Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The three meals a day system implemented by the Kira family was echoed to a certain extent by the Echigo samurai family. Kasugayama Castle was the first to provide three meals a day. The samurai of the Nagao family gradually became accustomed to this kind of life.  After the very public lunch, Kira Yoshito followed Nagao Kagetora to the castle tower for a secret talk.  There is a quiet room in the castle tower, which was originally a place where Nagao Kagetora daily meditated and practiced Buddhism. Nowadays, there is no distinction between a quiet room and a quiet room when returning to nature. It has gradually become a small tea room for drinking tea and talking. There is no traditional tea ceremony that is popular today.  With so much complexity, boiling tea paired with a good purple clay pot is absolutely a wonderful thing.  A plate of incense was burning in the room to soothe the mind. In the corner of the room were several books that he loved to read. The top one was the famous "Tu Ran Cao", which reminded him that his brother was also a talented writer.  Wu's intellectuals, proficient in Buddhism and singing, seemed to seek spiritual comfort from the unpredictable fate in the book.  The two of them enjoyed tea quietly. They picked up a cup of strong tea and looked at the green tea leaves floating quietly in the white steaming hot water. In their hearts, the warm and humid Suruga country also produces green tea. They have been abstaining from it for many years this year.  Alcohol therapy also allowed him to develop the habit of drinking tea.  "Chrysanthemums, jasmine, sweet-scented osmanthus, roses, plum blossoms, orchids, gardenias, and sweet-scented osmanthus can all be used to make scented tea. When the spring comes, I will let the maids smell the scented tea, and then invite my brother to taste the top-grade scented tea from the Ming Dynasty.  "Nagao Kagetora didn't respond, but turned to another topic: "What do you think of Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru's purpose? He is the guardian of Shinano, and he has been working hard to restore Shinano to Shinano in the past few years.  As a direct descendant of the Shinano Genji and an enemy of the Takeda family, why didn't you choose to support Shinano Mamoru to regain the old territory? "Why should you support him?" Kira Yoshishi smiled.  Eyes open.  The two sword eyebrows frowned slightly, emphasizing his identity: "Why do you support him? He is the guardian of Shinano appointed by the shogunate. He was driven out of his territory by the Takeda family. As a famous general of the shogunate, you should support him.  "Yes!" "I understand what my brother means. The appointment by the shogunate did not deprive him of his guardianship, so I must protect his rights from infringement. Is that what you mean?" Kira Yoshitoki is already used to Nagao Kagetora's temper.  Anyway, he is definitely the son-in-law of the Nagao family. This Echigo military god is a person who cares about family ties very much, and he is not afraid of the suppression of his eyes at all.  "Yes! That's it." Nagao Kagetora's tone was firm and his expression was serious, as if he was thinking about such a heavy question as "Why should people live?"  "Then, brother, have you ever thought about why he should let others support him in regaining his old territory? It should be noted that the justice of the world is that there is reward only if you pay. The Ogasawara clan lost its territory, lost the guardian of Shinano, and lost the dignity of the famous family. It was not because of us.  He has to work hard to restore his territory, guardianship and reputation! No one can replace him in this regard. Supporting him to seize the family territory can only be regarded as supporting a puppet. Is this Shinano Mamoru prepared to be a puppet?  "Why is he a puppet? He can fight with his own hands, just like you and I have fought!" Nagao Kagetora disagreed with this statement and directly used their own experience as an example.  "The question is, can he hold on? Murakami Habayashi Nakaro's military strategy is extraordinary, and he twice defeated Takeda Harunobu, the famous general of the previous generation. But even so, he failed to hold on to his own foundation. He has not set foot on the plains for four years since the burning of Kuzuo Castle.  Taking the lead, if it weren¡¯t for my brother¡¯s proper arrangements and I was defeated by Yoshiki in Kawanakajima last year, would Habayashi-den be able to regain the original territory so smoothly?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Nagao Kagetora remained silent, Murakami Yoshikiyo said.  Of course he knows how many abilities he has. It is definitely not an exaggeration to call him the number one general in Shinano. If it weren't for the genius Yukitaka Sanada and the betrayal of a group of Murakami family who deceived their teammates, the Takeda family would have defeated the alliance of the wealthy Northern Shinano family and captured Northern Shinano in one fell swoop.  Concentration is simply a fantasy.  "The world is changing, and so are people's hearts! I felt this very clearly in Kyoto! Just imagine, fifty years ago, which samurai family would dare to bully the shogunate? How many famous samurai families have been suppressed? But  Even today, people like Miyoshi dare to ride wild on the shogunate, and there are countless samurai who are under control. Why is this? Because people's hearts have changed! " Kira Yoshi didn't pay attention to his expression. If you look closely, you will find that he has a lot of trouble.  The corners of Okagetora's mouth twitched slightly. His father, Nagao Mikake, was the one who conquered the country by defeating his superiors. This was also the reason why he had always been taboo about defeating his superiors since he was a child, but no matter how tabooed he was, this fact could not be avoided.  "Now that there is chaos in Kantung, Lord Furukawa has lost his power, the governor of Kantš­ has lost his power, and the evil winds are blowing, what I want to do is not to restore power to the Ogasawara clan, but to support the great cause of the shogunate and maintain the backbone of the Kanto samurai family!  "How do you plan to maintain the backbone of the Kanto Warrior Family?"Down?  " Kira Yoshishi answered the question: "What Ogasawara-don wants is nothing more than to restore the territory. If he can understand his situation, he will know what to do.  "    "never mind!  You're thinking differently than I'm thinking.  "Nagao Kagetora shook his head and did not intend to continue the debate, and turned to care about his life: "Go back and comfort Torahime. She is not ready to accept three side chambers at once. In this regard, Yoshitoki's arrangement is really not good.  appropriate!  "    "yes!  This mistake is indeed inappropriate, and I will try my best to correct it.  "It's still hard to take the blame, even if he claims to be extremely intelligent. Just like the emperor is urged by his ministers to get married and give birth to a prince as soon as possible, it is best to marry more concubines and give birth to a bunch of princes, while at the same time  There are many such contradictory and double-standard advices that require the emperor to be diligent and not to be in a maze. It is impossible for the person in power in any era to have all the power. You cannot decide how many pieces of beef are in the dish you eat tonight.  , no matter how much fish soup, it is also impossible for you to completely control the actions of retainers, ministers, nobles or subordinates with similar titles, such as Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and other wise and powerful people, as well as Li Si, Zhao Gao, Master Yan Li Guang  As a profiteer, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, also had to face a wave of rebellion in his later years. Taizu of the Song Dynasty was even more tragically killed by the sound of a candle shadow. How to grasp the connections of retainers has always been a question for rulers. I have heard of imperial power.  I have seen people use it, such as the conflict between different opinions, but that thing cannot be transferred to the Japanese samurai society. A certain monkey supported the Bunji faction and the arbitrary faction to fight among themselves, and finally the two sides fought with real fire to get Sekigahara out.  Japan's feudal system established the identity of retainers as lords. They had land, food, their own armed forces, and financial and taxation rights. They shouldered the lord's obligations and retained their title.  The rights of ministers, this makes the two parties no longer a simple monarch and ministers, but a more complex contractual cooperation relationship. The Kira family has entered into an unorthodox feudal samurai family system. The direct retainers are all full-fledged samurai families, and they do not have any knowledge of the land.  , but they enjoy the high pension for generations, and these retainers are the backbone of the Kira family's armed forces. According to Kira Yoshitoki's explanation, this is called the hatamoto genedai retainers, and the generation of vassals enjoyed by them is called the flag.  For example, Nitta near Sekikawa is nominally the banner of the Kira family. Even if it has a comprehensive advantage in land knowledge and behavior, Kira Yoshitoki must still worry about the attitude of the family retainers. Just like all samurai families in the Warring States Period, the family has the responsibility.  The influence of family connections and personal relationships are very fearful of the family governor. Many families are either involved in riots or have too much influence on the family. The Kira retainers group is an important part of the Kira family.  While trying to strengthen the centralization of power, he also had to ensure, promise, and appease the emotions of the retainers, and work hard to deepen the bond between the two parties to ensure that his will could be accepted by the retainers. Of course, he must accept the strong wishes of the retainers.  This is a game between each other, just like the emperors of the Ming Dynasty usually accepted the collective will of the cabinet. The battle of Kawanakajima last year still caused great losses to the Kira and Nagao families, and the five Kira families.  More than 1,500 people went out to battle, and as a result, more than 600 people were killed, more than 300 people were seriously injured, and a total of 1,800 people suffered minor injuries. The main ones were Hojo Takahiro, Honjo Shigenaga, and Kurokawa Kiyomizu who participated for the first time.  The Kira Army is not yet familiar with combat, and there are often errors in the coordination between the two sides. When the Kira Army starts to move, they cannot keep up with the rhythm, causing the overall formation to deviate. They have not learned the coordination of simple drum beats, bull horns, and flags, and they cannot tell the difference.  Understand the difference between feint and main attack, causing many jokes and costing many lives.  The victory of this war gave many people the opportunity to learn lessons, including Saito Asanobu, Kakizaki Keie and others. When they approached Kira Yoshi, they wanted to cooperate with the training. However, seeing that the Kira family was completely out of work as a samurai, they gave up on high-intensity and high-volume training.  , I sighed in my heart that no wonder the Kira army had the physical strength to fight for a whole day. The Nagao family, the Takeda family on the opposite side, and the Shinano people on both sides could only rely on their will to support themselves.  Another thing is that Ao was adopted and settled. Nagao Ao didn't know her identity yet. She always thought that she was an orphan and was arranged to be a personal maid for Hu Ji. She didn't want to think that she was so stupid and often made mistakes.  She almost brought Torahime into a ditch, but she was forgiven in the end for some reason. Without the halo of Sanjou Nagao's only child, she would have been kicked out of Kasugayama Castle a long time ago.  The little girl who knew her identity cried and laughed, almost making Torahime think that her head was broken. In the end, she was arranged to receive etiquette training by Nagao Kagetora. Her wedding would be postponed to the second half of the year. After all, Nagao Kagetora's wedding was approaching.  He didn't have time to think about her problem.  The rewards for this war also set a new record. Property worth fifteen thousand Yongle coins was distributed to all parties participating in the war. On average, each warrior receivedThe amount of money ranged from ten to dozens of guans, and the peasants and soldiers also received income ranging from half a guan to a guan. This money was regarded as a reward for participating in the war. At the same time, the rice grain, gold and silver, weapons and equipment awarded were equivalent to about 20,000 guan.  Mainly for several martial arts masters who have determined their merits, including Saito Asanobu, Honjo Mino, Nakajo Fujishi, Amakasu Kagemochi, Irobe Katsunaga, Kachi Harutsuna, Yasuda Keimoto, Arakawa Nagami, etc.  The meritorious samurai, without them gritting their teeth and holding back most of the main force of the Takeda Army, would not have been able to sustain the rhythm of the counterattack in the afternoon.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
