Pillars of the Wu family

() On the night of August 27th, after retrieving the two treasures, Kira Manmatsumaru was busy with another matter. Before leaving Mikawa, Kira Manmatsumaru decided to do something meaningful, and this matter was for Nagao Jinghu wrote a long letter, "Since I've deviated from the orthodoxy, I don't care about doing more. I want to use my own power to stir up the Warring States Period, starting with the future Echigo Dragon Nagao Jinghu!"

The letter was quickly written and folded, and sealed with mud. This letter will be forwarded by Hattori Ninja to Echigo through his own intelligence channel, and will be passed on to Nagao Jinghu through a certain channel in the future. Although the process is long, it can be guaranteed to be accurate The professional standards of Iga Ninja are still very high.

In the early morning of August 28th, more than 600 people gathered outside Saijo Castle. Together with the family members brought by the samurai, 300 people accompanied by civilian husbands and Hida craftsmen. Most of the people are not married yet, and the situation in Fenggong is similar, otherwise the number of entourage will be doubled.

Facing the unexpected number of people, Kira Manmatsumaru felt very headache. Fortunately, there were 35 carriages, five of which were filled with women and children, and the remaining [-] were filled with [-] kanji coins. , Okochi Nobuzhen's work efficiency is very high, and he exchanged four thousand Yongle coins for [-] guan coins. The quality of the coins is still very good, and I don't know which businessman is so unlucky in his hands.

Before leaving, Okochi Nobusada took out fifty pack horses from Kira’s house, and said to Kira Wansongmaru: “Since the master of the house is going to Luo, I will take these pack horses with me! Each horse carries one stone and five buckets of sea salt. Waiting for the only thing Pu Daizhong can do for the owner of the museum!"

"Master, please accept our wishes!" This time, the genealogists were very united. The family governor went to Luo and cared about the gains and losses, but lost support. Therefore, Okochi Nobuza didn't think much about the issue of the pack horse. It was originally used to transport salt. The common property of the sale was given to Kira Wansongmaru this time, and everyone would lose hundreds of pens.

"Okay! I understand your intentions." Japan has always been short of horses, especially in the west of Japan. There are no horse farms at all. All the horses come from relatively remote areas such as Kanto, Hokuriku, Koshin, and Oshu. The pack horses are unmanageable. The bad horses are worth between [-] and [-] guanwen each, and selling [-] horses is a huge sum of money.

Okochi Nobusada made the decision, took out all the pack horses used by the Kira family to transport supplies, filled them with 75 kokus of salt, and transported them to Owari. As soon as Mino sold them, he earned more than 300 kanmon, which was basically enough to pay for the travel expenses of Shangluo. Simple practice The meeting ended soon, and at the first moment of time, Kira Wansongmaru got on his horse and said to the retainers behind him, "My family is leaving! The entire Kira family is entrusted to you gentlemen! Please take care of yourself!"

"We will do our best to serve the public and live up to the great trust of the owner of the museum!" All the retainers of the Kira family knelt down in unison.

"Okay! Gossip less! Our family is leaving!" Kira Wanmatsumaru shouted "Let's go", and the long line began to run slowly like a huge machine. Under the attention ceremony of the townspeople kneeling all the way, Shangluo The team left Saijo Castle.

"Master, please take care!" the pedigrees shouted, only to see Kira Wansongmaru waving goodbye to them in the distance.

The section of the Tōkaidō linking Owari is called Bandou Street. Go west and pass through Kariya Castle, the residence of the Mizuno clan belonging to the Owari clan, and enter the core area of ​​the Owari Oda family. On both sides of the Atsuta Street stand Narumi Castle, Atsuta Shrine, Atsuta Jingu is not only Owari Kingdom Sannomiya, but Atsuta Town is also the most famous commercial town in Owari Kingdom. You can even regard Atsuta Town as the epitome of Tokaido’s commercial prosperity.

Atsuta Jingu's reputation is very famous, even people in later generations who don't know Japan at all have heard of this name. In fact, his reputation is indeed very big, because the daughter of Atsuta Omiyaji Fujiwara Tomono is the official son of Yoshitomo Minamoto. Minamoto Raichao was born again in the room, so Atsuta Shrine is very famous, as for the three artifacts, just look at it.

From the ancient tomb era, the Japanese royal family used the three artifacts as important props for enthronement, and gradually became a symbol of the emperor's legitimacy in the Asuka era. However, all this ended at the end of the Genpei war. During the Battle of Tannoura, the eight-year-old Emperor Andoku jumped into the sea by his grandmother and two nuns holding the three artifacts, and went to the Undersea Dragon Palace to establish his underground court.

The jump of Emperor Antoku destroyed the orthodoxy of the Japanese imperial family. His brother, Emperor Gotoba, did not have the three artifacts, so he could only rely on the promulgation of Goshirakawa-in to succeed him. I remembered that I got a fake three artifacts as a symbol of the orthodoxy of my royal family, emphasizing that my Southern Dynasty was orthodox, and that the Northern Dynasty would be a puppet regime without the three artifacts.

During the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu period, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were finally united together. As a result, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu died in the Cargill Rebellion. Within two days, the survivors of the Southern Dynasty stole the three artifacts. After more than ten years, it is said that the three artifacts were found again. Artifacts, and have been used until now. In short, the so-called three artifacts are high imitation versions of fakes, or high imitation versions of counterfeit fakes. Worshiping him is better than worshiping the ancestors.

In order to express his respect for Atsuta Jingu, Kira Wansongmaru still presented Yongle Qianwuguanwen, with a short rib, and wrote a handwritten wish: "May the troubled times be peaceful, and the shogunate will be prosperous again."

That night, Kira Manmatsumaru approached Kansuke Yamamoto and asked about the itinerary for Shangluo, but the chief retainer gave an astonishing answer: "Take the waterway from Atsuta Town to Tsushima, and then take a boat to the north and enter Omi through Minobupoguan. It is the itinerary for Shangluo made by the minister for the owner of the museum."

"Look at the dead chicken! Don't be joking with the family! Isn't it a joke to go north along Tsushima? Saito Toshimasa is an ally of the Oda family, and the family took more than 2000 people to pass by his door, isn't it a death?" Kira Manmatsumaru didn't Silly, this kind of simple logic can be understood without thinking too much. Saito Dozo is not a person to be provoked. If he bites him, wouldn't it be more deceitful than staying in Sanhe and surrendering the Imagawa family?

Kansuke Yamamoto nodded noncommittally, and asked again: "So in the opinion of the owner of the museum, which way should we go?"

"Of course, Ise Kuwana County passes through Luling Gate, and Iga and Koga enter Kinai. There are no powerful daimyos in this section, and it is much safer than Mino!" He reported this without much thought. There are mainly three land routes to enter Kinai, the one in Hokuriku is not counted, the road on Higashiyama Road is not broken through Mino, and the road on Tokaido is through Ise Karezu Pass. You can pass through Iga at will It's okay to go, go to Yamato country and go north to Kyoto.

"However, my subject's view is completely opposite to that of the shogunate. It is safer to go to Mino than to go to Iga and Koga. The people of Iga and Koga have never bought the account of the shogunate. The lord of the building is holding the banner of Shangluo to protect the shogunate. It doesn't work either, the place where my Kira family's two thousand troops pass by must be a wild ride, and it's still a question of whether they can pass safely!"

"Isn't there Hattori Ishimi Mamoru? He is a native of Iga country. With him opening the way, these problems must be solved?" Kira Manmatsumaru retorted with a guilty conscience.
