Chapter 1087: Half-Step Grandmaster
To tell the truth, after the eunuch sent by the Northern Ming Emperor announced the edict, Ashikaga Yoshimasa had been waiting for Yang Chendong to negotiate with him. In his opinion, the masters behind you have spoken, you are just a little king with a different surname, don't you know how to advance and retreat? Should Sanyo Province be returned, and even the Saikaido Province, which was first occupied, should be ceded to himself?
Yang Chendong is a king with a different surname, and he is a king with a different surname with some strength. But so what? In the eyes of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty spoke, even if it was a powerful courtier, he had to retreat, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was supreme, and he had not heard of any courtier who dared to openly confront, even if he had the intention to rebel, he had to think of various reasons, and then in the name of King Qin, he would make a move to the Jingshi.
This is the impression left by the Han people on Ashikaga Yoshimasa for generations, such a country that always takes morality as the standard and pays attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, it is difficult to really have any big heroes. Even if it appears by chance, if he doesn't follow the rules, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be played to death by those who envy him.
The five-star army, which was no longer regarded as his opponent, was almost put in the back of his mind, but the sudden assassination of six people made him suddenly understand that this king of Wunan did not seem to be afraid of the Ming imperial power, at least he was far more confident than he imagined.
As soon as the results came out, Ashikaga Yoshimasa himself was shocked. Could it be that he must compete with this King of Wunan of the Ming Dynasty?
Of course, Ashikaga Yoshimasa is not afraid, how to say that this is also the territory of the Wa Kingdom, and he has the support and recognition of the Northern Ming Emperor, and the strength and grain and grass are many times higher than the five-star army, so there is really no reason to be afraid. If there is one thing that must be there, it is to prevent the assassination of the other party. After all, such a means can be used against others, who can guarantee that they will not deal with themselves and will not be killed against themselves?
"Matsumoto-kun, I'm going to trouble you next, please show your strength. If anyone really dares to make a move against the general, let them know that there are still the most powerful ninjas of you in the Wa Kingdom. ”
The high hat was put on, and Matsumoto Kazama really had no reason to refuse. Not to mention that the ninja forces behind him still have to be attached to the general. After all, ninjas are born to put martial arts first, which makes them ignore other directions, such as how to deal with ordinary people, how to accumulate enough money for training and daily expenses.
This characteristic also prompts them to be attached to another force in order to develop healthily and normally. Now that the gold lord has spoken, Matsumoto Kazama immediately nodded heavily and said, "Hai, please rest assured that your safety will not be compromised." ”
"Yosai," Ashikaga Yoshimasa nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his attention back to how to deal with the opposition forces of Hiraida. In his opinion, this is what needs to be solved urgently, as for the six people who were killed, they are just some nominal pawns, and they can't hinder the overall situation. Waiting for him to calm down the civil strife in the country, the five-star army general, as an outsider, had no need to gain a foothold here, so he had to leave.
It was naturally Yang Chendong's idea to kill people, and it was the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade that made the shot.
This Wolf Tooth Brigade, which was first established to complete beheadings and various urgent tasks, was just to kill six unsuspecting minor leaders of the Wa Kingdom, and it really didn't take much effort. In addition, with the complete intelligence of the intelligence department, it is not as simple as killing a chicken, but in short, it is not much more difficult.
Today's Five-Star Army is still firmly holding on to the Nankaido region. Yang Chendong knew very well that without a stable rear, it would be a terrible thing to fight with the enemy, so the army could not move now, even if it was so, such as the Wolf Tooth Special Brigade and the Ghost Shadow Blocking Brigade came in handy at this moment.
"Keep giving them orders, and let the Wolf Fang and the Ghost work well together to get their head in the limelight. Hey, there's still not enough heads! Yang Chendong sighed and said to Yang Er beside him.
Yang Er likes to see the young master's domineering spirit, and after he smiled, he went out to find the newspaper man Wang Shan, and a new bloody storm unfolded one by one in the following time.
Following the killing of six, two more minor chieftains who openly supported Ashikaga Yoshimasa were killed on the fourth day, three on the fifth day, and two more on the sixth day. When the news continued to spread, not only did the forces that had originally said that they would stand up and support Ashikaga Yoshimasa stop all their actions, but some of those who originally openly supported it even shouted slogans of opposition.
But it was just a shout, they didn't mean to make a move against the general's forces, but after shouting, they hid and hid, looking like a turtle with a shrunken head. Smart people can see at a glance that they are only doing this to save their lives, and it is just a gesture.
But such a gesture is enough to give Ashikaga Yoshimasa a headache. The death of those people was like a slap in the face on him, which made him feel that his face was dull and at the same time, he was also very angry.
"It's too much of a deception, Matsumoto-kun, and please send a master to find out how those people died. I really don't understand, won't they be vigilant? When scolding Yang Chendong's unscrupulous actions in the dark, Ashikaga Yoshimasa also hated those who were dead, and they didn't even have the strength to protect themselves, and they really deserved to be killed.
Ashikaga Yoshimasa was angry, and he thought that he had to find out the cause and then give a resolute counterattack, because this was a serious provocation to his great general.
Matsumoto Kazama's movements were fast, and three days later, he returned to Ashikaga Yoshimasa with the results. Having seen the bodies of the dead, he could easily find gunshot wounds and bullets from them.
"Oh? So, they were killed by muskets from a distance? Listening to the report, Ashikaga Yoshimasa asked in some surprise.
"Yes. I have long heard that the firearms in the five-star army are very developed, but now it seems to be true. Matsumoto Kazama nodded in acknowledgement.
The facts were in front of him, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa also had a chill in his heart. After all, the unknown is the most terrifying, what if the five-star army uses the same means on their own body? Can he defend it?
Just when his face was constantly changing and uncertain, Matsumoto Kazama on the side seemed to see something, and added another report: "I took someone to see it,
A professional investigation was also made, and the effective distance of this musket should be very far, but it was only about 600 meters, and when these people died, the guards around them were concentrated on the periphery, which gave the shooter a chance. And if we can arrange more people to protect the general close when we travel, and at the same time put the safety search distance six hundred meters away, then no one will be able to hurt the general, and these killers sent by the five-star army will not be able to succeed. ”
This answer is exactly what Ashikaga Yoshimasa wants to hear. After seeing that Matsumoto Kazama already had a specific arrangement, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I'm happy to have a personal guard captain like you." It's just that some people who make mistakes must be punished, and if they know what to do, then Matsumoto-kun should know what to do. ”
"Don't worry, General, I will arrange the most powerful ninjas to dispatch, and I must give the Five-Star Army a powerful one." Matsumoto Kazama quickly understood the meaning of Ashikaga Yoshimasa's words, and immediately replied.
Ashikaga Yoshimasa was very satisfied with this result, and reached out and patted Matsumoto Kazama's shoulder as a sign of closeness.
But they didn't know that the so-called musket could only shoot at a distance of 600 meters, and this inference was correct, and from this point of view, Matsumoto Kazama and his ninjas were quite good. But the reason why the sniper rifle hits such a close distance is simply a set set up by the Iron Tiger. The bullets were not fired from sniper rifles, but ordinary Ninety-Five, which was done in order to create an illusion that they would be slack off in their defense.
Of course, these are all things for later. At present, they are preparing to take revenge on the Five Star Army, and under the personal selection of Matsumoto Kazama, Kitamuraguchi, Suzuki Yui, and Fukishishita are selected to become ninja killers who lurk in Sanyo Road.
Ninjas are also divided into levels, from bottom to top, they are trainee ninjas, lower ninjas, middle ninjas, upper ninjas, and special ninjas. Three special ninjas were sent at once, which was already the limit that Matsumoto Kazama could send, because there were only four special ninjas in total on his side, including himself. This time, except for him who didn't do it himself, the other three special ninjas were all sent out.
It's just that the three special ninjas are dispatched, and there are no other ninjas to assist, Matsumoto Kazama is to achieve the purpose of being quiet, in order to send too many people, and the whereabouts of the ninja will be revealed.
The dispatch of the three special ninjas is very secret. Even the intelligence department of the Yang department has not found any traces, but the relevant defensive measures have already been made.
Since Yang Chendong sent out the wolf fangs and ghosts, he was ready to be counterattacked. The reason why the people below can't find it can only prove that the people who came are extraordinary and too powerful. But such a power may affect others, but it is really nothing to Yang Chendong.
Since coming to this era, Yang Chendong not only has a mysterious Okura, but even his strength is constantly rising. Especially as the power of the Yang family became bigger and bigger, after he made a request, some martial arts celebrities were found one after another and sent to Yang Chendong. Talking to these people, Yang Chendong's own strength after the move was also rising, and he had already touched the threshold of a half-step grandmaster.
