Chapter 16 The monk of the whole sect and the chief of the Hattori guard

"This time, our army will do its best, and the Kuqiao family will send 200 troops to guard the earthen mountain for our side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so in addition to 50 people to guard the northern territory of the well hand, 100 people to guard the territory of the family, there are still more than 500 people who can fight, and then do not hesitate to recruit people from the ronin as much as possible, once this battle is successful, the family will get a large territory, everyone has a reward, the family will not be stingy. ”

"Hey!"

"His Royal Highness the Hattori Chief, please take a trip to the Imperial Castle, Inuko Wanji hopes to meet you."

After the meeting was over, everyone went down to prepare for the great battle that would follow.

The Miki family and the Kuroda family are both directly facing the threat of the Takino Akamatsu family, so they have always had a good relationship, and they can be regarded as watching and helping each other. Therefore, when he heard that it was the envoy of the Kuroda family who was visiting, Miki Tsumei, the head of the Miki family, immediately ordered someone to bring the monks of the whole sect to meet him.

"Oh! Your Excellency is an emissary of the Kuroda family? I've seen most of the Kuroda family's samurai, but this is the first time I've met you. "Miki Tongming saw the whole sect monk and found that he had not seen this person, so he was quite curious.

"The whole sect of the poor monk Enryakuji Temple, I met His Highness for the first time, please take care of Your Highness."

"I'm here to contact my family this time, I don't know what His Royal Highness has to tell you?"

"This is a letter entrusted by the lord, please take a look at it."

The little surname handed the letter to Miki Tongming, who opened the letter and looked at it carefully. While reading and thinking, I read a text message for more than five minutes before I gently closed the letter and put it aside.

"I already know what Kuroda-sama means, but this matter is very big, you must know that for a weak and powerful wealthy family like us, the Takinoden is tantamount to a behemoth, and if you rush to send troops, you will inevitably be retaliated against by the Takinoden." The whole sect had already noticed a hint of cunning in Miki Tongming's eyes, obviously he had already moved, but he was not sure what he could get in return this time.

"The adult's statement, the poor monk is bold, and I think it is very ridiculous."

"Oh! Where is the absurdity? ”

"The poor monk dares to ask your lordship, how many times have you attacked the Miki family since Takino Hall took power?"

"I can't remember this, but there are always seven or eight times anyway! The most critical time, Yinghe Castle was almost breached, and the family was almost wiped out, but thanks to the assistance of the Kuroda family, the internal and external attacks repelled the Takino Palace, and only escaped this catastrophe. ”

"Then one of the seven or eight invasions of the Takino family was provoked by the Miki family?"

"How is it possible, the Miki family can't protect themselves, how can they take the initiative to attack Takino Palace."

"My lord, if you don't attack the Takino Palace, the Takinoden will also attack the Miki family, and when the time comes, the Miki family will either become a subordinate of the Takinoden or be destroyed by the Takinoden. This time, the Takino Hall did its best to raise the soldiers in the collar, and the emptiness inside was a godsend. My Kuroda family is in the Koji family, and the lord has agreed to marry, and the Kushihashi family is married, and the Kushihashi family will protect the earthen mountain for the family, and the family will go all out to protect the county, and when the Takino Hall knows the news and returns to the army, as long as we can capture one or two castles, we can refuse to defend the city, with the strength of my two families, how can I also bite a piece of meat on the Takino Palace. ”

"Then I don't know, what benefits can the family get?" After Miki Tongming finished speaking, the whole sect's heart trembled, here, this is the place where this negotiation is decided, only when the benefits are in place, the Miki family will really send troops to help!

"I wonder how big the adult's Miki collar was?" Jeon asked with a smile.

"When I inherited the family, there were still 5,000 stones, and now there are only 3,000 stones left."

"I don't know if it's good to help His Highness restore to the original territory."

Miki stood up: "If the Kuroda family can really help the family do it?" ”

"Adults must know that things in the world are not completely satisfactory, and there is always a trace of variables. However, the Kuroda family promised that as long as they could obtain more than 2,000 koku of land from Takinoden this time, they would give priority to His Highness Miki, so would Miki Hall think it would be good? ”

"What do you say! I can't thank you enough, Master, and I have one last question, what are the odds of this? ”

"If the poor monk says that the nine achievements are open-mouthed, tell the truth, sixty percent of them are sure. As I said earlier, capturing one or two castles of the Takino family is only the first step, and the cooperation between the two of us to select a stronghold and survive the counterattack of the Takino Hall is the key to this battle."

"Sixty percent? Okay, the master will discuss everything as it is, without concealment, and he will definitely believe in the credibility of the Kuroda family. Please reply to His Royal Highness Kuroda Zhitaka: The Kuroda family will help the Miki family to send troops, and the Miki family will immediately prepare for war in secret. What does the master think is so good? ”

"Your Highness Xie, since this is the case, I will go back to my family first."

"Master, wait a minute, I'll personally send the master out of the city."

Miki Tongming's face at this time, can no longer suppress his mood, all kinds of joy, happy expressions are on his face, after all, the repossession of the territory, is a knot that has been haunting his heart, the land of two thousand stones is how many generations of the ancestors of the Miki family carved out, and then lost in his own hands, he was desperate to think that he could never get it back, but fortunately now that he finally has a chance, he must grasp it well.

Almost at the same time that the master entered Miki Castle, he was in the bedroom of Castle Motomaru Wankichi, who was preparing to take a nap.

Suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing, and he was just about to turn around when he found a person appearing in front of him. In his thirties, he is not tall and does not look very inconspicuous, but he has a lot of wounds on his face, his eyes are sharp, and he looks very resolute

"Your Excellency is the head of the Hattori family, right?" Wanji said calmly.

Wanyoshi's calmness made Hattori Baocho extremely surprised, it turned out that the general Ashikaga Yoshiharu-sama was shocked when he saw him for the first time, could it be that this child has a stronger heart than Ashikaga-sama, and the vast amount of equipment is not enough? At least in the past few days in the Kuroda family, he knows that the young master of the Kuroda family, Wanji, is wise and courageous, at least now his first impression is very good. I can't say that I really work for the Kuroda family.

"Young master, it's down there."

"One of the three ninjas of Iga Country, the commander of the Ashikaga Yoshiharu ninja people, the Kamishinobi family of Iga Province with five hundred stone land, I don't know why Your Excellency wants to go out to my Kuroda family."

"Oh! The young master actually knows my deeds. "Hattori has always appeared in the shadows of the night, and there are not many opportunities to be exposed to the sun like this, and this child in front of him actually knows his origin, which is really not to be underestimated!

"If that's right, what the young master just said should be me. Young master, I and the Hattori family behind me are indeed as the young master just said. But in these troubled times, everyone is just trying to survive, and my Hattori family is the same. But the status of ninjas is low, and they have always been the toys of the great names, even ninjas who are superb in ninjutsu and have outstanding achievements, but they can't get the status of a samurai. Kuroda family monks, craftsmen, craftsmen, including ninjas, as long as they really have a skill, and meet the needs, they can get the status of samurai, which is what I like about the Kuroda family. ”

"What kind of position does the lord have in his family now?"

"The military is paid, the head is light, and the year is ten times."

"Hey! With such a position, adults will be unwilling in their hearts! ”

"Why did the young master say this?"

"Okay, I won't tell you much, what I want is for your Hattori family to be used by me. But at present, you should also know the situation of your family, and you can't give you so much land for the time being, but after this battle, I will choose a secluded place under the next guarantee, reward you with 500 stone of land, and hire your family as the commander of the ninja army, the general, responsible for information exploration, fighting with the army, and protecting important personnel. By the way, all the shinori generals and ashigaru heads of the ninja army were appointed by Your Excellency, and the pensions of all the dead who appeared after that were the same as those of the same level of the army in the family, what does the chief of the guardian think? ”

Wanji said a lot of conditions at once, Hattori Baochang didn't react at once, it still needs time to digest, Wanji also waited patiently, there was no urging at all, only by really subduing Hattori Baochang, can he really accept Hattori's family.

"What the young master just said, but is it true?" Hattori's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course, but as I said the same thing, what I need is the allegiance of the Hattori family." Wanji said solemnly.

Hattori Baochang said with a smile: "The young master is young, but he has a unique vision and great ambitions, and he has never done anything uncertain in his next life, but this time he wants to put all the bets on the young master, and he promised on behalf of the Hattori family that as long as he is awarded 500 stone land after this battle, and recognizes the status of ninjas, as long as the Kuroda family does not fall, the Hattori family will always be loyal to the Kuroda family." ”

"Well, Bao Dai, there may be a few days to prepare for the war, I hope the adults can recruit some ninjas first, and then need the adult's ninja army to fight with the army, this is no problem, right?"

"Fifty ninjas can be summoned in the next three days."

"Okay, here's a letter from me, Hattori can take a look at it first, and then I would like to ask the adults to send it to my father." Wanyoshi handed a letter to Hattori Baocho, which had been prepared before.

After reading the letter, Hattori Chief bowed to Wanji, "I will retire first, please take care of the young master, and I will send a middle ninja to protect the safety of the young master later." ”

"Wait a minute, Hattori-sama, I still have a word, my lord just said that being born in troubled times is to live, and I feel that I can get better by being born in this troubled times, and even end this troubled times with my own hands."

Hattori Baochang was shocked when he heard Wanji's words, it seems that he still underestimates this young master of the Kuroda family, at the age of seven or eight, he already has the ability to remotely control the Kuroda family, and when he is an adult, he doesn't know what to achieve, and he ends this troubled world with his own hands?

"I hope the young master can achieve what he wants." Hattori said coldly.

"If that's the case, would the Hattori family be willing to become a ninja daimyo?"

"Ninja Daimyo?" When Hattori heard these words, he even felt like he had been grabbed by the neck for a moment, and he had difficulty breathing, and he was a little suffocated.
