"Two brothers, don't resent Luo for bullying you and less, you are all samurai, you have learned martial arts, in order to convince you, I will give you a fair chance to fight. If you win me, let you stay, if you lose, how about willingly following Luo to work for the Secret Service Division? Rosen said as he untied the padded jacket he was wearing.

Kusaka Xuanrui's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Is what you said serious?" Can you use a sword? ”

"Naturally, take it seriously. Grab two swords! Rosen took a steel sword, waved it, and said, "Come on!" ”

Kusaka Genrui was young and vigorous, howled, and stabbed straight through with his sword. Luo Sen was motionless, seeing that the tip of the sword was about to stab his body, Fukuzawa Yukichi next to him was shocked and hurriedly wanted to stop it, but it was too late, he didn't expect that Xuanrui's attack would be so sharp and fast, and his heart was in a hurry!

In fact, he is not opposed to defecting to Rosen, on the contrary, because Rosen can give him a different kind of money and status, he is willing to accept to be his subordinate from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that even if he thinks he loves Japan, it is the Celestial Empire, and if he can really become a member of the Celestial Empire, it would be very good.

At this moment, just listening to the bang, Rosen's body was like a spring, avoiding a sword stabbed by Jiusaka Xuanrui at an incredible speed and angle, and, with lightning speed, he threw a punch and hit Kusaka Xuanrui's side hard, Jiusaka Xuanrui snorted, and took five or six steps backwards before stopping his steps, half of his body couldn't lift his strength, his face was pale, and he muttered: "How can this be?" I've been studying swordsmanship for ten years, and I can't stop a blow! ”

Yukichi Fukuzawa was also full of shock, he also practiced martial arts since he was a child, although his physique was weak, and he was not as skilled as Jiusaka Genrui, but his vision was still there. At the moment, there was only a shock left in my heart! This is the martial arts of China? I have long heard that Chinese martial arts is a unique science, but it has slowly been lost, but many Japanese techniques derived from Chinese martial arts are more practical, but today's view of it makes him suspicious.

Jiusaka Xuanrui was stunned for a while, suddenly made up his mind, and knelt down with a puff: "The master is above, please accept the apprentice!" ”

But it was Hisaka Genrui who saw that Lawson was strong in martial arts, and he wanted to learn from a teacher.

Rosen was overjoyed, helped up Jiusaka Xuanrui, and said, "In this case, I will accept you as a registered disciple, and when you make a contribution, you will be listed as an official disciple." He knew that the Japanese samurai of this era were the most rigid and conservative, although Kusaka Genrui had studied Western and Dutch books, but he was still a Japanese samurai in his bones, and he was deeply taught by the Confucianism of the shogunate, and he was determined to follow himself from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, in the name of mentoring and apprenticeship, the employment relationship is more reliable than originally expected. The so-called one day as a teacher, a father for life, this Jiusaka Xuanrui is only seventeen or eighteen years old, far from treacherous, he is a credible person, plus he detains his family of all ages, and with a little preferential treatment, he will be even more loyal to himself.

He attaches great importance to this Kusaka Genrui, and this Fukuzawa Yukichi, which His Majesty has mentioned as a Japanese talent, saying that if he has not joined Matsushita Murajuku, he can use it for himself. There are also a few people, Yoshida Shoin, who founded Matsushita Village Juku, as well as Saigo Takamori and Okubo Ritsu, Takasugi Shinsaku, Ito Hirobumi and others, after more than a year of investigation, they already have some eyebrows.

According to His Majesty's secret order, he will investigate and deal with it as soon as possible. Now, there is a big thing to fall on this Kusaka Genrui. He felt that this Kusaka Genrui was the most suitable person he was looking for.

"Xuanrui, there is a heavy task to be entrusted to you as a teacher. Naomasasa, the lord of the Saga Domain of Hizen Province, would you like to become his adopted son and change your name to Nabeshima Genrui? Rosen asked.

"Teacher, really?" Genrui Kusaka looked surprised, "Nabeshima is a descendant of the Sasaki clan, and it is a noble surname, and if a student can become a member of the Nabeshima clan, it will naturally be extremely honorable." Please also ask the teacher to be perfect! ”

Rosen knows it. He knew this would be the case, and he knew nothing more about the virtues of the Japanese.

"Great! Come on, I'll invite Nabeshima Shigejun, Nabeshima Shigeyoshi, and Nabeshima Shigemasa from the Takeo Nabeshima family, saying that there is a huge business to trade with them! Rosen commanded.

Half a day later, several exquisite and luxurious carriages drove into Chinatown.

This time, instead of a stone house, in a gorgeous three-story wooden building, Lawson and Genrui Kusaka, Yukichi Fukuzawa and others had a drink with three Japanese samurai.

"Mao Shunjun, how did you think about the matter I told you last time?" Lawson, who was slightly drunk, stared at the elderly Japanese bushido led by him.

Kusaka Genrui quietly asked Yukichi Fukuzawa next to him: "Brother, what is the origin of this person?" ”

Fukuzawa Yukichi said: "He is the head of the Nabeshima family of the Saga Domain, Nabeshima Shigejun, whose surname is Goto, and later because he was defeated and captured, not only was the domain Takeo occupied, but he was also given the surname Nabeshima, and he was accepted as a retainer of the Nabeshima family for generations. Hizen Province has been secretly rumored that the three brothers of Nabeshima Shigeshun have always been eyeing the Nabeshima family, but because their ancestor Goto Akira has vowed never to encroach on an inch of Saga Domain's land, although they are bent on restoring the glory of their original ancestors and breaking away from the identity of Nabeshima's retainers, they have never been able to. ”

Kusaka Genrui nodded, it turned out to be so.

Fukuzawa Yukichi smiled mysteriously, he knew what was going on.

Sure enough, the leader samurai said, "Luo Jun, can you really make the shogunate seal Takeo to us?" ”

Lawson didn't speak, just stood up, clapped his palms, and suddenly, the door opened, and two guards walked in, handing over a document in their hands to the samurai, this old samurai named Nabeshima Shigejun, hurriedly looked at the paperwork, and was immediately stupid!

"It's really a seal issued by the shogunate! Break away from the Takeo of the Saga Domain, and make our Goto family the lord of the Takeo Domain, and pay 10,000 koku! Amaterasu, our Nabeshima Shigejun, no, no, Goto Shigeshun is loyal to fulfill the last wishes of his ancestors and rebuild Takeo! Nabeshima Shigeshun was so excited that he forgot everything and immersed himself in his own world.

"Maoyi, Maochang, look!" Nabeshima Shigeshun excitedly handed the sealed book in his hand to the two brothers beside him, and then came back to his senses.

"Mao Shunjun, how's it going?" Rosen smiled.

Nabeshima Shigeru came to his senses, wiped away the tears on his face, poofed, and bowed down in front of Lawson.

"Luo Jun is gracious, there is no way to repay it! Maoshun is willing to serve Luo Jun, everything is subject to your arrangement! Nabeshima Shigeshun was full of emotion in his heart, and only he knew how difficult it was to do this. Although he was the head of the retainers of the Saga Domain, he was always a retainer, and although the lord of the domain did not deliberately wary of him, he did not have much favor to him. He once tried to use his own merits in exchange for the feudal lord to give up the small town of Takeo, but neither Nabeshima nor Nakashima Naomasa accepted it.

The only way is to pass the ruling of the shogunate, but what kind of identity does the shogun have, how can he care about him as a small feudal lord's retainer? Therefore, he knew that for the shogun to make this decision, Luo Jun would have to pay a huge price.

Rosen smiled very happily. His plan has been completed for the most part, and only one last step is left. Although the cost is huge, it is worth it. If you want to take it, you must first take it!
