Chapter 15: The Tragedy of the Mitogawa

Shenmu City Assessment Room.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu looked at Saigo Kanhisa, who was caught in his inner choice, and didn't say much, just kept looking at him with his eyes. After a while, Saigo Kanhisa seemed to have made his choice. He said solemnly.

"There is a way to solve the problems of the main public. But can the lord agree to the next request? ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu said with a smile when he saw that Saigo Kanhisa made a choice according to his own ideas. "Guan Jiu Gong but it doesn't hurt to say, this hall must meet Guan Jiu Gong's requirements as much as possible."

"How dare you, how dare you." Saigo Kanjiu first confessed his guilt and then continued. "I hope that after this matter is settled, the lord can forgive Princess Nana, and if possible, I also hope that the lord will let Princess Nana's son inherit the family name of the Shenmu family in the future. Please. After Saigo Kanhisa finished speaking, he bowed to Matsugami Yoshimitsu and gave a salute.

"Guan Jiugong is really a loyal and righteous man. Well, Hongden also believes that Nana is confused for a while. At this time, the temple pardoned him. Matsugami Yoshimitsu sighed at Saigo's loyalty and agreed to his request.

"Haha." Saigo Kanhisa bowed and said yes.

"Now Guan Jiugong can tell the palace your plan?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu continued.

"My lord, I, the Ise samurai, have always loved Xiangpu. The lord might as well let a very popular person hold a competition in Xiangpu. At that time, these restless people will surely participate. The lord can have a group of archers ambush them in the place where they are holding the sangpu conference, and in the middle of the meeting, order the archers to fire their arrows. Those people will have no weapons and nothing to cover them up, and the lord will definitely be able to sweep away the troubles of his henchmen. Saigo Kanhisa said with some heaviness.

"Guan Jiugong is really a person who has both civil and military skills! However, if it comes to prestige, only Guan Jiugong can complete this matter in this family. Matsugami said with a sigh. Not only did he want to use this incident to get rid of the resistance to pacify the territory, but he also wanted to cut off the bond between Saigo Kanhisa and the old retainers of the Shenmu family in one fell swoop.

Saigo Guanjiu had no other choice, so he had to bow down and accept his life. "Haha." ......

After Saigo left for a long time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu found the head of the Ashigaru group of his family, Yoshiki Nagamasa. "Changzheng, in a few days, the family will design to get rid of the old party of Shenmu. You contact Saigo Kanhisa when you get there, and he will tell you what to do. In addition, you must secretly supervise Saigo Kanhisa, and if he has any actions against the main hall, you will also remove him. Matsugami Yoshimitsu said to Yoshiki Nagamasa, who had come to his fate.

"Haha." Yoshiki Nagamasa took the order and left.

Three days later. A piece of news spread throughout the territory of Shenmu City, it turned out that Lord Dingding was going to hold a Xiangpu Conference on the edge of the Santu River today. This lord is a man of both civil and military skills, and he is very popular in the local area, and for a while, the samurai of the original god wood collar have gathered to respond and gather on the Santu River.

At this time, the two sides of the Santu River were extremely lively, but no one knew that there were more than a dozen archers ambushed here early in the morning, waiting for the opportunity to move. The meeting was held in a simple tent surrounded by white cloth. (If you can't imagine it, you can refer to the military tent of the samurai fighting in the Taiga drama.) )。 Since the crowd was almost naked at the time of the festival, mud was poured into the venue for the festival to protect it.

"Haha. Sunjiro, you're here too. One of the samurai said with a smile to the other.

"Koichiro, you're here, how can I not come to Sun Jiro? Anyway, a few days ago, Ono and they assassinated Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who is really a model for samurai.

Sun Jiro sighed to Koichiro. It's a pity that Ono and they failed. But this time, we happened to be together, and we could discuss assassinating Matsugami Yoshimitsu again. Together, we can succeed. Koichiro said regretfully.

Koichiro said yes. When the time comes, we will join forces and be sure to let Matsugami Yoshimitsu see the prestige of our Kamiki samurai. The surrounding samurai responded loudly after listening to Koichiro's words.

Soon Saigo Kanhisa announced the start of the sumo tournament, and the Kamiki samurai wore crotch cloths to engage in sumo duels in the mud. For a while, you come and go, and I don't have a lot of fun. However, no one noticed that Saigo Kanhisa had already left the venue. Yoshiki Nagamasa, who had already led the archers to ambush the place for a long time, immediately ordered the archers to release arrows. The Shenmu warriors were defenseless for a while, and they were only wearing a crotch cloth in the mud, and they were killed and injured in a short time. The Shenmu Collar was thus pacified.

The castle tower of Shenmu Castle.

"My lord, all the warriors of the Shenmu have been killed." After completing the task, Yoshimasa Rakki said happily to Yoshimitsu Matsukami.

"So, is there something unusual about Saigo Kanjiu?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu asked Ryoki Nagamasa blandly.

"Lord Qiqi, there is nothing abnormal about Lord Guanjiu." Yoshiki Nagamasa reports back to Yoshimitsu Matsugami.

"That's good, Changzheng, you go down first." Matsugami Yoshimitsu said lightly.

"Haha." Yoshiki Nagamasa said goodbye and left. After Yoshimasa Yoshiki left, Yoshimitsu Matsugami secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The big stone in his heart finally fell, and he understood that from this moment on, the territory of 1,500 stones in Shenmu City was finally completely in his hands. Maybe the main temple should make some changes. At this moment, Matsugami Yoshimitsu thought so in his heart.

The next day, Matsugami Yoshimitsu personally went to free Nana as he had promised, and declared that it was business as usual and re-established her as a side chamber. Nana seemed very grateful to him, which may or may not be true, Matsugami Yoshimitsu did not delve into it. In the troubled times of the Warring States, whether he wants to or not, he is likely to accept many daughters of enemies as side rooms. Maybe this is the helplessness of being in troubled times.

The following month, Matsugami Yoshimitsu began to visit the entire territory in preparation for future reforms. Since the remnants of the Shenmu family have been wiped out, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was able to fully understand the details of the 1,500-stone territory of Shenmu City. Matsugami Yoshimitsu's Kamiki Castle now has five villages under its jurisdiction and has about 3,000 people. Ise Province has a thriving fishing industry due to its proximity to the sea, but Kamiki Castle, which is led by Matsugami Yoshimitsu, is inland and does not benefit from salting. Fortunately, Ise Province is mostly plain, the land is fertile, and the people are still living a decent life. The tax system adopted in the Nagahei era of Shenmu was 6 gongs and 4 people, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu did not want to change the tax system, although many people adopted the 4 gongs and 6 people system from the beginning. However, this move will cause public anger, Bi Jing, everyone is 6 public 4 people, and even some are 8 public 2 people, don't you seem to be cruel to others? Second, if you don't accumulate strength, I'm afraid you will be attacked and destroyed too soon. ......

In this way, after a month of exploration, Matsugami Yoshimitsu finally had a more complete idea of his own governance strategy. In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu's winter evaluation is finally going to be held.
