Chapter 247: The Maori Family
The sky is clear, the waves are not alarmed, and the sky is bright up and down, and there is a blue sky.
The weather was very pleasant to Kenjiro Mori, the son who ruled the four nearby castles, and he stood comfortably in his courtyard, squinting and enjoying the wonderful sunbathing.
It's just that he didn't enjoy such a comfortable life for long, and a hurried voice interrupted the beauty of Kenjiro Mori: "Lord Mori, all those who fled to the barren mountains have returned, and now they are gathered in Tanocho!"
Maori Xiaoming's cronies hurriedly came to report, which made Maori Kenjiro a little unhappy: "Come back, come back, or just fill the army like before, why are you so impatient?"
"Lord Maori, this time is different from before, the number of people who have returned... There are thousands of them, and most of them are young people!"
“?!”
Kenjiro Mori was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, he looked at his retainers and cronies excitedly, and said in disbelief: "What are you talking about, thousands of people?!"
The retainer with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly said: "Lord Maori, this matter is true, Xiaosheng is willing to guarantee with his life!"
"If that's the case, that's great!"
Kenjiro Mori suddenly began to get excited, and his expression was filled with indescribable excitement: "Thousands of people, as long as there are a thousand more troops to ascend first, I will definitely be able to break through Qingzhu City, destroy the Mudu family, and become the daimyo of the Xiaoju side!"
The rules for daimyo and daimyo are actually very simple, the lord of the castle with more than 50,000 koku is the daimyo, and the lord with less than 50,000 koku is the daimyo, but due to the collapse of the rite and music, the princes with more than 10,000 koku are now called daimyos.
Kenjiro Mori is a small soldier, with 500 soldiers to support, and he is already a famous and well-known big man in this area, and he is the closest to the daimyo.
Don't think that there are very few 500 soldiers, you must know that these 500 people are samurai who have left the war, not the kind of peasant soldiers who usually work as peasants and go to the battlefield in war.
Once the war starts, Kenjiro Mori can gather more than 3,000 soldiers to fight at once, and if he can get an extra 1,000 soldiers this time, then his hegemony will be successful, and the Mori family will become the new daimyo!
After reading it, Kenjiro Mori was so happy that he hurriedly ordered the maid to change her clothes, and at the same time instructed the retainers: "Quick, mobilize the soldiers and go to the field town with me, you can't let the dogs of the Mudu family take the lead!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The retainers did not hesitate at all, and immediately went to find the leader of the soldiers, Kenjiro Mori's younger brother, Junichiro Mori.
In their eyes, this wave is a meat, egg, onion and chicken, and a good opportunity for the Maori family to compete for hegemony.
......
In Tano Town, the number of people has already been counted, and he is extremely pleased with the working people here.
Because it is the destiny of the world's will, Tianyu Qingzhong is still very concerned about the lives of the people, and after personally performing the yin and yang arts, after distributing farmland and houses, looking at the happy smiles of the residents, Tianyu Qingzhong also felt a little happy.
"Lord Tengo!"
"Celestial-sama is not good!"
Originally, a resident of Tano Town ran panting from a distance, came to Tianyu Qingzhong, and reported in a panic: "My lord, I just saw the soldiers of the Maori family gathering in the city, and it seems that they heard the wind on our side, so they want to arrest us!"
"Ah, what is this going to do?"
"If the Maori soldiers knew we were back, they would have killed us. ”
"No, no, no, no, no one really went to Maori's house to report the news, right?"
"I'm willing to take up arms and fight against the Maori family together with Lord Tengoharu, and everyone who wants to destroy our family will die!"
"I do, too!"
"What is the Maori family, Lord Tianyu Qingzhong will protect us!"
"Rebel against the Maori family!
After the news spread, the crowd was excited, and the residents here had a strong sense of resistance, but Tian Yuqing knew that as long as he left, the residents here would immediately return to their original state, either fleeing or surrendering.
There is no way, the people of this world are very similar to the ancient Dongying, there is no sense of resistance, only obedience and escape, for the local princes, they despise themselves because of their weak blood, and they dare not have any resistance.
If it weren't for the fact that they were here, they might not even dare to say the word 'Maori family', after all, they are also a group of people without a surname.
And the reason why they are rebelling now is not because they have given them the confidence to resist, but because they have already regarded themselves as the people under the rule of the Heavenly Palace, and the lord of the Heavenly Emperor is going to crusade against the lord of the Maori family, and it is not natural for them to wave their flags and shout?
Tian Yuqing knew all about the mentality of these people, but he would not make any moves.
Wishing power is just to unify the three major islands and establish an era without war, and it is not a kind of 'prince and prince will have a kind of peace', so there will not be much reaction in the sky.
"Lord Tianyu, please command, we are willing to die for you!"
Many of the inhabitants had already picked up the rudimentary wooden farming tools assigned to them in the Sunny Days, intending to fight the Maori soldiers with their lives.
It was inconceivable for them to have such a wise lord in these chaotic times, and of course they wanted to give their lives for such a lord.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't need you to give your lives for me, you were persuaded by me to come down the mountain, and I will be responsible for your safety. ”
Tian Yuqing said with a pleasant face, as if he was not worried about the Maori soldiers.
"But... However, Lord Tianyu, the soldiers of the Maori family are coming, although you have great powers, but the Maori family has 500 soldiers and four cities!"
The old man in the crowd widened his eyes, and his stiff back couldn't help but stiffen and stiffen: "Please allow us to fight for you!"
"Don't worry, the Maori soldiers can't help me, and I also have soldiers. ”
Tian Yuqing smiled slightly, looked at the old man, and continued to speak with a pleasant face.
This posture was not as if he was talking to an ordinary resident under his rule, but to a noble old family owner, which also made the nearby residents feel moved.
After that, Tian Yuqingzhong looked at the little boy beside the old man again, smiled slightly, and said: "Besides, Taro's martial arts are also so good, if the soldiers of the Maori family really come, I believe that Taro can also protect me." ”
"Well, I'll protect Lord Celestial Heaven, too!"
The boy's eyes widened, his fists clenched, and he nodded vigorously, causing a wave of snort from the residents on the side.
The inexplicable and tragic atmosphere has been diluted a lot, but there are still many residents who are worried about the sunny weather.
The soldiers of the Lord in the Heavenly Weather?
They hadn't seen it, so maybe it might just be a lie from Lord Sunny Heaven to comfort them.
"Boom~"
Suddenly, a dull sound sounded behind him, and all the inhabitants were startled and couldn't help but look in that direction.
I saw a four-legged toad with a pale blue body suddenly jumping from the nearby high mountain, and immediately after, all kinds of monsters also walked down from the high mountain, such as a sparrow more than a meter large, a wild boar with a human face, and a tengu with a dog's head and human body...
All kinds of monsters gathered together, counting carefully, there were seventy or eighty of them, I'm afraid that all the more ordinary monsters on the high mountain were recruited by Tianyu Qingzhong and became his 'soldiers', right?
"It's... This is?!"
The residents who came down from the mountains looked at these monsters, and their hearts were slightly panicked, but more than that, they were in awe.
is worthy of the Lord of the Heavenly Sunny Mountains, the soldiers are completely different from the Maori family, and they are monster soldiers!
At this moment, the worries in the hearts of the residents who had been a little worried about the sky were completely gone, and they were replaced by awe.
What a powerful force to manipulate these monsters and make them their own use!
Lord Tianyu Qingzhong really deserves to be an onmyoji, he is amazing!
Tian Yuqingzhong didn't let these monsters show off here for too long, and directly commanded: "The time has come to wash away your sins, go and kill the Maori Xiaoming who came to commit the crime, and arrest all the soldiers of the Maori family, and don't hurt a single person, understand?"
"I'll wait for you to understand, please rest assured!"
The monsters hurriedly kowtowed, and after showing their respect to the heavenly palace, they surged away in the direction of the Maori family.
It was much more comfortable for them to go and fight the Maori soldiers than to face the heavens.
......
"Lord Lord, after going to Tano Town this time, Xiao Sheng suggested that we immediately attack Qingzhu Castle and catch them off guard. ”
The retainer who reported to Kenjiro Mori followed by Kenjiro Mori and said to Kenjiro Mori: "The Mudu family doesn't know that we have added a new population, and at this time, take advantage of an information gap to catch it off guard, and if it is used properly, it may be able to eliminate the power of the Mudu family in one fell swoop." ”
"Well, you think the same thing as I do, and so do I. ”
Kenjiro Mori rode his horse, easily advancing under the protection of many soldiers, and nodded at the opinion of his retainers, as if he was very satisfied: "The hairy boys of the Mudu family would never have imagined that we would attack them suddenly, so that hegemony is just around the corner." ”
"The lord is wise!"
The retainer hurriedly sent a piece of sycophancy, and Kenjiro Mori was very comfortable, feeling that his retainer was really a big loyal minister.
"This time we..."
Before Kenjiro Mori could finish speaking, a gust of wind suddenly swept up, and the surrounding sand quickly swirled, and the sand flew away, fascinating everyone's eyes.
"Damn, what's going on?!"
Kenjiro Mori was a little annoyed, the horse mount was a little frightened, Kenjiro Mori forcibly pulled the reins to prevent the horse from moving around, he said angrily: "What's going on around?!"
"Quack, quack..."
"Youkai, it's a youkai!"
"Prepare to defend!"
"Protect the lord, come and protect the lord!"
"Ahhh——!!!hh
Listening to the voices of the soldiers around him, Kenjiro Mori felt a little furious in his heart, and he pulled out the saber he carried with him, and carefully watched the situation around him in the vast sand.
'Youkai, why are youkai attacking me?!'
"Damn, didn't the Lord of the Abe family say that he had reached an agreement with Takayama that he wouldn't let any youkai go down the mountain?!"
"Could it be that the youkai that appear here are youkai from somewhere else, this is terrible!'
Kenjiro Mori thought to himself, and he felt extremely anxious: the soldiers around him had spent years training, and each of them had plenty of combat experience.
If he dies here like this, he will be very distressed.
"Huh?!"
Suddenly, a purple light flashed, and a purple fog suddenly appeared from the front, spraying straight in the direction of Mori Kenjiro, which frightened Mori Kenjiro and hurriedly dismounted.
However, at the moment when he jumped off the horse, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of his neck, and Kenjiro Mori couldn't help but scream and fell to the ground.
He struggled to get up, but something seemed to be stepping on his back, making him unable to move.
"Let go of me, I'm the head of the Oshimagawa Mori family, the nickname here is Kenjiro Mori, let me go, I'll give you a ransom!"
Kenjiro Mori hurriedly shouted, his own life was the most important thing until now.
"Quack, the head of the Mori family, Kenjiro Mori?"
A voice suddenly came from behind Kenjiro Mori, Kenjiro Mori was stunned for a moment, and then said frantically: "That's right, it's me, it's me, please spare me, I'll prepare it for you..."
It's a pity that before Kenjiro Mori finished speaking, the monster behind him picked up Kenjiro's own katana and cut off Kenjiro's head.
The light blue toad monster grabbed Mori Kenjiro's hair, lifted his head, looked at Mori Kenjiro with a terrified expression, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's him, quack, it's his head that Lord Tianyu Qingzhong wants!"
After reading this, the light blue toad monster hung the head of Mori Kenjiro around his waist and swaggered outside, beginning to subdue the other Mori soldiers.
Kenjiro Mori brought with him only 130 soldiers, including his younger brother, and the remaining 370 men defended the main castle, lest other nearby forces come to attack the castle when they hear the news.
However, it is precisely because Mori Kenjiro brought relatively few people and was murdered, if he brought all the soldiers out, then in the case of the soldiers fighting to the death, Mori Kenjiro still has a chance to escape.
But now that the battle is over, many soldiers have died in their place, attacking these monsters with suicide attacks, and the monsters have also been injured in such attacks, and even one has died.
And the monster naturally couldn't control his behavior, killing more than forty, injuring more than sixty, and less than thirty people were intact.
The current monsters are nervous, for fear of being punished by the heavens.
After all, the order of the Heavenly Emperor is to let them capture the soldiers alive.
