"Alright guys. www.biquge.info "Kuroda said at this time, but for the speech of more than 500 people, his voice alone is still too weak.

"Silence" The small surnames sitting in the corridor shouted loudly together, and everyone in the court immediately fell silent.

"Kodera clan come forward," shouted Genji, who was the new head of the small surname.

"Hey" Kotera clan was the first to sit in the middle of the big wide room.

"The master of the Kotera clan, the royal lord of the castle was returned, and the 80,000 stone of the Tanba country was transferred to the country, and the place of the Tanba country was managed for the family, and at the same time the safety of the east direction of the family was guaranteed."

"Hey! Thank you, Lord. The Kodera clan bowed respectfully to Kuroda.

"Eighty thousand stones?" "So much?" "This is a relatively big daimyo-level!" "It's really generous to the Koji family!" "The Kotera family has also risen now"

"Silence," the little ones could only shout again.

"Ite-sama comes forward"

"Hey"

"Lord Itetomo has increased the land of Mido County by 40,000 stones, and has a total of 54,000 stone of Tsurushou Castle, so as to prepare for the family's future Sanyo Road raids, and the Lord will take charge of Bichu One Province and the three counties of Bizen Province."

"Thank you, lord!" Ite said with a smile, his face full of confidence.

"Shigetaka-sama Matsui stepped forward"

"Hey"

"Lord Matsui Shigetaka has increased the land of Iwai County, Takakusa County, and Gasta County by 30,000 stones, and has a total of 50,000 stones of Tottori Castle, which is a good place for the family to operate, and at the same time ensures the safety of the mountain ** direction of the family."

"Hey!"

"Kodera Takahisa-sama stepped forward"

"Hey"

"Takahisa Kodera transferred the title of Gosho Castle to 50,000 koku, and Himeji Castle Domain continued to keep it, guarded the eastern gateway for the Kuroda family, and guarded and prepared for an attack on the Bessho family."

"Hey"

"Musato Kobei-sama stepped forward"

"Hey"

"Musato Kobei-sama has added 30,000 koku land to Ishi-gun and Kinosaki-gun, and has received a total of 40,000 koku from Ishijo, so as to prepare for the family's attack on Tango Province, and continue to develop the internal affairs of Tajima and pacify the region."

"Thank you, my lord, the mother's family will be loyal to the Kuroda family."

"Mitsuaki-sama stepped forward"

"Hey"

"Lord Miki Tongaki returned the original territory, and transferred the 39,000 stones of Misaku Kunizu Mountain City to develop the territory of Misaku and half of the country for his family."

"Thank you, the Miki family will die for the Kuroda family."

The Kuroda family has six elders so far, and at the same time, with their fiefdom as the center, the Kuroda family has formed a pattern with the Kuroda family as the core and the six legions as the garrison.

As for the forces of the generals in all aspects, this time a large-scale transformation has also been carried out.

The Kodera family already has powerful retainers such as Kushihashi Iding, Hiromine Nagashi, Kamiyoshi Masadari, and Kuno Shigesei, so the Kuroda family has not sent a force.

Under the command of the Itetomo clan are the foreign minister Nobu Hara Keono, Bizen Kunizai Hanabo Masayuki, Araki Murashige, Takeuchi Hisakatsu, Shimizu Soji, Kuno Shigekatsu, Masuda Masakiyo, Miyake Ieyoshi, Yoshida Nagatoshi; Preparation of Chugoku Zhongheizuka Weihiro, Urakami Kiyomune, Oda Shigetsu, Oda Ryotsu, Ikeya Kaneshige.

Under the command of Kotera Zuo's general Takahyu Army, there are important ministers Iga Kutaka, and Ritsumibu Kyoshiro, Inoue Nomasa, Maki Kunishi, Mu Shangchun, and Maki Nobumasa.

Under the command of Matsui Shigetaka's army, there were Okamoto Shihide, a heavy minister, and Rikusang Sono, Hattori Muneke, Ota Hara Sotoki, Wakaya Sumitsu, and Megada Yukinobu.

Under the command of the Musato Kobei Legion, there is a kind of important minister Akashi Keikin, and the mother Sato Takayu returns to the Musato family, and there are Kosai Zhennao, Saito Nagami, Shiwang Tenmasachi, Shio Tenmasashi, Uzu Yorishige, and Uzu Yorisho.

Miki Tsuaki removed his subordinates Hideaki Kurose and Akicho Kawamatai, as well as the Takeuchi family in Mimasakaku to help him manage the place.

In addition to the six major front legions, there was also Sanki Province temporarily managed by Motoyama Shigeru, and his sons Motoyama Sadashige, Motoyama Shigekei, Motoyama Shigenao, Yasuo Orukawa, Keno Orukawa, Yoshio Orukawa, and Asahina Yataro, the lord of Koyama Castle, and Yoshiyasu Akiyama, the lord of Tamura Castle, who later surrendered.

As for the other retainers, they all received some rewards, and because the Kuroda family had a relatively strict merit record system, the rewards were acceptable to everyone.

Among the retainers, Hanafang Masayuki became a county with a fief of more than a thousand stones, and the old ministers Mitsuji Mitsuda, Tsuchihi Yahachi, Otani Moriji and others also obtained the thousand stone fiefdoms, and all four of them obtained the rank of general of the squire.

Compared with the samurai's reward, the reward of the concentric people was privately announced by Kuroda Jobaka later. The reason for the above and honest reward was because the Kuroda family was not big at the time, and after the Tajima Inba assessment, the reward of the Tongxin people was transferred to the underground.

Both Hattori Hocho and Fujibayashi Hoho have obtained the fief of Chigoku because of their merits, and they are retainers of the same level as Otani Moriji and others, and even have a higher actual status. And Oi Shinpachi, Kaneko Taro and others, who performed more tasks, also obtained fiefs of two or three hundred stones.

After all the rewards were completed, everyone returned to their original seats and sat down, and Kuroda said again, "My lords, there is one more thing I want to tell you today. ”

As soon as Kuroda said this, the people below immediately recovered from the excitement just now.

"Hmmm! Very well, ladies and gentlemen, this time the family returned to the Emperor the Imperial Household Domains of Kuwata-gun and Funai-gun, a total of 1,000 koku. At the same time, the Emperor's great grace, the last time there were more than 50 official positions in the family, and now they are distributed to you. ”

"What?" "Official position", "not an official name", "more than 50 official positions", "I don't know if there is me?" ”

After a short exclamation and sensation, everyone immediately fell silent. Although all of them were only the lowest-ranking official positions of the eight, after all, they were rewarded by the emperor himself.

Everyone who has obtained the official position is naturally extremely happy. The people who did not get an official position are also secretly determined that they must have their own official positions next time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one last thing. Starting from today, every year after the beginning of the New Year, after the New Year's assessment of the family, there will be a ceremony for new young people. Every year after that, the young samurai of the family who have reached adulthood will perform this ritual after the New Year's assessment. ”

"Really?" "That's glorious!" "That's right!" "Isn't it the lord himself who presides over the Yuan Fu" "Yes! ”

"This year's young samurai in Motofu are Ansuke, Inoko Hyosuke, Shinjiro, Kuemon, Yamanosuke, Kozaburo......"

More than a dozen young people entered the main hall under the leadership of Genji, who was a small surname, not the young head of the Kuroda family.

Ansuke, Shinjiro, and Kuemon are going to go directly to the Kuroda family, while more than a dozen young people led by Inoko Hyosuke are going to return home and inherit the family. (To be continued.) )
