Ashikaga Yoshiki took a big sip of water, and after drinking almost the water in the kettle, he wiped his mouth and said, "What if you are unwilling, I didn't expect the strength of the Miyoshi family to be as strong as a fight!" ”

"At the end of the day, we're too anxious." Hosokawa Harumoto couldn't help but interject.

When he said this, Hosokawa Harumoto obviously ignored the fact that he instigated Ashikaga Yoshiteru to break with Miyoshi Chokei, if it wasn't for believing Hosokawa Harumoto's evil, Ashikaga Yoshiki should still be a salted fish in Kyoto at this time.

Although they are all salted fish, the salted fish in Kyoto is obviously much better than the salted fish in this Kuchiki Valley.

"It's been three years since the last time Shogun-sama went to Dewa. The Tsukawa family, isn't it time to go to Luo? Hosokawa Harumoto suddenly turned his head to look at Ashikaga Yoshiteru and said.

Ashikaga Yoshiki nodded, "The three-year covenant of the Tsugawa Hall has indeed arrived. It's just that I don't know why.,The Tsugawa family still hasn't moved at all.,I've already let Ichiro go to Dewa.。 ”

.......

The Yoichiro in Ashikaga Yoshiteru's mouth is Hosokawa Fujitaka, who has indeed arrived at Ueno Castle in Dewa at this time, and was personally received by Tsugawa Soji.

After going to sea from Wakasa Ohama Port and coming to Ueno Castle after more than half a month, Hosokawa Fujitaka can be said to have endured enough. However, thinking of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Hosokawa Fujitaka finally gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Tsugawa Palace, the general and the leader are now in a predicament in the Omi Kuchiki Valley, and they are looking forward to the Tsugawa family!"

"Seeing that the Miyoshi family is now in control of Kyoto, and the authority of the shogunate is overridden by it, the Tsugawa Hall is not raising the banner of righteousness at this time and waving the army into Luo, how long will it be?" In the Sakura Pavilion, Hosokawa Fujitaka cried to Tsugawa Soji with an indignant face about the miserable experience of the shogunate, and how hateful Miyoshi Changqing was, in short, it was a sentence, hoping that the Tsugawa family would send troops as soon as possible, support the government, and save the shogunate and the upside down.

"Please wait a moment for the Daisuke Hall of the Ministry of War, and the family will summon the retainers to come to the meeting, and then there will be a Daisuke Hall of the War Department to explain in detail to the retainers of the family that the shogunate is now in an embarrassing situation. The retainers of this family are all loyal people who have the shogunate in their hearts and are loyal to the great righteousness, and they will never sit idly by and watch the generals suffer! Although he is only less than 20 years old, Hosokawa Fujitaka's official position is not low. In fact, as early as two years ago, Hosokawa Fujitaka continued to serve as Daisuke from the five lower military departments, which can be called rebellious.

Although Soji Tsukawa did not answer Hosokawa Fujitaka's question head-on, with Hosokawa Fujitaka's ingenuity, he also understood the deeper meaning of Soji Tsukawa.

It is true that Tsugawa Soji is the head of the family, and whether he is Shangluo or not is just a matter of Tsugawa Soji's words.

However, the Kamiraku incident itself is extremely involved, and the Tsugawa family's territory is so far away from Kyoto that there may be people among the retainers who have a grudge against it. Therefore, Tsugawa Soji hoped that Hosokawa Fujitaka would first explain to the retainers how far the shogunate had fallen now, so that the retainers of the Tsugawa family could understand the necessity of the Tsukawa family to send troops to Shangluo.

The retainers of the Tsugawa family are now scattered all over the country, and it is obviously impossible to gather all the retainers at once. Soji Tsukawa first asked Hosokawa Fujitaka to rest in Ueno Castle for a few days to prepare well, and then began to arrange the specific matters of Kamiraku.

The purpose of convening the retainers to convene the evaluation was not to solicit the opinions of the retainers, but to let the retainers understand what the Tsugawa family Kamiraku did, so this did not delay Tsugawa Soji from arranging Kamiraku in advance.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and Tsugawa Soji took the lead in finding the soldiers and food. The military rations are not permanent in peacetime, and they temporarily accept their orders in wartime, and such a major event as Shangluo, Tsugawa Soji naturally wants to find a person who is suitable in all aspects, regardless of ability or aspect, and finally Tsugawa Soji let Date Keimune be in charge of the military rations of Shangluo, and let Kitanobu Ai and Ogasawara Nobukiru assist from the side.

After that, there were various war materials and armaments, and according to the request of Tsugawa Soharu, ships had been arranged in advance to go to Goseyama Castle of the Wakasa Takeda family. Takeda Nobutoyo even built a city to hoard, although I don't know what Tsugawa Soji is doing with so many weapons and equipment, but as long as it is something from the Tsugawa family, Takeda Nobutoyo does not dare to be careless.

After two or three days of busyness, the retainers of the Tsugawa family also came to the castle tower of Ueno Castle one after another.

The most recent assessment of this scale was held several years ago, and now Tsugawa Soji is suddenly in a hurry to lead all the retainers in his command to Ueno Castle, so could it be that there will be a war again?

The reason why I think this way is actually quite simple. The Tsugawa family had been recuperating for several years, and according to the old practice, it was time to start a war. I just don't know, where are you going to fight this time, could it be Kanto?

Of course, these are just the thoughts of ordinary retainers. The real important ministers of the Tsugawa family actually have a number in their hearts, that is, this time I am afraid that they are going to discuss the matter of Shangluo.

In recent years, the Tsukawa family has not been conspicuous, giving people the feeling that they have lost their fighting spirit. But the important ministers of the Tsugawa family all know that the Tsugawa family is secretly preparing for Shangluo all the time.

After three years of hard work, the Tsugawa family has completely digested a large area of the Michinoku country, but at least it has been completed. According to the statistics after this year's spring ploughing, the stone height of the Tsugawa family has reached 2.63 million stones, far exceeding expectations.

At the same time, the standing strength of the Tsugawa family has reached more than 50,000 people. It includes 1,500 horsemen, 5,000 muskets, and 3,500 sailors.

More than 20 workshops of all sizes were established in Ueno Castle, Hiyama Castle, Komatsuyama Castle and other places, and more than 7,000 iron cannons were produced in a year, and in three years, the Tsugawa family had saved 20,000 muskets, excluding the muskets sold to the outside world.

In terms of ships, the Tsugawa family has gathered all the shipbuilders in the territory and worked overtime to build ships, and has prepared more than 2,000 large and small ships.

According to preliminary estimates, the Tsugawa family now has the strength to support an expedition of about 50,000 people with a period of less than ten years. It can be said that everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, and now, the east wind is blowing.

.......

Although Hosokawa Fujitaka had been prepared, he was still taken aback by the scene in front of him. Standing on the castle tower of Ueno Castle, looking around, I am afraid that there are thousands of people standing in the black pressure below?

However, what Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't know was that among the more than 1,000 people below, only half of the retainers of the Tsukawa family accounted for the rest, and the rest were ..... It's all here to make up the numbers. Just kidding, these people are all guarded by Ueno Castle, and there are so many people on the scene, if something unexpected happens, it will be a big deal.

"The Daisuke Hall of the Ministry of War, when you come to the field later, you just need to walk to the steps outside the Honmaru, because there are too many retainers participating in the assessment, and the castle tower can't sit down, so this assessment will be carried out in the Honmaru."

"The lord is greeting the retainers at this time, this is the practice of every assessment. According to past experience, it is estimated that it will last a quarter of an hour or two, so there is no need to be nervous about the Daisuke Hall of the Military Department. "Inside the castle tower, Takigawa Kazuki is calming Hosokawa Fujitaka's nervousness.

Hosokawa Fujitaka let out a long breath, very excited, himself.... Are you going to pretend to be B in front of the retainers of the Tsugawa family in front of the Uezen Tsugawa family? Think about it..... How do you ... Why are you a little excited?

Nervous?

I'm nervous, little scene! Small scenes!
