Soharu Tsugawa has been thinking about how he should unify RB, which is in a state of chaos at this time.

The territory occupied by the Tsugawa family now includes the three kingdoms of Dewa, Mutsu, and Sado, plus the places of Settsu, Yamashiro, Kawachi, Tamba, Tango, and Harima, which were captured after Joraku, and the direct leadership is close to the ten countries.

At present, the remnants of the Miyoshi family such as Awa, Sanki, and Awaji are also being attacked, and the Yamato, Kii, Ise, Omi, Owari, Wakasa, Echizen and other countries around Kinai are also vassals of the Tsugawa family, plus the psoriasis of Kanto and the Nagao family of Echigo, the Tsugawa family has unknowingly compiled an extremely large network of relationships.

The Tsugawa family's determination of the world is already a sure thing, so the main question in front of Tsugawa Soji is how to unify the world?

Is it by war?

Or is it politics?

The war is very simple, with the current strength of the Tsugawa family, if it is really to be fought, it will be able to sweep away other forces in less than ten years. But the problem is that years of war are likely to bring themselves to a breakdown, and since ancient times, none of them have ended well.

But if you rely on politics alone, it seems a little unrealistic, because there are so many famous people in the world, there will always be one or two stubborn people.

After discussing with Sanada Yutaka and others for a long time, Tsugawa Soji finally decided to adopt the method of "winning over a group and suppressing a group", and then leveled the world with a two-pronged approach.

Therefore, the current top priority of Tsugawa Soji is to distinguish who can be co-opted and who needs to be suppressed.

This is the reason why Soji Tsugawa invited the world's daimyo to go to Luo together.

Since setting the tone, the Tsugawa family has been making intense preparations in Kyoto.

First of all, after years of war, the main body of Kyoto was severely damaged, and the first priority was to repair Kyoto. At the same time, it was necessary to prepare enough residences for these daimyo of Kamiraku to live in, so as to show the sincerity of the Tsugawa family.

Secondly, it is necessary to get the support of the imperial court and the shogunate, and to cheer for Tsugawa Soji behind the Tsugawa family and provide a name for righteousness.

In the end, it will depend on how Soji Tsugawa operates. After all, it is up to people to make things happen, and no one can say in advance whether this plan can be implemented smoothly.

The main task of the Tsugawa family in Kyoto was to prepare for this grand event, and elsewhere, the Tsugawa family's forces were not idle.

Akechi Mitsuhide, as the general of the 1st Army, led his army to attack the Shikoku region with the assistance of the Tsugawa family and the navy after repairing in Settsu for half a month.

There are 10,000 people in the ten legions under the command of Akechi Mitsuhide, and there are a total of 20,000 troops in Harima and Settsu countries. Successively divided into two groups and landed in the northern region of Shikoku Tianwu City, the defenders of Tianwu City were not prepared at all, and with the artillery support provided by the naval army, they captured this fortified city in only three hours.

In the Battle of Mihama Bay, the Miyoshi family navy was wiped out, and the Murakami navy that crisscrossed the Seto Inland Sea was also beaten to the point of crying dad and mother, and at this time, the entire Seto Inland Sea and Kii Waterway completely became the back garden of the Tsugawa family's navy.

With the support of the naval army, Akechi Mitsuhide blossomed in many places in Sanuki, and soon captured Kujukuyama Castle, Kanakura Castle and other places.

At the same time, Kono Tsunobu, the head of the Kono family of Iyo, personally led thousands of his family's troops to Tenki Castle to offer his knees to Akechi Mitsuhide, and at the same time expressed the Kono family's submission to the Tsugawa Right House Hall in Kyoto.

Akechi Mitsuhide, as the general of the Shikoku Pacification Army, had already granted him the right to "arbitrarily" in advance, so he quickly took over the Kono family's forces. Soon, the two armies converged and marched south from Tenki Castle and surrounded the vital Shirachi Castle at the junction of Sanki and Awa.

Shirachi Castle was the stronghold of Awa's Dainishi clan, and after being besieged for several days, the lord of the castle, Izumo Mamoru Yoritake, surrendered to Akechi Mitsuhide.

The next day, Tosa's Ichichijo Ichibo-dori led the allied forces of the Territory to Hakuchi Castle to join Akechi Mitsuhide, and the combined strength of the two reached more than 30,000 people.

Akechi Mitsuhide decided to divide his troops into two places, and Ichijo Bodori led the Tosa people to the east along the Yoshino River to attack Awa, while his own army went north to pacify Sanuki.

Wherever the Tsugawa family went, all countries looked forward to it, and in less than a month, Akechi Mitsuhide hit Shihe City, the home city of Shihe.

The Miyoshi family has been in a leaderless state since the death of Miyoshi Chokei, but with the efforts of the old Shinohara Nagabo, some of the loyal retainers of the Miyoshi family supported Miyoshi Yoshiko, the son of Miyoshi Chokei, to succeed him.

Miyoshi Yixing is only 15 years old this year, he has no prestige at home, and his family has been completely lost, and the minds of everyone in various countries have changed, and his family is extremely unstable.

In the face of the fierce offensive of the Tsugawa family and the Ichijo family, the Miyoshi family was powerless to resist at all, and could only watch as one city after another was inserted with the Tsugawa family's bellflower pattern, and there was nothing they could do.

The battle between Shikoku and Ise went unusually well, and the battle between Kii and Ise went very well.

The ten legions under the command of Hanhee Yoshitoki plus Tsugawa Soji let the Yamato Tsutsui family act as a force, with a total strength of 15,000 people. When they reached Kii, the Nerai people and the Saga people directly became the leading party, and soon the crusading army surrounded the last stronghold of the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi.

Hatakeyama Takamasa, the head of the Hatakeyama family, gathered thousands of peasants and soldiers to cage the city, trembling under the fierce offensive of the crusading army, and had no power to fight back.

It's only a matter of time before the city breaks.

In Ise, thanks to the identity of the Ise people from the Ise country, most of the people did not resist the Yukahide and took refuge in the Tsugawa family. Moreover, the Kitabatake family, the Ise Kuniji, also sided with the Tsugawa family, and in less than a month, they wiped out the recalcitrant people in Ise.

Recently, it has completely belonged to the Tsugawa family.

......

Kyoto, Ichijo-ichi.

Since Soji Tsugawa moved into the Ichijo Residence, it has become the main office of the Tsugawa family.

I got up early in the morning to discuss the restoration of Kyoto buildings with Sanada Yukitaka and others, and while I was having lunch, Soji Tsugawa summoned Asakura Keitaka of the Asakura family.

"The right palace has been cleared of the family in the next, but all the retainers who participated in the rebellion of Chaocang Zongjing and abandoned the right palace have been escorted into Beijing, and the right palace is also invited to fall."

Previously, Asakura Munekei intended to defect to Imagawa Yoshimoto and turn his back on Tsugawa Soji, but after the incident, he was captured by Asai Kenmasa and Asakura Keitaka. After the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Tsugawa Soharu sent Asakura Keitaka back to Echizen to control the situation.

Seeing that Asakura Keitaka had successfully completed the task he assigned, Tsugawa Soji nodded with satisfaction, "The right guard lieutenant did a good job." ”

"What is the proposal for how to Asakura Sokei and the others?"

Asakura Jinglong thought for a while and replied: "Asakura Zongjing will naturally die if he betrays the Right Mansion Palace, but after all, he was the head of the Asakura family before, and as a retainer of the Asakura family, he still hopes that the Right Mansion Hall can order him to apologize. ”

"As for the other retainers who participated in the rebellion, they should be executed in Kyoto."

"Hmm." Tsugawa Soji nodded, and said approvingly, "I originally planned to do the same, but now it seems that the right guard captain coincides with the family." ”

"Regarding the disposition of Asakura Zongjing and the others, let's do it according to the wishes of the right guard, and this matter will be handed over to you in charge."

"But right now, the position of the head of the Asakura family is vacant, I don't know who the right guard thinks can succeed the Asakura family?"
