Long Ye knocked on his head and said that this was really the case. He completely underestimated the madness of these Japanese samurai. Even the samurai of the million-stone daimyo family with noble surnames were so crazy. If they really encountered a group of wild samurai kneeling on their knees, A caesarean section is about to take place on the ground, what should I do?
After all, this is not a battlefield where the two armies are fighting. If the opponent is a life-and-death enemy, Long Ye will not even blink if he chops them into meat paste. But these Japanese are samurai who have no grievances and no grudges, and all they want is for themselves. Just loyalty.
But there are only a thousand opportunities, and there are no less than a hundred thousand fanatical warriors. Could it be that every step he takes, he will encounter a group of lunatics who will plead with him, and even threaten him with death? It is a miscalculation, it is really a miscalculation.
The method of sneaking in disguise simply doesn't work. Long Ye and his group thought that their disguise was very successful, but in the eyes of the Japanese, there were too many doubts. More importantly...
"Lord Xiang, how can any businessman in the world have a road guide issued by the shogunate? Hachiman Bodhisattva, how can the road guide signed by two masters not attract attention? We only spent two copper coins. I got information from the soldiers at each level..."
"Master Xiang, didn't you find that those soldiers were a little too respectful? If my guess is correct, a new group of warriors have come from behind, and there is not much time left for you to prepare... …”
With a bang, Lord Long gave Maori a dollar and Shimazu Asuka each lost their minds. "Baga, if you didn't tell me this is such an important thing earlier, if this was on the battlefield, I would have to shoot you..."
"Tell me what we should do. If we can't come up with a solution, I won't let you..." Mr. Long began to threaten.
"Master Xiang, you can no longer hide your identity. Japan is a nation that values superiority and inferiority. If you refuse, let the local daimyo be the villain..."
"Going all the way north from Tsuruga, you can give escort orders to the daimyo families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. I believe that as long as you ask them, they will send people to protect you like crazy. All troubles will be solved by them. For example, Kanazawa, not far away, is the territory of the Maeda family, which was the 1.2 million-koku daimyo of the Warring States Period."
"Sir, you are the imperial envoy sent by the superior country to select soldiers. There is no need to personally assess thousands of warriors. That is not what a superior should do. You should leave some selection rights to the local daimyo. They will not hide their secrets. , all the major families are actually eager to send their best talents to the Prime Minister's command... because that is the brightest path that the entire Japanese samurai class can see now."
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu It’s driving the entire Japanese samurai class crazy..."
"Don't worry, all the great celebrities will bring out the best talents in their families. All you have to do is maintain your majesty."
After listening to the words of the two people, Sister Wu also spoke: "They are right. Here you must show the majesty of a general. The Chinese method of undressing and pushing food does not apply here. Instead, gentle rule will Counterproductive.”
Mr. Long frowned and said, "If this is the case, as you said, the opportunity will be seized by the high-ranking families again, and those wild warriors will really have no future in their lives..."
"Master Xiang, how long have you been thinking about this? How can there be real fairness in this world? You are already a saint if you can be relatively fair... What's more, if you think about it carefully, is it true that only high-ranking families can do this? How can illiterate warriors with advanced education quickly accept new tactics and weapons?"
"Why did Prime Minister Xiao work so hard to make the soldiers literate in Ryukyu? Do you want to go in the opposite direction and continue to find a group of blind people to complete the Prime Minister's mission?"
Mr. Long finally compromised, "Moori Ichigen, Shimazu Asuka, you two ride horses to Kanazawa and inform the Maeda family to get ready. I will stay in Kanazawa tonight, where I will carry the banner of the Ryukyu New Army... …”
"Hai..." The two of them knelt down to receive the military order, then turned around and got on their horses and headed north along the post road to Kanazawa.
It only took half a day for Tsuruga to get to Kanazawa by horse. Now that he had given up pretending, Lord Long ordered the salt, kelp, cotton and other goods to be distributed directly to the mountain people, and then Toma transformed into a war horse and headed north straight to Kanazawa.
In the middle, a book friend from an external website asked whether the author would receive the money he spent for reading. I would like to reiterate here that I can only receive royalties from internal readers, and I have not received any from other websites.
Since some sites delete what the author said, I have no choice but to insert it in the middle of the text. I'm extremely sorry.
More than a dozen war horses passed by the post road in a trembling manner. This scene had not appeared for two hundred years. The local soldiers were shocked and stunned, and many villages sounded the alarm.
But when the checkpoint soldiers saw the general documents issued by Edo, they all knelt on the ground and did not dare to stop them. Maori Yiyuan and the others were right. When Long Ye's identity was exposed, he would encounter a series of troubles.
From the post roads and villages and towns, wild samurai and bandits often rushed out with tattered clothes but swords in their waists. They knelt on the roadside and prayed to the imperial envoy to take them away.
At this time, Mr. Long didn't dare to pay attention to them. Once these brown candies got on them, they couldn't get rid of them. The only way to do this was to speed up and rush over, ignoring all the pleadings.
Seeing a group of fierce knights with angry horses and dragons rolling away in smoke, the abandoned wild warriors did not complain at all. Instead, they felt that the Imperial Envoy of the Imperial Kingdom should have such a demeanor. They were all figures who could discuss important matters with the shogun. It should naturally have a symmetrical look.
Sir, don't just chase them. Japanese soldiers are famous for being able to run, and they are very good at running on mountain roads. They can always take small paths in the mountains to catch up. Even though Long Ye and the others are riding horses, these hanging-boot ghosts can't be much slower.
There were already more and more wild warriors. When the sky turned dark, Ryūye and the others could vaguely see the tall walls of Kanazawa Castle. There were actually hundreds of panting wild warriors chasing after them, and the number was even increasing gradually.
"Oh my god, how can they run away like this?" Mr. Long was a little in disbelief.
Sister Wu smiled and said, "Japan has many mountains and few horses. It is impossible to survive without a pair of iron feet. Moreover, they are familiar with the mountain roads, so taking shortcuts will definitely save a lot of time..."
At this moment, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded in front, and a torch flowed out of Kanazawa City like a river of fire. The setting sun in the west just cast the last piece of golden light, and the entire Kanazawa City was a beautiful mess.
"Minister of the lower country...Lord of Kaga Domain...Maeda Qingning pays homage to the imperial envoy of the upper country." Amid the roar, a young man rushed over from Kanazawa Castle on horseback. As soon as he reached Lord Long, he turned over and dismounted, bowing at ninety degrees. All due respect.
