Tsugaru and Tsubaki asked their eldest brother to be carried off the watchtower, and he didn't know how to command the war, so he left behind the sailors who didn't know whether to live or die at sea, and fled back without their lives, but fortunately, Aomori Castle was not far from the sea, and after they fled back to the city, they closed the city gates, and didn't care about the lives of people outside the city.

Tsugaru Nobumasa was only frightened, but when he returned to the city, he came to his senses and woke up in his own home.

When his wife saw him wake up, she was overjoyed, and shouted for the house slave to fetch water.

"Master, are you awake?"

Tsugarkinase softened his forehead and asked, "How can I be at home?" ”

"Master, you fainted, and it was your brothers who carried you home."

Tsugaru Nobumasa sat up and shouted, "Shinbu! Letter! ”

"Master, they're going to dinner, can I wash your face?"

Tsubaki said angrily: "Yaga! Go and call them! ”

His wife knelt down in front of him and kowtowed, and then got up to go out, Tsugaru Nobumasa looked at the woman in clogs, and exclaimed, "You don't have to go, I'll go to them myself." ”

His wife was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground, and he walked over in front of the woman without squinting.

"Big brother, are you awake?" Tsugaru Nobutake, who was bowing his head to eat, and Tsugaru Nobukata raised their heads at the same time.

Tsubaki asked, "How is the battle situation ahead?" ”

Tsugaru Shin Martial Arts: "The enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, and after we desperately rescue you back to the city, we won't know what is going on outside." ”

"Yaga! Do you still have the heart to eat? ”

"We're hungry." Tsugaru explained.

Tsubaki Nobumasa picked up the wooden bowl that Tsubaki Nobumu was eating, slammed it to the ground, and said, "Don't eat, come with me to the city gate to have a look." ”

Where did the two brothers dare to eat any more, they hurriedly stood up and followed closely behind Tsugaru Nobumasa, and walked towards the city gate.

There were faint bursts of cannon fire on the sea, and there were not many newcomers on the street, and the few people who could be seen were all hurrying to their homes.

Aomori Castle is not very large, and you will come to the castle gate after walking two streets.

"Why are the gates closed?" Tsugar's trust in politics.

Tsugaru replied, "We are worried that the Huaxia Army will come in. ”

"Do you think you closed the gates and people won't come in?" Tsubaki glared at his younger brother, "You closed the city gates, how can our people come back?" ”

Tsugaru believed in martial arts: "I really didn't expect this. ”

"Open the gates of the city and let the people from outside the city come back!"

"Hey, I'm going to open the gates." Tsugaru replied, and then he called for someone to open the gates.

"Let's go up to the castle tower and have a look!" Tsugaru Shinmasa said, and walked towards the castle tower.

Ascending the castle tower and looking into the distance, thousands of soldiers from the Hirosaki Domain were crowded outside the city gate, while the cannon sound of the Huaxia army in the distance had not stopped.

As soon as the gates opened, the embarrassed soldiers poured into the city one by one.

Tsugaru Nobumasa sighed deeply, and then said to Tsugaru: "Third brother, you go to Edo and report to the shogunate about the war that has taken place here, and ask the general to send reinforcements as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Aomori." ”

Tsugaru asked, "Big brother, what's the point of going?" The shogunate has already given us an answer that reinforcements are out of the question. ”

Tsugaru swore that "reinforcements will definitely come, please don't spread rumors that go against the will of the army here." You get out of town now, out of town now! ”

"Big brother!"

"It's an order!" Tsugaru said sternly, "You must leave right now!" ”

Tsubaki gave a salute to Tsubishine and walked down the castle tower.

Tsubaki Nobumasa said to Tsubaki Shinto: "After the third brother leaves the city, the city gate is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

Tsubaki Shinwu asked, "Big brother, are we going to close the city and wait for help?" ”

Tsugarshine sneered: "Closed city waiting for help? Do you think the Chinese army will give us hope for life? ”

Tsugaru Shinwu asked again: "Then, the third brother ...... him?"

Tsugaru Shinmasa said: "I asked my third brother to go to Edo, apparently to ask for help, but in fact, I let him live and leave our Tsugaru family behind." ”

Tsugaru felt a chill, he shivered, and said, "Let's defend Aomori? ”

Tsugaru said indifferently: "I don't know how long you can hold out, but you immediately gather the people of the whole city and gather in the central square, and I, as their vassal master, will give them one last lecture." ”

"Hello!"

At this time, a pure white horse rushed out of Aomori Castle at the gate of the castle, and the man who rode the horse was Tsugaru Nobukata, who took the trust of his brother and moved the rescue troops in the direction of Edo.

Tsugaru Nobumasa watched from the castle tower as the third brother's white horse disappeared into the distant horizon. After retracting his gaze, he said to one of the city defense generals beside him: "Gather all our samurai, and at the same time count the sailors who have returned to the city, see how many more capable soldiers we have, and report to me after the statistics." ”

"Hello!"

The general turned to leave, but Tsugaru Nobumasa stopped him: "Mobilize all the troops and strengthen the city defenses." ”

The general of the "Hai" department saluted Tsugarmaga, and Tsugarweight Nobumasa nodded and let him leave.

After the generals left, he gathered the generals guarding the city together for a lecture, and then went down the tower.

Walking on the street, the street was full of bustling people, they were called out by the soldiers of the feudal government, and everyone gathered in the central square.

Tsubaki Xinzheng knew that the Huaxia army would not have a lot of time left for him, and it would not be long before their troops would swarm in, so he didn't have the patience to wait for the people of the city, and regardless of whether the people had arrived or not, he boarded the platform in the central square, which is a place for ordinary people to watch plays and have fun.

He stood in the center of the stage and said in a loud voice: "Subjects, be quiet! Be quiet! I have something to say to you. ”

His soldiers heard his master's words, and shouted at the people around the square, and when the noisy square had finally calmed down, he cleared his throat and cried out: "Subjects! Today the king of this vassal has something important to announce to you, and you have all listened carefully, and if you have any family members, relatives, friends, or neighbors who have not yet arrived, you must convey it to them when you return. ”

The soldiers shouted on the side, did they all understand? Listen to the vassal king's teachings!

After the scene was quiet again, Tsugaru Nobumasa continued: "Subjects, the army of Huaxia Kingdom has come over, you should know that our more than a hundred warships have not stopped their fierce attack, and they will soon come to please Aomori. They didn't come to Aomori as guests, they came to kill people. Why are they here to kill? Because we owe a debt to others......"

As Tsugaru Nobumasa said this, a cold wind swept in, and the people of the entire square were in a mess, trying to escape the bitter cold wind.

The cold wind blew the flagpoles in the square, and the cry of babies could be heard in the square......

Tsugaru Shinmasa tightened his robe and shouted loudly again, and the soldiers around him were also maintaining order.

After this cold wind, the scene finally calmed down a bit, and Tsugaru Shinmasa continued: "Why do we owe debts to others? ”

The people in the square were in a commotion again......

This one says, "Whose debt do we owe to?" Never heard of it. ”

The one said, "That's it! Even if we owe a debt, we don't have to pay it, right? Whoever owes the debt will pay it! ”

Someone else said: "Did you call us here on a cold day to help us pay off our debts?" ”
