The biggest regret this time was that I couldn't see Katsuhime, because the distance to the Konoe family has shortened to a stone's throw away. The Konoe family sent more than a dozen female officials at once to teach Katsuhime the knowledge and etiquette, and her life was tense and stressful.
He was also much older, so Yoshiki Kira waited for several days before he got the chance to meet Katsuhime.
As a result, he realized that he was going to be disappointed once he entered Nijo Imperial Palace. As Katsuhime's brother, he could only listen to the little Lolita's voice behind a curtain a few meters away. Katsuki spoke in a soft voice.
, there was no lively tone in the past, and it was obvious that her words and deeds were influenced by the senior female officer on the side. This change made Kira Yoshitoki only lament a few times.
He couldn't find a reason to deal with all the harsh female officials. One Ah Wan might be excusable, but what should he do with many Ah Wans? He didn't know what to say, leaving Sheng Ji with a
After receiving only the carefully made bamboo flute and many pastries made by Aju's own hands, Kiragi could only say goodbye in frustration.
Returning to Sakamoto Castle, the Kira family's New Year's Eve party will also be held as scheduled. Takigawa Tokiichi, who is practicing outside, has returned again. In the past half a year, this guy has been staying at the Hoho-in to learn spearmanship, following the monks and soldiers all day long.
It also gave him a bit more toughness. Originally, Kiragi thought he could learn some Buddhism from the headquarters of the Hoshu Sect and become more refined and calm. But now it seems that he was still too naive.
The guy still looked heartless and stubborn.
Shima Tokikatsu has been staying with Kira Yoshitoki as the leader of the horseback group. He was left in Sakamoto Castle to continue his training. In addition to receiving the spearmanship instruction from Watanabe Takazuna on a single day, he received the archery instruction from Naito Masashige on both days.
In addition, he also took time to study the military strategy notes and various military books that Yamamoto Tokiyuki lent him to read. Kira Yoshitoki could only envy him. As a lord, he could not have his retainers as his disciples, so he could only look at Shima Sakon.
Drooling by chance.
Honda Tokimasa's life has also changed with the constant changes in Sakamoto Castle. On the surface, he maintains the appearance of being smart and strong. The biggest change is that he has more smiles on his face. The increase in the number of smiles has also made his speech gradually.
He has softened, and his temperament that used to be sharp-tongued and careless gradually changed. Among so many people, he has changed the most. Probably because smart people know how to adapt to life better.
After the New Year, Honda turned fourteen. In ancient times, whether in China or Japan, this age was a critical year for adulthood. When I saw Kira Yoshitoki, he was one of the few guys younger than him who respected him.
With his rapid growth, Honda suddenly found himself under a lot of pressure.
In addition to the habit of going to Yamamoto Tokiyuki to ask questions, he didn't know when he started to join Hosokawa Fujitaka and other members of the group to help. He was responsible for going down to the castle town and Sakamoto Port to collect and record
According to Raku Shirei’s feedback from Sakamoto Port Town, he did this job very well and felt like a fish in water. He was able to find something suitable for him to prove himself, which made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.
There is also good news. The very stubborn Honda Tokimasa has given up his belief in the Ichijo sect, and his wife has switched to the Myoshinji sect of the Rinzai sect, which is believed by the Kira family. Perhaps because of his frequent contact with intellectuals, he has gradually moved towards another religion.
The direction changed, Mikawa dialect could no longer be heard, and he always reported to Kira Yoshitoki in a less than standard Kyoto accent.
In the nearly a year since Kira Yoshitomo moved into Sakamoto, he has repeatedly invited eminent monks from Myoshinji Temple and Daitokuji Temple to pair up with several reserve teams to preach Buddhism.
The number of believers dropped sharply, and even the two reserve teams at Omi had many more believers from the Myoshinji sect.
They obtained a large amount of rewards from the victory of the joint war, allowing these lower-class Ashigaru from peasant families to live a good life. When Kiragi learned that farmers in this era generally could not get married until they were thirty years old, he began to make plans.
How to solve the dilemma of the three rivers being like rootless duckweeds.
Most of the Mikawa people were trained by Kansuke Yamamoto himself, and he still had considerable influence on this group of people. Kira Yoshitoki wanted to let Kansuke Yamamoto be a matchmaker to solve the worries of this group of people, so Kansuke Yamamoto started walking around.
People in the alleys set up marriage agencies and worked hard to find wives for the bachelors in Sanhe.
Daughters-in-law have ready-made choices. The widows in Shiga and Takashima counties who lost their husbands due to the Fukakusa War are the best choices. The poor class in medieval Japan lived in poverty, and the living environment of widows was even worse. These widows lost their men.
Poor women often face bullying, and some are even abducted and trafficked to remote rural areas to live a horrible life.
They received a pension and compensation from the Kira family, but there was no man to guard the hard-earned money in exchange for their lives. Now with a group of young men from the Mikawa clan, this last social hazard has been blocked, and the collective of more than 2,000 people
Under the instructions of Yoshitoki Kira, the wedding took only two months to prepare.
On December 1, the 19th year of Tenmon, a banquet was held in Sakamoto Castle Town to celebrate the union of more than two thousand couples. Because there were more widows and fewer men, some men even married two widows. They were used to fighting in blood and fire.
The Mikawa warriors also began to long for a happy life in the future.
These widows basically married off with nothing to show for it. After the baptism of marriage, these women easily captured young men with strong vitality. Not only did these guys find a spiritual haven, but most of them had it as soon as they got married.
A bunch of sons and daughters who have changed their surnames make these guys smile so much that they can't close their mouths every day.
This matter not only received strong support from Yamamoto Tokiyuki, but also received widespread support among the Mikawa clan. Except for samurai such as Ina Tadaye, Watanabe Takatsuna, and Naito Masashige who are already married and have children, most of the others are still single.
Ichijo, in order to appease the married samurai, Kira Yoshitsune ordered their wives and children to live in Omi, and promised that their children would serve in the Kira family.
The combination of Mikawa samurai and Omi widows was called by Hosokawa Fujitaka Yamamoto Sado-den's mysterious strategy to solve the psychological and physical problems of the Mikawa people. It also used the influence of the widows from Omi country to control the future.
Jizong's influence took root and gradually spread, and the religious composition of the Mikawa samurai changed significantly.
According to the statistics of Hattori Yasuchō, more than 90% of Mikawa's Ichijo Sect believers have converted in the past six months. Only a small number of die-hards are working hard to persuade. It must be possible for the direct army to go to the Ichijo Sect soon.
change.
After the Honganji Temple in Ishiyama was hit by the Yamashina Honganji Temple Burning Incident, the desire to attack was far less strong than that of the rampant Kaga Ichikou clan. However, Kira Yoshito had to worry about the influence of the Ichikou clan, which was hanging over the heads of all samurai.
He will not forget the fragments in his memory. There are many people in the Kira family's retainers who believe in the Yixiang sect. If this problem is not solved, he, the governor, will be dancing on the edge of the fire pit. An internal rebellion will be enough.
Let the retainers fall into pieces.
After arriving in Kyoto, after nearly half a year in power, Ashikaga Yoshitō already looked like a British ruler. Kyoto was out of control due to the rebellion of Ise Sadataka and his death. On the suggestion of Kira Yoshitoki, the Kyoto Office was set up to manage Kyoto's government affairs.
Mibuchi Harumoto was the first acting director of the Kyoto Office. Under his management, the deterioration of public security in Kyoto improved, businesses recovered, and the population increased significantly in half a year. The post of former director of the administrative office was replaced by Settsu Haruto, and the Muromachi shogunate became active.
The Ise family declined for hundreds of years.
