Now, there is the head of Miyoshi Changyi in front of Zhengheng, although there is some smoke, he doesn't know Miyoshi Changyi anyway. It's not good to ask someone to carefully check whether the head of Miyoshi Changyi is true or false, and the result of the investigation is that Miyoshi Changyi died unexpectedly, so Zhengheng will not be entangled in whether this smoked head is Sanhao Changyi.

Secondly, Miyoshi Nagakei had to bear the unshirkable responsibility for the fire caused in Kyoto, as the overlord of Kinai, the usurper who drove away the shogun and the former governor Hosokawa Harumoto, the Kyoto fire, and thousands of homeless people, all pointed at Miyoshi Nagakei's backbone and scolded it. After this incident, no matter how unwilling Miyoshi Changqing was, he had to take responsibility, and if he wanted to shirk his responsibility, it was obvious that he needed someone to carry it with him, so he had to find a force with enough weight.

Thirdly, the reputation of the imperial court and the royal family will be challenged once again by the fire in Kyoto, and the imperial court, which is already surviving, will become even more vulnerable, as long as a life-saving straw is delivered to their mouths, they will bite him hard, regardless of whether the straw is poisonous or not. Masahiro had already sent Tsuda Soda of Tennojiya to Kyoto to contact the Kikutei family, who had a bit of a connection, and through the Kikutei family, to send the sincerity of the Date family to the imperial court.

Once the imperial court recognizes the sincerity of the Date family, then the Date family will not only be able to wash away their suspicions, but also get a huge favor from the imperial court, although they will not be given political and official positions in a short period of time. However, it will still approve the decree that Zhengheng will be granted to "crusade against those who harbor ambitions for neighboring countries", which is also the meaning of Zhengheng's request for Tsuda Soda to convey at the appropriate time. As long as you get the edict of the imperial court. This is tantamount to giving Zheng Heng the title of attacking any ambitious person around him who he doesn't like.

Of course, the sincerity of the Date family comes at the same time as a huge expense, in fact. These expenses did not cause any opposition, because these expenses came from the sale of iron cannons, and last year's hot sale obtained a lot of money, and the Iwami silver obtained from the Mori family, coupled with the seizure of Iwami Ginzan, for the Date family today, it is the most important problem at the moment to spend the mountains of silver. Maybe for other families. It is best to gather more and more wealth, but for the new Date family, especially Date Masahiro, the head of the family from later generations. Money is the best way to make money, storing wealth is the stupidest way, and only spending it and then giving birth to more wealth is king.

Zheng Heng sat in the small conference room. Talking to Masanari Yoshida, who came to return to his life, about some things about Kyoto. Outside is the Ada Army's Guard. On the back wall of the small conference room hung a huge map of the countries of the world, which could only be displayed by the lord of a country and a county.

Sukegoro Tsuda suddenly came to the door of the conference room and reported: "Your Highness, four adults, Kiyokawa Henghide, Kawasaki Yorihiro, Takehai Clantaka, and Hosokawa Tsumasa, pay respects. Zhengheng nodded and said, "Let them come in, and you can stay for a while." ”

Yoshida Masanari's heart was awe-inspiring, he felt that today's things were not simple, and he was waiting for everyone to come. However, I couldn't help but feel the heat in my heart.

Kiyokawa Heng Nai is the head of the Three Dogs, and Kawasaki Yorihiro, Takehai Taka and Yoshida Masanari are all ministers of the Dragon. Hosokawa Tsumasa's younger sister Nana is one of the side chamber ladies of Masahiro, and they are all relatives, all of whom are retainers of the upper echelons of the Date family, and now that they have arrived, it is obviously not a simple meeting.

With Miyoshi Chokei likely to turn to other places, this is a good thing for the Date family, and he can also take action against those miserable forces that have already been ravaged by him, completely sweep the backyard of the Date family, and bring all the yin and yang into the jurisdiction of the Date family.

The four of them walked into the small conference room one after another, saluted Zhengheng respectfully, and then quietly waited for Zhengheng's speech, today is also a very special day for them, maybe they will be able to soar into the sky from now on, and they are all excited.

Masahiro looked at the five people in front of him, the older of these five people is only in his early thirties, Hosokawa Tsumasa is considered a special status in the Date family by virtue of his sister's relationship, in fact, the age is only twenty-five or sixteen, Yoshida Masanari and Kawasaki Yorihiro are only twenty-three or four, Kiyokawa Hengxiu is twenty-one and twelve years old, just as Masahiro's age is now only twenty-one years old, and the positions present are not from high to low according to age, but on the contrary, they are arranged from low to high.

Zhengheng stood up, and the five of them also stood up and stood respectfully on both sides, he pointed to the map on the wall, pointed to the ground with a thin bamboo pole and said: "Boqi Province, the country of mountains with mountains and mountains, is bordered by the Santoku Mountains to the east, the mountain system of the mountain country is bordered by the Inaba country, the west is adjacent to the Izumo country through the Yonago Plain, and the mountains of China that cross the south are Misasaka Province, Bichugoku and Bigo Province, although it is not suitable for agricultural production, but it has abundant iron sand in the country. It is connected to the Mihokan area of Izumo through the Yonago Plain, making it vulnerable to attack. ”

After a pause, Zheng Heng turned back to the five of them and said, "After the spring ploughing, I will use a total of 3,000 troops for the five of you, including 200 iron artillery troops, to enter the Boqi country and attack the Boqi country, and limit the five of you to three months to include it in the territory of the Date family." ”

Qinghe Hengxiu's eyes flashed, and he couldn't suppress his interest, knelt on the ground, and bowed: "Your Majesty will definitely seize the Boqi Kingdom within two months." The rest of the people also knelt on the ground, and their eyes were full of excitement, this is a strategy to attack a country.

"Get up!" Zheng Heng waved his hand and said: "Three months is three months, and the stone height of the Boqi Kingdom is about 100,000 stones, and the five of you will distribute it equally, but it is only 20,000 people each, this is just the beginning, and in the future, here will be up to you to attack." "The thin bamboo pole dotted the Inaba country, Tajima country, Tango country and other places.

Qinghe Hengxiu glanced at the other four, and they all saw a hint of vigilance in each other's eyes, they all knew that three months was just a limit, if they could successfully complete the task of attacking the Boqi Kingdom within three months, then it would be possible to attack the remaining three countries, if they could not win completely. Then maybe you can only nest in Boqi forever.

Zhengheng spoke again: "This time, Qinghe Hengxiu will serve as the general general, Yoshida Masanari will serve as the vanguard, and the other three will serve as deputy generals. I will send Ishimatsu Fumigo to you as an intelligence officer, and after a while, I will send you to the United States to investigate the spring ploughing matter, don't do it, this matter must be kept secret. ”

On March 15, in the Heshou Pavilion on the other side of Heshou City, which was formerly the Sancun Pavilion, Zhengheng held a letter in his hand. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he looked carefully and finished reading the letter in his hand. He raised his head lightly and said to himself, "I didn't expect Kikutei Gonghiko to have such an idea?" The letter, which had just been forwarded by Tennoji Yazuda Sota, first stated the fact that the first grain had been shipped to Kyoto, and then ended the letter with a description of the idea that a right-hand minister, Kikutei Kimihiko, had proposed to him that he would marry his daughter to Shoheng as his successor. Ask for the opinion of the balance.

Obviously, this is Zhengheng taking out a huge donation to the poor Kikutei Gonghiko. I fell in love with the huge dowry that Date Mashiro might come up with. If you marry your daughter to a wealthy local prince, you may be able to get benefits one day. Moreover, according to the current momentum of development, the collision of Date Masaki and Miyoshi Chokei, the young Date Masaki has a great chance to seize Kinai and become the overlord of the world, and then the Kikutei family will be able to rise and become more than just a first-class nobleman in the imperial court. Even in the samurai family, it is definitely advantageous and disadvantageous to be able to become a prince because of this.

Another poor woman.

Zhengheng suddenly remembered Mrs. Uyama, who had just passed away due to illness. Maybe it's different, the identities and experiences of the two are very different, rather than letting Mrs. Sakura become the backyard that the stepfamily has broken and now calmed down, it is better to marry the daughter of a noble minister from the outside. Zhengheng unknowingly had such an idea, Mrs. Sakura's mother is expensive with her son, and now she can barely become a stepfamily with the reason of her heir, but she has no backer, once Jihime, Satomi and even Nana, Yui and others give birth to heirs one after another, then her status will be seriously challenged.

There was no jealousy on every face, but Zhengheng knew what they were thinking, and instead of waiting for their counterattack and causing turmoil in the backyard, it was better to marry the daughter of a high-profile minister from Kyoto and become a stepfamily.

There can be no feelings between the two, in the troubled times of the Warring States, the marriage between the princes is often full of intrigues and tricks, but no matter where the princes are, when it comes to marrying a partial house, they don't ask about their origins and virtues at all. Zhengheng's wives and concubines are like this, most of the underage girls are mostly to entrap their parents, and most of the adult women are war trophies, and there is even a Mrs. Doi, her former husband Gong Jingsheng is now a retainer of Zhengheng, Zhengheng captured Mrs. Doi on the battlefield and snatched it back directly.

In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, men and women adhered to the natural principles of heaven and earth, and they would not change because of human will. Zhengheng came to this era, and he was not so ruthless at first, but after seeing too much of the truth, he had to be ruthless.

Zhengheng needs heirs, he needs many heirs, and a woman's desire is to have children, and the huge family business needs his heirs to rule and increase his foundation. The generation of the Date family to Zhengheng has a thin bloodline to the extreme, and only by thickening the bloodline can he continue to strengthen his foundation.

Taking a deep breath, Zhengheng suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, since Kikuting Gonghiko has such high hopes, then let's agree to his request." He slowly wrote a letter, then placed it on the table, and resumed his usual silence.

He was originally a quasi-otaku who often lived at home and surfed the Internet, and after crossing over, he often schemed, really because he was good at books, since there was no TV, and there was no computer, books became his interest. This era did not have the explosion of books in later generations, except for a few novels that depicted the relationship between men and women, most of them were either military strategies or Buddhist scriptures.

Before he was eighteen years old, he read Buddhist scriptures, but now he reads more martial arts strategies, and there are some things in the market that interest him, and he can often see some strategies in the book to put them into practice. He read the book for a while, and the two days were busy, and he was already sleepy, and he tried to keep his nerves awake, but his eyelids seemed to close heavily.

After reading a paragraph, he could only throw the book, stand up, shake his hands vigorously, and a sour and numb feeling hit his body, and he paused for a long time, and then he was relaxed. As soon as he opened the door, Zhengheng almost collided with a reckless maid, and the maid hurriedly stepped aside, and a large piece of water swayed out of the basin of water in her hand, splashing Zhengheng's feet.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Your Highness, I'll wipe you dry! The maid remembered the previous obscenity of this highness, and her face turned white with fright, so she quickly squatted down and took out a snow-white hand towel to shine Zhengheng's shoes, which seemed to be a little wrong.

Zheng Heng frowned, he took a step back, stopped the maid's courteous behavior, and said lightly: "No need, who let you in, didn't I say that the study is a forbidden place!" ”

The maid replied with trepidation: "Yes, Your Highness, the maidservant will not dare next time!" Her head lowered even lower.

Zhengheng glanced at her noncommittally, and another self-righteous woman, shook her feet, walked out, and walked about ten steps, but when she saw Tsuda Sukegoro coming in a hurry, her face turned pale, and she said, "Who is guarding the Tsurushou Pavilion today?" ”

Tsuda Sukegoro saw that Zhengheng's face was not good, and when he saw the maid who left in a hurry behind Zhengheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, it is Ge Lang Hengzhong and Qing Shui Zongzhi, Ge Lang Hengzhong guards the outer pavilion, and Shimizu Zongji guards the inner pavilion. ”

Zhengheng nodded and responded, "Is it Hachiro Guard?!" Let Shimizu Soji send the maid back to her mother's house just now, so that the unruly maid thinks that with a little gesture, she can fly up the branch and become a phoenix, a hateful thing. ”

Tsuda Sukegoro heard the meaning of Masahiro's words, saying that he wanted Shimizu Soji to send the maid just now back to his mother's house, why didn't he talk to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he hated the unruly maid just now in his heart.

Tsuda Sukegoro suddenly remembered the mission he had gone out today, and bowed, "Your Highness, Lady Yamanaka and her son Kanjiro have been brought to the Tsurushoukan, have you summoned them?" As he spoke, he told a little about the situation of Lady Yamanaka, especially the fact that Yukitaka Yamanaka was dead. (To be continued......)
