"Inheriting the Shibata family business? It's true? When? After hearing these words, Ryuwangmaru no longer bothered about the 200 troops, but hurriedly asked.

"Naturally, after the end of this war with the Kinoshita family, I will pass on the family business to you, you are a daimyo with hundreds of thousands of stone land, how can you be tempted." Now that the issue of the heir has been finalized with the Takayama clan, Shibata Katsuya is also relaxed, especially after seeing the Dragon King Maru, this feeling is completely released by him.

"Grandpa, can you serve me before the decisive battle, if you wait for the decisive battle to end, then there are hundreds of thousands of stone land, what is the use of tens of thousands of troops."

After hearing this, Shibata Katsuya first glanced at the clan, and saw that the other party did not intend to refuse, so he said: "Okay, okay, it's up to you, originally I planned to wait for the grand Yuan dress ceremony for you after the war, since you are so anxious, then wait for you to return to Yuezhong with me, and then I will serve you Yuanfu." ”

"Really! Grandpa, let's go now. As soon as Ryuwangmaru heard that this had been done, he couldn't wait to fly to Kitanozhuang City with wings on his back, so as not to regret it from his father and grandfather.

"Lord, if there is nothing to do, then the subordinates will take a step back first, and please forgive me." Not to mention Ryuo Maru, even Shibata Katsuya himself wants to return to Jucheng as soon as possible.

"Let's go, let's go. You rabbit cub, you must not come out of your temperament in the future, do you hear! "Seeing that the two of them sang and harmonized, the clan had long wanted to drive people away, but now that the other party proposed it first, it happened that out of sight was pure.

But this was just the angry words of the clan, and a few days later, after he received that the Shibata Katsuya was about to hold a yuan dress ceremony for him, and arranged a marriage for him, and married Asai Chacha, the daughter of Asai Nagamasa, the clan still gave the name of the clan in his name to the dragon king pill, and since then the dragon king pill has been called the Shibata clan family.

And at the same time as the Dragon King Maru Motofu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had also received a war letter from the Takayama family.

That's right, it's Toyotomi Hideyoshi, not Kinoshita Hideyoshi, more than ten days ago, when he learned that the Maori Shimazu United Navy had eliminated the Ataka Navy Army, and the Li Family Navy had defeated the Kumano Navy and wiped it out at any time, he felt that Kinoshita's surname was completely unworthy of his identity.

Once the Gao Shan family has no naval army, then he can send an army to fight with him without any scruples, and it is not difficult to obtain the world, how can Kinoshita have such a surname, how can he be worthy of his identity as a person in the world, but he really has no culture, so he can only gather his retainers and let them think for themselves.

The retainers are also very happy about this, if the lord can change his surname, it will definitely only be good for improving the morale of the family's army, and it can also let them know the lord's determination to dominate the world.

So after a day of intense discussion, Hideyoshi still picked such a surname from dozens of listed surnames. Although literally, there is better, but when he saw the surname Toyotomi, he immediately had an idea.

The family and the Takayama family are different, the reason why the family can be strong is all due to the support of the retainers, and Toyotomi literally makes it clear that after seizing the world, he will not forget the merits of the retainers, and if he takes this as his surname, the retainers will not work harder. So he didn't hesitate to change his surname to Toyotomi.

And just as he thought, after taking Toyotomi as his surname, the retainers already knew that once they were able to defeat the Takayama family, then they would definitely get no less benefits, so just the change of this surname really united them a lot, and even some of them who were not firm in their hearts decided to die for the lord after they changed their surnames.

It's just that before Toyotomi Hideyoshi was happy for a few days, the news of the defeat of the family's navy was sent to him, and then the Takayama family's war book also followed, which suddenly made him feel that this time he seemed to be playing a little big.

If there was no threat from the Changzong family and the Takayama army, he wouldn't be worried at all, but if he fought a decisive battle with the Takayama family now, he wouldn't be able to use all his strength at all. But now that the war books have been placed in front of him, there is no possibility of change, and he can only gather his retainers again to discuss the decisive battle with the Gao Shan family.

The assessment room of Himeji Castle is smaller than that of Odawara Castle, but there are many more samurai sitting in it than the Takayama family, and even the corridors and open spaces outside the assessment room are full of samurai.

"The Gao Shan family has sent someone to send a war book, this battle has to be fought or not, the family has no choice, now you don't have to talk about those useless ones, let's talk about how many troops can be produced." When Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was dressed in a golden body and held a folding fan in his hand, sat down in the main seat, he spoke directly.

Since the important ministers in the assessment room had already learned the news of the decisive battle with the Takayama family, even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't say it, they wouldn't persuade him.

"My lord, my subordinates have a country of Ise, 570,000 koku, and I am willing to send 10,000 troops to destroy the mountains and seize the world." Takigawa Ichiyi, as a member of the army that hates the Takayama clan, of course, did not let it open his mouth and said, since nearly twenty years ago, he has made a feud with the Takayama clan, and it has become his obsession to eliminate the other party, how can he have a country of Ise under his rule, but this is just exchanged with Kii and the lord a few months ago, plus Ise is close to the territory of the Takayama family, and a large number of wealthy forces in the country still want to wait for the decisive battle between the two families before making a decision on ownership, so he can't help but send a large army to defend, and it is already his limit to be able to dispatch 10,000 troops, If this number is exceeded, who knows if those wealthy families will launch a rebellion after they lead their troops to battle, if so, the Takigawa family's family business will be destroyed, which cannot be treated by Takigawa Kazuki carelessly.

It's just that for such a number, Toyotomi Hideyoshi will not be satisfied at all, so when Takigawa Yiyi finished speaking, he heard him say angrily: "Ten thousand? Are you kidding, I gave you nearly 600,000 stone land in Ise country, and you only sent 10,000 people to the war, I'll give you another chance, if it doesn't satisfy me, then after the war, I will have to consider the arrangements for the Takigawa family. ”

If it was two or three years ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi would not dare to say such things easily, but now that he has completely controlled Kinai and Harima, Misaku and other countries with millions of stones, coupled with the support of merchants in towns and towns such as Arikai and Himeji, he is not afraid of these foreign retainers at all, even if these people unite to launch a rebellion, he also has the ability to deal with it, in this case, he naturally will not give Takigawa Ichiyi any good words.
