As for why he, Ashikaga Yoshito, handed over Echichu and Noto to Yoshicho's order, that is what he said casually, anyway, those places are not closed by his shogunate, so they should be handed over to Yoshicho to deal with.

He had already seen the loyalty of the anti-justice chief to the shogunate, so he was relieved to write a blank check.

Although Yoshinaga knew that the reward that Ashikaga Yoshito said was a blank check, for him, Ashikaga Yoshito gave him the name to meddle in the affairs of the territory of the four countries.

If the guardians of the four kingdoms don't listen to him, he can get the shogunate to intervene and change the guardians.

It can be said that Yoshicho hung a sword over the head of the guardian of the four countries.

And these four countries can be said to be extremely weak, Mikawa is currently in the hands of the Imagawa family, this time Imagawa troops Mikawa has already offended Yoshinaga, and if he doesn't get Imagawa, in the future, Imagawa will be a strong opponent of his Yoshinaga.

In particular, there is Kai Takeda recuperating above the Imagawa family, and Takeda Harunobu may backstab him at any time.

In addition to Mikawa, Owari Oda is divided, Oda Nobunaga is weak, as long as his army arrives and supports Spo Yoshito, Owari can be pacified in a moment,

The two major forces of Vietnam and China, the Jimboo family and the Shiina family, also have no strong enemies.

As for Notokoku, the Guardian Tian (Hatake) Mountain family is currently fighting against the retainers, and their strength is not very good, so it can be said that Yoshicho can digest these four realms as long as it takes time.

However, the Imagawa family will definitely not sit back and watch Yoshicho sit on the big one.

After Yoshinaga received a reward from Shogun Ashikaga Yoshito at Nijo Castle, he led the Shinano and Mino groups to withdraw their troops, and the matter of Gyeonggi was handed over to the Rokkaku family and Hosokawa Harumoto.

Yoshicho didn't want to care about Gyeonggi for the time being, if it weren't for Uesugi Masato, he wouldn't bother to care, and he could see that Hosokawa Harumoto didn't like him to stay in Gyeonggi.

After all, Hosokawa Harumoto used to be the leader of real power and was in charge of Gyeonggi's affairs, but now his strength is not as good as Yoshinaga, so Yoshicho stays in Kyoto, and when the time comes, how will he get along between Hosokawa Harumoto and Yoshicho?

Therefore, Yoshicho led the army out of Nijo Castle very decisively, and as for what happened behind the shogunate, it had nothing to do with him.

After Yoshinaga left Kyoto, Ashikaga Yoshito handed over the post of guardian of Yamashiro Province to Mibuchi Fujiei, who originally wanted Akechi Mitsuhide to help Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but now he can only stay and help himself.

As for Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he left Nijo Castle with Yoshinaga, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki still needs to run back to Izu to stabilize the situation, who knows what those former Hojo ministers are thinking?

As for Uesugi Masatora, under the persuasion of Usami Dingmi, he was withdrawing his troops from Echigo, and when Yoshinaga returned to Inabayama Castle, Uesugi Masatora had already left Shinano and returned to Echigo.

In the Ohiro room on the first floor of the Inabayama Castle Castle Castle Tower, Yoshinaga held an evaluation meeting with all his retainers.

Yoshicho raised his fan to stop the discussion of the retainers, and he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the matter in Shangluo is over, there is no big expedition for the time being this year, and today we will talk about some arrangements for Mino. ”

Because Sanada Yutaka was not by his side, Yoshicho had no choice but to say to himself: "There are some policies in Shinano's own family, which Mino does not have, and these need to be added, the first thing is to inspect the land, and all the excess land must be handed over, but there are private collectors, and heavy fines will not be spared." ”

When Isshiki Yoshilong and the others heard the news, their faces changed, but they quickly regained their previous happy expressions, but there were also some retainers who were talking nonsense.

Yoshicho waved his fan and hit it on the tatami mat: "Is there anyone against it?" You can bring it up now! ”

Those Mino people who were still talking were startled by Yoshicho's expression and obediently closed their mouths.

Yichang eased his expression and said, "I will remember the land that has been collected, as long as you make a meritorious service, my family will return it to you." ”

When Yoshicho said this, the hearts of the Minong people were much better.

Later, Yoshinaga said several policies, the first of which was to build roads, a total of four roads, one of which ran from east to west, so that the road from Shinano and Mino to Omi would be unblocked.

The second is the road from Mino to Owari, which makes the road from Mino to the upper four counties of Owari a little faster, and then let Spo Yoshito build the road in the upper four counties, and Oda Nobunaga to build the road in the lower four counties, which are connected together.

The third road is the road from Mino to Hida Province, which is built from Gujo County and runs all the way through Hida Province to Echichu.

The fourth road is from Mino to Mikawa.

The four roads are very large, and Yoshicho did not want to repair the roads in a short time, but it was possible to divide the time and repair some of the roads.

After talking about the four roads, it is time to repair the castle, and this castle is the Sumamata Castle, which is said to be a castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi overnight, on the bank of the Nagara River.

The castle is only dilapidated, but there are still ruins, and Yoshicho plans to build a military fortress in Sumamata Castle and send troops to garrison it.

After all, Oda Nobunaga's ability cannot be underestimated, how can he not do something defensive?

After talking about the repair of the city, there was nothing big about it next, and as for the establishment of a standing station, Yoshichang didn't want to talk to these people.

Mino has 540,000 stones, and there are about 200,000 in the territory that belongs to him, which is guarded by Minong, and when the time comes, some can be collected from the land, and according to the stone height directly under him, he can probably recruit 8,000 standing ashigaru.

However, his 8,000 troops can't all be ashigaru, and they must also engage in flag samurai, so Yoshicho roughly estimates that there are 5,000 standing ashigaru and 500 flag samurai.

The 5,000 standing ashigaru had 500 cavalry, and the banner samurai had a cavalry force of 100 people.

Including Shinano's horse corps, the cavalry under Yoshinaga was expected to have more than 1,000 men.

Yoshinaga didn't plan to reply to Shinano.,Shinano's affairs he handed over to Kotaka to deal with.,After dealing with it.,Those things are all summarized in seven days.,Sent by the envoy to Yoshicho to check.。

In fact, Yoshicho arranged for Iizuna Nobugen to monitor the country, so as not to leave the country for too long and some traitors appear.

Yoshinaga planned to stay in Mino for a while, but the army of his retainers was all disbanded, and only Ryu Iwasita, Tadashi Uehara, Nobuta Sanada, Yasuei Shimizu and others remained in the Shinano congregation, and the rest returned to Shinano.

The first batch to be repaired was mainly the road in Mino, the two roads to be built in Nishimino were handed over to Isshiki Yoshiryu and Inaba Ryotsu, the road from Gujo-gun to Hida Province was handed over to the Endo family to supervise, and the road from Mino to Shinano Kiso Valley was handed over to Shigenaka Shigemoto to build.

The reason why Yoshicho reused Takenaka Shigegen was mainly because of his son Takenaka Shigeji, who was known as the military advisor of the Sengoku Ryobei.

The current Shigeharu Takenaka is only nine years old, but he is now reading military books, and in terms of appearance, he is very beautiful.

When Yoshicho arranged for Shigegen Takenaka to run errands, he said, "I heard that your son Hanbei is a very smart boy who is familiar with military books, and such a child will be the pillar of the family in the future.

If you go back, let the half-guards come to me as a small surname, and you can be a close attendant in the future, I am very optimistic about his future. ”

If Takenaka Shigegen hadn't known that Yoshicho was lustful, even the little girl of the Oda family who was a few years old would have to marry him as a side room, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to send his son to Yoshicho's side.

At this time, some daimyo also liked men, such as Takeda Harunobu and Baba Nobubo, Kasuga Toranotsuna's peach-colored experience was widely spread, and there were also rumors that Uesugi Masatoshi liked men.

Of course, if it weren't for Yoshicho's reputation as a womanous woman, the outside would think that Yoshicho and Uesugi Masahu might have something to do.

Yoshicho didn't know that his lustful reputation was on the outside, so he just looked at Shigegen Takenaka with a smile on his face.

Takenaka Shigegen hurriedly paused and said: "The dog can get the favor of the lord, that is really his blessing, and the subordinates immediately go back and send the dog here." ”

Shigemoto Takenaka returned to his home hall castle on the same day.

As soon as he got home, his wife welcomed him home with several children.

His wife said softly: "Husband has worked hard, welcome home." ”

Shigegen Takenaka smiled: "Hehehe, it's not very hard, this time I used to watch a play all the way in the past." ”

The half-guard of Takenaka below was very excited, but he could control his expression well and said, "Father, can you tell me about your Shangluo?" ”

Shigegen Takenaka said with a smile: "Of course you can, this time Shangluo, it is also an eye-opener for the father, and the lord's subordinates can break the collapse of the wooden city at once, oops, that's really an eye-opener."

When attacking Akutagawa Castle, the other side also had a national collapse, and that shot hit the phalanx of Ashigaru, which was a casualty of more than a dozen people, which was too powerful. ”

Takenaka Hanbei is a child after all, and when he heard Takenaka Shigegen talk about the power of artillery, his eyes widened, and he said with some regret: "It's a pity that it takes a long time for a child to see it." ”

Shigemoto Takenaka smiled and said: "Half-soldier, you didn't expect this, the lord learned that you love to read military books, and knew that you are a talented person, so he decided to let you be his little surname."

Hanbei, this is the lord's plan to cultivate you, our Takenaka family is going to prosper in your hands! ”

Takenaka Hanbei's eyes lit up and said, "Father, is that His Royal Highness known as Oni Shinano?" ”

Shigegen Takenaka nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, Ghost Shinano, this time to attack Akutagawa Castle, the lord personally led three thousand people to break through Akutagawa Castle, kill the ghost ten rivers, and force the Miyoshi family to negotiate peace, oh, what a great man, Li Zheng Gong is still a little worse than the lord." ”

Takenaka Hanbei paused and said, "Father, the child is willing to go to His Highness, and it is an honor for the child to be able to serve such a hero." ”

The lady sitting next to Shigenaka said with some sorrow: "Isn't that going to Shinano?" Is the half-guard going that far away at such a young age? ”

Shigegen Takenaka waved his hand and said, "The lord will stay in Inabayama City for the time being, it looks like he will spend the New Year here, you don't have to worry." ”

Hanbei Takenaka hurriedly reassured his mother that he didn't have to worry about himself.

On the third day of Yoshinaga's return, Shigegen Takenaka returned to Inabayama Castle with Takenaka's half-guards and came to meet Yoshinaga.

Yoshicho received their father and son very warmly, and when he saw the legendary Takenaka Hanbei, he said happily, "This child is your son Hanbei?" ”

Shigemoto Takenaka nodded and said, "Yes, lord, this is the dog." ”

Yichang was very satisfied: "It's a good child, I was happy when I saw it, Chongyuan, your son is not in a hurry to marry for the time being, right?" ”

Although Shigegen Takenaka was a little puzzled, he still replied: "The dog is only nine years old this year, so there is no hurry for the time being. ”

Yoshicho nodded and said, "In this way, I have a daughter who is only two years old this year, if you are not in a hurry, just wait for my daughter to grow up and let the half-guard be my son-in-law." ”

Takenaka Shigeyuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The lord is serious, the dog can marry the princess, that is really the fate of the dog." ”

Yoshicho is also very happy, to be able to collect Takenaka Hanbei as his son-in-law, that is the big money, he smiled: "Then settle the matter first, and announce it on the same day, and the Hanbei will be my virtuous son-in-law in the future." ”

Takenaka Shigegen was afraid that Yoshicho would regret it, so he got the matter done that day, and he didn't ask Hanbei for any opinion, and then Mino knew that Takenaka Shigemoto's son had become the son-in-law of Lord Yoshinaga.

The rest of the seventeen generals of Nashimino looked at the eyes of Shigegen Takenaka, which was slowly envious and jealous.

Shigegen Takenaka raised his head and held his head high, feeling a little arrogant for a while.

Of course, it is not clear why the lord values Shigenoto Takenaka's son, but they are now considering whether to find one of their daughters and send it to Yoshinaga.

Of course, there are small forces in the country who send their daughters to the lord's house as maids, so that they can look forward to the day when the lord's guild will be blessed with his daughter, and if he gives birth to a child, then his status in the family will rise.

Yoshicho didn't know what his retainers were thinking, and now he was talking to Takenaka Hanbei about some things about the art of war, Takenaka Hanbei had memorized Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he was very fluent in the face of Yoshinaga's school examination.

Yoshicho was also about to have an in-depth exchange with the Takenaka Hanbei, when Iwasita Ryu walked in and said, "My lord, Katsu Naoki has returned, along with the two princesses of the Oda family. ”

When Yoshicho heard the news, he stopped talking to Takenaka Hanbei, and he asked Genjiro on the side to take Takenaka Hanbei down to rest.

Then Yuzu Katsunao walked in, followed by the Oda family's Inu and Aichi.

At this time, Ah Dog is mature, more than 20 years old, and he was originally going to marry Oda Nobukiyo, but now he has been cut off by Yoshinaga, and the other one is a well-behaved, cute and beautiful Ah Shi.

Of course, the current Ah Shi is still very young, and Yichang is not a master of copper smelting, of course, he still has to wait for Mayor Ah to speak.

Yoshicho looked at Inu and Aichi and said, "Now that you have entered my Ogasawara family, then you must devote yourself to your own family, and stop thinking about the Oda family, understand?" ”

Ah Dog bowed his head slightly and said yes, but Ah Shi asked rhetorically, "Why is this?" ”

Yoshicho glanced at Ah Shi with a smile and said, "When you grow up, you'll understand, come here, send them down to rest, Ah Dog is going to sleep tonight." ”
