Chapter 28: The Crazy Countrymen

The people of Mikawa are the same as all the people of this era, and the unruly genes of the lord are imprinted into their bones, even if the genealogy that has always been obedient has many selfish little abacus in it, for example, the Okochi family is the head snake in Nishimikawa, if it is not always loyal to the Kira family, I am afraid that it will have become a strong party and even a guardian generation, and the Okochi clan is not only entrenched in the power of Nishimikawa, but also has a deep relationship with Higashimikawa, Toe and even Owari.

The ancestors of the Okochi family also served as the head of the village for the Kira family in the territory of Enoe Province, which was later rebuilt into Inimama Castle by the Imagawa family, also known as Hikima Castle and Hikima Castle, and was rebuilt into Hamamatsu Castle by a tanuki cat more than ten years later, because the Okochi family was a famous wealthy family in Mikawa for a while.

And their family has been famous for giving birth to cultural people for generations, and the most feared by this group of reckless men in the countryside of Mikawa is a cultural person, and the Okochi family is different from the Kira family, often showing up in the country of Mikawa, compared to the Kira family who lives in a simple place, it is easier to get close to, and the natural reputation is also a little higher, for the countrymen, the Kira family is unattainable, like the Buddha statue in the temple, the Okochi family is the real samurai.

Not to mention the former King of Resentful Spirits, the current god of learning, Sugawara Michizane, this big man, is that there are not many people who can be called cultural people in today's samurai families, most of the samurai are not very knowledgeable about Sinology, and few people can make limericks to do it, there is a legend in Tokaido, that is to say that a witty word of cultural people can make the wicked put down the butcher's knife and reform themselves, so that the warriors on weekdays can't even hold the sword, so these local tyrants of the three rivers dare not mess with this big Hanochi family governor who knows poetry.

These rumors were also passed on to Kira Manmatsumaru's ears as anecdotes, but he didn't take them as a matter at the time, and the books in the Kira family were even richer, more than ten times more than the treasures of the Okochi family, which were given by the emperors, ministers, and His Royal Highnesses, gifts from merchants of the Ming Kingdom, and purchases from Sakai Town.

"Looks like I'm still wrong! This is a troubled era of the Warring States Period, relying on the prestige and personal charm of the family governor to maintain the family name of the system, either too dependent on the monarch or too dependent on the genealogy of the ministers, completely relying on their character and ability to determine the future direction of the family, even if there is no crisis of the Imagawa family, can the family really pass on safely? ”

Kira Manmatsumu asked himself, it is indeed not a good choice to continue to stay at home, the genealogy in the Kira family is too strong and too stable, with them, don't be delusional about innovation, not to mention that he does not despise authority like Oda Nobunaga, trample on the courage of the traditional system, what can he do if he survives Imagawa Yoshimoto? There is a little turtle in the front, and there is a big spectrum generation in the back, and his life will only be more depressing.

"But what if you don't innovate! If I don't become a Sengoku daimyo, I will definitely be abandoned, if I want to always be a subordinate, why should I go to Kyoto to join His Royal Highness the Gongkata, the nearby Suruga Imagawa family, and the Owari Oda family are not more suitable? Whether it is stealing Mikawa after the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, or following the Oda family to fight the world, the name of the subordinate is always indispensable, how does this help the reputation of my Kira family, after losing the name of the family, who will be afraid of my Kira family? ”

In Kira Manmatsuru's eyes, a ray of light appeared from time to time, and he seemed to understand Yamamoto Kansuke's ultimate intention: "The master must have understood the illness at home, but he never reminded me, did he let me realize it myself?" In this troubled world of the Warring States, in the end, it is more appropriate to go forward and fight for hegemony, or to bow down to the river, if I choose to dominate, then Kyoto is the first stop, if I choose to be a minister, it is more suitable to be in Mikawa than to go to Kyoto! ”

Some people don't know what respect is, even if they sit back and keep talking, like a swarm of buzzing hornets, the retainers of the Kira family are quietly wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, secretly thinking that fortunately, those people of the Three Rivers Country are sitting far away, and it would be great if this group of reckless men really collided with the royal car.

At this time, a keen-minded person realized that Kira Manmatsumaru, who was the governor of the family, had been sitting there motionless, neither hearing exclamations nor panicking, and looked as if he was a passerby who had nothing to do with him, quietly watching the commotion of a group of Chinese people, as cold as watching a monkey show.

"Is such a governor really a cowardly person?" In addition to some reckless people who are not aware of it, some people who are still bright have begun to think about this not complicated issue, whether it is Chinese or foreign, the ancients always have a little superstitious thoughts, thinking that only those who are not afraid of danger can become masters, and obviously the same is true of the Kira family.

The retainers of the Kira family also discovered this strange phenomenon, and no one in the family dared to draw a sword at the assessment meeting before, which was also the first accident encountered by the Kira family, as the governor of the Kira Manmatsu Pill was a little surprising, and many retainers just now did not think of taking care of him, a minor governor.

Except for a few farmers who stuck their heads out to look left and right, most of them sat still honestly, and the assessment room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling to the ground.

After sitting for a while, Kira Manmatsumu gently unfolded the folding fan, revealing the fan surface painted with cherry blossoms blooming on the folding fan, on which there is the handwritten calligraphy of the Deer Yuan Temple, which is from the famous sentence of the sage Ji Guanzhi: "The mountain cherry blossoms are full of mist and mist in the mist, and the mist is faintly fragrant; Affection is the most vague, and any glimpse is also moving. ”

Strictly speaking, this is a bat fan, but it was a precious thing that was given to the second governor of the Saijo Kira family, Ryumonji Temple, and the Kira Toshishi clan originally served as the head of the shogunate, but later this position was abolished by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and the Kira Toshishi clan was then relocated to the head of the samurai, which was the predecessor of the public chief.

This bat fan was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's beloved thing back then, the fan painted by the imperial painter Kano of the Emperor, and written by the deer garden in his own poem, often holding this fan on every major occasion, when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also felt a little sorry for the Kira family, he gave this bat fan to the Kira family, and then this bat shirt also became the status symbol of the Kira family, only the Kira family governor can hold this fan, and represent the name of the Kira family.

When this bat fan was opened, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, the Kira family, as the royal family of the Ashikaga shogun's family, has been given countless treasures by the emperor and the Gongfang Palace in the past dynasties, and this bat fan is also one of the more famous things, because this folding fan is the imperial object of the governor of the Kira family in the past dynasties, so the people of Mikawa Province also know a little.

Legend has it that before the Onin Rebellion, the governor Hosokawa Katsumoto wanted to buy two hundred taels of gold but could not get it, and the governors of the Kira family in the past generations held this fan regardless of winter and summer, which not only had the meaning of showing off, but also had the meaning of deterring the local tyrants and reckless men of Mikawa.

Kira Manmatsumaru whispered unhurriedly in a pure Kyoto accent: "This family follows the rules of the family, and all generations of family governors must serve His Royal Highness the Shogunate, this is the law of the shogunate, don't you know?" Serving His Royal Highness is an incomparably glorious thing for the family, and since all the ministers have arrived, the family hereby declares that the day of Kamiroku is set for August 28, and the acting officer of the Saijo Domain will be replaced by Nobusada. ”

Kira Manmatsu Maru raised the banner of the ancestral law, and suddenly made everyone's voices dumb, and it was the ancestral rule that Kamijira served His Royal Highness the Gong Fang from generation to generation, and this truth was known to the farmers in the countryside of Nishimikawa, and they had no reason to obstruct it.

"Yes!" The matter has come to this point, and Okochi Nobusada has nothing to say, so he can only bow his head and acquiesce to the matter.

A Chinese asked suspiciously: "Lord Gokan! Serving His Royal Highness, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right? The owner of the pavilion hasn't served yet, so it's not too late to wait a few more years, right? ”

The retainers of the Kira family immediately retorted, "Stupid! Exactly because of this! The owner of the museum is going to Kyoto! In this land of three rivers, who else can preside over the Yuan costume for the Pavilion Master? Could it be you, the villager? ”
