Chapter 441: New Year's Party
"This year, you have also worked hard, Happy New Year." Hosokawa Nobumoto is wearing a gorgeous blue straight down today, with a gold-rimmed folding fan pinned to his waist, he doesn't like to wear a hat, and his hair is well groomed, and he doesn't look angry and arrogant.
"This year, the family has added three more countries, and Yinshan has also won a lot, so I set up a bank, if you have some spare money, you may as well save it, there is interest." Hosokawa Nobumoto said casually, but no one dared to take this as a consultative tone, and they were all thinking about how much to put in.
"Zong Gui, let's start." After speaking, Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded at Yoshida Munegui, signaling that he could read it.
"This year, the family has expanded its territory to 240,000, of which 38,000 stone from Hida Country was given to Hosokawa Haruyuki, and his Owari old leader was enshrined." The first thing Sokra Yoshida thought of was Haruyuki Hosokawa.
"Thank you, Lord for your kindness! Your subordinates will be loyal and dedicated to the Lord's family and follow them from generation to generation! Although Hosokawa Haruyuki has known it for a long time, he still can't hide the joy in his heart. Lord of the Kingdom! This is the lord of the country! Something that I can't dream of, none of the younger brothers of all the famous families in the world can be crowned a country.
"Haruyuki, do a good job, isn't it that Echichu Saito and Shinano Kiso families also belong to this family? Deal with them well, and maybe they'll be your match in the future. "Hosokawa Nobumoto's words were amazing, Hosokawa Haruyuki was petrified on the spot, and the implication is how many countries can I receive?
In fact, the plan in Hosokawa Nobumoto's heart is to make the territory of the direct leader and the one clan reach more than half, so that it is acceptable for his clan to have two or even three kingdoms. If Nizi Motohisa counts the small island country of 5,000 koku in Oki, it can be regarded as having the territory of the three and a half kingdoms.
"Promote Akechi Mitsutada to be a subordinate general and lead Kyoto Bei! Formed Tajima Bei, promoted Konishi Yukicho to a general, and assumed the position of commander! Formed Inabata, promoted Nakamura Kazushi to a general, and assumed the position of commander! Formed Sado Bei, promoted Miyata Koji to general, and assumed the position of commander! Yoshida Munegui read out the appointments in turn, and there was nothing in front of them, except when he arrived at Sado, there was a commotion of discussion below.
"Silence!" The little surname Asai Manfukumaru shouted loudly, and immediately stopped the noise below. His mother, Oda City, has become Hosokawa Nobumoto's side room, and he is now Nobumoto's adopted son, and now he is the pen head of the small surname.
"You must be very strange, how can Sado Island still be under the control of the Uesugi family, how can it be that there is a reserve army? Actually, I'm going to seize Sado at the beginning of this year, and I'm afraid of the trouble of going back and forth, so I'll appoint it directly, after all, it's quite far away, isn't it? "Hosokawa Nobumoto said it very casually, but everyone can hear it, and the lord is bound to win!
"Obey the Lord's orders!" No one dared to touch the lord's head, and they all thought that it was an inevitable result, a kind of self-confidence that came spontaneously, and it was so strong that it should be taken for granted.
"Very well, go on." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded with satisfaction, what he wanted was this kind of self-confidence.
"Promoted Horiuchi to be the general of the family, responsible for the operation of the commercial bank; Promoted Naomasa Ii to serve as a general..."This was followed by a series of promotions and rewards, and everyone was satisfied.
"I won't announce the following Ashigaru generals.,Just ask Yahachiro to get it after the meeting.,I'll talk about this year's goals now.。 When Hosokawa Nobumoto said this, the people below immediately sat upright and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
"This year's target is Sado, Echichu, and Iyo. Well... Haruyuki, I will give the Echichu Saito family to you, and try to conquer the Echichu country alone. "Hosokawa Nobumoto still decided to hand over the Echi-Chu' country to Hosokawa Haruyuki as well, after all, Hida is too poor.
"Yes! Your Majesty will do your best to live up to the expectations of your lord! "Hosokawa Haruyuki is also full of energy now, and the Echichu country has nearly 400,000 stone heights, and once it is won, it will also be among the best among the daimyo of the Hosokawa family.
"Nine Ghost Mototaka, I order you to lead three ironclad ships, plus Noto, Echizen and Kagabei, as well as the Tango Naval Army, to take Sado Province for me!" Hosokawa Nobumoto arranged Sado's strategy deployment again, and now the Uesugi family has no leader and can no longer control Sado Country.
Sado Island has been a place of exile since ancient times, and now it is dominated by the Honma clan. However, the Honma clan has been fighting endlessly, and there are several Honma families, such as Kawahara Honma, Zata Honma, Kuchi Honma, and Hamo Honma, and they attack each other and do not obey anyone, which eventually leads to the existence of no daimyo that can be unified, and can only be influenced by the other side of the Echigo.
"Yes!" Nine Ghost Mototaka, Sasa Narumasa, Maeda Toshiie, and Miko Tian Masaharu came out to receive the order, there were three ironclad ships enough to kill at sea, and although the three newly built reserves did not meet the elite standards, they were more than enough to bully and bully the peasants and soldiers on the island. It is just the opportunity to see the blood and complete the transformation faster.
"After all, the Iyo side is close to the Mori family, so in order to prevent a possible battle with the Mori family, I will sit here myself. At that time, the rest of the reserve teams will accompany me. "After all, Iyo has the largest copper mountain in Japan, and for the sake of the standard currency promoted by the family, Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to go out personally to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"Subordinates take orders!" All the retainers lowered their orders one after another.
"Yuanji." Suddenly, Hosokawa Nobumoto called the name of Motoyoshi Murakami, the commander of the naval army.
"Your Majesty is here! Please command! Murakami Motoyoshi excitedly came out of the ranks, thinking that there was a task assigned to him.
"Is your father okay?" Hosokawa Nobumoto actually asked about Takeshi Murakami.
"Uh... Back to the lord, my father is fine now. Oh, and he also asked His Majesty to bring a message to wish you a Happy New Year. Murakami Motoyoshi said, bowing down.
"Well, bring him a message and say Happy New Year. Also, let him not always think about being independent, it's time to consider giving way to you. Hosokawa Nobumoto's words were like five thunderbolts, and Murakami Motoyoshi was stunned on the spot.
Murakami Takeyoshi is in the prime of life, occupying many islands in the Seto Inland Sea, and although he once had interests with the Hosokawa family, it is clear that Hosokawa Nobumoto is very dissatisfied with his independent behavior.
"Yes! Your Majesty will definitely persuade my father to sincerely devote himself to the account of my Hosokawa family, and ask the lord to forgive me for a few days! "Murakami Motoyoshi is already in a cold sweat, for fear that the lord will directly wave the army to kill, and once this ironclad ship goes, the entire Murakami naval army will no longer exist.
"Well, I'll give you ten days, and when the time comes, I'll lead my army to conquer in person, and all the places I pass will be bulldozed! You've got to hurry. Hosokawa Nobumoto set the tone for his expedition in ten days.
"Yes! Your Majesty promises to complete the mission! "Murakami Motoyoshi gritted his teeth, time is pressing.
"Yuanji, you are not young this year, I am going to give you Chacha Xu, and when you come back, you will get married." Hosokawa Nobumoto's imperial skills became more and more adequate, and he used marriage to strengthen the bond between his family and the admiral.
"Thank you, lord!" Murakami Motoyoshi was extremely excited, he was also a member of the Hosokawa family, and swore that he would be absolutely loyal to Hosokawa Nobumoto in the future. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
