Chapter 1015: Independence and Vassalage (2)
"My lord, you are the only samurai in the village now, and I ask you to make a decision. Muraki Takegami whispered.
Zhang Zhongjun Yang Yangmei, he knows the meaning of the tree in Takeshang Village, there are nearly 50 samurai with cottages in this Beihuang Village, most of them have become the heads of the public on both sides of the road in Boyang Town, and some are killed on the way to escape, maybe there are still people or they have not rushed back, but now the samurai who have returned to Beihuang Village are really the only ones themselves.
Look at the hundreds of guards of the Kurokawa family behind the Takegami Village tree, then look at the frightened expressions of some of the people sent by the various cottages to greet them, and finally look at the pen official sent by the former Zichuan family who is looking at him with a flattering face at the moment.
Zhang Zhongjun thought for a while, and walked forward to ask the scribe: "Do you know that the Zichuan family has perished? The Zichuan family has supervised the newborn children below, but all the direct bloodlines of the Zichuan family have been searched out and killed. ”
The pen clerk nodded a little sluggishly, these news had already been spread everywhere by those merchants, so the whole village was so panicked, so he heard that Zhang Zhongjun was back, and all the cottages sent people to greet him at the first time. Quite simply, Kurokawa Masanori, a samurai, was the first and only samurai to return to the village after the collapse of the Shikawa family.
The other cottages more or less knew that their own masters were unlucky, or there was no news, and the results were not good anyway, and now they are looking forward to being able to hold the thighs of a samurai to survive.
Why do you have to hug the samurai's thighs? As I said before, many things can only be done by people with status. For example, if Beihuang Village wants to maintain the crypt, this must be done by a mage, and ordinary people are not qualified to invite a mage at all, only samurai have this qualification.
And if there is a conflict in the village, someone needs to make a judgment, even if the oldest person makes a judgment, there will be people who are not convinced, but if there is a samurai to make a judgment, then no one dares to say much.
And the most important point is that this northern deserted village must have a unified master as soon as possible, otherwise those martial artists around will definitely be eyeing each other, especially those wild warriors, who will definitely pounce on them like jackals who see fat. At that time, the fifty cottages in the village will be occupied by different people, and then they will fight, it will be really sad, and the village of a small Warring States will definitely make the villagers worse than dead.
Therefore, Zhang Zhongjun, the first samurai to come back, was expected by the villagers. No wonder why they didn't just hunt down Zhang Zhongjun to receive the reward.
The rules of this world are very strange, after the main family is destroyed again, the samurai who did not flee back to the territory will be hunted down, and the samurai who flee back to the territory will be co-opted. The reason why it is so strange is probably related to the idea that the samurai who do not have a master and leave the territory are the source of unrest, and the samurai who return to the territory will naturally take care of their own harvest, and this kind of samurai is a good samurai and can be co-opted.
That pen official can be said to be the most uneasy person after learning of the collapse of the Zichuan family, because he was sent over, although the family members have moved over, but he is really not a person from this Beihuang Village, and now that no one touches him, his dependence has disappeared, and some people sneakily haunt his neighborhood these days, but he is scared half to death.
Now that Zhang Zhongjun is back, and he said this, he didn't know how to deal with it, but he suddenly felt blessed to his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Meet the lord!"
"Very good, then, my Heichuan family wants to become the village master of this Beihuang Village, does anyone have any opinions?" Zhang Zhongjun raised his head and glanced at everyone, and the four bean soldiers behind him immediately held down the handle of the knife and scanned everyone with murderous faces.
Not to mention Takegami Muraki, he made a gesture directly, and the hundreds of Kurokawa family guards he brought with him all slammed the handle of their guns and shouted: "Cheer!"
The villagers who came to greet them were all people with relatively high status in each cottage, and many of them were relatives of the owners of the cottages, but they were familiar with the rules of this world, and they naturally understood that at this moment, Kurokawa Masantoku, the only one with the status of a samurai, plus the so-called guards who didn't know how much training he had, were equivalent to elite ashigaru, and there was no doubt that he swept through the entire Beihuang Village.
Some of the representatives of the cottage who learned that their lord had been killed didn't think about anything, and directly knelt down and shouted: "Meet the lord!"
And those representatives of the cottage who had no news from their own cottage owners and didn't know whether they were dead or alive hesitated for a while, and then they could only sigh and kneel down and shout to see the lord.
No way, in this situation, even if the lord of his own family comes back, he can only bow to the lord and admit the lord, otherwise there is only one way to die, who let the Kurokawa family take the lead? Who made Kurokawa Masanori the first samurai to come back from Beihuang Village after the incident? Who let him have those four guards who look like they have the strength of a samurai, and those hundreds or thousands of guards who can compete with the elite Ashigaru?
As long as you have these forces, I am afraid that even if your own lord comes back with the private soldiers he took away before, he will only surrender obediently, since they are all surrenders, what is the difference between early surrender and late surrender? Oh, no, there is a difference, early surrender is to be a courtier, late surrender is afraid will be destroyed.
"Very well, since you all recognize me as Lord, then I will begin to give orders. Zhang Zhongjun said indifferently with his hands behind his back.
"Please let it be known!" everyone present knelt on the ground, including Muraki Takegami and the Kurokawa family guards.
"The first order is that all the flags hung in the entire village be replaced with the flags of the Kurokawa family to declare my ownership of this village. Zhang Zhongjun continued to say indifferently.
Takegami Muraki secretly rejoiced, it seems that the lord of his own family, don't look at his age, but the means are very good, changing the flag looks simple, but it is the most important point to determine ownership, which is indeed correct when used as the first order.
Seeing that everyone received the order without hesitation, Zhang Zhongjun continued: "The second order is to count the number of young and strong people in the entire village, and each cottage will report the accurate data to Lord Takeshang. ”
The third order is to count the number of stone heights in the entire village, and each cottage must also report accurate data to Takegami. ”
"Fourth, the Kurokawa family ashigaru is based on a team of 100 people, two teams of 100 people take turns to guard the entrance of the village, four teams of 100 people patrol the entire village, and the rest of the Kurokawa family ashigaru helps to count the young and strong population in the village and count the stone height in the village. ”
After completing the above tasks, each cottage is stable, and it is the same life and rest as before, and it is not allowed to gather people to make trouble, and there will be no forgiveness for violators. Speaking of this, Zhang Zhongjun directly drew his knife and swung it towards the clearing, and dozens of blades roared out like this, directly cutting the clearings into mountains and stacking them, all of which directly changed the terrain and landform.
Zhang Zhongjun's first order, no one cared, because anyone who surrendered allegiance needed to change the flag, and in their eyes, it was just a ceremony.
But the second and third orders are tantamount to asking for their old lives, and his meowing, counting the young and strong, and counting Shi Gao, is tantamount to treating these cottages of his own family as the private property of the Kurokawa family! How can this work! You must know that the population of the cottage and Shi Gao are not the original owners of their own family, and they also have a share! Where is it allowed to be taken away by your Kurokawa family in one go?!
But the surrounding Kurokawa is staring at the tiger, everyone does not dare to be the first bird, they all think that after going back, Lao Tzu will open the cottage door, and if the civil war is fought, the civil war will be fought! Look at how many people in your Kurokawa family come to fight the civil war, and see if you are willing to get a barren land after the civil war!
Just thinking like this, Zhang Zhongjun slashed with his knife for a while, making them look at such a large scene in a daze, and then suddenly a spirit, all of them knelt on the ground and shouted: "Command!"
Damn, I didn't expect this new lord to be a grade samurai! This is no way, the cottage door can't block a grade samurai's sword! So surrender obediently.
