Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 193 The Imagawa Family's Plan

There are a total of 4235 people in the old and new armies of Omi, and it costs less than 2 Guan Yongle for a uniform change. As long as it is used to replace weapons and armor, the bad horses prepared by the Omi samurai are not within the scope of the change. They can understand this reason. After all, the Mikawa samurai are completely Out of production, the Omi samurai are still wealthy and land servants who retain the land, and if they are unwilling to give up the land, they can only accept relatively unfair treatment.

A total of more than 7000 people in these two armies have undergone a large-scale refitting of more than 5000 people. The armor and weapons that have been replaced, 2000 of which are well-preserved, are selected for storage, and the other 3 sets are half sold and half delivered to the shogunate. Fuji is worrying about the problem. Among his [-] troops, the strength of the powerful land servants only accounts for [-]%, and most of them come from recruiting soldiers from the village.

On the one hand, this is based on Kira Yoshishi’s suggestion, and he is determined to develop an elite team that is completely off-duty and trained by the shogunate. Serving is also difficult. With the 2000 sets of armor and weapons supported by the Kira family, the burden on the shogunate is greatly reduced. It only needs to bear the supply of soldiers and food, and send the directly subordinate shogunate to train and manage the shogunate army for the public.

As usual, the Kira family did not hold a New Year's visit, and replaced it with a New Year's appraisal meeting. Okochi Kunzuna took over the position of Ina Tadaka's family and became one of the main members of the worship group. The cooperation of the parents is good, and the preparation process of the Piwa House and the Money House also followed Matsui Yukan with excellent performance. When arranging the townspeople to enlist general labor, he was very active as Mitsui Toraka's assistant.

Tokihide Nakajo rushed back to Sakamoto Castle at the end of the first month to participate in the first evaluation meeting of the new year. After not seeing Tohide Nakajo for a year, he grew taller.The image has also changed from the original little boy to black and strong.After the assessment session is over.He also competed with Mitsuhide Yunlinyuan.

"Please!"

The two are also brothers of the same school. The first contest was very cautious. The two stood in the field with wooden knives wrapped in bamboo strips. They used special wooden knives to prevent injuries. After a while, Guangxiu of the Yunlin Institute suddenly smiled: "I heard that the younger brother has comprehended the ultimate meaning of the new trend at a young age. If Guangxiu wants to see it, the younger brother will invite him first!"

Nakajo Tokihide nodded slightly.Quickly stepping up and slashing down with the saber, the movement was understated without any warning, Mitsuhide Yunlin took a step back and quickly moved forward with the saber, Nakajo Tokihide swung the saber to meet each other, struck three times in a row and pushed away again, this pairing The game is only in the blink of an eye, and it is possible to miss the subtle changes in movement and footwork in the blink of an eye. Even the rookie Kira Yoshitoshi can see the difference.

Mitsuya Honda sat in the corner leaning on a small wooden gun, and whispered to Gengoro Watanabe, "It doesn't seem as good as last time!"

"I think so……"

"Idiot! Don't talk too much during the game!" Yamaoka Tokichang interrupted the whispers of his friends very shamelessly.

Yunlinyuan Guangxiu held the wooden knife sideways and walked swiftly like a galloping horse, facing Zhongtiao Shixiu with a heavy slash.Tokihide Nakajo brushed and blocked, and Mitsuhide Yunlinin cut out heavy swords one after another.The cutting speed of each knife is perfect, and the continuous slashing strikes are connected with reality, forcing Nakajo Tokihide to use secret skills.

"Hey!" With a loud shout, Tokihide Nakajo raised his saber and slashed back Yunlinyuan Mitsuhide's assault, and then cut his counterattack with a heavy cut, causing Yunlinyuan Mitsuhide's middle door to open wide, Nakajo Tokihide Seizing the opportunity, Xiu seized the opportunity to slam his sword, twisted his wrist with his left hand and turned into a black shadow stabbing with force.

"This is the wheel cut! Cut wheel cut cut cut suddenly! What a genius!" Yamamoto Tokyuki exclaimed.

"Huh? What kind of move is this?" Yoshitoki Kira pointed at Mitsuhide Yunlin-in and stepped back and turned the sword to thrust forward. Before Xiuhou retreated, the wooden knife was already against his chest.

Nakajo Tokihide stepped back resolutely and said, "Brother's swordsmanship is indeed superior to Tokihide's. Was that Kashima Kamitryu's immovable sword just now?"

"Yes! This is Kashima Kagami's immovable sword, and I can only use three points. The teacher told me that I have to practice this style for ten years." Yunlin Yuan Guangxiu nodded and admitted that he used the secret technique, and the new one was passed on. There are two schools of self-katori Shinto and Kashima Shinto, combining the great achievements of the two schools to create the new Dang-ryu, Tsukahara Buden is naturally proficient in the secret technique of Kashima Shinto, Fujian. Alone, he naturally learned not to move the sword.

"My swordsmanship is still much worse than that of my senior brother. It will be difficult to learn this style of moving the sword in a few years."

Yunlin Academy Guangxiu said: "Junior Brother, don't be depressed. With the understanding of Junior Brother, you must have already understood how far?" The two looked at each other and smiled.

At the end of January, the Mikawa Kira family sent people to donate money. The [-] kan was exactly half of the income of the Kira family after the entitlement was increased, and it was about the same amount after deducting various expenses. Since Ngee Ann was stranded in Junfu, the so-called Mikawa Kira's family is the original crew of the upper and lower two Kira's continued to live.

All of these retainers were driven to Omi, and the samurai who had nothing to do all day were busy making children. This year, no matter whether they are 40 or [-] years old, they have ushered in a new birth peak. It has only been two years since he surrendered to the Imagawa family, and many of his retainers have been depraved and greedy for enjoyment. They used to mention going to Kyoto to follow the master of the pavilion, but they have gradually stopped mentioning it in the past year.

Hearing this, Kira Yoshitoki smiled indifferently and said, "That's not bad, a group of genealogies with great ambitions and talents is the troublesome thing."

The Toe Asahina family, where the important minister of the Imagawa family belonged, was originally an officer of the Kira family in Toe, and was later incorporated by the Imagawa family. With the status of the elder of the family, he will be the second son of the Kira family, so he naturally has the plan to win over Kira's retainers.

I have met the retainers of Mikawa Kira, and I have to learn from the envoy of the Imagawa family. The envoy of the Imagawa family is Sekiguchi Ominaga who donated money to the shogunate. This gentleman is also an old acquaintance of Kira Yoshishi. Kiyonaga said: "I am under the order of my lord to seek a marriage proposal with His Highness Sakamoto."

Kirayoshi was stunned for a moment.He asked with a strange expression: "What do you mean. Imakawa Jibu wants to marry me? It's not enough to marry a daughter to my brother. Do you plan to marry another one to me?"

"Yes! Your Highness Sakamoto is the leader of the Kira family. If my Imagawa family can form a marriage with you, the relationship between the two families will be stronger!" Sekiguchi Kiyanagi said.

Yoshitoki Kira felt that the Imagawa family felt too good about themselves, he gave Tokiyuki Yamamoto a wink, and the latter said knowingly: "Cough...Although it's a bit presumptuous, I still have to say that my lord has already I have made a marriage with the younger sister of Jinwei Youfudian, and we will get married soon. The Imagawa family is still a step late!"

"What? How did this happen?" Sekiguchi Kiyonaga's expression couldn't hold back any longer, and he said in a panic, "What to do... what to do!" It seemed that he hadn't thought about such a thing before coming , or it may be that they are too confident in the Imagawa family, and really think that Kira Yoshi will definitely choose them.

"I, the Kira family, can only say that I am very sorry..."

"Impossible!" Sekiguchi Kinaga suddenly shouted: "Please withdraw your order, His Highness Sakamoto, my family's main hall sincerely wants to marry you!"

"Huh?" Yoshiki Kira frowned, looking unhappy, took out the bat fan, stared at the fan and frowned in thought, not sure if he was admiring the scenery or thinking about countermeasures.

Tokiko Yamamoto knocked on the case and said in displeasure: "Your Highness Sekiguchi! Please pay attention to your identity! As a samurai, how is it proper to do this! Come on! Your Highness Sekiguchi is tired..."

Sekiguchi Kanyong hurriedly said in a hurry: "I'm sorry! Your Highness Sakamoto! Although this is a bit exaggerated, please think again. My lord is sincerely married to His Highness Sakamoto!"

"What is the relationship between the woman that the Imagawa family intends to marry with the main family and Sekiguchi?" Yoshitomo Kira stared at him coldly, making Sekiguchi Kinaga feel as if he was a prey being targeted by a falcon.Just listening to Kira Yoshishi, he asked in a cold tone: "Could it be Sekiguchi's daughter?"

"How can this be..." Sekiguchi Kiyong subconsciously wanted to refute, but halfway through his words, he was scared back by the horrifying eyes, and stammered the truth: "It is indeed my little girl, but my little girl has long been A few years ago, she was adopted by the lord as an adopted daughter!"

"Enough! Your Highness Sekiguchi!" Tokyuki Yamamoto glared at him with a sullen face, and reprimanded him in a low voice: "What on earth is Imakawa Jibu thinking? Want to use an adopted daughter as the main wife of my Kira family? Be my Kira family What kind of family? A countryman from Sanhe? What a fantasy!"

"But..." Sekiko Kiyong said with a bitter face.

Tokiyuki Yamamoto said dissatisfied: "There is nothing wrong! Don't you know that the prestige of our family is far and wide, and the lord of our family, Kirayoshi Tokiden, is the No. That's a big mistake! The main wife of the main family is the daughter of the Fujiwara family's concubine, the Konoe family, do you understand?"

Sekiguchi Kiyong said unwillingly, "But if it's a concubine..."

"If it's a concubine, it's acceptable." Yoshishi Kira sneered at the corner of his mouth, gently twirling the fan in his hand, and said in a very casual tone: "However, His Highness Sekiko will definitely not be willing to have his daughter as the concubine of the main family?"

"This..." Guan Kouqin Yongnana for a long time, then reluctantly said: "Actually, it's not impossible..."

"So His Highness Sekiguchi's daughter is still reserved to marry someone from another family!" Yoshihiro Kira waved his sleeves, not giving him a chance to speak, but said meaningfully: "For example, the little governor of the Sanhe Matsudaira family, It seems to be called Matsudaira Takechiyo? It is said that he is also a disciple of Master Taiyuan Xuezhai!"

"How can this be possible! That Matsudaira family is from a humble family!" Sekiguchi retorted angrily, "Whatever you say, my Sekiguchi family is also a branch of the Imagawa family!"

"Since His Royal Highness Sekiguchi doesn't like this, then..." Kira Yoshishi ignored his expression, and said with a smile, "This matter is still left to your master! The position of the main family of the family has already been determined, and you Imagawa's family will be the next one." How to deal with it? Your Highness Sekikou should be carrying an important mission this time!"

"...Yes!" Seeing that he was dismantled from head to toe, Sekiguchi Kiyonaga also admitted in a very lonely way: "I am very sorry for the offense just now! This time, my lord ordered me to enter into a marriage with His Highness Sakamoto. Because the lord's family no longer has a princess, so I adopted the little girl as the princess of the Imagawa family and promised His Highness Sakamoto..."

Tokiyuki Yamamoto took the opportunity to intimidate: "It's just that it is impossible for my family to accept this proposal, and His Highness Sekiguchi is not willing to go back and return to his life like this. If this happens, how will His Highness Sekikou deal with himself?"

"This..." At this time, Sekikou Kiyong was very embarrassed, his face was twitching like a bitter gourd, and he looked very painful as he rubbed his sleeves with his hands. The way ahead was blocked by Kira Yoshishi's words. At this moment, even if he wanted to bow his head and subdue his daughter into a concubine, it would be impossible.

But he bears the strict order of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and he himself patted the pleadings. If this matter is not done, it will be terrible. Thinking of this, he can't help but regret his recklessness. It seems that he underestimated this in the past Little baby, I didn't expect him to be so cunning, he hit his vitals in one hit, making him lose ground.

"I don't want to embarrass you, but this proposal is really difficult to satisfy my family!" Yoshitoki Kira didn't seem to want to waste time, so he changed the subject and suggested: "How about this! How about another candidate?"

"Change the candidate?" Guan Kouqin Yong was stunned, shook his head and said, "Is it possible to change the candidate?"

What he meant was that the princess of his Jinchuan family is not a cabbage on the street, so he can change it at will, and his daughter didn't get married because of his mistake, so how should he deal with himself in the future?Could it be that he really wants to marry a native child of the Sanhe family, a family he despises?

"That's right! Choose another person! Isn't the daughter of the Sekiguchi family the princess of the Imagawa family? Anyway, even if this marriage is formed, it is still a secret agreement. No outsiders know about it yet, so even if you plan to marry another family, it is okay! " Ji Liangyi said in a persuasive and persuasive manner.

"That's true!" Sekiguchi Chiyong moved a little, thinking of the candidate and hesitated: "But which candidate should I change?"

"Of course you can't be from the same family of the Imagawa family, otherwise how will His Highness Sekiguchi and Qianjin deal with each other?" Yoshitoki Kira said with a smile.

"Yes! If it is the daughter of the Horikoshi family, not only will I be ashamed, but the hall will not be happy!" The Horikoshi family is the most important branch of the Imagawa clan, the Toe Imagawa clan, whose ancestor is the famous deputy general Imagawa Jun, but this family has always been at odds with the clan. From Yizhong, Shiqin, Shihui, to Jinchuan Yiyuan, the four generations have not stopped rebelling against the clan. (To be continued..)
