Chapter 7: The Troubles of Uesugi Constitutionalism

It's been seven days since he left Akita Castle, and before leaving, Akita Ieji planned to ask Akita Ietada to follow Tsukahara Buden on a tour, but Tsukahara Molong refused on the grounds of secrecy. He didn't want the Akita family to be too powerful around him, which would cause great difficulties for his future royal majesty. And the dignified young master of the Akita family suddenly followed Tsukahara Buchuan to travel, in case he was heard by someone with a heart, I am afraid it would not be good. And Zhou Dashuai was taken by Tsukahara Molong, and after Tsukahara Buchuan inquired and found out that he was from the Ming Kingdom, he didn't say much and acquiesced to the matter.

Ueizumi Hidetsuna was originally a wealthy family in Ueno Province, so Tsukahara Buden led everyone all the way here. After everyone sweated over the mountain, a majestic mountain city towered between heaven and earth, which aroused everyone's admiration.

Tsukahara Molong and Zhou Dashuai needless to mention, both of them have seen the magnificence of the Ming Kingdom's cities, but a mountain city of this scale is very rare, after all, even if the Ming Kingdom's cities are built between lofty mountains and mountains for defense, rather than halfway up the mountain or on the mountain.

"Here?" Zhou Dashuai felt that his head was a little insufficient.

"It's Minowa Castle, and I've never seen the dirt buns of the world." Shangquan Xiuyin sarcastically said that since he was put down by Zhou Dashuai in front of a woman, he has been sullen, so he likes to drink Zhou Dashuai when he has nothing to do.

"Is Ueno Kunizhi going to rush......" Tsukahara Molong muttered to himself, Kamishu Yellow Spot, repelled the attacks of the Takeda Army six times, and the immortal general comparable to Takeda Shingen-Nagano Yoshimasa, the memory of Ueno Kuni came to mind. The samurai regiment of Ueno Province is also the elite of the Kanto region, and not only Nagano Yoshimasa shines brightly in history, but even Kohata Akabi, who defected to the Takeda Army from Ueno Province, is also a first-class strong army, and is active in various battlefields as an important force of the Takeda Army in later generations.

Tsukahara Buchuan looked at the Xiongcheng in front of him, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled and said to Kamiizumi Hidetsuna: "Hidegang, then I will trouble you to introduce you." ”

"What did the teacher say?" Hidetsuna Kamiizumi replied with a smile and stepped forward.

Ashigaru, who was defending the city, saw someone coming on horseback, but he didn't slow down at all, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "What are you doing!" Minowa Castle also dared to be presumptuous!! It's just that although the expression is very hideous and the voice is very loud, the legs are constantly trembling, and they immediately retreat when they see that the situation is not good.

"Kamiizumi Ise Mamoru Hidetsuna has urgent information to report to Lord Commander!" Kamiizumi Xiuzuna looked cunning and shouted.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that it was Hidetsuna Umizumi, these ashigaru immediately put on a flattering expression, and as soon as they heard that there was urgent information, they hurriedly ran to inform the samurai on duty today.

"Hahaha! Who should I be, it's Ise-sama! Yasuhiro Yokose came out of the city with a smile, obviously he was all too familiar with these tricks of Hidetsuna Ueizumi.

Hidetsuna Kamiizumi also jumped off the horse, patted Yokose Yasushige on the shoulder with a smile, and whispered in his ear, "Tsukahara-sama Buden is here." ”

"What?" Yokose Yasushi's complexion changed greatly, and Lord Tsukahara Buden, the first sword hero in the Kanto region, actually came to Minowa Castle! That's a great event! Hurriedly let Ashigaru get out of the way, and put Izumi Hidetsuna in to report.

Uesugi Kenmasa, who is "playing games" with a few maids in the inner room, has been in a very bad mood recently, he is in the prime of life, and the Ogiya Uesugi family teamed up to send 40,000 troops into Musashi Province, but unexpectedly was first blocked by a little-known kid named Hojo Tsunade for nearly half a year, and then was attacked by Hojo Shiyasu at night, and suffered heavy losses. Even if you have a deep background in the Uesugi family in the mountain, you can't stand such a toss! Fortunately, he used Nagano and others in time, and barely maintained the situation, making it impossible for the Hojo family to continue the attack. But the annexation of the Uesugi family in Ogiya hit him too hard, and he lost his most important ally in an instant. The situation in the Kanto region is gradually not up to its own hands.

Looking up at the sky outside the window gloomily, Uesugi Kenmasa sighed, he didn't want the Uesugi family's family business to be ruined in his own hands, but this ambition to revive the family was always just a thought. Although I asked Nagano to teach himself military law, I couldn't help but yawn when I saw this, and there was no way to do it. Thinking about it, Uesugi Kenmasa put his hand into the maid's kimono and kneaded it vigorously, as if this would reduce the depression in his heart.

"Lord Guan, Hidetsuna Kamiizumi asks to see you." There was an untimely reminder outside the door, so that Uesugi Kenmasa, who was just about to "pick up the gun and get on the horse", had to push the maid away, and after arranging his clothes awkwardly, he coughed lightly and said majestically: "Well, it's accurate." ”

After getting permission from Uesugi Kenmasa, Umiizumi Hidetsuna handed the sword to the guards outside the door, walked in solemnly, and knelt down in front of Uesugi Kenmasa: "Participate in the stewardship!" ”

"Hmm." Uesugi Kenmasa said in a deliberately nasal voice, and then almost habitually picked up the gorgeous folding fan from the small table, opened it and asked, "How is the swordsmanship now?" ”

"Hah! His subordinates studied kendo with all their might from Tsukahara-sama, and now they have comprehended the essence of the Ichinotai sword. ”

"Oh?" Although as the governor of the Kanto region, he often needs to deal with the ministers of the imperial court, and it is inevitable that he will be infected with some of the ministers' style, but Uesugi Kenmasa has not forgotten his identity as a samurai, and he is naturally very concerned about the mystery of the first sword lord in the Kanto region, Tsukahara Buden. "Well done!" Uesugi Kenmasa praised with a smile.

"And Tsukahara-sama also came to Minowa Castle, and now he is in the castle town, waiting for the summons of the adults."

"What?" Uesugi Kenmasa got up suddenly, and then realized that he was out of shape, and quickly sat down with his face hidden, and put on a serious appearance again: "Well, since Lord Tsukahara has come thousands of miles to ask to see him, I should give him this opportunity." I've allowed him to enter Minowa Castle, and let him come here to see me at once. ”

"Hah!" Ueizumi Hidetsuna, who was accustomed to the Uesugi constitutionalism, retreated without changing his face and heartbeat, and when there was no one, he couldn't help but snicker, and then put on a serious expression and hurried out of the city.

However, just as Hidetsuna Kamiizumi walked out of the castle tower, Tsukahara Buden and Tsukahara Molong suddenly appeared in his sight. Dressed in simple armor, resolute as iron, not tall but very stocky, as if containing endless strength, Hidetsuna Ueizumi almost recognized at a glance the middle-aged man who was talking and laughing with Tsukahara Bu Chuan: the first general of Ueno Province - Nagano Yoshimasa! It turned out that Nagano Ye was returning from Hirai Castle, and when he passed by the castle town, he met Tsukahara Buden and his party who were waiting, and as a strong general with excellent martial arts, Nagano Yemasa judged the extraordinary strength of Tsukahara Buden almost instantly. After coming forward to inquire, I learned that it was actually the first sword hero in the Kanto region, Tsukahara Buchuan, which made Nagano Yemasa very happy. The previous arrangement for Hidetsuna to go to Kashima to learn kendo was on the one hand his own will, and on the other hand, it was the result of discussions between Nagano and Kenmasa Uesugi in the hope that after Hidetsuna returned from his studies, he would teach the samurai of the Uesugi family in kendo, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Uesugi family. But I never thought that Tsukahara Buden would actually come to Minowa Castle in person! Nagano Yemasa immediately ordered someone to arrange the food and lodging of Tsukahara Buden's disciples, and recommended Tsukahara Buden to meet Uesugi Kenmasa. And when Tsukahara Bu Chuan expressed his desire to take Tsukahara Molong to meet him, Nagano Ye agreed without thinking about it, after all, with Tsukahara Bu Chuan's identity, it is normal to bring an entourage, aside from Tsukahara Molong's surname, which is likely to indicate his relationship with Tsukahara Bu Chuan, Tsukahara Molong is such a young and handsome, tall and burly junior with strong martial arts is also very fond of Nagano Yemasa.
