When everyone arrived, Imagawa Yoshimoto took the chessboard in the center and asked everyone to sit around.

"This is a secret, and you can't leak it at will, so please keep your mouth shut after hearing it." Imagawa Yoshimoto said in a deep voice, "The family is expected to be in Shangluo next summer." ”

Everyone was not too surprised, the people who could sit here were all important ministers of the family, and how could they not be aware of the movements of their own family. It's just that after the time of Shangluo was determined, everyone was also slightly excited and expectant.

"After the New Year, you will each return to the territory to prepare." Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to have a case in mind, and issued an order like a cloud: "Sena, Iio, Sekiguchi, the three of you are responsible for transporting 100,000 stone grain and grass to Okazaki Castle in advance for the needs of the army in April." At the same time, prepare bullock carts, trolleys and other tools for transportation. In addition, the supply line from Okazaki to Narumi will also be laid. ”

The army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first, this is the truth. As early as half a year before the army, Imagawa Yoshimoto had already begun to prepare for the army's food and grass.

"In addition, Junfu City and Yinma City should also prepare 10,000 stone of grain each, which will be used for the army to eat when passing by." Imagawa Yoshimoto commanded again, "Asahina, I'll hand over to you from Inma Castle." I am personally responsible for Sunfu City. ”

"So much grain and grass..."Sena asked with some surprise, "How many people are going to be dispatched in the main hall?" ”

"Thirty thousand foot light." Imagawa Yoshimoto lightly spat out a number that surprised everyone. The mobilization capacity of the entire Imagawa family is only about 35,000 people. 30,000 people were dispatched in one go, and they almost poured out. Everyone gasped. They originally thought that Imagawa Yoshimoto just wanted to take Owari under the banner of Kamiraku. However, if the force is so huge, it is impossible to say anything just by defeating Owari.

"More than 10,000 soldiers, more than 20,000 auxiliaries. When he arrived at Okazaki Castle, he gathered another 20,000 people to help with the supply transportation in the territory. Imagawa Yoshimoto chuckled and said, "This time in Shangluo, at least take down Owari Mino." Then, depending on the situation, whether to cross the near-river west. ”

"According to intelligence, the Miyoshi family seems to be deliberately shrinking after helping Hatakeyama Takamasa return to Kawachi Takaya Castle. Matsunaga Shu also received the semi-independent Yamato guardian position. Yoshimoto Imagawa smiled, "This is our chance." ”

"It's just that, Your Highness," Asahina Taichao admonished, "Owari Mino has just taken it, and he has rashly taken control of before the foundation is solidified, but I am afraid that if an accident happens, I will encounter a crisis." ”

"Who said I'm going to take control of?" Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled, "I'm just going to mess up!" And not under the suppression of the Miyoshi family. We only need to fight to Kyoto and withdraw our troops after the prestige of the Miyoshi family is discredited. Without our pressure, the Gongfang Palace will definitely try to regain control of and form a constraint with the local nobles. We will then exert influence through the Asai family and make chaotic. When we stabilize the land of the Five Kingdoms and raise troops to Shangluo again, it will be the time to establish the hegemony of in one fell swoop. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto's words made everyone seem to see the hope of the future, and their hearts were eager to dominate, and the blood of leaving a name in history began to boil.

"After the New Year, it rains and autumn." Imagawa Yoshimoto clicked on Yu Qiuping's name, "As the county representative of Bihai County, you will immediately rush to take office, and then return to Junfu before sending troops to help draw up the plan for sending troops." ”

"Yes! Your Highness! Yu Qiuping suddenly became excited. Participating in the formulation of the plan to send troops undoubtedly gave him the opportunity to avoid a surprise attack on the barrel narrows. He had been thinking hard about how to change this history, but the opportunity came to his door.

"Asahina..."

……

After everyone's tasks were assigned one by one, Imagawa Yoshimoto sent everyone back to continue eating, and Sena Toshi was left behind.

"Let's start spying." Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled cynically, "Let's see which one is the first to leak the news." So many times before, I couldn't let him show his feet. This time, I'll be fooled after all. ”

After the New Year, Yu Qiuping began to relocate. There are more than 200 households that need to be relocated, as well as 300 subordinates led by Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping left this time, and his family's territory still had to be guarded. So Naoe Tadahei was given the position of a general, and he was left behind to be responsible for all work arrangements in the territory.

According to Yu Qiuping's current official position, he could have appointed generals. However, because Yu Qiuping initially linked General Ashigaru to the position of a platoon commander, it became very troublesome to be promoted.

Now Chang Panbei has 600 subordinates, twice as many as the 200 at the beginning, but the command structure has not been upgraded. The 100-led militia was given over to the two samurai of the Matsubara family and the Katsuda family, and the remaining 500 were each served as ashigaru generals by Yu Qiuping's old subordinates. There are a total of 12 platoons, all of which are managed by Yu Qiuping. As a result, there are no more spare posts for them to be promoted.

Perhaps, it is an attempt to separate the "official dispatch" like the Northern Song Dynasty? Or is it a separation of rank and position, as in later generations? Of course, Yu Qiuping doesn't have the energy to do this now.

The officers who followed Yu Qiuhei in this relocation were Hontabe Nosuke, Fukushima Yasunari, Mimasaki Nakahide, Yoshioka Katsumasa, Ogawa Yuto, and Charlie. There is also Amano Keitoku who is going to be in charge of the judges and the preparation of the law in the new territory, and Sena Shiyi is in charge of land inspection and resettlement of the relocated families. Kaede Imagawa and Masayuki Sanada follow Yu Qiuhei and help him with various things. This took away most of the senior officers at once.

Hanamaru and the others still stayed in the territory west of Ejiri to produce the weapons they needed, after all, the army had been expanded so much, even if it had already produced a lot more, there was still a huge gap in the sufficiency.

In order to quickly get the work of the new territory on the right track, Yu Qiuping even transferred most of the judges and tax agents. Yu Qiuping's current acting officials in charge of management and taxation in the territory are basically the acting officials who have been in charge of managing here from the beginning and the people brought by Sena Shiyi, so they are all very experienced. With them, nothing has gone wrong in the territory. The departure of a large number of manpower will undoubtedly bring great pressure to Naoe Tadahei.

"Although it is full of difficulties, you have to take care of this 12,000 stone territory for me." Yu Qiuping said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness." Naoe Tadahei still used the usual phrase when he was still called a pro-soldier, but the title changed from an adult to a highness. No matter how complicated things are, he will always be willing to share them for Yu Qiuping.

On January 19, in the post station in the city of Yinma.

Yu Qiuping had already led the relocated crowd to the Yuanjiang boundary. Due to the large number of people, they did not live in the city, but set up a large village outside the city to rest.

"Hey! Flat! No! Kaede Imagawa dodged in the tent, "How can you be in the big tent..."

"Is there anything that doesn't work?" Yu Qiuping said dissatisfiedly, "Everyone has gone to the castle town for dinner, and there are just two of us here!" Feng'er has to clarify her identity, you are my wife now! ”

"That's... That..."Kaede Imagawa bit his lip and muttered, "Don't talk about the bed here, there are not even tatami mats... How can it! ”

"Who said you have to be bed?" Yu Qiuping smiled evilly, "It's just right... There's something called doggyback, which can teach you. ”

"No! I've seen it in that nasty book of Ping! Imagawa Kaede's cheeks flushed, and he protested loudly: "No! ”

Seeing that Yu Qiuping was still approaching with bad intentions, Imagawa Kaede immediately became vigilant. "You're not my opponent, don't think about using a strong one!" Kaede Imagawa retreated to a corner of the tent and threatened in a posture of fighting skills.

Just as Yu Qiuping was pondering how to subdue Imagawa Kaede, there was a sudden sound of low footsteps and the wailing of crows outside the tent.

"Jingde?" Yu Qiuping walked out of the account with some surprise, and Imagawa Kaede breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Qiuping has a tent door, and he meets Amano Jingde around the corner.

"Jingde, why didn't you go to dinner?" Yu Qiuping asked in surprise.

"I'm going to sweep the grave." Tianye Jingde's face was still unwavering, and he said lightly: "By the way, I went to send some money to the old man." ”

"Old man?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, "Is it Ling Zun and Ling Tang?" ”

"No, they're long dead." Amano Keide shook his head, "It's the father-in-law and mother-in-law below." ”

"That's it..."Yu Qiuping remembered that Amano Keitoku had mentioned before that his wife had passed away, so he probably went to sweep his wife's grave, "Do you want to take them to Zhili together?" ”

"No, they hate it." Amano Jingde's tone is still flat and emotionless, as if he is narrating something that has nothing to do with him, "I don't like the old man in the next place, and I died in childbirth, and the two old people are very resentful of me, and they have already made a clear relationship with me." ”

"I'm sorry to hear this..."Yu Qiuping was slightly stunned, "I take the liberty of asking, can you know where Ling Zheng's grave is?" I'm willing to go and worship it. ”

The corners of Amano Jingde's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Lead the horse city to the south of the city." ”

dragged the family with the mouth, and there were many salute brigades that couldn't get up quickly. Yu Qiuping did not let his subordinates gather in a phalanx again, but let them each support their families to march. There are still many old people and children in the team, and they can't go too far, so they have to stop and rest. Yu Qiuping very thoughtfully slowed down his travel, and every time he came to a village, he would stop to rest and rest, winning praise from everyone. In order to facilitate transportation, the ashigaru people of Tokiwa put their armor on their bodies, and the autumn leaves on their heads were their treasures, so they hurried to show off to their families.

Anyway, when I arrived at Zhili, settled down, it would take a long time to divide the fields or something, and it was estimated that it would be too late for spring ploughing, and Yu Qiuping was not in a hurry for this day or two.

So, on January 26, the brigade finally arrived at Zhili City. Sena immediately took the civil servants to read the dossier and conduct a verification of the land and population. Yu Qiuping sent the cavalry team to Sanada Masayuki first, and asked him to be responsible for understanding the situation of the various wealthy families in the entire Sanhe Bihai County. Yu Qiupei, on the other hand, personally commanded his subordinates and began to build houses for his family in the castle town of Zhili Castle, which was in ruins. The castle had been renovated under the supervision of Sekiguchi Clanhiro, but the walls were still based on the original walls, and the buildings inside the walls had not been built except for the castle tower and some necessary residences.

Yu Qiuping then planned in the city. There is a main road between the north and south gates and the east and west gates, which meet near the castle tower. Since it's a small town, you don't need anything like the Nitomaru Honmaru. Yu Qiuping planned the northeast area into a commercial district, leaving a lot of vacant land for markets and small vendors. The southeastern district was the residence of the samurai, and single subordinates and high-ranking officers could live here. The southwest area is the barracks, and the northwest area is the tertiary industry places such as restaurants, post houses, and theaters - although Yu Qiuping feels that no one has come for a long time.

The matter of settling down and relocating continued until the end of February, and the territory around Zhili Castle was verified by Yu Qiuping to a total of more than 30,800 stones. The population was not that large, because there were only 8,200 people in 35 villages after years of war, so a lot of land was vacated. Yu Qiuping assigned some of the ownerless fertile fields to the Tokiwa family, and sent people to various mountainous areas and several other counties to call on the original residents to return to their hometowns to farm.

And the situation of other wealthy families in the county is not special. It is still a wealthy family with very feudal characteristics, surrendering to the Imagawa family and accepting the moderation of the gundai, but keeping a distance from the gundai. In addition to collecting their grain taxes and handing them over to the Imagawa family, Yu Qiuping did not have much power to restrain them. Only when there is a war, it is possible to command the troops of a county.
