In front of the ruins of Nagashima Enjoji Temple, Kyogoku Takamasa stood on horseback in front of the broken mountain gate. He looked at the Nagashima Enjoji Temple that had been burned beyond recognition, with no emotion on his face.
With the end of the war, Nagano Aito and Seki Morio were the first to resign from Kyogoku Takamasa. The two were worried that something would happen to the Kitahata family, so they were anxious to return to their original position.
Kyogoku Takamasa once again expressed his gratitude to the two families for sending troops to support the Kyogoku family, and then gave part of the seized property to Nagano Aizito and his wife. Nagano and Aito did not refuse. Although they were voluntarily helping, the two families also suffered a lot of losses, and it was normal for them to get some trophies.
After Nagano Ato and Seki Morio left, Ujiie Naomoto, Fuha Mitsuharu and other Mino people also returned to their respective ways. Going out with peasants and soldiers consumes a lot of food every day. What the Ashigaru carried was only a few days' worth of food, and the rest required the citizens to collect food themselves.
Of course, Kyogoku Takamasa said that he would not let them suffer. After taking him back to Imahama City, he would have people deliver food to the people of various countries.
If you want a horse to run, you must first feed it. Kyogoku Takamasa knows this truth very well. Only if the people of the country can taste the sweetness and they can be used next time, will the people of the country do their best.
Don't look at the "righteousness" of these Meinong citizens who sent troops this time. It's all an illusion!
This time, the people of the country followed Kyogoku Takamasa, not only for the sake of Inaba Yoshimitsu's face, but also because they felt that following Kyogoku Takamasa would be profitable! Therefore, Kyogoku Gaozheng must let these people see the benefits.
After returning to Imahama Castle, Kyogoku Takamasa not only wanted to send out food, but also wanted to send out more, and even add some other things.
Although it seems a bit of a loss, this time the Nagashima Enjoji Temple was solved, the Kyogoku family's major concern was eliminated, and the land of Kuwana County was obtained for nothing. In the long run, the Kyogoku family has made a lot of money.
You know, in history, even Oda Nobunaga suffered heavy losses when he attacked Ise and Nagashima Enjoji Temple. This time the Kyogoku family was able to deal with the Nagashima Wonjoji Temple so smoothly, which can be said to have burned high incense.
After all the people had left, Kyogoku Takamasa called over Ishida Takahiro, Endo Kyouyo and others.
"This time an outbreak broke out in Ise, Yuanben County and Chaoming County suffered a lot of losses, and the people in the territory are also panicked! Although Nagashima Wonjoji Temple has been destroyed, you two still need to pay attention to the next pacification work, and the people in the territory must be relieved as soon as possible Stabilize it!"
"Ha!" Ishida nodded quickly for Hiroshi and Endo Keise.
"In addition, our family has newly acquired Kuwana County. This is the headquarters of Nagashima Wonjoji Temple. The Yixiang Sect has been operating here for a long time. The rule of the Yixiang Sect has been deeply rooted by the residents! Next, you two will treat Kuwana County as The top priority is to carry out population census and land collection at the same time!"
"You must remember that there is no need to rush for success in Sanming County! Otherwise, once a civil uprising is triggered, all our previous efforts will be wasted, so you must strive for victory in a stable manner!"
"clear!"
After the explanation, Kyogoku Takamasa called Kyogoku Hidemasa and Kyogoku Takasho.
"Umasuke, if you two feel that you are not enjoying this battle to the fullest, how about I change your place?"
"What do you mean when Sakyo enters the palace?" Kyogoku Takakatsu and Kyogoku Hidemasa looked at each other in confusion.
Kyogoku Takamasa smiled slightly, and then said: "The Echizen Asakura family is mobilizing troops, and everyone's intention to conquer Wakasa is known to all. The war between our family and the Asakura family is not far away!"
"Now in Wakasa there is only the Uesaka Minbu. I am worried that the Uesaka Minbu will be unable to support itself alone, so I am going to ask you two to help. What do you two think?"
As for Wakasa, although the Kyoto high-ranking political faction has lost a lot of power, the only real important minister is Uesaka Munanobu. Now that the overall situation in Wakasa has been decided, the people's hearts are not yet stable, and Kyogoku Gaomasa is preparing to send a few more generals to Wakasa to help Uesaka Munanobu.
After all, the Takeda family had just fallen into the arms of the Kyogoku family and there was no sense of belonging yet. At this time, the only ones who can really use it are our own people.
"Brother-in-law stayed in Wakasa?" Upon hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's words, Kyogoku Hidemasa was the first to get excited, "I would like to go to Wakasa to help my brother-in-law!"
Uesaka Munanobu married Kyogoku Hidetsuna's daughter, who was Kyogoku Hidemasa's brother-in-law.
Seeing Kyogoku Hidemasa nodding, Kyogoku Takakatsu had no choice and immediately said, "I am also willing to go to Wakasa!"
Kyogoku Takasuki is just a concubine of the Kyogoku family and has no foundation in the family. Once Kyogoku Hidemasa left, only Kyogoku Takamasa's retainers were left in Ise, so Kyogoku Takasatsu didn't want to stay here alone, and the situation was a bit awkward.
"In this case, the two of you will return to Imahama Castle with me and wait for a few days to repair before setting off for Wakasa!"
"Father, I will go and explain it to you!"
"ha!"
Once Kyogoku Hidemasa and Kyogoku Takasho left, Ise would have fewer manpower.
In addition, the newly acquired Kuwana County was in urgent need of manpower, so before Kyogoku Takamasa left, he retained four people, Onoki Kunishige, Hayashi Masanobu, Nagasaka Nobumasa, and Nomura Sadamoto, to cooperate with Ishida. Hiroshi and Endo.
In addition, Kyogoku Takamasa specially called Kasahara Kiyozuna.
"Masaburo, Nagashima Enjoji Temple is located at the junction of the three countries of Mino, Owari, and Ise. The strategic location is very important! Nagashima Enjoji Temple has been burned down, and I ask you to build a castle on the original site of the Enjoji Temple. The city must be large enough to station tens of thousands of troops, and facilities such as castle towns and water gardens need to be planned! The most important thing is that you need to build a port!"
"I plan to develop this place into my family's stronghold in Ise. In addition to daily garrison, it will also serve as a commercial development and port trade!"
"I have thought about it, and among the samurai in my family, you are the only one who can take on this important task. Don't let me down!" Kyogoku Takamasa patted Kasahara Kiyozuna on the shoulder and encouraged him.
Kasahara Kiyotsuna immediately said excitedly: "Thank you for your trust, my lord, I will live up to everyone's expectations!"
To be honest, Kasahara Kiyotsuna's position in the Kyogoku family is a little embarrassing.
First of all, Kasahara Kiyotsuna is a native of Shinano. He has no roots and roots in the Kyogoku family, and he is a "lonely element".
Secondly, Kasahara Kiyotsuna was a reduced general, which caused some samurai to not think highly of Kasahara Kiyotsuna and often isolated him.
Then, Kasahara Kiyotsuna never had a fixed position at home. He was initially responsible for building Yamazaki Castle, and then served as the leader of the equestrian team for a period of time. Then he was assigned to Ise as the castle representative of Akaborikan, and Akabori The museum was the only city captured in Ise's attack this time.
In addition, Kasahara Kiyotsuna does not have any particularly outstanding abilities or achievements, so Kasahara Kiyotsuna is indeed a dispensable existence in the Kyogoku family.
However, Kasahara Kiyotsuna never gave up and always encouraged himself not to care. As long as he was self-restrained and dedicated to the public, sooner or later he would stand out!
Fortunately, Kyogoku Takamasa still values Kasahara Kiyosuna as always.
Now Kyogoku Takamasa has asked Kasahara Kiyotsuna to be responsible for such an important task as city building. Kasahara Kiyotsuna secretly vowed to complete the task with excellence.
When the time comes, let all the samurai in the family take a look!
I'm Kasahara Kiyosuna!
Not trash!
