Hattori Yashiro, who is known as the Tsugaru family's 'incomparably good minister', if it weren't for Hattori Hanzo's persuasion, I'm afraid he would rather die in the prison cell of the Yanhuang family than surrender to the Yanhuang family, such a person can be regarded as a true loyal person in troubled times.

It's a pity that Hattori Yasujo, who was born at the wrong time, had to give up his inner attachment under the persuasion of his eldest son, and threw himself into the arms of the Yanhuang family;

After successfully persuading the three captives in the cell, Hakuho first asked Izumiyama Masayoshi to escort the three to the castle tower to rest, and then took Thales and Nanbu Toshinao back to his mansion.

The former Tsugaru family's Oura Sansho and military advisor Yumitsu Numata, as well as Hattori Yasuki and his sons, will participate in the judging meeting, as will the former Shiba family's Shikuda Kanyasu, Kunohe Yasuma, and Iwashimizu Yoshiyo.

It is said that it is an evaluation meeting to discuss the future development direction of the Yanhuang family, but in fact it is a reshuffle of the internal forces of the Yanhuang family; the retainers who have newly joined the Yanhuang family need to be properly resettled, and the old ministers of the Yanhuang family need to get more benefits.

The interests and strength of the three old ministers of the Yanhuang family, Nanfang Rizhi, Sanada Masayuki, and Quanshan Gukang, must be further improved; otherwise, the new foreign forces that joined the city of Rome will turn against the guest and have the strength to control the Yanhuang family.

How to distribute the interests within the Yanhuang family and maintain a stable and balanced situation between the old and new forces within the Yanhuang family is the purpose of Bai Feng's evaluation meeting tonight, and it is also a practical problem that he must solve before leaving the Mutsu Kingdom.

Upon his return to the mansion, Thales proposed to Hakuho to expand the number and quality of the samurai under his command, which Hakufeng agreed with and asked him to increase the number of samurai to three hundred within three days.

The shortage of 200 samurai could be drawn directly from the captives or demanded from other commanders, and it was a great thing for Nanbu Nobunao and Sanada Masayuki to be able to let his family's samurai enter the family governor's personal guard.

Although Hakumine would not specifically interfere with Thales' expansion of the size of the samurai, he gave Thales an order that must be carried out, that is, to transfer Hattori Heiji, the second son of Hattori Yasujo, to the pro-guard camp and take up the same positions as Nanbu Rinao and Izumiyama Masayoshi.

Thales, who was in charge of commanding all the samurai, could not personally command the samurai, so Minami Toshinao, Izumiyama Masayoshi, and Hattori Heiji were the direct commanders of the samurai, and each of them had the same number of samurai under his command of a hundred.

Bai Feng's intention in this move is very obvious, that is, to win over Hattori Kangcheng and Hattori Hanzo, especially Hattori Hanzo, he is the most suitable candidate for the commander of the Yanhuang family's ninja force in Bai Feng's heart, such a talent is not to be wooed.

Efficiency has always been Thales' strength, and this time was no exception, and before nightfall, Thales, who had been busy for less than two hours, brought back Hattori Heiji and two hundred samurai from various families, completing the expansion of the scale of the samurai of the pro-guard battalion.

In fact, the temptation of the family governor's personal guard to the warriors of the Yanhuang family was far beyond Bai Feng's imagination; not only the important ministers of the Nanbu Shinzhi and other families valued it, but even ordinary samurai were proud to be the family governor's personal guard, and the pursuit of honor and status was the lifelong appeal of the samurai.

The matter of expanding the size of the warriors of the pro-guard battalion ended so easily, and Bai Feng didn't care about this matter, what he was concerned about was the upcoming evaluation conference, which would be an important meeting that would affect the development of the Yanhuang family in the next few years.

The time of the assessment meeting was seven o'clock in the evening, and Bai Feng, who was a little confused, came to the assessment room half an hour early, but as soon as he walked into the assessment room, he found that the assessment room was already full of retainers who were attending the meeting tonight.

Bai Feng, who walked into the assessment room without saying a word, sat on his own main seat, he glanced at the two rows of retainers sitting opposite the assessment room, the one on the right was the old ministers of the Yan Huang family, and the one on the left was the new ministers who had just joined the Yan Huang family.

"Since everyone has come to the assessment room in advance, let's hold tonight's assessment meeting half an hour early. As Bai Feng's order was issued, the retainers in the assessment room immediately straightened their waists and began to salute Bai Feng in unison.

After the ceremony, the retainers on both sides of the assessment room returned to their positions, and the importance of etiquette was also a representative characteristic of the samurai class of the Yamato Empire, and it was also the reason why Bai Feng had a good impression of the samurai.

"This evaluation meeting is the first evaluation meeting held after the smooth reunification of the Mutsu Kingdom by our Yanhuang family, so before discussing other matters, I will first reward the meritorious people here!"

"Hey!" The battle of reunification in which almost everyone had merit made the retainers in the assessment room look happy.

"Minami Toshinao, Sanada Masayuki, and Izumiyama Koyasu, the three of you are the first contributors to the family's smooth unification of the Mutsu Kingdom, and in recognition of your merits, all three of you have been promoted to the elder of the family, and continue to serve as the lord of your respective castle!"

"Thank you for the generous reward!" The three people who were named by Bai Feng naturally stood up with ruddy faces and thanked them for receiving the reward.

"Shikita Kantai, Kunohe Yasuma, and Iwashimizu Yoshito, the three of you are the meritorious servants of the family's successful elimination of the Spo family, and in recognition of your merits, Shikuda Kantai was promoted to the elder of the family, and Kunohe Yasuma and Iwashimizu Yoshikyo were promoted to the family generals. ”

"Thank you for the generous reward!" Among the three people, only nine households Kangzhen called Bai Feng the lord, which Bai Feng knew well.

"Hattori Yasaki, Numata Yumitsu, Kanehira Tsunori, Ogasawara Nobuyoshi, and Morioka Nobumoto, all five of you are important ministers of the Hara Tsugaru family, but I believe in your ability and loyalty, so I have promoted you five to be the elders of the family. ”

"Hiss......" Bai Feng's generosity was beyond the imagination of everyone in the assessment room, so much so that after his appointment of Hattori Yasushi and the other five people was announced, the entire assessment room resounded with a neat and uniform gasp and a hiss, even Hattori Yasushi and the others themselves were in disbelief.

"Family Governor ......" Hattori Yasujo, who was the first to react, just wanted to excuse himself, but Bai Feng interrupted: "With your ability to be qualified for the position of the head of the family, I believe that you will not live up to my trust, what do you say?"

"Swear allegiance to the lord!" Under the leadership of Hattori Yasushi, Numata Yumitsu and others swore allegiance to Hakuho on the spot.

"Nanbu Toshinao, Izumiyama Masayoshi, and Hattori Heiji, the three of you, as the samurai commanders of the pro-guard battalion, took the lead in the battle of unification and showed bravery, and in recognition of your merits, all three of you were promoted to the rank of family general. ”

"Swear allegiance to the lord! swear allegiance to the family!" the three young warriors used their oath to accept Bai Feng's praise.
