"Shimazu Tencho!"

A roar with anger sounded in the Ergouzi battalion, which was packing up equipment and preparing to set off with the Ming army.

The little widow who packed his luggage looked up at Shimazu Hisatoyo who was walking quickly, and there was no previous respect in his eyes, but he glanced at it lightly, and continued to bow his head to pack his things.

Looking at the few poor people in the camp, Shimazu Hisahiro was furious.

His task was to go to various parts of Kyushu Island to collect grain and grass for the Ming army.

When he came back this morning, he was overjoyed to hear that he had won a great victory.

Thinking about the samurai of the family, as the main force of the charge, he must have made a lot of contributions.

But before he could be happy, a bad news reached his ears.

The samurai of the family made a lot of contributions, but because they were at the forefront of the battle, they suffered heavy casualties.

Later, because he retreated without receiving an order, he was not only killed by the warlords, but also canceled the merits of his highness.

This made Shimazu Jiufeng angry in his heart, it's just that the person is dead, there are still so many gourds on the territory, just go and recruit if there is no more.

finally got the credit, but because of the cowardice of these fools, it was canceled by Daming.

Damn, he was a dog for Daming, and in order to raise military rations for Daming, he gave all the villages under his name to Huohuo.

What is the purpose of doing all this, isn't it just to make more contributions, so that when Da Ming chooses the puppet family in the future, he will get more opportunities.

But the opportunity to come so hard is gone.

Even because of the unauthorized retreat of the troops, it left a bad impression on Daming.

Damn, without all of that credit, it's going to make him compete for that position in the future.

Daming's impression of him plummeted, and how did he become the first dog in the whole gourd in the future.

He couldn't suppress his anger, and after the handover with Daming's side was completed, he came to the Ergouzi camp angrily, intending to ask Shimazu Tianchang, who led the team, for an explanation.

In yesterday's battle, Shimazu Tencho was also wounded, but fortunately he was experienced, and in the most thrilling moment, he escaped mortal danger, leaving only a long wound in his arm.

After the doctor's examination and treatment, there is no problem now.

Hearing the roar of Shimazu Hisatoyo outside, Shimazu Tencho glanced at the katana next to him and was silent for a long time before retracting his gaze.

"Whoa!"

The tent curtain was violently lifted, and Shimazu Hisatoyo, whose eyes were sprayed with anger, strode in, staring at Shimazu Tiancho.

"Head of the house!"

Shimazu nodded calmly, even if it was a greeting.

"Yaga!" Shimazu Hisatoyo, who was already on fire, was even more angry when he was stimulated by the other party.

Kicking away a basin of water next to him, Shimazu Hisatoyo glared at Shimazu Tencho with an expression of eagerness to eat people: "Shouldn't you say something?" ”

"Say what?" Raising his eyelids, Shimazu Tiancho said calmly: "Everything that should have happened has already happened, can I explain that you believe it, and it will calm your anger?" ”

"Eight Ga Ya Road!"

Shimazu Hisatoyo, who was further stimulated, couldn't hold back anymore, picked up a stick next to him and rushed over.

He swore that he was going to clean up this guy who despised him.

"Boom!"

Seeing that the other party made a move, Shimazu Tiancho's eyes narrowed, and he reached out and picked up the unsheathed katana next to him, blocking the opponent's attack.

"Shimazu Jiufeng, I'll give you face, call the head of the family, don't give face and shame."

Shimazu Jiufeng sneered when he heard this, "You still know that I am the head of the family, so what you do is like what a retainer should do." ”

"Yaga, Shimazu Hisatoyo!"

The word retainer suddenly stimulated Shimazu Tencho.

Although his surname was Shimazu, he was never considered his own by the people of the family, because his mother was a serf, the product of his damned father's drunkenness.

It is precisely because of his mother's humble status that as soon as he was born, he only got the surname Shimazu, and did not get other rights.

Fortunately, the father wanted to save face and did not drive him out of the family, leaving him in the family as a retainer.

Everything he has now is what he has earned through hard work.

But he was not satisfied.

Because everything in the Shimazu family should have belonged to him.

"Shimazu Hisatoyo!"

Shimazu Tencho's calm face finally showed anger.

He glared angrily, stared at Shimazu Hisahiro viciously, and said angrily: "I can't beat Akito, can't I clean you up, today I will let you know who is the hope of the Shimazu family!" ”

After roaring, Shimazu Tianchang no longer showed mercy, and the unsheathed katana in his hand was a crazy output towards Shimazu Hisatoyo.

The samurai outside the door heard the roar and the sound of ping-pong fighting inside, and none of them went in to watch.

To be honest, they have become numb to the Shimazu family.

If it weren't for the lack of chance, they would have chosen to leave a long time ago.

"The two of you are quite interesting, and they are even more martial arts."

Just when the two of them were bruised and swollen, a ridicule sounded at the door.

The two of them, who were getting more and more angry, heard this ridicule, not only did they not get angry, but instantly calmed down.

Because the other party is speaking the official language of the Ming Dynasty, the identity is naturally self-evident.

Kicking each other, the two withdrew their hands and looked at the person who spoke.

"It turned out to be Zuo Jun, did His Highness have any orders?"

When the two of them saw it, it turned out to be the personal guard of His Royal Highness King Yue, Zuo Jun, and hurriedly stepped forward respectfully and bowed slightly.

Although they are Japanese people, they also know how strong the wind is in their ears.

If they offend the person in front of them, and the other party says a few bad things about them in front of His Highness, then no matter how hard they try, it will be useless.

Zuo Jun nodded.

In fact, he came a long time ago, but he just saw that the two were fighting passionately, and he couldn't bear to disturb him.

"Your Highness has summoned you, come with me."

When the two heard that it was really the more they summoned His Highness, they glanced at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward and followed behind the left army.

Not far from the tent, a touch of pain flashed on Shimazu Hisatoyo's face, and he took out a piece of jade pendant and stuffed it into the hands of Zuo Jun.

"Zuo Jun, you have worked hard by His Royal Highness's side, and your little meaning is not respectful!"

Zuo Jun glanced at a piece of jade pendant in very good condition, smiled with satisfaction, and stuffed it into his arms.

"As a subordinate, I naturally have to serve His Highness well, and the master of the Shimazu family is polite."

Shimazu Jiufeng smiled humbly, looked at Shimazu Tianchang, who was a little annoyed, secretly smiled proudly, and asked in a low voice: "I don't know if His Highness asked me to wait this time, what instructions do you have, and please ask Zuo Jun to mention something." ”

Stopping, Zuo Jun glanced at him meaningfully, and said with a smile in his worried expression: "I can't say anything else, but I can tell you, it's definitely a good thing, a big good thing!" ”

Shimazu Hisatoyo, who was originally disappointed when he heard that the other party couldn't say it, heard the content behind it, and a smile appeared on his face that I understood.

At the same time, I was secretly relieved that things were not given away in vain.

The group of three people soon came to the tent of the Chinese army, and the left army asked the two to wait and walked into the tent alone.

"Are the two of them coming?"

Zhu Gaoyu, who was discussing the mining plan with Xia Yuanji, saw Zuo Jun come in and asked.

"I'm here, I'm already waiting outside the door, when I went just now, the two of them were fighting, and seeing that they were playing happily, I couldn't bear to disturb it, so I waited for a while."

"Hehe..."

Zhu Gaoyu and Xia Yuanji couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

took out the jade pendant from his bosom and put it on the table, Zuo Junyu reported: "This is the jade pendant he bribed me with, and he planned to ask something from me, but I didn't tell him, I just said it was a good thing." ”

"You said that when people give things, we can't let people spend money in vain, even if we can't explain it, we have to make people feel good."

picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, Zhu Gaoyu praised: "It's a good jade, and I'm very willing to spend it." ”

After speaking, he casually threw it back to Zuo Jun: "Take it back to your daughter-in-law, it's been out for so long, if you don't bring some gifts when you go back, your daughter-in-law should be angry again." ”

Zhang Yue's cousin is a small person, and she loves to get angry at every turn.

That is, the left army has a good temper, and if he is replaced by Zhu Gaoyu, he will be beaten eight times a day.

Men are working hard outside, you are a woman's family, you don't do anything at home, enjoy it every day, how can you have so much energy.

"Your Highness!"

Zuo Jun did not refuse, and accepted it happily.

The two are both superiors and subordinates, and they are cousins, so some things don't need to be so angry.

"These two people are good at the moment, and I'm going to let them cooperate with you in mining Iwami Silver Mine."

Zhu Gaoyu explained to Xia Yuanji on the side the reason for calling these two people.

"Can you rely on it?"

As soon as he heard that these two people might be his assistants in the future, Xia Yuanji frowned.

A person who can betray even a country and race, Xia Yuanji doesn't think that this kind of person has any loyalty at all.

The Iwami Silver Mine is related to the finances of the Ming Dynasty in the next hundred years, and Xia Yuanji does not allow any accidents.

"You don't understand them." Zhu Gaoyu explained with a smile: "Their race has a beast-like mentality, and in the face of a race that is suppressed by powerful force, there will be a kind of worship from the bones. ”

"Our actions since we came to the Wa Kingdom have been carved in their bones, the mark of the Ming Dynasty is not easy to mess with, the bloodshed last night, the pile of corpses in the strait, and the rope noose that tamed them."

"As long as I am strong for one day, or as long as I am alive, they will not dare to think about anything, you can use it with confidence, it is definitely better than the group of officials under you."

Xia Yuanji hesitated, although he felt that Zhu Gaoyu was a little exaggerated, but in the future, there would be so many miners from the Wa Kingdom, and if there was no help from people who understood the Wa Kingdom, it would be really difficult to do things.

"Okay, the minister will use it for the time being, and if there is a problem, the minister will let you change it."

"Let the two of them in!" Zhu Gaoyu bowed his head and asked the left army to call the two in.

The two who were waiting anxiously at the door heard the call and hurriedly walked in.

He didn't dare to raise his head, and as soon as he entered the tent, he bowed and bowed.

"Shimazu Jiufeng, Shimazu Tianchang, meet His Royal Highness King Yue, His Royal Highness Wanfu Jin'an!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Gaoyu's voice sounded in the ears of the two, and the gentle tone made it impossible for the two of them to connect the ghost-like figures of yesterday together.

Looking at the cautious two, Zhu Gaoyu pointed to Xia Yuanji, who was sitting next to him: "This is the Hubu Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty, my God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Hearing the title of God of Wealth, the corners of Xia Yuanji's mouth twitched.

No matter how big the God of Wealth is, he can't stand a loser like you.

"Meet Shangshu-sama!"

When the two of them heard that the stinky old man next to them turned out to be the Shangshu of the Ming Household Department, they hurriedly bowed 90 degrees.

According to their understanding of the Ming Dynasty, the Hubu Shangshu is one of the top bigwigs in the Ming court, only under the officials.

The influence of the old man in front of him is a top-notch existence in Daming, and the two of them dare not have any rudeness.

If it weren't for Zhu Gaoyu beside him, both of them would have knelt down and saluted.

"Hmm."

Don't look at Lao Xia on weekdays, in front of the old man and Zhu Gaoyu, he looks like a puffed bag, but in fact, it is only for the two of them.

In the eyes of others, Lao Xia is very cold, and most people are too lazy to take care of it.

If one day you see him talking to others, losing his coldness and talking a lot, it must be that the other party came to the household to ask for money, and Lao Xia is scolding his mother.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, he dared to ask the household department for money, and he was never scolded, that is, the family surnamed Zhu.

Others, including Hubu Shangshu, have all been sprayed by Lao Xia.

Xia Yuanji just said a simple "um", and then stopped talking, making the two who were ready to be polite embarrassed in place.

"Knock knock!"

Zhu Gaoyu raised his hand and knocked on the table, and the two hurriedly turned around and waited quietly.

Zhu Gaoyu opened his mouth and said to the two: "I have seen the performance of the two of you during this time, although in yesterday's battle, I felt a little disappointed, but the overall is okay." ”

"Your Majesty is ashamed of His Highness's favor, please punish His Highness."

The two of them hurriedly knelt on the ground again, their faces full of remorse and panic.

"Forget it." Knocking on the table again, Zhu Gaoyu said slowly: "Although your performance is a little unsatisfactory, I can also see that you have done your best." ”

"The subordinates are terrified!"

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and hurriedly kowtowed again.

Zhu Gaoyu nodded, let the two of them get up, and continued what he said just now: "I will be rewarded for my merits, and I will be punished for my mistakes." ”

"Yesterday's mistakes have been duly punished, and other meritorious rewards should also be given to you."

The two of them stood with their heads bowed, and their hearts were excited.

After being a dog for so long and waging his tail for so long, the owner is finally going to give the bone.

"In view of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom and the power of the shogunate, not only did he disrespect my Ming Dynasty, but also harmed my Ming Sage. As punishment, after the war, the two of them will be canceled. ”

The hearts of the two of them were even more excited, and the words were finally coming.

"But the province is so big, and it can't be ignored, after careful consideration by His Majesty, it was decided to divide the province with Kyoto as the boundary, and divide two administrative areas, namely the upper Japanese district and the lower slave district!"

"As the Shimazu family who first took refuge in me, I suggest to my father that your Shimazu family be responsible for managing the Shinano District and become the administrative family here."

"As for who will be the administrator, I won't ask, it's up to your family to decide."

"The only thing I ask is two words, loyalty!"

"What I can give you can also be taken back, and you must also understand that in the future, there will be countless people who will spy on your family's position."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, that the Shimazu family will be loyal to you for generations to come."

The excited two knelt on the ground and swore to the sky.

Xia Yuanji, who was on the side, raised his eyelids when he heard the words of the two, glanced at Zhu Gaoyu's gaze, and sighed in his heart, some words were not said after all.

"Very well, I hope you can do it, all that you say. I'm actually very optimistic about you, and I don't want to lead troops to destroy your family one day in the future. ”

The two kneeling on the ground hurriedly shook their heads, "No, Your Highness, these things will never happen, and the Shimazu family will be loyal to you forever and ever." ”

Zhu Gaoyu smiled with relief: "It's good to have this intention, you go back and prepare, prepare to take over the slave area, and I will send someone to inform you of other things." ”

"Resignation!"

The delighted two kowtowed excitedly, got up and bowed to Xia Yuanji again, and then slowly withdrew from the tent.

Walking out of the tent, the two hurried back in silence until they reached the second dog camp.

"According to my identity, I should call you brother."

Shimazu Hisatoyo was the first to speak, and he looked at Shimazu Tianchang, who was looking at him silently: "You should know that it is difficult for your identity to compete for the position of administrator, and if the two of us fight, it will only make others take advantage." ”

"When the time comes, they will not have respect for His Highness, and all that we have worked hard to do will be lost, and even the family will disappear without a trace."

"You know, for those who are unwilling to submit and have no loyalty, His Highness will not hesitate to erase them."

"What do you want to say?" Shimazu Tencho finally opened his mouth.

Hisatoyo Shimazu stepped forward and grabbed Tencho Shimazu's hand.

"Brother Tianchang, please support me, as long as I can become an administrator, your status in the entire Xianu District will be second only to me, and I will also restore your status as a child of the Shimazu family in the name of the head of the family."

"And I can assure you that your children will have the same inheritance rights as my children."

"As long as the two of us join forces, the position of the administrator of the Xianu District will always remain in the hands of the two of us."

Hearing these promises, Shimazu Tencho's hand trembled slightly.

Shimazu Hisatoyo is right, His Royal Highness let the Shimazu family decide for themselves who the administrator is, and in his capacity, it is difficult to get a lot of support.

He has put in so much effort for this position, and he is unwilling to give it to others in vain.

Shimazu Jiufeng, although he looks down on this guy and thinks it is very hypocritical, and those promises are likely to lie to him, but the other party is the head of the Shimazu family after all.

He wants to restore the identity of the Shimazu family, and no one can help him except Shimazu Hisatoyo.

Looking at Shimazu Hisatoyo, who was looking forward to it, Shimazu Tianchang thought about it in his heart and finally decided to agree first.

Let the other party help you restore the identity of the Shimazu family first, as long as you have this identity, everything will be possible in the future.

"Okay, I promise you."

Seeing that the other party agreed, the ecstasy in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, he grabbed the other party's hand, shook it a few times, and shouted in a choked voice.

"Brother!"

"Don't worry."

Shimazu Tianchang stopped the other party and said, "On this premise, you must first restore the identity of my Shimazu family, otherwise there is no need to talk about it at all." ”

Yaga, what an old fox, too cunning.

The smile on Shimazu Hisatoyo's face froze for a moment, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

What the other party is thinking, how can he not guess.

But thinking about the position of the administrator, he could only grit his teeth and say, "No problem, I will make a proposal to the family today to restore the identity of your family, brother." ”

Shimazu Tianchang's face also showed emotion, and he shook Shimazu Kutoyo's hand excitedly, and shouted affectionately.

"Virtuous brother!"

"Brother!"

This big guy recommended me a few days ago, although I didn't read his book, but his grades are very good, if you are interested, you can go and read it.
