Seeing this, the clan couldn't help but smile slightly, he was very satisfied with the expressions of the four wealthy family heads, the reason why they came with him to watch the military drills under his command today was to make them unable to raise the idea of resisting in the future, and it was the best policy to surrender the soldiers without a fight, judging from their expressions, I am afraid that their goal seems to have been achieved.

The shooting of the heavy vine bow did not stop there, after the projectile, it was a flat shot, and twenty arrow targets were already standing eighty meters opposite them, and Omiya Jinglian gave an order, and his heavy vine bow and ashigaru were immediately divided into five teams, except for the first team, I saw that the remaining four teams retreated one after another, giving way to the field.

"Release the arrow, release the arrow, release the arrow......" After the five teams finished shooting, Omiya Jingren ordered his subordinates to carry the arrow target in front of the clan, and at the same time came to the clan and reported: "Report to the lord, the heavy vine bow and foot light drill is completed, throw the all-hit target, shoot the all-hit target, and ask the lord to decide." ”

After hearing this result, the clan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, very good, order Shigeto to stand by." ”

Shigeto Bow Ashigaru was the last to play, and with the end of their drills, the various armies under their command returned to their usual training, and they were already familiar with this kind of training, so they didn't need samurai to poke there at all.

Although there is no samurai supervision, there is no need to worry that they will be lazy, as long as you are not afraid of death, you can do it, this is tied to life, even if they are lazy, they will not do it.

When all the retainers under their command were gathered on the platform, the four wealthy family heads had not fully recovered from the shock.

Look at the look of surprise on their faces. The clan knew that it was time for a showdown with them.

I saw that he still maintained a smile and said, "How is the strength of the army under my command, the four of you?" ”

"It's quite majestic, and with such an army under the lord's command, it is bound to be invincible." The four of them said in unison as if they had discussed.

"Then what do you think of the military strength of my direct command compared to the military strength under your command?"

I only heard the four of them unanimously admire: "The army under the command of the lord is more than ten times stronger than our army." ”

"The strength of your army is so unbearable, in my opinion, there is no need to hold back. Since you don't need to recruit troops anymore, I don't think this Zhixing used to raise troops is no longer needed. And the cities under your rule are used for defense, but if you don't have the strength to defend them, how can you defend them? So for the sake of the safety of the territory, I think you might as well take your family and move to this Matsukura Castle to live.

Of course, since you have pledged your allegiance to me, I will certainly not treat you badly. It's better to do this, whoever has more than 2,000 stone of land under his rule can enjoy the treatment of a general, and whoever has less than 2,000 stone of land under his rule can enjoy the treatment of a general of Ashigaru. ”

The clan finished speaking in one breath, and didn't give them a chance to interject at all. And when he finished speaking, he saw the four heads of the family looking at each other, they really didn't expect that the purpose of the lord to let him watch the military drill was to seize his land and power.

If you promise, you can continue to live. But they have already enjoyed power, and suddenly they have nothing, how can they be willing, but if they resist now, then it is definitely a dead end, and they will die without the power to fight back. There is simply no chance.

So the only thing they can do now is to beg the clan for mercy, maybe there is still a chance to redeem it.

I saw the four of them hurriedly kneeling on the ground, and one of them Omura Tadamasa hurriedly opened his mouth and begged: "Lord, the land under our rule is passed down from generation to generation by our family, if it is handed over to the lord, I am really sorry for the ancestors, so I also ask the lord to show his kindness, and his subordinates promise that they will definitely be loyal to the lord in the future." ”…,

"Please be gracious to the Lord!"

“……”

The matter that the clan had already decided, how could they change it lightly because of their plea for mercy, only to hear him resolutely say: "There is no need to say it, since you have recognized me as the Lord, then what I just said is an order, can you not disobey the order if you want to?" ”

Speaking of this, I saw that the clan didn't even look at them at all, and said directly to the retainers behind him: "Keiji, Katsusuke, you two immediately lead the army under your command to the cities of the various wealthy clans to set up defenses, there must be no mistake." ”

I saw Katsusuke Tanaka frowning and said, "It's the lord, but if you encounter obstacles from each family, what to do, please tell the lord." ”

Before the clan could speak, he only heard Maeda Keiji say indifferently: "Hey, this is not simple, they have now returned to their own family, if anyone dares to stop it, it is no different from a rebellion, and it will be annihilated directly." ”

"The Takayama Clan, you deceive people too much, I, Heizaburo Nitta, will fight with you." The distance between Heizaburo Nitta and the Takayama clan was only three meters, and he was sure that if he launched a surprise attack, such a short distance, even if he reacted with his retainers, but by that time, the Takayama clan would have already become a corpse.

Although he will also die, but it is worth exchanging one of his rotten lives for the life of the Gaoshan clan, as for his family, they completely went to Takeda, and there was no need to worry about it, so after he yelled, he resolutely pulled out the sword on his waist, stood up violently, and rushed towards the clan.

However, as soon as he stood up, he took a hurried step forward, only to see a flash of cold light, and went straight to his forehead, and with the sound of "poof", he saw Heizaburo Nitta fall to the ground on his back, only a few convulsions, and then he lost his life.

A shuriken was nailed to his throat, and more than half of the shuriken was gone.

"Humph! He actually wants to assassinate me and cancel the status of Heizaburo Nitta as a samurai, Maeda Toshiie, you immediately lead your subordinates to completely eliminate their power, and I want him to know how serious the consequences of assassinating me are. I only heard the clan sect say angrily.

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will do it." The land under the rule of the Xintian family is only 1,600 stones, and now is not the time of war, so the flag in its territory is only more than 200 people, and the Maeda Toshiya led 200 troops to go, which is completely to kill chickens with a slaughtering knife, as long as the army arrives, the Xintian family will be wiped out.

Seeing this, the remaining three family heads couldn't help but tremble with fright, they were just like Heizaburo Nitta, they wanted to fight with the Takayama clan, but it was too late, but it was their slow beat that allowed them to save their lives.

In the Hao Clan, as if nothing had happened just now, he just sighed softly and said: "Alas, I forgot to tell you, this family is not the only one with these forces, in addition to them, there is also a ninja army of 1,500 people, if you want to assassinate me, it is not an easy thing, if you don't believe it, you can try it." ”

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare." The three of them still had the heart to make a move, and when the clan finished speaking, they saw the three of them kowtowing like pounding garlic while talking.

"Since you don't dare, then forget it, but do you have anything else to say about what I just asked?" The clan did not intend to continue to dwell on this matter, so after revealing it, he returned to the topic.

The three of them knew that it would be difficult to escape the fate of defeat in the head-on battle, and if they were assassinated, the clan would die first, and they would die first, and they would still not be able to keep the land under their rule, and now the only way out is to agree to his conditions, but if they really agree, then they will have nothing, and the Gaoshan clan will not trust themselves at all, and once they lose all their strength, they will not let him slaughter at will. …,

So when the clan sect asked again, none of the three of them spoke, and they all quickly calculated in their hearts to see if there was any way to solve it.

Just when the Takayama clan and others were impatient, I saw the Uchijima clan, who was also a Hida clan, walking quickly in front of the clan and said: "My lord, after my subordinates watched the Takayama army drill just now, I know that in front of such an elite, those ashigaru of this family are not the enemies of the same at all, if the family continues to support these ashigaru, it is a complete waste of money, and once there is a strong enemy to attack, then it is impossible to keep the territory with these military forces alone, rather than let the enemy take it, the subordinates think that it is better to sacrifice it to the lord, Therefore, the subordinates are willing to dedicate the land under their rule to the lord, and ask the lord to decide. ”

Ever since the clan stated his purpose, the Unejima clan had been secretly thinking about it, although he, like the wealthy families in the world, also did not want to give up the territory under his rule.

He knew that because of his meritorious service, the lord should not embarrass himself, so that the territory will be preserved, but speaking of which he is still a wealthy family, he will never be trusted by the lord, and he will not be able to gain the trust of the lord, so he can get greater development in the future, even if he makes meritorious service in the future and gets a reward of three or five thousand stones, what is the use, I am afraid that the inner island family will always be a small wealthy family that does not enter the stream.

Once the territory is handed over, then the situation will be very different, without the territory, he can quickly integrate into the Takayama family, with the ability of the lord, and the strength of the Takayama family, the Unejima clan has absolute confidence that the Takayama family will never stop at the Feida country, this is just the first step for the lord to take the stage.

As the strength of the family becomes stronger and stronger, when the main hall calms down the world, I am afraid that the lord will also become a daimyo, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, and after gaining the trust of the lord, it should not be difficult to become a lord of tens of thousands of stones after a few or ten years.

At that time, the inner island family will no longer be a small wealthy family that everyone is stepping on, at least it will become a small big name, although there is a small word in front of it, but the small rich family will only be stepped on, and the small big name can step on people, and the two must not be the same. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
