From the moment Ashikaga Yoshiteru took over the feeling, Tsugawa Soji was a "veritable" leader, and he also served as the guardian of the Eight Kingdoms, and there was no second samurai with such power in the world.

Throughout the history of the samurai, there have been very few samurai who have reached the status of Tsugawa Soharu today.

After Tsugawa Soji, it was the turn of Takeda Nobutoyo and others and the Tsugawa retainers, and there was no need for Ashikaga Yoshiteru to continue to participate in these things.

Soji Tsugawa glanced at Osamu Yajima, who immediately understood, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Ashikaga Yoshiki's ear.

A flash of anger flashed across Ashikaga Yoshiteru's face, but he still stood up and said, "Everyone, I am unwell, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to Tsugawaden." After saying that, Ashikaga Yoshiteru left the main hall under the leadership of Yajima Jimitsu.

Aggrieved!

Quite aggrieved!

Such a general of Zhengyi, Ashikaga Yoshiteru would rather be improper!

The moment he walked out of the main hall, Ashikaga Yoshiki finally made up his mind to leave Kyoto as soon as possible, without delaying for a moment.

As soon as Ashikaga Yoshiteru left, the atmosphere in the main hall changed suddenly, and Tsugawa Soji didn't have to pretend, and went directly to the place where Ashikaga Yoshiki had just sat and sat down.

"All of you here are your own people, and I won't beat around the bush, and I have summoned you here today to reward your merits."

"Next, Sanada Gentazaemon will read your feelings."

"Hah!" Sanada Yutaka on the side had already prepared, and immediately stepped forward and knelt down next to the pile of feelings.

The first to make a reward was to join the Tsugawa family's side to jointly crusade against the Miyoshi family's wealthy people.

The Wakasa Takeda family is in first place.

As the first force in the region to establish friendly relations with the Tsugawa family, although the strength of the Wakasa Takeda family was average, Tsugawa Soji did not ignore the merits of the other party because of this.

Eventually, the territory of the Wakasa Takeda clan was added to the Wakasa Takeda clan and the Ichishiki clan was given an additional title to the Tango country, and the Isshiki clan was assigned to the Takeda clan.

In the next Hojo family, Tsugawa Soji only symbolically rewarded some money and food, and it was naturally impossible to get a territory or anything. First, the Hojo family did not "swear allegiance" to themselves, and secondly, it was impossible for the Tsugawa family to find a territory in the Kanto region and give it to the Hojo family.

Then there were the three families of Asai, Oda, and Matsudaira, who were vigorously fighting against the Imagawa family's Kamiraku, and each received thousands of rewards and a blockade.

In fact, Tsugawa Soji didn't want to be so picky, mainly because there was no land to seal at all.

Although it was said that he defeated Miyoshi Chokei and Imagawa Yoshimoto, the territory of the Miyoshi family and the Imagawa family is not under the Tsugawa family.

The only territories that Tsugawa Soji really controls now are Yamashiro, Settsu, and Kawachi, and the territories of other regions have not been occupied in the real sense, so Tsugawa Soji can't find a place to reward.

So in the incomprehensible eyes of Kenmasa Asai and others, Soji Tsugawa asked people to hand over a stack of documents full of words to Kenmasa Asai and others.

"Your merits should be rewarded, but now the territory controlled by this family is limited, and it is not possible to make corresponding rewards for the time being. These documents have recorded your merits, and we hereby promise that we will honor the rewards given to you in these documents within this year. ”

Kenmasa Asai opened the document in his hand suspiciously, and found that it was a letter of emotion, but unlike other sentiments, some paragraphs were blank in the middle.

For example, in a passage about the reward of the Asai family, the words "seal 200,000 stones" are blank before. In other words, the reward given by the Tsugawa family to the Asai family was to seal the 200,000 stone of Zhixing, but they did not decide where to seal the 200,000 stone.

"The blank space in the feeling will be written by my family in the future, and I ask you to understand the difficulties of my family, my family is here, please!" Soji Tsugawa continued to speak at this time.

In fact, if you really want to reward it now, the stone height of Settsu and other countries is enough.

However, in the event of the opening of Tsugawa Soji, the land of the near future would definitely be used as the basic territory of the Tsugawa family, so the territory of the country of Settsu must be held in the hands of the Tsugawa family.

Therefore, Tsugawa Soji had to find other places to reward his meritorious retainers.

"The reward for the retainers of the family has also been postponed, and it is too early to talk about the reward if it is undecided today."

"But there are a few appointments here to be announced." Soji Tsugawa got up and came to a map placed behind him, picked up a red pen and ticked a few circles on the map, then turned around and said, "Although Miyoshi was defeated, the rest of the sins are still in chaos in various places, and the Hatakeyama family assisted Miyoshi in the battle before, and now it is also for peace, and today the family will have to make an understanding." ”

"This time, the Shangluo family dispatched thirty legions, and the family intends to split and reorganize these thirty legions into three large legions."

"The first large army was headed by Akechi Hinata Mamoru as the general and attacked Shikoku with Settsu as its station. Shikoku is the base camp of the Miyoshi family, and only by capturing Sanki, Awa and other places can it be regarded as completely defeating the Miyoshi family! ”

"The second large army is headed by Hazu Saburo Guard, with Ise as the station, and is responsible for purging the wealthy families in Ise who refuse to surrender to their families!"

"The third army is headed by Hanhee and Izumi Mamoru as the general generals, with Hanoi as the station, and is responsible for destroying the Hatakeyama family."

"Hah!"

Akechi Mitsuhide and the other three had been summoned separately by Tsugawa Soji before, and they had already known about the appointment of the three and the content of this mission, so they were not surprised.

......

At the end of the assessment, some people are happy and some are worried.

The Wakasa Takeda family was undoubtedly the biggest winner, because only the Takeda family was rewarded "substantially". Takeda Shintoyo felt like he was floating when he walked at this time.

And the mood of others is mixed.

But in any case, no one dared to disobey the orders of Tsugawa Soji at this juncture, so even if they did not receive the long-awaited reward, the retainers of the Tsugawa family were still full of energy.

And for the Asai family, the Oda family and others, there was no extravagant reward at all. Because they are all "leading the party" who took refuge halfway, they are already very satisfied with being able to rely on the warship of the Tsugawa family. As long as the Tsukawa family can maintain this momentum and continue to develop, will they be able to benefit less in the future?

The three large armies soon began to move and went to their respective stations, and Sanada Yutaka and others also began to collect grain and grass in Kyoto and other places to prepare for the next round of warfare.

Soharu Tsugawa was completely unconcerned about the battle that followed, and during this time Soharu Tsugawa was busy receiving daimyo and envoys from all over the world.

Since the Tsugawa family fought against the destruction of Miyoshi and occupied a few of them, the daimyo from all over the country sent gifts to congratulate them and sent envoys to see Tsugawa Soji, expressing their willingness to make friends with the Tsugawa family.

Soharu Tsugawa was brewing a major event during this time, and that was the opening.

The Tsugawa family has developed to this point and has the strength to open.

However, the opening was not just a matter of opening the door, and the attitude of the daimyo from all over the world was particularly important, so Soharu Tsugawa decided to invite the daimyo from all over the world to Kyoto on May 5 this year.

Conquest by force alone, the Natsugawa family doesn't know how many more years it will take to unify the RB. Besides, there are so many forces in RB, and it is very troublesome to fight one by one. Therefore, Tsugawa Soji now needs to find a way to probe the tone of these daimyos, and see which forces support the Tsugawa family and which forces oppose his opening.

Tsugawa Soji, who supports himself, must naturally welcome it, and those who oppose it are the next targets of the Tsugawa family.
