In the days that followed, Saburo Tanashita saw many things he had never thought of before, soft satin, delicate porcelain... These had limited allure to Saburo Tanoshita, but what really shocked him was the countless grains.

In a huge warehouse, a large amount of grain was neatly stacked, and at this time, the man on the side walked in again in a black robe...

Said slowly to Saburo Tanoshita, "You know what? The grain in this one warehouse can't be exchanged for this thin pile of Japanese banknotes in my hand, and the shogunate is harvesting everyone's wealth in a way that no one is aware of! ”

Saburo Tanashita nodded, he approved...

After all, the smell of grain on his face is not deceiving, and the paper money in the man's hand has been seen once in the neighbor's house.

His father had to work in the fields for a whole year, and he could barely meet it without paying rent, feudal taxes, and shogunate taxes.

And the pile of banknotes in the hand of the man next to him was a huge fortune that Saburo Tanshita had never seen.

There are many teenagers like him, and after following the uncle in front of him to a valley on the island of Kyushu, they are indulging in the practice of kendo here every day.

In addition, he also allowed everyone to write letters to his family, and he would send someone to take them out, and each time he would attach a brand new Japanese banknote, this powerful impact made Saburo Tanashita feel that he should wait under the command of this man in front of him for the rest of his life!

Be a samurai! There's nothing bad about it...

Within a short period of time, Saburo Tanashita was appointed squad leader for his bravery and excellence in training, a position that meant he could put two bills in every letter sent back home.

"Hey! Ha! Hey! Ha! ”

Months have passed, and the summer season has finally arrived... The climate on the island of Kyushu is pleasant, and rice grows in the fields in the summer.

Saburo Tanashita's body is getting stronger and stronger, and his original handsome appearance... Now it is best described as tough.

The man in black is here again...

When will we know... What kind of face does he have? ...

Just when Saburo Tanashita was thinking nonsense, he only heard the other party speak slowly.

"San Lang!"

"Hey! Uncle, I'm here! ”

Saburo Tanashita hurriedly answered.

"Saburo! Do you remember what I told you that I could make a good life for your family, and even for all the people in the village? ”

"Uncle! From the first day I came here, I never forgot it! ”

"Well... Now that the time is ripe, the islands of Kyushu, Shikoku, including the main island, are about to begin our uprising... Do you have the courage to become a true samurai? ”

The man's words were very infectious, and Saburo Tanashita hurriedly said without the slightest hesitation: "Uncle, I can give my life at any time to achieve this goal!" ”

"There are more than 800 samurai in this stronghold, and I have handed over all of them here... Ten days later, in the early hours of the morning, when our uprising begins, you must take all your men to storm the nearest feudal city! ”

"It's... Uncle, I see! It's just that we're so a little bit of people.... Can it really be? ”

The black-robed man rarely took off the black scarf he was wearing on his head, slowly looked at Saburo Tanashita and said, "Nothing in this world is impossible... As long as you want to do it, you can do it.. And there will be a lot of people who will help you! ”

"Hey! Be! Uncle, I see! ”

After such a long period of training, Saburo Tanashita himself felt that he had become a qualified samurai and naturally had a responsibility to take on more things.

Back in the valley, look at the friends you used to train with.

Saburo Tanashita slowly spoke, "Tomorrow... It will be time for us samurai to prove ourselves, and we will attack the nearest Hibara Domain! The lords will hurt us with their soldiers, with their swords.... Are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid! Saburo, didn't you tell us before? Remember how good others are to you, after all, no one will give us food for nothing, let alone a period of time here... My family relied on my allowance to build a brand new wooden house, which was unimaginable before. ”

A boy stood up, young but resolute and resolute on his face.

Most of the young people who can be collected here by men come from poor families in the countryside of Kyushu Island, and there are often several children in the family...

The food grown in the fields is no longer enough for the family to raise so many children, so they can only be allowed to roam the countryside and small towns early, and even ask them to find ways to supplement their families.

As for breaking into what?

Generally speaking, either they go to work as servants or slaves to wealthy families, or many clever children choose to steal from others.

But no matter what, life can be said to be indescribably hard.

Where will it be like now, there are endless meals every day, and the family will receive the paper money sent back by themselves every once in a while, which can feed the whole family.

For these teenagers, it is already a great honor!

Saburo Tanashita nodded and said, "If tomorrow, someone needs our lives, then we will definitely go to him!" Because he will guide us further into the future! ”

"Towards the future..."

On this night, all the teenagers were given a bowl of special rice wine from the next village, and the mellow and sweet aroma of the wine surrounded their mouths.

Quite a few people were drunk.

Saburo Tanashita sat on a boulder at the mouth of the valley in the moonlight, with a little melancholy and sadness on his expression.

But not long after, a girl jumped over and shouted at Saburo Tanashita, "Saburo! I hear you're about to do something big! Be sure to stay safe! ”

Finally waited for Nanako, Saburo was a little excited, blushing and pushing his neck and said, "I'm a boy!" Naturally, I want to do something big! You're here waiting for us to come back! ”

Such a scene may be the warmth of a teenager.

But it didn't take long... Tokugawa Iemitsu received a message that made his jaw drop!

Wa Kingdom.. Peasants, are in revolt!

The island of Kyushu has fallen, and a large number of feudal castles on the island of Honshu have been captured almost overnight... A large number of peasant rebels are constantly attacking Edo!
