Wanli Xinming

Chapter 291
Tachibana Michiyo, who died at the foot of Tachibana Castle, was already in her 70s, and she had a daughter Tachibana Chiyo in her sixtieth year.Chiyo is 16 years old this year, and the Tachibana family really regards her as the apple of their eye.At the age of seven, because Lihua Daoxue was sick at the time, she insisted on transferring the position of Patriarch, and she became the governor of Lihua's family.This is a rare example in the Sengoku period in Japan—it is extremely rare in the entire Confucian cultural circle.

Later, Daoxue Tachibana recovered from his illness, but he did not take back the position of family governor.Because Takahashi Shaoyun was in the same position as Tachibana Douyuki in Otomo's house, and his eldest son was similar in age to Yu Chiyo, Takahashi Douyuki first begged and then begged Takahashi Shao on the grounds that he could have two famous families to protect Otomo's house after his death. Yun brought his eldest son, Takahashi Tonghu, into the Tachibana family.

Takahashi Shaoyun is also a person with great bearing, love and righteousness. He was moved by Tachibana Daoxue's loyalty to Otomo's family and finally agreed.

So when Chiyo was 13 years old, Takahashi Tonghu entered the Tachibana family and married him.Takahashi Totorora was born with a huge body, and when he grew up, he was superior in force. When he was 12 years old, he single-handedly defeated Horie Bizen, the general of the Ryuzoji family.

This time, Tachibana Road Snow fell into the army and sacrificed his life for the Otomo family.The entire Tachibana Mountain City was in grief, and Tachibana Chiyo was even more grief-stricken.In order to comfort his wife and comfort the spirit of Tachibana Daoxue in the sky, Takahashi Tonghu invited his great friend Zonglin to preside over the ceremony the next day, and changed his name to Tachibana Zongmao, expressing his determination to coexist with Tachibana City.

Although the soldiers of the Otomo family had a desperate heart, the Ming army and the Shimadzu family did not attack the city with ants, but used large tubes to spend their time slowly.The morale of the military and civilians in the city also gradually declined from the same enemy.After the city gate was broken, an atmosphere of despair enveloped the mountain city.

Chiyo Tachibana invited Ying as an envoy, and both Takahashi Shaoyun and Tachibana Zongshige knew that he had the will to die, or wanted to assassinate Ling Yunyi or Shimazu Yoshihisa to avenge his father's revenge.Dayou Zonglin couldn't bear Tachibana Daoxue's only blood and blood to sacrifice for Dayou's family, and resolutely opposed it.

Chiyo Tachibana put the rib across his neck, begging for death.Tachibana Zongshiger knew that although his wife was young, but her character was tough, he had no choice but to agree.

So, on the morning of the eighth day of the tenth lunar month, Chiyo Tachibana, dressed in white, went out of the city to see Ling Yunyi.The great friend Zonglin watched him go away at the Tianshou of Lihua Mountain City, tears spilled down the front of his clothes, and said in a haiku: "Please see, the blooming of this white plum is like the beauty of Lihua, which will never be faded; this body goes away and does not return, like the breeze crossing the water, The heart is silent."

Japan's Warring States period also had its literary style.His daimyo, military generals, hermits and even ronin often wrote poems to express their state of mind.For example, the last poem that Oda Nobunaga sang at Honnoji Temple was "50 Years in the Human World": "50 years of life are like dreams and illusions, and those who live once will never die."

And what Otomo Zonglin wrote for Tachibana and Chiyo can be regarded as another style of "haiku", which is a long and short sentence developed from Chinese poetry in Japan in the fifteenth century, similar to Chinese words.The later French writer André Bellechard called haiku "a poem that spreads shimmer and trembling", and he highly praised the artistic conception expressed in this style.

After Chidai fluttering in white clothes, he descended from the city. In front of the Ming army, he met Ling Yunyi, saying that he was the messenger of peace.Shimazu Yoshihisa heard that, and said to Ling Yunyi: "This daughter of Tachibana Daoxue is Tachibana Chiyo. This girl is the most beautiful in Kyushu, and I am called 'Zhuqian Baimei'. The adults must be on guard, fearing that he will come to avenge his father."

When Ling Yunyi heard that, he first looked around, then frowned and said: "The so-called stunning person is only a skinny ear. Before the two armies formed, they used color to slow my heart, and the great friend Zonglin is really a tool for fighting shackles - Zhang Shichen, arrange People searched carefully, and then brought it into the account."

The commander-in-chief, Zhang Yuanxun, received the order, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he scratched his head after leaving the commander's tent.There were no women in the army, so asking the soldiers to search Yu Chiyo's body violated his principles of being a human being.Moreover, he knew Ling Yunyi very well, how could the fat delivered to her door make her get rid of her body?

When his face was full of sadness, Li Rusong came out and said, "Brother Shichen, why don't you do it for me?"

Zhang Yuanxun was much older than Li Rusong. When he was young, he followed Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others to fight against the Japanese and made countless contributions.But this time the imperial court sent troops to Japan, and his position was under Li Rusong.

At this moment, although seeing him smiling and not solemn, he was overjoyed and said, "Your father is Uncle Ning Yuan, whatever you do, Master Ling can't do anything to you." He bent over and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your understanding. !" After speaking, for fear that Li Rusong would go back on his words, he turned around and disappeared.

Li Rusong saw that he was bowing his body to be the commander-in-chief for the first time in non-military affairs, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. He thought this old man was quite cute.After laughing, his face turned pale, and he entered the small tent where he lived temporarily, and shouted, "Take it off!"

After Li Rusong finished the inspection, Chiyoi entered Ling Yunyi's tent with red eyes, saying that he was an imperial envoy, and bowed to the ground.Ling Yunyi heard her fluent Chinese, which made her look up.As soon as he saw it, God took it away, and Shimazu Yoshihisa secretly complained, for fear that this color embryo would give the soul and enlarge the way of life for You Zonglin.

The imperial envoy asked, "Is there no one in Dayou's house? Send your daughter here?"

Chiyo replied: "Although my concubine is a woman, I am also a military general. At the age of 12, I have already commanded the iron artillery team in my family. I met the Shimadzu family in the Battle of Otokawa, so I was named Tachibana Sakai Girl."

"Because of seeing the mighty iron guns of the entire army, I am delighted to see the hunter, and I ask my master to let me come here and see the commander-in-chief who leads the unparalleled army in the world."

Ling Yunyi saw that although her face was picturesque, her words were neither humble nor arrogant, and she had a heroic spirit, and she admired her in her heart.Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I was sent to Japan by the imperial conscript. My emperor considers Japan to be a country that was not conquered by the Great Ancestor, and has no intention of competing with other big names from all over the world. Otherwise, I will sweep the archipelago with the prestige of my Ming army."

Chiyo Tachibana listened to what he said, only to feel a mountain-like shadow pressing down on her head, her heart pounding wildly.Kneeling down on the ground, Ling Yunyi continued to say:
"Because the lord of your clan deceived me with big words and couldn't truthfully explain his brother's succession as the chief of the family, there was such a turmoil - not my intention. Calm down, why is there such a turmoil!"

Chiyo Tachibana heard him talk about Tachibana Daoxue, her eyes were red, and a tear still came out of her eyes.Ling Yunyi said again: "Your father's head, when you go back later, take it back and bury it properly. Alas, a generation of heroes, it is a pity to meet such a faint-hearted master."

Chiyo Tachibana bowed down again and thanked Ling Yunyi.Whispered: "The concubine is not here for my father's head, but for his ambition."

"When my father was old, because of adhering to the principle of 'loyalty and filial piety', he sacrificed his life to seek justice for the Lord. He had no other ambitions in this life. Life, the concubine thought that rather than getting the head back, my father hoped that the Dayou family could get out of this trouble."

When Shimazu Yoshihisa heard Chichiyo's moving words, he was afraid that Ling Yunyi would be persuaded, so he couldn't help but say: "My friend Zonglin is a fish that swims from the bottom of the kettle, and the imperial consignor's martial arts turn over and take it lightly. You talk about the 'righteousness' of Lihua Daoxue Of course it is merciful, but the imperial envoy also has his own 'righteousness'!"

"Although I am a girl, I heard that China also regards loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness as the foundation of the world. Lord Shicai said that His Majesty the Emperor did not order His Excellency to conquer Japan. However, since Chiyomoto is loyal and filial, he dares to ask the adults to raise their hands so that they can keep the family name. The top and bottom of the Dayou family will be tied with grass and rings to repay the kindness of the adults."

Afraid that Shimadzu would interrupt again, Chiyo hurriedly said what she had finally determined: "Although the concubine is like a willow, she also has three colors - if the adults show pity to the Otomo family, the concubine is willing to serve the rest of her life. Your Excellency." After speaking, he blushed and fell to the ground, sobbing in a low voice.

Shimazu Yoshihisa secretly scolded the great friend Zonglin for being disgusting, and the 'white plum before the building' came this time, and he really used a beauty trick on the imperial envoy, and it was a shame for Kyushu.He looked at Ling Yunyi eagerly, almost giving up hope for his conduct - at the same time, there was still a little hope in his heart, expecting him to eat the sugar coating, but the big barrel bullet that hit the great friend Zonglin was fired.

Ling Yunyi heard what Chichiyo said, and looked up at Li Rusong.Li Rusong smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that the woman was not in danger.Ling Yunyi pondered for a while before he wanted to speak, when he heard someone outside the tent reporting in.

The person who received the money was Huang Zhongzhuo, who had joined the army. He held several pieces of writing paper, and after seeing the ceremony, he said, "Commander, the king of Japan has sent an order, and I am copying it here."

Ling Yunyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Hand it over."

When I took the paper handed over by the soldiers and read it, it said: "I have heard that the three kings stand upright, the five emperors of Zen Buddhism, only China has a master, how can there be islands without a king? The universe is vast, not the sole power of one master; Hong, we are divided into various states. We live in remote and weak places, in small countries, with less than [-] cities and less than [-] frontiers. We still have the heart of contentment, so those who are contented are always contented.”

"Today, the lord of China, the king of ten thousand vehicles, has more than thousands of cities and more than [-] li of territory. He still has a heart of insufficiency, and he always expresses his sincerity. The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars change places; the earth sends murderous intentions, and the dragon Snakes rise to the land; people launch murderous intentions, and heaven and earth go back and forth. Of course, the Ming Dynasty has a plan to start a war, and Xiaobang also has a plan to defend against the enemy!"

"Japanese cultural relics are half imitation of China. At that time, when they looked up to the upper country, it was like being in the sky, and they sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to look at each other. The Tang Dynasty messed up the messengers, and the monks who traveled high and high were always commuting and diligent. Let me answer it. The ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty pursued his ambitions and wanted to take care of the country. Fan Wenhu commanded [-] boats. When the hurricane boat overturned, three people returned. With the strength of the Yuan Dynasty, the country could be destroyed by fifty, and it was impossible to make waves. Playing skin skills, God does it."

"I sent Ling Yunyi, the generals who gathered tigers and wolves, and raised their best troops to invade our territory, the land of water and soil, the continent of mountains and seas, and the earth is rolled by water, and the soldiers are approaching, how can they kneel and smear them? Shun It may not be born, and it may not be death if it is contrary, meeting in the mountains and seas, talking about playing games, although Japan is weak, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Since the founding of Japan, the territory remains the same as before. According to the legend of the gods and martial arts, the world is a paradise, and the country is beautiful! I ordered the world's martial arts family, under the order of Yu Chai Hideyoshi, bow and armor, trek the mountains and rivers, fight the wind and rain, attack the city and attack the formation, in order to resist the Ming prisoners! Just look at today's Japan, who is in charge of the world!"

"I hereby report to the world, and the Xian envoys will hear about it." [Note 1]
