Hosokawa Nobumoto's fleet set sail after only half a day, and he left 500 Suzuki iron artillery teams to defend the castle, under the command of Suzuki Shigetoki.

The fleet traveled along Kii Bay to Saga Castle, which had begun to take shape after being repaired by the Horiuchi clan, but outside the castle was dilapidated and looked like it had just been ransacked.

It turned out that in the battle of Tennoji Temple, the Shingon sect's Nerai people, the three groups of Saga, and the Saga people of the Ichijo sect became mortal enemies.

The leaders of the three groups of Sakaga, Genzo Matsuda, Miyamoto Bingbu, Saburo Kurimura, and Kiyosuke Irumobo of the Roots, were all killed in that night attack, and only Ota Dinghisa of Miyakyo and Suginobo of Neraiji Temple escaped with their lives.

The first thing they did when they came back was to gather the followers of the Shingon sect and slaughter the Suzuki family in Tonosato, and Suzuki Shigeyi was also killed.

When Shigehide Suzuki led the remnants of the defeated army and returned from Honganji, of course, he was so angry that he directly slaughtered Nakago and Nango, and finally formed a confrontation situation with Ota Dingjiu and Nerai in Miyako.

When Hosokawa Nobumoto and the others came back, they happened to encounter a fight between the two sides. As soon as Suzuki and Nerai saw the arrival of the Hosokawa naval army, they immediately ceased fire and sent envoys, hoping to let Hosokawa Nobumoto arbitrate.

"Ukyo-sama, you have to call the shots for us! The Sect has always been too crazy, this cult must be eradicated, please help us. Ota Dingjiu cried a handful of snot and tears, feeling like a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged.

"Lord Ukyo, I, Kii Zaga and Genlai, are mercenaries, and the so-called use of people's money to eliminate disasters for others, these two armies are at war, and life and death are mutually assured. This kind of behavior that harms the family after the incident hurts Tianhe, and it is shameless for them to say that they are people who believe in Buddhism! "Okakishi is representing the Suzuki family, and his sharp little mouth is simply amazing.

"My lord said that he was willing to serve Suzuki Motoshige as the head of the Suzuki family, and sincerely worship under the door of the Hosokawa family. Please also store it in the main hall! After saying that, Okamichi made a big salute on the spot and saw Hosokawa Nobumoto again.

"Oh? Is it? That..."Hosokawa Nobumoto was about to say a good word, but he saw Ota Dingjiu also running over and bowing to the end.

"My lord! Lord! Please take it in! It seems that he also knows the truth of "helping relatives but not helping".

"Uh... This..."Hosokawa Nobumoto was in trouble, and for the first time someone came to kneel and lick him, not knowing whose allegiance to accept.

"The Great Hall! My Suzuki family is good at iron cannons and water armies. If the main hall can take in the family, it will definitely help the hegemony of the main hall. What qualifications does the Ota family have to become a direct minister of the main hall? At best, he is just an inaccessible countryman, not even a wealthy family. In order to sell his house for a good price, Okamichi is constantly slandering others to raise his value.

"It's... This... You... I.... "Ota Dingjiu hesitated for a long time, and he didn't say why.

"Hey... Then..."Seeing the stupidity of Ota Dinghisa, Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to choose the Suzuki family.

"My lord! Oh no! O Great Hall! He's a small retainer, what qualifications does he have to decide the affairs of the Suzuki family? It's better to call Suzuki Shigehide to come over, if he doesn't dare to come, it means that he is simply deceiving Lord Ukyo! In the future, I will also find the master of Genrai Temple, the master of Zhaoshu, and confront the Suzuki family in court! Ota was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to call Hosokawa Nobumoto, but his proposal was very good, and Hosokawa Nobumoto asked the heads of the two families to come on the spot.

Soon, Suzuki Shigehide and Suginobo came to the plan, and Suzuki Shigehide recognized Okashinomasa's statement on the spot, but Suginobo Zhaosuke seemed a little hesitant.

"Count it on! What are you waiting for! Tsuda on the side was in a hurry, and hurriedly reminded his younger brother that he had followed Hosokawa Nobumoto for many days, and he figured it out, and he had followed the Hosokawa family all his life, and he went all the way to the dark.

"Uh... Brother? Shanzhifang was stunned, this is different from what they said, isn't one of them listening to the news inside, and the other is independent outside?

"Since your brother doesn't want to, then forget it." Hosokawa Nobumoto was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to accompany them to fight each other and grind foreign work.

"No, no. The lord is still a subordinate of his subordinates, and he is a subordinate of his subordinates. Count! Don't hurry up to meet the main hall! Come on... Fast. At the end of the sentence, Tsuda was squeezing his eyebrows, and whispered to Suginobo to do the same.

"Huh? Is it ......? "Cedar Fang" hurriedly stepped forward to salute and called the main hall. He thought that Hosokawa Nobumoto was going to cut him, but in fact, he wanted to do something.

"Subordinate Suzuki Shigehide see the main hall! I wish Hosokawa's parents a prosperous and prosperous palace! Shigehide Suzuki also came out and sat side by side with Suginobo and bowed.

He figured it out, his father was gone, his brother was arrested, and his son was now the head of the Suzuki family. What else do you have to do? Anyway, in the future, the family business will be passed on to the son, and it doesn't matter if it is passed on early or late.

"Hmm..."Hosokawa Nobumoto pondered, considering how to solve this matter.

"That's it! In fact, the reason for this is that the teachings of the Ichikozong sect are too extreme......" Hosokawa Nobumoto said this, Suginobo breathed a sigh of relief, and Suzuki Shigehide looked a little nervous.

"Convert! The believers of the original Sect have all been converted! Well... Change to this family's Zen Buddhism! Zen people are good, universal sentient beings, Zen is good, Zen is good. "Proselytizing is the most intuitive effect, and anyone who is unwilling to convert shows that he is a firm believer, a bane in the future territory, and must be bloodily suppressed now.

"Genus... Subordinate... Agree... Conversion. Shigehide Suzuki gritted his teeth, knowing that if he didn't convert, he might not even be able to get out of the door today.

"Lord!" Gangyoshi is hurriedly blocking it, and it is the most taboo to easily change his faith.

"Convert! I say proselytism, conversion, don't you understand! Let everyone have to convert! "Shigehide Suzuki is worthy of being the head of the Suzuki family, and his actions are decisive.

"Yes!" Okamishi Masatsuya hung his head helplessly.

"As for the roots..."

"My lord, my subordinate brother is a monk and can't be converted, so please forgive me. The pedestrians of my Tsuda family are also willing to convert to Zen Buddhism. Tsuda Sumaza hurriedly explained, for fear that the lord would let Genlai Temple change his religion, which was simply impossible.

"Okay, then so be it, in the future, there will be no difference between the Saga people and the root people, and they will be unified into Saga Bei and stationed in Saga Castle. First of all, I will form a 500 standing ashigaru, and during this time, I will first study the "Hosokawa Military Law" and conduct military training for three months, and the appointment of generals will be decided after my triumph from Omi Province. ”

"The Saga Navy is all integrated into the Hosokawa Water Army, and the iron cannon is an independent army, which will be under my personal command for the time being." Hosokawa Nobumoto combined the Tsuda, Suzuki, and Zhezhi teams, and the total strength of the iron artillery reached 2,000 people, and the power increased greatly.

After the arrangements were made, the fleet continued to sail, taking Kii Bay, Kumano Nada, Shima Sea, Ise Bay, and returning to Devon Castle.
