Tachibana Michiyuki, who died at the foot of Tachibana Castle, was over seventy years old. In his sixtieth year, he got a daughter, Tachibana Kotochiyo. Kotochiyo is sixteen years old this year, and the Tachibana family really regards her as the apple of their eyes. When she was seven years old, Tachibana Michiko was born at that time.
She fell ill and insisted on giving up the position of head of the family, and she became the governor of the Tachibana family. This was a rare example in Japan's Warring States Period - extremely rare in the entire Confucian cultural circle.
Later, Tachibana Michizuki recovered from his illness, but he did not take back the position of family governor. Since Takahashi Shoun and Tachibana Michizuki had the same status in the Otomo family, and the eldest son was similar in age to Kotochiyo, Tachibana Michizuki thought that after his death, he could have two famous families.
In order to protect the Otomo family, he first begged and then begged Takahashi Shoun to bring his eldest son Takahashi Tonghu into the Tachibana family.
Takahashi Shoun was also a man of magnanimity and great love and righteousness. He was moved by Tachibana Michyuki's loyalty to the Otomo family and finally agreed.
So when Enchiyo was thirteen years old, Takahashi Totora entered the Tachibana family and married Tachibana Enchiyo. Takahashi Totora was born with a huge body, and when he grew up, he was extremely powerful. At the age of twelve, he went out to fight and suppressed dragons in single combat.
Horie Bizen, the great temple builder, was called "the Unparalleled One of the Western Kingdom" by Kyushu people in later generations.
This time, Tachibana Michiyuki was trapped in the military formation and gave his life for the Otomo family. The entire Tachibanayama Castle fell into grief, and Tachibana Chiyo was even more heartbroken. In order to comfort his wife, Takahashi Nobutora also wanted to comfort Tachibana Michiyuki.
In the spirit of the sky, he asked Otomo Sorin to preside over the ceremony the next day, and changed his name to Tachibana Munashige, expressing his determination to coexist with Tachibana Castle.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Otomo family were desperate, the Ming army and the Shimazu family did not attack the city with ants, but slowly used big guns to amuse themselves. The morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city also gradually declined from the same hatred of the enemy. After the city gate was broken, the desperate
The atmosphere enveloped the entire mountain city.
Tachibana Genchiyo requested Miao to be sent as an envoy. Both Takahashi Shoun and Tachibana Muneshige and his son knew that he had a death wish, or that he had the intention of assassinating Ling Yunyi or Shimazu Yoshihisa to avenge his father. Otomo Sorin could not bear to have Tachibana Michizuki's only flesh and blood.
I am firmly opposed to sacrificing myself for the Dayou family again.
Tachibana asked Chiyo to lay her ribs across her neck and beg her to die. Tachibana Munesege knew that although his wife was young, she had a strong character, so he had no choice but to agree.
So, on the morning of the eighth day of the tenth lunar month, Tachibana Gonchiyo, dressed in white, went out of the city to see Ling Yunyi. Otomo Sorin watched him go away at Tachibanayama Castle Castle, with tears streaming down his clothes, he composed a haiku saying: "Please see this white plum in full bloom."
Let go, like the beauty of a standing flower, which will never be erased; this body will leave and never return, like the breeze crossing the water, the heart will return to silence."
Japan also had its literary talents during the Warring States Period. Daimyos, military commanders, hermits and even ronin often wrote poems to express their moods. For example, the last poem Oda Nobunaga recited at Honnoji Temple was "Fifty Years in the World": "Fifty years in life,
Like a dream or an illusion, how can a person who is alive once be immortal?"
What Sorin Otomo wrote for Chiyo Tachibana can be regarded as another literary style "haiku". It is a long and short sentence developed in Japan from Chinese poetry in the fifteenth century, which is similar to Chinese poetry. Later French writer Andre Bellecha
I call haiku "a poem that spreads gleaming light and trembling", and I highly admire the artistic conception expressed in this style of writing.
Yan Qiandai came down from the city in fluttering white clothes. The Ming army asked Ling Yunyi in front of the formation, saying that he was the envoy for peace. When Shimazu Yoshihisa heard about it, he said to Ling Yunyi: "This is the daughter of Tachibana Michyuki, Tachibana Yan Qianyo.
This girl is the most beautiful girl in Kyushu. We call her 'Chizen White Plum'. Not only is she good-looking, but she is also extremely powerful - you must be on your guard, lest she comes to avenge your father."
When Ling Yunyi heard about it, he looked around first, then frowned and said: "The so-called stunning beauty is nothing more than a skin bag. In front of the two armies, they used sex to show off my heart. Dayou Zonglin is really a weapon in the fight - Zhang Shichen, arranged
They searched it carefully and then brought it into the tent."
The governor also knew that after receiving the order, deputy commander Zhang Yuanxun's mouth twitched and he scratched his head after leaving the commander's tent. There were no women in the army, so asking the soldiers to search Yan Qiandai went against his principles. Moreover, he treated Ling Yun
Tsubasa knew very well how she could get away with the fat meat that was delivered to her door. If the commander kept the "Chizen White Plum", it would be inconvenient for him to search it afterward.
Just when his face was full of sorrow, Li Rusong came out of the tent and said: "Brother Shichen, how about I do the work for you?"
Zhang Yuanxun is much older than Li Rusong. When he was young, he followed Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others to fight against the Japanese and made countless achievements. But this time when the imperial court sent troops to Japan, his position was below Li Rusong, and he always had a vague feeling for Ning Yuanbo's eldest son.
No grudge.
At this moment, although I saw that he was smiling without any seriousness, I was overjoyed and said to myself: "Your father is Uncle Ning Yuan. You can do whatever you want, Marshal Ling can't do anything to you." He bent down and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your understanding.
!" After saying that, for fear that Li Rusong would regret it, he turned around and disappeared.
When Li Rusong saw him bowing to the title of general soldier for the first time in non-military duties, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He thought the old man was quite cute. After smiling, his face turned serious, and he entered Yan Qiandai's temporary tent and shouted: "Take off!"
"
.......
After Li Rusong finished the inspection, Yan Qiandai entered Ling Yunyi's tent with red eyes, calling himself "Imperial Envoy" and bowing to the ground. Ling Yunyi heard that she spoke fluent Chinese and asked her to raise her head. At the first sight, she was really taken over by Shimazu Yoshihisa.
The people on the side were crying secretly, fearing that the evil spirit would give You Zonglin a chance to survive.
The imperial envoy asked: "Is there anyone in Dayou's family? Are you sending your daughter here?"
Kotochiyo replied: "Although I am a female, I am also a military commander. At the age of twelve, I commanded the family's iron artillery team. I fought against the Shimazu family in the Battle of Ogawa, so I was named Tachibana Hayashi-na."
"Because I saw that your entire army's iron cannons are so powerful that they are unparalleled, Yan Qiandai was very happy to see you. I beg my master to allow me to come here and see the commander in charge of an unparalleled army in the world."
Ling Yunyi saw that although her appearance was picturesque, her words were neither humble nor arrogant, and she had a heroic spirit. He also admired her in his heart. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "I sent the emperor to Japan, and my emperor thought that Japan was conquered by Taizu.
The country has no intention to compete with the great names of various places. Otherwise, with the might of our Ming army, we can sweep across the archipelago in a matter of seconds."
Listening to what he said, Tachibana Kanchiyo felt a mountain-like shadow pressing down on her head, and her heart was pounding. She lay prone on the ground and listened to Ling Yunyi continue to say:
"Because the lord of your family deceived me with big words and could not truthfully explain that his younger brother succeeded the family governor, this turmoil occurred - it was not my intention. Your father is trapped in the battle, and I am also sympathetic. Originally, the world
Peace, why is there such a turmoil!"
Tachibana Chanyo listened to him talking about Tachibana Michio, her eyes were red, and a tear came out of her eyes. Ling Yunyi said again: "Your father's head, when you go back later, take it back and bury it properly. Alas, a hero of a generation, meet
It’s a pity that this foolish master is so stupid.”
Tachibana Yanchiyo fell down again and thanked Ling Yunyi. He said in a low voice: "I am not here for my father's head, but for my own ambition."
"When my father was seventy years old, he upheld the principle of 'loyalty and filial piety' and sacrificed his life for the Lord, as he should have done according to his duty. He had no other ambitions in this life. He only hoped that Dayou's family could maintain the family name. Now he has dedicated his life to this principle.
Life, I think that my father would rather save Dayou's family from this difficulty than getting his head back."
When Shimazu Yoshihisa heard the touching words Chiyo said, he was afraid that Ling Yunyi would be swayed, so he couldn't help but said: "Otomo Sorin is a fish in the bottom of the cauldron, and the imperial envoy can take it lightly with a flip of his hand. You said Tachibana Michyuki's 'giri'
Although it is pitiable, the imperial envoy also has his own 'righteousness'!"
"Although I am a female, I have heard that loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness are the foundation of the world in China. Mr. Shicai said that His Majesty the Emperor did not order the imperial envoy to conquer Japan, so how could he violate the principles of justice? Although Lord Otomo offended the emperor,
, But because of the loyalty and filial piety of Qiandai, I dare to ask you to raise your noble hand so that I can keep my family name. Everyone in your family will tie grass rings to repay your kindness."
Fearing that Shimazu would interrupt him again, Enchiyo quickly spoke out the words that finally made him firm up his determination: "Although I have the appearance of a willow, I also have a certain color - if you show mercy to Otomo's family, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life."
Sir." After saying this, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he fell to the ground, sobbing softly.
Shimazu Yoshihisa secretly scolded Otomo Sorin for being disgusting, saying, "Chizen Hakumei," this time, she really used a honey trick on the imperial envoy, which is a shame for Kyushu. He looked at Ling Yunyi eagerly, and almost gave up hope for his integrity -
-At the same time, there was still a little hope in my heart, hoping that he would eat the sugar coating, but the big barrel bomb that hit Otomo Zonglin was still fired.
After hearing what Yan Qianyo said, Ling Yunyi raised his head and glanced at Li Rusong. Li Rusong had a smile on his lips and nodded slightly, indicating that the woman was not in danger. Ling Yunyi pondered for a moment before speaking, when he suddenly heard someone coming in from outside the big tent.
The person who received the money was Huang Zhongzhuo, who had joined the army. He held several sheets of writing paper. After seeing the ceremony, he said: "Commander, the King of Japan has issued a proclamation, and I have copied it here."
Ling Yunyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Hand it over."
When I took the paper passed by the soldier and read it, it read: "I have heard that the three kings established the pole and the five emperors of Zen. Only China has a master, how can there be islands without a king? The universe is vast and cannot be the sole authority of one master; the universe is vast
Hong, we have made various states and defended them separately. We live in a distant and weak land, a relatively small country, with less than sixty cities and less than three thousand territories, but we still have the heart of contentment, so those who are content will always be content."
"Today, the Lord of China, the King of Ten Thousand Chariots, has thousands of cities and more than tens of millions of miles of territory, but he still has a heart of inadequacy, and always has the most sincere intention. The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars change places; the earth sends murderous intentions, and the dragon
Snakes rise from the ground; people send out murderous intentions, and the heaven and the earth are repeated. Of course, the Ming Dynasty has a strategy to start a war, and the small country also has a plan to defend itself against the enemy!"
"Japanese legal and cultural relics are half imitated by the Chinese. At that time, people looked up to the country as if they were in heaven, and sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to look at each other on the road. In the Tang Dynasty, the envoys were extinct, and the monks who traveled high and low were still diligent and diligent. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, they also sent
The envoy replied. The founder of the Yuan Dynasty was very ambitious and wanted to conquer the country. Fan Wenhu commanded a fleet of 100,000 men. The boat was capsized by a hurricane, and only three of them returned. With the might of the Yuan Dynasty, the country was destroyed for fifty years. The wind and waves were rising, but they could not overcome it.
To play the skin skill, God will do it."
"The imperial envoys, who are flying in the clouds, gathered generals of tigers and wolves, and raised up all-out troops to invade our territory, a land of water and soil, a continent of mountains and seas. They use water to roll up the earth, and when they arrive, the troops come to greet them. How can they kneel down and serve us? Is that obedient?
If you go against it, you may not live, and if you go against it, you may die. If we meet in the mountains and seas, we can play games. Although Japan is weak, what should we fear?"
"Since the founding of Japan, the territory has remained the same as before. According to Shenwu, the world is a paradise, what a beautiful country! I order all the warriors in the world to follow the orders of Hideyoshi Hideyoshi, wear armor, travel through mountains and rivers, brave the wind and rain, attack cities and form formations to fight against the Ming Dynasty!
Let’s see who owns the world in Japan today!”
"This is to inform the world, and the envoys of Xian will hear it." [Note 1]
