When it comes to marching formations and strategic deductions, there are always endless topics to talk about. Yoshitoki Kira and Masatora Uesugi are both masters of military strategy. Among the sixty-six countries in the world, they are probably at the forefront.
, and Honda Tokimasa and Namioka Sobo are also top-notch strategists. Although Hosokawa Fujitaka has led government affairs for many years and has not participated in planning, his own military strategy and strategic skills are also at the top level, and he has argued with many advisers.
Not at any disadvantage.
Somehow it came up with the use of troops and men. Kira Yoshiki sighed casually: "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. The Ashikaga family of my superiors has no shortage of famous generals. The only thing we lack is simple generals who are good at fighting. Taki
Although Kawa Tokimasu, Shima Tokikatsu, Kakizaki Keie, and Saito Asanobu are famous, I still need more samurai like Shitara Sadachi, Miyabe Tsurun, Ueno Ienari, and Arakawa Nagami.
A kind of unknown samurai is the cornerstone of the Ashikaga clan."
"Eh? Is it time to eat again in the blink of an eye? Please atone for your sins, my lord. The main room at home is still waiting for me to start, so I have to leave first!" Nangokang Soupohu didn't care about the eyes of his companion Honda Tokimasa, and stood on the floor.
He bowed and bowed, and it was an acceptable reason for him to have his newlywed wife guarding the door and waiting for him to eat. The main theme of the life of the samurai was nothing more than war, land, and women.
Looking at Hosokawa Fujitakagami's expression of not thinking about Shu, Kiragi suddenly realized that these guys were all married to the beautiful daughters of the Numata family, and they were living a happy life.
It was a bit unkind to stay up all night and repeatedly discuss a strategy that had been settled for a long time. In fact, he himself felt hungry.
Pointing at a few young warriors, he smiled and cursed: "Let's break up! This evaluation meeting is about the same. If we continue to discuss it, we will just talk about family matters. Everyone should go back to their homes to find their wives! I will go back to accompany my wives."
"
On the way back to the Imperial Palace, I met Oku walking out of the Imperial Palace again. The Saito family's Shikiya is located in a private courtyard with flat terrain in Ninomaru. It is only a short walk from the Main Maru, so Aku almost every day
They all brought all kinds of cakes to the imperial palace. Firstly, they could come and see their two precious daughters Guangji and Mingji. Secondly, her husband was unable to come back from the Vietnam-China Front, so he had nothing to do with the imperial palace in this imperial palace.
Have a chat to relieve your boredom.
Whether it is flour, rice flour, eggs, sugar, fruits, peanuts, almonds, sesame seeds, and various spices, all the ingredients used to make pastries are purchased at cost through Biwaya, and the made pastries are brought to the Imperial Palace.
She was very popular. Several women in the imperial palace had a very good relationship with Aju, and they would always give her daughter silks, jewelry and all rare things for her household every now and then.
Akiku's pastry craftsmanship is well-known in Kasugayama Castle. Family members living in the city often come to her to learn how to make exquisite and delicious pastries. For example, the wives of Yukitaka Sanada, Nagatoki Ogasawara and Kenmasa Uesugi come here very frequently.
, it is said that these women are discussing to choose a good garden in Ninomaru as a hall to learn cooking skills and exchange experiences, just like those girls who are waiting for marriage to open a poetry club.
When he saw Kira Yoshi, he came over and said a quick blessing. Kira Yoshi smiled and invited her to stay here for dinner, but she smiled and refused. It always felt strange to have dinner here after having lunch, and Kira Yoshi also
I knew she was trying to avoid suspicion. After all, she was a married woman from the Wu family who had given birth to children. She was no longer the silly and stupid maid sister.
She could be close to several imperial concubines in the Imperial Palace, but she always avoided the master Kira Yoshitomo. Instead of worrying about Kira Yoshitoki doing something outrageous, she was actually worried that her reputation would be damaged.
Or she herself brought a disgraceful influence, so how could she face Saito Nobunobu, and how could she face the several princes in the imperial palace?
Kira Yoshitsune didn't like this feeling, but he had no choice. If he had intended to keep Aku, how could he have allowed Saito Asanobu to have his way, and just take it into his harem and enjoy it early? It's just that in these years, he has always regarded Aku as a child.
From the perspective of her own sister, Aju was just an idiot who didn't understand the relationship at that time. The two of them have always maintained a pure sister-sister relationship. It wasn't until they faced Saito Asanobu's passionate pursuit that they realized what was going on. Now, finally,
It’s not easy to get enlightened either.
Just when Kira Yoshi was lamenting the changes in the world and that his sister Aju had her own life, he saw Princess Aya walking out of the imperial palace. It seemed that she came with Aju. Since the two families became in-laws,
The relationship between Princess Aya and Aju deepened day by day, and they became good sisters without knowing it. They happened to be only four years apart in age. Now Princess Aya is just a charming beauty who has just turned 30.
Gorgeous woman.
Kira Yoshishi secretly swallowed her saliva and hurriedly lowered her head to salute her. The weather was getting warmer. Princess Aya rolled up her gown around her waist and tied up a bow with a thin belt. Two plump balls appeared in front of her silk fabric.
There are still a few beads of sweat on the snow-white neck, like a white begonia bathed in water. There is a trace of flush on the delicate cheeks, and there are faint traces of sweat on the wings of the nose.
"Where are you looking at, Yisei?"
"I'm looking...ah! I'm not looking at anything!" Meeting Princess Aya's half-smiling eyes, Kiragi suddenly felt a chill that chilled him from head to toe. It was so cold that he was sweating and didn't know how to deal with it.
, it can’t be said that he was intimidated by her grace, so wouldn’t he, a clean and self-sufficient guy, become a prodigal son?
"But I just saw a pair of eyes staring at my breasts like hooks! Hahaha..." As she said this, Princess Aya burst into laughter, making Kira Yoshi's head full of black lines from laughter.
He has experienced the boldness and vigor of this Echigo woman, especially the wife of the samurai family who has been married and had children. She really dares to say anything. If you let him, a good gentleman from a famous samurai family, be shot accidentally, those middle and lower-level samurai
Women often encounter their men bringing a group of samurai to the house to drink, and they make some non-vegetarian jokes. Those ladies should be bolder and more aggressive!
"Okay! I won't tease you anymore. I also know that those in the Imperial Palace have either just given birth or have not grown up yet. If you really feel uncomfortable holding back, just vent your anger to the maids in the Imperial Palace.
It’s not like you don’t know Hu Ji’s temperament, it doesn’t matter if you accept all the maids in this imperial palace. But don’t let your pedantry get you down! You can’t look around at my body!”
Princess Aya smiled and turned around. She took seven or eight maids and left calmly. Kiragi was left standing alone in a daze with his mouth open.
"This Echigo married woman is really... amazing!" He smacked his lips, feeling that he was still too young and couldn't even hold on for one round before retreating.
At this time, it coincides with the sunset in the evening, and the magnificent fire clouds are floating in the breeze. Although Kasuga Mountain is not high, it is still more than 100 meters high. The only advantage of living on this mountain is that the air is exceptionally clean and fresh, almost day and night.
The gentle mountain breeze blowing on the body makes the whole body feel particularly comfortable.
After the scare just now, the heat in his heart was frightened away. He wiped off the drops of sweat on his hair and cursed secretly: "Why is the weather so dry? It seems like it hasn't rained in some days, right?"
Entering the Imperial Palace, the maids were extremely busy and happy. Ever since a few little lives were added to the Imperial Palace, they had no time to spare. In the past, the cats had been lazily dozing together at this hour, but now they don't know when.
The appearance of the little guy who pulled the air-raid sirens completely disturbed their drowsiness, but they also enjoyed it. The unmarried girls were happy to stay busy and serve these young ladies.
Kira Yoshi did not have the dining habits of those ministers. He still invited all four ladies to have a meal together. The family spent a pleasant night enjoying the delicacies. After the meal, they freshened up and dealt with official duties for a while and were about to go to bed. Suddenly, he remembered
When I bumped into Princess Aya in the evening, I couldn't help but feel hot in my heart.
So I walked into the night and came to Hu Ji's room. I opened the paper door and saw her curled up on the tatami in thin clothes. Haitang was sleeping in spring. She sent away the little maid who was keeping watch, and then she quietly got into the quilt.
Inside, a gust of cool breeze woke her up. Hu Ji, who was sleeping in a daze, only smelled a familiar smell, and leaned in his arms in a daze.
Kira Yoshichi secretly laughed at this silly girl's low vigilance. Looking back, she couldn't blame her for not being vigilant. If it weren't for the 100-meter-wide forbidden area outside the imperial palace, the safety of the entire imperial palace would have been the result of Ji's training over many years.
Protected by samurai, kunoichi and maids, and guarded by Kira ninjas on the outside and layers of samurai in the city, she did not dare to let her guard down so much.
Since he was almost assassinated at the long wedding banquet of the village a few years ago, the alert level of Kasugayama Castle has suddenly increased several notches. The tragedy of Nagao Fujikage's family is just a staged drama. As for Kasugayama Castle's
At the alert level, only flies and mosquitoes can fly in, but such a high mountain is enough for flies and mosquitoes to fly in.
After sleeping for a long time, Hu Ji suddenly noticed that her little clothes had been untied, revealing two plump and pink peaks on her chest. Because she did not feed the child herself, the two pink spots only gradually changed.
It was only bright red, and her half-unbuttoned clothes gave her goosebumps when the cool breeze blew. A pair of big cold hands gently caressed her on the mountain peaks, and it didn't take long for her to wake up.
Hu Ji rubbed her eyes and said in surprise: "Hmm...huh? How could there be...eh! Is it your highness?"
Kira Yoshiki leaned over and kissed her earlobe, and breathed softly and said: "If it's not me, is there someone else? Little fool, I am the only man in this imperial palace!"
Hu Ji blushed and said shyly: "No... Hu Ji means why did His Highness come in? Hu Ji didn't even hear the sound!"
"You are like a sleepy little pig. You are not afraid of the cold even after the quilt has been shaken off. When Yu came in, you were still sleeping soundly. Yu Ke held you for a while just now!" Kira Yishi said
One hand was still attacking the mountain, but the other hand was quietly touching the deep valley below. After a while, the sleepy little woman was panting from the tossing.
Even in a war between men and women, one must be well versed in the art of war. Kira Yoshitoki was secretly proud that he had not read the art of war in vain. If Yamamoto Tokiyuki knew that he used the tactics in the art of war here, he might be angry.
When I got sick, luckily I hadn't told anyone about this private idea. The pleasures in the boudoir were a private matter and a secret that no outsider could tell.
Hu Ji slapped off his thief hand, poked him out shyly and said, "Oh, Your Highness, please don't touch me. It's so uncomfortable to make my body so tight that I can't move up or down! Didn't I say you can't touch Hu Ji's body for half a year?"
?Hu Ji will give birth to many babies for His Highness in the future, and her body needs to be taken good care of!"
"Hey! One wrong move and everything is lost! Who told me to say all this so quickly in the first place!" Kiraichi patted his head in annoyance, then came to her side with a shy face and said, "No matter what
Hu Ji can't just let her husband hold it in like this, right? She's been holding it in for more than a year, and if she continues to hold it in like this, it will hurt her body!"
"Your Highness, just bear with me! Hu Ji's body really cannot serve His Highness! Otherwise... or I will ask Yuxu from outside to serve His Highness!" Hu Ji blushed and pushed him away. She is not alone now.
She is the wife of Yoshitoki Kira and the mother of his legitimate son Jinoumaru. Just giving birth to one eldest son does not mean that he can sit back and relax.
You must know that the level of medical care in the Middle Ages was really bad. About one-third of the children from civilian families did not live to be five years old. Even among the nobles, one-tenth of them would die in infancy. Of course, the Ashikaga family did not need to worry too much. They were the most powerful in the world.
There are two great medical sages, one is serving the ministers and generals in Kyoto, and the other is the royal physician of the Ashikaga family in Kasugayama Castle.
But no matter what, the safest way is to have more legitimate children. So she needs to take good care of her body to prepare for having more children in the future. Kira Yoshiki happened to mention when she was pregnant that sexual intercourse was prohibited within six months after giving birth.
It is good for a woman's physical recovery, and the children she will give birth to in the future will be healthier and stronger. Kiragi thought of this at the time and mentioned it casually. He didn't know if this unreliable memory was accurate, but he remembered it anyway.
It was good to ban sexual intercourse for half a year, and the result was firmly remembered by Hu Ji.
You must know that women in this era have a very strong obsession with the reproduction of their children. Perhaps out of instinct or other reasons, when Torahime pestered Kiragi not long after giving birth to the child, she agreed to ban sexual intercourse for half a year.
, in the end, Kira Yoshitomo was so entangled that he had no choice but to agree. Then Naotora and Sandalwood also entangled him to force him to agree, and Kira Yoshitoki had no choice but to bury himself in a trap. All of them agreed at their own peril.
Ji Liangyi slowly reached out to her waist and rubbed his hand without giving up. Xiaoyi said with a flattering smile: "Hey! Is Yu that kind of person? If you want to attack the maid, do you still have to tell me? If you don't do it, you won't do it.
, in the future, when these maids reach the age of twenty, they will ask their families to arrange marriages, but the confidentiality work must be done well, and they cannot be allowed to spread all the private affairs between our boudoirs!"
Hu Ji rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll save you the trouble! Your Highness has already told you this many times! If Your Highness is worried, I will send them out of the palace tomorrow and give them to any number of sons from samurai families."
"That's not necessary. These maids have been serving you for a long time. This little Yuxu is only twelve years old this year, right? She's pretty good. Her small nose and small eyes are very similar to Axu's. It's good to be strict in doing things at such a young age.
!" Kira Yoshishi grinned, and a pair of thieving hands touched two important areas.
Hu Ji twisted her body slightly, pressed one of his hands under her waist, stretched out her white arm to catch his other hand that was retreating, looked at him with a smile and said: "Tama Ou is Nagao Hoshiro Jingqiu
His biological sister, even A Xu’s younger sister, of course she looks very similar! Your Highness doesn’t care about Hu Ji at all, and can’t even remember these things, but Hu Ji told His Highness!”
"Oh! That's it! I really haven't thought much about the affairs of you women. It's enough to serve you two all day long, hahaha..." Kira Yoshi looked at the two people in embarrassment.
With the heavy door being broken open, he didn't dare to force his hands out, so he could only smile without embarrassment: "Today's night is very nice... By the way! So what happened to Yu when he came back today?"
Onee-sama, why are you covered in sweat?"
Torahime let go of his hands and said triumphantly: "Sister-in-law! She is playing Yabusame archery in the back garden of the Imperial Palace! Onee-sama's Yabusame archery is very powerful! It is said that in Sakado Castle
When I was young, I once competed with my brother-in-law in a dog-chasing competition. As a result, my sister shot and killed more ferocious dogs than my brother-in-law! All the sons and daughters of my Nagao family are so powerful, and Torahime is also very powerful!
By the way, Sister Aju also participated in the archery competition in the afternoon. However, Sister Aju was not good at riding a horse and only shot two kettles of fifteen. Sisters Huji and Zhihu had just given birth and could not ride horses, so they accompanied Aju.
Sister Ju and I competed together for a while, but neither of us had as much fun as my elder sister! When we were at our peak, we even shot to death two white doves that flew over the Imperial Palace!"
Kira Yoshishi suddenly realized: "Oh? It's so powerful!"
Seeing that the man did not dare to move any more, Hu Ji leaned into his arms and whispered: "Of course! Your Highness came back very late recently, so I don't know. It has been warm and sunny days recently, and the temperature is not very high.
It’s a good time for outdoor activities. In addition to walking and chatting, we also play hut, archery and various board games to pass the time. We don’t feel bored when we gather together to chat. I feel that the time passes very quickly.
It’s there!”
"That's good! As long as you don't feel bored, it's fine. I will spend more time with you." Kiragi held Hu Ji's waist and kissed her forehead softly, feeling the warm nephrite in his arms and enjoying this to the fullest.
Warm and beautiful time.
The two hugged each other in silence for a long time. When Kiragi was about to drift off to sleep, he heard Torahime suddenly say: "Oh, I have forgotten this! Zhenou Maru's wet nurse got sick for some reason.
These days, Sister Aju has been feeding the children with milk! I have been thinking that I didn’t carefully select the wet nurse when I was looking for it. Sister Aju is a nice person and I feel relieved. How about letting Sister Aju be Zhenwangwan’s wet nurse?
"
Kira Yoshi looked at her in shock: "Huh? Sister Aju still has...what? Aren't the two children Guangji and Mingji sent here long ago? Yu also arranged for two wet nurses, speaking of two
The child will be two years old in a few months, right? Is there really any more? It couldn’t be Hu Ji coaxing Yu!"
"Of course there is! As long as there are children who are breastfeeding, there will always be children! There are many children who are breastfeeding until they are five years old!" Hu Ji rolled her eyes at him again and said: "If you don't tell me this, Sister Aju won't worry about the two of them.
The wet nurse also felt very sorry for the two children and came to feed the two sisters every day. The two wet nurses had been sent back long ago! But His Highness didn't seem to notice. Speaking of which, the two children were eating from their own mother.
They have grown up with breast milk! I have only weaned the two children this month, and it just so happened that Zhenwangwan’s wet nurse fell ill, so I wanted to ask Sister Aju to feed the children."
"By the way, I really didn't pay much attention to the two wet nurses disappearing. Could it be that I only have eyes for you and the children? No! Their sense of existence must be too weak!" Kiragi thought about it carefully, and suddenly
I patted my head and said in annoyance: "I see! It can still be like this! When I was a child, I only had breast milk for one year... wouldn't it be a big loss?"
"Oh! What is your highness thinking? Let's be serious. Does your highness still want to be my concubine?" Hu Ji pulled his sleeves and shook him, almost shaking him out of consciousness.
"Okay, okay! It's all up to you. It would be quite interesting to let sister Aju be Zhenoumaru's wet nurse! Hehe!" Kiragi glanced at the way that Torahime's clothes were open and exposed the mountains, and he couldn't help but touch it again.
, said with a smile: "Speaking of it, I have grown a lot since I gave birth to a child! It has changed from quite large to rich! By the way, is it really not possible tonight?"
The little woman said angrily: "It's really not possible!"
Kira Yoshitoshi's face was like a bitter gourd, and he begged with a shy face: "It's almost six months, can't we be accommodating in advance? How about we discuss it?"
"No, no, no! It's not even a day away!" The little woman kept shaking her head, and suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, when I turn six months next month, my body will
It happens that it is inconvenient to serve His Highness!"
"...You are not giving me a way to survive! No matter what! Just practice the gun-swallowing technique!"
Hu Ji glanced at him again and said in a sweet voice: "I hate it! I knew His Highness would say that. Hu Ji has been ready for it a long time ago!" As he said this, the little woman slowly lay on him, and for a moment the room was filled with spring.
Flirting.
…
On March 30th, under clear skies, a military meeting was held in Kasugayama Castle. Kira Yoshitoki announced at the meeting that he would appoint Masatora Uesugi as general and command eight thousand troops to cross the sea by boat to Fangshengjin City to support the war between Vietnam and China. This time it was
Go for emergency relief instead of stationing for a long time. The number of troops in Vietnam and China is quite large. Kaga can be defeated and retreated in one fell swoop.
Shiina Yasuin went to Noto to rescue Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna with more than 2,000 troops. Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who was stationed at Masuyama Castle, only had more than 10,000 troops. Kakizaki Keie and Saito Asanobu led 5,000 troops at Toyama Castle.
Although all of them are elite troops who have experienced hundreds of battles, the number of troops is still too small, so Yasuda Keimoto can only be appointed as the Castro of Release Tsu Castle, and Keizi Yoshie can be appointed as the Castro of Uozu to recruit local wealthy families.
Stabilize the defense zone.
As soon as the front foot sent Masatora Uesugi away, the back foot bumped into the rushing Shiban and reported: "On February 24, a battle broke out in the Shimizu territory of Mogami County, Dewa Province. His Highness Watanabe led a thousand troops to rescue and retreat.
On the way to retreat, Daihoji Yoshizo was ambushed by an unknown number of troops including Onodera Kagemori, Mogami Yoshimori, and Date Terumune. He led the army alone to hold on for an hour, and finally the entire army was destroyed. His Highness Watanabe was slightly injured.
Returned to Mipo City with dozens of remaining soldiers.
On February 28th, the Battle of Miura Castle broke out in Tagawa County, Dewa Province. His Highness Naito led 1,500 defenders and 1,500 remnant troops from Daihoji Temple to defend the castle. Onodera View Road, Mogami Yoshimori, and Date Teru
Mune launched an attack on Miura Castle with approximately 8,000 troops, but was successfully repulsed by His Highness Naito. At the same time, His Highness Watanabe, who was stationed near Sakata Port, led 1,500 defenders and was also attacked by an unknown number of troops.
When they found that the resistance was tenacious, they retreated hastily.
From February 28th to March 15th, the Dewa people's army launched more than 60 attacks on Miura Castle. On March 18, the second battle of Miura Castle broke out. This time, the Dewa people
The number of the coalition forces exceeds 13,000, and His Highness Naito has repeatedly successfully repelled the attacks of the Itoha people, and successfully defeated the attempts of Saragoshi Ujiwei and Raiji Ujihide to open Otemon and dedicate the city."
Kira Yoshitsune picked up the battle report and was shaking with anger. He pointed at the dusty Shiban and cursed: "Why did the information come so late? Why didn't I know anything about the changes in Dewa Country? What have you been doing for more than a month?
?”
"Your Majesty is guilty! The intelligence source of Dewa Country has only been initially established. You really have to bear the great trust of the Lord!" Mochizuki Yoshinaga hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, Hattori Masakiyoshi also followed suit, and then Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was in charge of the investigation, also followed suit.
Honda Tokimasa and Namio Sotobo, as counselors, did not plan to go to this point but also followed suit to plead guilty, and then the whole wide room knelt down to plead guilty.
"I know I can't blame you for this. Dewa Country is not the direction of my progress at all, but I want to ask why it took so long for this information to be sent to Kasugayama Castle?" Kira Yoshitoshi waited for the envoy to scold: "Masaki defends the castle.
There is no time to manage. It is understandable that Takazuna is injured and guarding Sakata Port. What are the other samurai doing? Can't they write a letter asking for help? Why does it take so long?"
"Your Majesty, we are not delaying intentionally. It is because the Dewa Nationalist Army blocked Sakata Port and besieged Miura Castle so that the information could not be sent out. His Highness Watanabe even wrote dozens of letters asking for help, but nothing came to mind. In the end, he was forced to lead his army to rush out.
After attacking the Dewa Allied Forces outside the city, I also attracted the Dewa Japanese Army who was trying to grab the gate, and I was able to escape from Miura Castle. I then made a full circle to avoid the Dewa Japanese Army that was staying with His Highness Watanabe outside Sakata Port, and then sneaked into the port.
I rushed back to Echigo by boat to ask for help!" This made me feel so aggrieved that I almost wanted to die. After a long time of confusing explanations, I finally explained the reason clearly.
"In that case, I can't blame you... If I want to blame, I have to blame the people of Dewa. They are simply abominable! Hateful! Killable! Hmph!" Kira Yoshishi tore up the letter asking for help and shouted in a stern voice: "The whole army listens to the order, the army.
Let’s set off for Dewa Country! I won’t be going to Kanto this year, so I have to deal with these clowns first!”
The warriors all bowed down: "I obey the order!"
"In addition, ask Nagao Echizen to stay and guard Kasugayama Castle. Echizen will have a lot of trouble with everything in the city, but Nagao Echizen will stay at Hirai Castle to keep an eye on the movements of the Hojo family in Musashi Province. If necessary, we can use the Ueno army to defend the castle.
Castle, Nakajo Echizenshou went to Niigata Town to sit in the rear as Yu's rear attack base. Don't delay the food and grass support. Honjo Mimasaku returned to Tochio Castle to keep an eye on Mutsu Ashina Mori's movements. Yu didn't want to see that clown jump in again.
, Fujitaka, Masaki, keep an eye on the territory for Yu so that no trouble occurs below."
"I would like to share the Lord's worries!" Nagao Masakai, Nagao Kagenobu, Nakajo Fujisa, Honjo Mino, Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Hattori Masakiyoshi all bowed down and took orders when their names were called.
