In the East, people are more accustomed to capturing a big man with bloodline but no ability to serve as their mascot - serving the emperor to punish the rebellious.
Oda Nobuhime happened to have this person under his command, named Sasaki Yoshikane.
"The fact that there is a loyal minister like Princess Nobuhime in the world... woooo, it really makes me feel that there is still justice in the world." Today, Yoshikane Sasaki officially moved into the castle tower of Kiyosu Castle.
I really cried to thank Oda Nobuhime for her kindness, and Nobuhime's kindness can never be repaid.
On December 1, 1551, Oda Nobuhime summoned all the birds she could to formally attend the moving ceremony of Shiba Yoshikane - of course, Shiba Yoshikane was not brave enough to do so.
"Lord Wu Wei, you are too polite. Protecting our family is the responsibility of us, the guardian deputies." Oda Nobuhime wore a noble dress today, with a black-horned hat, and saluted elegantly to the "honorable" Sasaki Yoshihiko who was sitting on the main seat.
Historically, the ancestors of the Sasaki family lost their inheritance rights after marrying the daughter of the then-political rival, the Hojo clan. They changed their surname to Sasaki—but because they were descended from the Ashikaga shogunate, the Sasaki family long served as stewards and kanrei of the Ashikaga shogunate. For generations, they oversaw the security of the Imperial Palace, essentially monitoring the Emperor. Equivalent to the Rokuei (Rodori) or the Dianqian Dushishi (Dianqian Dushishi), they held a high position of responsibility. Therefore… they respectfully addressed you as "Musei-sama," but if they didn't treat you as a person of worth, they would simply call you "idiot."
"Okay, okay." Sasaki wiped his tears, not knowing whether they were real or fake. In short, he was fighting for his life. With a gentle wave of his hand, he said: "Our family is lucky to have a retainer like Princess Nobuhime of Oda Sanniang, who can restore order, support the collapsing building, and turn the tide. She can save the people from danger and save the country from collapse. We need more Princess Nobuhime, the world would have been peaceful long ago."
Then the world would be more lively than it is now.
"Today, Her Highness Nobuhime has allowed me to return to Kiyosu Castle and return my inheritance to my ancestral territory. This is all I can wish for!" Sasaki Yoshikane sighed, then wiped away the tears that were truly gone this time. "But! The villains in the north are still there, and the villains in the south are still there! The chaotic times have not been pacified - the previous traitors are not worth mentioning. Today, I officially appoint Her Highness Nobuhime as the guardian of Owari! You will be fully responsible for all Owari affairs on my behalf - Her Highness Nobuhime, please do not refuse again. Wuwuwuwu, Her Highness Nobuhime is like water, wuwuwuwu... I am like a fish... wuwuwu. Without Her Highness Nobuhime's help, I am like a candle in the wind, restless day and night. If Her Highness Nobuhime does not come out, what will happen to the people? Wuwuwuwu..."
"My lord, please take over as the guardian of Owari." In principle, Hirate Masahide shouted the slogan respectfully and loudly.
"Please, my lord, take over as Owari Shugodai!"
What were you doing here today? Was it really to watch Shiba Yoshigin move? Of course not—that was the grand finale.
"I, your humble servant, am humbled by this position. I will do my utmost to protect the stability of Owari."
Oda Nobuhime finally became the guardian of Owari that she had always dreamed of - the dean.
If you have the chance, give it up.
At this moment, she had enough righteousness to attack her brothers in the four upper counties of Owari in the north.
----------------------
"You, are you really confident in letting me go?" Yoshigane Sasaki had just been the boss of Qingzhou City for a few days, and of course he couldn't let the boss just be a mascot.
Oda Nobuhime assigned him a task, and the Oda family does not keep idle people.
"Of course." Oda Nobuhime chuckled and said, "Avi, you talk to him."
"Yes." Beidou Xinwei looked at his female boss who acted like a hands-off boss, and said to the CEO who was being sidelined, "I heard that the Wuwei family is a famous family among famous families. Are they related to the Kira family?"
Before the Ashikaga family became shoguns, the grandfather of the first shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiuji, had a son who was granted fiefdom in Tōkaidō. He changed his name from Ashikaga to Kira.
It’s Kira Yoshikage’s family.
The Kira family helped Ashikaga Takauji overthrow the old shogunate and establish it, becoming a vassal who consolidated its power. Unofficial historical records indicate that Ashikaga Takauji's last words included the following: "If the Ashikaga bloodline dies out, let the Kira family inherit the shogunate; if the Kira family bloodline dies out, let the Imagawa family inherit the shogunate." This demonstrates his "respected nobility."
At present, Masamune is kneeling at the feet of the Imagawa family like a little reptile.
The current lord of the Kira family is Kira Yoshiaki, the last generation of the Kira family.
By the way, the last shogun of the Ashikaga family was named Ashikaga Yoshiaki... You have to say that fate is really a scary thing.
Currently, Yoshiaki Kira was guarding his small territory in Tojo Castle, Mikawa Province. He was bullied daily by the Matsudaira, Shiba, Oda, and Imagawa clans—there was no bullying he couldn't handle. Now, the bullying had reached its limit: Yoshiaki Kira was forced to submit to the tyranny of Imagawa Yoshimoto.
"Since you are related to the Kira family," Hokuto Nobuyoshi spread his hands and said, "My lord, I am willing to lend you 50 gold coins and go with you to Mikawa. How about persuading the head of the Kira family, Yoshiaki Kira, to betray Imagawa?"
“!!!” The landlord didn’t have any surplus food.
When I heard about the 50 yuan fine, my life suddenly became clear.
"Yes!—please let me go!"
Chapter 134: Old Century Telecom Fraud Plan
Generally speaking, a boss who is sidelined will not have any real power, but Oda Nobuhime seemed to be too arrogant as a young person.
"Hahaha, Master Wuwei, there's no need to be so reserved. A Chinese poem goes like this: If I were to become the Jade Emperor someday, I would reward the peach blossoms with a spring.
If I become a general someday, it doesn't mean you can't become a Wuwei family member again! We still have infinite possibilities and a future, so why bother with trivial matters? "
Han poetry is a general term for Chinese poetry, not just poetry from the Han Dynasty.
Oda Nobuhime was practically overconfident by now, determined to unify the world before she turned 30. She made no secret of her ambitions, even feeling the need to be so harsh on her former boss. Perhaps they would even formally submit to her someday.
Because Oda Nobuhime's father had never fallen out with Sasaki Yoshikane's father, and the relationship between the two families was not too tense. So Oda Nobuhime felt that Sasaki Yoshikane was not very capable, so she gave Sasaki Yoshikane a reward of 600 koku, enough for him to recruit 50 retainers.
Of course, they are all little Karami.
But this was the price that Oda Nobuhime offered to Sasaki Yoshikane from the beginning. Now she directly asked Sasaki Yoshikane to undertake certain samurai tasks and responsibilities. This was simply a scorpion shit in the chaotic Warring States period when the main family was undermined - it was unique.
But... her father and Sasaki Yoshikane's relationship wasn't strained before because they had Oda Nobutomo as a buffer. Once Oda Nobutomo dies, the two of you will be directly facing the conflict - are you still dreaming?
But no matter what, Oda Nobuhime herself felt that she was in good condition.
————————————————————
1551 October.
When Maeda Keiji just started working, Yongzhen also just started working.
Oda Nobuyuki has been kicked out of the game, and there are basically no hostile forces in Minami-Owari. If there is, then there is only one unlucky guy——
Hattori Tomosada.
Hattori Tomosada, male, 45 years old, was a contemporary of his father-in-law Oda Nobuhide, but Oda Nobuhide was the trendsetter in Owari.
Hattori Tomosada is riding the waves in the physical sense on his own Ichie Island.
Ichie Island is a small island in the middle of the river, small but easily defended and difficult to attack. To the east lies a small island called Tsushima Castle. Because it is close to the mainland and serves as a natural deep-water harbor, accessible only by a small bridge, it is now the Oda clan's primary port, serving as a purse alongside Atsuta Port.
To the west, there is a small castle consisting of two small islands called Nagashima Castle - it is the territory of the Honganji family.
Hattori Tomonari, under the guise of a superior to the Honganji family, frequently extorted money from Tsushima Castle and demanded protection money. He was a difficult opponent, a kind of toad—the type that doesn't bite but annoys. It was indeed difficult to deal with him. At least, Oda Nobuhide failed to do so, and neither did Oda Nobuhime, preoccupied with the civil war.
"Alas... this matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle."
Everyone knows that Oda Nobuhime is the boss, so naturally, while we need to pay tribute to him, you also have to solve the problems of us younger brothers.
The lord of Tsushima Castle, Horida Michiku, ran to Oda Nobuhime to complain.
"Yes, my lord." Hotta Michikō looked at Hokuto Nobuyuki who was standing beside Oda Nobuhime and said, "This guy, Hattori Tomosada of Ichie Island, relies on his expertise in naval warfare and the support of the Honganji family. He is truly... doing evil! He keeps collecting our extortion fees. How can this continue? His Highness Nobuyuki is resourceful, brave, and skilled in naval warfare. He is definitely an expert in naval warfare. Can he capture Ichie Island and eliminate this threat to our Oda family forever? We have just withdrawn from the Rakuza Rakuichi and implemented it in Tsushima Castle, and now this has happened. How can merchants dare to come to Tsushima Castle in the future?"
You have been collecting tolls for 20 years, why can't this continue forever?
"Yes, that's indeed the problem." Oda Nobuhime pondered the horrors of this world... which wasn't really that scary. "Avi, can you go over and fix this? It's really uncomfortable being stuck there, unable to move up or down. If you clear the waterway behind me, I can fight in front of you without any worries!"
Do you think I'm Doraemon? And what you said seems to be quite ambiguous?
"My lord, I am not good at water battles either."
Beidou Xinwei shook his head and said with a headache, "How can a general always think about fighting and killing? The water is too deep here, my lord - Honganji is a group of evil monks. We must prevent them from having an excuse to start the Ikko Ikki here!"
It's a cult riot.
"Hattori Tomosada is said to be from the Ikko sect. He's not that active."
"Hmm?" Oda Nobuhime frowned. It felt like watching athlete's foot turn into psoriasis. It was disgusting and difficult to cure, but it wasn't life-threatening or even a major impact on her life. It was disgusting nonetheless. "Are we just going to leave him like this?"
"Of course not. The Ikko sect isn't a charity." Beidou Xinwei shook his head and said, "When playing chess, you cherish your rook so much. Is it because you have feelings for it? Of course not. It's because the rook is the most powerful - once it threatens the core interests of the general, it will be discarded like a piece of trash. Hattori Tomosada is the rook, and the general is Nagashima Castle. As long as we make him feel that Hattori Tomosada is incompetent, even a burden, and threatens the interests of Nagashima Castle, Hattori Tomosada will naturally lose his usefulness. If we continue to manipulate him, the Ikko sect will not react so strongly."
"That makes sense... but it's really annoying." Oda Nobuhime scratched her head irritably and asked, "Do you want to watch what you're saying? How can we get him to give up Hattori Tomosada?... Can't we just kill his whole family?"
It is normal for Oda Nobuhime to be dissatisfied - you often clamor to kill my entire family, but why do you hold back now that you meet someone who really deserves to kill my entire family?
"Yes, but you have to wait. Give me six months, and I'll see if I can kill him."
————————————————————
The Hattori family has been entrenched here for over three hundred years, and Hattori Tomosada has been causing trouble for the Oda family for thirty years. It's no big deal for Beidou Xinwei to take half a year.
I just didn't expect that such a shocking scam would actually come out.
On October 5, 1551, after Beidou Xinwei held its regular meeting, everyone left and only these four were left.
"I asked you four to stay after this meeting for a different reason. I'll give you a general strategy and see if you can help me achieve it." Beidou Xinwei looked at Maeda Keiji, Murai Sadakatsu, Nyanko, and Nagashin in front of him and began to issue his KPIs for this time.
Chapter 135 A World Full of Malice
"My lord, just tell me." When Maeda Keiji saw that Beidou Xinwei was going to give him a task, he felt quite happy like all the new employees.
"Leave the main task this time to Keiji." Beidou Xinwei pointed at Maeda Keiji and said, "What is your relationship with Takigawa Ieyasu? At first, I thought Takigawa Ieyasu was just an ordinary samurai from Omi. How come after I got here, I discovered that every general of the Oda clan is related to him?"
nonsense.
In this world, if you want to jump to a big company and get a stable job straight away—is that even possible without connections? First, it was Ikeda Terumasa, then Maeda Toshiie. Of course, in this society where success depends on one's connections, Takigawa Kazumasu himself must have some ability!
Of course, Hideyoshi Kinoshita, who relied entirely on his own abilities in a society where everyone depended on their fathers, is dead.
"Ah, Takigawa Kazumasu? My former cousin, but he doesn't count anymore. Um, our family relationships are a bit messy." Maeda Keiji scratched his head and said, "But Takigawa Kazumasu is indeed..."
"That's easy, I heard about it these past couple of days." Beidou Xinwei glanced at Yongzhen nonchalantly, but of course it wasn't just hearsay: "Takigawa Kazumasu, when he was a ronin, he was a close friend of Hattori Tomosada?"
amount……
"I'll go back and ask my uncle?" Maeda Keiji was stunned.
"No need. Since I've said it, it's true." Beidou Xinwei skipped the evidence collection stage and directly pronounced the verdict: "You, on behalf of your uncle, contact Hattori Tomosada."
"Hmm? Lord, aren't you planning to deal with him recently? I..."
"Yes, in short, we're going to trick him. Here—see?" Beidou Xinwei casually pointed at the place east of Tsushima Castle, where it connected to the waterway, on the map. "Build a city here. If he doesn't have money, let him ask the Ikko sect for a loan. As long as he occupies this place, Tsushima Castle will have to pay more tolls. Oda Nobuhime will unify Owari sooner or later, so why not build a city here and invite the Ikko sect to take over and put pressure on Nobuhime, right?"
"..." Maeda Keiji looked at the map and nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense. Building a city here is indeed a good idea. But... where can I buy the materials?"
"Murai Sadakatsu." Hokuto Nobuyuki called his general merchant agent in Atsuta Port and said, "He'll be preparing the materials for the city soon. As for the manpower, local farmers will soon appear, driven by rumors and seeking work but without work positions. Don't worry about any of that. In short, you just have to do your best to trick Hattori Tomosada into building the city here! When he takes over, we'll attack him from both sides! Capturing him, is that a problem?"
"...No problem! Isn't it just a scam?" Maeda Keiji suddenly got excited and felt that the lord in front of him was really a piece of shit!
How could an ordinary warrior come up with such a sinister trick?
"It's my specialty! Don't worry, sir. When I was a ronin, who didn't I cheat? Look, I can easily catch them."
"You really are making good use of a waste." Beidou Xinwei patted Maeda Keiji on the shoulder and said to the young man in front of him, "But remember that you will be a samurai in the future, so don't forget these tricks. But don't give up your personal martial arts and strategy. I will value you very much in the future, understand? Yongzhen and Lang will stay with me, but you can use the ninja team they just formed. Murai Sadakatsu will also cooperate with you. In short, you must complete this deception!"
"Don't worry!"
----------------------
The women in the family seem to have enough IQ, but not enough EQ. Since women are not strong enough, only men can take over.
In 1552, just after the New Year.
In the second year after crossing over, Beidou Xinwei spent a full and solid year in an environment where he did not have many wives and concubines, but many lovers. Then, this morning.
Maeda Keiji, Murai Sadakatsu, and...Lang and Yongzhen came together.
This combination really surprised Beidou Xinwei, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there seemed to be a big move during this period.
"Greetings, my lord."
"Well, everyone, get up." Beidou Xinwei, wearing a coat, sat cross-legged in front of a low desk. He looked up at the group, then lowered his head to continue reading the paperwork. "That's impressive! The four of you are here together? Tell me, what happened?"
"My Lord, this is great news."
Maeda Keiji had just started working, but he looked a little mentally unstable and said in a shrewd manner: "We stole it!"
"Huh?" Beidou Xinwei was stunned and put the document down. "You... really stole it? I was just giving a suggestion..."
"My lord, your foresight is truly remarkable. This is a brilliant plan, unheard of." Murai Sadakatsu, a true samurai, knelt on the ground in admiration. "But, we did capture this city!"
"...This kind of idiot is truly unheard of." Beidou Xinwei nodded and said doubtfully, "We already know the result. Tell me about the process."
"Yes!" Maeda Keiji said happily, "I am playing a member of the Takigawa family, but I have become a wealthy merchant. I happened to be doing some business and came to visit Hattori Tomonari's house. I didn't expect that he was somewhat familiar with my appearance and immediately approached me. During the banquet, I told him that it was getting easier and easier to do business in the Oda family. But this may not be a good thing for him. It would be better to build a castle in Kanie.
He was tempted by the idea, but was short of money. I told him I had a batch of materials I needed to sell and could give him a fair price. He believed me and went with me to Ishiyama Honganji to borrow money from the Honganji family. He ended up taking 3,000 kan (approximately 2,000 kan) to build the castle at Kanie. Lord Murai's materials have all been shipped up, and I've been overseeing the construction as the foreman. It should be finished tomorrow, and I even asked him to take an extra 1,000 kan (approximately 2,000 kan) so he could bribe someone to build the castle without anyone noticing. So, the total is 4,000 kan (approximately 2,000 kan)—my lord, I've done my duty."
Maeda Keiji slammed the 4,000-kan large coin onto the floor with a clang and shoved it toward Nobuyoshi Hokuto. Finally, he said scornfully, "The city is under our control, too. Just send someone there quietly! — The day after tomorrow, Hattori Tomosada will personally take over the city. By then..."
"...Well, very well done." Beidou Xinwei was quite emotional.
The world is indeed becoming more and more difficult.
There are too many fools and not enough liars!
Telecom fraud is easy to be deceived if you have selfish motives! Look, the money is mine, the city is mine, and in the end, you have to keep your kidneys too.
However...
The whole world is not as simple as we imagine.
This is a breathing world - everyone is doing crazy things, how can it be as you wish, with ordinary telecommunications fraud, cheating, murder and robbery?
