Sixty-seven, malicious wage demands v malicious wage arrears (5)
.The Edo Castle where Tokugawa Jijun lives is the most eye-catching landmark building in Oedo Yahoohachi Town.
Rows of colorful double-eaves brackets are like phoenixes spreading their wings, and the sky-shou pavilions as high as twelve floors stand like mountains. Countless carved beams and painted buildings with gold and silver are shining brightly in the sun, fully demonstrating the grand and domineering spirit of the Tokugawa family general who shocked the world. However, at the entrance of this Edo Castle, which was supposed to be solemn and majestic, there is a hustle and bustle of Jing Rui.
Tens of thousands of shogunate samurai gathered in the square in front of the castle, chanting banners and shouting slogans. The number of people was so large that it not only filled the entire square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, but also blocked several surrounding streets.
"Please speak out and make the decision for us poor warriors!"
Protesting the unreasonable stake of our salary owed to us”.
Say goodbye to hunger and reject poverty!”
Expel Western ghosts and animals and give me a bright world."
All the lowly merchants in the brigade will die!”
Kill all the untouchables who invaded our salaries!”
Waves of boiling sounds and increasingly fierce slogans have launched this lawless malicious wage demand campaign in full swing.
Many of the protesters were carrying the property robbed along the way, and the blade still had not yet dried blood.
Behind these warriors who were showing off their power was a tragic destruction belt that seemed to be a hurricane passing through. There were countless houses and shops that were tragically beaten and looted, the bodies of citizens who died unlimitedly, and the victims who were raped and humiliated in turn.
In this regard, the garrison troops in Edo Castle are naturally facing a great enemy.
The suspension bridge on the moat had been closed, and the gate wrapped in copper skin was closed tightly. The gongs and horns that called the police were tighter and more like that. A large number of high-ranking guards with distinctive armor were driven to the walls of the castle by the superiors. They had to force their bodies, which had been hollowed out by wine and were neglected for exercise for many years, drew their swords and sheaths with trembling and were on guard.
After hearing the crazy clamor outside, a small team of city management team members stationed in the castle pushed out the cannon with a gloomy face, brought in projectiles and injection bags, ready to fire and destroy the enemy at any time.
Helplessly, the general of this generation, "Ya Ming is an idiot with intact intelligence. He only knows how to eat, sleep and sleep in the highest place in the Tianshou Pavilion, and can't control anything at all. As for the senior officials in the shogun government office who can manage affairs, they have no host and decision to bring reinforcements. They have always been stalemate at emergency meetings. They can neither come up with a practical and wise countermeasure, nor do anyone dare to take on the responsibility of concessions or compromises or fire suppression. They can only drag them undyingly, and they may drag them until the castle falls, and they cannot draw any conclusions.
Seeing that the shogunate looked helpless, the samurai warriors became more arrogant and became more excited. The slogans they shouted became more and more excessive, and there were even some very bold people who found a long ladder from nearby houses and brought sacks for soil. Then they started to break ground and try to fill the narrow moat outside the castle, which was purely decorative, and then prepared to cross the river to erect a ladder, and climbed over the wall and rushed into the castle to "try the wrongs"!
If they were really allowed to break in, I am afraid that the Tokugawa shogunate, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, would have been destroyed before the imperial army reached Edo.
At this critical moment when the bloody conflict was about to reach, the dual voters of the goddess of wealth, Gorgeous Goddess of Magic, Mitsui, a high-powered Miss Ryuki Mitsui finally hurried back to the scene with a large number of thugs.
Just as she landed on the city wall, she and Feili exchanged their eyes and cast a superimposed buzzing technique. It seemed as if a string of thunder was buzzing in everyone's ears. The aggressive demonstrators in the square could not help but cover their ears with pain, and even weakened their legs and fell to the ground.
The original noisy waves followed by a while, and then they were silent for a while.
Mitsui Ryuki stood on the towering city tower, looking down at the tens of thousands of people under her feet with a cold expression, and at the same time, she spoke with amplification magic and announced:
"Everyone, General Kazunaga has always been in good health, and he is now feeling hot and cannot come out to meet him. Regarding the arrears of the Banner salary, the shogunate has its own plans and will not cut off your livelihood for no reason. As long as the financial situation is a little more abundant, it will be compensated one day. The shogunate can not worry about the previous matters. You should wait home and wait for peace of mind. Let's break up today."
Although his words seemed polite, his tone was quite cold, and even a faint feeling of contempt and disdain.
The so-called "you will not cut off your livelihood for no reason." It means that if the situation is urgent, you samurai, who are the samurai, will starve to help the shogunate. And how critical the current domestic situation is, it is well known.
As for "as long as the financial situation is a little more abundant, it will be made up one day." I am afraid that even if you wait until all the flag-building men who are not doing production starve to death, they will still be gone.
There is also the one "I won't care about it for the time being." If you understand it the other way around, isn't it just waiting for the future to settle the score?
Before these people could react from the trance, Mitsui Ryuki threw out the next bombshell.
She turned sideways and waved her hand gently behind her, and a large group of people were pushed out by the guards. They were tied up in all kinds of things, and their mouths were stuffed with linens. After being escorted to the wall, they pressed them down on the mercenaries in various places, and each of them assigned executioners, waiting for the slash of their heads.
Seeing this posture, everyone in the square was immediately confused. Mitsui Ryuki continued to explain with amplification magic.
"There are also orphans of the families of the fallen soldiers. The shogunate's originally kind-hearted pension money was colluded by the treacherous officials of the town pedestal office and wanted to embezzle and deduct it, which made a joke that each household only had two cents of pension! This not only damaged the face of the shogunate, but also shook the morale of the army and must not be let go easily. For this reason, the official immediately sent an urban management team to seize the two major educators in Edo Town, north and south, and led the town to follow, and captured all 275 officials below, and no one was left behind!!"
The protesters in the square were stunned for a moment, looking at each other in a flash, and then there was a lot of noise and discussion. Originally, the family of the new army formation of the shogunate who were crying at the end of the second one, were mostly rough and silent, and opened their eyes wide and waiting for Mitsui Ryuki to further deal with it.
And Mitsui Ryuki did not disappoint these women, children, elderly and weak.
"Now is a time of war, embezzlement of pensions is equivalent to rebellion and investment in the enemy, and should be severely punished. Therefore, all of them are executed here to be effective!"
The young girl, who seemed innocent and tender, just waved her hand with a cold face and wrote off hundreds of lives. With her order, dozens of bright steel knives fell heavily. With the splashing blood, people's heads fell from the city wall and smashed heavily at the feet of the protesters. After that, there was a second batch, the third batch of "possible blood slowly flowed down from the battlements of the city wall, spreading to the moat under the base of the wall, dyeing the wall bright red.
Because it was midsummer, just a few moments later, a large number of mosquitoes and flies were buzzing.
I witnessed with my own eyes that so many officials who were originally considered to be the best in the pursuit were actually killed in the blink of an eye like chopping melons and vegetables. Even the most lawless thugs were shaken for a while and their hands were weak and their hearts were so scared that the city was silent. After a long time, a few low sounds of air sucked out.
Although he had been on the battlefield many times and had seen many tragic scenes of flesh and blood flying, Feili stood by the city wall and watched for a while. He saw a group of prisoners wearing bright official uniforms being dragged over to beheaded, his heads were thrown down to the city, and the bodies had piled up on the city wall, and the sticky and smooth pool of blood slowly flowed to his feet. The smell of fishy smell came straight into his nose. He couldn't help but feel a sudden chill in his heart. Mitsui Ryuki, who was closer to the execution position, was wearing a brilliant and gorgeous golden robe, holding a golden scepter higher than himself in his hand. Standing in a pool of blood that could almost flood his feet, he still maintained a calm expression, and even a few faint smiles were hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, training a hard heart is the basic prerequisite for becoming a qualified politician," Feili couldn't help but secretly complain.
After intimidating everyone with bloody killing, the following is a rather "generous" comfort, of course, it is the generosity of others.
"All criminals involved in the case will confiscate their property, and they will be used exclusively for the purpose of remitting the survivors! Please also ask all the survivors to rush to the headquarters of the urban management team as soon as possible, and copy the property equally according to the number of people, as a supplement. Please note that this time is first come first served, and it will not be delayed if it expires!"
As soon as this was said, the relatives who had learned the good news immediately stopped crying. Even if some of them were standing behind them didn't hear it clearly, they couldn't help but ask forward. After a word of mouth, everyone knew it. The cheers came one after another, just like a roar of mountains and seas. Then they ran away one by one, without the mind to stay for a moment, for fear that their legs and feet would not be able to fall into good things.
Although the work of Edo Town is cumbersome and the work intensity is very high, and officials are often exhausted and ill. At least they are in charge of the largest city in the country, and the oil and water have always been rich. In the shogunate system, they are mostly hereditary positions. Those who can sharpen their heads into the town will become rich, and they will definitely be rich for the sake of wealth and infamous.
In any case, it is always very pleasant to share a small handful of people's money.
However, seeing such a big piece of pie falling from the world, it fell into his mouth. The samurai warriors who were originally shocked by the bloody killing soon turned red and cursed again, and firmly demanded that the shogunate have money now, otherwise they would rush in and "rescue General Tokugawa Ienamek who was detained by the brigade of business groups" and let him preside over justice.
Mitsui Ryuki is far from being as polite as before when dealing with these useless wastes, but because the remaining soldiers who died in the battle were not all gone, the deployed suppression staff has not yet been fully in place, so he can only watch indifferently with a cold face.
Unexpectedly, the people below looked at the young lady without saying a word for a long time, thinking that she was afraid of herself, and her words became more and more presumptuous.
"I said! This world is so difficult, I'm afraid it's because women are in power!"
"Yes, I've never had such an excessive thing before! I only have six months to support my fortune!"
Not bad, yin and yang are reversed. Beiji Sichen is definitely not a blessing for the country! Men are superior to women, which is the right way in the world! Women should go home to take care of their husbands and children, and don’t show up again, which will harm the country and the people.”
"It's not just Beiji Si Chen, this woman also believes in the evil gods of Western ghosts and animals. She became a voter. She has been harming the people of our country for several years with her father, who is the father of Xi Laozhong!"
, That's right. Look behind her, aren't the colorful guys who are just standard Western ghosts?"
As time goes by, the protesters' scoldings became increasingly unpleasant, and some slogans were even more radical than those of the anti-barbarians in Kyoto. It made people wonder whether their butts were sitting there. The so-called "Shengmien and Fighting Mie" were the only ones.
But these people were actually just shouting. It is obvious that they would not know whether there was a rusted "ancestral treasure sword" with the rust "ancestral treasure sword" that jumped over the moat with pointed wooden buildings at the bottom, crossed the thick wall as high as five floors, and attacked the Edo Castle, which was obviously already prepared. It is obviously impossible. Even if a few leading instigators jumped up and down, they would not be able to inspire the "brave spirit" of these useless people.
Moreover, Mitsui Ryuki is not a magnanimous person. He is not ready to easily forgive these guys who dare to offend him. Instead, he had the intention of killing the chicken and apologizing the monkey since the beginning. As soon as Feili stood behind her, he could vaguely hear a creepy sound of teeth grinding.
But, this group of bitches who remember not to be beaten will go to the room and untouched it if they don’t fight for three days! Humph, this girl doesn’t have such a good temper. She vomited out what I ate, took mine and sent it back, made up for what I owe me, and stole mine and handed over it. "If you can’t come out, fill it in with your life!"
The temperament determines the height. This newly promoted voter lady is still in the process of upgrading, with noise and waiting to be debugged...
Finally, after all aspects were almost done, the mobs outside who maliciously demanded wages were already howling so hard that their throats were dry and they could not continue. The sound gradually faded. Mitsui Ryuki then added a spell to her loudspeaker and spoke in a plain expression.
"All the people in the square are all loyal families who have served the shogunate for generations after the famous Wu family. Is that true?"
Hearing the unexpected inquiry, the protesters in the square met with each other. Time and Kong people answered.
Sanbing Longji didn't care about their reactions, but just continued to question them on his own.
"Your ancestors have been allowed to settle in this prosperous Edo Castle by the shogunate, enjoying the salary paid on time. Without hard work, you can eat and wear and wear food and clothing without worry. It has been hundreds of years since then. Is that true?
Listening to Mitsui Ryuki's tone, a messy buzzing began to spread out in the square.
"And now, rebellions broke out in all directions, wars and turmoil across the country are on the verge of collapse! You, those idle people living in Edo City, hope that the shogunate will misappropriate the only military expenditure and give up your salary first. If you don't give it, you will cause trouble, right?"
The chaotic buzzing seemed to have become even louder.
"Since that's the case, the shogunate has raised you for more than ten generations, so that you can respect your status and live a prosperous life for generations. And how can you do these "loyal and kind descendants" of the shogunate? Have you ever brought your own bow and horse to fight against the rebellion? Have you ever donated your family's wealth to support military supplies? Have you ever fulfilled your duties as a samurai? The shogunate treated you so well, but did you care about the survival of the shogunate?"
Speaking of this, Mitsui Ryuki couldn't help but raise his right hand excitedly, swept the crowd with his slender jade fingers, and scolded him sternly and sternly, wantonly ejaculate the long-awaited anger. In her opinion, if there were a few people below who still had a conscience, crying and regretting awakening because of this scolding, it would be even more perfect.
It is very unfortunate that the gap between reality and ideal is always as far away as heaven is from hell.
"Shut up! I just do nothing, I want the shogunate to give us free food and drink, so what? The salary of this flag-born warrior was the welfare that our descendants won for generations before, through life and death. Even the shogunate itself is an inheritance of our ancestors. How can you, the usurpant merchants, just take it away in a word? Everyone said, right?!!"
A demonstrator suddenly jumped out and retorted like this angrily, and there was a burst of cheers everywhere.
In fact, everyone knew that the shogunate had been destroyed by the sea, land and army, and most of the vassal states in all directions rebelled, and they had no soldiers and no money. Even the minimum title of righteousness was lost because of an imperial edict from the court. They were really embarrassed and declining to the limit.
Seeing that the court had already gained a foothold in the Western Kingdom and had gathered tens of thousands of troops, it was possible to fight eastward at any time. If he had to move out the last little military expenditure to accumulate his salary, the shogunate would have to wait for death.
But it is related to the source of life for so many of them, so they had to close their eyes and pretend that they didn't see it. It would be a day to delay it. As for what happens in the future, "the creatures like loyal ministers and righteous men are rare resources in any era. These flag-based warriors are not sages, so who can control so many?
Therefore, before coming out to demonstrate and cause trouble, most of them had already been determined. As long as the imperial court's downfall army did not enter Edo Castle for a day, the shogunate could not shorten the noble samurai samurai's salary every month!
As a result, Mitsui Ryuki waited on the city tower for a long time, but only heard an angry roar. No one felt ashamed of his own laziness, mediocrity and incompetence. These people completely refused to reflect on their own mistakes. They should not say anything about loyalty and dedication in front of them. Because they would not listen to anything, no matter how they said it, it would be in vain!
"Okay" I underestimated you too much. I didn't expect that I could be so shameless. "Very good", really good."
Faced with such a terrible situation, Mitsui Ryuki finally lost her patience. The seemingly bright and brilliant smile on her little face, which reflected the veins blooming on her forehead and the slightly trembling tone, made her feel like she was about to burn, shrouded in the dark flames that soared into the sky," which made Feiri, who was close to her, couldn't help but tremble again.
Then, the completely blackened Mitsui Ryuki no longer had the mind to tell these people that they were shouting. But in the end, he glanced at them slightly, then raised his golden wand and pointed to the sky, shot out a magic firework, and gave a cold order to massacre in his mouth.
"Since the shogunate has spent more than half a year every year and is supported by you for more than ten generations, but is still regarded as enemies, there is no need to keep you ungrateful wolves now! Hahaha, you ignorant scum, cry, shout, and then die!"
"Dudu Dudu
Then, a strange military flag that looked like a bear's underwear was raised between the streets and alleys and houses, and ominous whistles and steps came from all directions, rising and falling one after another, deeply shocking everyone's hearts.
Immediately afterwards, the suspension bridge of Edo Castle also fell down, and from the open doorway, groups of fully armed musketeers surged out. Judging from their faces and costumes, except for a few urban management team members, most of them were exotic mercenaries who had been fighting for a long time. Although their clothes were a bit ragged and dirty, everyone was full of murderous aura with a substantial amount of murderous aura.
Rows of bright bayonets like stars were lifted up high, pointing directly to the crowd that was already in chaos in the square, making everyone present feel cold and intimidated.
Feili, with a few magicians, hovered over the square on brooms, and condescendingly coordinated and directed the troops to operate in an orderly manner, and prepared to snipe the powerful masters who might be mixed with them.
The war operation of the Giant Bear Legion in the Japanese island country was officially launched, although their opponents were just a group of unorganized and undisciplined mobs who claimed to be samurai as wasteful people.”
