Chapter 10 Acceptance of Hattori
In a quiet dormitory, a few hot candles lit up the small room. The room was full of people, and it was a little crowded, but even so, they sat in an orderly order.
"Hattori-samaru Iwami?" "Huh? Yes! "Hosokawa Senomaru awakens the Hattori Hocho, who is outside the fugue world.
"Yagatata-sama, this, this, this is too heavy. My Hattori family didn't have much merit, and I really didn't dare to accept this reward, so I hope that Lord Yagata will take it back. "Hattori's heart has already turned upside down, although he is tempted, but this value is equivalent to his salary for ten years of work, and he still dare not think about it.
Looking at the demeanor of Hattori Baochang who wanted to accept it but didn't dare to accept it, Hosokawa Senkaimaru felt funny, this kind of trick of buying bones with a thousand dollars is very effective everywhere.
"Take it, this is the family's promise to you." Hosokawa said with a smile, his tone so gentle and approachable for the first time.
As if struck by lightning, Hattori Baocho slowly raised his head and looked at Hosokawa Clever Maru incredulously, the face full of smiles set off by candlelight, although it was immature, but it was graceful and elegant. A promise, suddenly my heart seemed to be hit hard, and my eyes were unconsciously filled with tears of gratitude.
"Thank you for your kindness, my Hattori family is willing to drive for adults in the future." After saying that, Hattori took a bow and went down.
Looking at the Hattori Baocho who bowed his head and bowed his head, Hosokawa Senkamaru knew that a samurai like this with a family business was not so easy to recover. It is said that it is a drive, but in fact, it can be seen as both a hire and a semi-independent subordinate, but Hosokawa Senmaru does not want to have this kind of uncertainty in the Hosokawa family. As a traverser, he knows very well that if he wants to achieve hegemony, he must be like Oda Nobunaga. If you want to have a collegial system of monarchs and ministers like the Rokkaku and Asai families, there is only one way to perish in the end.
[The so-called striking while the iron is hot, this kind of good opportunity to buy bones is only once, if you don't grasp it, I'm sorry for yourself.] Even if you fail to recruit Hattori this time, it is experience, if you don't want to do nothing for the rest of your life, you have to dare to fight. Having made up his mind, Hosokawa Sentomaru sat up straight again and said solemnly, "Lord Iwami-sama! Would you like to go out of your own home? If you are interested, Lord Iwami Mamoru will see the head of the family, and the annual salary is two hundred times. ”
Uh-huh, everyone's eyes were on Hattori Baocho. 200 yuan a year! It was more generous than in the Matsudaira family, and he had just received a generous reward from Hosokawa Senchimaru, and Hattori felt that if he really refused, he would definitely be despised by others. Gritted his teeth, and thought about it, from knowing Hosokawa Smart Pill to now, his performance is all amazing, and it seems that he will be able to lead one side in the future, and it will not be an insult to the Hattori family.
The chief of the Hattori also got up and straightened his clothes, and bowed again: "Yes!" His Majesty, Hattori and Saburo Baochang, thank the lord for his grace! Your Majesty is willing to do his duty for the Hosokawa family and never forget the kindness of the lord! ”
"Hmm!" Hosokawa Senkaimaru breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Lord Iwami Mamoru is responsible for the formation of the Monomiban for the family, and the personnel quota is not less than thirty people, and the specific tasks are assigned later. In addition, recruit ten more loyal and reliable ninjas to serve as the team's guards, and the treatment ......" Speaking of treatment, Hosokawa Senimaru hesitated for a moment, and decided to start at the market price, after all, the treatment can be slowly improved through meritorious service, and if it is given at the beginning, it is easy to slack. Of course, the main thing is the lack of funds.
"Yes! Please rest assured that the lord will complete the matter as soon as possible, and will never live up to the high expectations of the lord. "Hattori Hocho officially entered the Hosokawa family's retainer system.
In the assessment room of Mikawa Hattori's house, Hosokawa Senomaru sat on the main seat and looked at the row of people kneeling below. Today is the day to meet with the Hattori family, and a few days after leaving Owari Province, there was news that Masahide Hirotum had been cut off.
It is said that Hirate Masahide heard that Oda Nobunaga had embezzled the money for the renovation of Oda Nobuhide's mausoleum, and ran over to question Oda Nobunaga, only to be told that he had given this large amount of money to a child, and what kind of talent investment was made. The angry old man went back that night and committed suicide by digging his belly. Hearing the news, Hosokawa Senimaru couldn't help but sigh for a few days.
"My lord! These are the younger brothers and the dogs. Hattori Hocho sat at the top of the side and introduced Hosokawa Senomaru from left to right, namely Hattori Masaaki, Hattori Homoto, Hattori Hosho, Hattori Hoshi, Hattori Shiro, and Hattori Goro.
"Well, Zhengqing, Baoyuan, Baozheng, and Baojun will be incorporated into the family's guards, and Shiro and Goro will serve as my surnames." Hosokawa Senomaru nodded and took Hattori into his portfolio.
"Thank you, Lord! The subordinates are willing to swear allegiance to the Lord's family! "Hattori Masaaki waited for the big bow to go down.
"Well, by the way, Baochang, you have lived in Mikawa for a long time, and you can give a general introduction to the current form of Mikawa, and there are excellent samurai here?" Hosokawa Toshimaru turned his head and asked Hattori Baocho, who remembered that the most famous people in the Sengoku period were the Mikawa samurai and the Satsuma samurai. Both have their own merits, with the Satsuma samurai being a strong local folk and the Mikawa samurai being extremely powerful due to his fanatical loyalty. Obviously, on the battlefield, mental support is more advantageous.
"Back to the lord! The Mikawa country is mainly divided into East Mikawa and Nishi Mikawa, and the current large wealthy clans of Higashi Mikawa include the Uden clan, the Okuhira clan, the Suganuma clan, the Ii clan, and the Okochi clan, all of which are basically attached to the Imagawa family. Nishi-Mikawa was originally ruled by the Matsudaira clan and assisted by the Honda clan, the Ishikawa clan, the Sakai clan and other wealthy clans, but because the young governor was sent to the Imagawa family as a hostage, basically the entire Mikawa country was under the control of the Imagawa family. "Hattori Hocho began to detail the form of the entire Mikawa, and it can be said that the current Nishi-Mikawa is in a vacuum. Because the head of the main family is in the Imagawa family, many wealthy families are in a state of semi-independence, and many samurai are in a state of no recruitment.
"In this way, in the next few days, you will walk around with me to see if there are any suitable talents, and the family should also recruit some samurai, otherwise there will be no horses and no horses, which will be too shabby." Hosokawa Smart Pill decided to take advantage of the present to recruit all the outstanding talents of Mikawa, otherwise when these talents have a home in the future, they can only look forward to sighing.
"My lord! There happened to be a samurai in the local area who was an old acquaintance of his subordinates, and he was originally a samurai of Ogasawara Shinano Morichotoki-sama, named Oto Shigekishi, and his subordinates could recruit him. Nakajima Mingyan thought of a person, and hurriedly opened his mouth to apply for a recruitment task, and he didn't want Ma Huizhong to have only him as a bare-bones commander.
"Shigekichi Oto? Oto? Hosokawa Senchomaru didn't come up with this figure in history after thinking about it, but it seems that in the future "Four Heavenly Kings of Yuchai", there is a person named Oto Zhixuan, I don't know if there is any connection between them.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Regardless of whether he has anything to do with it or not, Hosokawa Senchomaru is now in dire need of a samurai to protect him.
"Yes! Lord! The subordinates will definitely recruit Oto Shigeyoshi, please rest assured! Nakajima Akito happily responded, but he didn't expect his first suggestion to be adopted.
"Yi'an! Go and sort out a copy of my family's samurai law and hand it over to me, and I'll revise and rectify it. "Hosokawa Senomaru decided to establish a family law, the so-called inability to break the rules, especially in order to ensure the loyalty of the courtiers, open, fair, and just laws are particularly important.
"Yes! Your Majesty will definitely establish the most sound law for the Hosokawa family, please rest assured. Yoshida Sokkai's calm salute is becoming more and more like a posterior.
"Okay, there is nothing to do in the family at the moment, so be it. Bao Chang, you can go with me in a while~Hmm~ Honka. "Hosokawa Senomaru decided to start with the Honka family, and the future Mikawa's first advisor Honda Masanobu and the first fierce general Honda Tadakatsu are all from the Honka.
"It's the lord!" Hattori Baocho leaned over to receive the order, and after the meeting, he led Hosokawa Senomaru to Honka.
