【If you must die, you must live, if you must live, you must die】
Japan, Fushimi Castle.
A thin old man with a pale face was writing at his desk. The handwriting was square and in Chinese characters.
As if he felt something in his heart, he suddenly turned his gaze to the northwest and made a prediction for the next battle.
Then, gently cough up a few mouthfuls of bloody sputum.
Perhaps this sentence also alludes to one's own destiny.
More than ten years ago, he had sworn to be loyal to the successor of his master Oda Nobunaga, but in the end he could not resist the temptation and broke his promise to seize power into his own hands.
Today, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who is admired by young noble warriors such as Shimazu Tadatsune, feels guilty because he is also about to die soon and it is difficult to cure him with medicine or stone.
But what should I do with my young son?
Will Tokugawa, Maeda, and even other daimyo serve him loyally and promise never to betray him?
Half of Hideyoshi's mind was distracted by the war, and half of his mind was devoted to his youngest son.
A lot of money and power were invested in the magnificent Fushimi Castle in front of him, but in Hideyoshi's eyes, it was far inferior to the "Shi" born of his beloved concubine Yododen.
Because, after losing the two-year-old Hematsu, this boy became the only heir to the Toyotomi family.
Before that, Hideyoshi once thought that he would not have another son, so he appointed his nephew, 24-year-old adopted son Hideji, as Kanbai. Even though he was useless, he was often criticized for unprovoked killings, and he was known as Killing Kanbai - —
Wandering around the countryside carrying an iron cannon, he saw an old farmer working and became interested, so he shot him.
When practicing shooting, they impromptuly capture travelers passing by and tie them up to use as targets.
In order to practice swordsmanship, pregnant women were cut open.
Because Xiuji was connected to his own blood, Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't care about this, but with the birth of "Shi", everything changed.
One night, Sesshōkan Haku disappeared completely, and his head was circulated to Kyoto. From that moment on, all the daimyo in Japan knew that Lord Taikaku had a real heir, a nicknamed "Shi" and his real name was "Hideyori" "Boy.
At this moment, except for a piece of writing on the desktop, all the rest was filled with letters.
【Is Shi’s health getting better and better? 】
[Did he drink milk? Please let Shi drink enough milk and take good care of him. You should eat more to ensure adequate nutrition. 】
[Don’t give me the noble mugwort for use. If you let someone use it for him, that would be a crime! 】
Due to the war, Hideyoshi had to leave his child in the first year of his life, and he could only use this commanding tone to ask his concubine Yodono to take good care of him.
In recent years, Hideyoshi has even used the title of "Taiko Father" to write letters to his young son. The letters are filled with pride and love for the child's gradual growth.
[I am very happy that you wrote me a letter right away. I plan to leave some free time and go back quickly. Because you like masks, I have sent people to find some as gifts, even from the Ming Dynasty. 】
[Because I love you so much, I will go back and kiss your lips.
I'm sad because I didn't say goodbye to you when I left yesterday. I think you feel the same way and I will never complain about it here again. I am writing this letter because I love you deeply. 】
[In order to prepare for the festival, you gave me a curtain and many clothes. I am very happy. I will wear them and wish you a happy and long life. When the day comes, I will go back and kiss you. It's so good.
I will go back at the end of the year. I will kiss your lips, they belong to me and no one can kiss them, not even just a little bit. I can imagine that you are getting better and better. 】
Hideyoshi sorted out the letters he had exchanged with his son in the past few years and placed them in the most conspicuous place so that he could read and recall them at any time.
Now, he is dying soon, and Hideyori took the initiative to send a letter. The letter said that four playmates bullied him and were unwilling to follow instructions.
Therefore, after practicing calligraphy, Hideyoshi immediately wrote back to his son, telling him how to keep the power in his hands, especially after his death.
[Those four boys violated your wishes. This is something that is absolutely unforgivable. Tell your mother, and then tie these four guys up with straw ropes until your father comes back to you.
When I go back, I will beat them all to death! 】
Put down the pen and review the reply.
Through this letter, Hideyoshi seemed to see the future. He kept coughing, swallowed the blood that came up in big mouthfuls, and then wiped the blood with his Chinese clothes.
Will the daimyo who swore eternal loyalty to the Toyotomi family really do this? In the past few years, he has ordered the powerful daimyo under his command to swear an oath to Hideyori again and again.
But these ambitious people are actually just like me!
"No, I can't die! I want to see Hideyori grow up, get a wife and have children, and become Japan's new crown prince."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes flashed with ferocity and a trace of fear. He thought of his own nephew, Seki Shiro Hideji, who was ordered to be executed.
After ordering Hideji and his retainers to commit suicide by caesarean section, Hideyoshi ordered the executioner to execute his nephew's wives, concubines, and children in order to consolidate his power for his son.
In a place called Santiaoheyuan, the children were first dragged out of the prison car and executed, followed by the women. They were led over one by one, knelt on the ground, beheaded, and then buried in a deep pit.
Hideyoshi still clearly remembers that he specially ordered a temple to be built on it to remove resentment and evil spirits, and a stone tablet was erected:
【Hidetsuji Evil Tomb】
If Hideyori is overthrown by the daimyo after his death, his fate will definitely not be much better than Hidetsu's.
Because of this, Hideyoshi resisted death, and streams of fishy black substance flowed in his eyes.
"If I can expand my territory and seize more luck, I! I can still survive!"
A crazy idea flashed in his mind, just like a gambler who never lacks courage when he loses.
the other side.
Shimazu Tadahashi, who led eight hundred Satsuma warriors, did not realize that a heavy burden fell on his shoulders.
Because the upcoming battle in Namwon, Jeolla Province will be the first head-to-head confrontation between Japan and Ming since the war broke out again, which is of great significance.
But Zhongheng was very confident now. He looked to his side and said in a deep voice:
"No matter how powerful the enemy is, he will become a weak sheep in front of the manifestation flow."
"You're right."
Tang Chuan immediately agreed.
Hundreds of miles away, in the mountains and forests.
Lu Li locked onto the aura coming from the front, holding the iron halberd in his hand, and waited silently.
The black-maned horse kicked its hooves. It was not afraid, but excited. After a long time, it finally appeared on the battlefield again!
As for life and death?
It's not far from being ignored, but it's not far off.
Anyway, it can be resurrected.
Moreover, with the master's strength, there is absolutely no chance of him getting stuck here.
"The demons and wild gods beside Suxing Ridge and Liao River are willing to cooperate with the government and army to add a chance of victory to the situation. Unfortunately, they arrived too late. Tunshan Ridge has been slaughtered."
Smelling the smell of blood getting closer and closer, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, he took out a piece of white paper from his arms.
This is a handwritten calligraphy written by a great Confucian, and can summon more than a hundred soldiers in golden armor to increase his prestige.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Li had no intention of using this thing to kill the enemy. He whispered in his heart:
The first battle must be successful and won happily.
Close your eyes.
Build momentum.
Just like that, silence fell all around.
Midway, a cricket jumped on Lu Li's shoulder, and then jumped away quickly. It didn't realize that the thing it just stepped on was actually a living thing.
"coming."
I don’t know how much time passed before the black-maned horse suddenly spoke.
Lu Li also opened his eyes.
Behind him, a sky-blue wolf synchronized with him.
"War spirit? General Ming Dynasty? Only a hundred people dare to attack?"
Shimazu Tadashi sounded excited.
Next to him, Tang Chuan's eyes were full of surprise.
Looking for the stars and the moon, I finally saw the savior, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon.
It seems that the boss values me very much!
This guy imagined too many unrealistic scenarios. In the eyes of the Japanese, his expression was definitely suspicious, but they didn't care at the moment.
The two forces collided head-on, and in an instant, a strong killing aura appeared, filling the space between heaven and earth.
At this level, evil spirits, murderous intent and even spiritual power can all be transformed into concrete things.
I saw eight hundred Satsuma warriors connected together, and a demonic shadow immediately appeared in the sky above the battle formation.
He was wearing a strange-shaped bag, body armor, a waist skirt, and a red robe. He was holding a samurai sword and stared at Lu Li expressionlessly.
Behind Lu Li, the blue wolf raised its head and roared, seeming to be gazing at the sky.
For some reason, Tang Chuan, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly thought of Lu Bu, the God of War.
"Okay!"
Even people who don’t understand Japanese can guess what it means.
Following the order given by the brat Shimazu Tadahashi, countless warriors wearing strong armor immediately rushed forward.
However, the ghosts and gods that appeared in the sky did not move because Sirius was confronting them.
Lu Li had not experienced the pleasure of fighting in battle for a long time, but when he saw the charging Satsuma warriors, his desire to kill immediately reached its peak.
The strengthened iron halberd was swung, and sonic booms were heard one after another. In the blink of an eye, he had fought with these warriors dozens of times, and the so-called "killing with one sword" demonstration flow was simply vulnerable.
However, from another perspective, it can be considered a fulfillment.
The body of a samurai with a strange haircut was separated!
Japanese horses as short as donkeys still maintained their momentum and galloped forward carrying their owners, but only headless torsos were left on their backs.
As a large amount of blood spurted out from the cavity, the last ray of blood flowed out, and the legs sandwiching both sides of the horse's belly gave out instantly.
Bang bang bang.
The sound of falling is endless.
The blood mist was falling all over the sky, but Lu Li couldn't get close. He raised his fingers towards Shimazu Tadahashi:
"Kid, if they can't do it, come on."
Japanese aristocrats have studied Chinese culture since childhood. As the second son of the family, Shimazu Tadashi was obviously highly educated. Hearing the enemy general's provocation, he immediately pulled out his samurai sword from its sheath.
However, Sakon's attendants were the first to draw their swords. They were retainers, and if anything happened to the young master, they would commit suicide by committing seppuku.
"shoot!"
It is worth mentioning that Tadahashi Shimazu did not intend to abide by the so-called Bushido.
Because he couldn't figure out the details of the man in front of him. Anyway, if he cut off his head and nose, he had achieved military exploits. Who cares how he was killed?
Bang bang bang!
Japanese iron artillery roared.
The modified version of black gunpowder burns and spits out powerful projectiles, causing the surrounding air to vibrate violently.
Lu Li had previously made up his mind to judge the power of this weapon by relying on the armor and his own body to receive bullets.
Between the electric light and flint, he faced the blazing projectiles head-on without dodging.
Under the crotch, the black-maned horse was helpless.
It has no horse gear, but like the Bull Demon, it has a set of battle armor carefully crafted by its owner, which can only be used after entering its second form.
The black-maned horse didn't want to fight hard. After all, not everyone was as confident in their own strength as Lu Li was.
The black light flashed, with a little bit of moonlight and stars, tightly wrapping the black-maned horse from head to tail. When those projectiles hit it, they were immediately disintegrated like a mud cow entering the sea.
clang! Clang!
The sound of gold and iron clashing is endless.
Seeing that the powerful muskets of Shinhwa were firing at such a high density, but still unable to break through the armor's defense, Tang Chuan sighed:
Is this a big dog owner?
The divine iron is like a cabbage on the street, forged into such a strong and large-area armor.
clang!
The last collision sound exploded on his left cheek. Lu Li, who had not used any magical powers, felt a slight pain, but the traces left on it soon faded away.
"What kind of magic did you use? Iron cannons can easily penetrate even rocks..." Shimazu Tadashi was surprised and spoke broken Chinese.
Unfortunately, no answer came.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Li said a Japanese sentence he had specially learned before the exam:
"あなたは马鹿ですか?"
Outstanding effect.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shimazu Tadahashi and his retainers became furious and rushed forward one after another brandishing samurai swords. The same was true for the group of retainers behind them, surrounding the Ming army generals who had separated from their troops.
Everyone except Tang Chuan felt that Lu Li was too arrogant, and he actually took the initiative to break away from the hundreds of impressive cavalry behind him, and stopped in front of the army alone.
Times have changed.
Challenges are no longer popular these days.
It is even less popular to show off one's words.
The Satsuma warriors attacked from all directions, showing Lu Li their manifestation flow!
Bear bears, mountain boars, giant whales.
Various visions manifest themselves, which are the result of the combination of sword skills, one's own will, and things that are usually visualized.
After all, the island country doesn’t have many ferocious beasts.
"kill!"
Lu Li shouted sharply, and Sirius, who was originally facing off against the demon god, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cyan light attached to the halberd's blade became blazing.
Dead heads were flying all over the sky, and under the strong wind, Pi Lian's blood was directly beaten into fine foam smaller than beads. The legendary samurai sword, known as indestructible, turned into a stream of light under the iron halberd, shooting towards countless people. Flying into the unknown distance.
Eight hundred confident warriors, fighting against Lu Li who was not at full strength, seemed to be ending in a disastrous defeat.
Shimazu Tadahashi's face was solemn.
Tang Chuan noticed that the kid was holding a knife in a gesture of gathering strength, watching his retainers go up to die one after another, while beating the beat with his fingers, as if he was conveying some message.
Ninja?
Subpoena?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Tang Chuan forcefully pressed it down. He had endured the humiliation and survived till now, and the opportunity to make meritorious deeds was just around the corner.
"Kid, do you want to dance too?"
Shout out the lines that you have restrained for a long time.
Gather energy to become a blade!
Tang Chuan, who was hiding in the rear, used all means to launch this flawless raid.
The weather, the right location, the right people, all are there.
What to lose?
No matter how bad he is, he is still a member of the elite class, and no one can underestimate this attack!
Therefore, when the feeling of penetration came, Tang Chuan smiled proudly:
"The enemy will attack and take out the enemy..."
"If the enemy is ashamed, let me take off his clothes."
