Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The first day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Koji's reign was particularly lively. People from all walks of life in Echigo, Ueno, and Shinano gathered here, including the Echu Shiina clan, Shimono Sano clan, Shimosu Chiba clan, Aizu Ashina clan, Dewa Mogami clan, etc.  The daimyo from all over the world sent envoys to celebrate. Their nominal purpose was to celebrate the three newly minted ministers, but in fact they came over to proactively build a good relationship with the popular Echigo.  It's okay for other people from the country to come over, but Ashina Mori and Mogami Yoshimori also sent envoys to come to the city to celebrate. They spewed out flattering words as if they wanted no money and wanted to have their faces pressed against them. It was so disgusting that even the other envoys looked at it.  But go ahead. After all, everyone is from the Wu family. How could such a drop in price happen? Most of the Chinese people who came to congratulate did not understand the fear of these two families.  Regarding the envoys from these two families, the Kira family's approach is to open the door to welcome guests. As long as you dare to come, I will welcome you. I will accept all the gifts as ordered, but will not talk to you about any problems. Everyone laughs, eats and drinks, and treats it as a happy New Year party.  For a moment, the ambiguous attitude made the two envoys anxiously turn around, but there was no better way to deal with it. They could only accompany everyone to eat, drink and have fun with a look that wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh and wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.  Kasugayama Castle was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, creating a festive and lively atmosphere. The banquets had been going on since the beginning of the first year. Ever since the imperial court announced that Kiragi was promoted to the third rank, the title of the Tora Princess, the Naga-tailed Tiger Princess, had also changed.  Chenghu Godai, the maids of Kasugayama Castle no longer have to worry about the awkward names of the two Tora Godai.  The envoy officially announced by the imperial court was still Imedekawa Seiji, and he was accompanied by Zhongyuan Tongmin. This cousin took the opportunity to come to Echigo on official business for the imperial court and spent a few days eating and drinking.  Now he is living a life without desires and desires.  The three Lieutenant Generals Kainaka Nyan and Sakonoe were very satisfied.  The few business houses operating in Kyoto can't say that they make a lot of money every day, but they are definitely better than guarding a few farms in the past and worrying about the servants making trouble.  His married life with Yoshiko Kuga is also very happy. It is said that Kira Yoshitoki's hot-tempered sister-in-law is pregnant and ready to give birth. The happy smile revealed in his words makes Kira Yoshitoki very jealous, and he reflects that he has not had any contact with her until now.  Female sex is such a failure.  He also told Kiragi that the imperial court intends to move the position of the internal minister, probably to move it to the position of the internal minister. However, the internal minister has no plans to move forward because the court wants to use the internal minister.  The person on the right who replaced Kuga Harumichi, the father-in-law of the Central Court, was the one who promoted this appointment. It was his predecessor Sekishiro Nijo Haruyoshi.  It can be seen from this that there is still a loud voice in the imperial court regarding the newly emerged alliance of public ministers. The Kujo and Ichichi-series of public ministers represented by Nijo Haruyoshi have always been the Konoe and Ichigo groups represented by Konoe's predecessors.  It¡¯s not surprising that the two companies have been sworn political enemies of the Takashi Kokomi Group. They have fought to the death for three to four hundred years, with each other winning or losing. However, in recent years, the trend has clearly been towards the Konoe family, and many neutral Kokomi families have been roped in to join the Konoe family.  The family's carriage, and the force hidden behind it is from the Ashikaga family of the Shogunate faction.  Nijo Haruyoshi soon discovered that the political factions of the Ashikaga family were very complicated. A new dignitary who had been away from the center of power in Kyoto for several years still maintained absolute influence on Kyoto, such as Konoe, Kuga, Sanjo, Imadegawa, Tokudaiji, Sanjo  A large number of Gongqing families, including the Nishi and Nakain families, have very close contacts with the Ashikaga family.  The more he investigated, the more frightened he became.  Sekihaku, the left minister, is the sworn brother of Konoe Sentzu, Yoshitoki Kira, and the right minister, Kuga Haremichi, is Konoe Sentzu's uncle.  At the same time, he is also the in-law of Nagan Nakayuan Tongwei, and Nakayuan Tongwei is Kira Yoshitoki's biological uncle. When this relationship is substituted, it becomes an emerging powerful group that far exceeds the original faction.  Therefore, Nijo Haruyoshi wants to break this power network. First of all, he must clear out the most powerful link, Kuga Haremichi. His method is to use his relative, Nakainomiru, as the internal minister as bait, forcing the Nakain family to bite the hook.  As for betraying Kuga Harumichi's interests, this strategy is neither secretive nor clever, but it is very tempting.  Zhongyuan Tongwei thought about it for a long time but still rejected the proposal. He knew very well that once he became an internal minister with his family background, he would have to resign voluntarily for at most two or three years. After all, the Zhongyuan family's family background was only a ministerial family, not a Tsinghua family. He could not continue to do so.  He still wants to wait a few more years to hold on to the position of Minister of the Interior. Kuga Harumichi has just become the Right Minister, so he has to wait until his prestige in the position gradually increases before he considers it.  As soon as Nakain Doi left, Odate Harimitsu led a huge team to Kasugayama Castle. He was here to announce the latest appointment of the shogunate. Ashikaga Yoshiteru's imperial book did not have the old lady's habit of wrapping her feet in cloth. In just a few lines,  The general idea is that Kira Yoshitoki was appointed as the guardian of Ueno. Under his responsibilities, the people of Ueno should be impartial and law-abiding and make more efforts to revitalize the cause of the shogunate.  The people of Ueno cheered when the decree was announced, regardless of whether it was true or not. This was the latest guardian appointed by the shogunate. No matter how they felt, they expressed their support. In fact, the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshi?Still very excited. This is the first Kanto state that was recovered by the shogunate during the Kira Yoshi period. It is also the first comprehensive penetration of Kanto by the shogunate. If the ancestors of all generations knew about this news underground, they would definitely be excited.  When people think of the Muromachi shogunate, people's impression is of endless turmoil, which is almost comparable to the congenitally defective Kamakura shogunate. Although the shogunate was not killed like the Kamakura shogunate, the behavior of killing the shogun and exiling the general to manipulate the inheritance is still serious. The Muromachi shogunate  The most serious internal trouble is the eight kingdoms of Kanto outside the independent shogunate. The difficult Kanto family governor has been obsessed with going to Luo for many generations to usurp the position of the general who conquered the barbarians. It has always been a major worry for the shogunate.  Since the Onin Rebellion, the authority of the shogunate has been declining, and the Kanto Lord has become a marionette in the hands of the Hojo family. When Kiragi, a genius who has never been seen in a century, emerges from the shogunate, he just takes the Yamashiro country in the hands of the Miyoshi family.  He protected it and left a piece of pure land on earth for the shogunate. In the few years after leaving Echichi, he used his own methods to conquer the two major Zhou kingdoms of Shinano and Ueno. That was a territory of 800,000 koku in total. These methods are called magical powers!  Kira Yoshitsune's upheaval in Echigo not only shook Kanto up and down, but also went west and north in Yu'ao, Hokuriku, and Tokai. There were crazy rumors that two military gods appeared in Echigo. One was Ashikaga Kamisaburo, the Genji military god in Kawachi, and the other  It is Nagao Taira Sankagetora, the military god of the Bando Taira clan.  At the turn of summer and autumn in the third year of Hongzhi.  The two staged a big drama in Dongguo.  Nagao Kagetora defeated Hojo Ujiyasu's 40,000 army with an army of 50,000.  Eight thousand people were killed and six thousand captured alive. This battle wiped out the hearts of the Kanto heroes. From then on, no one knew the name of the Dragon of Echigo. The names of "Chaos Dragon Banner" and "Black Dragoon" were spread all over the world.  The names of various princes in the sixty-six countries were also shocked.  Legend has it that Echigo gathered a group of immortal legions in the underworld. General Zhong Kui of the Black Dragoons was three feet tall with a green face and fangs. He could swallow a thousand live cattle alive in one meal and could drink all the water of the Tone River in one mouthful. He was so powerful that he could withstand Mount Fuji.  He single-handedly captured Lord Kanto and captured Hojo Ushigeki alive. He killed three thousand Hojo cavalry with just one man. He was a demon general with extremely powerful abilities. There are many more bizarre legends circulating among the people. Various rumors have made Echigo  The description is extremely bizarre.  During Kira Yoshi's time, he used ten thousand troops to kill 10,000 Takeda troops and captured more than 6,000 alive. He killed more than 100 famous samurai including Takeda Noburen and thousands of unknown people. He captured Takeda Yoshinobu and Takeda Nobushige alive.  Many high-ranking ministers, including Shinano and Ueno, were in the pocket of the Kira family for a time, which shocked the "people with lofty ideals" in Kanto and Yuao and could not sleep at night.  It is said that this battle was extremely fierce.  The weeds on Kawanaka Island were dyed red with blood. Takeda Harunobu was critically injured by a knife and luckily hid in Kai to recuperate behind closed doors.  Veterans such as Komai Masatake, Hakusai, Imai Sagami, and his younger brother Imai Toraho were not so lucky. They all died shortly after returning to Kai, declaring the decline of the Takeda family, which was once prosperous.  Among the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto, Ueno Kingdom is considered to be the first-class big country. Ueno Kingdom was the Kingdom of Ueno during the Heian Period. Only the prince could hold the concurrent post of Ueno Governor. Since the establishment of the Muromachi Shogunate, it has been the core territory of the Kanto Lord and the Yamauchi Uesugi family. The shogunate has  It is an indisputable fact that Ueno Kingdom lacks actual control. This time it was easily recaptured by the Kira family, which can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of more than ten generations of shoguns.  Although Ashikaga Yoshiteru emotionally does not want to see Kira Yoshitoki's successive victories, he can't bring out such naughty thoughts. He is even more worried that doing so will cause an uproar in the world and leave a legacy to the world.  He has a vicious and ruthless bad image. The revival and support of the shogunate cannot be separated from the support of the Kira family. He is still unable to do the stupid thing of destroying the Great Wall.  Even if all these are not that important, just look at the annual regular payment of money and food, which is timely and thoughtful. When asking for official duties, he proactively communicates with the shogunate and seals a large amount of money. From top to bottom, all the officials of the shogunate are  I am very satisfied with the arrangement. As the shogunate, his authority is now increasing, and the expenses for welcoming and transporting are quite high. He just spent 10,000 kiwan to handle the funeral arrangements for the previous emperor. If he had the money and food to support him when he left Kiragi  Where can I save the next 10,000 kanmon to support the emperor, not to mention the current scene where the shogunate welcomes various daimyo and wealthy families to pay their respects and give money to the emperor.  Odate Harimitsu stayed at Kasugayama Castle for a few days and explained the complex form of Kinai to Kira Yoshitoki in detail, focusing on the influence of the Kira family on Kinai in Shiga and Takashima counties, as well as Rokkaku Yoshihide's increasingly obvious actions.  The implication is that I hope Kira Yoshiki will make more preparations and be careful that this person will attack the two counties at any time.  This is what Odate Harimi told him in private. Ashikaga Yoshiteru did not let him tell him this information. This kind old man is now the fourth Mutsunomushi. He is getting older but still energetic.  Shi Yifan gave heartfelt advice, hoping that he could pay more attention to Kinai's behavior. After all, the roots of the shogunate were where he came from.  Ji Liangyi was very happy with the old man's advice and deliberately persuaded him to stay inLater, he served as a diplomat for the Kira family. The old man was very happy with his invitation but said that he was old and would retire in Kyoto in a few years. However, his son, Odate Teruki, is twenty-two years old this year.  , the young man does not have much status in the shogunate, so he can come to Echigo to help the Kira family. After all, the shogunate can only be better if we are from the same shogunate and help each other.  Odate Seiko left in a hurry. In fact, he had already mastered the information he gave him. Rokkaku Yoshiken was not determined to die for a day or two. Five thousand new troops from Omi were sent to Echigo for training in order to deal with the increasingly serious provocation. At the end of the year, he  Let Yamamoto Tokiyuki recruit another 5,000 new troops in Vietnam for training, and use these 5,000 new troops to replace the remaining 2,500 Omi new troops.  After two years of hard training, half of them died after only a few months of fighting. It would be false to say that you don¡¯t feel bad. Without the desperate persistence of these new troops, even an army of 10,000 people would definitely not be able to defend Songcang City.  They have experienced a lot in just a few months.  Know how to defend a city and fight a war.  Every battle must be thoroughly prepared.  The biggest reward is to be patient and impatient when encountering emergencies, and to successfully complete the transformation of new recruits into elite divisions.  These two thousand and five hundred people will return to Omi by boat when the spring flowers bloom. Nakajo Tokihide needs these elites to hold down the place. These two counties have not experienced war for several years, and even the spirit of the samurai has gradually become lazy.  This kind of samurai who were killed on the frontline battlefield were needed to guard the stall. At the same time, he also planned to mobilize another three thousand soldiers from Omi to guard the place in rotation, so as to hone the fighting will of the Omi samurai through battle, and by the way, he would also find some soldiers for himself.  In the first month of the first month, there were constant feasts.  Kira Yoshitoki only showed up a few times in the first few days, and the subsequent banquets were all hosted by Hakudai. Nagao Kagetora's declaration of honoring Kira Yoshitoki as master was just the beginning. Changing the mentality of the Echigo people still needs a process.  The agricultural development of Shinano and Ueno cannot be summed up by simply following the Echigo model. The government affairs that had been squeezed for half a year were piled on his desk, and it was really a myriad of things that gave him a headache.  When he was having a headache with the documents related to the development of new fields in Niigata, the construction of river defenses, and the one-year trial of rice-wheat rotation, something annoying happened. Saito Asanobu came to him with a sad face.  He begged: "Master Zhenfu, please make the decision for me, Chao Xin! Ah Ju is living a very miserable life, but today she actually had the idea of ??committing suicide. If the maid hadn't found out earlier, she would have left me! Woo hoo  Ji Liangyi suddenly stood up and asked hurriedly: "Hold on! Please calm down and tell me what happened? Is Sister Aju in danger?"  Sir, where is sister Aju now? " "Aju is not in danger, but she was hiding a dagger in her hand and was preparing to commit suicide. However, she was bumped into by a few maids who happened to be cleaning the room. She was not injured but was in high spirits.  I was depressed, and I kept crying while holding the baby, which broke my heart! Wuwu" Saito Chaoxin said incoherently, and it took him a long time to explain clearly.  Just after he finished speaking, this man started wailing again. Kira Yoshi was mentally disturbed by his howling at the top of his voice. Who would have thought that this seven-foot tall man who was so powerful in Kanto on the battlefield that he was killing people without any calculation would actually look like this?  The little baby cried with snot and tears like a dead mother.  "Stop crying! Look at what you look like. Stop crying and listen to me!" Saito Asanobu stopped crying immediately. He pulled out an embroidered handkerchief from nowhere and wiped it on his face randomly a few times, using his low and hoarse voice.  He said in a broken voice: "Didn't I tell the town official about this two months ago? It's not because Ah Ju gave birth to a pair of twin girls! They have been saying that twin girls are unlucky these past few months! Ah Ju  Ju is depressed these days, but he doesn¡¯t want to commit suicide!¡± Ji Liangyi frowned: ¡°You are talking about your precious daughters! I know about this, and I asked Ahu to bring a gift.  Looking at the two little princesses of the Saito family, Ahu told Yu that these two little princesses are very beautiful and cute, and they are not like you, so why are twins unlucky? " "They say that twins are unlucky.  The same goes for women" "Wait a minute!" Ji Liangyi roared murderously: "Who told them? I want to tell them who is so bold.  "Isn't it a sin to gossip behind your back?" "" Saito Asanobu didn't dare to speak this time. He didn't dare to say who it was, but Kira Yoshitoki could guess it, 80% of the time.  It's those idle bastards from Echigo who are talking mean words again.  Thinking of this, Kira Yoshi's face suddenly darkened: "It's those bastards who are talking too much, right? Can't you find out if you don't tell me? Just wait, I can catch all these bastards in less than half a day.  Dare to talk about Sister Aju¡¯s daughter, and even hurt Sister Aju¡¯s death. Is this the general of the town? Huh!??There seems to be no control over words and deeds.  " Saito Asanobu subconsciously followed up. At that time, facing the sharp eyes like knives, he quickly lowered his head and muttered: "They don't dare to talk about the mayor. Besides, this is an unintentional mistake. If it really hurts the town because of the minister's housework,  The reputation of the governor is not good. I, Chao Xin, am not a person who does not know good and evil. There are advantages and disadvantages to doing this. The disadvantage is that Aju will be burdened with greater criticism, and she will definitely live a very unhappy life.  .  ¡± Saito Asanobu¡¯s last sentence hit home Kira Yoshi¡¯s key point. He knew sister Aju¡¯s temperament very well. A silly girl with a rough personality likes to live a simple and peaceful life. Such punishment will not help solve the problem.  , on the contrary, it will make things more complicated. The family members of the punished samurai may spread more rumors, making her bear a psychological pressure for no reason, and she will also have to bear the heavy burden of Kira Yoshitoki's adopted sister. Anti-mutant one  Ji Liangyi was silent for a long time and sighed: "You are right, I can't do this. I have to consider the opinions of the retainers and warriors, and the burden on Sister Aju's heart, but the person who should be punished is clearly.  Not being able to take action is just like Yu's ups and downs experience in the past few years. How many times should I take action but can't because of such and such scruples? In troubled times, people have to be bound by the shackles of the old rules left over from this prosperous age, which makes me unhappy.  , unhappy, this is troubled times, this is reality!  " "Mr. Zhenfu" "I'm fine, I'm just expressing my feelings Let's talk about your business. It's very good for sister Aju to give birth to twin girls. This is the blessing accumulated by your Saito family for generations.  It's not an unlucky thing. I don't believe in the legends of evil ghosts and demons. One of the twins must die or both twins must die. These are all superstitious nonsense. Pointing to a stone and saying it is a god, pointing to a tree.  The big tree is said to be a god. Even cats and dogs can become gods without fear that Gao Tianyuan will be overcrowded!  Why can't they have a twin god when they come up with so many gods?  " "Gong Zhenfu!  Please be careful what you say!  Saito Asanobu was so frightened that he trembled. How could he imagine that Kiragi would spit out the entire Shinto religion with just one mouthful? Rumors such as the twins being the incarnation of demons are also said to come from Shintoism and folk rural villages.  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not, but they all believe what the priest said (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
