Chapter 849: Heart-to-heart conversation
Let me lead?
When Hattori Kizo listened to what Tokugawa Kayo said to him, he couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart.
Yes, Hattori Kizo is just a ninja army leader, although people like them have powerful abilities, but it is precisely because they have such abilities that those daimyo in the Warring States Period, although they can accept people like them, but they are very wary.
Something like having a ninja lead the battle is absolutely impossible.
At the beginning, his brother Hattori Hanzo was working under Tokugawa Ieyasu, and it seemed that he had won Tokugawa Ieyasu's trust, but these were just superficial appearances.
In fact, under Tokugawa Ieyasu, Hattori Hanzo did not have much power.
Even in the era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the status that Tokugawa Ieyasu gave Hattori Hanzo was only worth 20,000 koku. And he doesn't have real power, but he just lets him serve on the Edo side and looks at him to death.
This is not because the ninja's ability is too strong, and daimyos like Tokugawa Ieyasu are afraid that if they give the ninja real power, things will change that they can't control.
If these ninjas have too much power, with the strength of their ninjas, it would be terrible for them to rebel.
Therefore, during the Warring States Period, no matter whether the ninja took refuge in any of the daimyos and tried their best to do things for them, they had no way to gain the true trust of those daimyos.
In order to suppress these ninjas, their status is just higher than that of ordinary people.
It's completely impossible to compare with those samurai.
Samurai have a much higher status than ninjas, they are people with class.
Ninja is different.
People like Hattori Hanzo wanted to change the status of ninjas because they were not convinced, so they chose a daimyo who he was optimistic about and took refuge in the past.
However, Hattori Hanzo served Tokugawa Ieyasu all his life. Even his death did not fulfill his ideals.
I have to say, this is really a tragedy.
In fact, it is not surprising at all, in the environment of the Wa Kingdom, it is really very difficult for ninjas to achieve the same status as samurai.
First of all, it is because their strength is too strong, and they have not been brainwashed by bushido like samurai, so they cannot achieve the same status as samurai in the general social environment.
These are the result of deliberate suppression.
And this kind of thinking has already taken shape here in the Wa Kingdom, and it is really very difficult to change people's minds all at once.
It's also on another plane. Even at the end of the Tokugawa period, there was no reason for the status of ninjas to change. At the same time, because of the end of the Warring States period, the use of ninjas was greatly reduced, so ninjas gradually declined.
Moreover, after the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu, his third successor, in order to completely solve the threat of ninjas, used his heir as bait to make the two major ninja schools at that time fight each other.
The end result was that both schools of thought were basically wiped out.
This is the famous 'Koga Ninja Hothe) incident in the history of the Wa Kingdom in another time and space.
It can be seen from this that the ninjas want to be improved. Actually, it's really difficult.
It's just that I don't know if this will be the case in this era?
After all, some of the history in this time and space has changed.
Although the general trend still follows the historical context. But in some details, another fork in the road has already begun to appear.
In addition, Hattori Kizo took Iga Shinobi and took refuge in Zhao Hongyu, the lord who is very different in thought. Then he and his dead brother's ideals may really have a chance.
You must know that Zhao Hongyu is not a famous man.
So. He doesn't have the same ideas and ideas as the Japanese people.
Zhao Hongyu's concept is completely a very modern mode of thinking in another time and space. Therefore, the concept of making the best use of people's talents will not be like the name of the Wa Kingdom.
For Zhao Hongyu, in fact, there is nothing wrong with improving his status.
It's like in the Americas, where the status of the military is higher than that of ordinary people.
After all, people who do things for the country (themselves) always have a higher status, so as to attract more people to join in defending the country.
But anyway, now that Hattori Ghost is listening to Miss Tokugawa Kayo's words, his heart is really churning.
"Miss, are you telling the truth, really let me lead the way?"
Hattori Kizo sat on his knees opposite Tokugawa Kayo, and his excitement was palpable at a glance.
Tokugawa Kayo looked at Hattori Uizo's excited look, but smiled very understandingly.
After all, she has lived with Hattori Onizo and them for more than ten years, so it is impossible for her not to understand what kind of ideals Hattori Hidezo has.
"That's right, I'm going to give you the lead, select 1,500 people from the captured soldiers of Okazaki, and then communicate with the Imperial Army, and ask them to draw 500 people to form a corps of 2,000 people led by you and start attacking the northern area of Miyazaki."
With Tokugawa Kayo's words, Hattori Hidezo's shoulders trembled slightly.
It would be impossible to say that he was not excited.
This was what he and his brother had always dreamed of.
That is to get rid of the identity of a ninja and become a general who commands the army in battle.
Only after crossing this hurdle can he begin to seek the identity of a samurai.
"I know your ideals, and I'm different from the big names. At the same time, I don't think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have a strange eye for people like Uncle Kizo like the daimyo here in the Wa Kingdom, so why don't I take this opportunity to help you. ”
Tokugawa Kayo told the truth and didn't hide anything.
She said her heart to Hattori Onizo very directly, and she wanted to take this opportunity to fulfill Hattori Onizo's ideal.
"Uncle Kizo, my dream is to revive the Tokugawa family. Now it seems that I can almost accomplish this ideal, and I have an explanation for the ancestors of the Tokugawa family, but I have no interest in being a governor or anything. I think you also understand this clearly, Uncle Ghost, my ideal is to be a commoner who has no quarrel with the world, to have a husband who likes me, and to live a plain life like this......"
Rare. Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Onizo start a heart-to-heart conversation.
Yes, as their side and Zhao Hongyu's side began to be invincible in Kyushu, it would be very difficult to have a chance to talk like this in the future.
After all, with the passage of time and the change of everyone's status, people's psychology and thoughts will also begin to change.
Therefore, when everyone has not changed, it is also good to talk about it once.
At least, that's how Tokugawa Kayo sees it.
"Miss!"
Hattori Kizo knelt there and performed a Japanese courtesy to Tokugawa Kayo.
"And most importantly. I need Uncle Ghost to have a certain amount of military power so that I can live more comfortably in the future. I don't like intrigue or anything, but it's better to be on guard. ”
Tokugawa Kayo said seriously to Hattori Kizo.
Hearing this, Hattori Kizo asked softly, "What does Miss mean, that is ...... for His Highness", and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tokugawa Kayo, only to see the little girl shake her head: "No, I'm not talking about His Highness." Actually, he didn't have any ill will towards us at all, I was talking about guarding against those people on the shogunate's side. ”
Hattori Oizo breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want the young lady to have any bad thoughts about that highness.
Since they took refuge in this highness, they have experienced a lot of wars with him, and they also have a thorough understanding of the military strength of the Song Empire.
To be honest, there is no doubt about the strength of the Song Empire.
If the relationship between the young lady and this highness cannot be handled well. All of them would be very dangerous.
Hattori Kizo didn't believe it, and they had the strength to resist the wrath of His Highness.
You must know the way, in the face of absolute strength, what conspiracies and clever wisdom. That's useless.
There is a good saying in the Ming Kingdom, which is called 'one force to ten meetings', which is the truth.
Hattori Kizo, who breathed a sigh of relief, asked, "So what do you mean, Miss?" ”
Tokugawa Yoshiyo said to Hattori Kizo, "After I became the governor of Kyushu, the shogunate had an agreement with His Highness. But I don't think they'll be reconciled. When the shogunate solves their internal problems, they will definitely start to attack us. So we need to be able to control an army ourselves, and that's going to make us safe. Instead of relying on Yuji by the river and Zaisan at the wellhead, don't you think it's safest to control an army by yourself, Uncle Ghost? ”
At this point, Hattori Kizo completely understood Tokugawa Kayo's thoughts.
It turned out that she didn't mean anything to anyone, she just felt that she should be in charge of an army.
After all, if you have an army that belongs to you, you can calmly deal with even dangers in the future, instead of begging people everywhere and pinning your hopes on others.
If that's the case, what if the person who was given high hopes drops the chain?
Therefore, it is better to ask for others than for yourself.
Of course, Tokugawa Kayo still had a small idea in his heart that he didn't say to Hattori Onizo, that is, Tokugawa Kayo wanted to have an army so that she could raise her head a little in front of Zhao Hongyu.
In the future, when she pursues His Royal Highness the crown prince, she will not be too inferior.
Tokugawa Kayo understood that although she could sit as the governor of Kyushu, it could be regarded as restoring the glory of the Tokugawa family.
However, it would be best if the crown prince could be pasted.
After all, everything he has was given by the crown prince, and he can take it back at will and easily.
Therefore, only by becoming his woman can he be less wary of himself, and at the same time, he can also seek a future for Hattori Onizo and these people...... (To be continued......)
