Two wrestlers each hold two white silk flags, hanging on the flagpole of more than four rooms, the morning breeze blows two flags in the wind, fixed eyes to see that it is two white flags with more than three rooms, one of which is written "Nan no Hachiman Great Bodhisattva", the other side is written "Hachiman Taro Genyoshiya", these two white flags are extremely familiar, or such a large size of the white flag is almost unheard of, so that everyone who sees it is impressed.

"It's ...... White flag! ”

Ashikaga Yoshitoki nodded and smiled, "Yes! This is a white flag, and it is not an ordinary white flag! It is the second of the three white flags in the world! Do you know the origin of these two white flags? ”

The sharp-eyed Kwantung samurai exclaimed, "This is the Imperial White Flag of the Right Great General's Palace!" ”

"What about this side...... Could it be the white flag of Hachimantaro Temple! Yuki Harusa swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "Is the white flag of Hachimantaro Hall still there?" ”

Ashikaga Yoshitoki nodded with a smile and said, "The Qing Dynasty is very smart, this is my ancestor's imperial white flag!" Since ancient times, there have only been three white flags that can be called the Imperial White Flag, two in Yu and the other in the hands of the shogunate, so the princes know whose one it is, right? ”

There are a lot of so-called white flags, the white flag that once happened is a group of Heike samurai for their own interests, with the white flag that the ancestors got from the shogunate to make a fuss, these white flags are usually not big, a few feet long a banner with the words "Nan no Hachiman Bodhisattva" written on it is almost like that, this kind of flag to the Warring States period when the system collapsed, basically every samurai regardless of whether they got it from the shogunate or not to get a side to fool people, and even the small wealthy clan of the ground attendants also played a side to join in the fun.

There are many small white flags of this kind that are impersonated, and the more famous ones are the ones that were given by the pillars of the Minamoto family during the Genpei and Kamakura periods. For example, during the last three years of the campaign. Chichibu should not be the pioneer of Taira Taketsuna. The white flag received from the Minamoto Yoshiya was the earliest Genji white flag obtained by the Banto Hachihei clan, and then Miura Yoshiaki received one from Minamoto Yoritomo in the Genhei War, and slowly the white flag gradually spread like a reward to the meritorious samurai.

There are only three white flags, in the Central Plains Dynasty, this is called Daxu, it is the handsome flag set up outside the tent of the Chinese army, which was originally a very valuable and rare good thing, but with the change of dynasties, the army is in chaos. The messy general can also get the big silk to decorate the façade, and the head of the army directly adds nine tin to himself, so far the dynasty is sluggish and the etiquette is degraded, and it is a small country and widow in a corner of peace, and it can still persist until now with its tenacious tradition.

Nagano Yegu had an idea and said, "Could it be that he is waiting for the imperial white flag of the temple (Ashikaga Honji)?" ”

"That's right, Yu saw it once in the shogunate, and when the temple of the holding of the temple was different, he deliberately changed the white flag to the Great Bodhisattva of Nan no Bow and Arrow Hachiman." Ashikaga Yoshitoki showed a look of memory, and couldn't help but think of following Ashikaga Yoshiki twenty years ago. The scene of going to Shishimizu Hachiman Palace to worship the ancestors of the ranks, in a blink of an eye, things are not human. Ashikaga Yoshiteru has returned to heaven.

Naoe Jingzuna asked: "Aren't these two imperial white flags ......?"

"Yu wants to make the fourth imperial white flag, the fourth imperial white flag belonging to my Yuan family." Ashikaga Yoshitoki pointed to the white flag behind him, and said with a faint smile: "Ashikaga Kamizaburo Yoshitoki is Yu's imperial white flag!" If Ashikaga Yoshiaki doesn't take away my post as a Kanto shogun, then I won't be a samurai of the Muromachi shogunate, and I will continue to be a pillar of the samurai. ”

Ben Duoshi said excitedly: "The pillar of the martial arts, the general of Zhengyi is also, and the right general has finally made up his mind to compete for the position of general!" How many years have I been waiting for, and this day is what I have been waiting for! ”

"I'm willing to serve the Right General's Palace!"

Ashikaga Yoshitoki looked at it, the military appearance was strict and the morale was high, and he couldn't help but laugh with excitement: "Do you remember what the original intention of the imperial family was?" Do you remember Genji's oath? ”

"The royal family, the Genji family! As for Genji's oath...... "Even Haruke Kashida, who is well versed in history, hesitated, and vaguely seemed to remember such an event, but it was not clear exactly what was going on, and he asked uncertainly: "Could it be the old shrine of the Genpei era?" ”

"The Genji Oath sounds like it only existed in the Genpei era!" Nasu Ziyin looked sad and depressed, since the beginning of the Oshu War, the Nasu family was transferred to the Mutsu Province to pacify the side, fortunately, Ashikaga Yoshitoki had a certain exemption discount on taxes, otherwise Nasu Ziyin really didn't know how long this governor could be.

Ashina Shengxing secretly took out the wine jug, and before it was stuffed into his mouth, he was taken away by the waiter, who was instructed by Nagata Tokumoto to resolutely not let the young family governor who was allergic to alcohol touch a drop of wine, and the young family governor hummed unhappily for a while, and complained: "Isn't it just an oath?" Sounds like a vow from the time of Hachimantaro's temple......"

For a time, there were various opinions among the ministers, and Ashikaga Yoshitoki ordered the priest to take out the documents sent to Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, and found in the oldest documents the prayer letters sent before and after the battle of the last three years, among which many oaths were sent, Uesugi Kenshin picked up one and read: "God and Buddha Mingjian, we and other Bando samurai should serve in Hachimanden!" On March 6 of the second year of Kanji, Kamiki Susuke was usually long, the ancestor of the Chiba clan. ”

Hojo Shiyasu took out a copy and read: "The gods and Buddhas are above, and we and other Bandong samurai should serve in Hachimanden!" On March 6 of the second year of Kanji, Shinano Mamoru Umino Yukatsu, the descendant of Shino courtiers? ”

"The gods and Buddhas are above, and I, the Samurai of Banto, should serve in Hachimanden for generations! On March 6 of the second year of Kanji, Kamakura Kagoro Keimasa. Yamamoto Michiki exclaimed: "It turned out to be the third-generation family governor of the Kamakura Party's leading family, and the one-eyed general Kashigoro Palace!" ”

Takeda Shintora glanced at it and said, "The signature of this is Chichibu Kashimori Taketsuna, the governor of the Chichibu Party of the Yahei clan. ”

"This ...... These oaths are Genji's vows! Sanada Yutaka took a long breath, but he didn't expect his ancestor Shino clan to be the seventh generation, and Umino Yukikatsu also left his own oath and said secretly: "There was really nothing wrong with defecting to the right general's hall at the beginning!" ”

This glorious history has also gradually forgotten with the tide of the times, perhaps because the ancestors experienced the war and broke the record, and more likely that when the Isehira clan rose, many samurai saw the wind and made the rudder forget the roots, but no matter how to alter their own family history, the oath sent from Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace will not be fake.

The Kwantung samurai was even more shocked. The ancestors of the Chichibu Party, the Chiba Party, and the Kamakura Party actually wrote such an oath. No matter what the samurai of the time thought of the role of this oath. It was a priceless artifact today, and many samurai were amazed at first, and then they understood the motives of Genpei's actions.

Hojo Toshimasa said: "No wonder in the battle of Genpei, so many Banto samurai sacrificed their lives to defect to the right general's hall, it turned out that Genji's oath was restrained!" ”

"Do you know where this oath comes from?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know!"

Kitabatake hesitated and said: "There are clouds in "The Legend of the Middle Right", and the battle in the last three years was determined by the imperial court to be purely a private fight, and no official charms were given, and no rewards were given. Then he ordered the dismissal of Hachiman Taro Temple, probably because of this, right? ”

Ashikaga Yoshitoki stroked his sword and laughed, "That's right! That's right! Bandong samurai saddle before and after the horse served Hachiman Taro Hall to the north of the Mutsu, Laboron spent money for three years like flowing water, and the casualties were not counted, and in the end, the emperor issued an edict saying that this was a private fight but there was no reward, and Hachiman Taro Hall was also dismissed by Mutsu because of this, what is the use of such a court? Since my court doesn't reward it, then let my source family reward it, Hachiman Taro Hall scattered all the family assets to reward him, and the Bando samurai was deeply grateful to make a vow that would not be violated from generation to generation. This is Genji's oath, a vow made by the Sakato samurai to the pillars of my Genji! ”

It is known to the world that the foundation of the Gen family was laid in the first nine years and three years after that. But I don't know that the first nine years and the last three years are two things in the two systems, Minamoto Yoriyoshi was ordered by the imperial court to crusade against the Mutsu prisoner Abe, and Minamoto Yoshiya blatantly ignored the reprimand of the imperial court, and did not hesitate to launch the next three years of the campaign for military merits, from the perspective of the imperial court, Minamoto Yoshiya was an arrogant murderer, but the samurai did not think so.

There was no reward without war, and in that era when there was no shogunate, land bounty was everything, and their essence was bloody and brutal and profit-seeking chaos, and the maintenance of the majesty of the imperial court and the neglect of the interests of the samurai caused the embarrassing situation of the Minamoto Yoshiya who was eager to launch the war for the next three years but was not rewarded.

There is nothing wrong with Ashikaga Yoshitoki saying this, but he ignored the expressions of the ministers such as Konoe Maehisa and Imadegawa Harumi, and the annual tribute of the entire Kanto and Hayoku was stagnant during the three years of the Minamoto Yoshika's war, and the imperial court sent an envoy to inquire but he used the tributes of various countries as military salaries, and simply and rudely answered the reason for the arrears of tribute payment.

But in this situation, how could Ashikaga Yoshitoki care about this, the samurai in the square waved their fists and roared, thinking back to the blood-boiling history hundreds of years ago, it was not the former dynasty, but it really happened around them, and then affected the rise and fall of their own family.

Ashikaga Yoshitoki's voice was low and hoarse and said: "The so-called predecessors planted trees and later generations enjoyed the shade, without the ancestors of my source family who led the monarchs to cut through thorns and thorns and fight bloodily, and there would be a happy life of the monarchs sitting in a mansion today, without martial arts and no rewards, can the monarchs become samurai, become lords, and become daimyo?"

The court doesn't give a reward, my source family gives, the court doesn't give an official position, my source family gives, the court looks down on you, my source family values you, so the right general hall raises troops and follows like a cloud, so my source family is a general of Zhengyi, so I have this oath like iron! Genji's oath is set up for my Gen family, and even more so for the monarchs themselves! Defend the family business, wives and children, and territories of the kings, and defend the traditions, order, and dignity of the samurai!

Please remember, do not forget the glory that your ancestors bestowed upon you, and forgetting the past means betrayal! We are heroes and heroes who stand up to the sky, how can we do the ugly thing of betraying the family and betraying the faith! What face will the betrayer have in the future to see his relatives under the Yellow Spring, and what face will he use to treat the ancestors of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the forgotten past must be picked up again, this is the way of the samurai! ”

The square erupted in enthusiastic cheers, they waved their flags and shouted and beat the drums, the excitement was surging, like a mountain and a tsunami shaking through the sky, the young surname was full of excitement and red, eager to fight on the battlefield now, the small square seemed to turn into a furnace, and the air seemed to exude a scorching breath.

Several ministers under the corridor smiled bitterly at each other, not knowing how to evaluate this speech, and Konoe said embarrassedly for a long time: "Yishi's shot is really extraordinary, in a few words, I don't want to bring the court in, it's really innocent!" ”

It was embarrassing for the ministers to be shot innocently, but the samurai didn't care what the honorable ministers thought, hundreds of years of struggle were not to keep pace with the ministers, and the samurai respected not the ministers themselves, but the court that gave the ministers power and status, and no matter how they covered up, they couldn't change their yearning.

Ashikaga Yoshitoki held a mustache in his hand and walked outside the high platform with a sword. Said slowly: "Women, heirs, family business, clan, territory, wealth, honor. All of this. It's what you want and what you've been striving for all your life! Want it? I'll give it to you! For the price, it's all yours! The price is loyalty, bravery, and lawfulness, can you do it? ”

"Yes!" Thousands of people shouted a word at the same time, the momentum was unforgettable, the high morale quietly passed on each other, and the faith was established silently.

Yamamoto Michiki exclaimed, and before he could make an evaluation, he heard Ashikaga Yoshitoki say again: "Very good! I want you to fight for me. Instead of having you commit suicide by seppuku, even if you die, you must die with honor, never grovel before the enemy, never turn your back to the enemy, can you do it? ”

"Yes!"

Ashikaga Yoshitoki said loudly: "Then I want to be a pillar of the samurai family, a pillar of the Gen family, who will support it?" Who is against it? ”

The square instantly returned to silence, and the warriors took a deep breath and shouted in unison: "We are willing to respect the Right General Hall as the pillar of the martial arts family, and be loyal to the Right General Hall from generation to generation." Never forget! ”

The momentum was as strong as the rising tide of the sea, and at this moment Ashikaga Yoshitoki showed a smile of relief. Laughed and said, "Good, good! Worthy of being the world-famous Kamakura samurai, the monarchs are still the blades of my Gen family, and they are still the royal family of my Gen family! Why don't you renew the vows of my Gen family today! From today on, the monarchs can only be loyal to the pillars of the source family, Ashikaga Kamizaburo Yoshi, only loyal to the descendants of the pillars of the source family, only recognize this imperial white flag, hereditary recklessness can not be contradicted, what can the monarchs think? ”

The ministers prostrate on the ground, in the posture of worshiping the gods and Buddhas, and shouted: "Gods and Buddhas, we wait...... The descendants of His Royal Highness, the right general, who are loyal to the pillars of the Yuan family, if there are violators, they are willing to suffer from the punishment of the gods! ”

Ashikaga Yoshitoki laughed heartily, many years of heart knots once came to naught, he finally took the most critical step, the pillars of the samurai family, the pillars of the Gen family are equal to one word in this era, but in the more ancient Genpei era, it means that the inheritance of the Genji lineage is added, he is not anyone's retainer, no longer have to listen to the so-called chirp of the so-called leader of the family Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he only lives for himself, and the Gen family only counts if he says it.

After that, Ashikaga Yoshitoki called his eldest son, Ashikaga Yoshitai, to his side, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said: "Yu's sister-in-law, the next generation pillar of the Gen family, the fifth lower left horse head of the emperor of the town, is your future lord!" ”

The Sakato samurai knelt on the ground and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Meet the young master!" ”

Ashikaga Yoshitai nodded reservedly, looking at the samurai prostrate on the ground with a proud face, the smart young man clearly knew that from this moment on, he was no longer the young highness of the Kanto General's Mansion, but the young master of the Genji family, kneeling in the square was no longer an ordinary retainer, but the royal family of the Genji family.

Ashikaga Yoshitoki patted his son-in-law on the shoulder, whispered a few words and let him walk off the high platform, and continued: "Ashikaga Yoshiaki does not let Yu use Ashikaga Miao characters, Yu claims to be Genyoshi, Ashikaga Yoshiaki does not allow Yu to use Ashikaga two to lead two, Yu will change Sasa Ryu gall as the family crest flag, from today on, the Muromachi shogunate and the pillars of the source family have nothing to do with each other, Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Yu En broke off!" Ladies and gentlemen, the time for revenge is coming, please hold the sword in your hand and kill all the enemies who insult the pillars of the Yuan family! ”

Ashikaga Yoshitai ran to the stage with a smoke, took out a white background black Sasa gall flag seal slowly rose, Bando samurai covered his mouth and exclaimed, that belongs to the Kamakura shogunate shogunate Shogunate exclusive Sasa gall flag, once to the Banto samurai family brought countless glory and pain to the flag, leaving countless nostalgic flags to reappear in the world, this flag once again pushed the atmosphere of the square to a climax, cheers one after another, I don't know whether to celebrate the birth of the pillars of the source family, or to celebrate their own new life.

Seeing the familiar and unfamiliar flag, Imadegawa Qingji's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but gasp, and sighed: "What a terrible samurai, he has calculated to the extreme!" I'm afraid that no one in this world can defeat him anymore, right? The pillars of the Yuan family, the two right generals of the Yuan! ”

"The invincible pillars of the Yuan family, maybe today is the past of the old era and the advent of the new era!" Konoe Qianjiu slowly got up, looked at the golden sun rising between the distant mountains, and muttered: "When the white flag reappears in the world, it will be the new life of the samurai, will it also be the new life of the minister?" ”

Ashikaga Yoshitoki suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the high platform, praying to the two white flags: "Hachiman Bodhisattva is above, the white flag is above, the pillars of the Genke family are on top, and the Ashikaga pillars are on top!" At this moment, the pillar of the Yuan family, Yuan Yishi, is the volunteer soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom to crusade against the Yuan family's rebellion Yuan Yizhao! The husband is a samurai, the martial luck is in the sky, the armor is in the chest, the meritorious feet are under the feet, and the bow and arrow are forward! Born to die, to live and die! Tianyu source family, martial arts for a long time! ”

Takigawa Shiyi raised his fist and shouted: "Tianyu Yuanjia, martial arts luck is long!" ”

"Tianyu Yuanjia, martial arts for a long time!" A loud cry lingered over Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine for a long time, and countless young samurai silently made a vow in their hearts full of worship for the pillars of the Gen family, respect for the exploits of their ancestors, and the ambition to make a name for themselves in history.

"The Yuanjia soldiers will go to Gyeonggi and swear not to return if they don't take the world!" (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank the book friends for their hearts floating, Hattori Masari, steel immortal will, and rogue rogue rewards.

A book friend asked me, what is the stalk of "Flying Foot Right General"? In fact, this is the original word in the ancient text, and flying feet probably means to rush and rush to deliver messages.
