There were actually not many people in Tianya Castle. Apart from the hundred ashigaru brought from Sakata County, there were only the retainers of the Kyogoku family.
Peasants and soldiers who were mobilized during the war would naturally be released back home after the battle. For example, the Numata family's ashigaru were already settled in Kaizu Castle.
"The territory has been initially determined. Are there still many hidden dangers? And there have been incidents from time to time in recent days, so everyone must be more vigilant." The person in charge of duty tonight was Kuchiki Takazuna. For Kyogoku Takamasa, a talented person, Kuchiki Takazuna was full of gratitude. .
Although Takatsuna Kuchiki was born as a samurai, he was not treated equally by his colleagues either in Kuchiki Valley or at the previous new dealer.
Some only have cold looks and humiliation.
And since joining the Kyogoku family, whether it is Kyogoku Takamasa or Akao Kiyosuna and others, not to mention how much they respect Kuchiki Takatsuna, but at least Kuchiki Takatsuna no longer hears sarcasm and ridicule.
For Kuchiki Takazuna, this is actually enough.
Patrols are more intensive at night than during the day. A group of ten ashigaru take turns patrolling the city, and another ten ashigaru guard the Tatemon and Otemon.
The five Yamaoka Inuhachiro lowered their heads and walked slowly along the wall of Honmaru under the cover of night. The patrolling ashigaru that appeared from time to time made several people feel nervous. Fortunately, most of these patrols in Ashigaru were just decorations, so everything was still safe.
"Going around the tiger's mouth in front is Ninomaru, but there are two ashigaru guarding there, which is a problem." The short ninja who was previously responsible for inquiring about the situation in the city whispered at this time.
Yamaoka Inuhachiro half-squinted his eyes, "Let me get rid of these two Ashigaru"
"No"
"The patrolling Ashigaru will pass by this place every dozens of breaths, and will definitely raise a warning if something unusual is discovered. Such a task will be difficult."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Yamaoka Inuhachiro picked up a wooden stick on the ground and held it in his mouth, holding his head in his hands and looking up at the stars.
The night is so beautiful.
Yamaoka Inuhachiro sighed inwardly.
"Climb over the wall from the connection between Ninomaru and Honmaru, and then follow the walls of Ninomaru to bypass the guarded Ashigaru." The short ninja pointed to the wall behind the few people and said.
Although Tianwu City is a mountain city, it is small in scale and extremely poorly built.
Except for the main wall, which is made of stones, the rest of the Ninomaru, Dejo, and Kurun are built with rammed earth as the foundation and then surrounded by wooden boards.
If you turn over to the other side of the board, you can naturally sneak into Ninomaru silently.
"You lead the way."
"Everyone, be careful and don't make any noise."
Coming out of the Kaijin-den room, Kyogoku Gaomasa's body was stiff.
Since the last time he and the young major general had done what they loved, it had been several months since they had tasted fishy food. It was impossible for Kyogoku Takamasa not to think about it. What's more, I was forcibly seduced by Kai Jindian just now. How could Kyogoku Gaozheng not be moved?
But having already come out, there is no reason to go back. Kyogoku Takamasa still wants to save face.
I had nothing to do, so I had to wander around the city to calm down my restless heart again.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.
"grown ups"
Walking to the mouth of Ninomaru, the two drowsy guard Ashigaru quickly cheered up when they saw Kyogoku Takamasa coming.
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"ha"
After a few symbolic words of comfort, Kyogoku Takamasa was about to leave, but suddenly heard something.
"Did you two hear anything?" Kyogoku Takamasa turned his head and looked at the two ashigaru.
The two ashigaru were stunned for a moment, then quickly shook their heads like rattles.
"There is obviously a sound. Come over and take a look." Kyogoku Takamasa pointed at the tiger's mouth in the honmaru.
One of the ashigaru hurriedly turned around and ran over, and ran back after a while, "Come back to my lord, there is nothing."
"Maybe I heard it wrong." As he said that, Kyogoku Takamasa shook his head and walked towards Honmaru.
Just after walking through the tiger's mouth, Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly felt something push against the sole of his foot. Crouching down, I saw a few copper coins.
"What a good day today is, I actually found money."
Kyogoku Takamasa just smiled, and suddenly his expression became tense. He picked up the copper coins and took a closer look, as if he had discovered something.
"This is Jiajing Tongbao"
"Why are there such copper coins here?"
Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
On the surface, a few copper coins are nothing, but if you think about it carefully, there is a big problem.
In fact, it is not surprising that Yongle Tongbao and Zhengde Tongbao appear here, but the appearance of Jiajing Tongbao alone would be extremely abnormal.
In AD 1523, the third year of Dayei, and the second year of Jiajing in the same period of the Celestial Dynasty, the Hosokawa clan and the Nishigoku Tantei Ouchi clan fought over the prospect of joint trade with the Celestial Dynasty, and a riot broke out in Ningbo Port.
At that time, when the power of the shogunate was declining after the Onin Rebellion, the Hosokawa family and the Ouchi family directly put aside the shogun and other daimyo and jointly established the Kankai trading fleet.
But when they were dividing their interests, the two families began to fight among themselves again.
For example, when a fleet was formed, the Ouchi family shipped two ships and the Hosokawa family shipped one ship. Because the Hosokawa family was dissatisfied with only one ship, they secretly sent another ship to Ningbo Port before the agreed time.
This shows the intensity of the competition between the Hosokawa family and the Ouchi family in Japan for the right to explore and consolidate trade at that time.
The exploration and cooperation trade in Dayong for three years directly intensified the contradiction into a riot.
During the riot, people sent by the Hosokawa family took advantage of the chaos to burn, kill and loot throughout Ningbo, causing the Ming army to suffer certain casualties. Emperor Jiajing, who was in power at the time, ordered the abolition of the Municipal Shipping Department of Ningbo Port and canceled the joint exploration trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty.
This incident is known as the "Battle of Tribute" in history. After this incident, the official trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty was cut off, causing smuggling to flourish in the southeastern coastal areas, and Japanese pirates began to enter the stage of history.
Although the Ouchi family later started Kankai trade during Ouchi Yoshitaka's reign, after Ouchi Yoshitaka was killed by Saigoku Musou Tonima, Kankai trade was cut off again. Since then, the Japanese pirates have been plundering and getting out of control.
The Ouchi family restarted the Kanhe trade in 1536, the fifth year of Tianwen, and it is only now 1531, the fourth year of Xianglu.
Therefore, Kanhe trade has been cut off for nearly ten years.
Since it has been discontinued since the second year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally impossible for Jiajing Tongbao from the Ming Dynasty to flow in again.
Unless the Hosokawa family and the Ouchi family, who participated in the Kanhe trade in the first year of Jiajing, brought some of it back from the Ming Dynasty.
This time the Hosokawa family was in civil strife. Because the Kyogoku family had made military exploits on Hosokawa Harumoto's side, Hosokawa Harumoto rewarded the Kyogoku family with thousands of guan.
And these two thousand coins are Jiajing Tongbao
In other words, the money on the ground is very likely to be this batch of money.
As for whether the money was imitated in rb?
Kyogoku Takamasa doesn’t think so.
Because most of the copper coins of the Jiajing Dynasty were re-cast from the copper coins of the Hongzhi Dynasty, the copper coins turned white due to craftsmanship problems, so they were called "white copper coins". It is impossible to imitate this kind of technology in RB, otherwise there would be no such thing as "bad money".
So since this money is from the Hosokawa family, why does it appear here?
In this batch, except for Kyogoku Takahiro who spent some in Kyoto, it seems that he was the only one who gave some to the ninja when he was in Kumagawa Township to save Numata Mitsukane's life.

Kyogoku Takamasa's eyes suddenly widened, and his right hand unconsciously tightened the saber at his waist.
s1 evil money was a domestic imitation copper coin at that time. The quality of the copper coins was very low due to rough workmanship and lax materials. In Japan, this kind of low-quality copper coins is called bad money. Often a few or even a dozen bad coins are equivalent to one Yongle Tongbao.
Due to space issues, the Battle of Tribute in S2 is not easy to introduce too much in the book. Ji Liang will not go into details. Interested book friends can search it on their own.
