"What? Want us to be loyal to the new emperor? Ito Otaku directly slapped the table hard and stood up, "Why do you want us to be loyal to the new emperor?" ”

The herald couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Report to Lord Zhao, the little one doesn't know how to get this thing, I only know that Lord Zhao Ximin Zhao let the little one pass the word like this, by the way, there is also Lord Zhao's edict here, please Lord Ito." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" said and hurriedly handed over the letter in his pocket.

The herald watched Ito Otazo angrily take the document, open it and look at it for a while, nervous. Although he was also confused about this emperor who suddenly appeared, Zhao Ximin was his immediate boss, so he could only come to deliver the letter. These Japanese are notoriously strict, and when they train, they can see officers beating and scolding soldiers, and when they came in just now, they saw officers on the side slapping soldiers crackling, and the soldiers could only bow their heads and "Hai" there, and now if the content of this letter angers this thin corps commander with a scar on his face, the long knife on his waist is not vegetarian, if he splits it, how can he escape?

Ito Zhaisan's heart was surging like a tide at this time, he didn't know the weight of the current Li descendants, Zhao Ximin also mentioned in the letter that the force behind the new emperor was the Maidno people. As a former foreign samurai who was transported to Annam by the Medeno from the Japanese mainland, how could he not know how powerful the Medeno people were? Although the Medeno people do not necessarily have the power to erase an Annan in the land war, but at this time, since Zhao Ximin has sworn allegiance to the new emperor, then the Medeno people will increase their military strength by more than 100,000 out of thin air, and they don't know Ruan Wei's attitude, if Ruan Wei is loyal to the new emperor again, then there are about 200,000 troops in the South Bank Army that belong to the Medeno people. The Ito Legion has a total of more than 16,000 elite soldiers and more than 22,000 auxiliaries, but because Ito Otakuzo, who is Japanese, fully developed the characteristics of the Japanese brain, almost all of these 38,000 people have sufficient combat power, the only difference is that the auxiliaries are mainly equipped with bamboo guns, and the soldiers are armed with iron spears and katanas.

Although the Ito Legion is the most powerful and most fearless unit in the South Bank Army, the problem is that they have quite strict requirements for recruits, Japanese first, those who are not afraid of death, and those who are loyal to their family masters, so their legion is the smallest in number, which is why they directly led to their defeat when they captured Jiezhen due to insufficient numbers.

If the other two armies of the South Shore Army are loyal to the new emperor, then he will inevitably face the terrible situation of these 200,000 troops against himself, the war in the era of cold weapons is to fight for numbers, as long as he still has enough troops to fight back before the enemy collapses, then he will win, and what Ito Otakuzo lacks now is precisely people.

If Ito is a native of Wuguo or Annam, he can immediately see the wind and choose to be loyal to the new emperor, and he will not have to fight with the Medeno people, but he is a Japanese, and the glory of the Japanese is loyalty, not to mention that the situation is unclear now, the fall of Hue and the escape of Nguyen Phuc Nguyen The South Coast Army is only a little rumored at this time, and at this time, a eunuch suddenly came and said that the emperor had changed, could it be too child's play.

Ito Otakuzo couldn't help but turn pale, and he sighed and shook his head lightly while thinking. This action made the herald extremely frightened, and he was already looking around to see if there was an escape route.

Ito suddenly stared at the herald whose feet were already shaking, and asked loudly, "You, when Zhao Ximin called you over, did I ask Ito to make a decision right away?" ”

"No, no," the herald was almost so frightened that he peed his pants, "Lord Zhao just called the little one to come over and pass on a message, and asked General Ito to think about it and make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Oh," Ito nodded lightly and said with a smile on his face, "This matter is not trivial, this legion is not unique to Ito alone, such a big matter, you must first discuss it with the generals in the army, you go back to Jiezhen now, and tell Zhao Ximin, I will not be able to reply until the day after tomorrow." ”

The herald secretly rejoiced in his heart, he was arrested today and sent out to give orders, and if he didn't come the day after tomorrow, who was unlucky at that time was none of his business, as long as he could go back from here today, who would find the guilt the day after tomorrow?

Seeing this Zhao Ximin's herald leave with a smile on his face, Ito Otaku continued to sit at the table with a calm face and thought for a while. The military camp he is in now is a camp of 5,000 people, which was taken out of the barren mountains and woodlands little by little when he was arranged to be stationed in this town a few years ago, and in order to open this camp area from the dense forest, he also lost more than 1,000 soldiers before and after several plagues, so it can be said that this camp paid a great price for him. Since they settled here, they have improved the surrounding environment, dug irrigation canals, and turned it into a military town surrounded by fertile fields, where more than 30,000 soldiers and farmers have been working for many years. If he were to declare his legion's allegiance to the new emperor, these things would certainly be able to be preserved for now, but what about later?

The ship is far away from the enemy, and the ball is cold and lonely

At this moment, a figure stepped out from behind the screen of the meeting room, wearing a long gown and carrying a mug in his hand. The man approached as if he hadn't seen Ito and sat down on a stool next to him. The man gently raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, smacked his mouth twice, and said, "Lord Ito, should you go and inform all the legion soldiers to pack up their things and prepare for evacuation immediately, or will you wait until after the legion meeting?" ”

"Sure enough, it's Mr. Maruyama, just listening to what Takuzo said a few words, I know what Takusan is going to do." Ito smiled and nodded, "But Takuzo still can't figure out the reason of the period at this time, and I hope that Mr. Maruyama will explain it to Takusan." ”

Mr. Maruyama's full name is Naoki Maruyama, and he is two years younger than Itotaku, and he is a friend who grew up together, and the two later became samurai together. Later, he served as the commander of Ito's Ashigaru Brigade, and in battle, he commanded the 100-strong Ashigaru Brigade to defeat the shogunate's army many times. However, the shogunate army had the advantage of soldiers, and the continuous flow of troops eventually broke through the skill, and Maruyama had to flee overseas with Ito.

Maruyama Naoki was serving as a military advisor in the Ito Army at this time, and when the herald came just now, he specially hid behind the screen and asked Ito Otaku to meet the herald sent by Zhao Ximin alone in front. Everyone knows that the three legions of the South Bank Army do not deal with each other, and at this time, even if the eunuch sent by the emperor comes, he has to send three letters, and it is impossible to send someone from Zhao Ximin to send an order alone, and he can't mobilize the other two legions at all. At this time, Zhao Ximin sent out the heralds, which can only show that the situation has changed, it must be that Zhao Ximin suddenly gained a high power, which has made him feel that he is above the South Shore Army, in order to be able to learn more information, so he specially hid behind and listened to the whole thing.

The enemy does not hate the ghost Sun Qiumo coldly

To be honest, he was also taken aback when he heard that Ruan Phuc Yuan had been overthrown, but after thinking about it carefully, he calmed down at this time, and just said to Ito indifferently, "Since the general said that he would not be able to reply until the day after tomorrow, he must be ready to leave this town, and if the whole army is to pack up and withdraw immediately at this time, then it will definitely be able to catch Zhao Ximin's dog thief off guard." However, at this time, our army's garrisons were relatively scattered, and if we wanted to convene a meeting of the commanders and above of the various foot light teams, it would definitely take a lot of time. Saying that, Maruyama took another sip of tea and continued, "The soldiers are very fast, instead of calling a meeting of all the commanders, it is better to directly give an order to go down and tell them to gather their troops to pack up their things and evacuate immediately." ”

"Then Mr. Maruyama also feels that he can't be loyal to the new emperor?" Ito was a little overjoyed, feeling that he had made the right choice.

"It's not!" Maruyama Naoki said categorically, "The new emperor is actually not unloyal, but the premise is that my Ito Legion is the dominant position of the South Bank Army," he gently put down his teacup and continued, "You see that Zhao Ximin's first order to us was to draw out 8,400 soldiers and all auxiliary troops and immediately prepare to march towards the port of Champong, with our total strength, so that there will be less than 8,000 people left." This Zhao Ximin is wolf-hearted, and the supplies sent every year are taken away by him first, so that we can wait, and we have to compete with Ruan Wei's red deer. At this time, if we really swore allegiance to the new emperor, it would be logical to recognize Zhao Ximin's rule over the South Shore Army, and at that time, they told us to dig holes, we couldn't tear down the wall, told us to fly, we couldn't run on the road, people swords and I was fish and meat, sooner or later he Zhao Ximin would be used as consumables to consume first, and we had to obey their orders, which was absolutely unacceptable. ”

"What Maruyama-kun said is that Otaku thinks the same way, and now if he swears allegiance to the new emperor as a subordinate of Zhao Ximin, then it will be endless troubles, and sooner or later it will be consumed, so Otaku has always felt that he should leave immediately. So should we go directly to the Northern Dynasty? ”

The enemy is a cool ship, and he is too troublesome to learn too

"No way!" Maruyama said without hesitation, "We can't go to the Northern Dynasty. He looked at Ito's surprised eyes and continued, "As the army of Emperor Nguyen Phuc Yuan, we have been stationed here, and we have long become a thorn in the side of the people of the Northern Dynasties, and we have always wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. They are relieved, and that's how I've been for the rest of my life. Moreover, most of the legions were Annamite, and if they were to defect to the enemy, their morale would be greatly affected, and a large number of people would flee along the way. At this time, whoever has soldiers in his hands will have the greatest right to speak, so not only can we not defect to the Northern Dynasty, but on the contrary, we must continue to be the enemy of the Northern Rebellion. ”

"Enemies of them? If we don't owe allegiance to the Lai family, what should we do? Ito was confused again, "Please also ask Mr. Maruyama to teach me." ”

"It's simple, let's go to Champa Port." Maruyama gently placed the teacup on the table and pointed in the southeast direction, "We all know that the first enemy to be dealt with after the Li clan took over the South Shore Army must be the port of Champong, and there must be a reason for this. Champa City, as a subordinate city of Her Royal Highness Princess Ji, has been in business for many years, and at the beginning of this year, it was taken back by the emperor because of slander, and then this rebellion occurred. This explains a lot of things, the treasures in the port of Zhancheng must not have fallen into the hands of the hundred officials, otherwise it would be impossible to overthrow the emperor in such a short time, and just sharing the spoils is enough for them to break their heads. ”

Ito couldn't help but look at the southeast with his head, although he couldn't see anything, but he said with understanding, "Yes, yes, since the money from Champong Port has not been obtained, then the money is still in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and no one says that His Majesty the Emperor has died, so it can only mean one problem, Your Majesty has escaped safely." But where should His Majesty be at this time? ”

"You're so dark!" Maruyama looked at Ito Dao helplessly, "His Majesty the Emperor has lost everything at this time, but he certainly hasn't lost the princess, since Her Royal Highness the princess still has enough funds in his hands, then that is, they must have only one place to go, which is to occupy the city." ”

"Ahh Ito laughed, "I think so too, no wonder they were going to fight Champong Port in the first place, then it means that the emperor and the princess must have been in Champong Port at this time, and if I go to Champong Port to support the emperor at this time, then it will be tantamount to a send-off for them." ”

"Not only that, if I wait to join the army attacking Dongfang Port at this time, then what I have done is nothing more than icing on the cake, even if I make a great achievement, I will inevitably be managed by Zhao Ximin to get it on my head. However, if you help the emperor to defend the city port, then in terms of the elite soldiers of our legion, it is relying on the city wall, which can play a greater role. Ito-kun, I have been a minister of the dragon for a long time, and now I can never abandon the emperor and help him regain the world, wouldn't that be a great merit? At that time, if you want to be a marshal, it will only be a matter of asking the emperor for instructions. ”

"Then what does Maruyama-kun mean is that we will pack up immediately, set off at night, and rush to Champa Port in the starry night to serve His Majesty the Emperor?"

After forming a distant hatred and being far away, he learned to catch the ball by Lone Leng

After the Ke Qiu Branch, the only ship to check the moon is cold

"Of course, with Naoki's meaning, even the commander's meeting doesn't need to be opened, we will now order to prepare for the camp, take away what can be taken here, burn it with a fire if it can't be taken away, and not a single grain can be left for Zhao Ximin."

"Enemies of them?" If we don't owe allegiance to the Lai family, what should we do? Ito was confused again, "Please also ask Mr. Maruyama to teach me." ”
