867 The sorrow of the samurai
The background of the million-stone daimyo is really not trivial, half of the team to greet the dragon master is actually a samurai in armor, and the ashigaru with a gun is not even qualified to carry a torch.
The people of Kanazawa Castle watched in horror from a distance as the daimyo greeted the kingas, and the ashigaru lined up to block the crazy wild samurai.
"Stand back...... Baga ...... Stand back, disturbed that the adults are all going to be beheaded......" The Ashigaru soldiers scolded, and there were patrolling Maeda family samurai behind them, drawing out their swords and waving them in deterrence.
The untouchables of Japan have been ruled by the samurai for hundreds of years, and that kind of obedience has been completely seared into the bone marrow, saying that they dare not move forward is not daring to take a step forward, saying that they do not even dare to raise their heads when they bow down.
But those wild samurai, especially those with some small daimyo families in the middle, are a little difficult to manage, and they are unruly and glaring at the samurai of the Maeda family.
"Yaga...... I am a samurai from Tosa, and Ryoma-kun Sakamoto is my countryman, so you dare to attack me......?
"We are samurai of Chikuzen Fukuoka Domain, so please test our courage and martial arts...... Sir, please give me a chance at the next time!"
"We are samurai of the Saga Domain...... We are the samurai of the Kumamoto Domain...... We are samurai from Anyu......"
The mess was like a vegetable field, but Long Ye was not moved at all, he knew that as long as he opened a hole, he would not be able to stop the car, he nodded at Maeda Qingning, "Maeda-sama, it's too messy here, please help me disperse them...... Oh, and remember not to hurt them!"
"Hai...... Lord Kincha, please...... Yujiro Maeda!Lead the team to disperse them, and if there is resistance, capture them on the spot......"
More than two hundred samurai from the Maeda family ran out of the ranks at once, and at the head was a short, stocky young man who knelt down on one knee to answer the order, turned his head and rushed into the chaotic crowd.
"Let these miscellaneous soldiers see the kung ......fu of the Kaga samurai," Yujiro Maeda yelled, and a group of people drew their training wooden knives and rushed into the middle of more than a hundred samurai.
Don't think that the wooden knife used for training is not dangerous, this is similar to the principle of rubber rods commonly used by the police in later generations, and it is fatal to internal injuries and pain when you smoke it, and the whole team is in chaos, and there are wails everywhere.
The Maeda family didn't make a death move, and the samurai who chased after them didn't dare to resist, let alone a million-stone daimyo like the Maeda family, even if it was a small daimyo of tens of thousands of stones, they didn't dare to resist if they wanted to beat them.
They could only shout louder and louder, hoping that Long Ye would show mercy and give them a chance. But Long Ye didn't, just sighed in his heart and strode into Kanazawa City.
When the gate of Kanazawa Castle slowly closed, the noisy samurai outside finally quieted down, and Yujiro Maeda put away his wooden knife and snorted coldly at this group of samurai with blue noses and swollen faces, "The minister of the Imperial Mission is merciful and has not convicted you, but no one should want to harass the adults again, otherwise if the adults don't come out of the sword, we will also make the sword......"
In the crowd, a samurai who knew Yujiro shouted, "Yujiro, how many places do you Maeda family want to share? Is it still your chance to go to the Daimyo family and take all the opportunities? Can't you give us a chance? What we want is just a chance to show your martial arts to the minister......
Yujiro Maeda sighed, "Don't talk about you...... Even I may not be able to get this opportunity!"
One sentence in exchange for everyone's silence, the amount of information revealed here is too great, what does this mean? This shows that the lineage warriors have begun to get involved in the opportunity of this expedition, and the lineage warriors carefully cultivated by the major families are also optimistic about this expedition?
Yujiro was right, at the banquet that night, his identity could only be used as a guard in the cloister outside the banquet, and those samurai who were closer to the head of the family could sit at the banquet and toast to the lords of the country.
Yujiro, who was standing on the cloister with a puppet, watched the maid walk by with sake and food like flowing water, and he couldn't help but swallow when he was amazed at the high standard of the banquet.
Chiba's net abalone, spiny lobster, bluefin tuna, charcoal-grilled snail...... There is even a strange meat that gives off a fragrance that most Japanese people don't smell.
"Is it actually beef? Did you kill a cow in order to greet the minister? I don't even care about the shogunate's ban, it's really a bloody investment!"
Yujiro was right, the shogunate had always had a ban on eating beef, and this ban was not actually abolished until the Meiji Restoration, when the Japanese did not even smell the smell of beef.
Yujiro looked at the maid whose neckline was deliberately open, and he suddenly found that the lord had gathered all the most beautiful women in Kanazawa City, and two of them remembered that they had served Maeda Keinin before?
Yujiro listened to the cheerful singing inside, sighed, closed his eyes, and didn't think about anything, he knew that the opportunity was no longer with him.
Equally pessimistic and disappointed were the samurai in Kanazawa Castle Town, where the first hundred or so did not leave, but now gradually dozens of more people gathered together on the outskirts of Kanazawa Castle and lit piles of bonfires, all of whom remained silent.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and a samurai stood up and threw the firewood in his hand into the fire and shouted, "I thought the prime minister would give us justice, but now it seems that it is just a raccoon dog, I am gone, it's a big deal to be a bandit......"
The samurai, who was as grieved and angry as he was, stood up from the crowd, drank a bowl of turbid wine from the man next to him, and walked into the night with his bags.
Some go, of course, there are those who stay, Pig Mountain Chip is a wild warrior who stays, his package obviously has a few dried fish and rice balls, but he is digging the wild vegetables on the ground with his hands, and gathering those white and tender rhizomes together.
"I won't compromise, I will never give up this opportunity, I don't want to be a wild warrior for the rest of my life, and I won't be a bandit...... My mother and sister gave me all the food in the house as dry food for the long journey, and they gave me the stairs with their lives, and I would rather eat grass than chase after me......"
A handful of white and tender grass roots were stuffed into his mouth, and the bitter taste made Zhu Shanqiao more and more sober, he knew that it was useless to wait here, and he took advantage of the night to move forward hoping to block the Qincha of Shangguo on the post road.
Some people may think the same as him, some people are cautiously walking through the mountains in the night, and there are always some people who choose not to give up in the face of difficulties.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the banquet in Kanazawa Castle had arrived, and after a few songs and dances, the samurai of the Maeda family began to perform sumo wrestling at the banquet, and everyone sold 120,000 points of strength, and they all expected that the Shokuni Chincha would nod and give them more places.
It's a pity that these Japanese fighting skills really can't get into the eyes of Long Ye, and his wine is getting more and more tasteless, until he suddenly says a word.
"When you first entered the city, what about the young man who led the team with a wooden knife? Let him perform kendo!"
Hiss...... Yujiro Maeda on the corridor almost subconsciously gasped, and his eyes were as wide as eggs, "Is this the opportunity just here?"
