Chapter 873
Coincidentally, when Akechi Mitsuhide and his wife first arrived in Kyoto, they were recognized by a retainer of Saito Shima Misaki who was going out for business. As several retainers who have been with Saito Domisaki for a long time, they naturally recognized many wealthy families in Mino Country, so he had really seen Akechi Mitsuhide and knew that this person was the in-laws of his lord. When his lord was fair and needed manpower, such talents would naturally be taken over by his lord.
So after secretly following Akichi Mitsuhide and determined their residence, the retainer immediately returned to Saito Dosan's residence and reported the situation to his lord Saito Dosan. After hearing the report from his retainer, Saito Dosan immediately understood the experience of Akichi Mitsuhide and his wife. After all, Saito Dosan had just sent someone to Mino Country to spread rumors, so he naturally knew about the experience of Akichi's family. So after a little consideration, Saito Dosan asked the retainer to invite Akichi Mitsuhide and his wife to come over to calculate the next itinerary and Kawazi's husband and his wife.
Suddenly meeting his old lord in Kyoto area, and learning that his old lord was not killed, and seeing his aunt here, Akichi Mitsuhide was naturally very happy. The two families were also sighing because of the changes they had encountered before. After some reminiscing about the past, Saito Dao San suggested that Akichi Mitsuhide take office to the Luo family, who was already at the peak of his current life. After all, Saito Dao San was just relying on others and accepting the relief of the Luo family.
With the help of the Luo family alone, it would be great to be able to raise a few of Saito Dao San's own female relatives and two underage children. Moreover, I had to save some coins to use Saito Dao San's own operations. Thinking of this, Saito Dao San had to thank his son-in-law Masaro, as if this son-in-law was interested in funding some of his operations in Mino. So he gave him great support in coins and even intelligence, so that his affairs could be carried out smoothly.
But even so, if a retainer like Akechi Mitsuhide who is not useful for the time being is added, it will be a burden for Saito Dozo. What's more, even if he is a relative of the wife, Saito Dozo does not completely believe Akechi Mitsuhide in his heart. Moreover, Saito Dozo can be seen from the conversation with Akechi Mitsuhide that this young man has high ambitions. It is impossible for him to leave the other party with his situation at this time. So after some consideration and with Akechi Mitsuhide's consent, Saito Dozo recommended Akechi Mitsuhide to the Luo family.
When Moritaro in Kyoto delivered Akichi Mitsuhide's letter of praise and recommendation letter from Saito Dozo to Masarara, it was early April of the second year of Hongzhi (1556). At this time, the Nagato Kingdom and Zhou Fangguo were also gradually stable in addition to the wild dragon castle and macao that were still resisting, Masarara had sent a large number of military forces to carry out special cleaning of the mountain fu (that is, bandits, mainly composed of fleeing refugees and dispersed enemy soldiers) in these two areas. For this reason, the slave team of the Luo family added a lot of members, and these large-scale construction of the territory that followed the Luo family increased a lot of free labor.
After receiving Akechi Mitsuhide's letter of seeking office, Masara was first surprised. He had never expected that this great man from history would actually join the Luo family. At the same time, Masarara also remembered that Akechi Mitsuhide did indeed plan to become an official in the Maori family after the Battle of Itsujima.
At that time, Mori Moon interviewed Akechi Mitsuhide himself, but in the end he did not make it available. At that time, some retainers were not admitted to Akechi Mitsuhide when they saw Akechi Mitsuhide being so outstanding, so they raised doubts to Mori Moon.
This is how Maorimoto replied: "The word "Miao" by Shibing Wei Mitsuhide is very good, she is smart and smart, and she is both civil and military. His achievements in the future will definitely not be inferior to me. However, I saw that his face was sinister, and he looked at the wolf, and his emotions were not reflected in his expression. This kind of person has a wolf side in his personality, but he is still asleep inside. When he wakes up in the future, the first person to swallow is his master."
Although I don’t know if this passage was fabricated, at least in history, Mori Moon did politely decline Akichi Mitsuhide’s request for officialdom. And Mitsuhide also shattered Oda Nobunaga’s ambitions and launched the Honnoji rebellion, which seemed to have really devoured his master. Of course, Masara would not determine Akichi Mitsuhide’s character just because he knew that Mori Moon had just such a passage about Akichi Mitsuhide. But Masara also had his own considerations.
First of all, Masaru is not clear about Akichi Mitsuhide's situation. Judging from some historical information, Akichi Mitsuhide's concept tends to be traditional and conservative, but Akichi Mitsuhide is too untouchable. This is known from his motivation to initiate the rebellion of Honnoji until later generations have been studied by later generations for a long time. In this case, Masaru is unwilling to have such a person beside him who is likely to be unable to master, which is equivalent to giving him a visit.
When installing a time bomb, Masarara did not want to be suddenly hit hard by his retainers from behind. Although according to the military system of the Luo family at this time, the generals could not lead troops without the letter of order and bans from the Military Pavilion and Masarara, unless they were actively attacked by the enemy. But as a resourceful person, they always don’t like to have elements that they cannot control and uncertain. In this regard, Masarara and Saito Daozo are similar.
Secondly, Masara did not like Akechi Mitsuhide. Because in his opinion, Akechi Mitsuhide's coup launched for some reason caused his wife and children to suffer disaster. After the Honnoji Incident, Akechi Mitsuhide's four sons were all killed. Even his daughter who escaped by chance was accompanied by her life's infamousness and ultimately could not escape the fate of **. His other relatives also suffered hardships in the next few decades (although later a niece Kasuga Bureau was released, indirectly helped him avenge). Masarara still despised a man who could not guarantee his wife and children even in this cannibalistic Warring States period.
Of course, Masara cannot deny the excellence of Akira Mitsuhide's talent. In history, he will also be a famous general. Later records about him are more smearing information, mainly because he was deliberately smeared by Toyotomi Hideyoshi who later took control of the regime. Masarara will not completely believe these records that are obviously smearing.
However, Masara was still influenced by Akichi Mitsuhide's deeds betrayed Oda Nobunaga in his original history and was unwilling to put an unstable factor around him. So Masara finally decided not to use Akichi Mitsuhide. Of course, Masara also planned to help this famous general in history, so he wrote a letter to order the Morita Takashi in Kyoto to recommend Akichi Mitsuhide to the twelfth generation shogunate general Akichi Yoshihide to the twelfth generation shogunate general Akichi Yoshihide. I believe that Akichi Yoshihide, who is in urgent need of talents, would be very happy to use Akichi Mitsuhide as a talent, and thus deepen his favorability for the Luo family.
According to the information found by the Black Hawk lurking in Kyoto, the general Ashikaga Yoshihide has been secretly recruiting talents recently. These talents include samurai, cockfighter, and even sing masters. As long as they have certain skills, Ashikaga Yoshihide has been trying hard to increase his own power after receiving a large amount of money and food secretly supported by the Luo family, Ashikaga Yoshihide was full of energy and increasing his own power. Of course, in order to avoid excessive stimulation, in order to avoid controlling the Miyo family in Kyoto area at this time, Ashikaga Yoshihide also listened to some previous suggestions from the Luo family and secretly developed his own power as much as possible. In this era, ordinary daimyos do not pay much attention to the so-called intelligence capabilities, which can be seen from the low treatment of ninjas in many places. The Miyosho family also happens to be such a daimyo, so the Miyosho family has not noticed Ashikaga Yoshi's series of secret actions until now.
As Masaru expected, after Akichi Mitsuhide performed his iron cannon skills, he was immediately recruited by Akichi Yoshiki Yoshiki and directly awarded him the Football General. This made Akichi Mitsuhide and his wife very happy. Akichi Mitsuhide was also very grateful to the Luo family for everything they did for him.
Since then, Akichi Mitsuhide stayed in Kyoto, training the iron artillery team for the general, while fascinating with his aides and ministers while dating. Just after Akichi Mitsuhide finally settled down in Kyoto, his original master, Saito Dozo, revealed his fangs that were being knocked out again. (To be continued...)
