Katsuyori Takeda can be said to have chosen a very clever entry point to ask for a fight, which was recognized by the tie Tsunohide, and with his political wisdom, it was definitely an extraordinary performance.

But only partially permitted.

It's because there are still a lot of details that aren't perfect.

Let Suruga's Naotora Ii and Umewakamaru take command of the expedition, on the surface, he fully respects the status of the Heite family, but he doesn't think about the big problems that may be caused behind it.

It's okay if you lose, but wouldn't it be embarrassing if you win?

You must know that the legal second generation of the legal second generation of the Emperor Hiratade Yoshimitsu has been in the Yuan service for several years, with auxiliary ministers such as Konishi Yukicho and a group of boys with their own strengths, leading the large troops of Omi, Yamashiro, and Wakasa, and specially dispatching the elite of Qimoto to help, and still suffered defeat in the poor mountains and bad waters of Tanba.

A concubine who is not yet an adult follows his mother to beat Hojo in Kanto? Even if you just rely on your teammates to win, it's still a win, and most people at the bottom can't tell the difference.

When this spreads, I'm afraid that many people will not be able to eat and sleep!

But Takeda's motivation to do something is still worth encouraging.

The world is so big, you can't always hand over everything to your relatives and cronies and retainers, and you must let the appearance also have a way to integrate in, which is the way to long-term peace and stability.

Of course, the degree needs to be controlled.

It must not develop to the point where Tokugawa Ieyasu's power was dominant in the original history. In fact, when it comes to the position of the original historical Maeda Toshiya, it should be very vigilant.

However, two days after sending Takeda Katsuyori away, he received a letter from the head of Chosamune's department.

Roughly speaking, now that we have a good understanding of the situation in Kyushu and have a few strongholds, we can consider further action. Although the Otomo family is really disappointing as an ally, and although the Shimazu family has shown quite amazing combat effectiveness, isn't it necessary to rise to the occasion as a samurai? It's time to fight back!

At present, the land owned by the head of Nagamune is almost the entire territory of Tosa, the two prefectures in the southeast of Iyo, and some fragmented land in Awa and Sanuki, totaling about 3,340,000 koku, and thanks to the implementation of the policy of "one collar is sufficient", the conscription system has been strengthened, and a maximum of 15,000 troops can be used to fight across the sea.

His requirements were not high, and he only hoped that the four foreign countries such as Tokawa Depository, Miyoshi Yasunaga, Kagawa no Kei, and Saionji Kohiro would send troops to help, and then let Kinoshita Hidenaga, who had just been entitled, provide shipping and logistical support.

This situation is very different from Takeda Katsuyori.

A year and a half ago, the purpose of Changzong's relatives to enter Kyushu was to obtain more land, but it was also under the banner of "crusading against murderers".

Now, due to the change of the center, the Otomo family has become a "loyal minister", and the Shimazu family has become a "thief". The people are still those people, the battle still continues, but the name has completely changed.

In the face of such a dramatic reversal, the relatives of Changzong and our department did not hesitate at all, did not complain at all, did not get entangled in an instant, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and began to unite with the great friends and ask for Shimazu.

In fact, this is mainly because he has a full understanding of the rules of the troubled times of the Warring States and understands that the so-called friend and foe relationship will not be absolute.

But to outsiders, it seems that it is undoubtedly a manifestation of "dedication to duty".

If you think about it a little, you will know that such a big change, whether it is the internal mentality adjustment or the external environment dredging, is a very troublesome work, and it is by no means as simple as changing the slogan.

And now, the only appeal of the head relatives of Changzong is to support him in attacking Kyushu.

How can you not say yes?

The only concern about this tie is that it is estimated that the head of the Changzong and my department may not be able to beat Shimazu, especially when compared with the "plot" of the "original history", he feels that there is a fiasco.

It's worth thinking about.

So, Tieshou Fanxiu thought about it for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: let him go, even if he loses, or even loses miserably, how many casualties will not have a decisive impact on the overall situation of the world.

I just think it's a pity if such a heroic man dies.

But since it's an initiative to ask for it......

In the end, Hirate Honshu ordered Asano Nagayoshi, who had already established many connections in Shikoku, to coordinate in the middle, so that all the outsiders could cooperate with the actions of Chomune's head relatives in an appropriate way. As soon as Kinoshita Hidenaga gained a firm foothold as the acting official of Kita Iyo, he was not out of the crowd and was only in charge of logistics.

The specific tactical command is all decided on its own.

The reactions of the people in the four countries were different.

The Ten Rivers Deposit Insurance is very resistant to obeying orders under the banner of Changzong's ministry, and it was Asano Nagayoshi who said bad things before pulling it over, Miyoshi Yasucho is indispensable, and Saionji Gonghiro is high-spirited.

……

Almost at the same time, Kawada Naga also sent a letter requesting to take the initiative to launch a counteroffensive against Echigo Uesugi.

His reason was that in the three consecutive defensive battles in the past year, he clearly felt that the opponent's sharpness and military spirit were constantly declining, and it was time to change from passive to active.

And I also heard that Uesugi Kenshin seems to be seriously ill and bedridden, whether it is true or not, you can always test it.

Although the countries of Echizen, Noto, and Echichu are relatively chaotic and have not yet been completely controlled, they can easily get a team of more than 10,000 people, and with the strength of the Hokuriku generals and the cooperation of Kaga Ichishomune, it is enough to fight.

- That's the view of Nagato Kawada.

But the tie was not convincing enough and intended to dismiss it.

After all, the appearance is not the same as that of a retainer.

The former is to raise troops on the basis of a certain amount of capital, and although they cannot share much central power, their freedom and independence are respected. The latter grew up internally and would be entrusted with the task of going out of town as a "name generation", but the orders issued from above must be strictly followed.

Especially now the important ministers of the Pingshou family are basically pulled up by Fan Xiu, and they don't have any seniority to bargain at all.

However, Kawada also attached an additional piece of paper and wrote a short article with sincere feelings.

"Since the reform of the yuan, my subordinates have often been sleepy and weak, with headaches and dizziness. I have no interest in resuming food, clothing, entertainment and drama, but I only remember that in the past 18 years of meeting with the lord, I have fought in the south and the north, and I have looked down on the heroes, which is intentionally stimulated, and I know that my hard work has not yet been exhausted. I am not confused and childless, and now I am dying, I don't know how to send this body, I just want to see the Lord open the government system, set the world, and then you can look at it! ”

After reading it, he was shocked, put aside various affairs, took the doctor around him, and rushed to Echizen in a light car and fast horse for five days, and saw Kawada Changqin talking and laughing and sitting as usual, but his limbs were obviously weak, and the tired color between his eyebrows lingered.

I can't help but say, hurry up to the doctor to see a doctor.

However, after seven famous doctors who had studied from Tokumoto Nagata and Michizo Qu Naose, they discussed and discussed again and again, spent a few hours of hard work, and pushed each other, and the leader stood up and came to the conclusion: "Kawada Awaji Hall was assassinated two years ago and was seriously injured, and now the vitality is constantly fading, and I am afraid that it will be quite bad in the long run, but I really can't tell the cause of the disease, so I racked my brains, so I had to deal with it cautiously and prescribe some medicinal materials to replenish qi and calm the nerves...... Maybe it's because of the hard work and exhaustion of the case, maybe you can ...... if you put down government affairs and recuperate."

The so-called serious injuries in the first two years were deliberately made by Kawada Naga in order to suppress the hearts of the people of the four countries. The doctor didn't know, but the two of them knew it.

After hearing this, Pingshou Fanxiu had a gloomy face, did not have an immediate seizure, and asked the seven doctors to go out and wait.

Then he closed the door and slapped the table and scolded angrily: "What famous teacher and apprentice? I think it's a charlatan! So many people spend so long that they can't even say a cause? It's ridiculous, they should all be locked up and whipped a few times. ”

Kawada Changqin stopped with a wry smile: "My subordinates have seen through this is the will of heaven, please calm down and don't worry too much about it." ”

But where can you "settle"?

Pingshou Fan Xiu paced left and right and lamented for a long time, and said: "Maybe what they said is still reasonable, it is a factor of hard work and exhaustion. Otherwise, you can leave Hokuriku and go to Kyoto or Koyasan, or find a hot spring in Kii so you can recuperate......"

Speaking of this, Kawada Changqin's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly came to his senses, and said solemnly: "Please allow me to refuse!" ”

Tieshou was stunned.

For so many years, it is the first time that the other party has spoken in front of him in such a blunt tone!

Kawada Nagajin took a breath, his face was red and white, and continued to explain in a low voice: "The only hope now is to participate in the great cause of reforming the old and renewing it with my own hands before closing my eyes. If you want me to stay out of the situation and watch my colleagues show their talents, then you might as well die today! ”

Hearing this, he looked at the weak but determined eyes of this retainer, and he didn't know how to respond.

I suddenly remembered the Yumori Yamanaka who had been sent away a few days ago.

Different situations and reasons, similar moods and pursuits.

After a long silence, Pingshou Fan Xiu nodded lightly twice.
