Chapter 11 Assessment and Acceptance
After a day, Sakura finally accepted her new identity, she was originally the daughter of a samurai family, but she had to become a subordinate in the middle of the family, so she is no stranger to the current lifestyle.
That night, while the clan was listening to Sakura-chan's bitter history of the past two years, suddenly there were several neighing sounds from outside the door, and immediately after, three samurai in brand new armor tied their horses to their stakes and walked in quickly.
I saw one of them, wearing a pitch-black five-piece carcass, covered with black Jinhaoori, and wearing a two-leaf aoi Zhang hanging pocket, this samurai was Kagawa Tadaji. Wearing a sky-blue color weiwei belly roll, covered with blue feather weaving, and wearing a buffalo rib helmet is Yamauchi Kazutoyo. Wearing a gold leaf holder, covered with yellow feather weaving, and wearing a gold salamander helmet is Nakamura Kazuji.
The clan looked at the armor of the three of them, and nodded with satisfaction, these three boys are really willing to spend money, just this appearance, let alone the generals, even many generals may not be better than them. Seeing three samurai in precious armor walk in, Sakura immediately looked a little reserved.
"The subordinates have not dishonored their mission, and there is not a penny left of the money given by the lord, all of which is used to buy armor." The three of them said excitedly.
"Yes, Ha Luha, but you don't buy clothes for everyday wear, you can't wear armor in the future."
Among them, Yamauchi Kazutoyo said: "Lord Xie cares, each of his subordinates has made several pieces, and that little money is nothing compared to armor." ”
"Hey, you three bastard boys, just after two good days, you forgot how you suffered?" The clan didn't get angry, just teased.
Nakamura Kazushi took over the conversation and said, "Lord, didn't you say that we should dress better, so that you will not be embarrassed." ”
"Ha Luha, okay, let me introduce you, this is Sakura, and he's my wife."
After hearing this, the three of them wondered in their hearts, the lord was still alone that day, why is there one more lady today, and the lord's speed is too fast. However, although he had doubts in his heart, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Subordinate Kagawa Tadaji (Yamauchi Kazutoyo, Nakamura Kazuji) see Mrs. ”
Sakura immediately stood up and said in a panic, "Three adults, please get up quickly." ”
After dinner, when the three retainers learned of Sakura's experience, instead of feeling sympathy, they complained a little about the lord marrying such a girl as the main wife. However, they are all new retainers, and they are from Ashigaru, so if they dare to show disrespect to their mother, they can only rot their words in their stomachs in the end.
The next day, as soon as the sky was getting full, Seibei was woken up by Sakura, which was the earliest day he got up after coming to the Warring States. Kagawa Tadaji and the other three retainers, I don't know where Lu Dao came from such a big spiritual head, they are already standing outside the door at this moment, waiting for the clan to come out.
The assessment room of the Owari Kiyosu Castle castle tower was already full of samurai, but without exception they were all Oda Nobunaga's direct ministers. It didn't take long for Oda Nobunaga to walk out of the inner room quickly. "Lin Tongsheng, you can start."
"It's the lord!" Lin Tongsheng took two steps forward to the middle of the assessment room, holding a long scroll in his hand and began to read. "Since the unification of Owari, the family has fought more than ten battles, all thanks to your bravery...... This time, the joint battle Liangtian Zhenggang reported the news, and supported the Imagawa army in the barrel narrow, and was awarded the title of 3,000 stone Zhixing of Aichi Prefecture.
Mori Yoshikatsu won the first rank of Imagawa Yoshimoto, ranked second, and was promoted to the rank of Ashigaru general, and was awarded the title of 1,500 stone Zhixing of Shangxiang Castle in Bihai County, Mikawa Province.
Hattori Yasuharu was the first to enter the Imagawa Yoshimoto Honjin Tent and was promoted to the rank of Ashigaru General, and was awarded the title of 800 stone Zhixing of Sugawa Castle in Zhiduo County.
The Gaoshan clan took three enemy cities, eight of them, and made four contributions, and was promoted to the general of Ashigaru, and was awarded the title of 500 stone Zhixing ...... in the east of Haidong County"
Then Lin Tongsheng read a few more names, but the rewards he received after a few were less and less, and together there were not as many as one of the clans, for such a result, except for his own appearance, the others did not change at all, but the other retainers were extremely surprised by such a result, Maori Ryokatsu, Hattori Yasuharu, the merits of the two are real military exploits, although the Takayama clan is suspected of cheating, but it is acceptable. And Liang Tian, who was born in a small wealthy family, is just ventilating, reporting information, and organizing villagers, as if he didn't even go to the battlefield, why did the lord give him the first credit?
Retainers, you look at me, I look at you, no one can figure out what is going on. Oda Nobunaga didn't care about other people's opinions, and when he saw that none of his retainers could understand his own mind, he was very unhappy. The certificate of appreciation was supposed to be issued by the pen master Lao Lin Tongsheng, but Oda Nobunaga snatched the certificate of appreciation from Ryoda Masasuna in his hand, got up and came to Ryoda Masada, and personally awarded him the certificate of appreciation. And he also said loudly: "It's hard work, this time I fought against the Imagawa family, and if it wasn't for you, it would be impossible to win." ”,
At this time, the retainers were completely chaotic and exchanged heads one after another. After Liang Tian Zhenggang received the certificate of thanks, he did not feel happy because of the first merit this time, and on the contrary, at this moment he was depressed in his heart, he thought, it's over, it's all over, a warrior like himself from a wealthy family will not really be trusted by the lord, and in ordinary times, even those direct ministers in the family, he doesn't dare to offend easily, if he accidentally offends, if the other party catches the opportunity and sues in front of the lord, then what awaits him is the disaster of extermination. So Liang Tian Zhenggang has been cautious, for fear of provoking a retainer, he has been doing a good job before, and he has always had a good reputation among retainers, but who would have thought that just today, he would become the target of public criticism, all his previous efforts were in vain, and he obtained 3,000 stone Zhixing, but he offended all the direct ministers of the Oda family, is it really worth it?
Thinking of this, Liang Tian Zhenggang took the certificate of thanks and said: "Thank you, my subordinates swear allegiance to the Oda family." ”
Oda Nobunaga nodded, and was about to turn back, only to hear Liang Tian Zhenggang hurriedly say: "Lord, there is a son under him, named Liang Tian Guangsheng, who is now in Yuanfu, and I hope that the lord will be accepted." ”
"Okay, let him be the attendant,"
Liang Tian Zhenggang listened to the lord's promise, and this was a sigh of relief.
Oda Nobunaga returned to his seat and was about to announce his dissolution when a servant walked into the assessment room and said, "Report! My lord, according to the ninjas sent to Mikawa, the Imagawa clan has succeeded to the governor the day before yesterday, and the Imagawa army has all retreated into Suruga Province..."
"Ha Luha, okay, the east road is worry-free." When Nobunaga heard this, Ha Lu Ha Da said with a smile, the biggest predicament of the Oda family is obviously completely lifted with the withdrawal of the Imagawa family.
The attendant continued: "However, Mikawa Matsudaira Motoyasu has not retreated, and at this moment he has occupied Okazaki Castle, practicing all day, and has the potential to win or lose with the Oda family. ”
Nobunaga frowned and asked, "How many ashigaru." ”
"Back to the lord, about a thousand people."
Hearing this, Nobunaga's frowning brows immediately relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Ha Luha, Takechiyo is still a little bold, don't pay attention to it, you can step down." ”
