"Chapter 148: The Two Heavenly Kings"

Once destiny appears in your awareness and consciousness, the next step will happen naturally, and your inner wisdom will naturally choose freedom over bondage. It is only when you unconsciously live in your destiny that you wrap layers of bondage around yourself.

There were already eighty-two teams, and fifty of them were deployed in the northern frontier of the Celestial Dragon Empire, and Bai Feng recruited another eighteen teams, and the cost of recruiting a single team was 350 stones, which made Bai Feng consume 6,300 stone of the shogunate's asset reserves.

Immediately after that, there were the spear ashigaru who already numbered eighty teams and the spear samurai who already numbered sixty teams, and for the pure cannon fodder troops like spear ashigaru, their extremely low recruitment prices allowed Bai Feng to expand their scale as he pleased.

The spear warriors recruited by a single team with a price of 200 koku were light, and Bai Feng recruited 120 teams in one go! The spear warriors recruited by a single team with a price of 400 koku could already be regarded as the backbone of the shogunate army; their combat power and low recruitment price made them worthy of their name.

What made Bai Feng feel helpless was that the shogunate asset reserves that he could use in his hands were limited, and some high-end combat power units and some shogunate figures, as well as the must-recruit of shogunate generals, needed to occupy a large amount of shogunate asset reserves.

Therefore, Bai Feng could only use the extremely limited assets of the shogunate to recruit spear warriors with a very high cost performance, and after some careful consideration and comparison, Bai Feng decided to recruit one hundred and forty spear warriors, which was the limit of what Bai Feng could do.

After the spear ashigaru and the spear samurai, it was the turn of the high-level class of young sword warriors and the top class of monks, and the original ten teams of young sword warriors and the original twenty teams of monks, because of their high single-team recruitment price, Bai Feng finally recruited only ten teams of each class.

Even so, the young sword samurai recruited by a single team with a price of 600 koku and the monk soldier recruited by a single team with a price of 1,000 koku still consumed Bai Feng's shogunate asset reserve of 16,000 koku, and so far, Bai Feng has already consumed 102,300 koku in recruiting the shogunate army!

Because the existing shogunate characters in Rome City all have their own tasks, and there are few redundant shogunate figures to be transferred by Bai Feng, so Bai Feng can only recruit a group of shogunate characters with high practicality and bring them to the Yamato Empire with the army.

Hakumine recruited 100 new priests with a price of 50 koku, 75 new spies with a price of 100 koku, and 35 ninjas with a price of 200 koku.

The smooth unification of the eastern region allowed Bai Feng to send the spies and ninjas to the western tribe of Luxi to be able to get out some spies and ninjas who had no important responsibilities for the time being, and Bai Feng's established accompanying shogunate figures were 100 priests, 150 spies, and 100 ninjas.

After the shogunate army and shogunate figures were recruited, there were only 25,300 koku left for Hakumine's disposal, and considering that the recruitment price of each shogunate general was as high as 5,000 koku, Hakumine had to start recruiting shogunate generals to command the shogunate army.

General: Andong Ietashi (High Special Samurai)

Shogun's Guard: Twelve Jinhaoori (low-ranking and high-ranking samurai)

Introduction: Anton Ietada was a military general in the Warring States Period and the Azuchi-Momoyama Period, and was the elder of the Tachibana family;

The first shogunate general to be recruited was actually Anton Ietada, one of the 'Four Heavenly Kings of Tachibana', which really shocked Bai Feng; you know, Anton Ietada is most famous not only for his bravery, but also for his loyalty!

In the 6th year of Tensho, the Otomo family, which was loyal to the Anton family, was defeated by the Shimazu army, and the Chikuzen people who had originally submitted to the Otomo family, such as Akizuki, Muneka, Harada, and Kusano, rebelled one after another.

During this period, in a certain battle against the Akizuki Army, Antล Ietada was known as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Tachibana" because of his brilliant military exploits, and Yubu Weixin, Toshi Renzhen, and Takano Daizen; among them, Anton Ietada was rated as "a fierce general with great martial arts" by Daoxue, which was about 63 years old at the time, and it was unexpected for Anton Ietada, who was about 63 years old at the time, to receive this honor in his later years.

General: Yubu Yushin (High Special Samurai)

Shogun's Guard: Twelve Jinhaoori (low-ranking and high-ranking samurai)

Introduction: Yubu Weixin is a military general in the Warring States Period, the elder of the Tachibana family, the head of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Tachibana", and one of the two walls of Tachibana.

Maybe it's because Bai Feng has a good fate with the 'Tachibana Four Heavenly Kings' today, and just recruited one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Anton Jiazhong, the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, Yubu Weixin, has been recruited again;

As early as Toji Kenren, who was an important minister of the Otomo family, before he served as the lord of Tachibanayama Castle, Yufu Weixin joined his command and was deeply trusted by him, and was regarded as a confidant among his henchmen and entrusted with important tasks.

Later, Tojikanren was appointed by Otomo Sorin's command of Tachibanayama Castle, inherited the Tachibana family and renamed it Michiyuki, and Yubu Nobu followed him into the castle and handed over his family and territory to his eldest son, Yubu Weiding, whose loyalty can be seen.

In view of this, Tachibana Michiyuki appointed Yubu as the chief patriarch of the Tachibana family, and gave the word "snow" in his name, but Yubu Weixin called himself "Yukishita" to show his humility.

As a retainer of Tachibana's retainer, Yubu Yushin, perennial follow Tachibana Michiyuki out on the expedition, attacking the city and conquering each place for the first time, charging into battle often made the first contribution; it is said that he went out in battle 65 times, suffered 65 wounds on his body, and felt more than 70 pieces, and with his martial courage and ten o'clock Lianzhen, Anton Ietada, and Takano Daizen and called "the four kings of Tachibana Mountain Castle"!

In addition to the war, Bu Weixin was in charge of ruling the famous port town of Hakata, and was praised by the local people for his vigorous and resolute government decree style, so his political achievements were not inferior to military achievements.

After the Battle of Sekigahara, the Tachibana family was forced to be replaced, and when the lord Tachibana Soshige left Yanagawa Castle, many of the people shed tears and refused to give up their lordship.

However, Yubu Yushin, who was already old at this time, and his second son, Yuji, still followed Somo with a total of nineteen other Tachibana retainers, and suffered many wandering and begging. During this period, Bu Weixin made bamboo chopsticks and sold them, which was barely an income.

In the end, Nobu did not pay in vain for the second generation of Tachibana, and Tachibana Muneshige returned to the Yanagawa domain in the sixth year of Genai to receive 109,200 koku, but Yushin died of illness at the age of 86 in Oshu Tanakura, just like his own Taoist name "Snow Down".

Bai Feng, who used to have a good interest in the history of Japan's Warring States Period, admired Yubu Weixin and Anton Ietada the most among the Four Heavenly Kings of Tachibana;

Now, these two people have served Hakumine as shogunate generals, which is really a refreshing surprise for Hakufeng, who has always admired these two people, and this expedition that has not yet begun seems to be full of factors that make Hakumine optimistic.
