Chapter 15: Non-mainstream thinking
"Oh? Are you so confident that you can expose him? Kira Manmatsumu snickered, and couldn't help but feel pity for Yamaoka Zenjiro, thinking that the brain melon and Honda Masanobu would not be too cruel, so he kindly reminded: "Don't underestimate others, Yahachiro's advantage is smart, your advantage is the way of the bow horse, you two are destined to take different paths, Zenjiro, you still have a good relationship with him!" ”
"Your Majesty, as a leader close to him, will you still be afraid of him as a child! So I'm going to make Yahachiro obey no matter what! Yamaoka Zenjiro confidently announced his submission plan, of course, this plan is really full of loopholes and miserable, which makes Kira Manmatsumari sigh and admire the stupid head.
"Okay, since you guy doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, then let you suffer a little first!" Kira Manmatsumu sent this fool away, and before he left, he told Yamaoka Zenjiro that Honda Yahachiro had the right to go out of the school hall to borrow books in the future, which immediately hit Yamaoka Zenjiro, and the master of the heart hall was biased, and he lowered his head with a sad face.
"I seem to be the one who fanned the flames again!" Kira Manmatsumu felt that he was doing a good job, although Yamaoka Zenjiro was a confidant of the kinship, but Honda Yahachiro obviously had more potential, and Dou Yito seemed to be good.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and in late July, because the autumn harvest is imminent, the family genealogy generations, including Okochi Nobusada, are busy returning to their respective territories to supervise the autumn harvest and pay the annual payment, so Kira Manmatsumaru seems very comfortable, and the autumn harvest of the Kira family naturally does not have to worry about him, and Yamamoto Kansuke, who also has no Zhixing collar, continues to be a direct minister of the Kira family with a high salary of 500 Kanbun.
Without Okochi Nobusada's humming preaching, his life was very comfortable, he looked at writing and writing every day, practiced the art of war or something, and promised Yamamoto Kansuke that he had already been thrown out of the clouds, what Imagawa family, training or something is too far, or peace of mind to be a little lord and feel more comfortable.
"Your Excellency!" Yamaoka Zenjiro ran to the castle tower again and told the bitterness of the recent days with a bitter face, Kira Manmatsumaru would not break his good mood just to listen to him pour bitter water, anyway, he was talking about how Yahachiro got along with the little surnames, or how Yahachiro used the name of the owner of the hall to hype it up, "He is upset with other small surnames, and how I treat the little surname ......" and other boring topics.
"Speaking of which, you're not as good as a kid three years younger than yourself, isn't it a shame!" Kira Manmatsumu said with a grin.
"How can you say that about me, Lord Pavilion! I'm all for you, the owner! Yamaoka Zenjiro was sad and angry, he felt that the owner of the pavilion did not understand him at all, obviously he disciplined dozens of children very hard, but he was said by the owner of the pavilion that his skills were not as good as others, which is really sad!
"Alright, alright! Don't shout, let the little surnames know that Zenjiro came to his house to complain, and he will definitely be regarded as an incompetent person admitting defeat, right? ”
"Ahh Damn Yahachiro! I, Zenjiro, will never admit defeat...... But Yahachiro is too cunning! There is no spirit of the Samurai of Mikawa at all! Zenjiro Yamaoka was still indignant, he felt that Honda Yahachiro was not at all like the Mikawa samurai.
"The spirit of the Samurai of Mikawa? What's that? Kira Manmatsumu asked curiously: "Having said that, I have always been ignorant of the so-called Three Rivers Samurai, what kind of person is considered a Three Rivers Samurai?" ”
"This ...... It is a general term that circulates among lower-ranking samurai. Yamaoka Zenjiro seemed to feel that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly remedied: "As a famous samurai, it is normal that the owner of the hall has not heard of it, and his subordinates have only occasionally heard of it when they drink with the Mayu samurai. ”
"Drinking? You're ready to drink! Kira Manmatsumaru smacked his lips, stared at Zenjiro Yamaoka, who was curled up, and said, "Where did you go to drink?" A sake house? It is said that a new whale house has opened in Saijo Castle Town, and the family thought it was appropriate to talk to your father about it. ”
"Lord Pavilion, spare your life! Your Majesty will never dare again! I really don't dare anymore...... Whining! ”
"Okay, okay, go where you like! Don't be disgusting with snot and tears...... Anyway, your name is Naoka Yamaoka! I haven't called you by your name since the beginning of the year. ”
"Naonaga and Zenjiro are both the names of his subordinates, please continue to call his subordinates Zenjiro!"
"That's it! Don't continue to sprinkle dog blood, I'm interested to know what a Samurai of Mikawa is. ”
"Yes! Loyal, brave, silent! It's the spirit of my Mikawa samurai! It's also the way of our samurai! Zenjiro Yamaoka said with a serious face.
Kira Manmatsumaru has always disliked samurai slashing with swords, and the kind of samurai who talk and laugh with you one moment, and then pull out their swords and fight to the death the next moment is very annoying, so when he heard Zenjiro say this, he maliciously speculated: "Oh, silent samurai? The character is introverted and moody, and if the master is punished, in addition to seppuku, is it the meaning of rebellion? ”
"It's not! Please don't misunderstand! The way of the samurai is first and foremost loyalty, and after death, the disloyal will become evil spirits and fall into hell, and the gods and Buddhas will not forgive them! ”
"Got it, got it! It's time to go about your business, brave Samurai of the Three Rivers! "Take Zenjiro Yamaoka away,
The samurai family has risen for more than 500 years, except for the first nine years of the Heian Dynasty, the pillars of the Kawachi Genji samurai family who came out of the war in the last three years became the masters of the Kanto region, but the so-called samurai code of conduct did not appear, and the famous Hogen Rebellion occurred.
Minamoto Yoshitomo and his father Minamoto were opposed to Yoshitomi, and in the Hogen Rebellion, they were divided into two ends, and the victorious Minamoto Yoshitomo personally supervised the beheading in Shitsuka, Kyoto, and the beheaded prisoners were his own father Minamoto Yoshi, the fourth brother Minamoto Yorixian, the fifth brother Minamoto Yorizhong, the sixth brother Minamoto Yorimune, the seventh brother Minamoto Nari and the ninth brother Minamoto Naka.
Minamoto Yorichao later also followed the tradition of his father's generation, and successively forced Gen Fan Yorishi and Minamoto Yoshitsune to death, and his descendants were used by their relatives Hojo clan to become heirs because of cannibalism, so the Kamakura shogunate was completely controlled by the Hojo family, and the code of conduct of the samurai class was only bound by laws such as the "Imperial Success or Failure Style".
Prior to this, the samurai family did not have the so-called primogeniture inheritance system, except that the pillars of the samurai family were inherited by the eldest son, and the division of land and property was evenly distributed, so the original samurai family was a fight of blood and fire.
It was not until the war between the Northern and Southern Dynasties that broke out nearly a hundred years ago that the Zhuzi doctrine spread from the nobles of the princess and the Gozan Temple in Kinai became popular, so that the Ashikaga shogunate re-established the orthodox inheritance of the samurai, which was also the first time that the samurai behavior was specifically regulated, and there was no special reason that the eldest son must be the heir, and if there was an inheritance dispute, he must go to the shogunate in Kyoto to fight a lawsuit, which is also one of the ways for the shogunate to strengthen the ruling authority and strengthen the binding force and deterrence of the country's wealthy families.
Yamaoka Zenjiro said that the way of the samurai was completely non-mainstream in this era, leaving aside the Muromachi shogunate's guardian domain system, the core idea of the imperial family system established by the descendants of Genji in Kawachi was the four words "imperial grace and dedication", that is, the reward of the territory in exchange for martial courage and loyalty, and who would go to the public without a reward, which was confirmed by the two Mongol expeditions and the later imperial family going to Kamakura to seek a reward.
However, the good times did not last long, as the Kamakura Shogunate was monopolized by the Hojo family, and the kinship clan was arbitrarily installed to control most of the guardians and land heads, making it impossible to maintain the reward, the imperial family went bankrupt and became more and more resentful of the shogunate, and completely broke with the Imperial people represented by the Hojo family in the Frost Moon Turmoil, which led to the collapse of the imperial family and contributed to the collapse of the Kamakura Shogunate, the Motohiro Rebellion, the New Takeshi Shogunate and the subsequent outbreak of the Northern and Southern Dynasties era, the samurai group once again surged to deal a major blow to the authority of the imperial court and the shogunate, and the Muromachi shogunate lasted for 200 years.
After the Muromachi period, the Ashikaga clan attaches great importance to the development of a family family, but it seems that the importance is a bit excessive, the three leaders control the puppet generals of the shogunate, and in the past 100 years, there have been endless coups in chaos, and the shogun's premature death, murder, early death, and exile have made the shogunate authoritarian decline.
To this day, a new samurai norm has not yet been established, but there are indeed new signs of a new samurai in Mikawa, which is a product of a mixture of Rinzai Zen thought and Zhu Zi's science and science, and will be mixed with the shadow of Shinto in the next hundred years, and it will continue to be continued.
Kira Manmatsumu didn't like this kind of thinking, the samurai before the Muromachi period were too barbaric, and the mother was very undisciplined, and after the Warring States period, the authoritarian establishment of this non-mainstream idea in the countryside of Mikawa Province bound the entire class, making the samurai group become lifeless, like the setting sun and the waning mountains.
