Yamamoto Tokiyuki led the reorganization of the Omi Reserve, and those who were willing to leave were regrouped together, and in the end, it was calculated that only 1,300 people were willing to follow the Kira family, and those who stayed accounted for the vast majority, so that the entire downward Kira Army was reduced to 4,300 people, whether it was compared with the 9,000 elites a few months ago, or the current 12,000 army, it was more than half.

For the samurai who are unwilling to go, he is no longer forced, the more armed people who stay in Omi, the more he is at ease, and no one knows whether it is a curse or a blessing to go down to Echigo, in case he is mixed in Echigo, as long as the two counties of Omi do not lose him, he can also have a way out, and the four reorganized reserves still use the names of Takashima, Sakamoto, Katata, and Otsu, each reserve has a quota of 1,500 people, and there are 2,000 Tongxin people responsible for the garrison and security management in the territory.

Then Kira Yoshitoki announced that he would stay in Sakamoto's executive body, and decided to transfer Masayuki Matsui to Sakamoto as the commissioner, and Odate Harutada, Ninagawa kincho, Yanagisawa Motomasa and others remained in their original positions, and announced that their annual salaries would be increased on a two-year basis, and that the strategy would continue to be implemented, and new news would be delivered.

Nakajo Tokihide served as Sakamoto Castle, Okochi Kunitsuna served as Usayama Castle, Suganuma Dingnao served as Katata Castle, Isshiki Naokaka served as Shimizuyama Castle, and the four of them were also promoted to serve as generals by virtue of Castle, with an annual salary of 150 Eiraku money, and the reserve of 6,000 Omi was led by Nakajo Tokihide and several Castle Generations, and Hattori Masashi was the remaining guard of the Kira family ninja army, this arrangement was also understood by the Omi samurai, and only this arrangement could ensure the Kira family's control over the territory.

At the same time, it was announced that the two thousand concentric people would be reorganized in the agricultural slack. Organize 2,000 adult men to rotate for no less than two months of military training. The training is divided into two months: May and October every year. Provision of food during training to maximize military deterrence.

In fact, it doesn't take much time for 2,000 people to train for two months every year, and the main purpose is to familiarize the townspeople with the use of weapons and equipment, the correct way to fight, and the basic tactical use in battle.

At the same time, the castle towns of Shiga and Takashima counties were renovated, and stone structures covered with triple earth were erected outside the castle courts, and patrols were carried out with the same police force. In wartime, they will bear the heavy responsibility of defending the territory, which already meets the basic standards of a Chinese-style city.

At the same time, the Kira Navy was reorganized, the Lake Biwa Navy Army, the main force of the Yodogawa Navy continued to retain the River to govern the inland waterways, and the control of Lake Biwa and Yodogawa was the trump card of the Kira family, and the main force of the Kira Navy was divided into two, and the general of the Navy was served by Yodogawa Mitsunaga, and the Nine Demons Shigetaka followed the Kira family to go down.

Then the business of Pipa House, Money House, and Sanhe House was still maintained. The Copper House and the Soga clan followed Kira Yoshitoki to Echigo, and of course the 2,000 people who were attached to the Copper House also followed the migration. Most of the craftsmen recruited by the Kira family were packed and pulled away, and Kuniyubei was also persuaded to have his sisters-in-law Kunitomo and Saemon accompany Echigo down with a dozen iron cannon craftsmen.

At the same time, the three houses will also start to establish a branch in Echigo Naoetsu as soon as possible, and the early deployment will start in mid-December, this time there are too many people who need to go down, including the families of Mikawa and Omibei, as well as various craftsmen, craftsmen, doctors and their families, there are 20,000 people who have moved to Echigo.

Such a large flow of people also made the long-tail Jinghu who had been staying in Sakamoto sigh, being able to increase the population by 20,000 at a time was a great good news for Echigo, and the long-tail Jinghu couldn't help but sigh at the generosity of the Kira family, the entire Echigo mountain people also counted the total population was less than 300,000, and his shot increased the population by one-tenth.

At the same time, the shogunate came forward to contact the Wakasa Takeda clan and the Echizen Asakura clan for Kira Yoshitoki, and asked Takeda Nobutoyo and Asakura Takakei to deploy ships to cooperate with the Kira family Echigo downward, and the two families naturally had nothing to say, as long as the Kira family was willing to pay for the ship.

The first migration began in late December, and at the same time, the four Ataka boats anchored in Lake Biwa had to be taken away, and they were of little use in the inland river, so it was very troublesome to transport the four Ataka ships to Wakasa Bay, so they first drove the Ataka boats to Shiotsu, Ika-gun, and then tied them with wood to form supports, and finally replaced them with rolling logs and transported them to Wakasa Bay little by little.

In the last ten days of December, Kira Yoshitoki spent his time on the migration of people and supplies, and there were too many people and things to take with him, which was no better than a few years ago when Kamiraku had prepared casually, including the craftsmen and utensils of the various workshops, the ships, and the families of the most important soldiers, all of which had to be arranged, and Nagao Keitoro also ordered the accompanying samurai to return to Echigo with his warrant to do the resettlement work.

The Shoden Imperial Festival in the 22nd year of Astronomy was still lively, and this time the daimyo of Kamirakunna's gift was much more than in previous years, and the daimyo scattered in distant countries sent their own envoys, and the whole of Kyoto was immersed in a jubilant atmosphere, and of course many people also found that Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who had just changed his name, was not very happy, and they could only hold it to understand.

Kira Yoshitoki only appeared on the day of the court meeting, and said that he had offered 500 pieces of Yongraku money to the shogunate and 300 pieces of Yongle money to the imperial court, and then he left the table and returned to Sakamoto, and many envoys from the eastern kingdom took the initiative to come to Sakamoto Castle to meet Kira Yoshishi after meeting the shogun, and they came to Kyoto to hear that a major event was about to happen in the shogunate.

He has been noncommittal about the concern of the samurai of the Eastern Kingdom, and when he returned to the castle tower, he saw Aju busy packing his luggage, and Kira Yoshishi smiled and said, "What is Aju busy with?" Just leave these little things to someone else. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern! Ah Ju thinks it's better to do more! Ah Ju smiled back at him and continued to get busy, just when he felt bored, Ah Ju turned back to him and said, "That's right! His Royal Highness Numata would like to ask if you would like to send Princess Sandalwood to Honmaru first? ”

"Well! Don't use it, right? Before the family and Tiger Ji get married, don't do it. Kira shook his head again and again, jokingly, so that he couldn't eat it all day long in the face of a beautiful and unparalleled beautiful girl, and that day must have been extremely painful.

"Your Highness, what kind of person is that Tiger Princess?" Speaking of the life-long event of Kira Yoshishi, Ah Ju also put down the things in his hand, walked to him with small steps, knelt down beside him, and asked softly, "Isn't it a beautiful and kind woman?" Will it be empathetic and warm, or will it be well-behaved and cute? ”

"Uh......" Lying on the tatami mat and looking at the sunset outside the window, Kira Yoshitoki rubbed his head and said, "I don't know how to describe her, but she shouldn't be one of them, right?" ”

"How so? His Royal Highness is the most adorable for such a cute boy, and that Tiger Queen must be a cute girl who is loved! Ah Ju folded her hands, showed a happy expression, turned her face sideways and asked, "It must be like this, right?" Your Highness! ”

"Well, you're right! It must be a cute girl......" Kira said with black lines on his head.

"Your Highness!" Chiyo Mochizuki poked her little head out from behind the paper door, shook the pigtail on her head, raised a little finger to the tip of her nose, and asked, "Chiyo must be a cute girl, right?" ”

"Huh, Chiyo-nu? Come here! Ah Ju clapped her hands like a puppy, and then opened her hands, Mochizuki Chiyo Nu trotted all the way into her arms, looking very happy, Ah Ju patted Chiyo Mochizuki's little head, and said with a smile: "Chiyo Nu is of course a cute girl, and Chiyo Nu is very obedient and obedient, Ah Ju likes Chiyo Nu very much!" ”

"Chiyo also likes Sister Aju!" Chiyo Mochizuki is like a kitten rubbing in Aju's arms, and her head is full of black lines when she looks at Kira Yoshi.

Standing up and walking to the terrace to look at Lake Biwa at sunset, the golden waves rippling in the breeze blowing from the lake, Kira Yoshitoki smiled and said to them, "Life in Kinai is coming to an end!" I hope to come back next time with a different identity. ”

Half a month passed, and in the early morning of January 17, Kira Yoshitoki stood in front of the Otemon Gate and tried his best to say goodbye to Nakajo Tokihide, Isshiki Naotakaka, Okochi Kunuzuna, Suganuma Dingnao, Odate Harutada, and others, looking at everyone's sad expressions, and said with a smile: "Don't have this expression, as if the family is ominous to go to Echigo this time." ”

The retainers said in unison, "Your Excellency, please don't say that!" We don't mean that! ”

Yamaoka stood up and laughed, "The hall master is just joking, don't you care!" Hahaha...... Ouch! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by Isshiki Naotaka, and scolded with a tiger face: "Zenjiro, don't be hippie and smiley!" Be sure to protect the Pavilion Master, or I'll let your father teach you a lesson in person! ”

As soon as Yamaoka heard his father's name, he immediately withered, and he didn't care about losing face, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, yes! I'll definitely remember! ”

"Also, Shiro will come out for me!" Isseki pointed at Isshiki Shixin, who was shrinking in the team, and the other party could only stand up in fear, bowing cautiously and saying, "Uncle! ”

"You two are members of my Kira family, you must protect the hall master, understand?"

The two looked at each other and replied firmly, "Yes!" ”

"That's it!" Kira Yoshishi turned over his horse and nodded at the long-tailed Jinghu on the other side, and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

The long procession converged into a long winding dragon that led to Wakasa Bay in the north, and as they marched to the port of Tsuruga, under the frightened and fearful gaze of the samurai of the Asakura family, the Kira army boarded one by one, and the Kuki Shigetaka led 500 sailors to escort the army to Echigo in three Ataka ships.

The accompanying family members need to be transported in batches, and it will take more than ten days before and after, and a total of more than 23,000 people will leave, and the departure of the Kira family also indicates that the sudden rise of young people will leave the battlefield of Kinai and devote themselves to the more complicated Kanto, I don't know how many people are rejoicing and disappointed. (To be continued......)
