Chapter 309: The Coming Strife

Akechi Mitsuhide's sudden rebellion exceeded everyone's expectations and touched the nerves of all forces, and a new pattern will be reopened.

"Yagata-sama, what do you say we should do? We all listen to you. "In Katsuga Castle in Sanuki Province, Kasai Yoshikiyo respectfully saluted Hosokawa Nobumoto on the throne, and he was very aware of the current affairs and gave up the throne to Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Yes, Yagata-sama, you're here, and we all have a backbone. But that hateful An Fu Shengding dared to rebel against the Awa Miyoshi family, did he forget the kindness of the Hosokawa family to him before! There is also that Nara Motomasa, who actually pushed back and did not come to listen to the order. Hum! It's disgusting! "It was Kagawa no Kei who spoke, he was the head of the Kagawa family who was guarded by Nishisanuki, and they were both old members of the Hosokawa clan in the past, so they used to be called Hosokawa Nobumoto by "Yagatata".

The Kagawa family, the Kosai family, the Nara family, and the Yasutomi family were the four heavenly kings of the Hosokawa clan in their early years, and the entire Sanuki country was originally the feudal domain of the four of them.

Later, the Hosokawa clan declined, Miyoshi Chokei seized power, Nara and Yasutomi took refuge in the Miyoshi clan early, and the Kasai and Kagawa families resisted desperately for ten years, and finally Kasai Yoshikiyo's father died in battle, and the two families had to temporarily surrender to the Miyoshi clan.

"Okay, what are you doing with that bastard! Now that Lord Ukyo is here, just wipe out all those traitors! "The bastard that Kankawa Motolin is talking about refers to Yasutomi Morise, whose Hankawa family was originally the fifth most wealthy family in Sanuki Province, and its territory includes the two counties of Kankawa and Ouchi in East Sanuki, as well as Shodoshima Island, the second largest island in the Seto Inland Sea and second only to Awaji Island in area.

Don't look at the Hanchuan family has two counties and one island, but these two counties are mountainous, and the total stone height is not as rich as the Yamada County of the Shikawa family. In addition, in recent years, Anfu Shengding has teamed up with Tokawa Storage Insurance and Shinohara Nagabo to encroach on his Ouchi Prefecture, so he has always held a grudge.

Hosokawa Nobumoto on the throne didn't say a word, and looked at the three wealthy families of Sanuki Kingdom below, which were the three families he responded to after he came to Sanuki Country and issued a recruitment order.

Originally, he planned to use his local power to eliminate the Awa Miyoshi family, because he found that as his direct collar increased, Oda Nobunaga seemed to be on guard against him. In order not to touch Oda Nobunaga's nerves, he decided to keep a low profile first, and the head of the company temporarily stopped expanding, and used the means of recovering the wealthy clan to indirectly expand his influence, and at this time he was not aware of the great changes that had taken place in Kyoto.

"Hmm... Since the Nara family is not going to participate, let him never participate. In a simple sentence, Hosokawa Nobumoto directly sentenced the Nara family to death, and the three of them looked at Hosokawa Nobumoto with surprise on their faces, but they didn't expect such a young Hosokawa Nobumoto to act so decisively.

"It's... Is it to wait for him any longer? After all, he didn't completely refuse either. Kagawa no Jing hesitated and said, I don't know if this is sincere.

"I'll leave it to you in the future, Kagawa-sama." Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly said this, causing everyone to be stunned.

"Huh? Thank you, Lord Yamata! Kagawa suddenly understood, and happily thanked him, this is preparing to re-divide Sanuki country.

"The remaining Uzu-gun of the Nara family will be handed over to Kasai-sama, and the Yamada-gun of the Tokawa family will also be handed over to you." In just two words, Hosokawa Nobumoto announced the demise of the Nara family and the Shikawa family, and this domineering spirit of winning before fighting infected everyone present, and everyone felt extremely excited.

"Lord Hankawa." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the eager Hankawa Motokoto, and only if they were given enough benefits, they would be willing to follow him.

"Yes, yes, please command Yagata-sama!" Hankawa Motolin hurriedly nodded again and again, and even changed his name, hoping to be closer to Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"I'll help you get Ouchi County back, and I can also consider giving it to you in Miki County, but you need to exchange it for Shodoshima." Hosokawa Nobumoto directly divided the territory of the An Fu family again, and this domineering made the local wealthy families feel a little bold.

The reason why Hosokawa Nobumoto wanted Shodoshima was that he could put a nail in the Seto Inland Sea and use it as a naval base. Second, you can open another luxury casino here, which is the only way to Gyeonggi shipping, who is the richest in this era? O businessman. The money must be rolling in.

"Under the willingness! Under the willing to exchange with Shodoshima! Hanchuan Yuanlin nodded in agreement, just kidding! If you don't change it, it's a fool, that broken island is a stone in addition to stones, and the stone height is less than three thousand, how can there be ten thousand stones of Miki County is rich.

"Good! That's how it was distributed, but! I ugly said in front, if someone eats more and takes more! Then don't blame me for being ruthless! Hosokawa Nobumoto's face suddenly sank, and his eyes swept the three of them sharply.

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, I'll wait for the Hosokawa family!" Kasai Yoshikiyoshi and the others were shrouded by Hosokawa Nobumoto's gaze, and they felt like they were being targeted by a lion, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly bowed their heads and promised.

"Well, that's good. Rest assured, I will do what I say, so go back and mobilize. Three days later, assemble here and start the strategy of Sanuki Country! "Hosokawa Nobumoto is full of confidence in this strategy, his four reserves have been transferred, and the three thousand elite standing reserves are enough to sweep the Sanuki country.

When Hosokawa Nobumoto was preparing the Sanuki Raiders, far away in the direction of Minami Ise, Hashiba Hideyoshi, Kitada Nobuo Masa, and Kitada Gukyo were evenly matched; In the direction of Tango Province, the attacks of Hosokawa Fujitaka, Hosokawa Fujiken, and Mibuchi Fujiei are like a bamboo, plus Izumo's Niko Motohisa and Wakasa's Niwa Nagahide as backups, victory is just around the corner.

As for the news of the Honnoji incident, only the nearest Yamato and Kawachi provinces are still known, and Honganji seems to have known about it for a long time, and directly sent troops to surround Itami Castle in Ikeda Tsuneko, immediately cutting him off from the outside world.

"Quick! Go to the wise man! "Tsutsui Shunkei led an army of 2,000 and hurried to Kyoto, and he was ready to take the side of Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Tsutsui-sama, where are you going?" Suddenly, an old voice appeared out of thin air, and Tsutsui Shunqing was scared.

"Protect the lord!" Left and right to protect Tsutsui Shunqing Tuantuan, vigilantly looking around.

Suddenly, as if coming out of the ground, an old man appeared out of thin air.

"What people!" The guards stepped forward and surrounded the old man, spears against his chest.

"Rude! Retire! Tsutsui Shunqing shouted violently, then turned over and dismounted, and came to the old man.

"It's fruitful, but Wise Lady asked you to inform you? I knew that Wise Lord would not forget to be here, but no, when I learned that there was a change in Kyoto, I immediately led the army to come to support Wise Lord! Tsutsui Shunqing also pointed to the army behind him very proudly, with some intention of inviting credit.

"Thank you Tsutsui-sama for your kindness, the wise adults have understood. But... Please come back. The reversed words of the fruitful monk made Tsutsui Shunqing stunned for a moment, his mouth grew wide, and his eyes popped out.

"Huh?"
