Nagao Kagetora blinked and was stunned for a long time before he understood what a strange system he was talking about. He said in disbelief: "Then Kira's retainers really won't make trouble? It's too difficult to have no territory.
I understand, they should unite to defeat you... Why can you sit here so leisurely and talk to me about the past and the present?"
Nagao Kagetora couldn't understand the idea of a landless lord. In his impression, land and samurai were two points connected together. How could any samurai not want the territory? Since the establishment of the system of royal favors in the Kamakura period, the samurai family has been obliged to serve the public.
Obtaining the reward from the master's family was the only appeal. Many samurai who lost their land died in poverty. The imperial family who lost their land became more and more dissatisfied with the power of the Hojo family in Kamakura. Finally, they united under the banner of the Ashikaga family to overthrow Kamakura and establish Muromachi.
Shogunate.
As for the subconscious ignoring of some historical facts, don't worry about it. Nagao Kagetora will not admit the existence of the Southern Dynasties. This kind of moral fanatic is always different from others. He especially likes to emphasize things like the martial law and order.
This is very similar to Kira Yoshitoki, but he would never come up with such an unnatural thought as not to give the land to Tomoyo.
Kira Yoshishi smiled softly and asked: "Why are they making trouble? The fact that they followed me to Kyoto to serve as emperor speaks for itself. Most of the new senators recruited by Omi and Kyoto have no land. Why are they still making trouble when I give them a generous salary? Myself
Can farming be more advantageous than practicing collective management of farmland? I can arbitrarily set aside a hundred yards of land and agree to grow rice, soybeans, or whatever I want, but can the lords of the country do it?
How many samurai families will share the land of a hundred towns? There may be seven or eight lords. There may be a dozen or even more lords to share the land. And they will not use the land for farming.
They gather together to build cities and villages, and each new piece of land is dismembered like a dog chewing. How much of the land is actually used for farming?"
Nagao Kagetora nodded and said: "Yes! Japan's land is scarce and food is scarce. It is indeed a bad habit to waste so much land and build cities indiscriminately, but what should we do? Isn't this how our samurai family has been here for hundreds of years?"
"It's not just a waste, it's a squandering of the few resources we have! When did our samurai family start building castles indiscriminately? What is the custom of our samurai family? This is a habit formed after the Southern and Northern Dynasties. During the Kamakura period, the imperial family lived in the manor.
In the nearby residence hall. It was not until the late Kamakura period that the evil party member Kusunoki Masashige set a precedent for building a fortified city. Only then did the current situation of fortified cities appear as numerous as dogs.
The land of the Chinese lords is almost never connected together. There is a piece of land in the east and a piece in the west. People who belong to different countries often have disputes and even fights over land ownership, new field development, water distribution and other issues. Dan Zhengdian must be aware of this kind of land-related land disputes every year.
Litigation is the most common, and if it is not handled well, it will even affect the stability of the family, but what if we do not enfeoff? The king distributes money and food to support these soldiers, does he still have to worry about these problems? "
Long-tailed tiger princess finally couldn't help but interjected and asked: "But what about those Chinese people who have fiefdoms? How could they give up their land? Even the family members of the family would not agree to such a ridiculous thing, right?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree! This is not forcing them to agree, giving them the right to make their own choices." Kira Yoshiki was waiting for this question. Unexpectedly, it was Huya Girl who asked the question, so he said confidently: "Let those unwilling retainers and Chinese people continue to follow the terms of the military service account! Anyway, there will be a big difference in treatment between the land-owning and landless warrior families. As time goes by, there will always be some small wealthy families, and the earth servant's heart is pounding , and then he will naturally give up his land and join the Nagao family.”
In the next few days, the two of them spent almost all their time discussing various issues, even using examples to discuss. The general concept of Echigo was also understood by Kira Yoshitoki, and then he seemed to remember something. A few years later, a man named Niigata It seems that the place is still the second largest grain producing area in Japan, second only to Hokkaido, which is still called Ezo. In other words, Echigo should be a big granary. So how much room for operation is there?
Echigo also has a powerful samurai group. The reason why the Nagao family faces the chronic diseases that are difficult to cure for the people is simply because they lack a reputation. There is a sense of trust, and there are a lot of people who have the same family status as the Nagao family, and even have similar origins. These samurai families think that if the Nagao family can be the leader of the country, why can't I be the leader of the country?
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is no need to worry if there is too much trouble. With such a group of extremely jealous Japanese people causing trouble, it is not surprising that the Nagao family will not be able to withstand the Echigo people. There is also another group of retainers who used to protect the Uesugi faction. Resentful, full of anger and hatred towards the Nagao family.
There are three Nagaos in front of the Nagao family. Later, Nagao Ueda was not very tame with the Nagao family, and even wanted to seize the position of governor of the Nagao family, and then become the head of Echigo, and even Even Nagao Kagetora's brother-in-law, Nagao Kagenobu of the Sukiyoshi Nagao family, could not escape this idea, which shows how many waves were hidden under the calm surface of Echigo.
None of this is a problem for the Kira family. The problem the Kira family faces is the dictates of the shogunate. They act as firefighters and fight to the death with the Miyoshi family again and again. Although they win by luck every time, the only thing in this world is immortality. How can an undefeated general dare to claim to be eternally undefeated? Even the famous generals in history have to be cautious when fighting. What they are afraid of is that they will lose everything if they make a miscalculation.
Yoshitoki Kira is like a tightrope walker on a cliff, with a huge burden on his shoulders but unable to move forward. Several secret weapons that the Kira family relies on to maintain victory are also completely exposed in battles. The Kira family has no trump cards. What will be the consequences of taking the two Omi counties with hundreds of thousands of koku and going to the Miyoshi family with millions of koku?
Even if the Miyoshi family is defeated several times, it still has the energy to make a comeback, but what will happen if the Kira family loses once? That end may only lead to decline or even destruction.
Once the Kira family is defeated, the shogunate will also be destroyed, and the emperor will continue to escape. At that time, the beloved lord of the house, Ashikaga Yoshitoshi, may not remember Kira Yoshitoshi for his great contribution in protecting the shogunate, and will only remember why he He used to be able to win, but now he is defeated in every game. Even if he is lucky enough to survive, his end will not be any better than that of Hosokawa Harumoto.
As early as a year ago, Kira Yoshi had been thinking about the way forward. To attack Omi was to seek death. The Rokkaku family of Sasaki was an important minister of the shogunate. He could not move at all under the shogunate's posthumous order. He would snatch food from the tiger's mouth. The two counties have already made the Rokkaku family dissatisfied. If they don't know how to attack Litai County, a large-scale war will really break out, and even force the Rokkaku family to join the Miyoshi family.
What kind of chain reaction will the Rokkaku family's sudden betrayal cause? First of all, the Rokkaku family's 20,000 troops are not a joke, and Rokkaku Yoshihide is not a Miyoshi Nagakei. Sakamoto and Otsu are right in front of him, and seeing the changes every day can be said to be all over his body.
After being thoroughly researched, what secret weapons does the Kira family have to play with the Rokkaku family?
Hisamasa Asai, who has long been resentful of Yoshitoki Kira, will definitely stand up immediately, and then beat the younger ones and the older ones. The Asakura family will definitely be involved, and the Miyoshi family will definitely take advantage of the situation. When the time comes, the shogunate will...
Keep Kyoto’s governing system from falling.
They will definitely blame Kira Yoshitoki and strictly order him to apologize. In the end, he will not eat the mutton but will become a mess. The world will no longer praise Kira Yoshitoki for his wisdom and martial prowess. By then he will offend the Rokkaku family and he will control the waterways in Lake Biwa and Yodogawa.
The rights will also be destroyed. The Rokkaku family can incite the Koga people to wantonly destroy waterway trade.
He even wooed the water flow in Lake Biwa and the Yodo River to surrender to him. As long as he was given the status of a samurai, he would definitely be flocked to him. Can the Kira family compete with him? By then, the reputation he had worked so hard to build would be completely over.
Although Asai Nagamasa, the Kirin son of the Asai family, has not grown up yet, the Asakura family is stronger than it was twenty years later. It would be a good idea to wait for Asakura Soutei for a few years without moving, but Asai Nagamasa
He will grow up along with it. What's more terrible is that Oda Nobunaga will not stop. It will be time to wait for a few years. How many years does he have to waste?
Yamashiro Country is the imperial court, and the shogunate's manor is the main source of income. It was finally stolen from Miyoshi's family. Whoever dares to touch it will be attacked. So where can he go? Attack Yamato across Omi? More than 10,000 Yamato people are not vegetarians.
, there are also the forces of Hatakeyama, Rokkaku, and Kitahata infiltrating behind him, not to mention that Yamato has not been protected by Yamato for more than three hundred years. If he dares to go, he will be seeking death.
Looking around, he found that there was nowhere to expand. The retainer group might not have much meaning, but as a soul from another world, he had traveled to a prominent family of this era. He just drifted along without doing anything and became Oda Nobunaga's.
If the retainer watches him smash the Ashikaga Shogunate and destroy the glory he has insisted on for more than ten years, then what is the point of his struggle?
Historically, Miyoshi Nagakei died of illness in 1564. As a result, the unsatisfactory trio of Miyoshi killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the shogunate, in 1565. As a result, there was a great change in Kinai. Ashikaga Yoshiaki went everywhere to ask for support.
Finally, I found the story of Oda Nobunaga leading a great demon king to Luo.
In other words, Sanhaojia can be prosperous for at least twelve years! What will be the result of not being able to expand for twelve years? That will be a terrible disaster! If it does not expand for three years, its influence will decline, and if it does not expand for five years, the attention of the province will be lost.
will decline, let alone ten long years, anything can happen. Is it really good for the Kira family to tie up Kira Yoshitoki in Kinai as a firefighter for the shogunate? Absolutely not!
Regardless of what will happen more than ten years later, if the Kira family has not taken any action for a few years, the halo around the Kira family will gradually fade, the Miyoshi family will recover from the fear, and the Miyoshi family who have calmed down will take Kira seriously.
The family attaches great importance to this powerful opponent. At that time, he will find that what the Kira family is proud of is relying on the status of the shogunate to carry out defensive counterattacks.
This is equivalent to saying that as long as the Miyoshi family does not take the initiative to break the non-standing covenant signed with the shogunate, the Kira family will have no way to take action against the Miyoshi family. The Miyoshi family can confidently and boldly bypass the Yamashiro country to run other countries, and wait for the Miyoshi family to
After finishing off all the opponents bit by bit, and then marching to Luo, 50,000 or even 80,000 troops gathered in Kyoto. Even if the Kira family had the ability to fight, it would be difficult for them to counterattack.
If it really comes to that point, it would be better to shamelessly agree to Oda Nobunaga's request to be his retainer. At least Oda Nobunaga can tolerate himself at that time, and at least he can still remember that friendship... More than ten years later
, when the powerful Oda Demon King appears in Kinki, can he tolerate a famous shogunate under the old system? He wouldn't be able to do it!
So where can he go? The shogunate is now reluctantly getting rich after years of decadence, but all of this is based on the martial arts and martial arts of Kira Yoshinori. Except for the imperial palace of Yamashiro Kingdom, there is no trace at all.
What's the point of looking for Ashikaga Yoshito to protect his territory?
For example, neighboring countries such as Tanba and Kii do not follow the orders of the shogunate at all. Their people have their own system. Even if the shogunate comes to protect them, there is no extra territory, not to mention that behind Tanba country is the Miyoshi family, the backstory of Kii country is even more complicated.
, Neraiji Temple, Koyasan, Kumano Sanzan, Kii Zaigashou and the Hatakeyama family, these forces are more difficult to deal with one by one. The righteousness of the shogunate has no effect on these local forces, because most of these local tycoons are not samurai.
There is also no need to worry too much about the safety of the shogunate. Rokkaku and Hatakeyama were envious and jealous of Kiragi, and it was not a day or two when he was highly regarded. Not to mention that Rokkaku, Yoshihide, and his brother-in-law Hosokawa Harumoto and his sister were confined in Fumonji Temple.
If he doesn't avenge such a big revenge, he, the governor of the Rokkaku family, is a coward.
Nowadays, the development of the shogunate has entered a bottleneck period. It has no actual influence outside the Yamashiro country. If Sakamoto had not had a big leak that Kira Yoshitoki caught at a glance and reached out to pick it up, he would probably have followed the shogunate and hid in Tibet. Even so, there is still
Being envied, jealous, and hated by many forces such as Hieizan Enryakuji Temple, the Rokkaku Family, and the Asai Family, it can be said that the development of the Kira Family is difficult, scary, and treading on thin ice!
Not only did they have to fight against the powerful Miyoshi family, but they also had to fight against the Rokkaku family within the shogunate system, the Hieizan Enryakuji Temple outside the system, and even the enemies hidden in all aspects, openly or secretly. It took a lot of effort to reach this point and tap into the remaining potential.
Once it's empty, if you don't consider your retreat, you'll just be stuck in a corner and wasting time.
But everything was completely different just now. Now there is a great opportunity in front of him. As long as he convinces Nagao Kagetora, he can reach the sky in one step and get the opportunity to enter Echigo. How can he keep calm?
"Opportunities are rare, and time waits for no one!" In just a few minutes, Kira Yoshi thought about all this thoroughly, and became more determined to leave. Since he could leave Mikawa and take root in Kinai, he could also leave Kinai and go to Echigo.
People move to higher places, water flows to lower places, trees move dead people and people move living things. The time has come for him to move forward.
After thinking about all this, is Echigo's problem really a problem? He has no connections in Kansai, Kyushu, and Shikoku, but he has known the Nagao Kagetora in front of him for a long time. He has been a pen pal for several years and helped
He solves a lot of potential troubles and gets rewarded as much as he pays. Nagao Kagetora's debt to him is the best opportunity.
His thoughts were like boiling water, rushing uncontrollably. In just a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, making him immediately think of the crux that was originally difficult to solve. So when his head was still spinning rapidly,
At that moment, he subconsciously blurted out: "I want to go to Echigo!"
Nagao Kagetora, who was sitting aside and meditating quietly, was suddenly startled and repeated: "Buueden, do you mean to go to Echigo?"
"...Oops! Why did I say it! Why did I blurt it out in a moment of stupidity? What would he think if Nagao Kagetora guessed what he was thinking? Stealing the foundation of the Echigo Nagao family? But that's not my intention, even if
Going to Echigo is also mutually beneficial, but how should I explain it?" At this moment, Kiragi fell into regret and confusion.
"Buueden is teasing me, aren't you!" Nagao Kagetora's eyes were as bright as a hot iron falling on Kiragi's face, making his scalp tingle for a while, and his tone was suspicious, as if he wanted to find out how true this sentence was.
"Why should I go to Echigo? Why not go back to Mikawa but to Echigo? What can I do when I return to Mikawa? Can Imagawa Yoshimoto accommodate me? What will Oda Nobunaga think? I am a member of the Genji family and I have a great family.
Do I want to live a life of being oppressed? No! I can't do this! I must go to Echigo, but how should I go to Echigo?" The heavy question made him breathless.
At this moment, he thought of many past events in the Mikawa Kingdom, the dictating and powerful influence of the elders on the Kira family tree, the stubborn temper of the people of the Mikawa Kingdom, Kira Yoshian who was circled as a canary by Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the fierce dogs raised by the Imagawa family.
The Mikawa Matsudaira clan, the Mikawa Ichikou clan who had serious problems, Owari's Oda Nobunaga, and the most terrifying enemy Imagawa Yoshimoto.
"Mikawa can't go back! I just said a few years ago that I would establish a foothold in Kyoto, and even moved my Bodhi Temple to Kentian Miaoyun Temple. If I go back, some people will think that I am returning to my hometown in glory, but more importantly, they will think that I am just here to cause trouble! What's more, Mikawa Kingdom is now
In the territory of the Imagawa family, several key branch cities are stationed and monitored by the Imagawa family. Should I be a retainer when I return, or should I rebel immediately?
If you don't rebel, I will be a minister! I, the noble Ashikaga Kamisuzaburo, want to be Imagawa Yoshimoto's retainer? I can't do it! But if I rebel, how many people in Mikawa Kingdom will support me? People who live a comfortable life are willing to be ambitious like me.
Are they family supervisors? Does my pride allow them to dictate? If not, what are the consequences of eradicating them? "
In an instant, he thought of many terrible assumptions. His clothes were soaked with sweat unknowingly. His face could turn pale as paper, then as black as iron, and he was obviously having a fierce ideological struggle.
"Shimochi Echigo, do you want to appreciate the landscape of Hokuriku? Or...do you have other ideas?" Nagao Kagetora's intuition is very sharp. In the blink of an eye, he noticed something different in Kiragi's expression, and his body couldn't help but
When he leaned forward and pressed slightly towards Kiragi, his tone became a little more tentative: "Wuweidian's downward approach to Echigo, what kind of downward method is it?"
"No matter what! In any case, I have no way out, and denying it again will only make him more suspicious. The only way is to fight!" While Nagao Kagetora was doubtful, Kira Yoshitoki also made a decision: "This sounds a bit...
Sorry, I just want to take the Kira family down to Echigo! In other words, I want to bring the best of the Kira family to Echigo, and only some of the retainers from Omi and the two counties will stay behind."
"What? This is absolutely impossible!" Nagao Kagetora accidentally broke the tea cup, and the boiling tea spilled all over the floor. Echigo Ryuu lost control of his emotions at this moment, facing this noble person who had helped him many times.
The famous samurai clan roared: "Do you know what you are talking about? Bringing the essence of the Kira family to Echigo is to annex me, Echigo? Did you plan all this a few years ago? I really saw it wrong.
You!"
"No! That's absolutely not the case! I, Ashikaga Utsusaburo Yoshitoki, am not such a despicable person! I am the royal family of the Minamoto family, the royal family of the Ashikaga shogun. How could I steal your territory! Even if you give it to me, I will not take it. Every penny! If I need land, I will get it with my own hands!
All I need to do is defeat those rebels who are weak and weak and confiscate their territory. Today I can capture the land of two counties, and tomorrow I can capture the land of two countries! What you can do, I can do! What you can't do , I can do it too!" Kira Yoshih held his head high, expressing his gratitude to a warrior who was unwilling to succumb to fate. Every word that came out of his mouth was as hard as steel, as hot as flames, with a strong will to fight and an attitude of never admitting defeat. The spirit is deeply imprinted in Nagao Kagetora's mind.
"Hahaha... Not bad! This is the Kiragi Toki that I admire! This is the Kawachi Genji in my heart!" Nagao Kagetora looked up to the sky and smiled. He had rarely been so happy in many years. After laughing, his eyes locked tightly. With his firm eyes, he roared very domineeringly: "The Wu family should be what you are now! Looking forward and backward, being indecisive will not bring victory. You can only fight hard and sacrifice your life, and experience the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield. Only then can we build the backbone of the Wu family that will never collapse!"
"So I want to go to Echigo! I want to go to Echigo even more! I must go to Echigo too! Kyoto was a big turning point for me, so let Echigo be another turning point for me to rise from the ashes!"
"I appreciate your determination and unyielding! But I can tell you clearly, no! Absolutely not! Even if I, Kagetora, die here, I will not let you take the next step!" The two of them have completely become angry. , completely abandoning the taboo of honorifics, without any aristocratic dignity.
"Why not? Tell me your reasons!" Kira Yoshishi still refused to admit defeat.
Nagao Kagetora sneered, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes: "Because I am the leader of the Echigo Kingdom, I have my family, I have my family group, they will not accept you, and I will not accept you either. I accept you! I will not allow you to borrow my Echigo shell to rise from the ashes and rise to power on the shoulders of my Nagao family! This is absolutely impossible!"
Nagao Kagetora used to hate the word "profit" the most, but after being enlightened by Kira Yoshitoki's letters, he gradually came to understand that today's troubled times are a world where human relationships are as strong as iron. The retainers support the Nagao family because the Nagao family can protect their interests. Benefit, his eyes seemed to be enlightening Kiragi to realize this truth when he was laughing at him, but in turn he was hurting himself.
"If I remember correctly, you should have made a vow not to marry for the rest of your life, right?" Kira Yoshi also sneered and said to himself: "How could I be unprepared? The trouble with your Nagao family happened a few years ago. You’ve already researched it thoroughly, and you’re still trying to fool me with this?”
What he was referring to was a public case about Nagao Kagetora. Nagao Kagetora once swore an oath to "never have sex with women or eat meat for the rest of his life." Of course, he could not give up drinking, and he would also kill people.
"You know this too?" But Nagao Kagetora didn't see it that way: "But what can I do? I have my sister and my relatives, and they can all inherit my inheritance..."
"Breathe...breathe..." Kira Yoshi was trying to calm down his excited emotions. He was so excited just now that he felt like his blood was burning. His whole body was filled with boiling energy, and all of this was not in vain in the end. Nagao Kagetora really took the bait, and he said the most important sentence, which contained his only trump card that could persuade Nagao Kagetora.
Trying to calm his heartbeat to an acceptable range, he returned to his elegant noble manner, took out his bat fan and said calmly: "That's why Princess Hu Ji will be trained as the heir of Danzhengdian.
My only relative, I have put countless efforts and efforts into it, and for this reason, I even went against the retainers to keep Princess Tobi as the heir! So what will happen if I marry Princess Tobi?"
"Nani?" Nagao Kagetora's eyes widened with a terrifying light, "My Nagao family's daughter cannot be someone else's concubine! No one can let Torahime be a concubine!"
After visiting Kinai for a month and making friends with the Takeshi family in Kyoto, he naturally knew about the engagement between Kira Yoshitoshi and the princess of the Konoe family, so when he heard the proposal, his first reaction was that he was really crazy.
The moment he saw that his expression didn't look fake, he almost got angry on the spot. If it weren't for the disparity in status between the two of them, Nagao Kagetora would have wanted to go up and punch him to make him say such bastard words.
At this time, Nagao Kagetora transformed into an angry, colorful giant tiger, as majestic as a mountain and as heavy as a swamp. It stared at him as if it was baring its sharp fangs, waiting for an opportunity to intimidate those who angered it.
"Is a side chamber totally impossible? What about the main wife? Or is there the possibility of two main wives?" Kira Yoshi was speechless and choked up. He was really smart. He once again ignored Nagao Kagetora's strong temper.
Thinking about marriage can promote effective integration between both parties.
But he ignored how deep the relationship between the brother and sister had been for ten years, which was enough for him to insist on making his sister the heir despite the threat of the family retainers. How could such a brother and a man tolerate his only sister to be his concubine?
"In short! It is absolutely not allowed to be a side chamber! Even you, His Highness Wuwei, are not allowed! Absolutely not!" Nagao Kagetora looked very angry and left angrily with a bamboo stick.
"It's true that the family belongs to a tiger family!" Kira Yoshi was sweating profusely. He said casually that he was indeed right. Nagasaki Kagetora is a tiger, and his sister Torahime is also a tiger when he is younger. The family is full of cats.
Scary.
"Oops! What should we do now!" Kira Yoshitsune fell into distress. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
