Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 23 A new choice!

() On the way back to the city, Kira Manmatsumaru went to the castle town to have a look. The documents for the general enlistment had already been posted, and there were quite a few townspeople queuing up in the castle town prefectural office to apply for the general enlistment. Kira Manmatsumaru did not Squeeze inside, and after turning around twice, you will arrive at the standing ashigaru corps that settled in the castle town.

Because when he returned to the city in the morning, he had seen Kira Wansongmaru, so he strode into Tennocho with dozens of riders, and met a group of samurai who were on duty blocking the way: "We will see Kira Oya-shaped grown ups!"

"Everyone, get up." Kira Manmatsumaru sat on the horse and beat the saddle with a folding fan to signal them to get up, and then signaled to these samurai to lead the way. He entered the town surrounded by a group of people around him, and glanced at the dilapidated and shabby houses in the town. Matsumaru couldn't help taking a deep breath, and shouted, "Zenjiro!"

"The subject is here!"

Kira Manmatsumaru asked with displeasure on his face, "Why do the samurai of my Kira family live in such a place?"

"This... I don't know." Zenjiro Yamaoka bowed his head cooperatively and admitted his mistake.

"The samurai of the Kira family, what does it look like to live in the castle town!" Kira Manmatsumaru thought for a while and came up with a countermeasure, "The samurai's vacant house is distributed to the samurai. I remember that Sanmaru still has a few sculls to spare. A batch of standing ashigaru will go to guard! After that, it will be rotated every five days, and the rest will stay in the castle town and take turns guarding the public security in the town."

"Yes! This subordinate will do it immediately!" Yamaoka Zenjiro immediately got on his horse and ran away. Although Yamaoka Zenjiro looked stupid, he was better than those elm-headed samurai in terms of transparency and intelligence. That group of genealogy retainers who can only chatter is much more useful.

Kira Wansongmaru turned around and said to the group of samurai, "All you gentlemen, report your birth names."

"Yes!" They all ran over and stood in a row, and a black and thin warrior shouted: "I'll come first! Tagawa Taibingwei in Kamota Township, Xiaeda County!"

"Matajiro Morihara in Washitori Township, Shimobikai County!"

……

"Takatsuna Watanabe at Urabe-so, Okochi-go, Shimota-gun."

"Kato Kyoaki of Kajizhuang, Yongliang Township, Shimoeda County."

"At Ina Tadashi's house in Kojimaso, Shitahata County."

"Naito Masanari at Naito-so, Shimoeda-gun."

Kira Manmatsumaru carefully remembered everyone's names in his heart. He could accurately write down every samurai who had registered his name, and with his excellent memory, he easily won enthusiastic responses from the samurai. To the old man, there is nothing more honorable than being remembered by the master as a servant.

After a while, Yamaoka Zenjiro went back and forth, quietly telling him that things were in order, and Kira Manmatsumaru announced loudly that the samurai could move into the city, and warned among cheers: "Since you have left the Kira family, you should abide by the rules and regulations. My family's law, loyalty and unity, for the Kira family is also to earn a contribution for each! Even if I die in a foreign country, my reputation as a Samurai warrior will not be in vain."

"Ha!" The warriors bowed their heads in unison.

"From now on, all samurai will move to Sanmaru Shiyashiki to live in, and the four soldiers in Sanmaru will be guarded by the princes in rotation."

"Yes!" This time it was a cheering bow, "I am willing to be loyal to the owner of the hall!"

Being able to enter and live in Saijo Castle is equivalent to officially becoming Kira's vassal. Not only the salary is greatly improved, but also the future life of the family can be guaranteed. His descendants can serve as the descendants of the Kira family. Compared with patrolling the castle town, it is a world away. Don't.

"Everyone should be more diligent in martial arts. After following my family, there will be a joint battle to fight. If you do something that damages the face of my Kira family because of not practicing martial arts, don't blame my family for being ruthless!"

After giving the carrots, of course you have to show the big sticks. Seeing their awe-inspiring expressions, Kira Manmatsumaru left the castle town with satisfaction. After waiting for a long time outside the Honmaru, it turned out that the genealogical generations were worrying about the ultimatum of Taiyuan Xuezhai, the general of the Imagawa family. Just now they pretended to let me handle everything, but now they think of him as the family governor.

"These guys are really annoying!" Kira Wansongmaru curled his lips, and then told Xiao Xing: "Let them wait for a while, my family has gone out for a while, and we need to take a shower and change clothes first."

The little surname stopped talking: "But..."

"Do as I ordered!" Waving Xiao Xing away, Kira Wansongmaru slowly walked back to the castle tower, observed the surroundings slightly, and found that Aju was not there, so he was relieved: "Fortunately, Aju is not here. It must be a very troublesome thing!"

After tidying up and changing into formal clothes, more than half an hour had passed when he came to the evaluation room. The genealogists of the Kira family stared at the exit one by one. Master of the museum! This is the evaluation meeting that will determine the life and death of my Kira family, how can you be late?"

"Tsutsumori! Watch your words!" Okochi Nobusada's complexion sank.

"If my family remembers correctly, the evaluation meeting should be on the sixth day of next month. I don't know what evaluation meeting is going to be held in Jinjin Palace today. I, Kira Wansongwan, are willing to listen." Jiliang Wansongwan replied indifferently.

Over there, Yasumoto Ogasawara's complexion suddenly became very ugly. It was a shame to be reprimanded by a family governor who had no uniforms in front of so many family members, but he didn't dare to take the opportunity to get angry. No one would stand up to help him, and he could only be blamed for underestimating this little family governor.

"Sorry! I, Anyuan, said that I was reckless!" Ogasawara Yasumoto apologized in embarrassment, and hung his head in embarrassment.

"Let's talk about the letter sent by Taiyuan Xuezhai!" Yamamoto Kansuke appropriately stopped the embarrassing scene and brought back the slightly stiff atmosphere.

Kira Wansongmaru picked up the folding fan and tapped the table to signal the officials to be quiet. After a while, he caught a glimpse of the Pudai retainers kneeling on both sides of the table and said softly: "This is a meeting that determines the fate of our family. Please strictly abide by it." Secret, not a single word can be brought out of the evaluation room after the meeting! Otherwise, it will be an enemy of the Kira family and all the lords present here! So please make an oath here!"

The retainers of the genealogy generation couldn't figure out the meaning of the governor, Okochi Nobusada was the first to jump out and swear: "I, Okochi Nobusada, swear to Hachiman Bodhisattva that I will not reveal a single word of what was discussed in the evaluation room today. Those who commit suicide will be punished by the Nine Heavens Gods and Buddhas!"

The rest of the genealogists looked at each other, and could only swear in obedience, Kira Manmatsumaru smiled silently, gently opened the folding fan in his hand, and said in a low voice: "The oath has been made, and the family can also announce its future choices. "

"My lord! Don't do it!" Nobuya Okochi was so impatient, he kept winking at him, which meant to say: "We swear we don't let you make a choice, you have to follow the rules, What's the point of making a decision without our consent!"

"My family's choice is..." Kira Wansongmaru smiled back at Okochi Nobusada, and while Pudai was still dazed, he spit out two words: "Shangluo!"
