Chapter 4 Imagawa
"I can't, I can't kick anymore." The uncle waved his hand and took the package containing three bonus coins from a waiter next to him.
"Young man, you've got your 500 Wen." The uncle took out a small package from the package and handed it to Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping took the package, opened it, took out a bunch of 100 Wen, and handed it back.
To the uncle. "The registration fee will be returned to you first."
"Hey, you're just showing off." The uncle frowned dissatisfied, "I just said that I won't charge you if you play well, and you agreed."
"Um..." Yu Qiuping thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that such a thing was indeed the case, "Okay, just do what you say."
"Young man, your defense is really good," at this time, several companions around the uncle praised Yu Qiuping while changing their clothes. "Be aware of your position, be physically strong, and not greedy. This is the most important thing," said the uncle
He also added on the side. "Several times the opponent's fake moves failed to deceive you, and you did not force to steal, which made your defense more stable."
"However, it's a little too conservative." The uncle touched his beardless chin, "Sometimes you still have to be a little more proactive."
"There's nothing I can do, it's an old problem," Yu Qiuping laughed, "I've been very timid since I was a child and don't dare to take risks."
"Stop talking about this, how about I treat you to a meal first to celebrate our victory." The uncle patted Yu Qiuping on the shoulder and led the group towards the center of Junfu City. "There is a restaurant there that I particularly like.
This ramen shop also has Mingguo noodles, you will definitely like it."
In Japan at that time, the diet of ordinary people, from the samurai to the common people, was very simple. Often a bowl of millet porridge, a few pieces of pickled radish or pickled cucumbers was the diet of ordinary farmers. The samurai could also add fish and meat to their diet.
Miso soup and fresh vegetables, and the most enviable thing is the rice that only samurai can afford. Because the Emperor of Japan had issued a meat ban before, he considered meats such as pork and beef to be unclean.
Therefore, among the upper class who have the ability to consume meat, they do not eat much meat. And the people in the lower class naturally do not have the ability to eat meat. At this time, ramen is already considered a relatively luxurious enjoyment.
.
After walking to the noodle shop, Yu Qiuping realized that his pendant was not hanging around his neck. He probably left it on the venue. So he hurried back to look for it, and finally found the pendant beside the shelf where the clothes were placed.
The red leaf pendant in the soil. After careful inspection and finding that it was not damaged, Yu Qiuping wiped off the dust with his hands and hung it back around his neck.
When Yu Qiuping returned to the ramen shop, his portion of Suzhou noodles had been served. The uncle and his friends did not move their chopsticks politely, but waited for Yu Qiuping to come back and eat together.
"I'm sorry for the long wait. Why don't you eat first? The noodles won't taste good when they are cold." Yu Qiuping moved his chair and sat down, nodding to the other people in apology.
"Haha, this is Suruga, one of the best etiquette places in Japan." A middle-aged man sitting on Yu Qiuping's left said, "There is no reason to use chopsticks before the guests arrive."
"Oh? Well, I'm new here, so I don't understand these rules very well." Yu Qiuping swallowed a mouthful of noodles and asked, "Is this how Suruga has been since ancient times?"
"That's not true, the customs of the sixty-six countries in the world are different. Generally, the customs and etiquette of wealthy places are better," the middle-aged man continued, "like the Kinki area, Suruga of our Tokaido, or the big
Shu Fang and Nagato of the inner family, and Echizen of the Asakura family, are all very particular about etiquette."
"But, our Suruga was originally considered a bumpkin from Kanto in the eyes of Kinki people," the uncle took over, "it became like this after the Imagawa family began to pay attention to etiquette and culture."
"Speaking of which, what kind of existence is the Imagawa family?" Yu Qiuping saw that this businessman seemed to be well-informed, so he wanted to take the opportunity to understand the background of the current era. "This Suruga is ruled by the Imagawa family.
Bar?"
"Well... this is a long story," the uncle swallowed the food in his mouth, put his chopsticks on the plate, and introduced to Yu Qiupei: "The Imagawa family was originally a branch of the Ashikaga family, the current shogunate general who conquered barbarians, and they have noble blood.
.There is a saying that the only heir to the imperial palace, Kira, can succeed, and the last heir of Kira, Imagawa, can succeed. The ancestor Imagawa Norigoku was awarded the guardianship of Suruga and Toe for his meritorious service. Later, due to political reasons, the guardianship of Toe was once taken back. There was an opposition between the shogunate and Kanto.
At that time, the Imagawa family repeatedly stood firmly on the side of the shogunate and invaded Kanto as a vanguard, so they were deeply appreciated by the shogunate. The Imagawa family was also awarded the honor of "Vice General for Conquering Barbarians", and the surname Imagawa was also awarded "Tianka Miaozi"
"The title." Seeing that Yu Qiuping seemed a little confused, the uncle explained, "The so-called 'Tianka Miaozi' means that except for the Imagawa head family, the common people are not allowed to use the surname of Imagawa. For example, the current leader Imagawa Jibe Yoshimoto,
The uncle smiled slightly and said, "Before you return to secular life and inherit the position of family governor, you cannot use the surname Imagawa. Instead, you will be called Meiyue Chengfang."
"Well, then there are only a few people in the world who can be called Imagawa! That's really an honor." Yu Qiuping couldn't help but sigh, "As long as you hear the word Imagawa, you must belong to the Imagawa family.
The direct descendant of."
"That's right," the uncle nodded, "Except for the family head, the only people who are called Imagawa now are the family head's children. When the eldest son inherits the position of family governor, his brothers will change their surnames. For example,
The former Toe-Imagawa family changed their surname to the Sena family."
"Where did you say just now? The guardianship of Tokugawa was confiscated, right?" The uncle clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention and continued, "Later, when the Onin Rebellion broke out, the Lord Imagawa Yoshitaka tried to invade Tokugawa many times.
E came to restore the territory, but unfortunately he was ambushed and buried in horse leather. The heir to the Imagawa family, later the Imagawa clan's lord, was still young, and was temporarily regent by Oka Norimitsu. After he came of age, the Imagawa clan lord was in the Hojo family of the Hojo clan.
With the help of Lord Yun, I regained the power in my family and began to concentrate all my efforts on conquering Yuanjiang."
"In the fifth year of Eisho (1508), the shogunate once again granted the Imagawa family the official position of guardian of Toe, and the Imagawa family naturally brought Toe under their rule. In this battle, the Asahina family and the Okabe family made outstanding contributions, and were
The former master, the Imagawa family, relied on him as a minister and became the two pillars of the Imagawa family."
"And then, when the Lord formulated the famous "Imagawa Kana Directory", he established the order within the territory with detailed country-dividing laws." The uncle saw Yu Qiuping's eyes suddenly light up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but asked curiously,
"What's wrong? You look very excited."
"No, I just think that Mr. Imagawa is really powerful," Yu Qiuping said with a smile.
"Oh?" A smile flashed across the corner of the uncle's mouth, "I said before that when he conquered the north and south and conquered Yuanjiang, you didn't have any special admiration for him. Why were you so excited after hearing the "Imagawa Kana Directory"?"
"I think conquering a city or a country is far less important than a detailed legal system," Yu Qiuping, a history student, felt deeply about this. "Law is the cornerstone of a stable regime."
"Keep talking." The uncle gestured for him to continue talking.
"How should I put it? I think law is very important to society and the country. Mencius once said that without rules, there can't be a circle," Yu Qiuping explained, "Law can not only regulate social order, but also protect individual rights.
At the same time, the rights of the rulers are restricted so as not to cause them to act in the opposite direction. If everything in a country can have a unified set of standards called laws, unfairness and privileges can be eliminated to the greatest extent. As the saying goes, do not suffer from scarcity but inequality.
, this is the truth. As long as the law can be well implemented, the order of the country and society will be maintained."
"But, we Han people have not paid enough attention to the law." Yu Qiuping frowned and tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks. "Our history books always praise the rule of man rather than the rule of law. We praise virtuous kings like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
, praising famous officials with high moral integrity, but not paying attention to a set of laws that can truly benefit future generations. The king's words are made into a constitution, which is above the law, and the introduction of rituals into the law is to mix Confucian ethical principles into the law, and the status of the law is lost.
It is not taken seriously." Yu Qiuping sighed, "It is difficult for a country to have long-term peace and stability. The prosperity and decline are all dependent on the ruler. When a virtuous king is in power, he will naturally do well. Once the ruling class is incompetent, the entire dynasty will be in crisis."
"Therefore, the Central Plains experienced a catastrophe in three hundred years, and the cycle of chaos and chaos was precisely because there was no set of permanent and just laws to maintain social stability." Yu Qiuping let out a sigh, "This is why I value the law so much.
That’s why. This Lord Imagawa must also realize the importance of the law, so I admire him very much.”
"That's a really good talk." "Good boy, you're very knowledgeable." Several companions around him shouted, making Yu Qiuping feel embarrassed for a while.
"How old are you this year?" the uncle suddenly asked.
"Seventeen." Yu Qiuping reported his actual age.
A strange look flashed in the uncle's eyes, "Yu Qiu, you are very insightful. It is not easy for you to have such a profound understanding at your age. You are indeed from the Ming Dynasty, which is extraordinary."
"Clean the chaos cycle, cure the chaos cycle," the uncle turned his head and didn't look at Yu Qiuping anymore. Instead, he muttered the words "control the chaos cycle." After being stunned for a long time, he realized that there seemed to be a slight silence, and then he chuckled.
, continued, "Then let's continue talking about the Imagawa family. A hundred years after the Imagawa family, the Imagawa family experienced several changes in the family governor. Finally, Imagawa Jibe Yoshimoto-sama succeeded the family governor. This family governor not only consolidated the power internally
, Externally, it also formed a Three Kingdoms Alliance with Sagami Hojo in the east and Kai Takeda in the northeast. It controlled the entire Mikawa by controlling the Matsudaira family, a powerful family in Mikawa, and further invaded the southeastern part of Owari, and started fighting with the Oda family.
