"Sure enough!" I came back after some careful calculations. "With such courage at a young age, Pengcheng is unlimited!" I complimented it from the bottom of my heart.

"Your Highness Zhuxing is ......right," everyone behind him nodded in agreement, in fact, no matter what I said, it seemed that there was this effect all around, and I don't know if they heard what I said.

His Highness praised ...... falsely, "There is only one person who has raised objections to me. This is a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a thin figure and a stern face, and his eyes are shining brightly, looking shrewd and capable. "The little dog is just intoxicated with fun and does not want to make progress, and only knows how to indulge in these useless things all day long, how can it be compared to the adults under His Royal Highness, who are famous all over the world!"

When Inatomi-sama said this, he seemed to be out of sight...... "I kindly and kindly set my eyes on the middle-aged man in front of me and the son he was standing behind him, this is the famous wealthy family of Tango, Inatomi Naohide, Yuzhi father and son.

Now that the matter of Tanbo has been decided, I must seize the time to settle down internally as soon as possible, who knows what may happen in the case of this lone army being attacked from three sides! The first time I met with these Tango nobles, I chose Mt. Segasa, and it took the form of a hunt. More than 30 people from the Tanba Hao clan led by Takaya Yoshiei and Naohide Inatomi came, and it was gratifying that all the heads of the Tanba Hao clan were gathered.

In many of Japan's feudal states, the local powers had the power to influence national politics, and may even have suppressed the legitimate guardians. The situation of Tango is not serious, and in the comings and goings with the Wakasa Takeda clan, there is a lot of consumption for these small forces. The Hatano family has also purged some dissidents during the few years of rule, which makes the current Tango relatively "quiet"!

Of the 105,000 koku in Tanba now, I have about 80,000 koku under my direct control, so it seems that I don't have to worry about anything at all. But things can't just be known on the surface, and I can fall into an inexplicable crisis at any time when I am not familiar with my life, so it is quite urgent to seek the support of these people. Of course, the investigation of them is also going on in secret, and who knows if there are representatives of external "hostile forces" in them?

Among these people, the Inatomi family, who received 3,700 stones, and the Takaya family, who received 4,500 stones, are the natural representatives, and they are both related by marriage to the original guardian Isshiki family. If it weren't for the fact that the influence was too great, the Hatano family would have eliminated them a long time ago, and they have been looking for an opportunity to start.

I was quite satisfied with the first contact, and although it is not yet possible to say "one heart and one mind", all of them have expressed a clear recognition of my right to rule. The interest in this event was also very high, and in order to make it more interesting, we finally added another competition. Although the birds and beasts are not very fat in the early summer season, there are quite a lot of them!

"Although Youzhi is not very old, he was able to win the championship in front of so many 'veterans', which shows that he has extraordinary wisdom and bravery! In the future, I will rely on the strength of the virtuous father and son! "Although I knew that this 19-year-old Inatomi Yunao was a rare famous general, I didn't expect this iron cannon master to be so knowledgeable about bows and arrows! In one hour of competition, he had a total of 36 prey, and Shinhachiro, who was in second place, had only 34. Of course, he was lucky enough to block a litter of rabbits, but it's also quite remarkable! Although the "Daofuliu" iron artillery technique was not pioneered by him, it was magnified in his hands, and it is worth cultivating such a "seed player".

"His Royal Highness Zhuxing has a good reputation, how dare the Daofu family not serve wholeheartedly!" Naohide Inatomi humbly agreed to surrender, and his son bowed in unison.

"That's what we mean in all of our Tanba families......" Ryoei Takaya next to him hurriedly said, a face full of fat with a flattering smile. The Takaya family is the largest wealthy family in Tango, but the head of the family, Takaya Yoshiei, has neither courage nor talent, so he always follows Inatomi Naohide in everything. At this moment, he was pointing at his bare head (Liangrong is the Dharma name after entering the Dao), and he couldn't wait to express his loyalty to me. "It is a blessing for all of us to have a famous general with such virtue as the Qing Clan Gong in charge of the Danhou, and we will never have to worry about the invasion of our neighbors from now on! Although we are far away, we are also familiar with the famous name of the Qing Clan. Recently, even the undefeated 'Blue Ghost' Shinoi Sect has been taught under His Royal Highness, you can really be called 'Unparalleled in the West'! ”

"Qing Gong ......," I lowered my head and silently played with these words in my mouth. It's been 11 years since I came to Japan, and I've gone from a teenager under 16 years old to a 27-year-old. Although I have experienced a lot of ups and downs, I am proud to have today's achievements! I was slightly ridiculous when someone called me "Nobunaga" in Kyoto, but now I have this "title". Nowadays, although it is only called a flatterer, I am afraid that this title will be repeated in more and more people in the future, and it seems that I am starting to gradually get used to it.

"Hey! What's wrong? Seeing that I was lost in thought, there was a cold scene around me, and Ikeda Hengxing on the side tugged at my sleeve.

"It's nothing ......" I smiled disguised when I noticed my gaffe, and then turned my head to Takaya Yoshiei teased and said, "'Unparalleled in the West'? The ending of the last 'Western Warriors' doesn't seem to be very good, right? ”

"This ...... This ......" Takaya Yoshiei opened his mouth, and a layer of shiny oil sweat immediately broke out on his fat face and head.

"Your Highness!" Seeing this situation, Naohide Inatomi hurriedly stepped forward to clear the siege. "Lord Takaya is intimidated by His Highness's prestige, and there is no ...... about it."

"I know, I know......" I raised my hand to stop his excitement and said with a smile, "I'm just joking, don't you mind!" I'm a perverse and unruly person, so you don't have to be cautious about everything. In the future, if there is anything I can't do, you can also reprimand it to your face! ”

"Your Highness is witty, Your Highness is witty......" Inatomi Yunao and Takaya Yoshiei said again and again with a little embarrassed faces.

"You really don't have to care!" Ikeda also said with a smile. "If you are all terrified, what should you do when you see the right general? Wouldn't you just be scared to death? ”

After a chuckle, the atmosphere lightened up.

"I heard that Daofu has a lot of experience in the use of iron cannons, and the origin of Youzhi Gongzi's family is extraordinary?" I turned the subject back to the fact that I don't know how good he has become.

"How can such a superficial craftsmanship of the Daofu family get into the eyes of His Highness Zhuxing, the age of the dog is still young, and it is really not a ...... to see the door"

"If it's about age, I'm not a few years older than Younao!" I interrupted Inatomi Yuzhi's modesty and said, "I also have a young iron cannon master under me, so why don't you let the two of them fight each other!" In this way, we can also enhance the relationship between the two parties and promote the improvement together! ”

"How dare the dog offend His Highness Huwei......" He shook his hand again and again in panic, and the little one showed an excited expression.

"Isn't Lord Inatomi afraid that if he competes with us, it will insult the reputation of the Inatomi family?" I "brushed" my face down all at once. "In that case...... Then I won't force it! ”

"This ...... Youzhi, you can go and ask for advice! Naohide Inatomi said helplessly.

"That's right!" I beckoned to Tsuda and counted it. "This is the deputy commander of my iron artillery garrison, and although I am young, I have been fighting with me for several years! His skills are unique, and he also comes from a family of iron guns! ”

"In that case, please advise Tsuda-sama!" Inatomi Yuzhi calmly clenched his fists.

"Don't dare, Lord Inatomi is polite!" Tsuda also returned the favor.

"Let's get started!" At my command, the two targets were placed 50 paces away. The soldiers on both sides stood at a distance. The two men stood side by side with their usual iron cannons, each loading the projectile and raising the gun to aim. A few of the guards moved seemingly unintentionally, positioned enough to stand in front of me when "something" happened.

"Bang! Bang! Two loud bangs rang out almost simultaneously, and a pungent smell of sulfur rose from the white smoke in the air. When the smoke cleared, I saw that both targets had fallen.

"I ...... Lost! Inatomi's iron cannon hung down slightly, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little regretful.

"That's not right!" Tsuda shook his head and said, "Inatomi-sama's iron cannon is not a standard charge, so there will be a great shock. When it comes to eyesight and the calmness of the hands, Inatomi-sama is better than the next! ”

I had them lifted past the target, and both of them had their projectiles hit hearts. Tsuda is right, and Inafuyu is a little off. "Yes, both of them are amazing!" I nodded my head in appreciation. "Someone, bring an iron cannon!" Immediately, a standard iron cannon of the Stars was handed to me. "Youzhi Gongzi, this is a special iron cannon I bought from Nanban. If you don't give up, please accept it, I hope that 'Daofuliu' can be in your hands! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Inatomi Yuzhi respectfully stepped forward to take it, caressing it lovingly. I saw Naohide Inatomi open his mouth on the side, but in the end he didn't speak. According to the practice at this time, it is impossible to shirk the reward weapons of superiors to subordinates and suzerains to vassals!

"Lord, the game is roasted!" That's when my food manager came up and reported.

"Then bring it in! Please give us a taste of this Nanban method...... "I said with great interest.

***************************************************

By the end of the meeting, it was already the middle of the moon, and the Inatomi father and son returned to their sleeping tents and retired all their attendants.

"Father, I'm okay today, right?" Inafuyou looked straight around and asked softly.

"Hmm!" Naohide Inatomi nodded. "You're doing a great job! It seems that His Highness the Stars has a good impression of you, which is very important in this moment of alternation between the old and the new! ”

"Then we ......" Inatomi Yunao wanted to ask something.

"Who?!" With a loud shout, Naohide Inatomi jumped up and drew a knife in his hand, and Yunao Inatomi also pulled out his saber and stared nervously at the door.

A ghostly figure appeared there. "The ones who came to kill you!" Then two silver lights flashed through the room.
