Fushiwa Meijiro listened to Sabei's words, bowed his head and said to Sabei, "My lord, I will return to Momoyama Castle tomorrow with Chie and his subordinate Ashigaru. ”

Sabei nodded and said, "Meijiro, by the way, you can give a message to Mae-Hayoshitsugu, so that he can gather his troops in advance and prepare for a riot." ”

Immediately, Sabei said to Sukeemon on the side: "Sukeemon, you go and inform Nanjo Terukei and let him prepare in advance, and I will dispatch his troops at any time!" ”

After instructing the Uemon Gate, Sabei said to Shinsuke Yamashita, "I'll send you away from Echizen." ”

After hearing this, Yamashita Shinsuke immediately bowed his head and said, "There is Lord Lao!" It's a great honor to be in the next! ”

Sabei shook his head and said, "The lord has just exiled the general... Ashikaga-sama, there should be a lot of things to arrange recently, the right Ichisuke has little experience, and some things are difficult to deal with, so it's really hard for you to return to Minami Omi to preside over the situation and let you work so the road! With that, Sabei picked up the sword beside him, got up and walked outside the house.

Seeing this, Fushiwa Mingjiro hurriedly said in the back: "I will also send Yamashita Shinsuke with the lord!" Then he ran out of the house and toward the stables.

Looking at Sabei who led out the mount, Suzuki Heavy Industries said to Fujido Takatora on the side: "With Youemon, you take ten people to escort the lord!" ”

"No need!" Sabei, who turned over and rode on his horse, turned back to Suzuki Heavy Industries and the others and said. Immediately, he beat the horse and Fushiwa Akijiro and Yamashita Shinsuke and ran towards the outside of the city.

Suzuki Heavy Industries looked at the three people who were riding away and said to the others: "Let's hurry up and train, a pinch is not to be taken lightly." ”

Sabei and Fushiwa Akijiro were walking on a road with few pedestrians, and the pedestrians on the road watched the three samurai adults riding on the road, and hurriedly bowed their heads to make way for the three of them. Seeing this, Sabei restrangled his horse from his crotch and asked one of the pedestrians, "Where are you from?" ”

When the pedestrian heard this, he immediately bowed his head to Sabei and said, "My lord, here are the townspeople of Tsuruga Town. ”

After hearing this, Sabei nodded and asked, "Is the poor harvest situation serious this year?" ”

When the pedestrian heard this, he bowed his head and said, "My lord, the villain is going to my sister's house in Nanjo Village to borrow some miscellaneous grains." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Bingwei took out more than ten Yongle Tongbao from his body, dismounted and handed them to the pedestrians and said: "Even if it is a relative, it is better to give some!" ”

Yanbi Sabei turned over his horse and said to Yamashita Shinsuke on the side: "This is still in Nanjo-gun, and the situation in Nanjo-gun is much better than that of Tsuruga gun, I don't know what the situation in Tsuruga gun has deteriorated?" ”

The three of them continued to march towards Tsuruga County, and the closer they got to Tsuruga County, the more lifeless the atmosphere became. Sabei looked at the peasants sitting in the fields by the roadside, and was about to get off his horse to ask, but was pulled back. Sabei looked back at Fushiwa Akijiro who was holding him, only to see Fushiwa Akijiro shaking his head and whispering to himself: "My lord, the price of grain is soaring now, but only a small part of the wheat in the field is about to ripen, and the rice will mature in autumn... Lord, you can only help a few people at most, and tens of thousands of people in Tsuruga County have to face a shortage of food, so why bother. ”

After hearing this, Sabei glanced at the peasants who were sitting in the overgrown fields, and finally beat their horses and walked forward. The deeper he went into Tsuruga County, the more shocking the situation became.

Seeing this, Yamashita Shinsuke shook his head helplessly, and said to Sabei: "Lord, a blow here is unavoidable, the lord still hurry up and prepare, although there is some punishment, but I still have to tell the lord that when the peace is settled in the future, the lord only needs to treat them as a successful name, there is no need to be soft-hearted, as long as a group of mobs are killed, the crisis in Tsuruga County will naturally be solved!" ”

Sabei nodded, and together with Fushiwa Akijiro, sent Yamashita Shinsuke out of Echizen. Then Sabei said to Fushiwa Akijiro: "You can go back too, my words will be given to Mahamaki Yoshitsugu, and tomorrow you will return to Momoyama Castle with your family and men, and I can only put it on hold for the time being." ”

After listening to Sabei's words, Fushiwa Meijiro glanced at Sabei, who didn't know what he was thinking, and then bowed his head to Sabei and said, "My lord, I'm going to say goodbye!" Then he turned his horse and ran.

Sabei rode towards Tsuruga Castle, and then met with Tomita Nagashige in Tsuruga Castle. Tomita Nagofa frowned now, looking at the Sabei who was staring at him in front of him, Tomita Nagheo wanted to open his mouth many times, but after opening his mouth several times, he put his lips together again, and the two looked at each other like this for a long time.

"Lord Tomita, in the event of a riot, you'd better hold on to Tsuruga Castle, don't take the initiative, and wait for me to lead an army to support you." In the end, it was Sabei who broke the silence between the two.

After listening to Sabei's words, Tomita Nagashi nodded silently, and then said to Sabei: "I wish Lord Mingwei a prosperous martial arts!" ”

After listening to Tomita Naghiro's words, Sabei got up, bowed to Tomita Naghiro, and walked outside the house.

"Lord Mingwei, why don't you stop the former Boji from raising the price of grain?"

Hearing this, Sabei stopped and asked Tomita Nagago, "Lord Tomita, although the former Hayoshi has done a lot of evil things in his successor, Lord Tomita is still cautious!" Yan Bi Sabei did not stop, and walked straight out of the house.

After Sabei was gone for a long time, Tomita Nagashige came back to his senses in the last sentence of Sabei. Tomita Nagashige smiled in the direction Sabei had left, then got up and walked outside.

On the day he returned to Momoyama Castle, Sabei wrote a letter to Hidecho Hashiba explaining the situation in Tsuruga Prefecture, in which he told him to be careful against threats from the north.

In the next few days, Sabei contacted Minajo Terukei on the one hand, and on the other hand, stepped up the training of his subordinates, and the entire Momoyama Castle was in a tense atmosphere. Hashiba Hideyoshi also wrote a letter to Sabei saying that he had gathered 1,500 troops, and that if there was a change in Tsuruga County, he would immediately lead the army to cooperate with Sabei to pacify Tsuruga County. After reading Hideyoshi Hashiba's letter, Sabei directly crumpled it up and threw it out.

Later, Sabei read the letter sent by Yamashita Shinsuke, and learned that Oda Nobunaga was summoned by the imperial court at this time, and stayed in Kyoto with Akechi Mitsuhide and others. After reading the letter, Sabei speculated that Oda Nobunaga was worried about the counterattack of the remnants of Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the Gyeonggi region, so he stayed in Kyoto to stabilize the situation and had no time to worry about Echizen's affairs for the time being.

As the news from Sukeemon's ninjas grows worse, Sabei has informed Nanjo Terukei to gather his forces and prepare to march towards Tsuruga County.

Finally, on the afternoon of June 16, the dusty ninja ran to Momoyama Castle Honmaru to report to Sabei and others: Ichika, who had broken out in Tsuruga Prefecture, headed for Kanesaki Castle after an unsuccessful attack on Tsuruga Castle.

Sabei, who learned the news, immediately informed Nanjo Terukei, but Sabei did not send troops but also sent troops, but after ordering Nanjo Terukei's army to rest under Momoyama Castle for a night, he led more than 1,100 troops who did not believe in the Pure Land Shinshu to quickly move south towards Tsuruga County to pacify it.
