Chapter 119: The Great Reward

"The lord has arrived!" In the castle tower of Inabayama Castle, with the singing of the small surname, Oda Nobunaga walked domineeringly to the main seat and sat down.

"See the lord! Congratulations to the unity of the main and male Ono, and the prosperity of Oda's parents! All the retainers of Oda saluted in unison, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly high, and their bones were full of excitement.

"Hmmm! Let's start judging! Oda Nobunaga nodded and signaled that the old man of the pen family, Hidezhen Hayashi, could start, since the renovation of this Inaba Mountain Castle was completed, Oda Nobunaga was impatient to move the castle over.

"Yes!" Lin Xiuzhen gave a deep salute, and then took out a piece of paper and read it aloud.

Under the wise leadership of the lord, the Oda family was favored by the god Hachiman, who first eliminated Oda Nobukiyo and unified the Owari Province, and was appointed to the official positions of the imperial court and shogunate, such as Owari Mamoru and Owari Shogun. Later, he conquered Inabayama Castle, a strong city in the world, and expelled the head of the Saito family, and the wealthy families throughout Mino revered the lord's heavenly might, and all of them rushed to serve the Oda family. Since then, the end of the unity has opened up the glorious achievements of the ancients! ......" Lin Xiuzhen's clever mouth made all the retainers flutter.

Hosokawa Nobumoto patiently listened to the long speech, and finally waited for the part of the meritorious deeds, and first issued a document to the newly refuted Mino wealthy family. These wealthy clans not only include the three of Nishiminon, but also the largest wealthy clan in Higaminon, Iwamura Castle Lord, Toyama Keiren, and wealthy clans such as Bupo Koji of Bupo Jungin Castle and Marumo Nagasho of Otsuka Castle in Tayun County.

The mermaids who called their names rushed in, bowed down in front of Oda Nobunaga, accepted the appointment, and once again expressed their respect. Since then, Mino Province has been officially incorporated into the territory of the Oda family.

"Ahem! Cough! Lin Xiuzhen cleared her throat, and then it was the turn of the ministers in the family to reward her.

"Sen Kecheng! Give you 70,000 stone in Dongmei Nong Kerr and Toki County, and be promoted to the elder of the family. Owari received 15,000 stone to serve the public. The first person to shout was Sen Kecheng, who was also Lin Xiuzhen's son-in-law.

"I am willing to die for the Lord!" Sen Kecheng bowed and thanked him, with tears in his eyes. From 1549, when he left Mino-toki and followed Nohime to the Oda family, he had been working for Oda Nobunaga for eighteen years. At that time, Shibata Katsuya was still supporting Oda Nobuyuki, and it can be said that he was more important than Shibata Katsuie, and he belonged to the lineage of descendants.

Over the years, he has participated in the reinforcement of Saito Michizo, the defeat of Oda Nobuyuki, the elimination of Iwakura, the capture of Kiyosu Castle, the defeat of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the capture of Higashi Mino ...... After many wars, he has made countless achievements.

It was not until 1565 that he was able to return to Higashimino and add 10,000 koku to Kanayama Castle in Keer County, and this time he finally mastered the land of the two prefectures, and the commander-in-chief increased 45,000 koku, and his large seal was also expected by Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Nobumoto Hosokawa! Give you Ximino unbroken, 50,000 stone in Shijin County, and promote you to the elder of the family. In addition to the 3,000 koku of Debun Castle, the remaining 13,000 koku were served. ”

"I am willing to die for the Lord!" Hosokawa Nobumoto also bowed his respects, and his face was also full of excitement, and anyone whose territory doubled all of a sudden would be like this. And this location is exactly what Hosokawa Nobumoto had in mind, close to the river and Ise country, it is the only passage to Gyeonggi, and there are the Bupo clan and the Takenaka clan as subordinates in the territory.

However, this Takenaka clan is currently the Takenaka Heavy Moment of Bodhi Mountain Castle and the Lord of Changsong Castle Takenaka Shigeri, one is the brother of Takenaka Hanbei, and the other is the cousin of Takenaka Hanbei, when Hanbei left the North Omi, he gave 6,000 stone to the heavy moment and 3,000 stone to the heavy profit.

"Shibata Katsuya! Sealed 20,000 Zhixing and promoted to the elder of the family! ”

"Niwa Nagahide! Sealed 20,000 Zhixing and promoted to the elder of the family! ”

"I am willing to be loyal and dedicated to the Lord's family!" They also thanked Oda Nobunaga, and their years of hard work paid off.

"Takigawa Kazuki. I will give you 20,000 stones in Xiejiang City and serve as the county representative of Haixi County. ”

"Thank you, Lord! May I be loyal to the Lord's family! Takigawa Ichiyi bowed to the end, and he didn't expect that he would have his share. Hosokawa Nobugen looked at Takigawa Kazuyi thoughtfully, to be honest, he didn't expect such a thick seal, it seems that Oda Nobunaga is planning to make him the chief general of the Northern Ise Raiders.

"Ikeda Hengxing! Give you 32,000 stone from Inuyama Castle in Niwa County, and 14,000 stone from the former Kasugai County to serve the old lord. Hayashi then called Ikeda Tsuneko, Oda Nobunaga's brother.

"Yes. I am willing to be loyal and dedicated to the Lord's family. Ikeda's attitude is serious. Inuyama and Mino's strategy, Mori Kecheng and him are the main forces of this attack. Although he didn't have as much credit as Sen Kecheng, he also behaved decently.

"Kinoshita Hideyoshi!" Finally, the monkey was called, Lin Xiuzhen frowned, this monkey probably knew that he was about to be promoted, so he gave up Fujiyoshiro and changed it to Hideyoshi.

"The subordinates are here!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi replied in a loud voice, his face glowing red with excitement.

"Add 7,000 stones to your Sumamata Castle and officially serve as the lord of Sumamata Castle! And promoted to the general of the family! ”

"Thank you, my lord! May I die for the Lord! May I dedicate myself to the Lord's family for generations to come! Kinoshita Hideyoshi prostrate on the floor to thank him, and he also became a retainer of the Oda family.

"That's it! So be it! Oda Nobunaga waved his hand to signal that the monkey could stop the flattery, and he was about to make a final concluding remarks: "The letters of appointment for the territories will be sent to the above-mentioned persons afterwards, and the sub-letters specifying the details will be in the hands of Murai Sadakatsu." He was also responsible for the increase of the remaining territories below five thousand stones. In the future, I hope that you will continue to serve the Oda family with all your loyalty. As long as the family's territory continues to expand, everyone who performs well will naturally have a suitable reward! Oda Nobunaga finally said.

"Yes." All the retainers of the Oda family thanked each other.

Hosokawa Nobumoto peeked at Sakuma Nobumori opposite, and although he tried his best to hide it, he could still see some of his lost expression. Although he was the first family elder promoted by Oda Nobunaga himself, he also took into account the territory of the Sakuma family's one-acre and three-point land every time he fought, so he himself gradually became unpopular with Oda Nobunaga.

As for Lin Xiuzhen, who is headed by Hosokawa Nobumoto, it is inconvenient to observe, and his mood must not be much better, he doesn't even have a hair this time. Although Mori Kesei, who received the biggest promotion this time, was his sister-in-law, he had been an important minister in the family since the time of Oda Nobuhide and was currently the nominal head of the family, but he also began to be marginalized by Oda Nobunaga. Now he has joined Hosokawa Nobumoto, Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, and Mori Kosei, making him gradually lose his influence in various family affairs.

Not only that, but in this evaluation, Oda Nobunaga also specially promoted cronies such as Ikeda Tsuneko, Takigawa Kazuki, Sasa Narumasa, Maeda Toshiie, Kawajiri Hidetaka, and even a peasant like Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was born as a miscellaneous laborer, has formed his Oda Nobunaga's Ichimondo.

Now that the Oda family is united, the total number of Ishigao in the territory of the two countries has reached 1.2 million koku, plus the allies of the Tokugawa family, who have completed the integration of Mikawa, and the Asai family of Kita-Omi, Oda Nobunaga has fully possessed the strength of Kamiraku and defeated the Miyoshi family, the overlord of Kinai.
