"Good! Good job! Oda Nobunaga sat on the main seat of the study, and slapped the table with excitement. Let's talk about it! How do you do that? He asked, with a red face. It's no wonder he's so excited, the results this time are truly amazing! Not only did we build the castle and annihilate more than 1,300 enemies, but we also killed Matsuyama Masada, the general of the Saito family, by the way! (The archer general that Keiji Maeda cut is one of the eighteen generals of Nishiminon.) ）

"The success of this time is due to the prosperity of the Oda family; The lord is blessed with the sky! Here's how it happened...... "After complimenting, Kinoshita Tojiro began to tell the "truth" of the incident.

I sat on the side of the monkey and watched his "performance" calmly. This time the credit goes to him, which I promised a long time ago, and I am not very "cold" to this kind of fighting and killing. In order to avoid the entanglement of similar work in the future, I decided that it is better to stretch my head less! It should be said that Kinoshita Toyoshiro's statement cannot be completely nonsense, but he overemphasizes his courage a little, and the formulation of the strategy is only a passing stroke! In fact, this is exactly what lies are all about: not distorting the point of the facts, and exaggerating the details to divert the listener's attention! I really didn't expect that he, who came from a humble background, actually knew this well!

"I really didn't expect you, this 'monkey', to have such abilities!" After listening to his statement, Oda Nobunaga praised it. "Now I'll promote you to the Oda family's Ashigaru general, with an annual salary of 80 years! I will continue to work hard in the future! ”

"My subordinates are willing to repay the great kindness of the lord with broken bones!" Kinoshita Toyoshiro bowed down in front of Oda Nobunaga. "It's just that the subordinates are from humble backgrounds, and they often feel that their abilities are insufficient, and they are still ...... Still looking forward to ...... The lord can carry one or two! He was still lying on the ground when he said this.

“…… Carrying ...... One, two......" Oda Nobunaga couldn't stop muttering these words. "Then what kind of 'support' do you want me to have?"

"Yes! There is a reluctant request from his subordinates......" Kinoshita Toyoshiro sat up straight, and said with a somewhat nervous expression: "Although my subordinates have been trying their best to serve the lord, they ...... Because of his humble background and weak strength, he often feels powerless......"

"That's what it was!" I nodded secretly, it seems that the heroic battle of the Kanosuke and the others in the construction of the castle in the Sumamata Castle this time has stimulated the "monkeys" a lot! As my status increases, I should have thought about it, but ...... What kind of people do I need?

"Do you want people?" Oda Nobunaga also heard him clearly. "Tell me who you want, then? But you have to be clear: your status is not very high now, and the range of choices you can choose is very limited! ”

"It's my lord! The subordinates don't dare to make any undesirable requests! After saying this, Kinoshita Toyoshiro stared nervously at Oda Nobunaga. If the lord can hand over the bee Suga Masakatsu and others who belong to my family this time to his subordinates, his subordinates will be grateful! ”

"Okay, you can take them all!" Oda Nobunaga agreed to his request without even thinking about it. For Nobunaga, who has always hated the underworld and bandits, it is not a bad thing to be able to get rid of these people. "In addition, you tell them that the existing land is kept in your name, and it is up to you to increase your knowledge and deeds and rewards!"

"Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro can win such a ...... of the lord" "Monkey" was so excited that his face turned red, so that his subordinates could be said to have greatly increased their strength.

"Alright, alright! Needless to say, those useless ones! Oda Nobunaga waved the folding fan in his hand impatiently. As long as you continue to work hard and make meritorious contributions in the future! ”

"Yes!" We took this as a sign of invitation and stood up together.

"Stay a little longer!" Oda Nobunaga, who had already lowered his head, suddenly said again. Kinoshita Toyoshiro gave me a meaningful look before leaving the door, and I sat back down. "Why are you giving him the credit?" As soon as there were only two of us left, Oda Nobunaga immediately asked. "Wu Yong? Hum! Wu Yong! Speaking of martial arts, Shibata Katsuya is not a hundred times better than him? He can do what Quan Liu can't do? It's a matter of stratagem! It's the brain! ”

I thought so...... "I knew I couldn't hide this from him, but I didn't expect him to ask so directly." I've always felt that Kinoshita Toyoshiro is enthusiastic and a talent, but he lacks opportunities! After that, he will work harder, which is also a great benefit to his family! ”

"It's not like the truth!" After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly said such a sentence. "But...... Never mind! Maybe it's better for the Oda family to do this, and it can motivate those low-level samurai to make them have a direction to work towards! I forgive that guy Keiji, so let's ask him to be your strength as the head of the Oda family! But you ......" he groaned for a moment and said, "Since you let me not be promoted again, what else do you want?" ”

"If you have to......" I suddenly remembered what "Monkey" had just done. "Please hand over Murai Sadakatsu and Yamauchi Kazutoyo to me!"

"Those two freshly promoted Ashigaru heads? Hmm......" Oda Nobunaga hesitated slightly. "Yamauchi Kazutoyo is humble and cautious, and I have already sent him as an attendant of Marvel Maru! That Murai Sadakatsu...... I haven't found out what he's good at, so take him away! ”

"Thank you for that!"

"One more thing!" He seemed to remember something again. "Would you like to change your last name?"

"What do you mean by that?" His question was so abrupt that I didn't react for a while.

"There's one thing I've been thinking about...... Oda Nobunaga gave his reasons. Based on your abilities and merits, I think I can give you a new status, and Owari has changed a lot in the past two years! Here......" He flicked the file on the table with a folding fan. "There are some chances! As long as you want, I can arrange for you to inherit a certain wealthy family. ”

"Really...... Thank you for your kindness! I still don't think it's appropriate. "After a moment of intense ideological struggle, I decided to give up this opportunity. This surname is still connected to my original world, and if I change it, I'm afraid that I will forget who I am in the future!

"Huh? Why? Oda Nobunaga was surprised by my answer.

"I am grateful for the kindness of the lord, but ......, "Since I have resigned, I have to find a better reason." The subordinates come from humble backgrounds, and if they rashly enter the wealthy family, I am afraid that everyone will not accept it! Moreover, if the lord enforces the order, it will also affect the reputation of the Oda family. ”

"You have a point...... he agrees with me. In that case, I can only give you the 1,200 stone territory of Yudan Valley on the bank of the Kiso River, east of Inuyama Castle! ”

"Subordinates, thank you for your great kindness!" I say this from the bottom of my heart.

"I've got territory! The Zhuxing family is officially a hereditary martial family! "As soon as I got home, I said this to everyone I saw. (I didn't remember if there was a heavy one)

"Look at your hot! Wipe your face! Xianzhi took a towel and wiped the sweat off my face herself.

"Aren't you happy?" I'm very strange about her attitude.

"Of course I'm happy!" Xianzhi smiled. "It's just that I already knew Ah Zhong's ability, and I believe that you will definitely get ahead, so I'm not surprised!"

"Shiba-chan!" I squeezed her hand tightly.

"Lord!" At this time, Shima Katsuto's voice sounded outside the door. "Someone from Sakai Town!"
