Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the tenth day of August, the news of the Imagawa family's attack on Nishi Mikawa had spread. The slow-responsive Oda family finally responded. The lord of Anxiang Castle, Oda Okuma Morinobuhiro, sent out his retainers to contact the Kira family, hoping that the Kira family could go out to assist Anxiang City again.  , because of the Anxiang City battle in the past few years, the Kira family would symbolically send three to five hundred people to fight soy sauce every time. Oda Nobuhiro's request was not too much.  But this time the Oda family will definitely be disappointed, because Nobuzada Ohuchi blocked the messenger as Kira Manshomaru's descendant and the elder of the Kira family. The reason turned out to be the very ridiculous "Autumn harvest is not yet over", and the Kira family received it.  The autumn harvest is not over yet. Even after harvesting the grain, it still needs to be dried, shelled, and counted for storage. So I can only say sorry to Oda Okumamomo.  It is said that the face of the envoy of the Oda family changed at that time. He stood there for a long time, turning green and white, and no one paid attention to him. Finally, he turned back on his horse and cursed. In short, the Oda family probably knew that the Kira family was planning to watch the show.  , As for making a secret agreement with the Imagawa family, the Oda family thinks it is unlikely. After all, famous families like the Kira family value their face more than their lives.  Everyone in the Kira family knows that Yamamoto Kansuke is a very important minister of Kira Manshomaru, and he also serves as Kira Manshomaru's assistant. There is no territorial knowledge in the Kira family, but he receives a salary of 500 kanfu to be his direct retainer. Everyone  Knowing that he would definitely follow Kira Manshomaru to go to Luo, the appointment was quickly approved at the small evaluation meeting. As Kira Manshomaru's hand-picked assistant to the Duke of Shangluo, he was responsible for all preparations for Shangluo Fenggong.  This appointment decision was easy to make, but things were not easy at all, especially since Kira Mansomaru, the hands-off shopkeeper, left the matter to him without asking any questions. Yamamoto Kansuke could only run to Saijo Castle to search for the Kira family's secrets.  For example, after searching, I found out how complicated the preparations for going to Luo Fenggong were. First, they had to submit a letter to the shogunate, and then stipulated what to bring, what gifts to prepare, the route along the way to Luo, where to rest, etc. It was dazzling to see the myriad of details.  And the most outrageous thing is that these preparations have to be done half a year in advance. It was already early August when Kira Manshomaru appointed him as the assistant minister. Kira Manshomaru also promised to go to Luo on August 28th. How could he do it in such a hurry?  Kansuke Yamamoto almost died.  After all, the famous Warring States general was different from others. He immediately decided to simplify everything, so he cut off more than half of the preparation work with a stroke of a pen. Everything was completed in fifteen days. As a result, the retainers in Saijo Castle were unlucky.  They were called in to help, and the Mahui warriors were also called in. Later, they felt that these guys were really in the way, so they sent them back, and then went to Pudaizhong to catch the strong men, and tormented Pudaizhong to death. This auxiliary retainer went too far.  There was a flurry of excitement, which made people's expressions change.  August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival in the lunar calendar. It is called the Tsukimi Festival in Japan. According to legend, it is the Moon Festival on the 15th night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The royal family and ministers of the Heian period liked to go boating on rivers and lakes and hold grand banquets.  The banquet was decorated with day lilies, and the activities between the banquets included Japanese singing, Japanese opera, and dancing with white beats. The banquet also included glutinous rice dumplings, yam, edamame, chestnuts and other foods. In addition, at this time,  Drink the imperial wine.  There are many Japanese songs with the theme of appreciating the moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they are divided into various names based on the changes in the moonlight that night. For example, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival when the clouds rise and the moon disappears, it is called "moonless", and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival when autumn rain falls  It is called the "Rainy Moon", and the night of the 14th, 15th and 16th of August is called "Taixiao" and "Sixteenth Night" respectively in haiku, to show the affectionate names before and after the famous month.  On the night of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, only Aju accompanied him to admire the moon, which made him feel even more lonely. Kansuke Yamamoto was too busy all day long to see anyone. Zenjiro Yamaoka was still addicted to the world of the art of war. Yahachiro Honda was also arrested by Kansuke Yamamoto to do something.  , coupled with the fact that Kira Manshomaru allowed those who were not on duty to go home to reunite with their relatives, the entire main maru became empty.  "Aju, we are going to Luo, are you happy?" "Yeah! Aju is so happy! Aju wants to thank His Highness!" This question has been asked many times by Kira Mansongmaru, and the answer he gets every time is always  So similar, Aju is like a caring sister who responds to all requests. Whenever Kira Manshomaru needs her, she will appear as soon as possible.  "A'Ju is really happy. His Highness should prepare a gift for His Highness the Central Court." A'Ju magically took out a small jar filled with thousand paper cranes. A'Ju picked up a thousand paper crane and gently  Pulling the paper crane's head and wings, there was a happy smile in her eyes: "Ah Ju finally learned how to fold the Thousand Feathered Cranes His Highness! Now A Ju has folded a thousand and one of them! Ah Ju wants to fold these Thousand Feathered Cranes  "Give it to Your Highness." "Eh? Do you want to give it to me? But what does the paper crane mean" Kira Wansongmaru unconsciously thought a little. He folded the paper crane out of boredom.  Medieval Japan was so depressing that people would die if they didn¡¯t have some fun, and then somehow? He was discovered by Ah Ju, and then she pestered him to learn how to fold a thousand paper cranes. As for why he was called Thousand Feather Cranes, he didn't know why. He also gave the thousand paper cranes a nickname of "biwing bird".  Not accepted.  "I wish His Highness good health! All your wishes will come true! His Highness must have thought so too!" The smile on Aju's face became brighter and brighter, which made Kira Wansongmaru feel a chill down his spine, so he decisively rubbed his head and hit  He yawned: "Speaking of which, I'm a little sleepy! Anyway, let's go to bed early!" "Kano!" Kira Mansomaru dropped the word "goodbye" and ran away decisively, even forgetting to take the small jar.  The bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival sprinkled little bits of silver light on her body, making her look more like a witch praying under the moon. Aju looked thoughtfully at the little figure running away in embarrassment, with a knowing look on her face.  Smiling: "Your Highness, please grow up quickly! There are many beautiful women in Kyoto waiting for Your Highness!" The Mid-Autumn Moon Festival passed in peace. The next day, Tojo Castle sent an envoy, Tominaga Bizen Mori Shihiro personally  He went out and came to visit with a letter from Kira Yoshian. In the large room of Saijo Castle, Kira Mansomaru read the short letter at a glance, with a faint smile on his face: "Brother, have you decided to switch to the Imagawa family?  ?¡± ¡°Yes! Because the people from Hoihi County defected to the Imagawa side, which prompted my lord to make a decision. Before I came out, my lord asked me to ask Lord Oyagata to discuss the matter. I, Zihiro, asked you to speak on behalf of the Kira family.  "Tominaga Zihiro didn't look up for a week. He seemed to have made up his mind when Kira Manshomaru agreed.  "Tominaga-don is really a frank person! In this case, let me pass the information on my behalf!" Kira Manshomaru agreed with a little helplessness. He was able to handle the task so easily, making the head of the Shimo-Kira family very happy.  After praying again and again, I rushed back to Tojo Castle with the good news.  "It's obviously my wish, why do you always feel so awkward?" Kira Manshomaru smiled bitterly, shook his head, took out a pen and paper and scribbled down a few lines, and added Kira Yi'an's letter  Attached, I called Zenjiro Yamaoka and asked him to send the letter to Taiyuan Xuezai in Okazaki Castle.  Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mikawa Kingdom experienced a large-scale rainfall. In order to build momentum, Kira Manshomaru specially ordered horseback samurai to serve as messengers, compiled dozens of letters and sent them to Mikawa Kingdom, and invited Mikawa monks to come to Luo to protect him.
