Chapter 35: The Young Master of the Nakajo Family
"Good! Kira Hall is really a straightforward and generous person, so I will ask the dog Hidetaka to Kira Hall! Nakajo Tsunetaka summoned a young man with good facial features to kneel beside him, the young man was wearing a simple Wu costume, his hair was tied up to make a common hairstyle in the Eastern Kingdom, the childishness on his face had not yet been taken off, and he looked like he had just been dressed for a long time, and he knelt meticulously and listened to his father's instructions.
"Yatoji! In the future, you will follow Kiraden to the shogunate to serve the shogunate, remember not to fall into the name of my Nakajo family, remember? Nakajo Tsunetaka suddenly changed his sick appearance just now, and spoke like a Hong Zhong Da Lu full of anger, as if the whole person became magnificent again when he saw this young man.
"Yes! Father! I, Yato Jihidetaka Nakajo, will not fall into the prestige of my Nakajo family! This young man named Yatoji speaks very methodically, judging from the gesture and expression of kneeling, he is also a noble son who has been cultivated by family etiquette, of course, what makes Kira Manmatsumaru care the most is his young name, and when he hears this young name, he understands the plans of this Nakajo Dewa Mamoru.
Yatoji is the common name used by the Nakajo family since the ancestor of Nakako, Nakajo Junhei, this Izuden Kira Manmatsumaru once read in "Azuma Mirror", and also lived the Kamakura chaos of the samurai family is a great family, and the Nakajo family has always maintained the tradition tenaciously, this spirit is admirable.
This Nakajo Hidetaka didn't seem to have the slightest stage fright, straightened up and turned to Kira Manmatsumu to bow respectfully: "Nakajo Yatoji Hidetaka see His Highness Kira!" ”
"Nakajo Hall doesn't need to be polite! You and I are both subordinates of His Royal Highness, and in the future, I will be ministers of the same palace, and I also ask Nakajo Hall to take care of it. Although the two are polite to each other, they also know that the Kira family is the head of the public, and he is in charge of the power of the public in five times, and he is also the first member of the Ashikaga shogun's family, and the Nakajo family is a head when it comes to the sky, and the two are superiors and subordinates.
The status in Mikawa is quite different, the territory of the Kira family after the decline is roughly equivalent to the Nakajo family that has not declined, but this balance of power has not been maintained for long, more than ten years ago the Nakajo family was beaten down by Matsudaira Kiyoyasu after it was simply miserable, not only lost his own official Miyake clan, Suzuki clan, Nasu clan, Abe clan, even the Takahashiso who has dominated for more than 300 years has become nominal, neither the shogunate nor Mikawa can compete with the Kira family, except for becoming Kira Manmatsumaru's official gradually turned into a retainer, he has no other way.
In Nakajo Dewa Mamoru Tsunetaka's view, Kira Manmatsumaru's visit this time was to force him to take sides, either to enter the camp of the Kira family, or to wait to be attacked by the Kira family, although the news that the two Kira families were going to fall to the Imagawa family did not come out, but Nakajo Tsunetaka had long been aware of the changes in Okazaki Castle, and the defense against Hatazu County was completely removed, and the retainers of the upper and lower Yoshira frequently came and went to Okazaki Castle, and such an obvious thing was still kept in the dark by the Oda family.
Therefore, Nakajo Tsunetaka wants to gauge the true thoughts of Kira Manmatsumaru, and then call his sister-in-law to pay homage to Kira Manmatsumu, the meaning of which is nothing more than entrusting the family business, I sent my sister-in-law over, and in the future, the Nakajo family and the Kira family will be a grasshopper on a rope, you can watch it.
Although he failed to get 100% support from the Nakajo family, the purpose of the trip was still achieved, and with a satisfactory answer, Kira Manmatsumu chatted with the father and son of the Nakajo family for a while, agreed on the date of Shangluo and various preparations, and hurriedly left the Boxing Mother City.
Just out of the punch mother city only to find that Yamaoka Zenjiro did not follow, a query only to know that this guy is obsessed with the art of war of the Nakajo family to sharpen the gun to learn a few hands, for this superb behavior, Kira Manmatsu Maru really cried and laughed, called a few horse warriors to capture this guy back, his inferior horse is very knowing, saw the master was carried out a miserable howl like killing pigs, so he ran to the tail of the team and waited.
Walking back on the rugged mountain road, Kansuke Yamamoto, who had been playing soy sauce and posing with thinking along the way, finally spoke, and as soon as he came up, he left the next news: "The Takeda family has been defeated!" This news has been tried to hide by the Takeda family for nearly a year, but it was still discovered by the family. ”
"Nani? Defeat? What was defeated? Kira Manmatsu Maru was a little surprised, since he was born, he had listened to the story of the Takeda family having an invincible military master Takeda Harunobu, Yamamoto Kansuke liked to talk about the military strategy of the Takeda family the most, and by the way, he also picked up the history of the enmity and feud between Takeda Shinmasa, Takeda Shinsho, and Yasukawa Nobuya, the father and son, in order to warn Kira Manmatsumu to deal with the issue of heirs carefully.
"I was only six years old at the time, is it really okay to talk about the question of the heir so early?" Thinking of that period of history, Kira Manmatsumaru shuddered, and his eyes when he looked at Kansuke Yamamoto also changed, making this Sengoku wise general look inexplicably wonderful.
"The long-lost news of the defeat from the Takeda family is a belated news that has been hidden by the Takeda family for nearly a year, but in the end it has spread all over Tokaido, and it is the brother-in-law of the Takeda Daizenden who revealed the news, Imagawa Jibu Palace." Kansuke Yamamoto began to lament the black history between this brother-in-law and brother-in-law again.
Since Imagawa Yoshimoto and his brother-in-law Takeda Harunobu teamed up to play his father-in-law Takeda Shintora, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has a card in his hand, has taken advantage of this advantage card Takeda Harunobu wants to die, not only to support his father-in-law's money and food, but also invited Takeda Harunobu several times to attack Hojo Shiyasu, as long as Takeda Harunobu said a "no" word, he immediately threatened him to "let your father go back to Kai", which made Takeda Harunobu miserable, so he could only follow his brother-in-law to fight Hojo with a bitter face.
So later, Hedong made a mess to the end, Takeda Harunobu jumped out and said don't fight, let's sit down and negotiate peace, there is no benefit from his Takeda family to fight back and forth, and it is okay to be intimidated by his unscrupulous brother-in-law with "let go of his father", this day is too unhappy, so the signs of the Triple Alliance germinated before the Hedong Chaos that ended a few years ago, and Takeda Harunobu was a peacemaker in it, and finally let the former relatives and today's enemies of the Imagawa and Hojo families sit together for peace talks, and then there is the story of the Triple Alliance.
For Imagawa Yoshimotokeng's behavior of Takeda Harunobu, Kira Manmatsumu didn't feel strange at all, none of the three guys in the Triple Alliance were simple, he was more concerned about the news of the defeat, and listened carefully to Yamamoto Kansuke's introduction Sure enough, he secretly shouted: "Isn't this the legendary Uedawara battle?" ”
Although that history has been blurred, he still knows some details, Takeda Harunobu was defeated twice by Murakami Yoshikiyo, not only fell under the same opponent twice, but also ended in a crushing defeat both times, which became the only stain in his life, as for how he defeated Murakami Yoshikiyo later, he was a little unclear, but vaguely remembered that it was Sanada Yutaka who made a great contribution in the end.
"The Takeda family is finally defeated? That wise governor of the Takeda family doesn't seem to be as invincible as advertised! Because of the astonishing incident of Takeda Shintora's exile, the Takeda family started a large-scale propaganda campaign that took a long time, "People are the city, people are the wall, people are friends, and hatred is the enemy." This slogan also spread during this period, and Mikawa Province was very close to Shinano, and they had heard a little about the propaganda of the Takeda family.
