Samurai of the Takeda Family

Happy Christmas Eve, Book Friends, Merry Christmas. Everyone, spend time with your girlfriends and future girlfriends, don't spend the day with codewords like me.

The two mountains of the Takeda family can indeed be called that.

After the suppression of the Yukawa Rebellion, in the era of Shintora, the Takeda family, the Anayama family, and the Oyamada family were the largest powers in Kai. Among them, the Takeda family was slightly stronger as Kai's guardian power, the Oyamada family was the second, and the Anyama family was second.

Nobuhiro Koyamada, the grandfather of Nobuhiro Oyamada, stood in the wrong team during the Yukawa Rebellion. He stood on the side of Nobue Yukawa. He was finally attacked and killed by Nobuto Takeda at night.

Later, Oyamada Etchu Shouxin succeeded the Oyamada family clan supervisor and married Takeda Nobuto's sister as his wife, Takeda Shingen married again, and Etchu Shouxin had his sister as his wife, and the Oyamada family officially surrendered Takeda.

And the same is true of the cave mountain family.

As the guardian of Kai, the Takeda family was in the hands of Lord Shinto. After years of battles, through various means such as killing, assassinating, instigating rebellion, cherishing softness, and in-laws, the two mountains of Takeda were subdued.

Finally, in the hands of Takeda Shingen, he became the two big helpers to fight for him in the Shinano country.

Then Yukatsu Sanada said to Li Xiao: "Now that we are to assist His Highness Masaru to bring down His Highness Yoshinobu, first in addition to His Highness Yoshinobu’s internal influence in his own family, we must try to make this family and his backing Imagawa Clan behind His Highness Yoshinobu, two The family's severing of the alliance will inevitably endanger the Kosang-soon three-nation alliance covenant established by Zentoku Temple at that time. In this way, the Takeda family is attached to the Anayama family of the Imagawa family and the Oyamada family of the Hojo family. It is bound to be unwilling to have such a situation, this is the problem."

After a pause, Sanada Kotaka said again: "Master Li Xiao, this family has always been the family elder of the generation, and the ministers have discussed with each other. Although the Gokan-sama has a high authority, they generally do not interfere too much. The decision made by the family members Therefore, once the important matters of the family are decided, it will be judged by the lord after discussion by the elders. Therefore, if the Anayama family and the Oyamada family cannot be persuaded to stand on our side, we must sever the alliance between the family and the Imagawa family. , It’s impossible to talk about overthrowing His Royal Highness Yixin."

After listening to Sanada's analysis, Li Xiao was taken aback, and suddenly realized that he had tried his best to introduce the Anayama family and the Oyamada family to himself for this purpose.

Li Xiao nodded to express his understanding.

However, Yukatsu Sanada also smiled and said: "However, Li Xiao, now that he has become the elder of the family, is really a joy to His Royal Highness Shenglai, which means that you are also eligible to participate in the evaluation. So in the evaluation of the minister. At the meeting, our strength was even stronger."

Li Xiao heard that Yukatsu Sanada said with a smile, "It would be nice to be able to help His Highness Shenglai."

While Li Xiao was talking with Sanada Kotaka while drinking Tusu wine, a close attendant walked up to Li Xiaoyan and said, "Master Tajima Shou, the lord would like to please."

Takeda Shingen's sudden summons surprised Li Xiao.

The last time Takeda Shingen was summoned to discuss the marriage between his son Li Zheng and the Takeda family. After most of the discussion, Takeda Shingen was unwell and did not continue.

Originally, Shingen Takeda would continue to ask Li Xiao about the military strategy of Yuezhong and North 6 areas, but it was interrupted because of his physical problems.

Li Xiao guessed that Takeda Shingen summoned him, it may be to continue the unfinished discussion last time, let Li Xiao, who is currently in charge of the Etchu Hida offensive instead of Baba Shinbo, elaborate on the current situation of Shimokita 6 in order to decide the next year for Takeda Shingen. Take the strategy of the Takeda family as a reference.

Tomorrow will be our family’s annual assessment of the elders. Takeda’s strategic decision, strategic direction, and decision on diplomatic orientation during the eight years of Yonglu’s stay must be discussed at tomorrow’s elder assessment meeting.

Only in this way can it be clear to the Takeda family that in the eight years of Yonglu, the Takeda family will carry out those plans and set goals for everyone.

Li Xiao followed the attendant to Takeda Shingen's residence.

Takeda Shingen's residence is in a relatively quiet position in the main building. Although it is New Year's Day, the surrounding vigilance has not slackened at all.

Li Xiao could clearly feel that along the way, Okini, who was in charge of Xinxuan's safety, placed a lot of light and dark whistles.

Li Xiao walked to the front of the room, and there happened to be a beautiful woman in her kimono, who was in her 30s, who was slowly closing the sliding door of the room.

This person should be dressed as Takeda Shingen's wife and concubine, estimated to be one of Mrs. Nizu or Mrs. Yukawa based on his age.

Li Xiao bowed and bowed to the other party very kindly, and the woman smiled slightly when she saw Li Xiao, and said to Li Xiao: "This is Li Xiao, Lord Ma Shou, my concubine is fortunate to see. I am the lord's lord. You Chuan in the side chamber."

Li Xiao's heart shuddered. It turned out to be Mrs. Yuchuan, the future mother-in-law of Li Zheng.

Li Xiao didn't dare to neglect at the moment, and said: "It turned out to be Mrs. Yuchuan, and it is Li Xiao underneath."

Mrs. Yuchuan smiled gently at Li Xiao, and said, "Master Li Xiao, please don't be polite. We will be a family in the future. I will ask you for your advice in the future."

Li Xiao also said politely: "Where is Mrs. Youchuan, Ju Ji can marry our Li family, this is the lord's love for Li Xiao, and it is also Li Xiao's honor."

Then Mrs. Yuchuan chatted with Li Xiao again and said goodbye immediately.

Li Xiaoshu took a sigh of relief. Judging from Mrs. Yuchuan's appearance, she was very beautiful, so her girl Ju Ji would not be bad. If her personality is also like her, she will get along well with Li Zheng in the future.

"Master Li Xiao, the Lord justice is waiting for you."

As Takeda Shingen reminded him from the side, Li Xiaocai recovered, took off his shoes, handed over the samurai sword, and walked towards Takeda Shingen's room.

Li Xiao walked into the Takeda Shingen room. The furnishings in the room were very simple, all of which were in the style of a monk. On the top of the inner wall, there was a calligraphy and painting with the word ‘Zen’ written on it.

Shingen Takeda himself believed in Tendai sect, and he was deeply influenced by Rinzai sect since childhood.

It can be seen from the government orders issued by Takeda Shingen in his life that he has repaired Buddhist temples many times, and granted land to temples to exempt the temple's annual tribute. It can be seen that his heart in serving the Buddha is very pious.

In these troubled times, Takeda Shingen was a butcher knife in one hand and a chanting of the Warring States name of the Buddha in the other, and such names were not a minority at the time.

In the candlelight in the living room, Li Xiao could clearly see that Takeda Shingen was by the window sill, touching a globe with his fingers, gently fiddled with it.

Li Xiao knew that this was a gift from Father Torres, the Portuguese missionary he brought with him, when he visited Takeda Shingen.

Shingen Takeda seemed to be thinking about something, and was so absorbed that he didn't notice when Li Xiao arrived. Li Xiao and Shingen Takeda didn't make a sound when they approached him, just waiting on the side.

When the candlelight on the window sill puffed, Shingen Takeda recovered from his contemplation.

Shingen Takeda turned around and saw Li Xiao who was waiting beside him. He smiled and said, "Thinking about things has gone into my mind."

After speaking, Shingen Takeda stepped back and waved his hand, knelt down and walked out of the bedroom, kneeling again in front of the bedroom door, slowly pushing the paper sliding door upward.

After exiting sideways, Shingen Takeda picked up the globe in his hand and said to Li Xiao: "Li Xiao, do you believe that the land where we are, as the Nanban propaganda teacher said, is really round?"

Li Xiao cried out and said respectfully: "Yes, I believe it, and most of us in Ming country believe it."

Takeda Shingen asked in astonishment: "Oh? Don't you Ming people always say that the sky is round?"

Li Xiaowei smiled and said: "This is the past, and we have realized it now, but the Nanbans are more powerful. Among them is Columbus. He led a fleet to sail around the earth where we are."

Shingen Takeda nodded and said, "I understand. Although I don't understand this, I believe in the judgment of the missionary teacher and your Li Xiao. What you said is correct."

After speaking, Takeda Shingen gently fiddled with the globe, then pointed to the location of Japan on the earth, and said to Li Xiaoyan: "Zhuangzi once said that there is a fish in the North Ming and its name is Kun, and Kun is not known for thousands of miles. On the Internet, I heard Master Qi Xiu Yuanbo tell this story, but at the time I didn’t believe in a big bird like Kun. But when I saw this globe today, I just learned that it’s not that there is no such a big bird as Kun, I'm just limited by My own insight is small, and my short-sightedness cannot see things."

After a pause, Shingen Takeda changed his tone and said: "Li Xiao, as the ancient story says, the gods created the eight continents of Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, Awaji, Kiki, Tsushima, Suki, and Sado, and then the grandson descended. It settled the disputes in various places and ruled the continents on behalf of the gods. It was Emperor Shenwu. Therefore, we often use the word Tianxia to refer to the place where we live. And those with a little knowledge only know that there are Ryukyu, Goryeo, and Ming in the world. China, Luzon, Nanban and many other countries."

"But seeing this globe, I only knew the smallness of the place we live in, and the shortness of knowledge. Japan lives in the real world, but it is a small place, and we have always thought that the country of great things is huge, but it is only This is the palm of the hand. There are still civilizations in the world, such as the missionary Torres I saw before. I remember that firearms like iron cannons were introduced by them."

Li Xiao listened to Takeda Shingen's emotions. From the perspective of modern people, he has already accepted the concept of the world and understood where he lives on the earth, so he will not be blindly arrogant.

But in ancient times, every dynasty, in order to propagate imperial power and worship, each country had its own standard thinking.

This first originated in China, and later North Korea, Vietnam, and Japan all have this thinking. After Vietnam became independent in history, the king of Vietnam once called his country the Southern Dynasty, and the Ming Kingdom in the North was called the Northern Dynasty, and the two were side by side.

Li Xiao asked: "Lord, why are you so emotional?"

Shingen Takeda put the globe down and said: "Although you are a Ming countryman, Li Xiao, you have seen people well. Talking with you is always what I have. I was thinking, I have been fighting for half my life in Shingen, and I am now fifty-five years old. So far, the area under the jurisdiction of Japan is only the two countries of Kai-Shinano, the 66 countries of Japan. Not to mention the reunification of the 66 countries, even if the Shangluo great cause is still alive, it may not be completed, let alone the experience of North Korea, the terroir of Ryukyu, and the vastness of the world. It’s really a pity that I can’t see it when I hear it. That’s why I sigh with emotion.”

Li Xiao nodded when he heard this, how does Takeda Shingen say, sitting on the well and watching the sky also has the happiness of sitting on the well and watching the sky?

Li Xiao wanted to say a few words to comfort Takeda Shingen, but then he thought that his identity was wrong, and that such words shouldn't have been said by a courtier.

At the moment, Li Xiao can only say: "The lord is worried too much."

Takeda Shingen sighed for a while, and returned to his previous form. His eyes revealed a firm look, and he said, "It was just a momentary statement from Shingen. No matter how the world changes and how things develop, I can’t shake my Shingen right now. Determination, life has only been contended for decades. If a man cannot fulfill his ambition, he will die on the road to fulfill his ambition. Therefore, in my eyes, Yoshimoto is by no means a loser."

After speaking, Takeda Shingen drew out the samurai sword hanging in the house, pointed it at the globe and slashed it, and the globe was instantly turned into two halves.

When I approached the side outside the house, when I heard about the sword coming from the house, I suddenly thought it was different.

Several samurai rushed into Shingen's room, but they were repelled loudly by Takeda Shingen.

Shingen Takeda put the sword away again and said, "Since I can't see the vastness of the world, this globe is meaningless to me Shingen, so I don't need to keep it anymore."

Hearing this, Li Xiao nodded, and wondered where he thought, even if you don't use it, you can give it to me, it's a waste.

However, Li Xiao still echoed Takeda Shingen's words.

Then Takeda Shingen sat cross-legged in front of Li Xiao again, drew a folding fan from his side and shook it in his hand, then said to Li Xiao: "Li Xiao, I Shingen has always admired you, so I only say this to you. Say."

Li Xiao nodded, and said: "The minister must listen carefully."

Takeda Shingen sternly said: "The ambition of Shingen in my life lies in Shangluo. Shangluo's purpose is to replace the shogunate and complete my ancestor of Takeda, Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu, and become the pillar of the Gen clan in Hanoi again, and then take charge of the world's martial arts family. This is not only I am Shingen alone, but the ambition of my ancestors in Kai Takeda."

Li Xiao has recently heard of this story in the Takeda family~www.wuxiamtl.com~The source of the Kamakura Shogunate, the source of the Kamakura Shogun, the Ashikaga Takashi, the general who founded the two generations of the Shogunate, is historically the source of Yawataro. The descendants of the righteous family.

The Genyi family itself is a direct stream of the Gen clan in Hanoi. Later, in the first nine years of the battle and the second three years, he suppressed the rebellion in the Kanto region, and obtained the allegiance of the Kanto warriors. Since then, he has become the leader of the world martial arts family.

As the younger brother of the Genji family, Silla Saburo Gen Yoshimitsu, after the death of his elder brother, also replaced the leader of the Genji family in Hanoi and became the leader of the samurai family, but he was unsuccessful in the end.

Therefore, as a descendant of Gen Yoshimitsu, the Takeda family naturally has the ambition to regain the shogunate for their ancestors.

Li Xiao was also moved to wait for Takeda Shingen to confess his ambitions so much that he said: "The minister will decide to be the lord to fulfill this ambition."

ps: Historically, Ieyasu Tokugawa changed the Miao character from Matsudaira to Tokugawa, in order to recognize Nitta Yoshisada as the ancestor, and Nitta Yoshisada was also a descendant of the Genyoshi family. In the end, Ieyasu Tokugawa created the Edo Shogunate with this identity. He became the pillar of the Gen clan in Hanoi and the leader of the martial arts family. . ..
