    This summer, when Echigo went out to Ueno and Shinano one after another, Nagao Kagenobu, who stayed at Kasugayama Castle, gave birth to a son, and named him Hojimaru. This is also the childhood name passed down from generation to generation in the Nagao family of Suyoshi, including the child born at the beginning of this year.  Kunimatsu, Suyoshi Nagao and Ueda Nagao all gave birth to legitimate sons, which was also regarded as a sign of great prosperity for the Nagao family.  A major event also happened in Mino Province, not far from Shinano. In April this year, a serious military conflict broke out at the Saito family in Mino Province. Saito Yoshiryu turned against his father, Saito Michizan, and killed him in the battle of Nagara River.  His father, Oda Nobunaga, as his son-in-law, tried to rescue him but failed, and thus turned against his brother-in-law Saito Yoshiryu.  When this happened, the Kira family was in the midst of a massacre that had always been a public spectacle, followed by a summer of war. It didn't matter, after all, it had nothing to do with Kira Yoshitoki, but Oda Nobunaga's letter at the end of autumn still surprised him,  Saburo Oda seemed to regard him as his pen pal. He would always write two or three letters every spring and autumn, talking about everything from exchanging personal interests and hobbies to imagining the future, as well as everything in his own family. This time it was about his father-in-law.  Death of Saito Dozo.  The death of Saito Douzan is a representative of the wise man in his prime and the old age. The eldest son, Saito Yoshiryu, was born to his concubine Fuka Yoshino and was made the legitimate son. His talents and skills were quite similar to Saito Douzan, but he was not as vicious as his father.  He is ruthless, so he is loved by the Saito family and the conquered Mino people.  Saito Michizan was an unjust thief of Mino. In his early years, he did everything possible to seize the Toki family's property. After ascending to the throne, he fought with the persistent Toki Yorigi for more than ten years. Mino  The domestic Toki family has either been won over or completely wiped out. In the past few years, it has been with Asakura Takakage of Echizen.  Nobuhide Oda and Owari.  Only then did Toki Yorii, who had lost his backing, be completely driven out.  But he also paid a heavy price for this.  In order to frighten the Mino people who resisted him, Saito Dozo used many brutal tortures, tied up all the samurai and family members who resisted him, and executed them according to his personal preferences. The torture methods were different.  ??For example, cattle splitting is the punishment of splitting in a chariot. The resisting criminals, warriors and family members are bound with ropes by their feet, and then tied to the cattle and driven with fire and whips to tear the criminals and warriors into pieces alive, with internal organs and blood splattering everywhere.  He also forces those who he thinks have evil intentions to watch, in order to shock and show off.  Kettle frying is the punishment of cooking in oil. The criminal samurai and their family members were thrown into the oil pan and fried to death. Especially when he heard the shrill screams and the fearful expressions of the people of Mino, Ishikawa felt very accomplished.  Goemon was also subjected to this kind of torture and execution, which was inspired by Saito Dozo.  The last and most famous one is the coir raincoat. Thick coir raincoats are tied with ropes to the bodies of criminal warriors and family members, and then they are poured with grease and set alight. The coir raincoats are wrapped in the raging fire and cannot move. They can only jump or fall to the ground.  Rolling around and wailing.  Saito Michizan called this struggling movement the coir raincoat jump, and he liked watching the coir raincoat jump very much.  Because this is a dance that only the dead can dance.  Because his cruelty and bloodthirsty made the people of Mino fear and hate them, they did not dare to resist the cruel Saito Dozo, so they gradually united under the banner of Saito Yoshiryu for warmth. Saito Yoshiryu was more willing to treat these Mino people favorably.  Chinese people, gradually amidst brutal torture and bloody terror, a major force gathered in Mino, and that was Saito Yoshiryu.  In 1554, Saito Douzan found that there were fewer and fewer cronies around him, and Saito Yoshiryu's prestige was getting higher and higher. As smart as he was, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, immediately gave up his position as a monk, lived in seclusion, and became a monk.  The Dharma name Three was supposed to develop in this way to successfully complete the transfer of power, but something went wrong.  Perhaps he was really old and dim. Saito Douzan, who had retired, began to dote on his two younger sons, Kiheiji and Sonshiro. The old man tried his best to meet all the needs of these two younger sons. For example, he gave "Isshiki" to his second son Kiheiji.  "Youbei Daisuke".  Because he is the younger brother of Saito Yoshiryu, and their brother's mother Fuka Yoshino is the daughter of Isshiki Yoshikiyo, so he decorated his family with a high-ranking name to show Dosan's love for Kiheiji.  But in this way, it is very unfair to Saito Yoshiryu. As the leader of the Mino Kingdom, Saito Yoshiryu feels that he is very insulted. His second son is Isshiki Uhei Daisuke, but he is still Saito Yoshiryu, which does not sound good.  His reclusive father always talked about how good Kiheiji and Sonshiro were when he met everyone, and mentioned the keyword "deposed heir".  He could tolerate it just because of pampering and giving him a name, but it was Saito Yoshiryu who could not tolerate being deposed. As Saito Douzan's preference for Kiheiji and Sonshiro became more and more serious in the past two years,  The signs of being deposed became more and more obvious, and Saito Yoshiryu decided to do something. ? One day in early November last year, Saito Yoshiryu suddenly fell ill in Inabayama Castle. According to the doctor, Saito Yoshiryu was about to die soon. He knew that he was going to die soon.The popular Saito Yoshiryu proposed to meet his two younger brothers. Nagai Michuri, the younger brother who was deeply trusted by Saito D¨­san, personally acted as the envoy to let the two brothers Kiheiji and Sonshiro relax their vigilance.  With such a good thing in mind, he hurried to Inabayama Castle to visit his seriously ill brother.  The two brothers were a little afraid and worried when they first met their sturdy elder brother Saito Yoshiryu. However, when they heard that the terminally ill Saito Yoshiryu was making arrangements for his funeral and expressed his intention to pass on the position of family governor to Kiheiji, the two brothers were immediately overjoyed.  Forgetting the vigilance and persuasion of the accompanying samurai, and with the active persuasion of Saito Yoshiryu's favored minister Hineno Hiroyuki, the two brothers put down their guard and sent the attendants away to drink and have fun. The two brothers happily drank until midnight.  Hinano Hiro, who had been drinking with Kiheiji and Sonshiro until midnight, was not drunk. After confirming that the two brothers and their entourage had relaxed their vigilance, he held the sword and killed the two brothers Kiheiji and Sonshiro on the spot.  The sweet dream of the Lord went to hell.  Saito Yoshitsune, who was supposed to be seriously ill and bedridden, appeared outside the door at this time. He watched coldly as Hinenohiro executed the two brothers. At the urging of his uncle Nagai Michuri, he waved his hand and killed the two brothers.  The attendants, as well as his father's spies buried in the city, were all executed, which also meant that the father and son had turned against each other.  From a technical point of view, Saito Yoshiryu executed his two younger brothers.  It's almost the same as Oda Nobunaga's method of executing Oda Nobuyuki.  The same pretense of illness attracts hostile people.  Moreover, the same conflicts occurred between neighboring countries. It must be said that greed blinded their eyes and cost them their lives.  After murdering the two brothers, Saito Yoshitsune sent an envoy to deliver the bodies of the two brothers to Saito Dosan. After learning the whole story, Saito Dosan looked up to the sky and sighed. Facing Saito Yoshitsune's army gathering, he immediately  He sent an envoy to his relatives, Akechi's family, and his son-in-law, Oda Nobunaga, for help.  Saito Douzan did not expect to spend his whole life playing tricks.  In the end, he was tricked by the person he trusted most. Nagai Michuri was a kind of younger brother to him. He had been responsible for delivering information about Inabayama City to him, but he never imagined that this younger brother had already betrayed and joined Saito Yoshi.  dragon.  In other words, the entire Mino people basically took refuge in Saito Yoshiryu. They hated Saito Douzan, who was cruel and cruel, and hated his beef cracking, kamataki, and coir raincoat. Every time they watched their old friends being tortured to death  As time went on, the rage and fury in their hearts became increasingly uncontrollable.  The root of the disaster had already been laid, and Saito Douzan's defeat was a foregone conclusion, because the heavy snow in late winter made marching difficult.  Saito Douzan did not dare to continue to carry him in Sagiyama Castle, so he burned the castle and fled to Daimulus Castle near the Nagara River.  The patient Yoshiryu Saito is determined to stand still and unify the internal front first, and then deal with Saito Michizan, the turtle in the urn.  During this period, a rumor spread in Mino. It was said that Fuka Yoshino, who was the concubine of Toki Raiun at that time, married Saito Michizan as his concubine while pregnant with Toki Raiun's child. That child was Saito Yoshiryu.  , in fact, the relevant legendary prototypes have been around for a long time. Saito Yoshiryu was tall and powerful, and the big man of 1.75 meters would dominate the audience wherever he went. Saito Dozo was only 1.6 meters tall.  No matter how you look at father and son, they don't match each other. It is said that Saito Douzan doesn't like Saito Yoshiryu for this reason.  Saito Yoshiryu has not come forward to confirm this rumor, because his big man has been suppressed and feared by his father for many years, but now it is a blessing in disguise that he has become his talisman, so he is also happy that someone is fanning the flames for him. After all, killing  It is a major crime of disobedience and unfilial piety to his father. It would be different if his own father was Toki Raiun, and he could also use this method to strengthen the legal dominance of the Lord of Mino.  In April of this year, the ice and snow melted and the spring planting was over. Saito Yoshiryu led an army of 17,500 and marched out to Daisan City. On April 18, Saito Dozo and Tsukakuyama formed a formation. The Akechi family did not dare to send troops because the situation was unclear.  On the other side, because the winter snow on the Hida Mountains melted, the river water surged. As a guest soldier, Oda Nobunaga did not dare to go deep alone. He could only go to the relatively distant Kiso River, Tojima near the Hida River, and Tozobo.  Set up the formation.  Saito Douzan did not expect that Saito Yoshiryu would gather so many troops. Seeing that he only had 2,700 loyal troops, he felt so bitter and desolate in his heart. This unsuspicious war started along the Nagara River.  As soon as Saito's army's vanguard general, Takeyao Michizhen, took the lead, Saito Michizan had to send his own team to repel the Takeyao team.  Saito Yoshiryu Army Lieutenant General Nagaya Jinemon issued a challenge to the Ikkichao, and Shibata Kakuuchi, the Saito Army's third army, accepted the challenge. At the same time, both sides chose to launch a surprise attack during the Ikkichao. Two thousand seven hundred people fought against 17,500.  Even the elite of the Kira family did not dare to do this, not to mention that the opposite side was led by Saito Yoshiryu, with a group of angry Mino people as the main force. The outcome of the Saito army was already doomed before the war even started.  Soon, Saito's three armies were outnumbered and retreated to the shore of the Nagara River, looking at the surging river water rolling away behind them.Saito Douzan knew that he had no way to escape, and hundreds of defeated soldiers who were trapped and exhausted were desperately resisting. The sixty-three-year-old Saito Douzan was still fighting bravely. He roared and cursed Saito Yoshiryu for being ungrateful.  Trying to resist the attack of Saito Yoshiryu's army, he knew very well that there was no way to escape from this battle.  At this moment, Komaki Genta came out from the side. This old acquaintance of Saito Yoshiryu shouted and stabbed Saito Douzan in the calf. Taking advantage of the old man staggering and falling, he raised his knife and chopped it off.  With his head, the fate of a generation of heroes came to an end. Oda Nobunaga, who was watching from the sidelines, could only return to Qingzhou City with a livid face and a force of three thousand troops, vowing in his heart to wash away this shame.  In Oda Nobunaga's letter, he vowed that he must capture Mino to avenge his father-in-law. Yoshitoki Kira could understand his thoughts. A young daimyo who was proud of himself saw his father-in-law beheaded by his brother-in-law in front of his eyes.  However, he is too weak to be eaten by others, so he can only run away in despair, which is really useless.  As for whether avenging his father-in-law is because his father-in-law was very kind to him, there is no need to think too much about it.  How can such a famous person have such deep feelings?  Saito Douzan would be very kind if he didn't go to his little son-in-law.  Needless to say, he must have coveted Meinong's territory to avenge his father-in-law.  Kira Yoshitsune just replied to some letters casually, and did not write anything about the assassination of Kiichi Ichi. He especially emphasized the dangers of Kiichi Ichi and the incident of trouble caused by the monks of the Ichikai sect that he had encountered in Tsushima, which made him careful about Owari's Nagashima.  The same goes for the Yixiang Zong and the Yixiang Zong of Mikawa.  "I'm reminding you, it's up to you whether you can understand it thoroughly or not." Kira Yoshishi folded the letter and gave it to Xiao, who put it in a lacquer seal and sent it to Owari.  In addition to serving as a mouthpiece for Oda Nobunaga to vent his personal emotions, there is also a piece of news from Kyoto.  It was at the beginning of this year that the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru suddenly came up with a plan to rebuild Kyoto. The main purpose was to repair the towns, streets and some public facilities in Kyoto. By the way, his Nijo Imperial Palace and the imperial palace were also planned.  inside of.  This plan was warmly welcomed by people from all walks of life in Kyoto as soon as it was proposed. Within two months, 30,000 guanwen of Yongle money was raised to start construction smoothly. The Sanheya received this large order worth 30,000 guanwen.  More than a thousand skilled craftsmen from Omi and the idle population of Kyoto worked together to complete the project.  During the construction process, many new towns were also expanded, especially some dilapidated and abandoned old towns near Ukyo that were demolished and rebuilt. However, this small amount of money does not mean such an ambitious goal of "reconstruction", because Kyoto's prices are too expensive.  The Sanhe soil used by Kirajia does not come for free. The cost of artificial materials alone is not cheap.  The comprehensive expansion and reinforcement of Nijo Imperial Palace requires 8,000 guan.  The main purpose is to expand several sets of supporting buildings and add new buildings such as the Western Imperial Palace, Diaoqiu Pavilion, and Nanhuayuan. The requirements of the shogunate are very high. The three-story city wall of stone wall, three-layer soil, and lime must be two and a half rooms high, and the three-story main castle.  It is guaranteed that Ashikaga Yoshiteru can overlook the entire Kyoto city while standing on the terrace.  Repairing the dilapidated palaces in Ouchi requires 12,000 kusen. Ouchi, where the emperor lives, has been dilapidated for hundreds of years. Many palaces are worse than ruined temples. In some palaces, weeds can grow up to the thighs. There is nothing to be done about the high cost of repairs.  As for things, Ashikaga Yoshiki gritted his teeth and decided to be a good person and do it to the end. Spend more money and treat it as a good deal.  But in this way, there were only 10,000 gu left from the 30,000 gu. Even if the castle town was renovated, it would not cost much money. He could only slow down the construction speed while thinking of ways. So in the summer, Ashikaga Yoshiteru wrote letters to various places.  The daimyo asked for a share of royal materials to build Kyoto.  It happened to be during the war at that time, and after receiving the news from Shinano, Kira Yoshitoki just issued a handwriting order, ordering Sakamoto's family to allocate 10,000 kanfu of Yongle money to pay for the shogunate, and to spend more money for this kind of reputation-increasing undertaking.  There will only be benefits and no harm.  Everyone knows that the Kira family is very rich. If they were not concerned about the shogun's displeasure, it would be no problem to let the Kira family bear all the expenses. Anyway, it was the Sangeya that took over the construction project, and the Kira family donated 10,000 gon Yongle money.  Three thousand of them went directly back to the Kira family's pockets as pure profits.  The project was initially estimated to take about a year and a half. Construction started in March and was basically completed at the end of winter after day and night construction. The Ouchi of the imperial court and the Nijo Imperial Palace of the shogunate were the first to be completed. The rest of the renovation and expansion were completed, including Ashikaga Yoshi.  Hui also won praise from the emperor for this performance.  Time flies and one year has passed, and the first month of the third year of Hongzhi (1557) has arrived. At the beginning of this year, the court conveyed the list of ministers to be promoted to ministers for the new year. First, Kuga Harumichi resigned from the two inner ministers and was promoted to a right minister. According to the practice of ministers,  Ministers who rise to the top of the hierarchy have other names, so they are respectfully called Minister Kuzeyou. This honorific is the same as that of his ancestor Kuga Gutong, which is also a unique honor.  As the second son of the Konoe family, he was adopted into the Kuuga family as the heir when he was just one year old.??Witnessing the successive decline of the imperial court and the shogunate, when the emperor was reduced to selling paintings for a living, and the ministers went to the streets to sell vegetables to make ends meet, I thought that the troubled times would continue, and I would always stay in the position of the two great ministers.  Another joke.  The shogunate was filled with new vitality, and the imperial court followed the changing times. Within a few years, he rocketed up to the position of a right minister. His improved status made him more confident about the future, and his decision to escape into Buddhism when he was living in hardship a few years earlier gradually faded away.  idea.  His son Kuagatsuken, who was the same age as Kira Yoshitoki, was promoted to the third rank of Nagon in this winter, and succeeded his father as the elder of the Genji clan.  This family embodies a noble family to the fullest.  The Kuaga family is considered to be the main minister close to the Kira family.  But this is far from the best news.  What surprised Kiragi Shi most was that his uncle, Nakayoshi, finally crossed the threshold that had not been moved for a long time and was promoted to the rank of deputy minister. For a minister who came from a minister's family, it was very embarrassing to be promoted to this stage.  Easy.  As Kira Yoshitomo's uncle, Nakayuan Tongwei is not a public minister in the ordinary sense. Reciting poems, painting and lamenting the Spring and Autumn Period is not his main job, as a public minister with great ambitions.  In the fifth year of Astronomy (1536), he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General Zuo, the three counselors in Xuxi, and he has been doing what he can for the shogunate.  In March of the sixth year of Tenmon (1537), the shogunate acted as the acting official at the Kaga estate. The local Asahi family defaulted on the taxes paid by the shogunate's royal materials office and caused a land lawsuit.  He dealt with the lawsuit and stayed in the harsh environment of Kaga Country for three years, working hard to help the shogunate regain the power of Ngaga Estate.  Later, because he was ostracized by the local people, repeatedly disturbed by the local Ichibashi believers, and the Asahi family refused to cooperate, the Central Court Tongwei resigned from his official position in anger and returned to Kyoto to live in seclusion. It was not until the next year that the court and the shogunate were helpless and reinstated him.  Enable.  He returned to serve as one of the three senators, Lieutenant General Zuo.  As the only minister in the entire court who had fought against the Kaga clan for three years, he became the absolute authority in handling land disputes.  The imperial court and the shogunate would come to consult him every time they encountered land disputes. During this period, he also assisted the imperial court of Yamashiro Kingdom, Omi, and the shogunate's imperial palace and successfully recovered part of the tribute in arrears.  Based on this achievement, in the leap month of the eleventh year of Astronomy (1542), he was promoted to the third position in the imperial examination.  The lord Izumi Yajiro confronted him, and that summer he was sent to Kagashi again.  At that time, Chu Yun Tongwei's tough strategy of confiscating the fields that had been owed annual tribute for decades was immediately met with strong retaliation from the Kaga people. Kasho, who had always attacked him, forced him to flee Kaga, but Chu Yun Tongwei persisted.  Without leaving, he just suppressed the people of Xiangzong.  In May of the 15th year of Tenmon (1546), the shogunate finally couldn't hold on any longer and issued a decree to seize the land of Kagaga Farm. As a last resort, Nakain Michihi had no choice but to pack his bags and return to Kyoto. With his merits, he returned to Kyoto two years ago.  Later, he was promoted to the third highest official, and then Kira Yoshitsugu went to Luo to ask him to give up his plan to continue to entangle with Kaga.  Another piece of news is that of his cousin Nakayuan Tongmin, who relayed the story of the three Lieutenant Generals Zhongyuan Yan and Sakonue Rugen. His younger brother Goyuan, Nakayuan Tonghui, died of illness two years ago, which brought great sorrow to the Nakain family.  Under a shadow, the second brother, who was only two years old, was adopted as an adopted son by the Prince Shirakawa family. The current governor of the family is Shirakawa Masaye, who is nearly seventy years old, also known as the King of Masaye.  This family belongs to the lineage of Prince Kiyohito, the son of Emperor Hanayama. His legitimate son, Prince Ennobu, is the first ancestor of Kaimai. He served as an official of the ancient gods. As a royal priest, he founded the Haku family Shinto family, also known as Shirakawa-ryu Shinto.  The Zhongyuan family is also considered a prominent one.  Last summer, Kira Yoshitsune's aunt Yoshi Odai gave birth to another son, and it was decided that the son would be adopted by the Rokujo family. This family was originally a descendant of the Kuaga family and was also from the Habayashi family. It would not be wrong to inherit this family.  children.  In addition, the imperial court also appointed five subordinate attendants to the Namioka Tower House. These were the official positions that Kira Yoshitoki personally wrote and were obtained through the operation of Kuga Harumichi and Nakain Tongwei. As a minister from the Murakami Genji clan,  The success of Langang Toutang's official career was also the beginning of his journey to becoming a public minister.  With the emperor's praise, Ashikaga Yoshiteru caught up with the last train for promotion at the beginning of this year. He was promoted to two high-ranking officials, General Ukonoe, and he is working hard to move in the direction of the elder Genji. However, judging from the current situation, Murakami Genji has not been around for a long time.  My family and the Nakain family have been fully restored with the support of Yoshitoki Kira, but there is no hope for the elder Genji in the short term.  This year, in addition to the people from Echigo, people from Shinano and Ueno presented congratulatory gifts. People from Northern Shinano took the initiative to come to Kasugayama Castle to congratulate the New Year. Nagao, Shirai and Ashikaga from Ueno Province  The first-class relatives, the Nagano clan, the Obata clan, the Numata clan, the Yura clan and other powerful national family governors or a familyHe came to the city in person to congratulate him.  Kasugayama Castle, which used to be quiet and peaceful, suddenly became crowded with thousands of people. The accompanying envoys curiously looked at the neat streets and pedestrians coming and going in Echigo. They were surprised to find that although they were in a world of white snow and ice,  , pedestrians on the road were happily clearing the snow on the road.  The young children held up the pocket-sized Ashikaga futeiry¨­ flags and swished through the crowd and disappeared around the corner. Only when they shouted slogans about samurai destroying bad guys did they realize that Echigo had turned into something else.  The accompanying envoys were either in small groups, or swarmed into the castle towns and Naoetsu Town to make purchases. For samurai who rarely went out, this mission was a good opportunity to serve their own interests, and to wipe out their own wealth and owe money.  I came to Echigo just because I was under a lot of foreign debt, just to buy more goods here, so that I can make a big fortune when I return to my hometown after the holiday.  Different from the samurai who rushed to the store in a swarm, Nagano Yegu and Onata Nobuzada were walking around with more than a dozen Chinese envoys from Ueno and Shinano. They had not yet decided what they wanted to buy. They looked around like a country man.  Peasant warriors, but they don't care about the strange looks from pedestrians.  "We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and Echigo has changed a lot. People seem to be getting richer and richer. How can we do all this? Zhenfudian is really a mysterious man." Nagano Yegu said  He looked thoughtfully at the Bell and Drum Tower standing in the middle of the vertical street.  He could be sure that it was built in recent years, because there was no such bell and drum tower before he left. The nine-meter-high bell and drum tower is like an enhanced version of the civil engineering scull. There is a small and exquisite arrow hanging in the bell and drum tower.  A bronze bell hangs from the top of the tower with a huge Ashikaga two-letter flag, which rings the bell on the first hour after the sun rises.  When the bell rings at dawn, people get up and leave their homes to start the day's work. Until the last bell rings before the sun goes down, people finish the day's work and go home. News that Echigo has limited working hours to the sound of the bell.  In China, the rule of working from sunrise to sunset is quantified by the sound of bells, and the number of hours worked a day gradually enters people's lives.  "There is a break every six days, and the working time must not exceed five hours. Children over five years old in the town must receive more than three years of basic education. It is said that Shinmura is also doing this. It is really a big deal!" Nobuzada Obata clicked his tongue in admiration.  A Shinano samurai who was traveling with him came over and said: "I heard that the annexation of new villages throughout Echigo has been completed. More than 400 walled cities and 35 branch cities have been demolished. None of the new villages after the annexation is less than 3,000.  People, the statistics of taxes and levies will be much easier in the future. " "It's not just like that!" Although he didn't know what Kira Yoshitoki was thinking, Nagano Yegu still felt that it was not that simple: "It is said that the plan is to establish a house number system and a household registration system.  And determine the occupational categories! I just don¡¯t know what the Jinfu Palace is going to do.¡± Another samurai heard the discussion and said, ¡°Hey! Have you heard that Echigo is going to reform the tax system and abolish the previous miscellaneous taxes?  The land tax will be changed into a business tax and set at 20%, and the tax money will be changed into a tariff, which will be levied on trade goods entering and leaving the port. The specific tax on trade goods will be publicly announced by the Kira family!  One cent of tariff? What else can you get? A 50% tariff is too much!" The group of warriors gradually gathered around the street corner, exchanging what they had learned along the way.  "That's right! Who knows what the Kira family is up to." "Shh! Keep your voice down, you don't want to live anymore!" Nagano Yoshigu and Obata Nobuzada looked at each other, tacitly avoided the crowd, and squeezed into the flow of people.  , but disappeared after a while.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
