Chapter 68: Uesugi Nobutsuna

Yagyu Somoto, who had left the barren mountain, was a little confused, and he didn't know why he would suddenly let him leave.

It stands to reason that some kind of secret recipe should not be taught to him at this time?

There are also some fantasies Yagyu Sogen smiled bitterly in his heart, he has never understood his old thoughts, as if he didn't know why he always accepted him as an apprentice?

Now he doesn't know why the teacher kicked him out?

However, no matter what, Yanagi Zongyuan knew that he had no way out, he could only face it head-on, and as the teacher said, since he chose, don't regret it.

He walked slowly towards Kamisen Castle, the heart of Musashi Province and the base camp of the Uesugi family, whom the nobles called the commoner daimyos.

Speaking of the Uesugi family, I have to say that they are a gas machine, the only legendary family that has transformed from a commoner family to a daimyo family in just over two hundred years since the establishment of Fuso.

You must know that the class level of Fusang is clearly divided, although there is a saying that the following is over, but under the interference of extraordinary forces, there are very few people who really do it, so the high-level power of Fusang has always been circulating in the hands of those dozen families.

No matter how hard a civilian genius tried, at most he could only make his family promote to a martial artist, this is a ceiling, and it has always taken more than a hundred years for a martial artist to go further after "purifying" his own bloodline through marriages with nobles again and again.

But the Uesugi family did not, this family from the establishment to the founding of the country, it took more than 200 years, and there were not too many nobles who married, and the whole country can be said to be built independently by the Uesugi family, and it is precisely for this reason that the legendary name of the Uesugi family spread throughout Fuso.

And when it comes to the prayers of the Uesugi family, it is impossible not to mention Uesugi Nobutsuna, a strong man who was known as the No. 1 Sword Saint of Fuso three hundred years ago.

Uesugi Nobutsuna, also known as Kamiizumi Ise Mamoru Hidetsuna, was originally a commoner's child named Musashi Goro, who later studied with a Yamano Kenhao.

Fortunately, his teacher was summoned by the emperor to perform martial arts shortly after accepting him, successfully defeated his opponent, and was given the status of a samurai, and the accompanying Musashi Goro, because of his excellent kendo talent, was also given the surname Uesugi and changed his name to Hidetsuna, and later he devoted himself to the study of swordsmanship, and after becoming a samurai, he changed his name to Shintsuna.

As the source of the legendary family of the Uesugi family, Uesugi Nobutsuna became a sword master at the age of thirty, and spent three or four years guarding the emperor, while escorting the family, and when he left the family at the age of sixty to pursue a higher realm, he used his own merits combined with the family accumulation, from the emperor in exchange for a piece of 200,000 Zhixing close to the wilderness area.

At that time, most people thought that Uesugi Nobutsuna was stupid, because the territory he chose was notoriously barren, called 200,000, but in fact it could really be used less than 100,000, and it was very barren, and the grain output was only about 70% of the normal land.

And there are often monsters that come out, even if Uesugi Nobutsuna can kill monsters, but that kind of barren and remote place can't develop at all without a few decades.

What happened later was just like the speculation of those nobles, and the three generations of the Uesugi family worked hard and worked hard to reluctantly develop the territory so that all the 200,000 Zhixing could be used.

And at this time, a city lord on the side also had the idea of picking peaches.

Close to the so-called wild land, although the area of this city lord's Zhixing is larger than that of the Uesugi family, the quality of the territory is obviously not very good, plus the family has a large population, and they are used to being pampered, and there is not much research on the development of the bottom, so the national economy has always been half-dead, and the food produced is not as much as the Uesugi family.

After the spies reported that the Uesugi family only had less than 10,000 ashigaru and less than 2,000 elites, they were naturally tempted, and after finding a reason at random, they sent 20,000 ashigaru and 5,000 elites, known as 30,000 ashigaru, and 10,000 elites to attack the Uesugi family.

But I didn't expect that the Uesugi family, which seemed to be bent on developing itself on weekdays and was regarded as fat by the city lord, actually hid more than a dozen swordsmen, these swordsmen who practiced Uesugi Shintsuna and left swordsmanship, wandered around as a wild swordsman on weekdays, nominally to teach disciples, collect finances to establish a dojo, but in fact, they were collecting intelligence for the Uesugi family and training the assault army all the time.

Therefore, the city lord who was calculating, after more than a dozen swordsmen and hundreds of swordsmen worked together to break the army's defense line and cut off the grain and grass transportation channel, he was defeated again and again, and the soldiers who were originally less than 30,000 directly lost most of them in the normal battle.

Most of the family's heritage turned into flowing water, and the entire family naturally became a stepping stone for the Uesugi family, and the territory was also annexed by the Uesugi family, becoming part of the current Musashi Province, laying the most solid foundation for the Uesugi family to build a country.

The identity of the ancestors of the Uesugi family, as well as the sharing that the swordsmen once made for the founding of the country, the spread of kendo in Musashi Province was naturally very prosperous, and countless young people listened to the stories of the swordsmen and swordsmen, and walked into the dojo to learn kendo with enthusiasm and hope.

Even the reason why Yagyu Sogen met his teacher was because he heard the story of the Sword Master and the Sword Hero, and wanted to go outside to find the Yamano Sword Hero.

However, with more gyms, there will naturally be more competition.

The current Musashi Province No. 1 Provincial Museum is the Kida Yinryu where the Kisada Keikan is located, and although it has not been established for a long time, it is strong and is known as the inheritance of the Uesugi Yinryu orthodoxy.

And the reason why Keikan Kaida issued a war letter to Yagyu Sogen was also because Yagyu Sogen accidentally killed a swordsman who was exempted from the Tsunami Swordsman.

It's also unlucky to say, since Yagyu Sogen was rumored to be able to kill ghosts with a wooden knife, people will challenge him from time to time.

The swordsman who received the title of Wai Zhi Zhi was not weak, and the two of them used their strongest sword moves against each other in the end, and Yanagi Sogen couldn't hold back his hand when he fought against him.

The swordsman who had just been granted the exemption was passed on died within a few days, which was undoubtedly a great blow to the prestige of the Yin Stream of the Boiling Field.

In order to prove that it was not the strength of the Kitian Yin Stream, the swordsmen of the Kitian Yin Stream deliberately targeted the killing moves performed by Yagyu Sogen, and after finding traces that did not conform to the kendo, they degraded the kendo that Yagyu Sogen learned as an evil crooked way, and maliciously distorted and slandered it.

At that time, Yagyu Sogen had already returned to the barren mountain and did not know it.

Seeing that no one came out to refute, the swordsmen of the Yin Stream of Kisada intensified, and the insults and slanders became more serious, and by the time this matter reached the ears of Yagyu Somoto, it had already become Keita Keikane's speech, demanding that Yagyu Sogen admit that he had defeated the swordsman who was exempted from all the swordsmen by dishonoring methods.

If you don't want to, you can go to the Kaitian Yinliu Gym in Shangquan City to challenge Kaida Keikane.
