Chapter 134: The Japanese Soldier Training Camp
Wako is just a ronin, and they can't be called samurai, so where does the bushido spirit come from.
What's more, the so-called spirit of bushido is still missing.
Now, the Edo period has just begun.
If you really want to talk about it, it is the chrysanthemum painted by my father-in-law himself that can better show the spirit of the samurai.
The surrendered Japanese were soon sent to the Central Left Office, and after interrogation, it was learned that this group of Japanese people was not a Japanese robber, but a shogunate soldier led by Murayama Akian who attacked Taiwan, led by Akashi Michiyu, who escaped from Taiwan.
Akashi Michiyu was also difficult, he took two boats to Taiwan, but one was surrounded by the indigenous people and committed suicide, and the other did not dare to return to Ryukyu under his leadership, so he floated on the sea, and met another scattered ship on the way.
The two boats lived together like this, helping each other, but neither dared to return to Ryukyu, because Murayama Akiyasu was a violent temper, and God knows if this guy would be angry with them.
I originally wanted to float on the sea for a few days, and when the storm passed, I went back to Japan directly, but I didn't know that the typhoon blew into the waters of Fujian. The wind stopped and there was no food on the boat, and it happened to find that there was an island of the Ming Dynasty in the sea in front of him, and the hungry Akashi Michido took his heart to the island as a wolf.
Originally, I just wanted to get some food, find a place to rest and rest, how do I know that Fujian has not made trouble for many years, Akashi and their gang came over coldly, but the place was frightened, and even the provincial city of Fuzhou was frightened in the daytime.
If he knew that his gang was making too much noise, Akashi Michiyu would have killed him and wouldn't have beaten that island. Well, now that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are here, there are a total of 126 people in two boats under his command, and there is no danger to rely on Tung Chung Island, how to fight?
The Chinese have a saying that the one who knows the times is Junjie, and Akashi Michiyu, who knew that he could not hold Tung Chung Island and could not defeat the Ming warships, made a wise choice and led 126 of his subordinates to surrender to Song Cheng.
As a result, Song Cheng is also famous, and his heroic deeds are spread everywhere in Fujian, calling him a brave hero who "one person descends to a hundred widows". The brigade asked for merit for him, and he was directly promoted to the third level in the company, from the commander of the small banner to the leader of the hundred households.
It didn't cost a single soldier to surrender 126 Japanese people, and Gonggong Wei was also happy, because this shows that the Ming Imperial Army has the power of the tiger in all directions under his leadership.
If it weren't for his father-in-law Wei being a real hero, a real hero, how could his subordinates be such a brave hero!
Huang Chengxuan, the governor of Fujian, was also overjoyed after receiving the report that the Japanese on Tung Chung Island had been pacified, considering that the days of dealing with the Wei eunuchs in the future would be very long, and the combined fleet did have a pivotal position in the pacification of the sea frontier, so he was happy to be a favor, and wrote to the imperial court that "the maritime affairs of Fujian today, unless the admiral eunuch Wei can't." ”
..........
Gonggong Wei personally met with the surrendered Akashi Daoyou and his entourage.
"Fellow Daoist..."
Akashi's name made Wei Gonggong feel a little weird, and subconsciously the word Daoyou was often followed by "please stay". Fortunately, this Akashi Taoist friend did stay, if he didn't stay, how could he stand in front of his father-in-law at this moment.
However, although Akashi Michiyu and other Japanese soldiers surrendered voluntarily, they committed a murder on Tung Chung Island, killing six innocent fishermen on the island, so this account must be investigated.
Akashi is the leader of this gang, and there is no reason for him to kill people, but considering that the other party surrendered voluntarily, and he is a shogunate soldier, he is familiar with the internal situation in Japan and the Ryukyus, and if he uses it well, he is a qualified "Imperial Army".
Therefore, the father-in-law made an exception and did not hold Akashi accountable for the main crime, but only hinted that the other party must hand over the murderer, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the imperial court.
Akashi is also a master who can be open-minded, and without saying a word, he handed over the six Japanese soldiers in the team who were not convinced by him. So he was executed in public, six heads were cut off and packed and sent to the provincial capital, and the Japanese soldiers were ordered to hand over the gold and silver obtained from the looting to comfort and compensate the families of the dead fishermen.
In this way, the matter is resolved satisfactorily.
The commander of the 1st Infantry Wing, Ichiro Sanada, was a member of the Second Army of the Japanese invasion of Korea and was a warrior of the Imperial Army cultivated by his father-in-law Wei, so the placement of Akashi and others was entrusted to Sanada.
The existence of Sanada Ichiro and other Japanese officers surprised Akashi Michiyu and them, and after learning more about the number of Japanese officers and soldiers in the Ming Imperial Army, Akashi and others were even more dumbfounded.
"Bastard, we are the warriors of the Ming Kingdom, the most loyal family elder of the lord! ... You drops, lackeys of the reactionary shogunate, hawk dogs! Ichiro Sanada angrily rebuked a Japanese soldier who had made a gaffe and said they were Japanese.
Akashi and the others didn't dare to say a word.
Later, Sanada receives a notice that the lord is going to meet with Akashi Michitomo. Sanada then took Akashi and the others to the temporary base camp.
After meeting Akashi Michiyu and others, Wei Gong justly and solemnly condemned Akashi and others' aggression against the Ming Dynasty.
His old man even said: "If you love to live in Dongfan, then I am not allowed to cross the sea, and I will be sad in the slightest!" The implication is that Taiwan is also Chinese territory, and the Japanese shogunate must not set foot in Taiwan, otherwise it will also be an invasion of the Ming Dynasty.
Later, his father-in-law inquired in detail about the details of Murayama's fleet, and learned that Murayama Akiyasu and about 2,000 shogunate soldiers were currently staying in the Ryukyus, so his father-in-law had a plan.
After the old man pondered for a moment, he looked at Akashi Michiyu and said, "I heard that you Japanese samurai all wear swords, why don't you wear them?" ”
"The Great Tomorrow Envoy is approaching, and the villain does not dare to wear a sword." Akashi Daoyou said, in fact, it was not that he didn't want to wear a sword, but that the sword had already asked the Ming army to accept it.
Gonggong Wei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have surrendered to my Ming Imperial Army, and then you will be a member of my Ming Imperial Army, I have no discrimination and prejudice against you, as long as you can make meritorious contributions, I will also reward and punish together." ”
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and commanded Sanada: "Since you are a samurai, you should take a saber and quickly take his saber." ”
Sanada immediately instructed his subordinates to take Akashi Michito's sword, and Wei Gonggong took it and personally gave it to Akashi Michiyu to wear, and solemnly said: "The saber is a symbol of the samurai, and to return the sword to you today is to restore your samurai status and encourage yourself with the spirit of a samurai." ”
"Hello!"
Akashi Michitomo was very grateful, and intuitively felt that the angel of the Ming Dynasty in front of him was really the confidant who knew the most about samurai in the world.
"The villain is willing to swear to the death for the adult!"
Akashi makes the action he should do, which is also the proper meaning, the other party does not kill himself, he should serve the other party, this is the basic understanding of a samurai.
Gonggong Wei nodded with satisfaction, but said to Akashi Daoyou that if you want to serve in the Ming Imperial Army, you must first accept a political assessment.
"Political assessment?"
Akashi was stunned for a moment, his Chinese was very good, but what this political assessment meant, he was very confused.
"You'll know when you go to the class."
My father-in-law waved his hand and ordered Sanada to take Akashi and the others down, and later the personnel sent by the base camp would go to the 1st Wing to organize the "Japanese Soldier Study Class", which was also called the training camp.
Only those who pass the political examination in the study class can become an outstanding officer and soldier of the Ming Imperial Army.
