Located in the west of Miyazaki area, a small three-way intersection fifty kilometers outside Okazaki City.
If you want to go to Maitreya, then travelers must pass through this place.
Because it is a place where more people pass by, people start to live here. The residents living in Mikawahara do not farm here.
Most of them earn their living needs by selling some trinkets or providing accommodation and food to passing travelers.
Originally, because of the arrival of Zhao Hongyu and others, Fujita Koji, the lord of the Miyazaki area, had already issued a ¡®relocation order¡¯. In order to seek a scorched earth war against Zhao Hongyu and their enemies from Kyushu, the people of Mikawahara did not obey the lord's decree at all.
Because for them, they simply don¡¯t believe that there are enemies who can run wild here in Kyushu.
??????????????? Moreover, they also learned from some travelers that the thirteen famous families in Kyushu had assembled more than 150,000 troops to prepare to fight those foreigners.
Therefore, the residents of Mikawahara did not think that those enemies could be the opponents of the Kyushu Allied Forces.
That is a military strength of more than 150,000 people.
Not to mention those foreigners, even the shogunate would be impressed by Kyushu's ability to gather so many troops.
Of course, the main reason is that no one believes that the coalition of thirteen daimyo from Kyushu will fail in the battle against foreigners.
This is simply unimaginable.
Therefore, they did not leave their village and continued to live their lives as usual.
"It's a pity that the villagers of Mikawahara have no idea that what the Kyushu Thirteen Plus daimyo are facing this time is no ordinary enemy at all.
¡°And they didn¡¯t even know that just before nine o¡¯clock this morning, the Kyushu Allied Forces had been defeated by foreigners.
The dissemination of information in this era is still very slow, especially because there are not many channels.
It¡¯s like another time and space, where everything in the world can be known within ten minutes through the Internet.
The small village of Mikawahara has a total population of just over 200 people.
There are only a few dozen houses.
When Tokugawa Kayo led an army to surround the small village of Mikawahara, the villagers in the village were enjoying lunch in their homes.
In addition to these villagers, there are also a dozen businessmen and travelers heading to Okazaki Castle.
Facing the sudden appearance of the army and the wolf-like soldiers, these villagers regretted not obeying the lord's decree and all moved to Okazaki Castle.
But what¡¯s the use of regretting now.
It¡¯s all over now.
There is everything in this world, but there is no medicine for sale after the meeting.
Because the village was small, the soldiers quickly drove out all the villagers and gathered them in a small square in the center of the village.
The villagers, merchants, and travelers faced the soldiers' bright swords and guns, and their faces showed fear and panic, as well as confusion about the future.
They don¡¯t know what kind of action these people will take against them, is it to kill them? Or something else?
People are most afraid of the unknown.
This point is well explained by the Mikawahara villagers who are concentrated in the small open space in the center of the village.
¡°Sir, I don¡¯t know what you are going to do?¡±
The village chief of Mikawahara, an old man about fifty years old, bravely walked out and asked Yuji Kawabe with a smile on his face.
Although the village chief¡¯s face was full of smiles, Yuji Kawabe could clearly see fear and fear in his eyes.
"Go and stand over there, and don't say anything unless asked. We are the army of the Song Empire. Today we have defeated the coalition of thirteen daimyo from Kyushu in Mirokuhara. The Lord of Miyazaki, Fujita Koji, has fled back to Okazaki Castle. , we are preparing to conquer Okazaki Castle."
Well!
After hearing what Yuji Kawabe said, the people nearby had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
In fact, it is no secret that the thirteen famous families of Kyushu gathered an army of 150,000 in Maitreya Plain.
What shocked them was that an army of 150,000 people was defeated like this.
This is no joke!
Although many people¡¯s first thought is this, when they see the riverThe expression on Yuuji's face seemed like this was not a lie.
Since it is not false, then this matter must be true.
So how could they not be shocked by the fact that 150,000 Kyushu Allied Forces were defeated.
?????????????????? And this fat man, who looked no different from his own countrymen and also spoke Japanese, said that they were the army of the Song Empire. I guess they must be the foreigners the lord mentioned.
"Don't look at me so strangely. I used to be a military commander in Osaka Castle. Because I saw how powerful the Song Empire was, I surrendered to the Song Empire and took refuge under the crown prince."
Hebeian Yuuji glanced at these villagers one by one with the same eyes as looking at a loser.
Seeing the fear, respect and fear in the eyes of these people made Yuji Kawabe feel very happy.
"Everyone, I have something to announce."
Kawabe Yuuji asked his soldiers to surround the entire small open space, and then he looked at the villagers with high spirits and said loudly under the protection of the guards.
"I know what Miyazaki Lord Fujita Koji told you. He must have told you that my lord is a foreigner, so he asked you to fight against us, right?"
Although I don¡¯t know what this fat man who claims to have been a military commander of Osaka Castle but has now taken refuge with foreigners is going to do, these villagers are still obedient and honest to cater to Yuji Kawabe under the threat of swords and guns.
"My lord, we are all common people, and we are not very clear about these things. However, Lord Fujita did say so at the time, but we would never dare to invade you, lords."
The village chief cried and said to Yuji Kawabe.
Kawabe Yuuji waved his hand impatiently: "I don't want to hear this, I just want to tell you that our Song Empire came to Kyushu not to be enemies of you common people. Because we have already won the emperor and the shogun. recognition, Kyushu already belongs to us."
Kawabe Yuuji selectively told some ¡®truths¡¯.
"The thirteen daimyo didn't want to give up their rights at all, so they rebelled. In fact, they didn't pay attention to the emperor and the shogunate at all, and they couldn't bear to part with their rights. In fact, Kyushu will be controlled by the Tokugawa family. This place has nothing to do with our Song Empire. The reason why we came to Kyushu is just to protect the interests of the Tokugawa family."
The Tokugawa family?
The villagers, the merchants, and the travelers could not help but exclaim in low voices.
The name of the Tokugawa family is not ordinary.
"And there is only one family in Japan who dares to call the Tokugawa family.
That is the family of Tokugawa Ieyasu who failed in the struggle with the shogunate more than ten or twenty years ago.
Although Tokugawa Ieyasu failed, his "fame" has been passed down and is praised by many people at the bottom.
Originally, these common people thought that the Tokugawa family had failed and that the entire family was dead.
But today they learned that the Tokugawa family had appeared again, and had obtained the approval of the shogunate and the emperor, becoming the control of all Kyushu.
This news is really exciting.
Originally, when these people heard that Hebian Yuer and the others were from the Song Empire, they felt very uneasy.
However, when they heard that Kyushu would be controlled by the Tokugawa family in the future, the panic in their hearts gradually dissipated a lot.
When such a situation occurs, it is really confusing.
With Yuji Kawabe¡¯s narration, the hidden resistance in these people¡¯s hearts was revealed, and Tokugawa Kayo came out under the protection of Hattori Kizo.
Wow, she is actually a little girl.
When everyone saw Tokugawa Kayo wearing armor and walking in front of everyone, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"This is my legitimate daughter of the Tokugawa family, Miss Tokugawa Kayo. She has been approved by the emperor and the shogunate. She is the true master and controller of Kyushu!"
Tokugawa Kayo couldn't hold back the situation, so at this time it was Hattori Kizo who had to speak.
On the side, Yuji Kawabe kept complaining in his heart: What kind of bullshit Kyushu controller, you are nothing if not supported by the Crown Prince. Do you really think I don¡¯t know this truth? I'm not that idiot Iguchi Zozo. Even if the Crown Prince supports your restoration of the Tokugawa family name, your life will still be in the hands of the Crown Prince.
So, even if the Tokugawa family recovers in your hands, it will be impossible for them to escape the control of the crown prince for the rest of their lives.
With the strength shown by the infantry of the Song Empire, the Tokugawa family was revived Hehe!
Kawabe Yuuji couldn¡¯t help but sneer in his heart.
He can basically predict now that the future Kyushu will definitely be divided into several small forces secretly by those Crown Princes to keep everyone in check.
By then, no matter who has too much power, they will be suppressed.
Kawabe Yuuji is not a fool. On the contrary, he is the smartest guy among all the Japanese who have taken refuge in Zhao Hongyu.
Although he is very fat, he has a delicate heart.
¡°Moreover, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that in the future he would probably be obeying the orders of a little girl in name only.
After all, Kawabe Yuuji is also a Japanese, so he also has the Japanese chauvinism in his bones, and he looks down on women.
Of course, Kawabe Yuuji looked down on other women, but that was not the case at home.
He loves his wife who looks like a woman very much, and will turn into a fat sheep in his wife's eyes.
But for women outside, Yuji Kawabe would not be like this.
Not even Tokugawa Kayo.
It¡¯s just that the smart Yuji Kawabe would not show these thoughts on his face.
The villagers of Mikawahara were muttering in their hearts. They didn¡¯t know that these people drove them here just to say these words.
"Come here, bring the prisoners up!"
When Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Onizou finished speaking to these villagers, Kawabe Yuuji waved to his men. Then those Kyushu soldiers captured in Maitreya Plain were pressed up.
The expressions of these captive soldiers were very strange, sometimes red and sometimes white, and each of them also held a piece of paper in their hands, and I didn't know what was written on the paper.
Basically, these prisoners have an Imperial Alliance Army accompanying them, and at the same time, the expressions on the faces of these Imperial Alliance Army soldiers are gloating.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
I think my grandfather also did these things, so now I can see others enjoying it, and I feel really comfortable.
All the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army secretly thought this in their hearts.
Damn it, these Kyushu captive soldiers are holding written papers, all of which are about the stories that happened between the emperor and the shogun. At the same time, even the shogun's wife and some famous ministers also will be included in the story.
"Things like this have really been experienced by the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army before.
Thinking of their own experiences at that time, these Imperial Alliance soldiers felt a little like yesterday.
It is precisely because they have experienced it themselves that when someone follows in their footsteps, these guys are all very happy about their misfortune.
¡°Come one by one, don¡¯t be in a hurry!¡±
Hebeian Yuji waved his hand and let a guy come out first.
To be honest, Kawabe Yuuji himself experienced something like this back then.
It was precisely because of his good performance back then that he achieved the status he has today.
The guy selected by Yuji Kawabe walked out with a piece of paper filled with words in his hand, his legs weak, and then stood still.
However, his lips kept trembling and he did not speak for a long time.
"I'm illiterate" When this guy noticed that Yuji Kawabe's face started to look bad, his legs suddenly softened and he knelt on the ground, crying bitterly to Yuji Kawabe.
This guy discovered Kawabe Yuuji¡¯s murderous intention. He had no doubt that this fat man would kill him, so at this time he didn¡¯t care whether it was embarrassing or not. He had to beg this fat man now.
"illiterate?"
Hearing this, Yuuji Hebian was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and patted his forehead.
????????????????? Ouch, I was really careless, I didn¡¯t think of this.
Kawabe Yuuji suddenly felt that he had made some mistakes.
Yes, in this era, whether it is the East or Hope, there are actually many illiterates.
In this era, unlike another time and space, there are primary schools and junior high schools everywhere, which can avoid the emergence of illiteracy.
You must know that in this era, only children from wealthy families can read and write.
The people at the bottom don¡¯t think about this issue at all.
Fortunately, Yuji by the river is very smart, he willA man next to him who knew how to read summoned him and whispered a few words to him.
¡°Then, the subordinate walked up to the crying Kyushu prisoner and lowered his voice and said to him: ¡°I¡¯ll read it in a low voice, and if you say it louder, I¡¯ll kill you if you say a wrong word¡±
Soon, when the Kyushu prisoner began to ¡®tell stories¡¯ loudly, Kawabe Yuuji laughed.
The expressions on the faces of Tokugawa Kayo and the other villagers became increasingly weird. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
