Chapter 474
Kyoto, Japan, was founded in the 12th year of Yanli (793), and was called Heian Kyo. The following year, it was officially moved from Nagaoka Kyo. This Heian Kyo is about 4.7 kilometers north-south and 4.5 kilometers east-west. The basic structure imitates Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty in China. It is square and has an imperial palace built in the center of the north-south. The city is separated by Zuojing and Youjing, and then divided by multiple straight horizontal and vertical streets into dozens of yards.
Although the name is Heian Kyo, which imitates Chang'an in China, it is customary to call this capital "Luo". Because the Japanese archipelago formally contacted China in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties after that, all set the capital in Luoyang. In other words, "Luo" can be regarded as the abbreviation of the capital. The Japanese imitated it and also called their capital "Luo", and the nearest capital was "Luozhong". In the Warring States Period, when they brought their army into Kyoto, people regarded this military action as "Shangluo".
The twelfth year of Astronomy, September 1543 AD.
On this day, a huge convoy appeared on the streets of Kyoto. In the convoy, people often saw flags representing a certain daimyo. If the convoy was not all dressed in caravans, people would have thought that daimyo would have been on the verge of Luo.
"Is this the home pattern of that famous name?" Such a huge convoy naturally attracted a large number of people to watch. When someone saw the home patterns on the flag, he couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, you don't know this, right?" someone said in the crowd.
"Do you know?"
"That's right. Tell you, this is the family pattern from the Luo Family family in Kyushu. Do you know the Shuangying of the Western Kingdom?" Then the passerby talked endlessly about the Luo Family family and introduced it to the people around.
If someone who often drinks in a barbecue by the lakeside of Utsugi Mountain Castle in the Yuanjiang River will recognize this as the "Ronin" who said in the barbecue that the whole family will move to the Luo family's territory. His identity is the detective of the Luo family. He specializes in celebrating the reputation of the Luo family in various places and attracts the Langren to settle in the Luo family's territory.
On this side, the Luo family detective pretended to be a ronin to introduce the Luo family to the people around him. On the other side, Shenglong, also seemed very energetic at this time. This time the path to sending money and grain to Kyoto was jointly drafted by him and Masayoro.
In this era, it is extremely difficult to try to travel to Kyoto by land, regardless of whether there are family members or other people in the middle. Nowadays, the famous families in various places are all their own, so how could such a large group of people suddenly appear in their own territory? If many of these people are still carrying weapons, even if they do not wear armor, no flags, but only have too many swords, they will not let you pass. It can be said that as long as you are a normal lord, you will never let you pass through a large group of people.
Even those merchants who traveled around the world tried their best to choose to go by water. Even if they had to go by land, they would only pass in batches, with less than 100 people in each batch. At the same time, they had to establish good relations with the local lords.
Of course, now the Luo family transported 10,000 jin of copper coins and tens of thousands of stones of rice from Kyushu to Kyoto. The number of people in charge of escorts on the way is definitely not good, but it will be a little distorted when there are too many. The tycoons along the way will not let go, and even force them to rob. After thinking about it, Yokotoshi thought that it was safer to go on the waterway. Just bypassing some areas where the pirates and the great-name forces are prosperous, Atsushi's idea coincided with Masaru. So the Luo family's naval forces sailed for several months before reaching Sakaimachi.
After receiving the news that the supplies escorted by our own water army were about to arrive, Ichimoto immediately began to prepare for the safe delivery of money and food to Kyoto. After all, it is not very stable around Kyoto now. With the previous relationships established in Kyoto and Sakaimachi, he soon obtained the permission from the Hosokawa family and the Miyo family. At the same time, he also cleared the relationship between the court and the shogunate in advance.
So this trip to Kyoto was very smooth. The wheelbarrow convoy that transported money and grain finally entered Kyoto without any danger. The money and grain were sent to Kyoto. It was also the first purpose of this trip.
This is the name of the Luo family. Along the way, Shenglong deliberately made people to raise the banner of the Luo family, and also sent people to spread the information of the Luo family everywhere, so that many people in Kyoto knew that there was a family like the Luo family. In a sense, this time it was a special Luo family for the Luo family.
Now, he is about to work hard to achieve the second goal of this time, which is to get as much benefit as possible from the court and the shogunate.
The news that the Luo family's transport team entered Kyoto has not been returned to Kyushu, but the news that the Luo family controlled the Feihou Tiancao County has already spread to various Kyushu...
"Clang!"
An exquisite Ming Dynasty porcelain cup in the meeting hall of Fenghou Mansion Inner Hall broke out after intimate contact with the wooden floor.
"Please calm down. Now we should consider dealing with the actions of the Luo family in the fertile family." After seeing that the head of the family Yoshikazu Otomo was furious after learning the information about the famous Kazu Otomo's family in Shimahara Bay and the Yamahara and Amakotan, Otomo's important minister Usuki Kazu immediately advised him.
Otoyo Yoshiki was also a person with deep thoughts. After calming down for a while, he immediately asked, "How do you think my family should deal with it?"
Yukiki immediately pondered: "Lord, I heard that Your Highness Yiwu seems to be active again in Feihou."
"Hmph, this unfilial brother, my country will sooner or later exil him to Arima Island." As soon as he heard Usukikiri's speed mentioning Kikuchi Yoshitake, Otomo Yoshiki was immediately angry and unable to hit a single place.
"Lord, now that Feihou is invaded by the Luo family, not only will the interests of his family be affected, but even the interests of His Highness Yiwu in Feihou will be affected. Why don't my family consider sending people to His Highness Yiwu to discuss with him to drive the Luo family out of Feihou?" Yukiki said earnestly.
"Yeah!" Otomo Yoshiki showed silence for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement. After all, instead of fighting internally, it would be better to drive outsiders out of the fat first and then close the door and fight alone?
"But, who should I send someone to contact that unfilial brother?" After thinking it through, Ototo Yoshiki immediately had a headache about the candidate who went to persuade him. In recent years, Ototo Yoshiki and Yoshitake Kikuchi have been almost incompatible, and they have never contacted each other much.
"Lord, my subordinates think that after entering the field, I can be competent for this matter." Yukiki immediately recommended.
"Is Shintaro (i.e., Sorin Otomo) a teacher?" Yoshiki Otomo thought to himself. As soon as he mentioned the fact that he was close to the family, Yoshiki Otomo could not help but think of Shintaro who had not been long since the time of Monfu. Since his mother (i.e., Yoshiki Otomo's sister and Sorin Otomo) died, Yoshiki Otomo married another wife, and since then Shintaro's personality has become a bit obedient, which has caused a headache for Yoshiki Otomo.
"Lord, after entering Tiandan, Shuqincheng has an old relationship with His Highness Yoshiwu, so he can take this important task." Seeing Ototo Yoshimiya pondering, Yukiki Kashishishi thought that Ototo Yoshimiya had hesitated again, so he immediately urged him.
"Since that's the case, it's up to you to arrange this matter." Ototo Yoshiki finally nodded.
"Lord, in addition, I can also contact the Sara family of the Namio-Haigu and the Shimazu family of Satsuma. After the strength of the Luo family invaded the Hao family, they must be restless for sleeping and eating, as close neighbors of the Luo family. I happened to join these two families to deal with the Luo family." Usuki Kaisu suggested again.
"Yeah." After pondering again, Yoshikazu Otomo agreed. The Aira family naturally wanted to win over. After all, the Otomo family's strength in the north and the central and northern regions are mainly concentrated in the central and northern regions, and there is no conflict with the Aira family in the south for the time being. As for the Shimazu family, although the incident of Shimazu family being outraged by Shimazu Minaku in a mess a few years ago made him very angry, after all, Shimazu Yoshikazu's mother's family is his relatives, and the Shimazu family is really too shameful this time. But now that the Luo family is a powerful enemy, there is no need to mention these things that are not related to the itch.
"You must do all these things. In addition, I will issue a secret order to invite the owners of the Fatty Hou to submit to our family to discuss the important matters at the office.
"Yes, lord!"
