Early in the morning, Hosokawa Nobumoto convened the assessment meeting early, and except for those who were too far away and needed to stay behind, they were basically all there.

"Haruhi!" Hosokawa Nobumoto first called out his brother's name.

"Yes! Please command! Haruyuki Hosokawa bowed respectfully.

"Go and take Hida Country down for me!" Hosokawa Nobumoto said with no doubt.

"Yes!" Hosokawa Haruyuki replied very simply, don't look at Hida Country as a country, but the land is barren and the productivity is very low, only less than 40,000 koku high. However, due to its high forest coverage and abundant forestry resources, it is a major exporter of timber for fortified cities, and it is valued as a producer of strategic resources, especially when timber can be transported south along the Hida River by water to Mino Province and sent to other countries.

"After you take it, it will be your fiefdom, but Haixi County will be served!" Hosokawa Nobumoto's words are like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, doesn't this mean that the Hosokawa family gave birth to the first lord of the country!

"It's... This. "Hosokawa Haruyuki is a little at a loss, the chief family elder in front of him, Yoshida Sokatsu, has not yet become the lord of the country, and he, the family elder who has just been promoted this year, is in charge of such a large territory, which is so hated.

"What? Not confident? Hosokawa Nobumoto whispered, and from Haruhyuki's performance, it was as if he saw that Ikeda Hengxing was awarded the title of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and it was also this expression.

"It's... There are..."Two thousand standing reserves are enough to sweep the poor Hida country, and Hosokawa Haruyuki naturally won't say no against his will.

"Then do it! Besides, you haven't taken the Hida Kingdom yet, so it's not your domain yet! If you can't take it! Hmph, Haixi County still has to serve the public! Hosokawa Nobumoto also followed Oda Nobunaga's example and began to spur Haruyuki.

"Huh? Be! Your Majesty will definitely take down Hida Country! Hosokawa Haruyuki didn't dare to say anything, he must not fail, otherwise he would be poor and white.

"Good!" Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded, he is going to start promoting a sect and developing a sect now, after all, his heir is still young and cannot be canonized. Looking at the ministers in the family, only the adopted son-in-law Niko Motohisa, his younger brother Hosokawa Haruyuki, and the adopted son-in-law Horiuchi are good.

"It seems that there is still a lot of development to the public, and to create more villains, if you can't do it, you can take a few more adopted daughters to marry, by the way, the three sisters of Asai." At this time, Hosokawa Nobugen thought in his heart, only to realize that the whole family was withering, mainly because he himself was a young family head, and the Hosokawa family was also half an emerging family, and he was ready to include Oda City in the harem.

"In addition, order Motojiu to defend the mainland, guard Harima Province with officers and soldiers, closely monitor the Maori family, and report any changes immediately!" Hosokawa Nobumoto gave another garrison order.

"Yes! The subordinates will convey the strict orders of the lord! "Honda Masanobu will record it on his behalf and will inform all parties after the meeting.

"I decided to make it easier before the hardest, and give priority to eradicating the weak forces and cutting off their wings! And then fight them again! "Hosokawa Nobugen refers to a member of the Anti-Hosokawa Alliance.

"Then dare to ask the lord, where to start first?" Honda Masanobu asked the key point.

"Hmm... The Hida country is sunny enough, and I decided to first crusade against the Yamana family of Inaba and Tajima, and open up the land passage with Motohisa. "Hosokawa Nobumoto has already made a decision, and the persimmon is picked up and pinched first.

"In addition, the Echizen Reserve was established, with an establishment of 2,000 people, and Mikoda Masaharu was promoted to a subordinate general and assumed the position of commander!" Hosokawa Nobumoto began to expand his armaments again, and the more troops he directly administered, the better.

"Thank you for the promotion! The subordinates are willing to do their best and die! Miko Tian Masaharu knelt down after class, tears of excitement. Years of loyalty were finally rewarded, and he was the last of the "Hosokawa Three Army Divisions" to be promoted to general, and the others were happy for him.

"Kagabe was established, with a staff of 2,000 people, led by Maeda Toshiie! The establishment of the Nengengbei, the establishment of 2,000, the commander of the Zuo Cheng Zheng! Hosokawa Nobumoto also incorporated the newly recruited Oda relict into the ranks of his own reserve.

"Thank you for your trust! The subordinates are willing to serve the Lord wholeheartedly! "Maeda Toshiya and Sasa Narumasa went out to receive the order.

"Except for the left-behind Himeji Bei and the three newly established reserve teams, the other reserve teams will go out with me! Ten days later, assemble at Tsuruga Port! At that time, the Tango Navy will greet the army and reach Tajima Province by water! Hosokawa Nobumoto finally ended the military discussion with the Tsukima Kingdom.

Soon, the reserves from all over the country began to assemble, and the port of Tsuruga in Echizen Province was suddenly crowded, with a total strength of 25,000. This included the Wind Riding Battalion, the Fire Feather Battalion, the Thunder Cannon Battalion, and ten reserves, as well as the Dark Ninja Battalion, because most of the Tajima and Inaba were mountainous terrains.

"Board the ship! Hurry aboard! "The Tango Navy arrived on time, and the Hosokawa Army boarded the ship in turn.

Inside a huge Seki ship, Hosokawa Nobumoto sat on the main seat, and below him were two kneeling samurai, one of whom was the Tango Navy General Nasa Hi "Honsuke".

"Is the itinerary all arranged?" Hosokawa Nobumoto asked Nasano, "Honsuke."

"Back to the main hall! Everything is ready, and the route is guaranteed to be foolproof, thanks to Yamana-sama! "Nasano," Honsuke replied respectfully, and the Yamana-sama he was talking about was Toyokuni Yamana, who was kneeling beside him.

"Well, you've worked hard." Hosokawa Nobumoto praised two sentences without being salty, and Toyokuni Yamana nodded excitedly.

The Yamana clan, one of the four positions of the shogunate, is also considered a famous family, and in its heyday it was guarded by 11 countries, accounting for one-sixth of the country's 66 countries, so it has the title of "one temple out of six". However, after repeated wars, only Inaba and Tajima remained, and it was still a situation where the family was divided and the important ministers were in control.

The current head of the Yamana family is Yamana Yutoyo, a Yamana family that will be divided, and the wise family governor will be reunited again, and will be in charge of Inaba and Tajima. He took charge of Tajima Province himself, sent his younger brother Toyosada to Inaba, and granted him the guardian of Inaba, strengthening the control of the two countries.

After the death of Toyoshi Yamana, Yutoyo let his eldest son, Totoyo, inherit the protection of Inaba and continue to maintain the rule of the two countries. But the good times didn't last long, but his son Dongfeng died early, only eighteen years old. The second son is going to inherit his family business in the future, and the third son has just been born, and it is unknown whether he can pass the early childhood, so he had to appoint Toyota's son Toyosu to inherit Inaba.

Within two years of his succession to Inaba Province, Toyosu Yamana was rebelled against by his retainer Takanobu Takeda and expelled from Tottori Castle, where he soon died of depression. Takeda Takanobu then changed the name of the mountain to Toyohiro as the guardian of Inaba Shin, who was the younger brother of Yutoyo who was forcibly brought in to be the head of the puppet family.

And the mountain name Toyokuni in front of Hosokawa Nobumoto is the son of Toyosaki and the younger brother of Toyosu, when Niko Motohisa recaptured Izumo Province, the two of them agreed to be allies and help each other to restore the country.

Later, both returned to the country, and Yamana Toyokuni, with the help of Niko Motohisa, defeated Takeda Takanobu, exiled Yamana Toyosuke, and regained control of Inaba Province.
