"Does your family belong to the Hatakeyama family? Or the Tsutsui family? How much military service does it bear? Are you a believer of Kofukuji Temple?" Kira Manshomaru asked tirelessly. Shima Sauchi squatted there and tied up the prey without saying a word. Nakajo Hidetaka
It seemed that he had returned to his old self, and Zenjiro was very annoyed and whipped the leaves randomly with his riding crop.
After he had tied up the killed wild deer, he tied the rope around himself, and slowly stood up with the deer on his shoulders under the watchful eyes of everyone, "My family belongs to the Tsutsui family and is responsible for the military service of thirty-five people."
, I am a believer of Xingfukuji Temple. You have so many questions that I can’t even answer them. I have to go and see you later!”
"Wait a minute!" Kira Manshomaru quickly got on his horse and caught up, following Shima Sauchi's footsteps as he walked and said: "We are samurai from Kyoto. We want to go around and appreciate the culture and customs of Yamato. This is our first time here.
Being able to meet you when I go to Yamato Country means that I am very destined. Since we are so destined, how about being my guide for a while? I can give you a lot of money."
"I hunt here every day." Shimazauchi shook his head again, picked up the wild deer that was bigger than him and walked back slowly.
"You rude boy! Stop!" Yamaoka Zenjiro and several horsemen immediately rushed over to block Shima Sauchi's way, raising his hand to whip the horse whip over.
"Zenjiro! Stop! Come back!" Kira Mansomaru winked at him quickly and said pleasantly: "Zenjiro has no ill intentions towards you. Maybe I should go to the island city to have a look. Can you lead the way for me?"
"Are you going to my house to be a guest?" Shima Sauchi looked at him with his head tilted, and then nodded in realization: "My father likes to entertain guests. My pickled radish and pickled meat are very delicious. Even if you buy one,
Pickled radish in Dutch only costs the same amount!”
…
Following Shimazuuchi, we arrived at Heiqun Township. Heiqun Township is the largest township in Heiqun County. It borders the Ikoma Mountains to the west and the Yada Hills to the east. In the middle of this flat land, a river named Heiqun River flows.
This is a second-level water system belonging to the Yamato River. It irrigates a large area of fertile land in the northwest of Yamato Country. It is also the basis for supporting the powerful armed forces of this Kingdom of God. The most developed area in the Yamato River Basin happens to be between Yamato Country and Hanoi Country Agriculture next to it.
the most developed areas.
Because of the special terrain of mountains to the west and hills to the east, Pingqun Township also got the name Pingqun Valley. Daojia is located in the southwest of Pingqunchuan, a Pingcheng built on Pingqunchuan in the east, and in the southeast of Pingqun Township across the river.
, the leader of the Tsubakii family who has been an enemy for generations.
The Yamatojima clan, also written as the Shima clan, is said to be a descendant of the Fujiwara surname. It became a samurai in the late Kamakura period. In the fourth year of Kagaku (1329 AD), the name of Hiragun Shimaharu appears in the text on the bamboo plaque used for Kasuga Yuyuki's equipment.
, is the first time that the Shima family participates in Yamato activities in the name of Japanese people. It seems that Shima is the only family in the entire Yamato country that has no semicolon.
The pedigree of the Tsubaki clan is much stronger than that of the Shima clan whose pedigree is unclear. Not only is there a Tsubaki clan in Yamato, but there is also a Tsubaki clan in Kyoto. The Yamato Tsubaki clan is the puppet general of the Kamakura period, Fujiwara Toruzo Sano, Nakana.
The Fujiwara clan moved to Heiqun Valley and called themselves the Tsubakii clan. In the fifth year of Hong'an (1282 AD), he was promoted to Danagon, appointed as the guardian of the four kingdoms of Iga, Yamato, Kawachi, and Awa, and built Tsubakii Castle.
Normally, there should be no conflict between these two families as they both come from the Fujiwara clan, but the problem just happened, and it broke out very fiercely. The reason was because of their respective religious stances. The Shima clan was a member of the Ichijoin clan, and the Tsubaki clan. What would be the consequences if the disciples of the Mahayana Temple of Kofukuji Temple and the disciples of the two sects on both sides were neighbors in the same village? The result is self-evident.
The two sides were originally at odds with each other. Due to their different beliefs and stances, they had fought many large and small wars over the past two hundred years. Later, for some reason, the Tsubaki clan fought with the Tsutsui clan on the side of the shogunate, and the Shima clan At the critical moment, he stepped on the Tsutsui family hard and stood on the Tsutsui family's side.
On December 28, the seventeenth year of civilization (AD 1486), the two families fought a battle in Pingqun Valley. The ninety-two-year-old Tsubakii Echizen entered the road and was killed by the governor of the Shima family. This Tsubakii family The governor of his hometown was ninety-two years old and he went into battle in person. In the end, he happened to have his head cut off by the governor of the Dao family, Shima Zuomen. It was really tragic.
Just slicing the head of the old governor of the Chunii family, of course it couldn't end like this. The Chunii family immediately decided to take revenge. Our home governor is highly virtuous and highly respected in Yamato country. Everyone knows that, and he is still ninety-two years old. Going into battle, don't your Dao family know how to respect the old and love the young?
Therefore, several powerful retainers including Kizawa Inaba, Tateno Hakuki, Koriyama Etsuchu, Jusho, the Great Residents, and Araki Emoto, who were subordinate to the Tsubaki family, decided to do whatever they wanted to do without stopping at ten o'clock the next day. Raid the island family to avenge the death of the old family governor.
Sure enough, at dawn the next morning, a fire suddenly broke out in Shima Castle. The head of the ignorant Shima Zamon who was still sleeping moved to another house. Inabata Kizawa used the same method to cut off his head. After hearing the news, Shima Zamon's head was cut off. The retainers of the Dao family quickly cleared out this group of assassins. Except for a few lucky ones who took advantage of the chaos and escaped, several of the masterminds did not escape the fate of being killed.
The warrior Kizawa Inaba Mamoru had no time to admire his trophies, but his head was cut off on the spot by the angry Shima family. The heads of the two families' governors were decapitated one after another. This was a fatal feud. From then on, the two families were separated. They have completely become mortal enemies. When going out, you have to be careful not to go alone, for fear of being stared at by the other party and having your head removed.
After arriving at Shima Castle, I met Shima Tomoyuki, the current governor of the family, also known as Shima Sakon. Shima Tomoyuki, who was over forty years old, was a bald uncle. He looked very kind, but it was impossible to tell that his grandfather Shima Zamon was a fierce general. His father Shima Tomoe Katsu, also known as Shima Zamon, is an old man who is almost seventy years old this year. It is said that he has an older brother Shima Tomo Hikaru, also known as Shima Zamon, but he was very unlucky and his head was removed by the Tsubaki family.
Listening to the family governor of the Shima family talking about their family history, Kira Mansomaru thought with a smile: "The name of this family is really amazing. It is the head of the governor of the Shima family, Tomomiho Shima, whose childhood name is Sauchonai, the previous generation’s family governor’s name was Shimazamon Tomokatsu, and his childhood name was Sauchon. This generation’s family governor, Shima Tomoyuki, was named Shima Sakon because one of his older brothers died, and his childhood name was also called Sakonai. What about this little Zuonai? A ninth-year student in Astronomy ?Isn’t that none other than Shima Sakon?”
"So as the current governor, you will be called Shima Sakon, and your son will definitely be called Shima Sakon in the future, right?"
"Yes! Guest! Zonai will inherit my name and become Shima Sakon in the future. Although it is a bit regretful, we can only hope that he will have more sons in the future and continue to pass on the name of Shima Sakon!"
Shimatomo smiled kindly, not surprised at all that this distinguished guest from Kyoto inquired about the history of his family.
Kyoto people are always curious about everything they see. It is said that a Kyoto person went to Tsugaru's Waihama for a field trip to see what Ezo looked like, and even painted a seascape of ice and snow. In short, in the eyes of many people,
Kyoto people are the epitome of idleness, so it is not too strange for the Dao family to meet a nobleman from Kyoto who is idle and bored and go to Pingqun Township to inquire about their family.
Note: According to many people’s understanding, Shima Kiyosuke appeared out of nowhere. In fact, his family’s genealogy is still very clear. In addition, regarding the explanation of the usage of the word “I”, I have explained it in the book review area and in the previous chapter.
If you feel dissatisfied, you can leave a comment and I will reduce the frequency of use in the future.
