Therefore, the Yangbei people who came specifically from the Xiayue area became the best candidates for this veteran.
A few hours later, in a dim secret room, a group of retainers from Kasugayama Castle mingled with Kuroda Hidetada, the current leader of the Yangbei Clan.
This Yangbei noble listened quietly to the description of Usami Sadami who came to visit him, and he already had the answer in his mind.
Kuroda Hidetada, the loyal retainer who quelled the Yangbei rebellion, said, "Indeed, if Lord Kagetora insists on sending troops to Mino, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of Echigo."
"...What do you mean, Kuroda-kun?"
Naoe Keitsuna on the side was the first to ask.
"The problem is actually very simple. It is to find out why Lord Jinghu is so arbitrary."
Kuroda Hidetada coldly put his hand to his neck and then made a gesture as if to wipe his neck.
"If Lord Jinghu has such a tyrannical character, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse to abandon Lord Qingjing and establish Lord Jinghu?"
Usami Sadami had already understood Kuroda Hidetada's proposal first. This wise general couldn't help but frown and said, "Your method is no different from treason!"
"No, no, no, my Lords, there is a misunderstanding."
Kuroda Hidetada shook his head, his face full of loyalty.
"I fought for Kagetora to quell the Northern Rebellion. I am definitely the most staunch Kagetora supporter. What I mean is—"
The next words of this loyal official from Yangbei caused a moment of silence among the crowd.
"If we kill the black-robed Prime Minister Axue, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Kill Axue, who is now at the peak of his career in Kasugayama Castle?
Everyone involved in the conspiracy looked at each other, appearing a little confused.
Since the Prime Minister in Black came out of seclusion with the Buddhist God of War, the first thing he did when he came to power was to completely solve the famine problem in Echigo Province and improve the people's livelihood issues in the entire Kasugayama Castle.
Axue, who is known as the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, is the most popular Echigo person among the people today.
Not to mention the ladies in the upper class and the wives of these retainers, every one of them is a fan club of the Black Prime Minister, who comes to the castle tower to give them lunch all day long, and in fact they just want to see the silver-haired monk.
He was also the sworn brother of Nagao Kagetora, the most popular person around the emperor.
If the assassination of the Black-robed Prime Minister were to be exposed, it would definitely be a terrifying thing.
At least everyone present had to endure Nagao Kagetora's endless wrath.
"I think this is ridiculous. We should have a better solution."
"Yes, yes. After all, the Prime Minister in Black is the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva. We will definitely go to hell if we do such a thing..."
Some retainers had already started to get scared and kept asking to withdraw from the conspiracy.
But when is the time for them to withdraw freely now?
Usami Sadami, Naoesuna and Kuroda Hidetada looked at each other and quickly took control of these retainers.
Once they walk out of this door and report to Nagao Kagetora, their future position in the Nagao family will be in jeopardy.
After tying up these guys who deserted the battlefield, the remaining group of retainers fully agreed with this plan.
Assassinating a child of around ten years old is indeed not an upright act.
However, the Echigo Kingdom was a country with a corrupt upper beam and crooked lower beams. Nagao Tameki made his fortune by overthrowing his superiors. These retainers who were familiar with him were not particularly evil, but they were definitely not just and kind.
Although the signature figures of Echigo Province today are Bishamonten King Nagao Kagetora and Manjushri Bodhisattva Ayuki.
But in fact, the leadership team behind the scenes is still the old ministers from the old era of Nagao Tamekage.
What despicable and dirty things did these old ministers not do when they followed Nagao Tamekage?
Assassinating a child?
That's called eliminating a political enemy!
But the most important thing is to see the attitudes of Naoe Kagetsuna and Usami Sadamichi.
As luck would have it, these two old ministers now have a great deal of resentment towards the Prime Minister in Black.
There is no need to mention Naoesuke Kagetsuna. He is a veteran minister of three generations and the first Minister of the Interior of Echigo Province. All matters in the country, big or small, must be approved by him before they can be implemented.
And now, the right to speak on domestic affairs has been snatched away by a ten-year-old child!
What's even more outrageous is that everyone actually calls him the Black Prime Minister?!
So where is Naoe Keitsuna's face?
His three generations of old ministers were not prime ministers, but that monk who returned to secular life became the prime minister?
And Usami Sadami had nothing to do with Axue.
He was a general in charge of foreign wars, and he thought that if he returned to the battlefield and came under Nagao Kagetora's command, he would be valued.
Where is the Jie Lao Guo?
Usami Sadami formulated the Shinano Front, a strategic strategy of sending troops to intervene in the Kai and Shinano provinces. Such a perfect strategic blueprint, a great plan that received unanimous approval from all the retainers, was rejected by the black-robed Prime Minister Axue alone!
Can Usami Teitami be accepted?
Lian Po is old, can he still eat?
A young boy who had never led an army in battle actually questioned the strategic vision of the old military advisor and even proposed to bypass Shinano Province and intervene in Mino Province. This was such a shocking and epoch-making strategy!
Yes.
You two brothers from Linquan Temple are well-read and have indeed made a series of political achievements since taking office.
But how can agricultural matters be compared with military matters?
You must know that Zhao Kuo once only talked about military affairs on paper, but hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers were killed by Bai Qi's orders!
It also earned him the title of God of Killing!
Usami Sadami did not want to see the Echigo army end up like this, being dragged into hell by the black-robed prime minister who was only good at talking about war on paper, and finally withdrawing from the front line of the Warring States period!
Therefore, the two important ministers did not need to say anything, and they knew each other's awareness with just a glance.
"I have a secret order that can mobilize the Xuanyuan ninjas to help."
Naoe Kagetsuna did not hide anything and immediately revealed his trump card.
The Xuanyuan ninjas are ninjas unique to Echigo Province.
It would be an extremely simple matter to assassinate the black-clad Prime Minister Axue.
"I can lead the imperial guards of Kasugayama Castle and directly surround the castle tower. There will be absolutely no way to retreat."
Usami Sadami had no reservations and went all out.
One is to send out ninja assassinations, and the other is to directly mobilize military power.
Kuroda Hidetada's eyes turned cold, and he took out a small knife and swore an oath with blood!
"Alright! My Lords! I, Kuroda Hidetada, will lead the charge on the day of the annual meeting! I will definitely behead that traitor!"
Then everyone present swore an oath of blood and shouted loudly:
"The Qing Dynasty is in trouble, and the country is in trouble!"
"The Qing Dynasty will be in trouble for the country!!"
"Clear the emperor's side and pacify the country!!!"
And then, Nagao Harukage, who was now under house arrest in the palace, coughed while holding the letter on his sickbed and said with ecstasy on his face -
"Hahaha! Kuroda Hidetada! You really didn't let me down!"
The letter in the hands of the now impoverished former head of the Nagao family was written by the Yangbei noble Kuroda Hidetada himself, and it detailed everything that happened today.
The assassination of the Black-robed Prime Minister Axue has been supported by most of the retainers in Kasugayama Castle!
Everyone knows that this black-robed prime minister has become the most popular person around Lord Jinghu at such a young age. As he grows older, these retainers will have no chance to make a name for themselves!
Overcoming the superior with the inferior is a tradition that must be experienced in Echigo!
However, these retainers did not expect that the loyal retainer Kuroda Hidetada, who seemed loyal on the surface and leaked the information to expose the rebellion of the Yangbei clan in Shimoetsu,
It was a chess piece that Nagao Harukage had placed many years ago!
This suspicious sick tiger is definitely not a real waste!
How could Nagao Harukage not have any countermeasures when these old ministers wanted to depose him and let Torachiyo of Rinsenji come out to inherit the family headship?
The rebellion of Xiayue Yangbeizhong was a deliberate move by Nagao Harukage!
He had planned it long ago.
If my father Nagao Tamekage dies, the people of Xiayue Yangbei will rise up in rebellion!
As long as Nagao Kagetora puts on armor and dies on the battlefield at the front line, the Nagao family will be in his pocket from then on!
However, if this happens, the entire Echigo Province will fall apart.
But Nagao Harukage can now sit firmly on the position of head of the family, and no one will compete with him for the throne of power!
Kuroda Hidetada was the important chess piece that Nagao Harukage had bribed long ago!
It seems that this loyal minister exposed the rebellion of Xiayue Yangbeizhong on the surface, but in fact Xiayue Yangbeizhong did not suffer any serious damage at all. Only some stupid abandoned pawns died!
The real Xia Yue Yang Bei people are still gathering their strength, waiting to launch a rebellion at any time!
And Kuroda Hidetada's purpose in coming to Kasugayama Castle at this moment was also very simple -
Then we must take advantage of the annual meeting to completely assassinate Nagao Kagetora!
"Who told you retainers to abandon me, Nagao Harukage!"
The frail head of the family gnashed his teeth, and blood of resentment and jealousy burst out from his lips, turning the expression of the former head of the family into one of madness.
"From now on, I will make sure that the entire Kasugayama Castle and the entire Echigo Kingdom will no longer have any trace of the Buddhist Martial God!"
"Tora Chiyo, ah Torachiyo, you actually want to beat your brother?! You actually want to beat me, Nagao Harukage!"
"Just die with that black-robed chancellor!"
Chapter 4600: Will you become a demon king for me? (
"Is this... a matchlock?"
Oda Nobunaga was playing with the cannon in his hand. The tomboy sniffed the fresh lacquer on it and finally jumped up and down on the spot with joy like a girl.
"Prime Minister in Black, you're really nice! This is a replica from Tanegashima! Tanegashima only produces a few dozen matchlock guns a year these days, and you managed to get hold of something this valuable!"
The matchlock gun is a weapon brought by the southern barbarians, so naturally Tanegashima has mastered the most advanced imitation technology.
Of course, Tanegashima could not monopolize this technology, so naturally there were second-hand counterfeits that imitated the matchlock guns made by Tanegashima.
However, among the many imitations, the matchlock gun produced by Tanegashima is the best. The burst rate and accuracy are both guaranteed in quality, and are not much different from the original.
And Axue, who was far away in Echigo Province, was able to get a matchlock gun produced in Tanegashima. This really shows the connections and abilities he possesses!
"Didn't I tell you before? I'll exchange my arquebus for seeds from Owari Province."
Axue smiled slightly and said.
"Now, Lord Oda, I will give you this matchlock gun as a gift for self-defense, as per our original agreement."
“…Good brother!”
Upon hearing this, Oda Nobunaga was instantly moved.
The girl quickly looked around and found that Nagao Kagetora was not with them. She then carefully leaned close to Axue's ear and said seriously:
"Hey, do you want to come to Owari Province and join me?"
“…Huh?”
Axue looked stunned, obviously not expecting Oda Nobunaga to say such a thing.
"You and I are of similar age and have similar interests. We both have unique insights into agriculture and matchlock guns. Prime Minister Black, you are simply wasting your time in Echigo Province!"
Oda Nobunaga was not joking, and the girl with black hair and red eyes was very serious.
"I'm not really a fool. At least I know that you're having a hard time in Kasugayama Castle. Although the common people admire you, the nobles of Echigo Province don't like you, right?"
Axue frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Oda Nobunaga, who seemed to be here for a vacation, actually had such a detailed investigation behind the scenes.
