I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

Beidou Xinwei went hunting, destroyed temples and cut down mountains.

Today is another good day for hunting temple industries. Look, the monks who are resisting resolutely in front are being killed.

The beautiful girl who had just finished her confinement... no, the 24-year-old beautiful young woman looked at Beidou Xinwei with shocked eyes and asked in disbelief, "Did you take the wrong medicine? What did you just say?"

"Me?" Beidou Xinwei clasped his hands together, looking like a devout believer: "Recite the mantra of rebirth again—"

"Bagana!" The beautiful young woman suddenly jumped back. As expected of a young mother, she had just finished her confinement and, with the help of advanced medical treatment, was able to not only stammer and move around, but also move around in front of outsiders, looking like she had ADHD. Oda Nobuhime looked at Beidou Nobumi in disbelief and said, "Someone! Hold him down! He's taken the wrong medicine and has hysterics! Oh my god, can these charlatans really cast spells?"

The surrounding male warriors looked at Beidou Xinwei, then looked at Oda Xinji: How much is it a month? Are you going to risk your life for a joke like you two?

A group of female warriors thought that if we go up and do a split, the opponent may not be able to waste time on us before they can knock us down.

"You're the hysterical one." The handsome boy rolled his eyes at the other, who had now evolved into a mobile succubus with a Charm value of 25. While her appearance still couldn't compare to any of the viewers in front of their phones, it was enough to make the beautiful girls of this time and space yearn for her day and night. Her attribute points were seriously overflowing, and Beidou Xinwei's bucket number had been increased to the seemingly useless Charm value, which actually seemed to be of no use.

He's not a warlock, right?

"Could you please stop being so superstitious? And you want to use black magic? That's all lies to steal people's money. Even if we take a step back, those who use black magic are all evil monks and evil Taoists. Since they're not the right way, I'm upright and honest, so why should I be afraid of black magic?"

Well... maybe monks are, but Taoists... @Jiang Ziya who cast a spell to kill Zhao Gongming (Investiture of the Gods).

"You're not sick, so why are you chanting the mantra for rebirth?"

"Hasn't it been the last few years that I've had children? I feel guilty for committing so much murder." Beidou Xinwei sighed and said, "With all the murders, I don't know how many people have to be saved. I'm afraid I won't be able to accumulate enough merit. Letting my descendants enjoy endless wealth and glory - that's not okay. It would be best if all of it fell on me -"

"...Japanese is so hard to understand. Did you just speak Chinese?" Oda Nobuhime covered her head, looking confused. "What the hell were you just saying?"

"You know what, I actually have a new way of chanting recently." Beidou Xinwei waved his hand piously, and the Christian Wilhelmina next to him suddenly... started playing the Latin guitar, which has only become popular in Spain in the last two hundred years.

Then, a few loyal yet mentally ill samurai, such as Maeda Keiji, Kenshin, and Ushiwakamaru, pulled out a few small percussion instruments. Along with Beidou Xinwei's chanting, a cyber-rap-like atmosphere washed over them.

"..." Oda Nobuhime, a local daimyo from District 11, also found destroying Buddhism a great pleasure in life. However, after listening to Beidou Nobuo recite a cyber rap rebirth mantra, she was stunned for a few seconds and said, "Even though I don't believe in Buddhism, I still think you are quite evil."

"Hey, don't say that—I'm a very pious person. I really think killing is bad." Beidou Xinwei sighed while continuing to recite the scriptures...

"Over there!" Suddenly, the handsome young man pointed at a warrior in the distance and shouted, "There are already eighty-eight of us here! I told you, eighty-eight heads per Jingguan! Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skulls to the Skull Throne! Why don't you understand? Do you want to become a Jingguan too?"

A few warriors, holding the heads of the monks, trembled and knelt down to kowtow and admit their mistakes. Ordinary people would just talk about it. Beidou Xinwei's words were the truth, and they were convincing.

"...Tsk, pious, tsk, not committing the sin of killing." Oda Nobuhime curled her lips.

Then he looked at the monks whose blood was flowing like a river in the distance and suddenly shook his head.

"Oh, it's meaningless."

"...What do you mean?" Beidou Xinwei glanced at the other party.

"If you ask me that, it's pointless." Oda Nobuhime found a marching horse and sat down, leaning on her katana. She closed her eyes and sighed with a look of despair. "You see, I'm such a successful woman! I've achieved success and fame, perfect martial arts, and a perfect girl."

Beidou Xinwei: “…”

Is that what all silly (beep~) egomaniacs with personality flaws like to call themselves?

"I single-handedly conquered all of Owari with my own strength." He spoke without fear of tongue-tiedness, perhaps because the leader liked it that way. "Everyone around me, everyone in my family, was either a rebel or a drag. But I still unified Owari! And then, I conquered Mino! I'm only 24 this year, and I'm already a million-koku daimyo. Life is as lonely as snow."

If it had a tail, it would probably hit the sky by now. If you don't believe me, look, its nostrils are already pointing to the sky.

"Praise me!" The beautiful young woman frowned and said in a low voice after not hearing Beidou Xinwei's flattery for a long time.

"Great, great..." Beidou Xinwei touched the other person's hair.

"Hehehe..." Another G-spot on the head. Ushiwakamaru looked at Oda Nobuhime with envy as she was being touched on the head.

"So - my life is really lonely like snow. I am too strong. Being strong leads to boredom." Oda Nobuhime sighed.

"Oh, I see. You're just a troublemaker. If you don't get a fight for three days, you'll tear the roof off the house!" Think about it carefully. It seems your childhood was indeed spent in a continuous state of self-destruction: "Can't sit still, huh? In today's world, all you have to do is build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne. In the past, Emperor Gaozu occupied Guanzhong, and Emperor Guangwu occupied Henei. They both built deep trenches and high fortifications, with ulterior motives."

"...What do you mean? Can you just say it directly?" After having an external brain, Oda Nobuhime has begun to refuse to think.

"Don't be impatient, there are many people more impatient than you. In the chaotic times of the Warring States, it's not a competition of superiority, but a competition of inferiority." Don't say that, don't say that! It seems that since ancient times, any era of decadence and decline without the competition of advanced classes and advanced ideas has always been a competition of inferiority: "If you don't move, some will just move aimlessly, and then all you need to do is..."

"My Lord! My Lord! --It's bad!"

Just as Hokuto Nobuyoshi and Oda Nobuhime were talking.

Time began to move forward silently.

1556 6 Month 15 Day.

A samurai rode up from a distance. It was Maeda Toshiie. He seemed to have come from Gifu Castle himself, with a look of panic on his face.

"What's wrong! A'un!" Oda Nobuhime, who had just boasted, was also nervous.

I just became a million-stone daimyo, isn't there a rebellion? It shouldn't be, isn't it? Isn't it being killed?

"Lord! Last May 16th! — Shogun Ashikaga was surrounded and killed by the Miyoshi family in Nijo Castle!!!"

“……?!?! What?!” Oda Nobuhime was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shook her head like a lion and stared at Beidou Nobuyuki.

The warriors around him all had the same look:

Tell me, was it you who instructed the Sanhao family to do this? Beidou Banxian, you are very smart!

Chapter 236: The Four Gods were chosen during the Japanese Warring States Period. Could the Japanese be blessed with little?

Daily life is so boring that Beidou Xinwei is a little worried about his mental state.

If Japan were to be unified quickly, where would the next war be fought? Where would the next people be killed? Wouldn't that mean a life of extravagance, of sleeping drunkenly on the lap of a beautiful woman, and reigning supreme? That wouldn't do. It would be too boring. It wouldn't be as exciting as building a Jingguan.

"I never thought the Shogun would be assassinated." Oda Nobuhime's opinion of the Shogun was quite high: "His fate was full of misfortunes, but he may be the ruler who can restore the country. He is not a ruler who will destroy the country, but a ruler who will bring disaster upon the country."

The simple evaluation is that it is unlucky.

"The final result wasn't bad..." Beidou Xinwei said, looking at the increasingly detailed report. "This letter says that the general's son had a premonition of misfortune. He drank with his concubines in Nijo Castle and wrote his farewell song on the hem of her skirt: 'The May rain is still drizzling, and I send my name, Dujuan Yi, soaring gracefully into the sky.'"

You know what, when translated into Chinese, it has the meaning of long and short sentences. I can only say that the translator is pretty awesome.

"He fought hard for three hours before dying."

"...Three hours? Incredible?" Generally, after thirty minutes of intense fighting on the battlefield, you'd practically die. Combat isn't like fighting wolves, where one group of people fights another. There's always time for rest and replacements.

"Maybe... I taught him some tricks?" Beidou Xinwei looked at the report in his hand with some confusion. "Before he died, he seemed to shout something like 'Although the shogunate has not yet been reopened, this general has understood the true meaning of the Beidou sword and has no regrets in his death.' He killed hundreds of people alone and died."

"Huh?" Oda Nobuhime was suddenly confused by this. "Can you brag about yourself?"

"How can what's written in the report be considered flattery?" The handsome 20-year-old suddenly became anxious and threw the report in his hand into the face of the beautiful young woman beside him. "This is ruining my reputation! Three hours, and he only killed hundreds of people - and he said he understood the true meaning of my swordsmanship? I just gave him some casual guidance, who would have thought he was good enough? And then he died?"

"Oh..." Thinking of how Beidou Xinwei killed everyone who stood in his way on the battlefield, Oda Xinji didn't think he was bragging. "That makes sense, but such a swordsman general... What do you think we should do?"

"Leave it alone, what can you do? Go to Kyoto and fight the traitor Miyoshi? Look carefully, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Matsunaga Hisahide's fault."

Beidou Xinwei pointed out the problem accurately: "The Miyoshi family truly rose rapidly, but fell suddenly. Miyoshi Nagayoshi was a great hero of his generation, dominating the capital—but he placed too much emphasis on the feelings of his family. After the death of his close brother Shihe Ichizane, he became depressed and suspicious of those around him, even his entire family... This is quite similar to you."

Beidou Xinwei looked at Oda Xinji, his face full of diss. His brother died and he raised an army in anger, and the situation was favorable, but he was still unlucky, and ended up losing miserably at Ise.

"...I'm talking about Miyoshi Nagayoshi. Why are you dragging me down for no reason?" Oda Nobuhime lowered her head and played with her fan. "Well, look at history. Don't you think Miyoshi Nagayoshi's decision to attack the capital was really too early?"

"When the capital wasn't chaotic enough, everyone attacking it was an early mover. Generally speaking, those who laugh first in troubled times usually don't laugh last, such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the Qin Dynasty, Wang Mang, the Red Eyebrows, and the Green Forest in the Western Han Dynasty. There were countless heroes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so I won't list them all. In a sense, the chaotic times weren't chaotic enough. Their early success marked the beginning of the chaos, but their efforts only made it more chaotic. Without destruction, there is no construction. They are the pawns that break the game, but not the winners."

Generally speaking, this is the case, but there are exceptions.

"What do you mean by saying this?"

"I told you, the world is full of chaos, and people are competing for inferiority rather than excellence. According to the materialist viewpoint, internal factors determine external factors. Internal factors are the essence, and external factors are development. The development, change, or outcome of a thing is determined by its internal factors. If the Oda family is not corrupt, no one can touch you. If the Oda family produces a few traitors, you will be made into a barbecue dinner in minutes. But this will not affect your determination to conquer the world."

"..." Oda Nobuhime cast a deep glance at Hokuto Nobuyoshi and said hesitantly, "You mean to say that we should hold off for now, build high walls, store up abundant food, and slowly claim the throne. Then, we can trust more families, cultivate our own absolutely loyal forces, and consolidate the development of the Oda family."

"Yes."

"... Doesn't that mean we have to wait at least another twenty years?" Oda Nobuhime spread her hands.

"...Uh, why is it so far?" Beidou Xinwei didn't know why the other party suddenly gave such an answer. "Actually, just wait a few months or a year..."

"Aren't we supposed to wait until our child Nobutada grows up?" Oda Nobuhime muttered, "We need to have more children in the next twenty years. Yours and Kicho's children, yours and Kikyo's children, yours and... in short. All of yours can be used. The bloodline shouldn't be much different. Kicho's child is two years old now, so he looks a lot bigger than the average child and healthier."

Oda Nobuhime said this with dissatisfaction, "I, the head of the Oda family, am so weak that I can't even decide on a name for my own son. You have to come up with the name... I can't even do anything that pleases me."

"It's better not to do such a pleasant thing! - With your ability to come up with names, you still want to name our son? Won't he hate you forever? Qimiaowan? You can even come up with such a name?"

"But, he's handsome!" Oda Nobuhime still wanted to make up for it.

"You're so handsome! —Huh... Stop thinking about whether or not to have children."

At present, Guidie is planning to give birth to her second child, and Jiegeng is planning to give birth to her second child soon after.

Even a half-British child was born, named Hokuto Nobuhide. Hokuto Nobuyoshi named him Churchill, hoping that the child would grow up healthy and safe, free from illness and disaster, and hold great power. Saito Ashu's position was rather awkward and unique; the child she gave birth to was raised in silence, born as the 500-koku lord of the Hokuto family. This decision did cause some minor opposition from many of the Oda clan's retainers at the time.

Soon there was no objection.

The other concubines also seemed to be actively trying to climb into Beidou Xinwei's bed first, and Oda Xinji herself was also eager to try -

"You said we'd have to wait about a year?"

"Yes. Let the bullets and arrows fly for a while." Beidou Xinwei said with a smile, "The most important task for our family right now is to seize the time to consolidate our internal strength, reduce our enemies to a few, and make our friends many. The former is easy, the latter is difficult. I hope you can understand that it is easy to commit sins of killing, but it is difficult to cultivate good karma."

"...That's a strange thing to hear coming from you," Oda Nobuhime muttered. Since her external brain had said so, fine: "This will set the tone for tomorrow's meeting. I'll make the announcement. Um... on the other hand, the biggest threats to our clan right now are: Takeda to the east, Omi to the west, and Ise to the south... Especially Ise. What should we do?"

"Ah, is there going to be a plague?" Beidou Xinwei scratched his ear and said calmly, "Life is a blessing to everyone equally. Even disease is a kind of life, isn't it?"

“…?!?! Are you sick?” Oda Nobuhime really felt that the man in front of her was a little scary.

"Not bad," the handsome young man, whose charm surpassed all current standards, smiled faintly and said, "Everything is going according to plan. Remember our slogan: Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull to the Skull Throne! — Ise is just a minor case of tinea pedis. Store up provisions and prepare to march to Kyoto."

I got up and fell down again. Everyone, please pay attention to this new coronavirus.

As the title says, I developed pneumonia and it hasn't healed in a few days. I'm also having asthma and it's annoying. I'm currently waiting for the results. Everyone, please hope I win the resurrection match.

Asking for leave, 100 words patch as the title, caused pneumonia, a few days without any improvement and asthma is annoying. Currently waiting for the results. Everyone hopes that I will win the resurrection match.

I need to take a leave of absence. I will write a 100-word supplement as the title says. I have developed pneumonia and it has not healed in a few days. I am also suffering from asthma. I am currently waiting for the results. I hope everyone will win the resurrection match.

Ask for leave, 100 words to make up

Chapter 237 Want to get something for nothing?

September 9, 1556, when I remember my brothers in Shandong.

What a sunny day!

"Woooooooo..."

Oda Nobuhime looked at a familiar person whom she had only met once, a person she didn't really know well. This person was the famous Hosokawa Fujitaka.

He was the only 0.5 loyal ministers in the late shogunate. Of course, the late shogunate refers to the Ashikaga shogunate. Look at how grand the death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru was. Look at the Tokugawa shogunate...

The reason why Hosokawa Fujitaka is so famous is because the surname Hosokawa represents his noble bloodline, fair with rosy complexion, unique. Logically speaking, it is a genetic mutation that the product of generations of close relatives can produce such a product with such excellent intelligence. How noble is the marriage between cousins, uncles and aunts? - Of course, it may be because of the reason of distant relatives marrying, which makes it slightly better than Tiannao Heika's family. Not to the point

Hosokawa Fujitaka, a master of maneuvering, navigated various factions near the capital—theoretically, the Oda clan could be considered a faction near the capital, though it was on the periphery. Three years prior, Hosokawa Fujitaka had been sent on a diplomatic mission to the Oda clan as a return gift, conferring a new official position upon Oda Nobuhime, who had met him briefly.

Now? Now is nonsense.

You used to be the highest-ranking aide in the shogunate, but now you are just a lobbyist who lives under someone else's roof and wants to be a Su Qin and Zhang Yi who gets something for nothing.

"Your Highness Tanjo Daichu, Your Highness Settsu no Mori, please, Your Highnesses, save the lives of those in dire straits, and support the country from this critical juncture..." Currently, he is weeping.

"It's not that we don't want to help." Oda Nobuhime often used her external brain, but that didn't mean she wasn't a political person. To be more precise, she was quite resourceful in her approach. She said calmly, "We are also loyal ministers of the court, but after the Shogun's death, won't a new Shogun take the throne soon?"

"The former great general was murdered by villains, the main culprits being the Number Three and Matsunaga Hisahide. Now, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, nominated by these enemies, is of course a puppet, despite his status as the former general's cousin. But to be nominated by an enemy is nothing less than recognizing an enemy as one's own father." Hosokawa Fujitaka's argument made sense. With the air of "Crying at the Qin Court," Hosokawa Fujitaka declared, "Now, all righteous men are nominating the general's brother, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, as the 14th Shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate."

"That's understandable," Oda Nobuhime nodded, glancing at Hokuto Nobuyuki. Then she turned and asked, "Since there are so many righteous men, why are Omi Rokkaku, Noto Hatakeyama, Ise Kitabatake, Kanto Kanrei Uesugi Kenshin, and most importantly, Echizen Asakura—these people remain indifferent?"

"This... Alas, the world is in turmoil, and everything is in turmoil. Although everyone has made verbal promises, they are all disrupting the war situation and have no strength to advance to Kyoto. Now only you, Qingdan Zheng Dazhong, can take action personally..."

"Crack...crack...crack..."

The bat fan in Oda Nobuhime's hand kept knocking on the tatami.

Honestly, though he was just a background figure, Imagawa Yoshimoto, the first archer of Tōkaidō, was a rare and remarkable figure. His ambition to reach Kyoto was a breath of fresh air in the early Warring States period. Most daimyo reached the end of their rank after reaching 1 million koku.

To the west, there was Ouchi Yoshitaka; to Kyushu, there was Otomo Sorin; to the east, there were Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, and Hojo Ujiyasu. Once they reached the million-koku level, all sorts of problems began to arise: those who gave up, those who fought among themselves, those who fought to the death, and even the Hojo family, the chazuke sage who had no desire to go to Kyoto.

Therefore, after Oda Nobuhime had accumulated a million koku, she could have chosen not to go to Kyoto and live her own life, rather than getting involved in the mess. For the past hundred years, whoever went to Kyoto was doomed during the Japanese Warring States period. This has almost become a kind of curse.

"What do you think, Avi?" Oda Nobuhime glanced at Beidou Nobuyoshi who was watching the show on the side, and said, "You should make a decision too."

Now it’s like two saints are ruling the country.

"I have no objection." Beidou Xinwei shook his head calmly and said, "Our family's biggest enemy right now is the Ikko clan of Nagashima Castle in Ise, and the Kitabatake clan in Ise. If we were to go to Kyoto to support the king, we would encounter Omi Rokkaku and Asai along the way, and run headlong into the Miyoshi clan's capital area. This wouldn't be a good thing, would it? Moreover, there's the Takeda clan to the east and the Asakura clan to the north. After we go to Kyoto, who will be the host and who will be the guest?"

You see, this question is interesting. Others went to Kyoto. For example, Imagawa Yoshimoto, when he went there, he could almost become the Shogun and reopen the Kaifu!

What were we going there for? To help you reopen the palace? You really want to get something for nothing?

"Your Highness Tanjo Taichu - when I came, my lord Ashikaga Yoshiaki expressed to me again and again: First, he is willing to recognize you as his mother! And His Highness Hokuto as his father!" Hosokawa Fujitaka was determined to shock everyone.
