On the way to Kozen Castle, a caravan was on its way. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Matsumae Zegao was about to arrive, but his face was a little gloomy, if it wasn't for Igen Zhe to summon Matsumae's business inn in North County some time ago, he didn't even know that his sister had been with Igen Zhe all the time.

Could they? He didn't dare to think about it, after all, the Matsumae family was in Soma Riyin's territory, and if the Soma family targeted them because of this, it would be tantamount to a catastrophe.

"Young master, someone is coming ahead."

I saw a group of all-black horseback warriors galloping in front of the caravan, "But the caravan of the Matsuyama family?" ”

"Exactly!" Zegao replied, he saw the Yiyuan family flag.

"In the next, Gangcheng Guangzhong was ordered to come to greet you."

"It's hard work!" Later, the twenty-man guard led by Guangzhong escorted the caravan into the castle town.

The castle town was immediately bustling with activity, and the townspeople welcomed the caravans the most, and sometimes there were not only opera artists but also novelties and some daily necessities, and children chasing after the ox carts and laughing and playing.

Bang! With the sound of an iron cannon, a wooden plank in the training ground in the city was shattered.

Gangjo Yuzhong held the smoky iron cannon, and then nodded towards Iyuanzhe.

At this time, the fire gate guns introduced by the Ming Kingdom in Japan had been replaced by the "arquebuses" brought by the Nanban merchants, and the Japanese drummed up many different types on the basis of them.

And Matsumae Zetaka brought six cartridges, which are more common iron cannons for actual combat (匁 is an ancient Japanese unit of measurement, close to China's "money", one cannon is about 3.75 grams, and six canisters are iron cannons that fire projectiles weighing 22.5 grams)

I don't know much about the iron cannon Yi Yuanzhe, because in the previous game, the iron cannon research technology was very late, and the range was much shorter than the bow and arrow, so it was not much use at all.

Zegao told him that this kind of iron cannon could reach a distance of nearly 100 paces, and that iron cannons were often used for projectile in ship battles.

Now Zegao has brought him eighty sticks, and the rest can only be sent over when the Matsumae family has raised them.

Later, Iyuanzhe gave these iron cannons to Teng Tang and ordered him to organize ashigaru practice, hoping to use them in the war against the southern family, and he really wanted to practice this kind of thing lightly.

Matsumae Zetaka looked at Iyuanzhe without saying anything, Iyuanzhe guessed what he was going to ask, so he invited him into the tea room, and Aji and the others had already prepared dim sum and sencha.

"Aggie go and call Sakurahime!" Yi Yuanzhe commanded to Aji.

"Yes, sir." Aggie withdrew with his maids.

Yi Yuanzhe was a little embarrassed for a while, did he directly say that I had deceived your sister? It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate.

"Yiyuanden, my sister Sakurahime thank you for taking care of her during this time, my father ordered me to take her back." It was Matsumae Sawataka who was the first to break the silence.

"Well, this ......" Iyuan Zhe suddenly had a feeling of weakness, but after thinking about it, he continued: "Brother Sawa, Teragoro told me about Sakurahime, and I also promised Teragoro to let him learn to become a samurai with Teng Shin. ”

"Huh?" When Matsumaezawa Takashi heard it, it turned out that he knew everything, but what could he do? And Teragoro was left of Matsumae's house like this?

"Brother Sawa, I think we should still follow Sakurahime's wishes."

"Okay!" Matsumaezawa didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to wait for Sakurahime to arrive, but Imoto's attitude made him feel bad.

Wow~ The side door was opened, Sakurahime walked in in and knelt at the door with her head bowed, she bit her lip, she knew in her heart that she still had to face it, but she decided that she would not go back if she died.

"Sakurahime! Father and mother are worried about you, go back with your brother. Sawataka said to Sakurahime first.

Sakurahime raised her head and looked at Zegao's eyes and shook her head and said, "No, brother, I'm sorry, Sakurahime can't go back and doesn't want to go back, does my brother really want me to marry into the Soma family so much?" ”

Matsumae Sawataka's face began to be bad, of course he loved his sister very much, but this Soma family was not too bad, maybe there was still strength to develop in southern Oshu.

"Brother Sawagao, Sakurahime is my woman, she won't go anywhere As for Soma Riyin, if he dares to be unfavorable to the Matsumae family, it's a big deal that I will join the Date family to trouble him first."

Sakurahime suddenly heard Igen Zhe say about his woman, her face was slightly red, and she was very happy in her heart.

Matsumaezawa was speechless for a while, could it be that he could still snatch people from the heavily guarded Hongmae?

I only heard Iyuan Tetsu continue: "Now that I have unified Tsugaru and Kita-gun, the rest of the southern family is also my place of contention, and although Sakurahime is not the daughter of a samurai family, she can still be my main room, and all the business activities of the Matsumae family will not interfere in my territory." ”

"Brother, my sister only follows His Royal Highness Yi Yuan in this life."

Whew~ Matsumae Zetaka exhaled lightly, calmed down, and the guess he had guessed when he came came came true, and the two of them ......

"Alas! In that case, I can't do anything, but Soma Daizen will definitely be jealous of Iyuan-sama. ”

Yi Yuanzhe said seriously to Matsumae Zegao: "He can't move me, but if he dares to touch Matsumae's house, I will definitely let Soma's family double it." ”

Seeing this, Matsumaezawa just shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Under the night

A stage was erected under the city, surrounded by torches and a joyous crowd that followed the dancers as they swayed like puppets.

And Iyuan Zhe and his subordinates sat in the city together and watched the flat play, Sakura Ji was on the left and high on the right, but it was bitter for Yi Yuanzhe, what show in his previous life was so many movies and movies and music and music, watching Japanese opera at this time was simply sinful, he didn't like it, but it didn't mean that others didn't like it, Sakurahime was watching it with relish and laughing from time to time.

The other samurai and reciprocal members also drank and laughed from time to time, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and even Morita Kawaji actually came up to the stage and shrugged his shoulders like a clown, winning the applause of the audience.

At this time, Teng Tang was talking to everyone present one by one, and then everyone raised their wine bowls and shouted in unison in the direction of Iyuan Zhe and Sakurahime: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to Mrs. Sakura." "Hahaha......" Everyone then laughed merrily.

Yi Yuanzhe was drinking wine and was so troubled by them, the wine was almost swallowed in his throat, and he said to Teng Tang: "Teng Tang punished three bowls of wine." ”

"Haha, Lord Teng Tang ......" "The lord has an order, drink it quickly... Haha..."

"Thank you, my lord!" Teng Tang also laughed and drank.

Sakurahime was also taken aback, but she was also very happy to see that they actually called her wife, which showed that the retainers of Iyuan did not reject her, and it also reassured her a lot.

The stunned thing was that Matsumae Zegao was tall, looking at this appearance, she thought to herself, maybe it would be a good fate for her sister to marry Iyuan Zhe! But I still have to go back and see what my father thinks.

Yi Yuanzhe looked at the beautiful woman beside him, shook her hand and said, "How is it, Mrs. Sakura!" ”

Sakurahime Matsumae squeezed his hand vigorously and ignored him.

At this moment, a ashigaru came to the hall, knelt down on one knee and presented the bamboo tube and said, "Lord, Lord Teng Zheng urgently report!" Everyone in the hall immediately watched silently.

Yi Yuanzhe picked up the bamboo tube and thought to himself, what happened to Teng Zheng at this time? When he opened it, his face changed from serious to smiling, and he stood up and said to everyone in the hall: "Ishikawa Takanbu broke through the southern clan pavilion, the Northern Nobu Ai clan and the southern Yasumo were slaughtered, and the nine households were marched into the three households in the name of rescuing the wife and daughter of the southern Harumasa. ”

Wow~ Everyone is excited about this, the southern family killed each other so quickly, it was really self-defeating.

"Go south to the three households and dominate the North Olympics!" Teng Tang shouted, and then everyone yelled in unison, raising their fists high.

"Go south to the three households and dominate the North Olympics!"

Even Yoshihisa Osato and others were infected by this fanatical atmosphere and unconsciously joined in the roar.
