Chapter Seventy-Two: Devon City
"What! Corpse fraud? With a bang, Hosokawa Nobumoto opened the barrier in disheveled clothes.
"How is that possible! The heads have been cut off, and if you don't listen to the wind and rain here, go and find out where the rumors came from. "Hosokawa Nobumoto is a person from the past, and he doesn't believe in these ghosts and heresies at all.
"It's the real lord.,The subordinates didn't believe it at first.,Later, Hattori-sama went to implement it himself.。 It is said that a few days ago, in Mikawa Okazaki Castle, Matsudaira Motoyasu suddenly appeared, scared away the Yamada Shinemon of the Imagawa family, and took Okazaki Castle. Kibei spoke in detail about Hattori's investigation, which sounded more true and reliable.
"Hanzo! Hanzo! Hosokawa Nobumoto left feeling that something was strange and wanted to find out.
Suddenly, a ninja emerged from the grass in the courtyard. "My lord! Hanzo has been sent by you to carry out a mission in the country of Mikawa, and now his subordinates are temporarily in charge of the lord's security. ”
"Oh, it's Goemon, okay, you go and implement it, what's going on? Remember! To get accurate information, to see people, to see if it's Matsudaira Motoyasu himself. Hosokawa Nobumoto was still not at ease, and specially instructed Ishikawa Ming to steal, after all, this is related to the future development direction.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I'll do it! After saying that, Ishikawa Akira summoned a few hidden ninjas, instructed a few words, and went to Okazaki Castle again to verify the authenticity.
Two days later, the news came. Matsudaira Motoyasu is genuine, and he also sent troops to constantly harass the territory of the Oda family, trying to attack the castle of the Oda family.
When Hosokawa Nobumoto learned the news, he was stunned for a while, "I'll wipe it!" It's the Shadow Warrior who died! I see,No wonder it can be won by Nakajima Kiyonobu and Kagawa Tadaji.,Their swordsmanship is average.,I thought they hit the luck.,Mark Six lottery.。 ”
"My lord! Nakajima-sama and Kagawa-sama ask to meet. "There was a voice outside the door that approached Miyamorimaru.
"Well, let them in." Hosokawa Nobumoto had already guessed their intentions.
Sure enough, because of the reward, it was already criticized for jumping a few levels, and now it has been confirmed that the head is fake, and some people wonder if they sold their butts to the lord. Originally, Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't care and didn't want to withdraw the reward, but now he is high-spirited and a little fluttering, and he doesn't even listen to the words of Yoshida Sokatsu, let alone the people below. But in the end, Hosokawa Nobumoto felt that he still obeyed the will of the people, and agreed to demote them by another level, in fact, he mainly cared about other people's misunderstanding of selling butts.
Later, Hosokawa Nobunaga took the initiative to find Oda Nobunaga and asked to send troops to destroy Matsudaira Motoyasu, but somehow he was refused. I had no choice but to come back and continue to train the soldiers and horses, who let Hosokawa Nobumoto not have the right to send troops on his own now.
"Ready! Shoot! "Whoosh! On the training ground in the Great High City, the newly recruited 100 archers are training, and now the Great High City has finally been built after a year of expansion.
"Lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to recruit a large number of mercenaries from other places, right?" Kibei, who was serving on the side, raised the doubts in his heart.
Hosokawa Nobumoto glanced at it appreciatively, Kibei was a resourceful man he focused on cultivating. "If you have any ideas, let's hear them."
"Yes, my subordinates believe that the recruited personnel are not based on their homeland, and I am afraid that this loyalty cannot be guaranteed. Second, if the number of soldiers is too single, I am afraid that regional factions will be formed, and they will monopolize the power in our army. Third...... The subordinates haven't thought about it yet. Kibei lowered his head embarrassedly, he likes to say one, two, three in everything, this is learned from Honda Masashi, and the strategy must be divided into up, middle and bottom.
"Well, that's right, but the family is just starting now, and if you want to develop rapidly, there will definitely be this kind of deformity in the early stage. After a period of transition, local recruitment will come up, and there will be no problems. Moreover, Iga was originally a distribution center for mercenaries, and the advantage was that they were instilled with the idea of serving their employers from an early age; secondly, he has received harsh training since he was a child and has a high combat quality; In the end, the generals of the army have been following me since childhood, and they can strictly obey my orders, even if they die. Moreover, the implementation of "Hosokawa Military Law" is also extremely thorough, and it has made a good start, even if it is recruited locally in the future, it can also play a leading role in demonstration. Hosokawa Nobumoto sat on the shogun's platform and said as he looked at the bow and ashiki who was training below.
"The lord is right." Kibei also looked at the training bow and said with a sense of understanding.
"By the way, my lord, the construction of the new Dagao City is complete, what should it be called? Is it still called Da Takajo? "Kibei is not like other people who are only submissive and dare not speak in front of the lord, on the contrary, he has something to say.
Hosokawa Nobumoto was also happy to have someone chatting with him, thought for a while and said, "Let's call it Las Vegas." "I remembered the famous city that never sleeps.
"Pull ~ pull ~ pull?" Kibei didn't pull it out for a long time.
"What a stupid! It's called Las Vegas! A few of you can talk about it too. After speaking, he said to the people who were close to him and the little surname.
"Pull~." "Pull?" "Pull!" "La-la-la, la-la." There's a guy who's almost ready to sing "Selling Newspaper Song".
"Forget it, forget it. Square peg. So what should it be called? You all give me something to think about! Hosokawa Nobumoto reluctantly denied this epoch-making name, there was no way, and he and Oda Inu would be called by the name of the castle in the future. You can't have a lot of people who can't say it for a long time, it's very rude, and it's not very nice to say it.
"My lord! It is better to call it Devon City, which means that the lord has both virtue and ability, both civil and military, and my Hosokawa family must be under the leadership of the lord with one heart and one mind, and the same text and track. In the distance, Yoshida Munegui's voice was heard, and he came in from outside the camp, as if something was important.
"Good! It's called Devon City! Master Yoshida, but is there anything important at home? I'm sorry to come by in person. Hosokawa Nobumoto immediately adopted the new name of the castle.
"My lord, my family has received an order from General Yihui, asking my family to send troops to Shangluo." Sokatsu Yoshida said a shocking news.
"What! General Yoshiki's edict! Doesn't he know that I've been married to the Oda family again? Just go over to the lord and give me an order? Hosokawa Nobumoto's head was big when he heard it, and others might feel honored, but he knew that this was simply a flying disaster. Disobeying the general's orders is regarded as a big sin, and sending troops behind the lord's back is a major taboo for the ministers.
"This Nima is a dead end." Suddenly, Hosokawa Nobumoto felt that something was wrong, the general had never recruited him before, why was he suddenly so anxious now? I vaguely smelled of conspiracy.
