I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

After learning that Matsudaira Sadanobu had encountered so many things, Sheng Tianmu, who was quite shocked, said with emotion:

"My lord, I really didn't expect so many things to happen on your journey."

Matsudaira Sadanobu, who was pushing and changing cups with Sheng Tianmu, looked down at the tea in the teacup in his hand.

"Yeah... Looking back and thinking about it now, a lot of things really happened..."

"My lord, it is too dangerous to go to inspect the terrain in person... especially in a place like Ezo." Sheng Tianmu smiled wryly, "In a place like Ezo, even with a hundred guards , and absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.”

"There is absolutely no need for you to do such a dangerous thing yourself. Please don't go to dangerous places in the future."

Sheng Tianmu's words were full of sincerity.

What he said just now was not out of politeness or for the goodwill of Hiroshinobu, but he was sincerely worried about Matsudaira's personal safety.

Since Matsudaira Sadanobu became the new senior middleman of the shogunate and promulgated quite a few reform measures aimed at boosting the strength of the shogunate, Sheng Tianmu has always respected Matsudaira Sadanobu very much.

As a middle-aged man in his 40s, Sheng Tianmu has personally experienced the "Tanuma Era" when the former old middle school-Tanuma Yiji ordered the shogunate.

Sheng Tianmu hated Tanuma Yiji very much.

Whether it is the identity of Tanuma Yiji, or the various decrees promulgated by Tanuma Yiji as the old middle school, they are extremely disgusting to Sheng Tianmu.

Unlike Matsudaira Sadanobu, a dignitary with the blood of a general in his body, Tanuma Yiji was just a low-level samurai of Kii Fan in the beginning.

He is good at management and fortune-telling, and he is good at both sides. With his singing and dancing, he won the favor of the 9th and 10th generation shoguns at that time, and completed a miraculous counterattack. big bit.

Sheng Tianmu has always believed that people with low bloodlines are not qualified to sit in the senior position.Only those dignitaries with some excellent pedigree can sit in the senior positions of the elders.

So since Tanuma Yiji, Sheng Tianmu has been looking at Tanuma Yiji not pleasing to the eye.

And Tanuma Yiji's various actions after becoming the old middle-aged man of the shogunate made Sheng Tianmu's disgust towards this person grow day by day.

Until now, Sheng Tianmu has insisted that the reason why the samurai are so decadent and depraved is because of Tanuma Yiji.

After Tanuma Yizu took power, he changed the traditional national policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business" and vigorously developed commerce and handicrafts.His act of vigorously developing commerce led to the pervasive atmosphere of "worshiping money" in society.

Sheng Tianmu witnessed with his own eyes how in the "Tanuma Era", the warriors were corrupted by the atmosphere of "worshiping money", and they no longer pursued swordsmanship and academics, but instead pursued money.

After Tanuma Yoshiji stepped down and Matsudaira Sadanobu took over, Sheng Tianmu loved Matsudaira Sadanobu as much as he hated Tanuma Yoshiji.

After Matsudaira Sadanobu came to power, his series of decrees were basically the opposite of Tanuma Yiji.

Tanuma focused on commerce, while Matsudaira Sadanobu focused on agriculture, bringing the country back to the national policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce".

Tanuma Yiji's "money worship" corrupted the samurai's thinking and filled the society with extravagance. Matsudaira Sadanobu vigorously promoted the samurai Tsunaji and encouraged the samurai to practice literature and martial arts.And strictly prohibit luxury pleasure.

In the eyes of Sheng Tianmu, these policies of Matsudaira Sadanobu are the policies that can lead the country on the right track.Only by strictly adhering to the traditional national policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business" will the country not be in turmoil or have any inexplicable bad ideas.

Sheng Tianmu has always regarded Matsudaira Sadanobu as a hero who turned the tide and brought the country back to the right path.

Out of respect for Sadanobu Matsudaira, when he learned that Sadanobu Matsudaira was almost killed during this outing inspection, his panic, worry, and hope that Sadanobu Matsudaira would stop taking risks with his own body in the future are all genuine. of.

Regarding the suggestion that Sheng Tianmu just said to him, Matsudaira Sadanobu didn't respond aloud, just smiled and silently sipped the tea in his cup.

"Master Tianmu! Give birth to Master Tianmu!"

At this time, a loud announcement suddenly sounded outside the tent.

"The biggest man is back!"

"Oh! Has he come back? Hurry up! Tell him to come here and meet me!" Sheng Tianmu ordered the soldier who came to report the information across the tent.

"Yes!" The footsteps quickly left from the tent.

"Most..." After chewing the surname "Most" several times, Matsudaira Sadanobu showed a look of sudden realization, "Oh, I remembered, it's one of the 'Xianzhou Seven Guns', Suijiu, right? "

"Yes!" A little excitement appeared on Sheng Tianmu's face, "It's really frightening that the old middle-aged man knows his name."

Sadanobu Matsudaira smiled and waved his hand: "I have heard the names of the seven gunmen in Xianzhou for a long time, but I have only seen you, Kuroda-kun, and Qiuyue-kun—the three of you. "

A while ago, when Matsudaira Jonobu was still in Matsumae Castle and the whole army was still preparing for the final expedition, Tiandao and Zuo Er had been staying in the army to manage the army. What does it look like.

"Did you send Saikun to perform some mission?" Matsudaira Sadanobu asked.

"Yes." Sheng Tianmu nodded vigorously, and then briefly introduced the task he assigned to Zui today to Matsudaira Sadanobu.

Just after Sheng Tianmu introduced the content of the task to be carried out today, the sound of strong footsteps from far to near just happened outside the tent.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and the most followed the opened curtain into the tent.

After seeing Matsudaira Sadanobu sitting next to his uncle, the one who had never seen Matsudaira Sadanobu froze in place, thinking about who this person was.

Before he could figure out why, Sheng Tianmu directly helped him solve his confusion.

"Most! Hurry up and salute, this person is the old middleman—Master Matsudaira Sadanobu!"

The pupils of the last shrank suddenly, and after staring blankly at Sheng Tianmu, he knelt down in front of Matsudaira Sadanobu at a speed so fast that an afterimage could appear, saluted Matsudaira Sadanobu, and apologized for not saluting in time just now. And make amends.

Matsudaira Sadanobu waved his hand, signaled to get up, and then carefully looked at him several times from head to toe, then nodded gently.

"You are indeed your nephew, Mr. Sheng Tianmu. This majestic figure is really daunting."

Matsudaira Sadanobu, who had heard of the name "Seven Spears of Xianzhou" for a long time, was naturally aware of the relationship between Shengtianmu and Mou.

"My lord, you are too much."

The reason why Sheng Tianmu asked Moji, who had just completed the mission and returned to the camp, to come to his account immediately was to make his nephew familiar with Matsudaira Sadanobu.

Therefore——seeing that my goal has been preliminarily achieved, although I am polite and humble, there is joy that cannot be hidden in the pupils of my celestial eyes.

Chapter 519 [5400 words]

The author originally wanted to write a big chapter of 1 and 2 today, and wrote directly to the plot of Ogata's "single-man camp" as shown in the title of the previous 2 days.

However, a bad news suddenly appeared this afternoon. The author Jun, a very good friend who is as close as a brother, lost his love. He suddenly broke up with his girlfriend who had been talking for several years and was supposed to talk about marriage.

In order to comfort my friend, I chatted with him all afternoon, resulting in no time code words until the evening.So I can't finish writing a big chapter of "Ogata Breaking into the Camp" today. one person guessed right

Because of the above-mentioned force majeure, this chapter only wrote 5400 words, which was not half of the original plan, and could not write the plot of Ogata's start of the camp, so the author deliberately left the title of this chapter blank, so that the real single With two swords and two guns, he broke into the barracks of the 3000 army alone and stayed until tomorrow.

I hope everyone can understand the author Jun. Leopard Headache Crying Novels are important, but friends are more important. My friend is still in a bad mood and I am still thinking about how to comfort him.

Does any reader have experience in this regard?Give the author some advice. What should I say and do to my friend to comfort him well?

Kneeling on the top of the ground, he secretly cast a somewhat anxious look at Sheng Tianmu.

He is eager to tell his uncle the good news that he has successfully completed the task, and hopes to hear his uncle's praise for him soon.

Mogami has always regarded Sheng Tianmu, who almost regarded him as his own, as his half father.

Sheng Tianmu has always been very strict with him on weekdays, and the number of times he put on a stern face to Mogami is far more than the number of times he praises Mogami.

One of the happiest things for Mogami, who has great respect for Shengtianmu, is to be praised by Shengtianmu.

Fortunately, Sheng Tianmu didn't make Mogami wait too long.

After Matsudaira Sadanobu praised Mogami with a bit of politeness, and Sheng Tianmu even said a few modest words, he lightened his voice and asked Mogami sternly:

"Mogami, how is that village?"

Jiansheng Tianmu finally asked how his task was going, and Mogami, with joy on his face, quickly took a few deep breaths and tried to put on a serious face.

Mogami is not an idiot, knowing that there is a big man like Matsudaira Sadanobu present, so he has to avoid putting on a hippie smile as much as possible.

"Fulfilling the mission." Not only his face, but Mogami deliberately made himself answer like a "serious samurai" as much as possible, "We took the village with only 9 dead and 21 injured! A total of 39 heads were obtained in this battle, please take a look at them, my lord!"

Sheng Tianmu nodded, twitched the corners of his mouth, and showed a faint smile: "Nice job."

Finally, when his uncle praised him, Mogami suppressed his joy and said modest words like "I dare not be worthy".

Sheng Tianmu rushed to the top and waved his hand: "Go down and rest first. As for the heads you brought back, put them away first, and I will conduct the first physical examination later."

First check: In ancient Japan, it was an ancient ritual for samurai to check the heads of enemy chieftains.

In ancient Japan, just like in ancient China, the important act of gaining military exploits on the battlefield was to obtain the enemy's head, and the military exploits were evaluated according to the identity and popularity of the owner of the head.

Therefore, it is necessary to identify the head to determine whether it is the head of a famous general or an ordinary soldier, or a woman or a child. This process is called "first inspection" or "first inspection".

"My fellow, I'm in a lot of trouble, so I'll borrow your head to make a military contribution" This kind of thing was not uncommon in ancient Japan.

Many people not only used the heads of civilian men to make up their numbers, but even used the heads of women, children, and the elderly to pretend to be leaders.

Regarding how to use the heads of women, children, and old people to pretend to be military leaders, the soldiers also developed a unique method of cutting off their faces as badly as possible, so that people can't tell whether they are women, children, or old people.

Because too many people use the heads of ordinary people to make up their numbers, the "first real inspection" is now one of the indispensable ceremonies on the battlefield.

If there were heads of women, children, and old people among the heads, he might be scolded by his uncle. Therefore, before leaving Takta Village, Mogami himself conducted a "first inspection", The head of a young man can be seen at a glance, so it is difficult to distinguish the gender and age of the head, and Mogami did not bring it back.

"Yes!" Mogami saluted and echoed loudly, and then slowly withdrew from the tent.

Since Mogami left, Matsudaira Sadanobu, who had been silent just now, said softly at this time:

"Most Shang-kun's battle should be regarded as the first battle of this battle, right? Although the target is not the people of the Red Moon Fortress."

"That village has a very strong relationship with the Red Moon Fortress." Sheng Tianmu said at this time, "Eliminating that village is equivalent to reducing the number of potential allies of the Red Moon Fortress, and targeting the Red Moon Fortress and other relations with the Red Moon Fortress in disguise. With the deterrent effect of a good village, this battle can be regarded as a huge profit."

"I hope that after the official hand-to-hand combat with the Red Moon Fortress, it will be as smooth as today's flattening of that village." Matsudaira Sadanobu smiled.

As early as when he was in Butterfly Island, Ogata and Mamiya tried the trick of "disguised soldiers".

In order to facilitate the gathering of the soldiers who are now scattered all over the village, Ogata decided to repeat this old trick.

Put on the armor of the Scar Warrior, hide Da Shitian, Da Zizai, and Meiran and Kasumi who can no longer be carried in his arms after wearing the armor, and put on the Scar Warrior's set that looks ordinary Saber, smeared blood on the face and armor, and turned into a "blood-stained soldier" who claimed to see Ainu reinforcements.

The scenes that happened before Ogata's eyes perfectly met Ogata's expectations.

Izawa, who received the false information from Ogata, hurriedly summoned the soldiers scattered in the village without any doubt.

After Ize gathered the soldiers, seeing that Ogata had no need to act anymore, he tore off his disguise, and changed from "Blood Samurai" back to "Ogata Isshiki".

Ogata's first target was naturally Izawa, who looked like a commander and was the closest to him.

Because there are still some questions to ask Izawa as the commander, Ogata did not hit Izawa's vitals directly, but aimed at the back knee that is not fatal, but can directly scrap Izawa's combat power.

Leaning over, stepping in, and stabbing straight, Ogata stabbed through Izawa's right rear knee with a wakizashi, directly piercing Izawa's entire right leg.Afterwards, Ogata directly left the Wakizashi on Izawa's lap, and then drew out the sword at his waist.

bump!

Ogata let the handle of the knife come into intimate contact with the side of Izawa who was still screaming. Although Izawa was wearing armor, facing Ogata's current extremely high strength value, Izawa's armor could not It didn't do much protection.

Ize felt as if a boar hit his side, and the viscera in the abdominal cavity seemed to be twisted together. After a few steps, Ize flew sideways and fell heavily on the ground.

After completely losing the combat power of Izawa, Ogata turned the blade and pointed the sharp blade at the soldiers who were still stunned and didn't realize what happened.

Ogata swung the blade first, and swept across the face of the nearest "Soldier 1" from bottom to top, then slightly raised the tip of the knife and stabbed another guy behind him, and swept the body of "Soldier 3" at the same time when retracting the knife He used the three sword skills of ascending the tower, bird stab, and dragon tail one after another, beheading three enemies in one breath.

What Ogata is using now is not his Da Shitian, but a very ordinary sword that he just took from the scar warrior.

Although the ideal countermeasure when fighting an armored enemy is to attack the places where the opponent is not protected by the armor, these places are quite difficult to hack.

When killing "Soldier 3" with the dragon's tail just now, because he couldn't find a suitable angle to attack "Soldier 3"'s face and throat, Ogata could only slash at his chest, directly cutting through "Soldier 3" with brute force. Soldier [-]" breastplate.

Although he succeeded in beheading "Soldier 3", the ordinary sword in Ogata's hand was curled due to head-on contact with the armor.

Belatedly, the soldiers, who finally realized what had happened, finally began to riot.

Some started screaming.

Some people looked gloomy and drew their weapons to meet Ogata.

They were soldiers left behind to clean up the battlefield, so naturally they did not carry any powerful weapons such as bows and arrows, muskets, etc. The only weapons they had were spears and knives.

There are nearly 30 of them. If they form a dense gun formation, even Ogata will find it difficult.

But it's a pity that they are too close to Ogata now.

They simply don't have enough time and distance to slowly form a gun formation.

Ogata made a wrong step, and used a step to dodge to a place where he would not be attacked from the front or back. He aimed at the throat of "Soldier 4", and another bird stab pierced the soldier's throat.

The feeling of piercing a person's throat is completely different from the feeling of piercing ordinary flesh and blood.

After the peculiar feeling of piercing someone's throat reached Ogata's palm, Ogata resolutely discarded the sharpened and nearly scrapped knife in his hand, raised his left hand with the sheath and snatched away the man in front of him. The knife of a soldier whose throat has been pierced by him.

After grabbing the sword, Ogata used his right foot as the axis to rotate half a circle on the spot. While rotating, he put his right hand on the handle of the newly seized sword, and then drew the sword centrifugally towards "Soldier 5" on his right. ".

Raikiri with two swords without me!

Borrowing the power of centrifugal force, Ogata's thunder cut was heavy and ruthless, deeply cutting into the belly of "Soldier 5".

From just now, the system sound that reminds you to get experience points has been ringing endlessly.

But at this moment, Ogata's mind had an extra voice that he hadn't heard for a long time:

Ding!Because I have become proficient in the use of the Wuwo Two-Sword Style martial arts technique Raikiri, the Wuwo Two-Sword Style technique Raikiri has been promoted to an "intermediate" skill!

System Otokata, whose martial skill level has been raised due to the increase in proficiency, can't remember the last time he heard it.
