Chapter 149: Spear Teaching (3rd Update)
Tsukahara Bu Ling, who was watching from the sidelines, nodded from time to time, and occasionally criticized the advantages and disadvantages of the two with Yamamoto Tokiyuki, in exchange for how he should defeat the opponent with a sword, but Twenty He was able to figure out the basic style of Nakajo Stream, Tsukahara Bu Ling suddenly asked: "How old is this Dewa Shouden this year?" How many years have you been practicing? How has your practice been in recent years? ”
Yamamoto Tokiyuki thought for a moment, and then replied: "Dewa Hall was born on May 17 in the fourth year of astronomy, and he is seventeen years old this year. Because he has to take on official duties, he has been practicing for at least three hours a day in the past two years, regardless of cold, summer, rain and snow. ”
"One feather was born in the second year of astronomy, and the difference between the two is two years old, so it is still a feather to lose." Tsukahara Bu Ling clapped his hands, and Shigang Kazuha, who was fighting fiercely on the opposite side, immediately withdrew his sword and retreated, and Nakajo Shixiu also took the opportunity to retreat and stop, and the two fought against each other dozens of times in just a quarter of an hour, and for a while the two of them were soaked with sweat from their hair to their clothes.
"This trial ended in a draw!" Tsukahara Bu Ling made a final decision, and the others naturally didn't talk much, but what he said next caused an uproar, "The swordsmanship and will of the two of you are the best choice, but the talent of the Deyu Shoudian is better, the old man intends to accept the Deyu Shoudian as an apprentice, I don't know what the intention of the Deyu Shoudian is?" ”
Tsukahara Bu Ling took the initiative to accept apprentices, this is something that has not been encountered for many years, at the moment when everyone was stunned, Nakajo Shixiu hurriedly leaned over and said: "Shixiu is very willing to worship Tsukahara Hall as a teacher!" ”
Shigang Yiyu glared at Nakajo Shixiu angrily, and also knelt on the ground and raised his head in protest: "Master! Why is he more talented than me? I'm not convinced! ”
"How many years has Yiyu followed the old man?" Tsukahara asked patiently.
Shioka Kazuyu said respectfully: "It has been ten years since I followed Master when I was nine years old!" ”
"So how long have you been practicing every day for the past ten years?"
"More than five hours!" Shioka Kazuha is very proud of his hard work, more than five hours is ten to eleven hours, and excluding the time for eating, sleeping and resting in between, there is almost no personal space for movement, no wonder he is so confident.
"So do you know how old this Nakajo Dewa Mamoru is? The old man told you that he is seventeen years old! In the past two years, you have been practicing for three hours a day, and you can practice without distractions, but he has to be a samurai's duty to serve the public, who is higher and who is lower? ”
"This ...... This ...... "Shigang Kazuha is a little discouraged, although his talent is top-notch, but he is not the most powerful among Tsukahara Bu Ling's apprentices, for example, Yunlin Yuan Mitsuhide is their senior brother, this Jun is not only outstanding in talent, but also the most promising person among his peers to obtain the Extreme Desire Books, compared to the senior brother's extraordinary patience and tenacious willpower, he feels that it is still much worse.
Tsukahara Bu Ling walked over and grabbed the arms of the two of them, patted them on the shoulder and said: "The first focus of our art of war is that if you are unstable, no matter how high your swordsmanship is, you both have talents, don't be hurt by a little setback, you must always refrain from it." ”
The two looked at each other and leaned over to say yes, and Tsukahara Bu Ling said to Kira Yoshitoki again: "The old man is here to borrow the retainers of His Royal Highness Sakamoto, and he will definitely return it as it is after a year!" Hehe...... Farewell! ”
From beginning to end, it was Tsukahara Bu Ling who spoke alone, and there was no chance for others to intervene at all, and he said only when the last person walked away: "Just took away the love of my family, this old man is really welcome!" ”
"Ahem! His Royal Highness Yunlinin lives in the Yashiki of Kitajimaru! Regarding the teaching of the family governor and other matters, please ask His Royal Highness Yunlin Yuan for guidance on spearmanship! Yamamoto interjected helplessly.
Yunlin Yuan Mitsuhide's cultivation is good, and he smiled at the slightly embarrassed Kira Yoshitoki before saying, "Please rest assured that Sado Shoudian!" His Royal Highness Sakamoto will definitely give it to him. ”
Japan's spearmanship began very late, and it was not until the late Kamakura period that it began to break away from the naginata technique to form a unique school, during which it absorbed the spearmanship taught by the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty refugees, and began to flourish on a large scale, because of the influence of the Mongols' two cross-sea expeditions, the Kamakura samurai's traditional way of arching and riding was no longer desirable, and samurai from all over the country began to train and reserve to replace spears, and Ashigaru also evolved from it.
The foundation of the spear taught by Mitsuhide in Yunlin Yuan is also very simple, standing with the gun, simple stabbing, chopping and other corrections, because the origin of Japanese guns is different from the ash pole spears of the Song and Ming dynasties, Japanese guns are all hardwood guns, and the blade maintains the characteristics of the nagina knife is very long, the head of the gun retains the blood groove, and the whole head of the gun is nailed into the hardwood.
For example, the origin of the large-body gun used most by the samurai is different from the naginata, but from the variant of the Mo knife, because the blade is more than a foot long, it can do chopping, stabbing, splitting and other actions, and the combat method is slightly different from the Chinese spearmanship, because it is a hardwood for the body of the gun, which is mainly pierced and pierced, and then equipped with slashing, oblique splitting, cross-cutting and other skills.
After a few days of familiarity with the foundation of gunmanship, Yunlin Academy Mitsuhide also figured out the characteristics of Kira Yoshishi and began to provide targeted guidance, plus Ji Liang Yoshishi has practiced a good foundation of swordsmanship for a few years, and the speed of entry is very fast, and the next step is to master the correct posture to practice the training of basic skills such as piercing guns and splitting guns, each action must be practiced a thousand times, if he does not have the foundation to practice swords, he is afraid that he will be tired to death.
One evening, Yoshitoki Kira dragged his tired body to finish the day's practice, and met Gengoro Watanabe running over with Honda Sanya and asked, "Lord of the museum!" Why don't you learn how to shoot with my father? ”
"In the future, there will be opportunities to learn, and the family will learn the spearmanship of Katori Shinto-ryu first, and then learn the gunnery of the Watanabe family in the future." In fact, Kira Yoshitoshi didn't want to learn the Kata Sickle technique, the Kata Sickle is a weapon very similar to a halberd, because there is a small branch sticking out on one side of the blade, which makes the balance of the gun body difficult to master.
Watanabe Takatsuna, who is known as Gun Hanzo, is of course also proficient in plain spearmanship, but he doesn't think that Watanabe Takatsuna's plain spear skills will be better than that of Yunlin Mitsuhide, Kira Yoshishi has his idea from time to time, that is, Takigawa Keijiro who practiced in Kofukuji Takazoin, according to him, Takazoin Yinei is good at a variety of spear skills, among which the big body spear is not under the self-created ten-character gun, Kira Yoshitomi instructed him to learn these two gun skills.
At the end of spring sowing in early March, there was no news of a war in Kinai, and the Rokkaku family, which had been silent, came to the door, and Yoshida Izumo Mamoru Shigemasa, who was born in the Sasaki Rokkaku clan, sent someone to find the Kira family, saying that he had taken a fancy to Naito Masanari's talent and wanted to accept Naito Masanari as an apprentice and pass on the secret technique of the Hioki Ryu Bow Technique to him.
For this matter, Kira Yoshitoki called Naito Masari over again and asked: "Yoshida Shigemasa of Nichiki Ryu, this Hitziki Ryu is the originator of the new archery school since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, do you want to learn it?" ”
"Your Majesty also wants to go and see the archery of Rizhi Liu, please rest assured, the Pavilion Master, it will be a month soon, and your Majesty will be able to return to the Shrine in three months." Naito Masari seemed to be very interested in this proposal, and it really didn't take too long to learn his bow skills, as the first-class bow general at that time, he only needed to master the secret of Hiokika-ryu to become a teacher, and he was very confident in this, and Yoshida Shigemasa would not play tricks on the inheritance mantle when he was nearly seventy years old.
After the strong reaction in the early days of the money writing order, the two money houses in Kyoto and Sakamoto are basically operating normally, and the basic functions of the money house can be displayed, and the money and goods between Sakamoto and Kyoto can only be charged a 1% handling fee to bring an objective income to the money house, because the money house has been facing the lack of Yongle money, and the exchange between the two is still in a state of limited exchange, and 100 Yongle money is allowed to be exchanged every day, which is much less than the profit of unlimited exchange at the beginning.
This is also a helpless thing, Yongle money was originally a high currency currency, in the Ming Dynasty almost did not circulate this kind of copper money, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di cast Yongle Tongbao original intention is the currency of foreign trade, Ji Liang Yi wanted to cast regular Yongle money to gradually replace the messy money, there is also a deeper idea.
