Chapter 21 Powerful retainers

For this reason, Watanabe Takazuna, who had been reduced to a land attendant, was so excited to see Kira Manshomaru. It was not easy for his family to become like this. His ancestor was the Saga Genji, and there had been the first Genji and the second Genji.

The famous aristocrat of the Third Genji family, the Heian period socialite Murasaki Shikibu, the protagonist of "The Tale of Genji" written by Murasaki Shikibu, the protagonist Hikaru Genji is the left minister of the river, Genrō. His brothers have created the first Genji, the second Genji, the third Genji and other prestigious names.

, which was also the beginning of the decline of the vassal status of the Genji clan.

Of course, this mix is ​​also related to his origin. The Watanabe clan is far from being a direct line of Shoshuo. Their ancestors have long since declined, and the status of those who became samurai families is also very low. The Watanabe family of his family is actually a member of the Watanabe family.

The Matsuura clan, the descendants of Hetsuna, are a separate branch of the family. They inherited the Miao name of their ancestor, the Watanabe clan. In fact, it has little to do with the direct lineage of the Watanabe clan.

Compared with the Qinghe Genji clan, which has repeatedly made great contributions to the imperial court since its official status was reduced, the Kawachi Genji clan seems to be unknown. The Kawachi Genji clan has been powerful in the world since the beginning of the Hachiman Taro Minamoto clan.

He also became the actual leader of the samurai, and it was said that he was the direct descendant of the Minamoto clan of the samurai family. From this, Yorishio Minamoto single-handedly raised an army of tens of thousands to fight against the Taira clan.

Kira Mansomaru finally remembered who Watanabe Takatsuna was. His son should be Watanabe Moritsuna, and he was the only Miao family in the entire Mikawa Kingdom with the Miao name Watanabe. This question was not difficult to guess, but he was still interested in Watanabe.

I am very curious as to how Takatsuna was recruited into the Kira family.

"This is a list compiled by my ministers. It belongs to the eight hundred standing samurai names, and their origins are all recorded in the list." Yamamoto Kansuke took out a piece of paper from nowhere and looked at the slightly scrawled name on the list.

Kira Manshomaru's handwriting was habitual and he curled his lips. Yamamoto Kansuke's handwriting was very bad, and because he was not good at calligraphy, he could only write with pseudonyms instead of real characters.

But after taking a closer look, he was no longer in the mood to laugh at his font, "...Watanabe Gengozaemon Takatsuna, Naito Shirozaemon Masashige, Kato Sunjiro Kyouaki, Ina Gobei Tadie... Eh,

Naito Masashige? Isn't this the Naito clan member who calls himself Fujiwara Hidego-ryu? Naito Kiyonaga seems to be the descendant of the Matsudaira family."

"That's true. The Naito family calls itself the Fujiwara Hidego-ryu, and is of the same clan as the Tanba Naito family and the Shubo Naito family, but because there is no strong genealogical evidence," Yamamoto Kansuke sighed.

"What are you doing with that look of approval on your face? I want an answer!" Kira Mansomaru curled his lips and secretly thought that the old man was talking about him again, so he could only say patiently: "I am obviously asking why there is such a thing.

He, Master, please don’t misinterpret my meaning!”

"Oh, that's it! I'm old, and my words can't keep up with the owner!" Under the speechless gaze of Kira Mansomaru, this super energetic guy looked very distressed.

, made a gesture of concentrating on thinking, and after a while, he suddenly realized: "Maybe I have fallen in love with the owner of the museum!"

"Nani? We are in love? What kind of explanation is this! It's so irresponsible!" Kira Manshomaru couldn't help but got mad. He threw off his horse and returned to the samurai, galloping into the street. The crowd behind him,

The horsemen, not knowing what was going on, hurried to follow, while Yamamoto Kansuke followed slowly behind.

"Master, I've finally grown up! I've been training for five years and have achieved success. Today's standing performance has impressed everyone in the Kira family. I'm afraid that several members of the clan in Saijo Castle can no longer sit still! Forget it! These eight

The Baichang Biben is a gift prepared for the master of the museum. I take this opportunity to hand over the military power. Who can say anything wrong to me?"

Kansuke Yamamoto turned around and glanced at a bow samurai who was on duty. He was only in his early twenties and had a bow skill that could penetrate the enemy with a hundred steps. He snorted coldly: "Naito Yoshikiyo, the leader of the Okazaki Five, is seventy-three years old."

At an advanced age, he fought for the Matsudaira family against Oda Nobuhide and ended up being injured and died. The Naito clan has dedicated their whole life for the Matsudaira family. However, the Naito clan still lives in the Naito estate in Kamoda Township. What qualifications does such a master family have?

Naito Masashige is such a warrior!”

"Leave these good seedlings to the owner to cultivate!" The green mountains in the distance are still the same, and the green water is flowing. Except for the dozens of damaged houses in the castle town and the dozens of terrifying heads on both sides of Donghai Street, it seems that

Nothing happened.

In the evaluation room of Saijo Castle, there are two rows of people sitting one after another: Isshiki Nagato, the guardian of Yaunao, Yamaoka Awaji, the guardian of Yasumoto, Ohuchi Tajima, Shotobu Sadada, Jukai Tansho Shaotada Yaozuna, Takahashi Deba, Masanobu, and Ogasawara Uzu, Yasumoto.

, Ogasawara An Yunmori Hiroshige, Ehara Tanba Mori Masahide, and Yamamoto Kansuke, as assistants to Kira Manshomaru and important ministers directly under the Kira family, were seated together.

The Kira Isshiki clan has no direct genetic relationship with the four other Isshiki clans in the shogunate. Apart from being both descendants of the Ashikaga clan, the only connection between them is the Honnichi Isshiki village. The first ancestor of the Isshiki clan is the Ashikaga Tai clan.

The seventh son was sealed to the Isshiki Manor near the Kira family, and he and the Kira family were considered cousins. Later, when the Isshiki clan came to the capital, his Isshiki manor became the leader of the Kira family.

During the period of chaos in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Kira Sakyo, the doctor of Mitsuri, was directly subordinate to Ashikaga Naoyi. During Ashikaga Takauji's march to Kanto, Mikawa appeared to hinder him, so he was called "the murderer of Kira-so" by Ashikaga Takauji. The next year, Ashikaga Naoyi was defeated by Ashikaga.

Takauji poisoned him, and Kira Mitsuyoshi had to surrender. It was precisely because he was in the wrong team that the famous Kira clan in the Kamakura period fell into the embarrassing situation of not even getting the protection of Mikawa.

Because the Kira Sada family, who also belonged to the Tojo Kira clan on the side of Ashikaga Naoyoshi, went to Mutsu to serve as the governor of Oshu, fought with the Hatakeyama clan and the Ishita clan who were affiliated with Ashikaga Takauji, and then founded the Oshu Kira clan, so Mikawa East

The ancestral land of the Kira clan was taken over by Kira Mitsuyoshi. After the Kira clan surrendered to the Northern Dynasties, Ashikaga Takauji used his brains on Tojo Castle in order to effectively suppress this powerful clan.

Ashikaga Takauji specially asked the second son of Kira Mitsuyoshi to branch out, personally serve him as the emperor and give him the taboo character "Tun" to show his trust. This person was Kira Takuri, the first generation of Gotojo Kira clan, and the new one.

The established Tojo Kira clan lived up to expectations and opposed the clan's elder brother Kira Mitsada. Subsequently, his descendants have been opposing a clan leader family with the tacit approval of the shogunate. The Mikawa Kingdom has never been peaceful since then.

In order to deal with this annoying branch family, Kira Mitsuyoshi, the father of two brothers, separated several concubine sons to establish separate families to assist the main family in fighting the Tojo Kira clan. They were Isshiki Yugi and Okayama Mitsuru.

The fields of Kang and bridges were full, and they built cities respectively to defend the dominance of the Kira family in Hatzu County.

Later, the Hashida clan became extinct during the Onin Rebellion, and the direct descendants of the Okayama clan also became extinct. Only the Saruyama Okay clan retained this lineage and passed it down from generation to generation. Only the Isshiki clan persisted in preserving it and has always been a powerful branch of the Kira family.

Family governors have received favors from the clan for generations, and this is the case for the current Kira Isshiki family governor Isshiki Yaonao.

Yaomoto Yamaoka is the father of Zenjiro Yamaoka. He also has an older brother, Zentaro Yamaoka, who is the heir to the family governor of the Yamaoka family. Under him, there are two younger sisters who have not yet reached the age of hair. Their family inherited Okayama Castle of the Okayama clan and became Kira.

During the confrontation between the Zong family and the Kira family, they made great contributions.

Zentaro and Zenjiro's mother, Mrs. Naito, was Kira Manshomaru's wet nurse. The two brothers also became Kira Manshomaru's wet nurses. Therefore, Kira Manshomaru was also very close to their family. This is the reason why Zenjiro served as the leader of the side group.
