Pillars of the Wu family

() "After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather comes later in autumn; the bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow up...the clear autumn after the rain is really a different kind of scenery." Pulling Kansuke Yamamoto to stand on the hillside, overlooking the beautiful scene of the lake and mountains.

"The owner of the museum should hurry up! I still have important matters to deal with." Kansuke Yamamoto urged with a bitter face. He was too busy to touch the ground, but he was forced by Kira Manmatsumaru to visit the Mikawa Nakajo clan, saying that it was through In the name of Shangluo, he wins over the people of Sanhe Country to show his prestige, and set off early in the morning before dawn, crossing Bihai County and going deep into the mountains of Kamo County.

"I know! Master is really a lack of interest!" Kira Manmatsumaru muttered twice and urged his mount to rush down the mountain. Yamamoto Kansuke and Magui Samurai quickly followed, only Yamaoka Zenjiro hurriedly drove his nasty horse Carefully go down the mountain, but always can't catch up with the horse back to the samurai.

Yamaoka Zenjiro suffered from this poor horse not once or twice. Although the level of riding and shooting skills is very high, it is just because he runs the slowest every time, he is ridiculed privately by the horse warriors, which makes Yamaoka Zenjiro feel very helpless Endure, so he swore in his heart: "Bastard! I must sell this horse when I go back! I will never regret it!"

Regardless of the grievances between Zenjiro Yamaoka and the poor horse, Kira Manmatsumaru's team soon arrived at Kenmo Castle. There was correspondence between today and Kira Manmatsumaru's visit was also expected, and the lord of Fist Mother Castle, Nakajo Dewa Shou Changlong, went out to welcome this honored guest in person, giving the distinguished guest the highest courtesy.

In the Muromachi era, the status of the Mikawa Kingdom in the shogunate can be said to be very special. The establishment of the shogunate’s public institutions is basically equivalent to the royal family system in the Kamakura era, but the power of the royal family to participate in politics and discuss power has been weakened, and it has become a pure armed force directly under the shogunate. The public comes from warrior families from various neighboring countries, Chinese families with military exploits.

There are forty households in Sanhe who serve the public. Basically, the most prestigious families in Sanhe are all from Fenggong. These families did not go to the shogunate for generations. In the past 40 years, due to the decline of the power of the shogunate, they have gradually cut off Shangluo’s intentions. The expansion of influence in Sanhe country, followed by the expansion of the Imagawa family's power, and the comet-like rise and fall of Matsudaira Kiyoyasu all dealt a big blow to the Fenggong people of Sanhe country.

Speaking of the Mikawa Nakajo family, it is also a well-known samurai family. The family comes from the famous Ono courtier family. It has been active in history since the Nara period. The most famous Ono girl among the first ancestors was ranked three times in the Heian period. Ono Komachi, the 36 song fairy and the 36 song fairy in the female room, and Ono Huang, who is called "the prime minister of the wild", and other celebrities.

In the Heian era, Musashi, the descendant of Ono Ko, guarded the country of Ono Takayasu Musashi, and his son Ono Yoshitaka moved to Yokoyama, Tama County in the south of Musashi country. Because the name of Miao was changed to Yokoyama clan and many branches came out. The most famous samurai family of the Jo family, Nakajo Kanetsuna, the father of Nakajo's parents, led the Lang party to join the army when Yuan Lai Chao raised his troops, and made great achievements in the Genpei War and the Oshu War.

Nakajo’s parents were elected as Zaemon Lieutenant because their father and grandparents followed Minamoto Yoshitomo and Minamoto Yoshio’s rebellion. During the Jojiu Rebellion, he served as the left guard of the Kamakura Shogunate with Oe Hiromoto and was awarded the guardian of Owari and the land of Mikawa Takahashi. In the first year of Jialu, he served as the evaluator and won the five subordinates of De Yushou. He directly participated in the formulation of the famous decree of the Kamakura shogunate "Goseiba Shimu". With his support, he won the title of leader of the Hengshan Party, and has been famous all over the world ever since.

The distant ancestor is too brilliant to explain anything, but the close ancestor of the Nakajo family is not bad at all. It is Nakajo Deba who founded the Nakajo-ryu's art of war. One of the "Fourteen Sages of Nen-ryu", he later created the Nakjo-ryu by combining the swordsmanship handed down by the Nakajo family with Nen-ryu. It held a very high status in the Muromachi period and was valued by the shoguns of all dynasties.

There is also a very famous branch of the Nakajo family, the Tomita clan. After combining the essence of several other schools that emerged in the Muromachi period, he created the Tomita-style military art with the Nakajo-style as the cornerstone. It is very famous in Hokuriku and Kinki. Dai is also a famous school comparable to the famous Katori Shinto style in the East.

The Nakajo family has always had a high status in the shogunate. Because they have served as judges for generations, they are called the Nakajo Judge. Later, the Nakajo family was targeted by the Ashikaga Yoshikon, who is known as "the terror of all people", and found the wrong punishment. Without Takahashi Village's 36-year-old Zhixing leader who hit a total of [-] guan, his family was in decline, but his family was lucky enough to survive until the day of resurgence. Not only did he get back the confiscated family leader, but he also served as the shogunate again. Evaluate the public.

With the decline of the shogunate, their family also fell into an irreversible decline. In the second year of Tianwen (1533), it was the governor of the Nakajo family, Nakajo Dewa Shou Changlong, who brought his own retainer Langdang, and invaded his family. Kiyoyasu Matsudaira of the territory fought a battle with Ida, and the result of the battle is self-evident. The Nakajo family, who was severely repaired by Kiyoyasu Matsudaira, almost exported their pants, and returned to the mother city of the fist. The territory of more than [-] townships also said goodbye to the Tiao clan.

Maybe it was scared of being beaten by Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, or maybe the governor of the Nakajo family was scared out of his wits, and it lasted for more than ten years. Takade Yushou couldn't shrink back, like a poor old-fashioned bastard, trying to keep the family business in this way, but would it work for him?Kira Wansongmaru was very suspicious.

After a formulaic courtesy, Kira Manmatsumaru decisively proposed to invite Nakajo Tsunetaka to go to Luo Fenggong to support the shogunate. Unsurprisingly, the stubborn Nakajo Dewa Sholong refused to go to Luo. Shangluo Fenggong is gone, and no matter how much the public urges, they can't stop their determination to keep the family business. The same is true for Izuba Mamoru. It is his biggest dream in life to revive the family business and regain the lost Kamo County territory. Shangluo Fenggong?He never thought about it.

"Stubborn guy! His head is as rigid as marble! No wonder I didn't hear about the future of the Nakajo family! A foolish governor killed the whole clan!" Seeing that the mouth was about to wear out and still had no effect, Kira Manmatsumaru made a decisive decision He got up to say goodbye, and when he was about to walk out of the room with a gloomy face, a voice came from behind: "Kirliang Hall, please wait a moment!"

"Old stubborn figured it out?" Kira Wansongmaru was delighted in his heart, turned around quietly and looked over, the gray-haired Nakajo Idewa Shou Takashi, who was over forty years old, sighed and said: "Please understand that our family can't do it casually." Lord Luo Fenggong's difficulties in Kira Hall..."

"I can understand! If you have anything else to say, just say it!" Kira Wansongmaru hurriedly got up in the morning and only ate two rice balls, and sat on the bumpy horse for another hour, and his stomach was already growling with hunger. , so he simply interrupted his meaningless behavior of going around in circles, which means that the young master is very busy and has no time to accompany you to play around in circles.
