Chapter 14 third quarter

"Has Benkei left Kamakura?" A few days later, Yoritomo's counselor Oe Hiromoto asked his subordinates. "Yes, I will leave that day." Guangyuan thought, Benkei must be full of frustration and anger.Because that day when he came to Yuigahama, he hugged the masson pine that was only big enough for one person to hug, and stopped the passers-by and said: "Look!" Warriors, children, and women gathered around.Benkei said the name of the master and himself. "Look, Kuro Osoji and his men in Kyoto defeated Ichinoya like this." As he spoke, he pulled up the masson pine with his bare hands.

"like this!" After speaking, he put down the pine tree and turned his head to leave.This incident spread throughout Kamakura. (Poor man.) Guangyuan sympathized with Benqing. Benkei was ordered by his master to come to Kamakura. Because he was only an accomplice, not only Yoritomo did not see him, but even those in important positions did not see him. In the end, he was unable to complete the task assigned by his master. In desperation, he had no choice but to confide in passers-by. That's why he took such a strange action. (I heard that the old monk soldier was very wise, but there was nothing he could do with his wisdom.)

From Guangyuan's point of view, Yoshitsune does not have people who are well-versed in the world, which is probably Yoshitsune's fatal weakness.Even if he had warriors on the battlefield like Musashibo Benkei or Ise Saburo Yoshimori, they were all homeless in the past, not regular retainers of Kamakura.Even if they want to work for Kamakura, they have no way to do it, and they don't know how to do it.If Hiromoto was Yoshitsune's subordinate, he would bribe the powerful people in Kamakura.Benkei should win over Yoritomo's father-in-law Hojo Shizheng or himself, and use these people to persuade Yoritomo.However, Benkei suddenly said that he wanted to pay homage to Yoritomo, and went directly to see the waiter. These behaviors are unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

"Did the subordinates of Benkei and Yoshitsune contribute anything in the last battle?" Hiromoto asked his subordinates. The subordinate immediately went to the waiter to check the military loyalty certificate and other materials. The answer is: - I don't know. There is no record of Yoshitsune and his men's battles or exploits at all. (That's it!) Guangyuan thought. The Kamakura Legion is all managed by the servants, but Yoshitsune's subordinates are just personal followers, so the servants don't even have a list of them, let alone their military exploits.

(Yoshitsune is also true!) After attacking Kiso last time, he went on to attack Ichinoya and made great achievements. He should use these achievements as evidence to carry out political activities quickly. The first task should be to upgrade his subordinates to Kamakura's retainers. Envoys will not be treated like wild dogs in Kamakura. (Yoshitsune doesn't seem to have the brains for this.) He sympathizes with Yijing. However, Guangyuan didn't want to help Yoshitsune, nor did he have the obligation.After all, Guangyuan is Lai Chao's staff officer.His wisdom is only dedicated to things that are beneficial to Raitomo.

Lai Chao is busy investigating the reward. In May, the survey was completed, and the survey results were announced in the middle of the month, which won high praise. —There is no fairer reward than this. The whole of Kamakura was boiling, and everyone put their trust in Yoritomo's regime again. "Now, your regime will be stable for more than a hundred years." Dajiang Guangyuan also congratulated Lai Chao.It can be said that the foundation of the Kamakura regime has been laid with this fair reward and the praise of everyone.
