- The ninjas in Japan have always had a strong desire for the samurai class.
The most famous representative among them is Hattori Hanzo of Iga-ryu.
He served Tokugawa Ieyasu and did his best for the Tokugawa family. Wasn't it because he could become a samurai and get rid of his dark ninja identity?
"It's a pity that Hattori Hanzo struggled to death, but he only achieved a status of two thousand koku. And he didn't become a samurai, he was still a ninja leader until his death.
It stands to reason that ninjas are more powerful than samurai.
However, their status and situation cannot be compared with that of the warriors.
If it were in other places, this would be a very strange thing.
But in Japan, this is very common.
Because samurai believe in bushido, they will be loyal to their lords, daimyo lords.
Therefore, the status of warriors is higher than that of ordinary people. This is also a method used by the powerful people in Japan to rule.
After all, although the status of samurai is very high, it is just higher than that of ordinary people.
In fact, they are just knives in the hands of the powerful, or cannon fodder.
But, people here in Japan don¡¯t see it that way.
Many of them regard becoming a warrior as their lifelong goal.
Of course, this is related to the general environment of the Japanese country and the social soil of this kind of thinking.
In other words, the information they have been exposed to since childhood, as well as the ideas expressed by people, have unknowingly brainwashed them.
So, when they grow up, they will think this concept is normal.
As a member of the Japanese nation, the ninjas cannot escape such an ideological brainwashing attack.
But they are even worse off than ordinary people.
Because their abilities are not available to ordinary people, but their status is lower than ordinary people.
Although the people and dignitaries of the Japanese country are willing to use ninjas to do things, they hate them very much.
???Actually, to put it bluntly, I love and fear ninjas at the same time.
What I love is that ninjas are powerful and can accomplish some of their goals very well.
What is also scary is the powerful ability of ninjas.
Therefore, the powerful people spare no effort to discredit the ninja and brainwash them.
Make them think that they themselves are inferior people.
But in the Warring States Period, ninjas developed greatly because of the continuous melee.
At the same time, the daimyo of the Warring States Period began to recruit a large number of ninjas in order to grasp intelligence and assassinate their enemies. This allowed ninjas to become active on the stage of the Warring States Period and became known to the world.
But even so, the status of ninja is not very high.
Even Hattori Hanzo, the leader of Iga under Tokugawa Ieyasu, had to be careful to smile and say flattering words even when he faced a very low-level samurai.
The reason is very simple, because he is not a samurai class, and the status of ninjas is the same as that of ordinary people, even ninja leaders like Hattori Hanzo.
Even though he has a salary of two thousand dan, he is still fundamentally inferior to the samurai class.
It can be said that throughout the history of the Warring States Period of Japan, although ninjas have excelled repeatedly, they did not get their glory in the end, and their status was not even improved.
On the contrary, the samurai group received a lot of benefits during the Warring States Period.
However, when the Warring States Period ended, the samurai community was also abandoned.
After all, it is an era of peace, and it is impossible for local daimyo to keep so many samurai in captivity.
Therefore, many masterless warriors appeared, causing trouble or doing evil everywhere. Therefore, after the Warring States Period, unique groups such as wild samurai and ronin appeared, and the situation of ninjas was similar.
Because of the peace, the ninja group suffered a large-scale massacre.
Led by Koga under the shogunate, all factions that did not obey the leadership of the shogunate were basically wiped out.
The ninja schools that can survive will have a powerful force behind them to rely on, so they can barely escape such a crusade.
For example, during the earlier Battle of Mirokuhara, the small sect that was killed by the Iga Ryu was because it relied on the support of the Kyushu daimyo, so the Koga Ryu did not dare to act rashly.
But one thing that needs to be admitted is that whether it is Koga style or other surviving ninja schools, their status is not high at all.
From the perspective of the shogunate, Koga is like a watchdog. Throw two bones to them from time to time, and they will do their best.
Furthermore, the samurai group also needs to watch these people and prevent them from doing something detrimental to themselves.
You must know that it is not just the powerful who are on guard against ninjas and suppress them from time to time.
In fact, as a samurai group, they will also suppress the ninjas.
After all, the cake of the Samurai Group is so big. If ninjas are allowed to emerge and become an existence comparable to the Samurai Group, will the Samurai Group have any benefits?
¡° Moreover, the abilities and methods of ninjas are stronger than those of samurai.
Therefore, in order to consolidate this interest, the samurai group will of course try its best to suppress the ninjas.
It can be said that in the face of oppression from all classes across the country, it is normal for the ninjas not to reap the benefits that belong to them.
However, it is impossible for Koga, Iga or other ninjas to clearly understand these deep-seated reasons.
Only an outsider like Zhao Hongyu would understand this very well.
And Igaliu followed Zhao Hongyu, and I have to say that they were very lucky.
First of all, Zhao Hongyu is not a Japanese, so his thinking is different from that of a Japanese.
What he values ????is ability and means, and he does not have the worry of talking about Japanese people. For Zhao Hongyu, he is afraid that you are incapable, and will not worry that you are very capable.
??Besides, there are very few special beings like Hattori Chizuru and the others among the group of ninjas.
Strictly speaking, they belong to the mutant race.
Most ninjas, such as the Jonin of Iga, have not completely broken away from the human category.
??????????????????? Their number is very small, and even if they act randomly, the harm will be limited.
Zhang Hongyu relied on the powerful Song Empire. It was too late for these ninjas to be afraid, so how could they do anything detrimental to Zhao Hongyu.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu clearly knew how to gain the loyalty of these ninjas.
That is to give them the so-called warrior status, which does not cost them much money and does not lose a piece of flesh.
So, he decided to give it a try.
Sure enough, when he gave this middle-aged ninja warrior named Hachiman the status of a ninja warrior and a salary of five hundred koku, this guy was so excited that he cried.
The salary of five hundred stones is already very high for a low-level warrior.
But for someone with Hachiman¡¯s ability, it¡¯s actually very low, right?
"Compared to those samurai who can only kill people with a knife, guys like Hachiman who can spy on intelligence, are proficient in assassination, disguise, and disguise are the talents.
The value of such people is much higher than that of so-called warriors.
You know, with the sharp muskets of the Song Empire, even Miyamoto Musashi with ten samurai swords can kill him with a row of guns, right?
Therefore, when facing Zhao Hongyu, the samurai is the most useless.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu would not say this.
Although he thinks samurai are useless, it doesn't stop him from recruiting samurai to be cannon fodder and thugs, right?
"Hachiman, you must do your best in the future. There are all kinds of unfairness to you ninjas here in Japan. In my opinion, those people have no vision."
Zhao Hongyu looked at the excited Hachiman and said slowly.
"I want to prove to those who have no vision that you are more capable and loyal than those warriors. At the same time, I also want to let you know that following me is a good choice."
"Your Highness!" I don't know what Hachiman is thinking about now, but after hearing Zhao Hongyu's words, he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore.
Even Chizuru Hattori, who was sitting on her knees behind Zhao Hongyu, had tears in her eyes.
"In our Song Empire, we only look at abilities. As long as they are capable, we will promote them without regard to their background." After Zhao Hongyu finished speaking to Hachiman, he looked back at Hattori Chizuru: "Tell the Iga Ninjas , as long as they have the ability to make meritorious deeds, I will give them the status of warriors, and they must obtain all of this by relying on their abilities."
¡°Hi Yi!¡±
Hattori Chizuru responded crisply.
?Hattori Chizuru is not worried about this at all, because she is very confident in Iga Zhong's abilities.
It is precisely because of this confidence and knowing everyone's abilities that Chizuru Hattori believes that in the future, the Iga ninjas can completely rely on their own abilities and merits to obtain a higher status.
"Hachiman, are you clear about the situation on the Ming side? Can you explain what the Ming side is saying?"
Zhao Hongyu felt that he should start to grasp some information about the Ming Dynasty in advance.
And these ninjas are the best source of spying and mastering information.
Although the war in Kyushu is not over yet, you should think about these things in advance, right?
Seeing Zhao Hongyu ask this question, Hachiman quickly responded in fluent Ming Dynasty Mandarin: "Reporting to Your Highness, my subordinates know something about the situation in Ming Dynasty, especially the customs and sentiments of Yangzhou."
Zhao Hongyu felt relieved as soon as he heard Hachiman's fluent Mandarin.
"Choose twenty people and I want to send you to Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. Your identity will be the maritime merchants of our Zhao and Song Empire. I will give you a sum of money. You can use this money as you wish. All I ask is that you Being able to establish relationships with the officials and nobles in Nanjing in a short period of time, after the war here in Kyushu is over, I will assist Tokugawa Kayo in stabilizing Kyushu, and when it is stabilized, I will set off for the Ming Dynasty."
"This subordinate will definitely fulfill his mission and will die to fulfill His Highness's instructions."
Hachiman agreed without any hesitation.
"Qianhe, give him twenty men, I think there shouldn't be any difficulty, right?" Zhao Hongyu asked. Hattori Chizuru nodded and replied: "There is no difficulty. If necessary, I can even mobilize all the ninjas from my uncle's side."
"That's not necessary. If the ninjas over there mobilize, what will happen to Tokugawa Kayo?" Zhao Hongyu waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, the ninjas on my uncle's side will definitely be taken back by me after the war in Kyushu is over. Now they are just assisting Miss Chiyo in fighting. Our Iga is now your Highness's.", although Zhao Hongyu is still casual. After saying this, Hattori Chizuru became serious.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and didn't care at all.
"Okay, Hachiman, please go down first. Although you will still be a ninja in the future, you are also a master samurai. In the future, you'd better learn some samurai etiquette and so on." Zhao Hongyu was very kind. He joked to Hachiman.
"Oh, my subordinates must keep this in mind!" Hachiman replied with a heavy kowtow to Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "When you go down, you go to the clerk and ask him to record it for you. From now on, you can be regarded as a person with status. I will let the people below issue you with representative status." brand."
Zhao Hongyu is very familiar with this set of stuff in America.
He knows very well what people do in order to obtain a higher status.
In addition to face, there is also the need to show off.
Therefore, in order to fully meet the needs of these people, Zhao Hongyu will of course create a complete set of things that they can use to show off.
??????????????????????????????????????????¡
Chizuru¡¯s eyes flashed with deep envy as she watched Hachiman retreat respectfully.
"Chizuru, you don't have to be envious. As my personal bodyguard and the leader of the Iga ninja clan, I will give you a corresponding position. It's just that I'm considering a girl becoming a samurai, which doesn't seem very reliable. That¡¯s why I kept putting it off.¡±
"Your Highness has filtered it, Chizuru doesn't dare to think too much about it." Chizuru Hattori quickly explained after hearing this. But it was impossible to say that she didn't envy Hachiman, after all, her eyes had betrayed her thoughts.
"How about serving the general? Your salary is five thousand dan. At the same time, you can select 300 people from the surrendered garrison of Shiliang City as your direct subordinates. I can also transfer you 300 horses to form a cavalry. Right? In this way, you can be regarded as a samurai in the future."
Zhao Hongyu is in a good mood now. After all, he is just a samurai. If he can make Hattori Chizuru happy, why not do it.
"Really, Your Highness!" Hattori Chizuru could no longer remain calm.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true."
Zhao Hongyu is in a happy mood here, but it¡¯s a ¡®hell on earth¡¯ outside.
At this time, lootingIt was coming to an end, and countless gold and silver treasures were piled in a small square on the top floor.
And many residents who were trying to protect their wealth have turned into corpses, lying in disorder in front of their homes. It can be seen from the wounds on their corpses that they were hacked to death with sharp weapons. .
However, no one will stand up for them.
In the small square, looking at the gold and silver treasures piled up like a hill, Roderney and his men laughed wildly.
The genetic man commander named Huang Xiaoming came to Roddelny's side and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Congratulations, Mr. Viscount, it seems that you will be rich soon" (To be continued.
