I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Hahahaha." Undead Chuan let out a few more laughs, "Sorry, I disappointed you."

After all, Undead Chuan put his hand into his arms subconsciously, and took out a bong and a bag of tobacco leaves from his arms.

As soon as he put the mouth of the bong into his mouth, Undead Chuan quickly took the bong out of his mouth as if he remembered something.

"Not good, not good. Almost broke the precept."

"Boss, are you quitting smoking now?" Grandfather Jiang asked, "I have seen you do similar actions many times before. Just put the bong into your mouth, and then took it off immediately."

"Yes. That's right. I am indeed quitting smoking now." Undead Chuan stuffed his bong and the cloth bag containing tobacco leaves back into his arms, "Because my fiancee hates the smell of cigarettes."

"Fiancee?" Grandfather Jiang exclaimed in a low voice.

"Well. It's my childhood sweetheart who played with me since I was a child. With the help of a matchmaker half a year ago, I successfully got engaged to her."

"She absolutely hates the smell of cigarettes. So I've been trying to quit now."

The tenderness in Undead Chuan's eyes became more intense.

"After this gold panning is over, I will go back to my hometown and marry her."

"So we have to hurry up and quit smoking as soon as possible."

"Then I think you still have a long way to go, leader." Grandfather Jiang smiled helplessly, "I just saw you smoking heavily with a bong a few days ago."

A slight embarrassment appeared on Undead Chuan's face.

"The so-called smoking cessation does not necessarily mean never smoking again."

"Reducing the number of times you smoke is also a form of smoking cessation."

"My current goal is to reduce the number of times I smoke."

"The number of times I smoke now has been reduced a lot compared to before."

"The reason why I smoked heavily with a bong a few days ago was because we successfully panned for some gold dust a few days ago, and I started smoking on a whim."

Undead Chuan patted the cigarette that had just been put back in his arms.

"I only start smoking now when something happy happens to me."

"Let's save this cigarette until some happy event happens later, and then smoke it to your heart's content."

"Smoke? Speaking of which, I haven't smoked yet." Grandpa Jiang laughed.

"Oh? Then why don't you try smoking to see what it's like?"

"Well, if you are willing to ask me to smoke, leader, I would be happy to try the taste of cigarettes."

"Hahahaha! Let's smoke together after I encounter some happy event worthy of smoking!"

"If I let you smoke now, I might not be able to resist relapse if I smell the smoke."

After all, Undead Chuan glanced at the sky, then patted his buttocks and stood up.

"Okay! Have you had enough rest?"

Immortal Chuan shouted to the surrounding people.

"Get up! It's time to move on!"

"Let's get out of the woods before this evening."

Immediately after Undead Chuan said those words, there were sparse lamentations all around.

"Hey," someone said, "Leave this forest before evening? Isn't it too late?"

"It's a bit rushed, but there's no way around it." Undead Chuan said, "The trees in this forest are too dense, and there is no water source, so it's not suitable for camping."

"And this kind of densely wooded forest is also very dangerous. These big trees can hide well. This kind of densely wooded place is the most suitable place to launch a surprise attack on people. So it is better to leave here quickly and go to an open place .”

Undead Chuan has a reputation and prestige in the team. He has already spoken in such a serious tone, and no one dares to disobey.

"Boss, this is a wilderness with no village in front and no shop in the back." A certain guy said in a frivolous tone as he stood up, "Except for bears, deer and other animals, there will be no encounters here except for us. the rest of you."

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

At this time, there was a sudden clattering sound all around.

It's the sound of people's feet stepping on the snow!

As soon as the sound of snow treading sounded, a group of figures appeared from behind the big tree some distance away from Undead River and the others.

After appearing, they quickly rushed towards Undead River and the others, while narrowing the distance between each other, they lifted up the things in their hands.

There are 2 kinds of bows and firearms in their hands!

With a bow and arrow in hand, aim the arrow at Undead Chuan and others.

Those with muskets pointed their muzzles at Undead Chuan and the others.

bang bang bang

The sound of gunfire and the sound of the bowstring being let go intertwined, breaking the silence of the forest.

These people who appeared suddenly were all wearing bright red Ainu costumes without exception.

Matsumae Domain, Matsumae Castle

Matsudaira Sadanobu is now quickly flipping through a file in his hand.

This dossier records all the details of the "Naturalized Ezo Riot" incident the day before yesterday.

From the casualties of the civilians, to the casualties of the generals, to the current investigation results, the dossier contains everything.

Tachibana, whose surname is almost inseparable from Matsudaira Sadanobu, is now kneeling respectfully not far behind Matsudaira Sadanobu.

After reading the last character on the dossier, Matsudaira Sadanobu closed the dossier, and then heaved a sigh of relief:

"It seems that whether it is Aizu or Sendai, we seem to have underestimated their strength."

"To be able to pay only such a small number of casualties and defeat the rioting thugs."

"Under the current environment where samurai are generally willing to degenerate, it is really rare that Aizu and Sendai can still have such brave generals."

"What's even more rare is that besides the third eye, the generals in Aizu and Sendai are all young."

After all, Matsudaira Sadanobu heaved a long and heavy sigh as if he had mentioned something sad.

"It's a pity, if such a young talent can be used by our shogunate."

The dossier that Matsudaira Sadanobu had just finished reading contained detailed descriptions of the performance of the Aizu and Sendai armies during the quelling of the riots.

Through the description of the dossier, it is not difficult to see that the reason why the Aizu and Sendai armies were able to defeat the thugs in such a short time and with such low casualties was that Matsudaira Sadanobu sent iron gunners from the shogunate army to block the thugs' back route In addition, it also has something to do with the bravery of the generals of the Sendai and Aizu armies.

The generals of the two armies took the lead. While boosting the morale of the soldiers, they also tore the ranks and formations of the mobs to pieces by virtue of their martial arts skills.

This made Matsudaira Sadanobu feel a little envious.

There are many generals in their shogunate army who know how to arrange troops.

But there are not many fierce generals who are outstanding in martial arts and can take the lead.

In terms of bravery, the only one who can compare with Gamo and Xianzhou Qibenqiang is probably only Inamori, who is the general of the whole army.

Sadanobu Matsudaira felt that the current talents, especially young talents, were withered, and couldn't help expressing emotion.

There are too few young talents worth seeing. This is one of Matsudaira's biggest heart problems since he took office as senior middle school.

"Now our shogunate has fewer and fewer young talents worthy of training."

Matsudaira Sadanobu then added another sentence of emotion.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in Matsudaira Sadanobu's mind.

After this figure flashed through Matsudaira Sadanobu's mind, Matsudaira Sadanobu narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly clenched his hands behind his back.

The master of this figure is the "talent worth cultivating" that he has been talking about all along.

It's a pity that this guy released his pigeons, and there has been no news so far.

When I thought that I was let go by this guy, I was a little angry.

Not just angry at being duped.

At the same time, he was also angry that a young talent worth cultivating had just disappeared from under his nose.

"My lord?" Tachibana asked cautiously after noticing Matsudaira Sadanobu's strangeness, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Sadanobu Matsudaira shook his head lightly, "It's just that I suddenly remembered someone who gave me bad memories."

"Tachibana, go yourself and call Inamori for me."

"The generals, supplies, and reasons for the war have all been prepared."

Songping Dingxin said quietly.

"It's time to start planting the Sanyekui flag of our shogunate on the Red Moon Fortress."

Chapter 499 Do You Know?That Mashima Goro beheaded hundreds of people! 【8400 words】

Before officially sending troops into battle, two things had to be prepared—sufficient luggage, and the reason to go to war that could already occupy the righteousness.

As long as these two things are prepared, the war is half won.

——Sadashin Matsudaira/When I was reading history books, I felt it and wrote it casually.

*******

Matsudaira Sadanobu walked in front with his hands behind his back.

In front of him is a small official who is responsible for leading the way.

Behind him, 2 people followed.

One of them is Tachibana.

He was holding Matsudaira Sadanobu's saber, Chosoni Kotoru, and was following behind Matsudaira Sadanobu, step by step.

The other person is Inamori, the general of the shogunate army and the general of the whole army.

Even the loose official uniform can hardly conceal Inamori's extremely majestic figure.

At this moment, Matsudaira Sadanobu and his group were walking in a cell in Matsumae Castle.

All that hits the face is the uncomfortable damp, the unpleasant musty smell, the smell of feces, and... the smell of blood.

In the feudal era, the treatment of prisoners and the construction of prison cells were naturally very different.

In Japan during the Edo period, the samurai class and those with special occupations such as doctors were eligible to live in better-paid prison cells.

Ordinary people can only live in that kind of cell that is more disgusting than a pigsty, and no one may come in and clean it once for a year.

Matsudaira Sadakami and the others are now strolling through such a cell.

Tachibana, who was younger and had never seen any strong wind and waves, frowned and held her breath.

Only when he was about to suffocate, did he take a breath of the extremely unpleasant air.

As for Matsudaira Sadanobu and Inamori, their faces were as usual, and the unpleasant air permeating the surroundings seemed to have no effect on them in the slightest.

"My lord, we're here."

The clerk who was leading the way at the front stopped, turned around, and said "please" to a cell next to him, and said to Matsudaira Sadanobu behind him:

"The prisoner in this cell is the instigator of this riot—Maka Nao."

Matsudaira Sadanobu stood in front of this cell, looking at a disheveled guy with a bloody face huddled in a corner of the cell.

The person in the cell was the instigator of the riot who was captured alive by Sheng Tianmu—Ma Ka Nao.

A "guest" came to the door of the cell, but Maca Nao didn't look up, and kept locked in the corner, motionless.

"Is this person still alive?" Matsudaira Sadanobu asked.

"Still alive." The petty official replied hastily.

These days, Maca Nao has tried most of the torture tools and torture methods in Japan in the Edo period.

When "trying" the first torture instrument, Maca Nao confessed everything he had because he endured this inhuman pain.

But the government will naturally not let him go so simply.

Holding the idea of ​​"he might be lying" and "he might be hiding something", they continued to use one torture device after another and one torture method after another on Maca Nao.

To this day, although Maca Nao is not dead, they are already half dead after being tortured to the point where they are almost out of shape.

He heard the help of "guests" coming to his cell door.
