"Chapter 137: Buying People's Hearts"

The outcast feels like a piece of unpalatable candy that has been tasted and spit out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is wrong to believe in so-called eternity.

- Massimo Gramelini (Vice-President, Journalist and Columnist, Italian newspaper News)

There are many heroes and heroes who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their loyalty, but there are more ordinary people who work hard for their own future and the safety of their families, and the samurai of the Iwashimizu family are no exception.

In the face of the Iwashimizu Yoshito's unruly orders, the vast majority of samurai were unwilling to give up their loyalty to the Iwashimizu clan, preferring to use their katana to meet the wrath of the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo rather than betray their oath.

On the one hand, this is the pride of each of their samurai, and on the other hand, it is out of their own future considerations, after all, the head of the Iwashimizu family is Iwashimizu Yoshinaga, not his younger brother Iwashimizu Yoshiyo.

It wasn't until Iwashimizu Yoshikyo elevated this choice to the future of each samurai and their families that these samurai who still held katanas really hesitated, and the army of the 30,000 Yanhuang clan was not a formidable enemy that the Spo clan could deal with.

What's even more fatal is that the head of the Spo family, the old man of the Spo family, and the son-in-law of the family governor Spo Quannao, Kunohe Yasuma, have secretly surrendered to the Yanhuang family, so what reason do the samurai of the Iwashimizu family have to fight for the Spo family?

In fact, the samurai of the Iwashimizu clan really have a reason to fight for the Spo family, and that is the Iwashimizu family's Governor Iwashimmizu Yoshicho, who is a die-hard retainer who is loyal to Spo Quannao, and this is also a fact that everyone knows.

The Yamato Empire, which was in a world of great strife, had no shortage of retainers who sacrificed their lives for the sake of their own lives, and countless small families faced an existential crisis, and the retainers would betray and betray the governors they had once been loyal to for the sake of their own lives.

The troubled times of human life have already destroyed the moral bottom line of the samurai, and the samurai of the Iwashimizu family are not the kind of heroes who are willing to sacrifice everything for loyalty, they are just ordinary ordinary people.

After the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo played the emotional card, at least two-thirds of the samurai who still held their katana chose to put away their katana, and the remaining samurai, who were less than twenty people, did not choose to leave the military tent in the end.

"You don't want to put away your katana and follow me, and you haven't left the tent, so tell me, what do you want?" After getting more than a hundred samurai to follow, Iwashimizu's mood became noticeably better, and his tone of voice softened.

"General Yijiao, we are not willing to break our oath, let alone fight for the Spo family, so we want to remain neutral in your military tent, and when you become the governor of the Iwashimizu family, we will swear to serve you to the death!"

The eighteen samurai who had not made a choice quickly elected the strongest Ashigaru general, Nogi Noshinori, as their representative, to present their thoughts to Iwashimizu Yoshitori, and when he heard Nogi Noshinori explain this, a smile immediately appeared on Iwashimizu Yoshinori's face.

"Okay, I agree to your request, as long as you stay in the tent for two days, and when the dust settles, I hope that I can get your allegiance, because each of you is an indispensable force for our Iwashimizu family!"

I have to admit that Iwashimizu Yoshikyo is still very good at buying people's hearts, and his attitude towards these eighteen samurai alone is enough to relax the other samurai who choose to be loyal to him, and it is no wonder that he has so many henchmen in the army.

"In order to thank each and every one of you for your dedication to our Iwashimizu family, I will now give you the reward you deserve: each of you can be promoted to the first level immediately! Ordinary samurai will be promoted to the head of the soccer group! The head of the soccer group will be promoted to the head of the football team! The head of the soccer group will be promoted to the head of the ashikat!"

"Swear allegiance to the Governor, swear allegiance to the Governor!!Swear allegiance to the Governor!!......"

No one doesn't like to be promoted and rich, and no one is going to refuse this visible benefit, so when Iwashimizu Yoshikyo generously offered an official promotion to inspire people, everyone used their new vows to show their new stance.

Perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere in the military tent was not warm enough, Iwashimizu Yoshiyo, who had deliberately not mentioned Tojo Hideki, who was originally a general, raised his hands and pressed down, signaling the cheering samurai to calm down;

"Eiki Tojo Shogun!"

"Hey!" Hideki Tojo, who was on the side, immediately came to the front, holding a katana and kneeling on one knee in front of Iwashimizu Yoshikyo.

"In recognition of your contribution to the Iwashimizu family, from now on, you will be the first general of our Iwashimizu family!"

"This ...... Swear allegiance to the lord to the death! In this life and this life, until death!" Hideki Tojo, who was too surprised, couldn't believe that he had been promoted to the rank of family general! The joy after the shock made Hideki Tojo's oath of loyalty tremble.

All the samurai present knew that the Iwashimizu family, which was not very powerful, had never appointed a foreign samurai as a general;

Hideki Tojo was appointed by the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo as the general of the Iwashimizu family this time, and he can indeed be regarded as the first general of the Iwashimizu family, and such an unprecedented appointment made all the samurai look at the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo with eagerness.

"Nogi Noshinori Ashigaru General!"

"Ahh

"After General Tojo Hideki is promoted to general, you will assume the position of his general, and I hope that you, who are brave and fearless, can become the humerus minister of our Iwashimizu family in the future, just like General Tojo Hideki!"

"Hey, you must swear allegiance to the lord to the death! swear allegiance to the Iwashimizu family!" Nogi Noshinori, who wanted to remain neutral just now, has now become the most unwavering follower of the Iwashimizu Righteous Sect;

With the two role models in front of them, Hideki Tojo and Nogi Noshinori, the other seventeen samurai, who intended to remain neutral, selectively forgot about the demands of themselves and others, and became the unwavering followers of Iwashimizu Yoshiyo on the spot, just like Nogi Noshinori.

After all the samurai in the general's tent were subdued, Iwashimizu Yoshikyo and the others, who had achieved their goal, set out with the samurai to the castle lord's mansion of Bian Shishi's Imperial Palace, and the samurai who were in charge of guarding the castle lord's mansion did not stop the scheming Iwasicus Yoshikyo and the others.

The Iwashimizu Yoshito, who originally wanted to persuade his brother to surrender to the Yanhuang family, directly ordered his brother to be placed under house arrest in the study after half an hour of fruitless efforts, and those samurai from the City Lord's Mansion also made a new choice under the persuasion of the Iwashimizu Yoshiko.
