Pillars of the Wu family

() "Shut up! This is not a charity, let alone a gift. It is for the rescue of the victims. Did you afford the rations and treat the wounded?" Changwei Jinghu laughed angrily, shook his head and reprimanded: "No In my Nagao family, mentioning the nobleman of Kyoto, Wuweidian is the sister-in-law of my Nagao family, not an outsider!"

Hearing about the sister-in-law of the Nagao family, Honjo Shigeru became even more excited, twisting his neck and shouting loudly: "My lord! Then I am even more dissatisfied! Why should my princess from the Nagao family marry a samurai from Kyoto? Isn’t there any dignified man in the Seven Commanderies of Echigo who is worthy of Princess Hu Ji? I’m the first one to dissatisfy!”

"That's right! I have thousands of sons and daughters in the seven counties of Echigo, and I can't find an excellent warrior who is suitable for Princess Tiger Princess."

"We all love Princess Hu Ji!"

"That's right! Princess Huji is the most beautiful woman in the hearts of our warriors, with long hair fluttering and mighty, she is simply a role model for us warriors!"

"Bah, bah, bah! Don't talk nonsense! It's obviously Princess Hu Ji, who is beautiful and cute, with long straight black hair that makes people's hearts flutter. If I can marry Princess Hu Ji, hehehe..."

"Looking at your crooked appearance, you still want to marry Princess Tiger Hime? If you want to marry Princess Tiger Hime, it should be a handsome man like me, Nabenosuke!"

"What are you talking about? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"

"Come on! Who is afraid of whom? Shorty!" The scolding in the Echigo dialect drew the laughter of a group of samurai. Their unscrupulous behavior certainly aroused the dissatisfaction of the Kira family. I can't take it anymore.

"Shut up! Contradict the famous shogunate family, and roar at the evaluation meeting! Arrest all those who laughed and scolded and frolicked just now! Tie them to a tree and let them reflect!" With an order, hundreds of warriors from the Nagao family's banner were like wolves He rushed over like a tiger, and knocked down all those who dared to resist, including Hojo Takahiro and Honjo Shigecho, who did not escape.

"My lord, I don't accept it! I don't accept it!" Here they were still shouting, making the rest of the Echigo warriors sigh.

Only then did Yoshishi Kira put away the bat fan, stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, let's continue the evaluation meeting! What's the next topic?"

"But Your Highness won't let us go out!" Aju shook her head lightly, picked up the teapot and filled a cup of tea for her and handed it to her.

The idiot Lolita on the right raised her little hand and shouted, "Chiyo Girl wants a cup too!"

"Okay, okay! Here it is for you!" Aju smiled and poured another cup and handed it over. The way the two little lolis were busy sipping tea made Aju very satisfied.

"Oh! It's delicious! This kind of sencha is much better than that kind of weird matcha! It's very fragrant and elegant!" Nagao Huji said stubbornly: "I don't want to listen to that bastard... How about just walking around Naoejin? Hu Ji heard that there is a new resettlement site, and there are many injured and homeless poor people, shall we go and see them with food and old clothes?"

"Chiyoko wants to go too!"

The two lolis were waiting to stare at her with big eyes, which made Aju hesitate a bit. After thinking for a while, she said: "It should be possible! We can only go out until we get on the horse and return to the samurai!"

"No need! Hu Ji has her own guards! All of them are Ji warriors!" The long-tailed Hu Ji showed off proudly: "Although there are only 20 of us at present, each of us is a master of bow and horse. You won't be afraid of those men even if you fight with needles!"

……

Nagao Jinghu picked up a cup of sake and drank it with his head tilted up, and the sudden needle-like headache was relieved. He rubbed his temples and frowned and said, "Nakajo Echizen Shouden and Kurokawa Shitano Shouden of the same clan, just This is the end of the territorial dispute! The two parties must divide their respective disputed territories according to the ruling!"

"Yes!" Nakajo Fujisuke looked very satisfied. Of course, Kurokawa Morimi was not very happy, but no matter what, he couldn't confront Nagao Jinghu face to face, so he could only lean down and say, "We will definitely obey the ruling of the lord!"

The two belong to the same clan, the Nakajo clan is the direct descendant and the Kurokawa clan is the concubine clan, Kurokawa Moriji's great-grandfather's mother is also the Nakajo clan's daughter, logically speaking they should be very close to the same clan, but that's it However, since the 20 years since Tianwen, the two families have been fighting each other because of territorial disputes, almost to the point of fighting each other as enemies. In the end, Nagao Jinghu's mentor, Amuro Guangyu, went back and forth to mediate between the two families.

The reconciliation was barely reached this time because of the face of the master. Otherwise, Kurokawa Mori would definitely not let it go, because this time the ruling was obviously in favor of Nakajo Tengzi, and the land of the three farms was taken by Nakajo Fujisuke took the two largest ones, and he only got one of the smallest. Thinking of this, Kurokawa Morimi couldn't help but glared at Nakajo Fujisuke resentfully.

"I have something to announce!" Da Xiong Chaoxiu stood up and walked out of the crowd, saying loudly: "The dispute over the territory of the wife and township in Uonuma County was caused by the five anti-land ownership rights in the farm. After investigation by the minister, it was found that 40 years ago, it belonged to the Xiaping family. According to the strict order of the lord, from the day the lord enters Chunri Mountain City, each family is not allowed to encroach on other people's territory. The dispute has been terminated before, so I think it should be repaired by Xiaping. "

"Your servant has something to say!" Ben Zhuang stood up proudly, strode out of the queue and knelt down, and said, "My lord believes that my lord treats people with kindness and should deal with land disputes with fairness. Wouldn't it be more beautiful to divide this piece of land into two halves, and each of the two families would choose one of them?"

"I, Asohide, handled the land lawsuit impartially, following the will of my lord. What does Misaku mean by obeying this statement?" As the leader of the Echigo-Uesugi faction, Okuma Asohide thought he should be the chief minister of the Nagao family, so Be very vigilant about the actions of Honjo Shino.

Honjo Minato caught a glimpse of Ueno Iamari's anxious expression and Nagao Masakage's concerned eyes, and immediately said: "Since it is a fair disposal, we should fully consider the will of the parties involved in the dispute. My lord has just ruled the difference between Echizen Shouden and Shimono Shouden. The disputes between the two are also decided in a different way, not to mention that this piece of land was indeed the territory of the Ueno family 40 years ago, can it be said that once the Shimohei family occupies it, it can be classified as their own?"

In fact, this piece of land has nothing to do with Honjo Shino, but because it concerns Nagao Jingtora and Nagao Masaki of the Nagao family, the leader of the Ueda people, he also had to stand up to fight against it. Among the seven counties of Echigo The territory of Ueda Nagao's family is mainly in Uonuma County, and in Uonuma County there is a samurai group that is not inferior to Yang Beizhong and is united around Ueda Nagao's house. Their name is Uedazhong.

Honjo Shino's move is to help Nagao Jinghu win over Ueda Nagao's family. If this matter is handled properly, Ueda's people can be perfectly integrated into the big frame of Nagao's family, which will help Nagao Jinghu rule the seven counties of Echigo This is also one of the secret agreements he reached with Masaki Nagao.

And Ueno Iemari happens to be a wealthy family from the Ueda family, and at the same time, he is also the Hajimoto noble family who took the initiative to seek refuge in Nagao Keigora. He is Uesugi's retainer, there is no comparison between the two.

Originally Ueda and the Echigo Uesugi faction were allies, but three years ago when Nagao Masaki set off a rebellion, the Echigo Uesugi faction resolutely abandoned this powerful ally and joined Nagao Kagetora, forcing Nagao in the ensuing war The political scene was defeated and lost, even very useless.

Since then, Nagao Masakei and the Ueda people have hated these perfidious villains. Therefore, in this land dispute, Nagao Masakei wanted to make the Echigo-Uesugi faction lose face, so after this incident, soon Soon, he will unite with Benzhuang Shinnai, and Benzhuang Shinnai will win the support of public opinion, while he will be responsible for military deterrence.

And Okuma Asohide, the leader of the Echigo Uesugi faction, will naturally not support Ueno Iamari's land demands. He has to protect the interests of Shimohira Ryoyoshicho, which is related to his prestige status in the Echigo Uesugi faction, so this time Collisions are also bound to happen.

"No! It's not right to say that Misaku Shou of this village is wrong. If the Shimoheira's occupation of these fields was after the lord's strict order, I, Chaoxiu, will definitely judge him as unreasonable. Talk about the old things decades ago... tell me, where did our land come from? Didn't it come from the manors of the imperial court and monasteries in Kyoto? Do we have to return the land we are waiting for to the nobles in Kyoto? Is it?" Speaking of this, when Okuma Asohide still glanced at Kirayoshi intentionally or unintentionally, the Echigo people burst into laughter.

"Hmph! I think Bizenshou is not sincere!" Honjo Shino was acutely aware of the displeasure of Nagao Jinghu, who was sitting on the main seat, but he couldn't see Kirayoshi's attitude clearly, so the group of Mikawa warriors looked Very upright, facing Daxiong Chaoxiu's unprovoked hints, he seemed aggrieved, but fortunately they were more restrained this time and did not jump up again.

"Whether the ruling is fair or not depends entirely on the lord Gan Gang's arbitrary decision. As a subject, we only have the right to make suggestions and cannot make decisions on our behalf. The territorial disputes among the samurai are not the same as they were hundreds of years ago. They cannot be compared with them. The wives in Uonuma County have their own township. There are two lords of Ueno and Xiaping, and the land disputes between the two families should be judged with a fair attitude first, and you must not act arbitrarily in the name of the lord, and make perverse actions!"

"What? I acted arbitrarily and acted against the law?" Daxiong Chaoxiu was furious, and said loudly: "The land of the Xiaping family came from a legal source. In 40 years, I have never heard of the Ueno family's request for territorial rights. Why did I only remember it now?" Complaining about land disputes? Isn’t there a problem with that?”

"The words of Bizenshou are over." Naoe Mitsuna interjected, "There is no justice in claiming the territory. I think everyone knows the reason. I think what Misakuden said is right, it's better to take half of each!"

Daxiong Chaoxiu immediately refused: "No! This request is unreasonable. The land of the Xiaping family has been cultivated for two generations. It is a good piece of land, and it was taken away by a few people with a single sentence. After that day, the Ueno family will file a lawsuit again, right? Should all the land of the Xiaping family be taken away? This is absolutely unacceptable!" (To be continued.)
