I would have liked to have more descriptions of Hatano.
However, considering that there are still many enemies that the protagonist will face in the future, there are many people who are stronger than Hatano, such as Kobayakawa Takakei, Shimazu Yoshihiro, Date Masamune, etc., who are the protagonist's real opponents in the future, so Hatano ......
However, there are many more descriptions of them in the future, after all, in history, they are the restless lords of the group......
"Whoo~Whoo~"
My "uncle" was wise Chang'an, stumbling under his feet along the way, and after walking for a while, he saw sweat on his forehead.
I really don't know that he is advocating force, and even children can dance with swords and swords. How did he get there.
Slowly, his breathing became rapid. Seeing that his lord Wise Mitsuhide and Yiganqi still looked like their faces were not red and out of breath, even I, who had not fully recovered my body, looked calm and relaxed, and my already tired red face was now redder than a ripe crab.
When I saw him like this, I felt a little strange in my heart.
Is this mountain very high?
The name of this mountain is "Mt. Nishiwaki" (not a name I made up, you can go to the map of Hyogo Prefecture in Japan, there is indeed such a place), in terms of height, it is less than 100 meters above sea level, although it is a bit high in Japan, but in China, this degree can only be regarded as a relatively large hill at best.
The road up the hill was not easy, and I roughly calculated that the road was just wide enough for two carriages to pass side by side, and, because no one had walked for many years, the road was covered with weeds.
In the Kamakura period, Mt. Nishiwa used to be the territory of a small tyrant, and the little tyrant whose name could not be verified once built a small city here, but after all, this has been a matter of hundreds of years, not to mention the long-lost tyrant family, even the small town has long been so ruined that it can't even be found in ruins.
Half a month ago, I told my father about my thoughts about Jucheng.
My father, after listening to my opinion, did not make a decision right away, but called a meeting of all the retainers to discuss the issue.
That scene really scared me!
Originally, I thought I was the only one who thought that Yagami Castle was not suitable as a residential city.
As a result, as soon as the meeting began, the ministers immediately threw themselves into the movement of "criticizing the Eight Castles" with full spirit. In the end, Bashang City was criticized as an incomplete individual and useless......
Seeing that everyone agreed with this opinion, my father did not hesitate and immediately passed the resolution of "moving the capital".
I don't know what makes everyone "full of hatred" for Yagami City.
But whether I know it or not, it's always going to be done.
The next step is to choose a location for your new city.
This matter was handed over to Wise Chang'an, after all, he used to be a mountain master, and he was the best at reading feng shui and the like.
Wise Chang'an was not ambiguous, and it took nearly half a month to travel through the three counties in the southwest of Tanbo, and finally decided.
Mt. Saiwaki, fifty miles to the east of Shinoyama, is the most suitable.
Located in the southeastern part of Tanba Taki County, Mt. Nishiwaki is right on the Saikoku Expressway, making it a perfect "button" connecting and Kansai......
"This place ......" my father's expression was a little suspicious, "Although this place can be regarded as having mountains and rivers, but the mountains are not high, the water is not deep, and it is okay to live as a residence in the Taiping years, but now the flames of war between Yin and Yang are burning, I am afraid that it is ...... here."
While speaking, he also looked at Wise Chang'an with eyes full of "worry".
"Lord...... I don't know," he looked at like this, and the wise Chang'an, who was not too bold, suddenly panicked, "The location of Nishiwa Mountain, high in the east and low in the west, the east is full of plain fields, and the west is blocked by Sasayan and Sasakawa, although the road is not difficult, but because of the terrain, once the enemy in the west hits, the family will immediately know and make a decision, and if the main hall of Nobunaga orders the lord to transfer troops to the west, it is very easy to pass through here......"
As I listened, I noticed my father's face.
In fact, I know that my father is willing to come here to investigate, which means that he has been tempted, but he needs to go through the mouth of Wise Chang'an to confirm whether it is suitable or not.
Let's test you first.
Who was the first architect of the Oda family?
Niwa Nagahide!
That's right, I'm sure you'll answer that, after all, people have built Azuchi Castle, so it's there.
Next, ask again.
What about the second architect????
Not many people can answer this estimate.
The mystery is revealed:
Wise Mitsuhide!
Isn't it a little surprised?
There is no doubt that when the Sakamoto Castle was completed, even the missionaries who came to visit it were amazed and said that it was a "luxurious" castle in Europe.
In fact, Sakamoto Castle is not luxurious, but it is definitely a comfortable and elegant residence, with a four-story castle tower (in recent years, there has been a "brick house called a beast" research, Sakamoto Castle actually has a five-story castle tower, sweat ...... It's not as luxurious as Azuchi's seven-story castle tower, but it's magnificent.
This shows the strategic mind of Akechi Mitsuhide. When using the water transportation of Lake Biwa to make full use of the potential strength of the territory, you can transfer troops from Sakamoto to attack any stronghold of Lake Biwa by water.
Even later Hashiba Hideyoshi followed the example of Akechi Mitsuhide and built his own residence on the shores of Lake Biwa, Nagahama Castle.
So you say, for the wise Mitsuhide who has his own experience, will he really not understand the benefits and disadvantages of building a castle in Nishiwaki Mountain? ……
"Okay!" After listening to Wise Chang'an's narration, his father finally stopped "hesitating".
"So be it! I'm very satisfied with this place, and now, let's talk about the general plan of the city! ”
"Yes!"
Finally to the point, the spirit of wise Chang'an is lifted.
I didn't understand this kind of problem, so I turned my head to the other side and looked at the scenery in the distance.
The mountain is not very high, but the traffic location is very prominent, so it is undoubtedly very wise to build a castle here.
In addition to military purposes, economically, it can also become an economic and cultural transit point between Kanto and Kansai because of the advantages of transportation.
When I think of the castle, I suddenly think of Gifu Castle!
To be honest, Gifu Castle is by far the largest castle I've ever seen.
I heard my father tell me that when he was a child, he was in Gifu...... At that time, it was still called Inabayama Castle.
The size of a city best reflects a great name...... Or rather, the strength of the samurai.
Gifu Castle is quite large, and it was built on a high Mount Inaba, so the first time I saw it, I couldn't help but fall in love with it.
I also thought about how nice it would be if one day, I could have such a castle!
When Oda Nobunaga was young, he lived in Nakono Castle, which was not luxurious or spectacular, and this was the beginning of his eventful life.
That's because he wasn't even a daimyo and was just a retainer of the Oda family in Cheongju.
After Oda Nobunaga destroyed Oda Nobuyo and became the suzerain of the Oda family (nominally, but there were still Oda Nobuyan and other disagreeers), he couldn't wait to move the "capital" to Kiyoshu Castle.
At that time, although he owned the best castle in the entire Owari, he was still just a "little local tyrant" in the four lower districts of Owari.
Wait until the moment he enters Inabayama Castle.
That storm in history, Oda Nobunaga can be regarded as the real arrival!
And the above three cities are the best physical evidence to witness his rise!
Now he doesn't even want Gifu anymore, and lives alone in Nijo Castle, the shogun's house (Azuchi Castle was completed and moved out and dedicated to the crown prince).
Although he neither opened a mansion nor became a high-ranking minister, he already represented him when he lived in Nijo Castle.
The sky and the earth you want to have, the mountains and the sea, and the whole world! ……
The father closed the folding fan in his hand and said slowly:
"Chang'an! I'll leave the matter of building the castle in Nishiki Mountain to you! I will do my best to support you in terms of manpower and material resources! ”
"Yes! Lord! Chang'an must never give up! ”
I watched from the side, but my heart was calculating.
Although Wise Chang'an is quite serious on the surface, I guess that if there is no group of us here, he will definitely go crazy!
"That's right, Father!" I said suddenly.
"What's wrong?"
"You seem to have forgotten...... Give a name to the city that is about to begin. ”
"That's right!" He slapped his head, "I never thought of such an important thing...... Tell me, what's your name? ”
"Although you are not the guardian of Tanba, you are now beyond reproach for the control of Tanba's affairs, and you are the 'Lord of Tanba' in the true sense, so the minister thinks that it is necessary to take the word 'Dan' of 'Tanba' and name this new city 'Danfu', how about it?"
"'Dan Mansion'?" My father savored it, "Well, it's a very elegant name...... Kogoro, what do you think? ”
"That's a good name...... I looked at the flowers and plants around me, and suddenly came up with a somewhat spoofed idea.
"Although 'Danfu' is good, Erchen thinks it is a little awkward...... Why don't you call it 'Milan'? ”
"Huh?"
They obviously didn't expect me to be so "creative"!
At this time, Milan was not cultivated in Japan, but literate Japanese people still saw this kind of flower in Hanshu (mainly poetry collections and medical books).
"Well, that's good!"
I didn't expect anyone to approve of my "whimsy"!
And it turned out to be a wise Chang'an!
"There is a cloud in "Confucius's Family Sayings": 'Zhilan was born in a deep valley and did not think that no one was unpleasant, and the virtue of a gentleman's cultivation did not change for the sake of poverty'. One sentence expresses the noble sentiments of Milan and the Qingming solar terms. ”
Although Wise Chang'an is not from a high background, he has read a lot of books.
But then again, I just came up with this name for fun, but I never thought of what "sentiment" and "integrity" were.
So Wise Chang'an obviously made a mistake.
I resisted the urge to laugh, because at this time I couldn't laugh out anyway, otherwise it would all be "exposed".
"That's right...... Then call it 'Milan'! ”
In the end, even my father agreed.
I'm speechless and petrified......
(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, I'm a little tired, go to sleep first, maybe two more tomorrow)
