Chapter 35 Conditions of Muromachi
If it weren't for the warning of Akishino's snow marks, I might not have taken it seriously, and I might even think it was a good intention of Yayoi Takuto, but now it seems that protecting me is fake, and it is true that Yayoi Takuto let Yayoi Yuki spy on him.

"That's exactly what I wanted!" The horses had already been brought over, and I quickly turned over and got on the horse, "The 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions, let's go with me!" ”
By this time, the weather had turned cloudy, and a moist and cool air was coming towards me, and I could not help but tighten the belly of the horse with my feet, and keep raising the whip, so that the horse could run and fly, and always rushed to the front of the line.
Now, my mood is agitated, and it took a lot of effort to control myself from yelling. Although the kingdom of Muromachi has not yet been completely pacified, and it is dangerous to run at the front of the line, the thought of the benefits that the surrender of the king of Muromachi can bring to me makes me anxious to rush to Starry Night Castle.
"Your Excellency Legion Commander," Kenhide Matsuda caught up with me and walked with me, "Hoshino Castle is ahead!"
"Oh," I came back to my senses, and I could already see the outline of Starry Night City in front of me.
"Kenhide-kun," I asked in a low voice, "King Muromachi has really surrendered to us, you say, what should we do with him!" ”
"Governor, I listen to you in everything, and we will do what you say." Matsuda Kenhide was stunned for a moment and replied.
"I'd like to hear what you think!" I said.
"If the king of Muromachi really takes refuge here......" Kenhide Matsuda began to sweat on his forehead, but he didn't know what to say.
Well, it seems that Kenhide Matsuda, although he is more loyal to me, but this brain, not for me, is really a little insufficient.
When they arrived at the city, the soldiers in the city shouted, "Who is in the city! ”
"The Metropolitan Governor is here, open the door!" Kenhide Matsuda shouted loudly.
The city gate was opened, and the leading soldier came out and led us into the city.
"Where is the messenger sent by the King of Muromachi?" I asked bluntly.
"He's in the post house north of the city for the time being, Governor Dadu, are you going to see him now?" Kenhide Matsuda asked.
"Going to see him now, doesn't that mean that I take this matter more seriously than I do? That's passive! I knocked on the table and mused, "Go and tell him that I'm tired from the journey, that I need to rest now, and that he will come to see me tomorrow!" ”
When I heard that I had arrived at Hoshino Castle, the messenger from Muromachi immediately became agitated and wanted to discuss surrender with me.
"Just say I'm resting, and I'll talk about it when I wake up!" Hearing that the envoy of the king of Muromachi was outside the mansion, he asked to see him. For the greater good, I put the score on the score.
About an hour later, an envoy from the king of Muromachi came to visit again, and this time, I was still washing.
After about a quarter of an hour, a messenger sent by the king of Muromachi knocked at the door again, and I agreed to receive him.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers, the envoy of the king of Muromachi entered the living room, where Yayoi's high-ranking generals had been waiting for a long time.
I sat in the middle, with Kenhide Matsuda standing on my left side, knife in his hand, motionless; Hayato Egawa and Yuki Yayoi stood on my right side, in a posture of starting without saying a word.
And the messenger sent by Muromachi strode in, and when he saw this formation, he actually grinned indifferently, showing his bright teeth, to show that he was not intimidated by this formation.
"Your Excellency the Grand Governor, I wonder if General Matsuda has already talked to you about our proposal? What do you think about it? Are you willing to accept it? The Muromachi envoy changed his relaxed expression and said solemnly.
It seems that the envoy of the Muromachi Kingdom is really in a hurry, otherwise, how could he not even say a polite greeting, but directly ask such a thing.
"This, I just heard Xian Xiujun mention it slightly, but I still have to listen to you say it again. That ensures an accurate understanding of what your king meant, doesn't it? I smiled calmly.
"This content should be very clear in the surrender document I handed over to you!" The Muromachi envoy said unnaturally on his face, daring to be angry and not daring to speak, he was talking about his current situation.
"Yes, it's written on it, but it doesn't hurt to say it again!" I said leisurely, I'm not in a hurry, the other party will be in a hurry, so that I can dominate.
The messenger could not suppress the anger in his heart, and the sense of majesty that was no more than ordinary people proved that he was a man who was accustomed to giving orders. However, the situation is stronger than people, and now, the strength of the Yayoi Kingdom is far stronger than the current Muromachi Kingdom, and he doesn't know if Yayoi's army has begun to attack the Muromachi Royal City, and every minute and every second is very critical now. If it drags on until the Muromachi royal castle is breached, it will be too late. And looking at the way I procrastinated, the more he thought about it, the more he felt like this.
"In that case, I'll tell you one more story!" The envoy said quickly, "First, my country is willing to surrender to your country and not fight with your army again!" ”
"Huh!" Yuki Yayoi snorted disdainfully.
"Second, your army must ensure the personal safety and property safety of our royal family!" The envoy deliberately pretended not to hear, and continued, "Thirdly, after the surrender of our royal family, your army must guarantee our personal liberty and not treat us as prisoners; Fourthly, in view of the hostile attitude of your army towards our country, we hope that we will be able to retain some of our soldiers and weapons so that we can defend ourselves in the event of physical danger; Fifth, after all, our country was once a vassal state of the Edo Monarchy, and if we attack the Edo Monarchy, it will not have a good impact, so please do not send us to fight the Edo Monarchy; Sixth, please allow us to keep the food and other supplies we need to sustain ourselves! ”
"If you keep your soldiers and weapons, but don't fight the Edo Monarchy, if you stab us in the back at a critical moment, it will be a lot of fun, you say, how can we agree?" I asked with a smile, and the officers around me laughed too, "Yes, there is food and drink, no fighting, and army weapons, which is even more comfortable than our life!" ”
The envoy's face turned red all of a sudden: "These conditions are not too much at all, if your army is worried that we will turn against the water, it will be ridiculous." Who in the world does not know the attitude of the Edo monarchy towards the betrayer. Since our country has surrendered to you, our existence is a disgrace to the Edo monarchy, and they will surely get rid of us. If we help them deal with your army, will we not be killing ourselves! Therefore, if your army can't even agree to this, it will be too insincere!"
"That's it!" I sighed and said, "What you said makes sense, the Edo monarchy will not let you go, and you should keep some troops and weapons!" ”
"So, the Metropolitan Governor has agreed to our request!" The messenger was overjoyed.
"Wait, when did I say yes?" I asked rhetorically.
"Didn't you just say that?" The messenger was speechless.
"I just said that it was okay to keep the army and weapons, but I didn't say that other conditions were acceptable!" I whispered slowly.
"So, which one does the Metropolitan Governor think needs to be revised?" The messenger said through gritted teeth.
"Well, our soldiers, who came from afar, can be said to have suffered a lot, and the loss of food, yuanyu, and weapons is not a small amount. Well, give your treasury and we will promise you your surrender, what do you think? "I casually asked for a price.
"This," the messenger hesitated.
"Well, seeing you like this, I won't embarrass you! In today's Muromachi Royal Castle, there should still be more than 200,000 soldiers! I can leave them a year's worth of money, and arrange for you to flee to the kingdom of Snowmarks. I pretended to be generous.
"Can you send us to the Snowmark Monarchy?" The messenger was surprised.
"Of course, now, you have offended the Edo Monarchy, and the entire Toei dares to take you in and let the Edo Monarchy throw a rat into a trap, I'm afraid that only the Toei Holy Kingdom will be the Toei Holy Kingdom, but is it possible for the Toei Holy Kingdom to take you in? Of course, the Snowmark Monarchy and the Shogunate Monarchy also have the strength to take you in, and the Shogunate Monarchy, I don't have anything to do with it, but the princess of the Snowmark Monarchy is in our country, and I believe that they will be willing to take you in! I said with a smile.
"However, the current Snow Scar Monarchy is also being pressed and beaten by the Edo Monarchy, so I'm afraid that ......" The envoy was a little suspicious.
"Although, the current Snow Scar Monarchy is inferior in strength to the Edo Monarchy, but after all, they still stiffened up, didn't they?" I followed the temptation and said, "Now the Snowmark Monarchy is also at a crisis juncture, if you can send charcoal in the snow, once the Snowmark Monarchy resists the attack of the Edo Monarchy, will the benefits be less than yours?" Besides, now that the Shogunate has also marched towards the Edo Monarchy, there is a high chance that the Snow Marks Monarchy will be able to resist, so what else can you hesitate about? ”
"I can't make the decision on this matter, please allow me to report to the king, and I will definitely give you an answer before today!" The messenger said solemnly.
"No problem, I hope your majesty will think about my suggestion!" I squinted and smiled.
It's late at night, and I don't know how many times I've looked at the time, but now, it's approaching, and now I suspect that the Muromachi Kingdom has given up and surrendered.
At this moment, a voice of surprise came, "Metropolitan Governor, someone from Muromachi Wangcheng has arrived!" ”
I saw the gate of the Muromachi Castle wide open, and more than a dozen cavalrymen rushed from it, looking at their figures, my heart was pounding, and my feet were trembling involuntarily.
"We, willing to surrender!" In the distance, the Muromachi cavalry shouted loudly.
Hearing this, I finally relaxed, and with a quiet wave of my hand, dozens of heralds headed towards the various cities of the Muromachi Kingdom.
At the same time, beneath me, hundreds of thousands of horses' hooves began to gallop, and millions of soldiers, like a turbulent river, flowed mightily into the open Muromachi Imperial Castle.
