Sure enough, after hearing Soji Tsugawa's words, Tadanobu Motoyama's eyes suddenly lit up!

"My lord, is this true?" Motoyama asked excitedly. Ｘ

Soji Tsugawa replied affirmatively, "Naturally, it's true!" ”

"He's all right!" Tadashi Motoyama said with his hands dancing, "Staying in Wakimoto City all day to train, I'm about to get moldy!" Lord, who are we going to fight? Nanbu home or Anton's house?? Motoyama asked eagerly.

Soji Tsugawa shook his head, "Neither the Nanbu family nor the Ando family. ”

"Huh?" Motoyama Tadanobu and Saigo Kizo glanced at each other, and then said puzzledly, "My lord! Now among the enemies of this family, only the Anton family and the southern family need to dispatch the naval army! These two families don't fight, do they want us to go to the sea to rob passing merchant ships??? ”

Honestly, it's not bad if you let yourself go back to your old ways. It's better than staying in a daze in the city, Benshan Zhong thought to himself.

"Bastard!" After listening to Motoyama's words, Tsugawa Soji suddenly said with an angry face, "What are you talking about? The family is now famous in Okuyu, isn't this kind of bandit smearing the face of the family? ”

"Besides, you can make a lot of money by robbing merchant ships! This is something that my family doesn't care about at all! After Tsugawa Soji finished speaking, he glanced at Motoyama Tadanobu with disdain.

"Eh....." After Soji Tsugawa finished speaking, Tadanobu Motoyama and Saigo Kizo on the side were suddenly speechless.

Saigo Muzao opened his mouth at this time and said, "But my lord, if the navy of this family is dispatched, who will I go back to deal with?" Among the surrounding forces, except for the Andong family and the southern family, there are no forces that are hostile to the main family! ”

"That's it! I won't sell it to you! Soji Tsugawa said boredly, "Next, the task of the naval army is to try to capture this place!" As he spoke, Soharu Tsugawa pointed his finger to a place on the map behind him.

As Tsugawa Soji pointed in the direction, Saigo Kizo was confused, but Motoyama Tadanobu, the leader of the pirates who had previously crossed the sea, directly shouted, "Sado Island? ”

"My lord, are you going to let us go to Sado Island?" Tadanobu Motoyama reconfirmed.

"Exactly!" Soji Tsugawa replied with a nod of certainty.

Tadanobu Motoyama stared at Soji Tsugawa with a strange look, and then said, "My lord! What is the use of Sado Island, a place where birds don't, if you occupy it! With this in mind, it would be better to go directly to the Tsugaru Strait and cut off the sea trade route between Ezo and Tsugaru. Motoyama couldn't help but grumble.

Soji Tsugawa raised his eyes, "What?" Are you questioning your family's decision? ”

"Don't dare!" Seeing that Tsugawa Soji was angry, Motoyama Tadanobu hurriedly said, "I just think that the land of ten thousand stones in Sado Island is really not worth the family's big fight." "For Tsugawa Soji, Motoyama Zhong is extremely convinced. After all, looking at the entire Ou region, who has developed to the point where it is today like Soharu Tsugawa?

However, although Motoyama Tadanobu admires Tsugawa Soji, Motoyama Tadanobu still has his own pride, such as the sea.

Motoyama Tadanobu prides himself on being very familiar with the entire sea area of Higashiyama Road and Kitaji Road, and although he doesn't know much about the situation on Sado Island, he still knows a little about it. The merchant ships that have always robbed back and forth know more or less some information from their counterparts in the past.

A place like Sado Island is of no value at all in the eyes of Tadanobu Motoyama. The territory is small, the stone height is very low, the population is sparse, and there are no precious products on the island. Tadanobu Motoyama really couldn't understand why Soharu Tsugawa wanted to occupy Sado Island.

Tsugawa Soji didn't want to say much, although he didn't doubt Motoyama's loyalty to him, but there were some things that Tsugawa Soji didn't want to say directly for the time being. After all, there are so many gold and silver mines on Sado Island, who knows that such a huge wealth will not be tempted by Tadanobu Motoyama after knowing it?

Most of the current naval forces of the Tsugawa family are the old subordinates of the former Motoyama Tadanobu, and in case Ichiyama Tadanobu can't resist the temptation, he will rebel from the Tsugawa family when the time comes. The naval army of the Natsugawa family was directly abolished, and without the naval army, Natsugawa Soji could only sigh in the face of Sado Island.

"That's it! Attacking Sado Island is something that my family has been thinking about for a long time, so you don't need to say more! Your immediate priority now is to return to the castle and prepare your navy to prepare for battle, as soon as the order is given! Do you understand? Soji Tsugawa said loudly.

"Hah!" Motoyama Tadanobu hurriedly replied.

After arranging Motoyama Tadanobu, Tsugawa Soji temporarily asked Motoyama Tadanobu to return to Wakimoto Castle first, and then left Saigo Kizuku.

Compared with Motoyama Tadanobu, Tsugawa Soji is much more at ease with Saigo Kizo, and there are some things that can be properly told to Saigo Kizo, so that Saigo Kizo has some bottom in his heart.

However, before Tsugawa Soji could speak, Saigo Kizo spoke first, "My lord, I am quite puzzled about the capture of Sado Island. As Lord Motoyama said, Sado Island didn't know that the family was going to attack it so aggressively. ”

"Sado Island is far from my family's territory, and there is no land route, so you can only take the sea route! Moreover, the height of the stone is only about 10,000 stones, and the population of the island is not large, so even if it is captured, it will not make much sense for the family. Saigo asked with a puzzled expression.

"Huh!" Soji Tsugawa chuckled, then glanced meaningfully at Saigo Kizo, "What if the family told you that there are gold and silver mountains on Sado Island?" And it's also a mine with huge reserves! ”

"What!" Saigo Kizo's mouth suddenly opened slightly, and he looked at Tsugawa Soji in disbelief, "There are gold and silver mountains on Sado Island, and the reserves are huge?" How does the lord know? ”

"There are indeed a lot of gold and silver mines on Sado Island, and the reserves are unimaginably large! As for how the family knows, you don't need to know. Now your task is that once you capture Sado Island, you will have explored for gold and silver mining on the island. Soji Tsugawa continued, "There is no doubt that there are gold and silver mountains on Sado Island, but the family does not know the exact location of the gold and silver mountains, so once the family captures Sado Island, the first priority is to find out the specific location of the gold and silver mountains before they can be mined." ”

"How about wooden, can you be sure?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

After listening to Tsugawa Soji's words, Saigo Kizo suddenly said confidently, "My lord! In the land of Sado Island, if there are really mountains of gold and silver, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will definitely dig out the mountains of gold and silver! ”

"Good!" Soji Tsugawa patted Saigo Kizo's shoulder with satisfaction, and then said, "When you come down, go and discuss this matter with Umino Rokuro immediately!" The matter of Sado Island is a top secret, and no one is allowed to tell me! Do you understand? ”

"Hah!" r
