Chapter 193: The Imagawa Family's Calculations (Four Thousand Chapters)
Omi prepared a total of 4,235 new and old troops, and the cost of unified redress was less than 2W Guan Yongle money, as long as it was used to replace weapons and armor, the inferior horses brought by the Omi samurai were not within the scope of redressing, and they could also understand this reason, after all, the Mikawa samurai were completely out of production, and the Omi samurai still retained the attributes of the wealthy family and land servants, and they could only accept relatively unfair treatment if they were unwilling to give up the land.
These two armies totaled more than 7,000 people for a large-scale redress, replacing the armor and weapons, selecting 5,000 of them to be well preserved, and the other 2,000 sets were half sold and half sent to the shogunate, just to solve the problem that Ashikaga Yoshito was struggling with, and his 2,000 troops only accounted for 3 percent of the power of the wealthy clans, most of which came from the village to recruit Ding soldiers.
On the one hand, this is to learn from Kira Yoshitoki's suggestion, determined to develop a completely full-time training by the shogunate elite, on the other hand, the Hao clan is not willing to participate in the shogunate's new army, he wants to gather more self-armed Hao clan land servants, but with the Kira family to support 2000 sets of armor weapons, the shogunate's burden is also greatly reduced, only need to bear the supply of soldiers, send the shogunate directly under the shogunate to train and manage the shogunate army in public training.
The Kira family did not hold a New Year's greeting as usual, but instead it was a New Year's assessment meeting, and Okochi Kunitsuna took over the position of the Ina Tadashi family and became one of the main members of the council, and for more than a year, Okochi Kunitsuna participated in the whole process of land inspection, and cooperated well with Ninagawa's relatives, and the preparation process of the Biwa House and the money house also followed Matsui Tomokan with his outstanding performance, and he was very active as an assistant to Mitsui Toraka when arranging for the townspeople to levy and issue general service.
Nakajo Tokihide rushed back to Sakamoto Castle at the end of the first month to participate in the first evaluation meeting of the new year, and he didn't see Nakajo Tokihide grow taller for a year. The image has also changed from the original little white face to black and strong. At the end of the assessment session. also had a long competition with Yunlin Academy Guangxiu.
"Please!"
The two are also considered to be brothers of the same sect, the first competition is very cautious, the two of them stand in the field with a wooden knife wrapped in bamboo strips, and the special wooden knife is used to prevent injury, for the master, it is difficult to keep the hand of each knife with all its strength, and after a while, Yunlin Yuan Guangxiu suddenly smiled: "I heard that the junior brother comprehended the new dangliu at a young age, Guangxiu wants to see it, so let the junior brother invite it first!" ”
Tokihide Nakajo nodded slightly. Quickly step up the premise of the knife slash, the action is understated without a hint of premonition, Yunlin Yuan Mitsuhide retreated slightly and quickly stepped forward to slash forward, Nakajo Shixiu swung the knife in harmony, hit three times in a row and pushed it away again, this game is only in an instant, and it is possible to miss the subtle change in action footwork in the blink of an eye, even the rookie of Kira Yoshitoki can see the difference.
Honda Sanya sat in the corner with a small wooden gun and muttered to Gengoro Watanabe: "It doesn't seem to be as good as the last fight!" ”
"I think so too......"
"Stupid! Don't talk too much during the game! Yamaoka interrupted the whispers of his friends very facelessly.
Yunlin Yuan Guangxiu held the wooden knife obliquely and walked like a galloping horse, facing the middle of the time, it was a heavy slash. Nakajo Shixiu brushed the block, and Yunlin Yuan Mitsuhide slashed out heavy knives one after another. The speed of each knife is perfect, and the continuous slashing is connected with the virtual and the real, forcing Nakajo Shixiu to only use secret skills.
"Phew!" With a loud shout, Zhongtiao Shixiu suddenly raised his knife and slashed back Yunlin Yuan Guangxiu's assault, and then a heavy slash opened his counterattack, making Yunlin Yuan Guangxiu's middle door wide open, Zhongtiao Shixiu seized the opportunity to slam the sword momentum, and his left hand turned his wrist into a black shadow stab.
"It's a wheel cut! Cutting wheel cutting cutting protrusion! What a genius! Tokiyuki Yamamoto exclaimed.
"Huh? What kind of move is this? Ji Liang Yoshishi pointed to the Yunlin Yuan Mitsuhide after taking advantage of the situation and retreated to turn the knife to open the stab, and raised his hand to make the knife unhurriedly, the blade castrated without fireworks but very fast, and before the middle of the show retreated, the wooden knife was already against his chest.
Nakajo Shixiu decisively closed his momentum and retreated and said: "Senior brother's swordsmanship is really higher than Shixiu, just now it was Kashima Shenliu's immovable sword, right?" ”
"Yes! This is Kashima Shenliu Immovable Sword, and I can only use three points, and the teacher told me that this style will take ten years to practice. Yunlin Yuan Mitsuhide nodded and admitted that he used the secret technique, Xindang is spread from the two major schools of Katori Shinto and Kashima Shenyu, and Tsukahara Bu Ling, who founded the new Dan Stream, is naturally proficient in the secret technique of Kashima Kami-ryu, and as the eldest disciple of Tsukahara Bu Ling, he is also the closest to the extreme Jiji, and he naturally learns not to move the sword.
"The swordsmanship in Xia is still much inferior to the senior brother, and it will be difficult to get started with this immovable sword in a few years."
Yunlin Yuan Guangxiu said: "Senior brother doesn't have to be depressed, with the understanding of junior brother, he must have already comprehended a few points, right?" The two looked at each other and smiled.
At the end of January, the Mikawa Kira family sent someone to donate money, and the 10,000 yuan was exactly half of the income of the Kira family after the seal, and it was about the same amount after removing various expenses.
All the members of these retainers were driven to Omi, and the samurai who had nothing to do all day were busy making children, and this year, regardless of the old guys in their thirties or forties, ushered in a new fertility peak, and it was called family reproduction, and it took two years to subjugate the Imagawa family, and many retainers were degenerate for enjoyment, and they used to mention going to Kyoto to follow the lord of the hall, but in the last year, they have gradually stopped mentioning it.
Hearing this, Kira Yoshishi smiled indifferently: "This is not bad, a group of ambitious and talented generations are a headache." ”
The Toe Asahina family, where the Imagawa family's heavy minister Asahina Taino is located, was originally the Kira family's official in Toe, and was later absorbed by the Imagawa clan, and Asahina Taino, who was just in the Yuan suit, became a direct samurai of the Imagawa family, and moved to the position of the elder of the family by virtue of his military exploits, and he served as the second of the Kira family, so he naturally had the intention of winning over the Kira family.
After receiving Mikawa Yoshira's retainers, he had to learn from the envoy of the Imagawa family, who was the Sekiguchi Shinnaga who offered gold to the shogunate, and this monarch was also an old acquaintance of Kira Yoshito, and after some politeness and a generous gift as usual, Sekiguchi Shinnaga said: "At the behest of the lord, I seek a marriage with His Royal Highness Sakamoto." ”
Kira Yoshishi was stunned for a moment. With a strange expression, he asked, "You mean to say." Imagawa Jibu wants to marry me? It's not okay to marry a daughter to my brother. Are you going to marry me another one? ”
"Yes! His Royal Highness Sakamoto is the leader of the Kira family, and if the Imagawa family can marry adults, the relationship between the two families will be even stronger! Sekiguchi said.
Kira Yoshitoki felt that the Imagawa family's self-feeling was a little too much, and he glanced at Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who said understandingly, "Ahem...... Although I am a little presumptuous, I still have to say that my lord has already made a marriage with the sister of the Konoe Right Palace, and they will be married soon. The Imagawa family is still a step late! ”
"What? How so? Sekiguchi Qinyong's expression could no longer be suppressed, and he said in a panic: "How is this good...... How good is that! "It seems that I didn't think about this kind of thing before I came, maybe I was too confident in the Imagawa family, and I really thought that Kira Yoshitoki would definitely choose them.
"I, the Kira family, can only say very sorry for this......"
"No, you can't!" Sekiguchi Qinei suddenly shouted: "Please Your Highness Sakamoto take back your fate, my family's main hall is really going to marry you!" ”
"Huh?" Kira Yoshishi frowned, took out the bat fan with an unhappy face, stared at the fan and frowned in thought, I don't know if I was enjoying the scenery or thinking about countermeasures.
Yamamoto Shixing was a little displeased and said, "His Highness Sekiguchi! Please pay attention to the identity! What a style it is to be a samurai! Come! His Royal Highness Sekiguchi is tired......"
Sekiguchi was anxious and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! His Highness Sakamoto! It's a bit of an exaggeration, but I would like to ask you to think about it again. My lord is sincerely married to His Royal Highness Sakamoto! ”
"What is the relationship between the Imagawa family's woman who plans to marry the main family and Sekiguchiden?" Kira Yoshitoki stared at him with a cold face, making Sekiguchi feel as if he had become a prey being targeted by a falcon. Listening only to Kira Yoshishi, he asked in a cold tone, "It can't be the daughter of the Sekiguchi Temple, right?" ”
"How can this be ......" Sekiguchi Qinyong subconsciously wanted to refute, but only halfway through the words, he was frightened back by the terrifying eyes, and stammered to tell the truth: "It's indeed a little girl, but the little girl in Xia has been adopted as an adopted daughter by the lord a few years ago!" ”
"Enough! Your Highness Sekiguchi! Yamamoto Tokiyuki glared at him angrily with a calm face, and rebuked in a low voice: "What the hell does Imagawa Jibu think? Want to use an adopted daughter to be the head of my Kira family? What kind of house is my Kira's house? The country village of Mikawa? What a whims! ”
"But ......," Sekiguchi said with a bitter face.
Yamamoto Tokiyuki was dissatisfied: "There is nothing but! Don't you know that the prestige of this family is far and wide, and the head of this family, Yoshitoki Kirayoshitoki, is the first general of the shogunate? If Imagawa Jibu still thinks about the past Mikawa era, it would be a big mistake! The main room of the main family is the daughter of the Fujiwara family, the descendants of the Konoe family, do you understand? ”
Sekiguchi Jinyong said unwillingly: "But if it's a side room......"
"If it's a side room, it's acceptable." The corners of Kira Yoshitoki's mouth sneered, and he gently rotated the fan in his hand, and said in a very casual tone: "But His Highness Sekiguchi will definitely not be willing to let his daughter be the side room of the family, right?" ”
"This ......" Guan Kou kissed Yongne for a long time before he reluctantly said: "Actually, it's not that it can't be ......."
"So the daughter of His Highness Sekiguchi should be kept and married to the children of other families!" Kira Yoshishi waved his sleeves and didn't give him a chance to speak, but said meaningfully: "For example, the little governor of the Mikawa Matsudaira family seems to be called Matsudaira Takechiyo, right?" It is said that he is still a senior disciple of Master Taiyuan Xuezhai! ”
"How can this be! That Matsudaira family is from a lowly family! Sekiguchi retorted indignantly: "No matter what, my Sekiguchi clan is also a branch of the Imagawa clan!" ”
"Since His Highness Sekiguchi doesn't mean this, then ......" Kira Yoshishi ignored his expression and said with a smile: "This matter is still left to your lord!" The position of the main room of the main family has already been decided, how should you deal with the Imagawa family? His Royal Highness Sekiguchi must be on an important mission this time! ”
“…… Be! Seeing that it was dismantled from head to toe, Sekiguchi Jinyong also admitted very shamefully: "For the offense just now, I am very sorry for the offense just now!" This time, the lord ordered me to make a marriage with His Royal Highness Sakamoto, because there is no princess in the lord's family, so I adopted the little girl as the princess of the Imagawa family and promised it to His Royal Highness Sakamoto......"
Yamamoto Tokiyuki took the opportunity to threaten: "It's just that it is impossible for the family to accept this proposal, and His Highness Sekiguchi is not willing to go back like this to restore his life, so in this case, how should His Highness Sekiguchi deal with himself?" ”
"This ......" at this time, Sekiguchi Qinyong was very embarrassed, his face was like a bitter melon, and his hands were rubbing his sleeves to look very painful, no wonder he was so uncomfortable, because he was in a hurry to reveal his flaws, only to be blocked by Kira Yoshitoki's words, at this time, he wanted to bow his head and surrender to reduce his daughter to a side room.
But he was burdened with Imagawa Yoshimoto's strict orders, and he himself made a pleading, if this matter was not done, it would be terrible, thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret his recklessness, it seems that he underestimated this little doll too much in the past, I didn't expect him to be so cunning, and he hit his own vital point at once, making it lose ground.
"My family doesn't want to embarrass you, but it's really difficult to satisfy my family with this proposal!" Kira Yoshitoki didn't seem to want to waste time, so he turned the conversation around and proposed, "It's better to do this!" How about a different choice? ”
"Someone else?" Sekiguchi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Can this still be replaced?" ”
The implication of his words is that the princess of his Imagawa family is not a cabbage on the street, how can he say that he can change it, and his daughter did not marry because of his mistake, how should he deal with himself in the future? Do you really want to marry the native child of the Mikawa family, the family that you despise?
"That's right! Change your choice! Isn't the daughter of the Sekiguchi family the princess of the Imagawa family? Anyway, even if this marriage is formed, it will still be a secret contract, and no outsiders know about this matter yet, so even if you plan to marry another family, it's okay! Kira Yoshishi said seductively.
"That's true!" Sekiguchi Qinyong moved a little, and when he thought of the question of the candidate, he hesitated: "But who do you want to change?" ”
"Naturally, it can't be a family member of the Imagawa family, otherwise how will His Royal Highness Sekiguchi and Ling Yuan deal with themselves?" Kira Yoshitoki said with a smile.
"Yes! If it is replaced by the daughter of the Horikoshi family, not only will it be humiliating, but the main hall will not be happy! "The Horikoshi family is the most important branch of the Imagawa clan, the Toe Imagawa clan, and the ancestor is the famous deputy general Imagawa Rytoshi, but this clan has always been not in harmony with the clan, from Yoshitada, clan, Shihui, to Imagawa Yoshimoto, these four generations have not stopped rebelling against the clan.
