Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 19: Employment pressure

All the ronin warriors who lived there stood aside, watching the fight from a distance. Only the boss looked at the broken wine bottles all over the floor with a distressed look.

   Li Xiao had always been on the defensive at the beginning, trying to figure out the opponent's swordsmanship, but the three wild warriors, taking into account the advantages of Li Xiao's height and arm length, did not dare to go too lightly for a while. Both parties are cautiously testing.

   Seeing Li Xiao's one against three disadvantages, Takeda Katsu Lai resolutely decided to draw his sword and score an opponent for Li Xiao. Li Xiao's pressure was light, and then he looked at the gap and used a knife to push back the samurai on the right, then turned and attacked the wild samurai on the left.

drink! drink! drink!

   Li Xiao cut three times in a row, and the opponent struggled to parry Li Xiao's offensive. Li Xiao's fourth knife suddenly changed its strength and wriggled the knife. The samurai sword in the opponent's hand flew away, Li Xiao unceremoniously flew a kick, relying on his height advantage, effortlessly kicked on the opponent's chin.

   For a while, fragments of teeth flew out of the opponent's mouth.

   After inflicting heavy damage on his opponent, Li Xiao turned around and used a knife to parry another wild warrior's blow from the back. After holding the knife, Li Xiao suddenly jumped forward and got close to the opponent's body.

   Li Xiao slammed his shoulders sideways and slammed his shoulders. This hand was also taught by the old cadre in the past, and it was considered a shoulder strike in Taijiquan, and it was dedicated to close hand-to-hand combat. When the opponent was hit by Li Xiao, the whole person fell apart and collapsed to the ground.

   The wild warrior, who was kicked in the chin by Li Xiao earlier, threw his mouth full of blood on the ground, and broke several big teeth, giving him a miserable appearance. The other four wild warriors were seriously injured by Li Xiao in one breath. Now there is only one person left, with a look of complete aura, facing the step by step of Li Xiao, Takeda Katsuyori, Yamamoto Kansuke and the three of them step by step, retreat hastily, until they put their back on the wood of the residence. On the wall.

   At this moment, the horrified look on his face overwhelmed all the samurai's self-esteem, and he yelled: "Ya Chudie."

   (A book friend pointed out that the male name should be called ‘Yamalu’, don’t care about him.)

   "Stop it all."

   At this time, the gate of the sojourn rushed in. The Zuqing soldiers pointed their guns at Li Xiao and the others, making a circle from the outside. Then a man in armor, who should be a leader, walked in and shouted: "Are you the ones who made trouble here? Put the katana down for me, otherwise I will be punished."

The other party's scream was quite powerful. The few wild samurai who had been beaten up and swollen, scrambled to the side, quickly threw the samurai sword aside, and assumed a good citizen's posture, and then the wicked first complained. Pointing to Li Xiao and the three of them unanimously, they said, "My lord, they were the first to make trouble."

"Asshole, did you let you talk?" The leader samurai cursed, and then they saw Takeda Katsuyai and the others not only not putting down the sword, but still indifferent. The tall samurai in the middle also showed his face. The smiley expression, isn't this an obvious mockery of yourself.

   "Bold, didn't you hear me?" The samurai yelled and drew the samurai sword from his waist.

   At this time, Yamamoto Kansuke turned around, facing the opponent, and said in a deep voice: "Audacious, are you a samurai who protects the security of the castle town?"

   The samurai's expression suddenly changed when Kansuke Yamamoto had an arrogant expression and the distinctive Takeda family pattern on their clothes.

   "It's Kansuke-sama." One of the foot soldiers suddenly looked very excited. Obviously, he recognized Yamamoto Kansuke. It should be because Kansuke himself had come to Gaotou City to build a castle before.

This samurai dared to doubt that the other party was Lord Shingen’s chief strategist, so he bowed and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Yamamoto-sama Kansuke, his subordinate Heizo Nishimura, it is the samurai who protects the security of the castle town. Please forgive me for offending.” After pressing his hand, the dozen or so soldiers put away the bamboo spears together.

   Yamamoto Kansuke waved his hand, then turned sideways and introduced him to Takeda Katsuyori: "You don't need to be present, this is the new city lord Suwa Katsurai-sama."

   "Oh, yes, Lord Suwa."

   After hearing this, this group of foot soldiers hurriedly knelt down to meet. They already knew about Takeda Katsuyai's coming to take over as Takato Castle. For them, Katsuyori Takeda will be their lord who will play for a lifetime, so he dare not neglect.

   There is a huge gap between the superior and inferior in Japan, so the obedience, or blind obedience, of the Japanese to the superior is very obvious and thorough. As a high-ranking person, Takeda Katsuyoshi's words can often make these soldiers with little brains go through fire and water.

  While living in the house, many wild warriors who had just been on the sidelines, when they knew that the young man in front of him was actually the lord of Gaoyuan City, they were all excited for a while.

Immediately five or six wild samurai rushed in front of Takeda Katsurai, knelt down with a puff, then buried their heads in the ground, and talked about each other, but they reported their name, what are their specialties, and then asked Takeda Katsurai. The lord of the city accepts them as samurai, but he can't be samurai, he can also be a handyman.

   "Master Suwa, please take me in."

   The Warring States Period in Japan is an era of succumbing to the upper limit. The number of famous masters who flourished for a while is like a cherry blossom withered in a blink of an eye. The demise of the master’s house meant that those samurai retainers who were paid a fixed salary were laid off one by one and lost their source of livelihood. The samurai who lost their main house were just wandering around as a ronin, looking for a good main house, and refused to find other jobs.

   This is the same as modern white-collar workers who are unemployed. They would rather squat at home than go to street stalls to sell vegetables.

  The chance of the ronin is to find a good master, or to wait for a certain daimyo to start a war that day. At this time, some warriors are usually recruited at zero hour to expand the number. This is their opportunity. If you perform well on the battlefield and cut a few more heads, you will have a great chance of being included as an official samurai by the daimyo. UU reading www.uukanshu. com This is also an opportunity.

If neither of these two opportunities are met, then some people will not be able to hold onto the samurai spirit and do some sneaky things. Therefore, many wild warriors have a very difficult life. They are too poor, except for a samurai sword. , Is no different from a beggar.

   Li Xiao looked at all this and couldn't help but feel the pressure of the current employment situation. It is conceivable that how many ronin and wild warriors all looked at the towering high-rise city from the window of the travel house, hoping to find a job there and get rid of the fate of wandering everywhere.

   Takeda Katsuyori listened to the praise of these ronin, and immediately became excited. As a new town lord, he was of course ready to refuse to come and use talents in an eclectic manner. But fortunately, there is also Yamamoto Kansuke, who is familiar with the situation. He said: "Everyone, Suwa-sama is the first town lord, and has not decided to hire a samurai. Everyone’s kindness is accepted. If the family decides to include samurai, he will definitely give priority to everyone. of."

   "Thank you, Mr. Kansuke." These samurai were somewhat disappointed when they heard the other party's words, but there is still a chance, and no one complains.

   Yamamoto Kansuke nodded, and said to the Takeda family samurai who was in charge of the castle town: "Okay, you will lead the way. Please take us to see Lord Akiyama."

   "Slowly."

   Just as the three of them were about to leave, suddenly from a corner of the sojourn, someone walked out to stop them with a drink. The light in the residence was very good from time to time. Li Xiao couldn't see the person's appearance. He saw the other person with his hands on his chest, a long and a short samurai sword inserted between his waist, and wearing straw sandals and white split-toe socks.

   The opponent suddenly pointed his finger at Li Xiao himself, and then said: "This samurai, I admire your swordsmanship, how about trying to compare it with you?"
