It has been several days since the envoys of the wealthy clans from all over Vietnam and Central China were summoned, and there were always prepared troops coming in and out inside and outside the city, and the peasants who had been recruited from the city were sending a steady stream of grain down from the fortune boats and piling them up in the newly built underground warehouses in the city.

From the family governor to Zuo Zuo Chengzheng, to every ordinary soldier, they have entered a tense and busy state of preparation.

In the spring of this year, with the transfer of Sasa Naimasa's territory, the Ji samurai who had originally gathered in Echigo also came over.

Jing Yi Naohu and Zuo Zuochun, after giving birth to a child, have recovered well, and after a period of martial arts practice, they have recovered their previous combat effectiveness.

And Akai Teruko and Narita Kai, respectively, served as hostages of the Ueno Yura family and the Musashi Narita family, and they were also guest generals, serving under Sasa Narumasa. Fuji Kamiichi, a guest from Oshu Date's house, and his cousin Kita Katakura also received an errand in Uozu Castle.

As for Narumasa's earlier team, Nobutada Kohata, Keiji Maeda, and Suzuki Shrouto arrived earlier along with the Rose Knight and Echigo Sakaimi. After the beginning of spring this year, Saito Toshizo led the new iron artillery team under the command of Sasa Narumasa to take place.

In and around the current Uozu Castle, the Rose Knights have 400 horsemen, 50 members of the Echigo Morning Strike Team borrowed from Uesugi Sisters to defend the castle, 500 members of Sasa Narimasa's own new iron artillery team, 500 people from the standing ashigaru family who took over from the Shiina family, and 200 people from the townspeople after the completion of Uozu Castle, who are mainly responsible for maintaining law and order in and around the castle town.

In Horie Castle, west of Uozu Castle, there were 500 horseback cavalry teams under the command of Tohi Masashi, and more than 1,000 Tohi family farmers and soldiers were stationed.

In Wakakuri, east of Uozu Castle, there were 200 standing ashigaru men stationed in Koma Tsuneko, and more than 1,000 agricultural soldiers.

After a full battle, the number of troops that Sasa Naruma can gather is about 4,500 people, and if the garrison strength is deducted, there are about 4,000 troops in total.

Of course, if the Saito family and the Hida Eduma family were invited to send reinforcements, the total number of troops would increase by another 2,000.

There are a total of five or six thousand troops, which is much less than the number of troops mobilized by the Jimbo family to attack the Shiina family last year, but Sasa Narumasa is fully confident that the Jimboh family will be annihilated.

It was only because he was extremely confident in the generals and reserves under his command, especially in his standing troops, and last autumn, he only relied on the 500 cavalry team of the Gong Zhuang people and the Rose Knights who came to help, and defeated the army of the Jimbo clan with less than 1,000 troops, which was a dazzling achievement under his command.

As for the 500-strong new iron artillery team, it is the trump card among the trump cards of Chengzheng's standing army, and it is also the reason why Zuo Chengzheng does not recruit Zhao peasant soldiers.

This standing iron cannon used an ammunition loading technique called early closure and a bayonet was installed in the front of the cannon, so that even after the firing was completed, the soldiers of the iron artillery team could still hold bayonets and fight the enemy in close and hand-to-hand combat, which the previous iron artillery team would never have dared to imagine.

The war is approaching, and there are already special soldiers who make paper shells and distribute them on the eve of the battle, and the amount of ammunition carried is also a matter that needs to be considered.

Sasa Narimasa had been busy in the castle tower all day, and before he knew it, it was dark, and his stomach was growling.

"Lord, it's time for dinner."

A slender figure walked in with broken steps, Sasaharu was originally a wild girl who did not obey discipline, after marrying Chengzheng as a concubine, after years of hard work, she also transformed into a beautiful wife like Yamato Nadeshiko.

Sasa Chengzheng wanted to refuse, but after seeing Ah Chun's almost begging eyes, his heart softened, and he nodded and agreed.

Without him, Sazo Chengzheng is just ashamed.

There are not many concubines in Chengzheng.,There are only four people.,Ah Chun、Naohu、Jehime and Mochizuki Chiyo Girl.,Among them,Cheng Zheng can be said to have no feeling for Jehoe.,Almost like a passerby.,For Jing Yi Naohu is love and like from the heart.,And between Mochizuki Chiyo women,Although there is a love of fish and water,But more is a relationship of mutual use.。

Only to treat Ah Chun, it is very difficult to make Zuo Zuo Chengzheng.

Ah Chun probably likes Cheng Zheng very, very much, but Zuo Cheng Zheng can't respond to her equal feelings and companionship, and in the time the two of them get along, it will always be Zuo Zuo Chun who is giving.

Moreover, the relationship between the two is still through the role of the personality named Toki Raiji in Narumasa's body, which makes Sasa Narumasa feel very guilty about Ah Chun.

After that, although Ah Chun gave birth to Narumasa's eldest son, it was impossible for Sasa Narumasa to make Taro his heir, so he could only be the stepson of his eldest brother Sasaji and inherit the Owari Sasa family. This arrangement may be a common thing for the Sengoku Daimyo, but Sasa Narumasa still has his own guidelines in mind.

At least...... He doesn't really like Ah Chun.

Seeing Cheng Zheng's agreement, Ah Chun happily helped Cheng Zheng up, and then took his arm and walked outside.

"Huh? Didn't you mean dinner? ”

"Yes, Haru saw a new Narita ramen restaurant opened in Joshita Town, and I heard that the taste of this restaurant is very good, so I've always wanted to try it."

"Narita ramen...... No problem, it's ramen, let's go. ”

Of course, Sasa Naruma understands in his heart that Narita Ramen is under the sign of the Musashi Narita family, but the actual boss behind the scenes is Narumasa himself.

This ramen shop outside Uozu Castle was opened after the princess of the Narita family, Kaihime, came to Uozu Castle.

The two came to the ramen restaurant side by side with affection, and were immediately warmly received by the clerk - although the waitress girl didn't know that Sasa Naruma was the behind-the-scenes boss of Narita Ramen, but Naruma was tall and dignified, and Ah Chun next to him was also beautiful, so without thinking about it, he knew that it was "a high-ranking samurai who brought his wife and concubine to the store to try fresh food and distribute dog food".

"Two bowls of signature ramen, the best of the best!"

Entering the store, Sasa Chengzheng ignored the propaganda slogans on the wall and ordered the order with ease, but the first time Sasaharu came, he pointed to the words on the wall and read:

"This bowl fills my heart...... Are you sure? Ah Chun is looking forward to it now. ”

"Don't worry, our Narita ramen is definitely the first in the mud, and we will not disappoint you!"

"The first ramen in the mud? Silk high one Des milk! ”

Zuo Zuochun also shouted out in some surprise, and he could see that he was quite interested.

Sasa Chengmasa sat quietly on the chair, silently looking at the radiant Sasaharu, feeling a little relieved.

- Coaxing her to be happy, probably as compensation for her poor care of Ah Chun.

When the two returned to Yujin City, it was already dark, and Sazuo Chengzheng saw that Ah Chun looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help laughing:

"Don't worry, the battle against the Shenbao clan should be very easy, you don't have to worry about anything, stay in the city."

"No...... Ah Chun still wants to go out with you, just like before. ”

Sazuo Chengzheng wanted to refuse, but Ah Chun had hugged him tightly from behind silently, he listened to Ah Chun's heartbeat behind him, knowing that she was both nervous and expectant, and nodded after a little hesitation:

"Okay, this time, I'll take you along."

"Hay! Aligado a circus him! ”

Cheng Zheng turned around and saw Ah Chun's rosy lips pressed towards him......

After a long kiss, Ah Chun snuggled up to Chengzheng's chest with a flushed face, and said in a weak gnat voice:

"Husband-sama...... I...... I want ......" (To be continued.) )
