This is what the Takayama clan wants, but he doesn't want to make the atmosphere too dull, so he half-jokingly, half-commandingly said: "Kotaro, I heard a rumor that everyone who has seen your true face is dead, but now that you have become a retainer under my command, if you haven't even seen your true face, this seems to be a bit too much, if you let others know the truth, won't it let others say that I don't care about the retainers, why don't you take off the mask and let me see how your true face is." ”

"This ......" Wind Demon Kotaro couldn't help but hesitate after listening, since he was born, no one has seen his face except his parents, if he is allowed to see the lord, then will all this he has obtained be wasted because of his appearance? Forget it, anyway, all this is given by the Lord, what else do you have to hide.

Thinking of this, I saw him take off his mask, but as his face emerged, he also lowered his head.

The retainers, like the clansmen, looked at him curiously. It's okay not to look at it, but I was startled when I saw it, although the wind demon Kotaro can't be called how ugly, but it is completely different from his own appearance, I saw that not only his hair is red, but even his eyebrows are also red, his five views are deep, the bridge of his nose is straight, and his eyes are even more sky blue, and with his tall body, this... This is exactly the devil incarnate.

After the Takayama clan saw it, they were not too surprised, in their previous life, some people guessed that they were Ainu, that is, Ezo people, but it could not be confirmed. Therefore, he has already been prepared, and seeing him today is enough to prove that the speculation that everyone in the previous life has learned is true.

After looking at the wind demon Kotaro's pale face because of the long haul, he only heard the clan say: "Ha Luha, it's a pity that you are more suitable to lead the ninja, and the elite armor foot light team of this family already has a leader, otherwise." With your face, you're good enough to be in charge, Haluha. My Gaoshan Clan Sect was made a demon by those bald donkeys, I didn't expect there to be such an evil ghost as you under my command, Ha Lu Ha! ”

"The lord doesn't plan to drive his subordinates away?"

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Drive away? Why? Is it because you are a foreigner? You don't have to worry about this at all. \\starter\\I don't know which clan I am in, my family has always pursued the principle of high and capable people, no matter what race you are, as long as you are loyal and capable, then there will be a day to come.

In the same way, I don't care what you used to do, whether you're a merchant, a farmer, or a ninja. As long as you have the ability, you can get the same treatment as other samurai, and this principle has not changed before, and no matter how many generations the Takayama family has passed, it will never change. So you don't have to worry about anything at all. ”

"Yes, the lord's repentant subordinates must be in mind." After speaking, I saw him sitting extremely straight with his head held high.

And when he sat up straight, he suddenly filled the Sugitani Zenjubo, who was also a ninja at the lower hand, with pressure on him, and the Wind Demon Kotaro seemed to be in front of him like a mountain. And blocked his view, if he didn't probe a little, even the lord couldn't see it.

And what's even more unfortunate is that Keiji Maeda, who is sitting under him, is also tall, and he is completely added in the middle by two mountains.

Karumi Mitsu apparently regained calm in the pacification room, so he continued to read: "Wasuka Masakatsu and the ninja army under his command not only made a lot of merit in the Hida strategy, but also caused serious losses to the Takeda family on the way back to Hida with the ninjas in the Wind Demon Lane, and brought back 100,000 kan funds for the family, which is enough for the family to make up for the losses in this battle, so it should be ......a secondary merit."

As soon as Kazumi Mitsuken said this, he only heard Wasuka Masakatsu interrupt loudly: "My lord, my subordinates think that the reward is unfair, so please forgive my subordinates for not accepting it." ”

The clan couldn't help frowning after hearing this, although the merit of Wasuka Masakatsu is not small, but if there is no Wind Demon Kotaro to return to obedience, how can he lead the ninjas in the Wind Demon to achieve such results, so the clan believes that there is nothing unfair in his decision, which should be figured out with the wisdom of Wasuka Masakatsu, but now he is speaking out against it, what kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect say with a slight displeasure in his tone: "Huh? If there is any injustice, I will hear from you. ”

"Back to the lord, the subordinates believe that in a battle with the Takeda family, the elder of the Takayama clan was the first to launch a counterattack, it can be said that most of the Hida were captured by Takayama Lord, and when the family first came out of the army, Takayama Lord only won Matsukura Castle by himself, it can be said that whether it is the Ji Xiaolu family or the Yama family, these two forces that have been entrenched in Hida for many years have been destroyed by Takayama Lord, even if this kind of merit is not the first merit, at least it can be deserved as the second merit, and the subordinates are not for themselves, but for Takayama Lord's grievances, Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

When Wasuka Masakatsu finished speaking, he heard the other retainers also echo him: "My lord, my subordinates think that what Wasuka-sama said is reasonable. ”

The Takayama clan didn't know the credit of the clan chief, but the reason why he didn't set it in the top three was not because he was his brother, for fear of causing dissatisfaction among the retainers, and this was also a decision made after consulting with the clan chief, but who knew that it was the result.

I really have the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman, and seeing all the retainers complaining for the Takayama clan, the clan not only did not feel angry about this, but felt very relieved, and all the retainers in the family spoke for him, which is enough to prove that the Takayama clan chief has been completely integrated into the retainers, and has not been excluded because he is his younger brother, it seems that he is still very wise to let him unite the retainers.

As for the retainers who complained about it, he knew that the retainers under his command were all upright people, and he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with his injustice, since he thought about it, how could he not make preparations with both hands, so when the retainers just finished speaking, I saw him smile slightly, took out a file from his arms, handed it to Qinghai Guangxian, and then said: "I am very pleased with your performance, the ministers of this family are all bright and upright samurai, and this family has all of you, how can there be no reason not to prosper, Guangxian, you can continue." ”

After Karumi Mitsuken opened the new file, he only glanced at it slightly, and then continued: "The head of the Takayama clan led the people to capture Matsukura Castle, annihilated Kokubunji Temple and subdued the Ema family, captured several Hida Castles, and made great contributions to the family, and was specially promoted to the rank of general. ”

This time, after Karumi Mitsuken finished speaking, there were no more retainers who were dissatisfied, and the head of the Takayama clan wanted to refuse, but when he thought that doing so, he would embarrass his brother, so after hesitating for a moment, he still accepted it with a red face.

And because the clan chief has obtained the second merit, then Bee Suga Masakatsu can only be demoted to three merits, in addition to being promoted to a general, the other rewards he received are not much different from the Takayama clan chief, but he is fifty stone less than him in Zhixing, which is nothing to him at all.

He is already higher than the retainer Fenglu of the same identity of the family, and since the reform of the family system, the branch has become less important, compared to the title is more important, although even if you don't have to pay to the title, but the status is not as good as his own samurai, but he doesn't want to salute the samurai of the same identity, now it seems that the highest knight in this battle is a first-class baron except for the wind demon Kotaro, and he has obtained such a title, at least in the near future, don't worry, as for the future, As long as you work hard, are you afraid that other people's titles will surpass you?

"Maeda Toshiie, Watanabe Moritsuna, Sugitani Zenjubo, Omiya Keiren, and Maeda Keiji contributed a lot in this battle, and they were each promoted to the next level. He was given the title of baronial of the second class, and each person was given 500 stones. He also appointed Maeda Toshiie as the Gujo Hachiman Castle Castle Generation, Watanabe Moritsuna as the Masuda Castle Castle Generation, Sugitani Zenjubo as the Housing Card Castle Castle Generation, and Omiya Keiren as the Takagen Castle Castle Generation. ”

"Mizse Uemon, Katsusuke Tanaka, each promoted to the next level. Barony of the third class. ”

"Although Yamauchi Kazutoyo did not have any merit in this battle, he trained a strong army for his family, and he was given the title of third-class baron. and appointed as the city representative of Nabeyama Castle. ”

"Nakagawa Kazuhide, Horihide Masato plus a third-class baron."

When the reward for the leading samurai was made, I saw that Karumi Guangxian took out another file, and the next step was to reward the non-leading samurai such as the military advisor.

"Honda Masashi, Sanada Masayuki made a plan in this battle, which is really indispensable, the two military divisions are promoted to the first level, each with a title of 400 stones, plus the title of second-class baron, and they can each recruit fifty guards."

"Kagawa Tadaji worked hard and transported the armor and weapons back before the war, so that the family's combat strength was greatly improved, and he was specially promoted to the rank of general, Zhixing Ohara Village 400 stone Zhixing, plus the title of second-class baron, can recruit fifty guards."

"Although the Nakamura Kazushi did not have great success in this battle, he has always been conscientious since his allegiance, and he was specially promoted to the rank of Ashigaru General and added the rank of third-class baron."

"Yamada Nagamasa led his craftsmen to make weapons for his family day and night, and with the previous credit, he was promoted to Ashigaru General. Baron of the 3rd Rank. ”

“……”

With the light sea light general closed the file in his hand, the reward has also come to an end, regardless of whether there are no samurai who have not been promoted, but at least everyone has obtained the title, if according to the standard set by the clan, then at least half of the retainers will not be able to obtain the title in this assessment, but in order to allow the retainers to accept this new system as quickly as possible, and let the retainers under his command have the ability to protect themselves, so the clan has to open the net, everyone has a share, as for the future, then it is necessary to act according to the rules.
