Inside the castle tower of Ueno Castle, Soji Tsugawa sat on the main seat with a calm face, and the wise Shibei and Takahashi Xingke were separated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yoshino Yoshino has dealt with Soji Tsugawa several times, so he behaves more casually. On the other hand, Benshan is faithful, which is a little restrained. After all, it is the newly rising overlord Tsugawa family, and Tsugawa Soji, known as the Eagle of Xianbei. Even though Motoyama Tadanobu is the king and hegemon on the sea, but on land and on the territory of the Tsugawa family, Motoyama Tadanobu is a little lacking in confidence.

After a while, Yoshino Ryoshinari took the lead in breaking this embarrassing situation.

"Tsugawa-sama, I don't know if you have any orders to come down to Ueno Castle?" Yoshino said with a smile.

Soji Tsugawa also showed a hint of a smile, and said slowly, "I heard that Yoshino-sama went to Kyoto a few days ago, I don't know what I got from it?" ”

"Well, I can't talk about the harvest, but I just made a little profit." Yoshino replied humbly.

"Haha! I think it's a big profit! Soji Tsugawa said jokingly, "Looking at Yoshino-sama's face, I'm afraid that others won't know that Yoshino-sama has made a profit, haha!" ”

"My little business is not as good as the scenery of Lord Tsugawa." Yoshino Yoshinari said with emotion, "The battle of Akita Tsuka, even the Hazen area and even Echigo and other places have heard of it. It's a pity that I wasn't in the country of Dewa at the time, otherwise I would have seen the heroic posture of the warriors of the Tsugawa family with my own eyes. ”

Seeing that Yoshino Yoshino deliberately diverted the topic, it was inconvenient for Tsugawa Soji to continue to ask questions on this issue, so he continued, "Motoyama is faithful, and Motoyama is the ruler of the people. ”

"Hah!" Tadanobu Motoyama, who was sitting in a daze, suddenly heard Soharu Tsugawa calling himself, and hurriedly replied.

"Let Asama Yoshitaka invite you this time, I think you know what is going on. How is it? How did you think about my proposal? Soji Tsugawa asked straight to the point.

Benshan Tadanobu hurriedly replied: "Kawabe County, Benshan Tadanobu has seen the lord!" ”

"Good!" Tsugawa Soji's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "With the help of faithful, the great things of the navy of this family can be expected!" ”

"Yoshino-sama, let's be honest, I invited you here this time to ask you about something." Soji Tsugawa turned his head to Yoshino and said.

Yoshino Ryoshi hurriedly replied, "Lord Tsugawa, please speak." ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded, not pretentious, and asked directly, "Lord Yoshino is a wealthy merchant in our Yugo region. Engaged in maritime trade for many years, it is natural that we are very familiar with the maritime situation in the Dewa area. ”

"This family's naval army was newly founded, and now although it has received the loyal allegiance of Benshan, its strength is still very weak. So I'd like to ask Yoshino-sama, what are your good proposals for the formation of the family's naval army? After speaking, Soji Tsugawa looked at Yoshino with an expectant expression.

Yoshino Ryoshino's face changed when he heard this, and he couldn't tell what Tsugawa Soji meant by his arrival. After thinking about it, he replied truthfully, "Lord Tsukawa, Minato Castle is the largest port in our northeast region, and the Tsugawa family really needs a strong naval army. It is not only to guard the territory, but also to escort the merchants who come and go. However, the Tsugawa family rose in Xianbei County, and most of the territory is not near the sea, and at present, only the newly acquired Minato Castle is close to the sea. ”

"Therefore, for the Tsugawa family, the most lacking thing is manpower." Yoshino Yoshino said slowly, "You can recruit pirates in the nearby area to serve, although you can't form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but I believe that with the ability of Tsugawa-sama, you will definitely be able to make the Tsugawa family's navy famous." ”

"Haha! That's what my family intended, and that's why I asked people to ask Benshan to come to the faithful. Soji Tsugawa replied with a smile, "But the problem now is that the mountain clan alone is not enough, so the clan also needs the effectiveness of other pirates." ”

"I just don't know if Yoshino-sama and Tadanobu Motoyama have any good candidates?" Tsugawa Soji said as he looked around at the two people in the hall.

Yoshino Ryoshi lowered his head and fell into deep thought after listening to Tsugawa Soji's words, and Tadanobu Motoyama on the side hurriedly said, "My lord, if you want to recruit pirates to work for your family, I know a lot of people in the world. ”

"Hmm." Tsugawa Soji was not surprised by Motoyama's Tadanobu words, after all, as a pirate who has been active in the Yugo region for a long time, he must know a lot about the nearby pirate forces. "Tell me about it."

"Hah!"

Motoyama Tadanobu slowly spoke, "There are a total of 6 pirates in the Dewa region who are equal to the strength of the Benshan people in the lower area, and three of them have always had an ambiguous attitude towards the Hiyama Andong family, so let's not mention it for the time being. The other three are Oshima, Kojima, and Hane, of which Oshima is the strongest pirate group in our Dewa region, with 7 ships and 14 Kozaruma, with no less than 400 people. ”

"The strength of the Kojima people and the Hane people is slightly inferior, but there are more than ten warships and more than 200 pirates. The Kojima and Hane bases are adjacent to each other, just north of Toga Bay. This is the territory of the Hiyama Anto family, but the Kojima and Hane clans often raid the Hiyama Anto family, so they can be used by the family. Tadanobu Motoyama continued.

"And what about the other three pirates?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

Tadanobu Motoyama hurriedly replied, "The other three pirates, two of which have already claimed to have merged into one, presumably Tsugawa-sama has also dealt with them, and it is Kenji Kitaura Toga. The other is the Hachiro clan of Okubo Nagaki, which is entrenched in the Hachiro area within the territory of the Hiyama Ando family. ”

"The Toga and Hachiro clans have lost a lot of strength since the last battle of Akita Tsuka, and although the number of warships can still be maintained at about 40, the number of warships is only more than 400." Motoyama Tadanobu continued.

Soji Tsugawa nodded after hearing this, and then continued, "Then in your opinion, if the family wins over the Hane and Kojima people, what is the chance of success?" ”

"I can't guarantee this, but I'm willing to give it a try!" Benshan said categorically.

"Good!" Tsugawa Soji glanced at Motoyama Tadanobu appreciatively, and said loudly, "Motoyama Tadanoshi, I have always been suspicious, no need to use people, no doubts." At present, you are solely responsible for the formation of the navy and army, and you can give money to money, people to people, and anything to give food! But there is only one point, before this autumn's harvest, I must see a sailor army that is enough to fight with the Hiyama Andong family! Can it be done! ”

"Yes!" Benshan said loudly. Regarding the attitude of Tsugawa Soji, Motoyama Tadanobu was very satisfied. Except for Tsugawa Soji, who else dares to hand over the naval army to himself with confidence? The king treats me as a countryman, and I repay him more than a countryman! Motoyama Tadanobu's loyalty to Tsugawa Soji skyrocketed!

Soji Tsugawa got up and patted Tadanobu Motoyama on the shoulder, then turned his head to Yoshino Yoshino, who was pondering on the side, and said, "Yoshino-sama, what do you want to say?" ”

Yoshino Ryoshi raised his head, and Soji Tsugawa glanced at each other, then stood up.

I just heard the conversation between Tsugawa Soji and Motoyama Tadanobu, and when I heard that Tsugawa Soji asked Motoyama Tadanobu to complete the formation of the Tsukawa family's naval army before the autumn harvest, Yoshino Ryoshi knew that the Tsugawa family was planning to use troops against the Hiyama Andong family after the autumn harvest.

Now the Hiyama Anto family has sunset, and the Tsugawa family is indeed rising like the rising sun. Yoshino Ryoshi is not a fool, and he can achieve this huge family business in a young year, so he naturally has his vision and courage.

Yoshino decided to place a bet. The object of the bet is the Tsugawa family!
