Mikawahara

It is located in the west of the Miyazaki area, a small three-way junction fifty kilometers outside of Okazaki Castle.

If you want to go to Maitreya Plain, then travelers must pass through this place.

Because it is a place where many people pass by, people have started to live here. The residents of Mikawahara do not farm here.

Most of them earn their livelihood by selling trinkets or providing accommodation and food to passing travelers.

Originally, because of the arrival of Zhao Hongyu and them, Fujita Takaso, the lord of the Miyazaki region, had already issued a 'relocation order'. In order to seek to start a scorched earth war against Zhao Hongyu and his enemies in Kyushu, the people of Mikawahara did not obey the lord's decree at all.

Because for them, they don't believe that there will be an enemy who can spread wild here in Kyushu.

Moreover, from the mouths of some travelers, they also learned about the thirteen daimyo of all Kyushu, and gathered more than 150,000 troops to prepare to fight those foreigners.

Therefore, the inhabitants of Mikawahara did not think that those enemies could be opponents of the Kyushu coalition army at all.

That's more than 150,000 troops.

Not to mention those foreigners, even the shogunate is impressed that Kyushu can gather so many troops.

Of course, the main thing is that no one believes that the coalition army, which has gathered thirteen daimyos from Kyushu, will lose the battle against foreigners.

It's simply unimaginable.

Therefore, they did not leave their village and continued to live as usual.

It's a pity that the villagers of Sankawahara would not know that the 13 daimyos of Kyushu this time were not ordinary enemies at all.

And they are even more ignorant that just before nine o'clock this morning, the Kyushu coalition army has been defeated by foreigners.

In this era, information is still very slow to spread. Especially since there are not many channels.

It's like another time and space, through the Internet, the things of the whole world can be known within ten minutes.

The small village of Mikawahara has a total population of just over 200 people.

There are only a few dozen houses.

When Tokugawa Kayo and his army surrounded the small village of Mikawahara, the villagers of this village were enjoying lunch in their homes.

In addition to these villagers, there were also a dozen merchants and travelers who went to Okazaki Castle.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the army and the wolf-like soldiers, these villagers regretted that they did not obey the orders of the lord and all moved to Okazaki Castle.

But. What's the use of regretting it now.

Now it's all over.

There is everything in this world, but there is no after-meeting medicine to sell.

Because the village was small, the soldiers quickly drove the villagers out and gathered them in a small square in the middle of the village.

The villagers, the merchants, and the travelers, faced with the swords and guns of the soldiers, their faces filled with fear and trepidation, and their uncertainty about the future.

They don't know what kind of action these people will do to them, to kill them? Or something else?

Man. The unknown is the most fearful.

This point is well explained by the villagers of Mikawahara, who are concentrated in a small open space in the center of the village.

"My lord, I don't know what I'm going to do?"

The village chief of Mikawahara. An old man about fifty years old walked out with courage and asked Yuji Riverside with a smile on his face.

Although the village chief's face was full of smiles, Yuji Kawabe could clearly see fear and fear in his eyes.

"Go over there and stand up. Don't talk without asking. We are the army of the Song Empire, and today we have defeated the coalition of thirteen daimyo of Kyushu in Maitreyahara, and the lord of Miyazaki, Fujita Takaji, has fled back to Okazaki Castle. We're about to talk about the Okazaki Castle Crusade. ”

Not!

The people nearby listened to Yuji Kawabe's words with a look of disbelief on their faces.

In fact, it is no secret that the thirteen daimyo of Kyushu have assembled an army of 150,000 in Maitreya.

It was just to their shock that the army of 150,000 people was defeated in this way.

It's not a joke, is it?

Although many people's first thought is like this, but seeing the expression on Yuji River's face, it seems that this thing is not fake.

Since it is not fake, then this thing must be true.

So how could they not be shocked by the fact that 150,000 people of the Kyushu Coalition Army were defeated.

And this fat man, who looked no different from his native people, also spoke the same Japanese language, saying that they were the army of the Song Empire. I guess it must be the foreigners that the lord said.

"Don't look at me so strangely, I used to be a military general in Osaka Castle, because I saw the strength of the Song Empire, so I have surrendered to the Song Empire and surrendered to the crown prince."

Yuji Riverside swept over these villagers one by one with a dick-like gaze.

Seeing these people's eyes, there was horror and respect and fear, which made Yuji Kawabe's heart feel very refreshed.

"Guys, I'm going to announce something more."

Yuji Kawabe asked his soldiers to surround the entire small clearing, and then he looked at the villagers under the escort of the guards and said loudly.

"I know what the Miyazaki lord Fujita Takaji said to you, he must have told you that my lord is a foreigner, so let you come against us, right?"

Although I don't know what the fat man who claims to be the military commander of Osaka Castle and has now taken refuge with foreigners will do, these villagers are still very obedient and honest to Yuji Kawabe under the threat of knives and guns.

"My lord, we are all small people, and we are not very clear about these things. However, this is exactly what Lord Fujita said at the time, but we would never dare to infringe on you. ”

The village chief said to Yuji Kawabe with a grin.

Yuji Riverbe waved his hand impatiently: "I don't want to hear this, I just want to tell you that our Song Empire didn't come to Kyushu to be enemies of you ordinary people." Because we have been recognized by the emperor and the shogun, Kyushu is already ours. ”

Yuji Kawabe selectively told some 'truths'.

"The thirteen daimyo don't want to give up their power at all, so they will rebel. In fact, they didn't take the emperor and the shogunate seriously at all, and they were reluctant to give up their rights. In fact, Kyushu will become a place for the Tokugawa family to control, and it has nothing to do with our Song Empire. We came to Kyushu only to protect the interests of the Tokugawa family. ”

The Tokugawa family?

The villagers, the merchants, and the travelers, couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

The name of the Tokugawa family is not ordinary.

And if you dare to call it the Tokugawa family here in the Wa Kingdom, then there is only one family.

That was the family of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who failed in the battle with the shogunate ten or twenty years ago.

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu failed, his 'prestige' has been passed down and has been praised by many low-class people.

Originally, these people thought that the Tokugawa family had failed, and that the entire clan had died.

But today they learned that the Tokugawa family had reappeared, and they had also received the approval of the shogunate and the emperor. It became the control of the whole Kyushu.

This news is really very exciting.

Originally, when these people heard that Yuji Hebe was from the Song Empire, they were still very uneasy.

However, when they heard that Kyushu would be ruled by the Tokugawa family in the future, the fear in their hearts gradually dissipated a lot.

It's really hard to understand when such a situation occurs.

With Yuji Kawabe's narration, the hidden resistance in the hearts of these people, Tokugawa Kayo walked out under the escort of Hattori Onizo.

Wow, it's a little girl.

When the crowd saw him wearing armor. When he walked up to Tokugawa Kayo in front of everyone, he couldn't help but look dumbfounded one by one.

"This is the daughter of the Tokugawa family, Miss Tokugawa Kayo, who has been approved by the Emperor and the Shogunate. He is the true master and controller of Kyushu! ”

Tokugawa Kayo couldn't hold back the scene, so at this time, it was up to Hattori Onizo to speak.

Yuji Riverside on the side kept complaining in his heart: What a bullshit Kyushu controller, if you don't have the support of the crown prince, you are a fart. Do you really think I don't know the truth? I'm not an idiot from the wellhead zozo. Even if the crown prince supports you to restore the name of the Tokugawa family, your lifeblood will still be captured by the crown prince.

All. Even if your Tokugawa family is restored in your hands, you will not be able to escape the control of the crown prince for the rest of your life.

With the strength of the infantry of the Song Empire, the Tokugawa family was revived...... Hey!

Yuji Kawabe couldn't help sneering in his heart.

He's pretty much predictable by now. In the future, Kyushu will definitely be secretly divided into several small forces by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that everyone can contain each other.

When the time comes, no matter who is too powerful, then they will be suppressed.

Yuji Kawabe is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is still the smartest guy among all the widows who have taken refuge in Zhao Hongyu.

Don't look at him as obsessive, but he has a delicate heart.

Moreover, he is very unconvinced that he is likely to obey the orders of a little girl in name in the future.

After all, Yuji Kawabe is also a Japanese man, so he also has Japanese machismo in his bones, and he looks down on women.

Of course, Yuji Kawabe looks down on other women, but he is not like this at home.

He loved his wife, who looked like a good woman, and would turn into a fat sheep in his wife.

But for the women outside, Yuji Riverside won't be like this.

Not even Tokugawa Kayo.

It's just that Yuji Kawabe, who is smart, won't show these thoughts on his face.

The villagers of Mikawahara muttered in their hearts, they didn't know if these people had driven themselves here to say these things?

"Come on, bring the captives up!"

When Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Kizo had finished speaking to the villagers, Yuji Kawabe beckoned to his men. Subsequently, the Kyushu soldiers who were captured in Maitreya were all pressed up.

The expressions of these captives were very strange, sometimes red and sometimes white, and each of them still had a piece of paper in his hand, and he didn't know what was written on the paper.

Basically, these captives had an Imperial Cooperative Army accompanying them, and at the same time, the expressions on their faces were gloating.

Hum!

I think my grandfather did these things too, so now I can see that others are enjoying this kind of thing, and I feel really comfortable.

All the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army secretly thought like this in their hearts.

Dare to love, these Kyushu captives held a piece of paper with words written on it, which was full of small stories about what happened between the emperor and the shogun, and even the shogun's wife and some famous ministers were also mixed in the story.

Something like this, these soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army have really experienced it before.

Thinking of their own experiences at that time, these soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army felt a little like yesterday.

It is precisely because they have experienced it themselves, so when someone will follow in their footsteps, these guys are very gloating one by one.

"Come one by one, don't be in a hurry!"

Yuji Riverbe waved his hand and let one of the guys walk out first.

Seriously, Yuji Kawabe himself went through such a thing.

It was precisely because he performed well at the beginning that he had such a status today.

The guy who was picked out by Yuji Riverside walked out with a paper full of words in his hand and weak legs, and then stood still.

However, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and he did not speak for a long time.

"I can't read and ......", when this guy found that Yuji River's face began to be unkind, he suddenly knelt on the ground with weak legs, and cried bitterly to Yuji Riverbe.

This guy found out about Yuji River's killing intentions, and he didn't doubt that this fat man would kill him, so he didn't care about any shame at this time, he had to beg this fat man now.

"Illiterate?"

Yuji Kawabe froze for a moment when he heard this, then raised his hand and patted his forehead.

Ouch, I really didn't think about it, I didn't think about it.

Yuji Kawabe suddenly felt that he had made a mistake.

Yes, in this era, whether it is the East or Hope, in fact, there are many illiterates.

In this era, it is not like another time and space, where elementary and junior high schools are everywhere, and illiteracy can be avoided.

You must know that in this era, literacy and hyphenation are all children of the wealthy family.

The people at the bottom don't think about this problem at all.

Fortunately, Yuji Kawabe was very smart, and he summoned a subordinate who knew how to read by his side and whispered a few words to him.

Then, the subordinate walked up to the crying Kyushu captive, lowered his voice and said to him: "I'll read it aloud, you say it loudly, and if you make a mistake, you will be killed......"

Soon, when the Kyushu captive began to 'tell stories' loudly, Yuji Kawabe laughed.

The faces of Tokugawa Kayo and the villagers became more and more strange. (To be continued......)
