Chapter 34 Raising a child is a gift

P.S: Japan Chugoku Region: Japan is divided into Kinkoku, Chugoku, and Tokugoku from the west of Kyoto. Kinkoku refers to the area around Gyeonggi, China refers to the southern part of Japan's Honshu Island, and Engoku refers to the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku, and is divided in a manner similar to Europe's self-centered definition of the Near East, the Middle East, and the Far East. In order to avoid confusion among readers, this book will refer to China as "Celestial Empire", "Middle Earth", "Great Ming" or "Ming Kingdom", and the specific title will vary from person to person depending on the content, for example, the discussion will use "Celestial Empire" to refer to it to indicate the honorific title of China, and the Taoist mouth will call "Middle Earth", and the rest of the political figures will be determined according to the tone of their speech, and those who show respect for the orthodox status of our country in their hearts will be called "Great Ming"; Some villains, ambitious people will call it "Ming Guo".

Seeing that the thief Bald Tsutsui Shunqing turned around and walked out of the assessment room, Long Shaocong and the four of them prepared to take a look and quit and return the same way. But before they could get up, they heard someone below shouting, "Gentleman on the beam, come down!" ”

When Genzaburo heard this, he was immediately frightened, and Princess Hideko also showed nervousness, and even trembled slightly. From the reactions of the two, Long Shaocong guessed that the person who broke off drinking must be Oda Nobunaga, and he not only admired the vigilance and sensitive ear power of this "Fengyuner".

Long Shaocong guessed very accurately, but Nobunaga found that they were not aware of it, but that someone had informed him about it. This person has been hiding in the dark, and when he saw Princess Hideko appear, his body shook slightly, but then he regained his composure, and after observing that the four of them had no malicious intent, he did not stop him, otherwise they would have been in a different place, or they were subdued.

Now, the whereabouts have been detected, and it is obviously very stupid for all four people to be exposed, everyone, you look at me, I will look at you, and finally Princess Xiuzi and the three of them all focused their eyes on Long Shaocong.

Long Shaocong looked at this posture, and suddenly gave birth to a pride that I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, originally, a young master, a princess, and the rest of the mezzanine, and now they have become a wealthy lady and a daughter, only one of their own grass people, and now Long Shaocong is a hot brain at that time, and the bad idea given to Yuan Saburo is repentant.

But just when he wanted to shout "Master is here", he saw Yuan Saburo jump and jump off the beam, this sudden change completely frightened Long Shaocong, you know, the roof is nearly two feet high from the ground, and you have to break your bones and tendons if you jump down.

But to his surprise, Genzaburo first made a vertical leap, like a swift, and fell lightly, stepping on the right wall with both feet, and then with a borrowed force, his body jumped up again, and he turned around in a dashing volley, which was very elegant and landed firmly on the ground......

With this handsome kung fu, the two little beauties who were only startled almost shouted out, and as for Long Shaocong, they were even more amazed. He is now learning swordsmanship with Miyamoto Muji with Genzaburo, although meditation and qi training is also a daily compulsory course, but because Long Shaocong has no foundation before, it is far less than improving quickly in swordsmanship, and every time he meditates, the true qi in his body will always wander in the major meridians, so that Long Shaocong is unable to control it, and there is this obstacle, which makes him far inferior to Yuan Saburo in the vertical leaping technique.

Of course, it was not only them who were surprised, Hori Hidemasa saw the young master in such a way, and sighed in his heart, he stretched out his hand so well at a young age, and the future of this son is limitless.

Oda Nobunaga saw his son flying down, his face was even more happy, and at the same time he had more appreciation, looking at Genzaburo with a smile on his face, and did not speak.

Genzaburo walked up to his father and knelt down to salute: "My son and son come to see my father." ”

"Wu'er, did you hear all the conversation just now?"

"Don't dare to deceive your father, my son heard it, but I don't understand why my father did this?"

Hidemasa Hori stood aside, and he really sweated for Genzaburo to speak so directly, thinking about how he would persuade His Highness Nobunaga if he was angry for a while.

But what he didn't expect was that Oda Nobunaga actually laughed when he heard his son, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction: "Wu'er, stand up and speak." ”

"Thank you, father." Genzaburo stood up and looked at his father with no fear.

"Do you know where your brothers are?"

Genzaburo bowed and said: "Back to my father, my son knows that the eldest brother is loyal to Mino Gifu Castle; The second brother Nobuo succeeded to Kitabatake Gufang as an adopted son, and is now the governor of the Kitabatake family, leading the Iga domain; The third brother, Nobutaka, passed on to Kobe Gumori, and is now the governor of the Kobe family, leading the Ise domain; As for the fourth brother Xiusheng, he is now a monkey...... Oh no, for Hideyoshi-sama's adopted son......"

Speaking of this, Genzaburo was stunned for a moment, according to this line of thought, didn't his father have long been wary of that monkey and gave him the fourth brother as an adopted son, in order to replace him in the future......

Speaking of "that monkey" is not an ordinary character, this person is the famous Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Japanese history, of course, he is still called Yushiba Hideyoshi, leading the Western Army is fighting against the Maori family in China, and because of this person's relatively obscene appearance, sharp-beaked monkey gills, he was nicknamed a monkey by Oda Nobunaga, and this nickname also spread quickly.

Yushiba Hideyoshi was born as a farmer, formerly known as Kinoshita Tojiro, this person's career path can be called a ** silk counterattack. He went from a foot light to the position of a general of the legion step by step, and even in later generations in Japan, he was also known as a legend, leaving behind the legendary stories of "One Night Castle in Sumamata", "Three Visits to the Thatched House", known as Shigeharu Takenaka, known as the first wise man in Japan at that time, and the rebellion against the enemy general "Mino Three", "Kanesaki Palace", "Tottori Lost Food", "Takamatsu Flooded" and other popular legends.

In particular, the "Takamatsu Flooding" of the "Bird to Take the Grain" behind, it can be said that there is quite the style of Zhuge Wuhou, he first used economic means, arranged for merchants to take away the grain in the Tottori City at a high price in advance, and then the army arrived to take the city easily, and then used the mountain shape water potential, the water was flooded by the heavy soldiers, and the Takamatsu City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Three Kingdoms Guan Yunchang "Flooded Seven Army" is quite a comparison, it can be said that there is a stroke of genius everywhere.

In later generations, Japan relied on developed science and technology to create a lot of Warring States theme games, all of which wrote about this Yushiba Hideyoshi, and some Celestial Dynasty players were also addicted to it, and they didn't know how to extricate themselves, and even in the novels with the game as the "back" scene, in the form of small white text, all the heroic deeds of this person were added to their heads......

In the era that Long Shaocong crossed, this Hideyoshi-sama was already full-fledged and became the leader of the Western Army, the lord of Harima Country, with hundreds of generals and tens of thousands of armor soldiers. People who are accustomed to reading the history of our country will definitely scoff at this point of soldiers, indeed, compared with the great powers of the Celestial Empire, who often "top" thousands of yuan and wear millions of armor, his strength is simply a drop in the bucket.

However, you must know that Japan has a small territory, barren land, and a population far less than that of the Celestial Empire, and a local wealthy daimyo with a few hundred soldiers can be regarded as a wealthy family, and can wage a war against a neighboring country, and a battle of thousands of scales can be regarded as a battle level. The Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen, was often proud of his eight thousand Kai Chibei, and from time to time he took it out to scare the small lords of neighboring countries, if it was placed in the Celestial Empire, his troops were not enough for others to stuff their teeth.

Oda Nobunaga was very satisfied with his son's answer, and suddenly asked, "Wu'er, when will you become the governor of the Uetsui family and receive the territory of 450,000 koku in Yamato Province?" ”

This question is self-evident, Genzaburo's face suddenly flushed with excitement, and he knelt down to give a salute: "The son will live up to his father's trust, follow the example of several elder brothers, open up territory for the Oda family, and establish an immortal meritorious ......"

Oda Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction, picked up his son, and said: "Yamato Province is strategically located, backed by Yamashiro and Omi two countries, it will be the outpost of the outnumbered southern sweep of Kii, and at the same time, it is also the reserve place for the eastward expedition to Shikoku Island in the next two years, so only in our hands can we be the most relieved to be a father." ”

Genzaburo had never heard his father talk about the general trend of the world to himself, and when he first heard this grand statement, he suddenly felt that his heart was surging, and a magnificent scene of thousands of troops and horses rushing and fighting appeared in his mind, as if he was already wearing armor, riding his horse and charging, falling into the enemy formation and taking the opponent's head, his eyes burst with excitement.

Hori Hidemasa, who was standing on the side, was surprised to hear that the lord was talking about military affairs to a son who had not yet served the yuan, and he thought that the lord's love for this son was really extraordinary, and for the sake of his personal future, it seemed that he would have to put more effort into this young master in the future.

Not to mention Hori Hidemasa, Long Shaocong, who now lives in Liang, fell into another kind of reverie entanglement, hearing that Oda Nobunaga gave away his sons one by one and replaced others as governors to achieve his own political goals, it was a little unbelievable, and secretly wondered if he gave birth to sons in order to give them away.

In fact, how did he know that ancient Japan did not attach great importance to the surnames of relatives like the Middle-earth culture. In the genes of Japanese culture, there has never been the concept of "common people", and there has never been the concept of "the opposite sex is not raised".

Because, tracing back to the roots, there are only four major surnames in Japan, namely "Gen, Taira, Tachibana, and Fujiwara", and the other so-called surnames are either official names or place names, and they are limited to upper-class samurai and nobles, and civilians only have names, never surnames.

Therefore, in Japan during the Warring States period, sons were always sent back and forth, and some even made protons in this family, and then passed on to the next family, and at the same time, they were given different names.

For example, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate in later generations, was first sent to the Owari Oda family to be a proton, and during this period he formed a deep friendship with the young Oda Nobunaga, laying the emotional foundation for the "Kiyoshu Huimeng" as an adult.

Later, he was sent to Imagawa Yoshimoto in Suruga Province, and was given the name Matsudaira Motoyasu, and was forced to take the other party's daughter; In the end, it was not until the Battle of Barrel Sasama that he found an opportunity to escape and become independent, changed his name to Matsudaira Motoyasu, and achieved a hegemony.

And Oda Nobunaga sent his son everywhere is a little different, he is all in the opponent was beaten and was unable to parry, forced to sue for peace, sent his son to be an adopted son, and put forward the condition, this son must inherit the position of the governor of the family in the future, the purpose is to seize the other party's territory, and after the goal is achieved, and then restore the Oda surname in a grand manner.

Long Shaocong and the three of them had been squatting there, already with sore waist and legs, and they barely persevered, hoping that the father and son would finish their talk soon, and they would leave this dangerous place as soon as possible......

But at this time, I heard Oda Nobunaga say: "My son, in a few days, my father will hold a grand ceremony for you, do you know what name my father will give you?" ”

"When I go back to my father, my sons don't know."

"Katsucho!"

"Katsucho? Oda Katsucho ...... "Genzaburo chewed on the name in his mouth and realized the true meaning of it......

"Yes!" Oda Nobunaga continued, "My father believes that with my son's wisdom and courage, he will surely overcome the widow in the future and achieve something earth-shattering......"

"Father, ......" Genzaburo's voice was a little choked.

Oda Nobunaga shook his head, did not let his son continue, but stepped forward and took Gensaburo's hand and said, "Go, together with your father, go and wash the dust for your future adoptive father." ”

After that, he pulled Genzaburo out of the assessment room, but when he went out, he glanced up at the beam, and his eyes shot a cold light that was not easy to detect......
