Since it was decided to do a wave of things, it was impossible to make a big fuss, and Tsugawa Soji had a very big appetite this time, and he defeated the people of the Southern Michiku Olympus led by Ashina and Date in one go, and unified Dewa and Mutsu in the true sense.

This time, the Ida family was robbed and cut off, in fact, it was directed by the Tsukawa family, and the purpose was to let the two sworn enemies, Date and Ashina, fight again, and the Tsugawa family will take advantage of the situation again.

As it stands, it's clear that the results are pretty good.

After everything was arranged, Soji Tsugawa also left for Ueno Castle. Inciting a stir is not an easy thing to do, and it is difficult to achieve it without a month or two, so Tsugawa Soji decided to return to Ueno Castle first to wait for news.

Ueno Castle expanded again over a period of three years, and the number of castle towns increased from three to five. Two new castle towns have been added: the Outer Town and the Domain Town.

However, these two castle towns are not open to the public, and their respective roles are different.

The residence of the resident envoy sent to the Tsugawa family by some of the forces that had signed a trade agreement or non-aggression pact with the Tsugawa family is a residence somewhat similar to an embassy.

Two years earlier, at the suggestion of the Tsugawa family, forces such as Echigo Nagao, Wakasa Takeda, Owari Oda, Suruga Imagawa, Ueno Uesugi, Boso Satomi, Echizen Asakura, Omi Asai, and Mino-Toki (although they were taken down by the Saito family, Toki Yorigi retained a small part of the territory due to the intervention of Oda and Asakura) sent permanent envoys to each other.

In fact, at first, Tsugawa Soji originally thought that the proposal of the permanent envoy would not be approved by these forces, or that it would not go too smoothly. As a result, the effect was unexpectedly good, not only the son-in-law of Nagao Jinghu but also the righteous brother of Takeda Shintoyo, but even Asakura, Imagawa and other forces were extremely happy and agreed.

In fact, a large part of the reason for the consent of these forces is mainly the "mutual exchange" and "accessibility of government decrees" mentioned in the treaty. That is to say, the two sides that have sent permanent envoys to each other should not only share information and intelligence, but also provide each other with the specific situation and ultimate purpose of their own decrees, which is somewhat similar to strategic partners.

And there is no doubt that the Tsukawa family is strong now, so these forces are very eager to get to know the Tsukawa family at a deeper level, maybe what experience can they learn from it?

The purpose of the Tsugawa family is relatively simple, just to get information from other regions. The Tsugawa family's own intelligence forces alone can satisfy the Ou region at most, and even the Kanto region cannot penetrate, so sending a permanent envoy will also help the Tsugawa family to obtain information from other regions.

As for the other domain town, it is actually a copy of the retainer settlement. The difference is that in the past, the retainers were located in the inner castle of Ueno Castle, but as the number of retainers of the Tsugawa family increased, the number of subordinate retainers also expanded, and it was clear that a small number of places in the castle were not enough to accommodate everyone's family members or hostages.

Soji Tsugawa ordered the re-opening of a vacant lot on the banks of the Omonogawa River, which was next to Ueno Castle, and built a prefecture town to house the families of his retainers and vassal states. At the same time, in order to facilitate supervision, in addition to the urban management office, there are two standing ashigaru guards in the town of the domain in turn, so as to prevent problems as much as possible.

......

Ueno Castle, in a courtyard somewhere in the Sakura Pavilion, the atmosphere is a little deserted, and there is no one else except for two or three maids who are in a daze. This annex is located in the innermost part of the Sakura Pavilion, and unlike the other annexes that are connected to each other, this one is obviously more independent.

The annex of the Tsugawa family's main wife, Yukihime, is located in the very center of the Sakurakan, with Koran's annex to the west and Kikuhime's annex to the right. As for Takizawa Lola and Kamihime, they are ranked behind Kikuhime and Xiaolan in chronological order of marriage with Tsugawa Soji.

So it is clear that this separate annex does not belong to all of the above.

Miaoru felt melancholy and dazed, because life in Ueno Castle was completely different from what she had imagined before she married into the Tsugawa family three years ago.

Before I came, in Miaoru's cognition, Dewa Country was a place where birds don't, and it was simply a poor and remote country, so I was very dissatisfied with marrying into such a remote place.

However, when she arrives at Ueno Castle, Myuro realizes that she was wrong. Even Kyoto doesn't see anything as bustling as Ueno Castle!

The bustling castle town, the endless stream of caravansera, the variety of goods, and the exquisite buildings all refresh the wonderful world view.

And when Miaoru entered the courtyard of her own, she was even more stunned!

I've only heard Kujou mention that the Tsugawa family is rich before, but I can't understand how rich the Tsugawa family is if I haven't seen it in person.

The rockery pond in the annex courtyard, hundreds of cherry blossom trees in full bloom, and a variety of fruits and delicacies that I can't name. In addition, the gold-inlaid bamboo chips, complete sets of porcelain, and even the footcloths are all made of silk, is there still a bit of humanity in this?

Poverty limits Miaoru's imagination.

If these unexpected things only shocked Miaoru, then Tsugawa Soji's ignorance of his love made Miaoru very puzzled.

Miaoru is the daughter of the real minister, and she is also the princess of the regent family, how many local daimyo in those places want to marry the princess on weekdays?

Whoever marries the daughter of the princess is not all cherished, and almost all samurai are not spared this kind of thing that can add color to the family name.

Miaoru thought at first that she would receive extra care from Tsugawa Soji, but on the night of the wedding with Tsugawa Soji, Tsugawa Soji didn't even enter the room. According to the news from the maids, Soji Tsugawa seems to have stayed in the room of Madame Yukihime all night.

Not only this night, but in the three years since he got married, Soji Tsugawa has never touched a hair of Miaoru at all, in other words, Miaoru is still ......

This makes Miaoru very puzzling, if it weren't for the fact that Tsugawa Soji has so many children, and Kikuhime and Kamihime have given birth to sons to Tsugawa Soji one after another, Miaoru is about to doubt Tsugawa Soji's X ability.

"Xiaomei, why do you say this? Why has Your Highness never looked at me squarely for three years? Leaning on the door panel, looking at the birds flying freely in the sky, Miaoru casually asked a maid beside her.

The maid was stunned for a moment, and then a strange look appeared on her face, but she quickly recovered, "Madame, don't worry about it, I think it's... I think it's ......" Speaking of this, the maid who originally wanted to comfort Miao Ru suddenly found that she couldn't make it up at all.

"It's a vain question to ask you!" Miaoru didn't know how many times she had asked this question repeatedly, but she couldn't get the answer she wanted.

At this moment, a maid quickly ran in from outside, and then said breathlessly, "Madam, the right guard general's hall is back!" ”

"Really?" Miaoru was suddenly overjoyed, then lifted the hem of her skirt and walked out quickly, when a gust of wind suddenly blew.....
