Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.,And in these three days.,Kitabatake's house has ceded the governor of the Kitabatake family to Nobunaga's son.,As Niwa Nagahide said.,Not forced to live in seclusion.,But was appointed as the head of the Kitabatake family.,Take on the heavy responsibility of teaching the young master-

And the retainers of the Kitabatake family saw that Oda Nobunaga kept his promise, not only was the lord resettled, but also from the south of Ise Kameyama Castle, all the territories that originally belonged to the Kitabatake family were returned, and their own Zhixing was also returned intact, so the hostility towards Oda Nobunaga was greatly reduced, the lord was saved, the Kitabatake family was saved, and the Chiyuki under his rule was also retained, so what were they not satisfied with.

Although the head of the family has changed, but what about this, as long as he admits that he is the head of the Kitabatake family, then it is enough.

Nobunaga saw that the hostility of all the retainers of the Kitabatake family, including the Kitabatake Gubo, had disappeared, so he stayed in Okochi Castle for only three days, and then returned to Gifu Castle with his army, leaving not even a single soldier behind.

When the Hokuhata retainers saw that the Oda army had retreated, they were also relieved, and after seeing the new master, they also led the remnants of their defeated troops to return to their respective territories and recuperate.

After the clan returned to the Nine Ghosts Kataka, he still wanted to join Oda Nobunaga, but when he set foot on the way home, he learned that the Kitabatake family had been conquered in a successive way, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Oda Nobunaga's second son and third son have now all been released by Oda Nobunaga, and I'm afraid it won't be long before two imbeciles are about to be born.

Now that Nobunaga has returned to Gifu Castle, there is really no need for him to stay any longer, so he should hurry back and hand over the order to Nobunaga, and return to Gujo Hachiman Castle to accompany his wife and children as soon as possible.

Although this Ise strategy has ended, I am afraid that it will not be long before Nobunaga will go to Luo, so I should hurry up so that I don't even have time to return to the territory.

Thinking of this, the clan leader led the army under his command, quickly stepped up, and went all the way towards Mino Qifu City.

"Report, my lord, Lord Takayama is asking to see me outside the city, and I ask my lord to decide-"

Oda Nobunaga, who has been in Gifu Castle for a few days, heard the report from his close attendants, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, with the return of the clan, the southwest of the family's territory will no longer be worry-free, and the family has an extra navy, whether it is in the territory defense, or to go to the four countries and nine continents, it will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Although in Nobunaga's view, it was expected that the Nine Demons Yoshitaka's choice to surrender in the face of the strength of his own family, but even so, the clan that went to promote this matter was a great achievement, and in the Ise Raiders, he continued to suppress it in order to unite his retainers, and it was time to compensate, so it was better to transfer his territory from the barren county of Hachiman Castle to the 20,000 stone of Azuno Castle.

In this way, not only will Senbei be a great reward, but most importantly, with him in charge of Azuno Castle, then Ise Ichikoku can be completely relieved.

Thinking of this, I only heard Nobunaga say, "Call him in." ”

It didn't take long to see the clan come to Nobunaga quickly, salute and say: "The subordinates see the lord, the subordinates have lived up to the trust of the lord, and have returned the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka and his Kumano Naval Army." ”

Before Nobunaga could speak, he heard the words of the clan change and said again: "But...... In the opinion of his subordinates, this Kumano Navy may not be able to take on the big task, and it will disappoint the lord. ”

Originally, after Nobunaga heard that Senbei had finished the first half of the sentence, he just wanted to praise him for a few words and reward him, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face became solemn.

Before this, Nobunaga had only heard of the name of the Kumano Water Army, but he did not know how much strength it had, and now, listening to the clan clan's words, he couldn't help but also be interested in the Kumano Water Army, which is related to whether he can have an additional strong army, and it is also related to his strategy of deploying military forces in the world, so there must not be the slightest sloppiness. …,

I heard Nobunaga ask, "Oh? The Kumano Water Army is so unbearable? You speak carefully and listen to me. ”

"It's the lord, when the subordinates went to Shima this time, they found that the Kumano Navy only had one dilapidated house, and the ships were closed, and the total number of Kozao was less than ten, and this was not the most important, and the most important thing was that because the Kitabatake family left the Kumano Navy alone, it didn't have any extra money to build new ships, so now the Kumano Navy has been confined to the Kumano Beach by the Suruga Navy and can't move at all.

At first, the subordinates didn't believe it, but when the subordinates went to sea by boat, they realized that the Nine Ghosts Jialong was right, and the ships taken by the subordinates were intercepted by the Suruga Navy in the place where the dock could still be seen. ”

After hearing this, Nobunaga's brows also wrinkled, he really didn't expect that the Kumano Navy had been ruined to such a point, he thought that after the Nine Ghosts Kataka were submissive, he would be able to add a force of combat power, but who would have thought that although the Kumano Navy did submit to his family as he expected, but the combat power of the Kumano Navy not only did not get the slightest improvement, but also paid a lot of military expenses for it, but fortunately, Nobunaga was not short-sighted.

Nobunaga couldn't help but think that although the Kumano Naval Army was indeed a burden to the family at present, with his full support, I am afraid that it would not be long before the Kumano Naval Army could be built into one of the strongest in the world, so in the long run, it was not possible to adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards the Kumano Naval Army like the Kitabatake family.

Besides, if he allocates tens of thousands of military funds every year to support him, this money is nothing to the current Oda family, so what else do he have to worry about.

Thinking of this, I only heard Nobunaga speak: "I have decided to allocate 20,000 yuan of military expenditure every year to support the Kumano Water Army. And this first batch of military spending, after the preparation is ready, I will order others to send it, and you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. ”

"It's the lord." After speaking, I saw the clan take out the letter of allegiance written by the Nine Ghosts Jialong from his arms and present it to Nobunaga to read.

After Nobunaga took the codex, he only glanced at it cursorely and set it aside.

I only heard him speak: "This time you went to Shima to return to the Nine Ghost Family, it is really indispensable, I intend to transfer you to Anjin no Castle, do you have any opinion." ”

The reason why Nobunaga did not directly transfer the clan was because he knew that in recent years, the clan had already developed the territory, and if he was reluctant, then the matter would be stopped and he would be rewarding him with something else.

And the clan sect of course didn't want to hear it, not to mention that he planned to become the owner of Hida, in order to get through Hida, the cost of building roads, he had already invested part of it, if he left like this, wouldn't that money be wasted.

Moreover, although the land in the area where Yasuzuno Castle is located is much more fertile than his existing territory, there are large forests around Hiwami Castle and Mitsuyama Castle, and as long as the road is repaired, it will bring him unimaginable wealth, and how can it be compared to the tens of thousands of stone land in the area of Azuno Castle?

So no matter what, the clan will not give up on Hachiman Castle in the gun, but since Nobunaga has already spoken, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince Nobunaga if there is no good reason, and he can't say that he is in it for money.

However, the clan clan quickly thought of a very sufficient, and let Nobunaga not find any fault, only to hear him speak: "Lord, the subordinates and Ji Xiaolu's family feud is as deep as the sea, and now the territory is finally bordering it, and after the road to Hida is repaired, his subordinates will personally lead the army to Hida and find the Ji Xiaolu family to take revenge, so I also ask the lord to take back his life." ”…,

Speaking of this, I only heard the clan say again: "Lord, my subordinates don't want any rewards now, my subordinates only want that after the merits are enough, the lord can give the country of Hida to his subordinates, so that the subordinates will be satisfied, and ask the lord for permission." ”

"Hida?" In Nobunaga's opinion, Hida was not a good place, the land there was so barren that he never thought of turning it into the land of the Oda family, otherwise, this place bordered the main family, and its internal power was vulnerable, and with Nobunaga's character, he would have taken it a long time ago.

But Nobunaga thought about it, although this place is a chicken rib, but in terms of the current situation, it is very important, as far as he knows, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family have now invaded Hida country, if they wait for them to control all of this, then the threat to the family will be too great, if Takeda and Uesugi take advantage of their own army, from here to lead the army to kill, then it will be able to reach the outside of Gifu Castle in a few days, so they have to be guarded, and if the Hida country is handed over to Senbei, then he can rest assured.

And it's such a place that is ignored by himself, but today the clan wants to go and govern, does he want to restore the old territory? Is this necessary? However, since this is his own proposal, it is enough to satisfy him himself.

Thinking of this, I only heard Nobunaga speak: "Okay, since you have the heart to restore the old territory, then I will fulfill you, but although the Hida country is barren, but the stone height is also 40,000 stones, and the land under your rule now is only 10,000 stones, if you want to get this place, you still need to work hard, and this time I will write down the merits of the Kumano Navy, and I will reward it at that time, do you have anything else to say." ”

The clan couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, all of this was being planned according to their own plans, and they were going on step by step, what else could they not be satisfied with.

Moreover, with his own foresight and Nobunaga's trust in himself, I am afraid that it will not be long before he becomes the master of the Hida country.

Although he didn't get any substantial reward this time, he did get Nobunaga's promise, and this promise, in the eyes of the clan, was much more important than any reward.

Thinking of this, I heard the clan sect hurriedly say: "Thank you lord, my subordinates will live up to the lord's expectations." ”
