A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

After a sleepless night, Koheita still couldn't think of any way to abandon Hideyoshi's difficult-to-replicate path.

Kasaka Danzheng was also born as a rich farmer. He could earn 75,000 koku just because of his beautiful lips and white teeth. Todo Takatora, the Bird of the Cross, was born as a rich farmer and ended up with 329,000 koku. However, when he died, his body was covered with holes and there were countless scars. Xiaoping was too afraid of death and did not dare to be so violent.

After patting his head and not thinking about this, and thinking about how to avoid having to go to the muddy ground and face the loess, the village chief sent his old family members to find Xiao Pingtai.

Xiaopingtai had no choice but to get up and go to see the village chief. It turns out that the village chief has a new wife, and the little girl still needs someone to take care of her. The old family members are getting older, and there are not enough people at home. He hopes that Xiao Pingtai will work in his house as a long-term worker. Xiaopingtai agreed immediately, as long as he could stop farming.

So I helped chop wood, boil water, and cook. After more than a month of busy work, Xiao Pingtai also temporarily became familiar with this kind of life. At least as a long-term village chief, you have enough to eat twice a day. The village chief's family doesn't have much food, that is, they don't have to eat whole grains every day, and they only get some fish occasionally.

One afternoon in late autumn, Xiao Pingtai was pounding rice as usual, and then grinding rice flour to make dumplings. Then boil water, make soup, and make pickles and fish together with the village elders’ wives.

At this time, the sky, which was originally fine, started to rain lightly. Xiaopingtai looked outside, and it was estimated that it would snow within two days of rain, and the weather was getting colder. Thinking about it this way, it's still warm in the kitchen and it's fun to do odd jobs.

The village elder's wife saw that her daughter had run away again and had not come back, so she ordered Xiao Pingtai to go out to find her daughter.

Xiaopingtai had no choice but to hold up an umbrella and go out. He found the village chief's daughter hiding under a bare tree by the river. It won't protect you much from the rain, and you will definitely get wet. So he walked in and asked her to go back quickly, but she responded and continued squatting by the river.

Just as Xiaopingtai was about to drag her home, a group of warriors on horseback at the entrance of the village jogged into the village in the rain. After seeing Xiaopingtai, they quickly called Xiaopingtai several times. When Xiao Pingtai came close, he asked Xiao Pingtai where the local family in this village was. Xiaopingtai quickly lowered his head and saluted, and then said to take them there.

After entering the house, they found five followers guarding Yamauchi Yoshiharu (a wild 160,000 stone daimyo) wearing a hunting robe and a bamboo hat on his head.

When the village chief saw him, he immediately brought his family and children to salute Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Yamauchi Yoshiji looked at the village chief's work and asked, "Kawabe Zaemon?"

The village chief immediately answered yes, his face full of joy that the boss knew me. He immediately ordered people to take the hunting clothes that Yamauchi Yoshiji had taken off to dry, and arranged for six horses to enter the stables, and ordered Xiaopingta to feed them with concentrate. He also asked his wives to serve Yamauchi Yoshiharu and change into dry underwear, and other attendants were also invited to warm themselves by the fire.

He then asked Koheta to fetch hot water for Yamauchi Yoshiharu to wash his hands and feet, and then ordered him to go around under the command of Koheta.

Finally, Yamauchi Yoshiharu and a valet sat safely in the central hall. Hot tea and freshly made New Year cakes were served, and other arrangements were made. The village chief carefully knelt down and sat next to him. As for Xiao Ping, it was good enough that he could stand on the porch and wait for instructions without getting caught in the rain.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu was not so restrained. He looked around the house casually, and asked about this year's harvest, whether the wheat had been planted, how many families of military servicemen there were in the village, how the life of the servicemen was like, and so on. The village chief answered every question in great detail, and even seemed a bit verbose.

But Yamauchi Yoshiharu also listened very carefully and didn't think it was redundant at all.

It was also Yamauchi Yoshitsugu who happened to be out hunting when it rained, so he came here to take shelter from the rain. Looking closely, Koheita also felt that this man had a certain air of understanding. He treated the samurai and ashigaru who were loyal to him without caring about their status. Kindness and tolerance will be given to warriors who are loyal to themselves, and other ordinary people should be nothing in their eyes).

Then he ate the snacks and fruits from the village chief's house. He ate them very quickly and didn't care about the taste, which proved that this person was not easily tempted by food and wine.

Koheita secretly observed from the corridor, Yamauchi Yoshiharu and the village chief had already talked about the battle of Ichinomiyayama Castle seventeen years ago, and they both fought at the beginning of that year.

It turned out that the friendship was still based on carrying guns together, and the village chief slowly let go and talked about how he and his father killed people under the city. Yamauchi Yoshiharu suddenly realized that it was you and your father who captured the enemy's arrows and oars.

Slowly, the story of the recent war started, and the village chief mentioned that Koheita helped Hosokawa Miname to carry out political affairs and was the first to rush to Ejiri Castle Ninomaru with a flag.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu looked at Koheita who was kneeling down at this time with some consideration, and ordered him to raise his head. As if he remembered something, he pondered for a moment: "Are you going to deliver the head of General Shirakawa Kata to Dai Kodama Norihide?" That envoy?"

"Mom, my chance to prosper has finally arrived!" It was finally Xiaopingtai's turn to speak, and he immediately responded.
