In the residence of Devon Castle, the candles are lit up, and Hosokawa Nobumoto listens to Honda Masanobu's report.

Mimura Moto-kin was lured by the Maori family and went out of the city to ambush, and Niko Motohisa sent troops to the rescue, but it was too late. Mimura Motojin was killed in battle, Matsuyama Castle also fell, and Niko Motohisa could only rescue his sister-in-law, Katsu Mage Maru, and retreated to the mainland.

"Got it... Go down and rest first. Hosokawa Nobugen waved off Honda Masanobu, and with the fall of the "Bichu" country, the pattern changed again, and the Mori family and the Uki family were connected, and the Harima country would be under great pressure.

"It seems that the Maori family will soon attack Harima Province." Mochizuki saw Hosokawa Nobumoto with a sad face, and knew that he couldn't eat this meal tonight.

"Hmm..."Hosokawa Nobumoto unconsciously tapped the floor, thinking about what to do. The territory is bigger, and there are more enemies around, so you can't go to the west when you come from the west, and go to the east when you come from the east, so it's tiring to go back and forth to fight.

"It seems that it's time to set up a legion system, but it's just a candidate for the commander of this legion..."Hosokawa Nobumoto completely fell into his own thoughts, and Oda Inu and the others left softly in a witty voice, leaving only Mochizuki with him.

"Your Highness, the concubine has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Mochizuki saw that there were only two of them in the house, and said in a low voice, behind the scenes, she was Hosokawa Nobumoto's behind-the-scenes military advisor.

"Cher, what else can't be said between you and me." Hosokawa Nobumoto smiled gently, this virtuous helper of his own is not only the founder of the Mochizuki organization, but also has quite a lot of insights in military and political affairs, if it weren't for his daughter, I'm afraid he would also be one of the most powerful figures.

"The concubine thinks that it is not easy for the family to establish a legion system." Mochizuki Yuki's words were amazing, causing Hosokawa Nobumoto to look at her in surprise.

"Why is that? Nobunaga's establishment of the corps system was a major reform, with the standing army of the separation of soldiers and peasants as the carrier, and the elders of the family as the commanders of the corps, and attacked each place separately. This is a huge lethality for the small daimyos, because they are still peasants and soldiers, and they need to consider the agricultural season, the temporary allocation of weapons, and economic strength. And our army will attack at any time, anywhere, and even in many directions..."Hosokawa Nobumoto began to gush endlessly, the advantages of the corps system are too great, and Oda Nobunaga's famous words "fifty years in the world" can be directly quoted.

In addition to lamenting the passage of time and the fact that life is like a dream, there are also times when I don't realize that Nobunaga thinks that the time in his life is quite small and precious, so he cherishes time extraordinarily. And Nobunaga created the Oda system in order to unify the Japanese in the least amount of time, and with the Oda family, the Oda family could complete the unification in the shortest possible time!

"The concubine knows all these advantages, but... It's a double-edged sword. The Legion Commander has attacked all the places he has for himself, and they can be regarded as a daimyo who is not weak. Mochizuki walked up behind Hosokawa Nobumoto and gently massaged his shoulder, and the conversation box opened.

"While it's an incentive for them, it also fuels their ambition and is a catalyst for them to become careerists."

"Humph! I'll hold them down! Or do you think I'm inferior to Nobunaga? Can't have a way like him? Hearing this, Hosokawa Nobumoto was a little unconvinced. He thought that he could completely suppress his subordinates, after all, from the very beginning, whether it was the establishment of the secret ninja or the establishment of the Mochizuki organization, he no longer guarded against "Xia Keshang" all the time.

"The concubine didn't say that His Royal Highness is inferior to Nobunaga, on the contrary, you are much stronger than him." Mochizuki smiled and praised twice, and Hosokawa Nobumoto was also proud when he heard it.

"But what... Nobunaga's army commanders are all humerus veterans, and they are all cronies and elders who have followed him all the way from the barrel saga. And what about you, Your Highness? Who are you going to assign? There are only two elders in this family, and it may be difficult to convince the public if they are promoted again. Directly appoint feudal daimyo such as Fujitaka and Kuhide? That would only fuel their strength. Mochizuki suddenly changed her voice and once again said the reason why she disagreed. This time, Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned and listened very carefully, Mochizuki Xue knew how to smooth out the hair before educating him.

"Moreover, Nobunaga Gong also began to gradually transfer the position of the commander of the army to his heirs, and began the transition of the heirs of the army commanders, such as Nobutada, Nobuo, and Nobutaka, didn't they all gradually entrust them with important responsibilities? But what about your heirs, Your Highness? I just ate tempura with you. ”

"To put it mildly, once you have something, the corps commander system without heirs is a daimyo machine. Fall apart and re-follow the old path of the Oda family! Your Highness, aren't you a living example! At the end of his words, Hosokawa Nobumoto immediately came to his senses. Yes, isn't he himself a product of this legionary system?

Looking back at the Oda family, Nobunaga's direct descendants were all cut off, and all the relatives were sent to the fence one by one, and they survived.

"Remember the civil strife in the Nizi family? Even if the Legion Commander is still at your service, what about their subordinates? Who wouldn't want to take it a step further? Your Highness, you are also familiar with Chinese history, how can you not know Zhao Kuangyin in a yellow robe? Another blow to the hammer, Hosokawa Nobumoto seemed to see the internal strife of the Miyoshi family and the internal strife of the Kitada family in the future.

"That's... Legional... Don't do it? "Hosokawa Nobumoto is a little reluctant to give up this treasure, this is a shortcut to quick unification.

"Not only do not do it, on the contrary, in the future, when the territory is bigger, it is necessary to curb the development of the vassal daimyo, and the direct collar and the family collar must be greater than them." Mochizuki Xue lay in Hosokawa Nobumoto's ear and whispered, for fear of being listened to by others.

"Containment?" Nobumoto Hosokawa was thoughtful.

"That's right, when it is unified in the future, the order of one country and one city will be implemented! Each vassal daimyo has only one castle, and all other branch castles are abolished! ”

"What! One Country, One City Order! How would you know this! When Hosokawa Nobumoto heard this, he was startled, and suddenly turned around and looked at Mochizuki in surprise. One country, one city order, but it was a national policy implemented by the Tokugawa shogunate in history!

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this? What do you mean by how do you know this? Mochizuki blinked her eyes in confusion, not understanding why Hosokawa Nobumoto's reaction was so strong.

"Uh... It's okay, it's okay. Hosokawa turned back, avoiding the unnaturalness on his face.

"So, before Smart Pill becomes an adult, you should work harder, maybe when he grows up, he will be directly the second generation of officials." Mochizuki Xue's implication is that you don't think about the corps commander in the future, and you should do everything yourself. In the end, it is enough to leave Yin Fu to the children and grandchildren.
