Nashiro, in Japan, means to represent or communicate with someone in the name of a certain person. On the other hand, there are also guardian generations, city generations, etc., in short, it probably means to exercise rights on behalf of others.

This practice originated in the Japanese emperor, who believed that the emperor was a descendant of the gods, and that ordinary people were not qualified to meet and talk with the emperor. It is said that when a person of low status sees the face of the emperor, he will be blinded and deaf when he hears the emperor's voice, so in ancient times, the emperor of Japan always used a bamboo curtain to cover himself and keep away from people when he met people. But how can the emperor's will be conveyed? This was conveyed by the Imperial Family or a noble person such as Fujiwara, and the origin of the name began from there.

Later, when Fujiwara was in charge of the world, in order to emulate the emperor, he also began to use some close people to meet with lowly people on his behalf, but at this time, the name was probably just a mouthpiece.

The real power of the name was when the samurai were in the world, and the samurai who got the world began to learn from the public in order to wash away the vulgar name on their bodies. But at this time, the name of the dynasty was not just a mouthpiece, but more like an envoy, and sometimes they even decided the rise and fall of the samurai. As a result, the samurai were even more important when choosing the name of the country, and if they were not a retainer who had real talent and was trusted by the lord, they could not hold the position of name generation.

Therefore, Kizo Masatada's decision to make him the name of Nishiki Shinji at such a moment almost means entrusting the fate of the Nishiki clan into his hands.

Miki Castle Tower.

Facing the surprise of Kizo Masatdada, Hitoki Shinji said without the slightest hesitation: "That's right, Masada. The main hall wants you to take the name of the main hall to meet with the Ohno clan. You also know that at this moment, the main hall is going to sit in Miki Castle and not go out, and Nobusada is too young to take on any big responsibilities. As for the others, the main hall really can't be trusted, and now the main hall can only ask you to be faithful. ”

The sincerity of Renmu Shinji's words made Kizo Masataka very grateful, he didn't expect the lord to be so trustworthy, and he immediately said excitedly: "Haha, since that's the case, then leave everything to you." ”

After a pause, Muzo Masatuda asked Renmu Shinji for instructions with some hesitation: "I don't know what instructions the lord has for this mission?" Please also make the Lord public. ”

In fact, Kizo Masada also guessed what he was going to the Ohno family for this time as the name of Shinji Niki? It's nothing more than offering Tuna City to surrender. In Kizo Masatada's opinion, this is really a wise choice for the current Renki family, but the specific decision is better for Renki Shinji to say it himself.

Shinji Renmu naturally understood what Kizo Masatuga was asking, although he was reluctant in his heart, but this was the only way for the Renmu family to survive.

"Huh~~~" Renmu Shinji took a deep breath and said: "Zhengzhong, I think you also understand that now this Miki City is not protected by my Renmu family." The main hall did not want to let the people suffer in vain, so the main hall wanted to hand over Miki Castle to the Ohno clan in exchange for the peace of the clan and the people. This time, as the name of the main hall, you will go and discuss this matter with the Ohno clan!"

Shinji Nishiki couldn't hold back his tears, it may be easy to make the right decision, but it is not easy to accept it from the heart. After all, Miki City is the residence of the Renmu clan for generations, and now how can he not feel sad if he wants to hand it over?

"Don't be sad, lord. The people of Miki will remember your kindness and kindness, and your retainers will not turn their backs on you. In time, we will soon have new city territories. Seeing that Renmu Shinji's face was sad and sad, he was moved, so he hurriedly comforted him.

Sometimes reluctance is greater than determination, and it is precisely because of his reluctance that the greatness of decision is highlighted.

Shinji Niki was naturally not an ordinary person, and he quickly recovered from his momentary grief. "That's right, Zhengzhong. You're right, the temple will be regained in the coming days of the day. You also go down and prepare, and tomorrow you will go to the Ono clan's main camp to discuss the matter of handing over the city. ”

"Haha."

Seeing that the lord had regained his ambition, Kizo Masata hurriedly retired, after all, tomorrow's meeting with the Ohno clan would not be an easy thing to do.

......

On the second day, outside Miki Castle, the Ono clan was in the main camp.

After the great victory of Kanotani, Ohno Heinobu took advantage of the situation to attack Miki Castle, but only surrounded Miki Castle as before, and in his opinion, this Miki Castle was already in the pocket of his Ohno clan, so there was no need to waste troops in vain.

Siege without attack, this Japanese Warring States period is a very common combat method. In the case of a battle or a decisive battle, whenever one of the belligerents besieges the other side's city, most of them will not take it by force, but wait for the other side to surrender the city first.

During the Warring States period, some famous castles such as Inabayama Castle, Sunfu Castle, and Koenenjo Castle were all captured in this way, and they were all surrendered by their own lords, Saiten Ward, Imagawa Clan, and Hojo Clan, under heavy siege. Now Ohno Pingxin is besieging Miki Castle without attacking it, and he is waiting for the Renmu clan to take the initiative to donate the city, and Renmu Shinji is not a mediocre person, in his opinion, he should also know the truth of dedicating the city to save his life.

"Father, now the soldiers of the Renmu clan have been crippled by their own family. Miki Castle is now within reach, and Nobuya asks for orders to personally lead his troops to take Miki Castle for his father. In the military tent of the Ohno clan, Nobuya Ohno once again asked his father Ohno Heinobu for orders to capture Miki Castle.

Unlike the previous indifference to the Ono family's capture of Miki Castle, the current Ono Nobuya is very concerned about the capture of Miki Castle. First, Nobuya Ohno wanted to make up for his mistakes by capturing Miki Castle to redeem Ohno Heinobu's dissatisfaction with him, after all, he was not as trustworthy as before since the Battle of Kano Valley. In addition, Ono Nobuno also had a serious crisis against his younger brother Ono Nobuhei, and his younger brother Nobuhei was also in Kano Valley, but he scored a lot of points in front of his father. Now Nobuhei Ohno has already had the momentum to compete with himself for the position of head of the family, so it seems that it is better for him to join the Jirenmu clan as soon as possible.

"Damn Kashinoya!" Thinking of this, Nobuya Ohno couldn't help but think of resentment in his heart.

However, for the eagerness of his eldest son, Ohno Heinobu did not empathize at all, and he still said neatly to Ohno Nobuya's request: "Nobuya, you are too eager. Miki Castle is already in the family's pocket, and if you are too eager to capture it, it will only be a waste of the family's actual behavior. Wait patiently, I believe that Miki Castle will be ours soon. ”

After saying that, Ohno Heinobu picked up the porridge bowl in front of him and took a few bites.
