Although all the construction work has been completed for this resort and recuperation palace, Yamamoto has decided to build permanent fortifications in this valley at an altitude of 150 meters above sea level, which means that it is necessary to build a wall to build arrows and oars for storing soldiers and money, and together with the previously built houses for 3,000 people, as well as various houses for vacation and leisure, this place has been turned into a barracks fortress.

"Why build such a complex military fortification? And build a three-story castle tower? Am I right? He was dizzy when he stared at the complex architectural maps, the complex structures of various dots and lines, which he learned from the Nanban, and this is the Nanban architecture in layman's terms, but it seems that he has only learned how to use a ruler to draw more standardized and beautiful drawings, and there is still a long way to go from such things as Baroque architecture.

"The estimated cost of building these military buildings is 2,000 Guan Wen in Yongle Qian, which can garrison 3,000 defenders and 2,000 residents, and the main intention is here." Tokiyuki Yamamoto pointed to Mikuni Pass, an important passage from Echigo to Ueno.

"Huh? Mikuni Pass is actually on this passage, no wonder there are so many ships coming and going on the Uono River, it turns out that this is because of this! "Kira Yoshitoki is a little stupid, and he has been a little slow to react without knowing his brain in the past few months, and he didn't even notice such an important connection, and the Three Kingdoms Street that connects Kanto and Ueno Province passes through here.

Because of the Uono River, most caravans would choose to enter the Shinano River by boat and then change their means of transportation to their desired destination, but the successive natural and man-made disasters in the Kanto region in recent years have reduced the number of travelers to and from the Mikuni Pass by 50% or 60% compared to previous years. He didn't realize the importance of this passage.

"Build a military fortress here overlooking the Uono River? At the same time, it is also an important outpost for the march into Ueno? Wait a minute. Is there still a layout for Uonuma-gun in advance? Kira Yoshitoki was entangled: "But this place is only ten miles away from Sakado Castle. It's easy to be jealous of the Nagao family, right? ”

It was no wonder that he was worried, Sakado Castle was the residence of the Ueda Nagao family, only twenty kilometers away from Mt. Iishi in the northeast of the Yuzawa Imperial Palace, and it also happened to be in the north-northeast direction, and that mountain castle was located on Mt. Sakado, which happened to overlook the Uono River at the foot of the mountain, and its military role far exceeded that of his valley.

Yamamoto said confidently, "Please rest assured, Lord Ran!" Nagao Echizen Shouden definitely won't mind. ”

"I don't mind!" He didn't dare to say this, he was afraid that the one-eyed old man would be mad.

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed. From the beginning of summer to the middle of summer, the July flow fire is not suitable for Echigo, because the cool sea breeze from the Sea of Japan blows through the Echigo Plains and blows the high mountains, and the sassy summer breeze carries the moisture from the sea and blows on the body of the people, and the highest temperature of the year is only 256 degrees, which is simply a summer resort.

After a joint consultation with a number of doctors, it was determined that Kira had completely recovered, and there was no problem with any sequelae, so he soaked in the rotten egg hot spring for three and a half months, and the bones in his body were about to be softened. So much so that he was a little sick to his stomach when he saw the eggs.

"Your Highness has finally recovered!" Tiger Ji pounced in surprise.

"Your Highness has finally recovered!" This is a stupid Lori who follows as a repeater.。

"Your Highness has finally recovered! Would you like to try Aju's grilled chicken wings? ”

This sentence made Ji Liang Yoshishi's eyes watery in his eyes, and he secretly said that Ah Ju was intimate. Before he could stretch out his hand, he was picked up by two Lori who were pestering him and stuffed it into his mouth, and Chiyo Mochizuki said while eating: "Sister Aju's craftsmanship is really amazing!" Grilled chicken wings are so delicious! ”

"Yes! Not only can I bake all kinds of delicious pastries, but I can also grill chicken, duck and fish, which is amazing! Tiger Ji will learn it in the future! ”

Seeing Ji Liangyi's wrecked face, Hu Ji handed over the half-gnawed chicken wings with some reluctance and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to taste it?" ”

"Uh...... I'm not hungry! Eat it! Holding his shriveled stomach and deciding, Kira decided to be a good man in front of the girl.

"Oops! Isn't Your Highness hungry? Ah Ju said with some disappointment: "What about grilled chicken and grilled chicken thighs?" ”

"Can't eat? There's me! Saito Asanobu came out of nowhere, grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth with lightning speed, and ate a whole fat chicken leg without two or three bites, Kira Yoshishi's face changed, and he hurriedly grabbed the last one, but his reaction was still half a beat slower, and the fat big chicken leg was stuffed into his mouth by this shameless guy.

Kira Yoshitoki was furious, and pointed at the shameless man who robbed him of his food and scolded: "Bastard! You dare to grab something to eat with me! Chrysanthemum! Don't pay attention to him in the future! ”

"Don't!" Some shameless guy let out a scream.

After two months of construction, the infrastructure of this military fortress was completed, and the rest of the tinkering area could be done slowly, and after inspecting the newly built military facilities, Kira Yoshitoki moved to the training ground.

"The Pavilion Master has recovered!" Yamaoka excitedly grabbed the samurai next to him and hugged him.

"The Pavilion Master has recovered!" Takigawa Tokiyoshi also pulled the island left and hugged him together.

"Stop! Don't be so basic, okay? "It's really a headache to say, this group of guys with excess hormones like to use their fists to solve personal grievances at every turn, of course, these grievances may be that I don't like you or you don't like it or something, another not very good tendency, that is, this group of strong guys can't vent their energy every day, so they always want their companions to pick up soap.

"Soap is such a good thing! Animal fat and plant ash are mixed together to clean the body, remove dirt, and occasionally something strange can happen when it falls to the ground...... Wait, what was I talking about again? Yamaoka paused for a long time, and hurriedly pushed his little friend away to check if there were any strange changes in his body.

"Your Excellency has finally recovered! Then please continue to be trained by me! Hans, speaking in half-baked English, said congratulations without a smile, and then, without giving the owner any face, motioned with his eyes for him to enter the ranks for the daily basic training.

"What a monster!" In the face of the huge deterrent power of this perverted Teutonic knight, Kira Yoshitoki, who was a famous shogunate general, had no advantage at all, so he could only mutter a few words and obediently follow a group of guys to huddle together and line up.

"Now we're going to do a new sport, which is jumping rope, you guys jump with me, remember that everyone has to do a thousand jumps! From now on! The rope made of cow tendon suddenly flew up, but fortunately he was basic in this sport, compared to the unlucky guy who was clumsy and always couldn't find the rhythm of the air, Kira Yoshitoki was always able to complete every jump easily and quickly, and even mastered the skill of how to complete a leather rope rotation with a smaller aerial movement.

When he was the first to complete the jump rope 1,000 times, the fastest Hans only jumped 700 times, because of his excellent performance, he was also called by Hans to the front to take everyone to learn to jump rope.

"Your Excellency's rope skipping skills are superb, after jogging two miles every morning, Your Excellency will take everyone to practice skipping rope, just jump two thousand times first, and continue to increase in the future!"

“…… Can I say no? ”

"Refuse?" With an eyebrow raised, Hans smiled devilishly and burst out a few words: "I don't think you can't!" ”

At the beginning of August, a piece of bad news broke the quiet atmosphere in the Yuzawa Valley when a serious military conflict broke out between Okuma Bizen Mamoru Asahide and Shoda Sozaemon Joshino, who defeated Okuma Asahide's forces at the behest of Honjo Minori, invaded his territory as a military deterrent, and attempted to further attack Keiguan Castle.

The big bear Chaoxiu, who was like a frightened bird, saw that the situation was not good, so he simply left the Keiguan City, and took the relatives and the main city of Torisaka Castle to flee in the direction of Yuezhong with the army, preparing to use the natural danger that the relatives did not know to intercept the pursuers, and at the same time, they could also take refuge in the old enemy of the Nagao family, the Yuezhong Shenbao family.

But before his army had time to escape, he was defeated by the Honjo army that came later, and even the two younger brothers of the Great Bear Chaoxiu, Sheng Xiu and Chonglian, were also caught, and finally the Great Bear Chaoxiu was spared with only his own family, and ran all the way to Echichu with Cheng Zhengzi to hide.

Then Nagao Keitora summoned Honjo Minori over and was furious, he was extremely disgusted by his master's self-asserted behavior, and what disgusted him even more was that this operation turned out to be a plan concocted by the Nagao faction, the Echigo Uesugi faction, and the Ueda people, in order to completely eliminate the Great Bear Ashide.

That is to say, Usami Dingman, Heiko Fangmasa, Chisaka Keiko and others did not hesitate to sell their leaders, and this kind of treacherous behavior was disgusted by Nagao Jinghu, and of course, they also hated these retainers who took the initiative to move closer to Nagao's family.

But then Honjo Minoru came up with a strong piece of evidence, completely breaking the good mentality of Nagao Jinghu, that is, the correspondence between the Takeda family's Komai Masatake and the big bear Ashide, in just a few months, the two exchanged more than a dozen letters, and Komai Masatake even hinted in the letter that there were other people who were also receiving funding from the Takeda family, and would soon cooperate with him to pull up the anti-flag, which made Nagao Keihu almost faint.

The evidence is ironclad, and the fact that Okuma Ashide's betrayal of the Nagao family cannot be refuted, so under the operation of Honjo Mino, all the territories of Okuma Ashide's territory were confiscated, and the lord of Keiguan Castle was replaced by Nagao Kanshiro Jingqin, who was born in the Kura Hall Nagao family, and his ability is not bad, and he belongs to the kind of samurai who is not famous, but he is low-key and pragmatic and loyal enough.

This choice was obviously enough to reassure the angry Nagao Jinghu a little, and at the same time, it was also Honjo's efforts to dissolve the gap between master and apprentice, showing with his actions that he had no intention of knowing the land, just an expedient measure to defeat his political enemies, even if Nagao Jinghu was unhappy, there was nothing to do.

It seems that the storm of a rebellion has passed, but those who have a heart have clearly felt that a huge storm hidden in the country of Echigo is quietly brewing, and no one can say what kind of changes it will bring, and everything is moving in an unknown direction. (To be continued......)
