Due to poor ocean currents and delays due to wind and waves, by the time Yu Qiuping and his party returned to Japan by boat, it was already February 13th of the second year of Wanli (1574). Only after Yu Qiuping arrived in Japan did he learn that Oda Nobunaga
In the second half of last year, I applied to the court to change the reign. But the court actually gave Oda Nobunaga a lot of face and directly changed the fourth year of Gengui to the first year of Tensho, and also let him decide the reign name with a little effort.
Nobunaga chose the year "Tianzheng" because he seemed to want to take the meaning from "Laozi", "Irritability defeats cold, purity defeats heat, and tranquility is the righteousness of the world" - the previous Yuangui had tormented him very much.
Scenario. Therefore, this year is actually the second year of Tianzheng (1574).
In addition, Japan's form has also undergone great changes.
During the period when Amakihei left, Oda Nobunaga actually did a lot of things. After the winter of the first year of Tensho (1573), a large-scale uprising broke out in Echizen. Due to Oda Nobunaga's previous actions in Echizen
In the massacre, the Asakura family's samurai group almost suffered a devastating blow, so that there was a vacuum in local power. The Asakura family originally surrendered to Oda Nobunaga, and Tomita Nagashige colluded with Echizen's neighbor Kaganachi in the northeast.
The temple forces launched a campaign in Echizen territory and attacked and killed the Oda family's remaining defenders, including Yoshitsugi Maeami and others.
Oda Nobunaga was not polite when he saw this, and immediately gathered a large army to counterattack Echizen. Unfortunately, Tomita Nagashige had a conflict with Honganji at a critical moment, and the coalition forces, which were already at a disadvantage, had internal strife and were defeated by Oda Nobunaga.
Naga was defeated in one fell swoop. Tomita Nagashige was beheaded, and the entire Ichikai clan power in Echizen was almost physically wiped out by the violent Oda Nobunaga.
In order to prevent the Kaga Kingdom's Honganji forces from counterattacking, Oda Nobunaga appointed Shibata Katsuie, who was good at fighting, as the guardian of Echizen. However, the number of stones in the entire Echizen Kingdom is too large, close to 500,000 stones, and coupled with the developed sea trade,
Enough to mobilize an army of 20,000 people, which is almost the same strength as the Asakura family before. Handing such a huge territory to one person obviously risks losing too much. For this reason, Oda Nobunaga also sent Maeda Toshiie, Sasana Narimasa, Fu Po
The three of Koharu were assigned to the two counties near Fuchu, the key point of Echizen Country. As the direct subordinates of Oda Nobunaga, the three members of Fuchu shared the territory of Echizen Country and became the head office supervising Shibata Katsuie. Shibata Katsuie became
The commander of the Oda family's army in Hokurikudo, responsible for conquering the Kaga country in Hokurikudo.
Taking this as an opportunity, Oda Nobunaga carried out a large-scale enfeoffment of his hard-working subordinates. Niwa Nagahide was granted the title of Wakasa Province, and together with Akechi Mitsuhide, who was granted the title of Yamashiro and several counties in Omi, Sanin was formed.
The Dao Legion was responsible for the strategy of the Sanin, Dao Isshiki Family, and Hatano Family. Kinoshita Hideyoshi was given the old leader of the Asai Family, with the three counties of North Omi, and Minami Omi was entrusted by Oda Nobunaga to the eldest son of the mother-in-law family.
Naomasa and others. On the basis of the original territory, Sakuma Nobumori added the territory currently obtained by the Oda family in Settsu Kingdom and several counties of Yamashiro Kingdom. As the regiment commander of the Honganji siege group, he was responsible for conquering Ishiyama Imperial House.
.
As for Ume Qiupei, he was granted the title of Izumi Guardian on the basis of the original Kawachi Guardianship. Among Izumi Kingdom, currently only Otori County near Sakai Town is in the hands of Ume Qiupei, and the rest of the land is in the hands of the Miyoshi family.
Oda Nobunaga gave such an appointment, which was obviously to urge Amakihei to attack Izumi. Amakihei also became the commander of the Oda family's army to attack the Miyoshi family, and his army became one of the four major legions of the Oda family.
It is worth mentioning that Kinoshita Hideyoshi took the initiative to change his Miao character after he was promoted to the head of the family. At a banquet, he took the initiative to ask Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie who were present to change their Miao characters.
He was given a character from "Miao" and asked to form a new character "Miao" to encourage him to continue to be loyal to the Oda family.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi's nondescript approach amused everyone, and those of noble birth looked down upon such an approach. However, Oda Nobunaga was quite fond of it, and forced the unwilling Shibata Katsuie to give Niwa Nagahide a word.
He gave "Yu" and Shibata Katsuie gave "Wood", so Kinoshita Hideyoshi changed his name to Hashiba Hideyoshi. When Ame Qiupei arrived, he also received a letter of apology from Hashiba Hideyoshi. He said that he originally wanted to start from Momiji, who took the most care of him.
Your Highness, you are here to pay my respects, but since you are not here, I have to give up with regret, which made Yu Qiuping laugh for a long time. I didn’t expect that he could change history like this. Could it be that if he had not made this trip to the Ming Dynasty, Hideyoshi Hashiba’s name would have been
Becoming Hideyoshi Haakishiba?
·
After Yu Qiuping returned, things in Yu Qiu's family had taken on a completely new look.
With the assistance of Imagawa Kaede and Yu Qiu Gobei, Yu Qiu Shang successfully completed the "post-war reconstruction" work of the Yu Qiu family in the few months after Yu Qiu Ping left. More than a thousand newly trained recruits made up for the original work of Tokiwa.
There were vacancies in Bei, Narubei, Hosoragi Bei and the cavalry company, while Kohata Kesheng, Kato Mitsuyasu and Kanematsu Masakichi took over the positions of Anayayama Nobuyuki, Hara Nagayori and Aoki Kazuki respectively. And those who made great contributions in the battle
The samurai and ashigaru also received rewards.
The school plan for the children of martyrs that Yu Qiuping prepared before the expedition was also successfully carried out. However, due to the lack of Japanese teaching materials and teachers suitable for large class teaching, Yu Qiu Shang had to use the Chinese pinyin that Yu Qiuping had taught the officers before.
The officers of the Hongye Army were allowed to take turns as teachers to teach the children of martyrs every day. This also indirectly made Chinese the designated language of the school for the children of the martyrs of the Hongye Army. Those children basically only spoke Chinese in school. However, Yu Qiu was quite calm after returning.
He was so happy that he would not refuse because of his strong hometown sentiment, so this became a routine and was continued.
Later, the scope of the school was expanded again. It was not only open to the children of martyrs of the Hongye Army, but also to the people under the rule of the Yuqiu family. However, the children of the martyrs of the Hongye Army were exempted from tuition and food expenses. The Yuqiu family also specialized in training
Teachers are hired to teach children Chinese, arithmetic, logic, etiquette, and territory management skills that can be used in the future.
Seeing that his eldest son had achieved such good results, Yu Qiuping was very pleased. But what made him even happier was the return of Yu Qiuyou! However, this was at the expense of Yu Qiuguang going to Sakai Town as a new hostage.
Yu Qiuping later learned that this matter was promoted by Oda Nobunaga and Amano Keitoku, and it seemed that they wanted to show some shame to the businessmen of Sakai Town. Imagawa Kaede, Yu Qiu Shang, and Yu Qiuguang could not bear it.
Yu Qiuyou had been detained in Sakai Town alone for so many years, and Yu Qiuguang offered to be a hostage in exchange for the return of his second brother, so the matter was decided. However, Yu Qiuping, who had always supported the separation of powers, was not present in the Congress.
, was not tough enough, so he had to agree to this condition.
Therefore, at Yu Qiuping's first dinner after returning to Japan, he met Yu Qiuyou, whom he had longed for for a long time. It had been almost five years since he had seen him, and the child he once had had grown into a handsome young man.
Since they are twins, he and his brother have very similar facial features and faces. Yu Qiu Shang has more determination, while Yu Qiu You's face has more energy.
"Come on, give daddy a hug!" After Yu Qiuping saw Yu Qiuyou, without saying a word, he wanted to hold the son he had missed for a long time in his arms, but he didn't want to be avoided by Yu Qiuyou.
"Father, how can you act like a little girl when there are so many people here?
"Yu Qiuyou glanced at his brother, sister and mother sitting next to him, and retorted seriously.
"Huh? You kid, you haven't seen me for so many years. Are your wings stiff? You won't even let your father hold you anymore." Yu Qiuping pretended to be angry when he heard this, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He was originally worried that Yu Qiuyou wouldn't be able to see you for so many years.
He has been under house arrest and has problems with his personality, so that he alienates them, but looking at him, he is still as optimistic and cheerful as usual.
Yu Qiuping didn't notice the gloom hidden under Yu Qiuyou's usual smiling face.
"Father, my brother has gone to the battlefield with you and made great contributions. Now he has become a sergeant of Tokiwabi, Ashura. He can still handle the affairs of the country by himself, but I haven't done anything yet. Please arrange something for me."
ah!"
"Hahahaha, okay, it's time for you to do something." Yu Qiuping smiled and touched Yu Qiuyou's head, "Come and tell dad what you have done in Sakai Town in the past few years.
What did you learn?"
"Basically, I just study and practice swordsmanship. There's not much else I can do." Yu Qiuyou was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head a little lonely, "What can you do if you are locked in a hut all day?"
Yu Qiuyou's words made Yu Qiuping feel guilty and unable to extricate himself. Because of the urgent situation, he had to send his children as hostages. This matter has always been a pain in his heart. A father, even himself
I can't even protect my children, but I want them to suffer such a big crime.
"In the future, you two will continue to study with Hanbei and Quanbei." Yu Qiuping hesitated and decided to let their previous teachers continue to guide them, "You were still young before, but now you two adults can
I’m going to teach you some real skills, so remember to ask for advice humbly.”
"Yes, father." Yu Qiu Shang and Yu Qiu You said in unison.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the paper door of the castle tower. Mori Ranmaru opened the door, stuck his head out, and said to Yu Qiuping, "Your Highness, Brother Nobuhira wants to see you."
"Oh? Seigenmaru is here?" Yu Qiuping was very surprised as to why Naoe Denping came here so late at night. There should be no training missions for the artillery today.
After a while, Naoe Touhei sneaked in, handed Yu Qiuping a memorandum that was clearly due tomorrow morning, and then excused himself and turned around to leave. Yu Qiuping stared at Naoe Nouhei with suspicious eyes.
Look, I found that the latter quietly blinked at Yu Qiucen when he turned to close the door. Yu Qiuping immediately turned around to observe Yu Qiucen's reaction, and found that his baby daughter's face turned red, and she looked quite angry.
Imagawa Kaede's childhood charm.
"Cen'er, what's going on?" Yu Qiuping asked in a subtle tone, watching with satisfaction as Yu Qiucen's cheeks became redder. This little girl is getting more and more beautiful, she will definitely grow up.
She is as beautiful as her mother. A long time ago, Yu Qiuping discovered that Yu Qiucen and Naoe Nobuei often played together. He thought they were just playmates, but he didn't expect that they seemed to be secretly in love?
"No...it's nothing? What does his coming to deliver the memo have to do with me!" Yu Qiucen stuttered in defense.
"Oh? How do you know this is a memo? How did you see it when it's so far away?" Yu Qiuping joked with a smile and waved the stack of papers in his hand. Yu Qiucen was speechless and shy.
He jumped into Imagawa Kaede's arms, causing everyone to laugh.
"Second brother, you have the nerve to laugh at me!" After seeing Yu Qiuyou laughing so happily, Yu Qiucen, who was blushing, said angrily, "You've been posting to Sister Chacha all day long! Do you think I don't know?
