Great name!

Chapter 37 Whirlpool
The news that Mino Viper was going to meet Oda Nobunaga spread quickly, and everyone who was still paying attention to the death of Hirate Masahide immediately discussed Mino Viper.

Sasana Narimasa came to Nobutora's side and said: "Master Tsuda, this is going to be troublesome. I heard that Mino Viper is ruthless. I am afraid that I have an ulterior motive for meeting the master of the family this time."

Nobutora nodded slightly. This meeting was a test between Saito Douzan and Oda Nobunaga. If Oda Nobunaga was too weak, Saito Douzan would take Oda Nobunaga hostage and control Owari.

However, Oda Nobunaga knew what his father-in-law was thinking, but after showing off his skills at Shotoku Temple, Saito Douzan immediately changed his attitude and began to strongly support Oda Nobunaga.

This time Oda Nobunaga will lead his elite troops to show off his muscles, and his iron artillery team will definitely go there. Now he can take a look at the appearance of the country-stealing thief Saito Douzan.

Takigawa Kazumasu on the side probably also thought of this. He reminded: "I thought that when I met the master of the family in the Mino Palace, the drunkard's intention was not to drink. The master of the family must also know that, right?"

Sasana Narimasa thought about it carefully and said, "That's right. I'm afraid we'll have to follow when the time comes. The strength of the iron artillery team is enough to make Mino Palace fearful."

Nobuhu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, don't underestimate the head of the family, there will be no problem with the meeting at Shotoku Temple."

Sasaki Narimasa was surprised: "Master Tsuda, why are you so sure?"

Nobutora said in his heart: "This iron artillery team of three hundred people is enough to match thousands of people. Look at these iron cannons. Three hundred cannons are enough to recruit more than three thousand standing ashigaru. Mino Palace must know this iron artillery team." the value of.

By then, together with the five hundred elite ashigaru, there will be a total of eight hundred elites. As long as Mino Palace sees these eight hundred elites, they will not take action against the head of the family. "

Takigawa Yiyi nodded and said: "The eight hundred elites of the master of the family are indeed very strong. What Mr. Tsuda said makes sense."

Sasaki Narimasa was still a little worried and said: "But the former master was defeated at the hands of Mino Palace, so I am afraid that Mino Palace's conspiracy will be hard to guard against."

Tsuda Nobutora raised his hand and said: "Don't think so seriously. This time, Mino Palace just wants to see what the head of the family is capable of. As long as the head of the family shows enough strength, there will be no problem."

The two of them tentatively believed Nobutora's reasons, but their faces were still worried about the affairs of Shotoku Temple.

Nobuhu didn't say any more. He would be wrong if he spoke too much. He just had to do his own thing well.

After getting off duty, the colleagues Nobutora saw on his way home were still discussing the matter. Many of them were confused and didn't know if there was a way out by following Oda Nobunaga.

Nobuhu didn't say much, just said hello and returned home.

When he returned home, his younger brother Jiro handed over today's homework to Nobutora for review. Since last year, Nobutora has been teaching Jiro to learn Chinese and arithmetic. Up to now, general addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and simple equations are no longer a problem.

After checking the assigned homework, he nodded and said: "Yes, with your talents, you can already serve as an official at home. Now that the head of the family is in charge of the family's finances, he is in urgent need of a group of trustworthy officials. When the head of the family sees the Perfect Nong Palace, I will Recommend you to enter the appointment and carry out what you do."

Tsuda Nobutora's career in the military had reached a dead end, so he could only let his younger brother transfer to internal affairs. The two brothers relied on each other, one inside and one outside.

Tsuda Jiro immediately asked for orders: "Brother, I want to be like my elder brother and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield!"

Xinhu frowned slightly and advised: "You kid, do you think it's easy to go to the battlefield? The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. I won't avoid you just because you are my brother, Xinhu!"

Tsuda Jiro was still a little dissatisfied and said: "But I have learned martial arts for nearly ten years. If I work too hard on the documents, won't this martial arts be in vain?"

Tsuda Nobutora smiled and said: "Martial arts? What's the use of your natural power in front of my iron cannon? Jiro, times have changed, and martial arts no longer determines everything."

Tsuda Jiro was speechless when he heard this. He had seen iron cannons before, and when he saw that thing, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Seeing that Jiro was silent, Tsuda Nobutora explained: "You go and be a clerk first, and you will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield later." Jiro asked happily: "Really?"

Nobuhu nodded and said: "You don't understand the ambition of the master of the family, but I can see it clearly. In the future, you can strive for the position of leader of the Xiaohe Tuo Team. If you do this well, you can also make a contribution."

Tsuda Jiro was still a little frustrated, but he did not dare to disobey, so he nodded and said: "I listen to my brother."

Although Nobuhu felt a little sorry, he could only pat Jiro on the shoulder and said, "I'm doing this for your own good too."

"My little brother knows."

Axia, who was outside the door, saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and she immediately said: "It's time to eat."

Nobutora returned the homework to Jiro and responded: "Eat, eat!"

The solemn atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

……

The time for Saito Douzan and Oda Nobunaga to meet at Shotoku Temple was determined, and the time was set after spring plowing, that is, April 25th.

There are still more than two months left in April.

Guidi didn't expect that Oda Nobunaga was really going to see her father. The matter had already been decided and it was too late for her to persuade him.

Oda Nobunaga directly confirmed that Tsuda Nobutora, Sasana Narimasa, Maeda Toshiie and other mother-in-laws and 800 personal soldiers would accompany him. He did not bring any miscellaneous soldiers or veterans with him.

When Lin Xiuzhen heard the news, she became angry and cursed Oda Nobunaga as a fool. He knew that Oda Nobunaga was guarding against him or even abandoning himself. He would have no future under Oda Nobunaga.

"Oda Nobunaga, just wait, you will definitely be killed by Saito Toshimasa!"

"Listen, after he left Nagoya Castle, he sent people to Shotoku Temple to keep an eye on Oda Nobunaga. Once Oda Nobunaga is captured by Saito Toshimasa, he will immediately report back. At that time, as the elder of the pen family, I will summon other family elders to support Nobunaga. Come on, my lord!"

"I understand, little brother!"

Compared to Lin Xiuzhen, who was determined to overthrow Oda Nobunaga, there was another faction among the family elders.

Family elders like Naito, Sakuma and others are neutral fence-sitters. They know that they will not be reused by Oda Nobunaga, but they do not want to flatter Oda Nobunaga. No matter which family head comes to power, their power is there. , the new head of the family will still reuse them, so there is no need to fight.

Compared with the ownership of the family head, they are more concerned about the situation of the Oda family. Their lips are dying and their teeth are cold. Without the Oda Katsuhata family, these wealthy families are like phoenixes in trouble, worse than chickens.

At that time, in order to protect the Oda family, they will definitely abandon the detained Oda Nobunaga and support Oda Nobuyuki instead.

In addition to Nobutora's God's perspective, everyone in the Oda family began to take action. They were all trying their best to survive in this whirlpool that swept through the Oda family.
