Chapter 729: New Year's Party
"Happy New Year to my lord! Congratulations to the lord for sweeping the feather Olympics! "In the Ohiroma of Nijo Castle, all the Hosokawa ministers saluted in unison, and the large number of people lined up in the garden of Honmaru.
"Well, I wish you all a Happy New Year." On the main seat, Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded slightly, and his demeanor was majestic.
"Thank you, my lord! The ministers are determined to be loyal to the Lord's family and loyal to the generations! After the ceremony, everyone sat upright, and even the samurai in the garden did not enjoy the view, but looked intently at the hall.
"Zong Gui, you can start." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded at Yoshida Munegui and motioned for the start of the New Year's assessment.
"Yes!" Yoshida Sogui bowed down, his body trembled slightly, but he didn't expect the Hosokawa family to really advance by leaps and bounds, and there were earth-shaking changes every year.
"This year! It's a great year for my Hosokawa family! Destroy the Tsugawa family and recover the Ha-Oku kingdoms in one fell swoop! I also purged the internal evil element Tokugawa Ieyasu and consolidated the 10,000-year foundation of my Hosokawa family! "Although Yoshida Sokatsu is old, his voice is like a bell, and everyone in the garden can hear it.
This time, the time to sing the praises of virtue is relatively long, and he is still opening for more than an hour, not because Yoshida Sogui is old and loves to nag, but because there are too many major events that have happened this year.
What Hosokawa Smart Pill young master wisdom and courage are both complete, after Hosokawa Nobumoto returned to Beijing, how to command the three armies to take the follow-up Mutsu Kingdom. What Hosokawa Miracle Pill is so resolute and brave, serving as Hosokawa Nobumoto's stand-in. What Kitada Motogu was brave and good at fighting at the beginning of the battle.
"To this day, my Hosokawa family rules the world, the sea is inclusive, and all the people are subservient, but... Only Kyushu, there are still remnants! In the future, you should work together with this goal! Casting the great cause of the Hosokawa family! At the end, Yoshida Soji even stated the future development policy, and directly said that the family of the non-minister was a remnant.
Otomo Zonglin, who was sitting cross-legged below, suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, but fortunately, he knew the current affairs and came in time, and worshiped under the tent of the Hosokawa family!
In today's Kyushu, the Shimazu family has conquered almost half of the country, and after annexing the Hyuga country and expelling the Ito family, they began to invade Higo and Bungo on a large scale, beating the Otomo, Aso, and Sagara families with a blue nose and swollen face, and the territory is being lost step by step.
"Zong Lin! What is the situation in Kyushu? When Yoshida Munegui's opening remarks were over, Hosokawa Nobumoto interrupted with a wave of his hand and asked about the topic he was most concerned about at the moment.
"Back to the lord! In today's Kyushu, there is a dragon temple in the north and Shimazu in the south, and the king's order is not respected! That dragon built the temple Longxin, and dared to claim to have the territory of 'five states and two islands'! It's just disgusting! Arrogance! Bunzen Province is the lord's family domain, and Futashima is the territory of Matsuura Hu! Otomo Sorin's indignant look was actually to provoke Hosokawa Nobumoto with words, wanting to send troops as soon as possible to help him regain his lost territory. (The five states refer to Hizen Country, Higo Country, Fengqian Country, Chikuzen Country, and Chikugo Country; Nijima refers to Tsushima Island and Iki Island)
"Humph! You don't have to provoke me! Now that our family has just experienced a big war, the loss of soldiers is not small, and we need to replenish the source of soldiers and train for three months! Hosokawa Nobumoto snorted coldly, this Otomo Zonglin still doesn't seem to be very honest, and he needs to suppress his sharpness again.
"Don't dare! Can't! Otomo Zonglin hurriedly saluted and said that he didn't dare, but he was thinking in his heart, isn't it enough for the soldiers to be mobilized directly? Why do you still need to train intensively? Is this called standby?
They are remote in Kyushu, and they have always been fighting on their own soil, and almost every family is closed off from the country. Because of this, as soon as the Shimazu family had an iron cannon, they immediately changed from being beaten to beating people, and the beating was very painful, and no one could beat it.
"How is the situation with the Shimazu family?" Hosokawa Nobugen still cared more about the Satsuma samurai, and they were the vanguard of rebellion for generations.
"Yes! Since the Battle of Ogawa, the Shimazu family has taken advantage of the victory to invade the southern prefectures of their subordinates! Now that the main force of the Shimazu family is attacking Higo, the Sagara and Aso families are about to be overwhelmed. Originally, the two of them were going to come to the court to meet the lord, but... However, Lord Sagara brought the two sons of the family to his subordinates, just outside the palace. "Otomo Zonglin is now gradually putting down his figure, although he is old, although he is said to be old and confused by his son Otomo Yoshitomi, but in fact, he is not confused at all in the grasp of the direction mark.
The Maori family is strong, right? Fighting with his Otomo family for control of Kitakyushu, tossing back and forth for more than 20 years, the result? Cedion the Five Kingdoms! Mori Terumoto is now by his side, bowing his eyebrows to Hosokawa Nobumoto and bowing his head!
Shirts and Takeda families, one dragon and one tiger, and a Sagami lion Hojo family, the result? The acquaintance of the shirt Jingsheng was also on the minister's seat, and the Takeda family, who did not know each other, was removed. And Yasuda Nobukiyo, the seventh son of Takeda Shingen, who originally fled to Koyasan, was later awarded the head after defecting to Uesugi Keikatsu, and the Takeda family was completely wiped out!
The Hojo family is also a confiscated territory, the head of the family, the Hojo clan, committed suicide, the death of the Hojo family, and the exile of the exile were basically swept to the end. This was exchanged for the life of his son Hojo Nao, but the clan Nao is only a samurai, don't you see that at the edge of the main hall, as the side of the Hosokawa family!
And Otomo Zonglin originally wanted to wait and see, how to say that the Otomo family is also a famous family, and the former overlord of Kyushu. However, when he saw the huge Tsugawa family, the overlord of the Feather Olympics, and as a result, it was destroyed after less than a year of confrontation, Otomo Sorin's decision was immediately made and surrendered!
"Well, let them in." When Hosokawa Nobumoto heard this, he nodded, looking as he should be.
Soon two children, one older and one younger, nine years old and seven years old, came in from outside the temple.
"Bye... Meet the Yakataden! The two children saluted submissively, they had never seen such a pomp, and their little faces turned pale with fright, and their legs and stomachs cramped.
"Well, look up! Let me see! Hosokawa Nobumoto's majestic voice frightened the two of them to bury their heads lower.
"Kamechiyo, Kamechiyo, the lord told you to raise your heads and talk back." Otomo Zonglin reminded in a whisper on the side, after all, they all came together, and the child was still so young, he needed to take care of it more.
"Uh-huh." The two children pouted, looking like they were about to cry, in front of them... It's scary!
"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad! Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded again and again, not knowing whether to say that the two children were good, or that the Sagara family knew the current affairs.
"My lord, the Aso family also expressed their submission, but... There are no heirs in the family yet..."Otomo said again, as for the hostage of his Otomo family, it was himself. As early as last year, he stepped down as the head of the family and passed it on to Otomo Yoshitomi.
"Good, good! Smart Pill! And these two will be given to you! Hosokawa Nobumoto pointed at it, and he was directly rewarded as an object.
"Yes, thank you, Father!" Hosokawa Smart Maru, who started it, hurriedly agreed.
"You two remember! The! It's your lord! Be loyal to Him forever! Do you understand? "Hosokawa Nobumoto said very sternly, he is going to hand over the Kyushu conquest to the smart pill, so the people of Kyushu... It's all controlled by the clever pill.
"Yes! Subordinate... Meet the Lord! The two little boys saluted properly. I want to talk about "Mortals Through the Law of Survival" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
