Pillars of the Wu family

() "The fox's tail was exposed in a small loyalty test, and the human relationship is so cold, it's really sad and deplorable!" Kira Wansongmaru sneered, dismissing them very much, of course he thought too much, Pu Generations are human beings, and human beings have selfishness, but their families, which have experienced hundreds of years of wind and frost, are much more loyal than those ordinary retainers and countrymen who have no restraint. , and finally his proposal will still be passed.

However, Kira Wansongmaru didn't intend to understand them, so he threw out the answer directly after seeing the heat: "The Bodhi Temple of our family will not be relocated for the time being, but the family name will be officially changed to the Kyoto Kira family. You don't have to worry too much. Cao Sui, Mori Ise Nagato, Mori Yamaoka Awaji, Mori Okochi Tajima, Mamoru Jukai Tanmasa Shochu, Mori Takahashi Dewa, Mori Ogasawara, Mori Ogasawara, Mori Ogasawara, Mori Ehara Tanba and others jointly deal with it."

Sure enough, upon hearing his proposal, all the retainers supported him with one voice, and the retainers who had been in a mess just now sat together peacefully, as if nothing had happened.This is a magic weapon handed down from the Kamakura shogunate, and the genealogy generations were immediately satisfied.

Kira Wansongmaru looked at them with a smile, but the indifference in his eyes could not be erased, and the childish Kyoto accent quickly fell into the ears of all the important officials present: "My family studied Sinology since childhood, and I once learned that there is a saying in Ming Dynasty There is a proverb called: People walk away and tea cools, but today it seems that the tea is already cold before people leave. It seems that whether it is the Ming Dynasty, a country in the middle of the earth, or our small island country in Japan, it is human nature. It's true!"

This sentence was a bit harsh, and made the family members of Pu Dai sit back with shame on their faces. Many people began to ask themselves: "The collegial system of important ministers is indeed very good, but is it shameless to usurp the family business of the Kira family so blatantly? Besides The family governor just went to Kyoto to serve the public. If one day he thinks it through and returns to Mihe Kingdom, what will they do with them? Once they fight for power, the reputation of the Kira family will be over, and the halo that hangs over them will fade away. Pudai without halos are just ordinary warriors, will the people of Sanhe be afraid of them?"

The answer is self-evident. Most of Kira’s vassals are of mediocre ability. The reason why they became well-known warriors in Xisanhe and mastered a large amount of land and knowledge is because they have served the Kira family for generations, and secondly, relying on the halo bonus of the Kira family to make the countrymen and local servants fearful. , Without a name, they are just a phoenix that loses hair and is not as good as a chicken.

Kira Wansongmaru glanced at all the people present with a cold gaze, and said with a soft snort: "When my family leaves, the Kira family will definitely transfer to the Imagawa family. You just need to remember one thing, the main family is not a subject. , if anyone wants to take my Kira family business to the Imagawa family to ask for credit, please do it boldly! My family is in Kyoto to see if you are worthy of being my Kira family's retainers!"

"I don't dare!" No matter whether it is the genealogy or the powerful retainer, they all shouted and bowed down. There is no limit to the importance of these words. Whether it is the seller's family or the loyal master's family is enough to make these trembling and unsteady people walk on thin ice. Kira Wansongmaru This is to watch the fire from the other side of the capital. Whoever sells him will have to settle accounts. Besides, whoever can guarantee that the Imagawa family will protect them. The people present have not forgotten enough to ignore the relationship between the Imagawa family and the Kira family.

"...my family has to go to Luo this time, not only going to Luo, but the Saijo Kira family will also move out. The mother family of my family is the aristocratic Nakain family in the public house. They are quite powerful in Kyoto and they have found a place in Kinki It won't be difficult to establish a foundation." As the plan was explained step by step, the retainers of the Kira family were speechless.

Now everyone can see the sharpness of this little family governor. The Kira family is a famous family with hairpin tassels for generations, and they pass on the etiquette of bowing and horses. No one thinks that the family governor of the Kira family is a stupid child, but this The house governor is a little too strong, at least that's what Okochi Nobuzhen thinks, he didn't expect that the little apprentice holding a book and frowning all day has an unknown side.

"Since everyone understands, let's go back and get ready!" Kira Wansongmaru tapped the table lightly with the handle of his fan, reminding his retainers to leave.

Yamaoka Awaji Mori Yaoyuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly jumped out and knelt in the middle. As the most fierce guy in the family and the loudest guy, some people felt bad when he showed up, but it was too late to stop him: "The owner Your Excellency! I request you to go to Luo with the Master! Continue to contribute to the great cause of the Kira family!"

"My lord! My servants are willing to follow my lord to go to Luo!" This was a bad start, and the retainers who were sitting in the back who were too high-ranking were also mobilized, and a group of passionate warriors didn't care how many enemies they had at home. , how many concubine, how many sons, and how many people follow, shouting at their throats to show their loyalty.

This result was beyond Kira Wanmatsumaru's expectations. He didn't want to take away so many genealogy. It would be too troublesome, so he patiently enlightened: "Everyone follow me to leave the homeland, so how should the family business be dealt with? Abandoning it is not acceptable. , but it’s not so easy to be a qualified successor, if you can’t hold on to the family business and you have nothing to do in the capital, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?”

The vassals all felt that the governor was really reasonable. This sentence hit their pain point. A qualified heir to the Wu family is not so easy to cultivate. It takes more than ten years of careful training to become a useful person. During this period, he must be free from illness, disaster, and bad habits. , it would be bad if any of the above points were stained.

What's worse is that many samurai often face the danger of having too many children competing for their family property, or failing to have children without children. In this era, samurai is a high-risk occupation. The rioting peasants were taken away one after another, and these realities made this group of passionate retainers wilt.

Earth servants or low-level warriors called underground people are even worse. They usually face the loess and go to the fields with their backs to the sky. Not much, but they have to face another problem, can they live safely past the age of 30 and find a wife?

The average life expectancy of samurai in the Muromachi era was less than 40 years old. Many people are still working hard to live past 30 years old. Living to the age of the next generation's heir, Yuanfu, is the exclusive property of the rich and handsome, and they regard the old birthday star who lives to a hundred years old as a myth.

Many people don't live to that age, and the guardianship of the heirs becomes a problem. Whether they are from the same clan or retainers, they don't mind getting the family property. It's hard to say whether they will be killed by vicious clansmen and usurp the family business. If they really follow Kira Wan Songmaru went to Kyoto, and in the end, he was miserable and his career was not going well. When he returned to Sanhe Kingdom, there was no place for them to live. The family business must have been divided by the inheritance of the same clan.

Seeing the sympathetic expressions of a group of retainers, Kira Wansongmaru smiled: "So I already understand the thoughts of the gentlemen! But the family business of the Kira family still needs the support of all the ministers, after all, this land of three rivers Hot land is also a place where generations have lived for hundreds of years!"

For the wealthy family, the inheritance of the family business and the locality are the biggest fetters. All the retainers were moved by Kira Wansongmaru's words. , but definitely not among this group of retainers, so the retainers retreated wisely.
