Pillars of the Wu family

At the evaluation meeting of Kasuga Mountain Castle, Nagao Jinghu said sonorously and forcefully: "If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Only when Shangluo obtains the imperial court and the shogunate's edict can it intervene in Shinano's affairs, so the family decided to go to Shangluo!"

"What the lord said is true! In order to deal with the Takeda family's invasion of Oshinano, my Nagao family must have a righteous name to fight back!" Naoe Mitsuna immediately agreed.

"I agree!" The retainers of the Nagao family had no objections, and it has nothing to do with us if you go to Luo.

"Everyone's understanding, I, Jinghu, will keep it in my heart. Shangluo is to deal with the Takeda family who invaded Shinano! Oshinano and I Echigo are close to each other, Oshinano is unstable, and I Echigo can't feel at ease!" Nagao Jinghu After a moment of silence, he said again: "As long as the Takeda family is defeated and those rebellious Shinano people are wiped out, I, Jinghu, will share all the newly acquired unclaimed land with all the meritorious ministers."

"Okay!" Hojo Takahiro slapped his thigh, jumped up and shouted first, "That's great! I, Takahiro, was the first to agree to fight Shinano... the Takeda family!"

This decision made the Nagao family cheer. These Chinese people fight each other to the death for trivial matters in their own territory all day long. Jinghu can do whatever he wants, not to mention that Nagao Jinghu has repeatedly told the turbulent retainers that this is a righteous war to restore the stability of Shinano. Lunzhi and the crusade order of the shogunate.

This resolution was unanimously approved by all the retainers and the people of the country because Nagao Jinghu announced this order, and then Nagao Jinghu raised an issue on the apportionment of Shangluo's expenses, which caused a lot of controversy.The lord of the countrymen thinks of you going to Shangluo, so go to Luoyang.Why do you have to pay for the showdown?It's not easy for us to get some money after working hard for a year. You, the lord of the country, can't blackmail us.

As a result, the topic couldn't go on. The troubled Nagao Jinghu summoned his trusted and important officials to discuss the matter. Finally, he couldn't find a good solution after many discussions. At this time, a white figure broke in suddenly. Changwei Jinghu couldn't calm down. Hastily scolded: "Hu Ji! How dare you trespass into the evaluation room! Go back quickly!"

Hu Ji glanced at the stunned retainers, and lightly flicked her long hair.Under Nagao Jinghu's scolding, he sat next to him indifferently, and said with a smile: "Master Tianshi Guangyu already knows about my brother's troubles! So I asked Hu Ji to tell my brother that if there is a problem with financial resources, you can contact me at Look for a way on Qingzhu."

"Looking for a way at the Aozuka?" Nagao Jinghu fell into thinking. The Aozuza in Echigo is in charge of Kurata Goro Zaemon. The Kurata family was born as a master of the Ise Shrine. The family has maintained the name Gorozaemon from generation to generation, and the Nagao family manages the business of Aomoza, which is usually not conspicuous.

Speaking of the time when Kurata Gorozaemon was dealing with businessmen.Far more time than dealing with samurai, he is a kind and smooth guy.Except for sending some taxes every month, he almost never appears in Kasugayama Castle, and he doesn't usually go to see him. He is handed over to Kakizaki Kei's family, Naoe Mitsuna, Saito Asanobu, and a few other followers.

But since his master mentioned blue ramie, it was necessary for him to find out the specific situation of blue ramie. After sending someone to investigate, he found that blue ramie was the most profitable thing in Echigo. It is the only textile raw material that can be used in large quantities in medieval Japan, so it has always been the most profitable business.

So Nagao Jinghu found Kurata Gorozaemon and asked him to formulate a new taxation system with the followers, and asked all places in the territory, including customs offices, not to tax green ramie without authorization, and to list the green ramie tax As one of the main taxes listed by the lord, Kurata Gorozaemon has the intention to refute, but in the face of the staring eyes of Nagao Ketora and Echigo fierce generals, he can only curse the barbarians secretly, and then cooperate with them honestly.

Then Nagao Jinghu announced Shangluo, and asked all regions to strictly implement the new green ramie tax system on the grounds that he would not apportion the expenses of Shangluo. The reaction was the most violent, because he had been levying a high tax of [-] Wen on the blue ramie that was loaded by each pack horse in order to make huge profits from it.

"My lord, you can't do this! We and the samurai enjoy the privilege of being guardians! You can't collect taxes at will!" Hearing that Shinano is good for money, Hojo Takahiro was very active. When he heard that he was going to move his own cake, This one immediately changed his face again, really showing off like a chameleon.

But his request cannot be supported by other people, because it is your own benefit and has nothing to do with all of us. Since Changwei Jinghu doesn't want us to share the expenses of Shangluo, why should we oppose him?Don't forget that the apportioned expenses are as high as several thousand guan, including the board and lodging, travel, and donations to the imperial court, the shogunate, and the heads of Wushan for the Shangluo personnel.

And the green ramie tax of Hojo Takahiro Section is a private tax, not a decree of the imperial court or the shogunate, and it has not been approved by Echigo Guardian and Guardian Dai. Therefore, his actions were rightly reprimanded by the followers, and even Keimoto Yasuda, whose branch family was far away in Kitashinano, wrote to persuade him not to fight against the entire Echigo people.

Yasuda Keimoto's earnest persuasion did not get his approval. Hojo Takahiro is a very proud person. He is a descendant of the Oe clan. In terms of origin, his ancestors are much higher than the Anyun Mori family. The fourth male, Oe Jiguang, who was born in Oe Hiromoto, served as the head of the Sagami Mori village. Since then, he changed the name of the Miao to Mori and was called Mori Sakugan. From this, the later Mori clan came into being.

This general supervisor Mori Jiguang was killed in the Miura Rebellion. His fourth son, Mori Emitsu, inherited the post of Mori Zhuang and the title of his father's general supervisor, and then Mori Emitsu He also served as the head of Echigo Sahashizhuang, but with the frequent turmoil in the later period of Kamakura, Mori Emitsu and his eldest son, the general supervisor Moriki, hid in the ground of Echigo Sahashizhuang. In the turmoil, he ran to Anyun's Yoshida Village as a farmer, and thus separated the branch of Anyun's Mori family.

Zuo Jin, the descendant of the direct line, passed on the guardian of the family, and then passed on the guardian of the family to Dan Hou, the guardian of Maori Shiyuan.Maori Shi Yuansheng had three sons.The eldest son, Zuo Jin, will supervise Mao Liyi Gao.The second son, Dan Hou, guarded Mori Zhiliang, and the third son of the descendant uterus, the young assistant Mori Xianguang, three brothers.

Because the eldest son Mori Taka had no heir, his younger brother Tangomori Mori Zhiliang was his adopted son and inherited the position of head of the Mori family. Hojo Castle was built in the north of Zhuang, so it was called Hojo Mori, and the lineage passed down by his younger brother Mori Kenhiro was the Yasuda Mori family.

As for the Anyun Maoli family, it is Shiqin's eldest son, Maoli Zuojin, who will be the guardian of the chastity.Zhenqin then passed on the third son Mori Mutsu Mori Shigeru, and Qin Shigeru then passed on to Bitchu Shoushiqin, and then developed the Anyun Mori clan. Compared with his Hojo Mori clan, it can only be regarded as a split family, because the Hojo Takahiro clan can The Maori family uses the word "Guang" as the taboo, while his branch family, the Yasuda family, uses the word "Yuan" as the taboo, which is the same as the Anyun Maori family.

So Maori Takahiro has always been very confident in himself, definitely not much worse than Nagao Jinghu who was born in the Heira clan, not to mention that his military flag is still a big ant strutting, and he has always been famous for his bravery and bravery. seven counties.I have always been not convinced by the Kakizaki Kei family, who is called the number one fierce general in the seven counties of Echigo, and of course I am not very convinced by Nagao Keihu.

Of course, Changwei Jinghu didn't know this.He collected the green ramie tax of the year and obtained thousands of pennies of profit. Such a huge sum of money not only moved him, but also moved the followers, so this made him more determined to carry out reforms, and also I am even more eager to see what kind of person Kira Yoshitoshi who advised him is, and what the two counties under his governance are like.

Before departure, the measurement meaning announced a new order, that is, the guardianship of the Goryakusho, and the issuance of the "Royal Order" to the townspeople near Naoetsu. Among them, the regulations stipulate that the towns in Fuchi belong directly to the guardian, and Naoetsu and Kashiwazaki will be collected. Guardian, Urahara-gun generation, the lord of Sanjo Castle, Sanyoshi Iyo Moromasahisa, was transferred to Kashiwazaki Minato, and his son Yamayoshi Sonjiro served as the side-cloth of Nagao Keigora, named Sanyoshi Sonjiro Toyomori.

Yamayoshi Masahisa was very active in this appointment. The Yamayoshi clan was originally the official of the Nagao family in the Fuchu. It is also the Sanjo Castle, but as the Nagao family became the guardian, the Sanjo Castle was handed over to the Sanyoshi family, and this time it was just returned to the original owner and brought the Sanjo Castle back.

Moreover, this choice is not bad for Yamayoshi Masahisa. His family has limited influence in Urahara County, and they can't suppress the wealthy families of Chuetsu and Xiaetsu if they have an empty name in exchange for Kashiwazaki. How could Minato not be happy to pursue this fat vacancy, and Urahara Commander was handed over to Akata Castle City Lord, Echigo Zhongkui Saito Shimono Morinobu.

At the same time, Nagao Jinghu ordered one of his own sects, the Nagao Gonshiro Jingqiu of the Sanjo Nagao family, to serve as the Sanjo City Lord and guard the most important Shinano River Basin in the Chuo-etsu area. This is equivalent to forming a stable equilateral Triangle, the three corners are Naoe Mizuna's and Itabajo Castle, Honjo Shino's Tochio Castle, and Nagao Kageaki's Sanjo Castle.

This will further strengthen the control over the two counties of Mishima and Koshi in the Chuetsu region, and make new adjustments to Urahara County. In the county, the lord of Tenjinyama Castle, the lord of Kokuni, Mizu Laijiu, will serve as the second officer of Nishiurahara, and the former Jinjin recruit of Kasugayama Castle Wei Yijiu, returned to his hometown to serve as the second officer of Dongpuyuan County. As powerful nationals in Puyuan County, the two of them have a greater advantage in being responsible for attracting the nobles in the same county, and can further divide the influence of Yang Beizhong from within.

Oguni Yoriku's Tenjinyama Castle is half-surrounded by Sanjo Castle and Yosaka Castle, and the backside happens to be by the sea. In this way, it is necessary to bow to Keihu Nagao, and it is also a good idea to appoint him as the second envoy of Nishiurabara County. This method of wooing can increase the influence of the small country Laijiu in Xipuyuan County.

Jinjin recruit Wei Yijiu's wife was Nagao Jinghu's wet nurse, and she herself served as the leader of the police force in Kasuga Mountain City for a long time. Because of this relationship, she has always been trusted by Nagao Jinghu and asked him to serve as Dongpuyuan County. It is also the most reassuring choice to go deep into Xiayue's interior.

After a round of adjustments, Changwei Jinghu embarked on a trip to Shangluo with dozens of entourages. Before leaving, there was an episode. Changwei Huji also made a fuss about going to Kyoto. Zao Ying could see it, which made Nagao Jinghu feel very speechless, but he couldn't deal with this little girl so he could only agree, and then there were Nagao Tora and his little maids in the team.
