Slowly came to the room, although the girl showed Ji Qin a smiling face, but from her red eyes, Ji Qin could still see that she had just cried. Ji Qin knew that this was not because of the destruction of the Niko family, but because she only knew the news when the whole of Japan knew about it, if Shikanosuke was safe, with the intelligence system of the Hagi family, it was impossible for her to know that the Niko family had been destroyed so late, then there was only one possibility, Kanosuke and the Niko family were ......
took out a letter that had been opened from his bosom and put it in front of him, Ji Qin said softly: "My brother said that what you don't want to see will never happen, this is the letter that Admiral Hamayoshi just sent back from Wakasa, open it and take a look." ”
After listening to Ji Qin's words, the tears of the man were left again, and after Ji Qin reached out to help her wipe them away, the man opened the letter with trembling hands.
The letter was written by Shikanosuke himself, and what he said in the letter was also a good thing. However, there is another letter, written by Hamayoshi, which gives a detailed account of the situation when the Niko family fell, and they fled by sea, but Shikanosuke had no worries at that time, and he did have the will to die with the Niko family, if it wasn't for the ninja army who stayed to protect him at the critical moment and knocked him out, I'm afraid he would really stay in Tsukiyama Tomita Castle. Now, I am already on my way back to Kannonji Castle, and most likely, I am already on Lake Biwa.
After reading the letter, the girl smiled with tears in her eyes and threw herself into Ji Qin's arms.
The matter of the man was solved, and he finally solved a matter of Ji Qin's heart, and he was much more motivated to deal with the matter. However, a piece of news that was even more powerful than the collapse of the Niko family caused a sensation throughout Japan shortly after the reunion between the son and Kanosuke.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the thirteenth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, known as the sword general, died, on the way to the shrine, in the fight against the rebellious army, and at the hands of the Miyoshi trio and Matsunaga hide.
……
Omi Kotani Castle, Ji Qin and other old family members will sit in the conference hall, waiting for the arrival of the lord and the chief minister.
Soon, Changzheng quickly entered the meeting hall, and after sitting down, he immediately spoke: "Very good, you are all the ministers of my Asai family, and now there are two important things that need to be discussed in this family. First, the murder of the Shogun Yoshiki by the Miyoshi family is well known, and whether the family needs to send troops to retake Yamashiro Province to ensure the stability of the shogunate. Solve this matter, and then move on to the next one. ”
This matter is actually Shangluo, declaring the martial power of the Asai family, but Ji Qin feels that the time is not ripe enough.
"The family should consolidate the territory as soon as possible, once Shangluo, there will be a violent conflict with the Miyoshi family, it is really unwise, it can be said that the matter of Shangluo will do more harm than good to the family, and please think twice."
Haibei Tsunami said loudly, most of the rest of the people also think the same, at present, the maritime trade of Wakasa Province is still under construction, and Iga Province has just been pacified, so it is really not suitable for another big war, most of these important ministers think so, and they all echo it.
Changzheng looked at Ji Qin, Ji Qin nodded, and agreed with Haibei Gangqin's words, for which Gangqin also smiled at Ji Qin.
"Okay, since you all think it's inappropriate, then let's discuss this matter later, now let's talk about the second thing, the day before yesterday, the Oda family sent an envoy to ask the Honko family to send troops together to conquer the Saito family, and then the two families will divide Mino equally."
As soon as Nagamasa's words fell, everyone immediately agreed, and they all expressed their willingness to be the vanguard, in their thoughts, the alliance between Omi and Owari and Owari, a Mino is absolutely unstoppable, then this is a good time to make war achievements, where can it be left behind.
In this regard, Ji Qin is not so optimistic, how can Mino be so easy to fight, although Saito Yoshiryu is a little mediocre, but most of his retainers still have some ability, and Changzheng did not discuss this matter with Ji Qin in advance, it should mean to let Ji Qin take a break, so Ji Qin is happy to watch the play.
"Since your fighting spirit is so high, then this matter is decided. This time, the battle was mainly based on East Omi, and South Omi continued to cultivate. ”
Nagamasa quickly issued an order, and there was no arrangement for how many people were to be made, how to fight, and who was the vanguard, and these were all to be discussed with the Oda family before a specific meeting would be held, but Minami Omi had no share.
Returning from Kotani Castle to Kannonji Castle, Ji Qin held a quarterly appraisal meeting.
Some of the exploits of everyone in the spring military and political construction were quickly reported to Ji Qin's ears one by one, and Ji Qin also quickly rewarded him, Nanguang Fang Tianhai was promoted to the head of the ashigaru group, and the rest of the people were not promoted, but they were also rewarded with some money and goods.
At the end of the evaluation, Ji Qin began to assign tasks for the new quarter.
"The next period of time in the main family will focus on the joint attack on Mino Province with the Oda family, and the task that the main family has received is to consolidate the territory, in order to achieve this goal, I decided: Gate Beast, lead the ninja people, to find Ashikaga Yoshiteru's own brother, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, after finding it, monitor it."
"Yes!"
The Tooth Gate Beast bent down in response.
"Wait for the rest of the people, continue with the previous mission."
"Understood!"
Everyone should say yes in unison.
Coming out of the assessment pavilion, Ji Qin came to the study, and not long after, the half-guards came, and the two made some conjectures about the invasion of Mino by the Asori coalition, and wrote and drew on the map for a long time, and came to the same conclusion: the Asori coalition will fail, but it will not be a fiasco.
"Lord, do you need to inform the main hall?"
Ji Qin shook his head and said: "At present, the edge of the family is too exposed, not to mention a small defeat, it should be regarded as a chance for the main family to reflect." ”
The half-guard nodded. After ending this topic, the two began to discuss the education of Konohamaru again, but most of them were Hanbei learning about Konohamaru's learning, and while they were discussing, Yokichi came in and said, "My lord, Yamanaka-sama has asked to see you." ”
Kanosuke wants to see him, it's for the revival of the Niko family, but he has to meet and talk about it, and the two haven't talked in depth since he came here.
"Let him in!"
Yoshikai opened the door and invited Shikanosuke in.
"Brother, Takenaka-sama is also there."
Shikanosuke looked at the half-guard in surprise for a moment, and then pretended to be relaxed.
After the half-guard saluted Shikanosuke, he said goodbye to Yoshiqin and left, although Yoshiqin did not let him retreat, he knew that he was not suitable to participate in the next thing.
After the half-guard left, Shikanosuke and Ji Qin were relatively silent, making tea with Ji, and the two of them only drank occasionally.
After a long time, Shikanosuke broke the silence and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I want to borrow troops to revive the Niko family. ”
Ji Qin's face did not change, and he said indifferently: "Well, this matter is also a good thing for the Asai family. It's just that, in what name did you use to revive the Nizi family, and have you found the descendants of the Nizi family? ”
"This ......"
Shikanosuke was stunned, he suddenly remembered that after the fall of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, all the surnames of Nizi had been slaughtered by the Maori family, and without the descendants of the Nizi family, what name would he use to revive Nizi, thinking of this, Shikanosuke's face became bitter.
