The afterglow of the sunset fell on the island in Central Sichuan.

Seeing that night was coming soon, Takeda Xinxuan refused the proposal of several senior generals to continue to pursue. He didn't want to drag the war into the scope of night war, so he ordered to blow the Faluo horn of withdrawal.

As the Faluo sounded, the exhausted Takeda army finally stopped. Obviously, as the night fell, the Takeda army didn't want to continue fighting.

Under the command and control of Shangshan Qianxin of the Vietnamese rear army, the retreat was not in a panic, and all teams of people and horses returned one after another. Shanguang temple, which had been received by troops and horses for a long time, rested.

After a day's hard work, Takeda army gradually returned to the formation of bafanyuan. The soldiers turn over the heads cut in the battle and the military pay items register them in a special head register.

After the war, celebrities usually hold a head review ceremony. If there are soldiers who have captured a lot of heads or killed the other samurai, Takeda Xinxuan himself will be summoned in person. After seeing the head level, Xinxuan will praise the person, and take out the gold to reward him on the spot according to the head level value.

The Takeda family has Jinshan support, and Takeda Xinxuan is not a stingy monarch, so the reward is quite generous.

After reviewing the head, there will be a celebration ceremony. Although the Takeda army suffered heavy casualties, it is difficult to call it a victory. But generally speaking, if you are invincible, you will win. Anyway, after Vietnam's military, you will certainly publicize that you have won a great victory.

As for who wins and who loses, as well as the gains and losses, both sides are well aware of each other. After a series of subsequent celebration ceremonies, Takeda Xinxuan thanked the soldiers for their hard work, and finally publicly announced the victory of the Takeda family in the joint battle of Chuanzhong island.

Countless soldiers under the stage raised the tip of the gun at the bottom of their hands and cheered in unison.

"Takeda family will win!"

"Hey, hey!"

"Takeda is powerful!"

"Hey, hey!"

Amid the cheers of the troops, Li Xiao, who was in a bad mood because of Xinfan's serious injury, couldn't help being infected and raised his long gun and shouted loudly.

"Takeda is powerful!"

"Hey, hey!"

The next day, the Takeda army began to clean the battlefield, pick up the remaining weapons and bury the bodies in order to prevent the plague in this area. Most of those bodies had been cut off. The soldiers of the Takeda army lined up the bodies one by one and buried them along the edge of the field. The first level dug a big pit, built one by one, arranged at the bottom of the pit like the stone constant of the city wall, and finally covered with earth.

After burying the dead, the Takeda family invited the nearby monks to do a Dharma. Xinxuan himself also participated in it to help the dead.

The army returned to Haijin city for rest. Xinxuan ordered his subordinates to inform the haos of Xinnong to the north of the victory of the joint war on the island in Central Sichuan, and explained that the forces of the Vietnamese rear army had withdrawn from Xinnong. Now it is taken over by the Takeda family. If there is any objection, the Takeda family will send troops to levy.

After that, Xinxuan issued an blocking certificate and a certificate of thanks.

An Duzheng is a territorial guarantee issued by Daming to his ministers. If Beixin Nonghao clan agrees to accept Takeda's rule and hand over the hostages. Then Takeda shinxuan will issue a security certificate to ensure his existing territory.

This is also the way that Daming always ruled the region in the Warring States period. There are hundreds of big and small haos in Xinnong. It would be unrealistic to capture the past one by one. Daming can only be restricted in such a loose way.

In addition to the blocking form, the Daming bestowed territory will also issue Wanxing form. Wan Xing shape is generally used to praise military achievements and give directly subordinate territory to military generals. An Du shape is only to ensure the existing territory.

The certificate of thanks is given to the family minister by the big name, and the warrior proves his achievements. Li Xiao also received a certificate of thanks for his outstanding performance in this war.

The letter reads:

On the 10th of this month, when fighting with Shangshan Zhenghu on Chuanzhong island in Xinzhou, Zhongxin's heroic performance made me very satisfied and achieved my wishes for many years. I will never forget his sense of honor, loyalty and military achievements. I hope to make further efforts and strive to be loyal later.

Li Xiao took a thin piece of paper and looked at it horizontally and vertically. The thank-you note did not mention any fief or any actual reward except that it was full of comfortable praise. And he didn't mention that Li Xiao saved Takeda Xinxuan, which made Li Xiao a little wonder. At this time, Takeda shenglai came to his camp.

Seeing that Takeda shenglai's face was not good, Li Xiao asked, "are you still worried about the injury of Xin Fangong?"

Takeda shenglai shook his head and said, "uncle's injury is generally healed. Now we just need to rest. There should be no problem."

Li Xiao couldn't help but be happy, and then said, "that's good." however, seeing that Takeda shenglai was still unhappy, he asked, "is there anything to worry about?"

Takeda shenglai raised his head. The whole person seemed to have been evacuated and said, "I heard the news. My father's meaning is to let me change my surname to Suwa visit and inherit Suwa visit's family business."

This news is expected for Li Xiao.

During the Kamakura shogunate period, the ruling Beitiao tezong issued a "general order on property", ordering that only the eldest son of the Wu family could inherit the family property, and the other sons could not inherit it.

Such as the other brothers of the eldest son, the second son, the third son and so on, they will become the family ministers of their brothers and serve their brothers. For example, Takeda family, Takeda Xinfan and Takeda Xinlian helped his brother Takeda Xinxuan as family ministers.

Others with bad luck can only be sent to become monks.

This was well implemented in the Warring States period. Sometimes famous masters arranged for their eldest son to inherit the supervisor, and considered a new way for their other sons, that is, to be stepsons and inherit other rich families to inherit their family property.

This is because it is different from the Chinese concept of kinship. The Japanese concept is to ignore kinship and emphasize family business. As long as they can maintain their family name and ensure the continuity of their family business, their family ministers and warriors who work for the Wu family do not care whether the current owner is the direct blood relative of the previous owner, as long as he changes his surname.

For example, the famous Maori two Sichuan system, known as "the first wise general of the Warring States period", maoliyuan first adopted his three sons to the xiaozaochuan family, renamed xiaozaochuan Longjing, and inherited the xiaozaochuan family in Murata. Later, he passed on his second son to an yihaoqiang Jichuan's family, renamed Jichuan, and Yuanchun inherited Jichuan's family.

But the process of inheriting his family was also bloody. When Yoshikawa inherited the Yoshikawa family in Yuanchun, Yoshikawa Xingjing, the then Lord of Yoshikawa family, was forced to live in seclusion. Later, he himself and his son master Qian were later killed by the Maori family.

Of course, if you adopt other families' businesses and even change your surname, it means that you lose the qualification to inherit your own supervisor, and your own family business has nothing to do with you.

Takeda shenglai glanced at Li Xiao and said, "it's because shenglai is incompetent and can't inherit Takeda's family business. Sir, you have the talent of heaven and earth. You're inferior here. Please leave shenglai."

Retreat for advance?

Li Xiao estimated the motive behind Takeda shenglai's words, and then speculated. But I like these flattery.

Li Xiao made up his mind and said, "Your Highness shenglai, have you been discouraged by your temporary disappointment? You really disappoint me."

"But?"

Without waiting for Takeda shenglai to speak, Li Xiao continued: "don't you admire Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms most? Liu Bei spent half his life, got his foundation at the age of 50, and finally became the overlord. You're just a talent and a long time to come. You can't give up easily, otherwise there's really no chance."

Takeda shenglai's eyes flashed and said, "is there any way for Mr. Wu Fei to help me run the Takeda family?" as soon as the words came out, Takeda shenglai seemed to feel that he had made a mistake, but he still looked at Li Xiao eagerly.

Li Xiao smiled modestly, pretended to know everything in his chest, and said calmly: "don't worry, I don't expect there will be changes in the Takeda family in four or five years. If you abandon yourself at that time, you really can't seize any chance."

Takeda shenglai was skeptical when he heard Li Xiao say so, but he still said in a deep voice, "Sir, shenglai listens to you."

Li Xiao's confidence naturally comes from his grasp of the history of the Warring States period. According to historical records, in 1567, Takeda Yixin and fan fuhuchang prepared to rebel and exile Takeda Xinxuan, but the matter was exposed. As a result, fan fuhuchang committed suicide, Takeda Yixin was placed under house arrest, and then died. The final inheritance right of the Takeda family unexpectedly fell into the hands of Takeda shenglai.
