Kudo Toratotaka didn't know until the end that he had been deceived by Takeda Shintora, and he was very angry. At this time, Takeda Nobuta ordered that all the defeated samurai who fled to Kai on the side of Genhiro Megumi's side should be killed on the spot.

Those who dare to harbor are guilty of the same crime!

Kudo Hufeng couldn't help it now, first betrayed and then first, and now he has to kill them all? Because of the guilt of what happened before, Kudo Toratoyo decided to do something to make up for it, so he made a blunt admonition.

However, Kudo Toratoshi obviously overestimated his position in Takeda Shintora's heart, and Kudo Torato's advice made Takeda Tora furious and ignored it at all. At this time, Fukushima Masari's family just fled to Kai Province, and Kudo Toratoyo took in Fukushima Masari's family in order to make up for the debt in his heart.

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Kudo Toratoshi here has just taken in the Fukushima family, and Takeda Shintora over there already knows it. So in a fit of rage, Takeda Shintora immediately sent troops to attack the Dondo family, Kudo Toratoshi and the Naito Torano of the clan desperately protected the Fukushima Masanari family and escaped, and the Kudo Torato's family escaped except for their two sons, Kudo Masasuke and Kudo Yucho, and the whole family was killed.

The brothers Massuke Kudo and Yucho Kudo then began a years-long wandering journey, covering Kanto, Hokuriku, and several nearers, and even once if it wasn't for Kudo Massuke's illness, the two brothers went to Kyushu, all just to get away from Kai Country and then find a place where they could revive their family's name!

A few months ago, after the two brothers in Ueno Province who were "fighting the sword to the end of the world" heard that the civil strife in the Oshu Date clan was in full swing, they wanted to try their luck in the territory of the Date family, maybe they could get ahead with their own talents or something.

As a result, as soon as they arrived in the territory of the Date family, the civil strife in the Date family ended. In desperation, the two brothers learned from a traveling merchant that the Hatsugawa family in Kita-Oku, who was more distant, was recruiting samurai, and decided to set off.

It's a pity that when the two of them went to Jiangshu County, they had no money! At this time, a mob attacking a nearby village passed by, and Kudo Shosuke and Kudo Yucho pretended to "join the gang" and followed the mob to eat. Born as a samurai, he has to sigh at the impermanence of the world when he is in such a situation.

And then, the previous scene happened.....

Oh yes, Yucho Kudo also has a name in history that NB coaxed - Masatohiro Naito!

......

The cold wind of Okuwa blew through the Okuwa Mountains, accompanied by Tsugawa Soji and others all the way, and finally came to the Mikuni Minato of Echizen Province.

Originally, according to the speed of the two Nanban merchant ships under the seat of Tsugawa Soji and others, Tsugawa Soji and the others should have arrived in Wakasa Province, but when passing through the Echigo Nagao family territory, Tsugawa Soji went to Kasuga Mountain Castle on a whim.

The head of the Nagao family, Haruki Nagao, was both happy and annoyed by the sudden visit of Soji Tsugawa.

Happily, the visit of such a powerful "neighbor" as the Tsugawa family in person was undoubtedly very beneficial to the relationship between the Nagao family and the Tsugawa family, and the Nagao family was also at a critical moment at this time to make the final battle with Echigo guardian Uesugi Dingshi. And the territory of the Tsugawa family is right behind Uesugi Dingshi, close to the territory of the Uesugi family's "younger brother" Dahoji family.

If Tsugawa Soji's visit is to wait for an opportunity to publicize it, I am afraid that many people who are on the side of Uesugi will change their positions, right?

Annoyingly, the iron cannon that the Uesugi family purchased from the Tsugawa family at great expense last time was finally found to be impossible to imitate after the study and pondering of dozens of skilled craftsmen of the Nagao family. Of course, it's not that it's completely helpless, but that Nagao Ieichi can't make a sturdy and durable musket. Second, the Nagao family simply didn't have enough gunpowder and lead pellets, and even if they made iron cannons, they were probably no different from burning sticks.

Regarding Nagao Haruki's vague proposal to return the goods, Tsugawa Soji definitely can't agree. Of course, in order to take care of the face of the Nagao family, Tsugawa Soji had no choice but to express his willingness to give ten muskets to the Nagao family, well, there is no charge this time!

The current Tsugawa Soji is not afraid that other forces will also have muskets! Because muskets need ammunition, and now the entire RB is probably the only one with the Tsukawa family, which can be said to be the source of monopolizing the entire ammunition supply.

Sometimes Tsugawa even wondered if he could sell his muskets in advance, and then make money by selling ammunition, and at the same time, he could also disgust those forces that were hostile to him in the future.

Of course, that's just a thought. First, the Tsugawa family now relies on imported ammunition to survive, and I am afraid that the Tsugawa family will have to wait until the Tsugawa family can produce and sell it themselves.

During this period, Soji Tsugawa also took the time to meet with Nagao Keitora who had traveled from Tochio Castle to inquire about it. Obviously, Nagao Jinghu is still obsessed with Tsubaki Hime, the adopted daughter of Tsugawa Soji, if it weren't for his thin skin, I'm afraid that Nagao Jinghu would have knelt directly in front of Tsugawa Soji and shouted at his father-in-law.

The marriage with the Nagao family was of great help to the Tsugawa family. The Tsukawa family wants to go to Luo, and if they want to fight out, first of all, the forces such as Date in the Ou region must be eliminated. The second is the Kanto region, and once the Tsugawa family unifies Okuwa, having the Echigo Nagao family as an ally can share a lot of pressure for the Tsugawa family.

Not to mention who is Long-tailed Jinghu? Is it salted fish? Of course not! That's the goods that can inherit the name of the Yamauchi Uesugi clan and sweep the Kanto region, and it's a god teammate for the Tsugawa family! Of course, Soharu Tsugawa would not turn away the Nagao family who came to the door.

After staying in Kasuga Mountain Castle for four or five days, Soji Tsugawa bid farewell to Nagao Harukei and the others and continued their trip to Shangluo. Originally, according to the plan, Tsugawa Soji and his entourage would also stop by the Hatakeyama family in Noto to strengthen the connection between the two families and strengthen exchanges for future maritime trade. However, at this time, the former governor of the Hatakeyama family, Hatakeyama Yoshisu, was newly mourned, and the successor Hatakeyama Yoshisugu could not convince the public, and a rebellion broke out within the Hatakeyama family. In order to avoid trouble, Tsugawa Soji had no choice but to skip Noto and go directly to the Asakura family.

After disembarking from the Three Kingdoms, Tsugawa Soji was warmly greeted by the Asakura family. However, due to the health of the head of the Asakura family, Asakura Takakei was unable to go to Sangokuto in person, so the young head of the Asakura family, Nagayasha, and Asakura Keiren, Aoki Keiyasu, and others, who had previously sent envoys to the Tsugawa family, came to Sangokuto to greet Tsugawa Soji and his party as the famous representatives of Asakura Takakei.

As soon as he got off the boat, Soji Tsugawa saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Lord!" Yamaguchi Nagakyo won from the crowd, perhaps after months of training, Yamaguchi Nagakyo has long lost his original immaturity, and he is much more mature than before from the appearance alone.

"Not bad!" Soji Tsugawa patted Yamaguchi Chokyo on the shoulder, and said with a kind face, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but you have grown a lot." How do you feel about these days at the Asakura family? ”

Yamaguchi Nagakyo had been stationed in the Asakura family for several months as a trade envoy and goodwill envoy, and Tsugawa Soji planned to establish something similar to an embassy among several other goodwill forces, such as Asakura, Hatakeyama, and Nagao, but everything had to start from scratch.

Yamaguchi Nagakyo scratched his head, and then said with a smile, "Back to the lord, it's nothing else, but I miss the barbecue meeting outside Ueno Castle a little!" ”

Soharu Tsugawa "........."
