A Tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 111 35. Echigo Arima Mei Hyakudan

After seeing that Naoe Kagetsuna was fine, everyone turned their attention back to the horse. Seeing that he rushed into Kasugayama Town, they hurriedly prepared to chase the horse. If he hit someone, it might be a big deal.

Kobayata had no choice but to ride his Kiso packhorse back to Kasugayama Town, but the people in the stable looked for the horse everywhere but couldn't find it. They asked around and only knew that the horse ran into the city, but Kasugayama is so big, a town with 20,000 people, how could they find it in a hurry.

Just when they were at a loss, a groom came running to report that the horse actually rushed straight to the mountain city.

My God, it's over if it hits Uesugi Terutora. Everyone rushed to the foot of the city, but saw an incredible scene. Uesugi Terutora actually rode the horse and slowly walked down the steps of the mountain city. The horse didn't look unruly at all, and was as docile as an old cow, not jumping or making a fuss.

Everyone saw Uesugi Terutora and quickly dismounted. Some knelt on the ground, some bowed their heads, and the most important thing was to pay respect.

Uesugi Terutora first saw Koyata and said, "Koyata, why are you in Echigo?"

Koyata smiled bitterly and pointed at the horse under Uesugi Terutora's crotch, "I wanted to buy two war horses, but you can see that this horse is too fierce and ran to the city for fun."

"Hahaha, did Yamato-no-kami pick it for you?" Uesugi Terutora nodded to Naoe Kagetsuna, "That's not the case. I was originally looking at an ordinary war horse, and I just wanted to take a look at this one." Koyata explained.

Uesugi Terutora looked at the stable owner who was still kneeling on the ground: "Is this horse yours?" The stable owner quickly agreed. "It's a good horse, with a strong horsepower." The stable owner saw that Uesugi Terutora liked it, "I'm willing to give it to His Highness, I'm willing to give it to His Highness." The stable owner was overjoyed and wanted to use this horse to please Uesugi Terutora.

This kind of opportunity is rare. He is just a businessman. He may not even meet Uesugi Terutora at ordinary times. If he can take this opportunity to get close to Uesugi Terutora, his business will be thousands of times smoother. In this era, collusion between officials and businessmen is the best way to make money, especially in the environment of Japan, where you can only get along well if you have a protective umbrella.

Uesugi Terutora could not understand the thoughts of such a mercenary. He waved his hand and said, "Get up. I want this horse, but I won't take it for nothing. I will pay you according to the price." Soon, Uesugi Terutora's attendant brought a bag of gold. Uesugi Terutora weighed it slightly and said, "Here is 150 taels of gold. Take it." The boss kept saying no, but in the end, Uesugi Terutora's attendant stuffed it into his arms.

The businessman wanted to say something, but Uesugi Terutora glanced at him. The businessman quickly shut up and thanked him repeatedly.

"If you have something to do, you can report to Kasugayama Magistrate Shinyo Sanjo. Leave." The businessman had to leave in a submissive manner. As for whether he can take this opportunity to hook up with Kamiya Chikatuna and tie up the chariot of the Uesugi family with some tricks, it depends on the ability of this businessman.

Kobayata was surprised at the price of the horse. What kind of horse is so expensive? One hundred and fifty kanwen. This is one hundred and fifty taels of gold. If necessary, you can recruit a few swordsmen to serve you for a year. If it were now, you could buy several Mercedes-Benz and BMW. But here you can only buy a fierce horse. It stands to reason that Uesugi Terutora, who knows horses so well, would not give the wrong money. Is this horse so good?

Uesugi Terutora handed the reins to the attendant and asked him to lead it. He called Kobayata and Naoe Keitsugu and went straight to the playground under the city.

It turned out that the horse really rushed to the foot of Kasugayama Castle along the road, and it rushed all the way. Kasugayama is also a large town with a dense population. In the end, the frightened horse ran back to the main street of Kasugayama, which is naturally facing the gate of Kasugayama. Now it is not wartime, the gates are not closed, only a dozen foot soldiers are on guard at the gates, they are caught off guard, suddenly see a frightened horse rushing, before they can intercept it, the horse takes advantage of its strong horsepower and rushes in at once.

This time it startled the inside of the city, and the horse still rushed up the steps. Fortunately, the steps in Kasugayama Castle are not straight up and down, but are set in a zigzag shape, which is not only for the convenience of defense, but also for the people who climb the city to walk less panic. (If it is straight up and down, the inclination is also unparalleled. There are pictures of Kasugayama Castle on the Internet. You can search and see that it is indeed a winding mountain castle)

At that time, Uesugi Terutora was in the residence on the mountainside. He did not live in the castle tower on the top of the mountain very often. Maybe the residence on the mountainside is more suitable for living. He was reading the documents reported by the local government, and suddenly heard a chaotic shouting. He came out and saw a horse with a completely black body and shiny fur galloping up the steps to the city. He was a skilled and daring man, and his horsemanship was extremely superb. He was so excited to see the prey that he jumped onto the horse when the steps turned and the horse was also turning. He held the horse's neck and climbed more than a hundred steps to the top of Kasuga Mountain, exhausting its horsepower. He stopped making a fuss and was actually dealt with by Uesugi Terutora.

When they arrived at the playground, Uesugi Terutora asked Koyata to ride it to see. Koyata refused again and again, and finally reluctantly got on the horse with the help of his followers (yes, the horse was looking down at Koyata). Fortunately, the horse was really tamed, and Koyata rode it very well, without any resistance at all.

And the horse was so majestic, tall and majestic, and Koyata thought it was really good. But this was already Uesugi Terutora's horse, so he was going to take it for a ride.

After jumping off the horse, Uesugi Terutora saw Koyata's happy expression and saw what Koyata was thinking. "I'll give it to you."

"No, no, this is yours, Your Majesty. You deserve such a fine horse." Kobayata still has some points. Seeing how Uesugi Terutora rides this horse, he must like it very much. How can he take it?

"Hahahaha, I already have a horse called Fangsheng Yuemao. This one is for you. No need to refuse." Uesugi Terutora handed the reins to Kobayata, who wanted to refuse. Naoesuke Kagetsuna also let Kobayata accept it, and then said to Uesugi Terutora: "Since the lord is going to give it to Kobayata, he should give it a good name."

"Yes, yes. Let me think about it." Uesugi Terutora touched the horse's mane and thought about it. "Let's call it Baidan. This is a fine horse that can run up more than a hundred steps of Kasuga Mountain in one breath."

Everyone must applaud and cheer. You are the biggest, and whatever you say is fine. Of course, Kobayata also cheered together.

"Koyata, let's go. You are in Echigo. Did Yamato-no-kami treat you well?"

Koyata thought to himself that it was more than a good treat. I almost became his son-in-law. Then he led Hyakudan and Uesugi Terutora back to the city.

First, there is a group, 921.253.966. Secondly, a public apology. The book of the writer I dissed last time is on the shelves. I stubbornly believed that this book was also a retard book because of his low-intelligence stallion in his first book. But after reading it, except that he is like a male dog in heat and wants to get on a woman when he sees her, the plot and writing have changed a lot. I am biased. I apologize again.
