A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Nagao Kagetora was dealing with the Hojo soldiers who had been sent out of the city after being disarmed and checked by Imagawa Yoshimoto and Nagano Yamasa, and after checking their identities, all the military servicemen and servicemen were sent home directly, while the samurai paid hundreds of money as tokens. Redeem yourself sexually.

On the other side, he was also anxiously waiting for the inauguration ceremony arranged for him by Koheita. Seeing that the Hojo soldiers had sent out more than 10,000 soldiers, he notified him to go, but Nagao Kagetora was anxious.

Nagao Kagetora first brought Chiba Chiyin, Yuuki Haruto, Koyama Takato, Hara Yoinzada, and Takagi Yoinkichi to Kamakura, who came to plead guilty, and told them to cooperate with him in taking office, otherwise they would not be treated leniently. As a result, this A group of people immediately burst into tears and vowed to cooperate well with his performance. In this way, Nagao Kagetora slowly moved to Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in a large group under the escort of nearly a hundred subordinates who were about to become theoretical subordinates.

When the time came, there was no need to choose. Nagao Kagetora said that today was an auspicious day, and countless monks and priests came out to cooperate with him and said that it was an auspicious day.

Nagao Kagetora is dressed in a very solemn and solemn dress, deep black, wearing a folded black hat on his head, and under his crotch is the extremely sacred horse Fangsheng Yuemao (I don't quite understand why ancient ceremonies must use a white horse, and It is a pure white horse, even though the emperor always wore a black dress with a white horse. When Liu Bang came to the throne, he lamented that there were no four white horses to pull the cart, as if he had committed a great disrespect to God.) . Today, Nagao Kagetora did not carry a sword, but rode his horse slowly forward as usual.

First, there was a guard of honor to open the way. One of the two warriors at the head raised the sword and the other raised the cup. Then the warrior raised the white umbrella bag, and then eight warriors raised the golden halberd (the official system of the Tang Dynasty, the third rank and above were allowed to line up the halberd in front of the door, although there are only five long-tailed Kagetora now, but who dares to care?) The next warrior raised the ax and axe , hold up a golden melon (a melon-shaped hammer), hold up a gold bone flower, hold up a gold bow and arrow (that is, the bow is completely covered with gold foil), hold up a gold crossbow (the same), hold up a gold hook and sickle, a gold gun, and a gold knife. The ceremonial guard of 8,864 people was spread out, which was very majestic.

Next came sixty-four warriors holding the Sugi family's bamboo bird pattern, each with colors such as green, white, yellow, red and black, and lined up. When Nagao Kagetora arrived in front of the shrine, from the mountain gate (torii gate) to the front of the shrine, three thousand Echigo samurai ashigaru shouted in unison: "Oyakatora's military fortune will last for hundreds of millions of years! Oyakatōden's military fortune will last for hundreds of millions of years!" , billions of years!" The sound shook the sky, and all the birds in the mountains and forests on the left and right took off in surprise, like flying dragons flying into the sky, and the long-tailed tiger was astonishingly powerful.

Accompanied by the ceremonial guard of 128 people to clear the way, every time Nagao Kagetora advanced three to five steps, the samurai shouted "Banzai" in unison. Nagao Kagetora was extremely helpful, walking very slowly, waving frequently to the Echigo samurai on the left and right. , enjoying this glorious moment.

When Nagao Kagetora walked to the front of the temple, eight tall and strong warriors waved their long whips, smashed them on the ground, and swung them three times in a row. The originally extremely lively scene immediately fell silent, and then the big bell on the top of the mountain rang nine-nine-eighty-one times, signaling the official start of the inauguration ceremony.

At this time, the honor guards were already lined up. Nagao Kagetora climbed up the stairs to the hall, and the drummers began to play music. Anyway, Xiaoheita didn't know whether it was "The Emperor of the Dynasty" or "Zhu Shengjie", but it was solemn but joyful.

Nagao Kagetora walked up to the Yumiya Hachiman Shrine, stood on a high place, and looked down at the people below. All the Ashikaga School students were driven out by Kohirato. I heard slight but dense footsteps, and then sixty-four people gathered into a square formation and began to dance to the music. Not to mention, even the rough guys were amazed when they saw this big scene. If you dance alone or two people dance, the feeling is not strong. When you have more people, the scene will be really exciting (see the large-scale singing and dancing of 100,000 people in a certain country).

Two attendants helped Uesugi Ken|Masa to the front of the palace, and all the generals of His Highness saluted him. This was probably the only time in his life that he really enjoyed the pleasure brought by the majesty of the Kanto governor.

Uesugi Ken|masa asked the generals to stand up, and then Nagao Kagetora saluted him. He handed Nagao Kagetora the atlas that recorded the Uesugi family lineage from generation to generation since the Fujiwara clan persuaded the temple to change the Miao name to Uesugi. Since then, Nagao Kagetora officially became his adopted son legally and nominally, and changed his name to Uesugi Masatora. Afterwards, the Uesugi family's famous swords, armor, seals, and valuable treasures were carried up one by one by the attendants and handed over to Uesugi Masatora, and the position of Kanto Governor was also officially transferred to Uesugi Masatora.

After the handover was over, Gagaku was changed to "Zou Taihei", and all the Kanto generals, including Satake Yoshiaki, who had not come at all before but now knows him very well, Iwaki Shigetaka, Edo Shigenichi, Shirakawa Haretsuna, etc. They all knelt on the ground and said: "We all share the same wish, and congratulate Oyakata-den on taking office!" Among those present were the imperial court representative Tohashi, the public representative Isshiki Fujinaga, Suruga the guardian of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and Furukawa the public. Ashikaga Yoshiji could still stand and bow his head in salute or watch the ceremony with a smile. Thousands of people were bowing their bodies at this moment, prostrating themselves at the feet of Masatora Uesugi.

So as the leader of Kanto, Nagao Kagetora first presented a sword to the shrine and prayed for a long-lasting military fortune. Offer another plate of rice cakes and pray for good weather. Finally, he offered a thousand taels of gold to pray for peace in the world and peace for the shogunate. (The so-called first offering, second offering, and final offering)

Then the ten captured samurai from Hojo were naked except for their loincloths and were tied up symbolically. They knelt down in front of Masatora Uesugi. Each of them symbolically struck a stick with a stick, indicating that he would defeat Hojo and achieve his wish.

As for the Chiba, Yuki and other generals mentioned before, they begged him with canes on their backs. Masatora Uesugi sternly denounced them for their treason, and then reduced some of their seals, thinking that they were members of a famous family from generation to generation. If you can repent, forgive them. To show his generosity and fairness as the new leader of Kanto.

Uesugi Masatora then announced that Koyumi Norisumi would be the new head of Koyumi 20,000 kan as the leader (it did not help him gain any status), Satomi Yoshihiro would add 2,000 kan to Soshu Funabashi, and Nagano Yamasa An additional 15,000 kan were added to Musashi Matsuyama, and 30,000 kan were taken over by the Ota family and the three Ota families in Edo, Iwasuke, and Kawagoe (not Kawagoe Castle). Narita Chotasu, who had offended him in the past, was very wise this time and was able to completely take over Kinishi Nisenkan. (In the past, Narita Chotasu's younger brother Kinishi Chaoxing could only be said to be manipulating it behind the scenes, but now he is an upright and open retainer of the Nishi-Oda clan. melted).

Uesugi Ken|Masa received 50,000 gu pension materials including Ueno Tatebayashi, Hirai, and Corridor Bridge. The original lord of Corridor Bridge Castle, Hojo Takahiro, was granted the title of Musashi Kawakoshi 11,500-kan and served as a Musashi supervisor to monitor Sakon. Kawada Nagauchi succeeded Hakone Gongen and was promoted from an ordinary samurai to a powerful master of 7120 swords. On the surface, he monitored the Hojo retainers of Sagami Izu, but in fact he also guarded against the Imagawa clan.

The most trustworthy and loyal Yangbei Zhongchuo Toshiji took over the Katsushika County and Musashi 1st Division with a total of 21,100 gun, which was used to monitor the people of the Central Government and serve as the head of the family of Oyumi Yizumi. (Satomi Yiyao’s banner was robbed).

The other generals had more or less received rice and gold as rewards before, but now they either have their skills secured or have changed hundreds of territories, so I won’t go into details one by one.

Xiaodaita took a look and saw that the layout was comprehensive. There shouldn't be any trouble like the young boys revolting once Nagao Kagetora left. Although Nagao Kagetora's own retainers actually only occupy tens of thousands of territory, they all have some strength. Even if they are suddenly attacked, they can protect themselves until Nagao Kagetora comes to rescue them. The chaos in Kanto should be able to settle down a bit.

Who knows?

It’s a new week, go ahead!
