According to Yamamoto Kansuke, during his more than ten years of study abroad, he had seen the snow of Mutsu, the fire of Sakurajima, the samurai of Kanto, and the pirates of Kansai. He had traveled all over the country and met many people, and he had also visited many ancient battlefields, astronomy, etc. He knows a bit about geography, humanities and customs, and has participated in more than a dozen large and small battles as a wandering warrior.
His one eye and lame leg were injured by an avalanche when he was on a study tour. The disability of his fingers and the stab wounds on his body are all from the marks left in those battles. It is a pity that the wealthy and famous people look down on the ugly Yamamoto Kansuke. , and did not believe that he would have any great talents. Whether it was to contribute strategies or to serve as city builders, he was rejected without exception. Yamamoto Kansuke's career as an official was very bumpy.
According to Kira Mansomaru, based on his experience, he can write books and establish himself as a cultural celebrity. Unfortunately, Kansuke Yamamoto himself does not have this ambition and does not have so many gorgeous words to fill the article. Only those who do this kind of thing can do this. Only a minister who has nothing to do would do this.
No matter what style of swordsmanship, you have to use a wooden sword to chop down trees or wooden stakes from the beginning to lay the foundation. As the head of the Kira family and a direct disciple of Kansuke Yamamoto, Kira Mansomaru's training is more important than those of his sparring partners. Many, every time he struck with the weighted wooden sword, sweat would flow down his forehead. Looking up at the scorching sun high in the sky, he vented angrily: "I slash with the sword a thousand times a day, but it's still so heavy." Wooden sword! Damn it, you are abusing children! That’s right! Where did this guy go?”
"Who has seen Master?" Kira Manshomaru yelled out and asked everyone to stop. The group of people looking at each other looked at each other without making a sound. Kira Manshomaru waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse to the side to rest. I walked to the corridor and lay down in a very shameless manner. A clever young man had already come over with a wooden bucket filled with cold well water. He picked up a linen towel and dipped it in the well water to cover his forehead. The cold feeling instantly came over. Remove the heat.
"Why is the summer so hot in this era? It's so hot that I feel dizzy!" The maid walked over in small steps and sat down on her knees with tea. She pushed the teacup to Kira Manshomaru's side and said softly: "Your Highness! Ah! Ju has prepared heat-clearing and annealing chrysanthemum tea for you. Ju collected the morning dew and cooked it for His Highness! Drink it quickly!"
"Ah, Aju! I'm so busy every day that I never get a break. Come and sit for a while!" Kira Mansomaru threw the linen towel on his forehead into the barrel, picked up the chrysanthemum tea and drank it like a cow. , then wiped his mouth and said: "It tastes really good. Ah Ju, prepare more for me in the future! Just let the maid collect the dew and stuff! Don't work too hard on yourself!"
"It's not hard for Aju! As long as His Highness can grow up happily, Aju will be satisfied!" Aju was the maid of his late mother, Mrs. Zhongyuan. She was also from a noble family in Kyoto, but she was from the Zhongyuan family. He was born in the Atago family, so he was sent to follow his mother and marry into the Kira family.
"Your Highness! Come back to Kyoto when you have time!" Aju looked at him expectantly with her big eyes, making him look a little embarrassed, and then said ambiguously: "Go to Kyoto! It's too far. Oh! And I don’t know anyone either!”
"How can you say that you don't know anyone! There is your uncle in Kyoto! Her Royal Highness the Princess still missed Kyoto before she died. The Princess hopes that you can return to the hometown where she grew up, so Aju please Your Highness, please go to Kyoto!
"Aju bowed down and took it, which caught Kira Mansongmaru off guard. He quickly comforted: "Aju, get up first! You are my mother's sibling and my relative. If it weren't for my father's poor health, he would definitely take you as my concubine.
Room!"
"Your Highness, don't say such strange things! The former Duke Yi Yao and His Royal Highness the Princess were harmonious as husband and wife, and they never had any thoughts about Aju. Aju would be satisfied as long as she could watch His Highness grow up happily." Aju's red face was clumsy.
Changing the topic, she seemed to remember that it was not appropriate here, so she leaned over and said: "Anyway, please leave your Highness the princess' wishes! A'Ju will leave first!"
"Thum, thump, thump." Aju, who was taking small steps, even forgot to put away the tea tray, and ran away like a whirlwind, leaving Kira Wansongmaru in a daze that seemed to understand something: "What's wrong with this girl? What can he say?"
She's a few years older than me, but she has a pretty impressive figure, and even the Wu clothes can't hide her curves! No! Could it be that I'm feeling springy too?"
Kira Manshomaru's father is Kira Yoshihiro, the seventh-generation governor of the Kira family. There are two half-brothers before him. The eighth-generation governor is also his eldest brother, Kira Yoshigo. He died in the war with the Imagawa family in the eighth year of Tenmon.
During the war, his second brother Kira Yoshian was adopted as the heir to the head of the Tojo Kira family, a branch of the family that had always been hostile, not long after he was born.
The mother of these two brothers was the daughter of the former head wife, Mrs. Goto. Mrs. Goto died of illness due to the grief caused by the death of her eldest son in the war. The mother of Kira Manshomaru was Kira Yoshihiro. After his eldest son died in the war, he was reinstated as the family governor and returned from Kyoto.
Perhaps his mother was not used to the life in the Mikawa countryside, or she missed her hometown of Kyoto too much. In short, the wife of the middle court has been lingering since she gave birth to Kira Manshomaru in the tenth year of Tianwen.
sickbed.
After drinking the tea, you still have to continue practicing. This kind of practice does not have any tricks, just strike it with a sword. This mechanical and boring practice method is the same in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad. In fact, it is a kind of training of the subconscious mind or called
Practice makes perfect training method. If you practice like this for a long time, the feeling of chopping will be remembered in your brain and penetrate into your subconscious. When you encounter an enemy, you can subconsciously chop it out. Then you will find that the enemy has been hacked to death by you.
According to Yamamoto Kansuke, practicing the chopping technique to that level means that the strength has been initially developed. In addition to continuing to strengthen, you can further learn more advanced swordsmanship skills and complex psychological tactics. In the end, it is the ultimate in the art of war.
The secrets, the use of momentum and the practice of the sect's secret skills, in short, practicing swordsmanship is a very troublesome thing. Kira Manshomaru practiced for five years before he figured out the general appearance of the art of war.
After practicing for another half an hour, until the sun turned to the west, Zenjiro panted and ran over from the tiger's mouth connecting the two pills, shouting: "Master! Yamamoto-don is back! He also brought a bunch of new faces!"
"Oh! Are you unfamiliar?" Looking down from Honmaru, Kansuke Yamamoto, wearing a linen robe, was limping and leading dozens of strangers, large and small, into Nimaru. It seemed like this group of people was not nearby.
As a wealthy family, no one knows what kind of medicine Yamamoto Kansuke sells in his gourd.
Seeing Yamamoto Kansuke's figure, he waved: "Zenjiro! Hurry up and call everyone around to start practicing!"
"Yes!" Zenjiro immediately stood up and walked over, calling out to the younger ones. The originally chaotic team was quickly divided into several teams. The older ones practiced in pairs, and the younger ones continued to practice basic chops like Kira Mansomaru.
Chopping, shouts and "ding-dong" sounds of the collision of wooden swords came one after another.
