Pillars of the Wu family

"Your family belongs to the Hatakeyama family? Or the Tsutsui family? How much military service do you have? Are you a believer in Kofukuji Temple?" Kira Manmatsumaru asked tirelessly. Seeming to have returned to his old self, Zenjiro was very annoyed and whipped the leaves with a horsewhip.

After he had tied up the dead wild deer, tied the rope around himself, and slowly stood up while carrying the wild deer under everyone's gaze, "My family belongs to Tsutsui's family and undertakes military service for 35 people. I'm a believer in Xingfu Temple, you have so many questions, I can't answer them, I'm leaving and see you later!"

"Wait!" Kira Manmatsumaru hurriedly got on his horse and caught up, followed Shimazauchi's footsteps and said, "We are samurai from Kyoto. We want to go around and appreciate the humanities and customs of Yamato. This is our first time here." I can meet you when I come to Yamato, which means that I am very destined. Since I am so destined, how about being my guide for a while? I can give you the usual money."

"I hunt here every day." Shimazauchi shook his head again, picked up the wild deer that was bigger than him and walked back slowly.

"Irreverent boy! Stop it!" Yamaoka Zenjiro led a few horsemen and rushed over to block Shimazauchi's way, raising his hand to whip the whip.

"Zenjiro! Stop! Come back to me!" Kira Manmatsumaru winked at him quickly, and said kindly: "Zenjiro has no ill intentions towards you, maybe I should go to the island city to have a look, can you show me the way?"

"Are you going to our house as a guest?" Shimazuuchi tilted his head to look at him, then nodded suddenly and said: "My father likes entertaining guests very much. Our pickled radish and pickled meat are very delicious. Even if you buy a The pickled radish only costs a penny!"

……

Following Shimazuuchi to Pingqun Township, Pingqun Township is the largest township in Pingqun County, bordering the Ikoma Mountains in the west and Yada Hills in the east. A river named Pingqun River flows through the middle of this piece of flat land. This is a secondary water system belonging to the Yamato River, which irrigates a large area of ​​fertile land in the northwest of the Yamato Kingdom, and is also the basis for supporting the powerful armed forces of the Kingdom of God. The most developed area in the Yamato River Basin happens to be between the Yamato Kingdom and the Hanoi Country next to it. most developed area.

Because of the special topography of the mountains in the west and the hills in the east, Pingqun Township was named Pingqun Valley. Daojia is located in the southwest of Pingqunchuan, a city built by Pingqunchuan in the east, and southeast of Pingqun Township across the river. , is the leader of the Tsubaki family, who has been an enemy for generations.

Yamatojima, also written as Shimashi, is said to be a descendant of the Fujiwara surname. It was transformed into a samurai in the late Kamakura period. In the fourth year of Kamakura (1329 in the Western calendar), the name of Hiraqun Shimaharu appeared in the text written on the bamboo card for Kasuga Xingxing’s equipment. , This is the first time that the Shimao family participated in the activities of Yamato in the name of a Chinese. It seems that Shimao is the only one in Yamato.

The lineage of the Tsubaki family is much stronger than that of the Shima family whose pedigree is unclear. Not only does the Tsubaki family exist in Yamato, but there is also a Tsubaki family in Kyoto. Yan Fujiwara's house moved to Pingqun Valley and called himself the Chunjing family. In the fifth year of Hong'an (1282 in the Western calendar), he was promoted to Danayan, served as the guardian of the four countries of Iga, Yamato, Hanoi, and Awa, and built Chunjing Castle.

Ordinarily, there should be no conflicts between these two families, both from the Fujiwara clan, but the problem just arose, and it broke out very violently. The reason is because of their respective belief positions. The disciples of the Mahayana Institute, and the disciples belonging to the two sects, what would be the consequences if they were neighbors in the same village?The results speak for themselves.

The relationship between the two parties was originally a needle-point-to-maimang relationship. Because of their different belief positions, they have fought many large and small joint battles in the past 200 years. Moment stepped on Tsubaki's foot hard without hesitation, and stood on Tsutsui's side.

On December 17th, the 1486th year of Civilization (92 in the Western calendar), the two families fought a battle in Pingqun Valley. The 92-year-old Tsubaki Echizen entered Taoism and was begged to death by the governor of the Dao family. At the age of [-], he went to battle in person, and in the end, it happened that his head was cut off by Daozuomen, the governor of the Dao family. It is really sad enough.

Just cut off the head of the old governor of the Chunjing family. Of course it can’t be over like this. In the midst of a sad article in the Chunjing family, he immediately decided to take revenge. Our hometown governor is highly respected in Yamato. , don’t your family know how to respect the old and love the young?

So several powerful retainers who belonged to the Tsubaki family, such as Kizawa Inaba, Tachino Hoki, Koriyama Koshichu, Jushi Hyogo, Ozu Minbu, Araki Toe, and so on, decided to do nothing at all at dawn the next day. Raid the island's house to avenge the old governor's death.

Sure enough, just after dawn the next morning, a fire broke out in the island city, and the head of the left door of the island, who was still sleeping ignorantly, moved. Kizawa Inaba used the same method to cut off his head, and came here after hearing the news The Dao family's retainers quickly cleaned up the group of assassins. Except for a few lucky ones who escaped in the chaos, several masterminds did not escape the fate of being killed.

The warrior Kizawa Inaba came back to admire his spoils, but was beheaded by the angry Shima family on the spot. The heads of the two families' governors were removed one after another. This is a mortal feud. He has completely become a sworn enemy, and he must be careful not to go alone when he goes out, for fear of being stared at by the other party and his head removed.

After arriving in Daocheng, I met the current governor of the island, Tomoyuki Daozuo, who is over 70 years old. He is a bald uncle. His father, Tomomitsu Shima, also called Zuomen Shima, is an old man who is almost [-] years old this year. It is said that he has an older brother, Yumitsu Shima, who is also called Zuomen Shima, but he was unlucky enough to be decapitated by the Tsubaki family.

Listening to the family history of the family governor of the island family, Kira Wansongmaru thought with a smile on his face: "The name of this family is really amazing, it is the family governor who had his head removed. Zuo Nei, the family governor of the previous generation was named Dao Zuomen Yousheng, and his childhood name was Zuo Nei. This generation’s family governor, Dao Youzhi, was called Dao Zuo Jin because his older brother passed away, and his childhood name was also Zuo Nei. What about this little Zuo Nei? ? Isn’t that right near the island?”

"So as the current governor, you will be called Shima Sakon, and your son will definitely be called Shima Sakon in the future?"

"Yes! Guest! Zuo Nei will inherit my name and become Dao Zuo Jin in the future. Although it is a bit regrettable, I can only hope that he will have more sons in the future, and then continue to pass on the name of Dao Zuo Men!" Dao Youzhi smiled kindly, not at all surprised that this distinguished guest from Kyoto was inquiring about the history of his family.

People in Kyoto are always curious about everything they see. It is said that a person from Kyoto went to Tsugaru’s Outer Banks for on-the-spot investigation in order to see the appearance of Ezo, and even drew a picture of a seascape with ice and snow. The people of Kyoto are the representatives of being idle. It is not too strange for the Shima family to meet a nobleman from Kyoto who is idle and bored. It is not too strange to go to Pingqun Township to inquire about their family.
