Chapter 70: Effortlessly
A group of Tokugawa guards quickly arrived at the scene, thinking that the serious samurai had driven away all the melon-eating crowds, and by the way, they had to send Hayan Bhutan back to the barracks, and then walked alone to the female thug couple. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Kojiro Sasaki, and Mrs. Mu."
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Yanagi-kun......"
"What, it turned out to be a little ywarf in Yanagi, and he didn't say anything when he saw his sister coming?"
"Naturally, since the two of you are in Nagasaki, of course you want to be guests at the Tokugawa Shogun's Mansion, right?"
Sasaki Kojiro and his wife glanced at each other, to say that he had been free and comfortable for too long, and now it seems a little uncomfortable to be forced like this.
But the guards didn't say anything, and the katana at their waists wasn't drawn, but the rifle was faintly pointing at the two, and the meaning was obvious.
"Since Yanagi-kun invited, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate......"
"It's better to ...... this way"
It's just that the three of them haven't left yet, and Sakata Taihe is eager to call, "Master!" It's me! Don't go! ”
"Huh?" Sasaki looked in the direction of Sakata Taiga and recognized this former disciple at a glance, but he didn't seem to want to see the other party, so he hurriedly glanced at the other party and let him leave.
I don't know if there is no tacit understanding between the master and apprentice, Sakata didn't see what the master meant at all, and he was still shouting loudly and was seen by Mrs. Mu.
"There are so many acquaintances I met today, I didn't expect to see this bastard boy Sakata, don't you go and say hello, husband?"
"If you weren't this gnashing of teeth, I think I'd be over......"
That's right, Mrs. Mu is rubbing her fists, looking at her appearance, I can't wait to beat someone up now, and then she really does it!
"Ahhh
"Bastard! I didn't say goodbye at the beginning, and I didn't forget to steal my belly pocket, how can I be so shameless as a disciple! ”
Yanagi Shibei didn't have any feelings for Sasaki's disciple, at most he felt that the other party was a good young swordsman, and that's all.
But that's not the point, the point is that the Blademaster can finally be brought into the Tokugawa army, although the means are a bit disgraceful, but it can attract more ronins to come and take refuge.
Since he didn't care, everyone in the True Selection Group naturally followed Sakata to go, and along the way, they just listened to what the Sword Saint had to say.
"Speaking of which, Tokugawa Ieyasu himself elected the emperor, and I'm afraid the next step is to conquer the world, right?"
"This is natural." Yanagi Shibei nodded, which can be regarded as acknowledging the lord's move, "I'm really in a hurry, I really don't have many troops, and if I don't do anything, I will lose a lot just to feed them." ”
"Then the opponents are only Uesugi Kenshin and Oda Nobunaga, how do you think that you are not interested in the poor countryside of the Uesugi family, is it a direct attack on Edo?"
As soon as they heard the words of the rivers and lakes, everyone in the True Selection Group resolutely pricked up their ears, lest they miss any useful information.
"That's true, but it's not Edo, it's Osaka!"
"Osaka?"
"That's right, everyone hates Osaka merchants, but no one can deny that this country relies on those people to communicate smoothly, eighty percent of the world's materials are transported by Osaka people, and Osaka City is the largest grain trade center in Dongying, once you seize there plus some natural disasters, the lord's hegemony is just around the corner!"
As Yagyu Jubei said, Osaka is such an important area that there is hardly a single force that can avoid this trading center, and it is almost like the Guitar Sea (the trading center in EVE)!
Of course, like the guitar Kaishi, there are ruthless pirates everywhere with the Declaration of War and the Pink Torpedoes, Osaka is currently nominally ruled by Oda Nobunaga, Osaka merchants contributed a third of the city's income in exchange for autonomy from Nobunaga, and although it has a prosperous economy, it is harassed by various bandits for three days.
"It's probably a bit of a problem to rely on the Tokugawa family's forces alone, you have hired so many samurai, and you must have brought in a lot of allies, right?"
"If I hadn't known that you were a loose man, I wouldn't have said this."
Sasaki pursed his lips, as a free and loose drifter, it is enough to have a wife together, and the nasty thing of fighting for dominance is still who likes to do it.
"There are indeed a lot of allies, one-third of the daimyo of Dongying are willing to join the great cause of the lord, and there are also mercenaries from Songguo, Batu Empire and Ezo to join, our military strength exceeds 100,000 people!"
"There are 100,000 of them...... You want to sweep through Toei and replace the Oda family as the new shogun......"
"Hmph, you know."
Gathering a 100,000 professional army in the ghost of the Toei Islands is an incomparably difficult chore, which means that there will be a million people to feed them, which may not be enough.
At the same time, they will have to spend more money to arm the new army, and gunpowder weapons and enchanted items are the bulk of the money, not to mention the good things they are about to see.
"Why don't we go to the castle tower and come to the harbor for something?"
"Of course, it's to meet the lord of Tokugawa, but I can also see a miraculous artifact by the way."
Mr. and Mrs. Sasaki were curious about what the miracle in the mouth of Yagyu Jubei was, and after going through a strict inspection (all the Shinsengumi were blocked out except for Sakata Taiga), they met Shota Tokugawa Ieyasu in a dark warehouse.
"My lord, this is Sasaki Kojiro, the sword saint in the wild, and his wife and disciples also came together, and they asked for atonement without prior notice."
"It's nothing, I also want to thank Liu Sheng for helping me hire such a favorable helper!"
Sasaki shook his head and said directly, "I'm not interested in the great deeds of Lord Tokugawa, and I'm only here today because Yanagi invited me to be a guest. ”
"I see...... But it's nothing, maybe you'll change your mind after witnessing the miracle, Mr. Yuri let me see the goods. ”
"Of course, there is no problem with you paying, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied!"
As soon as Yuri appeared, the Sasaki couple felt a trace of disharmony, and the people of the opposite side felt like some kind of corpse, which was disgusting from the inside out.
In the next instant, the entire warehouse was illuminated by the Dancing Light Technique, and what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a huge battleship!
"A battleship?" Sasaki looked at Yuri with some puzzlement, but the other party shook his head, "This is not a warship sailing on the sea, its territory is in the sky." ”
"What! Sky Battleship?? ”
"That's right, this is the floating battleship that Tokugawa Ieyasu commissioned me to order, with new enchantment technology and the best artillery equipment, the highest ascent limit of 1,500 meters can also carry a thousand soldiers, it is definitely the overlord of Toei!"
"W-That's amazing...... So there should be a name, right? ”
"Naturally." Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded with satisfaction, "The parts of this battleship are said to be made in the cold places of the northern country, and in that case, it is called the Yukikaze!" ”
