On the night of August 27th, after retrieving two treasures, Kira Manshomaru was busy with another thing. Before leaving Mikawa, Kira Manshomaru decided to do something meaningful again. This thing was to give Nagao
Kagetora wrote a long letter, "Since I have already deviated from the orthodoxy, I don't care to do more. I want to use my own power to stir up the Sengoku period. Let's start with the future Echigo Dragon Nagao Kagetora!"
The letter was quickly written, folded, and sealed with clay. This letter would be forwarded to Echigo by the Hattori ninja through his own intelligence channel. In the future, it would be passed on to Nagao Kagetora through a certain channel. Although the process is long, it can be guaranteed to be accurate.
Delivered to the designated target without fail, the professional level of Iga ninjas is still very high.
In the early morning of August 28, more than 1,600 people gathered outside Saijo Castle. Together with the family members brought by the samurai, the accompanying civilian husbands, and Hida craftsmen, there were a total of 2,300 people. The overnumber was a bit excessive, but fortunately Saijo
Ninety-nine percent of the people in Beili are not married yet, and the situation in the public is similar, otherwise the number of entourage would have to be doubled.
Facing the unexpectedly large number of people, Kira Manshomaru felt very headache. Fortunately, there were thirty-five carriages, five of which were filled with women and children, and the remaining thirty held twenty-three thousand guan.
For money, Nobuzhen Dakouchi is very efficient. He exchanged 4,000 Yongle coins for 18,500 coins. It seems that the quality of the money is very good. I don’t know which businessman is so popular.
The misfortune fell into his hands.
Before leaving, Ohuchi Nobuzada took out the fifty pack horses from Kira's house and said to Kira Mansomaru: "Since the owner is going to Luo, let's take these pack horses with him! Each horse can carry one stone and five measures of sea salt. That's right."
This is the only thing we and others can do for the master of the museum!"
"Master, please accept our wishes!" This time, the family members were very united, and the family governor who went to Luo to worry about the gains and losses only lost people's hearts. Therefore, Nobuzada Ohuchi raised the issue of pack horses and didn't think much about it. Originally, he was just transporting salt.
The common property from the sale was taken out and given to Kira Mansongmaru this time, and each person suffered a loss of several hundred guan.
"Okay! I understand what you mean." Japan has always been short of horses. Especially in Western Japan, there are no horse farms at all. All horses come from relatively remote areas such as Kanto, Hokuriku, Koshishin, and Oshu. The pack horses are poor horses that cannot be controlled.
, each horse is worth between 30 and 40 guanwen, and if fifty horses are sold, it will be a huge sum of money.
Ohuchi Nobuzada took the initiative and took out all the packhorses used by the Kira family to transport supplies, filled them with seventy-five koku of salt, and transported them to Owari. Mino earned more than three hundred koku as soon as he sold them, which was basically enough to pay for the trip to Luka. It was simple
The practice meeting ended soon. At the beginning of the hour, Kira Manshomaru got on his horse and said to the retainers behind him: "I am leaving! I leave the whole Kira family to you! Please take care of yourself!"
"We will do our best to serve the public and live up to the great trust of the master!" The retainers of the Kira family knelt down in unison.
"Okay! Enough chatter! I'm leaving!" Kira Manshomaru shouted "Let's go", and the long team started to slowly move like a huge machine. In the eyes of the townspeople who knelt down all the way, they went to Kamiro.
The team left Saijo Castle.
"Master, please take care of yourself!" the members shouted, only to see Kira Manshomaru waving goodbye to them in the distance.
The section of Tokaido that connects to Owari is called Hatzu Street. Go west and pass through Kariya Castle, the residence of the Mizuno clan, which belongs to the Oda clan, and you will enter the core area of the Owari Oda family. On both sides of Atsuta Street stands Narumi Castle.
From Otaka Castle, continue on and you will arrive at Atsuta Shrine. Atsuta Shrine is not only the third palace of Owari Province, but Atsuta Town is also the most famous commercial town in Owari Province. Atsuta Town can even be regarded as the epitome of the commercial prosperity of Tokaido.
Atsuta Jingu Shrine has a great reputation. Even tourists from later generations who don’t know anything about Japan have heard of this name. In fact, it is indeed quite famous because the daughter of Atsuta Grand Shrine, Fujiwara Nozomi, married the sixth generation leader, Genoyoshi.
He became the principal wife, and later gave birth to seven generations of pillars, Gen Yorishio. As for the three artifacts, just take a look.
Since the Kofun Period, the Japanese royal family has used the three artifacts as important props for the enthronement ceremony. By the Asuka Period, it gradually became a symbol of the emperor's legitimacy. However, all this ended at the end of the Genpei War. With the defeat of the Taira clan,
During the battle of Dan-no-ura, the eight-year-old Emperor Ande was held by his grandmother and two nuns and jumped into the sea with three artifacts in his hands, and went to the Undersea Ryugu to establish his underground court.
This move by Emperor Anto destroyed the legitimacy of the Japanese imperial family. His brother, Emperor Gotoba, did not have the Three Sacred Treasures, so he could only rely on Goshirakawa-in's announcement to succeed to the throne. During the Kenmu period, Emperor Go-Daigo gave up the throne.
Thinking about it, I got a fake three artifacts as a symbol of the legitimacy of my royal family, emphasizing that my Southern Dynasty was orthodox, and the Northern Dynasty without the three artifacts was a pseudo-regime.
During the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu period, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were finally unified together. As a result, Ashikaga Yoshinori died in the Kaji Rebellion. Within two days, the remaining ministers of the Southern Dynasty had the three artifacts stolen. More than ten years later, it is said that three more artifacts were found.
The artifacts have been used until now. In short, the so-called three artifacts are high-imitation versions of fakes, or high-imitation copies of fakes. Worshiping them is not as good as worshiping the ancestors.
In order to show his respect to Atsuta Shrine, Kira Manshomaru still presented Yongle money five guanwen, a handful of ribs, and a handwritten prayer: "May the troubled times be brought to an end and the shogunate be revived."
That night, Kira Manshomaru found Yamamoto Kansuke and asked him about the trip to Kamiro, but the chief retainer gave a surprising answer: "Take the waterway from Atsuta Town to Tsushima, and then take a boat north to enter Omi Province via the Mino Pass.
This is the itinerary to Luo that I have made for the host."
"What a fool! Don't joke with me! Isn't it nonsense to go north along Tsushima? Saito Toshimasa is an ally of the Oda family. If I bring more than 2,000 people and pass by his door, isn't it a suicide?" Kira Mansumaru said again
You're not stupid. You don't need to think too much about this simple logic to understand that Saito Douzan is not someone to be trifled with. If he bites you, wouldn't it be more deceiving than staying in Mikawa to surrender the Imagawa family?
Yamamoto Kansuke nodded noncommittally and asked: "Then in the opinion of the museum owner, which path should we take?"
"Of course, we should take the route from Ise Kuwana County through Shikarin Pass, then Iga, Koka and Kinai. There are no powerful daimyo in this section. It is much safer than taking Mino!" He reported this without thinking much.
There are three main land routes into the Kinai. The Hokuriku one is not included. The Higashiyama Dou road takes the Mino Pass, and the Tokaido road takes the Ise Shikasu Pass. You can pass through Iga at will.
It’s no problem to travel through Yamato country and then go north to Kyoto.
"But my views are completely opposite to those of the host. It is safer to go to Mino than to go to Iga and Koka. The people of Iga and Koka have never bought the shogunate's account. The host of the host is using the banner of going to Luo to protect the shogunate.
It has no effect. Wherever the two thousand troops of my Kira family pass by, there will be a lot of chaos. Whether they can pass safely is still a question!"
"Isn't there Hattori Ishimi Mamoru? He is from Iga country. With him opening the way, we can definitely solve these problems, right?" Kira Manshomaru retorted with some guilt.
