Chinese medicine emphasizes detoxification, not suppression. This is very scientific. If there is a boil under the skin, it must be broken and pus will flow out to ensure that it does not recur. If the bone marrow is cold, it still needs to be heated and drained to heal.
The same is true for people's hearts. We cannot suppress negative emotions in our hearts. We must learn to quarrel appropriately between people. Every conflict is a process of detoxification, and it is also inevitable for mutual adjustment.
After the quarrel between Mr. Long and Sister Wu, it was like the energy accumulated by a hurricane in the Pacific Ocean in summer was exhausted, and the subsequent journey turned calm.
They are serious and unsmiling in official matters, and have no communication in private. The two of them are like two cold cogs, working together for the sake of work, without any personal emotions or even friendship.
The Kirigakure kid has her own life insights, and Long Ye also has his own beliefs to support him. No one can convince anyone, and no one will bow to anyone. Since there are still important tasks ahead of him, there is no need to talk nonsense and concentrate on work. .
Mr. Long stopped taunting him along the way, and Sister Wu also stopped attacking her hypocrite. The group quickly entered the Seto Inland Sea and changed to a small boat in Osaka Harbor. They did not disembark from Osaka Pier, but went directly to Kaimachi.
Osaka Castle has now become a paradise for wild samurai. The samurai from southern Japan who know the news are coming to gather one after another. The famous family samurai live in their own properties or dormitories, while the impoverished wild samurai can only succumb. In ruins of temples, shrines and ruins.
When there are more people, various conflicts will arise. In the past few days, the price of rice in Osaka Castle has skyrocketed, private fights have occurred one after another on the streets, and there have even been conflicts between family samurai and wild samurai.
Of course, the shogunate would not sit idly by. Two thousand troops soon arrived as reinforcements, patrolling Osaka day and night. They explained to them over and over again that officials sent by Ryukyu would not necessarily come to Osaka. Please don't believe the rumors. .
Unfortunately, it has little effect. This is how people are. When they have an urgent desire that needs to be solved, they will become very gullible. The reason why there is a market for rumors is because people have strong desires in their hearts.
You asked us not to assemble in Osaka, so please tell me where Long Ye will disembark. Look, our information is not completely unknown. We at least know that the person in charge of recruiting troops this time is the number one master around Prime Minister Xiao Long. I also have the Kirigakure brat who jumped ship.
These samurai refused to listen to advice, and everyone in this group actually had a guide opened by a local daimyo, which blocked the shogunate's excuse for expulsion.
The rumors were true. Long Ye and the others did intend to disembark from Osaka, but when they learned that Osaka had been surrounded by samurai from South Japan, the plan had to change.
Master Long has a personal grudge against Sister Wu, but he knows the difference between official and private affairs. Master Long will still accept Sister Wu's suggestion. The focus of this recruitment is on the samurai of northern Japan, and most of them are under the command of foreign daimyo.
One is that they are more adaptable to the cold climate, and the second is that these subordinates who look like daimyo have a more urgent desire to change their destiny.
Master Long and Sister Wu each wore Japanese raincoats, quietly landed ashore with their guards, disguised themselves as a caravan and started heading north. Their first target was Kaga Domain and Kanazawa.
It was unbelievable in the eyes of Master Long that the Maeda family, which was worth 1.2 million koku in Kaga, was just a name in appearance. Shouldn't the Tokugawa family be eradicated with such an enemy? But he was not prepared to ask the Kirigakure brat. , the last quarrel has made Mr. Long have a long memory, this crazy woman is not easy to mess with.
The group of people took the road opened by the shogunate and used it all over Japan, and smoothly left Kaicho and headed north towards Lake Biwa.
At this time, Osaka was already surrounded by impatience. The streets were full of anxious samurai, and there were fierce wild samurai competing at the intersection. Maybe they expected the big shots in Ryukyu to accidentally discover their superb swordsmanship.
On the second floor of the izakaya, six or seven samurai looked at the noisy wild samurai on the street from the window, and smiled contemptuously, "Yaga...a bunch of idiots."
Putting down the bamboo curtain, the two young men who looked like leaders began to toast each other, and everyone around them looked up to them.
Mouri Yigen, a collateral samurai of the Choshu Domain Maori family. Although he is an orthodox Maori family, the Maori family has spread out over the past few hundred years. There are already many such collateral descendants, and they cannot inherit any business in the family. , in addition to learning kanji, arithmetic, kendo, judo and other necessary survival skills for warriors through family studies when they were young, the rest can only be fought on their own.
Shimazu Asuka, a collateral samurai of the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain, is very similar to the situation of Mouri Yigen. He has pure blood but does not have any inheritance rights. Samurai like them dream of war breaking out.
War can give military exploits, and military exploits are the only way to improve one's life and social status. Moreover, their childhood education is all about preparing for war. If samurai don't fight, how can they compete in farming? Although they can also farm, but in their hearts The blood of a warrior still flows.
"Ichigen-kun, we have been waiting in Osaka for four days. Mr. Xiang should have arrived at the normal speed. Is there really a problem with our intelligence?" Shimazu Asuka sighed.
"No, Mr. Asuka, there is no problem with the intelligence. The crux of the problem is that the plan cannot keep up with the changes. The Chinese idiom is to wait and wait. We have become stupid farmers."
Mouri Yigen leaned into Shimazu Asuka's ear and whispered, "Have you seen those idiots competing outside? They think that by defeating each other, they can reduce one competitor. Baga... What an idiot."
"Before I left, I once placed the wise man of the Choshu Domain, Ito Hirobumi-kun, who was praised by the Prime Minister and was half-acknowledged as a disciple. The number one most respected by the Prime Minister in Japan is Ryoma-sama. , and second is Ito-kun..."
Shimazu Asuka's eyes suddenly lit up, "What did Ito Hirobumi say? Seeing that your family and I are allies, and seeing that you and I join forces to kill wild samurai and bandits, please feel free to enlighten me."
Several samurai from the Shimazu family knelt on the tatami and saluted respectfully, "Please give me your advice."
Maori Yiyuan smiled, "Information is not given for free. My father gave Ito Hirobumi-kun a stunning maid, and then I got his advice... I lost a beautiful woman, this..."
Shimazu Asuka raised his head and smiled, with a look in his eyes that only men can understand: "Don't worry, Ichigen-kun, as long as you and I can join the Prime Minister, women are nothing... As long as you open your mouth, three stunning beauties will be delivered to you sooner or later. "
"A gentleman's words, a whip of a horse..." The two of them took up their wine cups and drank a glass of turbid wine together.
