Sure enough, he is worthy of a generation of military gods, even if he has not been in battle for more than a year after recovering from a serious illness, he is still difficult to resist, Kira Yoshitoki is not afraid of this brother-in-law being angry at all, he has his own reasons and is not afraid that Nagawei Jinghu will not agree: "Of course, for the sake of the North Shinano business, I have already owed Tiger Ji a lot when I am righteous, and the wedding has disappointed the ministers once, and I blame myself very much for disappointing Tiger Ji!"

If it is difficult to say what it will be like to fight in Ueno at this time, let Tiger Ji wait for a year and never say whether it is appropriate or not, and if you repeatedly postpone my righteousness, you will become a person who does not believe in your words, and your reputation will also be damaged, and the face of the Konoe family and even the shogunate will also be damaged, how should the heroes of the world evaluate us and others at that time, how should they evaluate Tiger Ji? Is this fair to her? ”

"Yes! Your wedding to Tiger Ji really can't be delayed any longer! A trace of sadness flashed on the resolute face of the long tail Jinghu, he has been a horse for more than ten years to say that the most owed is this sister, she did not enjoy family affection when she was young, and when she grew up, she was restrained by him and trained to become a Ji samurai, and finally married Ji Liang Yoshitoki, and then repeatedly made mistakes at the wedding, and he really had no face to see his mother Qingyanyuan and his deceased father.

Thinking of this, the majestic momentum of the long-tailed Jinghu also weakened suddenly, and a pair of tiger eyes revealed a little memory, and the silence for a long time finally turned into a sigh: "Then listen to you, the affairs of the Uesugi family will be put aside first, and your marriage with the tiger queen will be the first." ”

Kira Yoshishi is not in a hurry to go to the Kanto decisive battle, he is only fourteen years old this year, and he has a lot of time to deal with the Tiger of Kai and the Lion of Sagami, these two are one is running four, and the other is a middle-aged uncle who has reached the age of forty, and the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak in the past few years. The older you are, the less likely you are to lose your energy.

The battle of Nakajima in the past year was decided to belong to Kita-Shinano. Beat the Takeda family, who was at its peak, to the point of breaking his muscles and bones. A discerning person can see who is the leader of Shinano's future, and in the case of Shinano Kunigang's advantage, it is unwise to help Uesugi Kenmasa go to Ueno Province to take revenge, and taking out the wedding refusal is the best step, Nagao Keitora will not have an opinion, and Uesugi Kenmasa will not dare to have an opinion.

Time flies, and the entire spring mountain town is in a hurry, and even this year's spring sowing is hosted by Yamamoto Tokiyuki. As a groom, he has too many things to do, and during this time, he also received a letter from Oda Nobunaga, which is much better than the non-mainstream samurai who killed Matt's noble Fan a few years ago.

In the words of Oda Nobunaga's letter, it is: "Since the death of the master craftsman, I, Nobunaga, have been a qualified samurai, and I often have to consult Saburo when I have problems, so please don't be stingy with experience!" "Specifically, if what he said is true, only the ghost knows.

However, Hirate Masahide's death did give him a big blow, and it was not so easy to change from a stubborn young master to a qualified governor, but he kept trying to do it, shortly after Hirate Masahide's death. The Imagawa family launched a tentative attack, and Asahina Yaenon and Okabe Motonobu led an army of 3,000 out of Owari. As soon as he started, he attacked the wealthy clan Yamaoka Tsugoro of Shigahara Castle.

Then he went all the way to Mizuno Tadashi to divide the Kawa Castle, and at the same time transferred the people who returned to the main castle of the temple, and there was a rumor in the country that the country was full of soldiers, and everyone was in the clouds, and the Imagawa Shobu was going to go out of the battle, only Oda Nobunaga was unhurried to prepare the army, and he also asked his father-in-law Saito Michizo for a thousand reinforcements to sit on the Owari border, and keep an eye on Oda Nobunaga's back at Oda Nobunaga Oda Nobunaga in Kiyoshu Castle at any time.

And he himself led the 300 iron artillery team, 800 elite ashigaru, and the Oda family tree generation of 500 national troops out of the Owari border, in one fell swoop to capture the village wood, and under the Sakagawa castle and the Imagawa army encountered, the strong firepower of the 300 iron artillery team was suddenly brought into play, and the Imagawa army was defeated and retreated, and in the face of the Oda army with a strict lineup, Asahina Tai Neng weighed the pros and cons and decided to retreat immediately.

This battle played the prestige of Oda Nobunaga, although the iron cannon did not kill dozens of people, but outsiders did not see it that way, the 1,800 army thwarted the attack of the 3,000 army, no matter what, it is also a thing worth writing about, but unfortunately the most loyal Hirate Masahide died, Oda Nobunaga will never trust those genealogy retainers of the wall grass, he wants to promote his own retainers.

In his letters, he repeatedly mentioned that his younger brother Oda Nobuyuki was very favored, his mother and the retainers of the genealogy were biased towards Oda Nobuyuki, and that group of people would sooner or later instigate Oda Nobuyuki to turn against him, and now his mother had moved to Suemori Castle to live with Oda Nobuyuki, and made a special mention: "I have made up my mind, even if I kill my brother, I can't let him destroy the foundation laid by my father!" ”

"Going to break with his brother so soon? What a surprise! Kira Yoshitoki still remembers such an incident, and the familiar historical events seem to indicate that a new era is coming, "The sense of oppression of the arrival of this new era really makes me a little breathless!" But isn't that more fun? ”

After his big fooling brother's words and deeds, Nagao Tiger Ji raised the matter of competing for favor with several side rooms to a strategic level, and her approach was very unique, first she put a smile on her face and smiled when she met people, and when she danced a knife and a gun, she tried to compress it to an hour in the morning and afternoon, and at other times, she either discussed military strategy with Ii Naoto, or pulled Mochizuki Chiyonu to learn cooking with Aju.

The long-tailed tiger hime's cooking talent is so bad that he can't tell the difference between salt and sugar, so he simply forgets the recipe when he gets busy, and the things he makes are either sweet or salty, or a strange smell that makes Kira Yoshitoki swallow bitterly with tears, who told him to be caught as a food tester, and it took a long time to rinse his mouth to remove the strange smell in his mouth, which looks very hard.

"Na! I didn't do well this time, I'll definitely pay attention to it next time......" Hu Ji wiped the corners of his mouth with a red face, and he grabbed his little hand with his backhand and wanted to break free but didn't have the strength, so he could only be pulled by him and not let go.

Ji Liangyi leaned into her ear with a shy face and whispered, "Ah Hu, are you still angry with me?" ”

"Who...... Who is you...... Ahh Don't talk nonsense! Tiger Ji's face was as red as a boiling kettle, her cheeks were hot and steaming, and she struggled a little more but still didn't break free, so she was slowly pulled into his arms as if she were appointed.

The familiar hug and familiar breath reminded him of the young man who was galloping across the river and sea in the dark night, and the girl's heart suddenly softened, and she let him hold him in her arms. Tears that had been building up for days couldn't help but flow down my eyes. Whispering and sobbing: "Do you know how painful I am? I feel like I've been cheated! Ah Ju told me that the powerful martial arts family always had many concubines. As a main room, you must learn to be patient......

But why doesn't my brother have a woman? Why did my father only have two main rooms? Why does His Highness have so many women? Doesn't His Highness like Tiger Queen? Tired of Tiger Queen? After that, the girl's tears rained down.

"Silly girl!" Kira Yoshishi kept shaking his head, hugging the girl's light body, and said softly: "My good Ah Hu, don't be like this!" My favorite is Ah Hu! I swore to Hachiman Bodhisattva that I would spend my life protecting your people! How could I not like you? Even if I die immediately, I won't change my love for you! ”

"Is what Your Highness said true? Is it really the rarest tiger? As long as there is this sentence from His Highness...... Ah Hu feels so happy! "The girl who fell in love was stupid, and after a while, she explained what her brother was surprised and unprepared!" "Forget it all.

Ignoring the relieved and curious gazes of Aju and Chiyome, Kira Yoshitoki picked up Toraki and strode back to the castle tower. Completely ignoring the surprised look of the maid who came and went, Tiger Ji just stupidly buried her head in his arms and pretended to be an ostrich, probably not looking at others will not be shy! It's a pity that her face is still uncontrollably blushing.

Numata Sandalwood, who was sitting under the porch in the distance, was almost red with envy and jealousy, and kept twisting the gold-painted handkerchief with both hands, pacing back and forth until Kira Yoshishi walked away, and then sat down with a sad face and a white face, and sighed: "How can I win the favor of His Highness?" I've used all the methods taught by my sister...... Why is it still useless? Am I not pretty? Why does His Highness still spoil that crazy girl? It's really sad! ”

This episode did not affect the nature of Kira Yoshitoki, and while the female officials of the Konoe family invited to Kyoto were busy arranging the details of the wedding, he secretly took Torahime to the castle tower to do interesting things, and Torahime shy curled up in his arms like a docile little sheep. With his eyes closed, he made a look of being slaughtered.

Kira Yoshishi gently kissed the girl's thin lips, a soft and soft feeling. There is no legendary sweetness but it is more wonderful than the taste of honey, and the boy and girl are carefully doing pre-marital games, kissing and touching something, and only at this time can they appreciate the wonderful.

"His Royal Highness is a person who does great things, so Tiger Ji will not stop His Highness...... Tiger Ji doesn't want to be an unvirtuous main room, but His Royal Highness promised Tiger Ji that he will always like Tiger Ji the most, okay? ”

"Good! Or I swear! Hachiman Bodhisattva is on ......"

"Don't say it!" Torhime covered his mouth and smiled: "It's good that His Highness has this heart, Torhime is very happy now, and there is no need for Hachiman Bodhisattva to take care of us." ”

This winter is extremely long, it is even colder than before, the endless heavy snow falls intermittently from the early winter to the end of the first month, and the snow water has not melted before the spring sowing, taking the opportunity of fallow part of the farmland before the winter, turning all the soil, and then being soaked in cold snow water is enough to kill the locust eggs in the soil.

This method is used in the hills around Uonuma County, which is surrounded by mountains and peaks, where half of the snow is piled up, and the mountains and snow nourish Echigo's many rivers.

Wine making is simple, it doesn't need koji to ferment, as long as there is enough sugar and grapes to make wine, but the big question is where does the sugar come from? The sugar industry has always been an important source of revenue for all countries, and even if sugar cane is not strictly regulated, it is not something that can be grown in most parts of Japan, and it is a cash crop that prefers high temperatures and sunlight and prefers heavy rainfall, and only the vicinity of Satsuma Province can barely meet this standard.

Sugar beets can be cultivated to produce sugar, but that is hundreds of years later, with the current ignorance of the industrial technology does not have the possibility of refining sugar from sugar beets at all, can only use the most traditional breeding methods to slowly graft and cultivate sugar beets with high sugar yield, fortunately, as a vegetable genius roots and leaves can be eaten as vegetables, only for experimental planting does not use much land.

Time trickled like a trickle, and in the blink of an eye, in the spring of 1555, two full years had passed since the beginning of Echigo, and the development of Echigo's new fields was gradually on the right track, and this time the 5,000 machibu new fields were developed in one go, when a grain of rice seedlings was inserted into the paddy field. The smiles of the peasants are so pure and sincere. They tread on a strange rhythm to the ballad of Echigo. Probably praying for a good harvest this year.

The Takeda family didn't have any accidents, only the seeds of the new grain, and they didn't know how to plant them, and they didn't know what to do with compost and fertilizer, and they didn't know what pollination was doing. The peasants and the landlords were resurrected by the pit, and they all pleaded that this kind of son was fake.

After a multi-party investigation by the Takeda family, it was found that many samurai families in the Kanto region secretly planted new grain, and a similar situation occurred one after another, and the output of new grain was reduced on a large scale, and the general response was that the plants were short and weak, and what was even more terrible was that the land that had been planted became very barren, and the Ueda became Nakata, and the Nakata became Shimota, and Shimota could no longer grow grain for three to five years, and the invisible economic losses were difficult to estimate.

If this trial is only a small-scale trial, the impact is not big. The big trouble that comes with potatoes is even more of a headache for farmers who know the right way to store potatoes. Piling potatoes directly in your own house is a new change after a not too cold winter.

In March, when the potatoes began to sprout and emit terrible toxins, the unsuspecting servants and farmers took out the potatoes that had been stored for a winter and sprouted and ate them, and then they frequently experienced mild symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, at which time they thought they had eaten bad stomach and did not care.

As the temperature gradually rises, Kai is sown earlier than Echigo, many field servants, farmers choose to eat the remaining potatoes, this is not a simple matter of eating a bad stomach, the whole Kai, Minami Shinano appeared a large number of sick and even died, the symptoms are mainly reflected in the body temperature rise, repeated vomiting until severe dehydration, photophobia, dilated pupils, twitching of limbs, dyspnea, the doctor of Kai for this emergency for a time is also scratching his ears and cheeks, can only watch one patient die quickly.

Hundreds of people died in a month, nearly 1,000 people with mild and serious diseases, and those who thought they had eaten a bad stomach could not be counted, and the first reaction of the landlords and peasants was "Eat new grain seeds and eat the dead!" The next reaction was, "It must be a conspiracy made by Echigo!" ”

So the big bear Ashide, the city of Cheng Masashi was almost attacked by angry samurai and peasants, the two of them urgently asked the Takeda family for help while holding the castle, a few days later the Takeda family's envoy arrived, with the two and the representative of the local servant to the Kushizaki Pavilion to listen to the handling advice.

Big Bear Chaoxiu touched the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "Lord! This potato has been planted in Echigo for two years! I've never heard of someone being poisoned! If you don't believe me, you can go and ask if what I said is true or false! I, Chaoxiu, am fiercely loyal to the lord, and I have absolutely no intention of harming you! ”

"Then how did our Kai and Shinano samurai die? Could it be that he was cursed to death by a demon? Huh? A young Kai samurai glanced disdainfully at the two samurai who were constantly avenging their grievances, and scolded, "Damn Echigo! Why don't you die in Echigo, what kind of sin do you run to our Kai! ”

"Shut up!" Takeda Harunobu stopped the abuse of the samurai on the side of Koshin with a few drinks, and said with a gloomy face: "This matter is still inconclusive, it is not advisable to make a decision too early, Bizen Mamoru and Weaving Fu Yu are also tired from coming from afar, so they will rest in the museum for a few days, and then make a decision after making a conclusion." ”

"Yes!" The two of them silently got up and retreated, and their figures looked infinitely gloomy and lonely.

"It would be nice if Mr. Sixteen Bunkan was still here......" The thought disappeared in Takeda Harunobu's mind for half a second, Kira Yoshitoki and the Kira family are now taboo topics for Kai, including himself, he is reluctant to mention that embarrassing past, the pain needs time to heal, but the dead samurai cannot be resurrected, no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the Takeda family is seriously damaged.

After being silent for a long time, Takeda Harunobu said expressionlessly: "Have you found any signs of the activities of the two?" Have the two of them recently been in contact with strangers, samurai with Echigo accents, and suspicious things? ”

"No anomalous activity detected!" The leader of the Piercing Chief, Iitomi Jiro Guard, said: "These two people have not come out of the city except for their daily patrols and inspection of weapons, and nothing suspicious has been found in the news in the city. ”

"That's weird...... Could it be the Dead Room? Not quite like that! Komai Masatake frowned and pondered, he would not believe that the Kira family could control these two people, and the rebellion was like an unquenchable flame that was difficult to extinguish, and now these two people had no place in Echigo. For today's plan, there is only one mind, following the Takeda family to the dark. Where will it be a dead room.

Iitomi Husho glanced at Iitomi Jiro Guard. Questioned: "Then why didn't they find their relatives?" ”

"Big Bear Chaoxiu brought his younger brother to his family!" Nagasaka Mitsuken said helpfully: "Their relatives may have been sold to the Echigo samurai family as slaves. ”

"Then how did they ......?"

"Okay, let's stop! Last year, the Hojo family got a large number of good seeds from somewhere, so let's wait to see how the Hojo family reacts. Harunobu Takeda coughed twice and got up.

Half a month later, similar symptoms also appeared in some prefectures of Musashi and Sagami in the Kanto region, and the Hojo family's speed of action was much faster than that of the Takeda family, and they were immediately treated if there was an abnormality.

Envoys from Kai and Sagami traveled frequently, and it was determined that potatoes were a very dangerous food. Before its pharmacological effect can not be determined, it is not suitable to continue planting for the time being, so all the potatoes planted in the land are pulled up, and potatoes are listed as new grains that are forbidden to be planted.

Many people believe that it is a very evil thing that evil spirits brought to the world from hell, and it is said that the Kira family got it from the evil ghost country in the far west, and there are also rumors that the red-haired and green-eyed evil spirits have come together with the Kira family in Naoetsu, so this rumor spreads more and more, and when the Hojo family and the Takeda family realize the seriousness of the situation. It has caused huge economic losses.

Not only were potatoes uprooted, but all new grains, including corn and pumpkins, were uprooted by the field servants and farmers. When the lord came to reprimand them, the ground attendants also said that this was a demonic thing and wanted to kill them.

Therefore, they would rather delay the agricultural time to re-sow the seeds, and they must not be killed, but what is helpless, no one knows how much they will lose this time and forth.

Later, there was a rumor soon that this red-haired and green-eyed monster is called the Southern Barbarians, belonging to the uncivilized race that eats flesh and blood, this god has been cursed by evil ghosts, and only sent to Echigo to ask the monks to ignite, and the great monks from Kyoto, Tiger Ya Zongyi, and Asama Hisaka daily lecture on the ignition of the law, so the Echigo gods can be highly productive and non-toxic, leaving Echigo these gods are either poisonous or reduced, or because of the lack of ignition of high monks.

Such a bizarre rumor can be seen at a glance to be from Echigo, but it is such a powerful rumor, those superstitious landlords and peasants still eat this set, Kyoto's high monks preach the Dharma every day to ignite the divine seed to break the curse of evil spirits, this is a great good thing with immeasurable merit! Soon, the Kanto and Koshin landlords and farmers really developed envy for Echigo.

Some samurai began to suggest whether to let the local monks also come to light, but as a result, there were many pujas, and no matter how much the poisonous potatoes were lit, they were still poisonous, and if they ate a little bit, they would vomit and diarrhea for several days, so that those "eminent monks" who ate and drank together were very embarrassed, and they could only hide their faces and flee from the land of right and wrong in Kanto.

As for the regular temple, the big temple will not accept this kind of small list at all, and after the wild fox Zen mountain bushes are planted, they will not dare to accept this kind of list, so some undead samurai go around to inquire about Echigo's information, and even go to Echigo in person to see if it is so magical, and then the samurai who have been there are all amazed when they come back, which deepens the people's yearning for more Echigo.

The Hojo family immediately stopped when they saw that the limelight was wrong, and everyone was envious of Echigo, how did the samurai family in Kanto mix, and then turned over the rumors that the first evil ghosts were fried, although they were strongly opposed by some farmers in the township, but the right of public opinion was caught back, and the rumors of envy of Echigo were gradually stopped.

All of this was planned and carried out by the Hattori security chief, and at the same time it was one of several plans to incite Kanto and Koshin, and after these plans were handed over to Kira Yoshitoki, they were approved for execution after just one review, and the entire operation did not have much to do with Kira Yoshitoki, and being slandered by Kanto's rumors was simply the rhythm of lying down.

At the beginning of March, the envoys of the imperial court and the shogunate came in advance, and the envoys sent by the two authoritative institutions had a major characteristic, that is, senior old diplomats, the envoy of the imperial court was Yamashina Yanji, and the envoy of the shogunate was Odate Harumitsu, these two were not ordinary people, the former had made great contributions to raising funds for the imperial court to support the emperor and hundreds of officials all year round, and the latter family had also contributed to the Ashikaga shogun's family running around and running west to raise funds to feed the shogun and the shogunate to serve the public.

Needless to say, as soon as these two diplomats came, the congratulations and praises were smashed over as if they didn't want money, and the two of them secretly pulled Kira Yoshishi and muttered a few words, revealing an expression that you know.

The message that Yamashina Yan carried was the official wish of the imperial court, and the imperial court had long wanted to add an official to Ji Liang Yishi, but the helpless thing was that Ji Liang was too young, and he was promoted too quickly and was easy to make taboos, but now it is different, Yuan Fu is considered a "coming-of-age ceremony", and marriage is the real "adulthood", but this age is still too young to promote the official rank.

But on the basis of the four positions, you can add some other officials, this is allowed by the imperial court, Yamashina Yanji means that as long as it is not too much, it can be given, which is equivalent to saying that the meaning of letting Kira Yoshishi choose, this gift is not not rich.

In contrast, the shogunate was much shabby, and the message brought by Odate Harimitsu was Shinano's protection, and on the basis of allowing the issuance of "satosho", Kira Yoshitoki was allowed to issue the "Eastern Crusade Order", and theoretically the east of the three passes belonged to the eastern country, so Echigo, Shinano, and the ten countries of Kanto were included.

This name is a chicken rib that is not a chicken rib, and the reputation is actually far less important than imagined, and the Shinano guardian is completely pushing the boat, but the shogunate is tantamount to abandoning Ogasawara Nagashi, and I don't know what this expression will be when he knows that he is abandoned.

On March 6th, Konoe Maeji came to Echigo to participate in the marriage ceremony with Ashikaga Katsuhime, Kuga Harumi, Kikutei Haruki, Nakain Tongwei, Koshuji Haruhide, and Nakain Tsumi with Mamuro Kuga Yohime, and Nijo Harura, Saionji Gongchao, Tokudaiji Gongwei, and other ministers who were unable to come in person also sent envoys to send a congratulatory gift.

The former heir of the Konoe is now occupying a minister of the left of Sekibai, the elder of the Fuji family, and it has the meaning of impacting the "inner view", and the uncle of the former heir of the Konoe is old enough for a long time, and the status of the former heir of the Konoe is enough, and you are the two great Nayan, the right guard general, and the performance has been very active in the past two years, and it is said that he will soon be promoted to the minister.

The performance of Ji Liangyi's uncle Zhongyuan Tongwei was also very eye-catching, and the two big names were also high-ranking officials, but it was not enough for him to be promoted to minister.

His sister-in-law is now nineteen years old, and last year he added four senators and became an authentic senator Lieutenant General Zuo, although he was not promoted to the official at the beginning of this year, but the court has blown the wind, and it is expected that his name will be in the promotion sequence of the secretary at the end of the year.

This means that before the age of twenty, being promoted to three places is definitely the fastest promotion record in the minister's family in the past hundred years, almost catching up with the promotion speed of the Tsinghua family.

I haven't seen her for a few years, Ashikaga Katsuhime's height has grown a lot taller, and now she is also a fourteen-year-old girl, and several years of married life have also made her temperament quiet and soft, but when she looked at the bride, she still didn't miss the opportunity to laugh at Kira Yoshi, and told her the troubles and interesting things from childhood to adulthood. (To be continued......)
