A group of cavalry, winding along the mountain and forest paths, in the cavalry ranks, there are several ox carts.

This train was the way from Kyoto to Izumo by Lu Ning and the musket light horsemen.

accompanied by Fujiwara Yoritada, who went to Harima Province to take over as Harimamoru Mamoru.

Fujiwara Yoritashi is the most important son of Sekibai Fujiwara Minori, the brother of Fujiwara Qimin, and the second man.

Three years ago, Fujiwara Yoritada was supported by his father as a member of the palace and one of the eight senators.

But now, apparently, Fujiwara Yoritashi realizes that holding a high public position in the capital is only afraid that in the great changes of the past thousand years, he will be eliminated sooner or later, or become a puppet of some powerful people.

Yes, it happened that Harima Kuniji had been in the capital and refused to go to the poor countryside outside Heiankyo, if before, this was the norm, but now it has provoked the anger of Emperor Lengsen, so Fujiwara Yoritada took the initiative to ask Harima Mamoru to serve.

It also happened that the Qi people who had slapped their cousin were also going west, and returned to the Central Plains from Izumo Province, so they made an appointment with them.

Of course, Lu Ning's so-called return to the Central Plains from Izumo Country is naturally an excuse, although he will eventually return to the Central Plains from Izumo or Unami, but that is to get Iwami Silver Mountain, and after Baoyi gives birth, how can it be the midsummer season after May.

On the way, I chatted with this Fujiwara Yorizhong, but I felt that it was completely different from Fujiwara Qimin, he was a talented person with a unique vision, and it was no wonder that Fujiwara Minori regarded this second son as the person who inherited his career.

However, in history, Fujiwara Shiyori's lineage, in the end, still did not compete with his younger brother Fujiwara Shisuke's lineage, or because of his family, he was lonely and lonely, and his sons were more competitive.

The Dongying clan, the family affection is extremely thin, and they may be able to hug together when they encounter a strong enemy, but they will also become opponents for the sake of power, such as Fujiwara Shiyori and his younger brother Fujiwara Shisuke, who once fought for his father, who was Guan Bai, only remotely led the official position to extinguish the Ping Jiangmen, whether to receive the biggest reward, and launched a famous debate, which also made the ministers of the DPRK and China split, and each supported one of their brothers.

Fujiwara Laizhong, obviously has the same relationship with his brother Qi Min, I don't know what the relationship between the two is, but at least, Fujiwara Laizhong, it seems, wants to be friends with Lu Ning.

And no matter what rumors have already been about this Qi person, he has an affair with his brother and daughter-in-law.

In fact, this rumor originated from well-informed people who knew that after Kyoko Fukada was captured in Kanto, she was rewarded to this Qi person as a maidservant because she concealed her identity.

Moreover, whether it is in Owari or Kyoto, both of them live in the same manor, and they go in and out together.

Because of this, there are such rumors, but it has nothing to do with the fact that Lu Ning and Kyoko Fukada really have a dewy relationship.

And Fujiwara Yorizhong was surprised to see that among the female dependents of Qiren's several ox carts, not only were there many beauties, but there was even the figure of Yuhime, thinking about it, I was afraid that he was even more convinced that the rumors were groundless and may not be without reason.

Walking with Lu Ning, in addition to Yuhime, Jizi and Zizi, there are also Prince Fukonai and Madong Hime.

Toyota Matoshi was entrusted with the important task of envoy to the Izumo Embassy.

Of course, this is to cover Lu Ning, so that Lu Ning, who can actually operate Izumo and Iwami changes, can hide behind the scenes and command.

It's just that this deep meaning is not known to the real winter hime.

Lu Ning had also sent a letter to New Tang City and New Qi City, asking Empress Xiao and Yi Lazy to lead the remaining four hundred soldiers of the Xuanfu camp to come to Izumo Country.

Originally, theoretically, there was no need for the four hundred Xuanfu pawns to help in the war, Lu Ning wanted to wait for Huang Baoyi to retreat for a period of time after giving birth, and then Empress Xiao and Yi Lazy would lead the Xuanfu pawns and pick up Huang Baoyi to Izumo.

But in the spring, Lu Ning missed Queen Xiao and Yi Lazy a little, which made them come now.

As for Huang Baoyi, speaking of which, she should have picked it up herself.

And, if things go well, on her own foot, maybe she can catch up with her to give birth.

As for Prince Fuzi, after the incident at the East China Sea Tea House, he took the opportunity to follow Zizi into Kiyomizu Temple, and Zizi begged for herself, so she was left to her.

Fujiwara Yoritada, it doesn't matter if you see Fuko or Yuhime or not, you won't be silent when you see him. Xiaotao Chinese

……

Harima Province, located on the main road from Kyoto to the western country, has developed agriculture and fishing, but because it is located in the plains, it is easy to be conquered, and it is in the pocket of other daimyo during the Warring States period, and there are no strong heroes born in the area.

The Kokusho Mansion is located under Himeyama, in the area of the castle town of Himeji Castle during the Warring States period, and today, an imperial palace surrounded by this village is where the Kokushofu is located.

Harima Suke Akamatsu Yusuke, who acted for state affairs, came from Akamatsu of Ako County in Harima Province, and as for the name Yusuke, when I heard it, I knew that it was after making Harimasuke, and it slowly changed from an honorific title to a name.

In the past, the national secretary of the flowing water, the iron-beaten Akamatsuke, the old man seems to have served as Harimasuke for more than 20 years.

During this period, very few national secretaries arrived.

Lu Ning did not participate in the deep conversation between Akamatsu Yusuke and Fujiwara Yoritada, but only thanked Akamatsu Yusuke for providing accommodation for his group, and then left.

Akamatsu Yusuke seemed to be very prestigious, and more than 20 families in the village town vacated their houses.

Of course, Lu Ning naturally gave the corresponding remuneration.

Moreover, these houses are only for the musket light riders to settle down and wash away their fatigue, and Lu Ning rested in the ox cart carriage all the way, after all, at least the felt cloth and so on in the carriage are his own things.

three ox carts, one carrying Yu Ji and Ji Zi; one carrying auxiliary sons and zizi; One carries Lu Ning and Madong Ji.

The same is true when resting.

After dinner in the evening, Fujiwara Yoritada came to visit.

On the side of the ox cart, Lu Ning and he were both sitting on a simple pony, Fujiwara Lai Zhong was greatly surprised, and said with a smile: "The Central Plains really has a lot of ingenuity, it turns out, there is also this kind of seat, which is easy to carry and quite comfortable to sit on." ”

Lu Ning smiled, and said in his heart that this was the invention of the northern tribe, and he only made a slight improvement.

"Lord Ban, I'm thinking, this Harima County, I wonder if I can invite the Central Plains Embassy to open the museum? If I can, I can say yes to anything. ”

Fujiwara Yoritada's words suddenly changed, but he went straight to the point.

The establishment of an embassy also means that the Qi people will support him, just like the Edogami embassy in the Kanto region, the Kanto imperial leader Toyoda Nakaren has the support of the Qi people, and the Owari embassy, and the Kanchu management leader Fukada Kyoko has the support of the Qi people.

Now, Qi people don't know why, and they are going to Izumo to open a museum again, which makes Fujiwara Yoritada have a trace of fantasy.

But unfortunately, Lu Ning shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not necessary to open a museum here, if there is an overseas Chinese consulate here, it will naturally be handled by the Kyoto Embassy." ”

In addition to Kyoto, there are three of the four major embassies, Edo, Owari, and Izumo (Iwami).

There will also be a place on Kyushu Island to coordinate the trade affairs between the Central Plains and Kyushu.

After all, the core area of the Central Plains is now trading with Dongying, and the nearest HNA route is still from Shandong Daodeng Prefecture to Dongying's Kyushu land.

And this Harima, there is really no need to open the museum.

These five embassies are enough to turn Japan into a puppet land, but it is inevitable that it will be restrained by the Central Plains from now on.

Listening to Lu Ning's words, Fujiwara Lai Zhong showed a disappointed look, looked at Lu Ning, and said very sincerely: "Master Ban, I know that you can influence a lot of things, I hope you will think about it again, as long as you can open a museum in Harima, you can talk about any conditions." ”

Lu Ning rubbed his nose, obviously, these are not so drunk and dreaming of death, many shrewd people, according to various signs, can guess that they are not actually a small Qi team leader, but a very important person in the opening of the embassy, because almost wherever the embassy is opened, he is the first to arrive.

"Just because you don't open here doesn't mean you and Qi people can't be friends." Lu Ning smiled and said: "Moreover, for the internal affairs of Japan, the members of the Bianjing temple already feel that they are too deeply involved, we don't want to interfere in your internal affairs and make enemies of any party, anyone who wants to make friends with us, we are open-minded, Lai Zhong, we don't want to become the ruler of Dongyingdi, it is a heavy burden to support this large population and make their lives better and better, isn't it?" ”

Fujiwara Yoritada sighed softly, but with some relief.
