Chapter 459: Tsugawa Soji
"Oh, Sardillo, my friend, long time no see." In the castle tower of Ueno Castle, Tsugaru warmly embraces Shadillo, a Portuguese merchant with brown-red hair, who is a Westerner who has brought Tsugaru his family's skills such as Nanban ships and iron cannons.
"Tsugawa-sama, it's been a long time since I've seen you, but you're still so energetic." Chardillo didn't seem to be in high spirits, probably because he had just disembarked, after all, it took a long time to drift at sea. And strangely, Shadilo called Tsugaru Shin Tsugawa-sama.
"Good day, Shadillo!" A white blonde man next to him greeted Sandillo.
Shadilo quickly changed his decadent countenance, drew a cross with his hands, and reverently bowed his head to greet him: "Good day, Father Obani, the Lord is with you." ”
"The Lord is with you!" Father Albani was a Western missionary, and according to the agreement between the two families, Portugal provided technology and Western cannons, and the Tsugaru family provided gold and silver and other goods, as well as allowed to build churches and carry out missions.
"Hehe... What does the Lord have to do with you? Whenever I see this picture, Tsugaru can't help but complain in my heart. But it doesn't matter, just preach, all he needs is Western cannons.
"By the way, my friend, won't it take you two or three years to return to Portugal? How did you come back in less than a year this time? "It's a little strange that Tsugaru believes that he shouldn't have come back so soon. And he spent a lot of money to prepare to purchase a hundred Western cannons again to deal with the future naval battle with the Hosokawa family.
At present, there are quite a few of his Nanban ships, but only fifteen of them are equipped with Western cannons, which shows the scarcity of these cannons.
"Hey... It's hard to put into words, but when I returned to India this time, I heard very bad news. Charillo's expression darkened again, and in an instant it seemed as if he had aged ten years.
"Could it be that the procurement of cannons is not going well? Your country has not approved it? My friend, help me to help your interests in Japan. As soon as Tsugaru heard the bad news, he naturally thought about artillery.
"Hey... I want to help you too, but it's a pity...", as she spoke, Charileo squeezed out two tears.
"Humph! Don't act with me here! If you have any requirements, just mention! Want money? Or do you want things! But don't go too far! Tsugaru suddenly sank his face and scolded these profiteers in his heart.
"No, no, no... Tsugawa-sama, you misunderstood. In fact... Actually... Now I'm afraid in China... I don't have the heart to care about East Asian trade. Shari waved his hand again and again, and quickly clarified.
"Don't care about East Asian trade? What do you mean? Didn't you always want the gold and silver of Japan? Tsugaru was surprised by the letter, and didn't understand what the other party meant.
"Uh... Ay... I'll tell you the truth. I just got the news that when my prince went to Morocco, unfortunately... Killed.... The throne is now vacant in the country, and it has become a mess, and all affairs have been put on hold, including East Asia, of course. "Charillo 1510, the original truth.
"Damn!" Tsugaru secretly said in his confidence, regretting not to start earlier.
"Tsugawa-sama doesn't have to worry too much, once the country stabilizes, I will submit the application for the sale of the cannon as soon as possible." Sharilo saw Tsugaru's remorseful expression, and hurriedly spoke out to comfort him, he is his own God of Wealth.
"Stability? Hehe... It's strange that it can be stable, the throne is vacant, I'm afraid it will cause another dispute, and there is still air traffic control my cannon! Tsugaru complained again in his heart, it seemed that he could no longer count on the Portuguese.
"Tsukawa-sama, you now have fifteen warships and ninety cannons, so it should be more than enough to deal with the Hosokawa family, right?" Obani has lived in Japan for a long time, so he naturally knows the strong strength of the Tsugaru Water Army.
"Of course, it doesn't need to be said! Not only is there more of my navy than the Hosokawa family, but they are also ocean-going ships with three sails, and their speed is faster than that of the ironclad ship, and it is a piece of cake to destroy them! Tsugaru raised his neck proudly, the Nanban ship is simply the nemesis of the ironclad ship.
"That is simply wonderful, I wish you to unify the day as soon as possible, so that the light of the Lord can purify the souls of those wretched people as soon as possible." Albani drew a cross, and Charillo prayed together.
"Well, Charillo has been drifting at sea for a few months, and must be tired, so let's go and rest first. As for the cannon, let's make a decision when your country is stable. With that, Tsugaru turned around and ordered the little surname behind him: "Immediately call all the retainers of the family to come to discuss the matter!" ”
"Then we won't bother, farewell." Charillo and Albani exchanged glances and retreated.
Three days later, all the retainers of the Tsugaru family, as well as the daimyo and wealthy clans belonging to the Tsugaru family, gathered at Ueno Castle for the largest evaluation meeting.
"See the lord!" The large room was full of people, and this was not over, many low-ranking people lined up outside the hall, and even the courtyard was full of retainers.
"I think you've all heard that the main family and the Hosokawa family fought on Sado Island, successfully defeated the enemy's ironclad ship, and annihilated more than 8,000 people from its water and land armies, which can be described as a great victory!" Tsugaru deliberately doubled the number of people.
"Oh!" The ministers below looked at each other excitedly, and there was no doubt about the strength of the Tsugaru family.
"Now that we've met, our family won't hide it. I decide! Immediately restore the ancestral surname Tsugawa! From now on, I'll be Tsugawa Jiro Soji! ”
Soji Tsugawa suddenly got up, pulled out the saber on his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "This family is hereby announced!" Down with the Hosokawa family! Wave the army to Luo! Complete the hegemony of the Unification Day's Ben! ”
"Oh!" The retainers bowed down in unison, and their hearts were extremely excited, and this moment had finally come.
Soji Tsugawa looked at the ministers kneeling below, smiled with satisfaction, and enjoyed this beautiful moment that belonged only to him.
Soji Tsugawa was originally an orphan adopted by the Oura family, and no one knew his origin, and the Oura family was just a low-level samurai family at that time. Hosokawa Nobumoto traveled to the Tohoku and took Oura Nobunobu and Oura Noshin with him, and the Oura family lost its heir, so he adopted him as an adopted son to continue the Oura family.
Later, Soji made great efforts to unify the Tsugaru region with his own efforts, and in order not to have the same name and surname as the Hosokawa family's Oura Noshinobu, he changed his surname to Tsugaru to show the difference. In fact, it is also to highlight himself, which means that he is a hundred times stronger than the unicorn who was taken away by Hosokawa Nobumoto.
Now, he claims to be originally from the Aizu Tsugawa clan and is the second son of the family, so he joined the Oura family and inherited his family business. Later, the elder brother of the main family died in a battle n years ago, and the heir of the Tsugawa family perished, so he decided to restore his ancestral surname. In fact, no one knows if it's true or not, just like Tokugawa Ieyasu's original name was Matsudaira Motoyasu.
Similarly, the restoration of the surname "Tsugawa" by Soji Tsugawa was not simply for the continuation of the Tsugawa family. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
