Chapter 32: The Fall of the Tsugaru Clan
The army of Hongqian City began to assemble, and this time it can be said that more than 1,200 people from Aoyama Bei and Hongqian Bei, and 500 troops of Andong of Yoshihisa of Daisato were added, and the police were still used as a second-line force to maintain the security of the territory, and Iyuanzhe had agreed to select the best from the ronin to join it to enrich the combat power.

The army outside the city has been assembled, and Sakurahime is a little reluctant in her heart, after all, Iyuan Tetsutsu has returned to Tsugaru not long ago, and she will go out again.
Yi Yuanzhe dressed well, pinched Sakurahime's face and said, "When I destroy the southern family, I will come back and marry you." Let our children and grandchildren live in an era of peace. ”
Sakurahime's eyes showed concern about his appearance, and she whispered, "Please be careful. ”
Yi Yuanzhe put on his iconic mask and pointed his sword at the sky: "Out of battle." ”
"Roar! Roar! Roar~~~" The army roared, accompanied by the drumbeat of the military drum, and the army headed towards Beijun like a dragon.
Sakurahime watched him from the castle, and watching him go like a hero could elicit the roar of the army.
For Sakurahime, various samurai stars flashed like shooting stars, Taira Kiyomori, Minamoto Yoshito, and Minamoto Yoshitsune...... Wait, she only hopes that he will be safe, but she can feel his ambition as she looks at the military column slowly walking away.
"Sakurahime-san, my lord has gone away." Aji whispered a reminder behind Sakurahime.
Sakurahime didn't look back, but still looked at the direction Igen Tetsu had left and said, "Aji, do you say that His Highness Tetsu is really so eager for victory?" ”
"Aggie only knows that if it weren't for the adults, I would have died, and the adults have also saved the other people in the territory, so that they do not encounter war and hunger."
"Yes! At that time, Taira Kiyomori also wanted to create a prosperous country like the former Song Kingdom, but he brought the era of samurai, and the Taira clan was finally defeated by Minamoto Yoshitsune at Nagato National Altar Norinura, and the whole clan committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea. No one knows if it's right or wrong......" Sakurahime didn't know why she was so sentimental, and she was worried that Imoto would follow the same path.
"Sakurahime-san?" Aji didn't understand what Sakurahime was talking about.
"It's rude, go back." Sakurahime turned around and walked towards Honmaruchi, and Aji and the others silently followed.
Chizuru Xing leaned on the arrow tower, and she also kept watching them walk away, watching Teragoro put on the samurai gear and look good, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
On October 2, the 17th year of astronomy, the army of the Iyuan clan assembled at Zhusen Castle.
"Three hundred and fifty people came to assemble, and the generals who led the troops were thick in time."
"The two hundred troops of the Kitazawa family came to assemble, and the general Kitazawa Yoshikiyo led the troops."
With the arrival of Nakashi Michihou and Kitazawa Yoshikiyo, the entire Zhusen City gathered all the generals and troops of the entire Iyuan clan, and the total strength actually reached more than 3,000 people, which also made Iyuan Zhe more confident to enter the south.
"Report to the lord, the messenger of Tsugaru Toshinobu asks to see you." A guard ran in to report it, and Imoto Tetsu was stunned when he heard the name, and he didn't know who Tsugaru Toshinobu was.
"The lord, the powerful and wealthy clan of Tsugaru Toshishin Tsugaru County, was later defeated by Kurokawa Maenin, and the rest of the clan fled and were sheltered by the Southern Clan." Zhongshi Daohou knows a little.
"Ao~" Iyuan Tetsu only knew about this Tsugaru clan, since Tsugaru Toshinobu was in the southern clan, he was very curious about what to send someone to do at this time: "Bring it up!" ”
"Oh!" The guards immediately went out and brought the men up.
After a while, I saw a person dressed in a shabby samurai costume walk in, sit cross-legged, bow his head and support the ground with his hands, and said, "Below, Tsugaru Nagato guards the retainer Langgang to meet His Highness Iyuan." ”
Yi Yuanzhe nodded, he didn't care about any official positions such as Nagato Shou, after all, there were several Nagato Shou in a country, but after solving the southern matter, he would have to pay tribute to the shogunate and the imperial court, after all, he himself was not a famous family, and it seemed that he would have to find a way in the future.
"Well, what's the matter with Tsugaru?"
"Oh!" When a person in Langgang heard Yi Yuanzhe's inquiry, he hurriedly said: "My lord is willing to take down three households as the head of Yiyuan Palace." ”
"Oh?" Imoto Tetsu is interested, but he doubts that Tsugaru Toshinobu is capable? "How to take it?"
"At present, Kunohe Masashi and Ishikawa Takanobu are attacking each other, and the three households, Kuai, and Iwayome in the southern territory are already in chaos, some support Ishikawa Takanobu and some support Kunohe Masashi, and the Kasai clan has suddenly invaded the southern part of Iwate County." After explaining the situation in general, one of the generals of Langgang continued: "At present, Ishikawa Takanbu has defeated the nine households and invaded the nine towns, and the three households are empty, and although the Ishikawa army has monitored my lord and some southern vassals, my lord and the southern Yassumitsu and other tribes have secretly united, as long as the army of Iyuanden arrives, the three cities will be in chaos. ”
"Hmm!" After listening to the words of Langgang, some of the retainers present were happy and some were pondering, but Iyuan Tetsu didn't believe that Tsugaru Toshinobu would help him for no reason, so he asked, "What are the conditions for Tsugaru Toshinobu?" ”
When Langgang heard Yi Yuanzhe ask directly, a cold sweat appeared on his head: "This ...... My lord prayed to Iyuanden to let us return to our hometown. He fell on his face with all his body on the ground.
"What?" "Bold, do you want my Igen family to quit Tsugaru?" Zhongshi Daohou got up and was furious.
"Dao Hou!" Yi Yuanzhe stopped Zhongshi Daohou, and then said to Langgang Yi, "Is that so?" ”
"No, no, my lord is willing to serve the Igen family, I just hope to be able to return to Tsugaru City to live, please Iyuan Hall will reward Tsugaru City to my Tsugaru family in the future, and the Tsugaru family will die for the Iyuan family!"
"Tsugaru Castle? Why haven't I heard of it? "Iyuanzhe couldn't remember where he was at Tsugaru Castle for a while.
"My lord, it's Tsuryu Castle, and the Kurokawa family renamed the Tsugaru clan after expelling the Tsugaru family." Or did he explain that after all, he had been out of the Kurokawa family before, and he had always been very aware of Tsugaru's affairs.
"Hmm! That's it! Yi Yuanzhe replied casually, and Langgang looked at him nervously with a sweaty head.
At present, the two counties of the Yi Yuan family are under the direct leadership of Yi Yuanzhe, except for the manor of the Kitazawa family, and he is also going to divide some to his retainers in the near future to improve everyone's enthusiasm and loyalty. But he will never divide Tsugaru County, because it is the root place.
"No way!"
Hearing Yi Yuanzhe's answer, Langgang lowered his head in disappointment, but then Yi Yuanzhe's words made him extremely happy.
"I will never let anyone interfere with Tsugaru Prefecture as a direct domain, but as long as he does his best to help me take the three households, I will give him another 2,000 stone territory so that he can rebuild the Tsugaru clan, but the Tsugaru clan must be loyal to the Igen clan for generations to come."
"Yes! In the next must tell the lord what Iyuan Hall said. "He's not a fool, he can't go back to Tsugaru County, but there are two thousand stones in other places, which are not comparable to hundreds of stones around Tsugaru City, and he believes that the lord will be satisfied, after all, Nanbu Harumasa has only given some rice when he was there, not to mention how bitter it was that day.
"My lord has another matter, and after the matter is completed, I ask that my eldest son, Maruta, follow His Royal Highness Yi Yuan."
When Iyuan Zhe heard it, it seems that this Tsugaru Toshinobu is still relatively sensible, and he knows how to exchange protons for my trust.
"Accurate!"
"Oh! Thank you, Your Highness Iyuan. ”
……
After Langgang left, the retainers present were also discussing what had just happened, among them, giving Tsugaru Toshishin 2,000 stone did make some retainers dissatisfied, after all, even Teng Zheng, the three ministers of the Iyuan clan, did not have a fief, of course, Teng Zheng and they did not care about this.
Iyuan Zhe saw the expressions of the samurai such as Michihou Nakashi and Yoshikiyo Kitazawa.
smiled and said, "When we take down the entire three households to Shuyi, do we still care about this mere 2,000 stones?" Ladies and gentlemen! This time I will wipe out all the southern forces, and you will count how many dark war exploits you have after the war, understand? ”
"Oh!" Everyone replied in unison with excitement, after all, except for Teng Zheng and them, everyone else has always attached great importance to the family name, honor, and territory, and it is also the common voice of the samurai in this era.
