A New Year's banquet is over, and the result of the results makes a few families happy and a few sad, and the people of Echigo and Shinano are forced to accept all this whether they want it or not, and the Kuyoba of the Nagao family will gradually be replaced by Ashikaga Nichibi, all of which is going on inadvertently, this is not the end, this is just the beginning.

The New Year's banquet is not a day, but a large banquet in different forms for several days in a row, and the samurai of the Nagao family seize this rare opportunity to gather together for a feast, and as for the topic of exchange, it is natural to revolve around the decision of the lord, and soon these Nagao retainers more or less expressed their closeness to Kira Yoshitoki and Nagao Toraki, which is not too difficult to understand for the people of the country who know how to survive.

Although he is still called the Warrior Guard, some samurai have already claimed to be retainers of the Kira family, such as Hojo Takahiro, Kurokawa Kiyomi, and Honjo Shigenaga, who came to the castle tower today, and they were separated from the Nagao retainers because of punishment, and they didn't have a chance to express other opinions.

"Is Kurokawa Shimono Moriden in seclusion? What a pity! ”

Kurokawa Morimi's son, Kurokawa Bizen Shouqing Gong respectfully leaned over and replied: "My father is nearly sixty years old, and it's time to retire!" This time the mistaken belief in the conspiracy of the Takeda family was a big mistake, and my father was deeply sorry for this, so he decided to retire. ”

Kurokawa Kiyomi is a samurai in his early thirties, not tall but very stocky, it is said that he has excellent spear skills and riding skills, this time he took the lead in the battle of Honjo Castle and rushed to the front to fight with the Nakajo family, and also killed the three famous samurai of the Nakajo family, but unfortunately the partial victory could not save the defeat.

"Well, then Qing Mi has already figured it out?"

Kurokawa Kiyomi leaned over again, and his tone was very resolute: "Think clearly!" His majesty is willing to become a retainer of the Ashikaga family. I, the samurai of the Kurokawa family, would also like to become a samurai of the Kira family! ”

Hojo Takahiro also immediately fell to the ground. Emotionally shouted: "I, Gao Guang, am also willing to become a retainer of the Kamiki Ashikaga family." In order to revitalize the Dajiang family, I Gaoguang is willing to do anything! ”

"You ......" Honjo was both shocked and angry in the face of the statement of the two colleague accomplices, surprised that these two people bowed their heads so resolutely, and did not hesitate to sell their own foundation for this reason, and angry that these two people chose to go it alone despite his opposition, which made him how to do it.

"Your intentions, my family understands!" Kira Yoshitoki pondered for a moment. Make a choice about the performance of these two people: "From today on, the Miura Kurokawa clan and the Maori Hojo clan are my direct ministers of the Ashikaga family, and the retainers of the Er family have become the flag of my Kira family, and the appointment of Kurokawa Bizen Shou Qing Mi, Hojo Tango Shou Gao Guang as the general of the service, the annual Yongle money is 500 yuan, and the welfare treatment can be consulted by the official of the family as an answer, and the flag samurai calculates the annual salary according to the original stone high, but there is no violation of the law, and the heir is passed down from generation to generation for the family!" ”

"I've been waiting for the grace of the Pavilion Master!" The two bowed down again, this time the two were even more excited, and the two rebel generals could also open the generals. Yongle Qian's annual salary of 500 yuan was completely unexpected by the two. Almost all the people of Echigo know how coveted the Kira family is, and the people of the country with 7,000 koku may not have a good life with 500 generals.

And what the two of them paid was only to give away their own 1,000 stone territory after being reduced, not to mention the 1,000 stone territory that they can't afford to support their retainers now, even if they gave more than 10,000 stone territory before, it was not a loss, the only loss may be freedom and military power, in the past, he would definitely not agree to this kind of seemingly non-losing business, but now they don't have that capital, and they all know that they have rebelled after a month, who will give them a chance to earn back the reduced territory a little bit? Obviously this is not possible.

"I'm prospering...... Longevity...... Become a retainer of the Kamiashikaga family......"

"It doesn't matter if you feel reluctant, the family can understand it, and the family will definitely not mind!" Kira Yoshitomi made a gesture, meaning that if you find it difficult, you don't have to do it.

“…… I don't mind if there are ghosts! Honjo muttered vaguely, and this time when he leaned over again, he said much smoother: "My Honjo family is willing to be a retainer of the Ashikaga family, the Chichibu family can't be destroyed in my Fanchang's hands, and the subordinates can't be sinners!" ”

Kira Yoshitoki stared carefully at Honjo's long eyes, and found that his eyes were clear and bright, as if he had figured it out, so he nodded in agreement with his statement: "Hmm...... It's quite sincere! It's just that you almost hurt your family and Tiger Ji last time, what should you say? ”

"This ......" Honjo's long face flashed with shame and annoyance, and he could only bow his head: "This is the fault of his subordinates!" But there is a punishment, but I am going to be next! ”

"Alright, alright! This family is not a stingy person! I'm kidding you! Your treatment is like Qing Palace, Gao Guang, the family also gives you the rank of a general, the annual Yongle money is 500 guanwen, and the retainers are the banner warriors of the family, you can rest assured! Kira Yoshitoki walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "As the only seedling of this banker, you are also fifteen years old this year, right?" ”

"Yes! His Majesty Tianwen is eight years old, and this year is exactly ......"

"That's good! It's time for you to set up a family affair! It's not good to always be alone, but you have to pass on the family for your own family, right? Hehehe! Kira Yoshitoki glanced at Hojo Takahiro and Kurokawa Kiyomi with his eyes, and the latter immediately agreed: "Yes! Echizen Hall is young and promising, and I have added a new general to the Ashikaga family, so I should set a family affair to take care of! ”

"......" Honjo's long face turned green, and finally he gritted his teeth and nodded after holding back for a long time, and when he looked at Kira Yoshishi pitifully, it seemed to say: "I'm your retainer, you can weigh it!" ”

"Of course! You can't afford to be too long, can you? So the family thinks that Tiger Ji's personal maid Ah Xu is good, and her background is also clear to everyone, the widow of the three long tail families, when the elder brother took pity on her alone, it was too pitiful, so he arranged her to be a maid to Tiger Ji, and her background is not bad at all, the family is the main singer and asks the brother to accept Ah Xu as a child, and how about marrying you to be the main room after teaching in the spring mountain castle for two years? ”

"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!" Ji Liang Yoshishi was the media, and Nagao Jinghu was accepted as a child, and he couldn't help but say that he couldn't help but say it, Nagao Axu had upright facial features, smart and cute, which he had also seen, so he had no objection to the selection of Honjo Fanchang.

The news of the three well-known Samurai of Echigo to serve the Kira family spread quickly, and it happened to be just in time for the Spring Festival, the samurai of Echigo and Kita-Shinano got together to discuss this matter, and many samurai heard that the super treatment of the Kira family was red, and some people began to beat their chests and regret why they didn't expect this stubble, if he could also get 500 Guan Wen Nian, even if it was money, he was willing.

Of course, his statement was immediately mercilessly ridiculed by his companions, and this group of medium-sized wealthy clans with only a few hundred stone territory didn't have to think about it if they wanted to get this treatment.

Since such a high treatment was given to the three Echigo tuba countrymen, the retainers of the Kira family also had to mention the annual salary, Yamamoto Tokiyuki mentioned the old age of the family generation, and the task was still to assist in the internal affairs of the family, and the annual salary was increased to 1000 Yongle Qian Guanwen, and the original reserve team was a light general, and the executive officer who was equivalent to the general was also promoted to the general of the general, and the annual salary was 500 Guanwen.

The big head soldier who took the support rice jumped to the head of the ashigaru group, which is the lowest samurai class, you can imagine how happy they are, in addition to this, they can also get 20 kan ryo, as for the original head of the group, they are also promoted to the new head, and 20 kan rako also becomes 50 kan.

The low-level head mentions the rank of each reserve ashigaru general, and 50 guan Yulu mentions 150 generals, which is from a low-level samurai to the ranks of intermediate samurai, and there are also ashigaru generals who are promoted to reserve generals, such as Watanabe Takatsuna, Naito Masasari led five hundred elites, and the annual salary of the reserve general is 300 kanwen, which is equivalent to the top level of the intermediate samurai.

The reserve general was promoted to the general of the service, 300 guan was increased to 500 guan, officially entered the ranks of senior samurai, the income was doubled, the treatment was improved, each samurai became richer, and there were more and more samurai wearing silk clothes, and there was nothing to be satisfied with, of course, this big promotion should make the Kira family increase the expenditure of 5000 guan Yongle money, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss.

Not to mention how red the Echigo people were, the same rebel general became a prisoner, the other two people were not so happy, the first responded to the Takeda family to launch a rebellion and failed to escape, and the second time again responded to Takeda's invasion of Echigo, the two of the big bear Asahide and Jomasako, have been imprisoned in the Kasuga Mountain Castle dungeon for more than three months.

During this period, there was neither interrogation nor disposal, I don't know where my family is now, and I don't know what the fate of the future is, so I spent three long months hiding in a dark dungeon, and what is worse is that the two were separated and not connected, living relatively independent of each other in a small space, loneliness and loneliness are like terrible poisonous insects, eroding their sanity all the time.

From the resolute silence at the beginning to prepare for confrontation, to the vicious insults and curses that followed, and then to the bitter begging and screaming, the jailer was still the deaf and dumb old man, bringing them food and water and changing the toilet at regular intervals, neither hearing what they were saying or expressing any opinion.

Day after day, month after month, and in the last half a month, the two of them even showed some signs of confusion, when suddenly someone came in and threw the two dirty and smelly prisoners into the hot water to wash them several times, and the skin stabbed by the hot hot water was hot and painful, and the extreme stimulation awakened the gradually sinking mind, and I watched a few strange warriors with hateful faces as if they were washing something, and took thick brushes and soap to brush them away.

In the end, all their hair was shaved off, and their teeth were brushed several times with green salt and wild boar hair brushes, and it took an hour to change them into a pair, and then they realized that their hands and feet were weak, and they saw the light of day again, and there was a feeling of being in a different world.

"Peace and tranquility are so precious!" (To be continued......)
