Chapter 162: "Righteous Thin Clouds"

"Sugiura Genren?" Tsukahara Molong looked at the battle report sent by Tsukahara Shige, and couldn't help but touch his chin, three days ago, a monk named Sugiura Genren led hundreds of elite water out of Nagashima Castle on a rainy night, and launched a surprise attack on the remaining troops of the Oda Army, which directly led to the death of the famous general "Retreat Sakuma" Sakuma Nobumori, who was famous in history, and the three thousand troops under his command collapsed, if it were not for the support of Shibata Katsuya's army, there was even the possibility of annihilation.

In the history of the Warring States period, the monks of Honganji Temple were almost equal to field imbeciles, but Sugiura Genren was a rare outlier among them. Historically, he led his army to fight many fierce battles with Uesugi Kenshin, and later fought to the death against the Oda family's Hokuriku crusade army, which can be described as a rare general in Honganji. But Tsukahara Molong didn't expect that Sugiura Genren actually stood up to a Oda family minister like Sakuma Nobumori as soon as he came up, and he seemed to be a little too violent.

In addition to the heavy losses suffered by the attack on the remaining troops, Kitabatake Harugu sent troops to Nagashima and personally led the troops north to make peace with the Northern Ise Hao clan, with a strength of 14,000 people. Oda Nobunaga had no choice but to dig a dam in advance and release water to flood the castle, so that the Honganji monks in the castle could not go out of the castle to attack and disturb, and he himself led a large army to personally meet the Ise coalition forces that came to help.

"The situation is getting more and more unpredictable...... Tsukahara Moryū said to Sanada Nobutsuna, who was serving on the side, "Tell Master Taiyuan Yukisai that I agree to make peace with the Hojo family." ”

"What?" Sanada Nobutsuna was stunned when he heard this, although he joined the Tsukahara family for a short time, but he was still very clear about the grievances between the Hojo family and the main family, especially the Hojo clan's Masaun will take revenge, and when the main force of the Tsukahara army attacked Shimono and Hitachi, he sent troops to Edo Castle, which made him very indignant. In his eyes, Tsukahara Molong was not only willing to send troops to fight, but was also willing to make peace, which was simply unimaginable.

Tsukahara Moryū looked at Sanada Nobutsuna, who looked puzzled, and said with a smile: "What? Don't understand? Everyone in the world knows that when I was down, Tsukahara Moryū was once blessed by the Takeda family and the Imagawa family, so this harmony is to repay the kindness of that year, do you understand? ”

"Ah...... The lord is really affectionate. "Sanada Nobutsuna is a little silent on weekdays, but at this time he was very moved, and he couldn't imagine that his lord was such a loving and righteous person, and it was really worth my life's loyalty.

Seeing Sanada Nobutsuna like this, Tsukahara Moryū patted his head: "Okay, let's go, let's talk about the conditions." When Sanada Nobutsuna left, Tsukahara Molong sighed leisurely, "Sure enough, compared to the third brother in history, although your boss is also very talented, he is still a little too upright." ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai, who was anxiously waiting in Xiaojincheng, suddenly received the news from Sanada Nobutsuna, and was overjoyed, originally thought that it would take a lot of speech, and even have to pay some price to achieve the goal, but it was actually Tsukahara Molong said: Repay the kindness of the year, and it will be completed! It's really impressive! Thinking of this, Taiyuan Xuezhai was embarrassed to leave like this, thought about it, decided to borrow the four treasures of the study, splashed ink and wrote the four big characters of "Yi Bo Yuntian", and solemnly wrote his name, and then ran back to Junfu with joy.

After Tsukahara Molong saw the calligraphy and painting left by Taiyuan Xuezhai, he also solemnly asked Sanada Nobutsuna to find someone to frame it and hang it in the Zhaoxian Museum, and then secretly sent someone to notify the soft-handed Toyoda Hansuke and Sanjo Tsunagen who came out of the new book, and printed the new book at full power, spreading the image of his righteous Bo Yuntian to the sixty-six countries!

With such a huge pressure of public opinion, coupled with the fact that the life of the Hojo family has been very difficult recently, it has finally improved a little, and it has hurt its vitality in the attack and defense of Edo Castle, fortunately, most of the Musashi country has started, so that the Hojo family has a chance to breathe, so the Hojo clan is no longer tough, and has to accept the mediation of the Imagawa family, but spread some gossip, such as the Tsukahara family is already at the end of the crossbow, everything is a bluff or something is still necessary, but unfortunately once the tide of public opinion is formed, it is difficult to reverse it to the sky.

"Alas, Taiyuan Xuezhai, you are simply a living Lei Feng!" A strange smile appeared on the corner of Tsukahara Molong's mouth, "Pass the order down and summon all the above generals of the family!" ”

"Hah!"

"Flying no Suke!" Tsukahara Molong looked at a young man kneeling down with his hands, his father Tsurutaro was the first group of merchants to join Tsukahara Moryu, but Tsukahara Moryu's consistent style of employing people is to like to use young people, so Tonosuke is only twenty years old and is already the castle town of Koganeshiro. After the Battle of Shomonyama, out of consideration for the forces of the entire Five Kingdoms, Tsukahara Moryū transferred the excellent performance of Toinosuke to his side, and the head of the grain and grass dispatch. "How's the preparation for the grain and grass?"

Fei Zhisuke nodded, and said with some worry in his eyes: "The main public soldiers have always been vigorous and resolute, and once a war starts, almost all of them will be divided within ten days, so in several major battles, not much grain and grass is consumed. It's just that this time I want to raise 50,000 troops for three months' grain and grass, but I am in a hurry, and the grain and grass I am preparing now is only enough to eat for 50 days. ”

"Oh?" Tsukahara Molong frowned slightly, "I remember that this is a bumper harvest, it should be enough for the 50,000 army to move for more than eighty days, what's going on with those grains and grass?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Fei Zhisuke's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly paused: "The lord doesn't know, since the lord abolished the organization, traders and pawns from all over the country have gathered in their own territory, and now there are a large number of Nanban and Ming people, and they have purchased a large amount of grain from all over the country......"

Belch...... What is the negative impact of population growth? Tsukahara Molong was in shape, but he just thought about going to Kanto to solve the problem of vast land and sparse population, but he forgot that the rate of population increase has exceeded the speed of cultivated land reclamation, if he does not use troops so frequently, but recuperates for a few years, then this problem will naturally be solved. You must know that in history, during the Edo Shogunate period, the stone height of Hitachi alone reached one million stones, which was fully doubled! The problem is that it is impossible for me to wait so long, so I have enriched the population of the Kanto region through various policies and continued to reclaim farmland, but I did not expect that I still could not keep up with the speed of my foreign conquest.

After thinking for a moment, Tsukahara Molong still shook his head, "Okay, although it's a little reluctant, but the strategy of this family is to make some changes to the status quo. ”

"The subordinates are terrified." Feinosuke hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice.

"Get up, it's none of your business." Although Tsukahara Molong wants to attack the businessman again, after all, the businessman pursues profits, and let the younger generation of them govern the place, there will inevitably be corruption, which is an excellent excuse, but at present, the Kanto region has not been unified, and it is easy to cause instability in the situation, so after thinking about it again, Tsukahara Molong still decided to change the original strategic plan.
