In the second year of Yonglu, on the thirtieth day of the fifth month. Shortly after Asadachi sent an envoy to Kyoto, a retainer sent by Kenshin, Hiroto Biwajima (Nagao Keidori), arrived at Koe Castle.

"See the town government. I would like to invite you to visit the Echigo Imperial Palace. "Biwajima Hiroto didn't beat around the bush, and as soon as he entered the big wide room, he said straight to the point.

"The lord can't go! At this time, Echigo was not like before, and in the Ueda area, there were already 3,000 cavalry in the Ueda area, including the Fukuoji Shosuke, Nobosaka Kaga Mamoru, and Igarashi Kamisuke, and more troops were also being assembled. What is the intention of this move?! Namba Tian Kenji didn't want to say it in front of Hiroto Biwajima, but when he saw that Asada's hesitant appearance was a little hesitant, he immediately stood up and said.

"Nambada's attendant hall, the Goya palace kindly wants to ask the town government to go to Echigo to explain about the intention to rebel, if you don't go, then sit down." Biwajima Hiroto glared at Namba Kenji and said.

"Humph! What's the difference between going down and not going?! The number of troops concentrated in the Ueda area is increasing, and it can even cross the Three Kingdoms Card and enter Ueno at any time. Ota Shimasa snorted and said.

"Ota Saemon Saden's words are wrong! How did you know that the Goya Pavilion was used to go south? Don't always think about what you don't have. Biwajima Hiroshi said without blushing and without a heartbeat.

"Please reply to the Governor's Palace, just say that I have been ill recently and cannot go to the Echigo Mansion, I hope you will forgive me." After thinking about it, he still felt that it was not appropriate to go to Echigo at this time. If you leave, who will be in charge of the overall situation? The Takeda family in the west is ready to move, the large and small forces of Hitachi Province such as Oda and Satake in the east are preparing to be enemies with him, and there is an Odawara Ise family in the south that has not yet been destroyed, and Kenshin in the north will soon be in a hostile state with him······

"Then I will take my leave, I hope you will not regret it. The fact that you took in the Ryū clan, Tanaka clan, Ishiguro clan and others was still very angry when the Goya Gyoden learned about it. Coupled with the fact that you have already refused to go to the Echigo Imperial Palace once, the Goya Pavilion will definitely not let you go easily. "Biwajima Hiroshi didn't forget to say a word to Chaoding before leaving.

"My lord, if the Echigo army moves south to cross the Sangoka, Nagano Shinanoden and his sons-in-law in Nishi-Ueno will be exposed to the Echigo army. Numata Uenosuke of Numata Castle sent people one after another to ask the lord to send reinforcements to help defend the country. Zeng Youyou watched Biwajima Hiroto leave and said to Chaoding.

"Send someone to tell Nagano Shinanoden that his mission is to hold Nishi-Ueno and not let the Takeda family occupy an inch of Nishi-Umino. If the palace leader leads the army south, he will preserve his strength and surrender first. Chao Ding also thought about it for a while before saying it. He didn't want Nagano to suffer heavy losses after the death of Yoshimasa and Kenshin, causing Takeda Shingen to take advantage of the situation to attack Nishi-Ueno.

"My lord, the territories of the ministers and Omori-sama, Nishi-sama, Hosoya-sama, Honjo Musashuke, Ogasawara Hall, Momoi Izu Hall, etc., are all in Ueno, and if Nagano Shinanoden falls to the Governor's Hall, then the situation of the ministers will be ······." Soga Yushige didn't understand why Asadachi wanted Nagano Yomasa to surrender.

"In this case, I will first transfer some of you to the Supreme and Sagami. As a last resort, Ueno Kazukuni had no choice but to give up temporarily. Although Chaoding didn't want to do this, he didn't have the strength to fight with many daimyo at the same time.

"My lord, in order to let the family have no worries, let Tao O Zhang Mamoru and Naito Shu lead the army to the south with the Soma family and the Tamura family, as long as the Satake family is defeated and the pseudo general Ashikaga Fuji clan is killed. Then, the lords of Hitachi will stop for a while. Taking advantage of this time, the family can still hold the line of North Musashi. Although Ota did not say it explicitly, he also agreed with the idea of giving up Ueno Iskuni from the side.

"Could it be that the cost family wants to exchange the Ueno country for the Changlu country?" Hiroshi Nambada was a little unacceptable.

"Hitachi, a country? A little too optimistic. It's good that the family can destroy the Satake family, but which one of the daimyos such as Edo and Oda is a fuel-efficient lamp? Ota said helplessly.

"Not bad. In the end, Ueno Ichikuni was only used to exchange for peace, and he will not give up immediately. Ota Saemonzo went to take charge of the retainers of the old Nakajo family in the northern part of the country, including the repair of Tsukiji in Murayama-gun. Chaoding quickly thought of a way to reduce the strength of Qianxin.

"Yes!" Ota Shimasa immediately understood the meaning of the court. As long as the retainers of the old Nakajo family fell to the court, then Kenshin had to dedicate a part of his forces to guard against Aizu and set the direction.

"Namba Attendant, your mission is to lead the 8,000 Shangshu soldiers to attack Sagami, and be sure to capture all the branches around Odawara Castle! I will order Okabe, Asahina, and others to assist you. "Asada's plan is that it's time to settle accounts with the Odawara Ise family.

"Yes!" Kenji Namba has been waiting for this day for a long time. Finally, when he was able to lead an army alone as a general general.

"Duan Zang, you go on a trip to the Immortal Road and the Sea Road. Let Taoo Zhang Mamoru and Naito Shushu lead the army to invade Changlu with Soma and Tamura. "Asadaki doesn't plan to give the Satake family a chance. As long as the Satake family, which is the strongest in Hitachi Province, is defeated, then the Oda family, the Edo family, the Kashima family and other forces will invariably die down.

"Yes."

As soon as Biwajima Hiroshi left Kawagoe Castle, he immediately hurried to Echigo. And Takeda Shingen of Kofu is also rapidly mobilizing troops from all over the world to gather Kofu, preparing to wait for an opportunity to invade Okushinano in the north.

At the end of the appraisal meeting held in the court, which mainly focused on the genealogy of the Ogiya Uesugi family and the retainers of the retainers, Ichikawa Gentosai came to Kawagoe Castle.

"See the town government. You instructed the minister to look for the remaining Masaki clan, but the minister only found five people. Ichikawa Gentosai made a look of self-reproach.

"That's it, five people are five, it's better than nothing. The Masaki clan came from the Miura clan of Xiangmo, and if it weren't for the Odawara Ise family, they would still be retainers of the Uesugi family in Ogiya. Chao Ding said helplessly.

"The minister found the son of Masaki Daizen, and saw Shomu Iwa, Shou Michijun; Masaki Yorifang, grandson of Masaki Daizen and son of Masaki Iwamori; The son of Masaki Zuojin, the son of Masaki Zuojin, the general of Masaki Zuojin, the general Shitong of Masaki, the assistant of Shoki Sabu Shimori, and the Masaki Gongoro Yorizhong. Several of them are now waiting for Ninomaru. Ichikawa Gentosai didn't comment on the words of the court, and directly reported which people he found.

"After Masaki's meal?! That must be the tiger father without the dog! "Chaoding instantly came to the spirit.

"What the town government said is very true. Zhengmu Yan's courage to guard the temple was not inferior to his father, but it was a pity that before he became famous in the Saimi family, the main family was gone。。。。。。 Ichikawa Gentosai said helplessly.

"Isn't the princess of the Satomi family still in Kogoshi Castle? Toyohime was too young to have children before. I promise you, as soon as Toyohime gives birth to a boy, I will let him inherit the Satomi family and go to the shogunate, and let him fill the position of chief guardian. "The court will not let outsiders inherit the Satomi family.

"Thank you, Zhenfu!" Ichikawa Gentosai felt a lot more relieved when he heard Asada's words.

"Now that the two countries have been recuperating for so long, can they send troops and grain and grass to the total number of countries in the upper field, the lower field, and the lower field?" Chaoding immediately thought of the Boso Peninsula, which had become the "big rear".

"Kasawara, Kano and other generals have been running the two countries for a long time, and they can mobilize at least 8,000 troops to rush north to help all parts of the country without making a mistake." Ichikawa Gentosai gave a rough figure.

"In this case, let the five people come up and have a look first." Chao Ding plans to meet the few remaining members of the Masaki clan first.

"Yes."

Soon, the five of them slowly walked into the big room. Two of them were children under the age of 10.

"Xuan Dongzhai, these two children will stay with me as a small surname. A loyal servant cannot be left behind. "Chao Ding said so on the surface, but in fact he just wanted to keep them as servants. Ikeda and Nagano were already the standard for a lord, and they had to find a good replacement before sending them out.

"What the town government said is extremely true, Iwami Shoudian and Sabu Zhudian should have no objections." Ichikawa Gentosai said after pulling the sleeves of Masaki Michitoshi and Masaki Tokimori.

"It's an honor to be able to make a child a little surname of the town government! How can there be an objection? Michitoshi Masaki immediately understood what Ichikawa Gentosai meant.

"Zhenfu Gong, my younger brother is still young, so I'm afraid that he will cause you trouble." Masaki Shisheng said after looking at his younger brother Masaki Laizhong.

"I have more than a few surnames, and there are a few people who are the same age as them, so just let their seniors teach them, don't worry. Heyue City is not hell, what is there to worry about? Chao Ding said after smiling.

"I understand, my subordinates' doubts are gone." After listening to Chaoding's words, Zhengmu Shisheng had nothing to say now. After all, the youngest brother he was most worried about.

"Zhengmu Yan is guarding and giving you the land of ten thousand stones on the peak; Zhengmu Zuo is close to the general and will give you the land of Xingjin City to lead Wanshi Zhixing. Chao Ding was generous, and when he came up, he gave the two of them more than 10,000 stones of Zhixing, which is a rare treatment in the family.

"Thank you, my lord!" The two knew each other very well, and immediately changed their words to call Chao Ding's lord.
