Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 59 The Monkey Oaths

With the arrival of March in the tenth year of Tensho, Hideyoshi Hashiba, the chief general of the Xiguo Army of Oda Nobunaga, started the general meeting of the army to fight against Maori in Ukita's base city, Okayama.

The samurai of Yu Chai and U Kita were all sitting in the evaluation room wearing armor, looking solemn.Yu Xiduo specially placed a marching horse in the assessment room, so that the warriors wearing armor could sit down.

The monkey finally brought two young warriors in their teens into the evaluation room. The one on the left was slightly older, about 16 or 7 years old, and the one on the right was younger, only 12 or 3 years old.

The monkey sits on the main seat in the middle of the imperial steps, and two young warriors sit on either side of the monkey.After the three sat down, the warriors under the imperial steps took their seats one after another.

"Everyone, my lord has already achieved good results on the battlefield of the Takeda Army in the east. We must go forward bravely and strive for merit. My lord has always been generous with rewards. I think that after this battle, many city lords and great leaders will be born." The monkey encouraged the warriors before the battle.

At this time, there were very few retainers under the direct control of the monkey, and most of them were Nobunaga's retainers, who, like the Xiu family, were assigned to the monkey for use.

Although Houzi is nominally the commander of the 60 koku of the three kingdoms of Harima, Tajima, and Inaba at this time, in fact, his own territory is only 20 koku of the Harima country, and he has not fully commanded the entire territory of Harima.

For example, Hideyoshi's younger brother Hidecho is actually Nobunaga's retainer. After the Tajima Raiders, Hidecho was rewarded by Nobunaga with 6.5 shi of Tajima's corner, as the guardian of Tajima.

Facing Hideyoshi's official appointment and wish, all the samurai who were doing it were all excited.My brother excitedly fought for the position of pioneer.

"My lord, please give me the vanguard." Hachisuka Masakatsu, the first hero of the monkey's subordinate, said excitedly, "I will definitely win China for the lord!" He is a retainer, but he is attached to Hideyoshi to fight under Hideyoshi's tent all the year round, and gradually the title of Hideyoshi has changed from an adult to a lord.

"Your Highness Harima, Hachisuka-sama is not needed for the vanguard, just leave it to us Yuki Duoju!" The one who spoke was Masayuki Yukido, the only old woman who was still in the palace at this time.

At this time, due to Tadaka's retirement, Togawa Hideyasu, and Oka Toshikatsu also had to stay in Xinling to deal with matters due to transfer of title, so the three of them were not in Okayama. .

"Brother, leave it to me! I will definitely win the battle." Even Hashiba Hide-chan, who has always been refined, decided to fight for this pioneer position.

Hideyoshi looked at the people in the hall with high morale, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I have seen your loyalty, but I have already made a decision in my heart to be the vanguard of this battle."

"Who is it? Who did the lord choose to be the vanguard? If it's an ordinary person, I, Xiaoliu, will never be convinced." Hachisuhe Zhengsheng heard that the monkey had already made a decision, so he still chose to struggle and said.

The monkey stood up with a smile on his face, walked to his right side, and stroked the back of the 16- and 7-year-old young warrior on the right side.The two stood up together and said, "I have decided that my son Xiusheng will be the general of China. Xiuchang, you, as the deputy general, will help you take care of it. This is Xiusheng's first battle."

"Ha Yi, please leave it to me, I will take good care of Xiusheng." Although Xiusheng is the vanguard general in name, but as the actual commander of the army, the vanguard position is finally in the hands of Xiuchang.

In fact, this matter is easy to understand. A capable outsider and a capable brother from the same family, who would you choose to promote as the company leader?Under the same ability, most people will choose relatives.

Hashiba Hidekatsu, who was promoted by Hideyoshi as the vanguard general, is the fourth son of Oda Nobunaga. Because the monkey has no children, he asked the lord Nobunaga to adopt a son.And it was also because of this wonderful move that Nobunaga believed that the monkey's territory would belong to his own son after a hundred years, so he had great trust in the monkey.

Everyone saw that Hideyoshi launched Hideyoshi as a vanguard general, as Nobunaga's son, Hideyoshi's adopted son, and currently the only designated heir, Hideyoshi's status in Hashiba's family is extremely high.

Hachisuka Masakatsu saw that Hideyoshi pushed Hideo out, so he stopped making further arguments and chose to accept it.

Seeing that everyone accepted Xiu Sheng's decision to be the vanguard general, Hideyoshi nodded silently, and turned around to motion for Xiu's family to come over.

Hideyoshi was actually a little confused, he always thought that he would be the background board for this battle, but he didn't expect Hideyoshi to take the initiative to call himself to the foreground.

"My son Xiu's family is amazing. Last month, he repelled Yoshikawa Motoharu's attack with his own power. Now my son Hidekatsu will face another Kobayakawa Takakage from Mori Ryogawa.

The two of them are like the two rivers of Mori, the two tigers of my Hashiba family.Now that Xiusheng is serving as the vanguard of Sanyodo, my good son Xiujia can't be idle either.I think it's the strategy of Ukita Army Debt Mountain **.One left and one right are like river crabs, and the two crab claws hold the Mori family at the same time! "

When Hideyoshi said that he was excited, he hugged the two sons tightly.In fact, Hideyoshi in history was an extremely formalist, often doing things that imitated the famous deeds of his predecessors.

The most intuitive thing is that in order to get close to the relationship between Katsuya Shibata and Nagahide Niwa, he gave himself an extremely tongue-twisting expression in Japanese called Hashiba.

This is all because Hideyoshi was born as a real farmer. Lacking self-confidence, he needs to constantly use various methods to put gold on his face and raise his identity.

Now that Hideyoshi has come up with Yuchai Shuanghu again, in the eyes of Hideyoshi, it seems as naive as a young and Dangerous boy in Causeway Bay.

Clumsy or not, Hideyoshi's impassioned speech was echoed by the samurai in the hall.Whether it was the Hashiba family samurai or the Uki family samurai, the morale was high.

After completing the pre-army mobilization, Hideyoshi sat in Okayama, and Hashiba Hidekatsu and Hashiba Hidecho 5000 people were stationed in Takakura Castle as the vanguard of the left army, ready to march into Beichu.

Hideka is heading to Takata, Misaku again with the assembled 1.2 Ukita army.

Due to Ukita Tadae's retirement, one of Ukita's main forces, the Toyama Clan, was led by the interpreter and accompanied him into battle.

Xiujia chose to go back to the inner hall before going out to bid farewell to Tongfangyuan.The main purpose of Xiujia's visit here is actually to remind the stepmother of the Disciplinary Committee and Qing Ji in the backyard to be careful.

After all, Okayama Honmaru lived in a pervert like a monkey, and the Hide family had already sent out his mother, so we can't let Ukita Nao's harem all become monkey's ejaculation grounds!
Especially there is Qing Ji, a cute little girl. You must know that Monkey later married the youngest daughter of his good brother Maeda Toshiya, and also married the daughter of Shi Ji, Adian, to enrich the harem.

For such a cute Xiaobaicai Xiujia as Qingji, she was completely worried.

After the farewell, Xiujia was preparing to leave and return to his house for a temporary rest.But I saw Xiaobaicai running from behind, and her red face stuffed an embroidered bag for the Xiu family.

"This is the blessing I prayed for when I went to Guangzhen Temple a few days ago to pray for your safe return. Take it with you, and you must come back safely." Qing Ji murmured in that small voice.

Xiujia took the embroidered bag sealed with Ping Anfu and smelled it in front of his nose, ah~ it was that smell again~ couldn't help but said "it smells so good"

Looking at the appearance of Xiu's family, Qing Ji stared in embarrassment, "Why are you acting like this, you are not upright at all, hmph, I will ignore you."

Seeing that the beauty was angry, the Xiu family pulled Qing Ji who was about to leave and whispered in her ear, "As a woman of the Wu family, would you like to come and see the battlefield with me?"

Xiujia also put forward this suggestion on a temporary basis, firstly because he really likes this little cabbage in his heart, and wishes to be together all the time.

Secondly, Houzi stays in Honmaru in Okayama, and Houzi can't hate Xiaobaicai against anyone. The Xiu family really hopes to take Xiaobaicai away from this place, so that the monkey will not be seen by the monkey.

Listening to Xiu's suggestion, Qing Ji said in surprise, "Really?" Her eyes were full of expectations, but she was stopped by the old woman who brought her from Kyoto with a cough hint.

Qing Ji calmed down her emotions and said, "It's better not to go, a public woman should look like a public woman. I wish your highness good fortune."

Xiujia obviously saw Qing Ji's eyes, since the deity is willing, it is even more impossible for Xiujia to let Xiaobaicai go "Don't forget, you are a woman from my Ukita Hideka, if you come to my Ukita family, if you don't even have a knife If you can't mention it, how can you control your retainers?"

"That's the deal, Liu Zhisuke, find a well-fitting suit for Her Highness Qing Ji, and find a good horse, and take her to the barracks below the city to find me."

After all, Xiujia turned around and left like a domineering president.The female envoy who heard the Xiu family's order kept calling the Xiu family from behind, "The main hall! The main hall! His Highness Qing Ji can't go! This is against the rules!"

Seeing that the Xiu family did not hold a regular meeting, they came to persuade Qing Ji, "Your Highness, you should be more clear-headed. This matter must not be done!"

But in the face of Qing Ji, whose face and eyes are all small stars at this time, the words of the female envoy are completely useless. Qing Ji took the initiative to follow Suga Masari, and the female envoys who wanted to follow and stop were stopped by the servants of the Xiu family .

The female envoy had no choice but to turn around and leave, and complained to Tongfangyuan, which was in charge of Xiujia's inner hall, hoping that Tongfangyuan would come forward to stop this rude behavior.
