"After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late and autumn comes; the bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow... Qingqiu after the rain is really a unique scenery." The long mountain road winds and connects to the distant mountains, and Kira Mansongmaru pulls it. Yamamoto Kansuke stood on the hillside and looked at the beautiful scene of lakes and mountains.
"Master, you'd better hurry up! I still have important matters to deal with." Yamamoto Kansuke urged with a grimace. He was already so busy that he couldn't even touch the ground, but Kira Manshomaru forced him to visit the Mikawa Nakajo clan, saying that it was for an excuse. In the name of Shangluo, he won over the people of the Mikawa country to strengthen his reputation. He set out early in the morning before dawn, crossed Bihai County and went deep into the mountains of Kamo County.
"I know! Master is really a lackluster person!" Kira Manshomaru murmured twice before urging his mount to rush down the mountain. Yamamoto Kansuke and the horseback samurai followed quickly, and only Yamaoka Zenjiro hurriedly drove his steed. He carefully went down the mountain, but he couldn't catch up with the horse and returned to the warrior.
It was not once or twice that Yamaoka Zenjiro suffered from this bad horse. Although his riding and shooting skills were very high, he was secretly laughed at by the samurai warriors just because he ran the slowest every time. This made Yamaoka Zenjiro feel very helpless. He couldn't bear it, so he swore in his heart: "Asshole! I will definitely sell this horse when I go back! I will never regret it!"
Not mentioning the grudge between Yamaoka Zenjiro and the rogue horse, Kira Manshomaru's team soon arrived at Fist City. The Nakajo clan was curious about the visit of the Kira family governor who had not interacted with him for decades, because they had not seen each other for decades. There were letters exchanged every day, and Kira Manshomaru's visit was expected. The lord of Fist City, Nakajo Dewa Mori Tsunetaka, personally came to greet him and gave the distinguished guest the highest courtesy.
During the Muromachi period, Mikawa Kingdom's status in the shogunate can be said to be very special. The shogunate's public institutions were basically equivalent to the imperial family system in the Kamakura period, except that the imperial family's power to participate in political discussions was weakened and turned into a simple armed force directly under the shogunate. The general public is martial arts families from various territorial countries, and Chinese families with military exploits.
There are forty Feng Gong families in Mikawa. Basically, the famous Chinese wealthy families in Mikawa are all from Feng Gong. These families have not been going to the shogunate for generations. In the past forty years, due to the decline of the power of the shogunate, they have gradually cut off their intention to go to Luo. , focused on expanding their influence in Mikawa country, and then the Imagawa family's power expanded, and Matsudaira Kiyoyasu's rise and fall like a comet, all of which dealt a big blow to the public in Mikawa country.
Speaking of the Mikawa Nakajo clan, it is also a famous samurai family. The family comes from the famous Ono courtier clan, which has been active in history since the Nara period. The most famous Ono girl among the first ancestors was ranked into the Rokugesen three times during the Heian period. Thirty-Six Songs Fairy, Ono Komachi of the Thirty-six Songs Fairy, and Ono Huang, who is known as the "Wild Prime Minister" and other celebrities.
During the Heian period, Ono Ono's descendant Musashi kept Ono Takayasu in the Musashi Kingdom, and his son Ono Yoshitaka moved to Yokoyama, Tama County, South of Musashi Kingdom. Due to the Miao name, it was changed to the Yokoyama clan and many branches spread, forming the very famous Musashi in the Genpei era. The leader of the seven parties is the Yokoyama Party. In the early Kamakura period, the very famous samurai Nakajo clan can be regarded as the founder of the Nakajo family. Nakajo Kanetsuna, the father of the Nakajo clan, led the Lang party to join the army when Minamoto Yoshio raised his troops, and led the Nakajo party in the Genpei army. He joined the war, and made great achievements in the joint war of Oshu.
This Nakajo patriarch was elected as a Zaemon captain because his father and ancestors had followed Minamoto Yoshitomo and Minamoto Yoshio in raising the army. During the Jokyu Rebellion, he and Oe Hiromato served as the Kamakura shogunate's remaining guards and were awarded the Owari guardianship. Mikawa Gao In the first year of Kaoru's reign as the head of the Qiaoshuo district, he held the post of Dewa Mamoru, one of the five members of the evaluation committee, and directly participated in the formulation of the Kamakura shogunate's famous decree "Imperial Success and Failure Shiki". With the support of the Hojo clan, he gained the title of leader of the Yokoyama Party and became famous all over the world.
The distant ancestor is too glorious to explain anything, but the recent ancestor of the Nakajo clan is not bad at all. It is Nakajo Ideha Mori Nagahide who founded the Nakajo style of war. Nakajo Nagahide once worshiped under Nenami Jien, the founder of Nenryu. One of the "Fourteen Nen-ryu Philosophers", he later created the Nakajo-ryu by combining the swordsmanship inherited from the Nakajo family with Nen-ryu. His status in the Muromachi period was very high and he was valued by successive shoguns.
It is also worth mentioning that the Nakajo family also had a very famous branch, the Tomita clan. After blending the essence of several other schools that emerged in the Muromachi period, the Nakajo-ryu was used as the basis to create the Tomita-ryu art of war. It is very famous in the Riku and Kinki areas, and is also a famous school comparable to Katori Shinto-ryu, which is famous in the East Kingdom.
Because of the special status of the swordsman and the ancestors who were famous all over the world, the Nakajo family has always had a high status among the shogunate public. Because they have served as judges for generations, they are called Nakajo judges. However, bad luck later made the family He was also targeted by Ashikaga Yoshitaka, who was "terrified by thousands of people", and was wrongfully punished. In the thirty-sixth year of Takahashi village, Tomoyo led a total of 36,000 kusen, and his family fell into ruin.
However, his family was very lucky. With the outbreak of the Kagichi Rebellion, Ashikaga Yoshitaka was defeated by Akamatsu Mitsuyo, and then the shogunate was in chaos, and there was no time to deal with the punishment of the Nakajo family. The Nakajo family He also relied on his connections to find Hosokawa Katsumoto and explain it to him. Not only did he get back the confiscated family income, but he also returned to the shogunate to serve as an assessor.
It's just that the fate of this family is also closely related to the shogunate. As the shogunate gradually declined, their family also fell into an irreversible decline. In the second year of Tenmon (1533), it was the governor of the Nakajo family, Nakajo Dewa Mori Tsunetaka. , led his family's retainers, Lang Dang, and fought a battle with Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, who had invaded his family's territory, and Zainano.
With his family's level and the mighty Matsudaira Kiyoyasu colliding with each other, what good results can there be? The result is self-evident. After being severely repaired by Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, the Nakajo family almost even lost their pants and retreated to the mother city of the fist. They failed to get out and never recovered from the fall. In the end, they lost people and land. The heads of more than 20 villages in Kamo County also said goodbye to the Nakajo family.
Perhaps he was frightened by Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, or perhaps the governor of the Nakajo family was frightened out of his wits. He has been shrinking for more than ten years. Whether it was the Imagawa family or the Oda family who called, this stubborn Nakajo family Even Jouteha Mamoru couldn't stand back, like a conservative wretch, trying to use this method to save the family business, but is it effective? Kira Manshomaru is very doubtful.
Entering the Ohiro Room of the Fist City, after the guest of honor sat down with each other and exchanged formal polite greetings, Kira Manshomaru decisively proposed to invite Nakajo Tsunetaka to go to Luo Fenggong to support the shogunate. As expected, the stubborn Nakajo Dewa Mori Tsunetaka immediately refused and returned. He swore that his family business was in dire straits and he wanted to live and die in the mother city of Quan.
"This guy must have been scared out of his mind by Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, right?" Kira Manshomaru glanced at the old-looking Nakajo Tsunetaka, and then turned to look at Yamamoto Kansuke. This guy was sitting there in a daze with an expressionless face, and he was angry.
Don't come anywhere.
Kira Manshomaru made one last effort: "Deha Morden should think about it again!"
"After careful consideration, I have decided not to go to Shangluo. I'm sorry! Your Highness Kira!" Nakajo Tsunetaka's expression was so stiff that he couldn't even make a decent expression.
Since the fall of the shogun's family, Feng Gong from Mikawa Kingdom has not gone to Luo Feng Gong for decades. No matter how much the government urges these guys to go to Luo, it can't stop their determination to hold on to the family business. The same is true for Izuku Mamoru, who revitalizes the family business and regains what he has lost.
The territory of Kamo County is his biggest dream in life, to go to Luo to serve the public? He has never thought about it.
"Stubborn guy! His head is as rigid as marble! No wonder I didn't hear about the Nakajo family's future! A stupid governor killed the entire family!" Seeing that his words were almost worn out but still had no effect, Kira Mansumaru made a decisive decision
He stood up to say goodbye, and when he was about to walk out of the wide room with a gloomy look on his face, a voice came from behind him: "Your Highness Kira! Please wait a moment!"
"Has the old stubborn figured it out?" Kira Mansomaru was secretly happy. He turned around calmly and looked at the gray-haired Nakajo Dewa Mori Tsunetaka who was over forty years old. He sighed and said, "Please understand that I cannot follow Kira.
Your Majesty Luo Fenggong’s difficulties..."
"I understand! If you have anything else to say, Dewa-den, just say it!" Kira Manshomaru got up in a hurry in the morning and only ate two rice balls. He rode a bumpy ride and sat for an hour. His stomach was already growling with hunger.
, so I simply interrupted his unnecessary behavior of going around in circles, which meant that I was very busy and had no time to play around in circles with you.
