Chapter 777: The Six Great Legions
Kinoshita Tojiro also looked a little anxious after hearing this, this Mori Kecheng is the mainstay of his own faction, this faction is inferior to the Takayama faction in terms of quality, if he is leaving, then he will be weak, at first he thought well, if there is no accident, at least he and Mori Kecheng and Takigawa Ichiyi can get the position of the commander of the legion, so that it can be on a par with the Takayama faction, but now only he and Takigawa are left, and Takayama Shibata, Sakuma, In addition, there should be at least three people in the Gaoshan Clan who can become the main generals of the legion, which is really difficult.
And the clan saw that Takenaka Hanbei, after Maeno Nagayasu was assigned to Shintada, his mood at the moment was also a little bad, he had thought about it, this time taking advantage of the opportunity of Oda Nobunaga's restructuring, he was able to arrange Takenaka Hanbei to an important post, and Maeno Nagayasu and some promising junior samurai should be in hand, but this assessment meeting has just begun, Takenaka Hanbei and Maeno Nagayasu are completely out of play, and the remaining few people don't know how many can be left, and they are really miserable.
No matter what everyone thinks, the meeting is still going on, after Oda Nobutada obtained the land of the two countries, it is no surprise that he was appointed as the chief general of the Ono Army, responsible for attacking the Miyoshi family in, Nobunaga's arrangement is clear to establish prestige for Nobutada, who doesn't know that as long as the family is willing, the Miyoshi family can be destroyed at any time, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of people in the two countries, even if you send 3,000 elites to go, you can easily let Miyoshi's power in disappear.
After arranging for Nobunada, I only heard Nobunaga continue: "Quan Liu! ”
Shibata Katsuya thought that the main guild would be the first to call the name of the clan, but he didn't expect to be the first to click on himself. couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then he hurriedly said: "The subordinates are here." ”
"The territory of Quanliu was transferred to Vietnam, Central and Noeng. Ordered you to form the Northern Army Regiment and appoint you as the commander of the legion, your mission is to pacify Echichu within two years, and to mount and defend Uesugi. ”
I only heard Nobunaga continue: "Sasa Narimasa, do not break the light rule..."In addition to the two of them, Oda Nobunaga named several middle and lower-level samurai.
"The subordinates are here."
"I order you to be the sixth of the auxiliary power with the force. Sazuo Chengzheng sealed 20,000 stone of Yujin City in Yuezhong, and 15,000 stone of Shoushan City in Yuezhong without breaking the light rule, and as for the rest of the people, they have the right to arrange it by themselves. ”
"It's the lord (thank you, lord)."
"Genus... The subordinates thank the lord. The subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord. "I only heard Shibata Katsuya say excitedly, Yuezhong, Noto and the two countries together have nearly 800,000 stones, and the Changguang Temple City that he now leads is only tens of thousands of stones, and the territory has increased nearly tenfold, although the two countries of Yuezhong and Noto are not under the rule of their own family, and they need to attack it themselves, but whether it is the Shenbao family of Yuezhong or the Shiina family or the Chang clan of Noto, how can they be their opponents, this territory is no different from giving it away for nothing.
I don't know if it was Shibata Katsuya who was shocked, and even the retainers present were equally shocked. If it is said that the lord gave the land of more than 100 stones to the two countries, others can still understand, after all, he is the eldest son of the lord. And in the future, he will inherit the Oda family, no matter how much he gives, it is not much, but Shibata-sama is different, no matter how much the lord values Shibata-sama, but after all, he is a retainer, but he also obtained a fief of more than 700,000 stones, which is enough to prove that the lord is not just to establish prestige for faithfulness.
And after hearing this appointment, Sen Kecheng's face turned green, he originally thought that even if he became the commander of the legion, he was afraid that he would get a territory of more than 100,000 stones at most, but after hearing it, he was completely dumbfounded, he really didn't expect that a legion would be the establishment of hundreds of thousands of stones in two countries, and the land seized in the future would not have to be handed over to the lord.
After listening to this, Kinoshita Tojiro regretted that he had lost a big help, and at the same time, he couldn't help but start to get excited, good guy, the lord is really moving, if it is his turn in a while, wouldn't there be hundreds of thousands of stones? At that time, won't you be a real daimyo? The more Kinoshita Tojiro thought about it, the more excited he became, and even the matter of Mori Kecheng had been forgotten.
When the men returned to their seats and sat down, they heard Nobunaga say again, "Captain Oemon! ”
"The subordinates are here." Sakuma Nobumori hurriedly replied.
"Captain Uemon was transferred to Tanba, Tango and Liango, formed the San'in Legion, and appointed you as the commander of the legion. Give you two years to take charge of the two countries, and then carry out the San'in Raiders, if you can't complete it, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Originally, in the last Nobunaga siege network, the Hatano family was reluctant to surrender, but in recent years, it has begun to be active again, and in the past few years, Nobunaga has recruited him several times and he has not obeyed orders, so this time Nobunaga does not plan to give it another chance, and simply destroy it directly, saving him from worry.
However, unlike Echichu and Noto, although the strength of both the Hatano family and the Tango Yamana family is far worse than the Oda family, it is much stronger than the strength of Sakuma Nobumori. Therefore, it is really difficult for them to seize those two countries.
Therefore, Sakuma Nobumori was not happy because he was about to obtain the land of 400,000 stones in the two countries, but began to worry, and he still knew how much strength he had.
And Nobunaga's purpose is certainly not to let his generals die in vain, and unlike history, the current Nobunaga is still very important to Sakuma Nobumori.
So I only listened to Nobunaga say: "Inaba Yitetsu, Anteng is old-fashioned, and the three of you are inconvenient to know and act, so they are temporarily dispatched by Captain Youemon." Then Nobunaga also named several middle- and lower-ranking samurai as a dispatch from the Yori faction and Sakuma Nobumori.
Hearing that the lord had such an arrangement, Sakuma Nobukatsu couldn't help but feel relieved, the three of them now control the land of nearly 100,000 stone in the country of Wakasa, and these three people are all veterans who can fight well, with the help of the three of them, if they want to capture Tanba, it will be much easier for the two countries of Tango.
"Thank you Lord (it's Lord Gong)."
Although Sakuma Nobumori only obtained a territory of more than 400,000 yuan, this is also an inevitable result, after all, in terms of merit, Sakuma Nobumori is also comparable to Takigawa Kazuki and Mori Kesei, compared to Shibata and Takayama Clan, it is a lot less, and even a monkey is not comparable, and this time it is already the result of Nobunaga's favor to be able to become the commander of the legion.
"Monkey!"
"Hey! The lord, the subordinates are here, please ask the lord to command, even if the subordinates die on the battlefield, they will swear allegiance to the lord. As soon as Nobunaga's words fell, Kinoshita Toyoshiro burst out and kept talking. At this moment, he was so excited, as a samurai from a peasant, he was about to become a daimyo, and he also had hundreds of thousands of stones, a real daimyo, which was enough to make him incoherent.
After hearing Kinoshita Tojiro's words, Nobunaga couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahahaha, if you die in battle, how can you swear allegiance to me?" ”
"It's... The lord, the subordinate means that as long as you can be loyal to the lord, the subordinate is worth it even if he dies. ”
"Okay, don't say these words, I will give you the title of Harima One Country, and order you to form the Sanyang Legion, if you can't take the preparation within two years, then you will die."
Speaking of this, I only listened to Nobunaga continue: "In addition to the Akamatsu family, the other family, the Urakami family, and the Kodera family are also at your disposal. ”
"Thank you to the lord, my subordinates will definitely take Bizen within two years, and carry out the Maori strategy."
"Good! The samurai of my Oda family deserve to be so arrogant. ”
Although Kinoshita Tengjiro only obtained the country of Harima, but the country of Harima is a big country with more than 500,000 stones, if you talk about it, it has more than Sakuma Nobukatsu's harvest, and the large and small forces in this country have been subordinated to the Oda family, Kinoshita Toyoshiro only needs to go and accept it, which is much luckier than Sakuma Nobumori.
"Takigawa Kazuki!"
"The subordinates are here."
"I will give you Kii, Awaji and the two countries, order you to form the Four Nations Legion, and appoint you as the commander of the Legion, give you two years to pacify the two countries, and carry out the Four Nations Attack in two years."
Speaking of this, I only heard Nobunaga say again: "The Kumano Navy is temporarily at your disposal." In addition, Nobunaga also named a few middle- and lower-level samurai factions.
"Thank you to the lord, my subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." I only listened to Takigawa Kazuki Daijo. It's no wonder that Kii and Awaji together have 460,000 stone high, and he has gained a little more than Sakuma Nobumori, and with the help of the Kumano Navy, it should be very simple to take Awaji, but Kii is a little troublesome, and there are many wealthy people in Saga, and the Saga family seems to be not so easy to deal with.
And when Takigawa Yiyi was arranged, everyone set their sights on the Takayama Clan, after all, it was possible that anyone would not become the commander of the legion, but the Takayama Clan Sect definitely did not have this possibility.
Sure enough, I only heard Nobunaga speak: "Senbei! I order you to form the Kwantung Legion and appoint you as the commander of the legion! ”
"Huh!" After hearing the lord's decision, everyone couldn't help but gasp. They originally thought that the lord would at most let Takayama-sama form a Shinka Legion and eliminate Takeda, but everyone definitely didn't expect that the lord would actually let Takayama-sama form the Kwantung Legion, although they didn't say it explicitly, but they didn't need to ask to know that Takayama-sama's task must be to eliminate the Hojo family, this is not a joke, after the Hojo family surrendered to the Anbosatomi clan not long ago, in addition to the Satake clan, which occupies part of the land of Tsuneji, and the Utsunomiya clan, which occupies part of the land of Shimono, It can be said that the eight countries of Kanto have basically all fallen into the hands of Hojo.
And the clan was also stunned by Nobunaga's decision, and now he is really not ready to start a war with the Hojo family, even if he wants to go to war, he must first capture Kai. (To be continued......)
