    Sure enough, he was worthy of being a military god. Even though he had just recovered from a serious illness and had not been on the battlefield for more than a year, his momentum was still unstoppable. Kira Yoshitoki was not afraid of his brother-in-law's anger at all. He had his own reasons and was not afraid of Nagao Kagetora's disapproval: "Of course for the sake of Kitano Shinano.  I already owe Hu Ji a lot, and I have disappointed all the ministers by delaying the wedding. I feel very guilty for letting Hu Ji down. If I go out to the field at this time, it¡¯s hard to say what kind of performance I will have, and I have to make Hu Ji wait for a while.  Regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, Nianqie will become a person who breaks his word when he repeatedly postpones my righteousness. Your reputation, brother, will also be damaged. The face of the Konoe family and even the shogunate will also be damaged. At that time, all the heroes in the world should  How do you evaluate me and Torahime? Is this fair to her? " "Yes! You and Torahime's wedding can't be postponed any longer!" A trace of sadness flashed on Nagao Kagetora's determined face.  For more than ten years, it is this younger sister who I owe the most to. She did not enjoy family affection when she was a child. When she grew up, she was restrained and trained by him to become a Ji warrior. She finally got married to Kira Yoshitoki.  If something goes wrong, he, who is supposed to be an elder brother, will be really embarrassed to see his mother Qingyanyuan and his late father.  Thinking of this, Nagao Kagetora's majestic momentum suddenly weakened, a pair of tiger eyes revealed a little bit of memories, and the long silence finally turned into a sigh: "Then I will listen to you, let's put aside the Uesugi family's affairs first, your marriage to Torahime  For the best. " Kira Yoshishi is not in a hurry to go to Kanto for a decisive battle. He is only fourteen years old this year and has a lot of time to deal with the Tiger of Kai and the Lion of Sagami. One of them is running for the fourth year, and the other is already four years old.  The middle-aged uncle who is ten years old has only been in his prime for the past few years.  The older you get, the less likely you are to face a decline in energy.  Last year, the ownership of Hokushinano was decided in the battle of Kawanakajima.  He beat the Takeda family, which was at its peak, to the point of injury.  People with a discerning eye can see who will be the leader of Shinano in the future. When Shinano has just gained an advantage, it is unwise to help Uesugi Kenmasa go to Ueno to avenge Ueno. It is the best way to refuse the wedding.  Okatora wouldn't have any objections, and Uesugi Kenmasa didn't dare to have any objections either.  Time flies so fast, and the entire Kasugayama Castle is busy. Even this year¡¯s spring broadcast was hosted by Tokiyuki Yamamoto.  As the groom's official, he had too many things to do. During this period, he also received a letter from Oda Nobunaga, which was much better than the non-mainstream samurai who killed Matt Noble Fan a few years ago.  In the words of Oda Nobunaga's letter, it is: "Since the death of my master, Nobunaga, I have changed my mind and become a qualified samurai. When I have problems, I often ask Saburo for advice. Please do not begrudge the experience!" Specifically, what he said is:  Only ghosts know how true it is.  However, the death of Hirate Masahide did give him a big blow. It was not easy to change from a stubborn young master to a qualified family governor, but he has been working hard to do it, not long after Hirate Masahide's death.  The Imagawa family launched a tentative attack, and Asahina Taino and Okabe Motobu led an army of three thousand to Owari.  As soon as he started, he attacked Yamaoka Dengoro, a wealthy family in Chongyuan City.  Then they fought all the way to Mizuno Tadashibu Ogawa Castle, and at the same time mobilized the Japanese who had returned to the main castle of the temple. There was a commotion in Owari, and everyone thought that the Imagawa Administrative Department was going to attack Owari. Only Oda Nobunaga took his time.  He prepared the army and went into battle, and also requested a thousand reinforcements from his father-in-law, Saito Michizan, to sit at the Owari border and keep an eye on Oda Nobunaga's back.  And he himself led the 300 iron artillery team, 800 elite ashigaru, and the Oda clan generation 500 national troops to the Owari border, captured Muraki Village in one fell swoop, and encountered the Imagawa army at the foot of Ogawa Castle. The 300 iron artillery pieces  The powerful firepower of the team suddenly came into play, and the Imagawa Army was defeated steadily. Facing the well-organized Oda Army, Asahina Yasuno weighed the pros and cons and decided to retreat immediately.  This battle showed the power of Oda Nobunaga. Although the iron cannons did not kill dozens of people, outsiders did not see it that way. The strength of 1,800 troops defeated the attack of 3,000 troops. No matter how you say it, it is worthy of praise.  Regarding the special book, it is a pity that the most loyal Hirate Masahide died. Oda Nobunaga would never trust those useless retainers, and he wanted to promote his own retainers.  He repeatedly mentioned in the letter that his younger brother Oda Nobuyuki was very favored. His mother and family members all favored Oda Nobuyuki. Sooner or later, those people would instigate Oda Nobuyuki to fall out with him. Now his mother has moved to Suemori  Cheng lived with Oda Nobuyuki, and also mentioned one sentence in particular: "I have made a decision. Even if I kill my brother, I cannot let him destroy the foundation laid by my father!" "Having to break up with his brother so soon? Still  It¡¯s really unexpected!¡± Kira Yoshitsune still remembers such an incident. Familiar historical events seemed to herald the coming of a new era. ¡°This sense of oppression of the coming of a new era really made me breathless.  I'm so angry! But isn't it more fun this way?" After the words and deeds of his big liar brother, Nagao Huji raised the matter of competing with several concubines to a strategic level. Her approach was very unique. She first smiledHe always smiles when he meets everyone, and tries to limit his sword-wielding and spear-wielding time to one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. The rest of the time he is either discussing military strategy with Ii Naotora, or dragging Chiyome Mochizuki to learn cooking from Aju.  Nagao Torahime's cooking talent is so bad that she can't tell the difference between salt and sugar. When she gets busy, she forgets all about the recipe. The food she makes is either too sweet, too salty, or has a weird smell.  Kira Yoshiki swallowed it with tears streaming down his face. Who knew he had to be caught and worked as a food tester? It took him a long time to rinse his mouth to get rid of the strange smell in his mouth. It seemed to be quite hard.  "Hey! I didn't do well this time. I will definitely pay attention next time" Hu Ji blushed and wiped the corner of his mouth for him. He grabbed her small hand with his backhand and tried to break free, but she didn't have the strength, so she could only be beaten by him.  Hold on and don't let go.  Kira Yoshi shyly leaned towards her ear and whispered: "Ahu, are you still angry with me?" "Who who is your Ahu! Don't talk nonsense!" Hu Ji blushed.  She was like a boiling kettle, her cheeks were burning with heat. She struggled again but still couldn't get away, so she was slowly pulled closer to him as if appointed.  The familiar hug and familiar breath reminded him of the young man galloping across the river and sea in the dark night. The girl's heart suddenly softened and she let him hold her in her arms.  The tears that had accumulated for many days couldn't help but flow from my eyes.  Weeping in a low voice: "Do you know how painful it is for me? I feel like I have been deceived! Aju told me that the powerful Wu family always has many concubines. As a head wife, you have to learn to be patient But why doesn't my brother?  Women? Why does my father only have two wives? Why does His Highness have so many women? Don¡¯t you like Hu Ji?¡± After that, the girl burst into tears.  "Silly girl!" Kiragi kept shaking his head, hugging the girl's light body, and said softly: "My good Ahu, don't be like this! My favorite is Ahu! I am facing  The Great Bodhisattva Hachiman has sworn to protect you, Ahu, for the rest of his life! How could I not like you? Even if I die immediately, I will not change my love for you!" "That's what Your Highness said!  Really? Is it true that Ahu is the most rare thing? As long as His Highness says thisAhu feels so happy!" The girl who fell in love was so stupid that she suddenly told her brother that he was "unprepared".  ! "I completely forgot about it.  Ignoring the happy and curious looks of Aku and Chiyo, Kiragi picked up Torahime and strode back to the castle tower.  Completely ignoring the surprised expressions of the maids coming and going, Hu Ji just buried her head in his arms and pretended to be an ostrich. She probably wouldn't be shy if she didn't look at others!  Unfortunately, her face was still blushing uncontrollably.  Numata Sandalwood, who was sitting in the corridor far away, almost turned red with envy. She kept twisting her gold-painted handkerchief with her hands, pacing back and forth until Kira Yoshitsune had gone far away, and then she sat down slumped down, with a sad face covering her white face.  Sighing: "How can I win His Highness's favor? I have tried all the methods taught by my sisterwhy is it still useless? Am I not beautiful? Why does Your Highness still favor that crazy girl? It's so frustrating!" This  The episode did not affect Kira Yoshitoki's character. While the female officials of the Konoe family invited from Kyoto were busy arranging the wedding details, he secretly took Torahime to the castle tower to do interesting things. Torahime was shy.  She curled up in his arms like a docile little sheep.  He closed his eyes and looked like he was being manipulated.  Ji Liangyi gently kissed the girl's thin lips, feeling soft and gentle.  It doesn't have the legendary sweetness, but it tastes more wonderful than honey. The boy and the girl carefully play small pre-marriage games, kissing and touching. Only at this time can they appreciate the beauty.  Hu Ji: "Your Highness is a person who does great things, so Hu Ji will not stop His Highness Hu Ji does not want to be an unvirtuous wife, but His Highness promises Hu Ji that he will always like Hu Ji the most, okay?" "Okay?"  ! How about I swear! The Great Bodhisattva Hachiman" "Don't say it!" Hu Ji covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's good that Your Highness has this intention. Hu Ji is very happy now and doesn't need the big Buddha.  "The Bodhisattva will take care of us." "This winter seems to be extremely long, and it is five or six degrees colder than before. The endless heavy snow falls intermittently from the beginning of winter to the end of the first month, and there is still less than half of the snow that has melted before the spring planting.  Taking advantage of the opportunity to lay some farmland fallow before winter, turn over all the soil, and then soak it with cold snow water to kill the locust eggs in the soil.  The areas where this method is applicable are concentrated in the hills near Uonuma County. This county is surrounded by mountains and peaks. Half of the snow in Echigo is piled there. The mountains and the snow are also there.  Numerous rivers nourish Echigo. After several years of pioneering and planting, hundreds of towns and new fields in Uonuma County have gradually expanded into large grape plantations.  Wine making is very simple,??It can be fermented even if it requires koji. As long as there is enough sugar and grapes, wine can be made. But the biggest question is where does the sugar come from?  The sugar industry has always been an important financial source for various countries. Even if sugarcane is not strictly controlled, it cannot be grown in most areas of Japan. It is a cash crop that likes high temperatures and light and prefers heavy rainfall. Only Satsuma  The country can barely meet this standard.  It was possible to cultivate white sugar from sugar beets, but that was hundreds of years later. With the industrial technology that is still in its primitive stage, it is completely impossible to extract white sugar from sugar beets. The most traditional breeding methods can only be used slowly and slowly.  Slow grafting cultivates sugar beets with high sugar production. Fortunately, the roots and leaves of the vegetable genius can be eaten as vegetables. It only uses little land for experimental planting.  Time is like a trickle, and in the blink of an eye, it comes to the spring of 1555. It has been two full years since Shimo Echigo. The development of Echigo Nitta is gradually on the right track. This time, 5,000 machibu Nitta was developed in one go.  When a rice seedling is inserted into a paddy field.  The smiles of the farmers are so pure and sincere.  They performed Echigo's folk songs with strange rhythms.  Probably praying for a good harvest this year.  The Takeda family didn't have any accidents. They only had seeds from new crops. They didn't know how to plant them and what were the taboos. They didn't know the functions of compost and fertilizer, and they didn't know what pollinators did. Sprinkling the seeds on the ground was just like planting seeds.  The rice is treated the same, and the result is that the harvest of grain in a year is only more than one stone at best, and not even half a stone at worst.  Farmers and land servants were deceived to death, and they all complained that this kind of seed was fake.  After various investigations by the Takeda family, it was discovered that many samurai families in Kanto secretly planted new grains and had similar situations one after another. The output of new grains was reduced on a large scale. The common response was that the plants were short and weak, and what was even more frightening was that the plants had been planted  The land has become very barren. The upper fields have become middle fields, and the middle fields have become lower fields. The lower fields will no longer be able to grow food within three to five years. The invisible economic losses are difficult to estimate.  ??If this trial is only a small-scale trial, the impact will not be great.  The big trouble that comes with potatoes is compounded by farmers who know the correct way to store potatoes.  Stacking potatoes directly in your house brings new changes after surviving a not-so-cold winter.  March is the time when spring flowers are blooming. These potatoes begin to sprout one after another and emit terrible toxins. Unknown to the ground servants and farmers, they take out the potatoes that have been stored for the whole winter and sprout new sprouts and eat them. Then they frequently suffer from vomiting.  , diarrhea and other mild symptoms, at this time they thought it was a bad stomach and didn't care.  As the temperature gradually rises, Kai sows spring seeds earlier than Echigo. Many field servants and farmers choose to eat the leftover potatoes. This is not a simple matter of eating up the stomach. The entire Kai and Minami Shinano  A large number of people fell ill or even died. Symptoms mainly include elevated body temperature, repeated vomiting, severe dehydration, photophobia, dilated pupils, twitching of limbs, and difficulty breathing. Kai's doctors were scratching their heads about this emergency and could only look at it.  Each patient died quickly.  Hundreds of people died in just one month, and nearly a thousand people suffered from minor or serious illnesses. As for those who thought they were suffering from bad stomachs, it was impossible to count. The first reaction of the local servants and farmers was, "Eating new grain seeds will kill people!", next  One reaction was, "It must be a conspiracy created by Echigo!" As a result, the castle of Okuma Asahide and Jo Masazu was almost attacked by the angry samurai and farmers. The two urgently asked for help from the Takeda family while holding the castle tightly. A few days later  An envoy from the Takeda family arrived and took the two of them and the representatives of the land attendants to the Uzaki Hall to listen to their opinions.  The big bear touched Chao Xiu with his head on the ground and said with tears: "My lord! I have been growing these potatoes in Echigo for two years! But I have never heard of people being poisoned to death! If you don't believe me, you can go and find out if what Chao Xiu said is true.  Fake! I am loyal to my lord, and I have absolutely no intention of harming you! " "Then how did our samurai from Kai and Shinano die? "Could it be that they were cursed to death?  A young Kai samurai glanced at the two samurai who kept avenging their grievances with disdain, and cursed: "Damn Echigo people! Why don't you die in Echigo? Why did you come to us Kai to do this!" "Shut up!" Takeda Harunobu  After a few claps and a few drinks, the warriors on Koshin's side stopped cursing, and said with a gloomy look: "The matter has not yet been decided, and it is not appropriate to make a decision too early. Bizen Shou and Oribu Yu are tired from coming all the way, so let's stay in the building for a while.  Let's rest for a few days and then make a decision. " "Yes!" The two stood up and left silently, their figures looking infinitely lonely.  "It would be great if Mr. Shirokumon Zen is still here" This thought stayed in Takeda Harunobu's mind for half a second and then disappeared. Kira Yoshitoki and the Kira family are now taboo topics in Kai, including himself.  I am willing to mention that embarrassing past. It takes time to heal the pain, but the dead samurai cannot be resurrected. In any case, it is an indisputable fact that the Takeda family's vitality is severely damaged.    After a long silence, Takeda Harunobu said expressionlessly: "Have you found any signs of the two people's activities? Have the two of them come into contact with strangers, samurai with Echigo accents, or anything suspicious recently?" "No abnormal behavior was found!  "Torupo leader Iitojirobei said: "Apart from daily patrols and inspections of weapons, these two people have not come out of the city. There is no suspicious thing in the news in the city. " "That is strange Could it be.  Death? It doesn't look like it!" Komai Masatake frowned and thought. He would not believe that the Kira family could control these two people. Together, they were like unstoppable flames. Now these two people have no place in Echigo.  .  The only plan for now is to follow the Takeda family to the dark side.  Where will there be death time?  Iitomi Homasa glanced at Iitomi Jirobei.  He questioned: "Then why haven't their relatives been found?" "Okuma Asahiu brought his younger brother to join the family!" Nagasaka Mitsuken helped: "Their relatives may have been sold to the Echigo samurai family as slaves.  Maybe." "Then how did they" "Okay, stop it! Last year, the Hojo family got a large number of fine seeds from somewhere. Let's wait and see what the Hojo family's reaction will be." Takeda Harunobu coughed twice and stood up.  go.  Half a month later, similar symptoms also appeared in some counties of Musashi and Sagami in Kanto. The Hojo family acted much faster than the Takeda family and immediately treated any abnormality. Although there were also serious cases in which dozens of people died of the disease, it was worse than others.  Kai-Shinano is short of medical treatment and has a lot of strength.  Envoys from Kai and Sagami traveled frequently and determined that potatoes were a very dangerous food.  Before its pharmacological effects could not be determined, it was not suitable to continue planting for the time being, so all the potatoes planted in the land were pulled up. Potatoes were listed as new foods that were prohibited from planting. No problems were found with pumpkins and corns for the time being, but military families from various places also had concerns about the new foods.  A sense of distrust.  Many people believe that they are extremely evil things brought to the world by evil spirits from hell. It is said that the Kira family got them from the evil ghost country in the far west. Some people also say that they have seen red-haired and green-eyed evil spirits with Kira in Naoetsu.  The families came together, so the rumor spread more and more widely, until the Hojo family and the Takeda family realized the seriousness of the situation.  Huge economic losses have been caused.  Not only potatoes were uprooted, but all new grains including corn and pumpkins were eradicated by farmers and farmers.  When the master came to scold them, the servants confidently stated that they were evil spirits and wanted to kill them.  Therefore, they would rather delay the farming season and re-sow seeds than be killed and there is nothing they can do about it. No one can calculate the exact amount of losses this time.  Later, another rumor spread quickly. This red-haired and green-eyed monster was called a Nanman. It belonged to an uncivilized race that lived on eating flesh and blood. This kind of god had been cursed by evil spirits, and could only be sent to Echigo to ask the eminent monk for help.  For enlightenment, the great monks from Kyoto, Toraya S¨­gai and Asayama Nichijo, gave enlightenment. Therefore, Echigo's divine seeds can be highly productive and non-toxic. Without Echigo, these divine seeds are either poisonous or have reduced yields, because of the lack of eminent monks.  Enlightenment.  You can tell that such a bizarre rumor came from Echigo at a glance, but even with such a powerful rumor, those superstitious local servants and farmers still chose to follow this trick. The eminent monks in Kyoto would instill divine seeds every day to destroy evil spirits.  Curse, this is a great good thing with immeasurable merit!  Soon the land servants and farmers in Kanto and Koshinobu really felt envious of Echigo.  Some martial artists began to suggest that local monks should be invited to initiate the initiation. As a result, countless ritual meetings were held. The poisonous potatoes were still poisonous no matter how they were initiated. Eating even a small amount would cause vomiting and diarrhea for several days, which made those fools  The "eminent monk" who was eating and drinking was so embarrassed that he could only hide his face and escape from the land of right and wrong in Kanto.  As for the regular big temples, they would not accept such a small order at all. After the Yamabushi of Yehu Zen failed, they would not dare to accept such an order. Therefore, some unwilling samurai went around to inquire about Echigo's information, and even went to Echigo in person.  Later, I went to see if it was so magical there, and the samurai who had been there were all amazed when they came back, which further deepened the yearning for Echigo among many people.  The Hojo family immediately stopped when they saw that the limelight was not right. Everyone envied Echigo if the commotion continued. How could the samurai family in Kanto still mess around? Then they brought out the earliest rumors of evil spirits and stirred them up, although they were strongly criticized by some farmers in the countryside.  He objected, but at least the right to public opinion was regained, and the rumors of envy of Echigo gradually ceased.  All of this was an action planned and implemented by Monomichi Hattori, and it was also one of several plans to incite Kanto and Koshinobu. After these plans were handed over to Kiragi Toki, he only reviewed them once before approving them for execution. All aspects of the entire operation were  It doesn't have much to do with Yoshitoki Kira, and being slandered by rumors about Kanto is just a shame.  In early March, envoys from the imperial court and the shogunate arrived in advance. The envoys sent by the two major authoritative organizations all had one characteristic, that is, they were seniorAn old diplomat, the envoy of the imperial court is Yamashina Yantsugi, and the envoy of the shogunate is Odate Harimitsu. These two are not ordinary people. The former has contributed a lot to raising funds for the court all the year round to support the emperor and officials, and the latter's family is the Ashikaga Shogun.  Traveling home and abroad to raise funds to support the general and the shogunate to serve the public also played an important role.  Needless to say, when the two diplomats arrived, they were showered with congratulations and praises as if they were free of charge. Afterwards, the two of them secretly pulled Kiragi along and murmured a few words in a low voice, showing a "you know what" expression.  Yamashina Yantsugi's message was the imperial court's wish for an official appointment. The imperial court had long wanted to give Kira Yoshitoki an official title. Unfortunately, Kira Yoshitoki was too young and would be promoted too quickly, which was against the rules and would easily lead to taboos. But things are different now.  Well, Yuanfu is considered a "coming of age ceremony", and getting married is the real "coming of age". However, this age is still too young to advance in rank.  However, some other officials can be added to the four main positions. This is allowed by the imperial court. Yamashina Yantsugi means that as long as it is not excessive, he can give it, which is equivalent to letting Kira Yoshiki choose. This gift is not unreasonable.  rich.  In comparison, the shogunate was much shabby. The message brought by Odate Seiko was guarded by Shinano. On the basis of allowing the issuance of a "letter", Kira Yoshihiro was allowed to issue an "Order for the Expedition of the East Kingdom". In theory, there are three hurdles  Edom all belongs to the Eastern Kingdom, so Echigo, Shinano, and the Ten Kingdoms of Kanto are included.  This name is not considered tasteless, but its good reputation is actually far less effective than imagined. The protection of Shinano is completely following the trend, but the shogunate's doing this is tantamount to abandoning Ogasawara Nagatoki. I don't know what this person's expression will be like knowing that he has been abandoned.  .  On March 6th, Konoe's descendants came to Echigo together with his wife Ashikaga Katsuhime, Kuga Harumichi, Kikutei Haruki, Nakain Tsugei, Kanshuji Haruhide, Nakain Tongmin and his wife Kuga Yoshiki.  For the wedding ceremony, ministers such as Nijo Haruy¨­, Saionji K¨­cho, Tokudaiji K¨­vi and others who could not come in person also sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts.  Konoe's predecessor now occupies a minister of the Kanbazu left and an elder of the Fuji family, which has a great impact on the "inner view". Konoe's uncle Kuga Harumichi is of sufficient age and status, and he is the two great ministers, Nagon and Ukon.  General Wei has also been very active in the past two years, and it is said that he will be promoted to minister soon.  The performance of Kira Yoshi's uncle, Nakayuan Tongwei, was also very eye-catching. The two great ministers, Nayan, were also high-ranking officials, but it was not enough for him to be promoted to minister.  His legitimate son, Zhongyuan Tongmin, is now nineteen years old. Last year, he added four senior senators and became an authentic senator, Zuo Lieutenant General. Although he was not promoted at the beginning of this year, the court has already blown the wind. It is expected that at the end of the year, he will be promoted to ministers.  There will be his name.  This means that being promoted to the third rank before the age of twenty is definitely the fastest promotion record in the minister's family in the past century, almost as fast as the promotion speed of the Tsinghua family.  After not seeing each other for a few years, Ashikaga Katsuhime has grown a lot taller. Now she is also a fourteen-year-old girl. Several years of marriage have also made her temperament quieter and gentler. But when she looks at the bride, she still doesn't let go.  When I was teasing Kiragi, I took the opportunity to tell the embarrassing and interesting stories from childhood to adulthood.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
