On the second day, the Xinjin army camp.

During Japan's Sengoku period, the tea ceremony was not only a cultural act, but also an extremely important political tool. Great covenants and agreements between daimyo and daimyos, between daimyo and retainers, and between retainers and retainers were created in the tea room. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a man of the Momoyama period in Japan, was a man who attached great importance to the exchange of tea ceremonies. His tea head, Sen no Rikyu, once determined the course of Japanese history. Why does the small tea ceremony have such an influence? This is probably because most of the Japanese tea ceremonies are performed in tea rooms. The teahouse is a bucket room, very small, and can only accommodate two or three people. Being in the tea room can quickly deepen the connection or make it easier for the other party to be convinced. Now Shintsu Mitsukuni and Matsugami Yoshiyuki are in the tea room.

Shinjin Guangguo skillfully grinded a bowl of tea, didn't say anything, and slowly pushed the delicate tea bowl in front of Matsugami Yoshiyuki. Matsugami Yoshiyuki picked up the tea bowl with both hands, turned it around, and then drank it all and slowly put the tea bowl down. Shintsu Mitsukuni said with a smile after seeing Matsugami Yoshiyuki put down the tea bowl. "Bei Zhongshou defeated the Shenmu family in one fell swoop this time, and my reputation in Mu County is very shocking."

"Where is it, the young hall is too polite. The Xinjin family is the overlord of Yuanmu County, and my little Matsugami family can talk about any prestige. "Because Shinjin Guangguo did not get any official position, Matsugami Yoshiyuki was only commensurate with the Shaodian, but in the face of strength, the official position was just a false name. In the face of Shinjin Mitsukuni, Matsugami Yoshiyuki is still a little short of breath.

"Bekenaka Mamoru is too humble. I don't know, how is Beizhong Shou going to be outside the Shenmu family. Xinjin Guangguo suddenly changed his words and said.

"This, this Shenmu family has provoked my family many times, and this time it has invaded my family on a large scale. This time, the family wants to cut off the name of the Shenmu family with righteousness. I don't know what the young palace wants?" Matsugami Yoshiyuki said resignedly.

"It is true that the Matsugami family has great righteousness this time. However, the main family is related to the Shenmu family by marriage. The main hall wants to ask Beizhong Shou for personal favor to protect the Shenmu family, but I don't know if Beizhong Shou is willing to give this face to this temple. Xinjin Guangguo said meaningfully.

"This, this family, this family" Matsugami Yoshiyuki was a little overwhelmed. He didn't want to offend the Xinjin family, and he didn't want to lose the Shenmu family.

"What, is Beizhong Shou underestimating my Guangguo?" Seeing that Matsugami Yoshiyuki was a little hesitant, Shinjin Guangguo became cold and said.

"How dare you, how dare you." Matsugami said again in shock.

"Then I don't know what Bei Zhongshou thinks of the proposal to the main hall?" Shinjin Guangguo asked step by step.

"Shaodian, there is something to report." Just when Matsugami Yoshiyuki was at a loss, a reported small surname rescued him. I saw that the little surname walked quickly to Xinjin Guangguo's side with broken steps, squatted down, and whispered a few words in his ear. Shinjin Guangguo's face immediately changed drastically, but soon he looked the same as usual. Shinjin Guangguo paused, stood up and said. "The Matsugami family is really prosperous. That's all for today. After saying that, Shinjin Guangguo left.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki sat down on the ground after watching Shinjin Mitsukoku leave, and before he knew it, his back was soaked. ........

Matsugami Castle Assessment Room.

Since Shintsu Mitsukuni learned that Shenmu Castle had been captured by Matsugami Yoshimitsu overnight three days ago, he quickly returned to Shintsukan with the samurai of the Shintsu family. And after a few days of preparation, the Matsugami family finally ushered in the day of evaluation. At this time, the Matsugami family assessment room, Matsugami Yoshiyuki was the first to live uprightly. The retainers sat on both sides, and although they did not say much, everyone was elated, and everyone knew that the day of the reward had come.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki looked around and said slowly. "This family's ability to annihilate the Shenmu family in one fell swoop this time is all thanks to your merits, and today the main hall will personally announce the award of the certificate of appreciation."

"Haha." The retainers responded with a long voice.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki didn't make his retainers wait too long, and continued. "Long chain, let's announce the harvest of our family in this battle first."

"Yes, my lord. The family annihilated the Shenmu family in one fell swoop and gained a lot, and all the more than 6,000 stone territories of the Shenmu family were seized by the family. In addition, this time, the family seized a total of 20 knives and 200 bamboo guns. 200 silver small sentences, 300 Yongle coins. If the lord adds the original territory of the family, the family is now at the level of a small daimyo. ”

"In this way, the current height of this family is 11,000 stones, which is almost the same as the Xinjin family."

"After all, the Xinjin family is an old family. But the family is also very good now. Hearing that the family had such a rich harvest, the retainers of the Matsugami family talked about it for a while.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki raised his hand to signal his retainers to be quiet, and then said. "Now the main hall will issue a certificate of appreciation. The main hall decided to take back 500 stones from Matsugami Yoshimitsu Ryoki Village, and resealed 1,500 stones from Shenmu Castle. Ohno Heinobu was originally sealed with 500 stones. The long chain letter is sealed with 300 stone of Hirano Village. Koji Fujino sealed 50 stones. Ichiro Sajiro sealed 50 stones. ..........." After handing out the letters of emotion one by one, Matsugami Yoshiyuki continued. "I'll leave it to you from now on."

"The Matsugami family is prosperous." The retainers replied. ........

After the evaluation, Matsugami Yoshimitsu did not leave immediately, but was privately summoned by Matsugami Yoshiyuki.

"Yiguang Palace, 1,500 stones may not be enough to repay your merits to your family. In this way, the main hall will give you the princess of the Shenmu family as a side room. Matsugami Yoshiyuki said with some sincerity. That princess Matsugami Yoshimitsu has also seen a rare beauty. This move was also conducive to Matsugami Yoshimitsu's rule in the original domain of the Kamiki family, so Matsugami Yoshimitsu thanked the lord for his favor. During the Warring States period, it was not uncommon to kill enemies and then give their wives and daughters to their retainers or to themselves.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu returned to his residence with an indescribable feeling. I've finally become the lord of a city. Although the castle is small, although the stone height is a bit meager. But in troubled times, I finally have a foothold.

"The main hall has been given 1,500 stones to Shenmu City by the lord, and the main hall has finally become the lord of a city." Matsugami Yoshimitsu said happily to the retainers waiting in his residence.

"It's great that the family finally has a foothold. Congratulations, my lord. All the retainers were also excited.

"Today is a day of drunkenness, and tomorrow we will rush to Shenmu City." Matsugami Yoshimitsu continued.

"Haha." The retainers were even happier. .........

Early in the morning of the second day, Matsugami Yoshimitsu rushed to Shenmu Castle with a group of retainers. While passing through Ryoki Village, the former leader of Ryoki Village stopped him.

"Your Highness, are you going to abandon our Liangmu Village?" An old man said excitedly.

"The main hall has returned the original lordship, and it is no longer your lordship." Matsugami Yoshimitsu said with some heaviness.

"The villagers of Liangmu Village are stupid and don't know anything else. I only know that I can live a good life with His Highness. Liangmu Village is gone, please take us in. The old man said excitedly.

"Take us in." The villagers said in unison.

Matsugami had no way to refuse. After all, he is also responsible for the reduction of Ryoki Village to ashes. So he took the happy villagers to Shenmu City to start a new journey. ........
