Pillars of the Wu family

Mochizuki Yoshino would come to the nursery every day with a pregnant belly of almost seven months to see the children. Last year, she also took care of the three little ones, Zhenwangmaru, Torachiyo, and Matsuchiyo. At that time, she was still a silly girl. , I just instinctively feel that raising children is a very interesting thing, and now I am also a mother, and seeing the children born to my sisters adds a bit of love.

Oda Inu is also pregnant for three months. She and Mochizuki Yoshino are both mothers for the first time and are half a year younger than her. The same situation makes the two women gradually come together and become a woman who has nothing to say. The good sisters who talked, the two often find Princess Aya, Hu Ji, and Aju who just gave birth to discuss the precautions during pregnancy, and they cheer for each other in private, which is a bit of a confidant.

The little girl Oda City and Mogami Yoshihime who is also a little girl become good friends. They don’t understand the meaning of confidant at this age, and they are more friends and playmates before puberty. Ashi is a very energetic girl. , the heroic look is a bit like the posture of Hu Ji back then, but her martial arts are too bad and she can only practice horseback riding and archery. Yi Ji was also taken by her to learn simple bow skills, and it took less than two months He was able to hit the red heart of an arrow target 18 meters away, and was praised by Aju as a new generation of sharpshooter.

The family atmosphere of the Kira family is completely different from the serious and cold life of the traditional samurai, because he lost his parents at a very young age, and his personal experience is much more special than other samurai. He has received orthodox samurai education since he was a three-foot child. Rules and etiquette are more limited to the etiquette between the monarch and his ministers and the way of dealing with things from above to below. As for the wife of the family governor, various education is relatively lacking.

When he was nine years old, he went to Kyoto to serve the general, but none of the family members of Pu Dai took him with him.The only Tokyuki Yamamoto who served as an assistant was not a purely hereditary genealogy at all.The cultivation of Kira Yoshitoki was mainly focused on the enlightenment education of military strategy.A group of cultural teachers in Kyoto did not teach him how to deal with the internal affairs of the relationship between husband and wife.

After the First World War, Kinki gradually embarked on a road of fame all over the world. At that time, Kirayoshi was still a child, and the retainers did not consider giving etiquette education to the family governor after marriage. Instead, they kept urging the family governor to get married and give birth as soon as possible. The legitimate son guarantees the inheritance of the family business. How many heroes were forced to adopt by their retainers because they could not have a son, and then gave birth to a legitimate son, which caused great disasters. The samurai of the Kira family urged them out of good intentions.

The result of such urging was that one wife after another was brought into the harem during Ji Liangyi's time and gave birth to a bunch of children, but the atmosphere in the harem during Ji Liangyi's time was not at all what a famous samurai family should have.The wife of the main room and a group of side rooms get along like a group of good sisters, not at all like the image of a noble lady who talks with a cold face all day long.

The daughters of the Nagao family are all very strong, and Tiger Princess is also working hard to learn from her sister, Princess Aya. From her words and deeds, she shows the generosity of the daughters of the Nagao family more and more. Almost all of them were dragged into Tingyu Courtyard by Hu Ji and Princess Ling. With the help of Princess Ling and Aju, who has a good temper and a wide network, Hu Ji, the wife of the wife, was extremely comfortable. For the absolute core, the ladies in the concubine could only docilely and have no ability to resist.

Wife diplomacy is becoming a new fashion in Echigo and is more and more accepted by samurai. Usually, what is inconvenient to say between samurai can be said inadvertently through the women of their family.Even if he said the wrong thing, he would just reprimand him for not understanding the rules. Especially recently, Hu Ji gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, which gave the wives of many retainers a good chance.The samurai lady, who couldn't save face before, also took this opportunity to join in.

Ji Liangyishi didn't care much about her wife's momentary joyful behavior, except that he would play with a few older sons at a fixed time every day, just to see a few newborn babies. What kind of social activities the women like to play are completely free to them. Anyway, Kira Yoshimi rarely listens to his wife's advice when he makes up his mind.

The turmoil caused by the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Kinai was finally suppressed in the autumn of this year. The Miyoshi family’s plan to create trouble for Echigo and seize the opportunity to seize Sakamoto failed. During the rebellion caused by Hatano in Tanba, the Kira family successfully protected the transmission line of interests from Tsuruga Port to Sakamoto through excellent military, diplomatic and strategic planning.

The seizure of half counties of Asai and Ika counties also ensured that the Asai family would lose the possibility of threatening business routes, and waited for an opportunity to exert influence on the Tsuruga county controlled by the Asakura family. Next time, they would like to set up checkpoints or For other means, you have to ask the tens of thousands of tigers of the Kira family and the Kira navy that dominates Hokuriku if they are willing.

The second inner circle of the Asakura family opposed each other and had suspicions against the governor Asakura Yoshikage. At this time, any military action against Tsuruga County might affect the military balance of the second inner circle in the system. Even if the governor Asakura Yoshikage can't figure it out, but the members of the same name and the genealogists are very clear about it. The current Asakura family is very sensitive inside. The Tsuruga family is a time bomb. I don't know when it will explode. The Asakura army doesn't dare to launch an attack In Yixiang County, even the fat-flecked Wakasa Kingdom did not dare to mobilize troops easily.

Ingenious tricks were used to remove the threat of the Kinai Three Kingdoms to the Kira family, so that Kira Yoshitoki could return his attention to Kanto with peace of mind. At this time, the Hojo family continued to suppress the Fangsou Peninsula. With the support of Satake Yoshiaki's waterway, it is good or bad Satomi Yoshihiro was allowed to hold out until the autumn harvest. With the coming of autumn, the Hojo family disbanded most of their troops and returned to their hometown for the autumn harvest. It seemed that they had no plans to continue to suppress the Fangsuo Peninsula after the autumn harvest.

In the summer, the Hojo family originally wanted to launch a wave of powerful attacks to take down Sanuki Castle in one fell swoop, but they didn't want Furukawa Lord Fang Ashikaga Fujimasa to suddenly jump out to join in the grand event, and brazenly took the Hojo family's family in the anti-Kira alliance. The name was brought in, which frightened the Hojo Clan so badly that the offensive from Xia Tian almost stopped.

Just as the Takeda family sent Nobushige Takeda to contact the Kira family for self-defense, the Hojo clan government also sent the Hojo family's diplomatic envoy, Okae Sessai, to Kasugayama Castle to negotiate. The uncle Hojo Genan, who has the most diplomatic experience, was sitting on the front line and couldn't get away. The effect of the learned monk was not good. The Kira family just asked Asayama Hijo to accompany them to gossip, and they didn't plan to let Itabe Okae Xuesai meet Kira Yoshi.

After lingering for many days and still not getting the understanding of the Kira family, Itabe Okae Sessai could only leave Echigo disappointed. Even though the Hojo clan government knew that the Kira family was planning to do something, they took advantage of the autumn harvest to disband the main force. When he returned home, only the 21 troops and a few Chinese from Izu [-]'s family were left to guard the front line of Kururi Castle, telling them that as long as they guarded the territory, it would be a great achievement, and he himself hurried back to Odawara Castle with the main force.

The people of Kanto were also frightened by the oolong played by Masashi Ashikaga. Utsunomiya Hirotsuna strongly criticized the anti-Kira action. However, this decision was made by Haga Gaoding, Minagawa Hiroshi, and Mibu Tsuna. The decision of Xiong et al. to obey the orders of the Kanto government in name is very upright, which makes Utsunomiya Hirozuna completely powerless to object.

The situation in the Nasu family is completely opposite. The family governor Nasu Ziyin and half of the genealogy support Kanto Gong Fang against Kira, but the three brothers Oseki Takasuke, Otahara Tsunakiyo and Fukuhara Zixiao who are the strongest in Nasu Qiqi are resolute Opposing the family governor's proposal is not only to contain the family governor Nasu Ziyin who must be replaced, but also because their foreign aid, the Satake family, is a staunch anti-Hojo samurai family, which makes the three brothers more confident to fight against Nasu Ziyin, For a moment, the situation in Nasu's house was treacherous and there was a stance of going to war.

Date Terumune was educated by his father and realized that he was still too immature, so he gave up suppressing the Mogami family and changed his strategy to focus on Mutsu's economic strategy. Kagemichi Onodera looked very embarrassed. The so-called allies of the Andong family and the Yuri Twelve Heads were all gone. After thinking about it, Kagemichi Onodera felt that he had nothing to do with it, and immediately made a statement to withdraw from the anti-Echigo alliance.

The abandonment of the large Chinese means that the small wealthy family will also change the direction of the wind. This can make Ashikaga Fujimasa so anxious that he quickly finds Matsunaga to discuss countermeasures, but this young man only has the blood of Matsunaga Hideo. But he didn't have his father's means of overturning clouds and rain. Before he got his father's latest instructions, he could only vaguely reassure him not to worry.

It has been repeatedly emphasized that the Kira family is a paper tiger that can be broken with a single poke. At this time, in the name of the Furukawa government, it is necessary to reiterate the importance of the Dongguo samurai uniting against the Kira family. It's worth a little money, and the Furukawa government is so mixed up that it still cares about the name of whether it can be seen or not.

Ashikaga Fujimasa really believed Matsunaga's words, and once again reiterated that the anti-tyrannical Kira family, successively murdered the two famous families of sister Koji Yoshiyoshi and Kiso Yoshima, it was cruel, and emphasized that Kanto is the Kanto of the Kanto samurai family, and the samurai in Kyoto cannot be allowed to Came to the Kanto to misbehave, and then gave the allies Oda Ujiji and Edo Shigetsu Yagataka according to Matsunagato's suggestion.

Instead, his nonsense behavior aroused the collective opposition of Kanto Hachiyagata. When the three generations of Kamakura Lord Ashikaga took office concurrently, the Kanto governor Uesugi Asamune proposed to reward the eight Kamakura Lords who did their best to help, and the samurai with extraordinary family background And the establishment of the Hachiya-shaped privilege as a reward, after 150 years of baptism, this name has long been a symbol of the glory of the Kanto samurai family, how could these two unknown Kanto local tyrants be allowed to desecrate at will.

Serious doubts were expressed to the ordinary people of the two Hitachi countries. Among them, the anti-Hojo pioneers Satake, Yuki, and Koyama opposed particularly fiercely. They were so frightened that Ashikaga Fujimasa quickly canceled this promise. The act of reneging on his word and gaining weight immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction between Ujiji Oda and Shigetsu Edo. The stupid Ashikaga Fujimasa didn't know that the more he did, the more mistakes he made. to the point of nothing. (To be continued..)
