Tsukahara Molong and Zhou Dashuai turned to look at the young man, but they saw him come to the two with a smile: "I don't know if I have any leisure time?" ”

"We're just hanging out here, of course." Tsukahara Molong understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile.

"There's a whale house across the street, let's go there for a while." The boy seemed to be very familiar with the whale house here, and walked straight to the whale house with the two of them. Suddenly, a fierce man walked towards the young man, and when he was still five steps away from the young man, a monstrous evil aura burst out from Tsukahara Molong's body, and the man was obviously extremely sensitive to this, so he shivered at that time, and after glancing at Tsukahara Molong in shock, he hurriedly retreated. "Huh?" The young man was a little surprised to see the fierce man leave, but his eyes showed joy.

After coming to the whale house, the boy found a place, threw a gold judgment casually, and without saying anything, the people in the store understood his intentions, and hurriedly served tea and poured water, and several geisha also put on a posture and prepared to start performing.

"I think the two are powerful, and they must also be invincible brave generals, and they came to Suruga this time, but they were ordered by the master to purchase the art of war?"

"It's not really, it's just that Suruga culture is thriving, and when we first came here, we wanted to buy a few books and go back."

The boy laughed proudly, and although he tried his best to maintain a calm and elegant attitude, he obviously couldn't suppress the sense of superiority. "Although the stone is not high, Suruga Province has a prosperous culture, and it is the best in Tokaido. Therefore, there are many nobles and nobles who come here, and there are also many talented people, so many new books are written every month. ”

After the boy had fully satisfied his desire to express himself, Tsukahara Moryū asked, "Then why don't you have any books on the art of war?" ”

"Books on the art of war are very rare, and people who can write books on the art of war must have a very high attainment in the art of war. Therefore, the general's memoirs were gradually classified as books on the art of war. However, military records are more troublesome to write than books on the art of war, although the author does not need to have a high degree of military attainments, only the historical record needs to be written, but generally speaking, it is difficult to get such detailed information support. For example, the arrangement of troops on both sides and the specific battle process are difficult to know, and it is impossible to write a military record just by recording a battle. Like that eternal book, which records the history of ten years, this is not something that ordinary people can do. Fortunately, the number of people who write military records far exceeds the number of people who write books on the art of war, so in terms of quantity, there are still more military records. Of course, it's just more than the art of war books. So the price is very high. ”

"Didn't you sell the Seven Books of the Martial Arts?" Zhou Dashuai couldn't help it and asked.

"The Seven Books of the Martial Arts?" The young man was slightly stunned, and almost didn't react, "The Seven Books of the Martial Arts are the holy books of the art of war of the Ming Dynasty, how can they be sold?" ”

The Holy Book of the Art of War? Zhou Dashuai almost burst out laughing, the Seven Books of the Wujing do have a very high value in the military, and they are the treasures of the Ming Dynasty, but they are as popular as the Four Books and the Five Classics, and they are must-read publications for soldiers. In Japan, there is no even selling!

"But I heard," the young man's voice suddenly lowered, and said mysteriously: "Back then, Prince Shotoku sent people to the Ming Dynasty to ask for the "Art of War", which was listed as a forbidden book by the royal family, and then the world was in turmoil, and the thirteen chapters of "The Art of War" were lost. But it is said that there is a part that appeared in Kai! ”

Tsukahara Molong suddenly felt 10,000 grass and mud horses flying in the sky, and Takeda Shingen, who was originally known as Japan's first art of war, was blessed by "The Art of War", and always thought that the military generals in the Warring States period had a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, but Takeda Shingen had a relatively high understanding of the art of war, and his feelings were that he was a short man pulling out a general......

It is no wonder that Toyotomi Hideyoshi later gathered the Japanese heroes, mobilized 150,000 troops from all over the country, and invaded Korea twice. Although later the Japanese and Koreans tried their best to exaggerate the prestige of the Japanese army, the sharpness of the soldiers, and the strength of the fierce generals, the praise was simply boundless. For example, in order to show Yi Sunsin's sharpness, the Koreans in the Battle of Mingliang simply praised the Ming Navy as the main force and the Japanese Navy as the main force and the Japanese Navy in the Battle of Mingliang (note, not all of them were battleships, many of them were troop carriers).

However, although Yi Sunsin was not as miraculous as the Koreans boasted, he was a very respectable person, not only loyal to the country after being treated unfairly, but also when the vanguard led by the Ming Dynasty general Zheng Zilong launched a strong attack on the Japanese army, but was mistakenly attacked by the Korean navy, causing the battleship to catch fire, he resolutely led 300 dead soldiers to support, and died in battle.

However, the final result of the two Japanese invasions was the same, first by the Ming Dynasty commander Li Rusong led by the 50,000 Ming army to the eye, and then by Ma Gui led the 80,000 Liaodong garrison army to smoke even the mother did not know the mother, was simply angry to death, and finally with naval superiority will hinder the Ming army's sea supply, making it difficult for the Ming army to launch further offensives due to the long supply line, so that the main force was reluctantly withdrawn to Japan. The two battles with the Ming Dynasty swept away the majesty of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a powerful man in Japan, and let Tokugawa Ieyasu take advantage of it in vain. However, this made Tsukahara Molong have a strange thought: what would happen if a martial artist who received the military education of the Ming system came to Japan?

"Well, it doesn't really matter if you have a book on the art of war or not." The young man had a scowling expression: "It's enough to have a master." ”

"Master?" Tsukahara Molong's first reaction was to think of Tsukahara's Buchuan, but he doesn't seem to know much about the art of war......

"Yes, although those who are well versed in the art of war often do not write books on the art of war, they are also human beings, and the greater the power in their hands, the more people they will associate with, and if you ask them, they will not be able to refuse." In the martial arts, a sword hero like Tsukahara Buchuan can open a dojo, regardless of qualifications, as long as he pays money, he can become a registered disciple and practice in the dojo. However, if you want to learn subtle martial arts, you must practice hard, or you must have good qualifications, be valued by Tsukahara Buchuan, and you can become a formal disciple, and occasionally you can get Tsukahara Buchuan's guidance. Disciples like Tsukahara Moryū are cultivated by Tsukahara as a successor, and they can learn the mysteries of martial arts.

Unlike martial arts, there was no place to teach the art of war during the Warring States period in Japan, after all, it was a secret of the samurai, and they belonged to the ruling class, and they did not want to see the ruled class learn the art of war, and it was difficult to clean up when preventing rebellion. At this time, the difference between a samurai family and a solo worker is also reflected. A samurai family must have many people who have participated in the war, and if they accumulate military exploits over the years, it is easier to obtain fiefdoms, so as to break away from the identity of the front-line death squad and become a commander. If you accumulate further, you will have more battles under your command, and you will naturally have more experience. If the uncle was such an experienced commander, then the young sons and nephews of the clan could naturally ask them directly for advice on the art of war. For the sake of strengthening the overall strength of the family, these people often do not refuse the request of the juniors, which makes the starting point of the art of war of the samurai family much higher than that of those who work alone.

In addition, the existence of a samurai family for generations must be inextricably linked with other samurai families, and with these connections, the children of this samurai family can also ask the generals of other families for advice on the art of war, and often will not be refused. And if you are alone, it is easy to eat the closed door.

"Who is the best master of the art of war in Suruga Province?" Tsukahara Moryū asked.

"Of course, it's Master Taiyuan Xuezhai." The young man didn't think about it, so he said: "Master Taiyuan Xuezhai is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and Yiyuan Gong is guided by him. ”

"I see." Tsukahara Molong and Zhou Dashuai touched their chins, but their movements were surprisingly consistent.

"I'm sorry to disturb the three adults." A voice suddenly came, and the three of them turned their heads to see that it was a young man of about sixteen years old, although he was almost one meter six, but unlike the little fat man just now, his face was vegetable, if he was not dressed properly, he was afraid that even the door of the whale house would not be allowed to enter.

"Who are you?" Zhou Dashuai looked at this young man vigilantly for a year, and since Tsukahara Molong was attacked by ninjas, he has always been worried about his safety.

"The small one is called Toyota Hansuke ......"

Toyota? Tsukahara Molong suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, isn't that the famous Japanese chaebol group in the future? "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Ha, the little one just saw the two adults burly and strong, heroic and extraordinary, they must be the first-class brave generals in the world, I am very admirable, and I am excited to ask to see the two, I hope to help the two."

"Help? Do you know what we need? "Tsukahara Molong is interested.

"The way to promotion." Toyoda Hansuke said.

"Oh? How so? Tsukahara Molong asked with a smile.

"Although I see that the adults are dressed plainly, their arm joints are strong, and they are even more dragon and tiger when they walk, and they must be superb in martial arts. The katana is the soul of the samurai, and the adult's scabbard looks like it's been around for some years. This time I went to the Tomano Book House, first glanced around the store, and then asked about the Art of War book, which shows that this is the first time that the adult has come to the book store to buy books, and his observation is even more astonishing, and he can sweep the book in such a short time. Think about it, if an immortal brave man came to the bookstore to buy a book on the art of war, how could it be like this if he didn't lack a way to be promoted? ”

The three of them were also quite surprised when they heard this, and the Toyota Hansuke in front of them ...... Eyesight isn't usually good.

"So how can you help me?" Tsukahara Moryū said tentatively.

"If you are still not promoted, it may be due to the management of the army, and on the other hand, it may be due to government affairs. When there are not too many people under the lord's command, he often has to show his versatile side. After all, if you want to start a war, you need to have sufficient logistics support, and the hoarding of grain, grass and ordnance on weekdays, and the governance of the territory are all credits. If you are an adult who is brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and governing the country and the people on the battlefield, why can't you be promoted? After speaking, Toyoda Hansuke solemnly took out three books from his arms. I have here three family biographies written by Hanoi people, and I have a lot of insight into the affairs of governance within the territory. ”

"Oh?" Tsukahara Moryū took a copy, flipped through it casually, and felt that it was really good, although he had learned the art of using military forces from Nagano Yoshimasa and Kohata Kenshige for a period of time, but if it was to govern the territory, he was indeed a little anxious. Although he had knowledge beyond this era, it was suitable for modern China at that time, and it was very different from Japan during the Warring States period.

Seeing Tsukahara Molong showing a satisfied expression, Toyoda Hansuke breathed a sigh of relief. "If you want it, you only need 50 pieces."

Zhou Dashuai subconsciously wanted to help Tsukahara Molong pay for it, but Tsukahara Molong suddenly laughed: "I remember that the price of this book in Tomono Book House is fifteen yuan, why did three books become 50 yuan?" ”

Toyoda Hansuke's face turned pale in an instant, and he quickly knelt down, just about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but Tsukahara Molong waved his hand: "Your surname is Toyota, right?" So it's also a samurai family? ”

"The villain's grandfather was a samurai, but his grandfather and father fought against the Hojo Army during the Great War of Heto, and unfortunately died in battle, and the territory was also taken away by his uncle. The villain no longer has the identity of a samurai, and he has no territory, so he works at Tomono Shoya. Toyoda Hansuke almost cried and said, Tsukahara Moryu's insight is too keen, sharp to the point of being frightening, just by deceiving him, as a samurai, Tsukahara Moryū is not responsible for cutting him down, so he has to tell the truth.

"Do you want to be reinstated as a samurai?" Tsukahara Molong didn't get angry, but asked gently.

"Yes! Dream it! As soon as Toyoda Hansuke heard that there was a door, he immediately hit the snake with a stick, and he almost hugged Tsukahara Molong's thigh to show his loyalty. He lost the protection of his family, and he had a very bad time at the Yuno Book House. Although his ability has made the bookstore's business much better, for which the boss has praised him several times, but his sharp edge has aroused the hostility of other clerks and is often ostracized.

"In Shimotsukahara Molong, Toyoda Hansuke, are you willing to be from me?"

"Yes...... Tsukahara Moryū!!! Toyoda Hansuke jumped up, and this shout was not only heard by the whale house, but also by several surrounding streets.
