Haneda Castle

The Fuso Buddhism was very powerful, and many daimyo made offerings to the Buddhism to cultivate merits.

In the tea room in the city, a monk is ordering tea.

This monk is about forty years old, with kind eyebrows and good eyes, and a solemn appearance.

After enjoying some tea, Haneda Mizumi asked, "Master Yasuji, what do you think of it now?"

Monk Anji said: "My lord, since the seventy-two life roots were killed, the land under its control has gradually collapsed, and with this, in Tosa, the luck of the Yoshihei family and the Yeyun family, which originally inherited the bloodline, has declined, and the poor monk has come to the adult, and tried his best to persuade the adult not to miss the opportunity, and the time has come to unify Tosa." ”

"The master said this, but I believed it. Haneda Mizumi leaned over and said, "Although the luck of these two families has declined, but the food and soldiers and horses are still there, I don't know what the master has to do?"

"In the two counties under the control of the adults, there are many wild, which can be harvested by the local villagers and transported to Kyoto and Osaka to be sold, so as to make a profit, which can be more than 5,000 kan, which is more than enough to fill the military rations for this march. Monk Anzhi said.

Hearing this, Haneda Miizumi was silent for a while, and said: "I admire the master's good strategy, thank you for your advice." ”

On February 23, the Haneda family raised troops to attack the Ye Yun family, sending a total of 1,100 troops, of which 200 were cavalry, which was pressed up like a bang, and the Ye Yun family sent 1,500 troops to fight in the field.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the Haneda family general Sasaki Tadanobu led the cavalry to rush into the enemy formation, and the spears were connected, and all the interceptors were killed, and they rushed in, looking at Noyun Yoshimura to rush and kill.

Ye Yunyi Village clenched the reins of his horse with both hands, but was frightened by this charge, and turned to flee.

"The head of the family abandoned us and left!" The news suddenly spread, and the entire Yeyun army suddenly became in an uproar, and Sasaki Tadanobu took the opportunity to charge, daring to block all of them from being assassinated by a single shot, and then rushed into a few zhang, and the Yeyun army finally couldn't support it and collapsed.

The army took the opportunity to rush and kill, and the Yeyun army was defeated, beheading 200 ranks, dropping 600, and scattering 400, only 200 people followed Yeyunyi Village back to the city.

Haneda Mizumi besieged but did not attack, and at this time the Yoshihei family led troops to support, but it was expected to be attacked halfway, and was defeated when crossing the river, losing 500 men, and had to retreat.

The Noru family, who had been waiting for help, was demoralized after learning the news, and fell into the city after besieging the city for half a month, and the Nokumi family was destroyed, while the Haneda family occupied the territory of the Nomo family and seized Gogawa County, and the stone height increased to 40,000 koku, becoming the first powerful man in Tosa Province.

The people who watched this battle were not only the soldiers of the two armies, but also some special people, including Lao Dao.

"Master, this battle Haneda family has won. A Taoist boy said.

"It's a victory, this battle is won, although the Yoshihei family has not been destroyed, but the luck has been cut by half, the Haneda family has the qualification to unify Tosa, if nothing else, within ten years can unify Tosa, according to the contract of the year, we can get one-tenth of the luck of the Haneda family. ”

"Then we can continue to support the Haneda family to unify Shikoku. ”

"Hey, why do we support the Haneda family to unify the four countries? You have to remember that the object of support cannot be too strong, nor too weak, if the Haneda family unifies the four countries and has 1.3 million stones in the four countries, then it will be difficult for us to control, don't forget, this is Fuso, we can't directly control it. ”

Dao Tong was stunned and asked, "Then according to the master's opinion, what is next?"

"Immediately turn to Iyo Province and support the Aoda family of Iyo Province to unify Iyo Province, we can also obtain one-tenth of the luck of Iyo Province, and finally pit the Haneda family and the Aoda family against each other, and neither can unify Shikoku, and no one can get rid of our control. ”

"Then what Iyo Province wants to eradicate is the god of Toyokure?"

Lao Dao glanced at Dao Tong and said: "What you said is not wrong, it is the god of the sea, it is not easy to kill, and the status is different from the seventy-two gods, if you kill it, I am afraid that it will immediately alarm the Tianjin god." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Dao sighed with emotion: "In this case, I am afraid that this Wang Cunye can only go so far, but for the great cause of my Penglai Dao Palace, it is also glorious to sacrifice, not only Wang Cunye, even us, it is the same, do you understand?"

Dao Tong Ji Shou, said in a solemn voice: "Yes, I am willing to die for the great cause of Penglai Dao Palace!"

Hearing this, Lao Dao smiled slightly, changed the topic and said: "Of course, this Wang Cunye is not from our Dao Palace after all, he is only afraid that he will be suspicious, so we can give some benefits, urge the Haneda family to give Wang Cunye the gods, and hand over the surrounding five hundred stone land deeds to him." ”

Speaking of this, with a little contempt: "In this way, he will have some peace of mind, and he can unconsciously let him sacrifice for the great cause." ”

"Yes, understood!" "I'll tell you about it." ”

The capture of Gogawa-gun led to the capture of Shigeta Castle, which was the only way to pass by sea, and there was a plain near the sea.

Haneda Miizumi entered with the army and looked at a castle, which was built on a hill, 150 meters above the sea, and the top was cut into flat ground, and the big castle was built here, and the mountains were connected to the castle, and in the center of the Honmaru, five stories were built that stretched down, and the walls of the castle were very strong.

The two gates were the residences of the samurai, and below were the castles and endless fields.

Although he only has 40,000 koku in his hands now, with this castle, he will be able to unify the Tosa Province with a whopping 194,000 koku, and after land inspection and the construction of a canal, it can be increased to 300,000 koku!

For Haneda Miizumi, the city is exactly what he wants.

"Your Highness, with this castle, you can look down on Tosa and even Shikoku. Nogawa Naganobu, an important minister in the family, said congratulatorily.

Haneda Miizumi watched calmly, glanced at it, then turned and walked away, saying, "Have the Haura people under the town surrendered?"

Most of them were fishermen, but they were just merged into one body, and they often came and went to rob, and most of the pirates of this era were like this.

His Majesty was so frightened that the Bopu people did not agree. Nogawa Nagasobu replied.

Hearing this, the atmosphere froze for a while, the expression on Haneda Mizumi's face disappeared, and he turned around and walked down, saying, "Get rid of the leader and change people to be my water army." ”

"Hey, but your majesty thinks that there must be a reason to kill him, killing him is just a momentary pleasure, at least it will cause chaos, and at worst it will be bad for my family, and now I haven't unified Tosa Province yet!"

"What you're saying is, what is your strategy?"

"We can deliberately spread rumors, and that guy will surely build up his own army to fight his own family, and quickly plunder the wealth of the merchants. ”

"At that time, you can justifiably kill him!" Haneda Mizumi smiled, Mizumi and Naganobu are both monarchs and friends, Nagabunaga Mizumi is five years old and has a territory of 700 stones, but if he captures this county, he will definitely grow, and he will surely become a minister of a thousand stones.

"Well, my lord, you still have to go to the rice field shrine to pay a visit, which is beneficial to the people. Nogawa Naganobu saw that he had solved one thing, and said another thing.

Shrines and temples were influential in the area, and the visit of the new conqueror to the incense was a gesture of respect and peace of mind for the people of the newly occupied land.

Hearing this, Haneda Mizumi nodded, and suddenly said: "Speaking of this, I thought of the seventy-two root shrines again, and now they are in the hands of the family, what do you think?"

"My lord, since you have already promised to hand it over, why should you regret it for the sake of these five hundred stones? The courtier still said this, there are 200,000 stones in Tosa Province alone!"

"That's right.,Pass the order.,Transfer the shrine to Omada Kunishin.,As for the land around the shrine.,This is when the family finishes inspecting the land.,And then give it to Andu.。 ”

"Hey!" Nogawa replied.

Boundary Town

Kurajiro inspected the ship's cargo, and there were a few new faces on board.

Although it is not a pirate, but the ship still has, and also transports some goods for sale, most of this ship is weapons, dyes, paper, and some are tobacco, regular round trips, in addition to carrying goods on the ship, but also passengers, in a month, you can also earn more than 100 times.

"How's the business?" asked one of the passengers, who was very handsome, with a purple strap, a muscular physique, a fair complexion, and thick eyebrows, but with a childish look, showing the identity of a teenager.

"It's hard to make money, these samurai are very good at calculating!" said Kurajiro, "but I made a fortune in Tosa!"

"When there is a war, some weapons are broken, and the weapons that have been seized are sold to us, and we will transport them to Jiezhen to be refurbished and processed and resold to earn some labor costs. ”

"But this is better at sea than on the land trade routes, which are full of checkpoints. ”

When the young man heard this, he looked at the sea and said, "Even so, it's already good, if you are a samurai, once you have a life, you will put on armor and go into battle, and it is common to die on the battlefield!"

Speaking of this, the young man got up and said, "You are from the Konda family, right?"

As soon as he said this, Kurajiro couldn't help but be shocked and touched the hilt of the knife.

"Don't panic, I'm a samurai of the Haneda family, and I'm on the orders of the lord to bring a charter to the governor of your family, please lead the way!"

Kurajiro hesitated for a moment, jumped off the dock, and said, "Keep up!"

Spring arrived, but in the morning there was still a layer of mist, so I walked down the street for a while and arrived at the Sakurakan.

At this time, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and there are 20 cherry trees planted in the yard, and the cherry blossoms in full bloom are like a cloud of crimson clouds.

The pavilions here are hidden, the winding paths are quiet, the flowing water is deep, the dark fragrance is overflowing, and from time to time there are gorgeously dressed maids coming and going, this pattern alone is different, the young samurai was suddenly startled, and put away the thoughts of underestimating.

After Kurajiro's report, as soon as the young samurai entered, he was even more shocked, and the Kuninobu Omada in front of him did not look a few years older than him, but his expression was calm and majestic, which suddenly reminded him of his lord.

"I am a samurai of the Haneda family, and I brought a charter on the orders of the lord. The young samurai said.

"Bring it!" Wang Cunye said lightly, and did not get up to salute, this envoy of the small and famous people of Fusang District still dared to salute himself?

When the young warrior heard this, his face immediately turned red, and his hand was about to touch the hilt of the sword.

"Hmph!" Wang Cunye snorted coldly, and suddenly a wave of mana pressed up, and the young man suddenly felt that the boulder was pressed on his body, and he only resisted for a moment, and then knelt down.

Kurajiro stepped forward to take down the charter and handed it to Wang Cunye, who looked at it and said, "Good!"
