Chapter 428 Oda Nobunaga

Chapter 428 Oda Nobunaga
The emergence of the three coalition forces caused a stir on the main island. After all, no one dared to ignore a military alliance of such a scale. Even Takeda and Uesugi tacitly mobilized an elite force each to respond. However, the three coalition forces wrestled with each other in the blink of an eye to form a new balance, as if there was no difference from before.

All of this was manipulated by Yan Xu behind the scenes. He was like a chess player who had already regarded the main island as a chessboard and started placing pieces everywhere.

Right now the coalition forces of the Mori clan and the Amago clan were just like in an exercise. Although there were many fights, there were no casualties. On the contrary, the two major coalition forces launched a heavy blow against the third coalition force composed mainly of Tayama and Rokkaku.

Generally speaking, the three parties were fighting each other so fiercely that they had no time to care about others, because Yan Xu did not intend to continue to stimulate the increasingly sensitive nerves of other forces.

Everyone is playing badly, but you are the only one who is so competitive. If not you, who else should I target?

There should be both looseness and relaxation, nine shallow and one deep, this is the right way, Yan Xu knew this well.

However, given the size of the three coalition forces, even a simple collision would cause bigger and bigger storms, which spread to the surroundings, causing many people to become restless.

Under the influence of the three major coalitions, more and more daimyo are considering whether to form a similar coalition, because except for overlord-level daimyo like Takeda and Uesugi, no one can withstand the attack of any coalition.

Of course, there are also those who choose to seize the opportunity to start a war, hoping to gain great strength by annexing their neighbors.

As the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

Although the main island is turbulent, there will always be people who can seize the opportunity and ride on the wind to become the most powerful trendsetters of the contemporary era.

The Japanese world did not exist in real history, so the forces and characters are somewhat confusing, but the talents and brilliance of some people cannot be concealed, such as Oda Nobunaga.

At present, the Oda family is just a small force in a corner. None of the small daimyo in the three coalition forces are weaker than the Oda family, and some are even stronger. Therefore, the Oda family has been unknown until a big fool began to show his unique personal charm and brilliant ideas.

Although it was a remote rural area, under the willfulness of Oda Nobunaga, the Oda family was the first force to use firearms on a large scale in the army, and was also the one that separated the military and civilians most thoroughly. He also used this to achieve a crucial victory, initially secure his position as daimyo, and gained considerable fame.

However, Oda Nobunaga has always been criticized for his rudeness and willfulness. The retainers and samurai who strictly observe etiquette do not like this unreliable lord. After all, it is difficult to trust someone who can do something out of line at his father's funeral.

But this person seemed to be favored by fate. He was always able to turn danger into safety and use his achievements and facts to make those people shut up.

Yan Xu naturally knew this person. He had sent people to look for the demon sword Muramasa. Of course, this big fool Owari would not miss it and had already taken action.

The ninjas who followed the orders had used poison, set traps, and tried almost every method except taking action themselves, but the targets always escaped these assassinations with unbelievable luck, and were even unaware of it.

After knowing this, Yan Xu planned to do it himself, but the reluctant reaction of the Japanese world consciousness made him give up the idea.

Yan Xu was not afraid. As the small world where he had stayed the longest, this place had already left a deep mark of his, which could be seen from the reaction of the consciousness of the Japanese world.

The world in the late Qing Dynasty gave Dao Lei a warning, but the Japanese world said no with their mouths, but their bodies were actually very honest.

What really made Yan Xu give up the idea was that he realized that he could make use of this destined man from Owari.

The script of the Japanese world consciousness has been written, and Oda Nobunaga, the protagonist of the early stage, also began to appear on the stage.

At this time, he would jump up and kick the leading actor off the stage, and then he would have to take over the role himself.

It would be fine if he was the destiny man for the big world, at least he couldn't refuse the benefits. The small world of Japan was almost his back garden, and when he was about to become the owner of a theater, what was the point of suddenly running onto the stage to grab a role?
It would be better to keep this destined person to overthrow the two overlords, Takeda and Uesugi, and then he can come out to clean up the mess.

That's why Yan Xu temporarily suppressed the implementation of the unification strategy and prepared to speed up the growth of Oda Nobunaga, allowing him to complete his destiny as soon as possible, and then go to Honnoji to receive the award and complete the filming.

As for whether he will get out of control, that's just a joke. Once Yan Xu has the ability to flip the table, the main island becomes a table game. Even if there are one or two powerful chess pieces, they can't jump up and hit him.

In the Owari Oda clan, Oda Nobunaga was wearing a dusty hunting suit, fiddling with a bow and arrow while receiving merchants from the Moroboshi clan. This appearance made his retainers dare not speak out because it was too rude.

The island nation is poor, and with material needs difficult to meet, the only way to distinguish status is through strict rules and etiquette, showing a strict class system. So when faced with a lord who likes to mess around, no one will not have a headache, and no one will like him.

Before the merchants from the Moroboshi family arrived, they already knew the character and style of the Owari daimyo, so they didn't care about these things, but directly took out the list of goods they brought.

At this time, a handsome young man came over and brought the list of goods to Oda Nobunaga.

Seeing the things handed to him, Oda Nobunaga curled his lips, put down the bow in his hand and picked up the list of goods, then immediately widened his eyes and said in surprise.

"Are you planning to clear out Owari?!"

It is no wonder that Oda Nobunaga was so surprised, because the amount of goods provided by the Moroboshi family far exceeded the Oda family's ability to bear. It can be said that they could not even afford a fraction of it. After all, the Oda family was just a daimyo in a remote countryside. They had the title of daimyo but lacked the corresponding strength and foundation.

Even if Oda Nobunaga had not become famous in the Battle of Okehazama, probably not many people would know who he was until now.

"The lord admires Oda Daimyo's ability to accept new things and his promotion and use of firearms, so he can provide a loan." The person in charge of this matter is Nomura. He used to be a peddler, but this time he returned to his old job and conducted business with the Oda family on behalf of the Moroboshi family.

Rather than calling it a commercial trade, it would be more accurate to say that the Moroboshi family made a venture investment in the Oda family, because given the current size of the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga might not be able to pay it off even if he lived to death.

Nomura was puzzled by this until he met Oda Nobunaga himself, and then he began to admire his lord's decision-making and foresight.

Never underestimate anyone who can leave his name in history. Even if they die of stupidity, they are still among the stupidest people in history.

Therefore, Oda Nobunaga, who was called the Great Fool of Owari, also possessed certain qualities that ordinary people could not achieve. Otherwise, how could he have secured the position of daimyo by luck alone.

However, all of these are masked by his unique style of doing things and his arbitrary character, and only a few people can perceive the unknown side hidden behind his curious style.

At this moment, the retainers and samurai of the Oda family also saw the list of goods and immediately gasped.

I looked up at my lord, hmm, he is still so out of tune.

Looking down at the manifest, their lord was worth so much?

No matter what, the Oda family had no reason to refuse. Several retainers even put their hands on the samurai swords at their waists. If their lord, who always did things unexpectedly, dared to say no, they would risk their lives to force him to die. Well, they would first kill the unreasonable lord, and then commit seppuku to apologize. Anyway, the things on the list must remain in the Oda family, even if they had to replace the daimyo.
