On October 5, the fifteenth year of astronomy, after the affairs to be handled in the generals were completed, Tsugawa Soji was also ready to start moving to Kaoluo.

The head of Xiyuan Temple was also tired of staying in the Tsugawa family domain during this time, although the head of Xiyuan Temple was very novel about all kinds of new affairs in the Tsugawa family domain, but the head of Xiyuan Temple did not forget his mission, and he was not happy.

After handing over the affairs of the shogun to Saigo Kizo and Ogasawara Shintoki, Tsugawa Soji held an assessment before leaving.

The retainers who participated in this assessment were all important ministers of the Tsugawa family, and Nakatsugawa Soji appointed five people, Yoshikage Komura, Saigo Kizo, Ogasawara Shintoki, Togo Yoshisuke, and Yoshikawa Hiroke, as members of the family veteran group, mainly responsible for dealing with the daily situation during the period when Tsugawa Soji was absent.

In terms of government affairs, Saigo Kizo and Ogasawara Nobutaki were in charge, and in military affairs, Omura Yoshikei and Yoshikawa Hiroke were in charge, and if there was a major matter that could not be decided, the five of them would discuss it.

In addition, Soharu Tsugawa handed over his own prints to Yukihime for safekeeping, and all military orders and government orders agreed upon by the family veteran group in the collar must be stamped with a seal by Yukihime before they can be implemented, otherwise they will be deemed invalid.

After everything was arranged, Soji Tsugawa and the chief of Saionji and the others were ready to go on the road.

This time, only part of the flag of Tsugawa Soji was accompanied by a total of thirty people, led by Yajima Tadabei. In addition, Gamo Hisaaki accompanied him with a squadron of muskets, and Nozawa and Kuro also accompanied him with several ninjas from the Blue Coat Society.

Since it is only a private visit, everything has to be simple. Except for the extra gifts to be offered, nothing else was brought.

After arriving at Minato Castle, Tadanobu Motoyama, the commander of the Tsugawa family's naval army, had already led more than a dozen ships to wait in Minato Castle. The Tsugawa family's navy is now the largest in Okuha, with more than 1,000 people and nearly 100 large and small warships.

Minato's Castle Castle Ida Keimune and Yoshino Yoshino Yoshinari and others were also waiting for the arrival of Tsugawa Soji in Tsuchizaki, and when Tsugawa Soji and his party came to the port, Date Keimune and others hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"My lord, the ship is ready, do you want to board now?" Date Keimune stood beside Soji Tsugawa and said cautiously.

Soji Tsugawa nodded, "Now that you're ready, let's go!" ”

"Yoshino Ryoshisei, have you arranged what the family told you before?" Tsugawa Soji refers to letting Yoshino Yoshino take care of various things on the way to Tsugawa Soji's Shangluo, after all, although he is going to Luoluo in private, he still has to pass through a lot of places along the way. Tsugawa Soji and his entourage of more than 100 people, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, naturally need to make arrangements in advance for the forces that need to pass along the way, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

At this time, Yoshino Yoshino's status as a businessman can play a big role.

"My lord, in addition to the Takeda clan and the Omi region of Wakasa Province, the places we have to pass through along the way are all relatively friendly forces with our family, such as Nagao, Hatakeyama, and Asakura, so when we arrive in Wakasa Province, we can disguise ourselves as merchants!"

"At present, the situation is chaotic, so it is better to be careful!" Yoshino continued.

"Hmm!" Soji Tsugawa nodded, "In that case, everything will be done!" ”

"Hah!"

Before getting on the boat, Tsugawa Soji specially called Yoshino Yoshino, "You handled the previous things very well, and you have worked hard for the family over the years, you take this and serve the family well!" With that, Soji Tsugawa patted Yoshino on the shoulder, and then got up and boarded the ship that had been purchased at great cost from Sardillo!

"Faithfulness, how? Are these three warships familiar these days? Soji Tsugawa came to the bow of the ship and asked Tadanobu Motoyama.

Motoyama Tadanobu hurriedly replied, "My lord, although the structure of these ships of the Southern Barbarians is different from that of the family's ships, they are indeed sharp weapons at sea. The hull is tall, the keel is long, the board can accommodate 150 people to fight, and the cabin can also hide more than 200 people. It seems to be bulky but it is actually light, and the speed is far faster than that of a ship, and although I have never tried this thing called a cannon on the hull, it is also an extraordinary thing. ”

"It's a pity that there are only three such warships in the family, if there are dozens more, even if you look at the world, the navy and the army should be invincible!" Motoyama Tadanobu suddenly sighed.

Hearing Motoyama's words, Tsugawa Soji was speechless for a while, just these three ships almost emptied the Tsugawa family's foundation, and there are dozens more? If I have this money, I can buy a fart boat, wouldn't it be nice to buy a gun and a gun?

"It's a good day today, and the wind is favorable, let's go!" Soji Tsugawa stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the blue sea in the distance, and urged.

"Hah!"

..........

Looking at the ships that were moving away, Date Keimune and the others in the harbor waited until they couldn't see the shadow of the ship before turning to leave.

Yoshino silently opened the box that Soharu Tsugawa handed him, and inside was a folded paperwork.

Thinking that it was some secret mission given to him by Tsugawa Soji, Yoshino Ryoshi hurriedly came to his residence in Minato Castle, and after closing the doors and windows, Yoshino Ryoshi quickly opened the document and read it.

After reading it, Yoshino sat in place, and suddenly tears poured out of Yoshino's eyes. After tearfully confirming the correctness of the words on the paperwork, Yoshino Ryoshi respectfully put the paperwork in the box, then pushed it aside and respectfully bowed to the box, and then shouted loudly in ecstature, "Ah Guang, Ah Guang, I have finally proved myself!" Finally prove yourself! ”

"San Lang, what makes you so ecstatic?" At this moment, a graceful figure pushed open the door and led a child of seven or eight years old and walked in.

Yoshino Ryosei hurriedly picked up the document in the wooden box and handed it to his wife Aguang like a treasure, and then laughed and said, "Lord, the lord just gave me this document." I was officially appointed as the Tsugawa family's trade officer, and this was the document that conferred my status as a samurai of Yoshino! ”

"Really? In this way, my Yoshinoya has become a samurai family in the name of a rightful one! Ako also held Yoshino's hand with a happy face and said excitedly.

Yoshino Yoshino was overjoyed and continued, "No, the lord also gave me 3,000 stone of Zhiyuki in Hanamaki Township, Barnyard County, and my Yoshinoya also has Zhixing!" ”

In fact, the fact that Soji Tsugawa gave Yoshino Yoshinari 3,000 stone Zhixingdi was also deliberate.

First, Yoshino Yoshino's ability to make money is admired even by Tsugawa Soji, and secondly, Yoshino Yoshino leaned towards the Tsugawa family at a very early age, and to a certain extent, the development of the Tsugawa family to the point where it is today also has Yoshino Yoshino's contribution in it, which can indeed be called indispensable.

Before, Yoshino Ryoshi was not officially accepted as a retainer of the Tsugawa family, mainly because of Yoshino Ryoshisei's status as a businessman, but now in the Tsugawa family, bandits and ninjas can become retainers, and businessmen can naturally do it.

Looking at the document in his hand, Yoshino Rashino clenched his fists, and the scenes from ten years ago resurfaced in front of Yoshino's eyes. Remember it was a ........
