Chapter 15 The East China Sea Famous Eup, Junfu Castle
Kuniji Mototsuna took those samurai from last night and waited at the gate of the city early, in addition to them, there were more than a dozen people from various families who came to inquire to bid him farewell together.
Oi Mori stepped forward and took their parting gifts. At the time of parting, it is also the custom of the world to send Sichuan capital to be strong.
The poor family relied on this money to travel the road, and for the wealthy family, the money was not a real gift, but because the road was not quiet, the money was used for pedestrians to worship the seven gods of good fortune to the shrines and temples passing by, begging for 'seven tribulations to be destroyed, seven clothes to be born', and the trip could be safe.
It is very dangerous to ride a horse or ride a car, and accidents such as falling horses and crashing cars have occurred frequently. Fujiwara Michitsuna, the cousin of Michicho Fujiwara Michicho in Midoseki, was injured in a car crash when he was young, and was ridiculed as 'demented and illiterate' by his political rival Fujiwara Minoshi.
The nobles and nobles are not immune to this road misfortune, and it is not surprising that ordinary people beg for the protection of gods and Buddhas.
Guosi Yuangang gave a hundred dollars as an elder, and the rest of the people were ten yuan, and the old man sent by Gao Shiyi to see him off on his behalf gave the most and gave a small gold sentence.
This is the friendship of relatives in the family, Gao Shisheng did not refuse, and when the Oi Sheng Dynasty collected all the money, he boarded the carriage and said in return, "Lord Guoshi, all the younger brothers, please stay, go down." ”
In front and on the left and right sides, the envoys who had originally led the horses to stop mounted their horses, each mounted their horses, Oi Sheng ascended the castle to drive, and Tateishi put down the rolled up bamboo curtains. This team was much less riders than when they came yesterday, and in the eyes of everyone, they went away towards the morning glow.
Shimazaki Keishin, Kitajo Shengzhong and others escorted two heavy wagons, followed closely behind, and walked east along the street to Sunfu Castle.
From Yinma Castle to Sunfu, a total of nine counties of Yuanjiang and Suruga have to be passed. If ordinary pedestrians take such a pass, not to mention the dozens of military stations and customs stations that are checked along the way, if there is no document issued by the county, I am afraid that they will not even be able to get out of the county, and they will be driven away by the patrol ashigaru as a floating wave, and they will not even be able to find a place to stay.
Fortunately, Gao Shisheng went to Junfu Castle to visit the Hajj as a wealthy family, and when he was hungry and thirsty on the way, he could take a break at the township customs office or the town.
Because there was no drag on foot, the speed of the crowd was faster, until the twilight of the third day, when they arrived at Junfu City.
Junfu City was originally the place where the national capital was located during the order system, and there were many famous martial artists in the county, and there were many wealthy merchants, and the population was the highest in all counties of the Three Kingdoms.
As soon as I entered Arito-gun, the streets gradually increased. The fields on the side of the road stretched as far as the eye could see, the manor towered in the distance, and dozens or hundreds of peasants and disciples scattered the fields nearby. A scarf-wrapped priest sat at the top of the field, behind him stood two or three men with forks and sticks, and a large crowd of people fell to their knees, as if they were breaking the earth.
Whether it was the head of Bao Sizhuang or the people, they saw Gao Shisheng and his party at a glance, and then turned back to the original matter.
Gao Shisheng and his entourage of more than 30 people, riding on horses, most of them carrying bows and knives, if this was in a small place like Pingshan Township, it would have provoked the villagers to bow down and bow down, that is, Zasajiu City, Yinma City, they are not often a samurai regiment of this size.
The military station that patrols the road has already sent people to stop it for careful questioning, but this Zhuang head and the people only glanced at it, and they didn't look at it more, which shows how many chariots and horsemen usually come and go here.
As a group of merchants and lottuses marched forward, but it was not outdated, and Junfu City was in full view.
As the saying goes, "big castles are hard to defend", Sunfu Castle, like the prosperous flat castles of Kyoto and Itsunori Castle, is divided into two areas, the castle town and the pavilion, rather than the entire castle town as in Odawara Castle.
The outer castle of the Guardian is also said to be the castle town that Sunfu does not have, and there is no enclosed tall castle wall, and only Imagawakan has a strong fortification, and the two together are Sunfukan Castle.
Although the castle town is open, as the foundation of the Imagawa family's painstaking management for 200 years, Sunfu Ribo is also a protective area of the "Kolun Wall Kuo", and the area of the "Korinbo" is very large, and not only the local people of Sunfu live in the "Kowawa", but also the cultural buildings such as temples and shrines are also located in the "Korinbo" outside the castle.
As a result, the large and small kowakura, the temple shrine, and the moat that surrounds the entire castle around Imagawakan are actually the outer castles of Sunfu. A military house was set up at a critical place, and the Huijian group and the Tongxin people were stationed to maintain law and order, and flags were fluttering on the Kun Lu, and more than a dozen flags with guns and armor were standing on both sides of the Otemen Gate.
After passing through the Xunlutai platform, and then passing through several curved wheels that obviously belong to the city defense, I have not yet recovered from the seven bends and eight winding roads, and countless noisy and lively sounds have been noisy into my ears.
It is a kind of castle defense facility, it is a stone building that combines a kind of house and a tower, and is mostly used in the defense of the flat city, and is widely built in various places inside and outside the city, and is used as a garrison for the army in peacetime, and it becomes a small fortress for the enemy during the battle.
They came in from the north gate, and most of the cities in Junfu were in the southwest, and most of them were in the Lifang where the families of the soldiers and ashigaru lived.
Hayato Hasegawa, Oi Morito, Shimazaki Keishinobu and others had never been to Sunfu, and they were dumbfounded, and Tateishi Taki was also attracted to attention.
I saw a street straight and wide, large enough to accommodate five chariots in parallel, with passers-by on both sides and riding in the middle of the road. Ditches were dug on both sides of the roadside for drainage, isolated by stone barriers, and fences were set up in the open space on the outside to store domestic animals such as chickens, ducks, dogs, etc.
The merchant seat faces the street, and all kinds of banners are raised high, and from time to time people go in and out together, and sometimes there are drunken drinkers shaking out. Among the pedestrians, there is no shortage of samurai with swords; Riding on the galloping car, many nobles.
Gao Shisheng is accustomed to seeing the prosperous field, and has also served in Junfu, which is the most insipid among the people, followed by Aoki Dashan and Beizhuang Shengzhong, two ronins who beg for food in this 'remote' place in the north of the city.
Gao Shisheng raised the curtain of the car and said, "The Imagawa Pavilion is in the east of the city, there is a distance from here, and the two days are very urgent, and the big guys are tired. ”
And they answered his promise, and gathered around him, and went out into the streets. When I walked up, I found that the street was as solid as hard soil. The road surface is also paved with river pebbles, which are mixed with the Udo method, and the wheels and horses' hooves clatter when they press on it.
Hasegawa Hayato was speechless and said, "Such a large Junfu Castle and such a wide road, how many laborers must be mobilized to build it!" ”
