different warring states of japan

Yiyin looked at the Pu Sheng clan in surprise and murmured.

"Died of illness..."

Gamo Ujisato bowed.

"Hey, I heard it's a recurrence of an old injury."

Yiyin's expression dimmed and he nodded silently.

In the past few years, Tozawa Moriyasu has been fighting in the north and south. He often led his troops into enemy formations in person. It is said that he suffered many injuries on his body.

Just because the Tozawa family is not powerful, Tozawa Mori'an has no choice but to fight tooth and nail if he wants to fulfill his agreement with the saint. But people are not steel after all, and they will eventually be damaged in the journey.

Kamojigo hesitated for a moment and said.

"Before Tozawa Mori'an died, she left a message asking someone to bring it to the saint, saying that she would be unlucky in this life and that she would fulfill her agreement with you in the next life."

There was a trace of bitterness in Yiyin's expression, recalling the heroic and heroic Tozawa Mori'an who first arrived at the city. She also died in the battle because of his harsh demands on her. .

Shaking his head, Yiyin said weakly.

"You should go out first, I want to be quiet."

Hamo clan bowed and left. Before leaving, he turned to look at Yoshiyin, his eyes full of love that a subordinate should not project towards his master.

At this moment, Yoshigan has no time to consider the feelings of the Kamao clan. The death of Tozawa Moriyasu made him sad, but it also relieved his dilemma.

Relief of food stamps only requires funds, but the Kwantung Allied Forces' westward expedition to Oda requires not only money, but also sufficient troops.

The death of Tozawa Moriyasu caused Ou's situation to change again, and the choice of sending troops has become the last resort.

During the last Battle of Shiba-Oda, Ou Daimyo Date Masamune took advantage of the gap between the Kanto Palace to organize the coalition forces to conquer the Western Expedition, and almost captured the Aizu region.

If Satake Yoshige hadn't taken the initiative to go north to confront Date Masamune out of strategic considerations, delaying the turnaround of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

Date Masamune may have achieved his goal, relying on geographical advantages to separate one party and make it difficult to suppress him.

Although Date Masamune has now climbed onto the throne, and Mogami Yoshimitsu has an ambiguous relationship with Yoshigan, Yoshigan is not at ease with them, and the two sides' affair is more out of interests.

Yoshigan's plan for the Ou region is to encroach on Shonai and Aizu in the southern part of the Ou region by the Honjo clan and the Kachi clan under Sanada Nobushige.

Then he moved Satakegi to the north and cooperated with Tozawa Mori'an to devour the northern part of Ou area.

One south and one north are actually squeezing the sphere of influence of Date Masamune, Mogami Yoshimitsu and other Ou local samurai families, forcing them to surrender and bow to the Kanto Palace.

The territories of various families such as Antobu in northern Ou are too cold. They seem to be large, but in fact their hard power such as population and food is very limited.

The ones that can really put pressure on Yoshigan are the local daimyo such as Mogami Date who occupy the southern basins and the Minami Sendai Plain.

Originally, this strategy had begun to bear fruit. While Mogami Yoshimitsu was licking the Yoshigan side, he ran to please the Uesugi family. Date Masamune was even more shameless, cooking and warming the bed for Yoshigan.

However, with the death of Tozawa Moriyasu and Satake Yoshitaka not yet moving north, the strategic pressure on the Ou samurai family headed by Date Mogami was greatly reduced.

If at this time, the Kwantung Allied Forces go west to conquer Oda again, who knows if there will be another problem in the Ou area?

The Oda family is rich with four million koku, and Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, Hashiba Hideyoshi and other important ministers are not fools. They will definitely resist desperately and send people to Kanto to add fuel to the fire.

The anti-corruption campaign within Guan Hachishu is in full swing, causing people to panic. The big names in the Ou area have lost the pressure from the north, and it is inevitable that they are ready to take action.

Yoshigan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of Date Masamune's frail appearance. Who would have thought that this sickly beauty who seemed to be knocked down by a push had a burning ambition hidden in her heart.

Several of his own women have died, and Yiyin no longer wants to take risks. The human heart cannot withstand temptation.

We can't give people like Date Masamune and Mogami Yoshimitsu a chance, we have to suppress them hard. This is for their own good, lest they do something wrong in a moment of enthusiasm.

Yoshigan's eyes were moist when he thought of Tozawa Moriyasu, who died of illness. He wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and his eyes became firm again.

People cannot be resurrected after death. Dead people can let go of everything, but living people still need to continue to live. The death of Tozawa Mori'an made Yoshigan finally give up his plan to send troops to the west. The powerful vassals in Kanto could not move, and they had to guard Kanto to prevent chaos.

Therefore, let’s solve the food stamp issue first and raise funds to save the market.

Yiyin made this goal clear, and his mind was set, knowing what he should do.

The next morning, Yi Gin sat on the main seat, and under his seat were Fujibayashi Mukuro and Kirigage Saizou Rōnin, who had been ordered to do so.

Fujibayashi's expression was slightly uncomfortable. After all, the Momochi Santafu she had just killed together with Akechi Mitsuhide was Kirigage Saizo's master.

At that time, the third Taifu of Momochi returned to Kinki and handed over the Kanto Secrecy Team to his disciple Kirikage Saizo. Kirikage Saizo had done a good job in the Kanto Secrecy Team in the past few years and had made great contributions.

The saint called both of them here today, which made Fujibayashi a little unsure of the Holy Heart. He felt guilty and uneasy.

Yiyin didn't want to talk nonsense and just gave instructions.

"Fujibayashi Mukuro."

"The minister is here."

"You return to Kinki immediately, take over the position of Momochi Santao, command all the Kinki secret team members, and figure out the current situation in Kinki.

I will go back to Kinki soon. I want to know all aspects of the situation as soon as I return. Do you understand me? "

"Hi!"

"Also, give me a message to every household you can reach.

My woman, it is not the turn of others to decide life and death. No matter what the current situation of Oda Nobunaga and Akechi Mitsuhide is, who is alive and who is dead must wait for me to go back and deal with it.

If anyone overtakes me, don't blame me for getting angry. "

"Hi!"

"Go ahead."

"Hi!"

Fujibayashi Ryou did not dare to delay and turned around and left. After watching her figure completely disappear outside the courtyard, Yiyin looked at Wuying Saizo who was waiting respectfully.

"Who in the Kanto Confidentiality Group can take over your position?"

Kirigage Caizang didn't expect that the saint would ask this question. He was stunned for a moment and hesitated.

"Sage, the power of the Kanto Secretariat has expanded too fast. The Kanto Secret Team has been in a state of shortage of manpower and has not yet cultivated talents who can coordinate the overall situation.

Your Majesty is guilty and I am very sorry! "

Kirikage Caizang bowed deeply, Yiyin waved his hand and said.

"It's not your fault, but you have to tell me a candidate. I'll give you another six months to train him. After that, you have to go back to Kinki to work."

Wuying Caizang narrowed his eyes.

The third Taifu of Momochi died, and the leader of the ninja clan of Momochi was so humiliated that he took the blame and was killed by Mitsuhide Akechi. However, Fujibayashi Mukuo was innocent enough to come to Kanto to report the news.

The Kanto Secrecy Team protected Fujibayashi Muku along the way to Edo Castle, and Kirikage Saizo even knew about it earlier than the saint.

If Yiyin was pretending to be confused, then Wuying Caizang didn't even have to pretend, so he naturally knew how unjust his master's death was.
