On February 4th, the sixth year of Eiroku (1563), in the Kuroda Castle Castle Tower. Yu Qiupei went to personally host a wedding banquet for Naoe Tadayei today and came back after dark. Previously, due to his own reasons, Naoe Tadayei was exiled in order to follow Yu Qiupei.
, separated from his sweetheart. So Yu Qiuping has been helping Naoe Tadayei find a suitable marriage partner in the past few years, and finally found the right one, hoping to make up for Naoe Tadayei. However, he saw that Naoe Tadayei has been carrying his former fiancée with him.
After embroidering the sachet for him, Yu Qiuping understood that the psychological trauma might be irreparable in his lifetime.
After nightfall, Yu Qiuping returned to his bedroom on the top floor of the castle tower. However, while he was still on the second floor, he heard a low sobbing sound from the third floor - that was Yu Qiu Shang's voice.
Yu Qiuping opened the door, only to find Imagawa Feng holding Yu Qiu Shang, talking to him softly, while Yu Qiu Shang kept wiping his tears with his remaining left hand and sobbing softly.
"Dad, Dad!" After seeing Yu Qiuping come back, Yu Qiu Shang struggled to poke his head out of his mother's arms.
·
Yu Qiuping clearly remembered the way Yu Qiu Shang called him daddy for the first time - that was a few months ago, and it was also the time when he just found out that Imagawa Feng was pregnant.
Yu Qiuyou, who grows up very quickly and is very smart at first sight, has long been able to call Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede their parents, and can even speak some simple Chinese and Japanese phrases. Yu Qiuping often talks to Imagawa Kaede at home.
In Chinese, Imagawa Kaede, who is proficient in Chinese, will also respond very naturally - this makes Yu Qiuping feel like he is home. Imagawa Kaede will try his best to speak Chinese at home to make Yu Qiuping happy. Therefore, Yu Qiuyou has
Sometimes I feel very distressed because I can’t tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese.
That evening, Yu Qiu Shang and Yu Qiu You were playing on the tatami. Yu Qiu Ping and Imagawa Kaede were sitting beside them kindly. Suddenly, Yu Qiu Shang didn't know what happened, turned around and shouted indistinctly
One sentence: "Dad!"
Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Feng were stunned on the spot. After a while, they realized that this was the first time Yu Qiu Shang had called dad!
Yu Qiuping directly threw down the rattle in his hand, moved his knees to the side of Yu Qiu Shang in three steps and two steps, hugged his young son, kissed him hard several times, and kept rubbing his brilliance.
little face.
"Be careful with your beard!" Imagawa Kaede patted Yu Qiuping dissatisfiedly, "I didn't shave my beard yesterday, so be careful of pricking the child!"
"I don't care!" Yu Qiuping hugged Yu Qiu Shang in his arms and kissed him on the forehead again excitedly: "You are indeed my son!"
Yu Qiu Shang in Yu Qiuping's arms didn't seem to quite understand why his father was so excited. He opened his big, confused eyes and looked at Yu Qiuping. The appearance of the two brothers inherited the advantages of Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede. It seemed that
It's very handsome.
Just when Yu Qiuping was happily growing up while holding Yu Qiu Shang, Yu Qiuyou stood up with his little mouth pouted, opened his arms in the direction of Yu Qiuping, and shouted crisply: "Dad!"
"You'er, what's wrong?" Yu Qiuping asked casually, still staring at Yu Qiu Shang's small mouth that just said the two syllables of "Dad".
"I want a hug too! Why don't you hug me!" Yu Qiuyou pouted and whispered.
"Good boy, Yu'er. Didn't You'er call you dad a long time ago? This is the first time for my brother to call you dad." Imagawa Kaede smiled and touched Yu Qiuyou's head, then hugged him into his arms, "
Come, mommy, give me a hug."
·
His thoughts gradually came back, and Yu Qiuping looked at Yu Qiu Shang who was sobbing softly in confusion.
"Shang'er, what's wrong?" Yu Qiuping asked while turning his gaze to Imagawa Feng. The latter's eyes were full of sadness and loneliness, and he shook his head slightly.
"Dad! Dad!" Yu Qiu Shang broke away from Imagawa Feng's arms, staggered to Yu Qiuping's side, grabbed the empty sleeve of his right arm with his left hand, and asked blankly:
"Why don't I have a hand in this sleeve?"
The corners of Yu Qiuping's mouth twitched violently and he swallowed. He had known for a long time that he had to face this day. He had known for a long time that the temporarily happy and innocent Yu Qiu Shang would one day realize his own shortcomings.
, you will realize that you have no right hand.
"Everyone is born different," Yu Qiuping tried to find an excuse to comfort him: "So Shang'er is also different from everyone else!"
"But, but!" Yu Qiu Shang bit his lip and raised his head to look at Yu Qiuping. "Brother has an arm in his right sleeve, my parents have arms in their right sleeves, and sister Long Zi has an arm in her right sleeve.
Sister A Ling has an arm in her right sleeve, everyone has an arm in their right sleeve, why is it that only Shang'er's right sleeve doesn't have an arm?"
Yu Qiuping's heart sank, but he still tried to keep a smile on his lips. He knelt down, touched Yu Qiu Shang's head lovingly, and whispered: "Shang'er, be good, don't think too much. Look, the world
There are so many girls in the world, but everyone is different. Among them, there are not many in the world who are as beautiful as your mother! My mother doesn’t always worry about why she is the only one who is beautiful!”
Although this reason was very far-fetched, Yu Qiu Shang still nodded in understanding and did not ask any more questions. However, Yu Qiu Ping could see from his simple eyes that he was deeply worried and troubled.
·
After this incident, the second thing that bothered Yu Qiuping followed. As soon as the spring plowing ended, Oda Nobunaga issued an order to summon corvees from all the leaders and to collect the funds to build a city on Mount Komaki! Although at home,
There were many voices of opposition, but Oda Nobunaga seemed to have made up his mind, and threatened that anyone who dared to question the Komakiyama fortification plan again was Uchitsu Oda Nobukiyo. At this time, even Niwa Nagahide and others did not know how to dissuade him.
However, Komakiyama Castle will indeed play an extremely important role. According to theoretical calculations, standing on a ten-meter-high castle, a person's field of vision will be nearly 10 miles away. If a castle can really be built in Komakiyama Castle, then
Almost the entire trend in Niwa County was under the eyes of Oda Nobunaga.
On March 14, Oda Nobunaga ordered each lord to send corvees and funds to Mount Komaki. As a lord with 10,000 koku, Ame Qiupei needed to send 150 corvees and 500 koku of funds. For ordinary lords, this was a big deal.
It was not a small amount, but it was not bad for Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping asked Naoe Tadayei to serve as his acting official and led 150 people recruited from the territory to do corvee service in Komaki Mountain.

The really troublesome thing is the third one.
At the end of the first month of this year, the Ichiko Uprising broke out in Mikawa, consisting of followers of the Ichiko Sect. The Ichiko Sect, also known as Jodo Shinshu, is a Buddhist sect in Japan, but it is very different from Chinese Buddhism. In the Ichiko Sect, monks no longer
They are practitioners who devote themselves to reciting the Buddha's name and eating fast and being celibate. They can not only drink wine and eat meat freely, but also marry, have children, and reproduce offspring. The teachings of the Yixiang Sect are also very simple. People who believe in the Yixiang Sect do not need to go through any hard practice.
, as long as you have sincerity in your heart, you can ascend to heaven. Relying on this simple and popular teaching, the Yixiang Sect has captured the hearts of a large number of people in Japan, has hundreds of thousands of believers, and has become the most influential religion.
.
In Japan, there has always been a tradition of respecting temples. Among the three services of the Edo shogunate, there is a temple community that specializes in managing temple affairs. Most temples have the power to protect and protect the community, as if they are independent of the samurai regime.
An above-ground kingdom. The temple not only has a large amount of land attached to it to collect taxes, but also recruits monks and soldiers on its own, which is no different from the samurai regime controlled by the daimyo. Whether it is in Ishiyama Honganji Temple (today's Osaka), Nagashima Castle southwest of Owari, or in
In many places such as the Kaga region in Hokuriku, the political power is controlled by Ichibuki clan.
What’s even more frightening is that the strength of Yixiang Zong far exceeds the number of stones and troops on his books. In this very feudal and superstitious era, believers’ trust in religious leaders and their masters is beyond ordinary people’s imagination. As long as the master of Yixiang Zong
With a raised voice, countless peasant believers would rise up and wreak havoc in the Wu family's territory.
Matsudaira Ieyasu encountered such trouble.
In the first month of this year, retainers of the Matsudaira family broke into the temple controlled by the Ichikai sect Honganji Temple in order to hunt down thieves. This violated the temple's right of "guarding envoys not to enter" and angered the local Ichikai sect leaders. However, they are working on
Matsudaira Ieyasu, who unified Mikawa, was not willing to give in to these temples that occupied a large amount of land, which further intensified the conflict between the two families. Finally, in early February, the three Honganji temples in Mikawa, Honjoji, Kamigouji and Shougan
The temple announced the uprising, raising the flag of rebellion against the Matsudaira family. Upon hearing the news, Honganji believers in Mikawa also revolted one after another, and the number far exceeded Matsudaira Ieyasu's imagination.
These peasants destroyed transportation lines and killed and drove away the Matsudaira family's acting officials who were stationed in the countryside. Armed with hoes and sickles, they flocked from various areas of Mikawa to three temples to join the rebel army and fight against Matsudaira Ieyasu, the enemy of the Buddha.
Matsudaira Ieyasu obviously underestimated the influence of religion and was caught off guard by the sudden outbreak of the uprising. He hastily sent a small force led by Sakai Tadashi to attack Honjoji Temple, the base camp of Honganji forces, but was defeated by the enemy Ichigo Mune whose number was nearly ten times his.
The believers were defeated and fled back to Okazaki Castle in embarrassment. Many retainers of the Matsudaira family were also believers of the Ichiko sect. After hearing the boss's call, they also rebelled one after another, including the former empress of Matsudaira Ieyasu in Mikata.
Natsume Yoshinobu and others who were loyal to death - this shows the depth of Xiang Zong's poison to people's thoughts.
Now, almost all of Mikawa in the southwest, which is densely populated by believers, has fallen. Matsudaira Ieyasu gathered all the troops in Okazaki Castle and barely blocked the rebels in the southwest of Yahagi River and Oto River. However, it is located on the border of Mikawa and Owari, which is very critical.
The three cities: Kariya Castle, Anxiang Castle and Chiritsu Castle were almost empty castles. Matsudaira Ieyasu was extremely worried that the army that had always been in control had captured these three important cities, causing the situation to further deteriorate, so he requested reinforcements from the ally Oda family.
And this errand was left to Yu Qiuping.
·
"Your Highness, my troops dare not leave the front line," Yu Qiupei declined to Oda Nobunaga, "I still have to guard against the direction of Mino!"
"With the internal fighting in Mino like this, we will never fight again," Oda Nobunaga waved his hands nonchalantly, "If you are really worried, I will ask Sanzaemon to lead troops to Kuroda Castle to help you bear part of the burden.
Take the pressure."
Although learning that Sen Kecheng would come to take over the defense area made Yuqiu Pingan feel a lot more relieved - but this meant that the caravan's smuggling had to stop for a few days, and Sen Kecheng could not be discovered.
"You have an old relationship with the Matsudaira family, and the fiefdom was once in Mikawa. It's most appropriate for you to go this time." Oda Nobunaga tapped Uakihira's head with a folding fan and drove him out: "Don't shirk it,
Let’s set off tomorrow!”
