Chapter One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty: Emperor Hoguang, Takeda Nobuhiro’s “Buddhist Dharma”
Six days later, in the land above Ezo, the Uyizaki clan lived in the city, Katsuyamakan.
The green smoke rising from the lit pottery stove was like the unpredictable thoughts. The aroma of rosin spread in the interview room, covering up the smell of herbs and the smell of death on the old man's body.
The old Nobhiro Takeda was sitting cross-legged in front of the desk. He was very thin, and the roomy robes of the head of the household on his body were wider than ever before. His face was very old, and he stared at the shining eyes in front of him.
The case was silent and did not speak.
At this moment, a total of twenty-four gold charms weighing one kilogram were spread out on the table. The bright gold was so shining and attractive, and so heavy and thick. They were so heavy on the table.
The table on the table is directly equivalent to the annual income of the Uyizaki family, which is equivalent to more than two thousand kilo of brown rice!
"...?"
Seeing that his father had not spoken for a long time, Mitsuhiro Uyizaki, who was sitting with his head bowed and his head bowed, finally raised his head. His young patience was obviously not as good as that of the veteran Kudo Shigeyasu who was also kneeling and bowing his head next to him. In other words, under the dazzling gold
In the light, his concentration was weakened. At this moment, as if he wanted to prove something, he spoke expectantly.
"Father? This is the harvest from the first trade between me and the Shantao leader! This is a full twenty-four kilograms of gold, which is my family's annual income for a year!"
"Guang Guang."
The old Nobuhiro Takeda raised his head and stared at his young son. He was like an old goshawk, staring into his son's eyes. His eyes were so sharp that Mitsuhiro Uyizaki subconsciously avoided his gaze.
"You were in a hurry to come back and didn't go east to conquer the Ezo people. Just to let me see this gold?..."
"My...father?..."
"Call me Xinguang Gong."
"Yes! Mr. Xinguang!..."
Mitsuhiro Oyizaki's forehead was sweating, he bowed to the ground and then answered softly.
"Buddha bless you! It is not appropriate to carry this gold in the army. So I traveled day and night, together with the elders of the Kudo family, and a few trusted attendants, to quietly transport the gold back. But my army is still stationed in Xiabao
At the foot of Mt. Ezo, led by the Atsuya family elders. Next, the military strategy to conquer Ezo to the east remains unchanged. And I will return to the army again to complete the military strategy of the conquest!…"
"Kudo, how is the military situation in the north?..."
"Master! The military situation in the north is very stable! I personally supervised the construction of the camp at the foot of Mount Ezo-Fuji. It has mountains on its back and water on its back. It is very strong. And the Houtani family is also a prudent veteran, and there will definitely be no mistakes!"
"What's going on with the Mountain Tartar soldiers?..."
"Master, they have already taken a boat to go north. I have scouts watching the Beiyu tribes, but they have never seen any signs of going south. Before we went south, we did not see any contact or collusion between the Beiyu clan and the Xiyuan clan.
"
"Yes. Military strength is the foundation of our family. We must not lose anything."
Takeda Nobuhiro pondered for a while and nodded slightly, not as harshly as before. He looked at his son Mitsuhiro again, still not mentioning gold, but just asked.
"Mitsuhiro, how did you deal with the defeated Ishikari clan?..."
"Father...Xinguang Gong, I sent envoys to appease the hearts of the chiefs and reiterated the alliance between my family and the tribes. I told several chiefs that if the Beiyu clan invaded with Shantao armored soldiers, my family would go to support them.
…Please also ask them to always pay attention to the various ministries in Beiyu and report news to our family in a timely manner!…”
"Not enough. This kind of comfort is not enough."
Takeda Nobuhiro shook his head, stretched out his hand for the first time, and pressed it on the two gold talismans.
"Guangguang, in the previous battle with the Shantaru people... Ishikari's various tribes suffered a lot of losses, at least two hundred warriors were lost. After the Eastern Expedition and the Western Yuan tribe's victory, you can take two pieces of gold talisman supplies to support the heaviest losses.
Several large Ishikari tribes, and reunited with the chiefs of various Ishikari tribes!"
"In addition, the Ishikari clan, which is the most friendly to us, is allowed to send young people from the clan to learn the blacksmith skills they have always wanted, starting from apprentices! And the nephews of various chiefs can also come to the clan to practice martial arts and serve as Guangguang or
He is Yoshihiro's personal attendant."
"Ah? Mr. Nobuhiro, do we want to provide so much support to the Ishikari tribe? After the trade, our family does not have much supplies. And these supplies can be exchanged for gold from the Yamataru tribe... Isn't it a bit too much?...
"
"No. It's not much, and it's not enough."
Takeda Nobuhiro frowned for the first time, as if he was thinking about something difficult to decide. After a while, he took a long breath and gave instructions to his son.
"Guangguang, during the alliance with the Ishikari tribe, you have to tell these chiefs! You want your twelve-year-old second son Gaoguang to be engaged to the daughters of the chiefs! Wait until Gaoguang turns sixteen
After that, a formal wedding will be held to marry into their clan!…”
"What! Father?! Let Takahiro marry the ignorant Eni people instead of marrying the noble samurai family?! This, this is to cut off Takahiro's reputation in the samurai family and cut off his future in the samurai family!...
"
Upon hearing Takeda Nobuhiro's arrangement, Mitsuhiro Uizaki's eyes widened instantly and he shouted in disbelief.
"How can this be possible? He is my second son, one of your direct grandchildren!...This?!..."
"Guangguang! This is my arrangement!"
Takeda Nobuhiro's eyes were sharp and his hair and beard were shaggy. He was like an old lion, staring at his legitimate son. The excited Mitsuhiro Oyezaki's voice stopped and he lowered his head again. The Kudo family elder who had always been silent beside him finally fell to the ground.
After a salute, he opened his mouth to exhort.
"Master, why are you doing this? Let Gao Guang marry Ezo's wife and ruin the future of the Wu family's inheritance. It would be too unfair for the child..."
"call!…"
Nobuhiro Takeda put away his angry expression when he saw the man who had been with him through life and death for more than 40 years speak. He counted his breaths silently and explained in detail, not only to his most trusted man, but also to his son Mitsuhiro who bowed his head.
.
"Kudo, the situation in the northern Ezo land has completely changed with the appearance of the Shantaru people... I don't know what kind of big tribe is hiding behind such a powerful Shantatar armored army, and I don't know what Ante is thinking.
.They have colluded with the Hokuyu clan, have actually intervened in various tribes in Ezo, and have amazing financial resources in their hands... This kind of fog of unknown enemies and unknown purposes really makes it difficult for me to feel at ease and even sleep!
"

It is necessary to strengthen the relationship with the Ishikari tribe. We must not let the other party be easily won over by the unknown Shantao tribe, or even marry and annex it..."
"In the face of such a big situation in our family, Gao Guang's marriage is naturally not up to him, nor to Guang Guang! What's more, it's just an engagement now, and there are still four years of buffering time... In these four years, if the mysterious mountain
The Tartar tribe really has no plans for the Ezo Territory... There is still room for adjustment in Gao Guang's marriage. Otherwise..."
Takeda Nobuhiro made it very clear. This marriage arrangement is the overall situation of the Oyizaki family and is related to the long-term future. Kudo Shigeyasu sighed and could not say anything. Takeda Nobuhiro looked down and said nothing.
The son glanced at him, remained silent for a moment, and then said softly.
"Guangguang, you redeemed the warriors for my family and got back this much gold. This is enough to offset your previous defeat, and it is indeed a great contribution! All the family elders who know about it will see it and recognize you.
Achievements…”
"But the key right now is not the gold obtained from these trades! Mitsuhiro, these golds have confused your mind, making you unable to stabilize your roots and unable to see the overall situation. You cannot clearly see my family and the people in Ezo Land.
Long term future…”
Speaking of this, Takeda Nobuhiro shook his head slightly, a little disappointed with Mitsuhiro Uyizaki's performance. His lifespan was about to end, and the future of the Uyizaki family must be left in the hands of his son Mitsuhiro.
But Mitsuhiro Oyizaki's nature is always so different that he can't escape from the immediate interests and realize the truth from the complicated desires. What a pity! He doesn't live long, and I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up his son...
"Buddha! It's such an unexpected change, but I don't know what kind of fate it is. Is it a sin or a Buddha?..."
The old Nobhiro Takeda sighed and stared at the golden light of the golden talisman. The golden light also shone on him, like a layer of real Buddha light. Then, solemnly, he used the last Buddhist dharma in his life to pay tribute to Mitsuhiro Uizaki.
Enlightenment.
"The Lotus Sutra of Wonderful Dharma systematically states that all sentient beings are greedy and like precious things. But the Emperor of Precious Light knows this and emits precious light to fulfill the wishes of all sentient beings. When the wish is fulfilled, Bodhicitta will arise..."
"Guangguang, this golden light is like precious light, it can fulfill your wishes. But are you going to be a sentient being obsessed with precious light, or are you an enlightened person who emits bodhicitta after fulfilling your vows?..."
"Compared to you, the chief of Shanta who regards gold as nothing is like the Son of Light, who comes to fulfill the wishes of all living beings. But if he is the Son of Sun, the golden light shines all over, and controls the hearts of all tribes in Ezo, even
Controlling your heart...can you possibly hold on to the future of Ezo Land?..."
"So, the key right now is not the golden light or the fulfillment of all living beings' wishes, but the point of the light. We must always find out the origin of this Shantao tribe and their plot! If there is a
The great Bodhisattva from the north is firmly seated on the shrine in Ezo. So, do we, the Uyizaki clan, want this small temple in the south, or do we not want it?…"
