    Autumn turns to winter and the end of the year is approaching, and the two annual promotions to ministers are carried out as scheduled. According to the court's practice, November each year and the first month of the following year are the main months for the court to grant and promote officials. Occasionally, March and April  The appointment of the public minister in the first month of the month or in other months, but usually this situation is rare.  This time, several ministers with deep ties to the Kira family were promoted. The first was Konoe Haritsugu, who had just got married. He resigned as Sakonoe general and promoted two right ministers to Shogun. This should be the court's response to the shogunate.  The gradually strengthening trend has high psychological expectations, and at the same time, he succeeded Guangqiao Guoguang as the military commander. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away\  Kira Yoshitoki's uncle, Nakain Michio, was also promoted to the rank of Nakadai Nagan. Nakain Michi was promoted to the fourth rank of Ukonoe Major General. With the full support of his father-in-law, Kuga Haremichi, and Kira Yoshitoki,  With his strong performance in the past few years, he has crossed the threshold of the fourth position in one step, and his promotion speed is also very fast.  In late November, the training of Kira's new army was basically completed. In the new round of small competition, the 500 red cavalry performed well. In simulated confrontations with the same number of people, they were able to repel the Ashigaru infantry every time.  , combined with the impact of the war horses, the lances and scimitars worked well together with the assault. Even the gun and shield team could not stop their frontal assault.  At the same time, the Akabei Cavalry and the Horsemen also replaced their war horses at the same time. After half a year of operation, Biwaya had hundreds of high-quality war horses from Oshu and Hokuriku. The Kira family was near the water, first come first served, and the two inferior horses from the reserve team were first replaced.  Good horses are eliminated and replaced in sequence.  This replacement is expected to cost 10,000 Guan Yongle money.  The armoring of war horses is also carried out at the same time.  Taking into account the combat effectiveness of the war horse's load.  The horse armor of these seven hundred cavalrymen was chosen to be lightweight and capable of resisting swords and guns. It was mainly worn on the horse's head and chest. In the process of making the horse armor, Kira Yoshitsune also ordered people to make blindfolds to control the field of vision of the war horses.  Effectively improve combat effectiveness.  Sakamoto in the winter months is a big construction site, with new towns under construction everywhere and townspeople busy moving in. Since Enryakuji Temple bowed its head under the pressure of the imperial shogunate, the development of Sakamoto Town has become more and more prosperous.  Even Hieizan Enryakuji Temple, a local snake, rarely bowed its head, so the townspeople had nothing to worry about.  The influence of the harmony between Enryakuji Temple and the Kira family quickly turned into a centripetal force, including the management of Biwaya, which was recognized by many businessmen. Biwaya successively set up branches in Otsu, Katada, and Imahama, and basically mastered the sales issues of half of Lake Biwa.  Since the surrender of the Kenda Navy, the Kira family's navy has also extended its sphere of influence to the north of Lake Biwa, and the Aichi congregation in Imahama Town has also been included in the Kira family's business district.  Usayama Castle, the largest city in Otsu, is located on Mount Usa with an altitude of 336 meters. At the foot of the mountain is the street leading to Kyoto.  At the same time, you can also overlook the Uji River Waterway, which is only 1 kilometer away from Lake Biwa.  It is one of the most fortified castles in Omi.  Before that, it had been controlled by Yamaoka Keiyuki. With the Otsu Ikku incident, the Yamaoka family lost all their money, and all the territory in the Otsu area was compensated to the Kira family. It has become the new territory of the Kira family, and the Kira family is within the castle.  The issue of the appointment of the Dai has been debated for many days, and Kira Yoshitomo is not sure who should be appointed as the Castle Dai.  "Master! Please make a decision as soon as possible regarding the issue of Usayama Castle Castle?" This is the first time that Hosokawa Fujitaka has said this. His attitude is understandable. The followers have been striving for this position, especially Hosokawa Fujitaka.  I, myself, served as Sakamoto Jodai when the Kira family was in battle, and this time Usayama Jojo has the highest voice.  Kira Yoshishi said in a warm voice: "Does Fujitaka want to go to Usayama Castle to become a castle representative? But I still need you to handle the big affairs of our family. We really can't do without capable hands!" He knew very well why Hosokawa Fujitaka was anxious. Some people didn't want to let him take over.  The public came forward and believed that the position of the castle was best filled by a samurai from Mikawa. There were even unpleasant rumors, which made the members of the group feel very anxious.  "My Majesty recommends Matsui-den as the castle representative. I wonder what the master of the hall thinks of it?" Hosokawa Fujitaka suggested again.  Kira Yoshishi shook his head in denial without hesitation. Not to mention the great role of Matsui Yukan, even if he had the most power, he could never be used as a city lord. This person was an Okubo Changan-type figure, both in terms of talent, skill and character.  They are all very similar. They can only be seen under his nose. Once they are released, there is no telling how many troubles they will cause.  ¡° Hosokawa Fujitaka left in dismay, and in the end he was unable to find out Kira Yoshitsune¡¯s true thoughts. He had anticipated the difficulties he might encounter, but he didn¡¯t expect them to come so quickly.  "How about letting the master craftsman be the castle representative?" Kira Yoshi hesitated for a moment, but still rejected the idea, "the master craftsman is the right-hand man of the family, and the good bond between the Mikawa samurai and the Omi samurai is all due to his efforts.  If you go to Usayama Castle, home?What should I do if something goes wrong again?  ¡± Since the last time Yamamoto Tokiyuki proposed the theory of "the golden mean is the way to balance", it has been highly valued by Kira Yoshitoki. In addition to insisting on military reforms, using small competitions to improve the skills and combat power of samurai, and at the same time changing weapons  equipment, and spent a large amount of money on training elites. Among them, the seven hundred cavalry cost him thirteen thousand Yongle coins, which was almost equal to the total income of the Kira family in a month. At the same time, he, the family governor, frequently appeared at the training ground to encourage training.  , all the Mikawa samurai felt extremely grateful to him. In addition, after spending two years with Omi samurai, most people's first children had been born a few months ago, including the samurai who came from Mikawa in the past few months.  Through the intermediary of Yamamoto Tokiyuki, they have combined with the widows in the county. The conflicts between the two parties are not outstanding. The only problem is that the senior samurai have doubts about their right to speak. Kira Yoshitoki uses practical actions to prove that his handling is fair.  It was impeccable, no matter the Mikawa samurai or the Omi samurai, they were all treated with new weapons and received new training, which also made some people's private thoughts no longer put on the table.  The plain spears at the head of the spears are used against each other, and the hardwood weapons are not as powerful as the Chinese guns. They rely entirely on personal arm strength, physical strength and skills. This is very similar to the situation before the Great Song Dynasty. This time, Kira Yoshi's opponent was replaced by Nian.  Shima Sakon is one year older than him. The two have been fighting for fifteen rounds. Shima Sakon is in a slightly better condition with only a little breathlessness, while Kira Yoshi is a little tired and sweating profusely. This is the difference between long-term training and short-term training.  Shima Sakon has been running around in the wild since he was a child. In order to eat some nutritious food to support his spiritual practice, he can only hunt wild beasts with real swords, guns, and bows. Sometimes he has to find a way to deal with wild boars and other animals by himself.  For him, training is the instinct of survival. The stronger his ability, the more prey he can catch. He has been pampered since he was a child, and he has lived a life of food and clothing. Training is simply to hone his will and strengthen his physical fitness.  When I was a child, practicing with a wooden sword for an hour a day couldn't accomplish much. After receiving professional spearmanship training for more than half a year, my strength and physical strength have grown rapidly, but this is still worse than Shima Sakon. The two stood in a stalemate for a while, waiting.  The moment the two men took a breath, they thrust out their spears almost at the same time. The huge rebound force at the moment when the two spears collided made them both take a step back. Kira Yoshitsune felt his hands were sore and numb, but he still gritted his teeth.  Holding the spear covered in sweat, he thrust with all his strength. Facing the thrust of the spear, Shima Sakon calmly retreated and stepped back. At the same time, he staggered his thrust with the extended spear and suddenly rolled his spear away.  The spirit snake came out of the hole and stabbed his arm along the shoulder. This series of responses was completed in the blink of an eye. Kiragi, who had already exhausted all his strength, could not make effective responses at all. "Pfft!"  "Under the influence of the huge force, Kira Yoshishi was knocked backwards and thrown out. The plain gun in his hand could no longer be held and flew away. "Mr. Hall Master!  "Several young people trotted over to help Kiragi. "Shima Sakon performed well, pay attention to your strength next time!  "Watanabe Takatsuna seems to have gotten used to this result. No one complained that Shima Tokikatsu's shot was too heavy. "Isn't Sakon's move just now a curling gun?  It¡¯s so exciting!  "His head was shaking and he was a little dizzy. Ji Liangyi pushed away the little man who was helping him, rubbed his sore shoulders and said with a smile: "You should have kept your hand just now, otherwise my arm will be damaged in two days.  Don't try to exert force.  " "I also have the advantage of having a long spear, so I may not be able to use the curling spear with a short spear.  "Shima Tokikatsu said modestly. "Not to mention the spear commander, my resume and strength are far inferior to yours. I am going all out. How much strength did you show just now?  Seven points or eight points?  " "Seven points.  " "It will take another half a year to practice.  "Ji Liangyi shook his head, and he couldn't relax at all in systematic training. This principle was known in the Ming Dynasty as "If you don't practice for one day, your hands and feet will be slow, if you don't practice for two days, half will be lost, and if you don't practice for three days, you will be a layman." In the past, his swordsmanship was so-so.  , I came to Sakamoto and spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. After last summer, I gradually got on the right track. It took more than a year to switch from sword practice to spear practice. Compared with Shima Tokikatsu and Taki who have been practicing all year round.  For Chuan Shiyi and others, one year of hard work is not enough. Even if he has extraordinary talent and does not have three or two years of practice, no one can predict how high his future achievements will be.  Adding hot water from time to time and running water for bathing are done by ordinary maids every day. Aju doesn't come often. Of course, this is also Kira Yoshitoki's request. Her status is different from ordinary maids. This kind of menial work can be done by the maids.  , His luck was not good today, so Aju came over to help him take a bath. Looking at Aju¡¯s quiet and gentle smile, Kira Yoshi said with an uneasy look on his face: ¡°Well Aju must be very tired, right?  How about first?Rest?  " Aju saw the bruises on his shoulders. Kiragi grinned in pain from a light touch and asked, "Is your highness injured again?  Is it still Sakon this time?  " "Well, I can't beat him. That kid is so perverted with his brute strength!  "Ji Liang Yi Shi curled his lips and said. "When there are no outsiders, Kira Yi Shi always shows his true nature habitually, and some strange words are also used by A Ju. He smiled and said: "Your Highness has just started practicing, don't worry too much.  It's bad if it hurts your body.  "    "Well!  knew.  "Ji Liangyi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Is the game of Dahaoshang fun?  Recently, I often see a group of maids and nicknames playing in the corridor. Unfortunately, my status is not suitable for me to play with everyone. It is really lonely!  " Aju smiled and said: "If your highness wants to play, Aju will play with you!  Ah Ju is very good at playing Dahao Shang!  I haven¡¯t lost yet!  "    "oh?  I just happened to come up with some new settings to improve the game, and I can¡¯t believe you can still win!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! PS: I have to admit, I got the number of chapters wrong. Two 188 chapters are really dizzying. I have to say that my brain has become slow when typing in the middle of the night.  , please understand!
