PS. Thank you for the reward of the book friend Shengyao Tear Yang, this is the third update. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking through the streets of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine has a different feeling, the quiet old city with ancient trees rising to the sky exudes a peaceful atmosphere, passing through the central area of the shrine, you can see large and small courtyards everywhere Walking during the period, listening to the melodious bells in the shrine and the sound of chanting in the morning class.
Uesugi selectively ignored the noise made by the tourists next to him, reached out and stroked a stone slab next to him, said goodbye to Aragaki Yui and promised to see him in an hour, he suddenly felt a little lost.
Most of the scenery and buildings he saw have been recast in later generations, the original real Kamakura Hachimangu Shrine has been destroyed several times in war, and it has been rebuilt several times, the Muromachi Shogunate, the Odawara Hojo clan of the Warring States Period, and the Edo Shogunate have all rebuilt Hachimangu Shrine, and the most recent rebuild was after the Great Tokyo Earthquake and Tsunami.
Shrines can be destroyed, samurai can die in battle, but new life, an unyielding will, is always there.
Counting the technology nerd, he can be said to be half of the Celestial Empire, thinking of this, he also has to admit that the protection of cultural relics in Japan is better than that of the Celestial Empire, and when the warlords fought and the ten years of catastrophe, countless cultural relics and monuments have completely disappeared.
The history of the Genpei War, did not disappear because of the destruction of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine again and again, when the Minamoto Yoritomo raised troops in the Kanto, countless samurai in the Kanto region responded, the first battle of the Fuji River, the surprise attack on the Valley of Ichi, the decisive battle of Tannoura, the Shokushi Rebellion 190,000 samurai went to Beijing, slaughtered the samurai of the northern country, and exiled four emperors to the frontier to count the stars.
Walking on the Taiko Bridge, that magnificent history seems like yesterday.
Under the Taiko Bridge is a large lotus pond, this lotus pond also has a nice name called Gen Hirai, the so-called Gen Flat is Hojo Masako as the "Ni Gotai" era, the two huge lotus ponds excavated are called Genji Land and Taira Land respectively, there are three artificial islands in Genji Land There are four artificial islands in Tairaji Land, and it is said to symbolize all the processes of people from birth to death.
After passing the Taiko Bridge into the core area of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, in front of which is a large stone section of 61 steps, the dance hall in front of you is the place where Minamoto Yoshitsune's beloved concubine "Jingomae" presented the white beat dance, at that time, Minamoto Yoshitsune had fled to Oshu, Jingomae was captured by the Kamakura shogunate, and the shogun Minamoto Yoritomo forced her to dance in this dance hall when she was already pregnant.
"I'm deeply attached to the person who left footprints on the snow of Mt. Yoshino and then drifted to Oshu separately! Ah Jing, Ah Jing, you are like the ball of twine used by Bunori, spinning your life like twine, how nice it would be if you were like now...... "Uesugi Soyuki has a family history, and naturally knows this ballad, a sad ballad that his grandfather taught him when he was a child, and he hummed softly.
"Is this man sick?" a young couple saw him suddenly singing in front of the dance hall, looked at him with disdain, cursed in their mouths, and walked away.
Uesugi Soyuki's singing level is very average, and he can only say that there is a tune, he doesn't sing well, and it's human nature to be despised by others, and when he heard this remark, he just smiled helplessly.
Most of the true samurai who established the Kamakura shogunate had been killed or extinct in hundreds of years of war, and after the Onin War in 1467, many earth dogs turned into samurai, who were more cunning, more cunning, more disregarded the rules, and killed the original samurai like a bunch of scum, replaced them, and then did whatever it took to fight for their own things.
The true samurai shed their own blood for glory and faith, and in the end Oda Nobunaga basically swept away Gyeonggi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi swept the world with the force of the wind and waves, and Tokugawa Ieyasu became the one who picked peaches.
In fact, among the current samurai leaders, the Tokugawa family and the Maeda family, who served as the last descendants of the samurai family, were not serious descendants, but were reckless samurai who emerged in the Warring States period.
Forget it, leave this matter alone.
Yonezawa Uesugi clan originated from the Echigo Nagao clan, and the Echigo Nagao clan is after the Bando Taira clan, the Uesugi family is a rare family tree clear, which can be barely traced back to the samurai Chinese clan during the Genpei War, and most of the Chinese family trees are either vague or forcibly recognized as godfathers, and generally from the Edo period, there will be a clear family map.
After speaking, Uesugi Soyuki looked at the couple who were excitedly standing in front of the dance hall in various poses, taking pictures with gold and silver jewelry, and whispered silently: "One generation can cultivate nouveau riche, but three generations can cultivate nobles." ”
His words were spoken in Chinese, and no one understood.
After a brief pause in front of the dance hall, he led Lance to the main hall.
Passing through the cherry blossom gate, you can see the main hall, there is a ginkgo tree with lush branches in the small square, this ginkgo tree is the big ginkgo tree that Hachimangu Bedang Gen Gongxiao ambushed and killed the Gen Dynasty, and under this big tree, a farce of a nephew assassinating his uncle was staged, which directly led to the complete severance of the Genji lineage in Kawachi, and it is still unknown what role Hojo Masako played in it.
"In his later years, the Duke of Kamakura was thin and gracious, and killed all the heroes who fought for him one by one, even his brothers and nephews, and he didn't let go of his own brothers and nephews, and he was killed like a river of blood, and helped him lay down a whole world of younger brother Yoshitsune, who did his best for the shogunate, and in his most difficult time with 20,000 cavalry in support of him, he also led a loyal general, etc., all of whom he found an inexplicable head to kill, slaughtered all the heroes, and as a result, his own blood line was also cut off within three generations. . . Sure enough, it's a report and a report.。。。 Looking at the ginkgo tree, Uesugi Soyuki sighed.
Lance said I'll listen, I won't speak.
Uesugi Soyuki just sighed and made a speech.
He remembered Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's founding heroes, except for Xu Da who died of illness (doubtful), Liu Bowen was in hiding, and the other heroes were basically killed by him, but not long after he died, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts in the Battle of Jingyan are unknown, although I don't know if he died, but there is no doubt that the bloodline from Zhu Yuanzhang to the prince Zhu Biao has been cut off.
The same is true of Minamoto Yoritomo, the opening general of the Kamakura shogunate, who is very talented politically and economically, but he is very average in terms of martial arts and commanding ability.
After losing many times in a row, Minamoto Yoritomo learned that if I want to fight, I must start a war when there are more people than you, morale is higher than you, and preparations are better than you, so this is how the Fujigawa Battle was won.
However, the Battle of Fujikawa actually did not start, and Takeda Nobuyoshi, who served as the vanguard, alarmed the waterfowl in the reeds when he wanted to make a surprise attack, and as a result, the Taira army, which was already short of food and mixed personnel and whose morale had plummeted, was directly frightened and retreated en masse, and Minamoto Yoritomo won the battle inexplicably.
After that, Minamoto Yoritomo stayed in Kamakura and never went to the battlefield again, and most of the whole world was actually defeated by his younger brother Gen Yoshijing, so he knew that if he fought, he would definitely not be the opponent of Gen Yoshitsune, and even several of his generals, so he killed them in his later years.
As the history of the past flowed through his mind, Uesugi Soyuki stepped into the majestic hall, took out a five-yuan coin, threw it into the cash box, and clapped his hands to pray for blessings from the supreme god in the hearts of the samurai, "Minami Muhachiman Daimeijin".
Originally, the Celestial Empire's technocrats who believed in Marxism-Leninism did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but this kind of thing can be encountered through it, and he didn't dare to think about whether there were gods and Buddhas in this world, so Uesugi Soyuki still decided to give the gods and Buddhas a face.
Of course, if this "Minami no Hachiman Daimyojin" can hear it, his wish is "May the white bridge ... There is also the possibility of seven getting along in the future, and there will be no trouble at home, and I hope that Nogizaka 46 can beat AKB48 to the top in the future". I don't know if it will bring down the thunder.
After making a wish, he met with the chief priest of the shrine, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he promised a donation of 50 million yen, which made the old priest's eyes narrow with a smile, and he only felt that this descendant of the Yonezawa Uesugi family should come often.
"If you don't give up, Uesugi-kun, please have a light meal here before leaving!" the high priest invited.
"Oh, but there are quite a few people on my side!" Uesugi said with a playful look at the Grand Priest.
"A meal, the shrine can still afford to be invited. The great priest also smiled sincerely, the food at the shrine was simple, even if Uesugi Soyuki pulled a company, it was a fraction of the 50 million he donated, and he should still be generous when he should be generous.
"That'll be fine!" Uesugi remembered a joke he had heard when he was a student in the United States: God is in heaven, why should we build churches? That's because churches are where God does business on earth.
The shrine is also where these gods do business on earth.
At the same time, the girls of Nogizaka 46 also arrived at the Ichinotorii gate.
A large group of staff members outside surrounded the dozen or so girls inside, attracting attention, and many of them began to feel the pressure.
On the contrary, Erika Ikuta looked like "I'm so excited, I'm so excited", and she was very excited, facing the camera, not only did she not feel the pressure, but she also loudly asked everyone to support Nogizaka 46.
With Huahua's efforts, many tourists in the neighborhood know that this is a girl idol group and are doing shows here.
However, Nana Hashimoto did not look at the road with no end in sight, and was dazed.
"Nanamin, what are you thinking?" Mai Fukagawa asked, noticing Nanawei's abnormality.
"No... I'm thinking, the samurai, what a really amazing group of people. Nana Hashimoto looked at the huge bright red torii gate and said in a daze.
The girl suddenly felt small.
"Often think about this world, floating zero and uncertain, sigh the moon in the water, floating like morning dew, fifty years in the world, compared with heaven and earth, like a small thing, look at the world dreamy like water, let life once, into the extinction immediately in the present... Nanami Hashimoto whispered.
Youth is short, and time is fleeting.
The girl suddenly laughed.
What do you want to do so much? Take advantage of your happiness now!
That's what he taught me.
