Now that the lord has left, Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro has nothing to worry about, and after seeing that the congratulatory gift sent by the Nine Ghosts Jia Long turned out to be neither gold nor silver, but just a small broken wooden boat that has been shrunk countless times, he couldn't help but laugh: "The congratulatory gift from the Nine Ghosts is really special, and I don't know if this ship can be launched, Ha Lu Ha." ,!”

Kinoshita Toyoshiro's laughter immediately attracted the attention of the samurai present. Although the Nine Ghosts Jialong does not often appear at the pacification meeting, he is very clear about the faction in his family, and the main purpose of his coming this time is to vote for the Gaoshan clan, one is because he is his brother-in-law, and more importantly, he believes that Lord Gaoshan is a person, and it was Lord Gaoshan who helped him apply for a large amount of money from the lord back then, so that he has today's Xiongye Water Army, and it is definitely the right choice to follow such a person.

And when Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro finished speaking, the clan and the Omiya Reiko around him were very angry, but what the monkey said was not wrong, if it was a congratulatory gift with this thing, it was indeed a little too stingy, but the clan thought about it, this Nine Ghost Jialong is definitely not a stingy person, he must have a useful intention to give himself this thing, in this way, I am afraid that the monkey will not be good at all, thinking of this, he did not say anything, but looked at the development of things with a smile.

Seeing that her husband didn't mean to be angry at all, Reiko Omiya immediately knew that things didn't seem to be as simple as she imagined, so like her husband, she didn't speak.

Sure enough, when Kinoshita Toyoshiro finished speaking, he only heard the nine ghosts Yoshitaka say: "What Kinoshita-sama said is that this ship really can't get into the water. However, do adults know why it will be too late? ”

Kinoshita Tojiro didn't think he could find any reason for his faux pas, and he wanted to use this to make him ugly in front of everyone again, after all, he knew that this Nine Ghost Family Takashi was the cousin of Reiko Omiya, and he had a good relationship with the Takayama clan, so there was no possibility of defecting to him, so there was no possibility of defecting to him, so so. He won't save any face for the other party.

I only heard him say: "Your Excellency won't be delayed because of this gift." ”

"Ha Luha, it is worthy of Kinoshita-sama, and it is indeed delayed because of this great gift."

Speaking of which. He didn't bother to look at Kinoshita Tojiro any longer, but turned his head and said to the clan, "Lord Takayama." I heard that you plan to open up the water transportation channel in the territory, so you specially transformed the five customs ships into merchant ships to send to the adults, because the hull is too large, so you have ordered someone to escort it directly to Gaoshan City, as for this wooden ship, it is just to let the adults see what it looks like first. ”

The clan was a little embarrassed after hearing this, although he didn't know the price of the ship, but in his mind, how could one have to be hundreds or thousands, if it was one. It's nothing to receive by yourself, but these Nine Ghost Jialong are five ships as soon as they are given, which is a gift worth thousands of yuan, which is really too valuable.

"This ...... The congratulatory gift of the Nine Ghost Lords was too heavy for the Shu Clan to bear. ”

Nine Ghost Jialong had long thought that the clan would refuse. So I've already thought of a rhetoric. I only heard him speak: "Takayama-sama, don't you plan to embarrass Zai Xia in public by saying this, besides, it's just a few transformed ships, which are really nothing to the current Kumano Navy."

At present, there are seven or eight houses in the family, dozens of ships are closed, and there are countless early days. If it weren't for the fear that Miyagawa wouldn't be able to accommodate the big boat, I really wanted to send the adults two houses, so that if I saw that those Kaga bald donkeys were not pleasing to the eye, I would directly drive the boat to attack, and see how it could resist under the waterway. Now that the Kumano Navy's ships are about to stop working, adults should be able to relieve the pressure below. ”

If he doesn't say so, after thinking about it, maybe he will accept it, but when he finishes speaking, the clan will not dare to accept it, these boats are built with Nobunaga's funds, if someone uses this to complain to Nobunaga, saying that he has embezzled public property, it will be more than worth the loss, thinking of this, I only heard the clan remind: "Lord Nine Ghosts, the lord sowed funds to provide to adults, in order to strengthen the strength of the family's water army, if the adults give it to the next, it is really not in accordance with the rules, so it still can't be accepted in the next." "Lord Takayama doesn't seem to know much about this ship, the most money provided by the lord back then was to build three or two houses, a dozen ships, and the rest of the ships were taken from the already decayed house army, and it shouldn't be a mistake to give the captured ships to the lord."

When the clan heard this, he finally stopped shirking, after all, there were still so many guests waiting for him to entertain, and he really didn't have more time to say more to them.

And Kinoshita Toyoshiro saw that the Takayama clan failed to succeed, but he lost face, so he didn't want to stay longer, but as soon as the clan clan ended the conversation with the nine ghosts Yoshika, he said goodbye and left, and the people of Kinoshita's faction, after Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro left, also began to withdraw one after another, for their departure, the clan not only did not feel any unhappiness, but was also very happy, they are leaving now, to the province to greet them.

The wedding lasted for about an hour, and the sparrow house returned to peace, and while the Oda family retainers were leaving, the merchants followed Yamada Nagamasa and others to Hida one by one, and they could not easily miss such an opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, it was three days, and in these three days, the most anxious person in his heart was probably Yamanaka Kanosuke, three days before the wedding, he had already arrived in Gifu, and at that time he wanted to discuss with Takayama-sama about providing assistance to the Niko family, but he saw that Takayama-sama was too busy to disturb at this time, so he had to suppress the impulse in his heart and wait until the wedding was over.

However, in the past three days, although he met with the Takayama clan every day, who knew that the other party was constantly entertaining, and the other party was either an elder like Shibata Katsuya, or a relative like Xiang Jiugui Jialong, so he really didn't have the right to speak, so he had to leave first, but he didn't know what to do, the Takayama clan was completely delaying time, he was waiting, waiting for the information sent to the ninja to bring back to the western country.

"Report to the lord, the ninjas of this family have sent back information, Kobayakawa Takakei has led a large army to attack the Niko family five days ago, and I ask the lord to decide."

Just as the clan was laughing with a few ladies, he saw Mizuse Uemon walk in quickly and said loudly.

"Adults don't have to accompany our sisters, it's still important to get down to business." As he spoke, Sakura and the other four ladies stood up and walked to the inner room.

After listening to Mizuse Uemon's report, the clan couldn't help but be overjoyed, he didn't expect the Maori family's action to be so fast this time, he thought that it would drag on for at least two or three months, but now even if it starts from the day of Yamanaka Kanosuke's departure, it is only twenty days now, and he is worried about how to delay it for a few more days, and now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

The Maori army is several times stronger than the Niko family, and with Kobayakawa Takakei personally commanding it, I am afraid that it will not take ten days to destroy the Niko family, even if Yamanaka Kanosuke leaves now, it is impossible to catch up.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect speak: "Okay, I know the way, you can step down." ”

At the same time that Mizuse Uemon retreated, the clan commander Yamanaka Kanosuke was recruited, and now it was time to meet him.

Yamanaka Roadinosuke, who was pacing around in a hurry, listened to the call of Takayama Lord, and he didn't even care about the close attendant Hiko Emon, and trotted all the way to the samurai mansion of the clan.

"In the middle of the descent, Kanosuke met Takayama-sama." As soon as he entered the hall, he hurriedly saluted.

"Lord Yamanaka, the clan has not deliberately snubbed the adult these days, but I really can't find time to talk to the adult in detail, so please forgive me."

Now what Kanosuke Yamanaka wants most is to quickly take the money and leave, how can he have time to talk nonsense with the clan here, so he didn't continue at all, but went straight back to the topic.

I only heard him speak: "I am deeply honored to be invited to attend the wedding of Lord Takayama, and in addition, I also learned from the mouth of Lord Karumi that my lord wants to help the Nizi family, and I don't know if there is such a thing. ”

"It's true, the Nizi family has been around for hundreds of years, and the clan doesn't want to see it perish, and more importantly, the clan is moved by the loyalty of the adults, so they want to help the Nizi family."

Yamanaka Kanosuke finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and he also felt very glad that Takayama-sama was really more supportive of his own face, and if he had agreed to change the lord to someone else, I am afraid that it would not have been possible to gain anything at all.

And he knew that if he wanted Takayama-sama to provide more assistance, then he had to let him know the hardships and hopes of the Nizi family, he had already thought very clearly in the past few days, originally he just wanted to complain to Takayama-sama, thinking that he could get a lot of aid in this way, but he soon changed his mind, if he said that the Nizi family was too miserable, so that Takayama could not see any hope for the Nizi family, I am afraid that he would immediately change his mind.

After all, no one wants to get a return after their investment, and although Takayama is rich, he will definitely not be an exception, so he must not only tell the current situation of the Nizi family, but also the prospects for the development of his own family, only in this way can Takayama Lord be willing to help his family.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Lord Takayama, although the current family has recaptured Tsukiyama Tomita Castle and several surrounding cities, and the stone height under its control is as high as 100,000, but because the Niko family has no savings, although the territory is recaptured, it will take at least three years to develop, but now the problem is that the Maori family will not give the family three years to attack at all."

My lord and all the retainers are determined to fight to the end, but the strength is not enough, only relying on the harvest of grain to recruit an army of 2,000 people, if the adults are willing to support the family, then before the war can make the family's army reach 7,000, there are 7,000 troops, and there is Tsukiyama Tomita Castle to defend, even if the Maori family sends 10,000 people to attack, in the next is confident to defend, as long as the Maori family is blocked from an attack, with the Maori family's system, if you want to send an army to attack at least a year later, if the funds are sufficient, it will only take a year, The Niko family will be able to regain their strength, and the Maori family's plan to destroy the family will all be frustrated. ”……)
