Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

After a long time, Kobayashi Yuchai sighed heavily, and then said: "I'm sorry, Maeda-kun, I can't promise you."

"Why?" Maeda Siyou heard Kobayashi's words and asked directly.

"Because, I need to take care of Minako." Xiaolin You said slowly.

"You also know that Minako is a poor child. Her parents have died in the war, and now she can only follow me. If I join the army with you, what should Minako do?"

"Xiaolin-kun, but have you never thought that even if you don't join us, Minako will be able to live a good life? Don't forget it. The battle formation has always been above our heads. Neither you nor I can jump. Lose."

"Only if we all participate, the war can be ended as soon as possible and Minako can be given a good living environment." Maeda Siyou continued to persuade.

"You're right, but I can't take Minako to the battlefield. I won't consider anything else until Minako is placed. I'm sorry."

"Xiaolin-kun, I still hope you can think about it again, even if it is not for yourself, you must think about it for Minako."

"Do you really want Minako to live in the shadow of war?"

"If you can join us, then Minako can be sent to my parents. I think my parents will take good care of Minako for you."

"Kobayashi-kun, please! Please think about Minako and all the children in Sakura Country. They are all innocent. They should not always live in the shadow of war."

With that said, Maeda Siyu bowed to Kobayashi Yu again.

This time, Xiao Linyou didn't speak because he was thinking seriously.

Maeda Soiyu's family situation is much better than his. If Minako goes to Maeda Soiyu's home for foster care, she should be well taken care of.

Moreover, Maeda Siyu said something very right. Children should not live in the shadow of war.

With the characters of Tokugawa Yoshiki and Meiji, no matter which one of them wins, war will always be the main theme of Sakura Country. Xiao Linyou didn't want this.

Compared to Tokugawa Yoshiki and Meiji, he was more willing to believe in Maeda Shiyu.

After a long time, Xiaolin You also made a decision.

"Maeda-kun, if Minako can be temporarily fostered in your home, then I can join. However, I am still worried. It seems that we cannot change everything now with our own strength. Do you have any specific plans? "

When Maeda Siyou heard that Kobayashi was willing to join him, a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiaolin-kun, I'm really happy that you can join. As for the plan, I do have one here." Maeda Siyu paused for a moment after saying this.

"Kobayashi-kun, since you have joined, let me tell you the truth. I have contacted Daxia's intelligence personnel. They are willing to support us in overthrowing the rule of Tokugawa Keki and Meiji in Sakura Country."

"What? How is it possible? Have you come into contact with Daxia's intelligence personnel?" Xiao Lin said with some surprise.

"It shouldn't be. Isn't Tokugawa Keiki an agent launched by Daxia? Will they allow us to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate?"

Hearing Kobayashi Yu's words, Maeda Siyou sneered.

"Agent? No, Tokugawa Qingxi doesn't think so. He thinks that there is a cooperative relationship between him and Daxia."

"Moreover, after Tokugawa Yingxi returned to the position of shogun, he began to contact Western forces, and Daxia was very worried."

"What Daxia wants is a stable Sakura Country, not a Sakura Country that can betray them at any time. That's why I say that neither Meiji nor Tokugawa will usher in a happy Sakura Country after they unify it." True peace.”

"Wait a minute, Maeda-kun, you mean that you have been in contact with people from Daxia, and that people from Daxia told you these things?" Xiao Linyou frowned and looked at Maeda Siyu.

Maeda Siyu nodded, and then continued: "Xiaolin-kun, I know what you are worried about. I also tell you the truth, my goal is to build a peaceful, stable, and prosperous Sakura Country, not to be a subsidiary of anyone else."

“So, I know there are things I can do and things I can’t.”

"First of all, if we want to establish a stable Sakura Country, we must first overthrow Meiji and Tokugawa Keiki. Only after they step down can Sakura Country have a prerequisite for stability."

"After this, we can definitely negotiate with Daxia to ensure the independence of Sakura Country even if we pay some costs. After this, we can develop with peace of mind and no longer participate in the disputes between countries."

"I think this kind of thing can be resolved through peaceful talks, not through violence."

After hearing what Maeda Siyu said, Kobayashi nodded and said, "Since you already have your own idea, go ahead and do it."

Afterwards, Kobayashi You discussed some details with Maeda Seiyu, and then followed Maeda Seiyu down the mountain.

Although Minako was reluctant to leave when Kobayashi Yuu sent her to Maeda Soiyu's home, she reluctantly agreed after learning that Kobayashi Yuu would come back to see her when he was free.

Early the next morning, Kobayashi You followed Maeda Soiyu back to Emono Castle.

Maeda Siyou used his position to assign a squadron of troops to Kobayashi Yu and equipped him with a large number of weapons.

Kobayashi Youze began to help Maeda Siyou train the squadron.

Because in Maeda Shiyu's mind, whether he wanted to overthrow Tokugawa Keiki or Meiji, he needed the support of Daxia.

If you want Daxia's full support, you must first prove your abilities, and this opportunity to prove yourself is on the Kitakyushu battlefield.

Therefore, Xiao Linyou was very strict when training this squadron.

But neither Kobayashi Yu nor Maeda Sosuke knew that the situation on their side had been sent to Koizumi Jiro by Daxia intelligence personnel who had been in contact with Maeda Sosuke.

Yes, in fact, Jiro Koizumi was the candidate selected by Daxia to replace Tokugawa Yoshiki and Meiji.

Neither Tokugawa Keiki nor Meiji knew this. Tokugawa Qingxi only knew that Koizumi Jiro was sent by Daxia to monitor him, not to replace him.

Therefore, although he was on guard against Jiro Koizumi, he did not have the courage to kill Jiro Koizumi.

In this way, with the support of Daxia, Koizumi Jiro also managed to win over a large number of people.

At this time, Koizumi Jiro took a fancy to Kobayashi Yu and Maeda Shiyu. Especially Kobayashi Yu.

Koizumi Jiro couldn't explain why he valued this ordinary Yu Kobayashi. Maybe it was just eye contact.

Therefore, Koizumi Jiro wants to win over Kobayashi Yu to his side.
