Chapter 214: Applying

Not only did Tanaka have a good treat for him, but Yang In-gen was more fortunate than him, and after leaving the castle tower, he was laughed at by several of his brothers and asked for a treat.

"Third brother, let's go, ask the brothers to rub it." After leaving the south gate of the inner pill, Yang Renhuang pulled Yang Renxuan, who was grinning, and walked aisle.

"Third brother, you are happy, the third general flag officer of our Black Armor Army! I didn't expect you to be the first to get there. Yang Renyu said sourly on the side, Yang Renyu has many meritorious contributions among the brothers, and he is one of the most favorable candidates for the promotion of the general flag officer, it is normal for him to eat it, and the others can see that Yang Renxuan is already older than them, and it is normal to raise the general flag first.

"Good! Good! Good! Brother, am I a stingy person? Today, everyone is not drunk and will not return. Yang Renxuan smiled all the time, and he agreed in one bite.

Yang Rentian and Yang Renyue next to him were smiling on the side, without saying a word, being promoted to the chief flag officer does not mean that they are on the same level as them, at their height, His Majesty the King still values the command ability of each person, for example, this sweep of Ezo Island is designated to be under the command of Yang Rentian, but it is not so simple for the two of them to be promoted to another level, and the troops must be expanded at least several times before it is possible.

It is difficult to expand the Black Armor Army, most of the people's physical fitness is not up to par, and most of the people are not good at fighting, for example, at this time, a large number of Liaozhen border troops in Liaodong are talking about golden changes, this kind of people, no matter how much training, they can't beat Jiannu.

Thinking of this, Yang Rentian couldn't help but admire His Majesty the King again, when he chose to lead his ten brothers up the mountain to be bandits, it was a wonderful move, the bandits were murderous and lawless, only this part of the people were suitable for the profession of licking blood on the knife edge of the soldier, at least they never saw that they would be soft when they killed people for the first time, and they almost vomited, why? Because they are accustomed to killing people, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Now that they have gone to Ezo Island, they arrived here only to know that there are Ainu people who are similar to savages here, they have been fishing and hunting for generations, and their combat effectiveness and courage are definitely stronger than those of the Chinese who grew up in a stable environment, and their physical fitness is far more than that, as long as they have a little training, they are qualified black armor soldiers.

Let's not talk about Brother Yang Renxuan going to the hotel to celebrate his promotion, just talk about Jiro Tanaka, after leaving the teahouse, he hurriedly went to the nearest barracks to apply for a job.

Why is he so confident? Because he has advantages that other merchants do not have.

Who is he? He is the son of a broken samurai, and his Tanaka family once had a period of glory.

You may not know that during the Ming Dynasty, especially in the early and middle Ming Dynasty, people in the upper class of the countries surrounding China were proud to learn Chinese.

This is not the Chinese language taught in the rural schools that are run all over Japan, it is Chinese, and the pronunciation is still Japanese, so although most Japanese people have learned Chinese, they do not speak Chinese.

And Tanaka's father, who was once a glorious samurai, had the privilege of learning Chinese, a status symbol, to which he certainly taught Jiro Tanaka.

Japanese people learn Chinese very easily, because they originally use Chinese characters, the meaning is the same, but the reading is different, and we are an ethnic minority in Chinese mainland learning Chinese, no different.

This is the reason why he is so confident, ordinary businessmen are not qualified to learn Chinese, as Yamaguchi Wujiro said just now, this conscription order is equivalent to tailor-made for him.

"What for? This is an important place in the military camp, and idlers are forbidden to enter. When Tanaka Jiro walked to the gate of the barracks in a hurry, the guards on duty shouted at him.

Only then did Tanaka realize that he was reckless, and he hurriedly bowed and replied politely, "Hello! My name is Jiro Tanaka, and I'm a glorious samurai, and I'm here to apply for the job of interpreting and leading the way. ”

Tanaka's not too fluent Chinese is a good proof that he has real materials, and this is also a rarity in Fukuyama Castle, so the guard immediately slowed down his expression and said to him politely: "Wait a minute, I'll go and report to you." ”

"Thank you!" Tanaka bowed again and thanked him.

The conscription order was issued by the logistics department, and it was Lu Chuanzong who was in charge of the recruitment.

None of the Ainu people knew Chinese, they were very backward and primitive, and no one even knew Japanese, so the Japanese called them Yi Ren or Mao Ren, which means uncivilized people, similar to savage monkeys.

Yang Wenli's request is to capture the Ainu as much as possible, then you must have someone who understands the Ainu language to persuade you to surrender! So Lu Chuanzong received a report from the guards that a person named Jiro Tanaka had applied for the job, so he decided to summon Jiro Tanaka in person.

When Tanaka was brought to Lu Chuanzong by the guards, he didn't care about 3721, so he snorted and said: "My lord, my name is Tanaka Jiro, and I am a samurai canonized by the shogunate himself......"

"Wait" Lu Chuanzong interrupted him and said, "This official must remind you that your allegiance is now to our King, the samurai canonized by the shogunate, who is worthless.

You are only a true nobleman if you have contributed to the country and been canonized by His Majesty the King, understand? ”

"Yes! Be! Be! The villain is wrong, please forgive me, the villain is a merchant who specializes in trading fur and aquatic products with the Ainu people, so many years, the villain's footprints have traveled all over Ezo Island, and he has also been to the Ainu tribe in the south of Huatai Island further north, and has also been to Kunashir, Tooth Dance, Catch and other small islands close to Ezo Island, I am proficient in Ainu language, so I can't help myself to apply for the position of translator, please be sure to choose me, please! (Note: Sakhalin Island is called Birch Tai Island in Japan)

Listening to Tanaka Jiro's words, Lu Chuanzong immediately smiled, and he smiled and said gently to Tanaka: "Very good! You are the person our army needs, and if you have made contributions to the army in the future, I will ask the meritorious service officer to record your merits. ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ......" Jiro Tanaka saw that it was going so well, and he was so happy that he thanked him again and again.

Tanaka is not short of money, he just wants to restore the glory of his father, which is difficult for us modern people to understand.

Japan has a strict hierarchy, and people with low status must salute those with high status, and his status as a samurai is gone, he can only be a merchant at the end of the four peoples, how miserable it must be! Then his subordinates and guards will be gone, because he is no longer qualified to hire them, and many Japanese samurai families are so decayed.

Tanaka resigned happily, and as soon as he left the barracks, he hurried to the teahouse, where he wanted to tell everyone the good news......
