"Shut up! This is not a charity, let alone a gift. It is for the rescue of the victims. Did you bear the rations and treat the wounded?" Nagao Kagetora laughed angrily, shaking his head and scolding: "Don't do it to me. When the Nagao family mentioned that they are nobles from Kyoto, Takeido is the sister-in-law of my Nagao family, not an outsider!" When he heard about the Nagao family's sister-in-law, Honjo Shigenaga became even more excited. He twisted his neck and shouted loudly: "My lord! ! Then I am even more dissatisfied! Why should I, the princess of the Nagao family, marry the samurai family of Kyoto? Isn¡¯t it possible that none of the noble men in Echigo¡¯s seven counties are worthy of Princess Torahime? " "That's right! I have so many sons in the seven counties of Echigo that I can't choose an excellent samurai who is suitable for Princess Torahime." "We all love Princess Torahime!" "Yes! Princess Torahime is our samurai. The most beautiful woman in our minds, with long and powerful hair, she is simply a role model for our warriors! " "Bah, bah! Don't talk nonsense! She is obviously beautiful and cute, and her long black hair makes people excited. If I can marry Princess Torahime, hehehe" "Looking at your crooked appearance, you still want to marry Princess Torahime? You should marry a handsome man like me, Nanosuke!" "What are you talking about? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?" "Come on! Who's afraid of whom? Shorty!" Echigo's curses in dialect aroused the laughter of a group of samurai. Their unscrupulous behavior naturally caused the Kira family to laugh. There was dissatisfaction from top to bottom, and many Kira family samurai who looked down on the Echigo countrymen could no longer endure it. "Shut up, everyone! You contradicted the famous shogunate and roared at the evaluation meeting! Arrest all those who were laughing, scolding and playing around! Tie them to a tree and let them reflect!" With an order, hundreds of Nagao family's Hatamoto warriors were like wolves. The tiger rushed over and knocked down all those who dared to resist, including Hojo Takahiro and Honjo Shigenaga, who did not escape. "Lord, I don't accept it! I don't accept it!" They were still shouting, making the remaining Echigo samurai sigh. Only then did Kira Yoshi put away the bat fan, stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, let's continue with the evaluation meeting! What is the next topic?" Unlike the noisy Kasugayama Castle Tower, it is only two and a half towns apart. , in the building about 270 meters away, it was still quiet and peaceful. Three girls were sitting side by side under the verandah. The girl in white on the left, Nagao Torahime, turned to the side and asked: "It's so boring, sister Aju. , let¡¯s go for a walk?¡± ¡°But Your Highness won¡¯t let us out!¡± Aju shook her head gently, picked up the teapot, filled a cup of tea and handed it to her. The stupid lolita on the right raised her little hand and shouted: "Chiyoda wants a cup too!" "Okay, okay! Here it is for you!" Aju poured another cup and handed it over with a smile. The two little lolita were busy sipping tea. The appearance made Aju very satisfied. "Oh! It tastes so good! This kind of sencha is much better than that weird-tasting matcha! It's refreshing and elegant, and it's great!" Nagao Torahime still said stubbornly: "I don't want to listen to that bastard How about just walking around Naoetsu? Torahime heard that there is a new settlement there and there are many injured homeless people. Can we go and see them with food and old clothes? " "Chiyome" I want to go too!¡± The two lolita stared at her with big eyes, which made Aju hesitate, and then said after thinking: ¡°It should be okay! We just need to get back to the warrior before we can go out!¡± "No need! Torahime has her own bodyguards! All of them are warriors!" Long-tailed Torahime proudly showed off: "Although there are only twenty of us at the moment, each of us is a master of bow and horse. Even if I fight with needles, I won¡¯t be afraid of those men!¡±¡ Nagao Kagetora raised his head with a cup of sake and drank it. The sudden needle-like headache that just hit him was relieved, he rubbed his temples and said with a frown. : "The territorial dispute between Nakajo Echizen Marshal and Kurokawa Shimono Marshal of the same clan is over! The two families must divide their respective disputed territories according to the ruling!" "Yes!" Nakajo Fujishi looked very satisfied. Of course, Kurokawa Moromi was not very happy, but he could not contradict Nagao Kagetora in any case, so he leaned down and said, "We must obey the Lord's decision!" The family is a commoner, and Kurokawa Moromi's great-grandfather's mother was the daughter of the Nakajo family. Logically speaking, they should be very close to the same clan. However, these two families have been quarreling over territory since the 20th year of Astronomy. The two families were at odds with each other, almost to the point where they treated each other as enemies. In the end, Nagao Kagetora's mentor Amuro Mitsuyu went back and forth to mediate between the two families. The reason why we reluctantly reached peace this time was because of the master¡¯s face.?Otherwise, Kurokawa Moromi would definitely not give up, because this ruling was obviously in favor of Nakajo Fujitsu. The largest two of the three farmlands were occupied by Nakajo Fujitsu, and he only ended up with the smallest one. , thinking of this, Kurokawa Moromi couldn't help but glared at Jojo Fuji with resentment. "Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Daxiong Chaoxiu stood up and walked out of the crowd, and said loudly: "The dispute over the territory of Tsumaori Township in Uonuma County arose due to the ownership of the Five Rebels' land in the farm. After my investigation, it was found that as early as This property has been owned by the Shimohira family forty years ago. According to the lord's strict order, each family is not allowed to encroach on other people's territory from the day the lord enters Kasugayama Castle. The previous dispute has been terminated, so I think it is reasonable for Shimohira to repair it. " " I have something to say!" I stood up proudly, strode out of the queue, knelt down and said, "I believe that my lord treats the people of the country with kindness and should handle land disputes with fairness. This land is divided into two halves. Wouldn't it be more beautiful if each family takes one? Later, the leader of the Uesugi family faction believed that he should serve as the chief minister of the Nagao family, so he was very wary of Honjo Mino's actions. Honjo Minoru caught a glimpse of Ueno Ienari's anxious expression and Nagao Masaki's concerned eyes, and immediately said: "Since it is a just decision, the will of the disputers on both sides should be fully taken into account. The Lord has just made the decision between Echizen Shuden and Shimono Shuden." The disputes between the two parties are also decided by the method of taking one's own approach. What's more, this land was indeed the territory of the Ueno family forty years ago. Could it be that once the Shimotaira family occupied it, it became their own? " This piece of land has little to do with Honjo Minoru, but because it concerns Nagao Kagetora and Nagao Masakaage of the Nagao family, the leader of the Ueda clan, he has to stand up to fight against it. Among the seven counties of Echigo, Ueda The territory of the Nagao family is mainly in Uonuma County, and there is a samurai group in Uonuma County that is not inferior to the Yangbei clan, united around the Ueda Nagao family, and their name is the Ueda clan. Since the farce-like rebellion ended three years ago, Nagao Masakage has officially submitted to the master of Kasugayama Castle, and has become a close minister at the feet of Nagao Kagetora. However, no one will underestimate this powerful samurai family, the foundation of the Ueda clan. Without damage, and with the kinship bond of Princess Aya, Nagao Kagetora cannot do anything to harm the Ueda Nagao family. Honjo Minoru's move is to help Nagao Kagetora win over the Nagao family of Ueda. If this matter is handled properly, the Ueda family can be perfectly integrated into the larger framework of the Nagao family, which will help Nagao Kagetora rule the seven counties of Echigo. This is also one of the secret agreements he reached with Nagao Masaki. And Ueno Ienari happened to be a member of the Ueda family, and he was also a member of the Hatamoto family who took the initiative to join Nagao Kagetora. He was one of those big light bulbs illuminated by two factions, while Shimohira Yoshinaga belonged to one of the Echigo-Uesugi faction. In the past, He is a retainer of Uesugi Sadami, there is no comparison between the two. Originally, the Ueda clan and the Echigo-Uesugi faction were allies. It was only when Nagao Masaki set off a rebellion three years ago that the Echigo-Uesugi faction decisively abandoned this powerful ally and defected to Nagao Kagetora. Only then did they overpower Nagao in the ensuing war. The political scene suffered a huge defeat, even a very cowardly defeat. Since then, Nagao Masaki and the Ueda people have hated this gang of treacherous villains. Therefore, in this land dispute, Nagao Masaki wanted to make the Echigo Uesugi faction lose face. Therefore, after this incident, many people He quickly joined forces with Honjo Shino, who won support from public opinion, while he was responsible for military deterrence. The leader of the Echigo-Uesugi faction, Ohkuma Chaohide, will naturally not support Ueno Ienari's land appeal. He must protect the interests of Shimohira Ryouyoshinaga. This is related to his prestige and status within the Echigo-Uesugi faction, so this time Collisions are bound to happen. "No! What I said to Meisaku Shougou is wrong. If the Shimohira family occupied these fields after the Lord's strict order, I, Chao Xiu, would definitely judge it as unreasonable. This is the way we should deal with it justly. As for Meisaku Shougou Talking about the old things from decades ago Tell me, where did our land come from? Didn¡¯t it come from the manors of the imperial court and temples in Kyoto? Do we need to return our land to the nobles in Kyoto? When he said this, Daxiong Zhaoxiu glanced at Kiragi intentionally or unintentionally, which caused a burst of laughter from the people of Echigo. "Hmph! I think Bizen Mamoru may not be sincere in what he said!" Honjo Minoru was keenly aware that Nagao Kagetora on the main seat was unhappy, but he couldn't see Kiragi's attitude clearly. When the group of Mikawa samurai saw it, They seemed very upright, and looked aggrieved when faced with Daxiong Chaoxiu's unwarranted hints. Fortunately, they were more restrained this time and did not jump up again. "Whether the ruling is fair or not depends entirely on the arbitrariness of the lord Gan Gang. As ministers, we only have the right to make suggestions and cannot make decisions on our behalf. The dispute over the territory of the samurai family is different from hundreds of years ago and cannot be compared with it. The wife of Uonuma County has a village, but There is UenoThere are two lords in Xiaping. The two families are involved in land disputes. They should first be judged in a fair manner. You must not act arbitrarily and make perverse actions in the name of the lord! " "What? Am I acting arbitrarily and rebelliously? "Daxiong Chaoxiu was furious and said loudly: "The land of the Shimohira family is legal. In the past forty years, I have never heard of the Ueno family asking for territorial rights. Why do you only think of complaining about land disputes now? Is there no problem in this? " "Bizen Mamoru's words are over. Naoe Mitsuna interjected: "There is justice in claiming territory. Everyone must know the reason. I think Meisakuden is right. It is better for each party to take half!" " Daxiong Chaoxiu immediately refused: "No! This request is unreasonable. The land of the Shimoheira family has been cultivated for two generations. It is a good piece of land, but it was taken away by a few people with just one sentence. If the Ueno family starts a lawsuit in the future, should all the land of the Shimoheira family be taken away? This is absolutely uncompromising! "(To be continued.)
