Pillars of the Wu family

Nagao Jinghu blinked his eyes for a long time before he realized what a strange system he was talking about, and said in disbelief: "So Kira's retainers really won't make trouble? It's too difficult to have no territory. Understood, they should unite and defeat you...Why can you sit here so peacefully and talk about the past and the present with me?"

Changwei Jinghu couldn't understand the thoughts of the lost land lord. In his impression, the land and the warriors were two points connected together. How could a warrior not want a territory?Since the establishment of the system of imperial grace and public service in the Kamakura period, the samurai family has obliged to serve the public to obtain the lord's favor as the only appeal. The samurai who lost their land died of poverty and poverty. The imperial family who lost their land became more and more dissatisfied with the power in Kamakura The Hojo family finally united under the banner of the Ashikaga family to overthrow Kamakura and establish the Muromachi shogunate.

As for subconsciously ignoring some historical facts in the middle, don’t worry about it. Nagao Jinghu will not admit the existence of the Southern Dynasty. This kind of moral madness is always different from others. He especially likes to emphasize things like martial law and order. This is very similar to Yoshitoshi Kira, but he would never come up with such a heaven-defying thinking of not giving the land knowledge and action.

Yoshihiro Kira smiled softly, and asked, "Why are you making trouble? They followed me into Kyoto to serve as the Duke, and most of the new senators recruited by Omi and Kyoto didn't have land. Why are they still making trouble when I give them a generous salary? Is it more advantageous to go to farm than to practice collective management of farmland? I can set aside [-] square meters of land at will and agree to grow rice, soybeans, or whatever I want, but can the lord of the country do it?

How many samurai will share this land in one hundred town steps?There may be seven or eight lords.There may also be a dozen or more waiters to share.And they won't be farming the land.Instead, they gather together to build cities and villages, and a new piece of land is dismembered like a dog gnaws. How much land is actually used for farming? "

Nagao Jinghu nodded and said, "That's right! Japan's land is scarce and food is scarce. It is indeed a bad habit to waste so much land and build a city indiscriminately, but what should we do? Isn't our samurai family doing this for hundreds of years?"

"It's not just a waste, it's a squandering of the few resources we have! When did our samurai family start to build a city indiscriminately? What is the custom of our samurai family? In the nearby residence hall. At the end of the Kamakura period, the evil party Nanmu Zhengcheng set a precedent for building a city, and it was not until the current situation that there are as many city walls as dogs.

The lands of Chinese lords are almost not connected together. One piece is east and the other is one piece. People of different affiliations often have disputes or even fights over issues such as land occupation, new field development, and water distribution. Tanzhengdian must know this kind of land-related issues every year There are the most lawsuits, and if it is not handled properly, it will even affect the stability of the family, but what if it is not divided?The lord of the country distributes money and food to support these soldiers, so there is no need to worry about these problems? "

Long-tailed Tiger Ji finally couldn't help but interjected and asked: "But what about those people who have fiefdoms? How could they give up their lands? Even Pu Dai's retainers would not agree to such a ridiculous thing?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree! This is not forcing them to agree, giving them the right to choose is up to them to choose." Ji Liangyi was waiting for this question.Unexpectedly, it was Huya girl who asked, so she said confidently: "Let those unwilling retainers and Chinese people continue to follow the rules of the military service account! Anyway, the warriors who have land and those who don't have land will be treated very well. The difference. After a long time, there will always be some small wealthy families and land servants who will be moved, and then they will naturally give up their land and join the Nagao family."

In the next few days, the two of them spent almost no sleep and food discussing various issues, and even used examples to deliberate. The general concept of Echigo was also understood by Yoshitoki Kira, and then he seemed to remember something, a place called Niigata a few years later. It seems that it is still the second largest grain producing area in Japan, second only to Hokkaido, which is still called Ezo. That is to say, Echigo should be a big granary, so how big is the room for manipulation?

Echigo has a more powerful samurai group. The reason why the Nagao family is facing a chronic illness that is difficult to cure for the Chinese people is nothing more than lack of a reputation. A sense of trust, and a large number of Chinese people have the same family style as the Nagao family, and even have similar backgrounds. These samurai think that your Nagao family can be the leader of the country. Why can't I be the leader of the country?

Since ancient times, it has been said that there is a group of people who are not worried about the situation, and there is such a group of jealous Chinese people making trouble, it is not surprising that the Nagao family will not be able to support the Echigo people, and there is another group of retainers who formerly guarded the Uesugi faction. Resentment, full of anger and hatred towards the Nagao family in Xiakeshang.

There are three Nagao in the front of the Nagao family, and Ueda Nagao in the back. They are not too tame to the Nagao family. Even Nagao Jinghu's brother-in-law, Nagao Jingxin of Suji Nagao's family, couldn't help but have this idea. It can be seen how many waves are hidden under the calm surface of Echigo.

All this is not a problem for the Kira family. The problem facing the Kira family is the dictatorship of the shogunate. They act as firefighters and fight with the Miyoshi family again and again like trying to drive ducks to the shelves. An undefeated general, who dares to claim to be an eternal undefeated general?Even the famous generals in history have to be cautious when they fight, the fear is that if they make a wrong calculation, they will lose everything.

Kira Yoshishishi was like a tightrope walker on a cliff, carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders but unable to move forward. The several secret weapons that the Kira family relied on to maintain their victory were also fully exposed in battles. The Kira family had no cards What will happen if you take the two counties of Omi with 10,000+ stones and go to the Miyoshi family with millions of stones?

Even if the Miyoshi family loses a few times, they still have the strength to make a comeback, but what will happen if the Kira family loses once?That end may only decline, or even perish.

If Kira's family is defeated, the shogunate will follow suit, and the government will continue to escape. At that time, the beloved Gongfangden Ashikaga Yoshito may not remember that Kira Yoshishi did a great job in protecting the shogunate, but will only remember why he hated him. He was able to win in the past, but now he has lost all the games, even if he is lucky enough to survive.The end will not be much better than Harumoto Hosokawa.

as early as a year ago.Kira Yoshishi has been thinking about the way forward.To beat Omi is to die. Sasaki Liujiao's family is an important minister of the shogunate, and he can't move at all when he is a hindsight of the shogunate. The robbery of two counties has already made the Liujiao family feel dissatisfied. A large-scale war broke out, and even forced the Liujiao family to join the Miyoshi family.

What kind of chain reaction will Liujiao's sudden defection cause?First of all, the [-] army of the Liujiao family is not a joke, and Liujiao Yixian is not a good Changqing.Sakamoto and Otsu are right in front of your eyes. Watching the changes every day can be said to be thoroughly researched. What secret weapon does the Kira family have to play with the Liujia family?

Asai Hisamasa, who had long been resentful towards Kira Yoshishi, will definitely stand up immediately, and then beat the younger ones to the old ones. The Asakura family will definitely be involved, and the Miyoshi family will definitely take advantage of it. Maintain the ruling system in Kyoto.

When Ji Liangyi was definitely blamed, he was ordered to make an apology. In the end, the mutton was not eaten and caused a commotion, and the world would no longer praise Ji Liangyi for being wise and powerful.At that time, if he offends the Liujia family, his right to control waterways in Lake Biwa and Yodogawa will also be destroyed.The Liujiao family can incite the people of Jiahe to wantonly destroy the waterway trade.

Even to win over the water in Lake Biwa and the Yodo River to use for himself, as long as he is given the status of a samurai, he must be flocking to him. Can the Kira family fight him?At that time, the reputation he built up so hard will be completely over.

Although the unicorn son of the Asai family, Asai Nagamasa, has not grown up yet, the Asakura family is stronger than 20 years later. It is a good idea to wait for a few years until Asakura Sodi dies, but Asai Nagamasa also He will grow up with it, and what's more terrible is that Oda Nobunaga will not stop. After a few years, it will be time for the barrel. How many years does he have to waste?

Yamashiro State is the main income of the imperial court and the shogunate's manor. It was finally snatched from Miyoshi's family. Whoever dares to move it will be in a hurry. So where can he go?Attack Yamato across Omi?The more than 300 Yamato people are not vegetarians, and the forces of Hatakeyama, Liujiao, and Beibata are infiltrating behind them, not to mention that Yamato has not been guarded by Yamato for more than [-] years. If he dares to go, he will die.

Looking around, I found that there is nowhere to expand, and the retainer group may not have much meaning, but as the soul of another world, he passed on to the famous family of this era, and drifted along without doing anything, becoming Oda Nobunaga's Retainer, watching him smash the Ashikaga shogunate and destroy the glory he has insisted on for more than ten years, then what is the point of his fighting?

In history, Miyoshi Changqing died of illness in 1564. As a result, the unsatisfactory Miyoshi trio killed the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiki in 1565, so there was a big change in Kinai, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki went everywhere to ask for support. Finally, I found the story of Oda Nobunaga leading a big devil Shangluo.

In other words, Miyoshi's family can be prosperous for at least 12 years! What will be the result of being unable to expand for 12 years?That would be a terrible disaster!If you don’t expand your influence for three years, your influence will decline, and if you don’t expand Kinai for five years, the attention will decrease. Not to mention the long period of ten years, anything can happen, and Kira Yoshitoshi is tied to Kinai as a firefighter for the shogunate Is it really good for the Kira family?Absolutely not!

Regardless of the long-term things that will happen more than ten years later, just say that the Kira family has not acted for a few years, the halo on the Kira family will gradually fade, the Miyoshi family will recover from the panic, and the calm Miyoshi family will take Kira seriously. At that time, he will find that what the Kira family is proud of is relying on the name of the shogunate to fight back.

This is equivalent to saying that as long as the Miyoshi family does not take the initiative to break the covenant of not standing with the shogunate, the Kira family will not have the slightest way to attack the Miyoshi family. Clean up all the opponents little by little, and when they move to Shangluo, [-] or even [-] troops will gather in Kyoto.

If it really got to that point, it would be better to have the cheek to agree to Oda Nobunaga's request to be his retainer, at least Oda Nobunaga can tolerate himself at that time, at least he will still remember that friendship... In more than ten years , when a generation of hero Oda Demon King appeared in Kinki, can he still accommodate a famous shogunate under the old system?In other words, he wouldn't do it!

So where can he go?Now the shogunate is reluctantly relying on years of decadence to gradually become rich, but all of this is based on the cultural and martial arts of Kira Yoshitoshi. Except for the sharing of the Yamashiro Kingdom's imperial materials with the imperial court, there is no trace of territory at all.What's the use of asking Ashikaga Yoshito for an empty guardian?

For example, Tanba, Kii and other nearby countries did not follow the order of the shogunate at all.Their countrymen formed their own system.Even if the shogunate comes to protect it, there is no extra territory, let alone the Miyoshi family behind the Tamba country, and the Kii country is more complicated. The Nerai Temple, Koyasan, Kumano Sanzan, Kii Zagazhong, and the Hatakeyama family, these forces are more than one. Difficult to deal with, the shogunate has no effect on these local forces, because most of these local tyrants are not samurai.

There is also no need to worry too much about the safety of the shogunate. It is not a day or two that the people of Rokkaku and Hatakeyama are highly valued when they envy and envy Kirayoshi.Not to mention that Liujiao Yixian also had a brother-in-law, Hosokawa Harumoto, and his younger sister who were confined in the Pumen Temple. If such a big revenge would not be avenged, he, the governor of the Liujiao family, would be useless enough.

Now the development of the shogunate has also entered a bottleneck period, and there is no actual influence after leaving the Yamashiro country. If Sakamoto had a big leak and was picked up by Kira Yoshitoki, he probably hid in Tibet with the shogunate. Being envied and hated by various forces such as the Enryakuji Temple in Mount Hiei, the Rokkaku family, and the Asai family, it can be said that the development of the Kira family is difficult, frightening, and walking on thin ice!

Not only have to fight against the powerful enemy Miyoshi.It also needs to be with the Rokkaku family within the shogunate system, and Hieizan Enryakuji Temple outside the system.Even the enemy battles hidden in all aspects, whether open or dark, have finally exhausted the remaining potential until now, and no longer consider the retreat, they can only waste time in a corner.

But all this was completely different just now, and now there is a great opportunity in front of him, as long as he can convince Nagao Jinghu that he can reach the sky in one step, and get the chance to enter Echigo with a legitimate name, how can this keep him calm?

"Opportunities are rare, time waits for me!" In just a few minutes, Yoshitomo Kira thought through all of this, and he was more determined to leave. Since he can leave Mikawa and take root in Kinai, he can also leave Kinai for Echigo. People go to high places, water flows to low places, and trees move the dead to move the living. It is time for him to move forward.

After thinking through all this, let's look at the Echigo problem is it really a problem?He has no contacts in Kansai, Kyushu, and Shikoku, but he has known Nagao Jinghu in front of him for a long time. He has been a pen pal for several years and helped him solve a lot of potential troubles. The love that Jing Hu owed him was the best opportunity.

Thoughts are like boiling water, rushing uncontrollably, and thousands of thoughts flashed across his mind in just a daze, making him immediately think of the crux that was difficult to solve at first, so when his head was still turning rapidly At this moment, he subconsciously blurted out: "I'm going to Echigo!"

Nagao Jinghu, who was sitting quietly in thought, was startled suddenly, and repeated: "Wuweidian, do you mean to go to Echigo?"

"...Oops! Why did I say it! Why did I just blurt it out? What would Nagao Jinghu think when he guessed what was in his heart? Stealing the foundation of Echigo Nagao's family? But my ambition is not here, even if Going to Echigo is also mutually beneficial, but how should I explain it?" At this moment, Yoshihiro Kira fell into regret and confusion.

"Wuweidian is not teasing me!" Nagao Jinghu's eyes were burning like a branding iron falling on Kira Yoshitoki's face, making his scalp tingle for a while, and his tone was suspicious, as if he wanted to explore the truth of this sentence.

"Why do I want to go to Echigo? Why not go back to Mikawa, but to Echigo? What can I do when I go back to Mikawa? Can Imakawa Yoshimoto accommodate me? What will Oda Nobunaga think? Do you want to live a life of oppression? No! I can't do this! I must go to Echigo, but how should I go to Echigo?" He couldn't breathe under the weight of the question.

At this moment, he thought of many old things about Mikawa Kingdom, the dictating and powerful influence of the elders of the family tree of Kami-Kira, the sloppy nature of the people of Mikawa, Kira Yoshian who was circled by Yoshimoto Imagawa as a canary, and the bulldog raised by the Imagawa family. The Mikawa Matsudaira family, the confidant Mikawa Izumo, the Owari Oda Nobunaga, and the most terrible enemy Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"Sanhe can't go back! I just said a few years ago that I want to base myself in Kyoto, and even moved my Bodhi Temple to Miaoyun Temple in Jiantian. If I go back, some people will think that I am returning to my hometown, but even more that I am purely here to make trouble! What's more, Sanhe Kingdom is now The Imagawa family's territory, several key cities are guarded and monitored by the Imagawa family, will I be a retainer when I go back, or will I rebel immediately?

Otherwise, I am a minister!I am a dignified Ashikaga Kamisaburo going to be Imagawa Yoshimoto's retainer?I can not do it!But if I rebel, how many people in Sanhe Kingdom will support me?Will the genealogists who live a comfortable life like me as an ambitious house governor?Does my pride allow them to tell me what to do?If not allowed, what are the consequences of eradicating them? "

For a split second he thought of many terrible hypotheses.Sweat unknowingly drenched the clothes.His face was as pale as paper for a while.After a while, it was as black as iron, and it was obvious that he was engaged in a very fierce ideological struggle.

"Down to Echigo, do you want to appreciate the landscapes of my Hokuriku region? Or... have other ideas?" Nagao Jinghu's intuition is very keen, and he noticed that Kira Yoshishi's complexion was different in the blink of an eye, and his body couldn't help When leaning forward slightly to press down on Kira Yoshi, there was also a bit of a tentative taste in his tone: "What kind of downward method is the descending Echigo of Wuwei Palace?"

"It doesn't matter! In any case, I have nowhere to go, and denying it will only make him more suspicious. The only option is to fight!" While Nagao Jinghu was suspicious, Yoshitoki Kira also made a decision: "This sounds a little bit Sorry, I want to bring the Kira family to Echigo together! That is to say, I want to bring the essence of the Kira family to Echigo, leaving only some retainers in the two counties of Omi."

"What? This is absolutely impossible!" Nagao Jinghu accidentally smashed the teacup, and the boiling tea spilled all over the ground. At this moment, the dragon of Echigo lost control of his emotions, facing this noble man who had helped him many times The famous samurai family roared: "Do you know what you are talking about? Bringing the essence of the Kira family to Echigo is to annex me Echigo? Did you plan all this a few years ago? I really read it wrong is you!"

"No! Absolutely not like this! I was not such a despicable person when I was in Ashikaga! I am a famous Genji family, the Goichimon of the Ashikaga General's family. How could I steal your territory! Even if you give it to me, I will not take it Every penny! I need land and I will take it with my own hands!

It is only necessary to defeat those rebels who are on the fence and are on the fence.Confiscating their territory, today I can win the land of two counties, and tomorrow I can still get the land of two countries!You can do it, I can do it!If you can't do it, I can do it! "Kirara Yoshishi held his head high, and addressed a warrior who was unwilling to succumb to fate. Every word he uttered was as hard as steel and as hot as a flame. His strong fighting spirit and unyielding spirit were deeply imprinted on the long tail. In Jing Hu's mind.

"Hahaha... that's right! This is the Kira Yoshitoki I admire! This is the Hanoi Genji in my heart!" Nagao Jinghu looked up to the sky and smiled. He has rarely been so happy for many years. After laughing, his eyes locked tightly With his firm eyes, he roared very domineeringly: "The Wu family should be what you are now! Looking forward and looking backward, indecision will not bring victory, only fighting and fighting without forgetting death, experiencing the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield, Only then can we forge the backbone of the samurai family that will never collapse!"

"So I'm going to Echigo! I'm going to Echigo even more! I have to go to Echigo too! Kyoto is a big turning point for me, so Echigo will be another turning point for my rebirth from the ashes!"

"I appreciate your firmness and unyielding! But I can tell you clearly, no! Absolutely not! Even if I, Jing Hu, die here, I won't let you take the next step!" , completely abandoning the taboo of respectful titles, without the slightest dignity of aristocrats.

"Why not? Tell me your reasons!" Yoshitoki Kira still refused to admit defeat.

Nagao Jinghu sneered, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes: "Because I am the lord of Echigo, I have my relatives, I have my genealogical family, and they will not accept you, and neither will I." I accept you! You will not be allowed to use my Echigo shell to be reborn from the ashes, and step on the shoulders of my Nagao family! This is absolutely impossible!"

Nagao Jinghu used to hate the word "benefit" the most, but after the enlightenment of Kira Yoshishi's letters, he gradually understood that today's troubled times are a world of iron-clad human relationships. The reason why the retainers support the Nagao family is because the Nagao family can maintain theirs. Interest, his eyes seemed to enlighten him to understand this truth when he was laughing at Kirayoshi, but he hurt himself in turn.

"If I remember correctly, you should have made a vow not to marry for life?" Kira Yoshishi also sneered, and said to himself, "How could I be unprepared? The shitty thing about your Nagao family happened a few years ago. The research is thorough, and you still use this to fool me?"

What he was referring to was a public case about Changwei Jinghu. Changwei Jinghu once made an oath to "never have sex with women or meat for life". Of course, alcohol cannot be quit, and people must be killed.

"I know this too?" But Changwei Jinghu didn't think so: "But so what? I have my younger sister and my relatives, and they can all inherit my foundation..."

"Inhale...exhale..." Kira Yoshishishi was trying to calm down his excited emotions. He was so excited just now, he felt as if his blood was all on fire, his whole body was full of blazing energy, and all this was not in vain in the end. Changwei Jinghu was really hooked, and he said the most important sentence, which contained his only trump card that could move Changwei Jinghu.

Trying to calm down the heartbeat to an acceptable range, and returning to the Pianpian noble son's style, he took out the bat fan and said calmly: "That's why Princess Hu Ji will be cultivated as the heir of Tanzheng Hall, and Princess Hu Ji will be trained as the successor of Tanzheng Hall. The only family member who has poured countless painstaking efforts and efforts into it, even going against the retainers to keep Princess Hu Ji's heir status! So what will happen if I marry Princess Hu Ji at the right time?"

"Nani?" Nagao Jinghu's tiger eyes glared with a frightening light, "My Nagao family's daughter cannot be someone else's concubine! No one can let Hu Ji be a concubine!"

After visiting Kinai for a month and making friends with the Gongqing Wu family in Kyoto, he naturally knew that Kira Yoshitoshi was engaged to the princess of the Konoe family, so when he heard the proposal, his first reaction was that he was really crazy. Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake for a moment, he almost exploded on the spot. If it wasn't for the disparity in their identities, Nagao Jinghu really wanted to go up and punch him and make him say such a goddamn thing.

At this time, Changwei Jinghu turned into an angry colorful giant tiger, as majestic as a mountain and as stagnant as a big lake, staring at him as if showing sharp fangs, waiting for an opportunity to intimidate those who angered him.

"Is the side room not allowed at all? What about the main room? Or is it possible to have two main rooms?" Yoshihiro Kira was speechless for a moment, really hard on his IQ. Thinking of marriage can promote the effective fusion of both parties.

But he ignored how deep the relationship between the brother and sister had been for ten years, enough for him to resolutely support his younger sister as the heir regardless of the threat of the genealogical retainer group. How could such a brother, a man, endure his only younger sister as a concubine?

"In short! It is absolutely not allowed to be a concubine! Even His Highness Wuwei, you are not allowed! Absolutely not!" Changwei Jinghu looked very angry, and left angrily with a bamboo stick.

"It's really a family of tigers!" Kira Yoshishi was dripping with cold sweat, and he was right when he casually said that Changwei Jinghu is a tiger, and his younger sister Huji is also a tiger. frightening.

"Oh! What should I do about this!" Yoshitomo Kira fell into distress. (To be continued..)

ps: Please pay attention to tigers.
