Kuroda was in a hurry to return to Ichikawa Castle to preside over the overall situation, so he only met with Wanyoshi in a hurry in the city, told him the results of the entire evaluation meeting, and left the castle in a hurry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hearing that Fujioka Kuro jumped out against the Kuroda family, Wanyoshi was a little unhappy, but should he use some small means? For example, blowing the wind at Mrs. Song's place, forget it, I am not such a subordinate, dirty person.

In the afternoon, the people gathered at Ichikawa Castle to conduct post-war evaluations and rewards. Because of the harvest this time, the retainers sitting in the assessment room were all beaming. After seeing Kuroda vocational high school come in, everyone was quiet, waiting for the reward after the war.

Kuroda sat on the main seat and said with a smile: "Everyone, the Kuroda family can obtain this large piece of land this time, all of which are the credit of you for fighting bravely to kill the enemy or sitting in the rear, no matter what, you are all meritorious heroes. The Masatose Kodera had already ordered that all the land he had acquired this time be given to the Kuroda family, and I proposed that the 6,000 koku of Himeji Castle be returned to the Kodera family. The lord ordered the family to return the original Himeji Castle, and the family owned 6,000 koku of land, but the lord gave Himeji Castle 3,000 koku to Koji Takahisa-sama. ”

"What? Give me Himeji Castle 3,000 stones? How good is that. Koji Takahisa stood up and said embarrassedly, and all the retainers around him laughed when they heard his words.

"Since Your Highness has rewarded it, you can accept it! Anyway, you are not only the adopted son of the old lord of the Koji family, but also the elder of my Kuroda family, and you will serve my Kuroda family in the future! Kuroda said with a smile.

"Hey! Lord, I see. ”

"Since you have become the lord of a city, you can't do without your subordinates, I will arrange for a few ministers under Elder Konishi to help you deal with internal affairs, and transfer four family flag warriors to your command, it should be fine. At the same time, you have an easy-going personality and have a good relationship with the generals in the family. ”

"Hey!" Kodera Takahisa was very excited.

"Ite-sama stepped forward." Tomoshi Ide, who was sitting in the first row, stepped forward and sat down.

"Imate Tomo's clan fought bravely to kill the enemy in this battle, beheaded a total of five samurai, and made a contribution to this battle, the original leader Fenggong moved to seal the northern Beihe River and a thousand stone land, and the flag warriors sent by the family before are still under the command of the Imate Tomotomo clan, hoping to continue to work hard and serve the public wholeheartedly."

"Hey!" Imate Tomoshi happily retreated to his former position among the retainers.

"Mother-sama Kobei stepped forward." Hearing the call himself, the Musato Kobei, who was sitting in the second row, immediately stepped forward and sat down.

"As a retainer of the family, the mother of the small soldier has served the family for 20 years, dedicated to the public, bravely killed the enemy, and killed a total of three samurai in this battle, plus the previous merits in the family, awarded the second merit of this battle. Seal Xiaokou Castle for 500 stones, and at the same time upgrade the mother to the old man of the family, I hope that the mother of the mother of the small soldier will be able to guard the western gateway for the Kuroda family in the future, and continue to serve the public wholeheartedly. ”

"Hey! The kindness of the Kuroda family is unforgettable, and I am willing to go to the soup for the Kuroda family. Musato Kobei said excitedly, and when he returned to his position, he couldn't hold back his tears. Musato Kobei has been serving the Kuroda family since he was a teenager, and it has been nearly twenty years, and he has served Kuroda Shigetaka, Kuroda Zhitaka and Wanyoshi, which can be regarded as a new Kuroda family, a rare three generations of old ministers. He didn't expect that this time the Kuroda family would promote himself to the position of the elder of the family, so for a while, he couldn't help but be moved. Of course, it's also because the Kuroda family has no foundation, only the mother of the family, Kobei, a retainer of the old family, who else can he promote if he is not promoted?

"Hattori Hattori stepped forward." Hattori Baocho, who was sitting in the back corner, walked to the front of the crowd and sat down in front of Kuroda with a very respectful expression.

"The land seized by the family, after a preliminary land inspection, about 11,000 stones, Hattori Baoshi led the ninja people, for the family to find out the news, in Ichikawa Castle to attack and kill the defender general, open the small mouth of the castle gate, attack the Takino Hall army, and burn the Takino Army rations, robbed the Takino Army's grain transportation team, the merit is brilliant, so the Hattori Protector was awarded the three merits of this battle."

Several family elders and important ministers all know that this is the meaning of the young lord Wanji, so they have no opinions, even a few family elders have no opinions, and the other samurai dare not have opinions, and the role of the ninja in this battle is deeply felt by everyone in the Kuroda family, so whether it is sincere or not, anyway, on the surface, all the ministers expressed their respect.

Actually, for this reward, Wanji originally said in the letter that he hoped to let the Hattori security chief receive some credit, but after all, he had to take into account the feelings of other people in the family, Kuroda Zhitaka could only communicate privately with the Hattori security chief, and the Hattori security chief didn't care about how many merits it was, as long as the samurai merit and the land that was said to be good, so Kuroda Zhitaka put his mind at ease.

"The head of the Hattori Department is the commander of the family's ninja army, and he builds his own family's ninja army, and is promoted to the general of his family, sealing the 250 stone land in the foggy mountains behind Xiaokou Castle, and is responsible for the task of his family's intelligence exploration, fighting with the army, and protecting important personnel. All shinobi generals and ashigaru heads are appointed by Hattori-sama. In addition, 250 stone of land in the Sealed Foggy Mountain was given to the ninja army, which was used for the ninja army to establish the ninja training and the reward of other personnel. ”

"Thank you, Lord."

"Matsui Shigetaka-sama stepped forward", "Enryakuji Temple-sama stepped forward", "Dohiya Hachi-sama stepped forward", "Goto Keikuni-sama stepped forward", "Konishi-sama stepped forward", ............

After that, basically all the retainers here received different rewards, or land rewards, or increased income, or increased authority, and basically everyone was happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, one last thing to announce, because the family needs to transfer the territory, so it was decided to make Tachikawa Castle the future residence of the Kuroda family, and change the name to Kuroda Castle, this city is still relatively simple, the facilities are still very incomplete, and the castle town needs to be rebuilt, and the future construction of this castle is also up to you."

"Hey!" Dozens of people made a deafening sound.

That night, in Manyoshi's room in the backyard of the Imperial Hall of Gojojo, Manyoshi was excited to learn that the Kuroda family had actually controlled more than 13,000 koku of land.

"Jeongsung, are you there?" Wan Ji suddenly asked in a not very loud voice.

As soon as he finished asking, a black shadow half-knelt in front of Wanji, lowered his head, and didn't say a word, it was Hattori Masanari. Wan Ji looked at him still so serious, shook his head with a smile, and sat up himself.

"Zhengcheng, why are you always so serious? This battle with Takinoden is thanks to the ninja army! The latest news, my father decided to give the ninja army a total of 800 stone of land. After Wanji finished speaking, Hattori Masanari still didn't say a word.

"I know it's like this, it's boring! But Zhengcheng, now we still need to work hard to accumulate strength, but the future is ours, I will definitely lead the Kuroda family to the stage of the Warring States in the future, and you will also become the new leader of the ninja army, I want to grow up soon! ”

When Wanji talked about the future, he didn't notice that Hattori's eyes flashed with a moment of brilliance, and it was obvious that what Wanji said still touched Hattori's heart. After this period of time together, of course, Hattori Masashi was observing in the dark, and he found that Wanji was really a different child, with far more knowledge and vision than ordinary people, no wonder his father would believe in the Kuroda family, it turned out that it was because of this child who was four years younger than himself!

Suddenly, Hattori Masanari felt something, held a shuriken at his waist, and immediately whispered to Wanji: "Young master, be careful, there are assassins." “
