"Surrender..."Looking at the useless son, Yamana Yufeng has lost all hopes, but he still has to keep the name of his Yamana family.

Soon, it was conveyed to Nobumoto Hosokawa.

"Really... Tell Yamana Yutoyo that it's okay to surrender, but Inaba and Tajima I will take it all back, and I can only keep the identity of his son as a samurai and serve as a flank of the family. Hosokawa Nobumoto said unceremoniously, domineeringly confiscating everything from the Yamana family.

"Yes! Your Majesty will go and convey the decision of the lord! "Honda Masanobu entered Ariko Mountain Castle as a messenger.

"What... What the! Change me! When Yamana Yutoyo learned about it, he suddenly got up and clenched his fists with excitement.

It is easier to change, lighter than seppuku, and heavier than stinging. Those who were punished by the change were removed from the title of samurai and demoted to commoners, and their domains, real estate, and families were confiscated, and their retainers naturally lost their families and became ronin.

"Just... Can't it be resealed? Even if it's just to leave a county for the family..."Yamana Yutoyo finally sat down helplessly, now it's the people who are the swords, and I the fish and the meat.

Transsealing is also a heavier punishment, also known as the state substitution, the substitution. When the feud was transferred, the retainers moved with the lord, but the peasants in the realm were forbidden to move. The change and transfer favored the unified regime of the daimyo.

"No! The will of the lord must be carried out! There must be no compromises! If you don't agree with the Yamana Palace, then you can only regret your resignation! Honda Masanobu waved his hand, interrupting Yutoyo Yamana's unrealistic thoughts.

"It's... This... Okay..."Yamana Yutoyo was paralyzed, and suddenly he was ten years old, at least his son still retained his samurai identity.

"Let's go, Yaoxi! Remember! Be loyal to the Lord in the future! If you dare to have two hearts! Watch out for the lives of your whole people! Honda Masanobu directly waved at Yamana Yaoxi and got up to leave.

"Father... Take care..."Yamana Yaoxi nodded resignedly, and quickly followed Honda Masanobu.

"Hey..."Yutoyo Yamana, who left a lonely one...

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"We! Victory! Yoshida shouted loudly.

"Bah! Creak! Oh! "Bah! Creak! Oh! The whole army shouted three times, and it resounded in the sky!

"Hahaha! Triumph! Back to the teacher! Hosokawa Nobumoto rode a BMW "Hurricane", and this time he went back by land, which can highlight the majesty of the Hosokawa family.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Honda-sama, I don't know what Yagata-sama thinks of Inaba Province... How will it be arranged? On the way back to the army, the apprehensive Yamana Toyokuni banquet invited Honda Masanobu, an important minister and chief military advisor of the Hosokawa family, to explore Hosokawa Nobumoto's tone.

"Lord Yamana, you have also heard the lord's punishment of Yamana Yutoyo and confiscate all his territory, which naturally includes Inaba Province." The implication of Honda Masanshin is that Inaba Province will become the direct leader of Hosokawa Nobumoto, and it is impossible to give it to him.

"This, this, this." Toyokuni Yamana was dumbfounded, this is different from what he imagined.

"Lord Yamana, with all due respect, the general trend of the world will be united for a long time, and there is only one lord! If you want the master of Inaba Mountain to continue and sublimate..."Speaking of which, the meaning of Honda Masanobu has been clearly expressed.

"Hearing the words of Lord Honda, let me open my mouth suddenly, and I am willing to enter the Hosokawa family in Xia, and I hope that the military division can help you on your behalf. In addition, the next boy is also seven years old this year, and he wants to experience it by the side of the lord. "Looking at the surrounding forces, the Maori family and himself are mortal enemies, the Uki family is the only Maori family in the first place, the Hosokawa family is already the big overlord of Kinai, and his former ally Niko family is the pro-Fan daimyo of the Hosokawa family. There's nothing to think about anymore ...

Toyokuni Yamana, who knew each other, also joined the Hosokawa family, and his second son also served Hosokawa Nobumoto as a minor surname (his son died young), and with the annexation of Inaba and Tajima, the land route to the Niko family was completed.

The route of Hosokawa's army back to the army was very peculiar, and after Inaba and Tajima turned around, they did not go directly to Tokubun Castle in Owari, but went south and entered Harima Province!

Frightened, the Ukita Naoya ignored the harsh winter season, forcibly mobilized the peasants, nervously monitored the Hosokawa army's every move, and kept asking the Mori family for help. For the sake of this only ally, the Maori family also urgently mobilized the peasants in the territory and marched towards the castle of Kamitsuki in Harima Province.

"Shoot!" Tuozhi Qingguang gave an order, and three thousand iron cannons fired in unison.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Streams of gunpowder smoke erupted, and suddenly the sky and the sun were obscured!

"Shhh

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The Hosokawa army shouted in unison, and the atmosphere of slaughter filled the air of victory.

"Boom!" one of the defenders swallowed dryly, cold sweat oozing from their foreheads.

"Thrust!"

"Oh!" The spears and thorns of the brushes are neatly aligned.

"Archery!"

Whoosh! Beyond the range of ordinary people, the defenders' faces turned pale one by one.

"Nether Iron Rider! Invincible! "Boom, black armor with hideous masks, like messengers of hell, galloping under the city of Shangyue.

The defenders of Shangyue City felt their hearts beat faster, their palms were full of sweat, and they couldn't help but want to escape from here.

"This..."The Ukita Naoya didn't expect that the Hosokawa army would actually play military exercises under the castle, and they had never seen this kind of psychological tactic.

"Well, yes, it looks good." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded with satisfaction, he came this time just to deter, the New Year was coming soon, and he decided to hold a grand celebration in Kyoto. So, he didn't want anyone to disturb him during this time.

"The lord is wise, this time not only deterred the Maori and Uki families, but also consumed a lot of their military resources." Honda Masanobu has opened his eyes this time, and he has never heard of this kind of military exercise tactics.

Three days later, Hosokawa Nobumoto, who had achieved his goal, left with his army, went to Settsu Province, entered Yamashiro Province, and finally reached Kyoto.

"It's... Let's go? "The people of the Maori family and the Uki family who were left behind stared at the castle in the last month. This time, they heard that the Hosokawa army was coming with a large army, and the Ukita Naoke mobilized 15,000 people, and Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei also led more than 50,000 people to help.

Now... Hosokawa Jun said that he would leave, they felt as if they had been tricked, how much money would they lose in vain this time! Hosokawa Standing pays salaries on a regular and fixed basis every year, and they can use it however they want, but they pay for it according to the season, urgency, etc., and they have to pay a lot of money every time!

"It's better to... We're going to attack Himeji Castle? Yoshikawa Motoharu felt that it was too much of a loss, he had mobilized twice in a row, but he didn't get a little oil and water.

As a result, the people around him all looked at him with stupid eyes, going to attack the city in this harsh winter season? Still have to fight a field battle with the Hosokawa army just now? The brain was kicked by a donkey!

"Uh... I'm just talking... It's just talking..."Yoshikawa Motoharu, the number one fierce general of the Maori family, couldn't help but shrink his neck...
