011. Quadrennial elections
Mifune's sword is just like his people, unpretentious, serious and terrifying.
The Miyamoto family is known for its speed of knife delivery, and the Yagyu family is based on gorgeous knife skills.
But Mifune's knife is ordinary and faster than Miyamoto Xiong, and he can always get stuck at the key point of Yagyu Kazuo's shot, forcing his knife skills to be intermittent and not gorgeous at all.
In this way, the three ships fought one against two, after a few rounds.
Miyamoto withdrew and looked at Kazuo Yagyu.
He had already seen clearly just now that if he and Kazuo Yanagi fought for their lives, there was a 30% chance of winning, but only one of the three people could survive.
That person may be him Miyamoto Yu, or it may be Kazuo Yagyu, and of course seventy percent may be Mifune.
In such a situation, it is impossible for Miyamoto to fight hard, after all, he can't lose, and he can't afford to gamble.
Once it fails, the Miyamoto family will be as stormy as the Matsuda family, and Mifune, who has succeeded in ascending to the throne, should not let the Miyamoto family become the second Matsuda family.
It doesn't matter if you give the samurai order to Mifune, the Iron Country is still one of the three samurai families.
It's just that the master of the samurai order, the samurai leader, has changed from the head of the Matsuda family to Mifune.
Seeing Miyamoto retreat, Kazuo Yanagi was helpless, so he had to withdraw his knife and give up this fight.
The daimyo smiled and stood up and put the samurai order in Mifune's hands.
Mifune played with the samurai order and said to the daimyo with a somewhat mocking and weird smile, "Please go and rest for a while, I have something to say to the two family masters." ”
Well? The daimyo looked at Mifune suspiciously. What is he going to do? Still avoiding me?
Seeing that the daimyo had no intention of leaving, Bongsen stood up and stepped forward and said, "Please also ask the daimyo to go down and rest." ”
The daimyo gave Bong Xian a deep look, and then left in silence.
"Today I came to fight for the samurai order and be the leader of the samurai, not for my own selfishness, but to do something for the Iron Country." Mifune said, "So I'm not going to keep usurping the samurai order. ”
Hearing Mifune's words, Miyamoto and Yagyu Kazuo were stunned at the same time, looking at Mifune, not knowing what he meant by suddenly saying this.
Bong leaned in first, sat aside, and looked at Mifune first.
Mifune sat there and suddenly talked about his travels over the years: "When I left the Land of Iron, I took some of my samurai companions to form mercenaries, and I traveled everywhere and met many ninjas. Among the ninjas, there is a kind of ninja who listens to information, and they usually use a lot of strange ninjutsu to achieve the purpose of gathering information. ”
After saying that, Mifune pressed one hand on the katana and shot out with his raised hand.
Katana stuck in the wall.
"Ahh With a scream, the wall twisted, and a person appeared, nailed to the wall by Mifune's katana.
"But no matter how weird the ninjutsu is, if you feel it calmly, then you can always detect the tiny and inaudible chakra fluctuations." Mifune just finished speaking.
"You two, do you see?" Bongxian looked at the ninja who was nailed to the wall and smiled slightly: "We are not enemies, the daimyo of the Iron Country have begun to collude with ninjas. If it weren't for Mifune-sama today, what would you have done if you completely defeated the Matsuda family? In the end, isn't it that the samurai are getting weaker and weaker? In the end, the Iron Country is either a daimyo or a ninja. ”
Miyamoto and Yagyu didn't speak, but their faces darkened a little.
If they can change from a samurai family to a ninja family, they won't have much resistance, but unfortunately they don't have a way.
If the daimyo is allowed to attract ninjas into the Iron Country, then as the three major samurai families, they will definitely be targeted by the ninjas, instead of absorbing them.
In this case, the only way to do this is to preserve the honor of the samurai.
"I believe that the three of us, including Mifune-sama, have the same position on the matter of attracting ninjas to the Daimyo." "As samurai, we are to defend against the invasion of the Land of Iron by ninjas. In this matter, the three of us should unite closely and work together under the command of Lord Mifune to deal with our common enemy. ”
"As I said, I'm not going to take the Samurai Order all the time." Mifune said at the right time: "Four years, give me four years, when you fully cooperate with me for four years and stabilize the situation in the Iron Country, I will take out the samurai order and let you choose the next samurai leader." ”
What? Four years? Miyamoto looked at Kazuo Yanagi in disbelief, and saw a surprise in the other party's eyes.
"Yes, four years, in four years I will preside over the election of a new samurai leader." Mifune said, "I will work with you to choose a new leader who can lead the Iron Country and lead the samurai to become stronger." ”
Election, this word is still what he heard Feng say first.
Both the Miyamoto family and the Yagyu family are staring at the position of the samurai leader.
But is the biggest in the Iron Country the samurai leader? No, the biggest one is the one who can choose the leader of the samurai.
Mifune is to be that person.
According to Bongsen's plan, the position of samurai leader was elected every four years and could not be re-elected.
Four years later, the retiring samurai chieftains entered the Shogunate's Elder Corps and were enshrined in high spirits.
The form and rules of the election, as well as the scope of the election, were decided by the shogun.
He Mifune was the shogun, the one who decided who to choose as the leader of the samurai.
Of course, in order to execute it perfectly to this extent, Mifune needs to establish enough prestige in these four years.
Only when others respect him and revere him can he have enough room to operate.
Therefore, now it is necessary to say that the Miyamoto family and the Yagyu family will fully cooperate.
And the first step of cooperation is to combine the workshops of the three families into one again and take them into your own hands.
Of course, I can't say so bluntly that I fell in love with your blacksmith shop and made money.
Therefore, Feng Xian prepared a thick "Weapon Workshop Joint Development Plan", in which he introduced in detail how to comprehensively manage, unify external sales, refuse to roll in, and not engage in internal malicious competition.
Miyamoto Xiong and Yagyu Kazuo looked at Feng Xian's plan and nodded frequently, some did not understand the place to ask Feng Xian, and Feng Xian also answered one by one.
The most amazing thing is that Bongsen did not fully grasp the idea of the weapon workshop, and it mentioned that the sales staff of the Matsuda family, the Miyamoto family, and the Yagyu family were managed and trained in a unified manner.
That is, the Matsuda family did not monopolize the entire sales channel. Of course, the profit was shared afterwards, and the majority was given to a place called the shogunate.
Miyamoto took a closer look at the second half, the construction of the shogunate.
Probably this means that the money from the weapons workshop was used to support an organization called the shogunate.
The shogunate will establish a place like the ninja school to train the younger generation of samurai in a unified manner, and Mifune, who will have the strength of the shadow-level power, will personally guide him.
Four years later, after Mifune stepped down as the leader of the samurai, he would become the principal of the samurai school and train excellent young people for the Iron Country.
