Beiyang new warlord

Page 314

With a few bangs and loud drums, facing the rising sun, 32 guards of honor carrying long banners and banners in front of them took the first step. Then, the cavalry regiment around them threw off their steps fiercely. Behind him, there are a total of 22 daimyos with their family crests aloft. The various and intertwined family crests and flags are placed behind Mao Jue's handsome flag with the word Mao, which actually sets off a sense of majesty for him. Behind him, he can only follow the lead of the class.

Especially where the army passes by, no matter the common people and merchants on both sides of the road, they all have to get out of the way, kneel on the side of the road, and when they are marching, they can see the dense crowd kneeling at their feet, with their heads bowed and their buttocks raised. Enlightenment arises spontaneously in Mao Jue's heart.

No wonder at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu clenched his fists while watching Qin Shihuang's mighty eastward tour, and Liu Bang even uttered the eternal voice of being a man.

The taste of power is really wonderful!

Chapter 295. Aggressive

In the last month when troops were dispatched, all the eight countries near Gyeonggi were snatched by Mao Jue. By the way, he also cut the six pineapples established by the Tokugawa family into six pineapples. In the hands of Mao Jue, although the exact rule has not yet been established, the two troops are at the forefront. heart.

Kyoto!

At this time, the capital of Kyoto has obviously lost the prosperity of Heianjing. The war between the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Onin Rebellion brought destruction, and there was a lack of funds for repairs for more than 100 years. The famous Rashomon has been destroyed and turned into a pile. ruins.

Emperor Chongzhen was poor enough. Before he died, he was so poor that he couldn’t even afford 100 million taels of military expenses, so he went to confess his love to Wu Xiang pitifully. Seeing a group of officials from the Wa Kingdom standing in front of the ruins to greet him, Mao Jue knew what it meant to be poor.

Mao Jue is no longer the Mao Jue who came to Kyoto half a year ago to beg. Toyotomi Kunimatsumaru is also now. Even if the shogunate does not recognize him, he is still an upright Taiko, a man of the world! In the future, he will still look at the Kyoto court and come to welcome him The Yingsi family and the Ertiao family were obviously very respectful. Although they didn't bow down, their waists were bent and their heads were about to hit the ground.

"Welcome Lord Mao, welcome Your Highness Taige!"

In the neat voice, Mao Jue dismounted a little arrogantly, and opened the door of the sedan chair for Kunimatsu Maru at the other end. The sedan chair was obviously not as comfortable as Dongjiang's four-wheeled carriage. He stretched his waist, but to Mao Jue's satisfaction, the young master didn't show any enjoyment of the privilege, instead he quickly returned a gift.

"My lords, please rise up."

"Where is His Majesty the Emperor?"

Not wanting to make Kunimatsumaru too timid, he leaned against him from behind, and Mao Jue picked up the words again, but he was obviously a little unhappy about what he said. I heard that when Oda Nobunaga went to Los Angeles, the emperor came out to greet him in person. In the era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu also came out to greet him. When he arrived at Toyotomi Kunimatsumaru, why didn't he get this kind of treatment?First of all, the world has not yet settled down. Don't look at the Tokugawa family's disastrous defeat in the third battle in Osaka. The old fox has been operating in Kanto for decades. If he wants to destroy him, he will have to fight for a few years. The attitude of the royal family is also here. Extra important.

Rights are really the basis for determining treatment. Last time Song Xiance came here, he had to be sneaky and follow his face. This time, Mao Jue's face was a little unhappy, and the next twenty or so big names suddenly sneered, and then there was an army of [-] , The Yingsi family came to welcome the second-ranked right minister's forehead to see sweat.

The words were a bit stuttering, Minister Yingji explained carefully.

"His Majesty the Emperor set up a performance in Zhaoyang Palace, and there is a special guest here, I believe General Mao will be interested!"

Eyes flickering, Mao Jue nodded slightly in understanding, there is no love for no reason in the world, and being on the pole is not a business, and the Toyotomi family will come to see Luo sooner or later, the royal family is so anxious, and personally summoning them is undoubtedly lowering their own status Well, there must be a special reason for making so many dignitary and aristocrats bow their heads, and the most special one today is the Tokugawa family!

Without fussing about it, Mao Jue waved his hand directly.

"The Shangluo army stationed in the Sichengsi and Liuboluo, and sent the tribute to the imperial treasury. The big names and their retainers went to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

"As ordered!"

In the neat reply, the mighty daimyo suddenly agreed.

Be careful sailing for thousands of years. The Imperial Court of the Japanese Kingdom has also lost its majesty for hundreds of years. He brought soldiers into the palace, which was criticized by those literati for thousands of years. Now Mao Jue is also leading soldiers into the palace in a big way. In front of the Zhaoyang Palace where the emperor entertained, there are more than 300 courtiers and warriors sitting cross-legged, like monks chanting scriptures, surrounded porch.

However, the royal family didn't feel much disgusted. The changes in the Honnoji Temple resulted in the sixth-day demon king Oda Nobunaga who almost ruled the world. Five carts of heavy silver and [-] shi of grain, the emperor's benefice is only [-] shi, and the annual income of throwing it to the farmers is less than [-] shi, which is enough for the royal family's income for almost ten years.

Having said that, the life of the royal family was indeed quite miserable. How frugal the Emperor Chongzhen was, he still put on more than 100 dishes. Except for the emperor's usual food, the rest was just for show. In the past, he would throw it away after a meal. Changed it to three days before throwing it away. I still have to show off my pretense, but what about the Fusang royal family!This is a royal banquet!A small table, a bowl of palace miso soup, a bowl of palace rice, a palace grilled saury, a palace hot vegetable dumpling, and a monk dish, deep-fried tofu, and finally sushi, which is still rice. Even though Kyoto is only two days away from the seaside, the emperor could not afford the fresh sea fish that rich people could afford.

But even Mao Jue, a foodie, didn't pay much attention to banquets at this time, and he really didn't want to pee, an unexpected guest was sitting under the hall.

Masakatsu Inaba, a veteran of the shogunate, is the fourth-rank military commander.

Sure enough, the royal family and the shogunate have hooked up again!

In fact, it’s no wonder that the truth is that the emperor is Tokugawa Iemitsu’s niece. If it was not for his own benefit, he would not have given up the position of Guan Bai. But now the general situation of the world has changed, and the Tokugawa family has become the weaker side It was Song Xiance who came up with the idea, and the royal family naturally stood together with the Tokugawa family again to maintain the balance between the two families, both to please the royal family.

"General Mao, the last time we parted ways in Gyeonggi, the general looked healthier!"

The situation was pressing, even the old middle-aged of the shogunate had to put down his dignity. Mao Jue came in with his subordinates. Masakatsu Inaba greeted him with fists in the crappy northern Mandarin, but he still maintained the dignity of the Tokugawa shogunate. Did not stand up and salute.

Seeing him, no matter if he was really angry or pretending to be angry, all the big names behind Mao Jue put on attitudes, and several Baga threw the old guy in the face.

Don't think that the big name is just some elegant person, just a bunch of warriors, if you really want to fight, you can swear all kinds of dirty words, but amidst all the swear words, Mao Jue actually put on a smile, and walked towards Masakatsu Inaba with a big smile past.

"Mr. Inaba, it's great to see you. I have something important to report! Someone is going to rebel!"

What does it mean to stir up a thousand waves with one stone? Mao Jue's words made the whole Zhaoyang Palace quiet, including Masakatsu Inaba, who were a little dazed, but immediately, Mao Jue's words made the old guy feel suffocated and constipated like that.

Mao Jue said with a smile as he stretched out his finger at the somewhat dull Toyotomi Kunimatsu Maru.

"The one who wants to rebel is His Majesty Taige! When I was going to visit His Majesty, Toyotomi's family cast another big bell in Xiufangguang Temple. The head of the body is different, and the Toyotomi family is happy to be the king, which is simply treasonous! I can't get used to it, the shogunate must hurry up!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Except for Kunimatsu Maru, the entire Zhaoyang Palace laughed out loud. It turns out that if you hurt someone, you have to be a big shot from the Ming Dynasty. Those who hurt people don’t use dirty words, and they directly swollen the face of the Tokugawa shogunate. Didn’t you use this last time? Do you want to make an excuse to destroy the Toyotomi family?This time there is a kind of you come again!

Now Mao Jue really doesn't want to fight anymore. The battle line is too long, which is already quite dangerous for Xiguo, but it doesn't mean that he will retreat if the Tokugawa family comes to the door, and can wipe out the main force of the Tokugawa family at the border again. The Chuan family was doomed, and they didn't even need Mao Jue to attack. They were afraid that they would fall apart. The group of uneducated big names knew this well, and started booing after them one by one.

"Master Inaba, I, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, also reported that the Toyotomi family repaired the bell, and the Shimadzu family paid for it! It is an accomplice!"

"There is also my Fukushima Masanobu, the inscription on the clock is engraved by my Fukushima family!"

The Shimadzu family is regarded as a big name in the country, and Fukushima Masanori was famous for being brainless during the Sekigahara War. Here, the two families performed vividly, and the laughter of the whole house forced Inaba Masakatsu to turn red. Start with a smile.

"General Mao was joking. This is just an ordinary inscription. Why do you say so much?"

"15 years ago, Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't explain it like this!"

There were hilarious ones, but there were also angry ones. Toyotomi’s vassal Tsuno Kidai, who was sent to the capital as an envoy, was a witness to the massacre that year. He was almost outraged. He pointed his two fingers on Inaba Masakatsu’s nose, and he pressed him even more. I was speechless.

The clay figurines still had three parts earthy nature, not to mention the high-ranking old man Inaba Masakatsu, a well-known good-natured man in the shogunate, couldn't help being annoyed, restrained his smile, and asked Mao Jue with a sneer.

"The general is the general of the Dongjiang army of the Ming Dynasty, so it's too much to point fingers at me about Fusang!"

He was talking about Mao Jue, but his eyes were looking at Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, Shinmatsu Nabeshima and others with sarcasm, which meant that they obeyed the orders of an outsider, what kind of warriors they were.

But who is Mao Jue?Growing up in the joke, he turned his head away without paying attention, turned to Chang Zong, our department and the assistant and asked with a smile.

"Changzong and I came from a famous family, and I heard that your ancestor's blood is very noble!"

Being able to stand out from a large group of ronin and become the daimyo of 31 shi again, how fast Changzong Gabu and the assistant turned their heads, it was immediately a respectful fist.

"What Da Fengxing said is right! The ancestor of my family is Gongyue Lord, who was descended from the Central Plains Emperor Qin Shihuang!"

"My Shimadzu family is also a descendant of Qin Shihuang, a descendant of Gongyue Jun!"

Hold it if you have feet, and the Shimadzu family immediately yelled.

Not to mention, in Japan, there are quite a few people claiming to be the descendants of Qin Shihuang, and these Fusang people in the Song Dynasty crossed a lot of breeds. It is really not easy to run Mao Jue out as an outsider. Once again, Inaba is winning the Tokugawa The shogunate ambassador was stunned.

Seeing that the shogunate ambassador was about to be forced out of the court amidst aggressive hostility, a blizzard-like scolding resounded throughout the court.

"presumptuous!"
