307 The abacus of the temple house

In ordinary Fusang aristocratic families, the status of daughters is quite low, because they are basically used to marry other powerful people and relatives in the future, and they are similar to a tool. But the Tachibana family is different, Tachibana Thor dared to slash lightning when he was young, and as a result, he was electrocuted and half of his body was not successful, and his ability in that area was inevitably affected, not that he couldn't get up the problem - in fact, Tachibana Thor had a comparison with his prestige on the battlefield in this regard, every time he killed a big name, it was to put the opponent's wife, concubine, daughter, and even all the female surnames and family members who were still passable, down to eight years old, up to forty-five, all of them were included in the harem, and now the back house of Tachibana Mountain City does not dare to say that there are three thousand fans, At least seven or eight hundred are available.

And what is even more talked about by the ladies and ladies of the upper class of Fuso is the story of Tachibana Thunder God who once gathered Otomo Sorin's wife and three concubines, four daughters, as well as Otomo Sorin's mother and four aunts together that night after attacking the Mizuki of Otomo's family.

Ten women in one night, Tachibana Michiyuki immediately became the object of the fantasy of these noble ladies, after all, it was a difficult thing for the soft Fuso men to satisfy their wives.

But I don't know if it made Thunder infertile.,Anyway, Tachibana Thunder God has sown countless seeds.,But there's only one daughter.,Chiyo.。

The old woman is the only heir, and she will inevitably be spoiled in peacetime, but now for a while, the anger of the Tachibana Thunder God can't scare her at all, and the Tachibana Dao Xue is trembling, and there is nothing to be done.

The lord humiliated the ministers to death, and now naturally there are henchmen and retainers who come to share their worries, a minister in his forties crawled out of the queue on the floor, smiled and smiled at Chiyo, and bowed his hand to Tachibana Michiyuki, and said: "Lord, since Eri Nona has offended Lord Lian, why don't you ask Lord Lian what he means?" Hehe, even if the adults say kill, let's kill! Even if the adults say let it go, let's let it go. ”

This is a clever thing, he threw the burden to Lian Zining, if he kills it, it will naturally be Lian Zining's sin, let Her Royal Highness the princess hate him! You can't let Her Royal Highness the princess and the lord be separated!

If it is released, it is naturally the lord's kindness and virtue, and full respect for the guests, and it is also the embodiment of our Tachibana hospitality, isn't it? As the saying goes, there are friends from afar who don't say it, hahahaha...... It's a double win.

Tachibana Michiyuki knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, glanced at the retainer approvingly, a smile appeared on his face, and said to Lian Zining: "Lord Lian, look? ”

As soon as Tachibana Michiyuki said this, all eyes fell on Lian Zining's face.

A trace of despair flashed on Tachibana's face, and a pair of big eyes looked at Lian Zining without blinking.

She has a very good impression of Lian Zining, gentle and elegant, knowledgeable, and a talent, and a young man's pride, it is those conspiracies and calculations, and the negotiations with herself, but they also show the shrewd and wise side of the surname. To sum up, before today, Lian Zining was like a prince charming in her heart, and she was really much stronger than those Fusang magnates and nobles who she had been in contact with since she was a child. Compared with him, Xiong Zongmao, who used to look brilliant, now feels unpleasant to the eye!

The beard is so long! It's so ugly! Such a fat body! The sound is so ugly! Wen can't recite poetry, and the force is far behind! Those so-called outstanding feats are like children playing at home compared to others!

But from the incident outside the mountain city this morning, she also saw Lian Zining's surname, this is a person who is gentle on the outside, but in fact he is extremely arrogant and tough on the inside, and he will never be offended!

Nona him off? How could he spare Nona?

Lian Zining couldn't help but smile bitterly, who said that Fusang people are turtles? Even if it's a turtle, it's a turtle with a heart, you see the conspiracy and calculation of others, and they quietly throw revenge to themselves.

Being stared at by everyone, he said he was under a lot of pressure.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Li Yena, the water in the ding was already very hot, her snow-white skin had turned a little red, looking at Lian Zining, a pair of big eyes were full of tears, full of pleading.

He sighed, although this girl is tall, but the poor * breasts on her chest reveal her real age, she is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl!

He smiled bitterly, stood up, and bowed his hand to Tachibana Daoxue: "Today's matter, it depends on the lord of Rika County, although Jiang Rino Na offended me, but the crime is not to death!" Please also ask Boss Thor to let her go once! ”

Chiyo's big eyes flickered, first incredulous, then grateful, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It turns out that this Lord Mingguo is not so ruthless!

Erina finally couldn't help it, and tears rolled down in big pieces.

Lian Zining sighed, he was a bad guy again this time.

But let him watch a beautiful girl of this age being cooked to death in front of him, and it is really unsightly.

Tachibana Michiyuki was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, even adults are kind, and the old man won't be a villain!" Let her go! ”

The servants on the left and right hurriedly extinguished the fire, and then poured water under the copper tripod to cool down, and Chiyo quickly asked the two attendants to take out the soft Enashi Nona, who had been soaked in hot water, out of the water, untied the rope for her, and wrapped her clothes.

Jiang Li Ye Na suddenly fell to the ground, crawled on her knees and crawled in front of Lian Zining, Lian Zining didn't know what she was doing, so she just watched.

But he didn't expect Ye Nai to crawl in front of him, he actually hugged his feet and kissed his boots wildly, which startled Lian Zining, and quickly broke away, saying, "What are you doing?" ”

A meaningful smile flashed in Tachibana Michiyuki's eyes: "Lord Lian, this is my Fuso's kiss boot ceremony, and it is a etiquette that represents the greatest gratitude. ”

"Alright, you guys go down!" Tachibana Michiyuki waved his hand to Chiyo, Chiyo answered, and hurriedly retreated with Eri Nona.

"Hehe, the little girl is reckless, and she has disturbed the interest of adults, don't blame it!" Tachibana Michiyuki smiled and greeted, "Dance in a cloth!" ”

More than a dozen samurai were escorted up by the soldiers, and Lian Zining looked at it, a little familiar, it seemed to be the samurai of Xiong Zongmao who was drawing his sword outside the mountain castle.

Then a few servants brought up a dozen pieces of robes, and a porcelain jar, piled them together, opened the porcelain jar and poured out the yellow liquid from it, and sprinkled it on the robe, and after a while, the coat was soaked.

Lian Zining sniffed it, it seemed to be oil.

My heart moved, and I seemed to be able to guess something.

The dozen or so warriors showed great fear in their eyes, and their mouths were screaming, as if begging for mercy, but naturally no one paid attention to them.

They were forced to put on their robes, and then each of them was tied to a strong chain, and the other end was fastened to a post, and when they were all done, they were thrown with fire...... The dry robe was already soaked in grease, and at this time, it was ignited a little, and it immediately burst into flames, and in just an instant, these warriors turned into more than a dozen fire men...... The pain of the flames burning the skin, Lian Zining had never tried it, but it was extremely painful to think about it.

The warriors were on fire and let out screams that were mixed with the sizzle of the flames burning their skin, the sound of grease coming out and being burned out, and the sound of burning clothes. They wanted to escape, they wanted to struggle, but they were firmly held by the chains, and they couldn't break free, so they had to keep jumping and shouting in order to alleviate the pain.

More than a dozen fire men jumped up and down in a frenzy, this dance of smocks was really exciting!

Screams lingered in the castle tower, and the Fuso magnates laughed like crazy...... Lian Zining felt a chill in his heart......β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” dividing lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”Fusang Izumo Country, the big city in the temple.

Unlike other daimyo mountain castles, the Terauchi family is located in the capital of Izumo Province, but it is a huge water castle.

In the northeastern corner of Izumo Province, surrounded by mountains, there is a large lake with rippling blue water, which is said to be a large lake, but in fact it is a clear lake with the sea, and there is a waterway that is about a mile wide and more than five miles long leads to the sea.

Therefore, this large freshwater lake called Big Bear Lake is actually a very superior natural harbor, but it is not a transportation artery, so it is very deserted and not known at all, and few people know about it.

Although it did not become a natural harbor, it was a place where the temple family stayed.

This large lake is extremely large, almost equivalent to half of the small Izumo country, more than 100 li long, 50 or 60 li wide, it is a first-class big lake in Fuso, the lake is surrounded by a large area of fertile land, dozens of large and small water veins are poured into it, it is extremely convenient, and the geographical conditions are very superior. This plain, which is about 1.8 million acres in size, has fertile land, a vertical and horizontal water network, and resources such as fish, shrimp, lotus root, and crabs from Lake Dakuma, making it one of the richest places in Fuso, and only the Kansai land occupied by Hideyoshi Hashiba can be compared to the entire Honshu Island.

The temple family occupies the three kingdoms of Izumo, Hakuki, and Oki, and has a stone height of 1.5 million stones, of which 80% of the stone is high, all of which come from these fertile lands on the shores of Lake Okuma.

Naturally, this is the ruling center of the temple family.

There is a large island in Lake Big Bear, and it is the castle where the temple family is located.

Originally, Fuso had no castle, but in the Heian period, relations between Fuso and the Tang Dynasty and Joseon were tense, and the Kyushu area was generally built with mud to build a water castle, which became the oldest form of castle. Later, "Korean-style mountain castles" built in imitation of the Tang Dynasty and Joseon began to appear in inland areas of the country, and in the form of such castles, they developed into mountain castles with mountains as the main body of defense. During the Kamakura period, the samurai class appeared in large numbers, and most of the samurai lived on flat terrain, and for the sake of combat and defense, the samurai often built platforms and deep ditches around their residences to build relatively safe facilities. This form of "dwelling" later developed into "kan" and "flat castle". At the end of the Kamakura period and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, evil parties and bandits sprang up, and they relied on the favorable terrain of the mountains to make the crusading shogunate army suffer. The guardian daimyo followed suit and moved their "pavilions" and "flat castles" to the strategically located hills, which formed the prototype of a mountain castle that was once famous during the Warring States period.

After that, the Warring States period, the high military tension made the development of the castle very rapid, and various flat castles, flat mountain castles, mountain castles, and water castles appeared in large numbers.

A water castle is a castle surrounded by sea and rivers. For a city of this form, the ship is the only means of attack. Therefore, it has an incomparable advantage in defense, and it is difficult to be besieged. The most famous water castle during the Warring States period was Nojima Mizujo on the Seto Inland Sea, where the Murakami naval army was located. Bungo Otomo's Mizujo is also very famous, and in the Battle of Mizujo on Bungo Dansheng Island, the Otomo army bombarded the Shimazu Naval Army with artillery, making the enemy suffer enough.

The same is true of the temple water castle.

From a distance, this is a very magnificent building, the temple of the island is continuous, and there are large areas of castle pavilions, but on this side near the coast, there is a huge water wall, the wall of the wall made of wood encloses a large area of water, and there are countless warships in it, which looks very powerful.

Among the temples on the island, there is one of the most magnificent halls, which is heavily guarded by soldiers, and there is the residence of the temple family governor Terauchi Nobutaka.

A middle-aged man in bright red clothes was frantically smashing things in the main hall, precious porcelain from the Ming Kingdom, folding fans from Kansai, exquisite handcuffs of the Franc machine, anything that could be seen that could be reached by him, was smashed to the ground by him, and it was shattered!

While smashing things, he let out a violent roar from his mouth, and his still gentle face was full of hideousness, and the whole person was like a violent beast.

The two little chamberlains hid in the corner of the hall tremblingly, and the whole person curled up in a ball, not even daring to move! For fear that the Governor would notice him and be dragged down and beaten to death - outside the main hall, there were already more than a dozen corpses across the body, all of which had been killed today.

I don't know what's wrong with the family governor today, after receiving a letter from the south, the whole person became extremely violent, locked himself in the main hall alone, roared wildly, smashed things, and even Mrs. Komatsu came in to persuade her to be slapped in the face and thrown out. You know, the Lord of the Family Governor in Ping said that he loves Mrs. Komatsu the most, but where is he willing to fight?

Terauchi Shinlong turned his head violently, a pair of red eyes staring at them deadly, his eyes full of tyrannical killing intent.

The two little chamberlains suddenly turned pale, and their eyes showed despair!

"You, you two get out of here, go tell Hongji that rebel and let him get out of here for me! Let him come to me! Come on! Or I'll kill you!" Terauchi Nobutaka yelled loudly.

A little chamberlain was about to cry, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Lord, lord, Lord Honger has already run away today, have you forgotten, didn't you send a large army to chase after you?" There's no news yet! ”

"Rebel! Damn the rebel! If you dare to run, I'm going to kill you! I'll kill you! Listening to the words of the little chamberlain, Shintaka Terauchi was stunned at first, and then roared madly.

The two little chamberlains sweated like rain.

At this time, a trembling voice sounded outside the door: "Lord, Lord Qinggang is back!"

Hearing the name Lord Qinggang, the two little chamberlains quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and now in the entire Water City, only Lord Qinggang can persuade the Lord, right?

Sure enough, hearing the name of Lord Aoka, Nobutaka Terauchi was stunned, and his bloodshot eyes suddenly became clearer, he was stunned for a moment, looked at the hall that was messed up by himself, sighed, and turned back to the two little chamberlains: "Clean up here." ”

The two little attendants hurriedly kowtowed and said yes.

Then he shouted outside: "Tell Lord Qingoka to wait for me in the side hall." ”

In the side hall, seeing the temple Shintaka walk in, an old man in his fifties quickly stood up and saluted, but he was not dressed as an ordinary Fusang magnate, but wearing a Ming style green robe, high crown and ancient times, gray hair, thin appearance, not like a Fusang person, but like a Ming Dynasty scholar.

He didn't practice the etiquette of Fusang, but a long, fluent Beijing film: "I've seen the family governor in the next place!" ”

Nor is the title of Lord as others.

"Lord Aoka, please get up, please get up!" Nobutaka hurriedly helped him up and squeezed out a smile: "I have said it a long time ago, and I don't have to be so polite in the future." ”

This old man is Huang Qinggang, but he is not from Fusang, but originally a talent of the Ming Dynasty, and later saw that the imperial examination was hopeless, so he came to Fusang by floating boat, but he didn't expect that he was also a person who was quite fateful, and happened to catch up with the temple Shintaka to recruit strategists, and named the scholars with the surname of Mingguo.

But the scholars of the Ming Kingdom have always looked down on them as barbarians in these small countries, so much so that the recruitment notice of Shintaka in the temple was posted for a long time, but no one applied for it, which made him very angry, who had always regarded himself very highly.

But at this time, Huang Qinggang came.

He has always been keen on officialdom, but unfortunately, there is only one talent and fame, let alone being an official, even if he is an official, no one is useful, and the only way out is to open a Mongolian school in the countryside, open a museum to accept apprentices, and educate children.

This old man is also the surname of the head of the chicken rather than the queen of the ox, and his thinking is very unique, and he has calculated in his heart, how is the temple Nobutaka is also a million-stone high name, three countries under his hands, tens of thousands of soldiers, if it is placed in the Ming Dynasty, this is also a prince, and it is also a political envoy-level figure, and it is not a shame to be an old man who is a staff member.

So I came to the temple water city.

He is also full of poetry and books, and he has hills and valleys in his chest, which is by no means comparable to ordinary pedantic readers, but because he really can't write eight-strand articles, he can't pass the exam, in fact, whether it is literary talent and martial arts, he has a considerable foundation.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, it is also quite an outstanding talent, not to mention in the cultural desert of Fusang, these years, Huang Qinggang is really a lot of strength for the temple Xinlong, but also quite effective, so it is gradually favored.
