Chapter 200: The Golden Gourd Horse Mark (I)
Chen Sheng stood in the lower reaches of history, and he was almost clear about what would happen in the future history. In addition, I have experienced so much time in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and under the influence of my ears and eyes, I also have a considerable understanding of the mentality of heroes in troubled times like Oda Nobunaga. Add the two by two, then what is Oda Nobunaga's idea at this moment, Chen Sheng can also guess that eight or nine are not far from ten.
At that moment, Chen Sheng nodded slightly, and praised: "I can not be confused by the small profit in front of me, the lord of Oda is really a great person." Tokugawa Ieyasu, it's rare for you old friends to reunite, so it's time to take this opportunity to get together. Then you don't have to be busy and leave right away. ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu was stunned for a moment, and turned around and said, "That...... Myohomura ...... "To be honest. Although they are old friends, they are hostile to each other, and he really doesn't want to stay in Owari for a long time.
Chen Sheng remembered that among the mission items, he also asked for Oda Nobunaga's "Yongle Tongbao Battle Banner" and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "Golden Gourd Horse Mark". It's rare to come to Owari, and I just took the opportunity to get these two items in my hands. Compared with the battle flag horse mark, Miaofa Village has only one. 2:1, the latter is slightly lighter. Then it is okay to let go of the Myoho Village first.
However, Chen Sheng naturally wouldn't tell Tokugawa Ieyasu about this calculation, and only said lightly: "Let's put Miaofa Village first, it doesn't matter." ”
Across the stream, Oda Nobunaga saw that something was wrong. He frowned and said, "Ieyasu, who is that person next to you?" Doesn't seem to be a retainer of your Mikawa Tokugawa family, right? ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't know how to answer. Because in fact, he also didn't know anything about Chen Sheng's origins. Chen Sheng laughed softly. took two steps forward, clasped his fists, and said, "My surname is Chen, a famous place, and I am from the Tang Dynasty." As for Weishenme and Tokugawa Ieyasu together, that's a long story. However, the lord of Oda only needs to know that Chen is not hostile to you Owari country. As for Chen's intention......"
Chen Sheng paused, his mind moved lightly, and he remembered what the Heavenly God Sect had said about the East Island and the West City. He continued: "Chen and Mr. Ning Bukong are actually old acquaintances. I heard that Mr. Ning is now in Owari and plays for the lord of Oda? I don't know if it's true. ”
Oda Nobunaga's eyes showed a slight surprise in his eyes, and he said, "Oh, you are from the Tang Dynasty, do you know Mr. Ning?" The vigilance between the eyebrows did not diminish because of this. Chen Sheng didn't think it was angry, and just gently patted Tokugawa Ieyasu on the shoulder. Seeing this, the future general of Zhengyi knew that it would not work if he did not stay. He sighed at the moment and said, "Brother Nobunaga, we have been tossing for so long the night, and we are already tired and hungry. Since Cheongju is nearby, can we come to our door and eat a bowl of chazuke? ”
Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "Chazuke, this is naturally available." Ieyasu, you can still ride a horse, right? He looked back and waved to the grove behind him. Immediately a sound was heard, and I saw a man of short stature, but smiling, and very amiable, holding the reins and leading the horse, out of the grove. Oda Nobunaga took the reins and said with a smile: "Ieyasu, get on the horse." Let's go. ”
Cheongju Castle, known as "Kiyosu" in ancient times, is located in the middle of Owari Province, and was built in the 12th year of Onei (1405), and has a history of almost 200 years. Beginning with Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide, Cheongshu existed as the administrative, military, economic, and trade center of Owari Province. After Nobuhide's death, the owner of the castle naturally became Oda Nobunaga.
When Chen Sheng, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Oda Nobunaga returned to Kiyoshu Castle with his retainers, it was already dark. Everyone tossed all night, and they all felt quite tired. At that moment, Shibata Katsuie and other samurai dispersed. Oda Nobunaga took Tokugawa Ieyasu with him into the city "Honmaru", that is, the daily living place of the castle lord's own family. But he ordered Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro, a horse-leading servant who was as thin as a monkey, to take Chen Sheng to "Ninomaru" for placement. And after he settled the guests, he went to tell Mr. Ning.
Kinoshita Tojiro agreed with a grin, and then respectfully asked Chen Sheng to follow him. From this person's figure and name, Chen Sheng had already guessed that he was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who would unify Dongying in the future. One of the task items, the "Golden Gourd Horse Mark", is about to be obtained by him, and he is naturally willing to deal with it more. So I didn't say a word, and I went.
After a short time, Kinoshita Tojiro led Chen Sheng into a very clean and elegantly furnished room. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, please wait here for a while." I'm going to find Mr. Ning. ”
Chen Sheng smiled: "Then don't worry. It's just dawn. Mr. Ning must not have gotten up yet, so there was no need to disturb him in such a hurry. Kinoshita Toyoshiro right? You might as well sit down and let's talk first, kill the time for a while, and then it's not too late to go to Mr. Ning. ”
Kinoshita Tojiro blinked his eyes and said happily: "That's a good dare." You're not welcome, sit down on the spot, but with a little impatience, you asked Chen Sheng: "Mr. Chen, you are from the Tang Kingdom." What kind of place is Tang Kingdom? I have heard that the Tang Kingdom is very wealthy. Ordinary people over there can also eat white rice. Is it true that even the stomach problems guarding the city gate can wear clothes made of silk on their bodies? ”
Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Tang Guo is indeed richer than Dongying. But there are poor people everywhere in this world, and there are rich people everywhere. And it will always be the rich who are in the minority, and the poor who are in the majority. Haha, Fujiyoshiro, you think the Tang Kingdom is rich, but do you know what those Europeans think of Dongying? ”
Kinoshita Toyoshiro said strangely: "Europeans? What do you call Europeans? ”
Chen Sheng smiled: "It's the Southern Barbarians you are talking about." They call the place where they live Europe. In the legend of the Southern Barbarians, Dongying is the land of gold, and there is gold everywhere here, so you can pick it up casually. That's why they have traveled thousands of miles for a year or two to come here from their own country just to make money. ”
Kinoshita Tojiro grinned and said, "Those Nanban people are so stupid. What a country of gold. It's not like it's a place where there are daily wars. Many peasants are so poor that they have never eaten white rice in their lives, and they have never even worn new clothes in their lives. I've heard that there are Kanayama on the Suruga and Kai sides, but the samurai on their side are not much better off than our Oda family. ”
After a pause, Kinoshita Tojiro said yearning and leisurely: "But gold is really a good thing." If I become rich in the future, I must build a house out of gold and live in it every day. And the bowl in which I eat and the gourd in which I drink water shall be made of gold. ”
Chen Sheng couldn't help but hahadaxiao and said, "Okay, have ambition." Then I wish you all the best of luck and realize this dream as soon as possible. ”
Kinoshita Tojiro woke up from his daydream, and then he was a little dejected, shook his head in frustration and said, "Alas~ It's really just a dream, let Mr. Chen, you see the joke." I'd love to be a samurai. But I'm so thin and small, no matter how I shoot archery and ride a horse, I can't compare to others. Not to mention slashing people with knives. Alas~ It seems that my life is just to carry shoes and lead horses for Nobuto. ”
Chen Sheng disagreed, and said, "There's no need to be arrogant." Fujiyoshiro, the figure is natural, but whether the brain is good or not, can be cultivated. Have you watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Inside......"
Kinoshita Tojiro looked dazed and said, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms? I've heard about it. It seems to be a book from the Tang Kingdom, right? But I haven't seen it. What's in it? ”
Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was no better than the future generations. In the later generations of Dongying Fusang, almost no one in the whole country did not know the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Movies, anime, comics, and games based on this theme...... More sweat cows, more than countless. However, the reason why the story of the Three Kingdoms became popular in Toei was after the Edo period. Prior to this, during the Warring States Period, there were not many people who knew the story of the Three Kingdoms, and it was limited to some cultural people such as monks and ministers.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Sheng asked: "I haven't watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", forget it. So Fujiyoshiro, you should know the story of Genyoshitsune, right? ”
Japan's Sengoku period is actually a popular name. From a formal historiographical point of view, this period actually belongs to the Muromachi shogunate period. Just like the two periods of history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, they are actually subordinate to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Before the Ashikaga family established the Muromachi shogunate, it belonged to the Kamakura shogunate. The person who established the Kamakura shogunate was called Minamoto Yorito, and Minamoto Yoshitsune was Minamoto Yorito's half-brother. Back then, the Yuan family and the peace family competed for the world. The person who actually led the army to destroy the Heike was actually Minamoto Yoshitsune. Because of this, his achievements were high, and Zuihou was finally persecuted to death by Minamoto Yorito. Because of the attribute bonus of the tragic hero on his body, for hundreds of years, the source of the Yijing has been popular with the common people, and the people have always talked about his story. Although Kinoshita Toyoshiro has not read any books, he also knows Gen Yoshitsune.
Seeing Kinoshita Tojiro nodded, Chen Sheng said again: "The source of Yoshitsu back then, although he was a samurai, his martial arts were actually very poor. It's not as good as the head of the Four Heavenly Kings under his command, Musashibo Benkei. But although Benkei's martial arts are high, he can only be a courtier for Yuan Yijing. Minamoto Yoshitsune defeated the Heike family, not by personal bravery, but by brains. Of course, courage is also essential. So Toyoshiro, you don't have to be discouraged. As long as you know how to use your mind wisely, and with a little courage, I absolutely believe that you will get ahead one day. ”
After a pause, Chen Sheng casually untied the Bizhong Ju that he had bought from his waist yesterday and had not had a chance to use it, and said with a smile: "Fujiyoshiro, although you are still only a servant of the lord of Oda who carries shoes and leads horses, but once the war breaks out, you will also go to the battlefield together." I'll give you this knife. When the time comes, you use it to chop off a few more heads on the battlefield and come back. With merit, Lord Oda will naturally promote you. Then you can gradually climb the xiangshang. Haha, I wish you to achieve your dream and live in a house made of gold as soon as possible. ”
