"Ladies and gentlemen! Do you know why the family called everyone to Ueno Castle today? Inside the castle tower of Ueno Castle, Soji Tsugawa asked directly as soon as he sat down.

Hearing Tsugawa Soji's question, except for a few retainers who had already known in advance, the rest of the retainers all had puzzled expressions.

"What do you have to say about Mogami House?" Soji Tsugawa asked expressionlessly.

"Mogami House??" Tsugawa Soji's words and deeds today are very abnormal, and the retainers don't know where to start.

Seeing that no one answered, Tsugawa Soji glanced at Nagano Masabo, who was sitting at the front, and the latter hurriedly understood, and then said in a loud voice, "Everyone! A few days ago, Togo-sama and Yoshikawa-sama pacified a situation that happened in Tsugaru-gun, and after capturing some of the leading figures, the Honke family learned a shocking news! ”

"According to some of the people who were captured, this incident in the territory of the family was actually provoked by the Mogami family." Nagano Masabo then dropped a bomb in the calm castle tower, which instantly startled some unknown retainers!

"Could it be that the rumors in the Heavenly Territory are true?"

"I also think Mogami has bad intentions! I had sent someone to steal the family's musket before.,The lord didn't care about the previous suspicions.,I didn't expect the top family to do such a thing this time.,Is it really good to bully the family? For a while, the retainers in the palace began to talk about it.

After Nagano Masabo finished speaking, Tsugawa Soji then said to Yajima Tadabei who was standing beside him, "Bring people in!" ”

"Hah!"

A short time later, Yajima Tadabei entered the temple with a man with a frightened and uneasy face.

"Tsugaru Asahi family Asahi Takayoshi, I have seen Tsugawa Hall!" As soon as the man entered the castle tower, he broke free from Yajima Tadabei and came to the center of the main hall and knelt down directly.

Tsugawa Soji did not pay attention to Asahi Takayoshi, but said to the retainers in the palace, "Ladies and gentlemen, this person is one of the important people involved in this incident, and Asahi Takayoshi, the head of the Asahi family in Tsugaru County. ”

"Asahi Takayoshi, tell me what you know!" Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Hah!" Asahi Takayoshi hurriedly nodded and said, "Tsugawa Hall, before going down, it was completely coerced by Nangang Goshin and others!" At that time, when Langoka Guxin found Zaixia, Zaixia was sternly refused! However, Langoka Guxin threatened his family, and in desperation, he could only agree to Langoka Guxin's request. ”

"Originally, I thought that these were just planned by Nanoka Goshin and Asai Ishi Masato and others, but later I learned that there are also the shadows of Hiyama Anto's family and Mogami family!"

"The Hiyama Anto family has been unwilling since the Tsugawa Hall took away the territory of Dewa and was driven to Ezo by the Oura family! This time, I sent someone to contact Nangang Guxin and others, and the Hiyama Anto family paid for it, and Nangaoka Guxin and others sent people to launch a fight in the Tsugawa family. And the Mogami family, because of their concern for the current strength of the Tsugawa family, also sent someone to send a large amount of weapons and equipment and money and food to Nanoka Guxin. After speaking, Asahi Takayoshi raised his head slightly and looked at Tsugawa Soji's expression.

Seeing that Tsugawa Soji still had his eyes closed and did not speak, Asahi Takayoshi continued: "There are still several letters written by the head of the Mogami family, Mogami Yoshimori, to Nanoka Gunobu and others, as well as records of the money, food, and weapons sent by the Mogami family a total of three times. With that, Asahi Takayoshi took out several letters and a booklet from his arms and handed them to Yajima Tadahei, who was standing aside.

After taking the letter and pamphlet from Yajima Tadabei, Tsugawa Soji flipped through it casually, and then asked, "Since it is a letter written by Mogami Yoshimori to Nanoka Gunobu and others, why is there no Mogami family's seal on the letter?" ”

"Lord Tsugawa said with a smile, how can such a secret thing be true?" Asahi Takayashi suddenly said with a smile. However, although Asahi Takayoshi was full of smiles on his face, he secretly thought to himself, "These letters are all from you, are there any seals in your heart?" ”

"Hmm." Tsugawa Soji nodded, then motioned for Yajima Tadabei to pass the letters to the retainers in the palace, and then continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, this shows the sinister intentions of the Mogami family towards this family! ”

"Originally, in order to maintain the hard-won alliance between the family and the Mogami family, the family also chose to settle the matter of the Mogami family's theft of the family's musket! But unexpectedly, the Mogami family not only did not repent, but intensified! ”

"You say, for the Mogami family, what should the family do?" Speaking of which, the anger on Tsugawa Soji's face, the indignation and loneliness of being betrayed by a trusted person are vividly reflected in Tsugawa Soji's body!

"This family must not be counted like this! It's time to show Mogami what he's really capable of! ”

"That's right! The supreme family provokes the family so much, if the family still ignores it, won't the people of the world look down on the family? ”

"Not bad! An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! In the next thinks that the family should immediately send troops to the top of the house.,Question the most top Yoshimori on this matter.,If the top family can't give the family a satisfactory statement.,Then the family will directly destroy the top family! ”

“........”

For a while, the retainers in the hall were aroused in their hearts, and they all shouted to give the Mogami family a little color.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Soharu Tsugawa exchanged glances with Nagano Masabo, Saigo Kizo and others, and then got up and said, "Okay! Then hit! ”

"Now that the family has no worries, the spring ploughing has ended, since you want to fight, you have to play the prestige of the family!"

"Saigo Kizo, announce the troops participating in this dispatch!" As he spoke, Soji Tsugawa said loudly to Saigo Kizo.

"Hah!" Saigo Muzao hurriedly stood up and said to everyone in the hall: "This dispatch is a battle of revenge for our family!" The number of troops sent has been confirmed by the lord and is tentatively set at 3,200! ”

"This time the army was dispatched, and the lord himself served as the general general, and the military was enshrined in the line of Yodogawa Castle Lord Miki Naogo, and the front line was in charge of Mizutani Hisaharu, the lord of Kamimaeda Castle, and the lord of Toshima Castle, Yagyu Shuichiro, and Kubota Castle Lord Tsumiki Hirohiro coordinated." Saigo Muzao said slowly.

In addition, Otaka Mitsutada immediately set off to the Osaki family to implement the matter of the family's borrowing from the Osaki family. The front set off three days later, and went straight to Mogami County through the territory of the Osaki family, and was responsible for guarding and repairing the road along the way, and never attacked without the order of the lord! ”

"The rest of the people, each of them will prepare their troops and wait for orders at any time!" After speaking, Saigo Kizo set his eyes on the people in the hall.

Hearing this, almost all the retainers understood that Tsugawa Soji had long had the intention of doing something to the Mogami family! All the previous reasons are excuses, and even Asahi Takayo's words just now can be false. What is the most instigated by the family, and the so-called sin of wanting to add is unexcused? But whether it's true or not, it's a sure thing that the Tsukawa family sent troops to the Hazen area!

And everything that happened just now is just a fig leaf to cover up the Tsugawa family's "betrayal of allies".
