The Ming military camp near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, Japan, was exercising, and a middle-aged man covered with weeds and mud forcibly broke through despite the obstruction of the guards at the door.

"Stop!"

"This is the Ming military camp, and idle people are not allowed to enter!"

"I'm Kyoto Gongjia Sanjo Mino, and I have an urgent matter to ask to see Lord Wei Mingwei!"

"Lord Wei......"

The soldier guarding the door heard the other party accurately call out Lord Wei's name, and his attitude was only then relaxed.

"Then you also stop first, wait for me to go in and make a report, and see if Lord Wei is willing to see you!"

"Okay, good, I'll wait for ......"

Wei Ming has been in Japan for a while, and he not only took over the command of the 1,000 soldiers from his predecessor, but also inherited the intelligence personnel trained by the previous special envoys.

At this time, he was writing an official document from His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and passed on what he had seen and heard in Japan in detail.

"Lord Wei, there are people outside the door who claim to be Sanjo Shino and ask to see you!"

"Minori Sanjo?"

"What kind of public ...... does he call himself?"

"Public!"

Wei Ming had learned about Japanese culture before coming to Japan, and knew that the so-called public family was somewhat similar to the noble family of the Ming Dynasty, which was a family that had been officials and eunuchs for generations.

Although he didn't know what level the Sanjo family was, since he dared to call himself a public family, he should have a hereditary position that belonged to his family.

"Bring him in!"

"No!"

After a short time, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate entered Wei Ming's reception room with Sanjo Shino.

"Lord Wei, help!"

Seeing this, Wei Ming hurriedly stepped forward and helped Sanjo Shino up.

"What's wrong, but something is wrong?"

"Lord Wei, there are Diao people who trick the people into storming the palace, saying that they want to call on His Majesty the Emperor to expel the Ming people and recover the Iwami Silver Mine!"

When Wei Ming heard the words "Imperial Palace" and "Emperor", he was already displeased in his heart, and his face turned blue when he heard that the Japanese were going to drive away the people of the Ming Dynasty and take back the Iwami Silver Mine.

"How can it be!"

"Iwami Silver Mine is the land of my Ming Dynasty, what qualifications do you Japan have to take it back!"

"As for the expulsion of the Ming people, it is even more nonsense!"

"I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed the ocean to your country, not only brought you good products at low prices, but also taught you the official language of the Ming Dynasty for free, taught you to read and write, is this how you repay your benefactor!"

Sanjo Minoru heard this, and a cold sweat trickled down.

"Your Excellency!"

"The villain is very grateful for the kindness of Daming, and the sons of the villain have been sent to Daming to study, which is enough to prove the villain's loyalty to Daming, right?"

"However, the Diao people in their country don't understand, they don't know where they heard the rumors, saying that the Ming Dynasty mined the Iwami silver mine and dug up the dragon veins of their country, so that they couldn't give birth to a son......"

Wei Ming sneered when he heard this.

"Funny!"

"You also have a dragon vein in Japan?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I have dragon veins and other things in Japan, they are all funny words of the people of the countryside!"

"My lord, now those people have gathered at the gate of the palace, asking your lord to send troops to eradicate them!"

"Oh......"

Wei Ming's eyes rolled wildly when he heard this.

Although his status in Japan can be called the emperor, whether it is the Japanese emperor or the shogun, he has to be a courtier when he sees him.

But for a two-rank jinshi like him, coming to Japan as a special envoy is already exile.

Therefore, he has been holding back his strength to make meritorious contributions, and then returned to Daming through meritorious service and competed with the elites of Daming in the political arena.

"It's a tough deal!"

"According to the decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, our special envoy cannot interfere in the internal affairs of other countries at will......"

Sanjo Shino thought that Wei Ming didn't want to help, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Please ask your lord for help, as long as the situation is settled, our Kyoto family is willing to give 10,000 taels of gold to reward your lord's army!"

"Ten thousand taels?"

Wei Ming's eyes turned red when he heard this, he worked hard for a year, and his income was less than three thousand taels of silver.

This is because Japan is located overseas, and the imperial court gave an additional overseas subsidy of 1,000 taels of silver.

Now the Japanese public class is 10,000 taels of gold as soon as they open their mouths, catching up with him for 20 years!

"Since you are so enthusiastic, then this official will reluctantly help you once."

"But don't make an example, next time such an incident happens, you will find a way to suppress it yourself!"

"No!"

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, when His Majesty the Emperor returns, we will naturally have the ability to quell the chaos!"

Wei Ming looked at the face of 10,000 taels of gold, and ignored the arrogance of the three real fields.

However, he was opposed to the return of His Majesty the Emperor.

In fact, there has been a discussion in the court about whether or not to release the emperor of Japan, some people suggest that he be released, and some people suggest that the emperor be blackmailed to order the princes.

Wei Ming also opposed the suggestion before coming to Japan, but after coming to Japan and learning about the customs of Japan, Wei Ming suddenly felt that it was more suitable to release the emperor back.

Because there was no emperor in Japan, the daimyo and guardians in each region had their own affairs, and it was difficult to organize.

Under the nominal guise of the emperor, even if they make a fuss, they are relatively restrained, so as not to go too far.

For example, if the emperor is there today, and the emperor can suppress it by virtue of his personal prestige, or other armies, where will it be his turn to do it himself?

After Wei Ming reached an agreement with Sanjo Shino, he immediately rushed to the palace with a thousand soldiers.

Jiuga Laitong, who was confronting Huashan Temple at the gate of the palace, suddenly saw the Ming soldiers who appeared behind him, and his face turned white with fright.

"Huashan Temple, you are so ruthless, you actually colluded with the Ming people to bully me!"

When Huashan Temple saw that the backer was coming, his courage suddenly became a little stronger.

"We are all good citizens under the Ming Dynasty, how can we collude!"

"On the contrary, it's you, as a member of the public family, you don't want to serve the Ming Dynasty, and you don't want to serve His Majesty the Emperor, inciting the people and wanting to rebel, it's really a big rebellion!"

"Come on, cooperate with the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow and take down this gang of traitors!"

"Yes!"

The guards of the palace ran out of the palace one after another, armed with spears and bows and arrows, and pointed at the samurai who came to attack.

After a long time, when I saw this posture, I secretly said in my heart that I was going to suffer.

But he was already riding a tiger at this time, and even if he wanted to, he had nowhere to run.

Therefore, he can only command the samurai behind him head-on, regardless of whether he dies or not, he will pull a few cushions on his back first!

"Samurai!"

"The time has come for us to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Rush with me and kill these lackeys who sell their country for glory!"

Kuga Yoritsu held a katana and rushed towards the palace gate.

The group of samurai behind him hesitated slightly, and also felt that it was a soft persimmon in this direction, so they rushed over with him.

Although the palace guards have an advantage in numbers, most of the palace guards are public, and they only enter the palace to receive money and food, and they will not fight at all.

On the contrary, the group of ronin samurai organized by Kuga Laitong on the street are all top battle array masters, and they can kill the palace guards in just one round.

However, just as they were about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, a burst of fire suddenly sounded behind them.

"Bang...... Bang bang bang...... Bang bang ......"

After a burst of fire, the samurai fell in large pieces.

Before they died, they couldn't believe that they would be killed by the Ming people from behind by the Ming people who killed the enemy so bravely......

"The Ming people don't talk about martial arts ......"

"Don't talk about it...... Wu De ......"

Although the accusations on the battlefield continued, Wei Ming still did not show mercy and continued to give orders with a gloomy face.

"Put!"

"Kill all the mobs!"

"No!"

Another round of fire rang out, and another group of samurai fell.

At this moment, I Lai Tong no longer charged, but looked at the Ming army formation blankly.

"The Ming people don't talk about martial arts!"

"The Ming people sneak attack from behind!"

"Da Ming people should die!"

"If my generation dies, I will die, but I must not let the Ming Dynasty die ......"

Just when I was about to kill myself, a riot suddenly broke out in the rear of the Ming army array, and a group of cattle came out of nowhere, frantically crashing into the Ming army array, and the Ming fire array was shattered.

Seeing this scene for a long time, Lai Tong immediately decided to kill dozens of people, fought a bloody way from the corner of the Ming army, and then ran into the alleys of Kyoto City.

Wei Ming was just a civil official, where had he seen such a battle, he was so frightened that he hid in the carriage on the spot. When he found out that it was a herd of ploughing cattle that were charging into battle, he was immediately furious and ordered his soldiers to shoot all the ploughing oxen that had gone mad.

After inspecting the body of the mad cow, Wei Ming realized that it turned out that the tail of the mad cow was set on fire by someone, and the ploughing cow ran wildly in pain, so he risked his life to attack his own army.

"Damn it!"

"Blockade Kyoto City, be sure to catch the cattle arranger out and break the corpse into thousands of pieces!"

"No!"

With Wei Ming's order, several groups of soldiers immediately broke away from the military formation and went to various city gates in Kyoto to blockade them.

Wei Ming led the rest of the people to clean up the battlefield, and everything that could still move was mended.

After eliminating all the mobs, Wei Ming led his army into the palace and sat on the throne of His Majesty the Emperor to give orders.

"Sanjo Shino, you quickly lead the defense soldiers of the capital, search from house to house, and be sure to arrest all the mobs today!"

"Lord Wei, the villain's official position is not enough, this is the position of the minister, and the villain can't do this errand because he is sparse and shallow......"

Wei Ming roared when he heard this.

"Shut up!"

"This official doesn't care about your samurai and public families in Japan, this official will appoint you as the minister of the Taizheng now, and let you preside over the defense of Kyoto!"

Sanjo Minoru was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Villain, thank you!"

"The villain is full of liver and brains, and he also wants to repay the kindness of the adult!"

Wei Ming immediately drafted the appointment documents, stamped his official seal, and sent an army of ten people to Sanjo Shino to protect him.

With Wei Ming's official printing and the protection of the Ming soldiers, Sanjo Minino's affairs were handled very quickly, and it only took an hour to take over the defense of Kyoto City, and dispatched soldiers to search the whole city.

On the other side, Jiu I Lai Tong drilled in the alley for a while, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man beckoning to him, and he ran over without thinking about it.

"You're just a long-time laitong, aren't you?"

"You know me?"

"Not really, but the fire bull formation just now was arranged below."

After a long time, Lai Tong knelt down on the spot when he heard this.

"Lai Tong thanked Your Excellency for saving your life!"

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this.

"This is not the place for Shane, you get in the car quickly, I'll take you to a safe place!"

"Thank you!"

Jiu I Lai Tong followed the middle-aged man into the carriage, and when he saw the carriage driving out of the city and heading in the direction of the Ming military camp, his face turned pale with fright.

"Benefactor, you're not going to sell me to Daming, are you?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly when he heard this.

"How so?"

"I'm just staying overnight at Kiyomizu Temple, and I want to take you to Kiyomizu Temple to avoid the limelight."

"Kiyomizudera ......"

I thought for a long time.

"It's dark under the lights, and the most dangerous place is the safest place......

"Clever!"

"Who would have thought that the thieves who opposed the Ming Dynasty would actually live in the Qingshui Temple, which is only one wall away from the Ming military camp?"

After a long time, Lai Tong laughed when he heard this.

"The benefactor is really Zhuge reincarnated, he can think of such a subtle method!"

"Dare to ask the benefactor's name, if Lai Tong escaped this catastrophe, he will definitely thank the benefactor for saving his life!"

"Yoshihiro in Shimouchi!"

"You are Nagato Guardian Yoshihiro Ouchi!"

"It's down there!"

Yoritsu has heard of Yoshihiro Ouchi's name for a long time, and it can be said that Yoshihiro Ouchi is the most loyal to the emperor among the guardian daimyo in the southwest.

It's just that the Nagato generation is remote, and even if Yoshihiro Ouchi has the heart to assist the emperor, he can't do it.

"I didn't expect it to be Yoshihiro Ouchi, who is known for his loyalty, who saved him!"

"His Excellency Yoshihiro Ouchi is above, please accept Lai Tong's worship!"

Yoshihiro Ouchi hurriedly held him up and smiled kindly.

"Your Excellency Lai Tong is a public family, and he is of noble birth, how can he be compared to a country man like me!"

"I am fortunate to be able to save Your Excellency, it is the honor of my Ouchi clan!"

The two went to Kiyomizu-dera Temple after a brief exchange of pleasantries, and in order to prevent anyone from recognizing Kuga Yoritsu, Ouchi Yoshihiro also suggested that he shave his hair and pretend to be a monk he had brought from Nagato.

At first, I didn't want to shave my hair for a long time, and I didn't want to shave my body. But when he heard that the Ming army was going back to the camp, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shaved his hair.

That night, General Daming led people to search the door, and saw that the temple was full of monks, and he didn't find the person he wanted, so he left in a huff.

Kuga Yoritsu, who successfully escaped, trusted Yoshihiro Ouchi even more, and bluntly said that the other party saved his life twice.

"My lord, thank you for your kindness, my life will be yours from now on!"

Yoshihiro Ouchi enthusiastically helped Kuga Yoritsu up, and then asked amiably.

"Your Excellency Lai Tong, you shouldn't be alone, right?"

After hearing this, Yoshihiro Ouchi looked at Yoshihiro Ouchi vigilantly.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Don't be nervous, I also dislike the Ming Dynasty, I want to serve His Majesty the Emperor, I only hate to serve the country and have no way."

"If Your Excellency Lai Tong does not give up, I am willing to work with you to support His Majesty the Emperor!"

"This ......"

For a long time, Lai Tong was slightly entangled.

"It's not that villains don't trust adults, it's that there are rules in the Ming Society, and everyone must agree to accept newcomers!"

"If the adults are not in a hurry, after this burst of limelight, I will convene a meeting of all the people of the Xuming Society to discuss the next ......."

"Good, good!"

"If this can be done, the Nagato generation will be the base of your society!"
