Chapter 1: Returning to the hometown in fine clothes
At the end of March in the second year of Yonglu, the cherries are in full bloom, and the wind and sun are beautiful on this day, and the sky is high and the clouds are light.
Although it is early spring, the weather is still cold, especially in Yuanjiang Kingdom, which is adjacent to the sea and adjacent to the lake. On this day, several groups of people came up on the streets of the city.
The first group was small, about twenty or thirty people, all of them were saber and arrow-crossing envoys, all of them were exposed, their appearance was fierce, their eyes swept everywhere, revealing a fierce momentum, and at first glance it was the Lang Party who had been fighting for a long time.
There was a village on the side of the road, and the head of the village was sitting at the door of the village chatting with his officers, and when he saw this team of horses, he didn't pay much attention.
Nowadays, thieves are frequent, although the three countries of the Tokaido are not as chaotic as the neighboring Shinshu, but last winter was also a constant rush, so twenty or thirty horsemen passed by, it stands to reason that this Baoji Zhuang head should bring someone to stop the road, carefully interrogating the origin, but this Zhuang head just casually swept the team of envoys a few times, and that's it, and didn't want to ask this group of Lang Party at all.
This is not because he is afraid of slackness, but now Saku County is heavily guarded, and all the villages, camps, and towns along the way are guarded by county soldiers, and thousands of banners and their own teams are all in exile.
After a few bloody battles, the moon suppressed the riots that had not yet gathered to start an incident, and the Xiyuan River was subdued, and the bandits and thieves in the county all fled to the country of Sanhe, and for a time it was Haiyan Jiangqing.
Not only that, but the county keeper Asahina Gencho also led troops out of the country, and successively pacified the eight counties of Mikawa Province and the two counties of Atsumi, and burned the Zenxiu Temple to the soldiers, and asked the Pure Land Shinshu to disband the 'shoku' of the two counties, otherwise they would continue to march to the temple, and as soon as the news came out, it could be said that it was a shock to the countries of the East China Sea.
The soldiers and horses of Junfu entered the country of three rivers again, not only the eleven branches of the Pure Land True Sect were terrified, but also the wealthy families of the country of three rivers were frightened, and they sent people to Changxiao City to ask for guilt.
However, in order to save face, he still sent the prison to Shunfu Castle to impeach the disgusting contempt for Buddhism such as the head of the Asahina Moto, but no one with a discerning eye can see that the temple is to ask for forgiveness, otherwise it will really be burned down a few more Buddhist temples, that is, it will really spare the lives of the people of Mikawa Province and launch a rebellion against the Imagawa family, what can it be?
On the Shinshu side, there were rumors that the Imagawa army had slaughtered the city without calculation and killed Yingye, and even the monks of the Rinzai sect were looted, and they almost didn't save their lives.
Although it was instructed by the same sect of the Shinshu Pure Land True Sect, the monks of the temple still felt sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and they did not dare to guarantee that the Imagawa army would not come to Mikawa Province like this.
Under such a prestigious martial name, don't say that there are only twenty or thirty horsemen riding horses, how about doubling it?
Therefore, although he saw these plagiarists coming on horseback, this village insurance company didn't feel the need to care.
Besides, this Bao Si Zhuang has been in charge of the village for a long time, and he has seen a lot of Haoyou who has come and gone from the south to the north, and he has a lot of eyesight, and he can see at a glance that these thirty horsemen must be the Lang Party raised by the famous samurai family in Tokaido.
Because one of their armor, armament, and mounts are all excellent, and the style and saddle bridle are the same, and the other is clearly layered in the march, which cannot be done after long-term military training, and the flag is raised behind it, and it is written that 'Nangong is full of Suwa Damingjin', it is definitely not a first-class horse thief and bandit, not an elite horse man, and the Dharma Protector Monks and soldiers raised in the courtyard by the temple sect.
Speaking of which, Tokaido does not produce good horses, although there are not a few people who have horses and monks in the temples and temples, but it is also rare to have so many elite envoys to accompany them, except for the Hinashi clan of the Kakegawa and Ujiyama dynasties, the Ogasawara family of the High Tenjin Castle, which relies on the bow horse heirloom, can have so many horses.
The last time so many envoys passed by, it was three months ago, and the horses in the county soldiers were ordered to chase down the thieves.
The head of this Bao Si Zhuang got up lazily, turned his eyes to look in the direction of the envoy when he came, and said in his heart, "When I arrived at my village just now, a few people from this group of envoys turned their horses and ran back, if it was not bad, when I went back to report to the back, dozens of horsemen opened the way, and this kind of power is about to catch up with the prestige of last year's Kira family visit to the Jun Mansion... From the direction of Mikawa... I got it from the Mikawa Matsudaira clan, and I didn't pass by the county? ”
There are still such powerful wealthy families in the country of Xiyuanjiang and Mikawa, except for the peaceful castle family of the Matsudaira clan, the banner head of Ximikawa, there is no other countryman who can do this.
Looking at the getting late sky, and estimating the distance, Junfu has its own laws and regulations for the people of the foreign countries who participate in the pilgrimage, and they are not allowed to enter the city to rest at will, not only to ensure the safety of the city, but also to distinguish it from the treatment of the retainers of the spectrum.
When the Kira family visited Sunfu, they were not allowed to enter Saku Castle as usual, but after all, the Kira clan was the Imagawa clan, and the imperial family of the shogunate was able to trespass slightly.
However, although the Matsudaira clan married the Sunfu genealogy Yoyo Sena clan and became a family, after all, it was not married to the Imagawa clan, and there was still no treatment to enter the city to rest.
This head of the village is busy with the errand officer next to him, back to the village to clean the house, in case it is really a wealthy family who wants to stay overnight, so as not to be hasty and rude when he gets it, the head of the village of Bao Si ushered in the passing wealthy family, which is also an important criterion for assessing merit, so he must be so careful.
After waiting for a while, he stood by the road with the servants of a village, and saw from a distance that the team of envoys could ride on the road, and smoke and dust were everywhere.
After waiting for a while, a large group of people approached.
This group of men and horses was different from the previous envoys, one was that there were far more people than those envoys, and roughly speaking, there were almost more than a hundred people.
In addition to the entourage, there were seven or eight chariots in the team, and several Zen masters with monks' robes and shoes, and shaved hair. Obviously, not all of the wagons were used to carry people, and most of the wheels were very deep in the earth, as if they were loaded with heavy goods.
This Zhuang head hesitated, could it be that his own guess was wrong, and said in his heart, "Isn't it the Matsudaira clan of the Three Rivers Country, but the wealthy businessman who came to my Yuanjiang Country to do business?" ”
And now the world is restless, no matter how businessmen are outside, it is normal to bring more guards, and although the status of today's wealthy businessmen is not high, they can be covered by wealth and luxury, but they are also raised by the Jingyonglang Party.
Whether it is the people of Haoyou, or the businessmen, twenty or thirty horsemen can be released, but these hundred and ten people passing by the village can not come forward to ask, otherwise they will be held by the flag team patrolling the streets behind, and it will not look good.
