After seriously thinking about the words of his wife Hirohiro Ki and Akechi Mitsuhisa, Soji Tsugawa felt that it made sense.

However, since Beizhiai is still here, there are some things that are really inconvenient to say.

Thinking of this, Tsugawa Soji said to Kita's love, "Captain Saemon, let the family discuss this matter for a moment. Ten guards, take the people of Peking University to the side hall to wait. ”

"Hah!" The wise Shibei, who was standing beside Soji Tsugawa, hurriedly came to Kita's side and made a gesture of please.

Kita Zhiai hurriedly saluted Tsugawa Soji, and then followed the wise ten guards out of the main hall.

"What do you think of Hirohiro Tsugi and Akechi Mitsuhisa's proposal?" After Kita Zhiai left, Tsugawa Soji set his sights on the other retainers in the palace, ready to listen to the opinions of the others.

As soon as Tsugawa Soji's words fell, the retainers in the palace began to discuss.

A quarter of an hour later, seeing that no one had spoken, a slightly unfamiliar face sitting in the corner hesitated for a moment before standing up and saying, "The Great Hall, I think that this family should indeed agree to the southern family's request for help. ”

"Oh?" Seeing that it was a samurai he had never seen before, Tsugawa Soji curiously asked Saigo Kizo beside him, "Who is this?" Since this person was sitting on the right, he was supposed to be a retainer in charge of internal affairs, so Tsugawa Soji asked Saigo Kizo next to him directly.

Saigo Kizo hurriedly replied, "My lord, this person is the new retainer of the family, Ikeda Shimonosuke Moribang, born in the Ikeda clan in Dewa Shonai, and was originally the lord of Asahayama Castle, but Asahayama Castle was captured by the Shimizu family in the previous Hazen Rebellion. After the Daihoji family seized it, it was not returned to the Ikeda family, and some time ago it was recommended by Ichiro Yamamoto of Niga Hojo, and now he is helping Ogasawara Shintoki-sama with government affairs. ”

"I see, Ikeda Moribang, you go on." Soji Tsugawa nodded, although he hadn't heard of anything about Ikeda Moribang, but since he had already spoken, let him finish it, otherwise it would be a bit shocking.

"Hah!" Ikeda continued, "It is well known that places such as Karanbe have long been the domain of the southern provinces and their sub-clans. The relationship between them is complicated, and the various wealthy families are mixed with each other, and even the southern family has not really integrated these people in the chaff county for hundreds of years. ”

"The Mutsu region is a must for the family, but then there is the problem of the family's governance after the capture!"

"Now the southern family takes the initiative to show goodwill to the family, and there is a great intention to return to the family. Why don't the Honke take this opportunity to take advantage of the civil strife between the Nanbu family and the Kunohe family to divide the wealthy clans in these places. ”

"Since the Nanbu family and the Kunohe family are now incompatible, after the main family invaded Mutsu, it will not destroy the Kunohe family, but will continue to keep the Nanbu family. The two forces that do not share the same sky are next to each other, and they must restrain each other and check and balance each other. ”

"In this way, the family only needs to reconcile with it, and there is no need to spend too much energy on managing these places! As long as the balance of strength between these wealthy clans is maintained, and one or two powerful retainers are sent there, then the chaff county, northern county, and Tsugaru county will be firmly controlled by the family! ”

"And the forces such as the Nanbu family and the Kunohe family, in order to fight their respective opponents, of course, can only seek the help of their own family. As a result, the family can easily control the three households, nine households and other wealthy families, and use the influence of these wealthy families in the old collar, and they are not afraid of any variables in the future. Ikeda Mori Bang spoke eloquently, analyzing the dispatch of Mutsu and the subsequent governance issues very thoroughly, and listened to the heads of Tsugawa Soji and many of the retainers in the palace.

"Haha!" Soji Tsugawa laughed and stood up from the main seat, "I didn't expect Shimonosuke's words to be so thought-provoking!" "Soji Tsukawa was also surprised by Ikeda Morikuni, this thing seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, whether it was before or after the crossing, Soji Tsugawa had never heard of such a person.

However, it is not difficult to see from Ikeda's words that Ikeda's ability is outstanding. In just a few words, the stakes of the Mutsu troops must be thoroughly analyzed. Nowadays, there are many retainers in the Tsugawa family, there are many samurai with excellent martial arts, and there are many retainers with outstanding internal political skills, but there are too few who are so familiar with the surrounding situation that they can give valuable advice.

Every time the military is discussed and evaluated, it is basically Tsugawa Soji who relies on some routines of later generations and relevant historical events and historical figures to formulate strategies. But there is really no one like Ikeda who looks at the problem based on his own insight.

Of course, this is also the reason why Tsugawa Soji only has a cursory understanding of the RB Sengoku period. If Soharu Tsugawa had been well versed in RB history, he would have known that in the case of Ikeda Morikuni, Ikeda's son was more famous.

Ikeda Moribo's son, Ikeda Morishu, successively served in the Daihoji family, the Uesugi family (Uesugi Kenshin), and the Mogami family, and was commonly known as Saki Mamoru. The ability is very outstanding, and it can definitely be ranked in the top ten in the Ou region (Dark Glory's game data).

Ikeda's life is also legendary, a figure of mixed reviews.

At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the land to be seized when he became a member of the world, and in the Dewa area, a peasant rebellion broke out against the Taiko land seizure, and Ikeda Morishu was the strongest supporter. Therefore, Ikeda Morishu considered himself a wicked person who disobeyed the people of the world, so he called himself "Evil Jiro".

However, Ikeda Morishu used his own abilities to build water conservancy and reclaim land, and he was loved and admired by the people of the Dewa area.

However, although Ikeda Morikuni was Ikeda's father, there are few records of the Okuba region due to the scarcity of historical records, but this does not mean that Ikeda Morikuni was a mediocre person.

On the contrary, in the eyes of Tsugawa Soji, Ikeda Morikuni was already a rare retainer.

"In that case! The family responded to the southern family's request for help, and sent troops to Mutsu on a certain day to quell the rebellion of the nine households! And by the way, destroy the Namioka family and the Oura family and other wealthy families, and fully dominate the Mutsu region! Soji Tsugawa said happily at this time.

"Hah!" Seeing that Tsugawa Soji had already made a decision, the retainers in the palace echoed one after another.

"Now that we have decided to send troops, it's time to talk to the people of the southern family about the conditions of our family." Soji Tsugawa continued, "Tadahei, go and bring in Kita's love." ”

"Hah!"

Soon after, Kita Zhiai returned to the castle tower under the leadership of Yajima Tadabei.

Returning to the castle tower again, Kita's love is still nervous. Obviously, now that the Tsugawa family has finished discussing, the next time is to decide the fate of the southern family. If the Tsukawa family agrees to send troops, then the southern family will pay the price, but at least they will be able to save their name. But if the Tsugawa family doesn't agree, then the southern family will probably disappear forever...........
