Perhaps because Kira Yoshitoki's suggestion made him angry, Nagao Kagetora continued his trip with his retainers. This was a second trip around Kinki. In his words, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading, so he wanted to go out.
I walked around the beautiful mountains and rivers of Kinki, went boating on the banks of Loquat Lake, wrote poems and composed poems, etc., just to digest his suggestions.
Kira Yoshitoki didn't understand the connection between traveling, reciting poems and composing poems and digesting his suggestions, but he didn't dare to mess with this guy. This young man who seemed kind-hearted was still the Echigo Dragon who chose people to eat.
, thinking of his sick first wife, he became troubled again.
Just when he was troubled by this, the sudden visit of Konoe Haritsugu disrupted his rhythm. The moment the Minister Guan Shizuo opened his mouth, he almost fainted from fright.
"I'm sorry Yoshitoki!" Konoe Haritsugu said apologetically: "My roommate is ill and will not be able to complete her engagement with Yoshitoki!"
"What's going on?" Kira Yoshi was stunned for a moment, and it took him a quarter of an hour to realize that he had encountered such a thing. He didn't know whether he felt happy or bitter: "I haven't figured out how to speak yet.
Talking about the engagement, you suddenly said that you are not in good health and cannot fulfill the engagement? Do you give her a pillow if you feel sleepy? Life is too hard for her? Or should you say that you are very lucky? Or are you very unlucky? "
At this moment, he thought of several answers. He vaguely remembered that earlier Ashikaga Yoshitō had intentionally or unintentionally reminded the Konoe Zetsuhime that she was in poor health, and then recalled that Naoze Michizan had mentioned that there was a very important person in Kyoto.
The princess of your noble Gongqing's family was born with frail health and was in good and bad health. Whether she could live past the age of twenty depended on luck. Even if she got married, it would be difficult for her to have children.
Also, Konoe Haritsugu suddenly left in a hurry a few days ago. Then rumors spread about the princess' illness in Konoe's family. This was revealed after deliberately blocking the news. The exact extent of the illness is really unknown.
It’s hard to say, but if it doesn’t last until the wedding ceremony is held two years later, it will cause a huge blow to the reputation of the Konoe family and the Kira family.
Even Ashikaga Yoshitō, the shogunate, could not accept the result that his wife died of illness before they even got married, the woman who made the engagement died before she got married, and her husband was called a widower, and the man who made the engagement didn't get married yet.
What should I call my wife after she dies? How much harm will this cause to Kira Yoshitoki, and how much impact will it have on the Kira family and the shogunate?
The Konoe family will also be suspected of doing this deliberately. With so many direct and collateral relatives of the Konoe family, can't they choose a healthy princess with both political integrity and talent to marry Kiragi? Why would they choose a princess who is dying of illness?
Will Yangzi be the betrothed person? How much harm will it cause to the Konoe family by then?
Don’t forget that the Kujo family, the Shoseki family, are the mortal enemies of the Konoe family. Although Kujo Yumichi went bankrupt and lived in seclusion due to unbearable debt pressure after falling out with his retainers, the powerful Takaji family of the Konoe family also died out, and now in
Among the most distinguished of the five regents, the Konoe family must face the possible criticism of Nijo and Ichigo from two political opponents alone, especially the former Minister Guan Baizuo and the elder of the Fuji family, Nijo Haruyoshi, who are his main political opponents and will never let him go.
Opportunity to criticize him.
"My sister-in-law is very talented and has an outstanding appearance. Motoki and Yoshitoki are a good couple, but unfortunately she was born with a weak body that is difficult to recover from..." Konoe Haritsugu was also embarrassed. His sister suddenly fell ill and was almost in danger of death. Although she was killed by Nause
Dao San risked his life to rescue him. But after this blow, everyone including his father objected to continuing to fulfill the engagement. He could only bite the bullet and explain: "A few days ago, she had decided to cut off her hair and become a nun for me.
The Konoe family prays for blessings, so I’m sorry!”
"I didn't expect it to be like this? I don't know whether this is good luck or bad luck!" Kira Yoshihi sighed. He didn't need to think too much to know that the innocent girl would be like this after learning about her father and brother's will.
With what kind of pessimism and disappointment do you face the bleak life, and finally decide to abandon the worldly glory and wealth and spend the rest of your life in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.
"In other words... did Princess Jueji herself request to become a nun?"
"Although I'm a little embarrassed, I still have to say... yes!" Konoe Haritsugu looked sad. He also felt sorry for this precious sister. The eldest daughter of the Konoe family is not a cabbage on the street. She is gentle, kind, virtuous and talented.
Both of them, coupled with her outstanding beauty, make this sister very popular in the family.
But God is jealous of talents, but such a perfect woman is born weak. She spends all day lingering on the sickbed and can only keep company with books. Now she has just made a perfect match, but she cannot afford to fall ill and almost separate the yin and yang, which makes him lament.
Why would a god and Buddha treat his sister and the Konoe family like this? Isn't he pious enough?
After lamenting for a long time, he forced himself to pull himself together, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have a younger sister who is eight years old this year. She is also very suitable as a marriage partner for Yishi..."
"Wait! I have something to say!" He quickly stopped him, jokingly asking him to continue talking. Wouldn't it be a trick to give him another girl? So he took a deep breath and said: "Since Her Majesty Jue Ji cannot fulfill her promise,
I think you still need to think carefully about the engagement contract!"
"What do you mean by Yoshitoki?" Konoe Haritsugu immediately understood the rejection in his words, and said slightly unhappy: "Does it mean that my daughter of the Konoe family doesn't agree with you?"
"No! I just think that doing this is unfair to Princess Jueji. If it were replaced by someone else, it would definitely make her even more sad!"
Konoe Haritsugu was silent. Yoshitoki Kira was right. Zeuhime and Ashikaga Yoshitō's wife Kikuhime were both his sisters. The three siblings had gotten along very well since childhood. Zeuhime's health had never been good.
That's great. He hasn't been out much since he was a child. The only people he can get along well with at home are his brother and sister.
And the eight-year-old sister he just mentioned is just a concubine. She is far different in terms of birth status and closeness. Konoe Haritsugu also knows that doing this will be very unfair to Zeki, and even the news itself will make her unable to
Accept it, but the marriage with the Kira family was a strategy set by his father, the Konoe family, so he couldn't make a decision for the moment.
"How about adopting an adopted daughter? The adopted daughter of a daughter of the Wu family?"
"No! It's absolutely not allowed to adopt a daughter! It's not like my Konoe family doesn't have daughters..." Konoe Haritsugu hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's okay for Yuko to arrive."
The word "Yu Zi" originated from ancient China. It originally meant the son of a brother. It also means nephew. But the meaning changed after it was introduced to Japan. The earliest record of Yu Zi in Japanese history was in the Heian period, Minamoto was called
Emperor Junwa designated him as Yuko. The difference between Yuko and adopted son is that Yuko is only a contractual relationship. Yuko does not have to change his original surname. It is more similar to the meaning of recognizing a godfather and godmother, but it is different.
This is the son of You who can enjoy the right of inheritance.
The purpose of becoming a Yuko is to be promoted more smoothly in the official position, to take advantage of marriage or to strengthen the relationship with other clans. After the Kamakura period, the boundaries between Yuko and adopted sons were clearly drawn. By the Warring States Period,
The custom of Youzi is even more popular. For example, a certain monkey was accepted as Youzi by the person in front of him, thus successfully obtaining the position of Guanbai.
"Yu Zi?" Kira Yoshichi thought for a moment and then said, "That's okay! Then it's settled! Leave the daughter of the martial arts to me to contact you!"
"Yeah!" Konoe Haritsugu stood up and left.
After the Konoe family's problem was solved, he immediately sent someone to contact Nagao Kagetora, and at the same time returned to Sakamoto to make necessary preparations. The first was to strengthen the defense force. The damaged reserve team was still recuperating, and Omi's four preparations were still in good order.
The army of 9,000 was replenished without much effort, and there were still 1,000 more people. Adding in the wounded soldiers in the past few years, it was no problem to say that the army of 12,000 was no problem. If the water was squeezed out, there would still be 5,000.
Soldiers of War.
The training of the Iron Artillery Team was good, but the tactical advantages of the Iron Artillery Team had not yet been fully utilized. At the post-war military discussion, Takigawa Masushige also expressed his opinion that the Iron Artillery Team was not suitable for firing volleys in front of the formation.
It is best to be on a river that is inaccessible. In the Battle of Guishan, without the bombardment of 300 heavy iron cannons, the Miyoshi family did not dare to charge, fearing that the occupation would be even worse.
After the introduction of the Kiso horse breed during Kiragi's reign, dozens of horses have been able to be ridden and trained in the past two years. In addition, some inferior Oshu horses are enough to equip the riding horses of more than 100 people.
Speaking of which, the Japanese horse belongs to the Mongolian horse breed. It is characterized by its short stature, short and thick legs, cold resistance and strong tolerance. It can also eat rough grass and snow to satisfy its hunger. However, it is not suitable for heavy cavalry horses because of its impact and strength.
It's not very fast, but it's very suitable for light cavalry and horse archers.
Of course, it doesn't matter in Japan. The Kira family's Akabi cavalry is not a heavy cavalry. The armor on the body is less than 20 kilograms, and the armor on the horse is only more than ten kilograms. However, this miniature version of the Akabi cavalry is a head-on challenge for the Miyoshi family.
A heavy blow, if he hadn't been reluctant to suffer a large proportion of battle losses, he could have completely penetrated the Sanhao family's main formation, and maybe there would have been a chance to kill Sanhao Changqing.
Of course, the consequences of this are also very serious. First of all, the exhausted red cavalry will definitely be torn to pieces by the Miyoshi family who rushes madly. The Miyoshi family will definitely fight with their lives against the Kira family, and in the end they will gain something.
It's hard to say whether it was a victory or a disastrous defeat. After all, the military commander of the Miyoshi family was Miyoshi Yoshihide, not Miyoshi Changqing who was in charge of politics and diplomacy.
Kira Yoshitsune meant to train the side soldiers as cavalry reserve soldiers. Eighty red soldiers were killed in the battle and fifteen horse warriors were killed in the battle. This loss made him very sad. It would take at least three days to retrain these ninety-five people.
Years of time, during which countless money and efforts were invested to make them loyal and fight for honor. This is not just about being equipped with everything from armor to weapons, but making them loyal to the Kira family from the bottom of their hearts, fighting bravely and having steel-like discipline.
, this invisible loss may exceed 20,000 yuan.
At the end of October, the long-lost Dutch fleet finally came to Sakai Town again. Kira Yoshitsune immediately rushed there after receiving the news. In order to arrange this meeting, he also specially requisitioned the Tsuda family's Nanman Commercial Building for more than a year.
, Nanman Merchant Hall has also received many Nanman merchants one after another, and the interior decoration of the merchant hall is obviously a higher level than before.
I met Frank Agote again after a year and a half. At this time, he was already over 1.5 meters tall and was considered a very handsome boy. When we met again, Frank Agote was already more handsome than last year. Obviously this year
Life was going well.
"Oh! My dear friend Joseph, we meet again!" Frank Agote seemed to notice that the young man in front of him was calmer than before, so he took the initiative to walk over and give a bear hug, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a year, Joseph has already
He turned into a handsome young man, and old Frank’s hair turned white!”
"Uncle!" The blonde girl was wearing a beautiful floor-length skirt, a gorgeous cloak, her golden hair was combed into wispy braids, and she had a small hat on her head. She was the only attractive person in her body.
What is noticeable is the high collar, decorated with a circle of lace neck flowers, which is a typical outfit of European aristocratic girls.
"Oh! Beautiful Claudia! What a fate to meet again in a foreign country!" Kira Yoshi walked over and bowed gently, then said with a smile: "Claudia is really getting more and more beautiful.
I can’t imagine how radiant you will be in a few years!”
"Dear Joseph, please don't say such disgusting words to a lady, I will feel ashamed!" Claudia smiled and made a lady's bow.
Frank Agot shook his head and said: "Our gentleman, please take a seat first! After riding on the boat for several months, old Frank's waist can hardly bear it!"
"If you are not in a hurry to leave, I can take you to take a dip in the Kek Lok Si Hot Spring in Hanoi. You must know that taking a hot spring bath in the East is an aristocratic activity! You can relax your mind and recuperate your body, and treat Frank's physical problems.
Therapy is the best!”
"Hot springs? Do you also have hot springs here? God! It's great!" Frank Agot showed a pleased expression and said, "Then I must try it! Does Little Tia want to try it?"
"Uncle!" Claudia said helplessly: "Thank you for your warm hospitality, Joseph!"
"Well, you're welcome, I thought you would definitely refuse!" Kira Yoshihi shrugged and said, "I remember that people on Europa don't like to take baths, right?"
Frank Agote said with a smile: "That's true. But since the Crusades, bathing has become something that some nobles love. For example, the beautiful Queen Isabel loved bathing, and the great Emperor Charlemagne also loved bathing.
I really like soaking in the hot springs in Aachen. Speaking of which, I have also been to Aachen to look for that hot spring. It is indeed a good place.”
"We Protestants don't abide by the rules of the Holy See. The Pope doesn't let us take a bath, so we insist on taking a bath." Claudia pouted and said.
"Uh... it looks very complicated." Kira Yoshi was a little dumbfounded. It was a little complicated that this bathing could involve history and religion, so he added: "What goods did Frank bring this time? I have already prepared it here.
How about a lot of precious porcelain and fine raw silk? Are you satisfied with the goods last time?" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
ps: Which country has higher land and stone than Echigo? Ume went to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to check the information. Niigata Prefecture is currently the second largest grain base after Hokkaido. The annual grain output is 4 million stone!
99% of them are rice, and the cultivation of wheat and soybeans is very small! In the late Edo period, the stone height of Echigo was 1.15 million koku, ranking second after Musashi! This is under the premise that the disadvantage of planting late rice is obvious.
