Just as the Battle of Itsukushima came to an end, the Ouchi family was also destroyed by Mori two years ahead of schedule. Tao Qingxian and others left Zhou Fangguo under the escort of Kato Danzo, and arrived in Settsu after passing through Kyushu and passing through Shikoku.

At the same time, the Uesugi family's naginata samurai had also been recruited, and Namba Tian Kenji selected a hundred samurai who were very skilled in the naginagi sword technique, and then under the personal training of the court seta, they had already formed a preliminary combat effectiveness.

The naginatas they used were all the latest and best naginatas they had seized during the knife hunting, and they were all wearing the best and latest black lacquer marus. They usually run two laps around Takakujo Castle, the home city of Kenji Namba, in the morning, and the same in the afternoon. 3 meals a day. Like standing in line in the army, turning left and right, turning back and forth, all taught them. They were an important combat force for the Uesugi family in the field, which could surprise the enemy after the heavy infantry withstood the enemy's attack. And the rest of the ashigaru will not have such treatment, and after recruiting the ashigaru, the lord will issue them weapons and armor for them to fight.

And Chaoding also responded to the invitation of the dragon girl, and ordered the old man of the Bitou family, Ota Shimasa, and the old Nanba Tian Kenji to supervise the Uesugi family's military situation and territorial security for the remaining service. Because Kita rarely wanted to go to other places to play with Chaoding, and then Chaoding agreed. On October 1, Asadachi brought Kita with him, and the escort consisted of a hundred saber cavalry from the Kawagoe Knights, with Nambada Hiroyoshi as the general.

On October 15 of the first year of Hongji, Jieshan Yunkatsu arrived at Mino. And was received by Michizo Saito. When Michizo Saito saw that Katsuyama Yunkatsu was so young, he couldn't help but despise the Uesugi family a little.

"Poor monks, see Mino Mamoru Saito-sama." Katsuyama and his entourage brought dozens of swords into Inabayama Castle, and the war horses were handed over to the retainers of the Saito family.

"The Uesugi family is from the famous Fujiwara, why did they keep the little girl for themselves for several years?" Saito Michizo didn't have a good attitude.

"As far as the poor monk knows, after the Uesugi family retreated from Musashi Province to Echigo Province, they took the three prefectures of Aizu in a short period of time with the help of the forces of the Nagao family, and now they have defeated all the forces that opposed the Uesugi family in Aizu. The Uesugi family's stone height has reached more than 140,000, and it is not impossible that he will be able to unite with the Nagao family in a few years. Jieshan Yunsheng is very calm.

"It's just a few counties in South O's, what is there to brag about?" Saito Yoshiryu, who was sitting first on the right side of Saito Michizo, said deliberately dissatisfied.

"Can you brag? Then in the battle of Kawanakajima, the Uesugi family annihilated the Takeda family's important combat force, the Red Reserve Army, with iron cannons, and thousands of Red Reserve troops were all killed. Even after the death of Iitomi Toramasa and others, the Takeda family's retainers, Takeda Harunobu could only use the Imagawa family to stop the war. "Jieshan Yunsheng knows that the people here are just a little dissatisfied with their lord's actions, and they think that if they want allies, they should be the closest.

"This ......" If he gave Saito Yoshiryu a hundred iron cannons, he would not be able to achieve such a record, and he would not speak.

"Hahaha! I know the ability to repair the doctor, and I can't fight the Takeda family's Akabi and win a big victory. I accepted these gifts, but since the little girl has become the side room of the repair doctor, the family can't say nothing! Come, bring up a hundred iron cannons! Saito Michizo got up directly and walked to the side of Jieshan Yunsheng.

"Mino Mamoru Lord?" Jieshan Yunsheng didn't understand Saito Michizo's approach, could it be that the Saito family had no enemies?

"These cannons are all up to date, including the 3,000 rounds of lead bullets at the time of purchase, all of which were given to the Uesugi family! The big fool of the Oda family, I have already accepted the daughter of the retainer to marry him, and Dr. Uesugi is young and promising, and I believe that he can use these iron cannons well. "Saito Michizo doesn't think it's useful to keep these iron cannons for himself, but it's useful to give them to the court!

Since Guidie became the first side chamber of the dynasty, the Shotokuji Kaimeng did not appear, and the relationship between Saito Michizo and Saito Yoshiryu was not too strained. And most of the retainers are very much in favor of marrying the Uesugi family, Saito Michizo was born as an oil seller, and if he can let his daughter marry into a famous family, he will have a lot of face on his face.

"I just underestimated the Uesugi family, so I should apologize-" Saito Yoshiryu took a sword in the hands of his retainers.

"What is this?" Jieshan Yunsheng didn't know much about Taidao, so she didn't know what it was.

"Izumi is both determined, and there is also an inscription engraved on the hilt: The one who fights the soldiers opens the array." Saito Yoshiryu opened the wrapped black cloth himself and pulled out the blade of the knife to show Jieshan Yunsheng.

"That really made the Saito family break the bank, the poor monk came this time to make amends and apologize to the Saito family, I didn't think I could bring back the gift." Jieshan Yunsheng has learned these polite words.

"It's okay, the tigers of Owari are all dead, and Mino has no enemies for the time being." Saito Michizo is very relieved that his acre and three points of land are still in the midst of civil strife in Rokkaku Province, and Asai in Ehoku wants to break away from the control of the Rokkaku family; Minami Shinano's Takeda did not yet dare to march towards Mino, but marched towards Ueno; The missile country sister trail and Jiangma in the north are still in the dead; Owari, located south of Mino, was caught in the power of a bunch of Oda.

"Yes, the poor monk will retire." Jieshan Yunsheng knew that he had completed the task and was not ready to stay in Mino.

"Someone, escort the monk away." Michizo Saito didn't want the diplomatic monk to die in his own Mino, in which case he would be at odds with the Uesugi family, and the Nagao family's territory was only two counties away from Mino (Azumi-gun in Kita-Shinano and Masuda-gun in Hida Country).

"Yes." Immediately, the two samurai at the door took the initiative to follow behind Jieshan Yunsheng.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After ten days, one hundred and three people arrived at the foot of Echigo's Kasugayama Castle. Of course, the 100 samurai cavalry armed with the naginata sword accompanied by the dragon maiden had already received the information and waited for half a pillar of incense in the castle town. Kita was only seven years old, and Asadachi could only let her ride with him and let her sit on her side.

"It turns out that the repair doctor has a crush on which girl from the martial arts?" The dragon girl knew that many retainers wanted to get married to the retainers of the Uesugi family, but she didn't expect that the court in front of her, who was wearing a black court dress and a high hat, still liked young girls!

"No, this is a confidant's child. When she heard that I was going to Luo, she wanted to go, so I took it with me. Chao Ding could only smile bitterly, of course he had no thoughts about young girls at all, and he would not be able to do that kind of thing until Lori grew up and developed.

"Alright, let's go." This time, the dragon girl let thirty Ji warriors carry all the little golden judgments on their backs! And the number will not be less than two thousand.

"Yes." Chao Ding had no choice but to continue on his way, and this time the white-robed knights certainly carried a lot of money with them. The route is to take a boat from Echigo Naoetsu to Wakasa Province and then disembark. Of course, the ships are the two few ships of the Longtail family.

Fortunately, the route was along the coast, otherwise these people like Chao Ding's men would have fainted to death. Many of the Uesugi samurai were landlubbers, and some had never even been on a boat in their lives!

The route is said to be far away, but it is said to be close to it. The current general is Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but Asadachi only brought gold and silver and forgot to bring a sword! This made the accompanying military god girl despise for a while. After thinking of the boy Che Angang that Uesugi Kenmasa had given him, he could only use this sword he carried with him to 'pay tribute' to the shogun.

When the military god girl and Chao Ding's group of 200 male and female cavalry disembarked, of course, the two of them left 50 people each on the boat to watch the ship. Of course, some of the food money is still left for them.

It took nearly five days for Asadai and the military god girl to pass through Takashima-gun and Shiga County in Omi Province before entering Atago (remembering a certain ship woman) in Yamashiro Province. Along the way, the scene seen by Asada, the military god girl and others was even more miserable than that of Kanto, Echigo and other places that had been caught in the war!

When I saw Heiankyo, it was not the same paradise as before, and if I compared it, I would only use the newly unearthed cultural relics, which were antique but full of dust.

The streets on the outskirts of Heiankyo are full of abandoned houses after the war, and the roadside is overgrown with weeds. If you go to the side and smell it, you can smell the decomposing corpse. There are also a lot of faintly visible white bones around the house. Although Asadaku had known about the desolation of Kyoto before, he didn't expect it to be like this! Those who were still alive knelt on the side of the road and begged, and if they were lucky, they could get a few pennies from the hands of samurai and merchants.

"Repair the doctor's hall, those people are so pitiful." After seeing this, Kita realized how comfortable it was to stay at home.

"There are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, but that's it." Chao Ding could only shake his head, for such a scene is inseparable from the Ouchi family, the Miyoshi family, etc., plus there is no one to manage after the Yingren Rebellion and so on.

"Doctor Repair, I'm going to see the Emperor later. You and I are both officials under the four, and we have no extra money to give. "The dragon girl is indeed a little childish, she is also wearing a wide black court dress this time, but hers has some red edging, and she is not fixed.

"Then I'd better continue to be a repair doctor from the fourth." Chaoding dismounted first, and then came down with Kita in his arms.

"Then we'll see you later." The dragon girl came this time to obtain the purpose of crusading against Hojo and Takeda, and she really didn't have any extra money.

"Well, I'll give you the money, and every beggar you see here will give one." Asadachi handed a bag of copper coins from one of the white-robed knights to Kita.

"Good!" Kita happily opened the bag and gave money to the beggars. Since there were white-robed knights on the side, no one dared to come up directly and ask Kita for it, so they could only stay where they were and wait slowly. They knew that the samurai were not vegetarian with swords in their hands, and that they were cut down here and that there was no Metsuke and the Ashikaga family to take care of them. Just after Kita sent out fifty copper coins, the dragon girl came out.

"Let's go, the next stop is the Shogun's mansion." The dragon girl walked out with the Lun Zhi in her hand.

"Kita, it's time for us to go." Asadaki called Kita back.

"But they're really pitiful." Kita couldn't bear to watch them starve to death or get sick. She didn't seem to know that this was what Yamashiro was like, and that continued until Oda Nobunaga's Kamiraku.

"I've got a way!" Asada thought that the number of standing troops he had on hand was not large, and he could not recruit too much from Aizu, otherwise he would be less productive.

"Do any of you want to go to Echigo or Aizu?" Chao Ding walked to the middle of the street and shouted, and nearly a hundred beggars came over like this.

"My lord, Echigo Province is a little far away!" A man in tattered clothes was complaining.

"It's okay, you can call all your fellow villagers or acquaintances who don't want to stay in Gyeonggi, and the travel expenses are here!" Chao Ding put all the 2,000 small gold judgments and 10,000 copper coins he was carrying on the ground.

"Now everyone will go back and call someone they know, and when the time comes, they will be able to settle there when they go to Echigo. Only Echigo is the safest country in Hokuriku Province right now. If anyone arrives in Echigo first, give them two months' rations! The court sent people to distribute the copper coins first, and then the people who were called after a stick of incense were also distributed and left the intersection. And the remaining 2,000 small gold sentences, of course, were given to the shogun.

On the same day, they arrived outside the castle of the Nijo Imperial Palace. Probably thanks to the support and sponsorship of daimyo such as the Rokkaku family, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was able to repair Nijo Castle well. Although there is no money for painting, it is good to have some defensive ability.

Naturally, Chaoding and the Dragon Maiden's subordinates were left on standby outside the city, and Kita could only temporarily hand over the Dragon Maiden's Ji Samurai to play with her. Of course, the gifts and money were brought into the castle by the shogunate's Ashigaru. Under the guidance of Isshiki Fujinagu, Asada and the dragon girl entered the Ohiroma and waited for the arrival of Ashikaga Yoshiki.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Nagatail Bullet Masa and Uesugi Repair Doctor." After waiting for a while, Ashikaga Yoshiteru finally finished freshening up and came out.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the General, I wish the General an early command of the world's martial arts!" After the military god girl said this, Chao Ding had no choice but to follow along, because he had never been to Luo.

"Yu knows that the Nagao family has been a loyal minister of the shogunate since the ancestors, and although he has had a little holiday with the Kanto steward family and the Echigo Uesugi family, this is all in the past." Ashikaga Yoshiki deliberately said that the series of joint battles between Nagao Weijing and the Uesugi family was 'a little festival', and it is estimated that he could only change his words when he saw a bunch of small gold judgments on tribute.

"Your Royal Highness the General, this boy Kirian Tsunade will be given to you who love kendo as a gift from the Aizu Uesugi family." Asadachi handed the sword in his hand to Isshiki Fujicho and handed it to Ashikaga Yoshiki, who was sitting on the main seat.

"Let's take a look." Ashikaga Yoshiki got it in his hand and couldn't wait to take it out and look at it carefully, and kept saying, 'Good knife, good knife'.

"Sure enough, it's a good knife, and Yu knows that the Uesugi family has killed the self-proclaimed guardian of the rebel Ashina Mori clan for the shogunate. As a reward, what job does the Uesugi family want? "Ashikaga Yoshiteru's deal is a good deal.

"Thank you, General!" Asada had no choice but to say nothing, and if he didn't look at a big cat loyal to the imperial court and the shogunate on the side, even if Ashikaga Yoshiteru gave him a broken tea bowl, he could only accept it. And Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who is only twenty-one years old like himself, is an official position and service several levels higher than himself, which makes Asadaki a little unhappy.

"By the way, Ling Zun didn't get a service when he passed away. The traitor Ise family dares to call themselves Hojo?! What a shame for the shogunate! Of course, Ashikaga Yoshiteru knew what happened in the Kanto region, and he also knew that Hojo Sakumo had also entered Izu Province with the support of the Imagawa family.

"Then please ask the Shogun to grant the minister the position of 'Musashi Guardian', and Nagao Danmasa also has the position of Echigo Guardian, but there was a position of Echichu Guardian in the past. The minister would like to ask the general to grant the minister and the long tail bullet masa Musashi and the protection of Vietnam and China respectively! "Chaoding's departure made the dragon girl blind, and the dragon girl originally had no idea of going west.

"Well, Yuezhong has been violated by these thief monks of Yizong, and I hope that Doctor Uesugi and Nagatail Danzheng can calm Yuezhong and exterminate the rebel Hojo." Ashikaga Yoshiteru is also happy to give (sell) the shogunate's position in this way, although the position of the imperial companion cannot be given, but the guardian position is possible!

"Obey orders!" When the dragon girl saw that she was completely sold by Chaoding, she could only thank her, and she waited to go out and talk to Chaoding about her 'ideal of life'.

After arriving at the Oteemon Gate of Nijo Castle, the military god girl finally broke out.

"Why did you ask me to pacify that mess in Vietnam? If it weren't for my father's revenge, I wouldn't have gone to Etsuchu! The dragon girl glared directly at Chao Ding and said.

"Isn't that great? The Takeda family is encroaching on Ueno Province, and if the Nagao family does not annihilate Jimbo and Ichijomune, who are friends with the Takeda family, Echigo will be in danger. "Chaoding's words have touched on the sore spot of the Dragon Girl, the Long Tail family is the guardian generation of the two generations of Yuezhong, but when it comes to the Dragon Girl's generation, there is no more. It's not that the dragon girl is too lazy to call herself, it's that she doesn't have time to call herself!

"The only country in Vietnam and China that is really towards the Nagao family is the Tufei family, and the Shiina family is also about to move, and I heard Xuanyuan's intelligence that they have formed an alliance with Takeda Harunobu." Although the dragon girl hates betrayers very much, she can't be ruthless! Hojo Takahiro, who has always been opposed, also went to the Uesugi family under the intermediary of the court to let himself worry a little more.
