Hirate gave himself and his retainers a five-day vacation to enjoy family fun and heal the wounds of war. During this period, everyone who wanted to come to the limelight was blocked back.

Chiyomaru's precocious maturity is gratifying, and Inu is motivated by this to gradually get out of his negative emotions and be able to look at the current situation calmly. The rest of the side rooms and young children don't need to care about politics for the time being, as long as they see that the sovereign is safe and sound, they don't need to worry about the rest.

Perhaps Hime Takeshi Ii Naotora was an exception, but she had just given birth to a baby, and her body was too weak to spare enough energy to take care of the side. This is the third time that Hirate has not had the opportunity to see his biological flesh and blood born, and he is a boy who came out more than 20 days later than the expected delivery date, but he has no health problems, but he tosses the pregnant mother enough.

It is customary for children to wait until their father returns to see him before choosing a name. After Hirate Hatsuhide returned to Awaji, he first went to the main room and stayed with his sister-in-law for two hours before coming to the delivery room. Seeing the mother and son, Wen Yan talked a few words, and the Ji warrior who was lying on the bed said, "Your Highness! This child was born in the troubled times of the sea, I don't know how many hardships he will go through, I don't expect him to make achievements like you, but I hope to be a man who stands up to the sky, no matter what happens, he will not lose his fighting spirit. ”

Her state of mind is obviously related to what happened to the Jing family.

"No matter what happens to you, you won't lose your fighting spirit......" Pingshou Fanxiu muttered to himself, repeated it twice, and made a decision: "In front of my father, my favorite among the hundred flowers is the winter plum that blooms alone in the wind and frost, isn't it just in response to your expectations for this child?" Let's take the name Umewakamaru. ”

"Umerumaru? Thank you, Your Highness, it's really a good name with both resilience and elegance......" Jing Yi Naotora couldn't say a few words, and fell into a deep sleep, it seemed that his body was seriously damaged.

Nine-year-old Ii Toramatsu sat on his knees not far away, looking at his aunt with concern, and Chiyomaru patted him on the shoulder and comforted him softly. Behind the two are also several peers such as Hirano Gonzo and Kato Sunji, which are "baby soldiers" specially arranged for their heirs.

By the way, the "inertia of history" seems to play a role here, the Ii family, a child raised by the Ji samurai, does show a calm and capable temperament of both civil and military resources (Ii Naomasa), and the heirs of the Hirano and Kato families are the top two of the strongest and most capable of fighting in the same batch of "second generation of martial arts", and throw the third place far away (Hirano Nagayasu, Kato Yoshiaki).

As a big warlord with an official body, nearly 10,000 troops, 200,000 stones, and an annual income of tens of thousands, the wife and concubine are still in the single digits, which is already quite modest. Rao is like this, and he only has time to ask the family members roughly once in five days.

The most important thing is, of course, the main room and the sister-in-law.

The corners of the zygote's eyes gradually wrinkled, and the eleven-year-old Yukichiyo was already slim and began to secretly care about her fiancé Sasamatsu Chiyomaru; Five-year-old Yakshamaru is still ignorant and can't go to school, and he is not as precocious as his brother and sister; Shura Pill, who is almost one year old, is basically the same mold as his half-brother, especially able to eat, and crying loudly.

After the second son of the first son of the head of the sect of Changzong was sent to Ning Ning for adoption, she was named "Shikoku Maru" according to her place of birth, and the arrival of this little life greatly alleviated her worries about fertility. Shikokumaru is only three years old now, and he can't see anything at all, but he always feels that under Ning Ning's training, he will become an amazing character.

The Aju of the Chiwei family is in a very awkward situation. The role of the Asai family in the turmoil is unclear, and her father seems to have disappeared into thin air after the incident, and old friends such as Tsunami Kaibei are missing. Of course, Hirate doesn't intend to blame other people's daughters for this, but it takes a certain amount of skill to convey his kindness to the past, and it's better to act than to say more.

There are other side rooms with lower status, except for the shallots that give birth to the second young lady Akemi, the attention that others can get can be described as extremely thin. However, the low-ranking samurai and the girls born in the peasant family obviously did not have any dissatisfaction with the life of food and clothing, and they always enjoyed the taste of being worshiped and served gently.

The phrase "Gentle Township is a hero's mound" is really not in vain, just five days of hard work, I deeply feel that my insight, sensitivity and fighting spirit have been worn out a lot.

But there are so many enemies out there! It's far from the time for singing and dancing.

Ah Inu asked, "Your Highness is now a step forward, are you considering building castles in Izumi and Awaji?" We should also recruit more servants and maids to come in and enrich them. In this regard, the tie flatly refused.

If you say five days, it will be five days.

As soon as the time came, Tieshou Fanxiu used the greatest perseverance to leave behind the flowers and willows and return to work.

The first step is to sort out the latest news from all parties.

There will be no movement in the Kyoto area for the time being, and after Hirate Hohide escaped through the matter of Akechi Mitsuhide, the rest of the people still gathered, and it was said that he was going to participate in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's succession of the orphans of the previous generation to the Asakura family. There is also the problem of the southern half of Hanoi, and the shogunate will definitely want to take it under its jurisdiction, but most of them will fail......

On the Kansai side, Urakami Munekei and his henchmen were originally embarrassed by the attack of Mori and Asai. But recently, Maori Moto's health has been poor, and Asai Nagamasa returned to, so Urakami Sokei took a breath, but instead turned defense to attack and arrogance for a while.

The Ukita Naoie, who had already been rebelled by Maori, saw that the situation was not good, and rejoined the command of Urakami Munekei, who also pinched his nose and forgave him. Because the Ukita Naoya has shown strong control over the Bizen Reserve area in the operation, the real strength is not much inferior to the old master.

On the other hand, after Miyoshi Nagaitsu was defeated and died, Takeyoshi Murakami, who colluded with him, felt that his future was bleak, and under the coercion and persuasion of Kobayakawa Takakei, he also returned to the arms of the Maori family.

These two events fully demonstrated the low degree of centralization of power in the West and the capricious political characteristics of the Chinese people. After all, it was a dispute thousands of miles away, and the tie did not pay much attention to it.

But the news coming from Shikoku Island has to be taken seriously, because it involves skin and skin interests.

Two years ago, Hirate Hoshu presided over a wave of raiders, and after finally gaining a certain territory, he chose to make peace with the Miyoshi family and married Nobunaga's adopted daughter to Miyoshi Nagaji. And after Nobunaga's assassination, Miyoshi Nagaharu and Shinohara's Nagabo unsurprisingly quickly tore up the agreement and made a comeback.

It has been confirmed that the garrison commander Wasuka Masakatsu, who was sent to western Sanuki, was unfortunately killed in battle last month, and Kagawa Shoti, a powerful countryman who returned to Oda, was listed as a "must-kill" by Shinohara Nagabo, so he had to flee to the mountains and hide in Tibet. Sanuki's lost territory has been regained by the Miyoshi family.

The head relatives of the Changzong and my department did their support, but to no avail. No matter how desperate he is, he has eight or nine thousand soldiers, and he has to deal with the remnants of An Yi Guohu, no matter what, he can't deal with Shinohara Nagafang, whose strength is more than twice as strong as him. According to the latest information, after Sanuki was almost settled, the Miyoshi Army had changed the direction of its main attack and mobilized 16,000 troops into Tosa, leaving only 2,000 men to continue to pursue Kagawa Zhijing.

Tie Tsunoxiu immediately made a decision: "Back then, Oda Dan asked me to take the second three good houses, and now his old man has become the leader, and I must make up for the unfinished business." The three western prefectures of Sanuki must not be abandoned, and the scenery of Kagawa must not be fine. ”

The place in Shikoku is still relatively barbaric and xenophobic, and it is not easy to go in. The death of Wasuka Masakatsu is already a big loss of morale, and if Kagawa Scenery, which was finally recruited, is really captured and killed by Shinohara Nagabo, the results of the strategy two years ago will be completely in vain, and it will be even more difficult to gain a firm foothold in the future. In addition, Tosa's Nagamune Ibu Genqin will be in a dangerous situation if he does not see reinforcements for a long time, and if he survives the crisis alone, he will definitely have different intentions, and his dependence on the center will be greatly reduced.

The Seto Inland Sea business circle, with "Tamagoya House", "Sankaya and Harutaya" as the core, is carefully arranged by Hirata Honhide, and is related to tens of thousands of kan of income every year.

It seems that the situation cannot afford to wait any longer.

But at the same time, Kii can't leave it alone!

has just obtained the guardian title, which is the best time for the new official to take office. If you don't open up the situation in a few months, it will get harder and harder over time. If you don't do it all the time, the locals will inevitably feel that "the Tieshou Punishment Department is just a mediocre general, and there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

But the situation in Kii, it is really impossible to quickly cut the knife, you have to boil the frog in warm water, you can't see the results for more than half a year, and you may bring humiliation on yourself if you rush to achieve it.

So now the question is at hand:

Shikoku and Kii, both of which are severe battlefields, both need to be tied with Honhide in person, and no one under his command has the ability to replace them. (It's really going to be a big tail, but it's not going to be noisy)

Across the Seto Inland Sea, it is too troublesome to transmit information and transfer troops, and it is absolutely impossible to take care of it.

The doppelganger lacks skills!

I really can't do it, so I can only give up one side, but before that, can we come up with a way to get the best of both worlds?
