When he walked out of the bedroom, Hattori Hanzo, who had been ordered to come, was waiting by the side with a respectful face, and when he saw Zhengheng coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "My lord." With the elevation of Zhengheng's status, the people around him became more and more respectful and humble to him, and did not dare to be disobedient.

Seeing Hattori Hanzo coming, Zhengheng frowned and asked, "How did I do with what I told you?" ”

Hattori Hanzo cautiously replied: "Go back to the lord, it's done, this is a book that records the relationship network between them, and I invite the lord to observe." As he spoke, he took out a pamphlet from his belt and handed it to the attendant officer Kuroda Kanbei.

Zheng Heng flipped through casually and asked with a grim face: "Very good, what about those who opposed Kaesong in the coup d'état in the prefecture?" ”

Hattori Hanzo responded: "Those people are already secretly watching, and they can be eliminated at any time?!" ”

Zheng Heng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to get rid of it now, observe it for a year or two, if you have a grudge, you will die of a violent illness, and you will be in charge of this matter." "Otomo Yoshizhen died of grief, Nado Kanki and Lady Nado joined some of the retainers to take the initiative to join the Date family, naturally another part of the people disagreed, the two sides fought for each other in the Funai Castle, and finally ended in the victory of the former when the main force of the Shikoku Army led by Noyama Masaki arrived at the Funachi Castle, although the latter was forcibly subdued, but he was resentful.

After learning that Fuuchi Castle was opened, Masahiro ordered Hattori Hanzo to investigate the relationship between the Otomo family's lineage, branches, and retainers, and to secretly monitor those who disobeyed the coup d'état in Funai, but now is not the time to eliminate them. Otherwise, it will be unfavorable to the unstable situation, but this does not mean that he will let them go, and after a year or two, if the object of focus is still not satisfied, a targeted elimination operation will be implemented.

Hattori Hanzo paused for a moment and said again: "My lord, on the way here, I found out a piece of information, the leader of the Hirado Matsuura Party, Matsuura Takanobu, sent his eldest son and the old cage of the pen family, Tian Yasukei, to lead thousands of troops and hundreds of large and small ships out of the port. ”

There was a hint of doubt in Masahiro's eyes, although Chief Katayama had already come to the mansion, and the army he led was temporarily outside the port of Hirado, but Matsuura Takanobu's actions now were really unexpected by him, and he didn't know what the mystery was? "Do you know where they are?" ”

Hattori Hanzo shook his head and said, "The minister has already sent the earth spider deep into Hirado to find out the information, but today Namatsunura Takanshin will definitely rush to the mansion?" ”

Zhengheng bowed slightly, waved his hand, and asked Hattori Hanzo to retreat first.

Matsuura Takanobu's unexpected action made Zhengheng fall into contemplation, you must know that Matsuura Takanobu had handed over the demotion table not long ago, and he himself had also arrived in Funai City, but why did he still act secretly from himself, isn't this death?

Hattori Hanzo's meaning, Zhengheng naturally knows that this matter must be a secret matter, and the spy personnel need to pay a lot of money if they want to find out the truth, and it will cost a lot of time and manpower, so it is better to directly question Matsuura Takannobu.

Kuroda Kanbei came to Zhengheng's side and whispered to Zhengheng, "My lord, it's time for the meeting to begin." ”

Zhengheng bowed slightly, and then walked towards the outer city.

When he came to the large conference room, all the retainers and subordinates were already waiting here, looking at the people kneeling below, Zheng Heng's heart was still excited, whether it was true or false, no matter how famous you were, in the end you had to kneel in front of him and tremble.

As early as before leaving Ogura Castle, Masahiro had already ordered his subordinates Noyama Masato, Ishikawa Hisataka, Miyahara Masashiro, and Akagi Takao to investigate the merits of each retainer in Date over the years, so as to reward them for their meritorious deeds. Zhengheng is the leader of entrepreneurship, they are the staff, but also the right-hand man. Whether or not we can build the peaceful and prosperous era that the people are looking forward to, whether the merit is appropriate or not will play a pivotal role.

The speed of the Date family's rise was unprecedented, and the violence of the Date family was also unprecedented, and almost all the forces that were enemies with it were mostly eradicated, and even if they left their bloodlines, they were only scattered and scattered, and all the land wealth they had seized fell into the hands of the Date family.

As a result, the amount of land that the Date family was able to distribute was unprecedented, and the Kamakura and Muromachi methods that relied on external methods to maintain the shogunate were of no use to the Date family, and even the Edo shogunate in the memory of Masaki did not have much to learn from.

According to the meaning of Zhengheng, thirty percent of the land in the world will be used as the heavenly domain, that is to say, it will directly belong to the Date family, forty percent of the land will be divided into branches, ordinary retainers, and the remaining thirty percent will be external samples, temples, imperial courts, etc., and the latter will be scattered and monitored nearby.

As the founder of the times, he must not be a little lax because of the initial decision of the world, and those who once dominated the world are excellent examples. The hardships of troubled times have fostered the warlike habits of the world, and people resort to force at every turn. Needless to say, this habit still lingers in the hearts of the world.

As far as Kyushu is concerned, the political balance is very clear, and there are only two urgent tasks in front of him, one is government affairs, and the other is military affairs, the government affairs are to register the number of households in Kyushu, and a systematic inventory of the human and financial resources of the areas directly under the jurisdiction of Kyushu, and the military affairs is to carry out a comprehensive reorganization of the remnants of the forces such as Otomo, Ryuzoji, and Shaoji.

In this meeting, the first priority is to send trusted retainers to those scattered areas to regroup, and bring them under the command of the Date family, you know, for the Date family, the 200,000 army cannot leave Kyushu forever to deter, these remnants are definitely a big hidden danger, and at present, these forces, even with those obedient forces, such as Ouchi, Akizuki, Shimazu and other forces, will not be as honest as they are now.

Therefore, these hidden dangers must be solved as soon as possible. Otherwise, as time goes by, once the power of the Date family falls into a trough, these forces are likely to take the wind and make waves from it, and then the Date family will be in internal and external difficulties, and the situation will be quite passive.

As Zhengheng sat down, he looked at Takanobu Matsuura in the back three rows and asked, "Has Takanobu Matsuura arrived?" ”

At the beginning of the meeting, Masahiro asked Matsuura Takanobu, which made everyone discuss, and those external feudal lords were quite jealous, only Shimazu Takahisa, who was not far from Matsuura Takanobu's seat, frowned slightly, observing the expressions of Masahiro and Matsuura Takanobu.

Zhengheng looked directly at Matsuura Takanobu, who got up to greet him, and asked, "Matsuura Takanobu, I heard that Cage Teda Anjing is a famous minister in Hirado, I don't know if you are the same?" ”
