In order to resist the incoming Mongolian army, the Kamakura shogunate mobilized a large number of Hime Samurai warriors to fight on Kyushu Island. With the help of kamikaze, they finally repelled the Mongolian attack.

The invasion of the Mongols brought two important changes to the Wu family.

First, the Kamakura shogunate collapsed.

The imperial family system during the Kamakura shogunate period was a fairly simple contract of reward for the public. The Hime Samurai fought for the public and the shogunate rewarded the land.

The shogunate has always been very restrained in mobilizing imperial family members to serve the government, because the shogunate does not have much land in its hands, so it has always been asking for rewards.

But the Mongols were too powerful, and the Kamakura shogunate could no longer think about how to reward them after mobilizing a large number of warriors.

If the Mongols are not pushed back, the Kamakura shogunate will be gone. Who cares about the consequences?

As a result, the Mongols were repelled, and the Kamakura shogunate soon disappeared. It was because they could not afford the reward and were overthrown by the angry Hime warriors.

This is also a major reason why the Ashikaga shoguns actively abandoned the imperial family system and switched to the guardian system after the establishment of the Ashikaga Shogunate.

If you can't afford to support too many imperial families, then don't raise them at all. Leave the local imperial families to the guardian daimyo, and the Ashikaga Shogunate will only pay salaries to the central imperial family to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

It was pretty good at first. The Ashikaga Shogun owned more than 200 imperial palaces in the world, and the local guardian daimyo helped take care of them. The Ashikaga Shogun only collected money and ignored local expenditures. After a few years of good life.

But as time went on, things became more and more wrong. Local power expanded, and over the past two hundred years, it gradually swallowed up the Ashikaga family's imperial palace.

To this day, Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Nijo Castle cannot even pay the wages of the Ashikaga Hui members, and is ridiculed as a poor public servant.

Sure enough, if you come out to hang out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. How great it was back then, how miserable it is now.

Second, the innovation of the Wu family’s war model.

The Mongols were the evil stars of that era, a terrifying military group that killed the entire Eurasian continent. They would not play any kind of duel with the island country's Ji warriors.

Warrior Ji ran to the front of the formation and asked for a ride, but he was often stabbed into a hedgehog by a hail of arrows, and received a stupid conclusion.

The martial art of war quickly matured in this anti-Yuan war. From then on, the war mode of a Ji warrior riding a horse, carrying a bow and taking a dozen followers like an outing, slowly disappeared.

The Buddhist nuns regiment, which continued to maintain a one-on-one style of fighting, was also left far behind by the Wu family.

In addition to the organizational strength that has always been outstanding, the Wu family now has the Diaoshan Master and the Nara Master. The two Ni Corps that once dominated the country have completely become novices in the war and are not worth mentioning.

At that time, the large armors suitable for bow and arrow shooting were gradually replaced by armors that were more defensive against weapons such as spears, bows and arrows, and iron cannons, until the peak of the Wu family's armor was fully equipped in this world.

But having said that, the large armor is probably the most elegant armor with a Japanese aesthetic.

A large number of various decorations used by the martial arts to express themselves were added to the wide pocket, making the armor as beautiful as a peacock's tail.

Because the wars at that time were more about Ji Ji warriors showing off their prowess. Whether the armor's defense was strong or not was not as important as showing off one's heroic posture in battle.

Unlike the various tools used in battle formations in later generations, the pursuit is defensive power, lightness and durability, which is conducive to long-term combat. How good-looking can that thing be?

Touching the handsome reflective red armor again, Yiyin sighed and withdrew his hand.

He was someone who had fought in a war, so of course he knew that these nine sets of nine-color armor were just the same, but they looked really expensive.

"It's a precious treasure, but it's a pity that I can't go into battle."

Master Jueshu behind him looked at his words and saw that Yiyin really liked these big armors, and he felt proud.

Sure enough, men just like gorgeous things, and even extraordinary men are not exempt from the vulgarity. It seems that I made the right gift this time.

Master Jueshu said with a smile.

"Jin Duo Hall, these are ritual vessels. They are not originally used in battles and are not convenient for seeing blood. They are only used for ceremonial purposes.

Look carefully, is there anything special about the center armor of this armor?"

Yiyin observed carefully and found that some of the layers of iron pieces were light in color, and these light red iron pieces faintly formed a word.

"Benevolence?"

Master Jueshu said proudly.

"Yes, it is indeed a word of benevolence.

There is a word in the middle of the armor of these nine sets of armors, which are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, brotherhood and forbearance.

The combination of these nine sets of ritual utensils is the treasure of Jingguangyuan, the nine bright virtues."

Yiyin looked around in shock. Indeed, every piece of armor had a word on the chest. He couldn't help but secretly complain.
