A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

When 15,000 people go to Luo, Oda Nobunaga will not take care of food, so he has to bring everything himself. Fortunately, Xiaopingtai is well versed in logistics, and the scheduling and support are flawless.

I have agreed with Oda Nobunaga to arrive in Luoyang in mid-to-late February, so it would be best to leave at the end of the first month. The snow in Shinano has not melted yet, so we need to prepare cloth straps for the soldiers' feet and leggings and enough straw sandals.

Going to Luoyang, in the middle of the world, witnessed by the current general, and crowned by the shogunate, is naturally the honor Yamauchi Taro deserves. Everyone in Yamauchi is quite satisfied with this, and it reflects our identity as Yamauchi!

It was originally said that Uesugi Kenshin was also planning to take two or three thousand riders to follow him. It seemed that he also had something to discuss with Ashikaga Yoshiaki. However, Yamauchi had taken away 15,000 horses at once, and for fear of something unexpected happening, he still asked him to sit in Kasuga Mountain and be on standby at any time.

As for the matters he wanted to discuss with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he wrote secret letters, and the Yamauchi family would secretly submit them to him. It was just a matter of whether Ashikaga Yoshiaki was going to really flip the table and attack the guys together, or whether he should wait until he had enough subordinates summoned before joining him.

In addition to the Hosokawa Saimei who was confirmed from the beginning, Yamauchi's chief accountant who has been in charge of Fuchu City for ten thousand years also went to Luo this time. The one who was in charge of Fuchu became Imagawa's sworn brother.

After communicating with the company members, Koheita secretly took three thousand taels of gold and two Folang guns, changed the colors, and shipped them in Hamamatsu, preparing to transport them directly to Shishan.

Even the judges did not object to Xiao Pingtai's behavior of throwing coins! At this point, no one cares about this little gold. Even Ashikaga Yoshiaki has asked this question, who still doesn't understand?

It's just that the judges still don't think much of the Ichikou sect forces of Ishiyama Honganji Temple and the mercenaries of Kishu. Instead, they hope that Koheita will quietly visit Asakura's house if he can.

The Asakura clan, a powerful daimyo with 250,000 gu, was the mainstay who could resist Oda Nobunaga in the eyes of the Yamauchi generals. With the 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Nobunaga would definitely be disgusted and unable to eat.

In addition, the Yamauchi clan and the Asakura clan have no grudges in their dealings and have no recent enmity. The Asakura clan has supported the Muromachi shogunate in recent decades. If he and Oda really fall out, then the Asakura family will be the enemy of their enemies and Yamauchi's "good friend"!

Even if you know that the Asakura family is also a stinky salted fish, in history, he is the younger brother among the younger brothers, and he is not as long-lived as Asai Nagamasa. But despite the collective demands of the judges, Koheta couldn't say that the Asakura clan did not perform well even during the retreat from Kanezaki.

So Koheita now has one more task. If there is a chance, he will secretly visit Asakura Yoshikage on behalf of Uesugi Kenshin and Yamauchi Taro!

He's not the only one! Miscellaneous fish will be miscellaneous fish, and Korai resisted Oda Nobunaga for two years, which can be regarded as a help. At least it can hold back Oda Nobunaga's 10,000 or 20,000 troops, making Nobunaga's borders unstable.

On the road from Fuchu to Hamamatsu, Xiaoheita could walk with Yamauchi's brigade. This was within Yamauchi's territory, so there was no need to cover his tracks too much. During the Reiwa Year in Japan, the local dialects spoken by ordinary people in Aomori Prefecture were incomprehensible to people in Tokyo, let alone now that Mandarin has not been promoted.

If you are a foreigner, you will be caught when you open your mouth. If you want to be a spy, you should first lurk for more than ten years and learn the Minami-Shinano dialect!

"When we go to Luoyang, everything should be based on Gifu Tansei! We are guests, and guests do as they please." Xiaoping tightened his tight cotton robe too tightly and turned his head to talk to Hosokawa Maimei next to him.

"Don't worry, even if it's for the sake of the shogunate's power, we have to go to Gifu!" Hosokawa Saime's political wisdom is just far less than that of her father, Hosokawa Harumiya, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't have it.

Looking at Masayuki Sanada who was following behind him, Kodaita was relieved. As Masayuki Sanada had a bad attitude and was following Hosokawa Harame, there would basically be no problems. This young man is also a talented person who has been involved in the quagmire of the Warring States Period for almost ten years. Now he is Hosokawa's son-in-law and married to his father-in-law.

"There's just one thing. If the Gifu Army wants to leave a large army to go to Settsu to observe the formation, be sure to refuse!"

Nobunaga did not necessarily want the Yamauchi army to go to Settsu to fight against the Miyoshi trio. He might be using the strength of these 15,000 troops to enhance his own power, but at this time it would be best not to get involved in Kinuchi's chaos.

Another point is that Taro Yamauchi may be instigated by Oda Nobunaga. As the actual perpetrators of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, the Miyoshi trio are the enemies of Taro Yamauchi who killed his father. Including Suzyni, their mother and son wanted to cut into pieces the three of them, including Miyoshi and Matsuyong.

It would be a joke if Oda Nobunaga prodded Yamauchi Taro, but Yamauchi Taro lost his temper and agreed to Oda Nobunaga. Therefore, we still need to keep a close eye and not let Oda Nobunaga and Yamauchi Taro have any in-depth exchanges.

To avoid talking about the suppression of the three good people, Oda Nobunaga would fall into his trap!

Anyway, it's just one point. After finishing the Yuan server, go and pay homage to the person in the imperial palace, and then go home quickly. Don't leave Luoyang alone. It's not a good place to stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time.

"I will never leave Your Highness!" Hosokawa Tsaime nodded repeatedly.

"There's nothing else that's too important. Your Highness is restricted now, so I'm afraid the expenses won't be sufficient. Since you're going to Luo, I'll bring you another thousand taels as a New Year's gift!"

"In which sum will it be paid?"

"Heiroku is in Hamamatsu. Ask him when you set off and ask him to allocate it to you from Hamamatsu's ship mark money." Koheta thought about it, and there was still some savings in Hamamatsu's official treasury.

"Do you want to prepare something to correct Gifu?"

"I see the chief has brought a Shinano pony with him. That one should be given to Gifu Tansei. You don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

Hosokawa Zaimei looked at Chief Yamauchi who was riding behind Yamauchi Taro's ox cart, thinking that it must have been Xiaoheita who said this, so she remained silent.

It took the army five days to reach Hamamatsu. The road after that was much easier, and it was all the official roads of Donghai Street. It has been built for many years since the Imagawa Yoshimoto era. After the Yamauchi family took over, they spared no effort to repair the official road and launched large-scale labor for many years.

Counting the days, the Yamauchi family will arrive early and not late. Kodaira no longer had anything to worry about. He separated from the large group of people and boarded a Yamauchi family's own boat, pretending to be a merchant who traveled between Hamamatsu and Sakai to resell grain.

Decorate the French gun by wrapping it in layers of rice bags and mixing it in a pile of real rice. It should not show any flaws even if it is inspected by the Sakai district. As for the sailors, most of them were students brought out by Kobayashi Motoharu before. They were led by Omura Masuji and went to Ishiyama with Koheita.
