Chapter 43: Beatings

That afternoon, ever since Yoshihei Tsuno had met Yoshimitsu Matsukami, he had been in the midst of a battle between heaven and man in his heart. Tsuno Kahei wanted to accept Matsugami Yoshimitsu's offer to solve the current predicament of the Tsuno people, but he was not optimistic about the prospects of Matsugami Yoshimitsu and was worried that once he submitted to Matsugami Yoshimitsu, the entire Tsuno people would be dragged into danger. Thereupon. Tsuno Yoshihei summoned the main figures of the Tsuno crowd to a collegial meeting to decide the matter.

Tsuno Kahei was very prestigious among the Tsuno people, and under his summoning, the main leaders of the Tsuno people, such as Haneda Kojiro, Taro Hanino, and Tsuno Kahei's younger brother Tsuno Hirayyoshi, all rushed to Tsuno Kahei's house within a pillar of incense.

Kojiro Haneda was an impatient man, and when he saw that all the participants in the collegiate meeting had arrived, he said eagerly. "Your Highness Jiaping, why did you call us here in a hurry?"

Tsuno has long been accustomed to Haneda Kojiro's impatience, and he said disapprovingly. "Since Kojiro asked so, then the main hall will not go around in circles with you. To tell you the truth, the samurai we were caught as a fat sheep the day before yesterday was His Royal Highness Matsugami Yoshimitsu, the general of the Matsugami family of the recent Megatron Mugun, who came to Mt. Kaiba to recruit us Tsuno. This matter is related to the future of my Tsuno people, and the main hall alone does not dare to make a rash decision. I have summoned you to this hall today to hear your views on this matter. ”

"I see." The other three suddenly realized. Then they get caught up in thinking about what to do with it.

Among the three people summoned by Tsuno Kahei to participate in the agreement, Taro Hano was the oldest and the most intelligent, and at this time, he saw that the other two had nothing to say for the time being, so he stood up and said. "Jiaping Palace, as you said, this matter is related to the fate of my Jinye people. Therefore, I don't want to comment on it. I want to ask Jiaping Hall two questions before making a decision, I don't know what Jiaping Hall thinks? ”

For Taro Hano, the think tank of the Tsuno people, Tsuno Kahei has always been very respectful, after all, the several crises of the Tsuno people were also under the planning of this Yuno Taro to survive safely. At this time, Tsuno Kahei saw that he had something to ask, and hurriedly said. "Hano Hall, please speak, the main hall must know everything."

"Haha." Taro Hano answered first, and then said. "First, I want to ask His Royal Highness Kahei, whether this Matsugami Yoshimitsu really wants to recruit us, or because we were caught and wanted to use an excuse to get out. Second, if this adult really wants to recruit us, then on what terms does he want to recruit us? With that, Taro Hano stepped aside and waited for Kahei Tsuno's answer.

Tsuno Kahei said with a smile when he saw that Taro Hano suddenly asked. "Hano Temple, rest assured, His Royal Highness Yoshimitsu really wants to recruit us this time, and he is carrying a letter of recommendation written by Lord Saigo Kanhisa to the main hall this time, and there will be nothing wrong with that. In addition, His Highness Yoshimitsu promised that if the people of Tsuno accepted his solicitation, he would divide 500 koku of farmland into his own territory for us to cultivate. The land tax is only four public and six people. And if he wants to recruit the Tsuno people to fight for him in the future, he will also give us a fortune," Tsuno Yoshihei added. "Of course, if we want to join the Matsugami family, we Tsuno people will have to give up everything we have in Mt. Kaiba and move to the territory of Yoshikoden.

However, Taro Hano didn't care about Tsuno Yoshihei's last words, he listened to Tsuno Yoshimitsu's conditions for recruiting Tsuno Yoshimitsu, and then a burst of ecstasy. As the think tank of the Tsuno people, he knows that the farmland that the entire Tsuno people are currently cultivating in Mt. Kaiba is only about 500 stones. This sounds similar to the conditions promised by Matsugami Yoshimitsu, and it seems that there is no need for the Tsuno people to abandon their families and careers to work for Matsugami Yoshimitsu. However, the Katayama family's field tax on the Tsuno people is as high as eight gongs and two people. Now the Tsuno people have to worry about food and clothing in the territory of the Katayama family, but once they move to the territory of the Matsugami family, they can immediately stop worrying about it. However, Taro Hano finally calmed down, because Matsugami Yoshimitsu had a fatal shortcoming that forced him to think carefully about this matter.

Taro Hano said after weighing it in his heart. "Your Highness Kahei, ladies and gentlemen, Matsugami Yoshimitsu is very attractive in terms of sincerity and conditions for recruiting us. However, Yoshimitsu-sama's strength is still a little weak. At present, the situation of the Matsugami family and the Katayama family is also in tension, so it is better for us to wait and see for a while before making a decision. ”

"Wait-and-see? Hano Palace, wait and see, our people in Tsuno are all starving to death. Anyway, I'm fed up with the anger of this mountain family. I agreed to accept such a sincere solicitation from Yoshimitsu in the future, and if the Matsugami family and the Katayama family started a war in the future, it would be just right for the Katayama family to see how powerful my Haneda Kojiro was. Kojiro Haneda, who had been silent, immediately became very excited after listening to Taro Hanino's wait-and-see words, after all, with his character, the exploitation of the Katayama family was the most unbearable.

Taro Hano was not angry at Kojiro Haneda's rebuttal, he said heavily. "Hanedaden, isn't my Taro Hano not being oppressed by the Katayama family? I also hate the Katayama family to the bone. However, although the life of our people in Jinye is a little hard, it is still stable after all. Although the conditions of His Highness Yoshimitsu are very attractive, the weak cannot survive in the troubled times of the Warring States. We cannot easily entrust the fate of the entire Tsuno people to his hands. ”

At this time, Hirayoshi Tsuno, who had not spoken, also spoke. "What Hano Hall said is right, how can a general in Matsugami Yoshimitsu District who is no more than 3,000 stones tall convince everyone. It seems that we can just hand him over to the Katayama family, and with this great achievement, we may be able to get the Andu, which we have been hoping for. After saying that, Tsuno Hirayoshi was secretly complacent about his wit. That's right, I accepted the benefits of Kondo-sama to transfer the Tsuno people to join the Katayama family, but the current situation of the Tsuno people is hopeless, can't I exchange some benefits? The elder brother is too pedantic.

Just as Hirayoshi Tsuno was secretly smug, Kahei Tsuno suddenly punched him to the ground, and then punched and kicked him. Originally, his two capable officers were arguing about whether or not Tsuno Yoshimitsu would accept Matsugami Yoshimitsu's solicitation, which had already upset Tsuno Yoshihei, and at this time, he saw that his younger brother was still thinking of doing something that would damage the prestige of Tsuno, and he was immediately furious. Kahei Tsuno scolded while beating Yoshihei Tsuno, "Bastard, bastard." How dare you say such an insult to the prestige of my people. Look at the main hall and see the sky, it's not good to teach you a lesson. ”

At this time, Tsuno Hirayoshi could only curl up together and beg for mercy from the angry Tsuno Kahei. "Brother, I was wrong, don't fight." And Tsuno Kahei not only didn't stop, but became bigger and more ruthless.

Taro Hano and Kotaro Haneda were also very disgusted after listening to Tsuno Hirayoshi's shameless remarks, adding that it was one thing not to join the Matsukami family, but it was too inferior to give the enemy who came to recruit him in exchange for benefits. At the beginning, they were secretly happy to see Tsuno Hirayoshi being beaten. But at this time, they saw that Tsuno Jiaping seemed to be about to beat Tsuno Pingji to death, so they hurriedly persuaded: "Jiaping Temple, stop quickly." If you continue to fight, Pingjidian will die. ”

Tsuno Kahei also gradually calmed down at this time, kicked Tsuno Hirayoshi again, and scolded: "Get out, don't let the main hall see you." ”

Hirayoshi Tsuno, who fell to the ground, hurriedly ran away, but no one noticed the deep hatred in his eyes at this time.
