Chapter 139: Humiliation
Zong Yicheng stood at the top of the castle tower, looking out at everything that was happening in the harbor, his fists clenched. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Lord Governor, there's a clipper ship outside."
"I've seen it, who are they? What is the purpose? Have you asked? ā
"They said that they were the chief military officer of the first product from Shangguo, the general of Zhenguo, and, also..."
"What else? Go ahead. ā
"Yes, they also said that they wanted the governor to go and greet them personally."
Zong Yicheng hadn't opened his mouth yet, and a stocky man with a sword standing next to him shouted angrily, "How can this be true, without a national certificate, he is the general of any country, and he doesn't even give a name post, so rude, how can it not be like the so-called envoys from the kingdom, the lord must not go to see them, who knows what the identity of these people is, does the lord need me to gather samurai and peasant soldiers?" ā
Zong Yicheng still turned his back to a few people, staring at the distance deadly, without the slightest intention of speaking.
At this moment, a few more people came, and several people were stopped outside the building, only one of them went straight up to the castle tower, came behind Zong Yicheng, and said breathlessly, "Lord Jiadu, for the sake of the Tsushima Domain, please bear with me for a while and agree to the request of the visitor." ā
Listening to the tone, it seems that this person's position in the Tsushima domain is quite important.
Although the stocky man next to him was full of anger, he forced himself to bear it, and said softly, "Lord Yanagawa, these people are unknown, how can they let the lord be in danger." ā
The middle-aged man named Liu Chuan said, "No matter what the identity of these people is, but the first rank of their main family, and the general's number, can't be faked, Zhenbei, haven't you seen that 20 people in that team of flags can shoot war horses with an arrow from 200 steps away, such bravery, can anyone in our army be able to do it?" But there are more than 300 such warriors, if there are not tens of thousands of male soldiers under his command, how can he pick out the more than 300 flags in front of him. ā
Zhenbei was dumbfounded when he heard this, he was also from a samurai family, how could he not know the difficulty of shooting a war horse with an arrow from 200 steps away, and couldn't help but say, "How is it possible?" Lord Yanagawa, you can't grow the morale of others. ā
Liu Chuan was about to refute, but he saw Zong Yicheng wave his hand to stop it, and all the personnel were silent together.
Zong Yicheng slowly spoke, "Zhenbei, why didn't I let you gather the samurai and peasant soldiers, it is because I also saw the scene just now, there is such a powerful flag guard, the military strength behind this person is probably unimaginable, no wonder this person is so arrogant." ā
Then he turned to Yanagawa and asked, "Do you know who is coming?" ā
"My lord, my subordinates think it may be the same group of people who contacted us in Busan before."
Zong Yicheng thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "It should be them, heh, I just rejected their invitation before, and the next day I came to the door with a mere 300 people, it is really arrogant, but the situation is stronger than people, we can only bow our heads." ā
The "lord" several warriors bowed their heads and persuaded hard, but they couldn't come up with any solution.
They also knew that with the strength of their own domain, the military strength that could be assembled immediately could only bring shame on themselves.
Even if it took half a month to gather thousands of peasant soldiers from the whole domain, it would be impossible to defeat the more than 300 banners that came.
If you ask the shogunate for help, it will be far from quenching your thirst, and in the end you will only obey your fate.
After a long sigh, Zong Yicheng ordered, "Change clothes, open the middle door, and welcome the general of the kingdom." ā
With all the retainers, he came to the front of the tiger array, bowed down to the tiger ben who was standing at the end of the team and said, "Please also report it, Tsushima Shouzong Yoshicheng came to greet the general of the kingdom." ā
Hu Ben glanced at Zong Yicheng and said loudly in Chinese, "Tsushima Shou Zong Yicheng signed up for the audience." ā
At this time, the upper nobility of Korea and Japan were proud to speak Chinese, and all the people of the Tsushima power heard this sentence clearly.
Several of the samurai on Tsushima's side were immediately furious, and they drew their swords and tried to fight hard, but they were fast, and the tiger was faster.
With anti-cut gloves in the style of chain mail in their hands, several tiger ben didn't even pull out their knives, grabbed them empty-handed, and threw a few samurai who wanted to spread wild to the ground, moaning for a long time and unable to get up.
Several other samurai also reflected and prepared to draw their swords.
Zong Yicheng shouted, "Stop." Then he said in a calm tone, "Don't be rash, you all calm down for me, isn't it just to sign up for an audience, what's the big deal." ā
Zhenbei was the first to be knocked to the ground, at this time, his eyes were round, he struggled to stand up, knelt in front of Zong Yicheng and said, "Lord, his subordinates are incompetent, and the harmed lord is humiliated, and he can't even slash the enemy, and his subordinates deserve to die." ā
Zong Yicheng helped Zhenbei up, "Don't say it, don't be impulsive anymore, watch it carefully." ā
After saying that, he took a deep breath, knelt down at the end of the formation of two columns of 300 tigers, and after three kowtows, he signed up loudly, "Tsushima Shouzong Yoshisei, come to meet the general of Shangguo Zhenguo." ā
Then he stood up, took two steps forward, knelt down again and repeated the previous words.
Such a humiliation made the samurai of the Tsushima family embarrassed, and they covered their eyes with their hands, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, only the real soldier was the only one who stared at his lord with wide eyes and watched his lord shouting his name all the way forward, and before he knew it, his fingernails had sunk deep into the flesh, and the blood was dripping down.
Chen Xin sat on the boat, condescendingly looked at Zong Yicheng who was kowtowing his head and moving towards this side, and couldn't help sighing, "The ability of the Japanese people to pretend to be their grandsons is really deep in the bone marrow, I humiliated him so much, he can actually endure it as a prince with a dignified 20,000 stones." ā
Kanshu replied with a smile next to him, "General, according to the latest intelligence, since the last generation of the Tsushima Sect family, Zong Yoshizhi, they have been a daimyo of 100,000 stones. ā
"Oh? What great feats do they have? How did you seal so much at once? ā
Kanshu took out the folder, looked at it, and said, "Through hard work, diplomatic relations with Daming and North Korea have been restored. However, according to the information we have received, Zong Yizhi completed the task of resuming exchanges between the two countries by tampering with the documents and changing the documents of the Japanese state to the satisfaction of the DPRK without authorization. ā
"Yo, it's really bold, we can all get the news, and the shogunate didn't find out? actually sealed him. ā
"This, the subordinates are not clear."
"Alright, seeing that he is coming soon, all knights go and bring their horses."
Kan Shu's eyes lit up, "It's those war horses?" General, don't move, your subordinates will immediately help you lead the horse. As he spoke, he quickly turned around and ran, as if he was afraid that Chen Xin would refuse.
The staff officers around immediately cast envious glances.
Looking at everyone's appearance, Chen Xin knew how correct the few biochemical horses he had spent energy points to make.
Then he thought of what kind of frightened expressions those Japanese would have when they saw their war horses, thinking of this, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Chen Xin's mouth, today will definitely make everyone unforgettable.
At this time, Zong Yicheng finally signed up and came to the side of the ship, and after kowtowing again, Chen Xin's voice came from the boat, "Tsushima Shou, please get up." ā
When he stood up, Chen Xin continued, "I invited Tsushima Shou to a banquet to discuss state affairs, but I learned that you were busy with official business and had no time, so General Ben had to come in person. ā
Zong Yicheng lowered his head and said respectfully, "The general forgives me, I have been negligent before, and this time I will let the general return satisfied." ā
Chen Xin smiled slightly, looked at the sun that was about to set in the sky, and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's rest for the time being, and everything will be talked about tomorrow." ā
"General, please, everything is ready in the next pavilion, and please move."
"Since Ma Shou is warmly invited, then General Ben will not refuse, please wait a while."
Zong Yicheng thought that the other party was going to change his clothes, and said with a smile, "Whatever the general said, I will wait here for you." ā
Just as he was thinking about it in his heart, he felt a darkness around him, and there was an exclamation in the distance, and he couldn't help but look up.
"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this." Zong Yicheng screamed in surprise, and one of them didn't stand firmly, and fell directly to the ground.
