Chapter 1: Fighting for Water
In the summer of the 25th year of Astronomical, two groups of people and horses on both sides of the Santu River in Ise Prefecture, Ise Prefecture, confronted each other across the river. They are none other than the Matsugami and Kamiki clans, the powerful clans near the Santu River. There were many wars in Ise, and most of the people were poor. Fortunately, thanks to the protection of the Santu River, the two families of Shenmu Matsu are quite wealthy. In the past, the strength of the two families was equal, and they were quite harmonious with each other. But last year, the Shenmu family recruited a Hokuriku samurai, Daizo Mutada. The head of the Shenmu family, Shenmu Changping, had the ambition of unifying the Santu River. In the name of fighting for water, he did the fact of weakening the Matsugami family, and attempted to annex the Matsugami family in one fell swoop.
This is the second confrontation between the two families. The Kamiki family is located on the south bank, and the Matsugami family is located on the north bank. The two families compete for water with samurai. At this time, a strong man in the Shenmu family's main formation on the south bank was wearing a red Wu costume and scolded the north. "The earth dogs of the Matsugami family, my Shenmu family is prosperous. If you surrender, you can also keep your family's name. Otherwise, the upper echelons of Isematsu will be cut off. Hearing this, there was a commotion in the Matsugami family's main formation. The notoriety of the evil tiger Mu Zhong is not afraid of the people on both sides of the Santu River.
"Changping Xiaoer, you don't care about the friendship between the two families. He will be rejected by the great god Hachiman. Seeing that morale was unstable, Matsugami Yoshiyuki, the head of the Matsugami family, also had to scold Shenmu Nagahei.
"Okay, let's let Isetsu be cut off in your generation. Mu Zhong, this time he wants to discourage the morale of the Matsugami family in one fell swoop. The Wufu man was also a Shenmu Changping, and said angrily to a more sturdy warrior beside him.
"Yes, my lord. The children of the Matsukami family, who dares to fight with me. With that, Dazao Muzhong took his portable saber and walked towards the north shore. The Matsugami family's main camp was another riot. After all, the few samurai of his own family who fought against him last year were still dead.
Seeing that the morale of the family had plummeted, Matsugami Yoshiyuki eagerly said to several samurai of the family, "Whoever can defeat the Daizoki Tadashi 200 stones, the samurai will be promoted to one level, and the non-samurai will be promoted to samurai." "There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and immediately, the Matsugami family's Pudai samurai Togo Yoshiyoshi and others appeared to compete with Daizoki Tada. But there was no miracle, in fact, the brave warriors of the Matsugami family were killed and injured as early as last year, and these few were even more unbearable, and they were killed and injured in a few strokes.
''Haha, this year, the water of the Santu River is unique to this family. Soon the family will be on both sides of the Santu River together. Seeing this, Shenmu Changping said proudly to his retainers. A few retainers of the Shenmu family naturally had a burst of flattery such as the lord's wisdom. However, soon the people of the Shenmu family were dumbfounded and couldn't laugh anymore. It turned out that just when they were proud, a person flew out of nowhere and knocked Dazao Muzhong unconscious.
"Where is this? Am I not playing samurai cosplay with Lao Zhao and them? Why did you doze off and wake up completely changed? Wang Dashi got up from the ground and muttered to himself blankly. This Wang Dashi is originally an otaku college student in the new century, and his only hobby is the glorious Shinno game. This is not just today with a few like-minded friends at the Comic-Con exhibition. Somehow, I traveled back to the Warring States period in Japan.
At this time, there was silence on the Santu River. I saw Matsugami Yoshiyuki suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Changping Xiaoer, this is a samurai recruited by my Matsukami family, and today you have seen the prestige of my family." Matsugami Yoshiyuki just finished speaking. The formation was filled with cheers. Another Pudai samurai of the Matsugami family, Changlianxin, led several samurai to surround Wang Dashi and throw it up and down to congratulate him. Shenmu Nagahei was angry and left with his retainers and ashigaru.
Matsugami Home Castle Matsujo Castle Tower.
At this time, Matsugami Yoshiyuki sat on the main seat, and several retainers sat on both sides. And Wang Dashi knelt in the middle in a daze. Matsugami Yoshiyuki said majestically, "Oishi Maru[On the way back, Wang Oishi had already told him his name, but somehow when he got to Matsugami Yoshiyuki's mouth, he became Oishi Matsumaru,] Thanks to my Matsugami family, the main hall said that the defeat of Osashi was given the status of a samurai. 200 stones. Today, I will give you 200 stone Zhixing in Liangmu Village. In addition, give Matsugami the name of the family, and from today you will be Matsugami Yoshimitsu. Matsugami relented and said, "The rest of you have their own rewards. Stay the long chain letter, and let the others go down. So the other retainers walked out of the castle tower in twos and threes, including Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who was still in ignorance.
After the other retainers are gone. Looking at the long chain letter that wanted to be spoken and stopped, Matsugami Yoshiyuki said with a smile: "Inusan, you can see it too." That Oshimaru wasn't my retainer. ‘’
"My lord, since this is the case, why did you give him such a high reward [Yulu and Zhixing are different, Zhixing can be hereditary. 】。 The total height of this family is no more than 5,000 stones, and I am afraid that the retainers will not accept it. ”
"I don't know how this temple is. But how can you not believe your words? Our family is in turmoil, and we must not lose our hearts. Ryoki Village borders the Kamiki family, and if he can't keep the main hall, he can take it back, and if he can hold it. Why not? The main hall looks at him as not like ordinary people [of course, the abundance of food and clothing is different. ], it will be of great use. You can tell him not to talk nonsense. ”
'Yes. The long chain trusted the Lord's command, and withdrew.
At this time, Wang Dashi, also known as Matsugami Yoshimitsu, was looking at Matsugami Castle speechless. What the hell is this, build a house on a small dirt slope, a wooden fence, and a few lookouts, and this is called a city. Can you make it simpler? What kind of life am I? Bad luck crossed not to say. Why don't you let me mess with Nobunaga? What the hell is the Matsugami family, it's almost a cow like Matsudaira? Soy sauce doesn't count. But fortunately, there are at least dozens of acres of land, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Just as Yoshimitsu Matsugami comforted himself. The long chain letter that came by order also found him.
'Yoshikoden, I've finally found you. My lord asked me to take you to Liangmu Village.
Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that it was a long chain letter and said with a smile: "The long chain hall is here, I'm afraid it has another purpose, right?" ‘’
'The wise man of the Hall of Righteous Light, I will not spare the circle. You're a retainer that your lord has recruited a long time ago, right? Long Chain Letter asked with a smile.
"Haha, of course that's right." Matsugami Yoshimitsu had already figured out what was going on, and he responded with a smile. "That's good. I'll take you to your territory, Liangmu Village, where there are more than 200 villagers, all of whom are your people. Although the table height is only 200 stones, the actual height is more than 500 stones. It's a pity that it borders the Shenmu family, but there's still a lot to be done. With that, the two went to Liangmu Village together.
At the same time, in Shenmu Village, the home city of the Shenmu family. A conspiracy is brewing.
"Lord, the villain deserves death. ruined the lord's plan. As soon as he returned to Shenmu City, Dazao Muzhong immediately asked Shenmu Changping for guilt.
'Mu Zhong, you don't have to care, this hall originally wanted to take down the Matsugami family at the lowest cost. But when you think about it, there are hidden dangers. It's better to break it with force. The main hall unites the Shinjin family, and after the autumn grain, they will join forces to cut off the name of the Matsugami family. When the time comes, Matsugami Castle will be handed over to you. Shenmu Nagahei said.
"Thank you, Lord." 。。。。。
