Pillars of the Wu family

In 1555 AD, that is, at the beginning of the 24th year of Tianwen, in Kasugayama Castle Castle Tower, Nagao Kagetora, wearing a woolen robe, sat cross-legged. Opposite him sat Kira Yoshitoki and Nagao Tora Hime, talking about the past year with a smile on their faces. fun.

The wind disease that troubled Nagao Jinghu has been cured, whether it is walking, sitting, eating, talking, or riding and archery, it will not be affected in any way. The recovery is so complete that it is beyond Qu Naose Mamoru's expectations. Nagata Tokumoto also believes that this is a god and Buddha. Blessed somewhere, but the two doctors still asked him to maintain good eating and rest habits.

"During the year of recuperation in the Yuzawa Imperial Palace, I felt an unprecedented relaxation in body and mind... I have never been so relaxed since I was a child. The burden of family business and the expectations of my retainers have all been removed from my mind. Every day Acupuncture and massage, doing rehabilitation exercises, watching "Genpei's Rise and Fall" and "Taiheiji" in the sun in my spare time, and Mr. Nagata debating the true meaning of Buddhism while soaking in hot springs, this kind of life makes me feel comfortable and at ease."

The boy and the girl added in unison: "The only thing you can't touch is sake."

"Yes! Only sake can't be touched." Nagao Jinghu shook his head and laughed. He will never touch sake again in this life. No matter the retainers, the family, or the young couple in front of him, he will not allow him to touch even a drop drinks.

After laughing, he sighed again: "I can't drink anymore! It's a great regret in life!"

"It's fine if you don't drink, brother, that time was really scary! If we do it again, we won't be able to bear it!" Hu Ji pouted to express her dissatisfaction with her brother's nostalgia.

"Okay, let's not talk about this... How is Kunimatsu's condition? I heard that he is ill again?" Speaking of his little nephew, Nagao Yoshikage who just took Yuanfu this year.Changwei Jinghu showed a worried expression.

Since the plague of summer broke out.Guosong also fell ill for some reason.The condition is good and sometimes bad, which makes people worry. Aya Nagao was worried for a few months, so she brought this single seedling to Naoejin to seek treatment from Nagata Tokumoto. If something happened to him, Nagao Ling would definitely not be able to bear it.

"Mr. Nagata is treating Kunimatsu. From the current point of view, there should be no major problems!" Yoshiki Kira was a little uncertain. He didn't remember Nagao Masaki and his eldest son.All he knew was that there would be a son in his family who would become the adopted son of Nagao Jinghu, who would later become Uesugi Jingsheng.

"Zhengjing happened to be in Kasuga Mountain City, so let my sister reunite with him! It is very important to give birth to the next child as soon as possible." Nagao Jinghu still has lumps about Nagao Zhengjing's betrayal, and has kept him in Kasuga Mountain City for the past few years. The other party has been working hard and has no other ideas.

Tiger Princess glanced at Kirayoshi, and seeing his affirmative expression, she said, "Brother, the king should be returned to you! Tiger Princess really can't do anything, and every time the evaluation meeting is held with her head empty, all His Highness is in charge!"

"I've already lived in seclusion. I don't plan to come back in the future." Changwei Jinghu just shook his head in disapproval.

"Brother, please listen to me. I have ruled Echigo for a year and still found many problems. The system of the Kira family is different from that of the Nagao family. The two sides are still very different and cannot be merged. It’s clear! So I, Yoshitoki, think it’s best for my brother to come back and lead Echigo!”

"Let's talk about it later!" Changwei Jinghu still didn't want to talk about this topic, and said with a smile: "My illness has delayed your marriage ceremony. My elder brother is really incompetent! Have you set a date yet?"

"It's fixed, March [-]th, it's a good day when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming!" The two looked at each other, and Tiger Hime shyly shrank behind his back, Kira Yoshihime could only smile helplessly, grabbing Tiger Hime's little hand to joke Said: "I just remembered being shy now, what were you thinking just now?"

"Your Highness!" The girl shyly buried her head and didn't look at him. The two big men smiled at the same time, but the girl blushed and showed her small canine teeth and said intimidatingly: "Don't laugh at me! If you laugh again, I will get angry! "

"Stop laughing, stop laughing! Hehehe..."

……

The new year of the Takeda family is really gloomy. A lot of family members and genealogy have died, and a large area of ​​territory has been lost. It can be said that the vitality of the Takeda family has been greatly damaged. Suddenly he rose up, driving Uesugi Xianzheng of Hirai Castle like a bereaved dog to hide in Tibet, and he couldn't help but feel envious.

Nobuo Imai was extraordinarily active today, and said for the third time: "My lord! Kita Shinano can't fight anymore! At least in the past few years, we can't touch each other again!"

Masao Komai asked rhetorically, "But what about the crisis in Xiaoxian County?"

"Sanada Yukitaka from the Shinano Congregation is the leader of the flag. In my view, Huchang, he will definitely work hard for his own land?" Iifu Huchang followed up.

"All rely on the people of Shinano? I don't think this is enough!" Nagasaka Mitsuken shook his head in denial.

"Then what do you think we should do?" A group of retainers quarreled, and Takeda Harunobu had a headache. Every time he met with disagreements, the retainers would quarrel. He suddenly understood why his father always wanted to kill Pudai. It's a bunch of troublesome guys.

In the past few months, he has been recuperating in Yuya Onsen, which is a health resort discovered by his father Nobutora Takeda. There are Sanshiozawa Temple, Senzuka Hachiman Shrine nearby, and there is a beacon tower on the mountain. The mountains are quiet and peaceful. There you can get complete relaxation.

Since he was a child, this is the sanatorium he has been to the most. The asthma that has been bothering him needs to be recuperated frequently, and it has also made him gradually fall in love with the habit of soaking in hot springs.

Bearing it again and again, the generation still didn't know how to restrain themselves, Takeda Harunobu could only stop aloud: "Hold on! Gentlemen, stop arguing! Just listen to my family! Kita Shinano can't give up!"

"Ah?" Some of the retainers made an uproar, causing Takeda Harunobu to frown dissatisfiedly, and then smiled: "Sanada Dan is serving as the leader of the Shinano party, responsible for the task of retaking the North Shinano Raiders. !"

Komai Masaotake pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what is the direction of our family's future strategy? Could it be Nishi Ueno?"

"Yes! It's Nishi Ueno! Not only Nishi Ueno, but also Hida! Our family has been thinking hard for a hundred days, and decided to continue to expand! Kai is too poor! Shinano and Ueno have been severely affected. It is a good time for us to attack Ueno! When mentioning last year's drought, Takeda Harunobu's mouth twitched.

The grain production in Shinano has been severely reduced, and many villages are facing a crisis of crop failure. With the arrival of the difficult winter, farmers without winter reserves are more and more inclined to flee famine, but the Takeda family does not have the ability to retain people like the Hojo family. Although Kai suffered from the drought It is relatively light, but generally [-]% of the grain production has been reduced, and the local grain is not enough to eat. How can we help the farmers in Shinano?

The entire Kai is 24 shi high, and the food received is less than 20 shi, but it has to feed nearly 20 people and seven or eight thousand soldiers. The pressure is like a mountain on his head, and he can't breathe. Angrily, if he doesn't expand, he can only starve and suffer from cold in the mountain den for a lifetime, he is not reconciled!Takeda's retainers are not reconciled either!

"There is a problem with those new grains! Potatoes yield three stones, corn yields one and a half stones, and pumpkins yield one and a half stones. Except for potatoes that are not bad, everything else has serious problems! Is it..." Nobuaki Atobe's eyes He glanced at Da Xiong Chaoxiu in the corner.

"No! There are no problems with these grains after inspection, and our family also believes that Okuma Bizenshou will not deceive our family." Harunobu Takeda said to Okuma Asohide in the corner: "Biseshou will definitely live up to our expectations?"

Daxiong Chaoxiu hurriedly bowed down: "No, no, no! There is absolutely no problem with the grains that I carry!"

The news of the collapse of the Takeda family in World War I quickly spread to Kanto. The samurai who had doubts about the Kira family's choice to go down to the high-mountain and far-away Echigo country changed their positions, unanimously praising the Kira family as worthy of being a famous general of the shogunate. The envoy also stepped into Chunri Mountain City for the first time after a few years, presenting a luxurious New Year gift.

Three famous knives, ten fine horses, [-] pieces of rabbit, fox, and bear skins, [-] pieces of lacquerware, two lotuses of tea, some specialty products such as matsutake and tangerines. I haven't seen you for a few years, but I have become wider and fatter, and said with a smile on my face: "My lord learned that the main hall of the long-tailed ball has just recovered from a serious illness, so I specially prepared twenty sticks of mountain ginseng and two loads of various medicinal materials. I wish the main hall of the long-tailed ball recovers !"

"I'm sorry Imakawa Jibuden has bothered you." Nagao Jinghu's tone was flat and natural, without any sense of joy.

Having experienced a serious illness, he has understood many principles of Zen. Now he keeps his rosary in his hand all day long, and he sits and meditates in his spare time. He has led the army and led the state affairs all the year round, which naturally exudes a unique sense of majesty. The solemn appearance is even more intimidating.

Sekiguchi is worthy of being an experienced diplomat, his expression remained unchanged and he continued to talk: "We have won the first battle in the Fushi Temple this time, and the power and power of the Fuxinano family is enviable! My lord is hereby specially ordered to escort Her Royal Highness, Fulfill the marriage contract made that day!"

A certain loli who was being a puppet with an empty head suddenly came to life, and asked with a flick of her ear, "What princess? What engagement?"

"The princess is my lord's adopted daughter, Princess Zhihu, and the marriage contract is the marriage contract that my lord made with Wuwei Palace that day..."

"Nani? Why didn't I know?" A certain big cat suddenly became masculine, and its big, round almond eyes were full of murderous intent. It locked on Kira Yoshishi's head and erupted with a powerful deterrent force: "Your Highness! There must be What to say? There must be? Huh?"

"That..." Kira Yoshitoki was so startled by this question that he almost jumped up, and he winked at Sekiguchi Kiyonaga at a loss, who greeted him with a smile as if he didn't understand at all, cursed secretly, and could only forcefully Scratching his scalp, he said, "This... is actually... actually a marriage contract... It's true! But..."

"But His Highness agreed, didn't he?" A certain loli raised a fist and threatened him, "Why didn't His Highness say..."

"Ahem! Hu Ji still needs enough time!" Changwei Jinghu couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to make a final decision: "That's it! Please go to Guankou Palace to rest first, and leave the rest to the retainers!" (To be continued. .)
