Chapter 088. The class of the samurai
Minamisa Castle, castle town.
The bustling scene behind the city walls is still the same, people come and go, and even the air is filled with the smell of hangover.
However, during the day, the extravagance gradually subsided, and the formal business practice became more and more prosperous, and both drunken merchants and energetic merchants began to do business during the day.
Business in the castle town is the most prosperous place in the whole of Chino Province, and if you can find a collaborator here, you can make a lot of money no matter who goes on - the profits of business have been fascinating since ancient times.
The gates are now open, and you can enter the castle town by paying a very small entrance tax.
Of course.
Fleets transporting supplies are not subject to payment.
And the wild girl on the roadside, as the son of the roadside family, of course, does not need to pay.
The low-ranking samurai and ashigaru people stationed at the castle gate still knew this roadside wild girl who used to come to the castle town often, and they didn't have too much politeness or respect, but just waved their hands to open the castle gate.
After all, they are all samurai lords who have been divided into feudal areas, and now that they have received a call from Nansa Castle, they are of course qualified to enter the castle town to rest, at least they, the samurai and ashigaru people stationed at the city gate, are not qualified to stop them.
Enter the castle town and continue along the shops on both sides.
Right in the center of the castle town, there is a fortress built by Nansa Castle to garrison the army.
If there is an enemy situation, then the fortress in the center can send the troops stationed there to guard the four city gates, and even if the enemy attacks extremely fiercely, they can abandon the city gates and shrink back into the fortress.
At that time, some of the belongings can be transferred to the fortress to prevent the loss of the castle town from being too heavy.
It's something that can't be helped.
After all, this world full of monsters and all kinds of spirits is not at all less dangerous than the ninja world, and even more cruel than the ninja world in terms of ferocity and inhumanity.
At least the battles in the ninja world are all derived from human beings, no matter how ferocious they are, they will not completely cleanse the other forces, at most the apex will be cleaned up, so that the entire human race will not be slaughtered.
But in this world, if human beings are not careful, they will really be slaughtered.
It's true.
The war between humans and youkai is the main contradiction.
But that's not the only one, the war between humans and humans has also brought about a chaotic world rhythm, especially when the two are seriously injured and are taken advantage of by the monsters, that kind of painful experience is not without it.
It is also recorded in some ancient texts that powerful human daimyos, powerful human feudal lords, and even famous shoguns of a certain generation were attacked by youkai because of the weakening of human power due to war.
Millions of direct deaths, indirect impact on the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people, the whole world is like hell.
Extremely terrifying!
That's why until now, humans and monsters are not separated.
If there were no Nansa Castle as a super-military fortress as a whole, and a fortress in the castle town that was responsible for garrisoning troops and storing valuable supplies in wartime, a single war could have devastating consequences.
And now, with these two types of military facilities, as long as there is not the most terrifying and completely eliminated war, then as long as you hold on, you can leave enough seeds for recovery, and even drag until the reinforcements arrive, and turn defeat into victory!
Along the road, the roadside wild girl soon came to the central fortress of the castle town.
There are about three floors of the overall armament fortress.
Similar to the castle tower.
However, there is no political place such as a palace.
It is full of towering watchtowers and arrow towers, as well as a gate tower made of stones.
On the surface, there are about 500 people stationed in the bowshigaru, but in fact, there are more than 1,000 ashigaru people hidden in the secret, if you encounter the enemy, you can also connect to Nansa Castle in the underground passage of more than ten meters in the castle town to increase troops at all times.
After all, Nansa Castle is right next to the castle town, and the distance is not more than a kilometer.
If you are a samurai who practice archery, you are here.
You can even shoot a bow and arrow from a distance of more than 1,000 meters, and traverse the entire castle town!
The wild girl on the side of the road looked up and watched the gate of the city in front of her gradually open, and the samurai of the imperial family wearing the imperial keto pill essence armor was standing at the top of the gate gate with a sword, looking at them coldly.
And just around, more than a dozen bow warriors with war bows in their hands had equally solemn faces.
Nearby on the city walls and arrow towers.
It is hundreds of bows and feet, which can shoot a dense rain of arrows at any time.
The ninjas also put away a little contempt for this, and they were more cautious in their hearts, especially when they felt the defensive appearance of the castle center in the center of the castle town, which was loose inside and out, and they were even more admirable in their hearts.
In any case, being able to be so vigilant is enough to show the management level of this city.
"Young master of the wild girl on the side of the road?"
A junior samurai came over: "Is this a conscription?"
nodded without humility or arrogance, and at the same time bowed his head and stretched out his hand to show his respect: "Let's go into the city first!" As he spoke, he also looked at the ninjas behind him, who were only a dozen or so, and frowned slightly, "Is that all these people?"
The wild girl on the side of the road nodded: "That's right, this time I came here in a hurry, and I brought these more than ten people, maybe it can come in handy." He spoke more relaxedly, without the slightest look of trepidation.
It's just that the lower-level samurai in front of him was slightly stunned: "But the decree says... There must be at least 100 ashigaru people?" But looking at the disapproving appearance of the wild girl on the side of the road, she still sighed slightly and said, "I'll go and inform Lord Qimoto!"
The Lord Hagimoto he was talking about was naturally the commander of the castle, the Samurai Hagimoto.
A real elite separation.
Study the sword path of the Kongliu handed down by the roadside family, and the warriors of the banner are the most powerful!
The class of the samurai is divided according to the lower-level samurai, the imperial samurai, and the flag samurai, usually the lower-level samurai are regular samurai, and the nobles can become lower-level samurai as long as there is an elder or family Mengyin.
And if you are a commoner, you need to cultivate the power of debut in order to become a low-level samurai.
Samurai of the Imperial Family.
It is to cultivate the power of the Dao to reach the level of 'master'.
For example, a kendo master who cultivates kendo, or a kyudo master who cultivates kyudo, or a knedo master who cultivates knedo, can become a samurai of the imperial family, and it can be said that he can be invincible with the power of one enemy and a hundred, and the power of the whole body is invincible!
As for the Samurai of Flagoto, it is a proud existence.
Jianhao.
Gong Hao.
Gun Hao.
With one enemy and a thousand, there is spare strength!
As for the higher samurai class, or the 'attendants' who have transcended the samurai class, it is those who are the great swordsmen, the great bowsmen, and the great spearmen, who are solely responsible for the safety of the daimyo or feudal lords.
Their number is scarce, and there is no single hand in the entire feudal country, and even the feudal lord must be courteous when encountered.
As for the higher ones, they were completely out of the samurai class.
Rather, the generals.
Those can only be held by the absolutely strong who have become sanctified.
For example, Juggernauts, Bows, Spears.
But these.
It's all recorded in the classics, and no one has ever seen the real situation.
Even in the impression of the wild girl on the side of the road, there is no real sword saint or the like in the entire Qianye Country, and there are not even those attendants who serve as great swordsmen, only more than forty loyal Qiben samurai come to take charge.
The samurai of the flag in the town town in front of him is one of them.
……
……
This low-ranking samurai was introduced into the castle, how can it be said that since he was recruited by Nansa Castle and came to the castle town, he had to stay for the time being before the conquest began, how could he do it without a place to live?
You must know that the issuance of the conscription order is at least a few lords or dozens of lords.
At the very least, there were thousands of troops gathered.
Lodging.
Of course, you have to keep up!
Soon, the ashigaru who served came over and gave them a futon and a change of shoes and socks.
Then he led him to a certain courtyard, saying that it was a courtyard, but in fact it was the corner of the cloister on the second floor, close to a stone tower built of arrows, the environment was relatively simple, and it was indeed just a temporary accommodation in general.
Perhaps before that, this annex was still a warehouse.
Don't ask the wild girls on the side of the road how they know.
Look at the corners.
There were also a lot of discarded wooden chests and dry straw, as well as fragments of weapons and equipment that had no repair value after being damaged and had not been cleaned in time, and even the entire room of the annex was covered with dust.
When they came to the courtyard, even the lower-level warrior who led the way looked a little embarrassed: "Young master of the wild girl on the side of the road, this is your accommodation, a little... Blemish... Why don't you send someone to clean it up yourself?" Saying that, he also seemed to have something unspeakable: "I have other things, so I will retire for the time being, and I will retire... Don't blame you..."
After speaking, he saluted respectfully, then quickly retreated, disappearing outside the courtyard, and even the few attendant-like ashigaru people put down the bedding in their hands and the replacement of shoes and socks, and quickly left.
No matter how you look at it, it's a little... What does it mean to slip away?
Just beside him, the special ninjas of the two families frowned: "What do you mean?"
They really saw this, and when they came to the castle town, they felt as if everyone was looking at them with colored glasses or some barrier, and even treated them as if they were hiding something.
Although some people are dissatisfied with this, they are also forced to speak out under any pressure, and it is difficult to even take the most basic care, so they can only mention a few words if they don't have them, and quickly slip away for fear of extraneous branches.
Of course, the wild girl on the side of the road also understood the situation: "Okay, let's tidy up the room first." He spoke slowly: "It's almost evening, I'll go to Joshita Town tonight to apply for admission to Nansa Castle, and when the time comes... I asked my grandfather how it was arranged. "That sect master of the roadside family, you can't talk without words, right?
The surrounding 4 middle ninjas and 5 lower ninjas nodded, and without saying anything, they all picked up brooms and dustpans and began to clean up the room, and it seems that they will live here for the next few days, how can they not be clean?
Evening came quickly, and in the castle of the castle town, the roadside wild girl and others also settled down.
Momently.
The wild girl on the side of the road walked out of the room.
Just outside the courtyard, a group of ten ashigaru people were standing there with swords in hand, as if they were on guard, but in his opinion, it seemed to be a suspect under house arrest, and he was really frowning.
Just as he was about to speak, in the arrow tower next to him, the junior warrior from before hurriedly walked out with a sneering face: "Young master of the wild girl on the side of the road, where are you going?" He said in a slightly lower tone: "It is forbidden to walk freely in the castle town, if you have something to go out... It's best to get permission after reporting...", he pointed to the top: "Our Qiben Lord is at the top of the arrow tower, why don't you go now... Apply?"
The wild girl on the side of the road chuckled: "I want to apply too?" He looked at this low-level warrior with a somewhat panicked appearance, glanced at the top of the arrow tower next to him, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll apply!"
PS: I had relatives come at noon today, and I went to my relatives' house in the evening, I didn't expect it either...
