Pillars of the Wu family

() This time, it was not only Asohide Okuma who spoke alone, but also the retainers of the Echigo Uesugi sect who spoke one after another. On the other hand, the guardian generation of the Nagao family represented by Shino Honjo also counterattacked. Chasing after Ben Zhuang at the right time was really a fierce pursuit, and the sarcasm almost knocked out the long-tailed Jinghu's tutor.

Nagao Jinghu, who was dizzy from the noise, announced on the spot that the evaluation meeting was over. The two Echigo retainers stared at each other and broke up unhappy. While speaking, Kira Yoshih put away his folding fan and left.

"Wuwei Palace, please wait a moment! My lord, please!" A samurai stopped Kirayoshi's path, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a confidant samurai next to Nagao Keigora. His name was Biwajima Yashichiro. The legacy of the Shima Nagao family, Nagao was ordered by the Nagao family to inherit the territory of Biwa Island, and was later killed by Usami Dingmitsu in a surprise attack, leaving only Yashichiro who was still in his infancy. From then on, he became the confidant of Nagao Jinghu, a samurai.

Kira Yoshitoki nodded, and followed him to the castle tower. At this time, Nagao Jinghu was drinking one cup after another, and he had already drank two bottles of old wine in a short while, looking at his reddish complexion full of wine Ji Liangyishi could only shake his head and persuade: "Jinghudian should be more restrained. Although drinking alcohol is good, excessive drinking will hurt the body."

"It's okay, I have a good capacity for drinking! Don't you know about Yishi? Drinking alcohol can help you enter meditation!" Changwei Jinghu drank it all in one gulp, and said drunkenly: "Do you know about Yishi? The Ninth Zen Master of Chexiu Sect He once told me that the innate wisdom and kindness are not enough to rely on, one must meditate, the other is to meditate, and the third is to meditate, there is nothing but meditation, just meditate!"

"The Zen master also told me a fable about a dog in Zhaozhou. A student monk asked the eminent monk in Zhaozhou, Master Cong Zen, "Does the dog still have the Buddha's nature?" Asked: "Is the dog still Buddha-like?" The eminent monk said: "No!"

I, Jing Hu, thought about it for half a month and couldn't understand it. Then I asked the Zen master and told him: "Delusion thinking is not meditation. It's like soaking a rock in cold water. It's useless to think about it for a thousand years. If you can understand it, you will understand it. If you can't understand the samadhi , Gouzi has Buddha nature, so there is no need to think about it!"

Nagao Jinghu staggered after drinking cup after cup, while Biwashima Yashichiro who was standing beside him was still indifferent, which made Kira Yoshihime a little dissatisfied. He reached out to take the wine cup, but Nagao Jinghu deftly dodged it. He smiled and said, "Don't think I'm drunk, this little amount of alcohol won't bother me..."

Just as he was speaking, Nagao Jinghu's body suddenly swayed and almost fell down. Fortunately, Biwashima Yashichiro, who was like a puppet, quickly supported him, and Kira Yoshihiko shook his head and said, "Don't drink it. Drinking alcohol hurts the liver, anger and sadness. I know that Jing Hudian is angry, but you must not vent your anger with your body."

"You know? I'm tired of the endless quarrels. The battle between Nakajo Fujisuke and Kurokawa Moriji has been going on for three years because of the three farms. I have to hear this level almost every month. It is for this reason that my mentor, Master Guangyu, will go back and forth tirelessly to solve my problems! I am really tired of all this. I even wanted to stay in Kyoto as a Zen monk a few months ago. !"

Nagao Jinghu's pessimistic mood was completely beyond his expectations. In his impression, the dragon of Echigo was always forging ahead. When would he become the decadent look he is now? Instinctive persuasion: "Don't be discouraged. The enemy is hiding in the dark and laughing at our loss. Only when we are in adversity can we not be discouraged."

"Where is the enemy? Takeda Harunobu of Kai? That cunning man must be worrying about the earthquake in Kanto Koshin!" Nagao Jinghu laughed. Echigo suffered heavy losses due to the earthquake, but Kanto where the earthquake occurred , Kai is not much better, this strong earthquake is also considered to be the aftershock of the big earthquake a few years ago, and the magnitude is only a little lower than the last big earthquake.

"This earthquake seems to be concentrated in Musashi country, and it has also had a great impact on Sagami and Kai. It is reported that more than a thousand people died, countless houses collapsed, the ground was cracked and farmland was destroyed. His family is not the only one suffering this time. " Ji Liangyi pointed out something, and Nagao Jinghu also shook his head with a smile.

In fact, what he meant was that after a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. The last time the Great Kanto Earthquake forced farmers to abandon their land and flee because of the rampant plague. One question, it is a pity that the people of Echigo can't see this, but choose to refuse rudely.

Kira Yoshitoki said worriedly: "I am worried about the progress of the post-disaster reconstruction and the resettlement of the victims. So many people opposed the assessment meeting today, which made me very worried about the resettlement of these victims. Refugees can easily cause greater turmoil due to the famine caused by lack of clothing and food, unclean water and food will cause terrible plagues, dead cattle and horses must not be thrown away at will, they are the source of the plague.”

Hearing this, Changwei Jinghu also realized the seriousness of the disaster, nodded and said: "This is indeed a problem, and I will urge them to strictly implement it!"

It's been a long day, and for some people, today's life is not very good, but this must not include Long Taihu Ji, because today she sneaked out to play again, just like sneaking out in the past, took her The Ji Warrior Guards that he secretly formed, pretending to be public and self-serving, announced that it was his brother's order, and tricked him into opening one side of the city gate and going down the mountain to play.

The smartest thing about her is that she is good at grasping the timing. She can always sneak back before Changwei Jinghu finds out that she has run out. More than on the mountain, even if you play down the mountain every day, you will not feel bored.

Under the guidance of Aju, they quickly set up a simple tent in front of an open space and presented delicious pastries to the children in the temporary resettlement site. Hu Ji's eyes were sour, and every child who got the pastries had a clean and pure smile on their faces, making them feel that they had a very fulfilling day.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely do it again!" Nagao Jinghu thought happily: "And Sister Aju, the cakes she made are really delicious! And the sencha is also great! Hu Ji likes it so much Sister Aju!"

When Kira Yoshitoki returned to the building exhausted, he heard laughter from the opposite room not far away, looked at the deserted appearance of his own residence suspiciously, and said depressedly: "It seems that Tiger Princess Laughter, where is Aju? Where did the other maids go? Could it be that I was abandoned?"

As far away as the Yashizakikan in Kai, Harunobu Takeda was also troubled by the sudden earthquake. The Oyamada family, one of the two mountains in Takeda, was seriously damaged. Half of Kai was suffering from the earthquake. His ri The road in the Hachioji area near Musashi was damaged by successive earthquakes, and an important road leading to the Kanto from the Takeda family was interrupted.

Takeda Harunobu, who was attacking the rebels in Shinano, also had to terminate this military operation, and hurried back to Kai for relief. Back in Kai, the army will be handed over to Baba Noburi Torora, Kudo Yukunaga and a group of confidants who can firmly control the situation.

Ever since he suffered a small loss in Kawanaka Island last year, Takeda Harunobu has been thinking about how to get back that piece of land. If it wasn't for the sudden earthquake, maybe he has calmed down the situation where the northern and southern Shinano are in trouble at the same time. And then plan the new North Shinano strategic plan.

Thinking that the road connecting Kanto was destroyed by the landslide, Takeda Harunobu said with a headache: "Although it is a bit regrettable, but let's take it easy! Reconstruction after the disaster is also a very troublesome thing!"

The No. [-] counselor of the Takeda family, Masao Komai, the producer of the Takeda family's "Koshu Hodo No. [-]", said comfortingly: "My lord, don't worry, the Echigo Nagao family may not be safe either!"

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

"At the beginning of this year, the Kira Takeshi in Kyoto brought more than [-] troops to Echigo. It must be a moment of panic at this time, and it is impossible to pose an effective threat to Shinano in a short time." Masao Komai said: "What's more, Echigo is not so peaceful in the first place. The dispute between Nakajo Fujisuke and Kurokawa Morimi has been going on for a long time. It is reported that Hojo Takahiro has often expressed grievances since he was taken away as Kashiwazaki. The conflicts of the old guardian faction are fierce, and these are opportunities that we can take advantage of."

"Well, the adjustment! It is indeed in line with the usual strategy of my Takeda family." Harunobu Takeda stroked his beard and smiled, "I will leave the adjustment to Gao Baizhai. If you need it, it's okay to say, it's the most indispensable thing in our family's hands." It is the chess stone gold of Koshu!"

"Your servant understands! Please rest assured, my lord!" Komai Masaobu said confidently, "I will not relax when Shinano takes the second place. Why don't you ask His Highness Dianxiu to sacrifice and let the eldest son Saburo adopt the Mochizuki family and serve as the second servant!"

"This is a good idea, I'll leave Shinshige to the main family!" Harunobu Takeda nodded, and then said: "In this way, my Takeda family can rest for a year, and prepare for the next year's battle against Oku Shinano!" (to be continued) continued.)
