The new city of Yamazaki Mountain will be completed in half a month according to the current progress. Kyogoku Takamasa left Yamazaki Mountain after inspecting it.
On the other hand, he didn't understand the matter of building the city, so he could just leave it to Kasahara Kiyozuna.
More than ten miles west from Yamazaki Mountain is Kaijin Castle, and a few miles further west is Chohoji Temple.
This was originally the residence of the Tagaya clan, but the current owner is Kyogoku Takamasa.
Seeing Kyogoku Gaomasa back, a group of retainers who stayed behind were also quite excited.
Matsunaga Nagayori rushed directly to Kyogoku Takamasa, showing an extremely exaggerated expression and said, "My lord, I already know about the battle in Uchiho Kawara, but it's a pity that I couldn't join the battle with my lord, and I missed it like this." What a wonderful scene!”
"Yes! My lord's plan is really admirable!" Matsuki Nagahide on the side also echoed.
After spending several months with brothers Matsunaga Hide, Kyogoku Takamasa unexpectedly discovered that although the two guys have very different personalities, they have one trait in common, that is, they are flatterers.
It totally ruins the character!
"It's just a battle involving more than 10,000 people. Last year, we followed the lord to Kinei to participate in a battle involving tens of thousands of people. That was a big scene!" Shan Chaoxin said with a disdainful look on his head.
?Yama Asanobu was talking about the civil strife in the Hosokawa family last year. Although he only went along to make soy sauce for a while, it was indeed a source of bragging rights, which attracted the envy of the Matsunaga brothers, Yamazaki Hiroyuki and others in the palace.
"I would like to introduce to you my newly acquired retainer, Lu Chou, who relies on the guard to smash the rotten ox with a spoon, and the strong and powerful scorpion is said to be Hiro Takashi!
"I'm here? Relying on the guard's ladle to smash the rotten cow? Chai Huai Jian playing with preparation? Gao┘? Da? Tridacna? Relying on posthumous title? Oh grasshopper? Si? Feed
Other retainers also quickly returned the gift.
"Young Assistant to the Imperial Palace, the Hori clan has surrendered to the clan, Horijiro Zaemon is living in seclusion, and the position of head of the Hori clan has been inherited by his son Toe Mamoru. The Hori clan has now transferred its seal to Uesaka Township, and there are currently no castles in Kamabana Castle and other places. Management on behalf of others.”
"I have recommended to my lord the young assistant in the palace as the acting official of Sakata County, responsible for managing Kamama Castle and other places. In addition, Yamazaki Sahei and my clan brothers Kyogoku Uhei Sa, Kyogoku Umasuke and other three people As your strength."
"I don't know, do you have confidence?"
After Kyogoku Takamasa finished speaking, everyone in the hall immediately turned their attention to Numata Mitsuwa who was standing aside, with extremely eager eyes.
As the person involved, Numata Mitsuwa didn't react for a moment. This happiness came a bit suddenly.
Akao Kiyosuna, who was sitting next to Numata Mitsukazu, quickly pushed Numata Mitsukazu. Numata Mitsukazu reacted immediately and bowed down excitedly, "Thank you for your love, my lord. I will definitely live up to the high expectations of my lord and the hall!"
Numata Mitsuwa's ability has been reflected in the management of Takashima County.
In less than two months, everything in Takashima County has been organized in an orderly manner, and tasks such as land inspection and population census have been completed flawlessly. Sometimes Kyogoku Takamasa thinks that he has just found a treasure. .
In fact, Numata Mitsuwa was forced to manage the affairs of Kaname Castle because few of Kyogoku Takahiro's subordinates could catch the eye of Kyogoku Takamasa.
The only few people there also have other things to do. For example, Uesaka Munanobu is responsible for the renovation of Imahama Castle, Kyogoku Hidemasa is responsible for busy diplomacy with surrounding forces, and so on.
"My lord, I don't know who will take over my responsibilities in Takashima County after I go to Kaname Castle?" Mitsukazu Numata continued to ask.
Kyogoku Takamasa had already chosen someone for this, "Rokuro Matsunagahiko is enough to take on this important task."
"Hikorokuro?"
The retainers in the palace had different expressions, but they all looked at Matsunaga Hide with doubts in their eyes. After all, they are. He said that Matsunaga Hide was just an ordinary traveling merchant in the early years. Being able to become a samurai was all luck. As for whether he could manage the territory well, he didn't know.
Matsunaga Hide was also surprised. He did not expect Kyogoku Takamasa to entrust such an important task to him.
However, after all, Matsunagahide is Matsunagahide, and he will not lose the battle even if he loses. He immediately imitated Mitsuwa Numata and replied with a firm expression, "Don't worry, my lord, if anything goes wrong in the leadership, I would like to raise my head and come to see you!"
If others don't know about Matsunagahide's ability, how can Kyogoku Takamasa know about it?
Although this guy's reputation in history is not very good, his ability is still undoubted.
"Go boldly, Hikorokuro, and I will do everything!" Kyogoku Takamasa cast an encouraging look at Matsunagahide.
Feeling the high regard of Kyogoku Gaomasa, Matsunaga Hide was so moved that he shed tears in a moment of excitement.
.....
"My lord, you previously ordered me to pay close attention to the situation in the Kinai area. Sure enough, something big happened."
After the evaluation, Inuhachiro Yamaoka quietly found Kyogoku Takamasa and spoke mysteriously.
Kyogoku Takamasa's eyes jumped, and then he couldn't wait to say, "Tell me carefully."
"ha!"
Yamaoka Inuhachiro organized his speech, and then said, "According to the news from several friends below, ???jiao?罱?篓考??皋琋?FUㄗ綯筵?Mi?Pa傂?涞 Tomb叵Stool? Nephew's seal!
"Two days ago, Miyoshi Chikuzen and Sosuke Yamayama jointly sent troops to surround Iimoriyama Castle in Hanoi. Hosokawa Sakyo's mediation failed, and the two sides are now at war with each other, and there seems to be signs of a war."
finally come!
Kyogoku Takamasa knew that this was a precursor to the Kinai unrest that was about to break out. In the next few years, due to the internal fighting between Hosokawa Harumoto and Miyoshi Motonaga, a new wave would be set off.
And Omi is not immune.
"Continue to pay attention to Kinai's movements. Once the Hosokawa family and Miyoshi family start a war, report immediately."
After saying that, Kyogoku Takamasa thought for a moment and then added, "In addition, you go to Numata...go to Matsunagahiko Rokuro to withdraw one hundred kan to hire Shugenja and other ninja forces, except Hosokawa." In addition to the family and Miyoshi family, we should also pay attention to the movements of Honganji Temple and Hokke Sect in various parts of the Kinai."
Yamaoka Inuhachiro nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Go and call Kuchiki Takazuna."
"ha!"
Not long after, Kuchiki Takazuna walked in from the outside with a confused look on his face.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"Genzaemon, are you homesick?"
Kuchiki Takazuna "???"
"Lord, what do you mean?"
"Go and prepare a gift. I want to go to the Deadwood Valley to visit your brother tomorrow, and you will go with me!"
Hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's words, Kuchiki Takatsuna fell silent for a moment. He lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I know that is where you are sad, but when you ran away from home, didn't you think about returning home in glory one day?"
"But...but I still haven't accomplished anything yet." Kuchiki Takazuna hesitated.
Kyogoku Takamasa stepped forward and patted Kuchiki Takazuna on the shoulder to comfort him, "These days are different from the past! This is your commission, go and get ready!"
After saying that, Kyogoku Takamasa threw a document to Kuchiki Takazuna, stood up and walked towards the backyard. After a tiring journey, Kyogoku Takamasa decided to take a nap first and enjoy Xiao Xiangxiang's massage.
Well, that's great.
Looking at Kyogoku Takamasa's back, Kuchiki Takatsuna opened the document with doubts, and his pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the words on the document.
"This is........"
