Chapter 369: Self-defeating
Hearing Jia Rudao's words, Nokibe Jiro lost his mind for a moment again.
Recruit some wandering samurai from Japan who are skilled in fighting to come to the Great Song Dynasty to fight against the Mongols for His Majesty the Great Song Emperor? Isn't it true that the Great Song Dynasty is now really unable to resist the Mongol offensive? The Central Empire, which has always been cold, would borrow troops from a small country like Fuso?
Nokikube Jiro didn't know how to answer Jia Rudao.
Such a request was no longer something that he, a small envoy, could accept, and he did not dare to accept it. Not to mention whether Japan has the ability to send troops to help the Great Song Dynasty, it is just a big problem how to reach an agreement among the large number of vassal generals in the country.
If it was someone else who made this request, Yejubian Jiro would definitely refuse without hesitation, but it was Jia Nidao who had just repaid him, not to mention that Jia Nidao had already vaguely hinted that he would provide weapons to his master Chuan De Jia Kang, if he directly refused, Noju Biji would not dare to say it anyway.
promised not to have that power, and if he didn't agree, he didn't dare, not to mention such a matter of sending troops to help the Great Song Dynasty, so he couldn't help but think about it at a deeper level. Jia Rudao is the most trusted favorite minister of the Great Song Emperor, whether this is from the Great Song Emperor in the deep palace, Ye Jubian Erlang doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to think.
Jia Yidao alone has already made Chuande Jia Kang, who is in urgent need of the support of the Great Song Dynasty, unable to refuse, if there is really the instruction of the Great Song Emperor, I am afraid that there is no other choice but to respond to the order.
It's just that Ye Jubian Erlang couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that the situation in the Great Song Dynasty has really been eroded to such a point? In the face of a few Mongolians who have not been naturalized, are they already irresistible? It is also necessary to borrow troops from the subject countries to come to the rescue.
Jia Rudao saw that Ye Jubian Erlang's eyes were scattered and his thoughts did not belong, and he continued with a smile: "As far as this official knows, there are many vassals in your country, and there are many wandering warriors in various places, so I have this to say, these wandering warriors come to my Great Song Dynasty to fight for the Holy Lord, and this official will also issue military salaries and ordnance.
There are also quite a lot of people in the rivers and lakes in my Great Song Dynasty, most of these people in the rivers and lakes have a skill around them, and it happens from time to time that they don't agree with each other on weekdays, and the same is true for those wandering warriors who want to come to your country. If the envoy of Yeju can recruit samurai for his own officials to serve my emperor in the Great Song Dynasty, it will be a great achievement after returning to the country. ”
Jia Nidao naturally didn't know what Nokikube Jiro was thinking in his heart, but even if Jia Nidao knew, he didn't think that today's Japan was far from having the courage and strength to covet the Central Plains. Of course, it doesn't matter to Jia Nidao whether he knows or doesn't know, after all, all he needs is some Japanese wandering samurai who can be used as cannon fodder, that's all.
Although the Japanese are narrow-minded and cruel, they are also tough-hearted, and even more rare, they are not afraid of death and are extremely obedient to orders. Just think about the kamikaze death squads that terrified European and American countries during World War II.
Thinking about the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and Japan at this moment, the Great Song Emperor should be far more demagogic and appealing than the emperor who is now in name only, isn't it?
Hearing Jia Rudao's words, Yeju Bian Erlang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he was almost excited to pee. The adult in front of him is asking himself to help, this is obviously giving himself a great credit.
Japan is a small country, and there are fights between the shogunates, and every few years some shoguns are replaced by new ones, and those samurai who were loyal to the destroyed shoguns can only become wandering samurai unless they are willing to be loyal to a new master. Of course, even if you choose to be loyal to the new master and change the court, it is also despised, so most of the surviving samurai will rather choose to become a wandering samurai than change the court's allegiance to the new master, not to mention, even if they are loyal, they will not be important.
If you can be loyal to yourself today who was originally an enemy, you will naturally be able to betray yourself and be loyal to others again one day. Such a wall grass is impossible for any person in a position to use, let alone reuse.
"Your Excellency is saying that you will hire ...... Hire those wandering warriors who have no masters in the lower states to come to the Great Song Dynasty to fight for His Majesty the Emperor? Yeju Bian Jiro looked at Jia Yidao and said cautiously.
"Could it be that this matter is embarrassing for the envoy of the Wild Chrysanthemum Kingdom?" Jia Rudao naturally saw the ecstasy in the eyes of Yeju Bian Jiro, but he pretended not to know, and continued with a little regret: "That being the case, this matter should be regarded as the official never mentioned......
"No, no, no! My lord, I misunderstood, my lord misunderstood. Seeing that Jia Nidao seemed to be really just casually hiring a wandering warrior, Ye Jubian Jiro was suddenly anxious, and he hurriedly interrupted Jia Nidao's words without caring about humility.
"Misunderstanding?" Jia Rudao waved his hand, "This official will not propose to make the envoy of the Yeju Kingdom embarrassed, although my Great Song Dynasty is now due to natural disasters and years of war, the soldiers are somewhat insufficient, but based on the people of my Great Song Dynasty, with the national strength of my Great Song Dynasty, it will only take two years at most to train enough soldiers to fight back against Mongolia, although two years is not a short time, but it is not too long, and the saint is still waiting." ”
Nokikubian Jiro's eagerness reminded Jia Rudao that the situation in Japan is worse than that of the Great Song Dynasty, just like the characters of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is extremely headache, not to mention that Japan is not at all supported by a stable central power like the Great Song Dynasty, and the shogunates in various places are even more anxious about those homeless samurai.
If you let the shoguns in Japan know that the Great Song Dynasty was willing to digest these wandering samurai who consumed food and could not work and disturbed the social order from time to time, they would rush to send the wandering samurai in the territory to the Great Song Dynasty.
So thinking of this, Jia Yidao instantly decided to change his original idea of just recruiting a group of Japanese samurai to work for the Great Song Dynasty, and decided to knock out something more from the hands of those shoguns no matter what.
Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Yeju Bian Jiro was suddenly a little dumbfounded. I secretly scolded myself in my heart for how he was so slow just now, and he turned away such a great good thing, and it would be strange if he let his master know that he was afraid not to cut him with a thousand knives.
But it was already extremely rude to interrupt Jia Nidao's words just now. At this moment, seeing Jia Rudao like this, even if Ye Jubian Erlang had ten thousand regrets in his heart and wanted to say it, he didn't care if he really messed around again, for fear that Jia Bidao would be offended to death, so for a while, Ye Jubian Erlang stood stunned but didn't know what to do.
Seeing that Yeju Bian Erlang's face was full of annoyance, but he wanted to stop talking and finally kept silent, Jia Rudao couldn't help but curse in his heart. Is this slave too timid, or is he pretending to be too similar, so it won't be self-defeating.
