When I say this, my tone is very affirmative.

I just don't know, what part of Awa Province will Nobunaga give me jurisdiction?

With my merits, it is clear that one county and two counties are not enough, because the country of Awa is so barren that the ten counties together are only 176,000 koku, which is less than the stone height of the three Omi prefectures. According to the reward level of Shibata Katsuya, at least one-third of the land should be given.

But there is also a problem with giving too much, because this country still has Hosokawa Shinyuki's share, and some other things have to be left for the Miyoshi family...... Anyway, it depends on how Nobunaga arranges it.

Three days later, the Yabe Iesada, along with the envoys of the Miyoshi family, crossed the Akashi Strait and were escorted by Iwamatsu Keitari to Katsurui Castle.

Due to the emergency situation on both sides, the peace treaty was reached very smoothly. The negotiations were conducted by Naomasa Wakumi of the main family, Shinyuki Hosokawa of the Hosokawa family, and Shinohara-Nagabo of the Miyoshi family, and the content was about the division of Awa and Awaji. Among them, the four counties of Itano, Meito, Meisai, and Asae in the eastern part of Awa Province were assigned to Hosokawa Shinyuki, including Katsurui Castle in Itano County; The remaining six prefectures are all assigned to Miyoshi, including the three counties of Miyoshi, Mima, and Awa in the west, and the three counties of Katsuura, Naga, and Kaibe in the south; The country of Awaji was assigned to my name, and I served as the guardian generation.

This is a partition that is acceptable to all parties. The wealthy families of the three counties of Itano, Mingdong, and Mingxi have surrendered, and it is logical that they will be assigned to Hosokawa Shinyuki, and the addition of a Mazhi County is mainly to give Katsurui City a buffer space to turn around, so as not to be directly exposed in front of the Miyoshi family. Although the Miyoshi family lost Shengrui City, they got 100,000 stone from the six counties, and finally kept most of the territory.

My harvest is okay, although Awaji Province is small, Shigao also has 81,000, which is almost equivalent to half of Awa Province. There is also the position of guardian, because Awaji Province does not have a guardian, so it is no different from guardianship.

The people of Awaji who suffered the most were the people. They were originally under the Anzhai family and belonged to the Miyoshi family. But in such a division, all the territories of the wealthy families were deprived, and even the Anzhai family, which was a relative of the Miyoshi family, became a victim, and whether or not the family name could be retained depends on what I mean.

It's no wonder that since the death of Ataka Fuyasu by Miyoshi Chokei, the naval army, which is dominated by the people of Awaji Province, has been divided and gradually declined, so that it was easily defeated by Iwamatsu Jingding in Osaka Bay the year before last, and now it is even more vulnerable. When the Miyoshi family went out on this expedition, they could barely undertake the task of transporting the army across the sea, but once they were cleared by our navy, they had to hide on the shore.

For Miyoshi, they have basically lost their value.

It is very likely that the conditions for the Miyoshi family to give up Awaji Island were proposed by Nobunaga himself, in order to completely abolish the Miyoshi family's ability to send troops to Kinai. After that, if he lets me go again, it will be safer, and he can successfully prevent the Miyoshi family and Settsu from uniting again.

Nobunaga's arrangement was strategically appropriate. It's just that if I want to get the fiefdom, I still need to put some effort into pacifying Awaji Province. Of course, this won't be too much of a problem, just work hard.

I gladly accepted Nobunaga's arrangement.

Soon after, the Miyoshi family began to withdraw to Shikoku, and I arranged for the sea crossing.

According to the prior agreement, they were divided into four batches of 5,000 people, each with 5,000 men, and the first batch began to be transported immediately, and the next batch was transported after the disbandment of the territory.

By the time the four groups of people returned to Shikoku, half a month had passed. Then I will replace Hosokawa Shinyuki and carry out the territory transfer with the Miyoshi family. These things are very cumbersome, but fortunately, most of the wealthy families in the three counties of Itano, Mingdong, and Mingxi have already surrendered, which can save a lot of work.

By October 20, most of the affairs had been completed, and only Isnomiya Nariyu of Nasai County and Shinohara of Kizu Castle in Itano County were left.

As a wealthy family of the countrymen, Ichinomiya Seiyu has a territory in Nasai County, and it stands to reason that he should submit to Hosokawa Shinyuki; But he is also the sister-in-law of Miyoshi Changqing, and his position is inevitably biased towards the Miyoshi family, so he is still hesitating. I have already given him an ultimatum that when Hosokawa returns, he will either swear to surrender or give up his territory, or else, according to the "new plus-style" division regulations currently in force in Awa Province, Hosokawa Shinyuki will have the full authority to raise troops against him. Those regulations were made by the Miyoshi family's Shinohara Nagabo, and according to the division agreement and the division regulations, even the Miyoshi family had no reason to stop it. Unless they are willing to destroy their own credibility, they might as well tear up the oath of peace at once.

Shinohara's self-escape is another case. As the genealogy of the Miyoshi family, even if he is transferred, he will be assigned a new territory, but Shi Gao will be less. However, he was reluctant to leave Katsurui City, the reason was naturally for the sake of the Great Shape Hall, and he even wanted to officially appear as Hosokawa Shinyuki. This is a lord who does not love territory and loves beauty, but I think he is completely confused. Hosokawa Mayuki has already read power, and he no longer has to be restrained by the Miyoshi family, even the head of the Shinohara family, Shinohara, can't restrain Hosokawa Shinyuki, not to mention that he is just the younger brother of Shinohara? Without the power to restrain Hosokawa Shinyuki, will the Great Shape Hall still be with him? Moreover, he actually wanted to be a master...... God knows how disgusted Hosokawa would be with him.

Leave these two things to Hosokawa Shinyuki! He stayed in Kyoto to meet Yoshiaki, officially received the official position, and was almost coming back...... At the time of the afternoon meal, the maid of the Hosokawa family of the Honmaru brought the meal as usual.

"Your Highness, please use it!" The voice of the maid was very good.

"I'm sorry for you, let's leave it alone!" I was burying my head in sorting out the official documents and replied casually.

"Your Highness, don't you need to take a look?" The maid continued.

"What's so good...... Kindness? "I suddenly felt that something was wrong, this voice seemed to have a very special impression?

I looked up, and it was actually a large hall! She dressed as a maid and brought me food, and sat down on her knees, as if she were ready to serve me.

"I really don't dare to do this!" I hurriedly thanked him.

"What His Royal Highness Mie did for Rokuro (Hosokawa Shinyuki), the concubine body is already very clear. I can't thank you enough for this kind of affection. So, let the concubine personally do something for His Royal Highness Mie! She chuckled.

"Since the Great Shape Hall has such good intentions, then I'm not welcome." I nodded, put down my paper, and sat down in front of the small stool. The Great Hall immediately handed over the bowl and filled it with sake for me.

Her movements are always so wonderful, between stretching her neck and waist, her white and graceful neck looms, and the maid's simple service clearly outlines her slender waist.

I drank it all and passed the bowl again.

I have to say that it is a very pleasant thing to be able to see such a pleasing beauty. Although she is over forty years old, her appearance and figure are still very good, and between her gestures, her body is full of amazing charm and style, as if she is tempting others all the time...... "Your Highness, don't you need to drink anymore?" She reminded.

Only then did I realize that the wine bowl in my hand had been poured, so I drank it all again, "I'm sorry, I just remembered something else, and I didn't notice it for a while." ”

"There are indeed a lot of things to consider for a person like His Royal Highness Mie," Otataden said thoughtfully, "unlike us women, who only think about our own children......"

"Oh, really?" I replied casually.

"Yes!" She blinked, "The concubine came here on purpose to thank His Royal Highness Mie for taking care of Rokuro!" ”

She suddenly put down the bottle and got up to close the door.

"This ......" I suddenly found this scene a little familiar. It seems that no one did this back then...... That's right, it's Yuga. When Yuga said that he wanted me to take care of Mitsu, it was the same.

It was my first time. By now, I'm no longer a novice, and I immediately understood what she meant.

So the atmosphere suddenly became very ambiguous.

"The concubine saw that there was only a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old beside Her Highness, and she must not be able to enjoy it......" She returned to me lightly, took the wine bowl from my hand, and then held my hand and pressed it on her towering breasts.

I struggled a little, and I couldn't take it anymore. Her right breast, like a ripe peach in the sun, has a plump and graceful shape, and the touch of her breasts and skin seems to pass through her clothes, which is a kind of softness and gentleness that is absorbed.

Although she is old enough to be my mother, a woman like her, almost unrestricted by age, still shines today.

Not only that, due to the precipitation of the years, it has also added a lot of mature and charming style.

"It's so beautiful......," I sighed, roughly understanding how my relatives felt more than ten years later.

"Hearing His Highness's words, the concubine is so happy," she chuckled, and pressed her soft cheek to my shoulder, "I thought His Highness had always looked down on the concubine!" ”

"How could it be! Madame is shining everywhere. ”

Really, body and surname, these are two different things. Then it's good to indulge once, and it's all like this anyway...... I thought to myself and wrapped my other hand around her waist.

"Can it be tighter? The concubine was looking forward to it...... "She also hugged my back with her backhand.

"So?"

"And tighter...... Tighter ......" she grabbed the clothes behind my back with her hands.

All right...... I pulled her breasts open and peeled them off her shoulders, revealing her soft and touching breasts. I took a deep breath and buried my head in drunkenness.

She stopped talking, reached out and hugged the back of my neck, and snorted softly. Originally, her voice was very good, but at this time, it was even more like Xianle.

It didn't take long for me to pick her up and move her to the tatami mat in the main seat of the hall.

After a while, it finally calmed down.

"You're a wicked...... I leaned over her, caressing her smooth neck.

"Look at this body, it doesn't look like a person in his forties at all!" I moved my hand to her chest.

"No wonder there are rumors that His Royal Highness Miyoshi Toyozen Mamoru Yoshiken killed ......His Highness Hosokawa Sanki Morichi Takashi because he wanted to get you," I subconsciously kneaded in her chest.

However, I suddenly noticed that two tears flowed down the corners of her eyes from her eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked her strangely, wasn't it nice just now?

"When His Royal Highness Mie said this, he must have looked down on the behavior of the concubine!" She sobbed.

"How so?" I comforted in passing.

"You are a gentle person, so you will naturally be unaccustomed to it, and the concubine body has already seen it," she whimpered, "but, as a woman, how can you stop the ambition of men?" In addition to the body, what can be taken out in exchange for the child's Antai? ”

That's how it happened? My hand slowly stopped.

If you think about it, it's a real possibility. At the beginning, Miyoshi Yoshiken killed Hosokawa Chitaka, if it weren't for her commitment to marry and serve with her will, Miyoshi Yoshiken probably wouldn't have let Hosokawa Mayuki go easily. Even if he was let go of him first in consideration of the influence of the territory at that time, there were plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the next ten years, and it was impossible for him to occupy the position of guardian of his country in peace.

It's no wonder that Mayuki Hosokawa was able to tolerate her and Shinohara's self-escape, and when I met for the first time, even though I saw her seducing me, I just called "Mother-sama" in a sullen voice, without showing the slightest anger.

For Hosokawa Shinyuki, it is undoubtedly a shame to rely on his mother to survive with sexuality. However, even if he disagrees with his mother's intentions, he must be able to understand them!

As for Miyoshi Changji and Shihe Depository, although they are also her children, both of them are the heads of the family, and there are so many retainers, there is no need to worry about anything in the Great Shape Palace. On the contrary, she also uses her status as a mother to suppress them so that they don't bully Hosokawa Shinyuki as the eldest son too much...... It's really hard for her.

"I'm sorry I just said something excessive." I apologized, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, brushing away the scattered strands of hair on her forehead.

"Your Highness Mie, you are really a very gentle person," she tried her best to smile, "It's a pity that the concubine can't leave Rokuro, and she's getting older...... So, it's as if it never happened! ”

I nodded. When I saw her come dressed as a maid, I had this realization.

……，…… Two days later, Shinyuki Hosokawa returned to Katsurui Castle. He took advantage of the vermilion painted gold Tuyu given by Yoshiaki, and carried it until he landed in front of the main pill, and then he got out of the tuyu, dressed in a new tufted dress, but his complexion was excellent, without any fatigue from afar.

I greeted him: "It's hard work to go down to the house-shaped hall. This time, things are going well, right? ”

"The palace of the princess and His Royal Highness Danzheng are very favored, and they have been promoted from the fifth position to the rank of Sanqi Shou." He held the hilt of the knife at his waist and bowed slightly.

"Yes, that's a great congratulations!" I said with a smile.

Sanki Mamoru is the hereditary position of his Awahosokawa family, so the Awahosokawa family is also called the Awahosokawa family. Obtaining this position meant that the shogunate officially recognized his status, and he also received Nobunaga's acquiescence.

"This is also the blessing of His Royal Highness Mifold!" He laughed along, "Besides, isn't His Royal Highness the Triple Protector a country of Awaji?" This is also a welcome thing to celebrate. In the future, please take care of it. ”

"If you are called, you will serve." I readily agreed to his request.

When he got along with his mother, I think I should make amends to him.

Perhaps, this was exactly what his mother wanted...... Although I've done quite a bit for him now.

Returning to Honmaru together, I ordered Kazuki Joto to obtain the Pledge of Allegiance from the nobles of the four prefectures, as well as the Vice-Writ of Security issued in my name as the executor of the contract.

I motioned to Kazuki Joto to put the paperwork in front of Mayuki Hosokawa: "The division of the territory is almost complete. The official security form, as well as the Wanxing form that promised to increase the territory before, are waiting for the lower house-shaped hall to come back and draw the pledge to be issued. ”

"It's really annoying Your Highness Mie," Shinyuki Hosokawa said with emotion, "People say that His Highness is kind, and I have really seen it!" ”

"Shimogata Hall is serious," I laughed, "There are two more things that need to be decided by Shimogata Hall itself. ”

Then I talked about Ichinomiya Seiyu and Shinohara's self-escape.

Ichinomiya Nariyu's question is okay, I think he will surrender to Hosokawa Shinyuki. According to the original trajectory, in a few years, he should alienate Miyoshi Nagaji and move closer to Hosokawa Shinyuki.

However, Shinohara's self-escape is not easy to do, although he has served as Hosokawa Shinyuki's assistant for a long time, and he has not embarrassed Hosokawa Shinyuki much, but he is always in charge of monitoring on behalf of the Miyoshi family. Maybe he thinks he's good for Hosokawa Shinyuki, and even protects him to some extent, but from Hosokawa Shinyuki's standpoint, he will definitely feel very unhappy.

What's more, he also looks forward to continuing to maintain an ambiguous relationship with the Great Shape Hall...... Sure enough, hearing my relay, Shinyuki Hosokawa immediately changed his face.

"Let him leave Shengrui City immediately!" He yelled at his attendants.

The attendant hurriedly bowed his head and quickly walked out of the main hall.

Hosokawa Mayuki exhaled a long breath before his emotions calmed down.

"Let His Highness Mie see it smile. I'm really embarrassed to lose my temper like this in front of you. He nodded apologetically.

"This is a matter for the Hosokawa family, so naturally it is up to Shimogatataden to decide," I smiled, "In this case, things are pretty much the same!" Next, it's time for me to hand over Katsurui Castle to the Hosokawa family......"

"Is Your Highness Mie leaving?" Hosokawa Mayuki said in surprise, although his words seemed to be retaining, but his eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of excitement.

I was able to understand his emotions. It's been seventeen years since he became the guardian, and although he is the nominal lord, he has never really mastered the number one city in Shikoku.

"yes!" I said thoughtfully, "I will finish the handover as soon as possible, and I will take a break to Awaji Province." ”

"In that case, let's do what His Highness Mie wants!" Hosokawa Shinyuki pushed the boat down the river and agreed with my opinion, "If there is anything that needs my help to guide Awaji, please try to give me as many orders as possible, no need to be polite." ”

"Thank you very much!" I was about to ask him, "Can you ask Shimogatataden to hand over the castle to me as a base for my strategy of Awaji and a hub for connecting the two countries in the future?" ”

"There's no problem with that." He readily agreed.
