"Today, at the moment when Takeda broke out of Uraise and stabbed him, Honjo Echizen Shoufen saved his family regardless of his body, and then worked together to destroy the assassin of Topo, which was even loyal to the festival, and at that time he went out to sweep a sweep, and captured the prisoner to be pleased with the loyalty order, and it was still the same, the second year of Koji, March 30, Kira Yoshitoki (Hanagashi) Honjo Echizen Shou......"

Honjo was stunned for a whole morning with a thin feeling in his hand, and in the afternoon he held it to show off when he met people, and the envious eyes of the genealogies of the Kira family were red like rabbit eyes, they fought for the Kira family for many years, and they fought many times in large and small battles, and finally did not get a letter of feeling, this Echigo native boy caught what they had worked hard for many years and did not catch, it is absolutely impossible not to be red-eyed.

Hojo Takahiro said with a slight sourness: "You kid is so lucky, why don't I Gao Guang have this luck?" One flutter in exchange for feelings, what a blessing from the third generation! ”

"Didn't you look at those high-spirited generations to see our expressions change? Just because this is the first feeling from the lord! Kurokawa Kiyomi stared at Honjo with a lot of taste: "Chiyo Inomaru is famous!" The famous sword village rain that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Kanto Gongfang, the ape music compiled by the lord and the lord of Numata Uenosukeden, and the first feeling of this unprecedented letter! ”

Honjo said triumphantly, "What do they envy? What's the use of fighting feats in war! I'm a big man! ”

"Shh Hojo Takahiro observed that no one was paying attention around him, and reminded in a low voice: "You kid don't say a few words!" I wonder how many people are staring at you? The lord is not proud of your generous reward, be careful and be happy! ”

"Oh! I understand! I'm going to go back and put the feeling away, no! It is framing storing! Hey, hey, hey! Honjo ran away with a cigarette in his hand.

"This kid ......" Hojo Takahiro said to Kurokawa Kiyomi with a smile, "Let's go sit in an azaku?" ”

"That's what I mean!"

……

Meanwhile. Kira Yoshitoki was carrying a thousand red cavalry. Two hundred horses and three hundred new horses came to the outside of the castle.

This fortress on an island in the middle of a lake has an excellent geographical advantage. It has become one of the famous fortresses in the Sino-Vietnamese region that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and everyone originally thought that this time Usami Dingman would definitely hold on for a few months before submitting, but he never thought that as soon as the cavalry corps of Kira Yoshishi arrived, the city gate would be opened to welcome him to enter.

Usami Dingman led a family and a retainer to greet him in person, and Biwajima Castle had no intention of guarding against it, as if it was a joke, he opened the big door, so that the general Yamaoka couldn't help but mutter: "This doesn't seem to be good!" Could it be that the Hongmen banquet failed? Don't let the owner take the risk! ”

Kira Yoshitoki frowned and looked at Usami Dingman bowing to the ground, and said respectfully: "Usami Dingman welcomes the town palace!" The town hall can come to the remote place of my Biwa Island. Let my Usami clan shine! Please enter the city! ”

Dozens of samurai shouted in unison: "Please enter the city!" ”

Kira Yoshitoki stood motionless on his horse, deaf to the shouts of the Usamiya samurai, and instead frowned and thought, "General Zhenshoufu! It's the first person to mention this official of the family! What is this Usami Dingman? ”

The Genealogy of the Kira family has always been secretive about the official position of the shogun of the town guard, and the Echigo samurai are also happy to pretend to be stupid, and many people have guessed some ideas as soon as this official comes out, and they are also a little more frightened and worried about this Ashikaga family governor.

The significance of the general of the town guard house itself is extremely significant, the first in two hundred years, and the first general of the town guard house since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the only "general" title in the imperial court except for the general of Zhengyi. What exactly is he going to do? What will be done? No one knows, but it is certain that there will be a big move.

Seeing that he did not move for a long time. Usami Dingman said with a slight mockery: "Is the town palace afraid of ambushing the dead in the city? ”

Kira Yoshitoki caught a glimpse of the mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly, "Does Usami Suruga Mamoru dare to do this?" ”

"Don't dare!" Usami Dingmitsu quickly glanced at the Akabei cavalry, and the murderous Takigawa Tokiyoshi stood beside Kira Yoshitoki with a gun in his hand, and he could cut off his head with just one assault, so he obediently lowered his head to show obedience.

Kira Yoshishi sneered, and suddenly shouted: "Chibei listens to the order!" Enter the city now! ”

"Enter the city!"

"Guard everyone!"

"Those who dare to use knives and guns will be killed!"

Under the two flags of Ashikaga Nichi, the loud shouts of the thunder shook one after another, and the bloody warriors with the Ashikaga white flag moved violently, and in the rumbling vibration, a group of red cavalry galloped past the samurai of the Usami family, and the smoke and dust and strong wind blew them to the back and forth, and the samurai present were all shocked and colorless.

"Is this Kira Akabi! It's really the first strongest army in the world! ”

"I heard that their feet were dyed red with human blood! The general Akabi standing next to the town hall is called Onitaki River, and he is a fierce general who captures Naito Sokatsu alive and kills the horned tigers! ”

"I've also caught Hojo Takahiro and Honjo Fanchang!"

In the face of the arrogant and domineering Red Reserve cavalry speeding by, Usami Dingmitsu always hung his head for Zeng to move, at this moment he finally realized the domineering power of power, that is not a terrible force that can be compared to intrigue and trickery, the invincible army made of steel and blood has a terrifying terrifying power, for the first time in his life, he has doubts about his life.

"Does it really make sense for me to do this? is like a praying mantis under a big car, will it end up being crushed to death after all? It's really frustrating! Usami shook his head in disappointment, any conspiracy would be reduced to ashes by overbearing force, and he seemed to understand that he had been too much wrong.

Kira Yoshitoki put away the bat fan and said proudly, "Suruga, you can go in!" ”

"Yes! Hold the reins for His Highness below! Usami was a handful of old but strong bones, and jumped up like a spring, and walked over to him to lead him with a bridle and walked into the city, and his attitude changed much faster than many people expected.

Takigawa Tokiyi smiled contemptuously and glanced at Yamaoka. The samurai of the Kira clan looked down on this chameleon-like samurai. Those samurai who stubbornly resisted the Kira clan were eventually hanged. But everyone still gives some face, and the chameleons who love to cut and apostatize are different, even if they surrender to the Kira family, they will be discriminated against.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Biwa Island Castle was controlled by the Akabi cavalry of the Kira family, who were equipped with cavalry spears, hammer staffs, and scimitars, and the five hundred horse-back samurai were also equipped with strong bows and cast iron feathered arrows. This riding skill and coordination are even more terrifying.

Coming to the large wide room in the city of Biwa Island, Usami Dingman invited Kira Yoshitoki to the main seat, and said with a smile: "Everyone says that the red cavalry of the Ashikaga family is unparalleled in the world, and I didn't believe it at the beginning, but now I see that the god horse is abnormal, and there is no one who can compare with Echigo!" ”

"Suruga! You ought to know why your family came from, and you ought to know how angry your brother was. Kira Yoshitoki sneered, and the Kira family samurai in the Ohiroma also laughed with a hum.

Usami's expression changed, from happy to bitter, and finally sighed: "It's a last resort!" Abandoned by his former allies, he was disgusted by his colleagues in Echigo. The ideals I had fought for were in vain, and my goal in life seemed like a huge mistake. Therefore, when the envoy of the Takeda family came to the door, I decided to raise the flag of rebellion without hesitation! ”

Kira Yoshitoki picked up the bat fan and shook it gently, as if thinking about a serious question, and after a while, he suddenly said, "That's how you rebelled? Go out of the city to greet each other, do not resist the family's control of Biwa Island City, and then sit across the house and talk eloquently? ”

"Yes! Before I think that this is the only way to talk about all issues openly with the Zhenfu Palace, before that, I must be full of people who want to find out a question, what is the reason for the Zhenfu Palace's repeated refusal to wait for us? ”

Usami Joman's confession was much beyond his expectations, and he thought that this Usami Joman would have to prepare for some action, but when he came to the outside of Biwa Island Castle, he found that there was no movement in the castle, and the townspeople lived as usual, and the farmers were also busy weeding and killing insects in Nitta.

The fact that the townspeople and farmers near Biwajima Castle were so stable showed that the so-called rebellion was only superficial, and even only sent messengers to deliver the news of the rebellion, without any intention of actually rebelling. ”

"Because the portion under is insufficient? Wrong! Is it because we have land and know that we don't meet the requirements of the town palace? It seems that there is such an element......" Usami thought as he stared at Yoshitoki's flat expression.

Nearly seventy years old but with such a strong body and bones, in this era of lack of medical treatment, I have to say that it is a small miracle, probably because of this, the old man who should have retired under normal circumstances is still an old man with an old heart, and he can continue to fight for twenty years.

"Is it because the town palace never intended to include us as retainers? But that's not right! Isn't it inevitable to expand the territory of the family business with the ambition of the town palace? Kita-Shinano controls nearly half of the territory quietly, and this means is also something to boast about in whose hands! Why? "Usami is not young, but his brain is very fast, and he has made more than a dozen ideas in the tea, and he was finally classified and excluded one by one.

"It's not easy to think of this step, but if you want to find out the thoughts of your family, the old man is still a little worse." Kira Yoshishi had some new views on this old man, and said indifferently: "Let's just say it directly!" Echigo's long-tail retainers' group, the family didn't want to move, otherwise would you still be used? In three months, the family can break up the long-tail retainers, and all of them will be under the banner of the family within half a year, but why doesn't the family do this? If you think about it, you'll understand! ”

He has encountered this kind of similar problem many times, both internally and externally, and Kira Yoshitoki is unwilling to take away the foundation of the Nagao family directly, but instead uses the way of inheriting the Echigo country after the birth of his eldest son as a buffer, which is already the biggest he can do

"Is that really the case? The town hall has never thought of accepting me and others......" Usami shook his head in disappointment, with his wisdom, of course, he knew that all his scheming was in vain.

Thinking of the right and wrong that has been jumping up and down in the past few years, it is just to reuse and increase the seal of knowledge and practice in order to serve the new mastermind. In the end, I still got nothing. The old samurai actually howled and cried.

This sudden cry disrupted his original plans. Kira Yoshitoki angrily asked, "Is Suruga going to make a show for the family?" My family respects you as an elder, but I don't want you to play tricks, it's best to put away your careful thoughts! ”

"It's just a moment of sadness and I can't stop crying!" Usami Dingman really stopped crying, so that Takigawa Shiyi on the side turned from surprise to disdain, and then glanced at the eldest son Usami Dingsheng, who was inactive, and said secretly: "No wonder this old man can even cry and act, it's really the reason why his son is too wasteful, right?" ”

Usami has two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son, Usami Minbu Shaocheng Dingkatsu, is twenty-five or sixteen years old. It's just an ordinary samurai who can't write a martial arts.,Until now, I haven't married the main room.,It's really not very good.,The second son, Usami Sajiro Katsuyuki, is only in his early twenties.,His eyes roll around and seem to have a lot of ideas.。

But this person's reputation is very bad.,I don't know much about the military strategy of Usami's family.,But it's infected with the bad habit of sleeping in the prodigal town.,Usami's family's already not thick family background can withstand the toss of this loser.,If it weren't for the bitter pleading of his wife.,Usami would have wanted to get rid of this bastard son a long time ago.。

The only daughter married Chisaka Kei a few years ago to strengthen her kinship. Ben was hoping to find a reliable ally within the Echigo Uesugi faction, but this son-in-law did not give him the face of his father-in-law at all. On the contrary, the relationship with the Usami family is more estranged, and this time he sold his father-in-law without hesitation, but the relationship with Heiko Fangzheng became closer and closer, and he almost didn't make the old man angry.

It didn't take long for the old man to start crying again: "The family is difficult! In the next year over forty to marry a wife and have children, now old and incapable of finding a share of the inheritance of the descendants of the foundation, two dogs and not a weapon, think about these years in the next year to do so many things but nothing, it is really painful! ”

I really couldn't stand the old man's crying, Kira Yoshishi knocked on the case a little irritably, and said with a serious face: "The Suruga family also knows a little about the situation, the reason why Suruga is so painful is that he is too eager for quick success and misses the opportunity, and the person who can't recognize himself will never be able to become strong, as a retainer of the Nagao family, he should be fair and law-abiding, and it's stupid to always think about jumping up and down to attract attention." ”

"I understand...... "When Usami Jomitsu seemed to realize that it was time to explain, he decisively stopped crying and sat down.

Coughing lightly, he said slowly in an authentic Kyoto accent: "The family has a general understanding of the causes and general situation of the Suruga rebellion, the so-called rebellion is purely a farce, but the bad impact caused is irreparable, so the family has made the following punishment decision: The Usami clan is located on Biwa Island and is transferred to the 110 town of Yashiro Castle in Kawanaka Island, effective from now on, and must be completed within a month, and the Biwa Island territory will be taken over by Nagao Yashiro Keitsu. ”

"Why are you going to downblock us? Still want to be resealed? Why! Usami Katsuyuki suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Kira Yoshitoki, and before he could run a few steps, he was kicked by the highly alert Takigawa Tokiyoshi, and the whole person flew upside down two or three meters, and fell to the door of Ohiroma and wailed in pain.

"Jiro!" Usami Dingsheng hurriedly ran over to help up the injured younger brother, this powerful kick just kicked the lower abdomen, with the height of Takigawa Keijiro 1.8 meters, the kick was only 1.55 meters of the little man, it was terrible to think about, this tenacious guy stood up in pain with his stomach in his arms, and seemed to want to rush over.

"Jiro, that's enough! Get out of here for the old man! Get out now! Usami scolded his second son angrily and rolled out of Ohiroma, because he had already sensed that Kira Yoshitoki's face immediately became gloomy when his second son rushed over.

"Suruga get ready!" Kira Yoshitoki obviously had no desire to continue talking, so he got up and left after a few hasty explanations.

Usami Dingman hurriedly followed out of the Ohiroma, and asked earnestly: "May I ask the town hall, I don't know if I can participate in Shinano's actions, but I really want to cooperate with the town hall!" After all, there is still some use in the military science below, please be considerate of the mood of an old samurai! ”

"Isn't Suruga going to make meritorious contributions?" Kira Yoshitoki stopped, turned back to Usami Dingmitsu and said, "The purpose of this family's transfer of the Usami family there is to give Suruga a chance to make meritorious contributions, and it is up to you whether you can grasp it or not." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Zhenfu Palace! Thanks a lot! Usami leaned down and bowed, watching Kira Yoshitoki and his group gradually move away.

Looking at the gradually disappearing figure, his father was still stunned and kneeling down and looking into the distance, Usami Dingkatsu said indignantly: "Father! Why don't you feel heartache at all about the reduction and resealing? Biwa Island is a territory that my Usami family has worked hard for generations! ”

"Ignorance!" Usami came back to his senses, slowly straightened his waist and stood up, glanced at his eldest son coldly, and snorted: "Shengxing must be watched, let me hear that he went out to wander, don't go back to this home!" This time, the town hall is magnanimous and doesn't care, it's already unexpectedly merciful, and my Usami family can't afford to gamble next time, do you understand? ”

Usami was about to leave with a step, but his eldest son hurriedly stood up and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Father! You haven't answered my question yet! Why do we have to bear this kind of condemnation? My Usami family didn't rebel at all, so why should I reduce the seal and transfer the ......"

"Shut up!"

"Father!" Usami was stunned by a loud roar.

"Use your brains more, think about why the old man is jumping up and down! In the future, you will not run to your brother-in-law's house...... The old man forgot about it, and he was about to transfer the letter! The more Usami Dingman looked at his stupid son, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but scold: "Your useless brother-in-law doesn't have this look, and he can only be a police officer in his own army with the lord, and he has no military merits in his life, and he doesn't know if he thinks about the old man?" I still want to get close to the lord and climb up, how high can he climb? Saito Asanobu is so high? Or is Honjo really that tall? I think he's daydreaming too much, wishful thinking! ”

"Father, how do you know?" Usami Dingsheng involuntarily took two steps back, he always thought that it was a very secret thing to sneak in with his brother-in-law Chisaka Kei, but he was drunk by Usami Ding, and the embarrassment and fear made him more and more afraid to look at this old man.

"It's not a thing! Why did the old man give birth to you two unsuccessful children! What an angry old man! Usami flicked his sleeves and turned around angrily and left.

Usami hesitated for a moment, but still felt that it was more important to figure out the reduction of his own seal, so he persevered in chasing after him and shouted, "Father, you haven't answered the question yet!" ”

"You! Ay! Usami Dingman seemed to have no tricks, so he could only sigh and say, "Stupid! How did Land Zhixing come about? Without merit, my Usami family will be marginalized sooner or later, don't you blush at the territory of the Kakizaki Keijia with more than 400 steps? The reduction of the seal of my Usami family was expected by the old man, but he never thought about it when he turned to the middle island of Kawanakajima, and it can be seen that the Wuwei Palace still has the intention to use my Usami family, otherwise what do you think the family has to resist? Even if it is easy to remove the seal, how can we resist? ”

"Cage City ......"

"You know Cage Castle, are you Cage Castle better than Hojo Castle? Is the military slightly higher than that of Hojo? Is the military strength and strength ratio past the Hojo Maori family? We can't compare! Hojo Takahiro has been forced to surrender, how can we cage the city? Usami saddened how she was so unlucky and had two sons, one stupider than the other.

"Then why do we rebel?" Usami felt even more confused.

"Hojo Takahiro can go from rebellion to surrender and become a direct minister of the Kira family, why can't I, the Usami family? The old man doesn't have the capital of the Hojo family, but as long as he invites the town hall or the lord to Biwa Island Castle, he will be sure to achieve his goal! If the town palace comes in person, it is inevitable that some land will be reduced as a punishment.

But with the temperament of the town palace, I will definitely not lose my Usami family in vain, the old man has been operating in China and Vietnam for decades, and the relationship network is intricate and deep-rooted, which is not a joke! If the lord came over, he didn't even get rid of the seal, but the follow-up strategy couldn't work, and the old man was looking at the ambition of the town palace, not the lord's conformism and self-worth! ”

"What does it mean to be self-worthy?"

"Probably, it should be...... That's what happened...... "Usami Ding scolded angrily: "This is a new word invented by the town palace, you ask the old man, who does the old man ask?" (To be continued......)
