"In addition, immediately send someone to inform the head of the Oura family, Oura Weinori, the head of the Oyamauchi family, the head of the Koyamauchi family, the head of the three families, the head of the three families, the head of the three households, the head of the nine households, the head of the nine households, the head of the seven households, Nobunao Shichinohe, and set up roadblock posts on the traffic arteries throughout the Mutsu area to guard against the further attack of the bandits!"

"Then, the people of the Mutsu area are restricted from entering and leaving the territory, and they are not allowed to walk in the territory at will except for activities near the village! If there is a violation of this order, once discovered, it is allowed to be killed directly! ”

"There is a curfew at night! Every day after the end of the day (19-21), no one is allowed to go out of the castle town, all the main roads, and the village exchange, and those who violate the order will be killed! As the words of Tsugawa Soji continued to sound in the hall, listening to the murderous voice coming from the ears, many retainers were palpitating.

"In addition, inform the people of each village in the Mutsu area that if anyone reports a bandit, if it is found to be correct, one person who reports it will receive 50 koko! If more than 10 people are reported, they or their descendants can be exempted from agricultural tax for 20 years! ”

"If you provide favorable clues, you can also get a big reward!" Soji Tsugawa continued.

The retainers in the palace were very much in agreement with Tsugawa Soji's proposal, but when Tsugawa Soji's last proposal was finished, many of the retainers were confused.

Yajima Tadabei was even more puzzled and said, "My lord! What the elite ninjas of the family led by Lord Iwaki can't find out, can it be that the people in the domain can play a role? I'm afraid this is a bit redundant, right? ”

After Yajima Tadabei finished speaking, many retainers nodded their heads.

As for Yajima Tadahei's words, Tsugawa Soji smiled and said nothing, "Hmph! If you all knew the power of the people, you wouldn't be hung up and beaten by my great men in the Celestial Dynasty hundreds of years later. ”

As a traverser and a young man who is often baptized by red propaganda, Tsugawa Soji knows very well that these people, who are often easily overlooked, can actually play a huge role.

If nothing else, let's take this bandit incident as an example.

Since Iwaki Jiro and others have also found out that the large-scale bandit attack that occurred in the Mutsu area this time, except for some of the bandits who were real bandits, the rest were mostly fake. Since they are fake, then they will naturally have a real identity.

And this true identity is obviously very difficult for dozens of ninjas of the Tsugawa family to find out one by one in a short period of time. And if tens of thousands of people in the Mutsu region join this ranks, then these people mixed in with it will naturally have nowhere to hide!

I think back then, the strength of the masses in Area Y of my Celestial Dynasty was comparable to several divisions! Whether it's the Piaochang Brigade or the Xidu Brigade, as long as you dare to take the lead, you will definitely die.

And today, Tsugawa Soji also wants to show the samurai who think highly of themselves in this era in the Tsugawa family domain how vast the power from the people is!

.........

With a heavy heart, Enta Abe slowly entered the castle tower of Ueno Castle.

It was already evening, and the sky was getting dark. Abe Enta went straight from Naganiu Castle to Ueno Castle non-stop, changing four or five horses along the way before arriving at Ueno Castle before dark.

When he saw Soji Tsugawa with a gloomy face on the throne, Abe Enta couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Slowly came to Tsugawa Soji's side, Abe Enta hurriedly saluted Tsugawa Soji and said, "Abe Enta has seen the lord!" ”

However, I don't know if Tsugawa Soji didn't hear it or what, and he didn't react to Abe's arrival at Tsugawa Soji. And Abe Entai felt that he was at a loss, and thought that Tsugawa Soji intended to blame him, so he had to kneel on the ground and dare not get up.

In fact, Tsugawa Soji had already seen Abe Enta come in, but Tsugawa Soji did not plan to deal with Abe Enta immediately, but first dried Abe Enta.

Time went by little bit, Abe Enta knelt on the ground and felt that his legs were a little numb, and just when he was about to hold on, Tsugawa Soji finally spoke, "Abe Enta, do you know why the family called you over?" ”

After hearing Tsugawa Soji's words, Abe Enta's heart suddenly "chuckled", looking at this situation, it must be that the things committed by himself and others were known by Tsugawa Soji!

"Made! I don't know which bastard told the secret, if I find out, see if I don't strip you naked and throw you into the dung pit! Abe Enta silently cursed the members of the Yamaguchi group who were "high-secret" to Tsugawa Soji.

However, Abe Enta didn't know that Tsugawa Soji learned some of the latest information about Abe Enta and others from Nozawa and Kuro.

Nozawa and Kuro's "new officials" first tasted the sweetness in Minezawa City, so they naturally continued to work hard to monitor the situation in the territory for Tsugawa Soji. And Abe Entata, who was a bandit before, is naturally the focus of the Blue Coat Society.

It can be said that Enta Abe knows who he sees every day, what he says, what he does, and even how many times he moves when he and his wife are hesitating at night!

Naturally, the "stealing chickens and touching dogs" committed by the Yamaguchi people can't hide from the eyes of the Blue Coat Society.

The members of the Blue Coat Society got it. Nozawa and Kuro naturally knew, and in the end, Soji Tsugawa certainly knew everything about the Yamaguchi people. Although he knew that Abe Enta and others were bandits before, it was inevitable that his nature would not change.

But Soharu Tsukawa didn't plan to leave it at that.

Seeing that Abe Enta who was kneeling below drooped his head and didn't even dare to look at himself, Tsugawa Soji held back the smile in his heart and said to Abe Enta with a serious face, "What? Speechless? ”

"Abe Enta, you must know that you Yamaguchi people were just bandits like rats crossing the street! At the beginning, Abe Kumaji and others attacked the family, if it wasn't for the family's network, I'm afraid the entire Yamaguchi people would be cleared! ”

"After that, the family let you continue to serve the family regardless of the previous suspicions, and even made you a samurai of the family! Recently, you have been stationed in Changniu City, and you have changed from a bandit leader to a city of a city, which can be described as infinitely beautiful! ”

"But do you really think you don't know about what you're doing in Antlers?" Soji Tsugawa continued expressionlessly, "You need to know that you are now the standing army of your family, and your words and deeds represent the face of my Tsugawa family!" If the whole pot of soup of this family is ruined because of your rat droppings, what kind of face does the family have in this world? ”

Soharu Tsugawa's words made Abe Madoji ashamed, and suddenly said loudly, "My lord! Under the great trust of the lord, I beg to apologize for this sin! But please also ask the lord for the sake of his subordinates seppuku, and don't blame some of the mistakes of the Yamaguchi people! Saying that, Abe Madoka looked at Soji Tsugawa with a red nose and green eyes, and that little look was strange!

And seeing Abe Enta like this, Tsugawa Soji didn't plan to tease him anymore, so he continued, "It's easy to die, but this family has a chance for you to atone for your sins, I don't know ............"

Before Soji Tsugawa's words fell, Abe Enta replied excitedly, "I will go to the soup and fight the fire in the next place, and I will not give up!" ”10
