Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Perhaps Kira Yoshitoki's suggestion made him angry, so Nagao Kagetora continued his trip with his retainers. This was a second trip around Kinki. In his words, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading, so he wanted to go out.  Walking around the beautiful mountains and rivers of Kinki, going boating on the banks of Loquat Lake, reciting poems and writing poems, etc., I should digest his suggestions.  Kira Yoshitoki didn't understand the connection between traveling, reciting poems and writing poems and digesting his suggestions, but he didn't dare to mess with this guy. This seemingly kind-hearted young man was still the Echigo Dragon who chose people to devour.  , thinking about his sick wife and became troubled again.  Just when he was troubled by this, the sudden visit of Konoe Haritsugu disrupted his rhythm. When the minister Guan Baizuo opened his mouth, he almost fainted from fright.  "I'm sorry, Yoshitoki!" Konoe Haritsugu said apologetically: "My sister-in-law is ill and may not be able to complete her engagement with Yoshitoki!" "What is going on?" Kira Yoshitoki was stunned for a moment, his head dizzy.  He fainted for a quarter of an hour before he realized that he had encountered such a thing. He felt happy or bitter in his heart: "I haven't thought about how to talk about the engagement, but you suddenly said that you are not in good health.  Can't fulfill the engagement? Is it too hard to give her a gift? Or should I say that I am too lucky?" At this moment, he thought of several answers, and vaguely remembered what Ashikaga Yoshito had said earlier.  Intentionally or unintentionally, I was reminded that Konoe Zetsuhime was in poor health, and I recalled that Naoze Michizan once mentioned that there was a princess in Kyoto who was an extremely noble family member. She was born with frail health and was in and out of health.  Whether you live past twenty depends on luck.  Even if you get married, it is difficult to have children.  And a few days ago, Konoe Haritsugu suddenly left in a hurry.  Then rumors spread about the princess' illness in Konoe's house.  This was revealed after the news was deliberately blocked. It is really difficult to say the exact extent of the illness. If the marriage ceremony is not held two years later, it will have a huge impact on the reputation of the Konoe family and the Kira family.  of blow.  Including Ashikaga Yoshit¨­, the shogunate, they could not accept the result that his wife died of illness before they got married, the woman who made the engagement died before she got married, and her husband was called a widower, and the man who made the engagement didn't get married yet.  What should I call my wife if she dies?  How much harm will this cause to Kira Yoshitoki, and how much impact will it have on the Kira family and the shogunate?  The Konoe family will also be suspected of doing it deliberately.  With so many direct and collateral relatives of the Konoe family, couldn't they choose a princess with good health and both political integrity and talent to marry Kira Yoshi?  Why would you choose a sick man who is dying to be your fianc¨¦e?  How much harm will it cause to the Konoe family by then?  Don¡¯t forget that the Kujo family, the Shoseki family, are the mortal enemies of the Konoe family. Although Kujo Nodori went bankrupt and lived in seclusion due to unbearable debt pressure after falling out with his retainers, the powerful Takaji family of the Konoe family also died out, and now in  Among the most distinguished of the five regents, the Konoe family must face the possible criticism of two political opponents, Nijo and Ichibo alone. In particular, Nijo Haruyoshi, the former Minister of Sekisakuzuo and the elder of the Fuji family, is his main political opponent and will never let him go.  Opportunity to criticize him.  ¡°My sister-in-law is very talented and good-looking, and Moto and Yoshitoki are a good couple, but unfortunately she is born with a weak body that is difficult to recover from¡­¡± Konoe Haritsugu was also embarrassed.  My sister suddenly fell ill and was almost in danger of death, although she was rescued by Michizan Qunaose.  But after this blow, everyone including his father objected to continuing to fulfill the engagement. He could only bite the bullet and explain: "A few days ago, she had decided to become a nun to pray for my Konoe family, so I'm sorry.  "I didn't expect it to be like this? I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck!" Ji Liangyi sighed, and he didn't need to think too much about it.  With what kind of pessimism and disappointment will he face the bleak life, and finally decide to abandon the worldly glory and wealth and spend the rest of his life in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.  "That is to sayDid Princess Zeuhime herself ask to become a nun?" "Although I am a little embarrassed, I still have to sayyes!" Konoe Haritsugu looked sad, and he also felt sorry for this precious sister.  , the legitimate daughter of the Konoe family is not just a piece of cake on the street. She is gentle, kind-hearted, has both political integrity and talent, and her outstanding beauty makes this sister very popular in the family.  But God is jealous of talents, but such a perfect woman is born weak. She spends all day lingering on the hospital bed and can only keep company with books. Now she has just made a perfect match, but she can't get sick and almost separate the yin and yang, which makes him lament.  Why would God and Buddha treat his sister and the Konoe family like this?  Isn't he pious enough?  After lamenting for a long time, he forced himself to pull himself together, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have a younger sister who is eight years old this year. She is also very suitable as a marriage partner for Yishi" "Wait! I  I have something to say!" He quickly stopped what he was saying and started.Wouldn¡¯t it be a lie to let him continue talking and give himself a girl again?  So he took a deep breath and said, "Since Her Majesty Zekihime cannot fulfill the engagement, I think it is necessary to think carefully before speaking!" "What does Yoshitoki mean?" Konoe Haritsugu immediately understood the rejection in his words,  He said with a slight displeasure: "Don't my daughter of the Konoe family agree with your wishes?" "No! I just feel that this is very unfair to Princess Jueki. If it were replaced by someone else, she would definitely be allowed to do so.  It¡¯s even more sad!¡± Konoe Haritsugu was silent. Kira Yoshitoki was right. Zeuhime and Ashikaga Yoshito¡¯s wife Kikuhime are both his sisters. The three siblings have gotten along very well since childhood.  Jue Ji's health has never been very good and she hasn't been out much since she was a child. The only people she can get along well with at home are her brother and sister.  And the eight-year-old sister he just mentioned is just a concubine. She is far different in terms of birth status and closeness. Konoe Haritsugu also knows that doing this will be very unfair to Zeki, and even the news itself will make her unable to  Accept it, but the marriage with the Kira family was a strategy set by his father, the Konoe family, so he couldn't make a decision for the moment.  "How about adopting a daughter? The adopted daughter of a daughter of the samurai family?" "No! It's absolutely not allowed to adopt a daughter! It's not like my Konoe family doesn't have daughters" Konoe Haritsugu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yuzi has arrived.  Yes. "The word "Youzi" originated from ancient China and originally meant the son of a brother.  That is what nephew means.  But the meaning changed after it was introduced to Japan.  The earliest record of Yuko in Japanese history was in the Heian period. Gensada was designated as Yuko by Emperor Junwa. The difference between Yuko and adopted son is that Yuko is only a contractual relationship, and Yuko does not have to change his original surname.  , more similar to the meaning of recognizing a godfather and godmother, but the difference is that Youzi can enjoy inheritance rights.  The purpose of becoming a Yuko is to be promoted more smoothly in the official position, to take advantage of marriage or to strengthen the relationship with other clans, after the Kamakura period.  The boundary between Youzi and adopted son was clearly drawn. In the Warring States Period, the custom of Youzi became more popular. For example, a certain monkey was adopted as Youzi by the person in front of him, thus successfully obtaining the position of Guanbai.  "Yu Zi?" Kira Yoshi thought for a while and then said, "That's okay! Then it's settled! Let me contact the daughter of the samurai family!" "Yeah!" Konoe Haritsugu stood up and left.  After the Konoe family's problem was solved, he immediately sent someone to contact Nagao Kagetora, and at the same time returned to Sakamoto to make necessary preparations. The first was to strengthen the defense force. The damaged reserve team was still recuperating, and Omi's four preparations were still in good order.  The return construction.  The nine thousand troops were replenished without much effort, and there were one thousand more men.  Coupled with the wounded soldiers in the past few years, it is no problem to claim that there are 12,000 troops. If the water is squeezed out, there will still be 5,000 soldiers that can fight.  The training of the Iron Artillery Team was good, but the tactical advantages of the Iron Artillery Team had not yet been fully utilized. At the post-war military meeting, Takigawa Masushige also expressed his opinion that the Iron Artillery Team was not suitable for firing volleys in front of the formation.  It is best to be on a river that is inaccessible. If there is no bombardment of 300 heavy iron cannons in the Katsura Chuan Battle, the Mihaoshi family would not dare to charge, fearing that the occupation would be even worse.  After the introduction of the Kiso horse breed during Kiragi's reign, dozens of horses have been able to be ridden and trained in the past two years. In addition, some inferior Oshu horses are enough to equip the riding horses of more than 100 people.  Speaking of which, the Japanese horse belongs to the Mongolian horse breed. It is characterized by its short stature and short, thick legs. It is cold-resistant and has strong tolerance. It can also eat rough grass and snow to satisfy its hunger. However, it is not suitable to be used as a heavy cavalry horse because of its impact and strength.  The speed is not good, but it is very suitable for light cavalry and horse archers.  Of course, it doesn't matter in Japan. The Kira family's Akabi cavalry is not a heavy cavalry. The armor on the body is less than 20 kilograms, and the armor on the horse is only more than ten kilograms. However, this miniature version of the Akabei cavalry is a head-on challenge for the Miyoshi family.  A severe blow, if he hadn't been reluctant to suffer a large proportion of battle losses, he could have completely penetrated the main formation of the Mihaoshi family, and maybe there was a chance to kill Mihaoshi Changqing.  Of course, the consequences of this are also very serious. First of all, the exhausted red cavalry will definitely be torn to pieces by the Miyoshi family who rushes madly. The Miyoshi family will definitely fight with their lives against the Kira family, and in the end they will gain something.  It's hard to say whether it was a victory or a disastrous defeat. After all, the military commander of the Miyoshi family was Miyoshi Yoshihide, not Miyoshi Changqing who was in charge of politics and diplomacy.  Kira Yoshitsune meant to train the side soldiers as cavalry reserve soldiers. Eighty Chibei soldiers were killed in the battle and fifteen horseback soldiers were killed in the battle. This loss made him very sad. It would take at least three days to retrain these ninety-five people.  Years of time, during which countless money and efforts were invested to make them loyal and fight for honor. This is not just about being equipped with everything from armor to weapons, but making them loyal to the Kira family from the bottom of their hearts, fighting bravely and having steel-like discipline.  , this invisible loss may exceed 20,000 yuan.  October??, the long-lost Dutch fleet finally came to Sakai Town again. Kira Yoshishi rushed there immediately after receiving the news. In order to arrange this meeting, he also specially requisitioned the Tsuda family's Nanman Commercial Building. For more than a year,  , Nanman Merchant House has also received many Nanman merchants one after another, and the interior decoration of the merchant hall is obviously a higher level than before.  I met Frank Agote again after a year and a half. At this time, he was over 1.5 meters tall and was considered a very handsome boy. When we met again, Frank Agote was already more handsome than last year. Obviously this year  Life was good.  "Oh! My dear friend Joseph, we meet again!" Frank Agote seemed to notice that the young man in front of him was calmer than before, so he took the initiative to walk over and give a bear hug, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a year, Joseph has already  He has turned into a handsome young man, and old Frank¡¯s hair has turned white!¡± ¡°Uncle!¡± The blond girl wore a beautiful floor-length skirt and a gorgeous cloak, with her golden hair combed into wisps of braids.  She also wears a small hat. The only eye-catching thing about her body is the high collar with a circle of lace neck flowers. This is a typical outfit of European aristocratic girls.  "Oh! Beautiful Claudia! What a fate to meet again in a foreign country!" Kira Yoshi walked over and bowed gently, then said with a smile: "Claudia is really getting more and more beautiful.  I can¡¯t imagine how radiant you will be in a few years!¡± ¡°Dear Joseph, please don¡¯t say such disgusting words to a lady, I will feel ashamed!¡± Claudia said with a smile!  A ladylike gift.  Frank Agot shook his head and said: "Our gentlemen and ladies, please take a seat first! After riding on the boat for several months, old Frank's waist can hardly bear it!" "If you are not in a hurry to leave, I can  Let me take you to take a dip in the Kek Lok Si Hot Spring in Hanoi. You must know that taking a hot spring bath in the East is a noble activity! It can relax the mind and recuperate the body. It is the best way to treat Frank¡¯s physical problems!¡± ¡°Hot spring?  Do you have a hot spring here? Oh my god! It's great!" Frank Agot said with a pleased expression, "Then I must try it!" "Uncle!  Claudia seemed helpless and said: "Thank you for your warm hospitality, Joseph!" "Uh, you're welcome, I thought you would refuse!" Kira Yoshihi shrugged and said, "I remember the people on the continent of Europa.  People don¡¯t like to take baths, right?¡± Frank Agote said with a smile: ¡°That¡¯s true, but since the Crusades, bathing has also become something that some nobles love. For example, the beautiful Queen Isabel loves to take baths.  , and the great Charlemagne also liked to soak in the hot springs in Aachen. Speaking of which, I once went to Aachen to look for that hot spring. It is indeed a good place. " "We Protestants will not abide by the rules of the Holy See, the Pope.  We are not allowed to take a shower, so we insist on taking a shower,¡± Claudia said with a pout.  "Uh it looks very complicated." Kira Yoshi was a little dumbfounded. It was a little complicated that this bath could involve history and religion, so he added: "What goods did Frank bring this time? I have already prepared it here.  A lot of precious porcelain and fine raw silk, how about it? Are you satisfied with the goods last time?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and faster! PS: Which country has higher land and stone than Shangyue?  Later? Ume went to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to check the information. Niigata Prefecture is currently the second largest grain base after Hokkaido. The annual grain output is 4 million koku, of which 99% is the planting volume of rice, wheat and soybeans!  Very little! In the late Edo period, the stone height of Echigo was 1.15 million koku, ranking second only to Musashi! This is despite the obvious disadvantage of growing late rice.
