Chapter 48 second quarter
The behavior of the Kiso army is so bad that it can be said that it is unprecedented. It makes people think that there are tens of thousands of robbers, and they are running around in groups. So breathless.Moreover, every time a family was robbed, they destroyed the house and searched everywhere, even smashed into the warehouse and dug up the floor.
——The world has perished.
In the diary of the right minister Kanemi, he even used such a serious expression to protest.
Yizhong and Xingjia are at a loss for what to do about these things.Yizhong issued several military orders:
"You can't do bad things!"
However, Kiso's troops directly under Yoshinaka were only a few thousand strong, and the military order was only effective for them, and there was still nothing to do with most of the other troops.
Because they were originally a motley crew.
Among them, although there are some samurai regiments commanded by sensible generals, such as Yasuda Yoshinobu of the Kaigen clan, Yoshinaka’s uncle, Shida Yoshihiro who was chased by Yoritomo and joined, and Yada Yoshiharu who lives in Ashikaga The army of others, but still accounted for less than 10%.Among the well-known generals, although there are Yamamoto Yoshitaka of Omi Genji and Shingu Juro Hiroshi, etc., they are originally wandering Genji and do not have their own army. They just pass by and gather people from various places to form an army.Many people come from Hokuriku or Tokaido.
——Following His Highness Kiso, there will be sweetness to eat.
This is what they originally thought.Most of them are people who don't even have land outside the Heike system, and there are even some real thieves and robbers.
"Just go to Kyoto."
They came here with a salivating mentality, and their purpose was to grab things.Yi Zhong couldn't stop them.
"Come with me, Kyoto is Baoshan."
It was Yi Zhong himself who drew a dazzling picture like a rainbow to attract them to follow, and so did the experts.If they are stopped now, they will flee in all directions, and Yizhong and Xunjia will have to return to the predicament of being alone.As such, they were nothing like Yoritomo, who led the orderly Bando Samurai Order.
"Don't nag them too much." Yizhong said, and sighed at the weakness of his position.
Moreover, Yizhong himself has difficulties and must let them plunder.Yizhong (of course, the same as the expert) has no leader, and no soldiers and rations to give to his subordinates, so he has to let the soldiers go out to grab rations.If they are not allowed to break into businesses and rob rice vats, they will not be able to support the army.
"This is also helpless."
Even the wise uncle and expert surrendered.The rice that the expert himself ate every day was robbed by his subordinates who broke into the farmhouses in the suburbs.Throughout the ages, there are only these two generals who have occupied the capital without bringing troops and rations, and ate up the rice and rations of the whole city.
"Let's put up notices on the streets that prohibit misbehavior!"
Experts advise Yizhong, otherwise the court may not be convinced.
"Even if it's posted, things are still the same," Yi Zhong said.
But experts say that ministers will like the formality.
In fact, he had no intentions.If the soldiers still turned a blind eye after posting the notice, Yizhong's evaluation among the officials and ministers would drop sharply.The little wit of the connoisseur is waiting to see the side effect of this notice.
"Then post it!"
Yizhong implements the proposal.And as originally predicted, it had no effect at all.Even the citizens think that this general is strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
They underestimated Yizhong's strength and looked down on him in private.This evaluation, even the Heike family who fled to Xihai heard it, it should give the Heike family a lot of encouragement!
Yi Zhong failed every day because of his brutal style, which provided a topic for the court or the market. A few days after he had an audience with the Emperor, Nayan Guanggao, a close minister of the Emperor, Mao Jianzhong, came to the residence of Yi Zhong in Liujo Xidongyuan with official business.By the way, although Mitsutaka is from the Fujiwara clan, that place name became a generic name for him because he lived in the cat house of Shichijobo Castle, which has the same meaning as the generic names such as Konoe, Ichijo, and Sanjo. However, Yi Zhong thought he was a real cat.With food in his mouth, he put down his chopsticks and said: "How strange! In Kyoto, cats still come to meet people?" The customs and customs of Kyoto are very strange to Yizhong. He thought that in Kyoto, cats would dress up to meet humans.The person who sent the message was Fang Jueming, a scholar and doctor under Yizhong's command.Jueming was panicked by this, and he explained with sweat profusely: "No, Maojian is a place name." "Ask him to come in!" Yoshinaka was having dinner, and in Kyoto, it was very rude to invite guests to a place to eat, but it was not considered so in the countryside where Kiso lived.He waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, so Guanggao came in. (There is really no way!) Nayan Guanggao in Maojian had no choice but to sit in the seat designated by Yizhong.Yizhong's enthusiastic attitude only makes the guests feel that he is self-righteous. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty," he called. This title made Guang Gao puzzled.However, Yi Zhong didn't have any malicious intentions, it was just because the initial impression didn't disappear from his mind. "I'm eating." Yizhong said, waving his chopsticks. However, what Yoshinaka meant was not: "I'm eating, I'm sorry!" but: "I'm eating, Your Majesty Cat, please join me!" This is how he treats guests in the countryside of Kiso. —give him food. He ordered the valet. "Please wait a moment, I don't need to eat anymore!" Guang Gao hurriedly refused. In the countryside, such a refusal would be interpreted as being polite, and the host would have to be more pestering to persuade him to eat.Yizhong also spit and said: "You're welcome! How can there be a reason not to entertain guests when guests come during dinner? Eat!" Accompanying him at the meal was Yoshinaka's samurai general, Nei Koyata from Nei, Saku-gun, Shinshu. In front of Guanggao, a set of food similar to that of Yi Zhong was sent: rice, soup, and vegetables. It looked very simple, and there were mouse-colored toadstools in the soup.Guang Gao hesitated. "Hurry up and eat!" Yi Zhong yelled, pointing to the soup bowl and urging: "This is a salt-free toadstool, eat it quickly!" "Salt-free" was one of the dialects in Kyoto at that time, referring to small fish pickled in salt and dried in the sun, and it also meant fresh fish.Yizhong tried to use the Kyoto dialect he had just learned, but he said "salt-free" toadstools that are not fish. Guang Gao didn't know what to do. Moreover, looking at the cutlery on the dinner plate, it was all thick and uneven, and even the paint was peeled off, which made people feel disgusting. But Yizhong still tried to persuade him to eat with great energy. He raised his chopsticks, pointed at Guanggao's bowl and said: "That bowl is what I used when I was a vegetarian." Yizhong didn't have special tableware for the guests, so he brought the bowls used for fasting for Guanggao. (Does Yizhong eat with this?) Guanggao felt displeased with his filthiness for a while, he had no appetite in the first place, and now he couldn't even swallow a single grain of rice.But Yizhong has already said that it is his own bowl, if he still doesn't pick up the chopsticks, he will think that he feels unclean, so he will not eat it. (There will be dire retribution.) Driven by this sense of fear, Nayan Guanggao picked up the big bowl—how can there be so much rice in it! "Then I'll use it." Guang Gao moved his chopsticks, but he was just pretending to eat.Soon, he dropped a grain of rice.The kind-hearted Yi Zhong kept watching the guests eat. "Ah! Cat rice!" Yizhong made a strange sound.The so-called cat rice refers to the meaning that cats will drop some when they eat.Is it interesting for Yoshinaka that Guanggao loses rice?Yizhong thought that he ate too little, and the chopsticks would only pick up a little bit, so he would lose the food, so he shouted tirelessly: "Shove it in!" Guanggao was about to cry, but he still had to eat.He swallowed it reluctantly, and finally finished the bowl. When he put down his chopsticks, he had no strength left. He didn't even say anything important, so he just ran away and said goodbye.The news of Guanggao's visit was spread in the court that day, and even the Emperor knew about it. "Ahahahaha...!" The very wicked Pope laughed like he was about to fall.How could such a wonderful man occupy Kyoto instead of the elegant Heike? (He seems to be a nice guy, though.) he thought so.Since the other party is a country guy, there is always a way to deal with him. No!The most urgent task at the moment is not to deal with him, but to reward Yizhong and Xingjia for their contribution to driving the Heike family away, and give them the official positions they deserve. The strange thing is that both Yoshinaka and Yoritomo of Kamakura are rebels. Not long ago, at the request of the Heike family, the court ordered the crusade against Genji, and regarded them as bandits. However, the logic in Japanese history is very special: regardless of justice or not, the imperial court only stands on the side of the strong, and then maintains order through rewards.The Heike family, the government army who received the order yesterday, has turned into a bandit army today and fled to the West Sea. "What degree of official position should be given to them?" The ministerial meetings were held endlessly, and some of them were nerve-wracking. In terms of the current perverted politics, the ruler of the court is the Emperor, but the official appointment ceremony must have the official letter of the emperor's decree.The emperor was kidnapped by the Hera family with the artifact, and now he is floating in the West Sea. "If you don't establish the emperor first, there is nothing you can do." That's how things turned out. Therefore, although Emperor Ande possessed the divine weapon, his identity as the Son of Heaven still disappeared.For the Heike family, it was a great loss not to take Emperor Goshirakawa away. As a result, according to the emperor's wishes, the three-year-old child born to the late Emperor Takakura's Shinomiya was appointed as the emperor.He is the Empress Toba. "Now the appointment ceremony can be held." After a long meeting, the ministers finally found the basis of personnel affairs, and were very happy.The Heike family's official position has been abolished. The long meeting continued. "Will Yoshitomo of Kamakura be angry if the reward is only given to Yoshinaka and the experts? If there is a reward, it should also be given to Yoshitomo?" Someone raised such an opinion. ——Rai Tomo is scary. Everyone has this feeling in their hearts, but no one knows Yoritomo's appearance and character, only the silent pressure of Bando Shimanki. "However, Yoritomo didn't mobilize a single soldier at all!" This is the correct statement.After a bitter battle, the one who defeated the Heike family from Hokuriku and drove straight to Kyoto was Yoshinaka and the expert.Yoritomo remained silent in Kamakura. However, fear overcame everything, and the ministers even felt that it was necessary to please Raitomo. "What do you want to give Raichao?" "I can't figure out his mind! I should send the envoy of the academy to Kamakura first, and ask him what he means?" "This is good!" They decided on this matter first, but they haven't decided on the official positions of Yi Zhong and Expert.Yizhong, in particular, had been in Beijing for several days, but there was no news of any rewards. He was very angry, so he began to reward his subordinates who had behaved mischievously. "If the higher-ups want to do this, I have my own way!" The ministers panicked. "In short, hurry up and reward! It's fine to reward any official, if they are dissatisfied with the official position! Give them something else." So everyone unanimously decided that the official ranks of both of them should be subordinated to the five, Yoshinaka is the left horse head and Echigo guard, and the expert is the backup guard. Yizhong's official name Zuomatou used to come from Yichao.Letting him hold this official position gave the impression to the world that Yoshinaka Kiso was also the leader of Genji. "Is this an official position?" Yizhong is very happy, the problem is another official position.After he has learned a lot, he knows that Echigo Mori's level is not good.The expert's back-up also belongs to the lower rank. "How can there be such a thing?" Experts ran to Yi Zhong to protest.Yi Zhong also felt that he was being teased. "It's too messy!" Yizhong once again clearly ordered his subordinates to make the capital a mess. The ministers kept silent, held a meeting again, and appointed two other officials—Yi Zhong as Yi Yushou, and an expert as Bei Qianshou. Both Iyo and Bizen's class belonged to the country, and the land was rich, so they were very satisfied.It was only five days since the last appointment.
In order to thank him for his appreciation, Yizhong had to go to the palace to see the Emperor.Now that he has obtained the official position, of course he can no longer wear a military uniform.This morning, for the first time in his life, Yi Zhong wore the hunting clothes of a court minister, and he was not allowed to ride a horse, he had to ride in an ox cart. Fortunately, he got the bullock cart abandoned by the Heike family.It was the luxurious bullock cart used by Zong Sheng, and a cattle feeder was also arrested.This morning, he got on the bullock cart.The cow whipped the cow when he went out, and the cow seemed to be frightened, and rushed out like flying. Due to the high speed, Yizhong in the car fell on his back. He wanted to get up, so he flipped his left and right sleeves like a butterfly and struggled.However, the freedom of the body was restricted by Kari, and he couldn't get up.Yizhong asked the car to stop. "Stop! Niu Jianer!" He kept yelling.In Kyoto dialect, the man who pulls the ox cart is called "Niu Kai".Yizhong didn't know this title and used the country dialect, Jianer means "young man". "Stop! Young man. Stop! Young man." He wanted the car to stop, but the cow couldn't understand it, and thought it meant to tell the car to run faster, so he flicked his whip and drove the car desperately.The wheel collided with the ground, jumping and running, and Yi Zhong in the car fell into a mess. (What a horrible vehicle!) He himself thought it was funny, so he giggled.At this time, Imai Shiro Kanhei, Yoshinaka's subordinate, came after him on horseback and scolded the cattle, and the car finally stabilized. When they arrived at the Imperial Palace, the oxen of each ox cart were untied, and Yoshinaka had to get off the cart.He was about to get out from the back of the car when the servant hired in Kyoto immediately reminded him: "Please get off from the front." When riding an ox cart, get on from the back and get off from the front. This is the etiquette for riding an ox cart. But Yizhong said seriously: "That's wrong! Get on the car from the back and get off from the front. It's called barring entry. Even if it's just a ox cart, it can't be done like this." So he insisted on getting off from the back.His antics spread throughout the capital.
Yi Zhong failed every day because of his brutal style, which provided a topic for the court or the market. A few days after he had an audience with the Emperor, Nayan Guanggao, a close minister of the Emperor, Mao Jianzhong, came to the residence of Yi Zhong in Liujo Xidongyuan with official business.By the way, although Mitsutaka is from the Fujiwara clan, that place name became a generic name for him because he lived in the cat house of Shichijobo Castle, which has the same meaning as the generic names such as Konoe, Ichijo, and Sanjo.
