Samurai of the Takeda Family

Kai Country is located in a mountain gorge, surrounded by mountains, and in the center is the Kofu Basin through the two rivers of the Kamogawa River and the Fuefuki River. From Nirasaki to Kamenogawa, heading a little westward, you will reach Takeda’s Main Castle Osakikan.

Because Tsuzakikan is a flat castle, its defense is not high. Later, the Takeda family built a key mountain castle in the north of Tsuzakikan, Yumura mountain castle, a small mountain castle in the south, etc., forming a main city-branch castle Defense system.

　　 Surrounding the castle town and surroundings of Tsugazakikan, Takeda Hachimangu Shrine, Grand Shrine, Misaki Myojin, Nangong Myojin, Wancheng Temple and other buildings were built. Among them, Wancheng Temple is the place where the bones of Takeda Shinyi, the distant ancestor of the Kai Takeda clan, was buried. Inside the temple is a statue of the third Buddha. The tomb of Takeda Shinyi is located at the corner of the main hall of the west field. It is a five-wheeled pagoda with a height of about one meter.

　　The other Takeda Hachimangu Shrine is the shrine where the Takeda family pays homage to Hachiman Daimyoji, the patron saint of the Genji clan, where the two treasures of the Takeda family, the imperial flag and the unarmored shield, are placed. The successive Patriarchs of the Takeda family, including Shingen Takeda, must swear an oath in the Takeda Hachimangu Shrine to the Royal Flag and Shield before they can be appointed as the Patriarch of the Takeda Family.

At this moment, in the Honmarunouchi of the Tsugazakikan, Takeda Yoshinobu, who has just returned to his residence from Shirane Mountain, is defending with Katsusuke Obebe, Gengoro Nagasaka, Shuneshu, and several princes from Kyoto who have laid out in the courtyard. Sitting on the blanket, kneeling on it, while drinking, watching the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

　　 Several fellow friends performed some funny dances in the courtyard.

　　 And Takeda Yoshinobu just smiled reservedly about this, and then he talked about the elegant culture of Kyoto in a serious manner with a few princes who had one, two, and nine characters.

　　 Since Takeda Yoshinobu’s mother, Mrs. Sanjo, was born in Kyoto, she married in a remote place like Kai when she was a young man, and she has always had grievances in her heart. Although Shingen Takeda was the son of Nobutora Takeda, a dignified nation, and he will inherit the role of guardian of Kai in the future. But for Mrs. Sanjo, marrying Takeda Shingen is still condescending to marry.

　　Later, Mrs. Sanjo gave birth to his son, Takeda Yoshinobu, and she often babbled in front of him about how our Sanjo family was in Kyoto, so Takeda Yoshinobu has also longed for life in Kyoto since he was a child.

　　 In fact, since the Onin Rebellion, the Japanese government has long since fallen, and many former arrogant public officials are down to the point where they can't even eat enough.

The emperor can still sell officials to cheat to eat and drink (friends who play Taige 5 will know, the emperor’s method of making money is really awkward), and most of the emperor’s ministers can only make money by selling their daughters, hoping to rely on the original Noble blood married to a daimyo's house, cheating some gifts and money to make ends meet.

　　 The unhelpful Gongqing found his own way, condescending and wandering to the homes of the big names, hoping to have a meal under the big names with his identity in the past. At that time, there were indeed big names who yearned for life in Kyoto and were willing to accept them. For example, Imagawa Yoshimoto, Ouchi Yoshitaka, Asakura Yoshiki and other warring statesmen were all admirers of Kyoto government culture at that time.

　　 Takeda Yoshinobu's princes are also the same, don’t look at them dressed as princes, wearing straight clothes, with cicada eyebrows on their foreheads, black paste on their teeth, powder on their faces, and Kyoto with open mouths and mouths.

　　 In fact, besides this outfit, they also have the so-called noble blood. They are so poor that they don't even have the money to eat a meal. They can only hope to get some money to eat and drink at Takeda Yoshinobu.

　　 But Takeda Yoshinobu is very respectful to them, hoping that he can win the reputation of a erudite, courteous and courteous corporal in their mouths. However, Shingen Takeda, the head of the Takeda family, has always taken a sneer at this kind of Gongqing culture.

Because of his father, Takeda Yoshinobu still pretends to be a martial artist, but now Takeda Shingen is still recuperating in Shima Hot Springs, so Takeda Yoshinobu can relax a bit and apply powder on his face. The teeth were stained with black paste, and then I drank with the princesses from Kyoto, even Waka.

Takeda Yoshinobu drank some wine, let go of his appearance, and said in a pitiful manner to Akira Tobe: "What a beautiful cherry blossom, what a good wine, doing this to Liange, a good and easy life does not know how to enjoy it, father My lord, I just want to fight everywhere. My Takeda family already has 600,000 shi from Shinano and Kai and two countries. Why is my father still not satisfied and sent me to fight everywhere?"

　　As a slanderer, Masabe Takabe must naturally follow the instructions of the master. Saibe Katsuji said: "Yes. The son will inherit the Takeda family business in the future. He should govern the Quartet and comfort the people. How can he use his swords and soldiers lightly. There is a proverb in the Ming country that the son of a daughter can't sit down."

Takeda Yoshinobu nodded and said, "That's good, but you understand my thoughts. It's a pity that I can't tell my father about this. The battlefield is fierce, and Shiro is just having bad luck this time. What a pity. "

　　 Katsushige Tsube smiled, and said: "For the son, maybe this is not a bad thing, maybe."

Takeda Yoshinobu glanced, the expressions of the public officials sitting nearby, shook their heads, and said in a very heartbroken manner: "Shiro is my brother. He is related to me by blood and love. He died. Under Shirane Mountain, I am also very sad~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Just after speaking, Takeda Yoshinobu put on a very heavy and sorrowful expression, and the public servants on the side hurriedly spoke to comfort him, saying something to tell him not to be brotherly. It’s too sad, people die like a lamp, and the future is still beautiful. Everything has to look forward and so on. After everyone’s persuasion, Takeda Yoshinobu managed to ease the emotion of “grief” with great ease and renewed it. Drink and sing with the officials.

　　 When the atmosphere was very enthusiastic again, a samurai came to the courtyard and reported to Takeda Yoshinobu: "His Royal Highness, His Highness Shiro has led his army back to Tsugazakikan."

　　 Hearing the news, Takeda Yoshinobu suddenly stood up, the wine bottle in front of him rolled to the ground, and he trembled and said, "What? Shiro is not dead?"

　　 "Yes, not only that, His Royal Highness Shiro is still Ueno coalition forces after a big break under Shirane Mountain."

Atobe Katsushige rushed forward quickly, picking up the samurai who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted: "Impossible, Uesugi Teruto is a world-famous general, and victory depends on how he resists his eight thousand army with eight hundred people. , It’s definitely a rumor!” “But it’s true that His Royal Highness Katsurai’s crew is about to arrive at Tsugazakikan now.”

Hearing the news, Takeda Yoshinobu stiffened, and said in a blank tone: "How is it possible, how is this possible, how is it possible for Shenglai to get out of the front of Uesugi Teruhu, and also defeat the Echigo army, so my protagonist is not Is it dangerous?"

　　 Takeda Yoshinobu said so, the public officials all around bowed their heads, looking at their noses and noses, showing that they hadn't heard anything.

　　 Takeda Yoshinobu was stunned for a while, and then asked, "Master, do you know the news?"

　　 "Yes, someone has rode a fast horse and went to Shima Hot Spring to report to the lord."

　　 Hearing the news, Takeda Yoshinobu felt that the whole person was going to collapse.
