"Speaking of which, Sanada Yukitaka was still begging for food under Shinano-don's tent. Later, when he heard that the Takeda family was recruiting compatriots, he ignored Shinano-don's repeated attempts to stay and left his relatives behind to return to Shinano. Now, seven or eight years have passed. His
Life is so joyful! The fate of this life is so unpredictable!" Speaking of Yukitaka Sanada, who had a relationship with Obata Kenshige back then, and now he is the number one person in Shinano country, it's no wonder he is envious.
.
Nagano Yegu insisted on interjecting: "He is so proud of himself! Last year, he was thrown away from his armor by Chi Beitu of the Military Guards Hall, and almost lost his life. Now Xiaozhen County has lost nearly
For half a year, I can only stay in my old nest and not get out, but I am so proud of the spring breeze!"
"Let's not talk about that..." Nagano Kenchu smiled bitterly. He really had nothing to do with this sharp-tongued junior, so he could only guide the topic: "Let's talk about what we should do? The Takeda family in Shinano, the Musashi family
The Hojo family is an ally and we work together. How can we, the Ueno people, fight with the strength of one country against the invading armies of several countries? The situation this year is unstoppable. Ye Gu is right, be careful not to change over time!"
"What to do..." A group of Chinese people held their heads and thought hard for a long time.
"Do you really don't know or are you pretending not to know?" Nagano Yegu sneered: "Since ancient times, those people in Higashi Ueno have not been with us. What can we, the samurai family of the West Ueno half country, do to resist Takeda and the Hojo countries? Don't you think so?
Don’t you see that there is no way back now?”
"Shengjiro..."
"Yegudian is right!" As a young man, Nobuzada Kobata quite agreed with his idea, and then said: "How long can I rely on Jia Yue's tiger power to support him? Ka Yue is too old to go out and how long will it last?
what to do?"
"Boy Nobuzada, please don't underestimate me! I will have no problem fighting for another ten years!" Nagano Yamasa glared at his young son-in-law, then half-closed his eyes and chanted softly. Whenever the battle is over, Nagano Yasumasa will always say
Reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra softly a hundred times, this habit has been with him for more than 40 years.
Now the daughter of his first wife, Asahi Uesugi, has passed away for many years, and the adopted daughter of his second wife, Asahi Uesugi, also died in a plague. Now, the third wife is Uesugi Kenmasa's younger sister, Nagano Yap
He gave birth to his current legitimate son, Shingoro, and survived the death of two main wives one after another. He was still able to give birth to several sons and daughters with the current main wife a few years ago. This veteran's development in all aspects is not ordinary.
Kobata Nobuzada was stared at twice by his father-in-law and father and kept his mouth shut. Another loudmouth, Nagano Yago, had no father and brother to look after him, so he still thought of himself and said: "The only way out for us is to seek refuge in Wuweidian! Don't forget Wuweidian.
Last year's defeat of the Takeda family was a great victory. It not only consolidated the dominance of Northern Shinano, but also captured the entire Sarada County in one fell swoop, nearly half of the Kozhin County! Yukitaka Sanada and others could only hold on, and we, such a famous general, took refuge.
Wouldn’t it be possible to have peace of mind now?”
"I'm afraid what Iyomori said is untrue, right?" Tadanari Anaka, who was also young and energetic, asked back: "You must also know what the Takeiden did in Hokushinano. He confiscated tens of thousands of koku from the Hokushinano fields and also sent several Japanese people to prison.
Removing the name from the list is simply worse than the Takeda family! Aren't you afraid that such a person would seek refuge in the past and one day he would also be reckoned with?"
The Nagano family and the Anaka family are also old acquaintances. Sitting next to Anaka Tadanari is his father. Anaka Echizen Shou Tadamasa. This veteran in his fifties is also a brave general among Ueno's. He has conquered the country for many years to gain strength. extraordinary.
Nagano Yegu was not a fool, and he even nodded to the veteran before replying: "It's wrong for Tadashi-den to say that. Those people have internal connections with the Takeda family, so why can't they deal with the betrayers? I'm very confused. I agree with Wu Weidian’s approach and will never be merciful to people like Riki! Tolerating them is encouraging more people to betray!"
Wada Yeshige said disapprovingly: "Let's not talk about this issue for now... The governor has been taking refuge in Echigo for more than half a year, and he still hasn't invited Echigo's army. This shows that Echigo doesn't care much about us!"
Oto Sakonbei, the lord of Oto Castle, nodded: "I heard that this year's Weideian wedding was held, new fields were developed for land improvement, and tens of thousands of people were mobilized to dig everywhere. It was just nonsense. I didn't know that this noble man from Kyoto was here. What are you thinking about?"
"Could it be that Wuweidian was not satisfied with what Guanlingdian had given him?" Nagano Yegu responded quickly. He was choked by a rhetorical question for a short time before he thought of a new idea: "Don't forget that Guanlingdian is here. I went to Dr. Satake Ukyo and exchanged the position of Kanto Governor for reinforcements. Now that the Governor has nothing, he will not mind selling the Uesugi family heirloom again, right?"
"Haha..." The people of Ueno country looked at each other and smiled, but when they looked up, they saw Nagano Ye glaring at each other angrily. They quickly stopped their smiles and pretended not to know anything.
Nagano Yezheng groaned and rebuked angrily: "Are you so happy that the leader of the palace is being humiliated? Don't forget that we have been greatly favored by the Uesugi family in this life. Without the Uesugi family, we would not be where we are today!"
Nagano is a standard traditional samurai family. The three principal wives are all from the Uesugi family. The first two are from the Uesugi family of Ogitani, and this one is the princess of the Uesugi family of Yamauchi. It can be said that they have received great favor from the Uesugi family for generations, except for the acting guardian of Ueno. Apart from the Oga family, he is the one who should support Uesugi Kensei the most.
But he didn't do it. Under the strong opposition of his relatives and a group of sons-in-law, he didn't send troops to rescue Uesugi Kensei who had escaped from Hirai Castle. He knew that if he forced the rescue, one of his sons-in-law would definitely turn his back on him. The poor Kanto governor gave the gift to Hojo Ujiyasu, so he could only remain silent.
Now he deeply regrets his silence and inaction. Without the protection of the Uesugi Constitution, they are a group of ministers without a master. Without a powerful and powerful king to command the people, the Ueno people lack cohesion. Now they have created a hinoki fan Isshin It's just a stop-gap measure. Without the full support of their relatives and a dozen sons-in-law, their fate will be worse than that of the Northern Shinano people.
"The current situation really doesn't allow us to wait any longer. Looking around Ueno, who can we choose? There is only the Echigo Budeiden..."
"That's enough!" Nagano Ye was trying to stop his son-in-law's nonsense. He stood up and walked around and said, "Everyone has worked hard for so long. Let's go back and have a rest!"
Nagano Yegu still chased after him without giving up and said: "Father-in-law! Let's take the initiative to contact the Guanling Palace. Let my son-in-law go visit the Guanling Palace and bring back some news."
Nagano Yasumasa hesitated for a moment. Finally he nodded: "That's fine. Go see the scenery of Echigo. Remember to write it down."
"I want to go too!" Kobata Nobuzada ignored the glare of his father Kobata Norishige and murmured: "I also want to see Echigo. I heard that there is a lot of food in Echigo. If we can ask for some support from the Bude Palace, our lives will be better.
It’s better to have a better life. There have been many farmers fleeing famine in recent years, and the land is almost deserted. What a pity!”
The young man's words hit Nagano Yamasa's heart. In the past few years, natural disasters and military disasters have continued one after another, especially in the past two years, earthquakes, floods, droughts, locust plagues, and plagues have struck one after another, causing the population of Ueno to drop sharply to 25
If this continues, there will be almost no farmers left to cultivate the land.
The veteran wanted to speak several times but was unable to say anything. Every time he saw ragged farmers when he went out of the city, it made him feel sad. Once upon a time, Ueno was also a big and wealthy country with fertile land and stable people. Under the rule of the Uesugi family, this place was once a small town in Kanto.
There is a paradise.
Now the war has destroyed this paradise on earth, and many families have been torn apart because of the war. In the decades that he followed the Uesugi family in the Kanto region, he buried hundreds of fellow samurai with his own hands. Among these people were even uncles and fathers of the samurai family here.
,grandfather.
Now he is old. No matter how brave the tiger is, there will be a day when he is so old that he can no longer walk. Even if he can still eat well, sleep well, still have the energy to be affectionate with his wife and have children, and can still bravely go into battle to kill the enemy... but
He knew that he was getting old, his hair and beard were all white and wrinkles were covering his cheeks, and his strength was losing with time. One day he would not be able to ride a horse, draw his bow, or even get off the bed.
"Go! Bring more warriors, the road will be safer."
Kobata Kentashige said worriedly: "But they are still too young. There is chaos outside. What if..."
Nagano Ye was very open-minded and persuaded him: "You're not too young! We are samurai who first entered the battle at the age of thirteen or fourteen. We have beheaded many people at their age! Young eagles have to go through it.
It takes wind and rain to grow, let them go and develop freely!"
"Okay!" Kobata Kentashige was finally convinced. He turned to his anxious son and told him, "Be careful on the road and listen to your cousin's words. I will send a hundred Chibi to protect you.
.”
"Thank you, father!" Kobata Shinzada happily expressed his thanks.
An invasion that caused a sensation in Kanto ended up with Takeda and Hojo returning empty-handed. The tenacity, unity and strength shown by Nagano Yamasa and Minawa shocked the people of Kanto. The uprightness, loyalty and bravery he showed were praised.
The Kanto warriors praised him greatly, saying that Shangzhou Huangban had the style of the ancient Bando warriors.
After autumn, Yoshitoki Kira married two daughters, Naotora Ii and Sandalwood Numata, both of whom were allowed to look at each other but not eat them. No matter how many tricks Numata Sandalwood tried, Kira Yoshitoki would not go to her room to spend the night.
She was so angry that she burst into tears. Torahime would always behave like a royal wife at this time, comforting Numata Sandalwood that she shouldn't be sad, as the women of the samurai family always had to endure hardships and so on.
With his keen judgment of the situation and superb skills, he temporarily suppressed Numata Sandalwood who jumped away. With Kira Yoshitoki's understanding and cooperation, the first female guardian daimyo of the Warring States period graciously allowed him to enter and exit her room.
Of course, the ban is still in effect, and you cannot do shameful things within three years.
When Chiyome Mochizuki pitifully found Kiragi, she shook his arm and said: "It's not fair! Why can Sister Naotora and Sister Sandalwood marry His Highness, but why can't Chiyome? Why not? Does His Highness hate Chiyome?
Already?"
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Kira Yoshi could only say: "It's not that I hate Chiyo-chan, it's just that Chiyo-onna is too young. She is only twelve years old and cannot get married! Look at Ahu, Naohu, and Tan.
Xiangdu said she didn’t get married until she was fourteen, so wait patiently for two years, eat more, sleep more and exercise more, and you’ll be able to grow taller!”
"Chiyome knows! Does His Highness like tall women? So Chiyome will definitely work hard!" The little girl ran away quickly.
"The little Doudin who is less than 1.4 meters is too short..." Kiragi said subconsciously: "I am not a lolita fan, so I have to at least grow to 1.6 meters like Ahu.
"
Starting from late spring and throughout the summer, several counties in Shimotsu are not idle. Polders must be built in autumn and winter, and dams must be compacted only when the land gradually becomes hard in late autumn. In spring and summer, the land is soft and contains a lot of water.
If it rains a little more, building embankments will be in vain. Digging branches and canals is also best in autumn and winter, but there are too many things to do in autumn and winter, so we can only arrange to do it in spring and summer.
As the general manager of the project, Fujitaka Hosokawa had to take a boat there every few days to watch for a day or two before coming back to work. Mitsui Takayasu was assigned to be his assistant. The young man was energetic and flexible, and could learn things better than the wooden one.
A child who seems so naive is a thousand times faster. In the words of Kira Yoshiki, to be a devout person, you need to be smart and learn quickly. Of course, the more important thing is to be loyal and abide by the law.
In recent years, there have been dozens of followers who committed crimes. Such people either embezzled some money or framed their colleagues to benefit themselves at the expense of others. There are many means of punishment, ranging from whipping to confiscation of property, downgraded to one level to
Several levels, starting from the bottom and continuing through various methods, so as not to kill or maim them, but also to make them feel pain.
Because the accounts of the Kira family are very clear and there are not many loopholes to exploit. It is said that the Western accounting method was obtained from Nanman during the Kira era. The powerful payment system of the Kira family allows the followers to have no way to hide their secret methods.
Someone was caught inexplicably, and gradually many followers became more cautious.
Mitsui Takayasu is one of the most outstanding young practitioners. After several years of practice, he has developed the ability to write shorthand, and with his photographic memory, he can do everything several times faster than others. With Mitsui Takayasu as his assistant,
According to the standards of the public, various types of government affairs are sorted into four levels: urgent, important, more important, ordinary, which can effectively improve work efficiency.
At the end of autumn and into winter, Echigo's autumn harvest statistics for the new year have been basically completed. For the first time, the total area of Echigo's cultivated land was calculated to be 63,000 machibu, and the total grain output reached an astonishing two million koku, nearly double the total grain output last year.
Two times, facts have proven that the new grain varieties have unquestionable high-yielding characteristics. The ultra-high yield also corrects the criticism of the new grains in Echigo. The yield of Kanto Koshin cultivation is not satisfactory, which does not mean that it cannot be grown in Echigo.
High yielding grain.
Compared with the previous year, which was full of disasters and disasters, this year's weather, although not the best in decades, can still be said to be smooth and the countryside is peaceful. There is no sky and no rain. It started with a few spring rains in early spring.
, forty or fifty rains a year are considered standard, and the flood season is also passed smoothly.
Including the 5,000 machibu newly developed this year, the land owned by the Kira family in Echigo exceeds 12,000 machibu, and the land owned by the Nagao family exceeds 8,500 machibu. Up to now, The two families have become veritable big landowners in Echigo, with a total of 200,000 farmers working for them, including 120,000 native Echigo residents and another 80,000 refugees from Hokuriku, Kanto, and Uyo.
At present, the total cultivated land area of Echigo is 63,000 machibu, of which about 20,000 machibu are used to grow new grains. The grain produced by this part of the land accounts for 80% of the total output. The 1.6 million koku new grains are enough for dozens of Echigo. Thousands of people have been fed for two years, and the joy of the harvest hangs on everyone's face. The days are getting better and better, and the future will be more promising.
