Chapter 1002 Reappearance of the Mino Viper(2/2)
“Ah…”
"I have investigated ancient history. The Emperor of Shirakawa is fortunate to visit here ten times, the Emperor of Tooba 21 times, the Emperor of Houbai 34 times, the Emperor of Houbai 28 times, and our ancestors, the Hei family, also had devout faith. The faith of Kiyoho and the Emperor of Hokawa are all based on this. So after Kiyoho took over the world, Kumano Hokawa 21 times, it is now used as a guardian. Because of this, I also want to start my first Kumano worship."
After hearing this, everyone was instantly staying aside. Until yesterday, Oda Nobunaga had no gods and Buddhas in his eyes. But on the way out of the formation of Tarasa, he suddenly offered a wish to the Reinda Shrine, and now he has taken a sudden turn to become a faithful family. This makes everyone feel a little worried.
"No! There is no such thing. This must be your highness joking. This kind of thing is not what Your Highness would do in the past..."
"Haha... It seems that you all understand. So during my outing, you must guard your posts well."
"Your Highness!" Shibata Kiyoro said with a little concern: "You said you would go easily, but on this dangerous road to Warring States Period, you should bring more people."
"The number of people... Oh! Yes! Yes! I haven't told you this yet. There are only more than twenty people."
"Ah? Your Highness!" Quan Liu shouted anxiously after hearing this. "It seems that you are taking these people out for a trip?"
"Yes! Is there too many people?"
"No! You are the lord general of the dignified Weizhang Yiguo, this..."
"Wait a minute, Kwonji and Ohachi's lords went to visit. You don't need to bring a large number of people, otherwise you will be laughed at. You are just going to visit Kumano Kwon."
"but……"
"There's nothing good, but it's all right! I, Nobunaga, can get a thousand people by one, and there are more than twenty people. I think there are too many of these people. If I hadn't brought my luggage, I wouldn't have brought so many people."
Oda Nobunaga suppressed Quanji in a few words. In fact, no one understood why Oda Nobunaga was so confident in his own safety, and this was also the reason why Oda Nobunaga had an incident in Honnoji when he was about to dominate the world in history (there were not many guards at that time, thus providing convenience for Akechi Mitsuhide's rebellion).
"Okay! Then everyone will come to Jinzang soon. I will bring some gold luggage. No! Don't put too much, just put eight boxes in the right place."
"What? Eight boxes of gold?" This shocked everyone again. Is this money too much?
"Silver, money is not suitable for travel, so we simply made it into Yongle money, which is easier to bring. For the others, one box of money and one box of silver, that's all."
At this time, no one dared to speak again. Because they knew that no matter what they said, Oda Nobunaga would not accept it. With this large sum of gold, would he have to donate it to Kumano Quanqian?... No! He would never be so stupid! Everyone was thinking so.
Anyway, no one will understand what he is thinking.
In fact, this time, Oda Nobunaga went to Kyoto to meet the two of them separately under the name of worship.
One of them is naturally the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshiki. Although Oda Nobunaga had already met Ashikaga Yoshiki last year, the meeting this time was different. After all, the Oda family defeated the Imakawa family, who was trying to seize Ashikaga Yoshiki's world, thus protecting Ashikaga Yoshiki's ownership of the world in the great righteousness.
In fact, it would be absolutely wrong if Oda Nobunaga asked Ashikaga Yoshiki for such a request for contributions from Ashikaga Yoshiki (just to obtain political capital such as official positions). It should be noted that the Imakawa family can be regarded as a famous family among famous families. At that time, the Muromachi period was always circulating, "The Imakawa (the general) Shi Jue should recommend Kira, and Yoshiki should recommend Imakawa." If Imakawa Yoshimoto was really successful in the Hiroshiro, with his family and his own power, he could have become a new shogun, and Ashikaga Yoshiki's fate would inevitably be very miserable (almost deceased). Therefore, Oda Nobunaga really saved Ashikaga Yoshiki's life. Oda Nobunaga so good at seizing political capital, naturally no longer let it go.
Part of the coins carried this time was naturally dedicated to Ashikaga Yoshiki in exchange for greater political capital. As for the remaining coins, they were dedicated to another person who needed to meet in Kyoto this time.
This person is even more important to Oda Nobunaga than Ashikaga Yoshiki, that is, the "resurrected from the dead" Mino viper Saito Dozo.
In fact, after Saito Dozomi disappeared, Saito Yoshirō tried his best to promote the death of the rich families in his territory to avoid causing unrest among the rich families in his territory. Although Saito Dozomi later intervened in Mino and spread a lot of rumors that he was still alive, Saito Yoshirō gradually controlled the entire Mino country.
Seeing that he had no hope for returning to Mino Country, Saito Dozo, who was temporarily hopeless, stayed in Kyoto with the support of the Luo family, and also sent someone to secretly contact Oda Nobunaga. When Oda Nobunaga confirmed that Saito Dozo was not dead yet, he was indeed shocked. Later, because Imakawa Yoshimoto's oppression on Ohara Kingdom became increasingly severe, Oda Nobunaga naturally put the "resurrection" of Saito Dozo aside.
However, this time, after he had just defeated Imakawa Yoshimoto and returned to Kiyoshi Castle, the messenger of Saito Dozomi who stayed outside Kiyoshi Castle immediately appeared in front of him and handed a secret letter from Saito Dozomi to Oda Nobunaga.
This letter was naturally congratulated by Saito Nobunaga Oda for defeating Imakawa Yoshimoto. Oda Nobunaga was not surprised that Saito Nobunaga, who was far away in Kyoto, could have learned that he had won so quickly, because in his opinion, this letter must have been written by Saito Nobunaga in advance and delivered to the garrison envoy who was staying near the city of Kiyosu. Once he won, the letter would naturally be delivered to him immediately. Once he had a false defeat, the letter would naturally not appear.
Of course, in addition to congratulating Oda Nobunaga on his victory, this letter also has another key point, which is to invite Oda Nobunaga to send people to Kyoto, where Saito Duo San as the master, jointly entertained the envoys of the Oda family and the Luo family to discuss the affairs of Mino Country.
"Hmph, it seems that this viper is still trying to return to Mino Country." After reading the letter, Oda Nobunaga sighed with a smile in his heart.
"In addition, the Luo family should not be underestimated. Although the other party is far away in Kyushu, its power is even stronger than the Imakawa family that he had just defeated! However, I really didn't expect that the Kyushu eagle was still deepening its influence on the areas near Kyoto. Did even Mino countries start to pay attention?"
Oda Nobunaga also knew about the influence of the Luo family in the Kyoto area. After all, with the help of Saito Dozo, the Oda family had already cooperated with the Luo family in Ohashi's business. However, this time, it seems that it was officially involved in political cooperation.
