The small copper bell hanging in the corner of Nimaru rang, which meant that this cordial and friendly discussion was over. Mikawa Fongguo looked at each other's ugly appearance covered with lime, each one like a defeated rooster, never to be seen again. Instead of the arrogant look he had just shown, at the urging of the Kira family's horseback samurai, he was driven to the water channel in Sanmaru to wash away the mark of shame left on his body.
"The idea of the owner is very good! The samurai of Higashi Mikawa must have begun to weigh their status!" Yamamoto Kansuke suddenly appeared next to him like a ghost, almost scaring Kira Mansumaru and throwing the cup in his face. , "Master, please don't be so scary, okay? You don't even make a sound when you walk!"
"But I have been standing here for a long time! Aku can prove this." Yamamoto Kansuke also imitated him and spread his hands, which made Kira Mansomaru almost faint. He turned to look at Aku, who actually smiled at him. He nodded, "Does the nod mean repayment?"
Kansuke Yamamoto walked over to him and sat down cross-legged. Aju quickly took out a clean teacup, filled it with tea and handed it over. The guy took the teacup unceremoniously and took a few sips slowly, his beard curled up twice to show a satisfied look. , leisurely said: "What a delicious tea! Speaking of which, the owner has already prepared it, right?"
"?" Kira Manshomaru, who was still arguing about wasting his sencha, was stunned and looked at him with a question mark on his face: "What are you ready for?"
"The expenses for going to Luo are collected! The total number of Saijo Bei, Ma Huizhong, Shikinzhong, and Mikawa Fengzhong is more than 1,600 people! This is an unprecedented trip to Sanluo. There is no precedent for such a large scale. , and the expenses for going to Luo and the consumption of food and grass are a lot of money, the museum owner must have thought about this problem!" Yamamoto Kansuke naturally looked at Kira Mansomaru, who also showed no signs of weakness and his The master and craftsman looked at each other.
"...My eyes hurt so much! I'm going to cry! Red deer and wild wolf!" Kira Manshomaru once again suffered a humiliating defeat to Yamamoto Kansuke, and thought dejectedly: "Two eyes can't stand one eye! Am I doomed? Can’t you beat Linen Motorcycle to death?”
"Anyway, I'll leave this matter to the master!" Yamamoto Kansuke sipped the tea and asked Aju to teach him how to make tea when he had time, before Shi Shiran walked out of the small castle.
"This old man doesn't respect me at all! Bastard! Bastard!" Kira Mansomaru grabbed mochi dumplings and vented his frustration. His good mood was ruined by Kansuke Yamamoto, but he still had no choice but to do anything to him.
"But Yamamoto-sama is a good man!" Akiku seemed to be very happy to add water to his teacup. She looked at Yamamoto Kansuke who walked into Ermaru with a look of reverence. She clasped her hands together in a prayer gesture: "It is Yamamoto-sama who made my family happy." The business is getting more and more prosperous! The citizens of the castle town love this kind old man very much! So does Aju!"
"Okay! Maybe you are right!" Kira Manshomaru hugged mochi and hid aside, drawing circles, and cursed with tears in his eyes: "Obviously it's my credit! It's me! Why are everyone talking about the chicken? !This is unscientific!”
After the trial, another interesting thing happened. The samurai named Sadyuki Okuhira felt that it was a shame to be defeated by Watanabe Takatsuna with one move, so he stopped him and claimed to do it again. , Watanabe Takasuna didn't know what to think, but he agreed in public. As a result, Okuhira Sadayuki was defeated brilliantly again, and he was stronger than last time and lasted at least five rounds.
Instead of being convinced, the defeated Okuhira Sadayuki got up again and issued a new challenge. Watanabe Takazuna could only defeat him again and again. Okuhira Sadayuki, who had been defeated many times, seemed to be at loggerheads with him and refused to admit defeat. Challenged again and again, he was knocked down again and again. In the end, even Watanabe Takatsuna got fed up and cut Okuhira Sadayuki's spear in two to end this meaningless fight.
After this incident, Okuhira Sadayuki was nicknamed "The Handsman Bull", which described Okuhira Sadayuki as a paranoid bull who persevered and persevered. However, it seems that Okuhira Sadayuki was not ashamed, and probably felt that calling him Being a "barbarian cow" is a kind of complimentary reward.
Watanabe Takatsuna's reputation as "Gun Hanzo" is getting louder and louder, and some people even privately call him "The No. 1 Gun in Mikawa and Eight Counties." The Watanabe clan, who are skilled in the swordsmanship of Ryokudera, are obviously much better than these farmhands.
Mikawa's public servants were convinced of the Kira family's samurai. Everyone prepared their horses, and more than half of them knew the art of horseback riding, because the Kira family itself had a family tradition of horsemanship, and the Ogasawara clan also had family members. The art of archery and horsemanship has been passed down from generation to generation, so the basic quality of the samurai is much higher than that of the Mikawa warriors.
In addition, Saijo Bei's powerful combat effectiveness was beyond everyone's expectations, which made the Mikawa samurai's evaluation of the Kira family rise to several levels. In particular, Yamamoto Kansuke, who trained this reserve team, was even called a famous Mikawa general. The unknown Kamikira family completely suppressed the momentum of the lower Kira family.
Kira Manshomaru is worried again. Although there is quite a lot of annual tribute from the autumn harvest, he cannot take away the 18,800 kanmon to maintain the operation of the Saijo Territory and normal food consumption. He is about to go to Anxiang City. Military expenses and post-war rewards will all come from here, and he can only withdraw three thousand Guan Wenju money at most.
What is the use of three thousand Guan Wenju money? At most, it can buy more than three thousand stones of food, but it can provide food and clothing for more than 1,600 people, training funds, damage costs of weapons and equipment, and payment of salaries. Shangluo will cost a lot of money and materials to pay for the imperial court and the shogunate's materials. Three thousand Guan Wen and Yongle money may be enough, so just save money.
"Let's open the inner treasury!" Kira Mansomaru sighed. It would definitely be impossible to move the inner treasury, but he was unwilling to do so. Speaking of which, this was the first ancestor of the Kira family, Shin Midōden Kiraichi. It was built during the Shigetsu era, and the inner treasury was only used twice during the Shigetsu Uprising and Ashikaga Takauji's rebellion. The last time the inner treasury was used was during the Onin Rebellion and the Shimo-Kira family's war, more than eighty years ago.
"It seems that I, Kira Manshomaru, am going to be an unworthy descendant!" I muttered a few words of apology silently at the castle tower, and called Yamaoka Zenjiro and Isshiki Shiro. Isshiki Shiro was the legitimate son of Isshiki Yaonao, and was directly sent by his father to become Kira Manshomaru. Because of this problem, Yamaoka Zenjiro complained for several days, but as a member of the same race, there was nothing he could do about it.
Isshiki Shiro and Yamaoka Zenjiro knelt in front of him, blocking the way, and begged: "Master! Do you really want to open the inner treasury? But my family has not opened the inner treasury for many years!"
"Okay! You all get up! I need money and food from Lord Luo Feng. Without money, what will you eat? A samurai is still a samurai if he doesn't have food?" Kira Manshomaru helplessly called on the people around him to pull them up, and promised again and again: "This time I will only pay the fees for Shangluo. I will never waste a penny more. Do you understand?"
"Yes! Your Majesty understands!" The two of them looked at each other and could only follow him towards the inner treasury with a grimace.
