"First of all, the resettlement of our Kii and Saga people!" The first one was Tsuda who pulled out a roll of paper from his arms, and the others were not surprised. It seems that they had agreed on it in advance, but it was actually completed in such a short period of time. "We want not to cut down on territory and not to leave where we were......"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Keiji Maeda raised his eyebrows with his eyes and pressed up hard. "The people of Kii have been fighting against the Holy Destiny for a long time, and not only the right general hates it, but even in the imperial court! Even if the lord is magnanimous and doesn't care about this matter, do you think that such an agreement will be approved if it is sent to Kyoto? What a whims! ”

"Our land is all hard work, and it is not so easy to take it for nothing!" Suzuki Asahshige's face immediately turned cold, and his facial muscles were still shaking.

"Is that really the case?" Ke'er Caizang also let out a sneer, and stared at him with his hand on the hilt of the knife. "In the old documents of the Hatakeyama clan of the old Kii guardian, and in the documents reported to the imperial court, there is no record of granting you the surname of the land to know the act. On the contrary, some of the surnames of the Saga clan appear in the list of lower-ranking samurai administrators. Later, in the civil rebellion newspapers presented to the imperial court, there were many references to your names. In addition to showing that the Zaga people and others are thieves and robbers who are guarding and stealing themselves, can there be any other meaning? ”

"Huh~!" Even I was deeply surprised that this kid was no longer the brave man he used to be.

"The world is in charge of everything in the world, and since ancient times, the virtuous have lived in it!" Shigehide Suzuki immediately retorted, and if he was suppressed on the basis, there was no need to talk about the rest. "The Hatakeyama clan was weak and unreasonable, causing Kii to suffer from repeated wars, and even the shogunate had more than one crusade. The people were in dire straits, and they had to rise up to protect themselves. In the face of whether it is the harassment of pirates or the invasion of Miyoshi, what did the Hatakeyama family do for Kii? Such a guardian, such a great name, do you still expect the people to support him! ”

"Are you Zaga people better than them?" Keiji Maeda replaces "play". "In the past few decades, Kii is actually in the hands of you people, but have you even paid a penny of money and grain to the imperial court? How is this kind of behavior different from that of the grasshopper? ”

"Okay, that's a bit of a stretch!" I duly stopped further inverted insults. Although it is also possible to scold people in negotiations, if it continues to develop blindly, it may become a scoundrel in the market.

"The reason why so many people have joined the ranks of the people is that they can't survive because the rule is dark. For the sake of their survival, we can't just compromise! Tsuda said in a puff at the end.

"The reason why His Royal Highness Yuzhou is talking to you is that he doesn't mean to treat you as thieves!" Although Gamo Township is relatively relaxed, it is the beginning of slowly closing the net. "On the contrary, in order to clarify each other's status in the future, it is also to ask for an explanation for your identity! His Royal Highness Yuzhou is ready to officially issue the land registration licenses to each family after the agreement between the two of us, so that you don't have to worry about others pointing fingers behind your back. ”

"But ......," Suzuki Asashige still wanted to argue.

"Also, please understand...... "Gamo clan is ahead of him." Although His Highness Zhuxing was honored with the protection of Kii, it was also a heavy burden, and it was even more important to govern a country like Kii for a long time. Before you, there were some nobles who had been converted. If His Royal Highness Yuzhou can't level a bowl of water, how can he serve the public in the future? ”

"If we can't fight for the legitimate interests of our peers, how can we be worthy of their trust all along?" Suzuki Asagi also wanted to make strong words.

"Lord Suzuki, you might as well think more about your Suzuki family's affairs, and other people's affairs are naturally planned by His Royal Highness Yuzhou, who is the guardian!" The Gamo clan suddenly pointed out that they were already "alone".

The situation is stronger than people, and at this moment the Suzuki and Tsuda brothers have to face the reality, and after exchanging a few glances with each other, they can only endure this breath. It has become very obvious that they have lost their status and strength as the leaders of the Kii forces!

"Then how many fields are your Highness the Stars going to 'reward' each of our families with?" Shigehide Suzuki asked reluctantly.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to worry, His Royal Highness Yuzhou is ready to ......" Seeing that the other party began to soften, the Gamo clan was ready to proceed.

"Ten thousand stones!" I spoke suddenly, with an unquestionable determinism.

"Oh?" Both the Gamo clan and Keiji Maeda looked at me in surprise, wondering why there was such a sudden change, and the three of us had discussed 15,000 koku each for Suzuki and Tsuda, so why I suddenly changed my mind without consulting anyone.

"It's 10,000 stones per family, this is a 'gift' I prepared for a few people!" I didn't look at these men, and now is not the time to explain. It's not that I'm reluctant to give up the land of the two families, which is only 10,000 stones, but now I have to oppress them financially to achieve my goals.

"How is this possible!" Hearing this number, the four people were excited, and Tsuda Zhaoshu even took the case.

Keiji Maeda, Keizo and Katsutoshi Shima all held their hands on the hilt, while Kato Duanzo and Kusunoki Mitsunari inserted their ten fingers into the placket.

"We are all well-known clans in Kii, how can ten thousand stones survive!" But Tsuda only clenched his fists angrily, and did not act further aggressively. “…… In addition to men and young people, they are strong and can survive it, but what about the elderly, women, and children? Your Highness, we have five thousand ...... each."

"Three thousand, each family is in their early three thousands!" I corrected him gently. "The annual grain harvest of 10,000 stone for 3,000 people should be enough to save a little. Besides, I'm going to set aside some wasteland for you, and I won't be confiscating land for two years! ”

"But this ...... This is also ......" Tsuda couldn't say any more, his face was pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Life is too hard, isn't it?" I sneered and continued: "Actually, everyone doesn't want to go back to suffer when they have a good life, and I can understand this feeling, so I have prepared a solution for you!" You used to start out with iron cannons, and you can continue to work in this profession in the future! ”

"You mean...... "None of them understood what I meant."

"I mean, although your existing armament will definitely be reduced, you can still keep a large part of it!" I know very well that my words will be very powerful, but it is also a crucial step. "I think it's acceptable for each of you to keep a garrison of 500 iron guns, and you can accept other people's hired to fight! The highnesses under the Oda family can do it, and so can the daimyo from other places, as long as they are not openly confronting the Oda family. If you are willing to fight for me, you can do it, and I will pay you according to your numbers and merit. Rest assured, the conditions are definitely higher than others! ”

There was silence for a long time, and they exchanged glances with each other, and at the same time they were observing me. Finally, finally they were convinced that I wasn't kidding!

"So, Honganji ......," Shigehide Suzuki asked tentatively.

"I'm sorry, but Honganji isn't one of them!" I immediately put my face down, these people really have to inch in. "Half of the chaos in the world is related to Honganji, they have long been enemies! There will also be restrictions on the activities of other religions in Kii in the future, and it will not be possible to be as unregulated as before. ”

"What are the restrictions?" They are all nervous, and they all have an inseparable relationship with Buddhism.

"Kii's local people are treated like ordinary wealthy families, and I won't deprive them of their property for no reason!" Regarding religion, I would like to conduct a "pilot" in Kii, but today I simply put it up at once. "I mean not to oppose any religion, but only those who plot rebellion in the name of religion. Therefore, in the future, all sects can still preach in Kii, and their personal safety will be protected by me, but they are not allowed to engage in any crimes, and all acts must be reported to the local government. For religious gatherings of more than 10 people, not only must I obtain the prior approval of my deputy, but they can only be supervised by government personnel! ”

After another long time of thinking and exchanging glances, this problem is not so easy to solve! The Saga Suzuki family relied on the Honganji clan to get to where they are today, and it is impossible for them to break with them, both traditionally and emotionally. In contrast, the Tsuda family is much simpler, although they are also nominally monks and soldiers of the Shinyoshi Shingon sect, but now they are not interested in preaching and Ichiyo, but they have a word that they will not abandon the Suzuki family in the first place.

"We can't betray the Lord of Honganji!" After a long time, Shigehide Suzuki shook his head with difficulty, and the Tsuda brothers, although they showed regret, did not say anything else.

"Then I can't do anything about it, and it's impossible for the right general to allow Kii to have the power of Honganji!" I also said it very "regretfully".

"We've taken note of your kindness!" Suzuki and the others stood up, believing that the negotiations had broken down.

"Why don't you go to Honganji Temple!" It was as if I had been "inspired" to suggest it suddenly. "You can go to Honganji Temple, and I can give an explanation to the right general as an escape. I will also hand over your 10,000 stone territory to the Tsuda family, and I will give you another 50,000 yuan for the journey! ”

"This ......" is in stark contrast to the Suzuki brothers' squinted eyes, and it is the Tsuda brothers' eyes that widen, and my proposal is really too constructive! Another difference with Suzuki is that the Tsuda and Oda families do not have deep grievances, and they don't care about the political conflicts in the "background".

Shigehide Suzuki and Asaheige also moved their minds to get 50,000 kan money without worrying about Oda Nobunaga's revenge! And I left this friendship for now, and when we meet again in the future......
