Chapter 45 The Tahara Family
In spring, in the garden of the lord's mansion, the mountains and flowers are everywhere, and butterflies are dancing among the flowers. Three women of each have their own beauty, quietly kneeling on the green grass, and there is also an elf chasing butterflies everywhere among the flowers, instead of laughing like silver bells.
Masara took out the last piece of paper from his arms and spread it out. He saw that the paper was painted with an eagle flying towards him. Masarara was ready to use the family pattern of the Luo family. Masarara had considered the determination of the family pattern. First, Heiji Togo once suggested that Masarara use the family pattern of the family branch of the Dongxiang family. There were two reasons. One was that he hoped that Masarara would inherit the family branch of the Dongxiang family. The other was that he was very particular about his origin at this time. In this regard, Masarara tactfully rejected this, so he did not care about these so-called family problems. Anyway, you said what origin was all about. Secondly, since he repeatedly claimed that he was the envoy of the Hachiman God, then the family pattern should be linked to this point. Under the promotion of Shinto in Japan, animals were regarded as gods by most people.
Masara also intends to use animals as home patterns. Among the many powerful people Masara already knows, such as Suzuki family and Imakawa family, they use animals as home patterns, and even use animal feathers as home patterns (such as Eagle Feather Text). Finally, it is to determine which animal to use as home patterns. Generally, animal home patterns include turtles, phoenixes, cranes, and doves. However, Masarara's artistic cells are really not very good. When he was studying in his previous life, he often became one of the students he didn't like when he was studying, but the goshawks were painted well. This is mainly due to the teacher's painting of an eagle in kindergarten. So he felt particularly good when he was painting goshawks. Combining all the above factors, Masara finally drew an eagle with flying wings as home patterns.
After handing over the painted family patterns to the girls and telling them to make several house patterns and main banners with the cloth seized from the yard warehouse, Masayoshi had to rush to the brick burning construction site on the north side of the mountain village, because a slight slight report came in and asked the Lord to go to inspect. Masayoshi was shocked. Could it be that the brick burning had been made?
With anticipation, Masaru came to the brick burning site and saw several elderly leaders and young and strong women making bricks with mud, and seven or eight earth kilns had been built. After seeing Masaru, Masaru, he immediately walked over and bowed and bowed, "Your Highness, eight earth kilns have been built, and the ministers have arranged for people to start making bricks and collecting firewood, but the situation of firewood and charcoal is not very good."
"Huh?" After hearing the words of Marusuke, Masaru was very strange. According to what he learned from Hiji Togo, Japan had learned to make bricks and charcoal from China at this time. Many temples have bricks and tiles structures, but charcoal did not become popular in the end. Masaru estimated that there were two reasons. One was that the cost was high. When building the city wall, due to the high cost, the general lords were more willing to use civil structure construction methods; the other was that the quality was not as good as stone, and the lords with some money would rather build Ishigaki. But charcoal was quite popular. In winter, a load of charcoal could be sold for dozens of cents. Now, Masaru said that the quality of charcoal was not good, so Masaru felt a little strange.
When Marsuke came to the firewood and charcoal earth kiln at the foot of the mountain, he saw that Zhengliang knew that the problem was. The quality of the earth kiln was too poor. Zhengliang immediately found a few leaders and first dug a pit about 8 meters long, 6 meters wide and 1.3 meters deep with a hoe to smooth the bottom of the pit. Then he asked someone to brush the ground to lay out the prepared firewood strips (upright) as the support frame for the charcoal kiln; cover the top of the firewood strips with a layer of thatch, and then cover the thatch with a thick layer of mountain soil, and use a hoe to build a semicircular kiln back; then dig 7 small holes on both sides of the kiln back as the kiln eye to adjust the heat. Then, a charcoal kiln is built on the top of the kiln to hide from the rain. In this way, a charcoal kiln has been initially completed. The built charcoal kiln looks like a large wine jar placed horizontally.
"Masuke, let's build a few more earth kilns in this style. Let's arrange it at night when burning charcoal. It's too hot during the day," Masaru said to Masaru. Masaru was completely skeptical by Masaru's earth kiln, which was a bit strange in shape, but he dared not raise any objections.
After dealing with the issue of Marusu, Masayora decided to inspect his new territory and was considering whether to take a mineral bath in the water pool in the back mountain in the afternoon.
Just as the territory is under construction, Masayoshi is looking forward to taking a "mineral spring" bath. To the east of the Yetaka Mountain, the Tahara family in Tadashi Castle is now in a tense atmosphere.
"Taro, is the news confirmed?" Tadao Tadao, the head of the Tadao family, stared at a samurai in his 20s in front of him.
"My father, the news from the inside has been confirmed. Oki Dazang has secretly arrived in Fujihira Castle today and is preparing to form an alliance with Fujiwara Hiroshinobu and discuss the joint sending troops to his family." Hiroyoshi Tahara replied carefully.
"Bang", Tadaoyi threw the tea bowl in his hand on the floor, and the tea bowl broke in response, "Damn it, my father should have been eradicated back then."
"My father, will our family take the initiative and attack the city of Tengpinghei and tear the villain Fujiwara Heiyi first to tear him apart," said Hiroyoshi Tahara indignantly.
"Oh!" Tadahara Tadaoyi sighed and looked up at the sky outside the gate. He didn't make a sound for a long time. It's not that he didn't want to take the initiative. In fact, Tahara and Fujiwara have been fighting each other for more than ten years. Every battle has been the overwhelming advantage, and even came to Fujiwara's city several times, but each time they returned without success. The Fujiwara family is like an immortal young strongman, who has repeatedly escaped danger. Now, with the Xiaomu family on the side, why should the Tahara family directly attack the Fujiwara city? Or this is what Buddhism calls God's will torture people. More than thirty years ago, as a major official of the Fujiwara family, Tadahara Tadaoyi's father secretly murdered Fujiwara Hiroshinobu, the head of the Fujiwara family, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Fujiwara family leaving only an orphan and widow mother to replace him. The original Fujiwara family was no longer there overnight.
The existence was replaced by the Tahara family. A year later, the daughter of the Fujiwara family who was occupied by Tadara Tadara's father gave birth to Tadara Tadara's half-brother Hideyoshi Tadara. Since they became sensible, the two brothers have been disagreeable, and Tadara Tadara even regarded Tadara's Hideyoshi as a thorn in the eyes. There was an unexpected situation. Tadara Tadara's father died in the battle between the Hatsumatsura family of the Upper Matsuura clan and the Matsuura clan Matsuura clan. Tadara Tadara hastily inherited the family governor, but he did not expect that Tahara's Hideyoshi took the opportunity to declare independence in his own city, renamed Fujiwara Hei Nobuki, and the city was also renamed as the original name of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Castle. Tadara Tadara sent troops to attack Fujiwara Castle, but eventually returned in vain due to the promotion of the attack. Since then, the two families have started fighting each other for more than ten years.
If the Tahara family had the advantage in the struggle in the past, this time it was evenly matched, because the Xiaomu family, who had been watching the fun, took the initiative to form an alliance with the Fujiwara family, and the two companies targeted the Tahara family's "copper mine".
This year, the Tahara family sold the copper mine provided by Danishi Dalang to the Huzi family, which made a fortune and was proud. But the paper could not be kept in the hottest. The Tahara family's neighbor Xiaomu family accidentally discovered the secret of the Tahara family and inferred that copper mines were found in the Tahara family's territory. In this era, copper mines were a symbol of wealth. In order to seize the Tahara family's "copper mine", the Tahara family decided to reveal the secret of the Tahara family to the Fujiwara family when their own power was not as good as the Tahara family, and took the initiative to form an alliance with the Fujiwara family. The Fujiwara family, who had been beaten for more than ten years, immediately responded actively. So the two families hit it off and prepared to send troops to the Tahara family in a hurry.
"Taro, is there still no news about that guy named Daro Banishi?" Tadaoyuki Tadao, who recovered from his memories, asked with his head down.
"My father, there is still no news this month? In the past, they took the initiative to contact our family and then exchanged materials in designated places," said Hiroyoshi Tahara, "Does my father plan to form an alliance with the bandits?"
Tadaoyuki Tadao looked at his son with appreciation and said, "Yes, I plan to form an alliance with Danishi Daro to deal with the Fujiwara family and the Omu family. I want to use Fujiwara Hiratsuki and Omu Dazo's heads to serve wine."
"But..." Hiroyoshi Tadao looked at Tadaoyoshi's expression, and then continued, "This guy Banshi Dalang is too greedy, and I'm afraid he won't agree to the alliance easily."
"Hmph, as long as the conditions have enough weight, he will definitely agree." After saying that, Tadao Tadao looked at the sword beside him.
"What?" Hiroyoshi Tahara was shocked, "My father, this is my family's treasure. The Huzi family has been trying to buy it but has not promised it. This... this..."
"Taro, after using those stupid bandits to eliminate the Fujiwara family and the Oki family, will Danishi Daro still be his opponent?" Tadao Yui stood up suddenly, looked up at the wooden roof of the Council Hall, and shouted with confidence, "This is just for the idiot I'm temporarily placing on Danishi Daro."
"Ah!?", Hiroyoshi Tahara was stunned. It turned out that his father had long planned to annex the Fujiwara family, the Komu family and the bandits at the same time. "But...but... But... Daro Banishi would not notice it, right?"
"Hahaha, Taro! Will a guy who betrays his leader for hundreds of stones of brown rice notice?" Tadaoyuki said with a laugh, "And this time in order to get Danishi Daro to take the bait, I decided to share the property seized by the Fujiwara family and the Omu family to him after the war. Under such conditions, he would definitely not doubt it."
"My father, you're so smart!" At this time, Hiroyoshi Tahara had to admire his father's strategy.
