Chapter 144: Substituting the Heaven for the Sun (2)
On the 16th, fierce gunfire rang out in the Mitsui Club, and the final violent explosion made the citizens even more panic-stricken.
What is not known is that the New Japan Society suffered extremely tragic losses in OViet. Not only dozens of cadres in the Mitsui Club, but also one of its student troops was ambushed at the first stop of entering OViet.
, this armed force composed of military school students and active Japanese officers and soldiers, with a total of more than 800 people, was almost completely destroyed.
Yamamoto's beloved grandson Oshima Sukeichi was also in this team and died from a stray bullet.
However, Lu Ming was already in Yoshida Castle at this time, and his identity was a close friend of Master Ueto Ashin, who was fourth in the line of succession to the Ueto family.
Ueto Axin's father is the first in line of succession. Axin has two older brothers. The eldest brother has no heirs yet. Therefore, Axin is ranked fourth in the line of succession of the Ueto family.
.
Yoshida Territory and Otsutsu Territory are not adjacent to each other. Taking a train from Otsutsuki to Yoshida Castle requires passing through the other two territories.
Lu Ming came to Yoshida Castle nominally to help the Kawamoto Group and Yoshida Group achieve reconciliation and end the war between the two organizations.
In fact, Yoshida Castle not only houses the largest toy manufacturing factory of the Ueto Foundation, but it is also the place of imprisonment for Erika's grandfather, former Prime Minister Ashikaga.
As for the latter, Yamamoto hid the former Prime Minister of Ashikaga under house arrest in Yoshida, but few people knew about it. Even the former Prime Minister of Ashikaga may not know where he was.
…
Haruoka Shrine is located halfway up the Haruoka Mountain on the outskirts of Yoshida City. Even the Yoshida-gumi would not have thought that the owner of the shrine, the great monk Kamiyoshi Hirokuni, who is also the owner of Haruoka Mountain, had a close relationship with the Kawamoto-gumi.
Two to three hundred people from the Kawamoto group came and all lived in the shrine.
Although they came to negotiate peace and had Mr. Ueto Ashin as the guarantor, the Kawamoto group was naturally prepared to go to war if they were attacked.
The Yoshida group would never have thought that among the two to three hundred ronin of the Kawamoto group, there were ten Qing'e and thirty red feathers in disguise. From Lu Ming's perspective, this was the first time he had led such a powerful individual force.
Entering enemy territory, the target will certainly not be the little Yoshida group.
Haruoka Shrine is located halfway up the beautiful Mount Haruoka. It has a tall mahogany torii gate and various buildings looming in the green forest. It is not only a place of prayer full of solemn religious colors, but also a place for spiritual cultivation.
place.
At this time, in a quiet room next to the green bamboo forest, a handsome young man wearing a snow-white kimono and a tall noble hat was sitting on his knees opposite Lu Ming. He was Mr. Ashin.
His retro outfit in this shrine is really stunning.
However, the arrogance on his face lingered.
Deep down, he looked down on the Central Asian man in front of him.
In Aoyue, Lu Ming spent a few days making friends with him, and the two quickly became "good friends".
However, each other knows that the other is using them and wants to get something from them, and they both believe that they will definitely win in the end.
"We have made an appointment with the Yoshida team. Team leader Nobuo Yoshida will meet with the leader of Jinguji Temple tomorrow." Master Ashin sipped tea elegantly.
In fact, there is a saying that he is the illegitimate son of the royal family. I don’t know whether it is true or not.
Lu Ming smiled: "Thank you, Brother Ashin, I asked you to mediate, thank you for your hard work!"
Mr. Ashin smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Zhang." He looked around.
Lu Ming knew that he was looking at the absence of Jinguji Hyoki. One of his reasons for participating in this matter was to fall in love with Jinguji Hyoki.
Of course, if the Yoshida group and the Kawamoto group can be reconciled, it will also be of great benefit to the young man's reputation and prestige.
In addition, he also wanted to see what his intentions were for deliberately befriending him.
He felt that his intelligence was crushing him.
"Zhang Jun, I take my leave!" Mr. Ashin stood up gracefully, with his long sleeves fluttering, very much like the ancients and famous officials.
He didn't see Jinguji Hyoki from beginning to end and didn't ask any questions. He didn't care at all.
Lu Ming sent Axin out of the house. As for the soldier princess of Jingu Temple, she was discussing matters with the great monk Shenji.
It is clear that the great monk Kamiyoshi is not on good terms with the Kawamoto-gumi, but has some connection with Jinguji Hyohime.
…
Yoshida Castle is a very traditional Japanese city. Unlike Okutsu, it is severely self-isolated, but the scenery is beautiful at night, with red lanterns, blooming cherry blossoms, and traditional Japanese shops forming a beautiful picture.
Lu Ming also wore a kimono in order not to attract attention, but there are still subtle differences between the Okutsu kimono and the Yoshida kimono.
Therefore, Lu Ming and the dozen or so Kawamoto-gumi ronin following him were soon blocked in the middle of the street by dozens of Yoshida ronin.
As if they were facing a formidable enemy, the Okutsu Ronin drew their samurai swords and surrounded Lu Ming.
Taken Nakagawa next to Lu Ming was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "We have an agreement with the Yoshida group and a temporary truce!"
The leader, Ronin Yoshida, spat and jabbered a few words.
Nakagawa Ken was stunned and whispered: "Sir, they are not from the Yoshida group!"
From a distance, it seemed that two patrolmen were walking this way, but when they saw the situation here, they turned around and left.
The merchants in the shops on both sides were so frightened that they closed their stalls.
Just as Ken Nakagawa's face changed color, Lu Ming pointed to the store next to him and entered the store first.
The other Okutsu ronin slowly retreated and stood guard at the door of the shop.
The shop owner, who was collecting the fruits displayed in front of the shop, was on the verge of tears.
No one noticed, but the shop owner fled back to the shop with a sad face. When he passed by Lu Ming, he quickly stuffed a small paper roll into Lu Ming's hand.
Over there, Yoshida Ronin pressed forward step by step, surrounding the entrance of the store, and drew their shining samurai swords.
Seeing a life-and-death fight about to take place, the leader, Ronin Yoshida, didn't know what he thought of and shouted twice.
The Yoshida Rongrants sheathed their swords one after another. The leader laughed twice, said something in a contemptuous tone, spit on the ground, and all his companions also spit, and then left laughing.
Without Nakagawa Ken's translation, he knew that the other party was saying that these cowards were so scared that it was not worth using the knife.
All the Oyue warriors looked normal, and when they saw the enemy retreating, they sheathed their swords one after another.
Lu Ming nodded inwardly, Jingu Temple's performing arts team was exceptionally well-trained, and was not comparable to ordinary gangsters who were brave and fierce.
…
It was late at night when Lu Ming wandered around before he turned around. He encountered several waves of provocations. Among them, a group of Yoshida ronin actually came up to take action. As a result, several people were chopped down in an instant, and the rest were scared to death.
In the quiet room, Lu Ming slowly placed the small note in the oil lamp and burned it.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ming gradually lost his mind and started issuing orders in Montenegro based on the latest information.
There is no need to bring a radio station with you, the headquarters will synchronize with your information immediately. Even the communication level in the 21st century in the previous life is far from being as unpredictable as it is now.
