Chapter 186: Humility and Faith

On August 25 of the first year of Eiroku, at the same time as the Takeda Army entered the missile, Katsunaga Sebe, Tadahide Okawa, and Keitsuna Takemata led their retainer Lang Party to leave the land of Echigo Yangbei, where they had lived for generations, and Asadachi began to prepare for the transfer of Kurokawa Kiyomi and Tsukiji Shitoyo.

Because the Takemata family governor Takemata Mikawa Shoukeisuna owned relatively fertile land such as Takemata Castle, Iwatani Castle, and Kusukawakan, the height of the collar stone reached 27,000 koku. In view of the Takemata family's repeated exploits in Nanideha, it was arranged by the court to transfer it to the four places around Yamagata Castle in the vicinity of Nakanokan (10,000 koku), Yamake Castle (10,000 koku), Yamano Border Castle (10,000 koku), and Nagasaki Castle (5,000 koku). Takemata Keixuna now has 8,000 stone more territory than the old domain, and he has an even more important task - to monitor the Mogami family.

Although Mogami Yoshiko surrendered to the Mogami family, the relationship between the Mogami family and the Date family can be said to be cold. He didn't really surrender to the Uesugi family, and many local samurai in Murayama and Mogami were ready to move, just waiting for Mogami Yoshimitsu's order to prepare for a large-scale attack.

Tsukiji Shitoyo is different from Katsucho Shibe and others. He is a member of the Nakajo Fujishi, and he is also a branch of the Nakajo family. In view of this, the court still needs to take care of it a little. Tsukiji Shitoyo repeatedly repelled the attacks of Sasaki Socho and other rebels in Yangbei, and the credit was not small, and it happened that his territory was only 8,000 koku. Chaoding transferred him to Murayama-gun, and received three places: Kamiyama Castle (10,000 stones), Jingukan (1,000 stones), and Kotaki Castle (1,000 stones). That's 4,000 stone more than his old collar. In this way, he also echoed with Takemata Keizuna, and he was completely able to block the passage to the outside of Yamagata Castle in an instant.

Let's talk about the three counties of Shonai in Minamiidewa.

After the defeat of the original owner of the three counties of Shonai, the Daihoji clan, the Saragoe clan, as a branch of the Daihoji clan, has been deliberately trying to become the head of the Daihoji clan. In this way, the Saragoe clan was able to become the daimyo of the Shonai area after the Daihoji family.

However, this little Jiujiu of the Satsue Sect was still known by the court. This intention of the Satsushi sect did not win the support of the original Dabao Temple family. Even the former head of the Daihoji family, Tosa Lin Zendong, took the lead in standing up against it, so that many of the countrymen lords in the three counties of Shonai did not dare to support the Sarakoshi sect. In addition, the lords of various parts of the village, such as the Takei family and the Yonezawa family, even threatened that once the Saragoe sect inherited the position of the Miao character and the head of the Daihoji family, then they would directly launch a rebellion and raise the banner. This is not a big deal for Chaoding. He most hoped that the Satsushi clan would make some big moves. Otherwise, he would not have been able to easily have an excuse to send troops to quell the rebellion and defeat the Satsushi clan. As for the minor lords such as Takei and Yonezawa, they were neither a member or branch of the Dahoji family, nor were they big body lords, so Chaoding did not plan to attack them first.

If the Shagoe clan, a branch of the Daihoji clan, is destroyed, then the Uesugi family's rule over the three counties of Shonai will be more stable. After that, the Asadai was able to begin preparations to reduce the second largest force in the three prefectures of Shonai, the Tosa Lin family.

However, Kenshin entrusted Kasuga Yamajo Castle to Minoru Honjo and Naoe Keitsuna before Kamiraku, and he went to Kyoto with Togura and Hachiro, Sone Heibei and several other people from Hachimoto and Oteyama. Among the group, only Qianxin did not carry a fishing box full of money.

And Kenshin went to Luo this time to equip him to meet with the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, hoping that he would allow himself to crusade against Takeda Shingen. After all, the Takeda family was also a minister of the shogunate, and Kenshin didn't want to go on the offensive without saying hello to the shogunate. So I want Ashikaga Yoshiki to issue the imperial teaching, and by the way, I can also help the countrymen and lords of Okushinano seek justice.

Mainly in the past few years, the Takeda Army has repeatedly fought in the four counties of Okushinano. The territories of the Okushino clan, such as Murakami, Suda, Shimazu, and Takanashi, were often plundered by the Takeda army, and their hometowns were almost destroyed. Large numbers of the people were slaughtered or trafficked. This made Qianxin to the point where she couldn't bear it anymore, and she had to do something about it. Otherwise, the next step of the Takeda Army would definitely be to launch an invasion of Echigo.

Kenshin arrived in Kyoto on August 27, but the place where she stayed and rested was at the home of the Minister Sanjo (Sanjo Nishishishi) Dainayan. Because of the fact that Hyunshin Sannak has another purpose, that is, he hopes to sell a large number of green buds in the Gyeonggi area. This requires the right to obtain permission to set up a seat. However, Sanjo Nishishizhi happened to have the right to set up a seat.

At this time, the economy of the kingdom was controlled by the guilds, whose function was to act as an instrument of the feudal power to collect wealth from the craftsmen on the one hand, and to manage the industry and commerce of the cities on the other. However, due to the different nature and role of the city itself, and the fact that it was under more official control, the city lacked the ability to regulate itself, and its organization and binding force were not as mature as those of the spontaneous guilds in Europe. Moreover, in the management of urban industry and commerce, Zaza showed strong monopoly and egalitarian tendencies. Control over the economic productive activities of its members in all sectors of production and exchange, to the exclusion of competition.

Most of these "seats" are in the hands of nobles, shrines, and temples. For example, the Riknomiya Hachiman in Oyamazaki in Kyoto has a license for Sesame Oil, and Sanjo Nishiya has a license for Aomaza. Although the three Nishishizhi are noble, their residence is quite small, and they can't accommodate all the people in Qianxin's party. As a result, Kenshin could only stay with Tokura Yohachiro and Sone Heibei, and the rest of the group could only spend the night in the houses around the Sanjo mansion.

"Uesugi Danmasa, a powerful daimyo like you always makes the general very happy every time he goes to Luo. But it just makes him happy. Sanjo Nishie burst out laughing.

Sanjo Nishishi's words made Kenshin feel displeased. She felt that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was awarded the post of Shogun by the imperial court and the emperor, and wouldn't treating Ashikaga Yoshiteru as a joke was equivalent to treating the emperor and the imperial court as a joke together? It's just that others don't understand, but he's not going to know?

"Retire first, the journey is tiring, let's talk about it later." After Kenshin finished speaking, he got up and returned to the cleaner room that Sanjo Nishie had prepared for himself. The anger inside her just didn't want to show it. If Sanjo Nishizhi hadn't been the identity of the Great Nayan, she would have picked him up and slammed him to the ground to keep him sober.

"Imperial Palace, the water is ready, you can freshen up first." Togura and Hachiro brought a basin of well water at this time.

"You go out first, I'm going to be alone for a while." Kenshin barely managed to maintain a calm appearance in front of his retainers.

"Yes, Your Majesty will retire." The two of them then left, and in the small courtyard they counted again the gifts they were about to give to the imperial court and the shogunate.

"A man will insult himself, and then others will insult him!" Qianxin looked at a basin of clear water and muttered to himself several times. How many people can understand the anger in her heart?

This sentence is a sentence from the "Mencius Chapters and Verses" that she was sent to Linquan Temple by her father Nagao Weijing when she was young, and Master Tianmuro Guangyu taught him to read. At that time, she was just reciting and memorizing, and she didn't understand the meaning, but now that she is sensible, she can deeply understand the meaning of this sentence. She didn't understand why today's nobles had stupid people like Sanjo Nishishi!

"The world has arrived, and I can't change it on my own?" Kenshin mused himself after freshening up.

People often think that the era and society in which they live are distorted, uneven, filthy and perverse. I thought that there should be a balanced and proper world in the past. However, it is true that everything is the result of individuality, so it is often distorted, often confused, and often shaken. The perfect way of the world has never existed in the past, and it will never exist in the future. Therefore, knowing that perfection exists only in the concept of man is the first state of enlightenment; Even if you are not disappointed when you catch this at the moment, but are in a slightly better mood and try to do your part, you will be able to attain the second state of enlightenment. Those who do not talk about imperfection and do not expect perfection, but who naturally move towards perfection in all their words and deeds, can be said to have reached the state of enlightenment.

However, such a thing cannot be expected in young people. They don't understand that only imperfection is proof of it, and they resented that there shouldn't be imperfection. And anger is passion, and enthusiasm is power. Because this power can be used to promote the change of the world, the baby is worth cherishing, but after all, it cannot be denied that this power is generated by insufficient understanding.

And the anger of humility comes from this lack of understanding. He resented the turbulent times in which the weak preyed on the strong, succumbed to evil, and wars were frequent. But seeing the attitude of the three Nishishizhi just now, this made him know what the root cause was. The dignity of the Son of Heaven and the authority of the generals were neglected, and this was the root of the troubled times. Peace is in order, and order is when the Venerable is respected and the inferior obey him.

In fact, this understanding is reversed. Because the world is chaotic, order is lost, and the difference between dignity and inferiority is chaotic. But Qianxin didn't think so, and could only say that she was still too young.
