Chapter 435: Eccentric Yanagi Sect
"Tajima Mamoru ...... Is it a powerful official position? Fujimaru Rika asked suspiciously to a few people on the side.
"But Ma Shou, it's great to say it's powerful, and it's average to say it's average."
The answer to her question was the treasure temple Yinshun, he thought about it, as if he was thinking about something, "This official position itself is an idle position, and there are more than a dozen idle positions of this level, but after all, it is from Edo, so no one can slack off, and neither can Matsudaira Chief." ”
But Ma Shou's official position is just an official position, without his own duties and responsibilities, which is equivalent to a guest secretary, but since he is from Edo, he must be a big man in the shogunate, even if it is a daimyo of a country, he can't be lazy, a bit of an emperor's envoy.
"Moreover, if this person is Yanagi Danma Mamoru, then you have to be even more careful."
He continued: "After all, in this era, when it comes to Yanagi Danma Mamori, it must be the father of the Yagyu Shibei, Yanagi Zongju!" ”
Although Miyamoto Musashi is indeed a very famous swordsman in the island country, after all, it has a history of more than 2,000 years, and there are still countless powerful swordsmen like stars in the sky.
The Yanagi family is one of them.
Liusheng Shizhou Zhai Zongyan, Liusheng Danma Shouzong, Liusheng Ten Soldiers and Three Strict, the three generations of father and son as one of the few three generations of Yanagi swordsmen, also enjoy a good reputation in history, with the reputation of "Liusheng Three Days Dog".
Although one of them, Yagyu Shibei Sanyan, is said to have swordsmanship that surpasses Yagyu Shishusai and Yagyu Tajima Mamori, and is the strongest of the three generations, but Yagyu Tajima Mamori's reputation is greater than him.
Not only did he cultivate Yagyu Shin-Yin Ryu to the extreme, but he was also the swordsmanship teacher of the second and third generations of Tokugawa shoguns, and was deeply trusted by Tokugawa, and he was a well-known politician and military strategist in history, and he was very good at strategy.
Among the swordsmen of this era, in addition to Miyamoto Musashi, Yagyu Tajima Mamoru is the most famous.
"No matter how powerful you are, you're just an ordinary person...... It doesn't look that simple. ”
Estes also looked at the elderly swordsman who was speaking in the crowd, and a look of interest appeared on his face, "Although it is true that he is an ordinary person, my intuition tells me that the old guy is quite unusual and interesting. ”
As long as you take a look, no matter who you are, you can see that this old man is not ordinary, and the swordsman who is proficient in swordsmanship does not matter for the time being, even ordinary people can vaguely perceive the sharpness in his bones.
Anyone who can become a high-profile and one-of-a-kind person has their own unique momentum, such as emperors and generals will give people a sense of leadership, while swordsmen and other warriors will have a fighting spirit, and killers will also have a murderous spirit.
And the vague sense of sharpness that this old swordsman gives people is the sword qi that he vaguely possesses.
It is said to be "qi", but it can also be said to be "potential".
It was a momentum that faced all difficulties and obstacles, cut off all injustices and dangers, if he did it against anyone, he didn't need to draw his sword, just a look containing momentum was enough to frighten people's hearts, feel uneasy, and their fighting spirit plummeted.
Ryuxia's gaze also fell on Yagyu Taruma Mamoru.
At a glance, this old man seems to be really just an ordinary person, just flesh and blood, although he has practiced swordsmanship, but after all, he is not the opponent of a servant who is far beyond ordinary people, even if he is strong among ordinary people, he is not the opponent of a servant.
But his momentum is quite terrifying.
Although this kind of momentum suppression did not work for Ryuxia, it did not prevent him from recognizing the other party's awesomeness, and in terms of swordsmanship, this guy could definitely rank at the forefront of history.
"Shimabara Rebellion ......"
Unlike other people's concerns, Fujimaru Rika cared about the Shimabara Rebellion that the other party said just now, and her heart suddenly became clear.
"By the way, this year is indeed the second year after the end of the Shimabara Rebellion."
She seemed to come to her senses, and then glanced at Ryuxia.
Ryusha noticed her gaze and glanced back at her as well.
After the two looked at each other, they all acquiesced to their previous conjectures.
The so-called "Shimabara Rebellion" refers to the peasant uprising that took place in the Shimabara area between 1637 and 1638 against the oppression and religious persecution of the shogunate, which lasted for a total of four months.
The leader of the uprising was a 16-year-old, Catholic boy - Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who was said to have been extremely courageous and resourceful, with an army of no more than 30,000 ordinary people, he won successive battles and won many territories, so frightened that the shogunate hurriedly mobilized various feudal armies, and besieged the city with an army of 120,000 for more than two months, so that the rebel army was defeated due to lack of supplies.
In view of this, in the eyes of believers, Shiro Amakusa, who led this religious uprising, also has the title of "saint" on the island side, comparing him to famous saints in history such as George, Joan of Arc, and Marda.
The current point in time is 1639, just a year after the end of the Shimabara Rebellion, and Yagyu Tajima Mamori said that his subordinates have passed through the Shimabara Rebellion, and the time is indeed reasonable.
"But it's just a battle of 120,000 against 30,000, can a soldier who has experienced that kind of battle be considered elite? The elite of this era is really cheap. ”
If you really want to talk about the elite, the army under the command of Estes that has experienced the slaughter of foreign peoples in the south, the killing of foreign peoples in the north, and the defeat of foreign peoples in the west can be regarded as the real elite, and this kind of army that participated in the battle of 120,000 against 30,000 is at best just the level of blood.
"However, things are fine with the army...... The man is strange in his own right. ”
Ryuxia's attention was all on Yagyu Danma Mamori, who was riding on a horse below, and then turned off all the excess senses on his body and turned on his abilities.
"As far as the old man is concerned, the vitality of his body is inevitably too vigorous."
Under his watchful eye, Yagyu Danma Mamori's body is very healthy, and it is probably because of his intentional control, so the blood flow in his body, the beating of his heart, the ups and downs of his muscles, etc., are very smooth and powerful, as if he is accumulating the power to burst out and kill at any time.
However, in the case of an old man who is nearly 70 years old, his body is too healthy, his health is abnormal, and his body vitality is inexplicably very vigorous...... There is a sense of exuberance that can be resurrected even if you are hacked to death.
As if sensing his gaze, Yanagi Tajima Mamoru turned his head on his horse and looked at Ryuxia who was standing by the window on the second floor, and the sword aura in his eyes was released in an extremely oppressive manner.
Ryusha ignored the momentum, but her eyes still swirled around him.
Yagyu Danma Mamori's gaze swept over him, not even the speed of his heartbeat was rapid, and then his gaze turned to Miyamoto Musashi beside him-
"Knock knock!"
At this moment, his heart was beating noticeably faster for a moment.
And Lu Xia had already seen this change in his eyes, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
