Warring States Eagle

In spring, in the courtyard garden of the lord's mansion, there are mountains and flowers everywhere, butterflies are dancing among the flowers, three women with different looks are kneeling quietly on the green grass, and there is a little elf Chasing butterflies everywhere in the flowers, there are bursts of laughter like silver bells.

Zheng Liang took out the last piece of paper from his bosom, and spread it out, only to see an eagle flying head-on and soaring high on the paper. Zheng Liang planned to use this as the family crest of the Luo family.As for the determination of the family crest, Zheng Liang had considered it a lot.First of all, Togo Heiji once suggested that Zhengliang use the family crest of the Togo branch. There are two reasons. One is that he hopes that Zhengliang will inherit the Togo branch.Zheng Liang tactfully rejected this, because he didn't care about these so-called parentage issues, anyway, you can say what your parentage is.Secondly, since he has repeatedly claimed to be the divine envoy of the Hachiman God, the family monastery must be linked to this point. Under the propaganda of Shinto in Japan, animals are regarded by most people as symbols of the divine envoy, and Masarai also intends to use them Animals are used as family crests. Among the many tycoons that Masara has known, the Suzuki family and the Imagawa family all use animals as their family crests, and even some use animal feathers as their family crests (such as Takabamon).The last thing is to decide which animal to use as the family pattern. Common animal family patterns include tortoise, phoenix, crane, and pigeon.But Zhengliang's artistic ability in painting is really not that good. In his previous life, he was often one of the students that the art teacher didn't like. However, Goshawk is good at painting. This is mainly due to a painting of an eagle in kindergarten. The picture was praised by the teacher, so I had a special feeling when I drew the goshawk.Combining all the above factors, Zhengliang finally drew an eagle flying high as the family crest.

After handing over the painted family crest to the girls and telling them to make several family crest screens and the main flag with the cloth seized in the yard warehouse, Zheng Liang had to rush to the brick-burning site in the north of the cottage, because an ashigaru came in The report said that Zhensuke implored the lord to inspect.Zhengliang was taken aback. Could it be that the bricks have already been made?

With anticipation, Zheng Liang came to the brick-burning site, and saw a few elderly citizens and young women making bricks with mud, and seven or eight earthen kilns had been built.Shinsuke, who was sweating profusely, came over immediately after seeing Masara and bowed to salute, "Your Highness, eight earthen kilns have been built, and the minister has arranged for people to start making bricks and collecting firewood, but the situation of fuel charcoal is not very good. "

"Huh?" After hearing what Shinsuke said, Masara felt very strange. According to what he learned from Togo Heiji, Japan had already learned how to make bricks and firewood from China at this time.Many temples use brick and tile structures, but burning bricks did not become popular in the end. Zheng Liang estimates that there are two reasons. One is because of the high cost. When building a city wall, the general lords prefer to use civil structures because of the high cost. The second is that the quality is not as good as stone materials, and the lords with some money would rather build stone walls.But charcoal is relatively popular. In winter, a load of charcoal can be sold for tens of pennies. Now Shinsuke says that the quality of charcoal is not good, so Zhengliang feels a little strange.

Accompanied by Shinsuke, he went to the charcoal earthen kiln at the foot of the mountain to have a look. Zhengliang knew the problem was there, and the quality of the earthen kiln was too poor.Zheng Liang immediately called for a few local residents, first dug a pit about 8 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 1.3 meters deep with a hoe, and smoothed the bottom of the pit; The prepared firewood strips (upright) are used as the support frame of the charcoal kiln; a layer of thatch is covered on the top of the firewood strips, and then a thick layer of mountain soil is covered on the top of the firewood strips. The back of the kiln is circular; 7 small holes are dug on both sides of the back of the kiln as kiln holes to adjust the temperature of the kiln.Then, build a scaffold with a height of one person on top of the kiln to shelter from rain.In this way, a charcoal kiln is initially completed.The built charcoal kiln looks like a large wine jar that has been placed horizontally.

"Masuke, ask people to build more earthen kilns according to this style. The charcoal burning is arranged at night, and it is too hot during the day," Zhengliang said to Zhensuke beside him.Shinsuke was completely dubious by the oddly shaped clay kiln built by Masara, but he dared not raise any objections.

After dealing with Zhensuke's problem, Zhengliang decided to inspect his new territory, and was still considering whether to take a mineral bath at the pool in the back mountain in the afternoon.

And just as the territory was under construction, Zhengliang was looking forward to taking a bath in the "mineral spring".On the east side of Nogayama, the Tahara House in Tashiro Castle is in a tense atmosphere at the moment.

"Taro, is the news confirmed?" Tahara Tadyoshi, head of the Tahara family, stared at a 20-year-old samurai in front of him and asked.

"Father, the news from inside has been confirmed. Ogi Dazang has secretly arrived in Fujihira Castle today, and is preparing to form an alliance with Fujiwara Hiraobu and discuss the matter of sending troops to the family together." Tahara Hiroyoshi replied cautiously.

"Kang Dang", Tian Yuan Zhongyi threw the tea bowl in his hand on the floor, and the tea bowl shattered in response, "Damn it, father should have cut the grass and rooted it out back then."

"Father, is this family going to take the lead and go straight to the castle of Fujiwara, and first smash the villain Fujiwara Hirayoshi to pieces?" Tahara Hiroyoshi said indignantly.

"Hey!", Tian Yuan Zhongyi let out a long sigh, looked up at the sky outside the gate, and did not make a sound for a long time.It's not that he doesn't want to strike first. In fact, the two families of Tianyuan and Fujiwara have been fighting each other for more than ten years. Every time they fight, the Tianyuan family has an overwhelming advantage. Back then, the Fujiwara family was like an immortal xiaoqiang, repeatedly saving themselves from danger.Now, with the Xiaomu family on the side, why did the Tahara family go straight to the castle of Tengping?Or this is what the Buddhists call God's will tricking people. More than 30 years ago, as an important minister of the Fujiwara family, Tadara Tadaya's father secretly murdered Hironobu Fujiwara, the head of the Fujiwara family, and took advantage of the fact that there were only orphans and widows left in the Fujiwara family. The original Fujiwara family disappeared overnight and was replaced by The Tahara family.A year later, the daughter of the Fujiwara family who was occupied by Tahara Tadyoshi's father gave birth to Tahara Tadayoshi's half-brother, Tahara Hideyoshi.Ever since they became sensible, the two brothers had been at odds, and Tian Yuan Zhongyi even regarded Tian Yuan Xiuyi as a thorn in his side.Unexpectedly, Tian Yuan Zhongyi's father died in the battle between the Bodo family of the upper Matsuura family and the Matsuura family of the Hirado Matsuura family. du li, renamed Fujiwara Hiraishin, and the residence was also renamed Fujiwara's original residence, Fujihira Castle.Tian Yuan Zhongyi sent troops to attack Fujihira Castle in a rage, but in the end he returned without success due to the hasty attack. Since then, the two families have been fighting each other for more than ten years.

If it was said that the Tawara family had the upper hand in the battle in the past, this time it was evenly matched, because the Xiaomu family, who had been watching the excitement, took the initiative to form an alliance with the Fujiwara family this time, and the two families aimed directly at the "copper mine" of the Tahara family. <The wind is proud.But paper cannot contain the fire. The neighbors of the Tahara family, the Xiaomu family, accidentally discovered the secret of the Tahara family, and inferred that copper mines were found in the territory of the Tahara family.In this era, copper mines are a symbol of wealth. In order to snatch the "copper mines" of the Tawara family, the Ogi family decided to reveal the secrets of the Tawara family to the Fujiwara family, and took the initiative to form an alliance with the Fujiwara family.The Fujiwara family, who had been beaten for more than ten years, immediately responded positively.As a result, the two hit it off and prepared to dispatch troops to the Tian Yuan family.

"Taro, is there still no news about that guy Banshi Dalang?" Tian Yuan Zhongyi, who had recovered from his memories, lowered his head and asked.

"Father, there is still no news this month? In the past, they took the initiative to contact the family, and then exchanged supplies at the designated place," Tahara Hiroyoshi said, "Could it be that Father intends to form an alliance with the bandits?"

Tadhara Tadashi glanced at his son appreciatively, and said, "That's right, I plan to form an alliance with Daro Banishi to deal with the Fujiwara family and the Ogi family. I want to use the heads of Fujiwara Hiranobu and Ogi Daizo to hold wine."

"But..." Tahara Hiroyoshi looked at Tahara Tadyoshi's expression, and then continued, "Banshi Dalang is too greedy, I'm afraid he won't easily agree to the alliance."

"Hmph, as long as the condition has enough weight, he will definitely agree." After finishing speaking, Tahara Tadashi looked at the Tairen beside him.

"What?" Hiroyoshi Tahara was taken aback, "Father, this is the treasure of our family. The Huzi family has been trying to buy it but has not promised it. This... this..."

"Taro, after using those stupid bandits to wipe out the Fujiwara family and the Ogi family, will Banishi Tairo still be the opponent of the main family?" Tian Yuan Zhongyi stood up suddenly, looked up at the wooden roof of the meeting hall, and shouted confidently, "This It’s just that I’m temporarily entrusted with that idiot Banshi Dalang.”

"Ah!?" Hiroyoshi Tahara was dumbfounded. It turned out that his father had long planned to annex the Fujiwara family, the Ogi family, and the bandits at the same time, "But...but...Ban Shi Dalang won't notice?"

"Hahaha, Taro! A guy who sold his leader for hundreds of stones of brown rice, will he notice it?" Tahara Tadashi said with a big laugh, "And this time, in order to get Banshi Dalang to take the bait, I decided to take the bait After the war, the property seized by the Fujiwara family and the Ogi family will be distributed to him, and under such conditions, he will definitely not doubt it."

"Father, you are brilliant!" At this time, Hiroyoshi Tahara couldn't help but admire his father's strategy.
