Maeno Nagayasu and Wasuka Masakatsu are both rich second generations, and they both have a certain amount of power in their families, and their roots are also in Mino and Owari, so they obviously won't easily take refuge in others.? Come on,.!

So Zhengliang didn't have the intention of soliciting, but just planned to get a good relationship and see each other in the future. Thinking of this, Masarashi immediately said, "It turned out to be Toshimasa-sama of Mikawa, Nagayasu-sama of Mino-kuni, and Masakatsu-sama of Owari Province, you are really warriors." ”

The three of them couldn't help but blush slightly when they heard this. Maeno Nagayasu and Wasuka Masakatsu blushed because they were praised by Masayo. Both of them are teenagers, and they are just teenagers in the next generation, just when their blood is strong, just when the so-called road is uneven and draws a knife to help, Fang Cai also saw that the dozen or so people who escaped were obviously bullying, so they helped. And Honda Toshimasa's blush was mixed with complicated emotions, both happy for others to praise him, and embarrassed for what happened to Fang Cai. If he had enough money, the matter could be settled with money, and he wouldn't need to be caught up in the harassment of others.

But he really doesn't have any money. This time, in order to make some money, he resolutely escorted several masters to Kyoto to attend the Dharma Conference as a low-level samurai. Of course, this also came because of the acceptance of the lord's task. During this period, even samurai had different statuses, and some lowly samurai still needed to farm their own fields, not as long as they were samurai, they didn't need to plow the fields. Honda Toshimasa's family was so poor that they lived on his money in addition to a barren field. But he was just an inconspicuous lowly samurai under the Matsudaira clan's Okubo Tadashi. So for this kind of escort task that other samurai didn't look at, he also took it decisively. He led a few ashigaru escorts several masters who were friends with Okubo Tadashi to Kyoto.

Today is also considered unlucky. Finally ended the escort mission and took advantage of his free time to walk around the streets, only to encounter a few guys who were obviously blackmailers, which eventually led to a conflict.

"Down is Kyushu Hizen's Saemon Second Lieutenant Masarashi Roche." Masarashi introduced himself.

"It turned out to be His Highness Saemon, it's really rude." As soon as they heard that Zhengliang had an official position, the three of them immediately saluted.

"Hehe, if you are free in the future, you will not take a trip to Feiqian, and my family will definitely fulfill the friendship of the landlord." Masarashi continued, "Also. Remind you, those dozen or so people are from the Hosokawa family, and it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, I am afraid that those guys will soon lead a large group of people to come again, how about you get together at my residence? ”

"What?" Hearing that the dozen or so people were from the Hosokawa family, the three of them were taken aback. Even if it's annoyed and worried.

"His Royal Highness Saemon, I and the two of us still have important things to do, so it's inconvenient to bother again, if there is a fate in the future. We will definitely meet again. After thinking about it for a while, Wasuka Masaki saluted and said. This time they did come with something important to do. Now that something had suddenly happened, he decided to finish his work as soon as possible and leave Kyoto as soon as possible. After all, Kyoto is still the territory of the Hosokawa family. The Maeno Nagayasu behind him is obviously also the only bee Suga Masakatsu to take the lead.

"In that case, I won't force it in the future, I hope that when we meet again in the future, we can get together well." Masara said.

"In this way, there will be a period later." Maeno Nagayasu said apologetically. After speaking, the two left quickly.

"I don't know what Lu Daojun is right?" After the two left, Masarashi looked at Toshimasa Honda, the only one left, and asked.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Toshimasa Honda accepted Masayo's invitation. Anyway, the errand is done. Several of the masters in charge of the escort also went together, and the few ashigaru they brought with him also dispersed, so he didn't have anything to do, and since he was invited by Masaara, he was happy to admit it. After all, the other party is also a big official. And it has its own territory, so it must be a strong party. You must know that even his lord Okubo Tadashi is still a white body for the time being.

After returning to the accommodation, the two began to chat.

"I don't know if Lu Daojun is on this trip to Kyoto. What is it? "Masara is indeed curious, Mikawa is also a lot of distance from Kyoto, and with Honda Toshimasa's identity and family assets, it is indeed impossible to appear here. But now he is really sitting in front of Zhengliang.

"Saemon-sama, that's right." Then Toshimasa Honda stated the purpose of the trip.

"I see." Masashi nodded, "Lord Junzheng, please forgive me for being rude, in my opinion, I'm afraid that the situation at the family of Lord Junzheng is not very good at the moment." "During the Warring States period, even if you were a samurai, life was not necessarily very good, and there were also many samurai who struggled at the bottom of society.

"Ahem" was suddenly asked by Masaara, and Honda Junzheng immediately became embarrassed. If other samurai were asked like this, they would probably shoot the case and leave, but Honda Toshimasa was different. Since he was willing to accept the escort task for the sake of the old and young in his family, even the other samurai disdained, it showed that he was able to accept this embarrassment at the moment.

And it was precisely when Zhengliang saw this point clearly that he took the liberty to ask. According to Masayo's memory, Honda Toshimasa's family was indeed relatively poor. Even when Honda Masanobu grew up, he would just settle down in a poor village and serve the head of Honda Toshimasa's family as a humble eagle craftsman. If it weren't for the discovery of Naisho Tokugawa Ieyasu, he would have struggled to survive on the edge of his father's life.

Look at Toshimasa Honda again, he is also an unlucky man. Because it won't be long before he dies in the conflict between the Matsudaira family and the Oda family.

"Lord Toshimasa, you accepted such an escort mission, obviously also to earn that small amount of money in order to support the old and young in the family, if the family now provides you with a field that is enough for your family to be self-sufficient, and recruits you as a warrior of the family, and enjoys fifteen koku a year, what do you think?" Masato said directly.

"This? My lord, are you soliciting this? Toshimasa Honda asked incredulously.

"Yes, as long as you promise to become a samurai of your family, the above treatment is my promise." Masato said with certainty.

"This?" Honda Toshimasa was blindsided all of a sudden. You must know that whether it is in the eyes of the Honda clan or his own lord, he Honda Toshimasa is just a lowly and even dispensable character. Now there is a party Haoqiang who personally recruited him, so that he can't adapt to it all of a sudden.

After a long time, with a fluctuating mood, Honda Toshimasa asked earnestly again, "My lord, is your promise serious?" He still can't believe what is happening in front of him.

Masarashi nodded. In my heart, I was a little surprised, it is said that it is not easy to recruit samurai, especially samurai who already have a family master. Now it seems that the other party seems to think that it is like a pie in the sky. Could it be that the other party's family is really so difficult that they don't even have to eat?

"Your Highness, I am willing to follow His Highness, but there are still children in the family, so ......" After gritting his teeth and thinking about it, Toshimasa Honda finally made up his mind and said his worst difficulties.

"It doesn't matter, move your family, and even your friends to your family's territory, and your family will provide them with a place to live and a land, enough for them to be self-sufficient." Masato said directly.

"Your Majesty Honda Toshi is visiting His Highness and thanking His Highness for his great kindness." After receiving Masayo's promise, Honda Junzheng immediately fell to the ground and shouted.

Looking at Toshimasa Honda who was prostrating himself on the ground, Masarashi couldn't help but think to himself, did he finally recruit Toshimasa Honda? Then his son will naturally follow, so that he will get another future famous general. It's just that Naoshige Nabeshima, who is still at home, or Masanobu Honda now, is still a child. That's it, it's also a small surname first, and then slowly educate. The plan for cultivating a small surname has thus taken shape in the political conscience.
