"Your Majesty is here!" Ikeda Hengxing quickly came out of the queue, bowed down, and looked at the generous rewards in front of him, he was also envious, jealous and hateful. But in this battle, he really didn't have much credit, that is, he played a soy sauce around Mino, and I'm afraid that even Sakuma Nobumori's merits are not as good.

"In this battle, the Akiyama Nobutomo Mino expedition was fought back to pacify the Mino Kingdom, defend the rear, and force back the Takeda family's Nobutomo Mino expedition... Special reward for Itami Castle in Settsu Province, 100,000 Zhixing in the three counties of Dongcheng, Xicheng and Sumiyoshi! Former Owari Province, Niwa-gun, Inuyama Castle, 32,000 stones. As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even Ikeda Hengxing was stunned.

Oda Nobunaga gave him this nursing brother a hard time, and gave him the great credit of forcing Takeda to retreat. Everyone knows this, there was no battle between the two families at all, and Akiyama Nobutomo also withdrew Kai because of the crushing defeat of Takeda Katsuyori.

"Lord... Lord? "Ikeda Hengxing is a little restless, if this is ashamed, how many people will be jealous, especially... Nobumoto Hosokawa.

At this time, Hosokawa Nobuyuan was also shocked, today's reward, no matter how you look at it, you feel that you are rising and falling?

The three counties of Dongsei, Seisei, and Sumiyoshi are small in size and can be said to be very small. However, it is located on a flat area, and many rivers such as the Yodo River, Shimano River, Kizu River, and Hirano River are intersected by dogs and teeth to meet in Osaka Bay. Therefore, its soil is loose, the effect of water and fertilizer retention is good, the organic matter content is high, the sand content is moderate, the water proportion is about 30%, the soil is easily broken by hand, and it is an extremely fertile natural granary.

Ishiyama Honganji Temple is located in the middle of these three counties and covers about one-fifth of the area. Even so, the monk's field in the temple alone can produce 20,000 koku, which can be seen. In addition, there is a town of Ishiyama in front of Honganji, and it is a large market with visitors and merchants from all over the world.

"There's nothing to hesitate about, I'll leave this place to you, just let you deal with those bald asses at Honganji! Take Ishiyama Honganji Temple in three years! If you can't complete the task, not only will the old collar be served, but the new collar will also be confiscated! Oda Nobunaga's expression was serious, and he had an attitude that did not allow others to disagree.

"Yes! Please rest assured! Your Majesty will do everything you can, and within three years, you will definitely take the Ishiyama Honganji Temple! Ikeda Hengxing was so frightened that he hurriedly thanked him, and his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

After Oda Nobunaga said this, the people below no longer dared to have any objections, it seems that whether he can get this 100,000 Zhixing depends on whether he Ikeda Hengxing has this ability.

Hosokawa Nobumoto knew that Ishiyama Honganji was fortified and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and in history, Sakuma Nobumori spent four years before he could capture it, and the final result was that he was exiled to Koyasan by Oda Nobunaga.

However, the current situation is much better than in history, and the main reason for Sakuma Nobumori's defeat is that it was unable to contain the sea lanes in Osaka Bay, which led to the Maori navy being able to transport food to Honganji in time.

Now, the Hosokawa family's new ironclad ship is nearing completion and will sweep across the Sea of Japan. If Hosokawa Nobugen can help Ikeda Tsuneko, then he will soon be able to complete his mission, and after capturing Ishiyama Honganji, he will have more than 120,000 Zhixing.

"Alright, let's start the feast!" Seeing that it was almost noon, Oda Nobunaga was obviously hungry.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! The little surnamed Senranmaru slapped three times in a row, and the attendants began to put the table on the table in an orderly manner, bringing a plate of exquisite side dishes, a pot of sake, and a wine cup in turn.

"Happy New Year!" Oda Nobunaga first took the sake cup and drank it all.

"Happy New Year!" Everyone picked up the wine cup in their hands and drank it all.

"Let's eat!" Oda Nobunaga picked up a delicate carrot and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it with relish.

Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the high-quality dishes in front of him and was speechless for a while, what is this? Two finger-wide fish, a plate of pickled radish, a bowl of miso soup, a bowl of rice, and some wild vegetables that are not famous? In his eyes, these were not enough to feed the birds, and what he ate at home was very luxurious.

In fact, it is already good to be able to eat this in this era, and today's meal is called Honzen cuisine, which will only appear in a few formal occasions, such as weddings and funerals, coming-of-age ceremonies and festival banquets, and the dishes range from five dishes and two soups to seven dishes and three soups.

"Hey, forget it, let's do it first, and then I'll fight the tooth sacrifice when I get home." Hosokawa Nobumoto felt that he was not suitable for eating out, and when he saw that others were satisfied with what they were eating, and they were drunk, he seemed a little indecent.

At this time, musicians and geisha came to the middle, began to sing and dance, and performed their talents to their heart's content, and the retainers began to come alive and find their friends to have a good drink.

Oda Nobunaga pinched his mustache and watched with interest as the people below had fun, skimming the people on both sides, the most striking being Hosokawa Nobumoto and Akechi Mitsuhide. Neither of them seems to be in high spirits, one is a strict and stereotypical kumquat head of his own, and the other is a glutton with a unique penchant for eating, which is the conclusion that Oda Nobunaga has made about them.

"Hosokawa-sama, Hosokawa-sama, come, I'll give you a drink." Ikeda came over at this time and toasted Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Oh, Ikeda-sama, I haven't been in a hurry yet, congratulations, come on, do it first!" As soon as Hosokawa Nobumoto raised his neck, the sake slid down his throat and into his abdomen, with a faint sour and spicy taste, with the aroma of rice, the overall feeling was quite refreshing.

"Hehe, Hosokawa-sama said with a smile, I'm still worried about how to capture Ishiyama Honganji, you must know that those bald donkeys are not fuel-efficient lamps. "Ikeda began to hang his head as if he had been punished instead of being rewarded today.

"Don't worry, Ikeda-sama is a close neighbor, so if there is anything you need to help with, just ask! We will do everything we can to help you accomplish this mission. Hosokawa Nobumoto patted his chest and made a promise.

"That's so grateful, come on, come on, and toast you two more glasses!" With this assurance, Ikeda Hengxing put his heart in his stomach.

Hosokawa Nobumoto drank two more glasses with Ikeda Hengxing, and he knew in his heart that Oda Nobunaga obviously wanted to give this fertile land to Ikeda Hengxing. Otherwise, he would not have given him the fortified Itami City as a stronghold for attacking the fortifications, and you must know that in fact, Hosokawa Fujitaka is a real empty glove white wolf.

The banquet lasted until the night, and many of the retainers took their leave, leaving only the three daimyo of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Matsunaga Hide, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, Hosokawa Nobumoto, Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, and Takigawa Kazuyi, as well as Oda Nobutada, who accompanied him, and Akechi Mitsuhide, who served as the head of the Imperial Food Commission.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this year I have worked hard with my family. Tonight, I have prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone! Oda Nobunaga smiled proudly, and Hosokawa Nobumoto's heart chuckled, wondering if it could be made into a sake cup from the skulls of Asai Hisasa, Nagamasa and his son, and Asakura Yoshikei?
