Pillars of the Wu family

It was midsummer and the sun was burning like fire. Echigo had just experienced a few heavy rains in June. The ravines in the mountain streams were lush and green, and the vegetation jumped up unknowingly. The dense leaves covered the blue sky. The summer of Echigo The rain is so dense that the townspeople in the castle town are busy drying their clothes and bedding when the sun is shining.

Kasuga Mountain City ushered in another couple's wedding. This time the protagonists became Hosokawa Fujitaka and Numata Musk. Lolita has endured nearly ten years of hard work and finally achieved fruition. Unknowingly, Hosokawa Fujitaka is also 25 years old. He used to have hairy lips. The young man with two glossy beards looks extraordinarily majestic now, and half a year of sudden and intensive exercise has supported his thin body a lot, so he won't look like a weak scholar.

His newlywed wife was married by Hosokawa Fujitaka as soon as she reached Jiji's age. It can be seen that Hosokawa Fujitaka was still a little anxious. Kirayoshi was seven years younger than him, and now all three wives are pregnant. Son, but he is still a bachelor, and what he sees and hears every day is a group of married fathers showing off their sexual affairs, how can he bear it, at least he can live and fly with his wife in a serious way today.

This couple is not the most excited person at the wedding, the most excited is Numata Mitsukane, who relied on his own family to give birth to a bunch of good daughters, jumping up and down among the guests attending the wedding banquet, but everyone had to sell him This face, even if you don't look at Numata Mitsukane's face, you have to give his sons-in-law face.

Kira Yoshitoki turned a blind eye to all of this, smiled and sent blessings to the couple who were ten years apart, and then left the table with the potbellied Tiger Princess. With his current status, he could no longer hang out with his retainers for dinner like before chat.As long as there is a banquet with him, it will always seem a little restrained.

Go back to the palace.Hu Ji felt a little sleepy with her stomach puffed out.He didn't want to let go of his husband, so he leaned on Kira Yoshitoki's arms for a lunch break. After spending time with his pregnant wife for a long time, he developed the habit of taking a nap. A gust of wind blew past and a famous female ninja appeared. She put down a document and quickly retreated. The whole process took only a few breaths, so that the busy maids outside the courtyard didn't notice anything unusual.

Yoshishi Kira turned sideways, picked up the document and unfolded it to see that it was a summary of the intelligence of the last few days.It has been more than a month since Nakajo Tokihide captured Rita County, and he sent documents to Echigo one after another, asking Kira Yoshitoki to ask for support and help, etc., and talking about his envy for his colleagues in Echigo We hope that we can be transferred to Echigo Fenggong as soon as possible.

In the final analysis, it was just Nakajo Tokihide's actions to show that he was determined. He acted without authorization to detain the shogunate angels, raided the Hexagon Army camp and captured 5000 people. In terms of the gains and losses of this operation, it must be that the Kira family has made a lot of money.Suppress potential enemies to strengthen yourself, and also take this opportunity to warn the young people in Jinai.Don't think that the Kira family is easy to bully in Echigo because the days are declining, it's just that we haven't shown our fangs.

Such a blatant action caused so much trouble. It is impossible to say that Yoshihide Kira was not angry. When Tokihide Nakajo was preparing to act, he did not know about it until the information from Hattori Baochang was sent by Asuka. It was only later that I learned the general details. At that time, the night battle of guarding the mountain had already been finished, and it was meaningless for him to convict him again. [

"Should I transfer my master to Omi? The weather in Omi is warm and suitable for the elderly to take care of... well, I'm afraid there are some problems. The reason why Hattori Baochang was sent to Omi may not be known to outsiders, but Pu Daizhong is clear about it." It is clear that the master craftsman withstood the siege of 11 Ichikui troops in Etchu, and his achievements were even higher than that of Murakami Yoshiki, and if he was sent to Omi, it would inevitably make the generals think differently."

Yoshitoki Kira was thinking quietly, and after a careful search, he found that there was indeed no one more suitable than Tohide Nakajo to sit in Omi. The newly developed Lita County in Omi was very important, and a series of government orders were inseparable from their set For a mature team, rashly replacing a general in charge of the army will inevitably dampen the morale and enthusiasm of the samurai left behind in Omi.

"Huh? What's the matter? What kind of information is it?".Hu Ji yawned and leaned in his arms. Since she was pregnant, she became very obsessive. If she couldn't see Kira Yoshihime for half a day, she would lose her temper and throw things. Caused by the shadow, the father passed away, the mother became a monk, and he left his hometown alone. This shadow is only a little bit of ashes until now.

There used to be a strong shell to protect her, but now that she is a little girl, she likes to cling to him. Pregnant women are always emotionally sensitive, and it is inevitable that they will be associated with some unpleasant memories. Princess Aya told him that this is normal, as long as you give her It will take some time to get used to it, and it will be fine after giving birth.

"It's nothing, just some news from Omi... Huh? Imakawa Yoshimoto is going to Luo! Why so fast?"

Hu Ji's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her sleepy eyes and asked, "Why so fast?"

"Imagawa Yoshimoto is preparing to go to Luo, and my brother has already been sent to Sanhe to make preliminary arrangements, and the action is much faster than I expected." When he said here, Kira Yoshiki frowned unconsciously. This year is the first year of Yonglu In 1558, if he remembered correctly, Imagawa Yoshimoto was in Shangluo in the third year of Yonglu, that is, in 1560, and the information sent was clearly that the Imagawa family was ready to mobilize troops at any time.

"How could it be so much earlier? It's completely wrong! Is it really a butterfly effect? ​​But I didn't interfere with Junyuansan's affairs! Two years ago, the Jinchuan family was hit hard by the death of Taiyuan Xuezhai. Why? Will he be going to Luo suddenly?" Ji Liangyi was suddenly shocked by the news, and couldn't figure out what was going on in his head.

This news was beyond his expectation. Although those memories had long been blurred and broken, he still remembered the general story, and he was still very clear about the famous surprise attack.

Hu Ji opened her eyes wide and glanced at the teeny small script on the document, and said softly, "Perhaps Imagawa Jibu felt that we had defeated the Takeda family and the Hojo family, so he was in a hurry to go to Luo to ask the shogunate for a favor!"

"Win the Takeda family and the Hojo family..." Yoshitomo Kira's eyes lit up: "Maybe that's it! The two pillars of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Kosho Jun, have problems at the same time, and the Takeda family was completely defeated by the main family so that they need to rely on Imagawa Yoshimoto. The diplomatic envoys were able to stabilize the situation. The Hojo family did not dare to expand northward after being severely injured by their elder brother. Now the Triple Alliance is a one-man show performed by the Imagawa family alone. Taking this opportunity to use the banner of Shangluo to seize Owari is a way to strengthen itself. Good choice."

Hu Ji tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Why did you seize Owari under the banner? Didn't you go to Shangluo?".

"Shangluo? It's definitely not Shangluo! Do you think that every samurai family will go to Kyoto to join the shogunate with the decision like Yu did in the past?" Yoshihiro Kira chuckled, and then said: "According to reliable information, this plan is Eight years ago, Taiyuan Xuezhai made the decision. At that time, the Imakawa family was satisfied with the new acquisition of the Mihe Kingdom, so they ordered Taiyuan Xuezhai to design a plan for Shangluo. In terms of how to act on the plan, the first step was to eat the Ozhang Kingdom. Owari country, this Shangluo is just extravagant talk."

When there was only one Kira Yoshitoshi in the world, no one dared to copy the path he walked, and there was no condition to copy it. Today, Yoshimoto Yoshikawa has a territory of Junyuan San with a total of more than 50 stones, and the three subordinate countries have a total of more than [-] people , and located on an important commercial route in the East China Sea, you can easily get rich by taxation. Suruga has gold mountains, Yuanjiang has rice, and Mikawa has soldiers who are not afraid of death.

"Seize Owari, and then go to Luo? Who is the name of Owari? Tiger Princess seems to remember that there was a warrior of Owari who wrote a letter to His Highness, what is it called Kamisuke..." Before finishing speaking, Tiger Princess said He dozed off unknowingly, his small fleshy body leaned against him tightly, and he did not forget to carefully adjust his sleeping position in his sleep, for fear of crushing the baby in his womb. [

"...Oda Kami Sosuke Nobunaga." Thinking of this name, Kirayoshi couldn't help frowning. He vaguely remembered seeing that strangely dressed young man in the autumn nine years ago. Nine years later, he had never A three-foot child becomes a tall hero, but he doesn't know what will happen to this great devil.

"He seems to have just completed the unification of Owari last year, which seems to be faster than in memory. It seems that my correspondence with him and those transactions have brought a lot of changes to Owari!" After thinking for a while, I remembered some fragments of information from the beginning of the year, but my brows couldn't help but frowned more and more.

Over the years, he has sold him outdated iron cannons, as well as some ordnance and armor captured from the Kinai War, and sold them to the Oda family first under the premise of parity and discounts. Knowing that the Oda family needs a lot of money, he allowed Oda It is not a small advantage to pay for goods with household grain, which has been accumulated bit by bit over the years.

The other is the exchange of letters. No matter how careful his wording is, he will inevitably mention some ideas that are helpful to him. The government affairs made him send people to Omi to learn the advanced experience of the Kira family, although they are only allowed in the town. Walking around, they are not allowed to go to the enforcing office to inquire about news, but relying on the relationship of the Kira family, let the enforcing person of the Kira family reveal some tips to them in private.

The military strategy is even more helpful, except for military equipment. Oda Nobunaga also devoted himself to studying the tactical system of Kira Yoshitoshi, such as the use of iron cannons and the method of matching footgard formations. He also created his own three-and-a-half The array of spears has been further strengthened, and it has excellent effects against both ashigaru and cavalry samurai. (to be continued...)
