Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 245 Selecting the Yagyu Family

In 1185, military general Minamoto Yoritomo established the era of the Samurai regime with Kamakura (Kanagawa County) as the national political center. The history of Dongying has now entered the era of "shogunate rule". The princes, until the Meiji Restoration, the shogunate era was considered to be over.

Dongying is a magical country. The emperor’s bloodline has continued and has never been broken. Even in the shogunate era when the emperor’s power fell, the emperor still existed. Although it was only a symbolic meaning at this time, no powerful minister dared to abolish the emperor. .

Minamoto Yoritomo created the first shogunate. Because the administrative center was located in Kamakura, it was called "Kamakura shogunate" in history. The core ideas of honesty, bravery, and perseverance, combined with Confucianism, Zen Buddhism, and Shinto, form the spiritual pillar of samurai "Bushido", and the style of Dongying samurai prevails.

After the end of the Kamakura Shogunate, it was replaced by the Muromachi Shogunate.

The "Warring States Period" that we are familiar with in Japan appeared in the late Muromachi shogunate. Because the shogunate lost its authority and deterrence, the wealthy families in various places no longer obeyed the orders of the shogunate, and began to fight on their own and merge with each other.

War needs warriors, so warriors are becoming more and more important, especially in the world No. The influence of a country is very important.

To a certain extent, the political situation of the Warring States Period in Japan and the martial arts structure were integrated. Whoever can become the leader of the martial arts can command more than half of Japan.

"Yuriko, tell me about the martial arts forces in Japan."

Huang Chong took the lily seeds to Dongying to open up new markets. Although Dongying was in the Warring States Period and the current situation was turbulent, Dongying's economy was developing at a high speed, and because the structure was basically established, the current Dongying was not as chaotic as imagined.

"It's the master. The most powerful martial arts forces in Dongying are two factions and five clans. The two factions are the Iga faction of the Iga country and the Koga faction of the Koga country. The situation of these two sects is similar to the martial arts sect of the Ming Dynasty. The interior is mainly based on the inheritance of martial arts, as long as you pass the test, you can enter the sect to learn martial arts."

"These two sects have cultivated many ninjas, right?" Huang Chong asked suddenly. The Koga-style ninjas and Iga-ryu ninjas are well-known in later generations, and Duan Tianya studied under the Iga sect.

"What the master said is right. These two sects are based on ninjutsu, and they also secretly cultivate ninjas for each country." Yuriko said.

"What about you, which sect do you belong to?"

"Master, this subordinate does not belong to these two sects, but was trained by the Takeda family." Yuriko said, Huang Chong paid special attention to her expression and eyes. When she said this, there was no expression on her face. What obvious changes, as if he was talking about something that has nothing to do with him, it seems that the previous brainwashing was still very successful.

"Well, go ahead."

"Yes, the five clans refer to the five family martial arts gyms established by blood ties. Although some students with foreign surnames are accepted, these students cannot get in touch with the core unless they are married, and they cannot learn the unique skills. Yuriko was trained by the Takeda family since childhood. , and reach the innate state, only then can you learn the Ju Heshi style."

"Which five families?"

"The Ashikaga family in Muromachi, because it is the family of the great general, although it has declined, but its background is strong, and it is still considered the largest school in Japan. There are also the Tokugawa family in Edo, the Oda family in Owari, and the Tajima family. The Yagyu family of the Tajima country and the Takeda family of the Kai country that cultivated their subordinates, among them, the Yagyu family of the Tajima country has the weakest overall strength."

"Good guy, these are all great families in the future." Huang Chong thought to himself.

Needless to say, the Ashikaga family among the five major families is still in control of the Muromachi shogunate. As Yuriko said, although it has declined, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still the most powerful sect in Japan. The leader of the martial arts alliance still belongs to the Ashikaga family in name.

As for the remaining families, many powerful characters also appeared.

Takeda Xuanxin of the Takeda family is known as "the number one strategist in the Warring States Period"; as for the Oda Nobunaga of the Oda family, many Chinese have heard of his name, and Takeda Xuanxin was defeated by him. In his hands, he overthrew the rule of the Muromachi shogunate. If he hadn't been assassinated, he would have been able to unify Japan and end the Warring States Period.

The Tokugawa family also produced a fierce man. Tokugawa Ieyasu ended the Warring States Period and established the Edo Shogunate, which is called the "Edo Period".

The Yagyu family is relatively poor, there is no such heroic figure, but they have also cultivated the most famous warrior in the history of Japan, the Yagyu Jubei.

"Then let's start from the country of Tajima, and get to know this Yagyu Tamashou." Huang Chong said, pointing to the country of Tajima.

Baihezi said: "This Liusheng Danmashou was originally named Liusheng Zongju, because his official position was Danmashou, so people at that time called him Liusheng Danmashou."

"Yagyu Zongju, Liusheng Shibingwei, interesting." Huang Chong smiled. According to the historical records, Liusheng Zongju should not have been born at this point in time, but in this plane, he is already well-known in Dongpu. Samurai again.

Huang Chong doesn't care if he misremembered the time or not. Anyway, this is the situation now. It is not the first time that the plane and the historical timeline do not match. Just get used to it. If it is really in the Ming Dynasty in history, it will open up No need to think about overseas markets, the sea ban policy is no joke.

This Yagyu Tanmashou is also a very important character in the TV series, very ambitious, and even sacrificed his own daughter to help Tiedan Shenhou usurp the throne in order to become the martial arts leader of Dongying.

Among the two factions and five clans introduced by Yuriko, the Yagyu family is the weakest, but this Yagyu Danma Shou is also an ambitious careerist. For Huang Chong, this is the best partner for cooperation.

"Baihezi, take this with you. You go to Liusheng's house and hand it to Liusheng Danmashou." Huang Chong said as he handed a letter to Baihezi.

"Yes." Yuriko didn't ask much, took the envelope and disappeared in place.

This time when he came to Dongying, Huang Chong changed Yuriko's appearance. Although the probability of her being discovered to be a ninja of the Takeda family was very small, just in case, Huang Chong still took insurance measures, not wanting to make troubles.

"The Yagyu family, I hope we can become good partners."

If you want to open up the situation in Japan and gain a foothold, the best way is to find allies, and the Yagyu family is Huang Chong's first goal.
