Chapter 43: Intensify Preparations
In all fairness, Sanada Yutaka was still quite resistant to Takeda Harunobu, the enemy who killed his father, after all, his father was killed in battle with the Takeda Army, but his various injustices after his father's death made him very angry but helpless. The Sanada family was hit hard when he worked for Murakami Yoshikiyo, and after the war, instead of compensating Murakami Yoshikiyo, Murakami Yoshikiyo took away the ancestral land of the Sanada family, and he was forced to lead his clan to rely on the Uesugi family in Ueno Province, but Uesugi Kenmasa had no interest in a small wealthy family like Sanada Yukitaka. After all, compared to Murakami's support, the Sanada family is really nothing. Although Nagano has been recommended many times, it has never been reused. Later, I met Tsukahara Molong, and made immortal feats under Ninja Castle, thinking that this time I could honor everyone and return to Shinano, but who expected that Uesugi Kenmasa directly counted his credit on Nagano Yemasa's head, and did not have the slightest reward for himself. And Tsukahara Moryū, who had the greatest credit, was forced away by Uesugi Kenmasa, and not an inch of land was sealed, which made Sanada Yutaka completely disappointed in the Uesugi family. Although the banner of Molongbei has been retained and strengthened, but there is no Molongbei of Tsukahara Molong, is it still the Molongbei who stepped on the mountains and rivers and made the heroes of the Kanto region change their color? In the midst of disappointment again and again, a one-eyed lame man found himself with a letter from Tsukahara Moryu, and after a fierce ideological struggle, Sanada Yutaka decided to believe in the boy who trusted him and led him to create miracles, and secretly led his clan to Kai.
Takeda Harunobu is also very curious about the people who respect Tsukahara Molong very much, so he received the Sanada clan with a high standard, and after a conversation, Takeda Harunobu was a little disappointed, on the arrangement of troops, Sanada Yutaka is not a first-class talent, and the internal affairs are quite insightful, and he didn't want to reuse the Sanada clan, thinking of Tsukahara Molong's strong recommendation, after all, he still couldn't wipe off his face, and gave Sanada Yutaka higher than the general Ashigaru, and lower than the general of the servant. This can not only give Tsukahara Molong an explanation, but also balance the feelings of Kai's ministers.
However, Sanada Yutaka was very surprised, because the Sanada family was originally a small wealthy family, and the territory was only 1,200 stone at its peak, but after he saw Takeda Harunobu, he obviously noticed that the other party did not like him, which made him very disappointed, thinking that it would be like in the Uesugi family again. But in the end, the arrangement that the other party gave himself greatly exceeded his expectations, and now the strength of the Sanada family even exceeds that of before. After thinking about it for a while, Sanada Yutaka also understood Takeda Harunobu's psychology, and he also heard that Tsukahara Moryū recommended him and said that he was no less talented than the former Takeda family's important ministers Ganli Toratai and Itagaki Nobukata, and he was extremely grateful to Tsukahara Moryū. Thinking that he was not able to accompany the other party to leave Ueno Country when Tsukahara Molong was at his worst, and the other party treated him like this, Sanada Yutaka had a complicated heart. When he came to visit Tsukahara Molong, Tsukahara Molong greeted him first and then entertained Takeda Nobushihiro and others, which moved him even more.
Several people talked for a long time, and Iitomi Tiger Masashi euphemistically asked when Tsukahara Moryū would instruct Takeda Yoshinobu in swordsmanship. Tsukahara Molong asked with a smile, "I wonder how far Lord Iitomi wants His Royal Highness Yoshinobu to grow?" ”
Iitomi Tiger Masashi was overjoyed when he heard this, and Takeda Nobuyhiro and Yamamoto Kansuke also heard the voice of Tsukahara Moryu's words, and after looking at each other, they both saw joy in each other's eyes. However, Fan Fu Huchang still asked, "What does Molong mean?" ”
"If you teach the skills of using a sword, then you don't need to do it yourself, and what you teach in the dojo is no different from what I teach alone. If you want to learn swordsmanship, then you need to be together as much as possible, so that you can gradually affect the mood of Yoshinobu-sama, and you may be able to compete with the swordsman in the future. As for kendo...... But it's difficult, after all, Yoshinobu is the eldest son of the Takeda family, and it is impossible and should not have a kendo like me. ”
"In this case, please Molong." Takeda Nobuyhiro bowed his head and said. Although Tsukahara Muryu's bravery has long been famous all over the world, what the Takeda family values most is Tsukahara Muryu's talent that makes his allies tremble. In the past, Kohata Akabi was the strongest army in Ueno Province, but since Tsukahara Buden and others participated in the establishment of the Minowa people, this young army now has the strength to compete with Kohata Akabi. If Tsukahara Moryū can assist the Takeda family in training a strong army in Kai, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to future battles. As long as Tsukahara Moryu is tied to the chariot of the Takeda family, then such an army can be trained in a steady stream.
The few people talked freely for a long time before they separated, while Takeda Nobushi and the others went straight to Takeda Harunobu, hoping to settle the matter of forming a new army as soon as possible.
Tsukahara Molong, who got free, pulled Sanada Yutaka and did not leave, and called Sasaki Nagahide and others, who instructed his disciples to practice martial arts, and brought Toyoda Hansuke, Tsukahara Senbei and Tsukahara Nagakei who had settled down, and everyone swaggered through the market under the front and back hugs of the Demon Dragon Society, and happily came to the whale house, eating and drinking until nightfall.
However, early the next morning, Tsukahara Ink Dragon assigned the task, and the three of Toyoda Hansuke, Inukai Takeo and Tsukahara Nagakei were sent by Tsukahara Ink Dragon to deal with the sale of salt transported by the Imagawa family, and in the future, the business of Mizuya will be mainly handled by Toyota Hansuke. After all, Inukai Yio is an orthodox samurai, although he gave up a comfortable environment to follow Tsukahara Molong, but it does not mean that he will be a businessman without complaints, so Tsukahara Molong let him be mainly responsible for supervision, and there is no need to directly intervene in various affairs. Sasaki Nagahide continues to be in charge of the disciple guidance of the dojo, although he is also very young, but after all, he has been guided by the two peerless masters of the Treasure Academy, Yinrong and Tsukahara Buden, and his own qualifications are also excellent, so his martial arts are superb, even if there is a young ronin who despises Sasaki Nagahide for his bravery to challenge, Sasaki Nagahide's cross spear will also teach the other party to be a man in minutes.
As for Tsukahara Senbei and Kato Danzo, they wandered around Kai Province all day long, and took in many young orphans, and even Tsukahara Senbei accidentally met "human traffickers" who trafficked children. At first, the "traffickers" thought they were looking for trouble, but when they saw the gold that Senbei took out, their eyes immediately lit up, and they enthusiastically "sold" it.
In fact, during the Warring States Period, human trafficking was not completely disgraced as in modern times, although the society did not advocate it, but it was not much opposed, and Takeda Harunobu also did human beings business, selling women and children caught in the war. The prime of life is rarely sold everywhere, either demanding ransom or selling directly to the mines, but women and children are often locked in cages and sold everywhere. Tsukahara Senbei had been wandering for a long time before, and he had deep sympathy for these unfortunate people, so he took it upon himself to buy all the children, which caused a strange look from the "traffickers", thinking that this beautifully dressed young samurai was a special person who preferred "prostitution, child". Tsukahara Senbei looked at the gold in the money bag and found that after buying all the children, it seemed that it was a little insufficient.
The "trafficker" saw that the other party had bought more than 30 children in one go, and looked at his own money bag and was embarrassed, feeling that the other party should not be able to digest so much alone, and it was likely that he bought it for others. Thinking of the possible big market, he simply gritted his teeth and sent the two beautiful girls directly to Tsukahara Chibei, secretly thinking that the other party might enjoy it, after using these two beauties, he would be interested in Cheng, and he would be able to sell more in the future.
Seeing Tsukahara Senbei returning to the dojo with a group of children and two beautiful girls, the disciples who were practicing martial arts were stunned, wondering when their master Tsukahara Moryū was so interested in children?
"Uh......" Tsukahara Molong looked at the black pressed people in front of him, there were almost more than eighty children alone, and most of them were men, some were bought by Tsukahara Senbei, and some were adopted. There are also women, but they are all bought, and they all look good, plus two shivering beautiful girls, and their heads are suddenly big.
"Mo Long, what are you doing here with so many children?" After Sasaki Nagahide drove away the onlookers, he couldn't help but ask. Although according to Tsukahara Molong's age, he should have a family, but what does it mean to find so many children who look very good-looking at this time?
After thinking about it, Tsukahara Moryū asked the two girls, "What's your name?" ”
The two girls had obviously not recovered from their fear of the future, and when they saw Tsukahara Moryū asking, they opened their mouths tremblingly, but they never spoke. Tsukahara Molong frowned slightly, Tsukahara Senbei saw that Tsukahara Molong's face was wrong, and was about to speak, but Tsukahara Molong waved his hand: "Since you don't say it, then I don't care who you were before, in the future, you will be called Tsukahara Miao, and you will be called Tsukahara Butterfly." ”
Tsukahara? The trembling bodies of the two girls paused slightly, is this to give themselves a surname? As a commoner, there is no surname, only samurai, and it is a symbol of status and social status. I thought I would be subjected to all kinds of abuse after being bought, but the two girls who stayed found that they seemed to be thinking wrong.
"Master Xie...... Give the name ......," said the two of them, trembling on their knees.
"From this day on, you will be responsible for the care of these children. In the future, I will hold ceremonies for them one by one and serve as their ebony pro. ”
At this moment, not only Tsukahara Miao and Tsukahara Butterfly were surprised, but Tsukahara Senbei, Kato Duanzo and Sasaki Nagahide couldn't help but be speechless: Ebony hat pro? In that case, Tsukahara Molong is equivalent to their legal guardian.
"Take them to the shower first, and then go get the clothes, and in the future, you will all be trained by me."
