The horse Long Ye looked at the scene in front of him and felt cold from his heart, it was terrible If he was in China, he saw his son go to the army to fight, and the family would probably all cry to death, as long as there was a glimmer of life, they would die to keep the child.

"Once their son dies, who will provide for them to die?" said Long Ye in a low voice.

Sister Wu shook her head very indifferently, "No, that's the way of life of your Central Plains civilization, not the way of life of our Japanese, the foal has to run immediately when it is born, and the wolf cub has to learn to bite immediately after birth, people can't have the slightest dependence, parents must be ruthless, otherwise they can't raise a man!"

Then Sister Wu sighed and said, "The boy is okay, at least his parents will find a way to let him learn something, the poor can learn a little craft, the middle family can learn arithmetic and literacy or something, it's no problem to be a buddy in the future...... And if the conditions are better, the child will learn martial arts......"

"And there is only one fate for a girl from a poor family, and that is to be sold, either to be a maid, or to be a prostitute, or to be sold to someone else as a daughter-in-law......"

It turns out that they are all poor! Long Ye really understands the root of this nation's madness at this moment, poverty is extremely poor, and people become more and more extreme, they are so desperate to compete for the so-called opportunities, sometimes the purpose is very simple, just to eat enough.

Although the Qing Dynasty is also very poor, but China's huge land area allows people to have more opportunities and choices, those mountain people in the deep mountains and old forests may be poor and the Japanese have a fight, but China also has huge plains, rich granaries, in general, there is still some mobility between the rich and the poor.

As long as China's politics are a little clearer, the government can efficiently allow wealth to flow, grain in the plains can be exchanged for minerals and forests in the barren land, and taxes in the rich areas can be turned into water conservancy projects in the bitter cold land.

Japan is different, this country with many mountains and few fields, relying on its own primitive agriculture can not solve the problem of feeding everyone, when hunger envelops a person's life, they will naturally choose to be close to animal nature, which is the instinct in the human blood.

"Desperately poor, no wonder you are so crazy...... Forget it, let's go!" Long Ye shook his head and threw away these headache thoughts, he is not Xiao Letian does not have the brain and mind that can hold the whole world, this kind of thing is really a long life if he thinks too much.

Leaving Kanazawa City, Long Ye played the flag of the Ryukyu King and the recognition of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng with great fanfare, and the cavalry team of seventy or eighty people rolled up smoke and dust on the post road, and the surrounding pride was waiting on the side of the road to greet them, Long Ye would not stay for them for a moment, but just asked the soldiers of the Maeda family to inform the daimyo of more than 100,000 stone along the way to prepare for the greeting, and the samurai of the small and powerful families in these places had to gather where they were waiting for screening.

There were many lords who went all the way north from Kanazawa to a height of 100,000 stones, and Lord Long didn't give them too many places, never more than ten, and the elite soldier strategy was executed by him to the extreme.

All the way north, when Long Ye and they came to the famous spot of Echigo and Yuezhong, the team had expanded to 130 people, and it was here that Long Ye and they encountered a group of kraft candy that gave people a headache.

The so-called "relatives do not know the child" is a section of more than 10 kilometers facing the Sea of Japan, because it is a fault landform formed by the collapse of the mountain, so the cliff and the sand side alternate, along the way there are cliffs, reefs and caves, plus the waves, many travelers fell off the cliff or were swept into the sea by the waves. Because walking on this road, parents will leave out the children next to them, and the children will not even have time to look back at their parents, and even the parents and children will not be able to take care of each other, so it is named "parents do not know children do not know".

On the outskirts of Kanazawa, Inoyama, who had vowed to seize the opportunity of his life, and five or six equally resolute wild samurai knelt on the cliff road that allowed only one person to pass, blocking the way of the army's advance.

"In Shimofusono samurai Inoyama chip, he is proficient in arithmetic and swordsmanship...... Please accept it...... Please give the minister the next chance!" the wild warriors who knelt on the ground shouted in a hurry.

The mountain road is narrow and dangerous, there is a cliff on the left, the waves of the Sea of Japan are rolling, and on the right is a steep stone wall that only the best warriors can climb.

"I have already sent orders to various local daimyo along the way, I will only select troops in the lord's residence city above 100,000 stones, and will definitely not collect people in the wilderness, you should retreat first and wait for our test in the residence city!"

Zhu Shanzhu kowtowed suddenly, his forehead hit the stone, and blood splattered, "My lord, please give me the next chance, there is a saying in China that the prince will be a kind of Xiangning!

"When we wild samurai arrived at the residence of the Daimyo, we couldn't even see your face, and those family samurai had ten thousand ways for us to disappear...... Your Excellency, you know that all the way from Kanazawa, there have already been wild samurai who have died at the hands of those family samurai!"

"Do you think this is a simple military selection? In fact, it has long since changed its taste, for the sake of this opportunity, the people below have already started a bloody battle, and for the sake of one more place, those daimyo don't care about killing people at all......"

Long Ye was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the situation to become so serious, and looked back at Maori Ichimoto, Shimazu Asuka and Maeda Yujiro, but saw three extremely embarrassed expressions.

"So...... Is it all true?" Long Ye gritted his back molars and asked, "Have you ever been stained with this blood?"

"No!" the three of them quickly shook their heads, "not only did we not, but the samurai behind us didn't do such a thing...... To tell you the truth, this situation mostly happens to those heroes who are in dire need of military merit, they only have a territory of a few thousand or even one or two thousand stones, and their desire for military merit is much higher than ours......"

"It's all a group of gamblers, in order to fight for the family, they don't care about killing a few wild samurai at all......"

"That's right, they are not high-ranking daimyo, after all, the high-ranking daimyo's family heritage has been accumulated, and their ability to resist risks is also more, and they are still very face-conscious in doing things...... Needless to say, the untouchables and wild samurai are from humble backgrounds and can struggle to earn a few rice balls, and their desires are so great......"

"Only these small and medium-sized families that are not up or down are the craziest, they are not grass people who have a knife in their hands and have a certain ambition and desire, and at the same time they are not a profound daimyo family, so the ambition accumulated in the hearts of these people in the past two hundred years is the biggest ......"

"Your Excellency, you must be careful of these little and medium-sized tycoons, they can really sell their souls to the demons of hell in order to climb up...... In their eyes, loyalty has a price!"
