Chapter 144: Muren's swan song (3)

"I see," said Muhito, "the royal family fights and has nothing to do with the samurai like us. Since the Shinsengumi are here to maintain the bloodline of the Hell Yamato Imperial Family, they should not be influenced by any organization or individual. ”

"What does the general want?" asked Tazib.

"Do not allow the newly elected group to become Matsui Ishone's private armed forces, and disturb our Yamato foundation. Muren said.

"Now that the general has made up his mind, the villain swears to follow him to the death!" said Tazi.

Tazib, a native of the Tolga clan of the "Eight Banners". The so-called "Eight Banners" is a military registration establishment, that is, all the people are soldiers, and it was founded by Emperor Taizu Heavenly Mandate. It is divided into yellow, white, red, blue, yellow, white, red and blue. Zhengbai, Zhenghuang, and inlaid yellow are the upper three flags (also known as the three flags of the inner government), which belong to the pro-army, and the remaining five flags are the lower five flags. Torjia belongs to the inlaid yellow flag, the inlaid yellow flag is one of the three flags, there is no king in the flag, by the emperor himself, for the emperor's personal soldiers, the members of the guard royal family are also selected from the upper three flags, and many members of the royal family are inlaid with yellow flags. Therefore, Tazib said that he would follow him to the death.

"That's very good," Mu Ren finished speaking, and with a flip of his claws, a dark blue ball of light emerged, slowly floating in front of Taqib, and said softly, "Taqib, this is the secret of the soul of the white bones." Today, I give it to you. ”

"General!" said Tazib, who hurriedly fell to the ground.

Soul of Bones, a wizard undead skill. Legend has it that in the pre-Qin period, there was a systematic faction of wizards. The original duty of a shaman was to preside over rituals in religious or sacrificial activities to worship or revere the gods they believed in, and to serve their own people. With the development of civilization, shamans gradually became useful in a society: in addition to priesthood, they used magic to protect their clansmen from natural disasters, outsiders, and enemies. Wizards are also responsible for correcting mistakes, weighing right and wrong, making judgments, manipulating nature, and explaining horrific and bizarre phenomena.

With the establishment of nations, empires, and religions, the mystical qualities of shamans gave them another role in society - to strengthen the influence of religion. Religion was a means of attaining transcendent abilities and satisfying basic needs, and it was a procedure that controlled the functioning of empires and societies, giving rise to hierarchies and ensuring cultural inheritance. As a result, the shaman has a new duty - responsible for maintaining good order in the empire and society. In the subsequent development, the shamanic faction, with the intervention of religious and imperial rulers, formed two factions, the official "priests" and the folk "shamans". Because of their different positions and different directions of specialization, the two factions have been fighting each other, which is a later story.

"I think I am well-bent on worrying about the country, but I come from a humble background, have no relatives and no reason, and are bullied by all sides, only forbearance can survive in this cold hell. My life is cheap, and it is not a pity to die. What is happening today can be described as God's providence. If we wait for our death, we can change something, and I don't say that it is not a good thing. Muren said.

"The general has worked hard, and his subordinates have a deep understanding. It's just that the general's gift is deserved by his subordinates. Taqi preached.

Since the Emperor of Hell, King Sanssouci ascended the throne to lead Yamato and abolished the "Eight Banners" system, the originally noble "Eight Banners" have been reduced to "untouchables" at the bottom of society, so Taqib said that he "has a deep understanding". As for why King Sanssouci abolished the "Eight Banners System" formulated by Taizu, that is a later story, and I will not press it.

"The general doesn't need to say much," Muren helped Taqi to preach, "I have no friends to help me in my life, and today I can get the general as a confidant and plot great things together. ”

"My subordinates will go back and prepare. Hearing this, Taqib accepted the secret book of the soul of the white bones.

"The general walks slowly. Muren said.

That night, Muren wrote a suicide note to Asakanomiya Zhanzi. The cover reads, "Open this letter if you want to be my wife, burn it if you don't, and go to your sister and brother-in-law." Subsequently, Muren put his stamp on the letter.
