Chapter 21: Powerful Ministers
For this reason, Watanabe Takatsuna, who was reduced to a ground servant, would be so excited to see Kira Manmatsumaru, and it was not easy for his family to mix like this, the ancestor was still Saga Genji, and there was a famous nobleman who had produced the first Genji, the second Genji, and the third Genji, and the protagonist of "The Tale of Genji" written by the celebrity Murasaki Shikibu in the Heian period was Genrong, the minister of the left of the river, and his brothers created the first Genji, the second Genji, the third Genji, and other prominent names, and it was also the beginning of the descendation of the Genji family.
Of course, mixing like this is also related to his background, the Watanabe clan is far from being a descendant, their ancestors have long been defeated, and the status of becoming a samurai family is also very low, and his Watanabe clan is actually a descendant of Watanabe Tsuna, a branch of the Matsuura clan, inherited the Miao character of the ancestor Watanabe clan, in fact, it has nothing to do with the Watanabe clan.
Compared with the Qinghe Genji, which has repeatedly made great contributions to the imperial court since the surrender of the ministers, it seems that the origin is unknown, and the Kawachi Genji has been powerful since the beginning of the Hachiman Taro Minamoto Yoshika, and the Kawachi Genji clan has also become the actual leader of the samurai, and there is the saying that the samurai Genji is descendant, so that the source Lai Chao single-handedly pulled up tens of thousands of troops and the Ping clan.
Kira Manmatsumu also finally remembered who Watanabe Takatsuna was, his son should be Watanabe Moritsuna, and the entire Mikawa country is also his family Miao Watanabe, this question is not difficult to guess, but he is still very curious about how Watanabe Takatsuna was recruited into Kira's family.
"This is a list compiled by his subordinates, and the names and origins of the samurai belonging to the eight hundred standing ones are all listed on the list." Kansuke Yamamoto took out a piece of paper out of nowhere, looking at the slightly scribbled handwriting on the list, Kira Manmatsumaru habitually pouted, Kansuke Yamamoto's handwriting is very bad, and because of his negligence in calligraphy, he can only use kana instead of real characters to write.
But if you look closely, he's not in the mood to laugh at his font," ...... Watanabe Gengozaemon Takatsuna, Naito Shiro Saemon Masanari, Kato Sunjiro Kyoaki, Ina Gobei Tadaya...... Hey, Naito Masanari? Isn't this the Naito clan who calls himself Fujiwara Hidego-ryu? Kiyonaga Naito seems to be still the genealogy of the Matsudaira family. ”
"It's true, the Naito clan claims to be Fujiwara Hidego Ryu, and is the same clan as the Tanba Naito clan and the Zhoufang Naito clan, but because there is no strong genealogical evidence." Kansuke Yamamoto sighed.
"What are you doing with your approving face, I want an answer!" Kira Manmatsumu pursed his lips quickly, and secretly said that the old man was talking about him left and right, so he could only say patiently: "I'm obviously asking why there is him, please don't misinterpret what I mean!" ”
"Oh, I see! The old minister is old, and he can't keep up with the pace of the hall owner anymore! Under the speechless gaze of Kira Manmatsumu, this super energetic guy made a very distressed look, made a contemplative thought, and after a while, he suddenly realized: "Probably because of the relationship with the owner of the pavilion!" ”
"Nani? Congenial? What an explanation! It's too irresponsible! Kira Manmatsumu finally couldn't help but get mad, and directly threw off the horse and rushed into the street, and the people who were close to him and the people behind him hurriedly followed, while Yamamoto Kansuke was slowly behind.
"The owner has finally grown up! The old man has been successful in training for five years, and today's standing performance is imprinted in the hearts of the Kira family, but I am afraid that several generations in Saijo Castle will not be able to sit still! That's it! These 800 standing books are a gift for the hall owner, and the old man took this opportunity to hand over the military power, who can say a word about the old man? ”
Kansuke Yamamoto glanced back at a samurai who was on duty, who was only in his early twenties and had a bow technique of piercing Yang in 100 steps, and snorted coldly: "Naito Yoshikiyo, the head of the Okazaki Five, ended up being wounded and dying at the age of seventy-three for the Matsudaira family to face Oda Nobuhide, the Naito family can do their best for the Matsudaira family, but now the Naito family still lives in Naitoso in Kamoda Township, what qualifications does this kind of master have to have a warrior like Naito Masanari!" ”
"These good seedlings will be left to the hall owner to cultivate!" In the distance, the green mountains are still the same, and the green water is still flowing, except for the dozens of destroyed houses in the castle town, and the dozens of terrifying human heads on both sides of the streets of Tokai, it is as if nothing has happened.
In the Saijo Castle assessment room, divided into two rows, sat Isshiki Nagato Mamoru Nao, Yamaoka Awaji Mamoru Mamoru Morumo, Okochi Tajima Nobusada, Jukai Danmasa Sho Tadashi Yaotsuna, Takahashi Dewa Masanobu, Ogasawara Satsu Mamoru Yasumoto, Ogasawara Yasuki Mamoru Hiroshige, Ehara Tanba Mamoru Mamoru and Yamamoto Kansuke as Kira Manmatsumaru's assistant and a direct minister of the Kira family.
The Kira Isshiki clan is not directly related to the Isshiki clan of the four positions of the shogunate, except for the descendants of the same Ashikaga clan, the only connection between them is the Motokanji Isshikiso, the first ancestor of the Isshiki clan Isshiki Kobui is the seventh son of the Ashikaga Yasushi clan, who was sealed to the Isshiki village near the Kira family, and the Kira family is also a cousin relationship, and later the Isshiki clan entered Beijing to serve the prince and his Isshiki village turned into the head of the Kira family.
During the period of turmoil in the northern and southern dynasties, Kira Sakyo Doctor Manyoshi was directly subordinate to Ashikaga Naoyoshi's side, and Mikawa went out to obstruct during the Ashikaga Zun's Kanto march, so he was called "the murderer of Kiraso" by Ashikaga Zunshi, and the next year Ashikaga Naoyoshi was poisoned by Ashikaga Son, and then Kira Manyoshi had to surrender, and it was precisely because of the wrong team that the Kira clan, which was famous in the Kamakura era, once fell into an embarrassing situation that he did not even get the protection of Mikawa.
Because the Kira clan and the Manchu family of the Tojo Kira clan, who both belonged to the side of Ashikaga Naoyoshi, went to Mutsu to serve as the governor of Oshu, and fought against the Hatakeyama clan and the Shita clan who were subordinate to the Ashikaga clan, and then founded the Oshu Kira clan, so the origin of the Mikawa Tojo Kira clan was taken over by Kira Manyoshi, and after the Kira family surrendered to the Northern Dynasty, the Ashikaga clan used their brains on this Tojo Castle in order to effectively suppress this powerful gate.
Ashikaga Zun clan deliberately let Kira Mitsuyoshi's second son divide one, personally for its Yuan Fu and give the word "respect" to show trust, this person is the first generation of the Tojo Kira clan, the newly established Tojo Kira clan lived up to expectations and the clan brother Kira Mansada, and then his descendants have been under the tacit consent of the shogunate and a family of the leader of the family to oppose each other, Mikawa country has never been in peace.
In order to deal with this pesky separation, Kira Mitsuyoshi, the father of the two brothers, divided several of his sons to establish separate clans to assist the clan in fighting against the Tojo Kira clan, they were Isshiki Yuyoshiki, Okayama Mitsuyasu, and Hashida Mitsunaga, and each built a castle to defend the dominance of the Kira clan in Hatado-gun.
Subsequently, the Hashida clan was extinct in the Onin Rebellion, and the descendants of the Okayama clan were also extinct, only the Shuryu Yamaoka clan retained this lineage, and only the Isshiki clan still insisted on preserving, and it has always been a powerful member of the Kira family.
Yamaoka Yaomoto is the father of Yamaoka Zenjiro, and he has a brother Yamaoka Zentaro Motocho who is the heir to the family governor of the Yamaoka family, and there are two younger sisters below him who have not yet reached the end of the family, and their family inherited Okayama Castle of the Okayama clan and made great contributions to the Kira clan against the Shimo Kira family.
Zentaro and Zenjiro's mother, Mrs. Naito, was the nurse of Kira Manmatsumaru, and the two brothers also became Kira Manmatsumaru's nursing brothers, so Kira Manmatsumaru was also very close to their family, and the reason why Zenjiro served as the leader of the people close to him stemmed from this.
