Chapter 65: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds

The day after the great victory of the barrel saga, Oda Nobunaga held an evaluation outside Kiyoshu Castle and began to test the fruits of this victory.

It's said that it's a fruit, but it's actually a head, and Hosokawa Nobumoto is disgusting when I see it, 3,000 heads, a full 3,000!

The heads were identified by the captured Imagawa Yoshimoto, who wrote down the names of the samurai. According to the statistics of the high-ranking samurai at the scene, the lord of Toe Futsumata Castle and the deputy general of Yoshimoto Matsui Munebu, the lord of Suruga Anhara Castle, the head of the Asahina family of Imagawa genealogy, the head of the Asahina family and the same important minister of the Imagawa family as Taiyuan Yukisai, the banner head general of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the son-in-law of Matsudaira Kiyoyasu and the head of the Nagasawa Matsudaira family, Matsudaira Masatada, the lord of Iya Castle and the head of the Ii family, Ii Naomori, the lord of Suruga Kamohara Castle and the uncle of the Imagawa Yoshimoto Clan, from the Imagawa clan relatives, the lord of Suruga Province to hold the ship castle, and the sister-in-law of Yoshimoto, Matsudaira Motoyasu's father-in-law, Sekiguchi Clan, Suruga Ejiri Castle Lord, Yoshimoto's younger sister's son Kuno Clan, Suruga Ogawa Castle Lord, Hasegawa Clan Lord, Hasegawa Gencho, Suruga River Castle Castle Lord, Yubi Masanobu Lord, Enoehama Matsujo Castle Lord Iio Norori, Army Governor Yoshida Clan, etc......

In addition, there are the head of the Sena clan of the Imagawa clan, the head of the Sena clan, the sister-in-law of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the lord of Suruga Kuno Castle, who won the loyalty of Chiaki, Kuno Motomune, who was killed in the previous battle of the first battle. Then there are a large number of famous generals such as Asahina Hideen, Anhara Tadharori, Anhara Tadaharu, Fujieda Aki, Ichinomiya Sonoi, and Tominaga Shigeru.

Seeing that these generals were identified one by one, and some even the whole family was killed in battle, Hosokawa Nobumoto could imagine that with just this battle, the Imagawa family would be in a state of collapse in the future.

After reviewing the head, Oda Nobunaga began to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds, and it was Lin Xiuzhen who read out the merit book, although he was an important minister who insisted on peace, but it was found that he did not collaborate with the enemy afterwards, so as an old man of the pen family, this duty is still unshirkable.

Hosokawa Nobumoto listened to Lin Xiuzhen in a daze, and the 10,000-word nonsense in front of him praised virtue, and he didn't prick up his ears to listen until the focus of the meritorious deeds.

"Liang Tian Zhenggang!" The first one to shout turned out to be the inconspicuous Liang Tian Masatsuna from Kunotsui Castle in Kasugai County, and all the retainers of the Oda family looked at him in a hurry strangely.

"This joint battle depends on your timely intelligence and accurate identification of Imagawa Yoshimoto's location, so that you can take the heads one by one. Be a bonus! 5,000 stone of the city is transferred, and it is specially given! ”

"Huh? Thank you, Lord! The minister is determined to die for his family! Don't let the Imagawa family cross the castle half a step! Liang Tian Zhenggang was grateful to come forward to accept the seal, but there was a lot of discussion below, and there was a lot of noise. Although the castle is still in the hands of the Imagawa family, everyone knows that it is already a boiled duck, and you can take it with just one hand. It's just that all the retainers don't understand how he can be determined to be this merit, and they are all unhappy for Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Quiet!" Lin Xiuzhen shouted, and then read "Hosokawa Nobumoto! Ordered to lead the army of the family to break the Imagawa avant-garde army, the second to behead the avant-garde general, the Imagawa family of the old Se Na Shijun, and the three strikes of Imagawa Yoshimoto on horse. Give the big high city 3,000 stone to know the line, give the feeling, and reward the famous knife Hasebe Guozhong! ”

"Thank you, Lord for the reward!" Hosokawa Nobumoto accepted it.,Now you have a city that you can handle.,And it doesn't seem to have reclaimed the original fiefdom.,I feel like I've made a lot of money.,The most important thing is to get Oda Nobunaga's saber.,This is a famous sword.,Which military general doesn't love famous swords.。

He took this "Hasebe Kunishige" and stroked the scabbard carefully, eager to find a table to cut it now, knowing that it also has another name in the future life, called "press cut".

"Three times for Hattori Chun'an, find Imagawa Yoshimoto in time, and seriously injure his abdomen, give Zhixing a thousand stones, plus 200 years, and give him a special feeling." Haruan Hattori was too injured to come and received a condolence award.

"Maori wins! Seeking Imagawa Yoshimoto, as the head of the first place, rewarding 500 knowledge lines, plus 100 annual salaries, giving special feelings, and being promoted to the side of the black mother's clothes. ”

"Thank you, Lord for the reward!" Mori Yoshikatsu thanked him excitedly, stepped forward to receive the sentiment, and successfully entered Oda Nobunaga's field of vision.

"Sakuma Nobumori! Stick to the Zenshoji Temple, so that the family has no worries, and seek Miura Yoshiko, and Sakuma Shengzhong also sticks to the pill root for the family, until he fights and sacrifices his life, and he is a model of the samurai. The Sakuma family was the second leader, and due to the huge losses of the Sakuma family in this battle, they were exempted from military service for the next two years. Nobumori Sakuma took over as the head of the family and was promoted to the elder of the Oda family! Seal the eight thousand Zhixing of Minghai City, the flag head of the three rivers! Bestow a feeling! Lin Xiuzhen finished talking about his merits in one breath, looked at him with envious eyes, thanked him, and came up to receive the reward.

"Shinsheng, you can sit here in the future." Oda Nobunaga spoke in a rare gentle tone, pointing to the empty chief of the generals, he could do anything to the enemy, but he was still good at treating those who were loyal and loyal.

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness! The Sakuma family is loyal to the Oda family for generations! Sakuma Nobumori was full of tears of thanks, and then sat at the head of the military generals, with a straight waist, and now he is unshakeable by the Oda family.

"Ahem! Cough! Lin Xiuzhen cleared her throat and continued to shout, and all the retainers also hurriedly listened carefully, the second reward was higher than that of the first capital, it seems that Oda Nobunaga is eclectic, and the reward behind will not necessarily be less.

Sure enough, "Hideshige Tsuda!" Your father, Oda Genbo Yun Xiumin, adhered to the Washizu and successfully blocked the Imagawa family's pioneers, until he fought and sacrificed his life, and the Tsuda family should be the head of the three times! I hereby order you to inherit the territory of Nakamura Sango in Aichi County, serve as the lord of Nakamura Castle, and promote the general of the Oda family, I hope that you will serve in public office in the future and not fall into your father's prestige! ”

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness!" Tsuda Hideshige also entered the ranks of the Oda family's important ministers, and since Oda Nobunaga served as the guardian of Owari, except for the main branch of the Konmune, all the rest of the Oda family changed their seedlings to Tsuda.

"Sasa Seimasa!" Just when everyone thought it was over, Lin Xiuzhen shouted another name, and Sasa Narimasa, who was standing on the left, was stunned, and Kawajiri Hidetaka next to him stabbed him, came back to his senses and hurriedly walked to the middle to salute.

"In this joint battle, Sasa Masaji demonstrated the righteousness of the samurai family, fought and sacrificed his life, and the Sasa family should be the head of the three times! You are specially ordered to take over the position of the head of the family, serve as the lord of Hira Castle, and be promoted to the general of the Oda family! ”

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness!" Sasa Chengmasa burst into tears, both the pain of losing his brother and the excitement of promotion.

"Alright! Now that the rewards have been issued, then the next step~~ bring people up! When Oda Nobunaga saw that the award was over, he slapped his palm with a folding fan a few times, and motioned for the guards to escort up several samurai bound outside.
