On October 10, the twelfth year of Astronomy, a piece of news swept through the entire Yugo region. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The powerful people of the Binai region have undergone drastic changes. October 8 was the day when the second son of the head of the Asari family, Asari Katsuyori, married the daughter of the Ishigami Nobubo, a major minister of the southern family, when everyone gathered in the castle tower.

The eldest son of the Asari Lai Lai joined forces with the Asari Lai Chong, the Asari Dinglai, and the Asari Zhenglai of the Asari family, and sent troops to surround the castle tower, forcing the Asari Zelai to live in seclusion, and gave up the position of the governor to the eldest son Zeyou.

Immediately afterwards, the second son, Asari Katsuyori, succeeded to the Dage family of the wealthy family that had become extinct, and changed his name to Dage Katsurai, and the city was located in the Binai area next to the Dage Pavilion of Antler County. At this point, the real power of the Qianli family fell into the hands of Qianli Zeyou and Qianli Laizhong and others.

When Tsugawa Soji learned the news, he was also very surprised, because although the next head of the Asari family in history was also Asari Noriyu, it was not a rebellion. And this is also a matter of several years later, I don't know why such a thing as a change of family governor happened in advance.

However, the Tsugawa family and the Asari family did not have much intersection, and Tsugawa Soharu didn't care much.

However, the turmoil of the Asari family is not over.

On October 15, there was another SAO riot in the Asari family. The important ministers of the Asari family, Maeyama Zensuke, the lord of Otakikan, and Ota Seihisa, the lord of the twelve castles, were dissatisfied with the fact that Asari Noriyoshi and others forced Asari Noriri to live in seclusion, and united the wealthy clans of Antler County to support the Daikata Katsuyori and raise the anti-flag.

On October 17, 800 troops were sent to attack the residence of Dage Katsuyo, and the side of Dage Katsurai was even better than the side of Asari Zeyou because of the support of the Ori clan and the Mao Mane clan of the Antler County.

When the two sides were at a stalemate, the already reclusive Shari Lai sent troops to respond to Da Ge Shenglai in the secluded Fangze Pavilion. The prestige of the Asari family was very high, so in less than two days, the Asari Lei Rai mobilized 200 peasants and soldiers and began to march towards the city of Duco, the original stronghold of the Asanli family. Fortunately, Asari Noriyo's father-in-law, Yagibashi Castle Lord Mowaki Masanori, sent troops to block Asari Noriyoshi's troops, otherwise Asari Noriyo's side would be in danger.

Fierce fighting broke out between the two sides in the next few days, but neither could help the other. In order to stabilize the territory, Asari Zeyou and others had to lead the army to retreat to Ducot City, and Da Ge Shenglai did not dare to pursue, and disbanded the troops.

October 25, 12th year of astronomy, inside Tsugawa Castle.

Soji Tsugawa was silent for a while after learning about the situation of the Asari family from Taro Iwaki.

The SAO turmoil in the Asari family made Soji Tsugawa smell a hint of conspiracy.

"The Ori clan is a member of the national security clan of Antler County, and belongs to the subordinate family of Hiyama Anto, and the Maunai family is a subordinate of the southern family, and these two wealthy clans openly support Daige Katsurai, and it seems that the Hiyama Andong family and the southern family signaled it. The purpose is to make the Asari family messy, and the more chaotic the better. In this way, the two families can seek their own benefits. Soharu Tsugawa thought to himself.

"Jiro, send a few more ninjas to closely monitor the situation of the Asari family, and the Nanbu family and the Hiyama Anto family will also send people to monitor their movements." Soji Tsugawa said to Jiro Iwaki beside him.

"Hah!" Jiro Iwaki hurriedly replied.

"Xingjia, how is the progress of the construction of Mt. Ueno now?" Soji Tsugawa then said to Takahashi Koke beside him.

Takahashi Koke replied, "My lord, the day before yesterday, there was news from Lord Saigo that the summit of Mt. Ueno had been flattened, and the construction of the new town had begun. It is expected to be largely completed around December this year. ”

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded, and then said, "Send someone to tell Saigo Kizo that it is better to slow down the progress a little bit in order to ensure the quality of the new castle." ”

"Yes! Lord! Takahashi said loudly.

"My lord! Kamiyama Castle Mizutani-sama asks to see you! At this time, a flag book said loudly outside the castle tower.

"Kuji Mizutani?" Soji Tsugawa turned his head and said, "Let him in." ”

"Yes!"

After a short time, Hisaharu Mizutani entered the castle tower.

"Hisaharu Mizutani has seen the lord!" After entering the castle tower, Hisaharu Mizutani saluted Soji Tsugawa.

Soji Tsugawa came to the throne and sat down, and then said, "Kuji, is there something wrong?" ”

Kuji Mizutani hurriedly replied, "There is indeed something. ”

"Do you remember the Daze family?" Hisaharu Mizutani asked suddenly.

Tsugawa Soji thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I have some impressions, when the Ozawa family's Shangshan family rebelled, it was your father Nagaji Gong who asked the family to send troops to rescue, but it's a pity that it's ......." Tsugawa Soji said that there was still a little sadness here.

When it comes to Mizutani Nagaji, Mizutani Hisaharu is also a little sad, but Mizutani Hisaharu is not here to talk about this today. Then he said, "My lord, it is like this. The original governor of the Osawa family, Osawa Kochi, is now 15 years old, and his subordinates are still taking care of the duties of the future servants. Osawa Castle is also a subordinate serving as the city representative. Now that Osawa Kochi has grown up, according to the agreement between the lord and his father, Osawa Castle should be delivered to Osawa Kochi. ”

"Well, that's true." Soji Tsugawa nodded.

At that time, when the Tsugawa family only had Kadoyama Castle and Tsugawa Castle, the Osawa family's Kamiyama family rebelled. Mizutani Nagaji, a retainer of the Osawa family, found Tsugawa Soji and asked the Tsugawa family to send troops to support. Afterwards, Mizutani Kuji committed suicide, and before his death, Tsugawa Soji promised to return the old territory of the Osawa family to Osawa Kochi when he grew up.

However, Tsugawa Soji had long forgotten about it, and if it hadn't been for Mizutani Kuji to mention it, Tsugawa Soji would have almost forgotten that there was a person named Osawa Kochi. But after all, it was a promise made by oneself, and it should still be kept.

"Jiuji, how much was the Zhixing of the Osawa family back then?" Soji Tsugawa asked.

Kuji Mizutani handed one of the accounts on his body to Soji Tsugawa, and then said, "The old territory of the Osawa family was originally 700 stone for Osawa Castle and 600 stone for Kamiyama Castle. ”

"Well, then give 700 stones to Osawa Kochi in Osawa Castle, and appoint Osawa Kochi as the general of the family!" Soharu Tsugawa said after thinking twice.

Mizutani Hisaharu hurriedly said happily, "Thank you, lord!" ”

"In addition, the 600 stones of Zhixing in Shangshan Castle that his subordinates possess also ask the lord to allow his subordinates to deliver to Osawa Kochi, after all, it is the last wish of the ancestors, and I also ask the lord to agree." Hisaharu Mizutani continued.

Tsugawa Soji nodded when he heard this, and said, "Jiuzhi really has the demeanor of a father, and I am very pleased that there is a knowledge under the spring of Changzhi. That's it! ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Hisaharu Mizutani said excitedly.

"However, in this way, your knowledge and deeds will be less than 600 stones, are you really willing to do it?" Soji Tsugawa asked with a smile.

Mizutani Hisaharu smiled slowly, "It's all about serving the lord, let alone the size of the knowledge and action, as long as the loyalty to the lord is not reduced." ”

"Haha!" Soji Tsugawa laughed and said, "Good! You can say that, my family is very happy! In this case, I will give you another 600 stones from Maeda Castle Zhiyuki, and you will be appointed as the lord of Shimoda Maeda Castle. ”

"Thank you, my lord! Mizutani Kuji is determined to die for the Tsugawa family! Mizutani said gratefully.

Seeing Kuji Mizutani's expression, Soji Tsugawa nodded with satisfaction. Compared with the loyalty of an important minister, what is a mere 600 Shi Zhixing?
