When you think of the island country, it seems that the four seasons are like spring, and even if there is snow, it is the hot springs in Hokkaido, and the monkeys who soak comfortably in the spring water.

But these are just the modern people of the developed era in later generations to enjoy, this era, the snow of the Wa country, is very big! It's cold!

Half of the trees are buried under the snow, the branches are swaying, a few black shadow rats are picking up the snowdrifts, and the splashes of snowflakes are faintly reflected in the sunlight, however, this is not romantic, but it is extremely cruel, I don't care about the hands that hurt from the cold, and I can't care about the hard body of the tree, and I peel off the hard bark, and the soft body of the tree is revealed, and it is immediately torn off and stuffed into the mouth.

Several people were like wild deer, competing for the dry and cold bark, and one of them, thin and small, became an advantage here, relying on a small squeeze to the front, tearing off a large piece and squeezing back outside, just like eating the best kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto, all the sweet and snorting were rolled into the mouth, and the stomach that had been gurgling for several days was finally comforted a little, and sitting in the snow pit, the little man's swarthy face finally showed a little satisfied laziness.

But before this moment of happiness, which was as cheap as dirt, there was a flutter, and a rain of slender arrows plunged into the snow in front of him, which also frightened the little man into a clever one.

"The samurai are coming!"

I don't know who yelled, and the black rats who were still gnawing on the bark of the lonely tree immediately scattered in fright, but the dense rain of arrows would not distinguish all the innocents, and the raindrops fell like that, and the people who had eaten the tree just now rushed to the ground, and the hot blood spilled one by one, but it re-nourished the injured trees.

The little man rushed forward in fright, but with a poof, the prime man of the same village screamed and was shot down in front of him, and ran back in a trembling manner, on the side of the hill that was not high, the samurai wearing a red carcass pill and a three-star family pattern painted on the neck flag behind him held high the samurai sword with a cold light flashing, burning up like a fire in winter, and then turned back and wanted to run, I don't know when, on the hillside behind him, the samurai wearing a black carcass and a three-leaf sunflower pattern on the neck flag was also holding a spear and roaring and rushing forward.

There was no escape, so the little man simply held his head and rolled into the snow pit that had just been dug.

In the sky, countless arrows rained together, and shot fiercely into the body of the opponent's samurai, and the person who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground suddenly, and the wound quickly stained a large area of white snow with a hot bright red, and quickly turned into a cold frozen corpse in the ice and snow under the spasm. Then came a fierce hand-to-hand encounter, and in the little man's trembling, the katana and the samurai spear collided violently in the head, and the blood droplets from the desperate cries of the dying samurai were as brilliant as when the cherry blossoms were withering.

I don't know how long the hellish battle lasted, and finally it reverted to a dead silence again, only the satisfied chirping of the crows and the fluttering of wings could be heard, and the unlucky tree was injured by mistake seven or eight times, and it also fell down with a bang, and a burst of rat-like stumbling at the foot of the tree suddenly sounded, and the corpses piled up full of pits seemed to come to life, and the arms and thighs drooped to one side, and finally, a black face full of blood and ice came out of the pile of corpses with difficulty, full of confusion, The little man looked down with his eyes.

Within a radius of several miles, dense red and black met each other, and it stretched for more than ten miles, and under the weak sun, the white snow was dyed red.

The black of the three-leaf Aoi still overwhelmed the three-star red, trampling on the Maori family crest, the black shogunate army carried the spear that was still stained with blood and marched forward for a long time, and a dozen daimyo wearing red armor also knelt under the banner of the three-leaf Aoi, with a flattering smile on their faces, and kept kowtowing.

If Mao Jue is here, he will definitely recognize that this horned helmet standing under the banner of the Tokugawa family, with a bead in the middle, is still an old acquaintance, his old opponent under Nagasaki Castle, Matsudaira Nobutsuna!

Originally, Lao Tsunade was defeated in a series of battles on Kyushu Island, and he was going to lead the army back to Edo, so he was going to be convicted, but Mao Jue was too capable of fighting, not to mention Kyushu, and he also killed Honshu Island in one breath, and beat the Maeda family to 1.2 million stone daimyo Wow Wow Cry, Japan Zhang Fei, Honda Tadakatsu's son Tadashi was also defeated again and again, and he also hit Edo Castle in one breath and collapsed the big castle tower built by Tokugawa Ieyasu and his old man like a pockmark.

Besides, this time the Tokugawa shogunate was slapped in front of the princes of the world, and the shogun's family had to find someone to save face, as the daimyo of the clan, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was carried out again, and he was not accused of rebellion, but he was blowing everywhere, don't look at the fierce and cruel thief of Mao Jue, his two brushes, our Tokugawa family has long known!

As for knowing why he didn't stop it, no one asked much.

This time, the Maori family rebelled, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who regained his reuse, once again hung the seal of the general and led the Kwantung samurai to the west.

It really responds to Yuan Chonghuan's evaluation, the Maori family seems to be violent, but in fact, it is a grasshopper after the autumn, and it can't be jumped for a few days, no, in the Maori family's An Yun country, the Maori family tasted the sad taste that Ishida Mitsunari once sang on the battlefield of the Sekigahara War 34 years ago.

This time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna also learned a handful of Mao Jue, not in Bizen, Misaku these mountainous narrow areas and the momentum of the Maori army entangled, relying on the shogunate's advantage of manpower and material resources to lead the whole Wa country, take Awaji Island, Shikoku Island directly landed in Anyu, under the nose of the outstanding Maori family in history, the water army showed off.

The back road was exploded, whether it was Maori Shushi or Shidaoliang Village, it was obvious that they were not so bold masters, and they gave up the nearby Kamiraku Kyoto, and conquered more than a dozen daimyo and the old ministers who once belonged to the Maori family, and the army of about 80,000 braved the heavy snow and cold, withdrew from Misaku, and traveled thousands of miles to meet Matsudaira Nobutsuna.

In fact, coming from afar, Matsudaira Nobutsuna's troops must not be much, and the Tokugawa family's army in his hands is only in his early 40,000s, but it is similar to Mao Jue's strategy, he can preset the battlefield, rest the army, and wait for work.

And then there's today's scene.

In the Battle of Sekigahara that year, the main force of the Eastern Army attacked the Western Army in turn, and all the troops at hand had been put into the battlefield, Ishida Mitsunari ordered people to light the wolf smoke and call all allies, it was time to defeat the enemy in a sentence, but the Maori family, who was the general of the Western Army, did not move, and was known as Nangong Mountain without fighting, and sat and watched Ishida Mitsunari perish.

Today is like history repeating itself, the tired Maori samurai with the anger of betrayal, shouting and fighting fiercely to attack the Matsudaira Nobutsuna army formation, when the fierce battle is in full swing, Shidaoliang Village ordered to light the wolf smoke, and ordered the subordinate Maori family to join forces, the statue, the Akizuki, and the family daimyo of the Thousand Hands marched together, but just like Nangong Mountain without a fight, more than a dozen daimyo more than 40,000 new troops also let the wolf smoke blacken half of the sky, but none of them responded.

Here, Matsudaira Nobutsuna used the tactics of the Tokugawa Ieyasu Osaka Summer Formation, using the Chinese army's main formation to attract the Maori family, retreating in its continuous attack, stretching the battle formation, and the main force is constantly attacking the Maori family's main formation on both flanks, I have to admit that although it is tired, but with the resentment in the stomach, these Maori samurai are also fighting bravely, but no matter how powerful the army is, it can't withstand the two-sided attack, even if Sanada Yukimura, who is known as Japan's first soldier, was defeated under the hands of Tokugawa Ieyasu, The Maori family also did not have many kidneys.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the main force of the Maori family, which had been fighting for most of the day, completely collapsed, and thousands of one-character three-star samurai fled the battlefield exhausted, and about 35 to 4,500 people were killed and wounded here.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't chase it, on the one hand, the Tokugawa army was not a few injured under the offensive of the Maori samurai, and the formation is now a little chaotic, on the other hand, there are still more than 40,000 dozen soy sauce on the battlefield, which is also a force.

So at that moment again, under the promise of the shogunate's envoy not to blame in the past, more than a dozen daimyo once again knelt down under the Tokugawa family's three-leaf aoi pattern, and sent troops for three months, and the great cause of the Maori family in the western country came to naught.

In the cold wind, there is still a strong smell of blood, faintly, and you can see that in the middle of the battlefield, under a broken tree on the gentle halfway up the mountainside, there is a stupid figure looking at the corpses all over the ground in a daze, and there is no regular meeting to kneel on the ground and kowtow to the Qiu Yue family and other big names, Matsudaira Nobutsuna himself spit out a few mouthfuls of cold air first.

This kung fu, a sigh of praise sounded behind him, and it can be regarded as Mao Jue's old acquaintance, Matsudaira Nobutsuna's ally in the court, and the old man who came to the battlefield in person, this old man was wrapped like a Maitreya Buddha, got down from the box-sized sedan chair, laughed and walked over with his fists.

"It deserves to be the tiger of the domain! I think that the Maori family is also a temporary hero, fighting hard for more than three months, defeating the shogunate several ways to crusade the army, but as soon as the Nobu Tsunade came out, he was defeated in a battle, and it seems that the old man promised his granddaughter to go back to see the cherry blossoms with her, and it can be realized! Haha!"

If it's an oil painting point, it's time for a bit of sycophants to go up, everyone is happy, how good, but a famous general is a famous general, as a few top-notch think tanks of the Matsudaira family, Matsudaira Nobutsuna not only has the joy of victory, but is a deep gaze, looking at the southwest.

"If it's a Maori family, with Matsudaira Nobutsuna alone, it's enough to destroy it, and it's not a problem to uproot a major hidden danger in the southwest of the shogunate, and I'm afraid of the one on the other side of the sea, and he won't give up this opportunity, Aoyama Gong, you still don't look at things too simply!"

"Fight, and there will be fighting!"

Qingshan Xingcheng couldn't help choking when he said this, and for a moment, the little old man shook his head in disbelief.

"Xinganggong is too worried! He Ming Dongjiang Mao Jue is indeed a great general, but after all, he is also a military general under the command of the Ming State, the envoy of the shogunate has landed from Zhejiang, and the envoy of the Ming State has been in Beijing for a few months, according to the Ming State's habit of beware, maybe that Mao Dongjiang has been locked by the Jinyi Guard to take the Beijing Division, is it still possible for him to interfere in our Wa Kingdom? ”

"It's not possible, he, he should have already done it!"

His gaze was as cold as a cold wind, but Matsudaira Nobutsuna's gaze shifted from the southwest, and instead looked back in the direction behind him.

"Maybe this time, it's no less than the battle of Sekigahara! To decide the joint battle of the world, on the side of the shogunate, I hope that the old and middle-aged adults will mediate a lot, and they must be prepared in advance! ”

Having said that, Aoyama Yukinari was also moved a little by the words, but thinking about the quarrel between the shogunate elders and middlemen before the army, the old man Aoyama also spit out a mouthful of white mist with difficulty.

…………

It is your enemy who knows you best! This sentence is really true, when this Maori family has not yet shown defeat, Mao Jue has already begun to act, and this time his tentacles are still deep in the body of an old acquaintance, Kyushu Island.

Shimazu family, Kagoshima Castle of Satsuma Domain.

Kyushu Island has always been regarded as the countryside of the Wa Kingdom, and it is also completely different from the prosperous Kanto, and it is completely different from the Edo Tokugawa Great Castle Tree and Osaka Toyotomi Great Castle Tree, which flaunts its authority, and the stone and wood structure of the Shimazu three-story turret has always maintained a strong military flavor, the wall is at least twice as thick as the Tokugawa Great Castle Tree, and there are more than a dozen large barrels on the second floor to defend it.

Different from the Tokugawa shogunate, the samurai retainers here also retain the most powerful and primitive traditions of the samurai, and on the main hall, from the family governor Shimazu Hisamitsu, to the lower feudal lord Shimazu this and that, thirty or forty people, all of them are Mediterranean-style moon leaders, bald in the middle, with a knife on the side of the left hand, and kneeling in the middle.

A pair of eyes, like an old wolf staring at a sheep, staring at the middle.

However, under the convergence of these eyes, Song Datou was not embarrassed at all, but the old god was there, holding his arms with a smile.

To tell the truth, he is really grateful to Mao Jue for sending him to envoy to the Wa Kingdom, in the Ming Dynasty, he is a Song shorty, Song Datou, but here, his height has actually reached the average height, and even these warriors here are even shorter than him, which makes the vanity of the Song army division very satisfied.

People have confidence and self-confidence, and what they do is naturally twice the result with half the effort, and they are not used to sitting on their knees like them, standing in the middle of the hall with an arm in their arms, with the pride of the Heavenly Empire, Song Xiance asked calmly and proudly.

"Master Shimazu, this is the third day, haven't you thought about it yet? Is it Tokugawa or Toyotomi? The time of the envoy is limited!"
