On July 30, Li Zhi stood on the castle tower of Sunfu Castle and looked at the 50,000 thieves and warriors standing all over the castle.
Fifty thousand warriors withdrew from the mountains a few days ago. Several years of life as thieves made them very embarrassed. They were all very thin. The original gorgeous armor on their bodies was broken, but there were no craftsmen to repair it for them. They looked miserable.
Look.
Moreover, the samurai were a little ashamed because they surrendered to the enemy. Before they entered the mountain, they fought with determination to the end. However, the samurai underestimated the corrosion of the will by the suffering life. Maybe they could have a disembowelment without hesitation, but
But I can't stand hiding in the mountains like a mouse.
Several years of hard life are like heavy snow in winter, which has crushed the proud backs of the samurai little by little. They are samurai, and they are too used to walking on the streets wearing silk silk fabrics and enjoying the sense of superiority that the common people give way to. They are samurai.
I am so used to giving orders to the servants at home and sitting in front of the courtyard drinking sake.
However, in the mountains, there was nothing but hunger and cold. The warriors huddled in caves and resisted. How could there be any dignity of nobility?
A few years later, Li Zhi's rule in Japan was as solid as a rock. Fifty thousand Tiger Soldiers enforced military control in various places, and tax collection and security were running very smoothly. There were no cracks due to the resistance of the warriors in the mountains. Japan's
The people have gradually become accustomed to the demise of the Japanese country and the fate of Japan as a province of the Ming Dynasty.
And 50,000 troops were stationed in Japan, which also eliminated the possibility of samurai fighting out of the mountains.
The warriors increasingly felt that holding on in the mountains was meaningless.
So after Li Zhi issued the surrender order, the warriors came out one after another and surrendered to Li Zhi.
However, even though these warriors looked desolate, the appearance of fifty thousand warriors standing together in armor was still quite powerful.
Li Zhi looked at the old man standing in front of all the warriors.
The old man is the leader of the samurai, the famous Japanese prince Sanada Nobuyuki. This old man has become so old that his beard and hair are all white. He is holding a cane in his hand, standing hunched in front of all the samurai, with a look on his face.
Sad and helpless.
Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "Let the leaders of these warriors come up."
After a while, Sanada Nobuyuki led four samurai leaders to the castle tower.
Seeing Li Zhi, Sanada Nobuyuki led four generals to kneel on the ground and shouted loudly: "The wild samurai Sanada Nobuyuki and his four generals have met His Highness."
Li Zhi sat on a chair and said, "Will the Sanada family stop resisting?"
Sanada Nobuyuki said: "Your Highness is willing to hire the samurai in the mountains and let the samurai go to the battlefield to establish their merits, so they have no intention of continuing to resist. Even if Sanada Nobuyuki orders the samurai with his personal power, he cannot restore the samurai's faded ambition."
Li Zhi looked at Nobuyuki Sanada and said, "Are you quite helpless? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Sanada Nobuyuki sighed: "The country is dead, I am old and powerless, and the river flows eastward."
Li Zhi laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill your children and grandchildren with your helpless attitude?"
Sanada Nobuyuki's face was stern, and he said: "It is human nature to feel sad when a country is destroyed. Your Majesty persuades people with virtue, and he will never destroy my family just because of a few words from Sanada Nobuyuki."
Li Zhi sneered and looked at the samurai behind Sanada Nobuyuki.
"You also came out and surrendered. Japan no longer has any resistance. It is completely destroyed now. Do you have the consciousness to forget Japan and survive as a Ming warrior?"
When the four generals behind Sanada Nobuyuki heard Li Zhi's words, they all burst into tears and sobbed silently.
The four generals probably felt that their appearance was too unseemly, so they quickly kowtowed to Li Zhi and hid their tear-filled faces on the tatami.
"Your Highness, we have awakened!"
Li Zhi looked at the appearance of these warriors and was silent.
Sanada Nobuyuki said slowly: "Your Highness, don't worry, we samurai of Japan...province keep their word. Since we have surrendered to the king, we have the consciousness to be Ming Dynasty's ministers. Although we can't help but feel sad at this moment, since we have already
If you pledge your allegiance to His Highness, you will definitely accept your new identity, forget about Japan, and fight for the cause of your Majesty."
"No matter how dangerous the battlefield is, we will rush to the front line and use our martial arts and wisdom to fight the enemy until the death."
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, let me see your martial arts."
Li Zhi waved his hand, and fifty strong soldiers from the nominal battalion came out with wooden swords and challenged the samurai standing there under the castle tower.
Li Zhi's translator shouted loudly: "Fifty warriors came out to compete with His Highness's soldiers in martial arts."
The warriors looked at each other, and finally the fifty warriors who were closest to the Yizi Camp soldiers came out. They took the wooden swords from the Yizi Camp soldiers, bowed to the soldiers, and began to compete in martial arts.
.
The lower part of the castle tower suddenly became lively, with the sound of a hundred people fighting each other coming and going, and the sound of wooden swords clashing with each other everywhere.
As they fought, some people struck each other with wooden swords, and the winner was decided.
The final result was that Yiziying won seventeen and lost thirty-three.
Basically, the regular samurai won. Those who lost to the Yizi camp were mostly lower-level samurai who had been promoted from farmers.
After the results came out, the soldiers of the Yizi Camp were a little angry. As the first unit to join, the soldiers of the Yizi Camp currently have a higher status than the samurai. Losing the test in front of people with lower status than themselves, let the Yizi Camp
The soldiers felt that their faces were dull.
Li Zhi stood on the castle tower and applauded the warriors' victory.
"Excellent in martial arts. He is worthy of being a professional soldier who has practiced martial arts since he was a child."
The four samurai generals behind Sanada Nobuyuki raised their heads when they saw Li Zhi praising the samurai, and looked at Li Zhi expectantly.
Li Zhi said: "We are about to attack the Yue Kingdom, and the warriors will fight in the mountains and dense forests. If the warriors can succeed in this war, I guarantee that you will all live a life of white rice and fish."
After conquering the entire Indochina Peninsula, I guarantee that each of you will be allocated land in the Indochina Peninsula and become a landlord."
Hearing Li Zhi's words, the eyes of the warrior generals lit up.
Li Zhi's words have given the warriors everything they want. Eating rice, eating fish, and becoming landowners are the ultimate goals of warrior life. For this goal, warriors can die without hesitation.
"I am willing to die for His Highness!"
Sanada Nobuyuki led four samurai generals to prostrate themselves on the ground, expressing their complete surrender.
Li Zhi waved his hand, and dozens of translators ran down the castle tower and conveyed Li Zhi's order to the queue of 50,000 warriors.
When the warriors heard the translator's message, their faces were all flushed with excitement. The shame of surrender and surrender was gradually replaced by the excitement of a bright future. They all opened their eyes wide and knelt on the ground excitedly, facing Li Zhi.
The castle tower where it is located is prostrate.
Li Zhi held on to the railing of the castle tower platform, nodded and said: "The military morale can be used, and the Indo-China Peninsula can be obtained!" 8)
