    Just after the New Year, bad news came to the Imagawa family. It was that the backbone of the Imagawa family, the mentor of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the assistant to the government, Taihara Yukisai, died suddenly of illness. It was said that the old man passed away peacefully, and he had participated in the New Year the day before.  During the banquet, I happily composed a few Japanese songs to praise spring. However, when I opened the door the next day, I found that the old man had passed away suddenly.  Taiyuan Xuezai's sudden death from illness dealt a heavy blow to Imagawa Yoshimoto and even the entire Imagawa family. All the arrangements of the Imagawa family needed to be overthrown and restarted. Only then did Imagawa Yoshimoto realize how much the Imagawa family relied on this teacher.  Losing Taiyuan Xuezhai will bring much harm to the Imagawa family.  In terms of military affairs, Taiyuan Xuezai is fully responsible for the formation. Diplomatically, Taiyuan Xuezai is the chief executive responsible for promoting the peace of the Kaso Shun Alliance. In terms of government affairs, he assists Imagawa Yoshimoto in improving and promoting various implementations. This assistant politician is always there.  The role of the Imagawa family far exceeds that of Tokiyuki Yamamoto of the Kira family, and the impact of his departure on the Imagawa family cannot be eliminated in the short term.  For this reason, Imagawa Yoshimoto had to give up his plan to attack Owari, and instead majored in internal affairs to appease his retainers and people, maintain the Imagawa family's dominant position in the Kaso Shun alliance, strengthen the alliance with the Kira family, and improve the relationship with the Kira family.  The enshrinement level of the Kyoto court and shogunate to gain greater influence.  The plan to attack Owari was a big plan made ten years ago before the Kira clan of Mikawa was conquered. The original plan was to use five to seven years to consolidate and digest Mikawa's territory and ensure several  This major city is in the hands of Imagawa Yoshimoto, ensuring the Imagawa family's territory in Mikawa and the lord's jurisdiction over litigation, taxation, taxes and servitude.  ?Then the troops were dispatched.  Step by step, he won over the Owari people.  Then borrow the Owari people as the guide.  The Imagawa family led the army to conquer the entire territory of Owari in one go, in order to achieve the strategic goal of replicating the complete strategy of Mikawa Kingdom.  But now Taiyuan Xuesai has died of illness, and the important general who perfected and executed the plan has been lost. There is no general in the Imagawa family to replace him. Asahina Yakino is nearly seventy years old. He has aged very badly in the past few years and his abilities are more suitable for him.  As a deputy general, Okabe Motonobu is currently the most powerful general of the Imagawa family, but he is still some distance away from being a general.  The Imagawa family was filled with gloom and gloom.  Kira's house was brightly lit, and everything inside and outside Kasugayama Castle was full of joy. Long-tailed Torahime picked up the wine. Next to her, Numata Sandalwood, Ii Naotora, and Mochizuki Moneybags also picked up their wine cups and brought them with them.  He said with a joyful smile: "I wish your highness good health, and I wish the Ashikaga family a long martial arts career!" Several girls raised their wine glasses with smiles, and said, "I wish the Ashikaga family a long martial arts career!" "Okay! I'll do that.  Drink this cup to the full!" Seeing that the relationship between the several girls was initially harmonious, Kira Yoshichi said happily.  Wine is still a high-end product. There are neither suitable oak barrels nor advanced brewing methods. The wine fermented from grapes and white sugar has a weird taste.  The sweetness is mixed with sourness, making the eyebrows of several first-time women's dressing girls knitted together.  "Pfft! It tastes terrible!" Mochizuki Chiyome squirted out the drink in one gulp.  Fortunately, Ii Naotora, who was sitting opposite her, reacted quickly and dodged over. By the time the maids were covered in wine stains, they were very embarrassed. Several younger maids had red eyes and looked like they wanted to cry but didn't dare.  look.  "I told you not to drink too much. You see what a waste it is to vomit. Your Highness has worked so hard to brew a few more jars" Hu Ji scolded and called the maid to clean up the scattered wine stains.  "It doesn't matter, just spill some wine. Anyway, it can still be brewed This time the wine was really bad enough." Kira Yoshi smiled bitterly as he swallowed the wine. This wine-making process was obviously not up to par, and he could only hope to slow down in the future.  Slowly improving.  At this time, a maid hurriedly came over and whispered a few words in the ear of the long-tailed tiger princess. The girl frowned and stood up hurriedly: "Your Highness, my sister is about to give birth, I will go and take a look first."  Sister, please come and accompany Your Highness again. " "Go quickly! Sister Ayahime's place is more important. You can drink this wine at any time." Kira Yoshishi watched her leave peacefully. Nagao Ayahime since then.  She got pregnant within a few months of arriving at Kasugayama Castle. If the child was a boy, it would most likely be the legendary "Silent General" Uesugi Kagekatsu.  "Now that our family has intervened, the Nagao family has undergone such a big change! Joetsu and Nakatsu are completely in control. Nagao Masakage has lost the suppression of Nagao Kagetora and has been very happy in Kasugayama Castle. This time, he even has a child, and Shimotsu also  Being dismembered by my family is not enough, so should I look forward to a longer goal?" Ji Liangyi picked up the unpleasant wine and swallowed it with a pinch of his throat.  Northern Shinano was initially determined, and the initiative of Ueno Kingdom and even the entire Uesugi family was also in his hands. Whether it was attacking Shinano or sending troops to Ueno, he had no shortage of names. Currently, the Kira Army has eight thousand tigers and beni, mainly composed of the original members of the headquarters.  He was in his early 4000s and went to Yue country.?Two thousand, consisting of two thousand people from Northern Shinano.  These 4,000 new troops have good combat capabilities. After more than a year of reorganization and training by Yamamoto Tokiyuki, they have begun to take effect. His master is best at training troops. He has never worried about this, especially now that he has a junior brother.  Numata Yumitsu's smart, hard-working, humble and pragmatic character endeared him to Yamamoto Tokiyuki, and judging by his attitude, he had great plans to pass on his legacy.  Strictly speaking, Kira Yoshitoki is not the heir to inherit Yamamoto Tokiyuki's military strategy, fortification skills, and political methods. Yamamoto Tokiyuki's education to him is more of an inspiring one, and he often asks a few questions.  Or deliberately propose a wrong idea to let him think about the feasibility.  When the answer comes to a negative result, throw out the correct answer and let him think backwards about why it is feasible to do so, and what are the blind spots that he overlooked?  This kind of exercise was the foundation laid as early as the Mikawa era, and the benefits it brought were enough to last him a lifetime.  After many years of observation by Yamamoto Tokiyuki, he discovered that Kira Yoshitoki has his own complete values, has superb judgment and the ability to interpret and grasp situations, so he dared to use this heuristic education method. This teaching method  It is also a type of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.  And Numata Yumitsu is another kind of person. He does not have the "innate wisdom" like Kira Yoshi did. At present, his understanding of military strategy and political strategy is still very shallow.  But his learning ability is not bad at all.  Quick to pick up and very good at imitating.  The ability to grasp details is also very important.  His temperament is also very similar to that of the young Yamamoto Tokiyuki. Every battle is deduced with the basic strategic goal of winning steadily. He is especially good at using single ashigaru formations and tactics matched with various arms to defeat the guns and shields of the new army.  Bing liked it too.  This characteristic destined him to be a Tokiyuki Yamamoto in the future, which was not in line with Yoshitoki Kira's psychological expectations. In recent months, he planned to drop Shima Tokikatsu and Numata Yumitsu into the newly established staff group. Shima  Tokikatsu has mastered the archery skills of Naito Masashige under his tutelage, and he is also a talented samurai who is good at figuring out the battle situation.  It's a bit wasteful to put it in Chibei.  At the same time, there will be a new round of adjustments. General Akabi Shitara Sadachi will be transferred to General Shinano Bei. The other general is Kato Kyouaki, the former Grenadier Corps. The two of them parachuted to the top of the mountain without any followers.  In the Shinano reserve team, he relied on his excellent skills to easily suppress the two thousand Shinano people who had no backers.  The general of Akabei will be Takikawa Tokimasu. The Grenadier still maintains its strategy of elite troops, and the overall size will be doubled to become a 200-man team. The general will be Naotaka Nomura, the commander of Teppa Binai, and his deputy will be Tanaka Shigemasa. These two people  All come from Omi.  And coincidentally, one is from Kunitomo Village, and the other is Kunitomo Yubei's son-in-law.  Both of them are also worthy of trust.  Recently, we are studying a test to strengthen long-range attacks with iron cannons. According to the information fed back by the iron cannon general Masushige Takigawa who cooperated with the test, the matchlock gun cannot guarantee the safety of the grenade team. Those flammable and explosive gunpowder cans are easy to touch  The burning match rope is like thunder and fire, and whoever plays with it will die quickly.  "Your Highness, Ogasawara Shinano, the guardian of the front hall, has something important to see you!" "I know!" He took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth. Kira Yoshihi smiled and said to several girls: "I have something else to do, you guys have your meal first.  Come on!" "Your Majesty!" The girls stood up and sent him away. Mochizuki Chiyome took Ii Naotora's arm and said, "Sister Naotora, Chiyome wants to see you practice shooting, let's go play together for a while?"  Okay, I'm going to change my clothes first. Do you want Chiyo to come too?" A faint smile appeared on Ii Naotora's face. The little girl is cute and lacks scheming. She has been loved by everyone, including her, since she was a child.  In the eyes of Ii Naotora, who was raised as a boy, Chiyo Mochizuki is just an ignorant little sister.  "Okay!" Seeing Chiyo Mochizuki and Naotora Ii leaving hand in hand like good sisters, Numata Sandalwood frowned slightly and turned to leave the hall.  As soon as she returned to the room, she saw an older maid with a strange face walking quietly. She closed the door gently and leaned over in a low voice. She asked, "Your Highness, the host, hasn't you touched your body yet?" "  Didn't you already tell your father? Don't ask about the affairs of the inner court! And take back all the messy things that my father gave me. I don't want to hear any family secrets." Numata Sandalwood frowned in disgust.  , turned away from looking at the maid.  The maid was not impressed by Numata Sandalwood's disgusted expression, but she still muttered: "My lord is also doing it for our Numata family's fortune! My lord intends to marry Princess Enka to His Highness Nangoka T身f身, and when Princess Nagaka is handed over to Honda.  Your Highness, Princess Wanxiang is marrying His Highness Yamaoka Shichang. This requires Your Highness the Princess to put in more effort" "Enough! Shut up! You are just an outsider raised by my father. How dare you?  Interfering with my Kira family's family business?" Numata Sandalwood raised her eyebrows and said:She sternly reprimanded: "Leave immediately, and never come here again! I don't want to see you again!" "Youyou!" The maid's face turned pale for a while, and she laughed angrily: "  What a princess of Sandalwood! You are indeed a wonderful woman of my Numata family! But don＊t forget that you have the blood of the Numata family in your body. Don＊t forget the original purpose of the Lord ordering you to do your best to benefit the family!§  "I always remember my father's wordsbut it's not your turn to preach!" Numata Sandalwood sneered: "Now I am His Highness's woman, the Kira family's woman! I want to protect my Highness, the Kira family, not the other party."  Numata's family!" The maid smiled and shook her head when she heard her statement. Numata Danxiang said angrily: "Why are you laughing? What's so funny! Do you think that an outhouse can be compared with the concubine that I am marrying?  "I'm not laughing at anything else, but because Her Royal Highness is so naive! Do you really think that by climbing up a high branch, you can forget your identity?  My own status! So how can Princess Sandalwood compare with other princesses?" Faced with the maid's slightly mocking smile, Numata Sandalwood's face suddenly turned frighteningly white.  He lowered his head and remained silent.  That smile seemed to be saying: "I am of low status and not worth mentioning. Therefore, I am looked down upon by you, so what does it mean for you to be the princess?" The maid continued: "Princess Torahime is the head of the Echigo Kingdom.  Princess Tiger is the adopted daughter of Imagawa Harube, and even the lowest-ranking female princess Chiyo represents Mochizuki Ninja. How can you compete with these people without the support of the Numata family? How can you ensure the status of your child in the future? " "Yes?  ! What should I do with my children in the future? My children can＊t be held back because of their mother!§ Numata Sandalwood＊s complexion changed, as if a colorful paint plate was applied at will.  More complex colors.  This maid knew that Numata Sandalwood had been persuaded.  Not forgetting to pursue the victory, he said: "Our Numata family is unanimously optimistic about the Kira family. Now it is not enough to have His Highness Yumitsu and Her Royal Highness the Princess. My lord wants to take advantage of the fact that our Numata family has many daughters and establish marriage relationships with the talents of the Kira family! Even if it cannot be done!  Making them prefer our Numata family will also give more support to Her Royal Highness the Princess and her future children. If Her Royal Highness the Princess can give birth to a Lin'er for the owner in advance, the prosperity and wealth of our Numata family will be just around the corner!  The children of Her Royal Highness the Princess can also get better treatment!" Numata Sandalwood frowned and thought for a long time. When she found that the maid was still standing quietly, she immediately said to her with a straight face: "I understand, nothing else.  Please step back! And don＊t come here again. It＊s not good for anyone if your Highness finds out!§ ※Well! I won＊t come here again.§  If so, let Achun pass the message on your behalf." The maid stood up gently and pushed the door open.  Watching the paper door gradually closing, Numata Sandalwood suddenly felt the urge to cry. After holding on for a long time, she still couldn't hold back the tears accumulated in her eyes. Big teardrops fell down, and she said with a sad expression: "  Why is my father forcing me? Ever since he knew I was going to marry His Highness, he has tried every means to force me to learn things I don＊t like, from dancing to painting, from flattery to intrigue But Your Highness＊s attitude towards me has changed from eager to cold.  Isn't it because my father's teachings are wrong? Why am I still being forced to do this? Who can tell me what I owe the Numata family? "  Green smoke floats leisurely from the incense burner. The brass incense burner with hollow dragons and phoenixes is from the Ming Dynasty. The built-in incense comes from the finest spices from Kyushu. It has the effect of calming the mind and refreshing the mind. Ogasawara's long-term worries cannot be replaced by expensive incense burners.  He smoked incense to relieve his worries. He had been sitting with Kira Yoshi Tokiku for nearly half an hour, and the conversation had not yet gotten around to the main topic.  "We can't wait any longer!" Ogasawara summoned up the courage to say loudly for a long time: "Please help me take back Shinano, Takeback the lost old territory. I am willing to give you half the country of Shinano" "Haha! Ogasawara Shinano  Mamoru probably doesn＊t know yet, right? His Highness K身kata, who is in charge of Kyoto, issued a royal decree to our family, ordering us to serve as the guardians of Shinano, so we will definitely take back the Shinano family, but not for anyone, but for the sake of the shogunate, please ask Ogasawara Shinano  "Don't use the wrong word!" "What! How could this happen!" Ogasawara suddenly straightened up, his voice sounded like a rooster whose throat had just been cut, and his whole face turned red like a red apple.  He stared dumbfoundedly at the person beside him, who hurriedly handed over a piece of silk, with unfamiliar handwriting appearing on the paper.  "Now that I heard that Kai was guarding the Takeda clan and invaded Shinano, leading to great chaos, and Shinano was guarding the Ogasawara clan, they were unable to resist and fled, and were unable to perform their duties as guardians. Therefore, Kira Yoshitoki was ordered toTo protect Shinano, from now on, we will pacify Shinano and fight against those who are trying to control the chaos!  Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the third day of the first month of the second year of Hongji.  § Looking at this royal teaching book, he has realized that it is the true handiwork of the shogun. Others cannot imitate it without the special silk fabric used in the royal teaching book. Back then, his ancestor also treasured a copy of the Fourth Generation K身f身 Ashikaga.  Yoshitoshi issued a letter to the emperor, and it was also the feel of this fabric. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. "This family will not do anything to deceive or deceive. If Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Kyoto to find out the authenticity of the news. If he doesn't believe it.  You can also wait for half a month. This news must have spread to the world, and the entire Echigo and even Shinano will know it soon" Ogasawara felt a sharp pain for a long time, and his head hurt like a hammer.  He knocked and fainted as soon as his vision turned dark. The young people were startled by this sudden change. They were so panicked that they didn＊t know what to do. ※Hurry up and help Shinano Shoden to rest.  Please come over and treat Shinano Shoden.  "Ji Liangyi was also shocked. A strong and powerful man fell down like this. He was still worried that he would die like this. If something happened, he wouldn't be able to tell clearly. In a panic, he almost  A man named Ogasawara Nagasaki drove Ogasawara to the side hall to receive treatment. Fortunately, Suminao Moriuma was also in the city. He hurried over when he heard the greeting, and only wiped the sweat off his face after watching and asking questions.  He said with a long breath: "The Shinano guard was so angry that he fainted. I will prescribe some soothing decoctions. Just pay more attention to rest."  " Knowing that Ogasawara had no serious problems for a long time, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, there was no problem, otherwise it would be difficult for my family to get rid of it Let's not talk about that, how is Kunimatsu's health now?  How is your recovery after such a long period of recuperation?  " "The situation is not bad!  Guosongdian's situation is more complicated. Some congenital problems can only be treated with a combination of medication, diet, and physical therapy. My husband has drawn up a treatment strategy, and it will take about five years to basically return to normal.  "As the royal physician of the Kira family, Morishin Qunaose has now become a disciple of Nagata Tokumoto to learn authentic Kampo medicine. "Compared to the frivolous and hairy-minded samurai fantasy when they first met a few years ago. Now this man who has just passed away  The young man in his twenties also has a bit more calmness and rigor. What his father Nause Michizan's earnest persuasion failed to achieve at that time is now being worked hard under the training of Nagata Tokumoto.  Back then, I was young and ignorant, and my understanding of medicine and career was so shallow. For someone like him who came from a medical family, giving up his ancestral business and joining the ranks of unfamiliar warriors would not get him what he needed.  The self-defeating test that made him what he is today is considered a blessing. "Five years is all it takes!"  As long as Guosong can be cured, no matter how much effort it takes, it will be worth it!  "As early as two years ago, Kira Yoshitoki made up his mind to save Kunimatsu's fate. This included natural closeness in personal favor, as well as political thinking and planning. The current situation is that in the three years since Kira Yoshitoki entered Echigo,  , the voice of the former Echigo Uesugi family was greatly weakened, their influence in Kasugayama Castle was greatly reduced, the independence of the Yangbei clan was completely dismantled, and several famous thorns were either subdued or scared out of their wits.  , as the land ownership of the Kira family and the Nagao family increased dramatically, and more than 90% of the influx of refugees were controlled by these two families, no one in Echigo could threaten the foundation of the dual rule of the Nagao and Kira families.  During this period, the Ueda Nagao clan stood firmly in the camp of Kira Yoshitoki. Instead of political speculation like Usami Sadamitsu, he bet his money on him. He would be the first to implement any political decree implemented by the Kira family.  Supporter. No matter what the reason for Nagao Masakei's choice, what he did greatly increased Kira Yoshitoki's favor for the Ueda Nagao family. In addition, Nagao Masakei's wife, Nagao Aya, was good at dancing.  In terms of personal relationship, he established an extremely close relationship with Nagao Torahime, and gained the respect and trust of Kira Yoshitoki. Therefore, in more than a year, Kira Yoshikage removed Nagao Masaki from an irrelevant position.  Step by step, he was promoted to the number two figure in the Nagao family's ranking, second only to the Nagao family's old man, Honjo Sano. This time he successfully stood out from the many followers of Kasugayama Castle, making his political stance more clear.  The Nagao family is also a core member of the Kira faction with a clear-cut stance. Another key member is Saito Asanobu, who is preparing for his wedding. In the second half of last year, this reckless man did an earth-shattering thing, holding thousands of bouquets of wild flowers.  In front of the Kasugayama Castle's Hime Music Ring, he shouted loudly that he wanted to marry Atago Kikuhime. Behind him, there were more than a dozen tall and strong men who roared at the top of their lungs, and finally Nagao  Kagetora couldn't stand it any longer, so he sent Nagao Kage Company over to bring these troublemakers to the castle tower for questioning.He has the ability to act shamelessly, first he shamelessly elaborates on his love for Aju, and then uses the banner of Kira Yoshitoki to say that he is tacitly agreeing to do whatever he wants. Finally, he deliberately brings out his dead father and scolds his father.  How he fought so hard for Nagao and King Jinggong back then, how his father immediately joined the army when King Jinggong came out of the mountain, and what achievements he had made for the Nagao family over the years.  All he had to do was spit on Nagao Kagetora's face, write the words "Nagao's family owes me" on his own face, and choke Echigo no Dragon for a long time. Let's see how this guy develops in the end.  If you go down there, you will have to throw a tantrum and wallow, and you will be angry and laughing to discuss countermeasures with Kira Yoshitoki.  Kira Yoshitsune also saw that Aju's sister and Saito Asanobu were in love, but Aju's situation was very special. This silly sister didn't know what to say and was embarrassed to say it. The two of them  That layer of window paper has not been pierced for several years. If Saito Asanobu hadn't acted so arrogantly this time, I don't know how long it would have been.  So I heard that Nagao Kagetora also wanted to match up, so he expressed his support along the way, and then asked Torahime to go with a message to test Aku's intention. I don't know if Aku was frightened by this move. At that time  He covered his burning face and nodded stupidly, and then the matter was settled in a daze.  A family governor of the Ueda Nagao family. The Ueda Nagao family controls nearly 90% of the land in Uonuma County. It is equipped with its own standing armed forces and a complete group of retainers. Back then, the Ueda Nagao family dared to fight against the powerful Nagao family in the house.  Don't worry, it's just because of the advantage of being very independent.  Another patriarch of the Saito family, one of the four elders of Echigo. The Saito family was originally the patriarch of the Echigo Uesugi clan. He had the same family background as the Nagao family, and he was the first to join the Nagao family's camp. For decades,  The family has developed smoothly, leaving the other two Ishikawa and Chisaka families of the same family far behind. Their popularity and deep connections in Echigo are very strong.  Coupled with the local influence of Hojo Takahiro, Honjo Shigenaga, and Kurokawa Kiyomizu, the former Echigo people, there is almost no force in Echigo that can compete with them. This is why Kira Yoshi originally considered saving Kunimatsu.  Another motivation to deepen the relationship between the two families is the bond between Guosong.  Even Nagao Kagetora, the Dragon of Echigo, still couldn't let go of Nagao Masakei's rebellion that year, and could not change the change of the general situation. In this way, the treatment of their eldest son Kunimatsu became even more important. As long as Nagao Masakei's  As long as the eldest son dies, the Ueda Nagao family will not change. For the Ueda Nagao family who are friendly to the Kira family, Kira Yoshitoki supports it with both hands.  But the problem arises again. With the lack of medical treatment and medicine in Echigo, it is impossible to treat the symptoms faced by Kunimatsu. It is difficult to treat diseases caused by congenital problems that lead to physical weakness. In the face of this kind of disease, the only way is to use warm tonic.  Qi and blood regulate the internal organs and slowly improve.  At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen Kunimatsu's will to survive and make him more cooperative with the other side of the treatment. Five years is just a preliminary strategy, and there may be another five-year strategy in the future to consolidate the curative effect. Of course, this is not a problem.  Ten years old has plenty of time, so as long as you can survive healthily, it won't be a problem.  "Kunimatsu is still very young. He can't afford to wait for five years. We must strictly control this and ensure Kunimatsu's physical and mental health. Do you understand?" Yoshitoki Kira repeatedly warned.  "Understood!" Qu Naoze Moruma's spirit perked up, and he quickly said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Master, I will try my best to do it!"
