"Didn't you just recruit 3,000 ronins for your country, why, now you have to recruit another 6,000?" Doi Echichu Mamoru looked at Dai Shuyong in front of him dumbfounded, although the shogunate was happy to see that Huaxia had brought out all the ronins who caused domestic turmoil in Japan, but three thousand plus six thousand was nearly ten thousand, which could not help but make the shogunate worry about Huaxia's fundamental intentions. "That's too much, I'm afraid it's unlikely that the shogunate will agree."
"This envoy also knows," Dai Tongjian looked at the other party with a smile, the excitement of recruiting ronins before made him full of confidence in recruiting another six thousand people. "But the recruitment of the Japanese was agreed upon in the peace treaty between the two countries, and the official only asked the shogunate to help with this, and if the shogunate intends to shirk it, in fact, the envoy can also handle it on its own."
These words made Doi Echichumori's face cloudy, so he argued with reason: "Lord Dai, the peace treaty does stipulate that Chinese merchants can hire Japanese to enter and leave Japan, but it does not say that the Japanese should fight for China. ”
"Out of Japan, can the shogunate manage so much?" Dai Shuyong asked rhetorically. "Besides, we gave a reasonable reward, and 500 koku is not a small amount in Japan, if they don't want to fight with their lives, how can we give them so lightly." Dai Tongjian smiled faintly at the displeased Doi Echichu Mamoru with a displeased face. "Don't worry, I won't let these ronins do anything harmful to the shogunate." Dai Shuyong explained. "Recently, wars have become frequent on the North Korean side, and we can't help but take precautions."
"Will these ronins be used in North Korea?" Doi narrowed his eyes and thought about it. "Okay, the official will make another proposal to the shogunate to help Lord Dai complete the task of recruitment, but the lower official has one condition." Doi looked directly into Dai Tongjian's eyes. "Now that these ronins have left Japan, I hope they won't be allowed to come back."
Dai Shuyong laughed: "This thing is easy to do, but in addition to these six thousand, I'm afraid I will have to recruit some more at that time." ”
Doi replied with a sneer: "Over the years, I am afraid that too many ronins will affect the foundation of the shogunate, and the shogun has rarely changed the feudal domains, if your court can help the shogunate solve this hidden worry, I think the shogunate will earnestly fulfill the treaties." ”
Doi's words have already made it clear that Huaxia can use the manpower of Japan, and the shogunate can also obtain the necessary funds to maintain its financial health through the change, which is a win-win situation, and the only thing that will be betrayed is the unlucky Daimyo and the warriors under his command who threaten the existence of the shogunate.
"That's very good, both countries can take what they need." How could Dai Tongjian object? "Then it's a ?????? to say it."
"You guys, it's funny to say." Standing in a newly leveled camp in Jixian County, a military attache of Japanese descent of Xia Army was barking wildly at the hundreds of ragged Wa Ronin soldiers in front of him. "What warriors, what ronin, they are all a group of people who can't fight, Edo has such a big advantage in a battle, and you actually lost it, I am ashamed of you, you have tarnished the honorific title of warrior." Looking at the somewhat tumultuous procession, the military attache continued. "What? If you're not convinced, it's right to be unconvinced, it means that you still have the shame of a warrior??????"
"Jingshan-kun, I can't help it, I'm going to kill that guy." In the group, two ronins standing close to each other were whispering. "These Jili Chidan, these homeless vicious dogs, now look like dogs, and it makes people angry when they look at them."
"Okay, Kogoro, they are no longer homeless vicious dogs, they have the Gu Fu of the Xia people, no, they have been naturalized into the Xia people, but us, we are now homeless ronin." The middle-aged ronin, known as Silent Mountain, pointed to the outskirts of the camp covertly. "Have you paid attention, there are hundreds of Xia ** forces guarding outside the camp, you and I are impulsive, they will immediately rush in to suppress it, so let's be patient."
"Patience, I have been patient since the Lord's house was changed??????" Before Kogoro's words were finished, there was a commotion on the side: "What's going on?" Why is everyone squeezing forward? ”
"You idiot, what are you listening to?" Someone on the side responded. "Your Excellency, let us go up and get something."
Something, yes, not a thing. Under the threat of Xia Jun's guns, these ronins who were not stupid enough quickly learned how to line up, and then took the things given to them from Xia Jun one by one.
These items include two small spring and summer military uniforms according to Xia Jun's stature, a thin quilt, a bamboo water bottle, a tarpaulin lined with tarpaulin, two pairs of straw sandals for training, two pairs of military shoes for daily wear, a pair of chopsticks, two wooden bowls, and a soap horn?????? Although there are not many varieties, they also make Ronin's hands full.
"Xia people are so rich? The previous family had never given us so many things. ”
The ronins sighed quietly, causing more echoes on the side: "That's it, that's it, these things cost three or four dollars to say the least, and they will be matched to hundreds of people at once, and even Kaga million stones may not have such a big financial resource??????"
Some people may still think that these things are not very valuable, but when Xia Jun opened lunch next, all the ronins were amazed: "It's white rice, I didn't eat white rice every day when I was the head of the Uchida family, and Xia Jun's ordinary ashigaru can eat so well, no wonder the shogunate will lose." ”
"Eat, even if you eat, you have the strength to train when you are full." The firehead shouted in a language that the Japanese did not understand. "Don't worry, you can fill it after eating, well, this is pickled whale broth, be careful not to burn it??????"
With the help of the fragrant pickled whale broth, one of the pot-bellied kings with the best appetite stuffed seven bowls of white rice with only a piece of pickled pickles to eat, which made several fireheads dumbfounded.
"Obediently, these little Japan can eat a lot, but I heard that they can't fight much, don't be foodies who can eat but can't do it, the imperial court recruited these people to fight, maybe it's a big loss??????"
"Have you eaten enough?" The military attache of Japanese descent who had been making a lot of nonsense before came out again. "It's good to eat enough, come and take the dog out, what are you doing, if you are not afraid of being bitten by the dog, then just stay here and let the dog go!" Looking at the ronins who were forced to run around by vicious dogs, the military attache bared his teeth coldly. "I can't run, it's all lined up, otherwise the dog will really bite ??????"
On the Korean battlefield, the Qing and North Koreans fought continuously in Ruixing, Huangzhou, Sui'an, and other places after the Battle of Kaifeng, and although they were all battles of about 3,000 people, the South Korean Army lost more and won less, and gradually accumulated nearly 10,000 casualties, and more importantly, tangible material losses and invisible morale damage.
"I don't know why your lordships are willing to put your friends in the position of watching the battle, but now it seems that without the participation of the Xia army, the soldiers and horses of this dynasty are definitely not the opponents of Jianyu." Because he has obtained a certain tacit understanding with the Chinese side, Zuoguang, the former Korean trade envoy to China, is now Cao Zhenglang, a minister of Zhengwupin, although his status is not high, but his position is very important, so he can criticize those judgments and politics that are much higher than him at the court meeting without any burden. "Could it be that you want to wait until all the soldiers and horses in North Korea are gone, and then invite the Xia army to participate in the war?"
Although Quan Zuoguang's tone was a little rushed, but his words were extremely reasonable, if he really waited until all the South Korean troops were exhausted, the king of the dynasty Li Ji would have to pull down the front and ask his son-in-law to come out, and then I am afraid that Huaxia will intervene more deeply in the internal and external affairs of North Korea, so from this point of view, it is better to invite the Xia army to fight early than to invite the Xia army to fight late.
Now that they have figured it out, several Korean ministers can't care about twisting and twisting, and immediately mention to Cui Yingzhi, the left minister who has real power in the imperial court: "Lord Cui, without further ado, immediately make an appointment with Lord Cai, the messenger of the Huaxia Kingdom, and ask him about the Xia army participating in the war." ”
Li Daochang, who is also a member of Kwon Zuoguang's anti-Cui clique, reminded Li Daochang: "At the same time, we should send someone to Ningbo and submit a request to the Huaxia Imperial Court through the channel of Jin Dongbin Jin, so that it is in line with the relevant system of the Huaxia Dynasty regarding the foreign feudal court, and if one of the links is missing, the matter may be shelved indefinitely." ”
Of course, it is impossible for Huaxia to put North Korea's request for help on hold without restrictions, but it is entirely possible for Huaxia to delay the matter to the most favorable moment for it, which is certainly not in the interests of the South Korean side, so Choi Yingzhi, who will be known as a generation of powerful ministers in the future, nodded and said: "Without further ado, let's go separately." ”
At this time, Li Daochang said in a nutshell: "The lower official is willing to go to Ningbo to inform Lord Jin in person." ”
Since Cui Yingzhi is called a powerful minister, he is naturally a very smart person, Li Daochang is so earnest, he suddenly put a question mark in his heart, but at this time, it can be regarded as a national disaster, and it is not suitable to clean it immediately, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "That's okay, just ask Lord Li to work hard." ”
At the end of the court meeting, Choi Yingzhi reported the results of today's deliberations to the court king Li Ji, who had no other opinions, and in his opinion, as long as he could keep his glory and wealth, even if North Korea fell into the hands of China in the future, it had nothing to do with him.
However, Cui Yingzhi returned to the mansion and immediately called his nephew Cui Shida, who was the general of the Robbery Department, over: "Li Daochang's jumping up and down is quite suspicious, you send someone to keep an eye on it to see if anyone is conspiring with him, and report it to me after finding out." ”
"Uncle, my nephew has also heard about the affairs of the court." Cui Shida's eyes flashed. "My nephew thinks that the Hajj in China is a little unstable for Jin Dongbin, and this position is extremely important, so it is better to send our own people."
"There's some truth to what you're saying." Cui Yingzhi immediately remembered how he started, so he decided. "When he expells Jianyu this time, he will immediately replace Jin Dongbin, and as for Li Daochang, when he comes back from Huaxia, he will rush to Shangqing Dao."
"Uncle Wise ??????"
