"Thanks to General Zhang Yu for your help, I can successfully get back what is rightfully mine!"
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"
Jiyuan Pier.
This is the Haikou Pier belonging to the Yoshida family.
With the demise of the previous generation of the Yoshida family, Yoshida Haruno finally got his wish and got his position as the head of the family.
Of course, the main ones were the three huge warships he brought and the thousand elites Zhang Yu brought.
To the Japanese people who are generally short in stature, these people are almost like gods of war.
The height of the population of Japan at this time was basically below 1.6 meters.
It was thanks to the fact that the Japanese people had been plundering the population over the years, and after diluting their own blood through the foreign population, the height of the people in their country generally began to increase.
Otherwise, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the average height of Japanese people would not have exceeded one and a half meters.
As for the thousand elites brought by Zhang Yu, not only were they all wearing battle armor, but they were also generally 1.89 meters tall.
Tall and mighty, just standing there gave these Japanese people an endless sense of oppression.
And Yoshida Haruno, under the power of a fox and a tiger, basically frightened the vast majority of Japanese warriors.
Not to mention civilians.
On the pier, Yoshida Haruno, who had dealt with some of the cronies of the former head of the family, also hurriedly came to Zhang Yu at this time.
And facing Zhang Yu was the highest courtesy of kneeling down.
Zhang Yu, who was sitting astride the war horse, looked at Yoshida Haruno who was kneeling in front of him, his face as cold as ever.
"Yoshida Haruno, right? Now that you killed the former head of the Yoshida family, these matters are internal issues of your Yoshida family. I just want to know, can I still continue to fulfill the imperial orders that I have carried out?"
Zhang Yu neither admitted nor denied Yoshida Haruno's claim that Zhang Yu helped him solve his dilemma.
What he cares about most now is still his mission.
After Yoshida Haruno heard Zhang Yu's inquiry, his body that was originally kneeling on the ground quickly stood up.
Zhang Yu did not express his position on what just happened, which at least proved that he did not intend to pursue the matter just now.
This is enough for Haruno Yoshida.
Zhang Yu did not object to his seizure of power, which was regarded as acknowledgment that Yoshida Haruno was now the head of the Yoshida family.
Then everything after that will be easy to say.
"Please rest assured, General! Yoshida is not a blind person. I, the Yoshida family, will definitely pay tribute every year in the future and come to court every year!"
"That's right. Although we have killed the rebels, there are still many discordant voices within the Yoshida family. Now that Haruno's foundation is still shallow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fully control the family for a while."
"General, can you help me?"
After Zhang Yu heard Yoshida Haruno's words, his brows suddenly frowned slightly.
He originally thought that Yoshida Haruno at least had a certain foundation.
After solving this side, it will be easy to completely grasp the overall situation.
Judging from this guy's current performance, I'm afraid he is also an inconspicuous character in the Yoshida family!
Otherwise, where would it be their turn to take action?
However, after thinking for a while, Zhang Yu did not refuse Yoshida Haruno's request.
He himself wanted to settle in the Yoshida family's castle.
They brought a large number of firearms with them on this trip.
Among them, the number of grenades, gunpowder and other items is even greater.
To put it bluntly, as long as they have a city to rely on.
If you want to keep it for a month or two, there is absolutely no pressure at all.
So after hearing Yoshida Haruno's request, Zhang Yu didn't say much.
He just nodded silently.
"We can help, but it's best if you remember what you said,"
"General, please don't worry! Please follow me next."
"Give the order, and the whole army will march out."
Looking at Yoshida Haruno who was walking in front and riding on the pony, Zhang Yu waved his hand and adapted to the whole army and drove in directly.
"Please check your surroundings carefully while waiting. If there is an ambush or other unusual movements, seize the envoys as soon as possible. Remember, you must survive."
"Let them lead the way, we must capture a city as a defense as quickly as possible!"
"As commanded."
As the leader of the vanguard army this time, Zhang Yu had already made numerous plans in his mind.
But what he didn't expect was that all the plans he made turned out to be redundant.
Because Yoshida Haruno shows no signs of playing tricks at all.
Under the leadership of their group, the team brought by Zhang Yu arrived at the territory of the Yoshida family without any trouble.
However, when Zhang Yu saw the so-called city in Yoshida Haruno's mouth.
He went numb for a moment.
"Is this what you call a city?"
Look at the low city wall in front of you. Looking from a distance, Zhang Yu even felt that he could jump directly over with a single leap.
Behind the city wall are various small buildings.
If you want to say it is a village, Zhang Yu thinks it is more appropriate, but if you want to say it is a city
This is inevitable
"Well, General, our Yoshida family is actually just a subsidiary family of the Oda family. Most of our family's harvests are tribute to the Oda family."
"Actually, our Yoshida family was originally a wealthy family, but we were defeated later, so..."
Standing outside his city wall, Yoshida Haruno looked at Zhang Yu, who was frowning.
He couldn't help but panic at this time.
You know, if Zhang Yu left him at this time, their clansmen would be enough to tear him into pieces just because he killed the head of the Yoshida family.
Yoshida Haruno's greatest confidence comes from Zhang Yu next to him.
If Zhang Yu turned around and left because he was dissatisfied with the power of the Yoshida family.
"Okay. Let's take a look at the city first."
Zhang Yu was originally worried that they would encounter resistance after arriving at Yoshida's house.
He was afraid that the troops he brought would not be enough.
But when he saw the Yoshida family's territory, he was really confused.
Who in this small village gave them the courage to go to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy?
"Write down all the situation here, and then send it back to His Majesty and others, so that His Majesty and others can make a decision. During this period of time, we will first find a way to gain a foothold here."
"As commanded."
When Yoshida Haruno led people back to the Yoshida family's territory.
The entire Yoshida Village came out to watch these outsiders.
However, when Yoshida Haruno said that the sinners of the Yoshida family had been killed by him, he would be the new head of the Yoshida family.
Surprisingly, there was no resistance.
After all, Yoshida Haruno and his old family boss have an uncle-nephew relationship.
Bloodline is the same.
Moreover, Yoshida Haruno is still the son of the previous head of the family.
And the people brought by Zhang Yu and the others were not told at this time that they were Daming's team.
Instead, they said they were samurai recruited by Haruno Yoshida.
Regarding such a statement, Zhang Yu deliberately asked the other party to say this.
because
Their main purpose now is to serve as the vanguard to support the arrival of the army in the future.
At this time it is best not to alert the enemy.
Especially when I saw the Yoshida family's small village.
Zhang Yu's original idea that with people like him, there would be no problem defending the city for a month, gradually changed.
The city wall is more than two meters high. You can easily jump over it with just one run.
How to defend this kind of city wall?
And as night fell, something surprising happened to Zhang Yu again.
After successfully becoming the head of the family, Haruno Yoshida began secretly purging all those who disobeyed him in the village. After nightfall, he led a group of people to his tent with smiles on their faces.
After some inquiries from Zhang Yu, he found out.
These people brought by Yoshida Haruno are actually the female relatives of their Yoshida family.
Among them are the wives, daughters and concubines of the previous head of the family, and some of them are actually their own wives, daughters and concubines.
And the reason why these people were brought to Zhang Yu's place was actually to let them serve Zhang Yu and other generals in the army!
This is the so-called meeting gift.
When he heard the news, Zhang Yu almost choked to death on his own saliva.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
In Yingtianfu Imperial City.
A fast horse rushed into the palace with a speed of eight hundred miles.
After the fast horse entered the imperial city, another group of people was summoned into the palace in less than twenty minutes.
"Chu Ze, this is the news and charts sent back from Zhang Yu. Please take a look quickly."
"Okay, show me."
When Lan Yu took Chu Ze into the imperial study, Zhu Biao, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial study, immediately waved to him.
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Chu Ze's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ever since Zhang Yu set out, he has been waiting for this reply!
After taking the letter from Zhu Biao's hand with some excitement.
Chu Ze couldn't wait to check it directly.
While he was checking, the two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen who were following him couldn't help but come over.
"Now they have officially landed in the Japanese territory. Zhang Yu is lurking in the territory of the Yoshida family."
"They are currently intensifying their efforts to explore the surrounding areas and draw tactical terrain maps."
"At the same time, according to Zhang Yu, the Yoshida family has heard the news that smallpox has begun to appear frequently in the territory of their great lord, the Oda family."
"It's almost time for the war to begin!"
While Chu Ze and the others were checking the information sent back by Zhang Yu, Zhu Biao also spoke seriously about what he knew.
But when the word "war" came, Lan Yu, Zhu Di and others in the imperial study couldn't help but breathe quickly.
If the war is going on, that will be their home field!
On the guest seat beside him, Zhu Yuanzhang silently blew the tea cup in his hand.
Although he looked calm at this time, there was a flash of excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed.
Let's start a war
After this battle, it means that a large population and countless silver are waving to him!
