers hired by Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and Masakatsu Hachisuka had never heard of them in the Owari samurai circle.
Judging from the situation of this girl, Masaki Kato, she is not from an orthodox Hime Samurai background.
She sighed and said to Kinoshita Hideyoshi.
"Kinoshita-sama, I have tried all these skills, but my foundation is shallow and I still need to study hard and practice hard."
She spoke implicitly, but Kinoshita Hideyoshi's face turned slightly red.
She heard the implication of Haizuka Masakatsu's words, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Oda Nobunaga was very generous this time, installing a thousand stones in Kinoshita Village, which was a step forward in knowledge and practice, which was enough for her to recruit several brave warriors to serve as officials.
But she couldn't recruit him, and the entire Owari martial arts circle rejected her.
The conscience of heaven and earth, she gained the identity of a warrior Hime by joining the Kinoshita family, and she is no longer a commoner!
But under Oda Nobunaga's deliberate distortion, she became a representative of civilian efforts and the pride and aspiration of the Ashigaru class.
It sounds like a very inspirational story, but it makes Kinoshita Hideyoshi chilling and secretly complaining.
She was not stupid. She finally understood why Oda Nobunaga gave her so many rewards. It turned out to be money to buy her life.
With a clear goal to vent his emotions, the Owari samurai's anger was directed at Kinoshita Hideyoshi.
With a target set up for people to vent their anger, Oda Nobunaga could sit on the sidelines and silently advance his own reforms.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi could not find help from the samurai family, so she could only place more emphasis on her own relatives. The family members under her command were not from high backgrounds, so she had no choice but to become a representative of the common people.
They both have different thoughts and are both dissatisfied with the status quo. But the mountain of Oda Nobunaga was pressing down on them. Even if they wanted to break up, they could only grit their teeth and persevere.
There was a sad look on the face here, and a peasant woman reported at the entrance of the village that several Ji warriors had arrived.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi was surprised, is there any Wu family willing to come to her these days?
A group of people came to the village entrance and saw Niwa Nagahide with several Hime warriors. Kinoshita Hideyoshi was overjoyed and stepped forward to bow.
"Lord Niwa, I didn't expect you to be here. I sent someone to spread the news earlier. It's my turn to listen to your teachings."
Niwa Nagahide smiled slightly.
"You have such a mouth full of honey that you are too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Come on, let me introduce you to someone.
This is Lord Takenaka Shigeharu, the force newly assigned to you by His Highness. "
Kinoshita Hideyoshi looked at a Hime warrior next to Niwa Nagahide with an extraordinary bearing. It just looked a little gloomy and depressed for no reason.
But she was still very happy. Oda Nobunaga tricked her, but at least he didn't trick her into death, and he still gave her a chance and manpower. There was Masakatsu Hoshizuka before him, and this person came later.
She bowed politely.
"This is our first meeting. Please give me your advice in the future, Mr. Takenaka."
Takenaka Shigeharu silently watched her bow, and then glanced at Niwa Nagahide who was smiling beside him.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi was just happy to have Samurai Hime come to help, but Masakatsu Hachisuga next to him opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it.
"Are you the Takenaka family governor, Mr. Takenaka Shigeharu, who secured thirty thousand stones in Bodhi Mountain City and is famous for his resourcefulness?"
Kinoshita Hideyoshi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but take another look at the delicate and delicate woman in front of him.
Is this person so powerful? How did that become my strength?
Seeing Takenaka Shigeharu's face and not speaking, she had no choice but to look at Niwa Nagahide for help.
Niwa Nagahide and Takenaka Shigeharu had some talks before coming, revealing Oda Nobunaga's reform intentions and Kinoshita Hideyoshi's role.
Takenaka Shigeharu knew that this matter was important, and Oda Nobunaga thought highly of her by making such an arrangement.
She had nowhere to go after leaving Mino, and she didn't want to sink into the world, so she subconsciously came to Owari Country to meet the female figure Oda Nobunaga.
Anyway, Oda Nobunaga gave her a choice. After Niwa Nagahide's persuasion, she reluctantly followed.
Niwa Nagahide patiently advised.
"Master Takenaka, if you really have no interest, then leave Owari.
Your Highness, I will explain it to you. Please don't take her joke to heart. It's just a joke. "
Takenaka Shigeharu took a deep breath, bowed to Niwa Nagahide, and said.
"Niwa-sama, you're welcome. Now that I'm here, I won't regret it."
She bowed deeply to Kinoshita Hideyoshi again and said.
"I'll take care of you again in Shimotake. Please take care of me in the future, Mr. Kinoshita."
