Chapter 182: The New Guard
Chen Xiaochu felt a little entangled, sitting on the high platform of the school field, looking at Asai Zuohe, who was prostrate on the ground and pleading for sin, and slightly hesitated in his heart about his own solution. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info originally decided to let Genmen Jiro be the commander of the army, and then command a Toei army to assist him, but he didn't expect to almost die in Izumo Castle before he took office.
"If you don't deal with Asai, Genmen Jiro will lose his prestige, and then lose the qualification to lead the army, and if you dispose of it, it may make the maintenance club collapse, and there will be one less bargaining chip when you contact Anne, you must find a compromise to solve this contradiction, and now that the army is about to be dispatched, there is not much time to spend here." Chen Xiaochu, who had made up his mind, stepped down from the high platform and came to the front of Asai Sawa.
"What's your son's name?" Chen Xiaochu said quietly to Asai Sawazu.
"Back to my lord's words, my son's name is Asai Aoshi, he is my only son, please let him go, I am willing to do anything to make up for his mistakes." Asai Sawa didn't dare to raise his head, but continued to prostrate on the ground.
On the school grounds, the newly recruited Toei soldiers stood on both sides, looking at this scene with complicated faces, Asai Sawa has always been a samurai with a high status in Izumo Castle, and he is known as a prestige among the civilians, even the surrounding villages have heard of his name, because he has always been the chief commissioner in charge of building the castle, and many people have been under his control.
During the maintenance meeting of Izumo Castle, the ashigaru and samurai who participated in the siege of Genmen Jiro all knelt behind Sawa Asai and waited for the verdict of fate. Especially Asai Aoshi, his nervous forehead was sweating, and when he was still in the city, he was rescued from a coma again, and then he was told that he was messing with the retainers of the Chinese ruler, which almost made Asai Aoshi unconscious for the second time, and various thoughts about how to save his life kept running around in his mind, devouring the last bit of composure.
"You are a talented person, that's why I made you the president of the maintenance association, you have done a very good job in the past two days, and you have done everything I arranged in a short time, but your son does not have your demeanor, I will not kill him now, but I will not let him go, so I will give you a few choices." Chen Xiaochu glanced at the nervous Asai Qingshi, and then continued to say to Asai Zuohe.
"Take your family, pledge allegiance to Genmen Jiro, and be his retainer, so that you can be exempted from the death penalty."
"Or in three days, help me to replenish an army of eight hundred men, and soldiers who meet my qualifications."
"How you choose is all in your thoughts."
Chen Xiaochu lowered his body and patted Asai Sawazu's shoulder and said.
"How can it be possible to find eight hundred soldiers with compound conditions in three days, the eligible people in Izumo City have basically been attracted, plus some tribesmen who have taken refuge, this is only more than three hundred." Asai Sawa raised his head slightly and looked at a young man standing on the high platform, that person was Genmen Jiro, "Loyal to a little child, or a lowly commoner, can the Asai family really only choose such an outcome?" ā
Just as Asai Sawa was frowning and thinking, Chen Xiaochu ordered the Great Han Period Gate Lang to rush into the kneeling group of samurai, pull up his samurai one by one, and then collect their weapons and pull them all to the front of the high platform.
Chen Xiaochu beckoned to Genmen Jiro, motioned for him to come to his side, and then said to the samurai who had been erected: "You have no choice, cut the people under my command, and it is already the greatest kindness to you if you are not executed at this moment, now kneel in front of him at once, swear allegiance to him, protect him with your lives, if he dies, I will destroy everything you have in this world, and whoever thinks I can't do it, immediately cut my stomach, so that I will forgive your sins." ā
The more than 20 samurai who were on the frame looked like they wanted to cry without tears, and when they heard Chen Xiaochu say this, they all began to regret what they did to Genmen Jiro at the beginning, and at this moment their lives no longer belonged to them, so they could only passively accept all this, because they were not people who could carry it to the end in the first place, and their families in Izumo City were their only weakness.
"My lord, I just want to be your personal guard, just like I did back then." After Genmen Jiro walked over, he looked down at Chen Xiaochu a little and said, more than twenty samurai knelt in front of him, which made him feel uncomfortable in his heart, and this time the impulse made him feel a little ashamed of Chen Xiaochu in his heart.
"Since you have decided to follow me, then follow my orders, you can do it, just like your original choice, starting today, you will have an army, and I look forward to your future activity under my command." Chen Xiaochu looked at Genmen Jiro and said, I hope he will accept all this calmly, break the boundary between samurai and civilians, and disintegrate the social class of the Dongying civilization, which must start from the inside of the army first, and then rely on the influence of fait accompli to imperceptibly affect the entire Dongying civilization.
"The Asai family is willing to follow Genmen-sama, and the children and grandchildren will serve you." Asai Sawa said very reluctantly in his heart, but in order to save the life of his only son and the continuation of the family, he could only choose this result.
"Very good, let the remaining samurai elect the president by themselves, from today onwards, you are Genmen Jiro's retainer, his life can be extended, it is the guarantee of your family's continuation, you must do your best to assist him, understand?" Seeing that Asai Sawa made the final choice, Chen Xiaochu's brows stretched a little and said that being able to solve the problem without killing people is the best way to reduce the negative impact.
"Emily, take out the things I commanded." Seeing that Asai Sawa and the others were loyal, and the matter was almost resolved, Chen Xiaochu said to Emily behind him.
"Yes, my lord." Emily saluted gracefully, then turned around and waved to several newly recruited soldiers, and suddenly a bright red flag was raised.
Several newly recruited Dongying soldiers slowly unfurled the flag, and then set it up, and the flag fluttering in the wind immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The flag was cut out of expensive red silk, and the word "Yuanmen" was written, Chen Xiaochu took the flag with one hand, then walked up to the high platform, and said to the Dongying soldiers standing under the stage: "From today on, you are members of the New Guard, whether it is a samurai or a civilian, I will treat it as one, and now, I want to announce the leader of the New Guard." ā
"Genmen Jiro, come forward and take the flag!" Ono Intaka saw that Genmen Jiro was obviously a little sluggish, and immediately walked to his side and reminded him that Chen Xiaochu had already made a move to present the flag and was waiting for Genmen Jiro to step forward.
"If only that person were me." Ono Intaka looked at Genmen Jiro who stepped forward and thought to himself. (To be continued.) )
