Chapter 247: Succession
"Wronged! Ukyo-sama! I'm really loyal to the Oda family.,Please also ask Ukyo-sama to see it! Hoda Zhizong hurriedly explained, looking extremely aggrieved.
"However, even if Lord Hoda says so, I'm very distressed below, this empty talk, how can I substitute for the main bus?" Nobumoto Hosokawa is also an acting school, with a sad face.
"This..."Baotian Zhizong understands it, it's okay to show loyalty, but there must be hostages as collateral, but Baotian's family is only him, and the scene is a little deserted.
"Lord, Lord Baoda has no children and no daughters under his knees for the time being, and the lord is too embarrassed for him." Honda Masanobu suddenly opened his mouth to intercede on behalf of Hoda Tomomune, which provoked the latter to nod gratefully.
"Oh, I see!" Hosokawa Nobumoto seems to have heard of it for the first time, and the two cooperate seamlessly.
"But what can I do? So can Hoda-sama have a guarantor? Hosokawa Nobumoto lowered his head and asked.
"It's... No..."Hoda Zhizong said dejectedly, the Zong family was destroyed by the Hosokawa family, and the main family Tayama Shogao was murdered again, and he had no backer for a small wealthy family.
"Hoda-sama, isn't it okay to adopt an heir who can be inherited?" Honda Masanobu seemed to be concerned and gave him an idea.
"It's good, it's good, but where are you going to have your adopted son now?" Tomomune Hoda has also thought about this problem, but he hasn't found the right person yet.
In Japanese beliefs, the continuation of the family name is the most important thing, and if there are no children, it is common for an adopted son to inherit the family name. As for whether this adopted son is biological or not, or whether he is a member of the sect, it doesn't matter.
"Lord, why don't you help Lord Baotian and see if there is a suitable candidate, my subordinates really can't bear to watch the Baotian family die out." Honda Masanobu has the image of a good old man, and he moved Hoda Zhizong into a mess, if he can succeed one from the Hosokawa family, then his Hokuda family will climb to the top of the branch.
"Hmm... Let me think..."Hosokawa Nobumoto seemed to be moved by the words, and began to think silently.
"Sosui Yoshida!" Suddenly, Nobumoto Hosokawa shouted at a small surname next to him.
"Yes! Lord, subordinates are here! Yoshida was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly came out of the line to salute, not knowing what the lord called him, he was Hosokawa Nobumoto's small surname and doctor.
"Hoda-sama, what do you think of this young man?" Hosokawa Nobumoto pointed at Yoshida Sosui and asked in a semi-inquiring tone.
"It's... The... Well... The meter is extraordinary... Hmm..."Hoda Tomomune looked at this Yoshida Sosui who looked like a weak scholar, and didn't know how to praise him, and he was still beating a drum in his heart, could it be that he wanted this male pet to pass over? He wasn't happy about that.
"Lord Hoda, don't you know, this is the second son of my Hosokawa family's old Yoshida Sokei! He is not only proficient in both civil and military affairs, but also proficient in medical skills, but he is a close minister of my lord's side. Honda Masanobu could tell at a glance what he was thinking from his expression.
"Oh? Is it! Oops, rudeness, rudeness, clumsy in the lower eye, and look at Yoshida-sama Haihan! When Hoda Tomomune heard that he was the son of the elder of the Hosokawa family, he was overjoyed, and he heard that the status of the Yoshida family in the Hosokawa family was not low.
Yoshida Sokatsu was one of the first people to follow Hosokawa Nobumoto, and brought out many disciples along the way, and it is said that this Honda Masanobu is one of them, and it can be said that he is full of peach and plum.
His own pen head is the old man of the family that no one can shake, and his son-in-law is still the famous Izumo Daimyo Niko Motohisa in recent years. Therefore, he was able to climb this relationship with Tian Zhizong, and it was also his ancestors who burned high incense.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Hoda is too polite." Yoshida Sosui was a little embarrassed to be praised, he was only excellent in medical skills, and the others were mediocre in the Hosokawa family.
"Thank you for your support, and I wish to accept Yoshida-sama as my adopted son, and inherit the family name of the Hoda family in the future. My Hoda family is willing to be loyal to the Oda family for generations, and to be friends with the Hosokawa family for generations, this is a letter of allegiance under the next, and I hope that Ukyo-sama can transfer it to the lord on his behalf. Hoda Zhizong took out the letter of allegiance that he had been carrying for a long time and presented it with both hands.
"Well, in the future, our two families will be a family, don't be so polite, Lord Baotian, please get up and talk back." Hosokawa Nobumoto motioned to take the letter of allegiance, and after reading the contents to confirm that it was correct, he put it away.
"Thank you, Hosokawa-sama!" Tomomune Hoda finally got up from the ground, and now he has officially joined the Oda family.
As the Hosokawa family continued to expand externally, there were many large and small forces encountered, and Hosokawa Nobugen could not and could not destroy all the family names.
Therefore, he now implements the practice of fighting one faction and pulling another faction, and for outstanding talents or families, he will be drawn into the Hosokawa family's system, such as the Ataku family in Awaji Province. Other big road goods such as the Hoda family appeased or installed their own people, and occasionally kicked a few to Oda Nobunaga, which was considered tribute.
"Hoda-sama, you've lived in Kii Province for a long time, so you should be familiar with the local terrain, right? Especially in the Koyasan area. As soon as Hosokawa Nobumoto settled Arita County, his eyes were set on Naga and Ito in the Koyasan area.
"Hosokawa-sama, I've lived here since I was a child, and my family's incense has always been in Kao-in Temple in Koyasan. Therefore, it cannot be said that you are familiar with all the terrain, but it is still about the same to know seven or eight out of ten. Hoda Zhizong said confidently, he goes to Huawang Courtyard every year to offer incense. And every time there is a big or small thing, they have to visit Koyasan, these mountains are extremely complicated in the eyes of outsiders, and in the eyes of their locals, they can almost touch the location of the mountain gate with their eyes closed.
"Great, can you please lead the family to draw a topographic map of Koyasan?" Hosokawa Nobumoto was overjoyed, there is nothing wasteful in this world, it depends on whether you will explore his potential and make good use of his strengths.
"But it's up to Hosokawa-sama to call the shots!" Tomomune Hoda accepted the job very obediently.
"Newspaper... Lord! Takamasa Tayama gathered the Yukawa people and the Kii people together, and it is said that more than 6,000 people had been gathered, and they were now marching to the area around the Hitakaka River. Hattori Masaaki hurried over and brought the latest information from the surrounding area.
"Oh? So many people? I didn't expect this Tianshan Takamasa to be so appealing... This was really unexpected. Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned, he was not afraid of fighting, he was afraid of a famous person like Tayama Takamasa. Once you don't put it to death completely, it's easy to make him come back and make trouble for you endlessly, just as annoying as the Hexagon. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
