The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

After hearing Taichiro Sasaki say that he would take Jubei to join the battle, Akihito's expression perked up and he immediately agreed.

"it is good!"

"Then you all go together! Give these enemies a fight!"

"But remember, it's best to take some people as prisoners!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Taichiro Sasaki cupped his hands and solemnly agreed.

But at this time, Nobuo Sakamoto, who had been patient for a long time, finally couldn't help but say:

"General Sasaki, when you go on this trip, don't underestimate the enemy!"

"The Yan Kingdom is approaching fiercely, and it must have sufficient confidence. We have already lost the naval battle. The Yan Kingdom will land at the Western Sichuan Port immediately. By the time the news reaches the Kyoto Imperial Palace, it is even possible that the Western Sichuan Port has been occupied."

"If this is true, it can be seen that the Yan Kingdom is no small matter in terms of military strength and combat power."

Sasaki Taichiro looked at him, but just snorted coldly. He had always been at odds with the reformists, and he would not pretend to be so at this moment.

Nobuo Sakamoto originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing his expression, he had no choice but to swallow the unfinished words.

Akihito waved his hands and said calmly: "Okay, that's it."

"Now, the situation has not yet reached such a serious stage, so we won't be so panicked, and we won't let other people's ambitions destroy our prestige."

Having said this, Akihito narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Nobuo Sakamoto and said calmly:

"Nobuo, why don't you also bring a troop of troops and horses? Your troops and horses still need to be trained. It is much better to fight at home than to go to the Yan Kingdom. Now that the Yan Kingdom's people are here, it saves them the time to go to the Yan Kingdom."

Nobuo Sakamoto's heart skipped a beat and he quickly replied:

"Reporting to your majesty, most of the soldiers and horses in my hands are new soldiers who have not yet received complete training. Although they must undergo the baptism of the battlefield before they can transform into a strong army, the army coming from the Yan Kingdom across the sea this time must be Yan The most elite soldiers in the country.”

"It is really not a suitable time for my soldiers and horses to engage them at this time."

"Still..." He turned his head and looked at Taichiro Sasaki, and continued: "Let General Sasaki lead his battle-hardened army."

"They are experienced in combat and both are brave men. They are a perfect fit."

After he finished speaking, Sasaki Taichiro raised his face arrogantly, and then he said leisurely:

"Well said."

"Although the country has been reforming in the past few years, we veterans and veterans have never changed. We are still brave and can still gallop on the battlefield with the swords and guns in our hands!"

"In addition, my son Jubei founded the Kitano Itto style. After his five hundred disciples learned it, their swordsmanship became even more superb. These five hundred warriors alone can kill several times the enemy!"

"I am not lying, I dare say that I can defeat 5,000 people with 500!"

"Not to mention the soldiers under my command. Although my soldiers are not as good as the five hundred samurai of Jubei, they are by no means ordinary people."

"Compared to Xiongzhi's samurai, our combat power is much higher than theirs."

"I believe that when we fight against the Yan people, we will definitely defeat them!"

After saying these words, Akihito's face gradually softened, and he even smiled.

However, Nobuo Sakamoto became more and more panicked. He was talking so much even before he went to the battlefield. This was not a good thing.

At this time, Akihito spoke.

"it is good!"

"In that case, I will wait for you to send me good news!"

"Without further delay, let's set off immediately tonight!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Taichiro Sasaki nodded immediately and agreed.

-

Inside the shogunate.

"Jubei, everything is ready, it's time for us to set off."

Sasaki Taichiro looked at his son Jubei who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed tightly and said.

Jubei is in his thirties, wearing a haori, with long hair hanging over his shoulders, and his unkempt face is covered with dense stubble.

He slowly opened his eyes, then stood up suddenly and walked towards the knife rest.

Looking at his son who was a head and a half taller than himself, Taichiro Sasaki felt deeply pleased and said:

"Jubei, we are about to go to the battlefield. I have prepared armor for you. You should put it on."

Jubei walked to the sword rest. He picked up the [Senko Muramasa] that he had been with for a long time, shook his head and said:

"Need not."

"Father, do you know? Xiongzhi's swordsmanship is very good, and his Saber Doji Kiri is also a first-class sharp sword."

"Before he went to Yan Kingdom, he came to visit me. He seemed to want to learn swordsmanship with me, but he didn't speak."

As soon as these words came out, Sasaki Taichiro sighed slightly.

"Xiongzhi is a junior that I am very optimistic about. This time he attacked Yan State, he took the lead and led the troops."

"It's just...he has stayed in Yan Country forever."

Taichiro Sasaki turned his back to his father, stroking the scabbard, and asked in a deep voice:

"Father, although we are small, Fusang."

"But we don't lack anything, so why must we insist on attacking Yan Country?"

After the words fell, Sasaki Taichiro was stunned, but soon, his face turned red rapidly:

"Does this need to be said?!"

"If we don't attack Yan State, are we going to wait for them to attack us?!"

"Didn't we cease fighting more than two years ago? We agreed not to start a war with each other. In the past two years, haven't we, Fuso, been very peaceful?"

"Why are you so persistent in launching a war against the Yan Kingdom?" Jubei continued to ask, still not looking back.

Taichiro Sasaki did not expect that his son would say such words when the war was about to begin. If anyone else asked these questions, he would definitely kill him with a knife.

He took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and replied:

"If we don't capture the Yan Kingdom, sooner or later, they will capture our country!"

"You know that our Fusang is not even 10% as vast as the Yan Kingdom. When they become strong and turn to attack us, how can we resist!"

Jubei pulled out a piece of Chiko Muramasa from the scabbard. The cold light of the sword flashed in front of his eyes, and he continued:

"The closest Yan Kingdom came to us was the naval battle with the Red Flame Army."

"In the past few years, have they really thought about taking away our Fusang?"

"As a neighbor of Yan State, Gaoli is closer than us, but over the years, they have remained intact. They have even become more prosperous after having close contacts with Yan State."

"What exactly is this war we started..."

Before he finished speaking, Sasaki Taichiro interrupted him angrily:

"That's enough! You have been practicing swordsmanship for many years. Your mind should be sharpened to be as strong as your swordsmanship!"

"What are you questioning? Are you questioning His Majesty the Emperor's decision? You have been at home for a long time, have you ever gone outside to see if the domestic people support this war!?"

"This war is decided by His Majesty the Emperor, but it is something that everyone supports!"

"This is something that the whole country has to work together to do. Don't you even understand this?!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a "ch" sound.

The sword was sheathed and Jubei Sasaki walked out.

"Let's go, Father."

"It's time to go to war."

Taichiro Sasaki froze on the spot, until Jubei disappeared from sight, then he ran after him.
