Listening to Masuda Nagamori say this, the Great Tibetan Chang'an, and Shioya Qiuzhen all showed surprise.

The three of them walked slowly and reached the city gate.

Toyama Castle's Otemon Gate is a Goryeo Gate, with two floors and three layers of eaves, and the eaves that stretch out are the Tang Pofeng that flourished during the Warring States period.

On both sides of the Goryeo Gate, the newly painted stone walls are new and bright.

On the arrow oars behind the stone wall, there are also ashigaru soldiers guarding and patrolling above.

All this shows the majesty of the lord of Toyama Castle, the god of the protection family.

The three of them rode their horses to the city, and they had their own samurai guarding the Otemon Gate, and they took more than 20 ashigaru to check the identities of the three people.

After confirming, the samurai waved his hand, and the three of them were allowed to enter the city.

Grunt, the big door was opened from the inside, and then the servants in the gate stood in the doorway and knelt on the ground.

The rest of the people stood on guard, and all this seemed to be very well-behaved.

The three of them walked through the doorway and slowly entered the city along the horse road.

Seeing that there is no one around.

Dazang Chang'an immediately asked Masuda Nagamori, "The lord really wants to move the city?" That's a big deal. ”

Masuda Nagamori nodded and said, "That's right, otherwise we wouldn't have come here to discuss it together." ”

Here, Yanya Qiuzhen said on the side: "In the past, the lord set up the city in Chengsheng City. That's because the city is born in the city, which is the key to the entry and exit of Hida Yuezhong, and the entry can be taken in Yuezhong, and the retreat can protect Hida. This is a strategic location. ”

"But today, in addition to Echichu and Hida, the family also has Kaga, Noto, and Sado. As well as Mino, Wakasa, and Tamba parts, if the city is set up in the castle again, there is also a feeling that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and it is inconvenient to send troops to raid the strategy. ”

Masuda Nagamori echoed: "What Shioya-sama said is right, in the past, the power of the family was insufficient, and the castle was quite appropriate as the main city. But now the family is already a million-stone name. The layout of the castle is limited, and if it is used to accommodate retainers, standing houses, as well as family members, and townspeople. It seems that the development is not enough, and it is difficult to respond in the middle. ”

"Besides, the city is born in the city, the transportation is inconvenient, it is far away from the streets of Hokuriku, and it is not near the sea, so it is difficult to convey the order to the Quartet."

Listen to what Masuda Nagamori said. The Great Tibetan Chang'an, Yanwu Qiuzhen all nodded, and said that it was inconvenient for the family to use Chengsheng City as a residence again.

Since it is inconvenient to live in the city, it is very meaningful as a new choice to live in the city.

The three of them crossed another suspension bridge and entered Sannomaru after the report.

Toyama Castle introduces the Shentong River. The river is vertical and horizontal, so there is also the saying of the floating city.

Shioya Akizhen continued the topic and asked, "But even if the castle is not a castle, why did you choose to build the site of the castle in Kaga?" ”

After Shioya Akisada spoke, Masuda Nagamori asked rhetorically, "Then with Shioya-sama's opinion, where is the best place to choose?" ”

Shioya Qiuzhen smiled, closed his eyes and said after a long time: "I can climb the Seven Tails City, the sea is convenient, and it is accessible in all directions." What do you think? ”

Shioya Qiuzhen said this, since he wanted to persuade the two to support the decision, Noto sea trade is convenient, if the family's main city is moved to Noto, it will definitely be convenient for shipping.

Masuda Nagamori looked at Ōzo Chang'an.

Dazo Chang'an didn't say anything, but he didn't approve of moving the castle to Kaga in his heart, and said: "I think Nanao Castle is okay, but Matsukura Castle is also good, so it's easy to make progress in Echigo." ”

While the three of them were talking, they had arrived at the palace of the city.

In front of the palace, the banner of the Jimbo family crest is flying high.

The three of them dismounted together, handed over the sword to the samurai in front of the palace, and entered the palace together.

"Meet the Lord!"

"Meet the young master!"

On the top of the palace, Li Xiao sat on the main seat, Li Zheng was second, and there were many important ministers of the Li family sitting in the main hall.

As soon as Li Xiao saw Dazang Chang'an, he smiled and said: "Chang'an, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that Sado fish and shrimp are not very good, and I have raised you thin." ”…,

Dazang Chang'an listened to Li Xiao's joke, and also smiled: "Back to the lord, your subordinates miss the lord, so they are thin." ”

Li Xiao waved his hand, expressing that he was not very interested in this greeting that was similar to a friend, and said: "Chang'an, in the past few years, you have made great contributions, and you can be called the hero of the rise of your family, how do you say I will reward you?" ”

Of course, Dazang Chang'an knew that it was he who presided over the mining of Sado Jinshan, so he praised Li Xiao so much.

At that moment, the treasurer Chang An lowered his head and said: "Thank you for the praise of the lord, and your subordinates dare not be ashamed." ”

Li Xiao thought for a moment and said: "Meritorious work is not without reward, so how about I take the land of 15,000 stones in Kaga Country as your knowledge and deeds, and let your great collector become the genealogy of my Li family forever?" ”

Dazang Chang'an was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Thank you to the lord, your subordinates will swear to die to serve, and they will die with all their might." ”

After the monarch finished speaking, Li Xiao looked around the hall and said: "Everyone, I have gathered everyone here today to discuss the relocation of this city, as we all know, Chengsheng Castle is too small and located in a remote area, which is not suitable for this city anymore, so I decided to move this city from Echichu Castle to Kaga Oyama Imperial Palace. ”

As soon as Li Xiao's voice fell, the ministers in the hall, whether they knew it or not, all buzzed.

Talk to each other.

Jimbo Nagaken's retainer Terashima Jobida asked, "My lord, the pattern of the castle is not enough to be a city of residence for a million-stone daimyo, but Kaga has just calmed down, and he hastily brought the castle here, and if the Oda family sends a large army, or the Shibata army advances north, it is easy to be attacked on this front." ”

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, moving the city to the front line is indeed vulnerable to enemy attacks, but it can also show the Oda family that the family will never back down." ”

At this time, the Uchijima clan said: "My lord, not long ago, the main force of my Hida Echichu Legion was fighting the Hokuriku Army of the Shibata Katsu family in a decisive battle under the castle, and the castle was damaged a lot, and the castle town would be burned down. ”

At this time, Li Xiao, a number of banner generals, also spoke: "Yes, Kaga has been barren after war for a long time, and it is inconvenient to move this city, so it is better to retreat to the next best, and the city has been operating for a long time, and the more you choose the place of this city." ”

"No!"

Li Xiao said categorically.

Seeing Li Xiao's color, it was originally a noisy hall, and all the generals were silent.

Li Xiao glanced away, he knew the hearts of the generals, he had not been fighting the world for a long time, and the generals had a comfortable heart, and refused to leave the place where they had bought a mansion.

From Echichu, where he had lived for more than ten years, he moved to Kaga, which had just come out of war.

This is everyone's heart of indulgence and hard work!

It's also a common problem for everyone.,Just like when Shingen was able to move the castle from the Akazakakikan to Shinano,So why attack the Imagawa family.。

Li Xiao stood up and said in a deep voice: "Back then, Nobunaga moved the main city from Qingzhou City to Komakiyama Castle, which was closer to Saito's family, and finally defeated the strong enemy, and there was Mino, and finally the world was armed. ”

"I, Li Xiaoyan, can not be as ambitious as Nobunaga!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiao paused and said: "What's more, the goal of the next step of the family's strategy is to attack the land of and move the city to Kaga, which is beneficial to the transportation of troops against Echizen. ”

"The world is undecided, and Takeda Shangluo has not succeeded, how can he lose his longing for the beautiful house of Liangtian, and lose the heart of enterprising the world early. Within this year, I, Li Xiaoding, will attack Echizen in a big way, so that the Oda family can see the might of my Hida Echichu Army. ”

Hearing Li Xiao's fierce words, all the generals present showed shame.

Shenbao Changxian immediately came out and said: "The words of the lord are like an initiation, and his subordinates are ashamed. ”

All the generals on the spot have changed their ways and regretted their original appearance, regardless of whether they are acting or not, but Li Xiao has already passed his decision to move to the city. …,

After that, the details of how to move will be discussed.

Because the Weishan Imperial Workshop was dilapidated, Li Xiao decided to push it to rebuild.

Li Xiao ordered the Great Treasury Chang'an to provide 50,000 yuan as capital for the construction of the city.

Masuda Nagamori served as the castle builder, issued a general request in Kaga, and hired people to build the castle.

Shioya Akisada, as the middle of the road, expanded the streets from Honyoshiminato to Oyama Gobo, and from Oyama Gobo, to connect the entire Hokuriku Province, so as to facilitate transportation and facilitate the transportation of troops in the future.

As for the rest of the generals, they moved the Ikanyashiki and the samurai of their families to the Oyama Imperial Palace.

Li Xiao gave the three commissioners a very tight deadline, and they had to complete the general construction of the retainers' group houses and the city ropes within three months.

Later, in July and August, they made a major attack on Echizen.

The relocation of this city is a weighty move, and it is a task that must be completed by this family, so it must be carried out with all its might.

Just as Li Xiao was discussing with the generals.

This time, a samurai went straight into the hall and reported to Li Xiaoyu: "Report to the lord of the lord, the prince of Chaoyue, and the prince of Xinlian, and the army of 20,000 troops went out to Echizen, intervening in the battle between the two of them, the governor of the Uesugi family. ”

"Chaoyue Gong, please march quickly, attack Echigo from the direction of the relatives and sons, and join the army of the family under the Kasuga Mountain Castle, there is no mistake."

When Li Xiao heard this, he knew that Takeda Nobuyoshi had given a heavy order this time, and he even said the sentence that there should be no mistakes.

Li Xiao knew that the purpose of Takeda Nobuyoshi's peace with the Tokugawa family this time was to invade the battle of Echigo, and almost the whole Takeda family was pressed in this battle.

Li Xiao nodded and said: "Return, Chaoyue Gong, Li Xiao will go out with more than 10,000 troops on the same day, attack Echigo within three days, and join the main force of his family under the Kasuga Mountain City." ”

Li Xiao's promise means that the Hida Yuezhong Army will fight on three fronts and attack from three sides this year.

This time the Hida Echichu Army was a test, but in order to complete Xinfan's entrustment, Li Xiao also had to send troops.

Tensho 6th year, March.

Just as Uesugi Kenshin Fang died only a month ago, this infighting, known as the Imperial Pavilion Rebellion, was provoked by Kamisi Jingsheng and Uesugi Jinghu, and the retainers of the Uesugi family were all on each other's side.

And also externally, the major forces in the Kanto region are also involved.

The Takeda family, which is a close neighbor of the Uesugi family, made the biggest moves, and went straight to Echigo from Ueno, Shinano, and Echichu. (To be continued.)
