A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Kodaira sat on the horse and carefully recalled Yamamoto Kansuke's expression at that time. There was no flaw, no nervousness at all, that kind of calm look, free behavior, and faint smile (laughing is worse than crying!).

Movie king!

Oscar winner!

Oscar-winning actor for life!

It was so easy for Xiaopingta, a time-traveling dog and a mature person from Hokahata University, to be deceived by him like that!

But there is nothing surprising about this. The human heart is the hardest thing to see through. To put it bluntly, Xiao Pingtai is still a young man in his twenties. I have seen a lot of dead people, but not many living people with ulterior motives.

Furthermore, Xiaoping Tai has always been a weakling in terms of specific tactics, so he just needs to know his shame and then be brave. This was the first time Xiao Pingtai had independently led the troops. At least he didn't make any mistakes during the battle and the fight was pretty good.

What's more, Yamamoto Kansuke is already over fifty, and Kodaira is only in his twenties. He has been doing more than Kodaira for more than 20 years, so he must be much better than Kodaira in some way.

As for who will win and who loses in future fights, we still don’t know!

Xiao Pingtai tore up the letter and threw it into the air. The scraps of paper flew in the wind and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The army rolled back into the mountains, and the soldiers who had won the battle and looted the mountains happily came to receive the reward from Yamauchi Yoshiharu (although it was generally not much, but the samurai could get the territory, and the soldiers did not dare to think about it. A few A few liters of rice is enough.) The families of soldiers who died in battle also received some compensation.

In the Warring States Period, where life and death were commonplace, life had to go on. The dead person has nothing to do but admit that he is unlucky, not to mention that Yamauchi Yoshiharu actually gained a lot this time. So he opened up his treasury, mobilized the three armies, and annihilated any trace of anti-war sentiment as soon as possible.

After the ordinary soldiers were resettled, they hurried back to their hometowns to participate in spring plowing. After all, bad wars can be fought all year round, but if spring plowing is not done well, we may be hungry for a year.

The warriors don't have to rush back to the countryside to plant rice. Of course, what everyone is waiting for is the grand celebration banquet. This is what all the warriors are most looking forward to. Everyone fights bravely on the battlefield for the sake of the hereditary territory of knowledge and the gold of the chess pieces that exude the glory of the people.

Koheita had killed several Kai warriors on his own name, and was listed as Ue Tahara and Yamauchi Ichiban. He was actually full of expectations. He went home with his uncle Tsunaliang and changed into Wu clothes. The family members were extremely happy to hear about their uncle and nephew's great military exploits.

After entering the city, the drum music was loud, and the specially invited field band danced the field music happily. The warriors exchanged glasses and washed away the blood and dust of the battle with fine wine.

After Yamauchi Yoshiji made a toast, the most exciting reward came.

Odaira Taihara was promoted to Ejiri Castle Dai with an annual salary of 320 kiwan due to the great achievements of Tahara Ichiban, leaving Ejiri as a supervisor. At the same time, as a general of Ejiri's 1st Department, he was given 800 additional knowledge and skills to keep an eye on Ejiri's territory for the Yamauchi family.

Uncle Tsunaliang added 500 kuanwen to his knowledge and became the minor master of 852 guanwen. With his own team of men, he served as Xiaoheita's deputy general and force. At the same time, he was changed from the leader of the flag general group to the general of the attendants, and became the commander of Ejiri's 500 cavalry.

As for the newly acquired Ina County, it was moved to the town by the young assistant in the palace of Isshiki. This was the right thing to do, as the people there had high qualifications and prestige. It's not that this kind of veteran can't let the thorny heads in the new territory die down. After he has smoothed out all the local snakes and made them official, the upper Ina and lower Suwa will be completely pacified.

Uncle Tsunaliang is now serving as the deputy general of Xiaoping Tai, and his mentality has been adjusted very quickly. Xiaoping Taiping has risen to prominence in a few years, but it is all based on his meritorious service in battles, and he is not the kind of enviable villain who is lucky to advance.

As for why he was so happy for Mao, in addition to being promoted and making a fortune, his little wife was pregnant (it is not uncommon to have only one daughter after 20 years of marriage). Not only that, his baby daughter Yoshiharu Yamauchi's side wife Matsunoden is also pregnant. He is going to be a father and a grandpa again, how can he not be happy about it. (Actually, it’s easy to understand. You can’t do anything during the day, let alone at night, in winter. Outdoor activities are too difficult and indoor entertainment is scarce, so it seems normal to get pregnant in winter, right? It’s quite scientific.)

The last step was to meet with several Hatamoto samurai who were part of Uncle Tsunamoto's Hatamoto security team. This time, they were classified as Koheita and Riki together with Uncle Tsunaro. Except for Murakami Yoshimitsu, who had just been promoted to Hatamoto and came to report earlier, There are also two hatatos who have served in the Yamauchi family for generations.

The family is the Iwase family of the 180-kan flag. The father, Iwase Kojuro Motaka, is currently serving as an official. His family background is very good. After the Yoshie family of Hachiman Taro, the common branch of the Kai Takeda family was established in Shinano two hundred years ago. Settled in Iwase-so. However, this Mototaka is fifty-two years old this year and is unable to do what he wants. Although he is still serving his duties, he has already reported it to Yamauchi Yoshinori, and his son Tojiro Motomasa is ready to take over. This Yuan Zheng is young and powerful, so he is good at shooting. He is only 28 years old at the moment and is very brave.

The other family is the Hatamoto-Ogasawara family. Ogasawara and Shiro Nagamasa, a tributary of the Ina-Ogasawara clan, apart from being called Ogasawara, have basically no blood relationship with Shinano's guardian Ogasawara Nagashi. He is twenty-two years old this year. He was previously sent to Kyoto to study martial arts with Master Sheng Zhong due to the Miao name Ogasawara. His father passed away two years ago and now he has returned to inherit the family business. Their family is a local leader in the Yamauchi area. They have been working with the Yamauchi family for three generations, and their family business has reached 270 Guanwen. And this man has also seen the world. A few years ago, Miyoshi Nagakei and Hosokawa Harumoto had a fierce battle in Kinai. He also participated in a battle with his master, so he had seen a big battle involving hundreds of thousands of people.

The three above are all Hatamoto's retainers who have served Yamauchi Yoshitari for generations. The last one, Kanai Meigoro, surprised Kodaira. Although Imai is not a well-known family name throughout the world, there are quite a few people with this Miao name. Uesugi Terutora's family has Imai Kogenta (attached to the Corridor Bridge community), and Takeda Harunobu's family has Imai Zenpachi (Nishi Ueno Sengata). Everyone), there is Imai Shinzo in the Hojo Ujiyasu family (only appeared once when attacking Minawa Castle). They were all born into the Uenokura Ganoi clan, one of the top local snakes in Ueno. It was Hosokawa Harumiya who wrote a handwritten recommendation to come to the Yamauchi family, saying that he was very good at swordsmanship, so he was temporarily placed under the command of Uncle Tsunaro as the Eighty-Kanbun Hatamoto.

Xiaoheita looked at these people, and it turned out that this was not the Edo period when samurai were rampant and worthless. All of them were capable of killing people, so they were quite safe to take with them on the road.
