Chapter 184: Invitation
"Everyone's worked hard!" The long assessment meeting was finally over, and Masahiro sat one floor higher in the castle tower assessment conference room in Doumu Castle, and after speaking, he stood up from his position, and the two attendants behind him hurriedly followed. biquge.infoAlmost at the same time, more than two dozen people kneeling on either side of the main hall fell to the ground in unison, bowing their heads deeply.
Looking at such a neat scene, Zhengheng rarely smiled, saying that it was a smile, but in fact, it was just a twitch of the muscles in his cheeks, and everyone could see that it was not a smile from the heart. He scanned everyone below, his sharp gaze almost breathless.
The content of the meeting is also very simple, that is, the results of the disposition of the battle exploits during the entire Kamiyogawa War. As decided before the meeting, during the reign of Shinmi Sadakei, he lost a qiΔ and surrendered to the Date family, and became the lord of Toki Castle and the nearby lands, with a whopping 800 koku, and Katayama Moricho officially joined the Date family and also received 600 koku from Fujiki Castle and nearby land, and the two became the commissioners of Nochi Township side by side; As for most of the local tyrants in Kamidaigawa Township, they did not deprive the local tyrants who did not come in person of their lands as Iwataka Daizo and Doi Gaiki imagined, and ensured their territorial security, but Iwataka Daizo and Doi Gaiki were also personally received by Masahiro and got what they wanted, and officially became the security order and feeling of the subordinate families of the Date family.
As soon as he walked out of the conference room, an attendant had been waiting there for a long time, and he knelt on the ground and whispered: "Your Highness, the person you invited has arrived. β
Zhengheng nodded and said coldly: "That's very good, lead the way!" β
The attendant bowed and said, "Hey! He walked and turned back with the road, in fact, where he was going, Zhengheng was also clear about the route, Doumu City was so big, there were no twists and turns, but leading the way as a gesture is essential.
As soon as he walked to the door of the side hall, Zhengheng's eyes fell on one of them, and he said softly, "Yoshioka Shimo, I have set up another banquet for you, let's go over there." β
A ruddy-faced, well-maintained middle-aged strong man, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his name is Yoshioka Shimoto Sosuke Masahide, he is exactly thirty-four years old, he was the second son of the previous head of the Yoshioka clan in Kishimoto Castle, and later when the current head of the family, Yoshioka Morihide, joined the Yoshioka clan, he spared his life and became the lord of Fukushiro Village.
Zhengheng sat on the main seat, looked at Yoshioka Masahide with a smile on his face, and ordered: "Today, Lord Xia Zongsuke wants to stay here for dinner, and quickly order people to respect some coarse tea and light rice!" β
The former Doumu Castle Lord Kira Dan Hou Shou is a samurai who can enjoy it, and there are still many female dependents in the city, but during the siege of the city, they were attacked by the mob, and many female dependents either died of undue death or humiliation, and committed suicide, and there were still some female dependents and maids who hid and were rescued by the Date army, if it weren't for Asakura Jingguo and Grainone Jingyun who were in a hurry to open the situation of Fujiki City, maybe few of these women and maids would not have survived intact until now.
The coarse tea and light rice sent by the maid is really coarse tea and light rice, two servings of soaking rice and two plates of sauerkraut.
Yoshioka Masahide looked at the food in front of him, his eyes unconsciously showed an angry gaze, he didn't expect that his old relatives of the Yoshioka family, although their reputation was not as good as before, and the status of the family was also in jeopardy, but he was treated like this, how could he not make him feel angry, when he visited other powerful people in the past, it was not the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but it was also delicious wine and food.
Zheng Heng drank the soaked rice with relish, sandwiched the sauerkraut, and said: "Coarse tea and light rice, don't be surprised by the general manager!" β
Yoshioka Masahide looked at Masahiro and ate the pig food that he thought only pigs would eat, his eyes were full of surprise and doubt, and he remembered his father for no reason, when he was a child, he listened to his father talk about the ancestors who opened up the family business, and this is how they created the Yoshioka clan and sat firmly in the position of Yechi Township under the eyes of the powerful all around, and built Kishimoto Castle, if it weren't for the ancestors who died young, they might still be able to unify Yechi Township, Later, none of the children and grandchildren were able to put down their bodies and go to live that hard-working life again, even if the father who understood this, it was because of the flashy luxury that the Xicheng Gong clan took advantage of the loophole and took away the foundation of the city.
Yoshioka Masahide saw that Date Masahiro, who had created countless miracles at a young age, was so hard-working, and his heart twitched for no reason, and he trembled and picked up the bowl of soaked rice that could count the amount of rice with both hands, and approached his mouth, and a bad smell of overnight rice came to his nose.
Yoshioka Masahide had another stomach gas, seeing that Masahiro was still drinking soaking rice with relish, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and finally endured the bad feeling brought by soaking rice, and drank it with breath.
Zhengheng smiled and secretly looked at Yoshioka Masahide's movements while drinking the rice, in fact, he couldn't stand the smell of overnight rice, but more than ten years of coarse tea and light rice made him understand a truth, now is not the time to enjoy, he can also fiddle with good wine and food, after all, Fujiki Castle is now in his hands, and the wealth accumulated by Kira Tsuneki Mamoru for more than ten years is stored in Fujiki Castle, which is enough for him to hold it well. But that wasn't his intention, he just wanted to see if Masahide Yoshioka had the ambition to be his companion.
If it is possible to become his companion, Zhengheng does not mind giving the Xicheng Gong clan a deep lesson before quitting Yechi Township again. If not, Zhengheng has nothing to lose, at most the plan to teach the Xicheng Gong clan a lesson will be postponed for a while. Now when Masahiro saw Yoshioka Masahide holding back and drank it, he understood the possibility of becoming a companion, he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and after a while, seeing Yoshioka Masahide finish drinking the rice in the bowl, he asked with a smile: "Lord Shimo, I don't know if you need it?" β
Yoshioka Masahide was already his limit to be able to drink a bowl of soaking rice that was a little rancid, and he would never dare to drink it again, so he immediately said: "Thank you for Itahou's hospitality, I'm already full." β
When Masahiro heard the title of Itahou, he suddenly had the idea of wanting to get an official position immediately, although his father had the common title of Mamoru Enoe, and his brother also inherited this common title, but by his generation, he had not received an official position in any sense, and he did not want a false name, so his common name was generally called Tojiro. However, who else dares to call him Tojiro to his face on the ground of Tetsuta-gun and Aga-gun, even Noyama Masatomo and Nikaido Nobuhiro, who used to be old-timers, changed their names after Masahiro defeated Shinmi Sadatsune and became the only overlord of Aga-gun.
Zhengheng touched his chin, and said in his heart: "After a while, whether to send some silver to the gang of moths in Kyoto to come back with a better-sounding official position, forget it, although the economic conditions of the Date family are much better than before, but there is no reason to waste it, well, is it to add an official position to yourself, anyway, many people do this, otherwise I will claim to be an intermediary, this is a good way." He shook his head to remove these unrealistic contents from his head, then nodded his head slightly apologetically, instructed the maid to remove the food, and said, "I heard that Lord Shimosuke came to discuss the ownership of Nochi Township with my family on behalf of Yoshioka Morihide, I don't know if you have any ideas?" β
Masahiro's questioning surprised him slightly, and also made him feel a heat in his heart, Yoshioka Masahide replied softly: "Yoshioka Hall returned to Kishimoto Castle from the Yawu key mountain castle at noon today, so I asked the foreign minister to come and ask about the ownership of Hatsuki Village in Nochi Township, and asked Date Hou to forgive me. β
Zhengheng said "oh" to express his puzzled look, touched the cover of his glasses, and thought that this should be Yoshioka Morihide, or it should be said to be a temptation of the Gong clan, to see how the Date family will respond, if you are soft, you can be pressed step by step, and if you are tough, you can make arrangements in time, what a good calculation! If it was a day ago, Zhengheng would really be soft in order to be able to get out as much as possible, but after a day later, he already knew about the entanglement within the Gong clan, he no longer had the idea of being soft, and suddenly had the idea of beating the Gong clan first and then talking about the follow-up.
The once powerful shrine palace clan has long been weakened, divided into the Xicheng Gong clan and the small slave Gong clan, both claiming to be the descendants of the Gong clan, and regard each other as traitors to the next gram. At the beginning, the power of the Xicheng Gong clan could not compare to the small slave Gong clan, so they took the lead in asking for help from the Aki Maori clan and received the support of the Maori Yuan, and suddenly swelled up, not only expanding their power from Dongcheng to Xicheng, but also defeating the little Nuke Gong clan who was close to the Yunnizi clan, and having the courage to quickly defeat the small Nuke Gong clan and reproduce the glory of the Gong clan.
If they become strong, the first thing to deal with is the Bigo Yamauchi clan, who has never dealt with him, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not continue to get involved in Nochi Township or even take the Kamidai River in TongguΓ² Yechi Township.
Especially in the face of the Date family's step-by-step pressure in the face of the Mimura family, which has received the support of the Maori family, will it be because it is also subordinate to the Maori family, will it be a knife in the back, which makes Zhengheng have to at least make the Xicheng Gong clan unable to withdraw before the conflict with the Mimura family.
Zhengheng thought for a while and said, "The problem of Hatagi Village is easy to say, but it is not clear whether this Hataki Castle is ultimately owned by the Miya clan or the Yoshioka clan?" β
