It's cool to look at it without ads!
When he saw that Hattori Hanzo had regained his composure, he only heard Tokugawa Ieyasu ask: "Okay, Hanzo, you were born in Iga, do you still know the strength of ninjas in Iga now?" ”
Although Hattori Hanzo has been loyal to the Tokugawa family for many years, he is sure that he has been in contact with many familiar ninjas in Iga Country, and in the case of insufficient manpower, he even relied on his good care for them to ask them to help.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu finished asking, he replied without hesitation: "Back to the lord, the strength of the ninjas in Iga is huge, there are nearly ten large and small ninjas together, among which the strength of the ground Tanba is the most powerful, not only there are nearly 4,000 people under his command, but also several upper ninjas such as Kobe Konan, Takawa Zuobei, Takayama Taro Jiro, and nearly three middle ninjas, not to mention in Iga on such a scale, even if you look at the whole world, it is also the most powerful ninja force."
In addition to the power of the ground Tanba Mamoru , there are also Igazaki Michishun, Takuzhi Sannojo, and Fujibayashi Nagato Mamoru These three upper ninja also divided tens of thousands of stone land.
As for the other ninjas, because there is no upper ninja in charge, their power is limited, this is the current situation of Iga, and I ask the lord to decide. ”
After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but nod and said, "I see, then I'm asking you, what is your relationship with that place Tanba, is it possible to recruit him to my family?" ”
Although Tokugawa Ieyasu doesn't care much about ninja affairs, he also knows the truth, Hattori. The three Fujilin families are the three famous Iga ninjas, so it is likely that there is an inextricable relationship between them, and if they can make the land Tanbo submit, then the strength of the family will increase by at least forty percent, so he couldn't help asking.
But when Hattori Hanzo finished speaking, he knew what he knew. This idea of his own is definitely not realized.,Although it's the same Iga three family.,But the land and Hattori.。 Lin Teng was hostile, and sent Hattori Hanzo to go, which was completely boring. So he could only pin his hopes on the other three upper ninjas, only to hear him ask: "Is it possible that the other three upper ninjas will be recruited?" ”
For the other three, the Hayashi Fuji Hattori Hanzo is not very sure, but Igazaki Michishun and Takuzhi Sannojo, he is still somewhat sure, these two not only have a good relationship with him, but also the two of them are even more envious of their samurai status, as long as the lord can give them samurai status, then they will definitely choose to be loyal.
Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately made a decision after receiving a definite answer. As long as these two people are obedient, they will be given the status of a light head, and as for those little ninjas who only have a middle ninja, Tokugawa Ieyasu has no intention of giving up, and everyone who is willing to submit. Accept them all.
After Hattori Hanzo received the order to leave, he heard Tokugawa Ieyasu speak again: "Everyone, I have received accurate information from Hanzo, Takeda Shingenyi died of illness yesterday, this is a golden opportunity for the family, and now the family has to do it." Not only must the lost territory be regained, but also those wealthy families who betrayed their family must be completely eradicated, I don't know what you have to say. ”
The retainers present did not have much sympathy for the power of the wavering wealthy clans, and they agreed with the lord's statement very much, although the country of Yuanjiang was nominally the land of the family, but there was too much land controlled by the wealthy clan, if considered from the perspective of the family, this was very unfavorable to the Tokugawa family's Fazhan, and if considered from their own point of view, they also did not want these wealthy families to continue to exist.
In the previous wars, he should have been sealed, but it was precisely because his family did not have enough land that it would be delayed again and again, and if those wealthy clans could be eliminated, the land under their rule would all be vacated, and after this war was over, it was not clear which city the lord would give to him, so how could anyone object.
Seeing that his retainers had the same thoughts as himself, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not want to waste any more time, and in addition to leaving a thousand troops to defend Hamamatsu, the rest of the thousands of troops were divided into three by him, and they attacked the wealthy clans of the Takeda family in the territory in three different directions.
Sakai Tadaji led the five to recover the castle that the Takeda family had taken away, and with the order of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Tokugawa family also moved.
The retreat of the Takeda family is too hurried, and many wealthy families have not yet received this news in a hurry to the far river, because they have returned to Takeda, it can be said that this half month of life is the most comfortable period of time they lived, the strength of the Takeda family is in front of them, not to mention the Tokugawa family, even the Oda family cannot be the opponent of the Takeda family, so that the Takeda family has a good grasp of the success of Shangluo, which means that the world is about to settle down, and the war is about to end.
And he chose to return to obedience at this critical juncture, so once the world is decided, as long as he and the subsequent family master do not make mistakes, then the family can at least enjoy the peace of the year.
However, with the arrival of the Tokugawa family's army, their beautiful illusions were also shattered, not to mention that these wealthy families were defenseless at all, even if they were prepared, they could not be the opponent of the Tokugawa family's army, at this most critical moment, they still wanted to return to the Tokugawa family's Huaibao, but the Tokugawa samurai did not give them such a chance at all, but what did they say, but the Tokugawa samurai had only one son in their hearts, that is, kill!
Although there are a lot of wealthy families in the Yuanjiang country, the strength of each family is not strong, and the incident happened suddenly, there is no possibility for them to unite, so in less than ten days, the Yuanjiang country was completely pacified by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and with the uprooting of the wealthy families in the Yuanjiang country, the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Tokugawa Ieyasu has also approached eighty percent of the total stone high.
Although after the war, he had to give half of the land to the retainers who had made great contributions in several wars, but even so, the land under his direct jurisdiction had reached hundreds of thousands of koku, and with these lands, he had already entered the ranks of the powerful daimyo in the world.
Soon after the pacification of the Enoe Kingdom, Tokugawa Ieyasu had not yet recovered from his joy, and he received a report from his attendants that Hattori Hanzo had led nearly 2,000 ninjas into Enoe and would arrive at Hamamatsu Castle on the same day.
"Lord, the subordinates are fortunate to live up to their mission, not only Igazaki Michishun and Takuzhi Sannojo accept the lord's recruitment, even those small and medium-sized ninjas in Iga are willing to submit, this time the subordinates recruited a total of 1,070 ninjas for their own family, in addition to Igazaki Michishun, Takuzhi Sannojo The two upper ninjas, there are nearly seventy middle ninjas, and now they are in Hamamatsu City, and the lord is also invited to decide."
Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, and said with a rare smile: "Okay, you did a good job in this matter, and in recognition of your merits, I decided to give you five stones of Zhixing." ”
"Thank you for the generous reward, and your subordinates will swear allegiance to the lord."
"Okay, you arrange for the ninjas to rest first, and then wait for Michishun Igazaki and Takunao Sannojo to come to the castle tower to see each other." You are welcome to come, your support is my greatest motivation. )
