Pillars of the Wu family

()Although all the construction work of this resort and recuperation palace has been completed, since Toki Yamamoto came here to observe it on the spot, he decided to build a permanent fortification in this valley at an altitude of 150 meters, which means that it must Pull up the fence to build arrows and sculls to store soldiers, money and food, together with the previously built house group that can accommodate 3000 people, as well as various residences for vacation and leisure, this place has been built into a barracks fortress.

"Why did you build such a complicated military fortress? You also need to build a three-story tower? Am I right?" Staring at the complex architectural map, he was dizzy at the complex structure of various points and lines connected together. It is a technology learned from the Nanman people. In layman's terms, this is Nanman architecture, but it seems that he only learned how to use a ruler to draw more standardized and beautiful drawings, which is still far away from baroque architecture. distance.

"The estimated cost of building these military buildings is [-] guanwen in Yongle money, and [-] defenders and [-] households can be stationed. The main purpose is here." Tokiyuki Yamamoto pointed to Mikuni Pass, an important passage leading to Ueno from Echigo .

"Huh? Mikuni Toge is actually on this channel. No wonder there are so many boats going to and from Uono River. So it's because of this!" Yoshiki Kira was a little stupid. Noticing such an important connection, the Mikuni Street connecting Kanto and Ueno Kingdom passes here.

Because of the Uono River, most business travelers will choose to enter the Shinano River by boat, and then change the means of transportation to the destination they want to go. It is only because of the successive natural disasters in the Kanto area in recent years that the travel between the Three Kingdoms Pass There are fifty to sixty percent fewer travelers in the space than in previous years, so he didn't realize the importance of this passage.

"Build a military fort here to overlook the Uono River? At the same time, it also has an important outpost to enter Ueno? Wait, is there an advance layout for Uonuma County?" Yoshitoki Kira struggled: "But it is only [-] meters away from Sakado Castle. Ten miles away, it is easy to be feared by the Nagao family?"

No wonder he was worried. Sakado Castle is the residence of Ueda Nagao's family. It is only [-] kilometers away from Ishi Mountain in the northeast of Yuzawa Imperial Palace, and it also happens to be in the north-northeast direction. The mountain castle is located on Sakado Mountain. , just overlooking the Uono River at the foot of the mountain, its military role far exceeds that of his valley.

Tokiyuki Yamamoto said confidently: "Please don't worry, Master! Nagao Echizen Shouden will definitely not mind."

"It's no wonder I don't mind!" He didn't dare to say this, he was afraid that the one-eyed old man would go crazy.

In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed, from early summer to midsummer in one step, and the July fire is not suitable for Echigo, because the cool sea breeze from the Japanese Sea blows through the Echigo plains and blows the high mountains, rustling The summer wind engulfs the moisture from the sea and blows on people's bodies to make people cool. The highest temperature throughout the year is only 25 degrees, making it a summer resort.

After a joint consultation between Qu Naose Moruma and several doctors, it was confirmed that Kira Yoshitoshi had completely recovered without any sequelae, and he was allowed to soak in the rotten egg hot spring for three and a half months. His bones were almost softened by soaking, so that he felt a little sick to his stomach when he saw the eggs.

"His Royal Highness has finally recovered!" Hu Ji rushed over in surprise.

"His Royal Highness has finally recovered!" This is the idiot Lori who followed as a repeater.

"His Royal Highness finally recovered! Would you like to try Aju's grilled chicken wings?"

This sentence made Kira Yoshitoki's eyes teary, secretly thinking that Aju is caring, before he stretched out his hand, he was picked up by two loli who were pestering him one by one and stuffed into his mouth, Mochizuki Chiyo said while eating : "Sister Aju's craftsmanship is really amazing! The grilled chicken wings are so delicious!"

"Yes! Not only can I bake all kinds of delicious pastries, but I can also roast chicken, duck and fish. It's really amazing! Hu Ji will also learn it in the future!"

Seeing Kira Yoshishi's sad face, Hu Ji handed over the half-eaten chicken wing with some regret, and asked, "Do you want to have a bite, Your Highness?"

"Uh... I'm not hungry! Eat!" Clutching his shriveled stomach, Yoshitoki Kira decided to be a hero in front of the girl.

"Oh! Isn't Your Highness hungry?" Aju said with some disappointment: "What about the roasted chicken and roasted chicken legs?"

"Can't eat? There's me!" Saito Asanobu came out of nowhere, grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth with lightning speed, and ate the whole fat chicken leg in two or three mouthfuls. Kira Yoshishi's complexion changed, and he hurriedly grabbed the last one, but his reaction was still half a beat slow, and the fat big chicken leg was stuffed into his mouth by this shameless guy.

Kira Yoshishi was furious, pointing at the shameless man who robbed him of food and cursed: "Bastard! How dare you rob me of food! Aju! Don't talk to him from now on!"

"No!" A shameless guy let out a scream.

After two months of construction, the infrastructure of this military fortress has also been fully constructed, and the rest of the repairs can be done slowly. After inspecting the newly built military facilities, Yoshitoki Kira moved to the training ground.

"The owner of the hall has recovered!" Yamaoka Shichang excitedly grabbed the samurai next to him and hugged him.

"The host has recovered!" Takikawa Tokimashi also hugged the island and hugged him.

"Stop! Don't be so gay, okay?" It's really a headache to say, this group of guys with excess hormone secretion likes to use their fists to settle personal grievances. Of course, these grievances may be because I don't like you or I don't like you. Yes, another bad tendency is that this group of strong guys can't vent their energy every day, so they always want their companions to pick up soap.

"Soap is really a good thing! Animal fat and plant ash can be mixed together to clean the body and remove dirt. Occasionally, some strange things will happen when it is dropped on the ground... Wait, what was I just talking about?" Yamaoka Tokinaga paused, He hurriedly pushed away his little friend to check if there were any strange changes in his body.

"Your Excellency has finally recovered! Then please continue to accept my strict training!" Hans said his congratulations with a half-baked English, and then he didn't give the boss any face, and signaled him to enter with his eyes. Columns receive a daily routine of basic training.

"What a monster!" Facing the tremendous deterrence of this perverted Teutonic knight, Yoshishi Kira, a famous shogunate general, had no advantage at all.

"Now we are going to do a new sport, that is rope skipping, you jump with me, remember everyone must complete a thousand times of skipping rope! From now on!" The rope made of beef tendon suddenly flew up, fortunately this Compared with the clumsy and unlucky guy who can't find the rhythm of vacating, Yoshitoki Kira can always complete every jump easily and quickly, and even masters how to use smaller vacating movements to complete a leather rope rotation skills.

When he was the first to complete a thousand times of rope skipping, the fastest Hans only completed [-] times. Because of his outstanding performance, Hans called him to the front and led everyone to learn rope skipping. Rope skipping is rope skipping, and he was about to break his legs before announcing the end.

"Your rope skipping skills are superb. From now on, after jogging for two miles every morning, you will lead everyone to practice rope skipping. First, you will jump [-] times, and then continue to increase!"

"...Can I say no?"

"Refused?" With a raised eyebrow, Hans showed a devilish smile and said a few words: "I don't think you can!"

At the beginning of August, a bad news broke the peaceful atmosphere in Yuzawa Valley. A serious military conflict broke out between Okuma Bizen Mori Asohide and Shoda Sozaemon Sakasuki. The army invaded its territory as a military deterrent, and there were attempts to further attack Jiguan City.

Daxiong Chaoxiu, who was like a frightened bird, saw that the situation was not good, so he simply left Jiguan City, took his relatives Yimen and the main city of Torizaka City, Zhengzi, and fled straight to the direction of Yuezhong with the army, planning to take advantage of his relatives and ignorance. At the same time, he can also take refuge in the old enemy of the Nagao family, the Etsuchu Jinbao family.

But before his army had time to escape, he was defeated by the Honzhuang army who came after him on the narrow road between Xiaozhi and Juhui. Even Daxiong Chaoxiu's two younger brothers, Shengxiu and Zhonglian, were also arrested. In the end, Daxiong Chaoxiu was spared only by his family, and ran all the way to Yuezhong with Cheng Zhengzi to hide.

Then Nagao Jinghu called Honjo Shino over and was furious. He was extremely disgusted with his master's self-assessment behavior, and what made him even more disgusted was that this time the action turned out to be the Nagao faction, Echigo Uesugi faction, and Ueda. The plan concocted by everyone is to completely eliminate Daxiong Chaoxiu.

That is to say, Usami Dadaman, Hirako Fumasa, Sensaka Keikichi and others sold their leaders without hesitation. This kind of treacherous behavior was disgusted by Nagao Jinghu, and of course he also hated these people who took the initiative to go to Nagao's house. Closer retainers.

But then Shino Honjo came up with another piece of strong evidence that completely broke Nagao Jinghu's good mentality, that is, the correspondence between Masao Komai of the Takeda family and Asohide Okuma. There were more than a dozen letters to him, and Masao Komai even hinted in the letters that other people were also receiving funding from the Takeda family and would soon cooperate with him in raising the flag of rebellion, which made Nagao Jinghu almost faint.

The ironclad evidence is that the fact that Daikuma Asohide betrayed the Nagao family cannot be refuted, so under the operation of Honjo Shino, Daikuma Chaoxiu's territory was all confiscated, and the city lord of Jiguan City was replaced by Nagao Kanshiro Kageko. The members of the Nagao family of Zaotang are not bad, they belong to the kind of samurai who are not well-known, but are low-key, pragmatic and loyal enough.

This choice is obviously enough to reassure the angry Nagao Jinghu. At the same time, it is also Honjo Mino's effort to resolve the gap between master and apprentice. He uses actions to show that he has no intention of knowing and doing the land. No matter how unhappy Wei Jinghu was, there was nothing he could do.

It seems that the storm of rebellion has passed, but those who are interested have clearly felt that a huge storm is quietly brewing hidden in Echigo, and no one can tell what kind of changes it will bring. heading in an unknown direction. (To be continued.)
