Chapter 34 Pine Mountain Seal

It's mid-April, and it's the most beautiful time of year on Mount Matsumoto. Today, Mt. Matsumoto is full of flowers, and the colors of greenery are endless. Looking around, it makes people feel a sense of vitality. Rao is Matsugami Yoshimitsu was originally in a bad mood, it seems that this mountain and this water will also be swept away in the future, and his heart will be depressed. Especially after thinking that this mountain and this water and the beauty he conceived all belonged to him, Matsugami Yoshimitsu added a sense of freedom in his heart.

At this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was standing on Mt. Matsumoto and looking at the beautiful scenery of the flowers, trees, mountains and rivers of Mt. Matsumoto, and he suddenly had an idea. Why don't I incorporate this mountain and this tree into my family crest? Isn't that more representative of me Yoshimitsu Matsugami? The more Matsugami thought about it in his heart, the deeper he went out, and he gradually became obsessed with the changes in the outside world and became obsessed with his inner world.

"His Highness Yoshimitsu, His Highness Yoshimitsu, what's wrong with you?" Nana in the side room saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu distracted, and couldn't help but shout.

"Oh, it's nothing, the main hall just thinks of something else. The scenery is almost there, shall we go back? Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who had regained his thoughts on the family crest, proposed to Nana on the side of the room.

"Okay, His Highness Yoshimitsu." Nana was a smart woman who saw that Matsugami Yoshimitsu had something to do and returned to Matsumoto Castle with him.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu immediately returned to his room after pacifying Nana, and he finally had a complete idea of the family crest and horse seal he was going to use. For the choice of family crest, Matsugami Yoshimitsu finally decided to use the pine leaf pattern, and the pine tree is evergreen and is a good tree. As for the pattern, in order to achieve an aesthetic effect, Matsugami decided to use a pattern arranged in a spiral shape with three leaves. In the choice of the horse seal, Matsugami Yoshimitsu decided to use Mt. Matsumoto, which was his foundation, as the prototype and transformed the mountain character mountain pattern as his horse seal. At this point, Matsugami Yoshimitsu's three-leaf pine pattern family pattern and mountain character pattern horse seal were officially formed.

Day 2. Matsugami Yoshimitsu's retainers responded to the call of the lord Matsugami Yoshimitsu and hurried from their residence to the Matsumoto Castle assessment room for evaluation.

"Saigo-sama, you said it's not time for the assessment yet? What did the Lord summon us for? On the way to the Matsumoto Castle Assessment Room, the retainer Yoshiki Nagamasa said to the old Saigo Kanhisa, who was also rushing to the Matsumoto Castle Assessment Room.

Saigo Kanjiu said with a wry smile. "Lord Changzheng, our lord is unrestrained and often does not play cards according to common sense. The old man doesn't know what the lord means today. But I'm sure the main guild will tell us later. Let's take a closer look. With that, Saigo Kanjiu rushed forward.

"That's true, but if the lord is too conformist, it will be too boring." Yoshiki Nagamasa muttered to himself and immediately rushed to the assessment room. ......

After a while, the retainers were all in the assessment room and waited for the arrival of the lord Matsugami Yoshimitsu. Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that the retainers were almost there, so he slowly walked into the assessment room and sat cross-legged in his seat.

"Meet my lord." When the retainers saw Matsugami seated, they saluted him and sat down again.

"This temple has summoned you here today because of a happy event to inform you." Matsugami Yoshimitsu looked at the retainers and said slowly.

"This happy event is that the family has finally been allowed to use the family crest and horse seal by Lord Righteous Justice, and from then on, the main hall can be regarded as one of the important ministers of the Matsugami family."

"The Lord Wu is prosperous." The retainers congratulated in unison.

"It's great."

"This family will be regarded as having a legacy in the future, and it will no longer be an unknown person." ......

Despite the differences in words and expressions, Matsugami Yoshimitsu's retainers were all very happy. This kind of joy is not experienced by people in any era, and only samurai with family crest and horse seal can be regarded as truly entering the privileged class of samurai. Matsugami Yoshimitsu did not stop the rudeness of his retainers and watched them express their joy.

It took a while for the retainers to gradually quiet down. At this time, the old Xixiang Guanjiu stood up and said. "I wonder what pattern the lord will use as the family crest and horse seal of his family?"

"Yes, my lord, what are the family crests and horse prints of this family?" The impatient Yoshiki Nagamasa followed the old Saigo Kanjiu and asked. Although the rest of the retainers did not say much, they could not hide their curiosity about their family crests and horse seals.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't let the retainers wait too long, he immediately instructed the small surname. "I will show you the pattern prepared by the main hall for you to see." Then the little ones passed on the family crest and horse seal that Matsugami Yoshimitsu had already prepared to the retainers.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu also introduced to the retainers. "Ladies and gentlemen, our family's home crest uses a three-leaf pine pattern to symbolize longevity. The horse seal of the main family is a mountain pattern that represents the origin of the family, Matsumoto Mountain. What do you think? ”

"Haha." The retainers will find fault with Yoshimitsu Matsumi here, and they all agreed.

"Okay, then the main hall will announce another thing." Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that his retainers had no opinion and continued. "Now the family is also firmly established in this place. However, in the early days of the main temple, the positions and rights of the retainers were somewhat mixed. Today, the main hall has re-established your responsibilities. ”

"What?" Saigo Kanhisa and other retainers were happy and worried after listening to Matsugami Yoshimitsu's decision, some of them wanted to obtain a higher position of power, and some were afraid of losing the power in their hands.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu ignored the various forms of the retainers and continued. "The main hall has decided to use Saigo Kanhisa-sama as the family's military advisor. Commander in charge of strategy"

"Haha."

"Ryoki Kazuhei is the family's agricultural pursuit. In charge of agricultural mulberry field tax. ”

"Haha."

"With Ryoki Nagamasa as the military commissioner of the family, he is in charge of leading the troops and training the troops."

"Haha."

“......”

“......”

"In the end, take Saigo Takahisa as the leader of the ashigaru group."

"Haha."

Matsugami Yoshimitsu appointed them one by one, and the retainers received the orders one by one, and soon Matsugami Yoshimitsu properly distributed the positions and rights of the retainers.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu continued after seeing that his retainers were all at peace. "Now the main hall is announcing the second decision. There are now 60 ashigaru members in the family. The main hall has now decided to divide these 60 ashigaru into two parts, 30 for the bow and 30 for the spear. In addition, a group of 10 people will be set up with an ashigaru group leader. Do you understand? ”

"Haha." The retainers agreed.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu instructed his new military officer, Yoshiki Nagamasa. "Changzheng, after the reorganization of the military system in this hall, you must step up training and immediately form combat effectiveness."

"Yes, my lord." Yoshiki Nagamasa immediately received the order. ......

In this way, Matsugami Yoshimitsu reformed the laws of his family, so that the retainers could better unite in the leadership circle dominated by him.
