When they saw the Sanhao Army gradually withdrawing, Yu Qiuping and Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin couldn't even believe it. Just when they were at the end of their rope, the Sanhao Army, which had a chance of winning, withdrew. Yu Qiuping and Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin were worried that something might happen.
They retreated to Okafeng Castle and did not dare to pursue, which gave the Miyoshi army an opportunity to retreat calmly and make random arrests.
After all the Miyoshi troops had withdrawn, Amakihei finally received information from the ninjas of Sanada Masayuki's Military Intelligence Department - Hashiba Hideyoshi had made a surprise attack on Awaji, and more Oda troops were likely to land on Awaji, forcing the entire Miyoshi family to
Return to defense.
After receiving the news, the coalition forces quickly attacked and began to regain the lost territory. Most of the cities in East Tosa and Central Tosa had been abandoned by the Miyoshi family. However, when the Miyoshi family's army passed by, they all turned into a bare field. There was no crops left in the fields.
, were all robbed by the Miyoshi family. All the castle towns and villages were looted. After all the removable property and food were taken away, each castle town and village was burned to the ground. The Miyoshi family also destroyed a large number of bridges.
, plank roads, and wells, almost destroyed Tosa into a white ground.
When Yuqiu's army and Changzongga's army recaptured Xiangzong City, Anyi City, and Benshan City that had been abandoned by the Sanhao Army, almost all the people there were hungry, cold, and homeless. Changzongga's Yuanqin was in urgent need
Military rations were transferred from Gangfeng City to help the people, but epidemics and famine were still inevitable.
The Miyoshi Army did not give up all the land they occupied this time. Nishi Tosa is still under their control. There are many Miyoshi Nagakei troops staying in Susaki Castle. Susaki Castle is the key link between Nishi Tosa and Central Tosa and cannot be defeated.
Suzaki Castle, there was no way to enter Nishi Tosa. However, all the energy of the Chosoga family was devoted to relieving the victims and reorganizing the territory, and they could not spare the troops to attack Susaki Castle for a while.
And Tosa has suffered such a degree of damage, and I don't know how long it will take to recover.
"You have done something evil... you have done something evil..." Kira sat at the top of the city of Okafeng City, watching a large number of victims come to Okafeng City with their families to take refuge and receive relief food. The queue of victims spread out to more than a dozen people.
Inside, you can't see the edge at a glance. On both sides of the road, you can see corpses that died of freezing and starvation, as well as burned fields and villages. Thinking of the once beautiful Tosa being destroyed like this, Kira Okasada couldn't bear it.
He wiped his tears. This elegant warrior who had always been well-educated, but he kept scolding the Miyoshi family, "The Miyoshi family are really evil beasts... How could they do such a thing..."
Yu Qiuping stood beside Kira Qingzhen, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He asked himself, if Hanoi Izumi suffered such a devastating blow, what if the people of Maple Leaf Mountain City suffered the same thing as a few years ago?
In hell on earth, he would probably be heartbroken and unable to extricate himself.
"I still have to thank His Highness Jibu for your generous assistance..." Kira Qinzhen complained for a while, then suddenly turned his head and thanked Yu Qiupei. He was referring to the assistance of the Sakai Town merchants led by the Mitsubishi Caravan for the reconstruction of Tosa.
Help them rebuild Tosa. "I am so kind and kind, I may not be able to repay you in many lifetimes."
"Your Majesty Kira, you don't have to be polite. You should help each other." Yu Qiuping nodded, but felt a little embarrassed because he felt that the businessmen of the Congress were suspected of using this to make money for the country. They had a monopoly on all supplies needed for reconstruction.
They also took the opportunity to open various shops to every corner of Nishi Tosa and Higashi Tosa, transporting daily necessities produced by the factory in Oka Toyo Castle Castle to the shops for sale, forming a complete industrial chain. There is no doubt that they will completely occupy
Tosa's market drove out all other merchants and made huge profits. In the future, Tosa and the Chosogabe family, who are burdened with heavy debts, may have to spend their entire lives paying off their debts.
But no matter what, these wealthy businessmen still helped the victims. If there were no caravans running up and down to transport supplies, the reconstruction of Tosa would be far away.
"I'm about to leave. You guys have to protect Tosa." Yu Qiuping patted Kira Qinzhen on the shoulder and sighed, "It's really terrible for three good brothers and four brothers to take action at the same time. It's not true at all.
opponent."
"Yes...if the Miyoshi army comes again next time, we may not be able to stop it. At that time, I don't know what choice my brother will make. Will he surrender to the Miyoshi family or run into exile? At that time, His Highness Jibu will be able to
Are you willing to take her in?" Ji Liang shook his head helplessly and whispered in a sad tone.
"You are welcome at any time, but I hope that day will never come." Yu Qiuping shook his head, and the hand that patted Ji Liang's shoulder slowly tightened, "If the Sanhao family comes back, I will come to reinforce it. We can't let it last for a long time.
Master Wu, Master Jiangcun, they sacrificed their lives in vain."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness. The Chosou family will always remember your kindness. This time, my third brother Qin Tai will go to Kinki with His Highness Jibu to personally convey the gratitude of the Chosong family to Oda Main Hall."

On July 5, Yu Qiupei led his army to set sail and left Tosa. Seven days later, the Red Leaf Fleet returned to Kishiwada Port. Yu Qiupei rushed back to Maple Leaf Mountain Castle overnight, hoping to see his family as soon as possible. He and the guards had already visited the Xiangzong Division.
Riding horses all the way, running through the night with torches. I don’t know how long I ran, but I could vaguely see the huge outline of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, and the brightly lit outer castle town of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle - but today’s castle town seemed to be much brighter than usual.
Times?
"What's going on? Is today a festival?" Yu Qiuping pointed to the large ball of fire in the dark night with a torch and asked his guards. Everyone shook their heads in confusion.
"Is it going to be a bonfire party?" Asahina Taihei, who had just officially become a Yuanfu, joked at the side. His Yuanfu ceremony was hosted by Yu Qiupei on the ship, and Yu Qiupei personally served as the black hat bride. He gave the Asahina family's pass.
He gave him the character "Tai", and also gave him his own character "平". According to common sense, the lord's bestowal character should be placed on top, which is Asahina Heitai. But Yu Qiupei wanted to commemorate the person who had taken care of him for many years.
My eldest brother is the first friend I can make friends with when I come to this world. In order to show my respect for him, I put the word "Tai" in the upper character. Anyway, when I didn't understand these rules before, I had already put the word "平" in the upper part.
There is no particular emphasis on the subtitle of Guo Naoe Zhonghei.
"Bonfire party? What are you celebrating? Are you celebrating that your highness escaped from Tosa with his tail between his legs?" Yu Qiuping laughed angrily twice, pinched the horse's belly, and increased his speed, "Let's hurry up."
When the group of people drove not far from the castle town of Maple Leaf Mountain City, Yu Qiuping finally saw clearly what the fire was—probably more than half of the nearly 200,000 people in Maple Leaf Mountain City were carrying lanterns and holding torches.
Outside the city, when they saw the figures of Yu Qiuping and his entourage appearing at the end of the road, they immediately gave out cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami to welcome their governor's safe return.
"Oh my God..." Xiang Zong's subordinate Qin Tai couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw such a spectacular scene, "I have heard for a long time that Maple Leaf Mountain City is the number one city in Japan. After seeing it today, the rumored population of hundreds of thousands is probably not a lie.
"
"Furthermore, the public support of His Highness the Governor... is really breathtaking." Xiangzong's minister shook his head and smacked his tongue in disbelief, "Thousands of people lined the road to welcome you in triumph, and they still didn't go back until midnight... Since ancient times,
I have never heard of anyone being treated like this."
"The entire people of Maple Leaf Mountain City were saved by my Highness from famine and severe winter. The Maple Leaf Mountain Castle and the castle town that His Highness Xiangzong sees now were also built by my Highness. The Yuqiu family has lived in Maple Leaf Mountain Castle for almost ten years.
Maple Leaf Mountain City has never suffered from war again, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. His Highness loves the people like sons and treats them kindly. After so many years, let alone humans, even wood will have feelings." Asahina Taihei talked about Yu Qiupei, his eyes were filled with emotion.
Everything seemed to be glowing, "Not to mention Maple Leaf Mountain City, the people of Hanoi and Iquan all love our Highness..."
Asahina Taihei's words gradually became inaudible, because the cheers of the people carried by the wind had covered up all other sounds. Yu Qiupei turned over and dismounted, and greeted the people who were waiting on the roadside one by one. Inadvertently, he became red.
Eye socket.
After he passed through the enthusiastic crowds in the castle town, the streets around Sannomaru, Ninomaru, Honmaru, the castle tower, and the Yashiki were still full of people waiting to welcome him back. When he finally returned to the castle tower
, the sky was already bright. He walked to the bedroom on the top floor, and before he could knock on the door, the door opened by itself. Then, a figure threw himself into his arms.
"Why are you awake?" Yu Qiuping naturally hugged the person in his arms and gently stroked her hair, "Aren't you still sleeping at this point?"
"Idiot, I've been waiting for you all night, watching you slowly coming in from a distance on the castle tower." Imagawa Kaede squeezed Yu Qiuping's waist hard with his hand, and couldn't help but scolded,
"It's better for you. You just shake hands with the people and don't come back to me. You just leave me here all night. Do you know how anxious I was while you were trapped in Tosa?"
"Well, it's my fault that makes everyone worry." Yu Qiuping apologetically placed a kiss on Imagawa Feng's hair, "Let's go back, let's go back and catch up on some sleep."
"No, wait a minute." Hearing this, Imagawa Feng suddenly stepped away from Yu Qiuping, and then took two steps back, mysteriously.
"What do you want to do?" Yu Qiuping was stunned when he saw this, and said with a dumb smile.
Kaede Imagawa seemed to be very dissatisfied with Yu Qiuping's smile, and frowned angrily. She didn't stop until Yu Qiuping stopped laughing. Then, she said to Yu Qiu the standard etiquette for a daughter of a Japanese samurai family to welcome her husband.
, said softly:
"Welcome back."
Yu Qiuping was stunned, and suddenly realized what Imagawa Kaede was doing. Tears instantly blurred his eyes, and memories of that snowy night almost twenty years ago flooded into his mind. That was the snowy night in Junfu...
·
"Anyway, no matter how much," Imagawa Kaede stood on tiptoes, leaned against Yu Qiuping's ear, and whispered softly: "When you say 'I'm back', I will definitely wait for you at home and say 'Welcome back'
'."
Yu Qiuping suddenly felt that the softest place in his heart suddenly collapsed. He raised his arms and hugged the girl tightly into his arms. In the heavy snow, the young couple hugged each other for a long time.
The coldness in my heart was also dispelled by the girl's warmth.
The road to the past is too painful to look back on, so I can only keep moving forward on this road. I lost my original life, my parents, my relatives and friends, and everything I once had.
However, I no longer feel empty, lonely and inexplicably sad.
Because where there is love, there is home.
Because you are here, I still have a place to go back to.
"go home."
·
Yu Qiuping suddenly took a step forward, hugging the beauty tightly into his arms just like he did twenty years ago, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
