Pillars of the Wu family

() In the past half a month, Kansuke Yamamoto didn't mention inviting him to watch military training. Of course, Kira Manmatsumaru is not interested in going to watch military training in hot weather. Except for the daily lesson teaching, Kansuke Yamamoto is always inside and out The outsider is busy with work, and he doesn't know how many things he has to be busy, and he always comes and goes without a trace.

Of course, the busier Okochi Nobusada is not only busy with the autumn harvest in his own territory, but also supervises the payment of the autumn harvest of the Kira family. Abundant but not flooding, according to Okochi Nobusada's preliminary estimate, the Kira family's annual tribute is roughly equivalent to [-] kanwen.

This is the algorithm of the Yonggao system. It is not that the Kira family can really collect so much money. It is roughly equivalent to [-] kanwen rice, mountain delicacies, and seafood. In recent years, Kira Wansong Wan has been promoting it. Soybean planting, as well as simple fertilizer application, although he was too young to be obstructed by his family members and unable to personally supervise, but it also had some effects, such as a steady increase in grain production. Previously, the statistics were less than [-] yuan, and the annual salary was also low. It fluctuates around [-] guanwen, and the production has increased by one-eighth this year.

The family of Saijo Kira’s family received 3 kanwen, and they were able to receive offerings for so many years because of Japan’s harsh tax rates from ancient times to the present. There are more than [-] people who are semi-subordinate, and of course there is a lot of water in them. For example, in Bihai County, there are some people who go to the Oda family, and in Erda County, many people belong to the Matsudaira family, and there are also many people who simply go to the Imagawa family. The actual control power is less than [-] Guanwen.

The ones that are really controlled by the Kira family themselves are the direct leaders of 3 kanwen. Most of the direct territories are in Bandou County and part of Bihai County. This is because of the sharp decline of the Kira family. His father Kira more than 30 years ago When Yiyao first took charge of housekeeping, the Kamikirara family actually controlled half of the Mikawa country, and the family directly received more than [-] kanwen, and also controlled part of the territory of the Yuanjiang country. The income was definitely not much worse than that of the rich man Oda Nobuhide.

The Shimokirara family is roughly the same as the Yimen Soling family. Except for Tojo Castle in Hatazu County, most of the territories are in Nukada, Takarai County and other territories close to Mikawa Bay. The fertile land in the Yahagi River Basin is just because of the initial unification of the two Kira, Wan Songmaru and his half-brother Kira Yoshian haven't figured out how to deal with the relationship.

The relationship between Kira Wansongmaru and his elder brother is very delicate. He is obviously the second son of a family leader, but his father adopted him as the heir of the Shimo Kira family, and then his father married a princess from the middle court family from Kyoto and gave birth. Wan Songmaru easily seized the Kira family business, and it is impossible to say that Kira Yoshian has no resentment.

Kira Yoshian is five years older than Wan Songmaru. He is a samurai in the eight classics of Yuanfu. From the late Heian period, the custom of the samurai family is to treat 13-year-old children as adults, such as the first nine years of war in the late Heian period. In the book, Minamoto Laiyi, the second generation pillar of Hanoi Genji, who was the general guarding the government at the time, beheaded and killed Abe Chiyo, who was only 13 years old and showed bravery on the battlefield.

It was more common in the Genpei era. For example, Genji, a famous general in Hanoi, who was very active in the Hoyuan Rebellion, was exiled to Kyushu by his father Yuan Weiyi at the age of 13, and then died in the Heiji Rebellion at the age of 13. Minamoto Laichao was captured at the age of six in Kyoto, and was later changed to exile in Izu country, and then the Kamakura shogunate rose.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiliang Wansongwan was too young, the retainers wouldn't mind giving him Yuanfu first according to the ancient method, but it's a pity that he is only nine years old, and his age disadvantage can't be reversed. As the governor of the family, he is also unable to restrain the Xia Kira family. What is even more worrying is that someone in the Xia Kira family will use their blood to make a fuss, so they can only be so stalemate.

Okochi Nobusada is very busy, but no matter how busy he is, he never forgets to take time out to supervise Kira Mansatsumaru's studies every few days, perhaps because he is worried that he will waste his knowledge. The knowledge contained in hundreds of books is more painful than being tortured. Kira Manmatsumaru thinks that this cannot go on, and if he continues to educate him, he will become a nerd or a nerd sooner or later, but what should he do?Kyoto?Kira Wansongwan shook his head, it was a sacred place of Japanese culture, and his two brushes were really not enough to see it.

At the end of July, the Kira family welcomed a guest who had expected it for a long time. The Bodhi Temple of the Kira family, the head of the Mikawa Kingdom Anguo Zen Temple, Nishiyama Zongyan, he also brought a letter from Taiyuan Xuezhai as expected, and went to Kansuke Yamamoto Under the witness of Okochi Nobusada, Kira Manmatsumaru opened the clay seal and read the exhibition letter.

It didn't take long for him to open the letter of less than [-] characters, and handed the letter paper to Okochi Nobusada and Yamamoto Kansuke, and Okochi Nobusada couldn't help reading: "To Your Highness Kira Miyakata: Today the world is chaotic and everything is withering, The Suruga Imagawa Jibu Palace guards Junyuan and guards the seaway... This time Owari Oda Nobuhide broke into Mikawa without guarding the state border, wantonly destroying the land of Mikawa. My Imagawa family intends to support the great cause of the shogunate and calm down the chaotic Mikawa, so we will go out after the autumn harvest Anjo, Todun invites His Royal Highness Kira to go out together to subdue the bandits of Owari, and Imagawa Jibu will welcome you with their shoes upside down..."

After reading the letter, the room fell into a brief silence. Nishiyama Sonobu held the rosary in his hand and meditated. Okochi Nobusada seemed to be a little unable to turn around. His face turned red and then paled while holding the letter. After a while, he asked: "This letter... Shimo Kiraden also received it? What did Shimo Kiraden say?"

"Shimo Kiraden was very angry, so he tore up the letter from his senior brother on the spot, threatening to be at odds with the Imagawa family. .

Okochi Nobusada heaved a sigh of relief, rubbed his stiff cheeks, and said, "So that's the case, if this is the case, it seems that our family should also..."

"My family should think carefully about it again! But His Highness Ma Shou will send Master Zongyan back first, and this matter needs to be seriously discussed at the evaluation meeting." Kira Wansongwan directly interrupted him, and this topic should not be concluded at this time , otherwise the evaluation meeting would be meaningless, Okochi Nobusada also immediately remembered this incident, secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and hurriedly got up to send Zen Master Nishiyama Zongyan away.

After a while, Okochi Nobusada went back to the castle tower, picked up the letter and read it several times, lamenting: "Imakawa Jibu still wants to attack my family. I don't know how the Imagawa family's first father of the mother country feels about this matter."

"Probably will be rejoicing! It is a great honor to be defeated by the rank and file. My Kira family will soon become the Imagawa family's retainer. Maybe the main family will also be under the auspices of Imagawa Yoshimoto! I wonder if he will deprive the main family What about the common characters that have been passed down from generation to generation?" Kira Wansongmaru curled his lips and gently fanned the folding fan, making the old-fashioned writer's face turn pale and his whole body tremble.

"This is the next step! This is a violation of the samurai tradition! My Kira family has been a powerful Ashikaga family since the Kamakura period, and the Suruga Imagawa family is just a branch family that followed the Ashikaga Takashi who waited for the temple to rise. We must not let him Defile the reputation of my Kira family! Absolutely not!" Okochi Nobusada's complexion was terrifying, his expression was distorted, and his voice was hoarse. It was completely different from the image of a refined and stern elder that he usually saw. Kira Manmatsumaru admired his Jing Concerned about the state of the mind.

"Then in this way, there is only one way to fight!" Kansuke Yamamoto pondered for a moment, and then analyzed: "The number of soldiers that can be conscripted in this family is about 500 people, and there are also 500 foot light trained by the ministers. The Kira family is directly under the two Hundreds of Royal Horse Huizhong, a total of 500 people, with [-] people against the Imagawa family with an army of [-], resolutely resisting with a caged city guard. According to common sense, it should be able to last until next year's spring broadcast. If you are lucky, you may be able to persist In the summer, Taiyuan Xuezhai is just an extraordinary and vulgar general, and it will be unknown if he uses Tiaolue."

"If you adjust the strategy, the people of the powerful clan under the family will definitely be shaken! Once the Imagawa family's soldiers point directly at Saijo Castle, most of the people in the Uda County will definitely scatter and defect... No! As long as the Imagawa family issues a military order to go to Saijo Castle, Uda The county can't be kept anymore. There is a traitor Arakawa Yoshihiro in Bamian Mountain in the north of Bandou, which is equivalent to opening the door to let the Imagawa family come in. After passing the Bamian Mountain, what can the original family do to resist the Imagawa family? How long can the cage city hold on? Maybe? Ten days or less.

Our family may be able to fight the trapped beasts, but Tojo Castle in Shimo-Kirliang will be in trouble. Taiyuan Xuezhai will definitely divide his troops to attack Xia Kira's house. With the current situation, some people from Baofan County in Dongsanhe have openly defected to Imagawa. There are still many people from the country secretly flirting with the Imagawa family. The Imagawa army gathered in Tojo Castle. It is needless to say how the people in the county will choose. If Shimokiliang is attacked, what is the point of defending the cage city? "

This kind of deduction has been done with Yamamoto Kansuke a long time ago. Since the Battle of Azukazaka, there have been countless similar force deduction. The result of each time is that the Imagawa family ended in a complete victory. Assuming that it will eventually face a dead end.

"This...but how can the reputation of the Kira family be allowed to be tarnished by the Imagawa family! Is the owner of the house going to be a puppet bound by the Imagawa Osamu in Sumi?" Okochi Nobuya struggled unwillingly, as if wanting to use cruel The reality reminded him that Pu Dai's retainers and his family governor are like grasshoppers on the same rope. If the Kira family falls, their status will not be guaranteed. The appearance of being monitored and suppressed?

"That's right! How can my family let the family's 300-year-old reputation be ruined in my own hands? I can't bear the name of this unworthy descendant, so my family has to think carefully!" Kira Wansongmaru muttered to himself.
