It has been two days since Niwa Nagahide left Kohama with Takeda Motoaki, and the people and wealthy families who had come to give gifts before have not appeared again, and the port of Higashimihama, which is supervised by Suzuki Heavy Industries, has also begun to take shape. The so-called initial taking shape is nothing more than the renovation of the port that was originally chaotic in management, and the establishment of a Haikou office nearby for unified management. After setting up the Haikou office, Sabei ordered Suzuki Heavy Industries, the governor of Tomihama Town, to send ten servants to the Haikou station to manage the ships going to sea and docking.

At the same time, Sukeemon, who had been sent to the Gyeonggi area to inquire about the news, immediately returned to Kunigil-seong Castle after establishing a simple line of contact in the Gyeonggi area.

Sabei, who was sitting in the assessment room, looked at Sukeemon in front of him and asked, "Sukeemon, but you found out the news in the Gyeonggi area?" ”

After hearing this, Sukeemon bowed his head and said: "My lord, I found out some news in Gyeonggi, His Royal Highness Ashikaga took refuge in Hanoi, and His Royal Highness Nobunaga did not leave Kyoto before, and His Royal Highness Miyoshi and His Royal Highness Ashikaga did not dare to act rashly, and now it is Lord Akechi and Lord Aoi who are presiding over the overall situation in Kyoto, so Lord Miyoshi and His Royal Highness Ashikaga have the heart to counterattack again." ”

After listening to Sukeemon's report, Sabei lowered his head and pondered for a few breaths, and then said to Sukeemon, "You go down first!" After Sukeemon went down, Sabei said to the attendants who were serving outside the door, "Call Yamashita Shinsuke and Goroubei to the assessment room!" ”

After a while, Sabei in the assessment room said to Yamashita Shinsuke and Goroubei in front of him, "Sukeemon has come to report that the Miyoshi family of Kawachi Province has accepted the exiled Ashikaga Highness, and has the idea of counterattacking the Gyeonggi region again. ”

After listening to Sabei's words, Suzuki Heavy Industries and Yamashita Shinsuke were silent. After a long time, Suzuki Heavy Industries said: "My lord, this matter is not something to be considered by us, His Royal Highness Nobunaga will deal with this matter, and we need to quickly expand the standing reserve now, and the further planning of Mihama Town and Higashimihama Town also needs to be implemented, His Royal Highness Ashikaga has now been exiled by His Highness Nobunaga, even if he unites Lord Miyoshi of Kawachi Kuniyoshi, it is not a concern for His Highness Nobunaga." ”

Yamashita Shinsuke immediately echoed: "My lord, I just got out of the war, and now we haven't completely suppressed some wealthy families who don't obey the lord. But the lord should distinguish the priority, today I will directly advise the lord, and I hope the lord will forgive me! With that, the two of them bowed to Sabei together.

Sabei was a little annoyed when he heard this, but when he saw the two of them kowtowing, he suppressed the anger in his heart again. Recently, I have indeed been a little annoyed by some of Niwa Nagahide's actions, and my desire for merit has become stronger, and war is a convenient way for me to further ascend to a high position.

After a moment of silence in the assessment room, Sabei said to the two people in front of him, "Goroubei, Shinsuke Yamashita, you two get up!" ”

After Suzuki Heavy Industries and Yamashita Shinsuke got up, Sabei bowed his head to the two and said, "I've really been a little anxious lately, and the affairs of Gyeonggi are naturally presided over by Lord Akechi and Lord Yuan, and I should talk about anything else after the general is properly settled." ”

After hearing this, the two immediately leaned over and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Gong, forgive me!" ”

Shortly after the two left, Ming Weixiu walked into the assessment room and looked at the pensive Sabei Guard. Ming Weixiu was about to turn around and leave gently, but heard her husband call out to her. Ming Weixiu immediately turned around and bowed his head to Sabei and said, "Did I disturb the adults?" ”

Zuobei looked at his cautious wife, and said with a smile: "No, Ah Xiu, you have something to say here?" ”

After hearing this, Ming Weixiu said to the maid behind him: "You guys retreat first!" Then he walked to Sabei and sat down, bowed his head and said to Sabei, "My lord, have you already made up your mind about the family crest?" ”

Hearing this, Sabei said with a smile: "I want to use 'Wei' as a family crest, I don't know what Ah Xiu thinks?" ”

After hearing this, Ming Weixiu smiled and said, "Why do adults use the word 'Wei' as their family crest?" ”

"Defend people, guard families, guard leaders!" Sabei blurted out after listening to his wife's question.

Ming Wei Xiu nodded and said to Sabei, "I'm here to add a new family crest to the new haori of the adult. ”

In the following days, Sabei recruited another hundred standing guards in the domain, and selected several samurai with good martial arts and virtues from among the servants who surrendered to him and promoted them to Kuniyoshi Castle as military servants. As for what Niwa Nagahide and Takeda Motoaki did, Sabei no longer thought about it as much as before.

Seeing this, the other small wealthy clans and local servants in the Sabei Domain came to Kuniyoshi Castle again to meet Sabei. This time, Sabei no longer gave a few cold orders like the previous two times, but actively communicated with them and actively helped them with problems that could not be handled in the territory. He also accepted their gifts, and agreed to the requests of several servants who wanted their daughters to come to the city to serve their servants.

The other wealthy clans and local servants in Sanfang County saw that Sabei was no longer a refusal, and they were invited by Sabei to Kuniyoshi Castle to attend a banquet, so the relationship with Sabei also eased. In short, Sabei focused his attention on the governance of the territory.

The Ming Guard's black-on-black yellow pill red guard flag finger was also gradually completed under the supervision of Sabei, and the military attendants under Sabei also took the lead in completing the installation. The lower attendant has one banner and the middle attendant has two flags, and the higher-level samurai have not been considered because the establishment has not yet been completed. The Standing Guards printed "Marunouchi Ichiwei" on their chests and hats when Sabei helped them make the Imperial Loan Musta.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga also sent Sakuma Nobumori and Hirate Fanhide to lead 5,000 troops, and with the assistance of Akechi Mitsuhide and Naomasa Tsukasa, they launched an attack on the Miyoshi clan in Kawachi. The Miyoshi family, which originally had the strength to fight, was attacked by the Oda army when they invaded Yamashiro Province due to the overconfidence of the heads of the Miyoshi family, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and it was also due to the surprise attack of the 500 Kyoto Ministers led by Naomasa from the flank, cutting off the front and back links of the Miyoshi Army, resulting in the defeat of the Miyoshi Army, and the death of Iwanari Tomotsu of the Miyoshi Trio.

Subsequently, the Oda army captured Miyoshiya Yodo Castle with lightning speed, and continued to pursue the fleeing Miyoshi army, capturing the castles of Miyoshiya in Hanoi.

However, the arrival of the autumn harvest gave the Miyoshi family a chance to breathe, and after some negotiations, Oda Nobunaga suspended the attack on Hanoi and sent his troops to "help" the Miyoshi family to harvest the rice in the territory.

Sabei, who was far away in Wakasa, was not idle, and after consulting with Shinsuke Yamashita and Suzuki Heavy Industries, Sabei invested in the construction of a post house. The so-called post office is a paid nearby merchant who transports goods and takes turns to send a group of standing guards to escort the merchant's goods or merchants, in short, the number of guards depends on the price. In this way, you can not only make money, but also increase your standing experience. Similar to the dart game of the Celestial Empire, as for the army can't do business or something, it doesn't exist.

Yamashita Shinsuke was instructed by Sabei to support a merchant house in Mihama Town and get in touch with Kakukuraya. Anyway, Sabei is now bent on filling up and making a little money.
