(His uncle, WPS, this cheating daddy's goods, tossed all my cloud documents.) Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info。。。。。 It's so sad.,521 to 525 drafts are all gone.,I'm really sorry for everyone.,I'll tell you some of the general plot.,

It was the Saito clan who succeeded in returning to the territory with the help of Hojo. Katsuie Shibata faints after receiving bad news. And Wise Kogoro returned to Maebashi Castle, because the Shibata family had fallen into a crisis of being ownerless, so Kanamori and others sought to win the support of Wise Kogoro in order to make Shibata Katsuri the head of the family and resist Shibata Katsutoshi.

On the other hand, Wise Kogoro hated the kidnapping of the Hojo family and hoped to borrow the power of the Shibata family to rival the Hojo family, so he also pushed the boat down the river and wrote a letter to Oda Nobunaga, strongly recommending Shibata Katsuri as the heir of the Shibata family. And the reward he asked for was to make himself the guardian of Shibata Katsuri during this time, exercising great power until the shogun ordered him to leave. In the end, after many rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Through analysis, Sato Ken understood that the person who stole the clothes before was Dai Yuancheng, and the person who attacked Takenomiya Hataro was also Dai Yuancheng, and when he was about to lead someone to ban the Katori Dojo, Dai Yuancheng disappeared! ）

From November 12 of the 12th year of Tensho, Akechi Kogoro began to temporarily manage all the military and political affairs of the Shibata family and the three Kanto regions.

In order to better stabilize the Shibata family, Wise Kogoro tried his best to win over Sakuma Morimasa and Kanamori Naga, leaning on him as his right-hand man, and constantly purging the family of disobedient people.

Later generations have given high praise to Mr. Wise's management during this time:

[In the past, the town guard general Wei Ren (wise Kogoro), consulted Shangzhou for more than a month, and achieved remarkable results. The criminal law is strict, and the politics and economy are smooth. The people are safe inside, and the south is outside. The wicked are punished, and the good are prominent. Land Detection Knife Hunting, Lezale City. New and old orders, be cautious. Therefore, the three states of Kanto, the government is harmonious, as in that day, it is for the great governance! 】

The person who said this was Emperor Meiji hundreds of years later, and when he visited the four prefectures of Nagano, Gunma, Kofu, and Yamanashi, he had a feeling.

In fact, the wise Kogoro governed the Kanto Three Kingdoms for just over a month, and when it comes to actual results, it cannot be reflected at all in just over a month. The only thing that can be used as a reference is that when he was in Ueno, the Kanto Three Kingdoms were still in order, the retainers could still perform their duties, and the Hojo clan did not dare to offend the side. As soon as he left, order in Ueno immediately began to be chaotic. Therefore, it can be seen that in a special period, if the group does not have a suitable core, then the probability of collapse is quite terrifying.

In addition, Emperor Meiji hoped to use this to appease the Akechi clan, who had the most power in the [Sachoi Triple Alliance].

Unlike the Satsuma Domain and the Aki Domain, which were both controlled by the Restorationists, the Choshu Domain was completely controlled by feudal lords and high-ranking retainers. Because before the [Black Ship Knock], he had been engaged in smuggling trade with foreigners all year round, and his financial and military strength was stronger than that of the Shimazu family and the Maori family. What disturbed the emperor the most was that neither the ideas nor the forces of the Restoration were mainstream in the Choshu Domain, and the reason why they were willing to participate in the War was simply because they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their power.

In the Boshin War, the Choshu Domain alone sent nearly 40,000 troops, which was more than the two Domains combined. After that, among the new government army, there were nearly 10,000 officers who came out of the Choshu domain. Among the various layers of the new government, the Choshu feudal clan occupies the confidential department, and the most exciting thing for His Majesty the Emperor is that although the new responsible cabinet has been formed, Minoru Sanjo, who was born as a minister, has not been in the position of prime minister for three months, and was squeezed out by Ito Hirobumi, the Choshu feudal lord nominated by Wise Mumitsu, which is really infuriating!

Not only that, Wise Muguang also has close contacts with Shimazu Tadayoshi and Maori Mototoku, relying on each other and promoting together. The three Chinese who were named dukes were jokingly called the "Three Dukes", and the "Three Dukes" had actually completely controlled Japan's national affairs, and even the Meiji Emperor himself was just a nominal [virtual head].

Since it is someone else's decision, speaking by himself, of course, it depends on the face of the person, and the emperor is nothing more than that!

。。。。。。

[My lord, add more oil, and there will be a bowl-shaped city ahead!] 】

[Well, I see, it's not easy to walk along the way, if it weren't for the protection of your adults, I, Saito Samasuke Guangtou, would have died on the road.] 】

Mitsuto Saito said as he glanced at the people around him.

The sweaty ninja Daizo Arai asked:

[My lord, the Shibata family has not reacted in any way so far, so we might as well take a break here. 】

[Nope.] 】

Mitsuto Saito shook his head softly,

[Now that the bowl castle and the Kamirugawa River are close at hand, I can't wait to return to the castle right away!] 】

[Hahaha! What a hurry! Well, in case we have a lot of dreams at night, we should go quickly! 】

Daizo seemed to understand, and slapped the horse's ass with a fan.

[So,]

Saito Mitsuto was quite interested, and said:

[Let's go home now!] 】

He couldn't control it anymore and laughed out loud.

For Mitsuto, Saito, who has suffered for so long in Maebashi Castle, all this is like a dream. He didn't expect that in the past ten days, the bowl city that he had been thinking about day and night would easily return because of the appearance of a group of ninjas.

Saito shines his head through the light, and everyone bathes in the glow of the sunrise, and with incredible emotion, they march towards the bowl-shaped castle. When they arrived at the city gate, a gust of autumn wind blew, and some people shivered with cold. Mitsuru Saito dismounted in front of the castle gate and handed the reins to Daizo Arai.

This gate, which is about 5 zhang 4 feet high and 2 zhang 4 feet wide, has experienced the Kanto crusade of Uesugi Kenshin and the Ueno invasion of Takeda Shingen and his son, and can no longer withstand the devastation of war. His ancestors and fathers all died in the war, and Saito revealed himself, but he also put down his self-esteem, bowed his head in front of the big man who changed the lamp, and endured it to this day.

Looking up from under the city gate, I heard the sound of the water of the Shenliu River, like the voice of a distant soul, which made the earth shake.

The arrow tower and the turret have been abandoned and dilapidated, and it is no wonder that since the Shibata Katsu family began to inspect the land, the Saito family has been in the hands of the Saito family less and less every day, not to mention the maintenance of armaments, and even many of the original samurai cannot afford to support them. Although the Shibata family realized the strategic value of the castle, it was difficult for them to intervene in the castle, so the four-foot-high stone walls were covered with weeds, and the eaves of the second gate were covered with birds' nests. Hikaru Saito stared at everything in front of him for a long time, and then raised his feet and entered the city gate. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to hold back his tears in front of everyone.

[I must revive the Saito family! ] 】

There was indeed no sign of soldiers in the city, and it was quiet everywhere. Even in the ancient city of barren grass, you can still feel the big battles that took place here back then.

Looking at the Kamirugawa, Ninomaru, the castle gate, and the imperial hall, Takeda Katsuyori once came here during the expedition to Ueno, and gave him a 6,000-stone security certificate in public to show his ownership of the castle. Now Takeda Katsuyori has long been a thing of the past, but the seal has been preserved by Saito Mitsuto.

There are a total of 158 samurai houses in the castle. Twelve military generals' mansions. There were 451 huts for the Ashigaru soldiers, and 34 were the official residences of the Ashigaru chief. There are twenty-six wells in the city, and there are three small moats around them。。。。。。 Every scenery here, every data, Saito is like a treasure!

He went straight into the city.

[The lord has entered the city! 】

When the men and women of the Saito clan and the soldiers and commoners who lived near the castle in the bowl castle heard the news, they immediately got up, and their performance was even more enthusiastic than the Saito retainers who came slowly. However, the ninjas did not let their guard down, and according to Arai's instructions, they sent people to guard the gates of the castle strictly, and a fire was lit in the courtyard.

Saito Mitsutoru was imprisoned in Maebashi Castle for many days, and the bowl castle had become a borderless land, until the arrival of the Hojo clan Takashi allowed the citizens to settle down and everyone burned the fire, announcing that Saito Mitsutoru was here, which was equivalent to putting up a flag.

[The lord is back! 】

By the time the important ministers had gathered in the city for a celebratory feast, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Speaking of the Hojo clan, in fact, he also came here only the day before yesterday, he was warmly welcomed by the soldiers and civilians in the city, in everyone's opinion, with the support of the Hojo family, Shibata Katsuya even if he was bold, he did not dare to easily attack the bowl castle!

There were enough supplies in the city, so the halls were brightly lit and the feasts were in good shape. Hojo Takashi and Saito Mitsuto, wanted to say a few words to a polite greeting, but Hojo Takashi was still wearing armor. When everyone returned to their seats, Mitsuto Saito first picked up the cup and came to Takashi Hojo:

[Hojo-sama, please leave everything to me from now on!] 】

Hojo's face was full of red light, he had never been so beautiful as he was now. Without thinking, he took the glass and drank it all.

[In the future, the Hojo family will coexist with the Saito family?! ] 】

(Co-prosperity and coexistence?) Sino-Japanese goodwill? ）

【It's really good sake】

He complimented as he handed the glass back to Mitsuru Saito. The hall was already filled with cheers. Mitsuto Saito walked up to Daizo Arai, the ninja who was escorting him back with a wine glass.

[To be able to live to this day, it is all your blessing.] 】

[Where, I'm just doing what I'm told!] 】

Daizo's face didn't have much expression,

[It's not tears, it's wine.] I ......]

He took a sip before putting down his glass and letting out a sigh.

[Anyway, if I can bring you back, I can be regarded as dutiful!] 】

Mitsuto Saito was in a good mood, he drank many glasses, and finally said:

[Now is not the time to completely relax, Shibata Katsuya is estimated to be mad now。。。。。。 This old immortal is a belligerent man, and we must watch out for him, at all times。。。。。。 (To be continued.) )
