A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 232 6. The mountain is not a monolith

When Yamauchi's chief planner heard his uncle's words, he was stunned and said, "Heita-chan, this is my uncle Izumo Shouji-sama."

When Kodaira saw that the elder's name was Yamauchi Mochiyoshi, he knew that he must have been a powerful figure back then. The word "mochi" had a lot of origins. He might have been the ancestor Ashikaga Yoshichi who gave it to someone, and who in turn passed it on to someone. This old man. Thinking about how many generations ago those people were, it turns out that people have been sparse since ancient times.

"Greetings to Lord Izumomomo." No matter what he is like, after all, his status is there, and his status is probably the highest among the Yamauchi retainers. If he hadn't been too old, maybe this person would still be the author of Yuichimon.

The old man didn't shy away. He waited patiently for Xiaopingtai to kneel down on one knee and bowed respectfully before asking Xiaopingtai to get up.

"Now let me ask you, where is your hometown?" The old man didn't say anything about the wheat harvest this year, and the weather is really sunny today. Instead, he asked Xiao Pingtai where he was from.

Koheita was about to say it out loud, but after spending so many years in the samurai circle, he was surprised to notice a different aura after just thinking about it. Just like asking someone about their origin, are you Genji? Ping family? Fujiwara? Is it the Kawachi Genji or the Huanwu Ping clan? Is it the Kanshuji-ryu or Kanin-ryu?

This is full of serious class discrimination and exclusivity among the martial arts. Of course, asking Gogan is more straightforward. The same Miao character is Takeda, including Anyun Takeda, Wakasa Takeda, Kai Takeda and Soshu Takeda, which has a low sense of existence. Wakasa Takeda was close to the shogunate and had a high political status. Kai Takeda was born into a famous family and had great social prestige.

When we arrived at Koheita's place, in addition to Shinano's ability, the Yamauchi family now also controlled the entire Toe country, as well as Suruga Shita County and Musashi Tama County. The territory was huge, and the origins of the warriors were mixed. Many samurai from Kanto and Kaido filled it, and gradually the conflict with the superior samurai in Yamauchi emerged.

And Yamanuchi Izumo Moriyoshi was obviously repulsive to those samurai who came from other places, and Koheita happened to have a very high salary among them. With an annual salary of 350 guan and a knowledge and practice of 1,300 guan, he belongs to the type of person who gets ahead quickly.

If you are xenophobic at this time, they will not care whether you have made any great achievements in the past, they will only ask if you are a native of your hometown. The township party is the most important, at all times and in all countries, no matter how important it is.

"The riverside village of Lianchuan, Yamauchi Township, Shinshu Uchida County, has been filled with military service for many generations." Kodaira told the story of his hometown in a leisurely manner.

When the old man heard that it was both Uchida and Yamauchi, his eyebrows immediately relaxed. The dull look on his face turned into a hint of appreciation. Now everyone could see that the old man was xenophobic and only liked locals, not foreigners.

"I am a native of Yamauchi. How many generations have your family been enlisted in the military? Who is your father?" Yamauchi's attitude and tone changed, as if he was talking to family members.

Xiaopingta knew that it was time to perform, so he felt cruel and bit the tip of his tongue with a little force. In an instant, severe pain was transmitted to the brain, and tears rolled down completely uncontrollably.

"My father died in the Uehara War more than ten years ago, and no remains have been found yet." Kodaira lamented about the original owner's advantageous father who joined the army to assist Suwa Yorishige in resisting the Takeda clan's attack, but the result was two More than a thousand troops were defeated by the Takeda family, and 600 soldiers died in the battle. The story of the Yamauchi family's disastrous defeat.

When the old man heard this, he seemed to feel something in his heart and feel sad. "I didn't expect that my father, who was loyal to the mountains, died in the king's affairs. I shouldn't mention your sadness."

This attitude changed quickly. At first, he seemed to be questioning Xiao Pingtai. Later, when I heard that Koheta was a native of Yamauchi, my attitude immediately softened a lot. When I learned that three generations of Koheta's family had served in the military, and that his father died fighting for the country, and his body was not found, he completely regarded Koheta as one of his own. .

After all, Xiaoping Tai's background was fine, and the three generations of people were loyal to their Yamauchi family and worked hard to serve the public. Yamauchi Mochiyoshi just has an inherent prejudice and does not like outsiders to share the power of the Yamauchi family. But Yamauchi is naturally caring for his own people.

Xiaoping Taiyi held back her tears when she saw that the old man had settled things down so easily. He said thank you to the boss for your concern and expressed his gratitude to Yamauchi Mokiyoshi.

But after the old man seemed to confirm that Xiaopingtai was one of his own, he thought of Xiaopingtai's many meritorious services and liked this young man very much.

"Are you getting married now? Have you ever made a marriage contract at home?" Then the much-loved drama of caring for young people was immediately staged.

The scene moved too fast, and Xiaoping couldn't accept it for a while. It’s neither the New Year nor the festival, so why do you suddenly start asking if you have a partner?

I believe you as a ghost! The bad old man is very bad!

"No one in the family holds a broom yet. As for the engagement?" Xiaopingtai is not married. There is nothing to hide. There is no way to hide this kind of thing. It is obvious that she is a bachelor. But the two bosses, Harumiya Hosokawa and Keizuna Naoe, both have daughters at home. Although they are still young, the two bosses seem to be interested in marrying Heita. It's just that the matter hasn't been brought to light yet, so it hasn't been made public yet.

"It is also a priority for a man of the Wu family to have heirs. Your more than a thousand knowledge and actions must be succeeded by someone. But if there is a woman you want, I still have some face, I will help you raise it." When the old man heard Xiaoping Tai has no wife, and he looks three years younger all over. He just wants to help Xiao Ping Tai be a matchmaker.

When the Chief Accountant Yamauchi saw that his uncle was so gossipy, he immediately pulled the old man to his side and said, "Wait a minute, Chief Accountant, you have a daughter, right? She's just the right age, is that interesting?"

Now Yamauchi's chief planner was also embarrassed, "My daughter has already been married to Hosokawa."

It turns out that the muscular man’s wife of Hosokawa Harimeo is your daughter. It’s so early to place your bet. Xiaopingtai heard another piece of gossip and made a mental note.

"Are you married? That boy from Harugong's family? He's a good match. He won't disgrace the Yamauchi family." The old man saw that his eldest nephew's daughter had already been settled, so he commented and expressed his satisfaction.

Xiao Ping Tai didn't want to let the old man be the matchmaker anymore, "The soldiers and horses are ruthless and have no intention of having an affair with their children."

The reason is very noble and upright. The world has not yet become unified, and there is no intention of having an affair between children.

But the old man kept asking, "Your eldest brother has a daughter at home, right?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu also has a daughter, and Heita also knows about this.

Chief Accountant Yamauchi suddenly thought of Yamauchi Mochiyoshi's little daughter. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, leaned into the old man's ear, and mumbled something.

After hearing this, the old man murmured to himself: "It turns out that I have taken a fancy to the daughter of the prostitute's family."

What the hell! There is a traitor in our country!
