.Twenty-six, the melancholy of both sides of the front, Renxiao: Nianku, in late May, Hiroshima, the shogunate attacking army front base camp

A large number of gloomy black clouds pressed over from the horizon, with a few low thunder sounds, but I couldn't feel even a trace of cool breeze.

The air soaked with water vapor is stuffy and sticky, making people feel difficult to breathe and almost breathless.

Shinaka Mitsui Ginji, a shogunate old face, stood in the open space outside his camp, looking at the bay not far away. Under the dark cloudy sky, dark black waves rolled and rolled from time to time. The huge waves like hills rushed all the ships of all sizes in the port, shaking back and forth like drunks, as if one was not careful, it would be buried in the foaming waves.

These ships in the port were temporarily requisitioned by the shogunate army to facilitate the delivery of military supplies to the front line. However, since the shogunate fleet was completely wiped out in Kumanotan, the sea control power of the Xiangdo Inland Sea changed hands immediately, but now they had to shrink into the port of Hiroshima, almost completely unable to move.

Looking at these old sailboats floating on the sea like garbage, Mitsui Ginji, the supreme commander of the shogunate army, was extremely depressed.

The plum rain season is approaching, and the weather at Guangmu Base Camp has become more and more stuffy and humid. Whether it is day or night, there is always a smell of mold and rot in the air, which makes it very difficult for him to be used to being pampered.

If you are still staying in your own residence in Edo Castle or Osaka Castle, Mitsui Ginji will definitely choose to hold a cool party bathed in the bright moonlight in the cool courtyard with gurgling springs. You can taste various fresh fruits and exquisite pastries with your relatives and friends, and enjoy wonderful sumo wrestling, No drama or Kabuki performances.

At this moment, he had to live in a simple camp with a smell of earth, and endured mosquitoes. Dingji and heat waves invaded Hiroshima Castle was mostly collapsed by the big typhoon not long ago. Even the castle town became a water town because of the seawall breaking. The shogunate army was forced to transfer the camp to a hill in the suburbs, and the living and supply conditions became worse.

Without warning, waves of sharp pain began to come from his fan and knees, as if the rheumatism that he had suffered in recent years was about to be done again. For a moment, Mitsui Ginji actually smiled bitterly and gasped. He struggled to find a folding bench in a small stool and sat down on the spot. Then he felt a series of overwhelming pain, almost half about to tear every inch of his skin and every bone.

If I had known that it would be like this miserable appearance, why would I come here to suffer?

He grinned and thought so. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his expression.

Judging from his appearance, Mitsui Ginji, who is fifty years old this year, seems to be a tall, majestic and friendly Ai Nakashi. In fact, it is indeed almost the same. Long before he actually entered the political stage of the shogunate, he was an ordinary rich merchant living in the brigade city, and he had the name of "Yi merchant" among the citizens who were happy and dispersed and helped the poor and help the poor.

Although many people are attacking Mitsui Ginji because "father is noble by daughter". It is entirely because Mitsui Ryuhime was elected as a voter who was selected as wealth and trade goddess Aka Jin. He was able to rise step by step in the shogunate and finally even get into the position of Xi Laozhong." But it is undeniable that Mitsui Ginji's good reputation in the past was also one of the important factors for his successful rise.

As a businessman, he took over the world's power. When Mitsui Ginji had just climbed to this position, he was indeed full of confidence and joy all day long, thinking about how he should leave a rich mark in history.

However, to this day, the initial pride and excitement that had been lost in him had long disappeared, and replaced by a feeling of fatigue and worry that was so rich that it could not be more intense.

Because, the Edo Shogunate is still polite to describe it as an external and internal troubles.

.

.,

Unlike the ancient empire with centralized power opposite the sea, the shogunate center does not have absolute rights in the Japanese island country that implements the feudal system. If it can truly suppress many vassal states, it will be considered a great success. Therefore, how to differentiate and disintegrate the cooperation and connections between various vassal states and maintain the absolute advantage of the central government is the top priority that any generation of shogunate must be cautious about.

However, although the current brigade of merchants has successfully usurped the actual authority of the shogunate, it cannot inherit the huge prestige that Tokugawa family ruled the country for hundreds of years. In the past, the appearance of fighting and conflicting with each other, the genealogy and relatives, are gradually unified and integrated under the banner of the samurai through the secret connection of the Kyoto court. Although the shogunate and the Naserel Far East Army are doing their best to destroy this unfavorable direction, the overall trend is still difficult to reverse. Since the moment of usurping power with external forces, the Daguan Merchant has become the public enemy of the samurai nationwide.

The more terrifying problem is the extreme decline of military talents. Although it inherited the entire bureaucratic organization of the shogunate, the law of heroes appearing in the war years and the law of more food and food in the peaceful seasons seems to be reflected in the Edo Shogunate: the most of the samurai who were banned by the shogunate and "raising" in Edo Castle for hundreds of years were either degenerate and only know how to eat, drink, play and enjoy life, or are too poor to practice martial arts. They must do some crafts such as weaving straw sandals and baskets all day to make a living. Moreover, out of resistance to the usurping of the real power of the shogunate by the brigade of the gang, in the case of a crisis, the reliability of these samurai warriors is probably questionable.

If it is easy to fall from a peaceful and prosperous era to a war-torn era, it is barely easy; but if it is necessary to make foodies evolve into heroes in an instant, it will be too difficult. Therefore, once a large-scale war breaks out, the shogunate will immediately face the embarrassment of no one to be available.

Mitsui Ginji did not think of going to the war in person when he attacked the Changzhou rebel party. However, the shogunate had not launched any military affairs for two or three hundred years, and he forgot how to march and fight from top to bottom. Although several "military artsists" with great reputation among the people came to clamor for self-recommendation, just look at these people's wonderful "military works" as if they were fantasy myths, which would completely dispel any rational politicians.

So, several old Chinese from businessmen were frowning and thrust around with a frown, but finally they were shocked to find that Mitsui Ginji, who had run an escort agency when he was young and led a team to attack bandits and refugees, was actually the person with the richest military experience among the entire Muhui senior management...

Considering that the manpower and material resources consumed in this war are extremely huge, it can even be said to be related to the future and destiny of the shogunate, it is hard to feel relieved if you don’t stare at it personally. Therefore, Mitsui Ginji just hesitated for a while, and then he agreed in a sloppy manner.

However, since the war broke out, all Mitsui Ginji received was bad news and bad news: the Battle of Kumanotan was defeated by the Irono Ginshan, the Okura family fell, the Western Route Army collapsed, the Satsuma family made an anti-war announcement, the Gyeonggi area was robbed rice, the Western Route Army resisted recruitment, the Southern Route Army was in conflict and mutiny, and the armies surrounded by all sides were all talking about attack! Before, they were defeated by the Jingyuan family. To this day, the Shogunate siege army has not yet stepped into the Changshu family!

This is simply a naked record of the shogunate's face in front of the world!

Even the middle army gathered by the elite shogunate forces, the situation is not very ideal now. It can even be said to be a very tragedy. Not long after leaving Edo Castle, the quarantine officer accepted bribes and purchased inferior moldy rice. This caused 70% of the entire army to be poisoned from food, and changed from armed parade to diarrhea along the way. Then he encountered a typhoon in Hiroshima and was forced to give up the barracks and castles, and instead stayed in the wilderness without any cover. Later, he received bad news about the riots in the rear and had to distribute some of his troops to quell the rebellion.

All of this made the poor Mr. Ginji Mitsui's liver fire, irritable, anxious, insomnia, and his body was in a sub-health state for a long time. The strange defeat that he encountered today made the old man feel angry for a while and almost fainted on the spot.

Only, the Secret Demon Yilong. Ten Soldiers in the Shochi, you two are really capable and capable! In just one hour, I reimbursed a total of 3,000 troops! God, even three thousand pigs, I will definitely not catch them in one hour. You two are worse than pigs. Why haven’t you apologized for me?!”

In front of Mitsui Ginji, two shogunate generals were tiptoed to kneel in the muddy grass, covered in sweat, but their heads were lowered and their heads were silent, almost not even dared to breathe out.

This mysterious demon Yilong and Takenaka Shibuwei are two favorite generals under Mitsui Ginji. One of them is in charge of cavalry and the other is in charge of infantry, which is almost the only one who is in charge of Lord Xi Laozhong.

bladder.

The mysterious magic dragon, the mysterious magic dragon, is ferocious and has a short and fat figure. His original name is Zamuhe. He claims to be the chief of a Tukan tribe. He has been proficient in riding and shooting since he was a child. He has led many people to defeat the border garrison of the Xianglong Empire. However, because his tribe was defeated and annexed by Timur Khan, he also offended the Xianglong Empire and did not dare to defect to him. He was forced to cross the sea to exile in Japan, relying on performing riding acrobatics in the circus.

.

Later, this person was attracted by the keen eye of Ginji Mitsui. Not only did he arrange for him to inherit the name of the mysterious demon family of a certain samurai who had no successor, he also included the new army of the Shogunate to act as an instructor, using the tactics of nomadic peoples to help the Shogunate train cavalry.

The Secret Demon Yilong was indeed loyal to Mitsui Ginji. The cicada spirit was very committed to purchasing excellent horses, but also personally guided breeding and castration. He even slept in the stable for many years to protect the war horses from being harmed by pests. However, for this reason, rumors emerged that this person's sexual orientation was serious. The so-called "When people live and sleep together, aren't they beasts?

So, his colleagues who like gossip gave him a "secret demon beast" nickname, "the profound meaning contained in it is self-evident.

As for another Master Takenaka Ten Bingwei, this is even more amazing. He is the descendant of the famous military advisor Takenaka Ban Bingwei in the Warring States Period.

It is said that the Ten Bingwei of the Takenaka have been familiar with the ancestral military strategy since he was a child. He can speak well at the age of seven or eight, and he can refute his elders speechless at the age of teenagers. Therefore, he is quite arrogant and arrogant. He even regards himself as the most wise general in the world. When he talks to others about heroic generals in ancient and modern times, he calls him "Sunny Gua" and denounces him greatly. He is nicknamed "Guagua in Bamboo" because this person is so arrogant that he is boundless.

Mitsui Ginji was originally a businessman and had some knowledge of samurai kendo, but if he mentioned riding skills and military tactics, he would be completely ignorant. After occasionally receiving the assistance of these two "experts", he naturally trusted him and often consulted the opinions of the Secret Demon Yilong and Takenaka Shibuwei.

This time, the Central Army was stationed in Guangwu for a long time. The Changzhou vassal rebels were at first to strictly guard against Yizhou, but later they gradually dispatched small groups of troops to infiltrate and harass. Today, there was a sudden Malay report saying that two Changzhou warships escorted several troops to transport ships, which had arrived in the waters near Hiroshima and were wandering some barren beach, as if they had the intention of landing and attacking.

Mitsui Ginji, who was suffering from rheumatism, was shocked and quickly ordered the Secret Demon Yilong and Takenaka Ten Soldiers, Weihuo, to lead three thousand infantry and cavalry to fight the enemy. Soon, another poster came to report that there were only more than 400 landing troops, and the equipment was poor, so it could be easily pacified. Mitsui Ginji was slightly relieved. He thought that there would be a good news today.

Unexpectedly, after the evening, the "secret demon beast" and the "Guagua in the bamboo" actually fled in a hurry with a few personal guards. Most of the three thousand soldiers and horses disappeared. Mitsui Ginji was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking, and then he was so angry that one Buddha left his body, and the two Buddhas finally couldn't help but jumped to Zhi and cursed him endlessly.

But, Lord Mitsui. It’s not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy is too cunning!”

After finally seeing a gap, the mysterious demon Yilong hurried over and complained, "Biyi led the cavalry to the beach first, and the enemy was still continuing to transport the soldiers with small boats. According to the ancient method of attacking half-ferry, Beiyi immediately rode his horse and spear and led the team to charge. Unexpectedly, these Changzhou rebels had not yet fully arrived. They had already dug the trapped horse pit. "The cavalry of the Wu army was unable to advance and retreat, and was shot by the enemy soldiers. The enemy ships were violently bombarded, and finally they were forced to retreat in all directions. Beiyi could not capture many troops, so he could only come back alone."

"Absurd! Where did you get the trap? It's obviously something you don't know!"

Mitsui Ginji was so angry that he hit him hard with a folding fan in his hand, "I've asked someone just now. Most of the beaches in this area are hard and can ride on horses calmly. But the only thing is that sandy beach is loose and soft. There are many pits, and once the horse's hooves sink, it's hard to pull them up again. "Are you stupid, you even have a scout?"

But, Lord Mitsui, I’m all the ones who have caused great harm to the Secret Demon!”

Seeing this, the Ten Bingwei of Takenaka hurriedly shirked the responsibility. He led 2,600 infantrymen on the edge of the beach. Unexpectedly, the cavalry of the Secret Demon suddenly turned around and ran from the battlefield. The army in the lower army was unable to react for a moment and was disbanded. Then, in the condition of disorderly command, he was injured and fainted. When he woke up, he was carried back to the base camp."

"As far as I heard, you said it was basically good, but you just missed two

.

Mitsui Ginji rolled his eyes helplessly and raised two fingers, "First, you actually went to the front line in a sedan chair. This will obviously make a big joke, and it will also cause extreme disgust of soldiers; secondly, even the deputy general was not appointed. So after you fainted until you were even gloriously killed in battle, who should you let the commander take over? Or are you completely self-centered and never thought of this question at all

Speaking of this, he, a half-baked handsome man, finally couldn't help but rub the beginning and almost whined with his throat.
