……

Seeing Bai Zemaru's ambiguous expression, Yoshibei suddenly couldn't figure out what he meant, so he cautiously asked, "Lord Castle, do you agree or not?" ”

Bai Zemaru shook the folding fan lightly and replied slowly: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to get this fief at all." ”

Yoshibei: "Lord Castle, what do you mean by that?" Do you think that my Shimazu family will still deceive you? ”

Bai Ze Maru: "At the moment of the situation in Dongying, your Excellency doesn't really think that I don't know anything about Nanwang City?" The coalition forces of the Kamishi family are already about to reach Kyoto,

Your Shimazu family is about to enter the ground, please come and tell me at this time to give me a piece of hundreds of thousands of stone high fiefdom, then after the matter is completed, your Shimazu family has no bones,

Who should I call for this fief? Do you think that seeing that I am young, handsome and easy to talk, you plan to play with a white wolf pinch with an empty hand? ”

Yoshibei hurriedly shouted: "The Shimazu family will not be defeated by that group of despicable rebels, please have confidence in my Shimazu family." ”

"But the truth is that your forces in Kyoto have been beaten like dogs all the way, so how can I have confidence in you? Oh, that's so embarrassing,

I am friends with the Shimazu family, and it stands to reason that my friend asks me for help, and I have no reason to refuse, because refusal will make my conscience very disturbed, and I can't sleep at night or eat.

But, however, it's just ...... But you play with me to paint cakes to satisfy hunger, it really chills my heart, if I help you,

In the future, the rest of the daimyo will know that I, Kashizawa Maru, is a simple-minded yellow-haired child, so wouldn't I be very shameless? ”

Yoshibei's face changed: "What does the city lord mean by this, is it not going to accept the sincerity of the Shimazu family's release?" ”

When he said this, there was a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Oops, don't look at me like that, I'm going to be scared, once I'm scared ......"

Suddenly, Bai Zemaru put away the folding fan in his hand, and the cynicism on his face instantly dissipated, replaced by a strong murderous intent, and his tone was also a lot more solemn.

"This price, can you afford it as a small retainer!"

Only then did Yoshibei react, and a drop of cold sweat trickled down his cheeks.

The man from the Central Plains in front of him is a terrible man who controls the entire Dongying market!

"It's my fault to ask the lord of the castle to atone for my sins, and apologize to you for my rude behavior before!"

He hurriedly bowed to Kashizawa Maru and apologized, so as not to attract more displeasure from the moody boy.

"Okay, Jibei, I don't need to embarrass you, after all, such a big thing is not something that you can figure out as an identity, go back and tell your master, just say that Nanwangcheng can't help this matter."

"Lord of the Castle ......"

Yoshibei was obviously unwilling to fail like this, and spoke again.

"Actually, the head of the family also said a word before I came, let me convey it to you."

"Say it."

Yoshibei plucked up his courage and said: "The head of the Shimazu family said that the reason why Nanwangcheng has become a pivotal force in Dongying over the years is mainly because of the chaotic situation in Dongying.

But once this situation is broken, how long can Nanwang City last? Whether it's the Kami-shirt family or the Matsudaira family, they are all placed in the unification of the East,

Dare to ask the lord of the castle would like to see the day when the war in Dongying subsides? Please also think more about your own future, when the time comes, how many people are still willing to accept the existence of Nanwang City? ”

"Huh?"

Yoshibei's words caused Kashiwa Maru to think deeply.

Yes, once Dongying is peaceful, will Nanwang City still become a place of yearning for those down-and-out ronins? Will he still be an absolute figure who will influence the situation in Dongying?

After thinking about it for a while, Kashiwa Maru made up his mind: "Go back and tell Shimazu Hiroritsu, just say that his task, Nanwangcheng took it!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Castle!"

Ji Bing immediately bowed his head and bowed, his face full of excitement.

……

On the streets of Nanwangjo, Yoshitaka Kamitsu looks at the opening of various towns, and the faces of the residents living in the castle are filled with happiness.

Just as he was passing by a pontoon bridge, he collided head-on with Matsudaira Motoyasu.

"Mr. Topshirt."

"Master Matsudaira, I'm glad to be there!"

Matsudaira Motoyasu said to the samurai on the side, "You guys stand down first, I want to talk to Mr. Kami-chan alone." ”

"Hi Yi~"

After the guards heard the order to retreat, Matsudaira Motoyasu smiled and said to Yoshitaka Superior: "Mr. Superior, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Yoshitaka nodded and made a gesture, and the two walked down the driftwood bridge together, came to an izakaya not far away, and found a remote private room to ensure that they would not be disturbed.

As soon as the two of them took their seats, Matsudaira Motoyasu took the initiative to pour a glass of water and wine for Yoshitaka Ueshi, then bowed slightly, and said to him: "Mr. Ueshi, first of all, I want to congratulate you, your coalition army has conquered Jialong, and you have arrived at the foot of Sholang Castle to confront the army of the Shimazu Daimyo.

With the support from the Central Plains Army, I think it's only a matter of time before Kyoto changes hands. ”

Yoshitaka bowed slightly: "Matsudaira family master, what you said made Yu very puzzled, aren't you also a member of Kyoto?" From a standpoint, our two sides should be on the opposite side. ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu: "No, my Matsudaira family only wants to make friends, and I never want to be an enemy of any party, and the benevolence of the Shangshan family is also very admired below,

Therefore, I propose here that I hope that we can put aside our prejudices and work together to overthrow the Shimazu family's occupation of Kyoto.

The royal family that welcomes back the Oda bloodline is near, and the re-intake of the east is over! I don't know if the head of the shirt family is willing? ”

Yoshitaka frowned: "Master Matsudaira, just say it bluntly, what do you want from the rest of the place?" ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu smiled faintly: "I would like to ask Mr. Kamishi to introduce me to the generals of the Celestial Empire, and then, after Kyoto is taken down, I can hand over the inheritance of the shogunate to the Matsudaira family!" ”

Yoshitaka looked at him with a stunned face, and he really couldn't believe that this treacherous old man didn't hide his ambitions.

As if seeing through Yoshitaka Ueshi's questioning, Matsudaira Motoyasu replied directly: "Mr. Ueshi, there is no need to be so surprised, for a benevolent and righteous person like you, there is no need to cover up your purpose.

I know that Mr. Shangshan's benevolence and righteousness are well-known in Guanbei Guanzhong, however, the way of governing the country cannot be maintained by benevolence and righteousness alone.

With the help of the Han army, it is not a problem to conquer Kyoto and exterminate Shimazu, but what about after that? Faced with a lot of messes, how does Mr. Shirt plan to clean up? ”

Yoshitaka Kamiki closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, as Matsudaira Motoyasu said, the Kamishi family has not been very suitable for internal affairs for generations, and there were 137 rebellions in his own territory of Echigo Province when his father was there.

It can be said that Yoshitaka Kamishi's father was either in the counterinsurgency or on the way to counterinsurgency in his life, which also led to the fact that when Yoshitaka Kamisaki took over Echigo Province, his strength was far inferior to that of other daimyos, and he had to attach himself to Nanwangcheng until he had negotiations with the Han Dynasty before he quickly re-emerged.

Therefore, the Kamishi family is indeed not good at governing the country, and in contrast, the scheming Matsudaira Motoyasu is more suitable for inheriting the shogunate.

After all, the places governed by Matsudaira Motoyasu ended up being either rich or expensive, and in the end, the poor Kanto Five Kingdoms were governed in an orderly manner and became a rich area.

This kind of ability is definitely not comparable to Yoshitaka Kamitsu.

But......

"Master Songping, Yu can't make an argument and agree to you, this matter must be discussed with General Zhang before it can be decided!"

"That's natural, please be sure to introduce General Zhang on my behalf!"

"Definitely!"
