Chapter 254 Condolences

Looking at each other through Kisochuan, Mino's wealthy families and Yuqiu's family were happy and others were worried.

At Yuqiu's house, craftsmen were working overtime to repair their armor and weapons. Sena's name Yoshi had already contacted more than a dozen wealthy families in Ise, and they were willing to spend a total of nearly 3,000 guan to eat this "brand-new" armor. For the transportation of armor, Sena's name Yoshi originally wanted to transport through Kisogawa's water transportation, but Naoe Tadaehei thought it was not safe enough, so he still walked by land from Ohashi.

Takababa's daily training was also restored. Fukushima Ansei built a huge barracks for training outside Kuroda Castle in accordance with Yu Qiuhei's instructions. The runway, sand pit, archer target, dumbbell and various equipment from later military camps were moved out by Yu Qiuhei.

After Naoe Tadaehide's efforts, every village in Yuqiuping territory sent an acting official, and they were responsible for the implementation of the personal income tax system for taxation during the autumn harvest. As expected, this policy received unanimous praise from the people, just like when he was in the Imakawa family. In addition, Yuqiuping's great victory not long ago successfully surrounded the people's territory without any invasion, which further made Yuqiuping, a lord who had almost never shown his face in front of the territorial people's prestige in the territory unprecedentedly increase.

However, the judge system in the territory before Yuqiuhei was not implemented well. The judges of Yuqiu family were basically veterans who were injured in battle and were discharged from the army. After these Suruga people came to Ohara, they could not get the trust of the local people in Ohara. Even if the judge system had been explained to the people over and over again, when encountering disputes and cases, the people would still seek help from the village chief and clan elders of the village as before. These local snakes firmly controlled the judicial power, which made the senior management of Yuqiu family not have a good solution for the time being.

On the other side of Kisogawa, the four wealthy families of the Saito family have not had a good time this month.

The savings saved for many years were handed over to Yu Qiuping for nearly three-quarters of the time. The senior officials were naturally very unhappy. What made them even more angry was that the lower-level teenagers and the people thought about the goodness of Yu Qiuhongye, and believed that it was all up to his kindness and trustworthiness that they, the poor captured people, could go home and reunite with their families again - they did not pay attention to who paid the ransom! Gradually, Yu Qiuping's reputation of keeping trust and kindness began to spread in the Simeon area.

However, the senior officials of the rich family who were indescribable to say that they had no intention of worrying about Xu Ming at this moment. Because other wealthy families around had long been ready to move towards their territory. To the north of the territory of the four wealthy families, a great wealthy family in Mino's territory - Kiyoshi Hibino. He is the great lord in the county of Kazuo Prefecture of Mino, and one of the "Sato Risuo" of the Mino Saito family. His Adachi Six Bingwei is also a famous strongman in Mino's country, known as "Adachi". After hearing that several small wealthy families located in the south of him were defeated, Hibino immediately made up his mind and tried to take the opportunity to enter the territory of these wealthy families on the grounds of guarding the border and embezzle their territory.

However, Yu Qiuping quickly released the captives of the wealthy clan, which made his plan fail. However, since most of the armor and weapons of these four wealthy clans were detained by Yu Qiuping, they could not even get the equipment used by the armed forces, and their strength was very weak. The Hibino family obviously did not intend to give up, and repeatedly provoked frictions on the border. In the name of helping to manage public security, they occupied nearly 1,000 stone of territory of the Kato family, Nonomura family and the Hara family. Several wealthy clans who were unable to resist had to swallow their front teeth into their stomachs. It is said that the top leaders of the Saito family had heard about the negotiations with the Yu Qiu family. It is good that they would not punish them to collude with the enemy, so how could they help them to uphold justice?

The last messenger sent by Yu Qiuping also left them a prophecy: they would regret it on May 11. This warning was like the sword of Damocles hanging on their heads, making them worried every day. After several families discussed it, although they said that Yu Qiuping was bluffing, they were still afraid that Yu Qiuping would come across the river on May 11. At that time, there would be Hongye Changba, who had strong combat power, and then there would be Ribi Ye Qingshi, who was obviously ulterior motives, and these wealthy families would probably have no good results.

No matter how they prayed, the day of May 11th was still here. Kato Hirota summoned troops long ago and was ready for several newly built Iwaki villages on the banks of Kisogawa. His son Kato Hirota was sent to the northern border by him to guard against the Hirota no family. His undressed forces made him unable to even withdraw the reserve team. He had already discussed with the Hara family, Nonomura family and Kawaki and others before, and this time he would definitely fight the enemy side by side.

However, he waited from the early morning to the morning, until noon, and until afternoon, and had not had two meals ready, but he never waited for news about Yuqiu's attack. Not to mention that the news that was ambushed in Yeli County did not come back, the plains on the other side of Kisochuan were even empty, and there was no intention of attacking at all.

"The rain autumn red leaves... are indeed bluffing!" He cursed himself, "What do we regret not paying back his money on May 11th! Obviously, it was deliberately lying to scammer us assembled the troops!"

Just as he was about to order the troops to withdraw and disband the troops, a commander suddenly rode his horse from the north like crazy. The rider ran straight to the edge of the Yanzhai, and after getting off the horse, he rushed into the Yanzhai.

"What's wrong with my son? Why are you so anxious?" The original Lai Fang recognized that this was the original chief Lai's guard captain and immediately asked anxiously.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" The messenger whispered in a low voice: "An urgent report from Inaya Mountain Castle!"

"What does it mean?" After hearing the name of Inayayama Castle - Saito Family Moto Castle, his whole body immediately tightened. Could it be that something happened to the Saito family? Could it be that his territory was confiscated!

The messenger company drank several sips of water and breathed evenly before speaking in panic:

"Saito Hall suddenly died of illness!"

Upon hearing this news, Lai Fang felt that his eyes were spinning and he almost couldn't stand steadily.

May 11…why!

·

Not long after, in Qingzhou City.

Yu Qiuhei wore a formal samurai outfit early today and was waiting for Oda Nobunaga's urgent summons. Because he clearly remembered that Saito Yoshinori would die on May 11, 1561. He could not remember such a nuanced historical time. However, when he was playing computer games in Japan in his previous life, he once played well. Saito Yoshinori suddenly died of illness, which made him very depressed. So he went to check the time when Saito Yoshinori died of illness, which was May 11. What impressed him even more was that Oda Nobunaga took advantage of the danger of others and invaded Mino who was mourning on May 13.

As expected, in the afternoon, Yu Qiuping received a notice from the mother-robed crowd, asking him to immediately arrive at the Tianshou Pavilion in Qingzhou City.

Since Yu Qiupi was stranded in the city of Qingzhou at this time, he was also one of the first group of senior generals to arrive. After a while, Morikecheng, Shibata Katsuya, and Niba Nagahide, all the important officials who were slightly closer also rode their horses to Qingzhou Castle. Before nightfall, all the samurai of Oda's army and above arrived. Oda Nobunaga also took Lin Xiuzhen and Takigawa Ichii to the Tenshou Pavilion and immediately held this emergency assessment meeting.

Judging from the latest information just brought by Takigawa Ichi, Saito Yoshino must have died. Although the Saito family has established Saito Yoshino's eldest son Saito Yoshino as the next head of the family, Saito Yoshino was under fourteen years old and could not dominate the affairs of the family. It is necessary to establish a retainer to assist in the government. In order to compete for the power of the family, the Mino Hokage faction within the Saito family struggled with the Nao Saito Sect. Saito Risula was also divided into two parts, among which Ando Momoto of the Heroes, Naomoto and Kiyomi Hibiki, advocated that the leaders of the wealthy family should be the main tasks of assisting the government according to the principle of the collusion of the Mino retainers. The leaders of the Nao faction, Naohiro Hirozumi, Hiroko Hiroyuki and Naokao Takeao Naoki tried to defend the power of the Saito family and were unwilling to let the exotic wealthy family enter the center.

Because of the hostility of these two factions in Inabayama City, the top leaders of the Saito family were also in chaos. Even important news such as the death of the Yatuo family could not be blocked. The Oda family had already learned about the chaos inside the Saito family and lacked the backbone, Oda Nobunaga excitedly interrupted Takigawa Ichii's report at the meeting and suddenly stood up from his seat. He stepped on the small table in front of him with one foot and waved the folding fan in his hand with the other.

"Everyone! That bastard Saito Yoshiro finally went to see the King of Hell!" Oda Nobunaga shouted, "The Lord is a weak minister, how can I let go of such a good opportunity?"

"Your Highness!" Ninoha Nagahide looked at Oda Nobunaga's energetic look and couldn't help but remind: "It is really against the morality of the Wu family when attacking people."

"Who cares about those things," Oda Nobunaga shook the folding fan in his hand disdainfully.

"Your Highness, this will inevitably lead to a solid population," Ninoha Nagashui still tried his best to persuade: "If you are not kind and unrighteous, you will lose the hearts of the rich-tailed family!"

"Okay, Migoro, just talk nonsense! Then Yu will personally pick up some troops, prepare sacrifices, and go to mourn my brother-in-law! It's okay!" Oda Nobunaga snorted indifferently, and responded to Niba Nagahide's words.

"Even when our lord died, he just threw a handful of incense on the spiritual seat," Maeda Takiya, who was sitting next to Yu Qiuhei, laughed, "Is there anyone who expects him to cry for the death of Saito Yoshiro?"

"Time is tight, and it's too late to mobilize the entire army!" Oda Nobunaga said loudly, "Except for the rest of the houses, you don't need to assemble troops."

"Red Leaves!" Oda Nobunaga said Yu Qiuhei's first name, "You go back to the territory immediately to assemble troops, and you will pass by Kisochuan tomorrow, occupy several ferries and strongholds, and prepare some incense and candles for Yu's brother-in-law!"

"Yes!" Yu Qiuping bowed his head.

"Kenjiu, Mizaemon! You will also go back and assemble troops immediately, arrive at Hongye's territory before tomorrow night, cross Kisogawa the morning after tomorrow, and build a rock fort as a place for sacrifice." Oda Nobunaga said the names of Shibata Katsuya and Morikazu.

"Yu will personally assemble the army and rush to the banks of the Kisochuan River with the sacrifice the night after tomorrow. At that time, you will have to collect enough ferries or build a pontoon bridge. If it is not completed, come and see you!"

"Yes!" Yu Qiuhei, Moriko-seong and Shibata Katsuki responded in unison.

"Hengxing, you are the one who is in the inner circle. You lead the troops as the rear guard, transporting grain and grass, laying supply lines, and preparing to support the army." Oda Nobunaga once again pointed out the names of Hirohiko Ikeda and Narimasa Sasa.

"The order ends here." Oda Nobunaga said loudly. However, after a moment, his subordinates were still sitting in place and looking at Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga was both angry and funny, and threw the folding fan towards the door and smashed it heavily on the door beam.

"Why are you still standing there? Do you have to wait until my brother-in-law's body is cold before taking action! Go back and prepare!"
Chapter completed!
