Chapter 144: Variables
After Tsuda Nobusumi left, he held the horn head pocket and said to Suzuki Heavy Industries and the others, "Go back, rest early!" With that, he stepped forward to help the stumbling right Ichisuke, and motioned for Shinsuke Yamashita and the two to return to the dormitory.
The next day, the sleeping Burning Sky was awakened by Shinsuke Yamashita, who patted his somewhat drowsy head and said to Shinsuke Yamashita, "Are things ready?" Yamashita Shinsuke nodded and said to the burning sky, "The lord should wash his face first!" After hearing this, Burning Sky nodded, turned his head to look at Suzuki Heavy Industries and Youichizuke, who had woken up, and nodded at the two.
After cleaning up, he strode out of the lodging with the horn head pocket in one hand and the knife at his waist with the other. Outside the lodging, Tsuda Nobusumi, Shibata Katsumasa, and Tokii Katsu and others were already waiting for the Burning Sky, who walked forward with a smile and bowed his head to everyone and said, "I will leave today in the next day, and I will come to see you off, and I wish you all good luck and prosperity!" ”
After everyone stepped forward one by one and said a few words of farewell to the burning sky, the burning sky bowed to everyone again, then turned over and got on the horse, and gradually blended into the flow of people along the avenue. After a brief chat, the people who had bid farewell to the burning sky also returned to Gifu City together.
Two days later, the group returned to Azuchi. Looking at the well-organized Azuchi Town, there was an infinite smile on the face of the burning sky. After a few glances at Azuchi, he entered the barrage. When the samurai and the ashigaru on duty saw the burning sky returning, they all bowed their heads and saluted the burning sky, and the burning sky nodded to everyone.
At this time, Fushiwa Akijiro also walked out of the house, walked quickly to the sky, and said to the sky: "The lord is back!" After listening to Fushiwa Akijiro's words, Burning Sky rolled off the horse with a smile and said to Fushiba Akijiro, "Yes, I'm back!" With that, he said to the samurai, "Gorou Guard, Ichisuke on the right side will stay on duty in the middle of the house, and the others will follow me to the house to talk." ”
Ichisuke on the right took the reins of the burned horse and pulled the burned war horse into the stable. Yamashita Shinsuke commanded Ashigaru to carry the box containing the Eiraku Tongbao to the Burning House. The samurai followed the Burning Sky to the house and sat down in turn according to the rules they had agreed with each other.
Burning Sky looked at the people who were already seated, coughed and read the Wanxing form he had obtained to the samurai, and the samurai were also excited after hearing Burning Sky's words. While the samurai were still excited, Burning Sky immediately began to judge everyone's merits. Among them, Fushiwa Akijiro Naosumi was burned because of his outstanding military exploits, and he was burned and raised to 150 stones. Later, he affirmed the merits of the samurai and rewarded them with money.
After judging the merits of the samurai, the Burning Sky brought up the separation of the peasants and soldiers, hoping that the samurai under his command would express their opinions on this. Fushiwa Akijiro, who had just received a salary increase, listened to the plan for the separation of the peasants and soldiers from the burning sky, and asked the burning sky: "My lord, if the current ashigaru is converted into a standing ashigaru, I'm afraid that there will be difficulties in financial resources?" ”
After listening to Fushiwa Akijiro's words, Yamashita Shinsuke on the side also said: "Lord, there is not much food and weapons in the warehouse now, I am afraid it will be difficult to support the lord's plan, and the defense facilities of the new temple will also be built, and it is really difficult to support it financially, but the lord can first set up a standing reserve of no more than twenty people, and wait for the summer harvest and autumn harvest to expand the standing reserve!" ”
After listening to the words of the two, Burning Sky said with a smile: "I didn't say that it is light to convene a hundred standing guards at once, you don't have to panic, I am ready to convene twenty standing preparations first to see the after-effects, and it is more important to build a new one at present." After hearing the words of the burning sky, the samurai breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said to everyone: "Now we have to take advantage of the fact that there is no war, cultivate and reorganize, the lord's goal this year is in Gyeonggi, we have to have more wars to face this year, you are all ready, you can't relax for a moment in practicing martial arts!" ”
The samurai bowed their heads when they heard Burning Sky's words, and Burning Sky waved his hand to signal that this was the end. Seeing this, the samurai bowed their heads and bowed and pushed out of the burned room, and the burning sky looked at the people who left, and secretly sighed in their hearts that the separation of peasants and soldiers was urgent, and they had to come step by step.
Suzuki Heavy Industries, who saw that all the samurai had gone out, walked into the house and asked the contemplative Burning Sky, "My lord, I wonder what my lord thinks about the purchase of iron cannons?" After listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, Burning Sky said with a wry smile: "At present, limited by financial resources, the purchase of iron cannons will inevitably be delayed again, and the baked jade will have to be talked about later." ”
After listening to the words of the burning sky, Suzuki Heavy Industries lowered his head and said: "Lord, the standing convening can be done slowly, but there is one thing at present, I think that His Majesty the Lord will complete it quickly, otherwise it may cause a big disaster!" After hearing this, Burning Sky was shocked, and then after pondering for a few seconds, he said to Suzuki Heavy Industries, "What did Goroubei say?" ”
When Suzuki Heavy Industries heard Kinku's words, he got up and closed the door of the house, and then asked Kinku, "Can the death of Lord Azuchi and his family be related to the lord?" ”
After listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, Burning Sky looked at the man in front of him who was a few years older than him, and said to Suzuki Heavy Industries: "What does Azuchi-sama have to do with me dying in the melee?" Suzuki Heavy Industries looked at the denial of the burning sky, smiled and did not speak, then got up and walked to the wooden door, paused for a while, and then walked to the front and said to the burning sky: "This matter is not important now, but the death of the Azuchi Lord's family is expected to be investigated quickly, and it is just a reminder to the lord in the next, and there is some homesickness in the next place, if the lord is allowed to visit in the next home." ”
After listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, Burning Sky suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, Suzuki Heavy Industries seemed to know what he was doing, and Suzuki Heavy Industries was testing himself. Now Suzuki Heavy Industries knew that he wasn't telling him the truth, so he gave himself another choice, let him go or... Thinking about it, the right hand of the burning sky has already touched the ribs.
Suzuki Heavy Industries looked at the silent Burning Sky, and slowly placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist. In the end, as if he had made up his mind, he got up and walked in front of Suzuki Heavy Industries step by step. It's too late to ask Suzuki Heavy Industries how to know, and there are only two options for burning the air: either kill Suzuki Heavy Industries, or confess to Suzuki Heavy Industries, but Suzuki Heavy Industries has always given itself the impression of a debauched ronin, why has it changed so much today.
After struggling for a while, Kinkong put down his right hand holding the handle of the rib cha and bowed his head to Suzuki Heavy Industries and said, "Gorou Guard, I did lie to you, and I ordered the Azuchi family to be exterminated. After listening to the words of the burning sky, Suzuki Heavy Industries pressed the knife inserted in his waist, looked at the burning sky in front of him and said: "Lord, I don't want this kind of thing to happen a second time, leave this matter to me!" Give me five days, and after five days, the killing of the Azuchi family will be revealed! ”
With that, Suzuki Heavy Industries opened the door of the incinerated room and strode away, leaving his eyes fixed on Suzuki Heavy Industries and a hesitant expression.
