The hiding place of Hideyuki Kikuchi's companions was not very far from Zhao Hongyu's temporary camp. It is a dense forest with many towering ancient trees. Such forests were not uncommon in various countries in the seventeenth century.
Although Japan is an island country, the forest resources in this island are relatively rich.
After all, indiscriminate deforestation has not yet appeared in this era, and the modern industrial process has not yet begun, so it will take more than two hundred years for that kind of destructive deforestation to begin.
In the sky, the bright moon hangs crookedly, constantly emitting a faint light, providing the earth with only a little visibility.
Because it is close to the seaside, when the sea breeze blows over, you will always hear the "rustling" sound of the leaves being blown.
Because of the battle that took place earlier, some of the animals here have long gone without knowing where they are.
Even some of the fireflies have disappeared.
Therefore, the forest, which should have been relatively lively at night, was now completely silent.
This kind of silence is a bit uncomfortable for people to get used to at first.
After Kikuchi Hideyuki returned to the forest, his companions who came here to watch the battle appeared strangely around him.
You have no idea how they appeared. It seems like in the blink of an eye, these people appear out of thin air. This is much better than the magicians of later generations.
If Zhao Hongyu were here, he would probably be thinking that if these people were placed in later generations, they would definitely become great magicians.
Hattori Chizuru, wearing a ponytail and dressed as a ronin, walked over with six samurai swords hanging from her waist.
"Kikuchi, we saw you talking to that guy who seemed to be the leader of the foreigners for a long time. What on earth were you talking to him about?"
There are many fallen leaves on the ground in the forest.
If it were an ordinary person, walking over like this would definitely make a little noise.
However, Hattori Chizuru didn¡¯t make any sound when she stepped on the fallen leaves and walked over.
However, no one present paid attention to this small matter. They all looked at Hideyuki Kikuchi, waiting for his answer.
"Ninja, I just heard the foreign crown prince talking to himself, saying that he wanted to embarrass the shogunate, and also wanted to hurt the shogunate and get a piece of land from the shogunate. At the same time, he also wanted to support a local When he was in power, he couldn't help but show up and get in touch with him. If the foreign prince really had such a plan, I think this should be an opportunity for us."
Then, Kikuchi Hideyuki told his companions some of the things he heard at that time, as well as some of the information he got from communicating with Zhao Hongyu.
As Hideyuki Kikuchi spoke, the expressions of Hattori Chizuru and others gradually became serious.
When Kikuchi Hideyuki finished speaking, Hattori Chizuru looked at Kikuchi Hideyuki seriously and solemnly and asked: "Is what you said true?"
Kikuchi Hideyuki nodded: "Ninja, I guarantee it with my life. After communicating with the foreigner's crown prince, I found that he did have such an idea. It seems that he is really not afraid of the shogunate and is not worried at all. Go against the shogunate."
Hattori Chizuru then turned to look at the other companions, and then withdrew his gaze.
"I don't know where America is, but I think they have such a powerful navy and their national power should be quite strong. But in any case, they can only be regarded as dragons crossing the river. Their chances of winning against the local snake like the shogunate are still not very high. "
Hattori Chizuru frowned and expressed what he was thinking.
At this time, a very coquettish and plump woman in a pink kimono standing next to Hattori Chizuru, who looked to be about 27 or 27 years old, said: "As long as they are not afraid of the shogunate, we have nothing to worry about now." There is no way to go. In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter if you choose these people, the worst thing is to leave Japan.¡±
As soon as the woman in pink kimono finished speaking, her companions began to make suggestions.
The blind monk, who was wearing Japanese monk clothes, holding a big iron rod and wearing a bamboo hat on his head, said: "We can't go to North Korea. People over there in the Ming Dynasty can't believe it. The famous people in Japan all want us to die." , the shogunate will not let us go, even the pirates will capture us to collect the reward. It can be said that there are basically no people in Japan who are not afraid of the shogunate and dare to go against them."
The blind monk didn¡¯t say anything, he just told them the situation they were facing now.
However, as long as you are thoughtful, you shouldIt can be heard that the monk's meaning is actually very clear. That is, under the current situation, it is actually possible to cooperate with Zhao Hongyu and the others.
At the very least, Zhao Hongyu and the others offended the shogunate very severely. Therefore, they don't have to worry at all that these foreigners will collude with the shogunate and betray them.
In this way, they can completely rely on these foreigners to seek a place to live with these foreigners.
Besides, if these foreigners are really that strong, if they can defeat the shogunate's army and really frighten the shogunate, and get a piece of ceded territory from the shogunate, then these foreigners will support the Tokugawa family to recover, then Wouldn't their wish to revive the Tokugawa family come true?
Otherwise, with their people who want to revive the Tokugawa family, it is simply a dream.
They want money but have no money, no people, and they don¡¯t even have a piece of land. How can they restore the lintel of the Tokugawa family?
Hattori Chizuru was silent for a moment, and then said: "Well, the foreign prince you said is right, you can't make the decision on this matter. Don't say it's you, even we can't make the decision, so we must We need to ask Miss Tokugawa for advice and see what her ideas are. Come on, let's go back."
After saying that, the sleeves of Hattori Chizuru¡¯s wide samurai uniform rolled up automatically without any wind, and the next moment she disappeared without a trace.
Then, not only Hattori Chizuru, but also the people around him disappeared without realizing it.
If Zhao Hongyu were here, he would probably have to stand still on the spot. After all, some of the things these ninjas did are really beyond the scope of human cognition.
Hattori Chizuru and his party quickly returned to the gathering point in the forest. Here, Tokugawa Kayo has been anxiously waiting for Hattori Chizuru and the others to return.
"Miss, Hattori Ninto and the others are back."
After hearing the report, Tokugawa Kayo stood up happily.
"Sister Qianhe, you are back."
Because he has been with Hattori Chizuru since he was a child, Tokugawa Kayo is very dependent on Hattori Chizuru.
In addition, Chizuru Hattori was always protecting her when they were on the run, so Tokugawa Kayo's feelings for Chizuru Hattori were not generally good.
Hattori Chizuru and others emerged from the darkness and walked over quickly.
"We're back."
"How are things outside? Did you see anything?"
"Have the guys from Koga shown up?"
After Chizuru Hattori and his party returned, the companions who had stayed behind to protect Miss Tokugawa Kayo immediately gathered around and asked questions.
"Everyone asks one by one. You have too many questions. How can Sister Qianzuru answer them all at once?" Seeing the questions from her companions, Chizuru Hattori looked left and right. When they didn¡¯t know how to answer, Tokugawa Kayo quickly spoke to remind everyone.
When Tokugawa Kayo opened his mouth, everyone closed their mouths.
At this time, Hattori Chizuru nodded to everyone and said: "Ishida Aimichi of Osaka Castle led five thousand soldiers to attack those foreigners. Originally we thought those foreigners would be defeated, but no one could have imagined the final failure. It¡¯s actually an Osaka soldier.¡±
"What, the Osaka soldiers were defeated? Are those foreigners very powerful?"
"The Osaka soldiers are not that weak, they are really bad."
"Those guys in the Ishida Shogunate have always been soft-footed shrimps, so it's not surprising that they were defeated."
Tokugawa Kayo looked at Hattori Chizuru and remained silent for a while.
After a while, she asked: "Are there many foreigners?"
When Tokugawa Kayo opened her mouth, her companions immediately shut their mouths and watched her conversation with Chizuru Hattori quietly.
Hattori Chizuru shook his head: "We calculated that when those foreigners fought against the Osaka soldiers, they only had 800 troops in the battle."
Hiss!
Everyone took a deep breath, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
"You said earlier that Osaka would deploy five thousand troops, was that right?"
Tokugawa Kayo¡¯s little face is also very exciting, but it¡¯s not as exaggerated as his companions.
But she remembered what Chizuru Hattori said just now. Lord Ishida Aido led the Osaka army and directly sent 5,000 troops.
Hattori Chizuru nodded: "Yes, the Osaka soldiers sent out five thousand, and the foreigners who bombarded Osaka Commercial Town sent out eight hundred."??¡±
Tokugawa Kayo didn¡¯t even know how to describe it.
Eight hundred people fought against five thousand people, and five thousand people were defeated.
No matter how you put it, this is a bit too fantasy.
"There are 5,000 Osaka soldiers and 800 outsiders. With such a huge disparity in strength, how could the Osaka soldiers be defeated? It's really puzzling."
Tokugawa Kayo raised his hand and tapped his head, smiled bitterly and said.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The companions who were left behind were all so confused.
Even if the people in the Ishida Shogunate are cowards, they won¡¯t be so cowardly.
"The fighting methods of those foreigners are very strange, and Osaka's defeat was not unjust. From this point of view, these foreigners also have their advantages."
At this time, Hattori Chizuru spoke, and her companions who stayed behind, including Tokugawa Kayo, described the battle situation she saw and analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both sides. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
