"If Ono is united, there will be six countries around the Oda family, including Ise, Omi, Echizen, Hida, Shinano, and Mikawa. Today's alliance with the Oda family is the Mikawa Matsudaira family and the Omi Asai family, and my Hosokawa family is located in Owari Chita County, close to Mikawa Province, which is indeed not conducive to the development of my Hosokawa family. "Honda Masanobu began to take the lead in analyzing the surrounding forces, first rejecting the Mikawa direction.

"Ise is not a good place, there are many large and small forces, known as a small warring state, and there is a very dangerous hidden danger of Nagashima Ichishozong." Masayuki Sanada, who was the second to speak, denied another Ise direction.

"The Shinano direction is even more undesirable, but there is Takeda Shingen, who is known as the "Kai Tiger", and even the main hall is currently considering an alliance with the Takeda family. In addition, the Oda family did not border Shinano, but used the local Endo family as a buffer zone between the two families. Masaharu Mikoda also put forward his own opinion.

"Hida Country is located in the mountains and forests, and the population in the territory is also very sparse, and it is in the land of four wars, and if you don't play well, you are likely to be trapped in it." Shima Katsu is close to the Hosokawa family, which can be described as both civil and military.

"Echizen? However, there is also the Echizen Ichisho sect there, which is said to have been fighting with the Asakura family for decades. "The old Yoshida Sogui has gradually been unable to keep up with the rhythm of the Hosokawa family, who has made the Hosokawa family too fierce, but Rao is so, Hosokawa Nobugen will not be as arrogant as Oda Nobunaga to exile the old ministers of the family.

"That's Omi? But Omi's Rokkaku family is the in-laws of the lord's father-in-law, this...? Tao Qingxian said uncertainly, feeling that it was so stripped that it seemed that only Omi Province was suitable.

"But this Omi country is the only way to Kyoto, will the main hall give such an important position to the main family?" Hattori asked everyone's questions, and he pursued it as a monomi, and once the direction of his family's strategy changed, he also needed to make appropriate adjustments.

"Definitely! First, I am an important minister of the Oda family, and I will definitely serve as the chief commander of the strategy in one aspect; Second, I am the sister-in-law of the lord and one of the most reassuring candidates for the lord; Thirdly, the Lord is determined to be the world, and Omi seems to be the only way to enter Kyoto at present, but in the future it may only be a relatively wide passage. ”

"So, when the time is ripe, I will ask the lord for Omi's strategy. In this case, there is a possibility that the current territory of the family will be transferred, so please be prepared. After listening carefully to everyone's discussion, Hosokawa Nobumoto became more determined in his thoughts.

"Yes! May I be loyal to the Lord's family! "All the retainers saluted together, and the content of today's meeting can be described as full of chicken blood.

"Then, the next policy of the family is tentatively set to attack Omi. Hattori Baocho! The main direction of attack was changed to Mino and Omi, and it was necessary to do a good job of wartime intelligence work. With the policy set, Hosokawa began to deploy specific tasks.

"Yes! His Majesty received the order, please rest assured that the current situation can be taken into account at the same time. Hattori security chief leaned over and said.

"Taunima! Dewen Bei continues to maintain daily training, and the gun is light enough to strengthen the weapons and equipment, and the standing equipment of the lord has been changed to three and a half rooms (5.6 meters), and the family must also be optimized. This spear is not only advantageous in the battle, but also very effective against the cavalry, and in the battle formation, the master of Kamizumi can also participate in it. After speaking, Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at Hidetsuna Ueizumi, and he knew that the "Kamizumi-ryu Military Method" was one of the most practical military methods today.

"Yes, my lord, your majesty will optimize the standing equipment and train the spear foot light to resist the cavalry formation." Tao Qingxian and Kamiizumi Hidetsuna led the order together.

"Akinobu Nakajima, who sent an order to Kyoto, and Ryoza Konishi of Kaimachi, in addition to continuing to maintain the trade route, can appropriately contact the information of Gyeonggi, and as for the intelligence personnel, they will be sent by the hidden fog." Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to start the underground party mode, and with the expansion of the territory in the future, the intelligence network will definitely spread all over the country.

"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! Hattori Hanzo received the order with an expressionless face, he has always been meticulous and very proper.

"Tadaji Kagawa, Kiyonobu Nakajima, Yasushi Okubo, Masuda Nagamori. The affairs of this family will be handed over to you, don't let me down. Hosokawa Nobumoto shouted out his family's dedication one after another.

"Yes, the subordinates will live up to the high expectations of the lord." The four priests bowed excitedly.

"Based on the last battle and daily performance, Shima Katsu Fierce! Promote you to the rank of the general of the family, and lead the spear of the German army. Shigenobu Hayashizaki, Takigawa Interests, and Kanemaru Shoji continued to serve as the head of the Ashigaru group, and Kazushi Nakamura, Miyata Mitsuji, and Tomonobu Oto were promoted to the head of the Ashigaru group, and they were incorporated and commanded by the standing ashigaru. Hosokawa Nobumoto reorganized the spear ashigaru.

"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! Shimakatsu took the lead in accepting the assignment and advanced one seat by the way.

"Izuura Morikiyo continued to serve as the commander of the ninja army, in addition to the original ninja army head Ukai Sun Roku, and then Igasaki Michishun and Takue Kiyohiro were incorporated into the ninja army as the head of the ninja army. Hattori Hanzo was promoted to the Hidden Mist Minister, enjoying the rank of a light general, in addition to the companion and Shichiro, Ishikawa Goemon was transferred to the Hidden Mist Fan as the head of the group. "Hosokawa Nobumoto will add several of his own descendants to the ninja army and the ninja guard.

"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! Hattori Hanzo took the lead, and his ninja guard was expanded.

The samurai team was still led by Tadakatsu Honda, and Naotora Ii and Yasumasa Kamihara were incorporated into the riding team as the leaders of the riding team. Heihachiro, charging into battle is your specialty, but as an excellent commander, you still have to study military law well. Hosokawa Nobumoto is a serious educator in Honda Tadakatsu, and he hopes that this tiger will be able to take on greater responsibility.

"Yes! His subordinates must study military law with their hearts, and they will definitely become a general who is unparalleled in the military. Honda Tadakatsu replied with a big grin, a smirk on his face.

"Bow foot light is still led by Naito Masanari, and a new staff department is formed, with Honda Masanobu as the staff officer, Sanada Masayuki and Mikoda Masaharu as the team leaders. In peacetime, he is responsible for the formulation of his family's strategic policies and the handling of daily military affairs, and can serve as a supervisor to exercise the rights of a military advisor in wartime. Hosokawa Nobumoto made the final arrangement.

"Yes, my subordinates have orders!" The calm divisions of the three armies saluted in unison.

"Good! From now on, you will follow the established policy, perform your duties, cooperate with each other, and serve my Hosokawa family wholeheartedly! With a wave of Hosokawa Nobumoto's heroic hand, the Hosokawa family's retainer system was officially announced.

"Yes! His subordinates (subordinates) are willing to be loyal and dedicated to the Lord's family! All the retainers shouted in unison, and their hearts were extremely excited.
