0388 Commander of the Foreign Legion
Liu Pei has been watching the real ship Jingping coldly. When he saw his pale face and sweaty back, Liu Pei was very satisfied! Liu Pei felt that when he returned to his home and publicized the military parade, I was afraid that the Shimazu family would not dare to have any more superfluous ideas!
But then he suddenly found out that the real boat Jingping was actually excited again, which made Liu Pei a little puzzled! It turned out that at this moment, the real boat Jingping thought of a good way, that is, to prompt the Shimazu family and Liu Pei to form an alliance!
In his opinion, if the two sides form an alliance, with Liu Bei's strength that he can easily defeat the 3,000 troops of the Shimazu family, it will give the Shimazu family a greater boost in the struggle for hegemony. So when the parade ended, Zhenchuan Jingping proposed his idea to Liu Pei.
Liu Pei thought to himself when he heard this, I said why did you suddenly get excited, it turned out that you wanted Lao Tzu to give you your life! Don't even think about it!
So Liu Pei simply refused this request. But the real ship Jingping didn't have the heart to die. He decided that when he returned to his home, he would definitely promote the idea to his family.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhenchuan Jingping discussed with Liu Pei about taking people back. Although Liu Pei was full of promises, how could he be willing to let go of such a good labor force? So he sent someone to pretend to check the condition of the ships, and quietly detained several ships. Then he told the real ship Jingping that there were not enough ships, so he could only transport people back in batches.
The real boat Keihei also felt that it didn't matter. Anyway, as long as he starts to pull back the soldiers, it shows that Liu Pei is sincere and doesn't worry about anything else. So he chose a few hundred soldiers as the first returnees. Three days later, Yang Fan loaded the supplies, and the remaining soldiers were naturally left for Liu Pei to continue to work hard.
waited for Liu Pei to send away the real boat Jingping, and then arranged to summon Aso's father and son. Liu Peiyi was startled when he saw Aso. I haven't seen him for more than a month, and Aso's whole person is thin and out of shape!
Liu Pei said in surprise: "Brother Aso, what's wrong with you?" I haven't seen it for more than a month, how did I lose weight like this? ”
Aso opened his mouth but didn't speak, just shook his head and sighed. But a young man behind him said angrily in stiff Chinese: "My lord, the birch mountain family is too bullying!" They deprived the father of all his honor! Don't even give a chance to seppuku! ”
Liu Pei knew that this young man was Koichi Aso, the son of Aso. This young man is very beautiful, inheriting Aso's national character face and thick eyebrows, and he is a very trustworthy person at first glance. So after Liu Pei arranged for the two to sit down, he poured a cup of tea for the two. Said to the young man, "You're Koichi Aso, right?" Your father and I have spoken of you. Tell me what's going on? ”
Koichi Aso is a young man, hidden
I couldn't stop talking, so I told the story from beginning to end. It turned out that when Aso explained everything at the Shimazu house, he returned to the Kayama house. Secretly reported to the Biryama family about the death of Birshan's Hidaka in battle. Then he was ready to commit suicide by seppuku. But what I didn't expect was that the eldest son of Hisataka Kayama was very domineering. Because he didn't like Aso, he expelled the entire Aso family on the grounds that Aso didn't take care of the head of the house and let the head of the house die.
Because the news of the defeat of Hisakama could not be publicized, Aso did not dare to commit suicide in public. He had planned to end his life at the Birch Hill family, but now he was expelled by his family.
This is a great shame for a samurai! Not even giving him the opportunity to seppuku is tantamount to depriving him of all honor. In desperation, Aso had no choice but to find Liu Dahai and live on the boat. In the end, he returned to Ryukyu with Liu Dahai.
In fact, Liu Pei doesn't have any special thoughts about Aso. It's just for Liu Dahai that he showed favor to him. As for picking up Aso's family, it's just a matter of convenience. Anyway, after taking it back, their family will become ordinary people, and it's a big deal to take care of their lives.
But the arrival of Aso reminded Liu Pei of one thing, that is, the matter of the Foreign Legion. Aso is a battle-hardened veteran and has a wealth of experience in leading troops. The most important thing is that the initial team of the Foreign Legion must be dominated by Japanese soldiers, and with the reputation of Aso, he will definitely be able to command these Japanese soldiers smoothly. So Liu Pei thought for a moment and changed his previous mind and decided to encircle Aso.
So he grabbed Aso's arrow and said loudly: "Brother Aso, you have to cheer up a little!" Don't be so downcast! ”
Aso said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, I have lost the honor of my life, how can you cheer me up?" ”
Liu Pei said loudly: "Do you still look like a samurai now?" Your back is hunched and your head is bowed. I don't have a little bit of energy. I'm telling you, Aso, a person's honor cannot be deprived of by others! Maybe he will be temporarily disappointed, but as long as he doesn't give up, he will be able to stand up one day! Didn't the Birch Hill family expel you? Then you can't give up! You have to cheer up, achieve greater achievements, and make the Birch Mountain family regret it! At that time, not only will you get back the honor you lost, but even others will praise you! ”
After pouring this bowl of chicken soup for the soul, Aso seemed to be a little sober. He rolled his dull eyes to look at Liu Pei and said, "But, how can I get back the honor I lost?" As a samurai who was expelled by the main family, no family was willing to take him in. ”
Liu Pei sneered and said, "There is no home."
It's okay for the clan to take you in! Now there is a king who is willing to take you in, what do you think? ”
Aso's eyes burst with a flash of hope, and then it was extinguished. said: "My lord, you are willing to take me in, I thank you very much!" But I'm going to fight and nothing else. And the army of adults is so different from the army I am familiar with that I can't integrate it at all. ”
Liu Pei smiled and said, "What's this?" What if I asked you to lead a team of widows? Will you do it well? ”
Aso looked up in surprise. But his eyes brightened, and he said, "Commander of the army that has always been a Japanese people? How is this possible? ”
Liu Pei said: "Nothing is impossible. Many of those captives don't want to go back to Shimazu's house! They decided to stay and fight for me. So, you can rule these people. ”
At this moment, not only Aso was excited, but even his son was trembling with excitement. This news is a crucial opportunity for Aso! If he can serve Liu Pei, he will have the opportunity to completely wash away his shame in the future.
Aso Zhi has fought against Liu Pei, and he knows Liu Pei's true strength and is a person with great prospects. At this time, Liu Pei also mastered the Ryukyus, although he did not officially ascend the throne and claim the king, but he was already the lord of a country. If he can serve Liu Pei, this will be more glorious than serving the Shimazu family! The future is even greater!
So Aso said in a trembling voice, "Really? Adults won't lie to me, will they? ”
Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "How could I lie to you?" In a moment, you will go to the prisoner camp yourself, and ask who is willing to stay here and serve me. Those who are willing to stay are in your hands. ”
Aso Zhi was very excited when he heard this, and from now on, he took his son to pay homage to Liu Pei. Formal allegiance to worship Liu Pei. Lupe calmly accepted the visit and allegiance of the father and son. Wait for the two people to finish worshipping. Liu Pei looked at Aso's impatient eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are in a hurry!" Then I'll write you a warrant and you'll do your errands. ”
Liu Pei turned back to the table and wrote a warrant and handed it to Aso. When Aso took over the leader, his hands were shaking! This is no ordinary warrant, and this is Aso's chance to save his reputation in the future.
After Aso Zhi took the warrant, he said: "Master of the family, my son has grown up, let him stay by your side and be a guard!" ”
Liu Pei also understood what Aso meant. This is clearly sending his son over as a hostage. After all, if a foreigner holds military power, who can believe it so easily? Even Liu Pei wouldn't believe it easily. It's not about proximity, it's about necessity.
