Chapter 33: The Great Crisis of Governance
The remnants of the sun were bloody, the battle flags were withering, and the corpses strewn across the roads and plains showed the war and desolation in the area, and even the soldiers who were still alive were in no mood to clean it up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The listless soldiers of the plum blossom were dragging their tired bodies and retreating with the generals towards the traditional ruling area of the Oda family, and there were signs that they seemed to have lost the battle of Mihegawa.
If you look at the results of the battle, the Oda family obviously has an advantage in this joint battle, Uesugi Kenshin's main cavalry team and elite iron artillery team were all annihilated, and those spellcasters were even defeated by the evil army of Fenglin Volcano.
Not to mention the Chinese army of the female tiger herself, the Thunderbolt team's self-detonation attack (Nobunaga propaganda) caused the enemy's own team command to fail, and it is said that even the female tiger herself was injured, but it is unknown how it happened.
But the problem now is that Nobunaga's army has also suffered a lot, and after the battle of the 3,000 iron artillery team, half of them are left, and the various formations are damaged, and only the new army and the evil army can barely fight.
Needless to say, these cowardly bastards are simply a disgrace to Nobunaga's army, and she has long made up her mind that as long as she returns to the rear, she will immediately start special training, and she must train these wastes.
The evil army did not obey orders very much, but now it has made great achievements, and in addition to its own losses, it has formed a bad situation in which the lord is weak and the minister is strong.
In the face of such a situation, it is really difficult to make it easy, but fortunately, the Brittan mercenaries are still quite powerful, and after the general of Lorraine conquered the Jingshui Sect, he broke through the Itatang Mountain army on the flank of the Uesugi army.
What's even more incredible is that he also sent a lot of loot, and the mercenaries will also pay so much loot, and this is the first time Nobunaga has seen it.
"Maybe he has other intentions?"
Nobunaga could only convince himself that the most important thing at the moment was to go back to recuperate and recuperate, and by the way, find a way to weaken the power of the evil army.
The question is, how could the unruly army not realize this problem!
On the way back to Edo, someone had already quietly avoided the ninja army's defense line and directly found the leader of the evil army, the grimace general Fujido Jubei.
It is said that this grimace general used to be quite handsome, but unfortunately the handsome fiancée had that relationship with this guy's younger brother, and was poisoned and disfigured, but in the end he successfully killed him!
The twists and turns of the plot can almost shoot the two or three things of the general Guigongzi and his fiancée, which is really exciting!
"What the hell do you want to do here!?"
The parties concerned will not be interested in such bullshit things, and Fujitang suppresses the anger in his heart, so as not to kill the messenger on the opposite side with a knife.
"I'm sorry Fujido-sama, but I'm just a little curious...... Closer to home, don't you feel a little tired of living under Nobunaga? ”
"Is this what Ridgway's rabbit cub is saying?"
"This ......"
The messenger was a little embarrassed, didn't this guy say that his head was full of muscles?
How did he know that he was a lobbyist of the Uesugi family as soon as he opened his mouth, or was he ordered by Li Qiwei's military advisor to come to test the leader of the evil army.
"There's no need to be so twisting and pinching, I haven't seen anything in Fujido, and it's common sense that the lord is a little scared, the question is what can the Uesugi female tiger give me?"
Fuji Tang doesn't care about the bad things of the Royal Three Family, he only wants to see the real benefits, don't worry about other things, and if you can't get it, you can grab it with a knife!
That's why this guy can become the head of the evil army, it's a little ugly......
"Well, the shogun is also a straight intestine, as long as you can help the Uesugi family, Edo, Yokohama, and Osaka are all yours!"
"Hah! All three merchants belong to me? ”
Fujitang's tone was a little sarcastic, but he was already moved in his heart, these three metropolises are now the top three commercial capitals in Dongying.
The annual business tax alone is as much as one million silver, as long as you restrain yourself a little, win over a group of businessmen and kill a group of bastards, and your net worth can easily reach tens of millions!
Seeing Fujitang's somewhat hesitant face, the envoy understood that this guy was already moved, and continued: "The general doesn't need to hesitate so much, the military advisor also knows that you are a loyal person, and he did not ask you to kill Nobunaga. ”
"That's right...... So what are the conditions? ”
"Take Kyoto and welcome back the Emperor!"
"The Emperor?"
Fujido didn't expect that the envoy didn't want to kill the lord himself, nor did he ask for the contribution of the city, but just a Kyoto and the emperor.
He felt that this condition was acceptable, although Kyoto was not far from Edo, but the declining city did not have many troops to defend it.
With no military forces and no tall walls, Kyoto was almost an undefended city in the history of Toei, and of course the culture of the ministers there was relatively strong, and various luxury goods and entertainment industries were also developed.
As for the Emperor, it is easier to find, since the Light Source clan abolished the Emperor's rights, the military generals have taken turns to govern, and the poor Emperor His Majesty can only live as a puppet.
As the most noble emperor of Toei, of course, he can't rely on anything, but the problem is that the shogun won't give him too much money.
In order to maintain the meaningless prestige, he had to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, borrowing debts everywhere, mortgaging national treasures when repaying debts, and even princesses sometimes had to marry rich merchants in exchange for property.
Since the Oda clan took control of the government, the emperor's life has become more and more difficult, and His Majesty Emperor Tokusho, who succeeded to the throne, is said to have sold his royal estate and renovated the only palace and began to live as a bathhouse owner.
In short, His Majesty the Emperor of Toei is really living a hot life.
Thinking about it this way, Fujido felt that he could still make a deal, and he was nothing more than a waste emperor.
"Hmm...... Yes, but I need more support, I can't defeat Kyoto with cavalry alone, and the most I can take with me is fifteen hundred. ”
"There is no problem with this, we have already contacted foreign arms dealers, and we can get those best iron cannons in Xiyi, and we guarantee that you will be satisfied!"
"Really? Don't look for any kind of shitty waste, Xiyi merchants are notoriously cunning. ”
"Don't worry, we're looking for the royal merchant of the Grand Duchy of Rus', Yuri Orlov!"
"It turned out to be the merchant of death, didn't this guy plant a big heel in Songguo?"
"It's because of the big heels that we can buy a large number of arms at a low price, and I also brought some samples, you can take a look."
The messenger instructed the Ashigaru to come in with a few boxes, and opened them one by one to introduce them to Fujido, "You see, this rifle is now used by Nobunaga's Xiyi mercenaries, and it has a long range and great power, and the bullets used are very cheap. ”
"There is also this, a delicate revolver, five rounds at a time, as long as you pay attention not to fire too fast, you can shoot five times, and you are invincible in close combat!"
"This kind of this! See? This is an expensive enchanted bullet from the Xiyi, and it is said that it can crack all spells, and the magic bullet is really a good thing. ”
