Chapter 293: The Tsugawa Family!
After eliminating the worries of the Onodera family, the Tsugawa family died down militarily, but they made frequent moves in diplomacy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
First they concluded an alliance with the southern family, and then they began diplomatic goodwill with the wealthy families such as the Spo family and the Asari family. The Andong family showed that they did not want to think about the harmony proposed by the Tsugawa family, but Anton Shunji still couldn't face up to the fact that the Tsugawa family was already equal in strength to the Anton family.
And the Hashu Detective Question, the top family, was very happy to meet with the Tsugawa family's foreign affairs commissioner, Togo Yoshiyu.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that the Tsugawa family has sent an envoy to the Mogami family. Last time, it was also the envoy of the Mogami family, Mogami Yoshishi, who came to the Tsugawa family to carry out goodwill, and this time Togo Yoshisuke sent the Mogami family, which also wanted to further strengthen the relationship between the Tsugawa family and the Mogami family.
Although the Mogami family is currently in decline, it is still nominally the number one door in the country of Deyu, after all, the Mogami family is the hereditary Yushu Exploration Question! He is the titular leader of Dewa Province!
The Mogami family was originally based in Yamagata Castle, and Mogami Yoshimori, the head of the Mogami family, received the Tsugawa family's envoy, Togo Yoshisuke.
Mogami Yoshimori is about the same age as Tsugawa Soji this year, and when Mogami Yoshimori became the governor of the Mogami family, it was the time when the Mogami family was at its most declining. The inheritance of the governor of the Mogami family is something that the Date family can interfere with at will.
Although after so many years of hard work by the Mogami family, they have taken advantage of the civil strife in the Date family last year to gradually get rid of the control of the Date family, but Mogami Yoshimori's life is not easy.
The most intuitive thing is that the various subordinate forces of the Mogami family don't buy it at all, especially the Mogami family, which is dominated by the Tiantong clan, has never been the best Yoshimori! He didn't care about the orders of the most righteous people.
The young Yoshimori Mogami is eager to change the status quo of the Mogami family, but there are also many problems within the Mogami family. Mogami Yoshibo has always been angry about his failure to serve as the head of the Mogami family. (Mogami Yoshimori is the Mogami family governor directly appointed by Date Minoru from the Mogami branch of the Nakano family, and the original family governor should be Mogami Yoshiba!) )
And Nakano Yoshikiyo also relied on the fact that he was the biological father of Yoshimori to the top.,Prestige in the top family.。 Even though Mogami Yoshimori was very dissatisfied, the strength of the Nakano family was much stronger than that of Mogami Yoshimori.
The Mogami family is now like a losing one, but the Mogami family, as the main family, is like a thin trunk, but the division family and the retainers are like powerful branches! Strong branches and weak cadres, weak lords and strong ministers are the best portrayal of the best family at this time!
Of course, Mogami Yoshimori is unwilling to be a puppet, so Mogami Yoshimori wants to suppress the disobedient family such as the Tiantong clan externally and suppress the arrogant Nakano family internally! However, the ability of the most righteous defender is mediocre, and although there is the help of the loyal minister's family, there is no progress.
As a result, Mogami Yoshimori pinned his hopes on finding a strong ally, and the Date family itself was mired in civil strife, which was neither a threat nor a help to the Mogami family. The rest of the Michinoku country was also caught up in the civil strife of the Date family, and they were too busy to take care of themselves. So Mogami Yoshimori set his sights on the interior of Dewa Province!
The Tsugawa family, a newly emerging force that has recently risen and whose territory is not far from the Mogami family, has entered the eyes of Mogami Yoshimori!
This time, the Tsugawa family took the initiative to send an envoy to Mogami's house, and Mogami Yoshimori did not dare to slack off, and personally received Togo Yoshiyu.
Inside the castle tower of Yamagata Castle, Mogami Yoshimori smiled and said to Togo Yoshiyu, "Togo-sama, I don't know why you came to this house this time?"
Togo Yoshiyu bowed to Mogami Yoshimori, and then said slowly, "I came here this time, and it was the acting lord who conveyed the kindness of my family to Mogami Lord!" In addition, I came here with a gift from my family, a total of ten war horses, and a famous sword! I hope that the most beautiful adults will laugh and accept it! ”
"Haha! So the family will take it! Mogami Yoshimori said happily.
Togo Yoshisuke continued, "The lord of this family intends to form an alliance with the Mogami family and communicate with each other, and this time I also want to conclude an alliance with you!" ”
Seeing that Togo Yoshisuke mentioned the alliance, Mogami Yoshimori also said with a straight face, "Lord Togo, but I don't know what you want after the alliance between you and me, and what can the family get?" ”
Togo Yoshisuke said with a smile: "The family doesn't have any requirements, but I just hope that Lord Mogami can recognize the family's rule over the Senbei Prefectures in the name of Yushu Exploration!" As for Mogami's proposals, please speak up! ”
Mogami Yoshimaru said with a solemn face: "The alliance is a good thing for both of you and me, but the Tsugawa family's rule over the Senbei Prefectures is not something that this family can decide!" You should send an envoy to explain this matter to the Shogunate and the Shogunate, and as long as it is recognized by the Shogunate and the Shogunate, then everything will be justified. ”
"Mogami-sama doesn't know that although the family is a descendant of the Genji family, the Toki clan is separated, but it is trapped in the bitter cold land of Senbei all the year round, and the Mino guardian Toki clan, which is the main family, has also been wiped out by the Saito family last year! Therefore, the family hopes to convey the family's rule over the Senhoku Prefecture to Kyoto through Mogami-sama! ”
Mogami Yoshimori didn't answer immediately after listening, but pondered the pros and cons.
Togo Yoshisuke then said, "In return, the family is willing to provide you with 200 pieces of money and 10 war horses, and the Kyoto side will also bear the expenses!" ”
Hearing this, Mogami Yoshimori was also very satisfied, and hurriedly said, "In this case, then the main family will go to Kyoto on behalf of the Tsugawa family, and I will personally send the important ministers of the family to Kyoto in a few days!" ”
"So, thank you, Mogami-sama!" Togo Yoshiyu said gratefully.
In fact, the reason why Mogami Yoshinoyuki agreed so quickly is also because Togo Yoshiyuki's words just now reminded Mogami Yoshimori. Kyoto is also a good way for Mogami Yoshimori to expand his influence and strengthen his control over Mogami House.
Now that the Tsugawa family is willing to be wronged, what reason does Mogami Yoshimori have to refuse? After all, Shangluo went in the name of the Mogami family, and the Mogami family was the subject of Yushu exploration Shangluo, and by the way, it was normal to take care of the titular little brother "Tsugawa family".
The Tsugawa family is willing to bear the cost of something, so what else is there to say?
Mogami Yoshimaru said with a smile at this time, "Then the matter of the covenant is confirmed, and the family also has no other requirements, just need the Tsugawa family to send troops to help the family when necessary!" ”
"This is natural, since you and I have formed an alliance, it is also a matter of duty to send troops to support our allies!" Togo Yoshiyu said affirmatively.
"Haha!" Mogami Yoshimaru smiled and said, "Today, I had a good conversation with Lord Togo, and the time is not over, I ordered someone to prepare a meal, and Lord Togo will come with me to the table!" The retainers of the family also want to see the style of the samurai of the Tsugawa family! ”
"Thank you, Mogami-sama!" Togo Yoshiyu said calmly.
In the evening, Togo Yoshisuke attended the dinner of the Mogami family under the leadership of Mogami Yoshimori, and the guests and hosts were happy for a while, and the relationship between the Tsugawa family and the Mogami family was further enhanced!
