Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty

The samurai leader Hatta Ichiro nodded and said: "That's right! After listening to Mr. Xiong's words today, we realized that the weakness of our Iyo Fan and the strength of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army are all for the sake of a better life for the people of the Iyo Fan , why are you holding on to the power so hard? So we plan to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army."

"Then what should you do with your feudal lord, General Kono Tongjiao? You can't persuade him. Just now, I have heard His Excellency Kono Jiro talk about your feudal lord, General Kono Tongjiao. In his eyes, the interests of Fahai Temple are comparable to those of Iyo. Fan is more important." As Xiong Xuezhang said, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Kono Jiro in the cell next to him.

The warrior leader Hatta Ichiro turned his head and said angrily, "Why are you?"

Kono Jiro smiled awkwardly, and said, "That's right, it's the old man, how is the leader Hatta Ichiro?"

"Hmph! You don't need to care about me!" The samurai leader Hatta Ichiro looked down on this guy who was greedy and lustful because of his family relationship.

"Just now Kono Jiro told me that Iyo Fan's financial resources have been emptied by Fakai Temple, and there is no money at all, right?" Xiong Xuezhang asked.

The samurai leader Hatta Ichiro nodded, admitted the matter, and said: "That's right! Fahai Temple has already hollowed out the foundation of Iyo Fan through the master. The seemingly powerful and wealthy Iyo Fan has been unable to supply a large amount of food. The samurai and ashigaru infantry, now the barracks are full of people, it’s not that I’m out of money, it’s that I can’t afford to feed these old brothers.”

"That's why you all want to join my Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army, but the lord of your Iyo Domain, General Kono Tongjiao, is blocking there after all, what are you going to do?" Xiong Xuezhang asked.

"This..." The samurai leader Hatta Ichiro also hesitated, he didn't dare to resist his lord, there was nothing he could do, but he didn't want to sit and wait for death, seeing Iyofan die in vain.

"Hehe, leader Hatta Ichiro, please go back! Tomorrow you will kill or cut my subordinates, so please do as you please!" Xiong Xuezhang shouted very stubbornly.

The leader of the samurai, Hatta Ichiro, was very anxious when he heard the words, and said, "Mr. Xiong, can you do something?"

"I have nothing to do, unless you dare to attack your feudal lord, General Kono Tongjiao!" Xiong Xuezhang said, "There will be a big battle tomorrow. Even if your feudal lord, General Kono Tongjiao, is powerful, he will not be a match for our governor. You will definitely return home injured, and when the time comes, you tie up General Kono Tongjiao and open the city gate to surrender, and our governor will definitely remember you!"

The samurai leader Hatta Ichiro's eyes lit up, he nodded in praise and said: "Mr. Xiong's method is good. If Admiral Wang of your Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army is really so powerful, I will personally contact some Jianghu masters in the city who have already washed their hands. Help, we will definitely be able to take down the master at that time, and then tie up the city and surrender, but you must treat our master well, and don't kill the sacrificial flag."

"Don't worry, our Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army will not do such a thing." Xiong Xuezhang assured himself, patting his chest.

In fact, in his heart, he has already scolded the leader of the warrior Hatta Ichiro as a bloody sprinkler. He knows better than anyone what the style of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army is. I stabilize them first, and then play it by ear. My own life depends on whether these people have the ability to keep me. As for whether they will settle their scores after the fall, it is up to them.

Because the governor once said that as long as he can successfully complete the task, the position of the prefect of Iyo Fan will be his own, and then these people will have to rely on Xiong Xuezhang's face.

"Mr. Xiong, let's be wronged in this big prison first, and we will definitely pick you up after we are done. I have already told the prison boss that the food and drink will definitely be served in place. Time is urgent. I will contact them first. Farewell!" The samurai leader Ichiro Hatta clasped his fists and turned to leave. The moment he turned around, he gave Kono Jiro a hard look, which made Kono Jiro terrified.

After the samurai leader Hatta Ichiro left, Xiong Xuezhang asked Kono Jiro: "You seem to be very afraid of the samurai leader Hatta Ichiro of your Iyo domain! What's going on? It stands to reason that the chief executive of the general's mansion would be afraid of a Warrior leader?"

Kono Jiro smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Xiong doesn't know something. Although this Hatta Ichiro is only the samurai leader of the Iyo Domain, his identity is not as simple as it appears on the surface. His wife is the daughter of the Utsunomiya family. His My mother is the daughter of the Xiyuanji family. On the surface, he is just the samurai leader of the Iyo clan. In fact, he is the spokesperson of these big families. My Kono family is sparsely populated, and the wealth has not yet begun to accumulate. Jiao my good nephew made offerings to Fahai Temple, making the Kono family weaker and weaker, while the other families became stronger."

"Are you afraid that he will kill you after the incident is over? Why didn't you report it to your nephew?" Xiong Xuezhang asked.

Kono Jiro shook his head, and said helplessly: "I don't care whoever is in charge of the daimyo position of the Iyo clan, and I don't want the Kono family to be in charge of the daimyo position. It's all my good nephew's fault for getting weaker and weaker!"

Not to mention that Kono Jiro and Xiong Xuezhang were complaining in prison, at this time someone was discussing them in the general's mansion.

"You mean that the leader of the samurai, Hatta Ichiro, went into prison to meet Xiong Xuezhang, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army?" General Kono Tongjiao, the daimyo of Iyo Fan, asked.

A ninja in night clothes below nodded and said: "My lord, the leader Hatta Ichiro not only met Xiong Xuezhang, but also discussed with him how to deal with the Iyo Fan." Hatta Ichiro recounted the conversation between Xiong Xuezhang and Xiong Xuezhang in detail.

General Kono Tongjiao listened expressionlessly, then the corners of his mouth turned up, and he said with a smile: "Ichiro Hatta has some conscience, and he knows to let the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army save this general's life. Before this general, in order to balance Iyo The major forces of the feudal clan can only let Hatta Ichiro be the leader of the samurai, it seems that what the general did was right at the beginning!"

"May I ask if the lord wants to clean up those martial arts masters who have retired from the world?" the ninja asked in a low voice.

"Hehe! Do you also think that this general will not be able to defeat the people of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army? This general was praised by the Buddha himself in Fahai Temple as a figure like the God of War in Fahai Temple. How could he be defeated by these invaders? When General Kono Tongjiao mentioned Fahai Temple, a frenzied light appeared in his eyes, which made the ninjas kneeling below tremble with fear.

"So, leave them alone for the time being?" Ninja asked.

"Leave them alone. After the matter is over, I will settle accounts with them slowly. You go down and continue to monitor them, and see who the warrior leader Hatta Ichiro meets. It just so happens that General Ben takes this opportunity to see who jumps." Come out, and then this general will be able to catch them all!" General Kono Tongjiao said.

"Obey! This subordinate will leave!" The ninja slowly got up as he spoke, and as he got up, his body gradually faded away, and then disappeared.

General Kono Tongjiao looked at the direction outside the city, and murmured: "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's battle! The practice in Fahai Temple has not smoothed the warlike will in my blood!"

Chapter 783 The Envoy of the Iyo Domain Has Arrived

Chapter 783 The Envoy of the Iyo Domain Has Arrived

"The First Artillery Battalion, start setting up the Yidari Cannon!" the Baihu officer of the Xuanwuwei First Artillery Battalion shouted loudly.

"Hey!" The soldiers of the First Artillery Battalion responded loudly.

"The [-]th household of the Xuanwu Guard is ready! Everyone is ready! Put on the bayonet!" Li Songwei, the commander of the Xuanwu Guard, shouted.

"All the [-]th households of Xuanwuwei have it! Load up the ammunition!" Zhao Jun, the deputy commander of Xuanwuwei, shouted.

"Shh!"

"Snapped!"

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Guard obeyed the military order in unison and started to act.

This scene fell in the eyes of the samurai on the wall of the big city of Iyo Fan, all of them turned pale, and their mouths grew wide as they looked at the cold muzzles of the guns.

"Is this the legendary artillery? The artillery is full of murderous intent!" The warrior leader Hatta Ichiro said with a serious face, and he was even more convinced that he would join the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army. Once he became a member of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army, then I will also have these powerful weapons.

When the time comes, he will lead his subordinates to attack the city and gain wealth, and he will definitely become a wealthy family. Thinking of this, Hatta Ichiro turned his head and glanced at the tower, where was sitting the daimyo general Kono Tongjiao of the Iyo clan.

General Kono Tongjiao keenly sensed the eyes of the warrior leader Hatta Ichiro, and immediately shouted: "Hatada Ichiro! Look at the posture of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army, is it going to attack the city?"

The samurai leader Hatta Ichiro walked into the city gate building, nodded, and said, "My lord, I feel that the expeditionary army of the Ming Dynasty may not know the rules of our Fusang land. We are not happy to attack as soon as we come up." As for the city, our side is fighting first, just like the Three Kingdoms period before the Ming Dynasty, we need to fight in front of the two armies to boost morale. I didn't expect that after so many years, they don't like this kind of thing anymore. ,This is how to do?"

"Send a samurai to the expeditionary force of the Ming Dynasty, and say that this general wants to fight them!" General Kono Tongjiao said.

The leader of the samurai, Hatta Ichiro, looked embarrassed for a while, and said: "Is the lord taking it for granted? Why should the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force listen to us? We want to fight generals, and they will fight generals?"

"Uh..." General Kono Tongjiao was also a little embarrassed. Knowing that he was taking things for granted, he rolled his eyes and said, "Just say that as long as the fighting general wins our Iyo Fan, then this general will open the city and surrender!"

"My lord really wants to surrender to the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army?" the warrior leader Hatta Ichiro said excitedly.

Seeing Ichiro Hatta's appearance, General Kono Tongjiao said with a ferocious face, "Baga! Do you really want this general to surrender to Iyo Fan? This is just my general's plan!"

"So that's how it is! Hahaha! Your lord is really clever!" the leader of the warrior Hatta Ichiro said with a smile.

Out of the city gate, the smile on the face of the samurai leader Hatta Ichiro disappeared suddenly, and he became gloomy. He greeted a trusted samurai and whispered a few words in his ear, and then the trusted samurai sat down. The hanging basket came out of the city from above the city wall.

Sitting in the central army, Wang Zhen looked at the lively Xuanwu guards and nodded with satisfaction from time to time, as if these good seedlings were able to become what they are today because of his hard work.

"I report to the Governor, a warrior came down from the big city of Yiyu Fan, saying that he came to deliver a message." A Xuanwu Guard soldier walked up to Wang Zhen and said with a military salute.

Wang Zhen glanced at the Xuanwu Guard soldier in surprise. He really didn't expect that Iyo Fan would send someone over. Ever since the clerk Xiong Xuezhang entered the Iyo Fan's big city but never came out, Wang Zhen gave up his hope of recruiting Iyo Fan. Only then will Xuanwuwei directly prepare to attack the city. Since you don't eat the soft ones, then eat the hard ones!

"Let him come here! The governor wants to see what kind of tricks this Iyo Fan is up to!" Wang Zhen said with a smile, his lips curled up.

"The supervisor is in charge of his tricks. Let's just use our strength to crush him. Is it so troublesome?" Feng Naluo, the head of the East Factory, shouted arrogantly.

Ding Yuyu said: "Feng Datou doesn't know something, and Admiral Wang also has concerns. Now that the enemy is getting stronger and stronger, and Xuanwuwei's casualties are also beginning to increase, it is profitable to be able to save one death, or try not to increase casualties. It's better, after all, the Xuanwu Guards are Admiral Wang's cards, and they will be used after returning to the Ming Dynasty."
