However, what Ashikaga Yoshiharu didn't know was that although the things promised by Soharu Tsugawa seemed to be a pie, they actually had a deep meaning.

First of all, the three counties of Grosawa, Eji, and Iwai, which were promised by Tsugawa Soharu before, are now the domain of the Kasai family. Once Ashikaga Yoshiharu and the shogunate regarded it as the shogunate's imperial palace, then the Tsugawa family had enough reason to send troops to "help" the shogunate to recapture the three counties that had been "occupied" by the Kasai family, which was equivalent to giving the Tsugawa family an excuse to send troops to the Kasai family.

Similarly, Tagawa-gun is now the domain of the Daihoji family, a wealthy clan in the Shonai area. To build Tsuruoka Castle in Tagawa-gun, it was natural to defeat the Daihoji family first, and the main family of the Daihoji family was Echigo's guardian Uesugi Dingshi.

Once Ashikaga Yoshiharu sent Ashikaga Yoshito's younger brother (later Ashikaga Yoshiaki) to this place as the so-called "Tsuruoka Gongka", then the Daihoji family would either bow down to their vassals or resist stubbornly. And with the current prestige of the shogunate, it is obvious that the Daihoji family does not need the bird shogunate at all. Naturally, the shogunate also needed to rely on the power of the Tsugawa family to take Tagawa-gun.

In this way, the Daihoji family and the Echigo Uesugi family have already entered the "attack range" of the Tsugawa family and can send troops at any time. And if nothing else, the future son-in-law of Tsugawa Soji will also serve as the governor of the Nagao family in the seventeenth year of Astronomy, and then the Tsugawa family and the Nagao family will be able to attack left and right, and destroy the Echigo Uesugi family and the Daihoji family.

Soji Tsugawa is equivalent to finding a tiger skin, and this tiger skin is the Ashikaga family!

This is similar to Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven in the late Han Dynasty to order the princes. At that time, the emperor of the Han Dynasty also had no real power, and no one would take care of the Han family at all, but he had the reputation of righteousness. The Tsugawa family is now equivalent to having great righteousness, although it has not yet reached the level of bringing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but in terms of effect, it is also about the same.

In addition, Tsugawa Soji asked for the establishment of the "Tsuruoka Gongfang" for another purpose, that is, to lay the groundwork for Kamiraku in the future.

It is known that the historical Ashikaga Yoshito (Teru) was murdered to death by Matsunaga Shu and Miyoshi Sango. Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the younger brother of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, began to wander around, asking the nearby daimyo to support him and revive the shogunate.

At that time, Asakura and other forces turned a deaf ear to it, but Oda Nobunaga was the only one who resolutely sent troops. And it was precisely with this righteousness that the Oda family soon swept through several regions. Although this also has a lot to do with the strength of the Oda family itself, is the Tsugawa family just a salted fish?

Therefore, once Ashikaga Yoshiharu sends one of his sons to Dewa to serve as the "Tsuruoka Prince", then once there is a change in Kyoto in the future, the Tsugawa family can take advantage of the situation to support the Tsuruoka Prince!

Twenty years later, the Tsugawa family will only be stronger and more powerful than the Oda family in history. And in the case of the same righteousness, it can be expected that the Tsugawa family can easily sweep the world!

No matter how bad it is, the Tsugawa family can also divide the RB into two, just like during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. At that time, the Tsugawa family will dominate the north of the Kanto region, and then it will be up to each person to decide who will kill the deer. Even Oda Nobunaga, the "son of the plane", has to sigh in front of such a Tsugawa family!

But it is obvious that Ashikaga Yoshiharu will not know what Soharu Tsugawa is thinking.

Under the words of Tsugawa Soharu such a "temptation", Ashikaga Yoshiharu was quickly shaken.

"I have three sons, except for Kikutomaru, only the second son, Wakamatsumaru, is more suitable in age. However, I am ready to send him to the temple to become a monk, that is, I have to think about it in the long run! Ashikaga Yoshiharu said slowly, "Dewa lives far away in the northern country, not only is it inconvenient to travel and the shogunate can't take care of it at all, and then everything will depend on Jiro you!" ”

"The Great Imperial Palace can rest assured that although the stone high of Tagawa-gun is only 20,000 stone, it is still enough to know and act as the Tsuruoka Gongfang Palace. Besides, with the family on his side, who dares to disobey the Tsuruoka Gongfang Hall in the land of Okuba? Tsugawa Soji revealed a strong confidence in his words, and looked at Ashikaga Yoshiharu with excitement.

"That's it!" Ashikaga Yoshiharu took Tsugawa Soji's right hand with his left hand, and then stretched out his right hand and patted it heavily.

"Has Jiro ever been married?" Ashikaga Yoshiharu asked suddenly.

Tsugawa Soji was stunned for a moment, and then replied truthfully, "I am already married, and Mrs. Masamurai is from the Togo clan of the same county. There are several side rooms, and there are several children! ”

"That's ......." A trace of regret flashed in Ashikaga Yoshiharu's eyes, and he had to sigh, "If Jiro has never been married, I would like to adopt an adopted daughter, wouldn't it be beautiful to marry Jiro as a wife at that time?" ”

"Thank you for the good intentions of the Great Palace, but I am very affectionate with my wife, but I disappointed the Great Palace!" Soji Tsugawa hurriedly pretended to be sincerely frightened and said cautiously.

Let's not talk about whether Soji Tsugawa married a wife, and even if he didn't, he might not necessarily look down on Ashikaga Yoshiharu's adopted daughter. All the Tsugawa family needs is the signboard of the Ashikaga family, this empty shell, and the Tsugawa family is to tie the Tsugawa family to the broken boat of your Ashikaga family, and Tsugawa Soji is not stupid!

Of course, on the surface, Tsugawa Soharu still has to pretend to have an attitude of "bathing in heaven's grace", and Ashikaga Yoshiharu will naturally make Tsugawa Soharu less saliva at the same time!

Ashikaga Yoshiharu was obviously satisfied with the attitude that Tsugawa Soji showed in front of him, and nodded from time to time, "According to Captain Saemon (Asakura Sote), Dewa's trip also has the intention of Kamirakura?" ”

"Hah!" Tsugawa Soji was speechless for a moment, MMP, this Asakura Sodra had nothing to do, how could he say everything, "I originally thought that the Great Imperial Palace and the Shogun were also in Kyoto, so I was going to go directly to Kyoto." However, being able to meet the Grand Imperial Palace and the Shogun here saved a lot of trouble! ”

"Not really." Ashikaga Yoshiharu shook his head, "With Jiro's talent and the current strength of the Tsugawa family, you should go to Luo." ”

"I have a good relationship with Konoe, Yamashina and other ministers, and you can visit with my letter at that time, and naturally you can save a lot of trouble!" Ashikaga Yoshiharu said with a smile.

Tsugawa Soji hurriedly said with a grateful face: "Thank you for the Great Imperial Palace!" ”

Tsugawa Soji's thanks came from the heart, although the Tsugawa family could also smash this group of ministers dizzy with money, but some things could not be smashed completely by money. It can be doubled, but it doesn't make sense at all!

According to the regulations, under normal circumstances, the donations of the daimyo were carried out by the ministers such as Konoe and Yamashina, and the emperor did not come forward. So, if you have money and no way, you can't even find a place to spend it.

And now with Ashikaga Yoshiharu's letter, at least he can avoid a detour, and he really avoids a lot of trouble.

After some greetings, Tsugawa Soji got up very interestingly and said goodbye to Ashikaga Yoshiharu, leaving Ashikaga Yoshiharu to sit alone in the hall and look at the piles of gold and silver behind him in a daze. At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiharu even began to feel that sometimes too much money is a trouble!

At the same time, in the shadow of the beams above the main hall, a black figure flashed by............
