Chapter 460: The Current Situation

In the vast room of Devon City, the ministers gathered, and the atmosphere was unusually depressing.

Sado Island was lost, the ironclad ship was heavily damaged, and more than half of the Tango Navy was lost, and Noto was forced to stay on the island.

"This is how things happened, and the subordinates have the responsibility of defeat, so I implore the lord to allow him to commit suicide!" Nine Ghost Yuanlong knelt below, and the gazes of the ministers on both sides made him ashamed.

"Clark sailboat... Portugal... Tsugaru family..."Hosokawa Nobumoto savored it, saying something that no one else could understand.

"Hehe... Interesting... It's interesting... Hahaha! Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly laughed loudly, and the people below sat upright one by one, not daring to make a sound.

"Mototaka..."After laughing, Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly shouted the name of the Nine Ghosts Mototaka.

"The subordinates are here!" Nine Ghost Yuanlong hurriedly replied, cold sweat dripping down his forehead and dripping on the floor.

"Do you want to be ashamed?"

"Back to the lord! Absolutely! The Nine Ghosts replied loudly, eliciting an approving smile from Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Very good, go back and sum it up, and see if there is a way to contain the enemy ships and be ashamed in the next naval battle!" Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded and skillfully pardoned the Nine Demons Mototaka.

"Yes! Thank you, Lord! The subordinates will definitely do their best and die! Nine Ghost Yuanlong was grateful and kowtowed to thank him.

"Newspaper... Lord! News came from the northeast, and the Tsugaru family suddenly announced that they had changed their surname to Tsugawa...", a close side hurriedly entered the house to make a report, which immediately caused the ministers to discuss.

"What does this mean? Why did you suddenly change your name to the Tsukawa clan? Ke'er didn't understand this, and asked Yasumasa Kamihara, who was the head of the company.

"You don't even know this, the Tsugawa clan is a branch of the Toki clan." Yasumasa Kamihara had an arrogant expression, thinking that you kid also had a time to ask me.

"So what?" Ke'er blinked her eyes and couldn't understand this.

"It's stupid, the dead wise Hinata Mamoru knows, right? The Aizu Tsugawa clan, like the Mino Akechi clan, was a branch of the Mino Toki clan, a descendant of the samurai Kiyoshi and Genji, and had the privilege of founding the shogunate. ”

"What! He wants to open the house! Ke Er cried out in a lost voice, and immediately attracted the reprimanded eyes of countless people.

"What are you yelling about?" Yasumasa Kamihara hurried to stop this reckless guy.

"Tsukawa? Hum! The ambition is not small. Hosokawa Nobumoto snorted coldly, and the people below suddenly stopped talking and looked at the lord.

"It seems... The Tsugawa family is determined to oppose the family, and it's okay... Then just destroy him! Hosokawa Nobumoto said confidently, making a decapitation gesture with his right hand.

"Oh!" All the retainers bowed down in unison.

"In the future, the focus of the family will be this Tsugawa family, and everything is aimed at eliminating the Tsugawa family, Yahachiro, let's talk about the current situation in the whole world." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at Honda Masanobu, who bowed heartily and sat down sideways.

"This year, Iyo has been added to the family, and the country of Vietnam-China is still in the strategy, and the people of Ukita abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and bring the two countries of Misaku and Bizen to join the family." As he spoke, he bowed his head to the Ukita Naoya on the other side, and the Naoka family also returned the salute, and he also came to attend this important meeting in person.

"The only enemy left to the west of the family is the Mori family, which still holds the Zhou Defense, Nagato, Aki, Bigo, Bichu, and Minamimi Province. The enemies to the east are Uesugi, Takeda, and the Hojo family. Speaking of the east, Honda Masanobu quietly peeked at Tokugawa Ieyasu, a dangerous person who needed to be kept an eye on.

"On the Kyushu side, the Battle of Ogawa broke out, and the Shimazu family defeated the combined forces of Otomo, Ito, and Sagara and annexed Hyuga Province. Together with its original Satsuma and Osumi, it now has the three kingdoms of southern Kyushu. In addition, it is suspected that the Shimazu family may have a connection with the Tsugawa family, so it has to be guarded against. When Honda Masanobu said this, he found that someone on the other side was asking a question, it was Matsunaga Hide.

"Honda-sama, is there any basis for speculation?"

"Rebound Zhengda, because the Tsugawa family is far away in the northeast, and the southern barbarians are far away in the West, if there is no supply transfer station during the period, it is difficult to imagine that they can cross such a long distance, so I think that the first stop of the southern barbarians when they arrive in Japan is Kyushu. Moreover, the first time the Nanban came to Japan, it was to land on Tanegashima Island in Osumi, and Kitakyushu has always been controlled by Lord Hu of Matsuura, so ..."

"I see, this Matsuura-sama is from our side, so it is indeed possible that the Shimazu family has a lot of iron cannons." Matsunaga nodded clearly, there were still many people at the scene, and they didn't know the relationship between the Hosokawa family and the Matsuura family.

"In addition, in the Battle of Ogawa, the military advisor of the Otomo family, Kakuma Ishimune, was killed, and it is said that he tried to persuade Otomo to no avail, and in frustration, he angrily burned the secret book that he had learned all his life and worked hard to do. And with the determination to die, he entered the war, and finally proved his loyalty with blood. Honda Masanobu focused on the current situation of the Otomo family again.

"It seems... The mourning of the Otomo family has become inevitable. Hosokawa Fujitaka's words aroused everyone's approval.

"That's right, the Ryuzoji family in Kitakyushu also forced down Arima Harunobu in Minamihizen at the beginning of this year, and took advantage of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Otomo Otogawa to extend their power to Shimozukugo, Higashizukuzen, southwestern Bunzen and northern Higo, and became the three most powerful names in Kyushu along with the Otomo family and the Shimazu family."

"That's it for Kyushu, now let's talk about Kanto. In the Kanpashu region, the Utsunomiya, Yuki, and Satake families formed the 'Oriental Crowd' to resist the expansion of the Hojo family. The governor of the Satomi family, Yoshihiro Satomi, died suddenly, because his younger brother Satomi Yoshiyori led the Anfang country, and his sister-in-law Mei Wang Maru led the general country, and the two families began to fight for territory and the position of the governor. ”

"Oh yes, the great enemy of the family, the Uesugi family, also broke out in civil strife due to the position of the family governor, mainly around Uesugi Jinghu and Jingsheng. Keikatsu acted quickly, claiming to have followed Kenshin's last words, and preemptively occupied important places such as the Honmaru, the Vault, and the Armory of Kasugayama Castle, and announced that he would become the successor of Kenshin and the new governor of the Uesugi family. Jinghu fled Kasugayama Castle and came to the imperial palace of Uesugi Kenmasa, the former Kanto governor of Echigo, who was exiled. ”

"The Takeda family still holds Kai and Shinano, and recently due to heavy taxes, some of the retainers have begun to disagree. The Hojo family includes Sagami, Izu, Musashi, Shimoso, Minami-Ueno, Hitachi, and Shimono. ”

"As for the last Tohoku Ou region, according to reliable sources, the Tsugawa family initially completed the unification and began to gradually suppress the Kanpachi Prefecture. The above is the current situation of each family. After speaking, Honda Masanobu looked at Hosokawa Nobumoto on the main seat.

"Okay, that's the situation, let's all talk about it." Hosokawa Nobumoto opened his mouth widely, ready to listen to the good advice of the retainers. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
