In the first battle of the Udi Valley, Asano Sohide and the mercenaries performed very well, and Goxinga was particularly satisfied with them, not only awarding the division and regiment battle flags, but also awarding titles to officers at all levels below Asano. Asano, who has worked hard, was awarded the rank of major general by Goxinga, and the cattle don't want it. As soon as the war ended, Guoxinga gave them a holiday, so that he could go home and bring his family to Manchuria.

The first battle in the Udi Valley not only made the mercenary division famous in the first battle, but also reduced the mercenary division by more than 70%, and it was almost canceled. Although Goxinga retained the structure of the mercenary division in order to encourage Asano, if he wanted to make up for the manpower, Asano had to find a way by himself. So when Asano returned to his hometown this time, in addition to picking up his family, he had to recruit thousands of soldiers to go back.

The Manchurian Navy did not even say hello, and brutally rushed into the Japanese port of Harabu Pu. After sending Asano and others ashore with the guards, the two Seawolf-class destroyers did not leave and have been cruising in the nearby Japanese inland sea. The daimyo and samurai of the Soma domain were very disgusted by the rude behavior of the Manchurian navy, but they really couldn't afford to provoke two huge steel warships, and the Manchurian army did not land and kill, so they had to endure it.

As for the group of people who landed on the shore, they didn't have anything to say, they were also samurai, but they were just passing by the Soma Domain and wanted to go back to their hometown Nihonmatsu Domain. Soma Moriko, the lord of the Soma Domain, assessed the strength of both sides. The landed mercenaries numbered about 500 people, all armed with Zhongzheng II rifles, and also carried infantry guns and water-cooled heavy machine guns. If the Soma clan was mobilized urgently, it would be able to gather 1,3500 people, but 8 or 900 of them would have to be strong peasants, and the real samurai would not even be able to make up 500, and the weapons would be mainly bamboo spears. Therefore, Soma Morisei gave up the plan of confrontation very sensibly, but warmly entertained Asano Sohide and his party, and did not hesitate to personally set up a banquet to entertain the lower-level samurai Asano Sohide with the respect of his own domain lord.

The Soma clan doesn't want to cause trouble, just let Asano and the others go over, there is no need to entertain and see them off, Soma Shoucheng is so enthusiastic, in fact, he has taken a fancy to North Manchu behind Asano. Sohide Asano is a Japanese, but he became a high-ranking official in Manchuria, and he is definitely an important figure who has hooked up with Manchuria. If the Soma clan had a good relationship with Asano and others, it would certainly be very convenient for them to have contacts with Manchuria in the future.

Asano's group, who had been warmly entertained in the Soma Domain, walked home very happily, and their big snot bubbles were almost beautiful. A feudal daimyo, that was a character they couldn't even look at before, and now they are personally practicing it, which is really cool. Asano, who rode home on a tall horse, felt like he was about to become a feudal lord. Thinking of what might happen when he returned home, Asano couldn't help but laugh.

If Asano drove into Nihonmatouchi Castle with 500 guards, the feudal lord of the Nihonmatsu Domain would have to fight him, and 500 people in Japan today can be regarded as a large army, which feudal lord would dare to let such a large army into the city. Fortunately, Asano's background decided that he didn't have this opportunity, and his family lived in Waiguo City, and it was the most marginal. There is only 30,000 stone of the two pine clans, and there is no difference between the outer Guocheng and the wild land, and there is a circle of earth enclosures outside. The feudal lord didn't have so many people sent to stand guard outside, so Asano and his party walked in easily, and they didn't meet a single feudal priest except for the lively people.

The Japanese people could not tell who these guys were in front of them, and when they saw them riding tall horses and holding terrible weapons in their hands, they took them for samurai. The samurai who could march in a procession on horseback in Japan were not ordinary people, so the people retreated to both sides of the street, and then knelt down to welcome Asano and his party with high courtesy. Walking straight to the door of Asano's house, there were still many people on both sides of the street who did not dare to move.

"Division commander, I'm afraid this house can't be lived, should I arrange a camp, or go find a better hotel?" Uesugi Yuyuki looked at Asano's humble house and asked directly about the arrangements for tonight's accommodation.

"This is my home! I'm going to stay here tonight. Asano looked at his thatched hut, and his heart was also up and down, he was trapped here back then, and his family was on the verge of starvation.

"The division commander really doesn't forget his roots!" Uesugi also understood Asano's bittersweet feelings, and didn't say much, but he knew that Asano was in this hut tonight, and he definitely didn't want to rest well.

"Big brother!" A teenage boy carrying a bamboo knife slipped out of the thatched hut of the Asano family, and when he saw the large group of people at the door, he was about to kneel, but suddenly saw Asano on the horse, and he was directly stunned on the spot, and exclaimed.

"Zong Mao!" Asano was very happy when he saw his younger brother, jumped off the horse and hugged his younger brother in his arms.

"Big brother, really big brother! Mom, sister, big brother is back! The teenage Asano saw his brother clearly, cheered and ran inside, to inform his mother and sister.

"Hahaha, this unruly guy!" Asano laughed happily.

"Go home to each other, too!" Asano didn't forget about Uesugi and the others who were waiting.

The 500-strong guard was sent not to protect Asano alone, but to escort a group of people. Because Asano was born in the Nihonmatsu Domain, there were more than a dozen officers in the mercenary division who were all from the Nihonmatsu Domain, and they all came together when they went home to pick up their families this time. The proximity to the hometown is even more keen, and after getting the order of Asano's disbandment, Uesugi didn't even say anything, and a group of officers each brought dozens of guards, and Hula ran away all at once.

"Welcome back!" Asano's mother and sister got the news of Somo, and they all came out.

"Mom, I'm back!" Asano, who was accustomed to the Manchurian military salute, also turned back into a Japanese at this moment.

In the evening, Asano Muneshige went to the best restaurant in Nibon Matsujo to order a drink, welcomed his brother who had returned home, and looked at his family who was no longer in tatters, drinking authentic Japanese shochu, Asano was very happy. He has been sending money home all these years, but his income is not high, and the cost of daily social entertainment is large, so there is not a lot of money that can be sent home. Although the exchange rate of Manchurian banknotes against Japanese copper coins was very high, the family still owed a lot of debts, and Asano did not know if the money he sent back was enough. When I saw the still dilapidated home for the first time today, Asano thought that his family was doing a bad job! Which Cheng thought, my mother was just reluctant to spend money, and the current Asano family still has a bit of a family background.

"Clean up! In a few days we will leave and go back to Manchuria! After the family had a reunion dinner, Asano, as the head of the house, gave the order to move.

"In such a hurry?" Mom was very surprised, he thought Asano would stay for a few more days.

"I've had enough of this poor place, and I'll never let you stay here any longer, and we'll all go back to Manchuria. Everything is good in Manchuria, the general rewarded our family with a big villa, and Zongmao can also go to the school in Manchuria, which is our future home! Asano was happy when he remembered the big villa that Gokoko had given him.

"Let's wait until we get married!" Asano is the boy in charge, and his mother has no room to intervene, but Asano seems to have to get married before leaving.
