Great name!

Chapter 57: This city is not easy to handle!

Although he seems to have a bright future as a family elder and as a jodai of Hibatsu Castle, in fact, he is walking on thin ice for Nobutora.

Because Oda Nobunaga did not take away Nobutora's position as Natobu, Nobutora not only had to manage Natobu but also handle the affairs of Hibizuku.

Oda Nobunaga specifically told Nobutora: "Do you remember what you said? The crusade against Qingshu Palace requires a sense of justice. Now, I make you serve as the castle representative of Hibizu Castle because I want you to help me find the sense of justice for sending troops."

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Nobuhu's forehead. Good guy, from this tone, it would be terrible if he couldn't finish it.

But when the time came, he could only bite the bullet and agree.

Nobutora then left the residence hall with the reward and returned to the Tsuda mansion with his retainers.

Axia took Axiang and the slaves to welcome everyone home.

Xinhu sat on the main seat and said: "This time you followed me to the battle and made a lot of contributions. Yuan Sheng found the fleet and made great contributions. His salary was increased by fifteen guans to forty guans per year, and he was also rewarded with 20 guans. Guan, a piece of cloth!"

Yamazaki Haramori stood up excitedly, walked to the middle, sat down cross-legged, and saluted, "Ha! Thank you, Master, for the reward!"

"Xinchang, Dianshan, Lisheng, and Xinlong, the four of you will follow me to kill the enemy and perform the decapitation. Your salary will be increased by ten guan, and each of you will be rewarded with ten guan!"

The four of them went out together to thank Nobuhu.

Iitomi Nobumasa's annual salary was originally forty-five sen, but now it has been increased to fifty-five sen, Yamauchi brothers' annual salary was raised to 40 sen, and Mito Nobutaka's was 35 sen.

The total annual salary of the five retainers now reached 210 yuan.

However, Nobutora's salary is 300 kan, plus the 80 kan annual salary of Nato's head, he can receive 380 kan from Oda Nobunaga.

Although his salary is enough to pay his retainers, he still needs soldiers.

After all, he is Hibizu City Castle and the elder of the family, so he must have at least ten standing ashigaru and about a hundred miscellaneous soldiers.

Miscellaneous soldiers are only recruited during wartime. The ten standing ashigaru need to be supported all year round, and one standing ashigaru requires at least fifteen guan annual salary. Ten people are one hundred and fifty guan. After this calculation, the money is still not enough.

Fortunately, the bounty given to him by Oda Nobunaga was generous, enough for him to keep a constant supply of ashigaru.

Nobutora looked at all the retainers and said: "Everyone, the master of the family has ordered me to be the representative of Hibitsu Castle and responsible for the affairs of Qingzhou. Now I will arrange your tasks."

Everyone was shocked and immediately looked at Nobuhu above with concentration.

Even Axia, Axiang and Xinlong next to them straightened their backs.

Nobutora said with a serious face: "The head of the family not only appointed me as the castle representative, but I also concurrently serve as the Natobu servant. Nobumasa, when the time comes, you will temporarily serve as the envoy and send the Natobu servant's work to Hibitsu Castle. When I finish processing it, you can send it back."

"Ha! I understand!"

"Norizen, Risheng, and Nobutaka, the three of you are coming to Hibizuka Castle with me."

"Ha! I understand!"

"Haramori, go to the village and select ten elite soldiers to be my standing ashigaru, prepare weapons and armor for them, and bring them to Hibizu Castle."

"Ha! I understand!"

After finishing the task, Nobuhu said loudly: "Everyone, I will mobilize Qingzhou City this time. Once we win, it will be a pioneering achievement!"

He glanced at the excited retainers and said louder: "When the time comes, it won't be a problem to be granted the title of emperor, and you will all follow me and become prosperous. Do you understand?!"

"understand!"

The retainers' hearts were filled with excitement after hearing Nobutora's chicken blood. They were all gearing up, waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Early the next morning, Nobutora said goodbye to his family and went to the residence to inform Oda Nobunaga.

When he saw Oda Nobunaga, he asked directly: "Master, is there any way to contact the guardian hall?"

Oda Nobunaga directly refused: "This is what you should do yourself. Don't ask me, Nobutora, remember, I only want results."

Nobuhu bowed his head and saluted, then stood up and left.

He came outside the city and took the Yamauchi brothers and Mito Nobutaka to Hibizin Castle.

Hibatsu Castle was originally managed by Hirate Masahide. After Hirate Masahide's death, Oda Nobunaga did not touch it. This time, he arranged for Nobutora to take over Hibatsu Castle.

As soon as Nobutora arrived at Hibizu Castle, the original Jodai brought a group of samurai and ashigaru to greet Nobutora.

The jodai stepped forward and said: "Welcome Tsuda-sama, I will give you to Shimokinoshita Katsumasa. I would like to ask Tsuda-sama to review our Hibitsu Castle troops!"

"Kinoshita-sama!"

Hundreds of people chanted Kinoshita Katsumasa's name in unison, which was a show of authority. The Yamauchi brothers were furious and prepared to take action.

Nobutora raised his hand to stop the Yamauchi brothers. He got off his horse, picked up the iron cannon and loaded the ammunition.

Everyone else stopped and looked at Nobutora Tsuda.

Nobutora calmly said loudly: "My name is Tsuda Nobutora. I have made great achievements since the Battle of Akatsuka. After that, I took charge of the Iron Artillery Team. In the Battle of Xuanjin, I led 300 people of the Iron Artillery Team to defeat a thousand soldiers of the Cheongshu Army.

Just two days ago, I designed to break through the Muraki Village defended by the Imagawa Army and was able to become Hibiki Castle Dai.

It is an honor for me to lead Hibizuka City. I will not let down the expectations of the head of the family. I hope you will not make it difficult for me. "

"boom!"

He fired a shot into the sky.

This group of people trembled when they heard the sound of iron cannons, and their lost memories were recalled again.

"Tsuda-sama!"

Kinoshita Katsumasa watched the group of people change their slogans and knew that he was defeated. He bowed his head and saluted Nobutora and moved out of the way.

Nobutora swaggered into Hibiki Castle and officially took over the city. Kinoshita Katsumasa handed over to Nobutora honestly.

He handed over the roster, the military service account, the ledger, the keys to the warehouse, etc.

After Xinhu's calculation, nothing was missing.

Kinoshita Katsumasa sighed and said: "I have been promoted by Lord Masahide. I have worked hard for decades and never slacked off. Now that Lord Masahide has passed away, I have reached the end of my life as a castle. It is time to retire.

Mr. Tsuda, Mr. Masahide has devoted his whole life to the Oda family. I hope that you will cherish Mr. Masahide's hard work. Please! "

Nobutora nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, the Oda family will become stronger and stronger!"

Kinoshita Katsumasa immediately left Hibiki Castle, and then he became a monk and lived in seclusion, handing over the title of head of the family to his son.

……

"Lord Guardian, something serious has happened!"

Shinsuke Sakai ran into the small courtyard yelling.

Nobuto Oda was discussing matters with his elder Sakai Daizen.

Hearing how flustered Sakai Jinsuke was, he said angrily: "Jinjie, you are so flustered, how can you behave like this!"

"I'm so sorry, Lord Guardian!"

Shinsuke Sakai quickly bowed and apologized.

"Come on, what made you lose your temper?"

Oda Nobuyou asked in a softened tone.

Shinsuke Sakai hurriedly said: "Sir, the guardian of the city, Hibizucheng has been replaced!"

"Huh? I thought it was something. He, Oda Nobunaga, can change whoever he likes. Why are you making such a fuss!"

Oda Nobuyou was speechless.

Sakai Jinsuke said anxiously: "New Castle Dai is Tsuda Nobutora!"

"Uh!"

Oda Nobuyoshi seemed to have his neck suddenly strangled and was speechless.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

This time I almost choked myself.

"Nobutora Tsuda! How could it be him?"

It's over, Qingzhou City is in danger!
