Chapter 169: The Fate of the Kanazawa Family

Talents are available but not sought, and Tsugawa Soji is still very clear about this, but for the talents who have come to the mouth, Tsugawa Soji will not let go. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

For example, the Shinbata family mentioned by the two just now, Kiuchi Nagari, Ogasawara Yasunaga and others, although Tsugawa Soji has not seen them with his own eyes, and he has not even heard of the name before, but since Saigo Kizo and Ogasawara Nobutoki, the two important ministers of the Tsugawa family, now value them very much, then it also proves that these people have certain talents, so of course Tsugawa Soji will not let them go.

Then, Soji Tsugawa continued, "The matter of talent will be left to the two of you, in addition to talents in internal affairs, ordinary samurai, and even ronin, as long as they can have a skill, or have combat experience, they can be recommended like me, and I will hire them according to the situation." ”

"Hah!"

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded and continued, "The matter of talent will be discussed here for the time being, and the other thing to discuss with the two of you is the matter of the family's standing lightness. ”

"I've already mentioned to Yoshikawa Hiroya, Mizutani Hisaharu and others about the formation of the five-color preparation of the family, I don't know what the two of you think about this matter?" After speaking, Soji Tsugawa set his eyes on the two.

At this time, Saigo Kizo took the lead in replying, "The formation of five-color preparation can effectively allow the standing ashigaru to form combat effectiveness, and it is also convenient for the deployment of subordinates, which is indeed a very good idea, and his subordinates are very supportive." ”

Ogasawara Shintoki on the side also hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's thoughts are similar to Saigo-sama's, but there is a problem, Your Majesty thinks you should discuss it with your lord." ”

"Oh?" Soji Tsugawa asked curiously, "What's the matter, but it's okay to say." ”

"Hah"

Ogasawara Shintoki opened his mouth at this time, "Although Your Majesty doesn't know much about the specific situation of the Five Colors, your Majesty guesses from the name that the Lord is going to form a standing army of five colors distinguished by five colors, right?" ”

"Exactly." Soji Tsugawa nodded and said.

"Since it's a five-color preparation, the first thing you need is five colors, but I don't know which five colors?" Ogasawara said at this time.

Soji Tsugawa thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "Actually, the total color is seven, and with my flag book and my family's horse riding team, there are seven colors in total." ”

"Then here's the problem." Ogasawara Shintoki said with an unusual look on his face at this time, "Aside from the cost of dyeing, the cost of these seven colors alone varies, such as black and red, if it is 100 pieces of light and light use, it is expected to cost about 70 kan, and if it is blue or cyan, it will cost about 120 kan. ”

"So much?" Soji Tsugawa said in shock, "Why is it so expensive? ”

"There is no fuel production in the family territory or even in Dewa, and all the dyes and fabrics are purchased from Minato Castle and other places, so the cost is very high." Ogasawara Shintoki said, "If it's just to make seven colors to distinguish ashigaru, your majesty thinks that the cost is too high, and I ask the lord to think twice." ”

"This ........" Tsugawa Soji hesitated a little, B has already pretended, and if he changes the hexagram at this time, it will be a little embarrassing.

So, the undying Tsugawa Soji then asked, "What if you just color the ashigaru's flag or a sufficiently eye-catching position?" How much does it cost? ”

"Well, if it's just a small part of the dyeing with the flag and enough or colored cloth in some places, it shouldn't cost too much." Ogasawara nodded and said, "It is estimated that 100 people are standing in about 20-30 kans." ”

"100 people is 20 runs, 1000 people is 200 runs...... "Tsugawa Soji silently counted in his heart, "200 runs are still acceptable, and the five-color preparation must be made, although the colors are indeed for good looks and distinction, but its intrinsic meaning is still very important." ”

So Soji Tsugawa said to Ogasawara Shintoki, "At the time of the letter, the five-color preparation must be built no matter what, and the main force of the family in the future will be the five-color preparation." Since you mentioned this question, it's up to you to prepare the five colors plus the colors of your own flag and the horse riding team. ”

"Muzo, wait until you transfer 300 pieces from the treasury to the letter." Soji Tsugawa said to Saigo Kizo on the side.

However, Saigo Kizo did not immediately answer Soharu Tsugawa, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied, "My lord, the family has no money.............

"It cost a lot to expand Tsugawa Castle before, and this fire is another big expense for the people to rebuild their houses, 300 yuan..... I'm afraid I really can't take it out. Saigo Kizo said in embarrassment.

"Out of money?" Tsugawa Soji said helplessly, "I forgot about this........ "Tsugawa Soji is completely inappropriate and doesn't know that firewood and rice are expensive, and the money of the Tsugawa family is scavenged from the various wealthy families that were wiped out by the Tsugawa family before, and the total number is only 3,000 guan, and the development of the past two years has almost consumed, so the huge Tsugawa family can't even take out 300 guan now.

"Alas, money, money!" Soji Tsugawa scratched his head and said wistfully.

And at this moment, the voice of Takahashi Xingjia came from outside the door.

"My lord, the important person of Tozawa asks to see you."

Soji Tsugawa raised his head and nodded at Takahashi Xingjia and said, "Let him in." ”

"Hah!"

After a short time, Tozawa Masashige entered the castle tower and saluted Tsugawa Soji, who was sitting on the main seat, and said, "I have seen the lord." ”

"No need to be polite, take a seat." Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

"Yes!" Masashige Tozawa hurriedly got up and walked over to Ogasawara Nobutaki and sat down.

Soji Tsugawa hurriedly asked, "Masashige, what's the matter?" ”

"Hah!" Hearing Tsugawa Soji's question, Masashige Tozawa hurriedly replied, "The lord forgot?" Before, the lord asked him to go down to arrest the Kanazawa Zhengen family, and his subordinates came to restore their lives. ”

After listening to Tozawa Masashige's words, Tsugawa Soji suddenly realized, "Yes, I've been so busy during this time that I've almost forgotten everything." ”

"How's it going? What's going on with the Kanazawa family? ”

Tozawa Masashige hurriedly replied, "All 17 members of the Kanazawa family have been taken down, and 4 of them have been found to be involved in Kanazawa Zhengen's conspiracy, and the entire Kanazawa family is now being suppressed by his subordinates in Iwamatsu Castle." "The current residence of Tozawa Masashi is still under construction, so I can only temporarily borrow Iwamatsu Castle from Saigo Kicho to see the people of the Kanazawa family.

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "All the people of the Kanazawa family have been executed, and since you dare to betray your family, you must be prepared to shed blood!" ”

"Both.... Kill them all?" Thinking that he had misheard, Tozawa asked tentatively.

"Kill them all!" Soji Tsugawa accentuated his tone, and by the way, he gave Masashige Tozawa a stern look. For people like Kanazawa Massan, Tsugawa Soji doesn't plan to do anything "lenient", Made, his life is almost gone, how can he relieve his anger if he doesn't kill his whole family?
