The boy and girl ran out of the courtyard one after the other, knocking down a few maids along the way, frightening many servants, until they rushed to Kasuga Yamajo Honmaru and had no way to escape, looking around at the left and right full of stunned little surnames and servants, Kira Yoshitoki could only take a deep breath and said, "I think there is some misunderstanding between us!" ”

The long-tailed tiger Ji stared at the big round eyes and said murderously: "Bastard! I'll kill you! ”

The shadow of the gun danced with the sound of whirring wind, and because she was worried that the gun would hurt her, Kira Yoshitoki could only be forced to dodge left and right, and stabbed him a few times in danger.

Fortunately, all this was quickly stopped by the long-tailed Jinghu who came in time: "Tiger Ji! What are you doing? Don't put the gun away yet! ”

"Brother!" Nagatail Torahime was ashamed and angry, and when he pointed at Kira Yoshi, he scolded: "This bastard actually broke into my building just now, and he ......"

"Dare to talk back!" Changwei Jinghu scolded: "Yishi is your husband, and it is natural for him to go to your mansion!" For this reason, it's unreasonable that you have to fight each other, so don't go back and reflect on it quickly! ”

"Brother......" The long-tailed tiger Ji looked at his brother who had always loved him aggrievedly, and treated her so ruthlessly, and then turned to look at Ji Liangyi, who looked like an innocent person with a bitter face, and scolded him with shame and anger: "I hate you!" ”

Seeing his sister running away very impolitely, Nagao Jinghu was angry and bruised, and knocked on the floor a few times with a bamboo cane, before he said to Kira Yoshitoki with a little apology: "Yoshitoki, I'm really sorry for letting you be implicated, it's my lax discipline of Tiger Ji that frightened you." ”

"It's my fault this time. It's me who doesn't get angry with the tiger hime. I'll go back and apologize to her! "It's like this, everyone's face is not good-looking. Kira Yoshishi exchanged a few polite words with Nagao Jinghu and hurried back to the building.

On the way back, Kira Yoshitoki's head turned quickly: "I have to think of a way to avoid contradictions, the two of us already have a disagreement, and because of this accident, how will I face this main room in the future, and what face will I have to stay in Echigo?" Now there are rumors that I will occupy the magpie's nest when I am Ji Liangyi and steal the foundation of the Long Tail family, if it is rumored that I have a conflict with Tiger Ji. That's really yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants, and it's hard to distinguish the mouth! ”

As for the original idea of going down to Echigo, as early as the Sakamoto period, there was a fierce debate among the Kira retainers, and the Omi faction, the shogunate faction, and the Mikawa faction had different opinions, and there was also a matter of radical changes in the candle through the night, and even a big fight at one point, almost causing a big fight.

Among them, the Omi faction is the most resolute and thorough, they are loyal to the Kira family that can bring them benefits, and Kira, who cannot bring them benefits, has no need to follow them, it is better to guard the foundation of Takashima County and enjoy the success. Therefore, the vast majority of them give up going down to Echigo, and you can see what the attitude is.

The shogunate faction went from its initial resolute opposition to internal contradictions. Hosokawa Fujitaka and Matsui Tomokan changed their ways to support, but Odate Haritada, Ninagawa and others still expressed their opposition to the downward direction, and in the end they were left in Sakamoto to guard the family business, in the words of Kira Yoshitoki, appointing retainers to be loyal first, and if you have your own ideas and do not want to follow in his footsteps, then stay.

The internal reaction of the Mikawa faction was also very contradictory, most of them benefited from the Kira family's strategy to take root in Omi and have their own small family, from their hearts they were unwilling to leave this fertile land, but on the other hand, the family governor who gave them everything had to leave, and support or opposition became the new choice.

Almost the same as the shogunate faction, some people were firmly opposed to leaving, and most of them were unable to make a decision, but at this time, Yamamoto Tokiyuki stood up in time to actively lobby, and finally 90% of the people decided to support Echigo's downward action.

The price that Kira Yoshitoki demanded was that the relatives and family members of the Mikawa samurai should follow him to Echigo, and at the same time asked Kira Yoshitoki to make a promise to ensure that his rights and interests would not be harmed, that is, the previous promise of the generation Wanxing permission should be issued to them in writing, which is equivalent to changing the direction to give a security approval to ensure that the benefits they have obtained for generations are protected.

After the end of the controversy about the lower Echigo, how to develop the lower Echigo has become the number one issue, and the first plan put forward is the proposal of this dove to occupy the magpie's nest, and the first reaction of the utilitarian samurai is to occupy the magpie's nest, and this plan was immediately rejected by Kira Yoshitoki and a number of important ministers when it was proposed.

The people of Echigo are not stupid, and others can think of things that the Kira family can think of, and it is the most stupid behavior to overestimate themselves and underestimate others, but there are still people who insist on this idea, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest is the most time-saving and labor-saving, and the name of the Kira family is overwhelming the Nagao family, even if it causes a war, it is not hesitating, compared to the loss of a little reputation, the speculative dividends of a country are enough to make people crazy.

Kira Yoshitoki scoffed at this idea, first of all, they didn't know Echigo, let alone who Nagao Keihu was, Nagao Keihu was an idealist and Echigo's guardian, his political wisdom gradually matured in years of war and conspiracy betrayal, and of course such a simple reason as Hado's occupation of the magpie's nest could be thought of, and even more clearly and thoroughly.

It is very likely that when the measurement intention was put forward to Echigo, the dragon of Echigo realized this danger and great possibility, and the original refusal of Kira Yoshitoki's request may have this meaning in it, of course, he finally agreed to Kira Yoshitoki's request.

Among them, there is not only the main reason for the lack of heirs and only one sister as a political heir, but more importantly, he is optimistic about the development potential of Ji Liang Yoshishi himself, and at the same time, he is also attracted by the idea of solving the Chinese people proposed by him.

In case the jade is burned, the Kira family loses his wife and soldiers, and loses both people and money, and even breaks his muscles and bones, it will be a big loss, and this risk alone is enough to make Yamamoto Tokiyuki, Hosokawa Fujitaka and others shake their heads against it, not to mention that Kira Yoshito's ambition is not to occupy the magpie's nest, and if you want to do that, just kill the shogun in Kyoto, that method saves time and effort, and what you pay is nothing more than "a little reputation".

If it were replaced by Saito Michisan, he might be happy to do this kind of lower gram, or maybe a certain great demon king relied on coercion to make the princes slowly complete the steps of defeating the shogunate, the first big bad guy in the earth and the big bad guy in the first day. It's all the same big bad. The difference is nothing more than a comparatively bad one. The other one is very bad.

Kira Yoshishi cherishes feathers and is reluctant to do this kind of thing, and at the same time he is a young man with ambition, ambition, conditions, and resources, and he prefers to rely on his own hands to fight for a piece of the world, which Nagao Jinghu feels very clearly, so he will allow the Kira family to go down to Echigo.

In fact, he has more headaches than how to face Tiger Ji, this misunderstanding is likely to cause her a lot of damage, if it can't be reversed in time, it will definitely cause a very bad chemical reaction. For example, the future married life is unhappy, and the sharp contradictions between the two lead to the confrontation between Kira and the Echigo retainers, etc.

"For the sake of today, we still have to find a way to persuade her back!" Kira Yoshishi walked to the building with a heavy heart, and suddenly felt that his feet were a little unstable, and he couldn't react for a while, and then there was a roar from the earth, and the violent shaking that followed shook him to the ground, and the feeling that made people palpitate seemed as if the whole world was spinning.

"There was an earthquake!" The first thing that came to his mind was these three words, and then he thought of the long-tailed tiger hime, seeing the girl in white who fell in the distance. Kira could only secretly shout "bad", and he couldn't control the huge movement of the earthquake. Running over with his hands and feet and crawling with a rolling belt.

"Tiger Queen! Are you okay! The white clothes were stained with dust, and even the black and clean hair was stained with a lot of dust, and Kira Yoshitoki rushed forward to hug the long-tailed tiger hime, only to find that little Lori was very lightweight.

"Don't touch me!" The girl in white pushed his arm away, and just wanted to stagger to stand up, but was shaken down by the ensuing aftershocks, Kira Yoshishi held her delicate body, and said with concern: "No matter what happened just now, please believe that I have no ill will towards you, hold me tightly and we will go back together!" ”

The long-tailed tiger queen struggled and gave up the senseless gas, and the little girl's face was very bad, so she could only lean on his shoulder and walk back in the shaking of the earthquake.

The earthquake did not last long, but it stopped for a while, but it was far from over, and those with rich experience in earthquake resistance knew very well that continuous aftershocks would await them, screams and painful moans along the way, and the roofs collapsed somewhere.

As soon as he returned to the hall with the long-tailed tiger, he saw several maids hurriedly rushing over, asking questions around the tiger queen, and here Ah Ju also rushed over with a group of maids, and the two of them were naturally separated by their respective maids, and the tiger queen did not turn his head to look at him from beginning to end, which made him a little disappointed.

"How can this misunderstanding be resolved?" Kira Yoshishi thought of it with a headache.

This sudden earthquake still brought some adverse effects to Kasugayama Castle, there are about 4,000 households in the castle town at the foot of Kasugayama Mountain, because of this earthquake there are different degrees of collapse of houses, the most serious is only minor injuries, and the town of Naoetsu near the mountain has also been damaged to varying degrees.

Yoshitoki Kira was also pulled over by Nagao Keitora to discuss post-earthquake disaster relief, and the meeting was attended by Minoru Honjo, Nagao Keishi, Nakajo Fujishi, Nagao Fujikei, Okuma Asahide, Saito Asanobu, Naoe Mitsuna, Nagao Masaki, Hirako Bomasa, Hojo Takahiro, Yamayoshi Masahisa, Usami Tosamitsu and other important ministers attended the meeting.

On the other hand, Yoshitoki Kira's retainers, Tokiyuki Yamamoto, Hosokawa Fujitaka, Tomokan Matsui, Ina Tadaka, Mitsui Toraka, and Honda Tokimasa also participated in the temporary assessment meeting.

These include evacuating people from towns that were severely damaged by the earthquake, rescuing the injured by a local concentric group and moving them to relatively safe areas for unified treatment, and providing assistance such as tents, food, and drinking water to the homeless victims.

The Kira family pursued excellent governance skills, and suppressed all the arrogant Echigo samurai at once, such as Okuma Asahue, Naoe Mitsuna, Hirako Fangmasa, Yamayoshi Masahisa and others, who have always boasted of being masters of internal affairs, but compared with the followers of the Kira family, they are much worse, and they can only admit with a bitter face that their skills are not as good as others.

Nagao Keitori asked Kira Yoshitoshi for his opinion, and when he saw that he had nothing else to add, he immediately pressed the flower and turned this paper document into a decree issued to the seven prefectures of Echigo. This was the first time that the Kira retainers had bared their sharp fangs after three months of silence. Of course, it aroused a certain vigilance of the long-tail retainers. But it doesn't look as serious as it seems.

In a certain kojiki in Kasuga Mountain Castle, a group of long-tailed retainers gathered together worriedly and carefully discussed something, only to hear Hojo Takahiro's loud voice shouting, "Isn't it just a group of outsiders? What is there to be afraid of? Now we should be concerned about the inflated personal desires of the lord, in the past few months, the lord has reached out to the tax of the country several times, which has seriously threatened the rights and interests of our people, and we cannot do nothing! ”

"Hehe, Danhou Shoudian is right. We should take it seriously...... It's just that the lord's request is very reasonable, so what reason do we have to object? Pingzi Fang Zheng said with a smile: "What is the opinion of His Royal Highness Bizen Mamoru?" ”

Daxiong Chaoxiu and Pingzi Fangzheng glanced at each other, and said with understanding: "I, Chaoxiu, agree with Wakasa Mamoru's opinion!" ”

Seeing the two allies of the Uesugi faction rising, Usami Dingman also echoed: "The lord's decree is impeccable, and the Tango guard should be a little restless!" ”

"You ......"

"Everyone, don't be impatient! We are all Echigo nationals, and we can't make jokes in front of outsiders, and we have something to say. Nagao Fujikei pulled his goatee and acted as a peacemaker inside, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the anger of the two gangs.

"Oops, I'm a little sleepy. Let's take my leave! Saito Asanobu got up and left with a haha, regardless of whether it was outside or in broad daylight. Saito Asanobu left, many other retainers retreated, and Minoru Honjo, Nagao Keinobu, and Nakajo Fujishi did not show up on the grounds that they were busy with their official duties, so this secret meeting could not be carried out any further.

The long-tail political scene, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, looked at the performances of many former allies in the hall, and always maintained a cold attitude, but sneered in his heart: "The Echigo Uesugi faction is like a yellow flower yesterday, if you can abandon me yesterday, you will be abandoned tomorrow, it's really a pitiful and pathetic person." ”

Thinking of this, Nagao Zhengjing said slightly apologetically: "It's not too early, my Zhengjing is also leaving!" ”

Everyone also said goodbye, only Hojo Taka sat in place through gritted teeth, and roared angrily: "A bunch of bastards without seeds! I was scared by that tiger cub! It's unreasonable! ”

……

Kira Yoshishi has been having a bad time lately, not because he has a headache about the complicated things that he helped build after the disaster, but because his fiancée Nagao Toragi has been unwilling to pay attention to him, and he has exhausted all the methods he can use these days, and he still can't coax the beautiful woman to be happy, and the gifts and snacks that he tried so hard to send over were thrown out by the girl in the opposite house.

If it only happens like this, what's worse is that the long-tailed tiger queen has been avoiding him all day long these days, either riding a horse to other training grounds to practice marksmanship, or riding a horse out of Kasuga Mountain, and a group of frightened attendants are frightened, and every time he sees Kira Yoshi, he hides far away.

"What the hell should I do? I didn't mean to do that...... All right! I was wrong, but I think there should be a chance to redeem it. Lying in the large bedroom, Kira Yoshitoki stared out the window at the garden in a daze, and since the other day Hans of Nassau, the German man, had approached him and urged that Ma Hui and Akabi should not idle on horseback hunting during their training, and that his only amusement in Echigo had been deprived.

"Your Highness!" Ah Ju pushed open the paper door, walked in with a plate of refreshments, and said with a pure and soft smile: "Let's eat some pastries!" The walnut cake that Ah Ju made recently is delicious! ”

"Well, Ah Ju is always good at eating, I'm going to get fat if I go on like this!" Ji Liang Yoshishi symbolically complained, and couldn't help but devote himself to the struggle for the new meal, while stuffing delicious pastries into his mouth, he shook his head and said: "I still have to go to training in the afternoon, that damn German guy is so hateful, today I am willing to give me any special treatment, let me practice basic swordsmanship and spearmanship with a group of small surnames, I am a master of deep marksmanship!" ”

"Chiyo Nu will come and try it too!" Ah Ju picked up a piece of walnut cake and said seductively: "It's delicious!" ”

"Goo-dong!" With a sound of swallowing saliva, his little head poked over, and he said with grievances: "Chiyo Nu can't eat, last time because of greed, His Royal Highness was almost injured, and my uncle was very angry and reprimanded Chiyo Nu, so Chiyo Nu can't eat anymore." ”

"Huh? Why? Ah Ju stood up and handed over the walnut cake, and said as if he was upset: "There's nothing wrong with Chiyo Nu!" His Royal Highness and Princess Tiger Ji were just joking, and Princess Tiger Ji told Ju Ji that she would never do this again! (To be continued......)

PS: Basically explain the twists and turns of Echigo's downward direction, the two counties of Omi are a dead land that is difficult to enter, and the harvest of loyal retainers is enough. Is it to fight to the death in Jinai, and then go down to the top to bring down the general? Or do you want the birds to fly and see Uesugi, Takeda, and Hojo?
