different warring states of japan

Chapter 370
The cultural literacy of martial arts is generally not high.

Since Ashikaga Yoshimitsu slaughtered the emperor's court, most of the foundations of Japanese culture have been broken.

Gongqing is cut off from the cultural context mastered by Shintoism, leaving only the Buddhist lineage with some self-cultivation.

In the samurai society where force is called female, the education rate is not low, and literacy and numeracy are the basis for managing territories.

But in Ji Wushi's view, the arts of ape music and songs are not as good as practicing martial arts more.

When you go out to battle, will your opponent stand up and let you chop because you sing well and Yuanle dances well?

Not doing business properly!

But it was these two Ji warriors who were not doing their jobs properly, which made the first two lords lose face.

Fortunately, they are all the closest people around, so don't worry about it, otherwise you will have to wear small shoes when you go back.

The banquet was disturbed by this episode and became cold for a while. At this time, the outside world came to report, and Nobuzuna Umizumi came to visit.

Yiyin was taken aback.

Since Nobuzuna Umizumi resigned as a swordsmanship teacher, he has long ignored the affairs of the shogunate, and rarely interacted with the samurai family.

The innovation Yinliu is also deeply rooted because she and Yagyu Zongyan were two generations of swordsman teachers who served Ashikaga Yoshiki.

The more this is the case, the more she avoids suspicion, lest she will fall into disputes among the martial arts and lose the current good situation.

Such a cautious old woman, how could she come to find herself?
It was Uesugi Terutora who said something.

"Shangquan Juggernaut is said to be from Ueno, Kanto. I have admired him for a long time, and I don't want to meet Kenshin here."

Yi Yin's heart moved, he had some thoughts, and said with a smile.

"Then invite her to come in and meet Mrs. Shangshan."

Soon afterwards, Nobuzuna Umizumi came to the banquet, walking steadily and rhythmically, kowtowing on the ground when they met.

Although the old sword master is old, his swordsmanship has not fallen. If old age and frailty are not mentioned, his swordsmanship should be the best in the world.

"Nobuzuna Umizumi has seen the two Highnesses."

The martial artist Wanshi is famous and can be called His Highness, and the Sibo Shangshan family is a big boss with hundreds of thousands of stones.

Although the old sword master is superb in swordsmanship, in the eyes of the martial arts, the status of the swordsman is far inferior to that of the orthodox martial arts, so it is common sense to accept the head.

Yiyin smiled and said.

"Shangquan Sword Master is safe and sound."

Umizumi sighed.

"When I first saw Mr. Kenshin, I knew you were extraordinary, but I didn't expect you to be so brave and amazing."

The Juggernaut could indeed speak, and he was worthy of serving the general. Yiyin smiled and nodded at her.

Aside, Uesugi Terutora asked with great interest.

"I heard that Shangquan Sword Master has created a dark current by himself, and his swordsmanship is superb. He is a first-class master. Are you interested in coming to my Echigo building to pass on his art?"

Nobutsuna Shangizumi shook his head and apologized.

"His Royal Highness Shangshan loves me, I am already old, I am afraid I can't help you with the matter of passing on the arts.

If Your Highness does not give up, I would like to recommend a few disciples to go to Echigo to open a swordsmanship dojo. "

Shangshan Huihu clapped his hands and said.

"Good, that's it."

She is keen on martial arts, whether it is battle formation or swordsmanship.

Nobuzuna Kamizumi said a few words modestly, then bowed to Shiba Yoshigin.

"I heard that Lord Kenshin is going to go to Echigo, can you take the old woman along?"

"The Juggernaut is going to Echigo?"

"No.

As I get older, these days I always think of my childhood, just wanting to return to my roots.

Traveling with His Highness is to go to Ueno through Echigo and return to his hometown. "

Yiyin nodded, and understood the purpose of the Juggernaut.

The world has become more and more chaotic these years, and accidents often occur when going out.

Kamizumi Nobutsuna has excellent swordsmanship, but he is an old man after all, and he still feels apprehensive about walking the Kanto alone.

At this time, Yiyin was on an envoy to the Kanto region. He had a noble status, and he was accompanied by Banner Banner, so he could go with him.

At the beginning, Yoshihiro and Maeda were interested in Shangluo, and they mostly stayed in the castle town. They would rather camp in the abandoned shrine than live in villages along the way.

Because the grassroots of the samurai society is extremely chaotic, they are most afraid of encountering a fallen samurai hunter.

The Wu family regards civilians as pigs and dogs, exploiting and humiliating wantonly.Snatch food, humiliate male relatives, and kill those who refuse to obey.

The civilians did not dare to resist the local samurai family. Although the various families continued to conquer, but when encountering a villager Yi Kui who wanted to rebel, they all made concerted efforts to kill them all, without giving a chance to stand out.

But if the samurai family was defeated and fled, or a foreign Ji samurai passed by, it would be different.

No one cares about the disappearance of these samurai families, and gradually a dark ambush behavior called "falling samurai hunting" has gradually emerged.

Facing the lonely warrior Ji, these usually obedient villagers will turn into evil spirits and capture them with fishing nets, animal traps, traps and other tools.

Everything on the captured warrior Ji would be taken away, not a trace of decency was left, and he was tortured to death naked.

If it is a samurai who is defeated and fled, he can even use his head to reward the victor for more benefits.

Out to mix, sooner or later have to repay.

When Ji warriors bullied the villagers wantonly and played with them as pigs and dogs, did they ever think about the end of being eaten by livestock?

Therefore, the samurai are afraid that if they fall into the samurai hunt, they will lose their lives and even their dignity. This is the cruel consequence of excessively oppressing civilians.

Nobutsuna Kamiizumi is getting old, and he misses his hometown, so he naturally wants to go back safely.

If you didn't meet Yiyin, you might have to bite the bullet and go on the road, just be careful.

But since Mr. Kenshin was going to take the Hokuriku Road, he had the audacity to beg to go with him.

Shiba Yoshigin and Uesugi Terutora went out, and there were no fewer than sixty elite warriors.

Then pull on the tiger skin deterrence of the shogunate, and the daimyo will also restrain the localities when passing through various places, so as to prevent accidents.

Uesugi Terotora was able to come, so he was prepared on the road, and the footholds were all prepared. It was safest to go out with this group of high-ranking warriors.

Yoshiyin probably understood the reason for Nobuzuna Kamizumi's visit, nodded and smiled.

"Shangquan Sword Master intends to go with him, it is a good thing that cannot be asked for, and I will not shirk it.

Let's go tomorrow morning, okay? "

Nobutsuna Umizumi bowed his thanks.

"Xie Qian Xingong, follow His Highness's instructions."

Turning around, he said to Uesugi Terutora again.

"His Royal Highness Uesugi, I will go back and recruit a few outstanding disciples, and we will go on the road together tomorrow to build a sword hall in Echigo."

Uesugi Terutora laughed and nodded.

"Good, the old Juggernaut speaks quickly, it suits my taste, so let's do that."

Yiyin couldn't help smiling.

Nobuzuna Kamiizumi is always looking for opportunities and opening up a way out for Xinyinliu.

Teruhu Uesugi expressed her interest just now, and she took advantage of the opportunity to finalize the sword hall.

Thinking back to the matter of Yagyu Zongyan, did the sword sage know that Yagyu was the shogunate daimotsuko, so he would entrust the Xinyinliu career.

People are old and mature, and should not be underestimated.It is not a loss for Yiyin to take advantage of the opportunity of his peers to make friends with such heroes.

After finishing the business, invite Nobuzuna Ueizumi to join us for a few drinks.

The old sword master was also a funny character, and his witty remarks made the scene warm up again. After that, Zhu Ji drank for a while before breaking up the banquet.

We're leaving tomorrow, so it's not too late.

The two lords, Yiyin and Shangshanhuihu, don't have to worry about trivial matters, but their subordinates are busy with everything.

That night, Yiyin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

In the past few years, the revival of Shiba's house and the land of [-] shi have been dreamlike spring, summer, autumn and winter.

To temporarily leave the foundation he had built and go to the unfamiliar Kanto, Yiyin also felt hesitant.

But he is no longer the social animal who had nothing at the beginning and lived on idly.The great chaos in the Kanto region presents both danger and opportunity.

There were so many thoughts in my heart, it was hard to calm down, and I fell asleep after a long time of drowsiness.

When the return is near, I don't know what a new scene will be.Is the golden scale a thing in the pool, it will transform into a dragon as soon as it enters the Kanto.
