Chapter 1320 The Buddha Enlightened Me, and I Saw Their Origins!
The green smoke dissipated, and the pine resin had burned out. The golden talisman on the table shone with golden light, but the three people sitting around did not look at the golden talisman, but just kept silent in deep thought. After a while, Mitsuhiro Kakizaki looked at his father, Nobuhiro Takeda, performed the etiquette of prostrating himself on the ground, and said in a deep voice.
"Nobuhiro! Your Buddha's light illuminates the Bodhi tree in my heart, which has greatly benefited me... Buddha bless you! My son does not want a full warehouse of gold, but only wishes you to increase your blessings and longevity, and continue to lead the way forward for the family!..."
After saying that, Mitsuhiro Kakizaki bowed again. Nobuhiro Takeda was somewhat relieved to hear his son's blessing, but he just nodded slightly.
"Get up! No need to be polite. My son, happiness and longevity are determined by fate, but they cannot be begged."
"Yes!..."
Mitsuhiro Kakizaki stood up respectfully, looked at his father's face, pondered for a while, and then said softly.
"Father... I negotiated trade with the chief of the Shanta tribe for a day. His conversation and knowledge always hit the nail on the head. He also understands poetry and Buddhist principles and can calculate the price of goods... He doesn't look like an ordinary Shanta chief at all. Instead, he looks like a samurai who has been taught by a famous teacher and has experienced a lot. More importantly, he can write Chinese and can communicate with the elder Kudo family!..."
"Huh?! Can write Chinese, understand poetry and Buddhist principles, and is proficient in calculations?"
Hearing this, Takeda Nobuhiro was obviously stunned. He frowned and looked at Kudo Shigeyasu, but saw that the other party nodded solemnly.
"Master, this Shanta chief is definitely not a person that can be cultivated by an ordinary barbaric Shanta tribe!"
At this moment, Takeda Nobuhiro's expression became serious and much more solemn.
"You mean... there are other Japanese samurai behind the chief of the Shanta?..."
"No, no! Father, he doesn't look like a Japanese samurai! There are no other samurai clans that interfere in the Ezo land!..."
Kakizaki Mitsuhiro shook his head and explained eagerly.
"I have talked with the elder Kudo repeatedly, and have made some estimates about the origin of this Shanta tribe. Their noble origin may exceed everyone's expectations! And with such a noble origin, their ambition should not be in the Ezo land here... They have no conflict with the main family. Their plot will be in a wider place!..."
"Elder Kudo, you who discovered this big secret should explain it to father!..."
"Hi!..."
The veteran Kudo Shigeyasu kowtowed. Then, he raised his head and looked at Takeda Nobuhiro who was watching, and his face was already showing excitement.
"Master, I have been held captive by this Shanta tribe for nearly a month. Under the blessing of the Buddha, I have discovered many spider-web-like signs..."
"This Shanta tribe can write Chinese, can communicate with me in writing, and has an ancient tribal heritage! They asked me about the Ming Dynasty and the Korean Kingdom in the south, and they are very concerned about the situation in the south..."
"They have the firearms of the Yuan invaders, the large ships of the Tang people, the sturdy heavy armor, and a small number of extremely elite warriors!... And such equipment and such elites are not what ordinary Shanta tribes can have!"
"They have an unknown amount of gold reserves, but it must be very amazing! But I have never known any Shanta tribe that has the manpower and material resources to smelt so much gold, even if there is a gold mine... ”
“They don’t value the goods that the Shanta tribe likes, but instead ask for craftsmen, livestock and people, and would rather exchange them with gold. But ordinary Shanta tribes should not lack livestock, nor do they have such long-term ambitions…”
“They believe in the gods of the sky and have the guidance of noble shamans. When I asked about their origins, they called themselves the ‘bloodline of the sun and the sky’, and said that a long time ago, they were one family with the Shanta tribes in the west…”
“And more importantly! The ancestral emblem they worship is the ‘flying eagle’ holding a snake, the ‘flying bird’ engraved on the golden talisman, and the flying ‘divine eagle’! And the only one who uses the ‘divine eagle’ as a family emblem and meets all these characteristics is…”
At this point, the veteran Kudo Shigeyasu paused and took a deep breath. Then, in the solemn eyes of Takeda Nobuhiro, he shouted excitedly.
"Hachiman Bodhisattva bears witness! They are a group of Yuan invaders! They are an elite group of Yuan invaders who believe in shamanism, can write Chinese, have firearms, heavy armor, and large ships!..."
"And their noble status has been quietly revealed from the huge amount of gold they have and the symbols of those golden talismans!..."
"The Buddha has enlightened me, and I can see their origins!... They are the most noble golden clan of the Yuan invaders in the legend, with golden blood flowing in their veins! And the emblem on their golden talismans is the emblem and symbol of the Yuan invaders' royal family in the legend, the flying 'divine eagle'!..."
"!..."
Takeda Nobuhiro was shocked and could no longer sit still. He stood up suddenly, with a flash of lightning in his old eyes. He pursed his lips, walked to the secret box behind the bed, and tremblingly fumbled out several yellowed volumes of "Takeda Ancestor Volumes". Then, he quickly flipped through the volumes recording the ancestors of all generations, and finally found the records of the invasion of the Yuan invaders.
"In the sixth year of Bunei (1268), the Yuan invaders sent envoys to Kyoto and handed over the "Mongolian Letter". The letter was written in Chinese, calling himself the "Emperor of the Great Mongol Empire" and demanding the "King of Japan" to surrender..."
"In November of the same year, my ancestor "Nobutoki" led the samurai to the west to prepare for the invasion of the Yuan invaders..."
"In the second year of Kenji (1276), our ancestor Nobutoki was promoted to the guardian of Aki for his accumulated military exploits. Among his many military exploits, the most important one was his defeat of the Yuan invaders' main clan and the capture of the Mongolian military flag! On the flag there was a flying eagle. According to the captured Yuan invaders, this was the family emblem of the Golden Family, and it was the 'divine eagle' raised by 'Bodanchar', the ancestor of the Mongolian tribes, after being exiled!..."
Takeda Nobuhiro's fingers trembled a little, and he lingered on this last sentence for a long time. The veteran Kudo Shigeyasu and the young master Kakizaki Mitsuhiro looked at each other, and together they brought a piece of the kingdom's golden talisman to the head of the family. Takeda Nobuhiro turned his head and saw the "hummingbird" emblem on the golden talisman. His pupils shrank instantly, and his hand pressed on the emblem of the main god, trembling and stroking it.
After a while, Takeda Nobuhiro spoke in a low voice with an old and dry voice.
"Kudo, Mitsuhiro... what do you mean..."
"The flying bird on this emblem... is that divine eagle?... The divine eagle of the Golden Family?..."
"And this mountain tribe rich in gold and of unknown origin... is a branch of the Golden Family among the Yuan invaders? They fled to the snowy plains of the far north? And then came to Ezo?..."
"This is just my and the young master's guess... Master!..."
The veteran Kudo Shigeyasu knelt down again and saluted respectfully. Then, instead of using a guessing tone, he suppressed the excitement of discovering a top secret and stated it affirmatively.
"Buddha is my witness! Patriarch, apart from the Golden Clan of the Yuan invaders, which other Shantar tribe can possess such a huge amount of gold! That can only be the secret gold treasure taken from the Tang Dynasty when the Yuan invaders were at their peak!... I guess they were one of the many Golden Clans that were chased by the Ming Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, so they had to flee to the extreme north, to the snowfields further north of the extreme north sea..."
"Not only those firearms, large ships and armored soldiers have verified this... Even the Chinese they know... Apart from the truly noble Golden Clan, which other Shantar tribe can master the difficult Chinese?..."
"And they hid in the snowfields of the extreme north for so long just to avoid the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty. Until the power of the Ming people came from the west, The Shanta land was completely shrunk, and suddenly appeared at this moment... They reopened a huge amount of gold secrets, eagerly traded craftsmen, and gathered tribes everywhere... Their style is completely different from ordinary Shanta tribes, and their ambitions are definitely not small! ..."
"Buddha! In the eyes of me, the young master, and the elder of the Atsugu family. The origin of this "Shanta clan" is the Golden Clan of the Yuan invaders! And their intention to contact us is also easy to guess... That is to absorb craftsmen and farmers from their own country, and then re-establish a kingdom in the Shanta land in the west, a kingdom of the Yuan invaders' Golden Clan! ..."
Note: The first egg chapter is the "Mongolian State Letter" from the Yuan Dynasty to the Muromachi shogunate, which is written in Chinese and has been collected to this day. In the two Yuan troops that attacked the country, there were a large number of Southern Song surrendered troops, and they also used Chinese. This left a deep impression on the people of the country.
The second egg chapter is the emblem of the Mongolian Golden Family, which is also the most important Mongolian military flag. The "Divine Eagle" is painted on it, and when the flag is hanging down, it looks like the main god "Hummingbird".
