Chapter Ninety-Nine: Japanese Craftsmen
Song Tao smiled evilly: "Old Qiao, I see why you are so excited." Aren't you blushing when you watch us go back and divide the Japanese? That's why I thought about getting some girls from the Semachi Pubya to go back, and you have nothing to do to sneak fishy. ”
Qiao Haipeng was blushed by Song Tao's words, and scolded angrily: "You little rabbit cub, I think so badly, am I such a person." If this is passed on to your sister-in-law, I can't explain it clearly. ”
Everyone was amused by Qiao Haipeng's embarrassment. Gao Jianguo scolded with a smile: "Song Tao, don't be nonsense there." When the time comes, if it really reaches Lian Hong, it will make Lao Qiao and his family awkward, and this matter will end here today, no one should go back and talk nonsense, do we want to believe Lao Qiao.
I also think that Li Ming's mention is good, so let's get it, I see that there are a lot of sake houses in Sakai Port Secho, so we will give them a pot of serving, and go back to get a few sake houses with Japanese characteristics, and also help those Liao people and Japanese samurai find a place to solve their physiological needs.
By the way, Lao Qiao, if you want to go there in the future, just talk to Lian Hong about going to my place for a drink, and if Lian Hong asks, I will help you cover up. And a few of you, you will help Lao Qiao create some opportunities when the time comes, but say in advance, don't be a special goof, we are not human inside and out. ”
Everyone couldn't help it anymore, especially Song Tao, who was so happy that he almost turned his back on it. It makes Qiao Haipeng feel aggrieved, but the best way now is not to take this stubble, and don't explain, the more you explain, the more chaotic it becomes.
Li Ming saw that Qiao Haipeng couldn't bear it anymore, so he diverted the topic and said to Lu Gambo: "Old road, how is the harvest this time?" ”
Lu Gamble smiled and said: "Not dishonoring the mission, there are now more than 2,000 Japanese girls on the ship, which I picked out with a lot of effort." They are all between the ages of sixteen and twenty, and they are guaranteed to be virgins. If you're in a hurry, I'll take you to see it first and give you a break. ”
This was said at a high level, ridiculing Li Hao and making him unable to say anything. Everyone was there laughing. Li Hao scolded in his heart, these old guys are getting more and more out of shape, and now even Lao Gao has changed a lot, is it really because he wants to divide women, and they are all so excited that they can't control themselves.
He waved his hand, pretended not to hear, and immediately diverted the topic and talked to them about something else. Gao Jianguo suddenly remembered something. He said with a pale face: "Shall we go to the wounded barracks of the Japanese Death Army to take a look, don't just let the family work hard, we should also make some gestures." ”
When everyone heard this, they all agreed with him. As soon as a few people discussed, while the shogunate army had not yet come, let's go now.
The Japanese death soldiers are now cultivating in a private house near the Sakai City Commission, and when Gao Jianguo and Li Ming arrived, Fujita happened to come out of it. He was also wounded in this battle, and there were several knife wounds, and now his arm was wrapped in gauze and hung around his neck.
When he saw Gao Jianguo and Li Ming, as well as several other big figures, he immediately panicked, hurriedly ran over, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Meet a few adults." ”
Gao Jianguo walked over, held his arm, and asked with concern: "You guys are very brave in the battle this time, and the casualties are relatively large, it's really hard for everyone." We're late, so I hope you don't mind. How's your injury? We must cultivate well, and we will need you brave warriors in the future. ”
After listening to Gao Jianguo's words, Fujita's heart couldn't be hotter. He said excitedly: "General Xiao has already dealt with everyone's injuries. Thank you for your concern, all the samurai of the Death Army Brigade are willing to fight to the death for their families. ”
Gao Jianguo and Li Ming were led into the courtyard by Fujita. They talked cordially with the samurai of the Death Warriors and asked about their injuries; They were concerned about the injuries of the Brave Soldiers and the availability of various logistical supplies. For the food and accommodation of the death squad in the past few days, they have asked one by one and patiently inspected them. It fully reflects the care of the Military Committee of the Far Eastern Company for the Death Army Brigade.
And they also asked these sacrificed daredevils if they have relatives in Japan, if they can be contacted, the company will send the bereavement pension to their families, if their families are living in difficulty, they can also take them to Vladivostok in the future and take care of them as martyrs' orphans.
For them, the Japanese samurai who have joined the death army, they can also take their families to Vladivostok in the future, and the company will make good arrangements according to the treatment of military families, and it is absolutely impossible to admit that the soldiers of the Far Eastern Company shed blood and tears.
All the samurai of the Death Army were also grateful for the condolences of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission. The sense of belonging to the main family in my heart is also stronger, and I secretly swear that I will definitely die on the battlefield for the main family in the future.
They used to be in the original master's house, but they didn't have such treatment, and the samurai were desperate to put it bluntly. It would be nice to have a little relief when you die, who will care about your family.
Gao Jianguo and the others stayed for a while, and then left here. Li Ming didn't leave, but stayed and chatted with Fujita and Kenji for a while. For this time, the table of the daredevils gave an affirmation.
"Because of your excellent performance in battle, the Military Council has made a decision that the establishment of the Death Army will be expanded to 500 people, with the two of you as the chief and deputy captains. Go for it! The future development of our Far East Company is not something you can imagine. It is up to you to make a difference. ”
After listening to Li Ming's words, the two of them were very excited and repeatedly expressed their loyalty. When they heard that they were going to take away the Jido of Sakai Town's Sakaya Shirocho this time, they were all very excited. Kenji next to him thought for a moment and said, "Lord Shogun, there are many merchants here in Sakai Town, and there are a large number of craftsmen in their shop, and I heard Fujita say that the main family is now building a large number of craftsmen, and a large number of craftsmen are needed, so I thought of them. The craftsmen here in Sakai Town are all from a family of craftsmen who have been passed down for generations, are we ......?"
Li Ming's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested. Kenji's age is close to middle age, and it turns out that his status under a daimyo is also good, but it's a pity that the main family was wiped out, and he has been floating around all these years and has experienced too much of the world.
So he's much more mature than just Fujita. Ever since he was loyal to this powerful lord, he had always wanted to show himself in front of the generals of the lord's family, and he had been thinking about it for the past few days, and now he had finally thought of a way, so he brought it up on this occasion today.
Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "Kenji's idea is very good. In this way, your current task is to first complete the number of the Dare to Death Brigade and make up the establishment of 500 people. Kenji, you go and investigate the craftsmen in the shops in Sakai Town and the Jido in Se Town, don't be in a hurry to do it first, try to do it quietly, and then come back and report back to me, and listen to my orders before acting. In addition, in the past few days, you have organized various squads of the Death Army to patrol the streets and learn about the situation of the merchant shop in Sakai Town. ”
Fujita and Kenji listened to Li Ming's order, bowed almost at the same time, and said loudly, "Hi ......"
"We'll probably be here for a few more days, and you may have important work to do when we leave. In addition to patrolling in the past two days, organize everyone to go out and relax, but don't mess around, we don't want to cause trouble before we leave. ”
After explaining the task, Li Ming left the Death Army Brigade. He called together several platoon commanders of the assault battalion who were resting around the city and assigned them tasks. Everyone fought for a day, and it was very hard, but at this time, we still couldn't relax.
Although he had not found any reinforcements from the shogunate so far, he could not take chances. Li Ming set up the camp of the assault battalion at the Sakai City Commission, and the soldiers of the two detachments were on guard at all times on the city wall. Others also maintain combat readiness at the second level.
Everyone spent two days in a tense state, but strangely, reinforcements from the Tokugawa shogunate were discovered. There was no enemy situation found at sea, which confused everyone. Li Ming was also very puzzled, it is said that there is such a big thing here in Sakai Port, and the Tokugawa shogunate should have reacted a long time ago.
He had been nailed to the city wall for two days, but he still did not find a single shadow of the enemy. I didn't know what was going on at the dock these days, so Li Ming handed over the work to Wang Yaodong and returned to the dock alone.
Gao Jianguo and the others have been busy like something these days, and when Li Ming went back, they were still organizing Japanese civilians to load and unload supplies. Without the help of machinery, you can only rely on your hands to push and carry it on your shoulders, and the speed is naturally not fast. Moreover, they were loaded with heavy supplies such as rice, copper, and sulfur, and it was really not an easy task to fill two landing ships of several thousand tons.
When Gao Jianguo and the others saw Li Ming coming, they put down their work and chatted with Li Ming at the dock. Li Ming told Kenji's opinion to Gao Jianguo and others. After listening to Li Ming's words, everyone immediately became interested.
Gao Jianguo nodded and said: "I also heard that the craftsmanship of Japanese craftsmen is good, mainly because in this era of Japan, the social hierarchy is far above the previous dynasties in China. The classes of scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants have been passed on from generation to generation, and cannot be overcome. At least there was a imperial examination system in various dynasties in China, so that ordinary people had a chance to get ahead. Moreover, in the world of Chinese, learning and excellence are the most important, and officials are the most important. Therefore, in the eyes of us Chinese, the status of craftsmen is very low. Japan is different, you can only be a craftsman for a lifetime, even in modern Japan, this tradition is retained, even a security guard who looks at the garage may look at the garage for a lifetime. Not as restless as we Chinese. ”
Li Ming thought for a while and said, "Then when we leave, we will loot some more craftsmen and go back." I'm not worried about anything else, it's just that we're food, women, and craftsmen, and our three ships can't be pulled. ”R1152
