Takeda Hidenobu and Shield Without Armor

Chapter 490 Takeda Hidenobu and Shield Without Armor

Early the next morning, everyone knew that Satomi Yoshikang had led the team back to the General Manager on his own, and wanted to see what decision the Xiu family would make, but to their surprise, the Xiu family had no idea at all. Said, as if he didn't know anything about Satomi's family at all.

He just sent someone to inform everyone to make preparations, and after resting for another night, he will leave for Odawara tomorrow.

The reason Xiujia asked for another day was because he had made some arrangements last night and needed to wait for the news to ferment.

He was woken up again in the middle of the night last night, but this time it was Tsusaki Sannojo who called Hideka up.

I saw him and Ishikawa Goemon kneeling outside Hideka's house, with a wooden box beside them.

Seeing that the two of them finally came back, Xiujia said pleasantly, "You are finally back, I thought something went wrong on your way!"

Seeing Xiu's family coming out, Tsuge Sanzhicheng saluted Xiu's family and then replied, "There are indeed some troubles on the road, even though Tokugawaden took away most of the guards, there was still a fight on the side of the shield without armor.

Afterwards, His Royal Highness asked us to perform a play, throwing the dummy into the Zouwang Lake, and it was with great difficulty that we got rid of him. "

Xiujia didn't listen to his description carefully. At this moment, all his attention was attracted by the box. He said to the two of them, "Is this the shield without armor? Open him Sanzhicheng."

Hearing the Hide family's order, Tsusue Sannojo called Ishikawa Goemon to open the box in front of the Hide family, but Ishikawa Goemon didn't move, he just looked at Hide family coldly and asked, "Excuse me, Your Highness?" , where is Qianhe now?"

Hideya asked Nobushige Sanada to turn on the light, and later, he had to carefully observe the shield-less armor, what could this black-lighted and blind-sighted person see.

Hideka was sitting on the wall corridor, with attendants frantically lighting torches and candles behind him, Hideka said to Ishikawa Goemon, "I didn't take your disciple away, but I have been guarding you in Isesaki Castle. After you give me the shieldless armor, you can go to Isesaki to lead people."

After hearing the answer, Goemon Ishikawa still pressed the wooden box, and asked the Hide family, "Does Your Highness have a certificate?"

The show family who heard Ishikawa Goemon's questioning was also laughed angrily. He said to Ishikawa Goemon, "Goemon, why should my show family lie to you? I have cooperated so many times, I am Don't you know what kind of person you are?"

"Every time I see you, it's not the same as before. I really haven't seen you clearly until now."

Although he said he was on guard against the Xiu family, he let go of the hand on the box and said to the Xiu family, "Since this matter is over, the kindness owed to His Highness that day can be regarded as repayment. Your Highness is a man in heaven." , and I'm a ghost on earth, it's better not to come and go." After saying that, he got up and left.

Seeing the sudden movement of his body, the attendants were afraid that he would be unfavorable to the Xiu family and made defensive movements.

Seeing the antics of Hideyoshi's attendants, Ishikawa Goemon laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, this is the Okayama Army, the strongest army in the world, and they are even afraid of a monkey master who has unarmed."

Hideka also felt a little embarrassed, and asked Sanada Nobushige to find a box of 10 gold coins and give it to Ishikawa Goemon and said, "Don't misunderstand Goemon, this is your reward."

Looking at the golden sentence in the wooden box, Ishikawa Goemon did not accept it, he declined and said, "I am here to repay the favor that I owed that day, so what if I accept His Highness's golden sentence today?

Besides, Your Highness, do you think that if I go to the shrine to steal the artifact for you, can I be rewarded with a few gold dollars? "

Ishikawa Goemon was determined not to accept it, and after saying the above, he left without even saying hello. The Hide family had no choice but to let Tsusue Sannojo take over the gold sentence and let him deliver it on his behalf.

After the two left, Xiujia asked Sanada Nobushige to open the wooden box for Xiujia, and let Xiujia see this Japanese national treasure for the first time.

Nobushige Sanada used to be the surname of Katsuyori Takeda, so he was familiar with the shield armor. When the shield armor was displayed in front of Hideka, Hideya couldn't wait to ask Nobushige Sanada to confirm the authenticity of the armor. sex.

Sanada Nobushige was very excited to see the shield without armor again after many years, but after carefully observing the details, he frowned.

"How is it, is it really Dun Wukai?" Xiujia asked without taking his eyes off Dun Wukai, not noticing his expression.

"It should be." Sanada Nobushige said incredulously.

After hearing this answer, Hideka couldn't help but turned his head to Sanada Nobushige and asked, "What should it mean? Yes or no or no. This is what Ishikawa Goemon stole from the Suda Ten Shrine."

Sanada Nobushige replied in a doubtful tone, "It does look like a shield without armor, and some details are similar enough, but it's been too long and I can't be sure.

In addition, there are two points that puzzle me. One is the wooden box. Is this really the wooden box where the shield armor is placed? It looks like it is new. In addition, the power used on the shield armor The rope also looks new.

However, this kind of old armor has been in disrepair for a long time, and it really needs maintenance. Maybe it is because Tokugawa Zhongnayan is well maintained. "

After listening to Nobushige Sanada's words, Xiujia found out that it was true after careful comparison. Apart from the details of the shield and no armor, this armor looks like a new armor with an old style.

But it is true that as Nobushige Sanada said, the oldest prestige on this kind of armor that has been passed down for thousands of years has long been broken, and it is justifiable to repair it and replace it with a new one.

However, combined with the historical records of Tokugawa Ieyasu's process of obtaining the shield without armor, Hideo couldn't help but think of another explanation.

You must know that the shield without armor was obtained by Tokugawa "accidentally" from Kai after Komaki Nagakhou in 1585. It is said that Takeda Katsuyori let a samurai who was the door of Tanabe hide under a tree in Xiangyue Temple .

When Tanabe Zuowei was the last to serve in Tokugawa, he submitted it to Tokugawa Ieyasu as a nomination certificate, and was dug up by Tokugawa Ieyasu and enshrined in Suda Tenjin Shrine again.

Does this story sound a bit fantastical?

If you want to say that the shield without armor is the treasure of the Takeda family, Takeda Katsuyori knows that the Takeda family is about to perish, so he will either destroy the shield with him, or let someone hide it well, how could it be hidden together? under a tree.

Besides, it was not an easy task to dig soil under a tree to hide things during the chaos.

When I heard this story in my previous life, Hideka thought it was amazing. In addition, the time when this event appeared in history was too legendary. Tokugawa Ieyasu's legal rationality.

To this day, after the Xiu family saw the suspicious points on the shieldless armor, the Xiu family suddenly had a guess: this old tortoise would not find someone to re-engrav a shieldless armor, and then ask someone to dig it out under the tree, so as to To strengthen their own legitimacy?

The point is that now I foolishly stole someone else's replica!

Hideka wanted to make Dun Mukai appear in front of Takeda Hidenobu silently, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's Dun Mukai dug out from under a tree for no reason, no matter how you look at it, there is a kind of similarity.

How to say that the news of the theft of the shield without armor has been spread in Kanto a few days ago, but there is no special action from the Tokugawa family at all. The old turtle still has several in his hand, right?
Thinking of Xiu's family here, he felt like he was being tricked, and scratched his bald forehead in distress.

But then he suddenly realized that since Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted a shieldless armor to increase his legitimacy, it must be impossible to reproduce too many at a time, after all, this thing will lose its "divinity" after it is flooded.

In addition, from Tokugawa Ieyasu's acquisition of Kai in 1582 to 1585 when he made this shield without armor, it shows that it is not easy to reproduce this shield without armor.

This gave Xiujia a chance to act first.

As long as he declares that the shield is in the hands of his vassal Takeda Hidenobu, even if Tokugawa Ieyasu has ordered another one, he will lose the opportunity. Now what the Hideka has to do is to spend my time.

"Whether it's true or not, as long as I tell Tokugawa that it's true, it's true."

At this time, Tsusue Sanzhicheng came back from afar, and before he had time to report to the Xiu family, the Xiu family ordered, "Quick, Sanzhicheng, you put the shield without armor in Takeda Hidenobu's house overnight."

After finishing speaking, he took another look at Dun Wukai and said, "This wooden box is too new, so don't take the wooden box, just take it with you."

After finishing speaking, he said to Nobushige Sanada behind him, "You are going to visit Taro tomorrow morning. As for what to say when we meet, you should know clearly, right?"

At this time, Sanada Nobushige already understood what Hideka was going to do. Although he was a little surprised by Hideya's operation, he quickly agreed.

Everything is ready and only owes the east wind.

--------------------------------

Early the next morning, when Takeda Hidenobu woke up, he rubbed his eyes dimly, and looked up at the ceiling of the old house.

Takeda Hidenobu, who is shouldering the important task of revitalizing the Takeda family, the first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to cheer himself up and instill his own ideals in himself.

Then he stood up as usual, picked up the clothes from the side and prepared to put them on, but at this moment his movements froze.

Because he suddenly noticed a piece of armor appeared in front of him, this piece was so familiar yet so strange.

I am familiar with it because it has appeared more than once in my parents’ stories and in my own dreams, and I am unfamiliar because I only saw it when I was the same age, and it has passed away with the demise of the Takeda family more than ten years ago. .

Later, I heard that it was found by the Tokugawa family and enshrined in the Suda Ten Shrine, but recently I heard that it was stolen again by thieves. In the end, it was too urgent to be arrested by the thieves, and the thieves discarded it in Zouwa Lake.

Although he couldn't understand why some bandits would dare to go to the shrine to steal Dun Wukai, but as a Takeda clan, he also felt sorry for the loss of Dun Wukai.

Who would have thought that this shieldless armor would appear in front of his eyes just today.

At this moment, he even forgot to put on his clothes, and ran to Dun Wukai, caressing this priceless treasure carefully.

"Wet." Takeda Hidenobu said in surprise, "Is it because you felt my call and flew from Zoufu Lake to see me?!"

At this time, Sanada Nobushige came to visit by coincidence, and Takeda Hidenobu's new retainer Hikoshiro Tagawa came to report, but he was also pleasantly surprised to see this national treasure.

Hikoshiro Tagawa was the former minister of Takeda. His father Nobuki Tagawa died in the battle of Nagashino early in the morning. He was only 10 years old when the Takeda family died. .

Although Hikoshiro Tagawa has never seen Dunmukai, he has heard the descriptions of his elders. After seeing Dunmukai today, he also confirmed to Takeda Hidenobu in surprise, "My lord, is this Dunmukai?"

The two ministers were immersed in the surprise of finding the shield without armor, and for a moment they forgot that Nobushige Sanada was waiting outside.

Takeda Hidenobu lived in Iwafuki Castle, but it was just an ordinary samurai house. Nobushige Sanada saw that the informant hadn't come out for a long time, so he walked in talking to himself, and saw a circle of people around Takeda Hidenobu.

You don't need to think about it, they are studying the shield without armor.

Nobushige Sanada, who knew the ins and outs, sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to continue the trick.

He coughed, calling Takeda Hidenobu's attention.After seeing that the person who came was Nobushige Sanada, he immediately took Nobushige Sanada by the hand and said, "Come on, Genjiro. You used to be the surname of Keitokuinden (Katsuyori Takeda's ring name after his death). Come and help me see this Is it a shield without armor?"

Nobushige Sanada, who had already seen it once last night, was once again forced to do business with Hidenobu Takeda. After looking at it carefully, he said with surprise, "You can't be wrong Taro, this is the shield without armor, it belongs to the Takeda family. Shield without armor, how did it come to you?"

Nobushige Sanada looked up at Hidenobu Takeda, sorted out his sentence a bit and said, "I mean, isn't the shield without armor in the Suda Tenjin Shrine in Kai? I heard that it was sunk by bandits in Zouvishu Lake some time ago, Tokugawa The family even sent people to salvage it."

Takeda Hidenobu was very happy when he heard Nobushige Sanada confirmed the authenticity of the shield, and after hearing his question, he put his hand on the shield again and said, "Feel it, Genjiro, look at this What is it?"

"." Nobushige Sanada, who knew the ins and outs, was also confused by Takeda Hidenobu. What is this? What could it be? Isn't this just a piece of armor?

"This is water! Genjiro." Seeing that Nobushige Sanada didn't understand what he meant, Hidenobu Takeda said excitedly, "I've heard the news of the missing shield for the past few days, and I've been dreaming about it every night.

There was obviously nothing here last night, but it appeared in front of me early this morning.Do you know what that means, Genjiro? "

Sanada Nobushige accompanied him and asked, "What does it represent?"

"It means that Dun Wukai felt my call, and came to us from Zouwang Lake last night, with water vapor on his body! It means that I am the empress of Takeda recognized by Dun Wukai!"

Takeda Hidenobu became more and more excited as he talked, and even danced in front of Sanada Nobushige.Inspired by him, the retainers around him also beat or sang for him.

And Nobushige Sanada stretched out his hand to the shield again, and after confirming the water stains on its body, he shook his head secretly and said, "It's a pity that those two don't write novels, and they even thought of sprinkling water on the shield."
