Soon after Zhengyuan left, Zhongzheng once again came to Ji Qin with the scrolls of military exploits reported by each family, although the results this time were still slightly exaggerated, but it was much more normal, and Ji Qin had no intention of letting them redo it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After that, Yoshiqin asked Tadamasa to seal these things and send them to Otani Castle along with the military merit scrolls of the three families of the Hachiki family, the Gamo family, and the Asai Masamoto family, which did not need to be modified before.

As for only reporting a rough piece of good news, it was sent to Kotani Castle before the celebration banquet. With the delivery of the military merit report, the task of the Hagi Jiqin army was also completed, and the army could be driven home at any time, or they could lead the troops back by themselves, and in the evening of the same day, some samurai left with their own ashigaru.

And Ji Qin was the last to drive back to the city after seeing that Iga was basically fine. It's just that Ji Qin didn't know that Hattori Masanari secretly met with the three sons of Hyakuchi who were under house arrest, and then the next day, the three sons of Hyakji took his own series of people to swear allegiance to the Asai family.

Omi Province Kotani Castle, as soon as the good news of the destruction of the Rokkaku clan and the occupation of Iga by the army of Hachiki Yoshikomi came back, Nagamasa immediately gathered all the important ministers, including Haibei Tsunami, who had already lived in seclusion, and was also recruited by Nagamasa.

After the surname finished reading the good news, the important ministers in the assessment room had different expressions, and then after seeing that Changzheng didn't say anything, they discussed it quietly with the people around him. Nagamasa calmly listened to the humming in the assessment room without interrupting.

The three of Hai Chiyu and the four elders of the Endo Naokei family also sat on the futon with calm faces, without any sign of discussion. After half an hour, the discussion in the assessment room gradually became quieter.

At this time, Nagamasa opened his mouth and said: "This time the destruction of the Rokkaku clan, all of them will take the country of Iga, and Masamoto Asai will be the deputy general, and he will be ordered to take charge of the country of Iga, do you have any objections?" ”

What do you mean? Starting from the deputy general, is it necessary to suppress the main general or to be promoted? Asai Masamoto is your own brother, and it was also your decision to send him to Hagi Yoshiqin as a lieutenant general and then gild, now come and ask us if we have any ideas? Joke.

"His Royal Highness Zhengyuan's ability to command the army, I have already seen it, but after all, he is young, and he is about to take charge of a country just now, I'm afraid it's a little reluctant, according to the following opinion, it is better to let His Royal Highness Zhengyuan be the lord of a city first, in order to see the effect. As for this Iga country, it is better to let the Hachiki Minbu take charge of it first, so that the Kitada family in the south will also be able to turn over, wouldn't it be better. ”

When everyone was groaning, Endo Naokei suggested in a deep voice, Nagamasa's face moved, but he didn't say more, but Jiuzheng, who was listening, looked pale and slightly angry. Hai Chiyu and the rest of the important ministers all looked sideways slightly, and Isono Yuanchang even stabbed Endo Naokyo in the back with his fingers.

Don't you know? How is it possible, it is impossible to be an old man and rely on the power of the dragon alone, so why did he suggest this, just because Naokei Endo was thinking that Ji Qin returned to Guanyin Temple City, once the main family carried out the Mino invasion, then his role would be greatly reduced, and he could only fight soy sauce in this invasion, and he could not earn any credit.

And to get Yoshiqin to Iga and change from the lord of the castle to the lord of the country, Yoshiqin will only be grateful to himself; And if Ji Qin is brought to the southern battlefield, Ji Qin will not be able to do anything big in a short time, and as long as the eastern battlefield ends quickly, he may still go to Ise Province to get a piece of the pie, wouldn't it be better.

This is the idea of Naokei Endo, which is very much in line with the thinking of a martial arts school, but someone will not let him get his wish.

"My lord, Endo is inexperienced and inexperienced, so I just need to send some more proficient and powerful people to His Royal Highness Masamoto, and His Royal Highness Masayuan thinks that he is also like a lord, a person who is as good as a stream, and he will definitely be able to govern Iga Country well. As for attacking the Kitada family, it is still too early for the family, and it can be discussed later. ”

Akawei Kiyotsuna glanced at Nao-su, and retorted in a deep voice, Naokei frowned slightly, and was about to refute, only to hear the rest of the people agree: "We agree with what Akao said." ”

Naokjing paused for a moment, and then stopped speaking. Changzheng pressed his hand and said in a deep voice: "Since there are no objections anymore, then it will be arranged like this, and in terms of strength, let's transfer the city lords of Kanzaki County for the time being." Sadashi, take a trip to Kyoto, and seek the position of Iga Mamoru for Masamoto. ”

"Yes!"

Ah Shu Sadashi and several castle lords of Kanzaki County responded. Nagamasa nodded, and then said, "The military exploits of the rest of the samurai were also sent over this morning, Yasuke, read it to all the adults, and discuss how to reward it." ”

The little surname Yasuke answered yes, and immediately read it, there is water in the military merits, everyone here is clear, and now Changzheng takes it out for them to discuss, it is just a formality, after all, there is a set of standards.

Soon, the rewards of many samurai were completed, and the important ministers also understood that the main event of this evaluation meeting was about to begin.

Qimu Jiqin, a symbol of the Asai family's young strong faction and the pillar of the martial arts faction, his rise, driven the Asai family's young samurai to win military merits of the enthusiasm, it can be said that without Ji Qin, there would be no Asai family today. However, for this evaluation, Changzheng did not put Ji Qin, the general in the first place, to reward him, and the important ministers who were not present did not think about it a little more.

The atmosphere was a little depressing, and Nagamasa said in a deep voice: "Qimu Yoshiqin, the general of the Hexagonal Invasion Army, subdued the Iga-ryu ninja in the midst of strategizing, destroyed the Rokkaku One Clan, and occupied the Iga country, making an indelible contribution to the expansion of the territory of the family." In addition, all the military expenses of this army were borne by the Qimu family independently, and the family did not provide any materials except for soldiers and horses. This credit is unprecedented, how should I be rewarded, and what are your good suggestions? ”

Want to be rewarded?

The ministers will understand, well, this is indeed the main event.

"According to the following opinion, the merit of the Hagi Minbu can be promoted to the elder of the family, and in addition, many lords of Kanzaki County have been transferred to Iga Province, and the Hagi Minbu can fully control the land of Kanzaki County."

Isono was the first to speak.

"Lord Isano, does the matter of the promotion of the Qimu Civil Department to the elder of the family need to be discussed again, is there more than 40,000 stones in the first county of Kanzaki County too much?"

The ministry general Xinzhuang Naolai retorted.

"Lord Xinzhuang's words are wrong, the only one who can open up the territory for the main family at his own expense is the Ministry of Qimu Ministry, this loyalty alone is enough to promote the position of the elder of the family, Kanzaki County, it's just a reward by the way."

Asai Masasumi immediately retorted, and as a result, there was a lot of noise in the assessment room, some said that neither could be done, some said that they would only give the same, and some said that they would give all of them, and the quarrel was inexorable.

Changzheng hammered the floor hard, and when the assessment room was quiet, he turned to his father and asked, "What does your father think?" ”

"Ji Qin, with this ability, he is also absolutely loyal to the master's family, and this reward is not heavy."

Although it was not heavy, Jiuzheng didn't say anything more, and Changzheng didn't care, and then looked at the four family elders. Hai Chiyu and the three of them saw that Jiuzheng did not object, and the three who were not very opposed also nodded in agreement, although Endo Naokei was a little jealous, he also agreed.

Seeing this, Changzheng didn't care what the rest of the important ministers thought, and directly ordered: "Promote Qimu Jiqin to the elder of the family, and increase the land of Kanzaki County, this order!" ”

"The lord is wise!" (To be continued.) )
