Chapter 453: Dig the foot of the tiger wall again
Inside the wine house, everyone was attracted by the burly ronin's words. It is rare to be able to learn about news from more distant places here, and everyone is naturally willing to listen to it. Maybe what they hear today can be used as capital for them to brag about in the future.
"Ahem!" After taking another sip of wine, the burly ronin finally spoke again, "What I'm going to talk about next is none other than the Hizen Eagle, one of the 'Western Twin Heroes'. ”
"Who is Hizen Eagle?" After the burly ronin finished speaking, many ronins immediately asked.
"Hehe, this is in the next Zhilu Dao." Someone immediately replied, "It is said that this person is a daimyo in Kitakyushu. Just like the Takeda Harunobu you just discussed, he is also a young daimyo. ”
"Hehe, it is said that just over three years ago, this Fat Front Eagle was just a wealthy family in a small territory of less than fifty stones." Just as the ronins below began to inquire who the Hizen Eagle was, the burly ronin continued, "It seems that the age is about the same as the daimyo that everyone is talking about, and it has not been long since the Yuan Suit. ”
"Since then, this guy has been through several great battles, and he has been quite brave and resourceful, and he has gradually become known as the 'Hizen Eagle', and at the beginning of this year, he defeated the 30,000-strong coalition of the powerful daimyo Otomo family in Kyushu with an army of less than 5,000 men. Now, he is a powerful daimyo who controls the two countries of Hizen and Chikugo in Kyushu. "Khan, this guy is blowing cowhide. Stunned, the number of coalition troops of the Otomo family's more than 10,000 was blown to 30,000. However, this is also the favorite thing that many ronins like to do, after all, the more mysterious it is, the more attractive it is.
"Wouldn't it, it's only been more than three years, and he has gone from a small wealthy clan with less than fifty stone in his territory to a powerful daimyo who controls the two countries?" The crowd immediately began to discuss.
Such an astonishing rise is truly a miracle. Even Kansuke Yamamoto, who had been listening with his head down, raised his head in surprise.
"I heard that his leadership is very prosperous. and took refuge in his subjects. Fields can be cultivated free of charge. If the agricultural tax is collected only once a year, there is no need to pay other taxes. And the ronin he recruited, his family was not only able to get the land, but the ronin himself was also able to get a good salary. What a place to go. The burly ronin threw another bombshell.
"Nani?" The inside of the brewery suddenly became jubilant like boiling water.
"Your Excellency, is what you just said true? As long as you settle there, you can get free land to cultivate, and you only collect an agricultural tax once a year? ”
"Hehe, this is indeed true. And it applies to everyone, even the homeless and filthy people will be resettled. The burly ronin said with a smile.
"It's really good there?"
"I don't know this very well, but it is said that even the average ashigaru one-year Yuroku is much higher than many daimyos."
"So good? Is it true or not? ”
"Hmph, I'm already planning to move there this month." Questioned by others, the burly ronin replied disdainfully.
"Huh?" "Can I go with you to investigate?" ”
After the burly ronin expressed that he had decided to settle there, many ronins immediately expressed their willingness to go to Kyushu to confirm on the spot.
"There's no problem with this, but I'd like to remind you that after entering the territory of that Hizen Eagle, you generally can't come out casually again. So when the time comes, in order to return here. You'll only have to learn a little about it around their territory. The burly ronin explained.
"What? That is, you haven't been there to see it either? Aren't you lying? Many people immediately became angry.
"Hehe, it's true that I've only been around there to check and confirm, and besides, a few of my clansmen have already settled there, and it was they who wrote back and asked me to wait for the whole clan to move over."
"Didn't Your Excellency just say that you can't walk out of the border at will after entering? How did you receive the letters that came out of it? Someone immediately questioned.
"There are some commercial houses where people can come and go freely, as long as they are entrusted to help deliver letters. As long as they stop by the way, they will help you transmit, and all the costs of sending letters during this period are borne by the daimyo known as Hizen Eagle, and it is completely free. The burly ronin explained again.
"Is there such a place in the world?" Everyone couldn't help but be curious. Even Kansuke Yamamoto couldn't help frowning and thinking.
Wandering around for a long time had made him get into the habit of going to the sake house first whenever he went to a place. There, he could easily hear a lot of news. And since he was rejected by the Imagawa family, although he was very disappointed in his heart, he didn't think about seeking a career from other daimyos. After all, there is no place to stay here, there is a place to keep a master.
When you come to the sake brewery, you can naturally learn more about the daimyo here, so that you can plan for his next destination. At this time, Oda, Takeda, Nagao, and just Roche, the names of these daimyo were all remembered by him.
Of course, if nothing else, he will go to Owari and Kai in the near collar first. Historically, it was after he went to Kai that he was recommended to work under Takeda Harunobu after being appreciated by Takeda Harunobu's important minister, Itagaki Nobukata. Since then, he has begun his brilliant career as a one-eyed military division, until he proposed the woodpecker method of warfare in the fourth battle of Kawanakajima in 1561, but because Uesugi Kenshin saw through the intentions of the Takeda army, the Takeda army suffered heavy losses, and finally in order to take the responsibility for the failure of the strategy, he refused to bear the stigma and steal his life, and led several brave soldiers to rush into the enemy line and slash 17 people successively, and finally died honorably, proving his loyalty to the Takeda family with his own sacrifice.
"Your Excellency, I wonder what Your Excellency Lu Dao thinks of this Hizen Eagle?" While Kansuke Yamamoto was pondering, the ronin, who had been sitting across from him, suddenly spoke.
Kansuke Yamamoto looked up and was met with a smiling and expectant face.
"Well, this is indeed a thing that goes against common sense but has to be surprising, if what Your Excellency said is indeed true, then it really makes Zai have to admire." After a moment's deep groaning, Kansuke Yamamoto commented.
"Hehe, that's true." Ronin immediately laughed when he heard Kansuke Yamamoto's evaluation.
"Huh?" Kansuke Yamamoto couldn't figure out what the ronin Fang Cai on the other side meant for a while? It's as if the other party seems to know what he will say.
I saw the ronin on the other side smile and speak again; "My lord once said to me that if Yamamoto-sama evaluates his affairs, he will first doubt the truth of the matter, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."
"Huh? You know the following. Kansuke Yamamoto was vigilant in an instant, and the sword at his feet was quietly held in his hand. As long as the opponent makes a bad move, he will draw his knife and slash.
"Hehe, Lord Yamamoto doesn't need to be nervous, I did come here for you in accordance with my lord, but it's too noisy here, why don't you explain it to Lord Yamamoto one by one, why don't you ask Lord Yamamoto to move outside the wine house, and then explain it to Lord Yamamoto in detail?" Ronin said with a smile. At the same time, he also put the co-chauffeur on the table to show no malice.
Kansuke Yamamoto snorted coldly at the ronin, but remained indifferent.
"Hehe, the head of my family once said that you must treat Lord Yamamoto with courtesy, and even think that even if I am ten, Wu Yong may not be the opponent of Lord Yamamoto's swordsmanship, and I guess that Lord Yamamoto should be able to judge whether he can cause harm to adults." Ronin continued to laugh.
"Who the hell is your father-in-law?" Kansuke Yamamoto asked. In fact, at this moment, he already secretly had an answer in his heart.
"My father-in-law once said that as long as I talk to you a few words, I will definitely be guessed who my father-in-law is. My father-in-law's words have never been missed, so, in the next guess, the adults already have the answer in their hearts, right? "If Yamamoto-sama wants to know more about it, please talk about it outside." ”
"Humph!" I don't know why, Kansuke Yamamoto seems to have suddenly become interested in the head of the family that the ronin is talking about, so after snorting coldly, he dropped a few copper coins and stood up, turned around and began to walk outside the takaya.
The ronin on the other side smiled, and after dropping a few copper coins on the table, he followed Kansuke Yamamoto to the outside of the tavern.
"Say, now you can tell me who your lordship is, right?" When he came to the shore of Lake Hamana, which was less frequented, Kansuke Yamamoto stopped, turned around with the ether knife still in his hand as a crutch, and said to the ronin behind him.
