That night, Yoshihiro and his party crossed the Yamada River and temporarily settled in a small temple affiliated with Zuisen Temple for a few days.
When they arrived, Yiyin couldn't help but be stunned.
The nuns at Ruiquan Temple are so bold that they dare to take in outsiders at the stalls in Fengguo.
These are more than sixty Ji warriors. Wherever they are placed, they can overturn the combat power of a city.
But the nuns of Xiangzong are so upright, and they recognize money but not people. He just squeezed out a place to stay in the temple headed by Xiangzong Ruiquan Temple.
The temple has a very high status in the clan territory, which eliminates the possibility of harassment by outsiders, and is also the center of power.
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The nuns of the Wu family are no match for the Wu family, and Xiang Zong's consistent advice cannot shake the overall situation of the Wu family society.
The leaders of Yikui have formed their own forces, and the nuns are only interested in profit. The grassroots are worse than the Wu family.
No matter how unreliable the martial artist is, they still know the principle of being rewarded by the public. They are greedy for profit, but they never abandon martial arts. Going out to kill people is a basic skill.
But these fat nuns who use religion to win over believers only know how to act arrogantly and do good deeds, so they are no fodder for war.
He had dinner and walked around the courtyard. He happened to meet Izumi Nobutsuna doing evening classes and watched with interest for a while.
After she finished her lesson and bowed, the two of them chatted for a while.
Yiyin asked.
"Kamiizumi Sword Master came to Kanto with me because I wanted to return to my homeland of Ueno Country. I had someone to take care of me on the way.
The troubles that His Highness Uesugi and I are encountering now have nothing to do with you, so why stay and work together? "
Ueizumi Nobutsuna said with a smile.
"Gong Qianxin asked, I can't say some polite and hypocritical words to deal with you.
I stayed because of the new Yinliu. "
Yiyin was dumbfounded.
"Are you doing it for His Majesty's promise to open the library and teach?
She can't even predict the outcome of this trip herself. You are too stubborn about it. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it mean that he would lose his life? "
Kamizumi Nobutsuna said with a wry smile.
"Mr. Qianxin is not a swordsman, so he doesn't know how difficult the art of swordsmanship is.
To open a kennel in a certain place, one must first please the local martial arts masters and participate in swordsmanship competitions. Only then will the winners have the opportunity to open a kennel to teach and promote their own swordsmanship.
In the bitter cold of Kanto, the swordsman's swordsmanship may not be superb, but he is really not afraid of death and is willing to fight for the survival of his sect.
My three disciples are indeed good at swordsmanship, but the local competition is different from the shogun's sword room and is extremely cruel. They may not be able to benefit from the Echigo swordsman.
Now that His Highness Shangshan is in danger, it is also a good opportunity for me to have a new Yinliu.
As long as I help her get through this disaster, the relationship between the two parties will be different. The Shinin-ryu will finally gain a firm foothold in Echigo, and I can return home with peace of mind. "
Yiyin nodded.
Ueizumi Nobutsuna was indeed honest. She devoted her life to the Shinin-ryu and hoped that the kendo she created would be passed down. She was willing to lose her life for this.
he praised.
"How magnificent, Sword Master Shangquan."
Kamizumi Nobutsuna smiled and said.
“I am a member of the Ueno samurai family, and I also fought in battle when I was young.
Echigo is a great opportunity for my new Yin-ryu. Even if I die here, I don't want to miss it.
It's not far from Ueno Country. Even if my physical body is gone, my soul can still find its way home. "
With her bold words, Yiyin's affection for her increased sharply, but she was a little confused and asked.
"Kanto Kingdoms, why do you value Echigo so much?"
Kamizumi Nobutsuna glanced at the confused Yoshigami and explained.
"Ken Shin-gong is not familiar with Kanto, and Echigo is a very important place in Kanto.
Among the plains in the Kanto region, the Sendai Plain in Mutsu Province is the largest, but the Northeast is bitterly cold and backward, causing problems with harvests and population, and the samurai families are numerous and scattered.
Next is the Kanto Plain. I am from Ueno, and Ueno is part of the Kanto Plain.
Outsiders often say that the Guandong Plain is vast and rich, and if you know it, you can conquer the world.
In fact, there have been years of war and water conservancy facilities have collapsed. Musashi Country is the most flood-stricken, so it is not as good as it is said.
The Echigo Plain is not as big as the first two, but it is certainly not small.
Just because the Echigo Mountains block the cold current from the sea, the winter in Echigo is cold and snowy. After the snow melts in spring, it becomes muddy and difficult to cultivate.
All three plains have their advantages and disadvantages, but their strength is first in the Kanto Plains and second in Echigo. "
Yiyin nodded, thoughtfully.
Ueizumi Nobutsuna is a native of Kanto. Ueno Country, where his family has lived for a long time, is also the heart of Kanto.
Her words gave Yoshigami a deeper understanding of Kanto and why she valued the opportunity given to Shininryu by Terutora Uesugi so much.
Once Teruhora Uesugi completely controls Echigo, his power will expand into the first hegemon in Kanto.
The stone height of the Kanto Plain is higher than that of the Echigo Plain, but there are many daimyo, and the Hojo family is still conquering them.
However, the Echigo Plain was already in the hands of the Nagao family. Nagao Kagetora took back the post of head of the Kanto administration and transformed into Uesugi Teruhora.
With her righteous name in hand, she was certainly confident of integrating Echigo and entering the Kanto Plain to compete with the Hojo family.
Yoshigami gathered his thoughts and continued talking to Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, feeling respect for the sword master in his heart.
She was nearly sixty years old and could have returned to her hometown to spend the rest of her life, but for the sake of the sword in her heart, she was willing to accompany the Shangshan Spo family in Yuezhong to fight for her life.
This old woman is really not simple.
As long as he passed this level, not only would he and Uesugi Teruhora have a war-torn friendship, but Yoshigan would also have to look at the Shinin-ryu in a different light, which she had fought for with her life.
———
Noto Kuni, Noto Hatakeyama Castle, and Nanao Castle Castle Tower.
The important minister Wen Jingzongzada aggressively asked to see the governor Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna and questioned him.
"I heard that the governor received foreign messengers and then sailed out of the harbor. Why did he make his own decision without consulting with the ministers?"
Her attitude was condescending, but Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna seemed to be used to it.
This royal sister has a mature temperament, is calm about honor and disgrace, and has passed the age of youth and irritability.
He said calmly.
"Someone comes here with a letter from the Hatakeyama clan and asks me for a boat. Can't I make the decision on such a small matter?"
Wen Jingzongzhen was suffocated by the traffic jam, Shantou Road.
"I don't mean that. I'm just concerned about the Zong family's orders so that we can discuss things."
Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna said calmly.
"The shogunate's envoy was on his way to Echigo, and he just borrowed a ship to send a message."
Although this matter involves the chaos in Vietnam and China, it is true on the surface and cannot be considered as prevarication.
Wen Jingzongzhen knew that he was being unreasonable and disrespectful, so he lied to the family supervisor several times before leaving in embarrassment.
Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna looked at her back silently, thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of Shiba Yoshigan's goodwill in the letter to the Noto Hatakeyama family.
The Noto Hatakeyama family has a close relationship with the Hatakeyama clan. This branch of the family originated in the era of the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Because Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was dissatisfied with the then governor of the Hatakeyama clan, the governor was forced to give up his throne to his sister.
After the death of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, my sister went to the Fourth Shogun and was willing to return to my sister's position. This was appreciated by Lord Kokata and praised by the world.
The Wu family is greedy, and this kind of good deed of sisters being respectful is rare, so it is natural to write a big book about it.
In order to thank his sister, the governor of the Hatakeyama family transferred the guardianship of Noto Province, one of the four guardianships of the Hatakeyama family, to his sister, and the Noto Hatakeyama family was separated from then on.
The clan family and the branch family have a close relationship and their love is inseparable.
The Noto Hatakeyama family also has considerable influence on Ezhong, the guardian of the Hatakeyama family. When disputes arise between the three guardians of Ezhong, they often seek mediation from the Noto Hatakeyama family.
Within the Noto Hatakeyama family, there are also branch families of Hatakeyama family retainers, such as the Jimbo family and the Yusa family, both of which have branch families in Noto.
Everyone is related, broken bones are connected to tendons, and the relationship is quite complicated.
