Chapter 39: The Bat That Has Not Yet Spread Its Wings
"The country warrior Changzong is the head of my department, and I am fortunate to have the honor to meet the world-famous Pingshou Supervisor, and I am really fortunate to have three lives. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
As soon as the groom parked the car in the shade of the tree, Hi-sho Lean Xiu leaned out of the ride, and before his feet touched the ground, he heard a crisp and loud voice coming from directly ahead.
Following the prestige, I saw more than a dozen samurai, trotting forward, all bowing their heads, respectful and calm.
The samurai at the head looked to be about the same age, tall and thin, with a slender body, fair skin, and delicate eyebrows, and he really looked like a boy and a girl, and if he didn't have a wisp of beard, he would be at risk of being mistaken for his gender.
Tosa's "Himewakako" really lives up to its name. This person is not the ancestor of the Changzong and my department, who can he be?
"Is it the Lord of the Palace of Chozong? Fan Xiu is late, and please atone for your sins. ”
(Note: Changzong inherited his father's official name in his early years and called himself "Imperial Shaofu", which was not recognized by the imperial court.) Therefore, the "palace" in this chapter refers to him all. )
Seeing this situation, before he could stand firmly on the ground, he also responded loudly as a return salute.
When we met for the first time, the other party was so respectful, of course, I had to look a little more generous, and I could be regarded as coming from the "developed region" of.
Hijo thought so, and didn't feel anything wrong yet.
Unexpectedly, the elder of the Changzong and my department walked all the way to him, and only then did he stop, solemnly knelt down on one knee, bent down deeply, and made a big salute, and at the same time said: "Lord Pingshou Supervisor, I am really grateful for the kindness of my Changzong and my family!" Yuan Qin is not a person who can speak well, only admiration in his heart, and he will repay him with a straw title! ”
After saying a long sentence, his head was still hanging a few centimeters from the ground, and he didn't mean to get up.
"Oh - this - really- don't dare, don't dare!" Hirata was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the head of the Nagazong and my department, then turned his face sideways, frowned and shouted at Numata Yumitsu, who was standing beside him: "How did you arrange it, how could you let the Lord of the Nagazong and Ibu, who is the guardian of the dignified Tosa country, come to greet him personally?" What a faux pas! ”
This is not entirely a fraud. It was really unclear that there would be such a bridge in advance.
Only the honor that should be enjoyed normally can be enjoyed without any psychological burden. And such anomalies must be treated with caution. The previous exchanges between the two sides were mutually beneficial, and it was not worthy of such a grateful appearance from the head of the Changzong Sect.
Removing this relationship, Hisho Tsuhide has no official position, just a Izumi guardian generation, is it worth being protected by Tosa? It doesn't make sense. What is the last sentence of "nothing to do"? It's either a traitor or a thief.
Yumitsu Numata, who was reprimanded, said nothing with a bitter face, very aggrieved. Although he went there as an envoy first to confirm various safety and etiquette measures, and had already arranged the process of the meeting, he couldn't control the temporary intention of the head of the Changzong and my department? This country tycoon is too, at first he only said "the road is too boring, let's just walk around", who knew that such a solemn etiquette would be prepared?
However, the leaders have openly criticized, can you still say that the leaders have criticized it wrongly?
can only kneel down and admit his mistake and carry this pot.
Then Pingshou Fanxiu pretended to reprimand a few words, and then he came back to his senses, held the arm of the head of the Changzong and my department, made an apologetic look on his face, and bowed his head and said: "It really makes the palace inner hall smile!" It's all to blame for my negligence in disciplining my retainers on weekdays, so that they don't know any etiquette! ”
The head of the sect smiled innocently, shook his head and said, "How can you blame your family's Numata-sama?" It was the contemptible man who insisted on personally thanking the prison hall! I'm afraid this worship can't express one-ten-thousandth of the gratitude in my heart! ”
"How dare you ......" The more respectful the other party was, the more cautious he became, and hurriedly excused himself, "If you are referring to the 'Tosa Guardian', it is mainly the credit of Lord Gongfang's discernment, and secondly, the Imperial Household Hall, you are indeed the pillar of the country, I just did a little work, I am ashamed, I am ashamed!" ”
There is a lot of truth in that.
Before the intervention of Hisho Honhide, the head of Chozong and my department had already conquered six or seven percent of Tosa's land, and had the strength to be the guardian of a country. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was a junior high position, and he was also relatively generous in the division of posts, and it was not difficult for people like "Himeruko" to get a name as long as they expressed their "resolute support" for the central government.
And Fanxiu plays only an intermediary role. Although the role of intermediaries is also very important, they still can't afford this obviously excessive etiquette.
When Changzong heard this, he first smiled and shook his head silently, and then brewed his feelings for a while, before he said slowly: "As you said, it is true that many retainers feel that my family occupies two-thirds of the Tosa country, and the guardian service should have been captured!" Yet, all these years, the contemptible people can't even find the door of Kyoto! If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know that the Year of the Monkey would be able to obtain this title! ”
Speaking of this, "Ji Ruozi"'s expression began to become heavy, and he sighed before continuing: "When my father took over as the governor of the family, it was the day of the decline of the family's martial arts. At the end of his life, his father said, 'Twenty years of miserably, if you want to take a guardian position but can't, how can you turn a blind eye to death!' And go, every time I think of this, Yuan himself is a son of man, and his heart is uneasy. Today, I am fortunate to have the help of the prison hall, but my father's last wish, I really admire the five inside! ”
The voice landed, and Pingshou Fan Xiu couldn't think of how to answer for a while.
Just now, the other party said that "Yuan Qin is not a person who can speak well", it seems to be the case. This guy is quite gentle in appearance, but he is very vulgar in his speech.
According to the way ordinary high-ranking samurai speak, no matter what they say, they should first talk about things such as "the righteousness of the world", "the will of the sages", "the law of the samurai", and so on, to show their reasonable legitimacy. But the head relatives of the Changzong and my department in front of him didn't pull those empty words at all, and bluntly admitted that "our father and son are ambitious, and they just want to be Tosa's guardians!" ”
If it weren't for the fact that Pingshou Fan Xiu had another set of memories, he might really regard the guy in front of him as a "brave man" who was "ignorant" and "reckless and straightforward".
But...... The original ancestor of the Changzong and my department in history is a very rare ruthless hero, but he is not only able to fight! He killed his benefactor and brother-in-law one after another, and fought between major forces such as Oda and Mori before finally being able to unify Shikoku.
He is jokingly called the "Bat of Birdless Island" by some, meaning that hegemony in the backwoods of a lack of strong enemies is not a skill. But the Shikoku region has a population of more than 500,000, but only this one bat has flown out, isn't it worth paying attention to?
Now it's different from the original history. Hirate Hasuhide entered Shikoku, and he knew the talents of the head of the Chozong clan long before everyone else, and at the same time, he also understood this guy's ambition more clearly.
Therefore, no matter how superb the performance is, he will never treat this person as an honest and reliable countryman.
After a moment of discomfort, Tieshou Fan Xiu has already reacted, and the other party's series of actions are obviously not aimed at what has happened, but for the future.
In other words, although the relatives of Changzong and my department are very ambitious, they do not have the confidence to develop independently for the time being, but are eager to receive a little east wind from external forces. It's normal to think about this, originally in history, this person was lucky, and he happened to meet the surrounding big forces who were unable to interfere in the four countries before he rose.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki are not very interested in Shikoku, so the decision of Tie Honhide is even more important.
Chosamune's head tried his best to make him appear very capable of fighting (as has been demonstrated by past facts) and reckless and unapolitical, in order to play a very good use of thugs. He doesn't mind being seen as an eagle's minions, and even likes to see it, as long as he can eat more fresh meat.
Even if you don't get any strong military and political assistance, even if you give some money! I heard that the Hirate family bought eight Nanban sailing ships in one go, and spent tens of thousands of dollars, which is an unimaginable astronomical amount in the poor countryside of Tosa!
Pingshou Fanxiu stared straight at the person in front of him, slightly distracted for a moment.
The other party's intentions were probably thought out clearly, and then ...... What can I do with this person?
Such questions have to be hesitant to decide.
A traverser who knows the original historical trend can promote "famous ministers" such as Honda Masanobu and Kawada Nagajin with more peace of mind and appoint them; But if you want to try to control Iwanari Friendship, you must concentrate on dealing with it; The amount of the Yuan relatives of Changzong is far above that of Iwacheng Youtong.
Dealing with tigers and wolves is, of course, at the risk of being bitten or even devoured. But the sense of accomplishment after successfully driving the tiger and wolf is also intoxicating.
The question is, how do you restrain the ferocious beast? In the traditional hostage way? This can only trap people with a conscience, and the hero will not take too much care of his wife and children when faced with a great opportunity. It is still necessary to rely on the binding and control of interests......
At this moment, the head of Chozong and my department asked respectfully, "I don't know what other instructions Oda Danmasa and Lord Gongkata have for the affairs on Shikoku Island?" I heard that Oda Danmasa has always been generous, and the contemptible people have long wanted to serve under his old man. ”
It is this kind of undisguised utilitarian intentions, revealing the short-sightedness and greed of the "country name" in people's impressions.
Hisho Tsusuku came back to his senses, smiled, and didn't answer first, but he looked left and right, and changed the topic: "Didn't you come to Shinohara Youkyo of the Miyoshi family today to discuss peace talks?" I have been standing for a long time, and my legs are a little sore, and I just want to sit down and drink a cup of cold tea! ”
"Huh? Oh...... Oh, yes, the tea has already been prepared, and I want to invite the prisoner to taste the tea......" Changzong and my Yuan Qin's face showed just the right amount of embarrassment and a fleeting look of disappointment, and I don't know how much of it is true and how much is false. He hurriedly leaned sideways and made a gesture of "please go first", and at the same time flattered: "In a rural place like ours, we really can't come up with anything worthy of your identity, only a little tea purchased from Suruga last year, and I ask the prisoner to forgive me......
"Too polite, too polite......" Knowing that the other party had a request for himself, the waist pole of the tie fan Xiu couldn't help but stiffen a little, and he also intentionally or unintentionally took out a little bit of the aura of the superior.
Suddenly, from one of the relatives of the head of the sect, there was a cry of a baby.
When I looked closely, I found that among the more than a dozen relatives, there was actually a nurse holding swaddling clothes, the woman was tall and strong, with rough skin and hair, except that she didn't have a beard, she was more like a man than "Ji Ruozi", and she really couldn't tell it at a glance.
Pingshou Fan Xiuqi said: "The palace inner hall...... Why is that? ”
"Oh, I almost forgot about this...... "Changzong and my relatives seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly explained: "That's the case, I heard someone say a few days ago, Lord Supervisor, you intend to take a moth in the wealthy clan of the four countries, it just so happens that the second son of the contemptible person is only nine months old, and he has always been very healthy, so he sent it over, please take a look......"
That's right, there is.
That's because Pingshou Fanxiu felt sorry for Ning Ning for a long time and wanted to find her a child to bring, which is not a secret, and the upper echelons of the Pingshou family are basically well known, and it is not a big deal.
After all, the project of "spreading branches and leaves" has been going smoothly, and there are already two sons and a daughter before they arrive, and one is handed over to the side room to raise, which is really unnoticeable.
But as an outsider who has just met, Changzong and my ancestor can be so proactive, and they are also very heartfelt.
And this is equivalent to taking the initiative to send hostages to show obedience!
At this moment, even if Hite-ho is still afraid of him in his heart, he has to praise and support him on the surface, otherwise it will be detrimental to Hinode's reputation on Shikoku Island.
However, Fanxiu has already prepared for this, but while supporting it, it must also be controlled by some soft means.
It seems that the business of "Sankaya" can not only enter Harima while Aiding Asai but also enter Tosa by the way......
