Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 36: Recruit Ronin

A residence in the castle town of Takato Castle.

   Since that day, Takeda Katsuyoshi, Li Xiao, Yamamoto Kansuke, after fighting a few wild warriors here. Not only did the business of this small sojourn not be depressed because of this, on the contrary, more ronin lived in the sojourn, making the business booming.

   There is a rumor among these ronin. They believe that the reason Takeda Katsurai came to drink is because he fell in love with the 16-year-old daughter of the sojourn boss. As a result, under such far-fetched enthusiasm, those who have been unemployed for a long time boiled their blood.

  There is always a hope in their hearts that they can see the Lord Takeda Katsuyori again here, and they can find an opportunity here to take on the role of Suwa's samurai.

   The lobby of the residence is now full of seats, and the ronin are talking slang from various places and chatting about the rumors they have seen. Among them, they boast about their past bravery in order to make others look at themselves. Some people also talk about emotions, think of the defeated master, the master who committed suicide in the past, and their own arduous wandering career, and suddenly they can't help but leave a few drops of so-called heroic tears.

  More roncoons sat silently at the wine table, holding a jug, and a plate of dried radishes, drinking in small sips. At that time, Japanese materials were very scarce, and rice brewed wine was quite expensive in Japan. As the unemployed, these ronin would naturally not dare to learn Wu Song's three bowls but drink heavily.

   They raised their heads from time to time, looking at the castle tower of Takato Castle from the window of their residence, looking forward to the life of a samurai for a while, and then sighed long.

   In the middle, a few ronin riding drunk, dancing like three points, seven points out of shape can dance, the posture is very funny, but it makes everyone laugh from time to time.

   When the atmosphere in the residence was very strong, the curtain at the door was pulled apart, and two ronin came in again, and most of the people in the residence immediately focused on these two people.

The first Ronin has a burly figure. In the Japanese Warring States period, which is only 1.5 meters tall, this person is undoubtedly taller. Others have a head. Next is his katana. Compared to other ronin’s katana. In other words, his katana looks broad and thick, and although this person has a full face and a beard and looks very rough, it can be seen that the actual age is very young.

  The other Ronin looked much thinner, and his lips were pale and his complexion was very depressed.

   "Please bring two bowls of hot rice soup."

   The Ronin with the thick samurai sword spoke to the sojourner boss, his voice sounded a little rough.

   The boss of Sojourner knew that the two ronin in front of him were shy people in his pocket, but when he saw the other person carrying such a big katana, he didn't speak much, nodded and followed suit.

   "Sheng Meng, thank you for your care along the way, Suganuma no longer exists, what's the point of living alone?" the depressed Ronin said frustratedly.

The Ronin with the thick samurai sword shook his head and said: "His lord is still alive, please don't be discouraged. This action by Osamu Imagawa has completely deprived him of his popularity. Nishi Mikawa Matsudaira Motoyasu has become self-reliant. Imagawa’s family is helpless if he doesn’t take him. I think there will be Matsuhira Yuanyasu as the first example, and there must be a second and a third."

   Then the Sojourner boss brought two bowls of rice soup. Although there were only a few rice flowers, the two of them gobbled them up.

A bowl of rice soup does not solve the problem of hunger and fullness. The frustrated Ronin lowered his voice and said, "Sheng Meng, thank you for your care along the way. Right now we have run out of money. This is the territory of the Takeda family, Takeda. I belong to an alliance with the Imagawa family, and there may be fine works by the Imagawa family, so I must leave as soon as possible to Xisanhe, maybe where I can find my father. You and I will break up here."

The Ronin with the thick samurai sword shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I have nowhere to go. I will accompany you to Nishi Mikawa. Just meet Saburo from the Matsudaira family. Is there a rumored share? Courage, if it’s true, Katsushika Island will work on him.” While the two were talking, the curtains of the residence were opened again. If the Ronin with a thick katana can be called a burly, then The height of the person in front of him made all the Ronin even more eye-catching. However, the other party is not a ronin. He is wearing an exquisite black small red silky armor, and a long and one short two handles are inserted around his waist. The attitude is extraordinary.

As soon as this person entered the door, he glanced at everyone from left to right, and the original Ronin with the thick katana was horrified in his heart, and he unconsciously pressed the katana to his waist. Intuition tells him that this samurai is definitely a very powerful opponent.

   Both Ronin glanced at each other, their eyes full of vigilance, and they stopped talking.

   Then five or six foot soldiers armed with spears followed the samurai and walked into the residence. The ronin in the residence were surprised, wondering if something had happened. Some Ronin secretly guarded, and secretly pressed their hands on the hilt of the samurai sword.

   This burly samurai is exactly Li Xiao. His purpose of staying here this time is to recruit several Ronin to join the Takeda army on the order of Takeda Katsuyoshi to prepare for the future battle in Nishi-Ueno.

   It seems that there are no great people living in residence, Li Xiao looked at it again and said from the bottom of his heart.

   At this time, the Sojourner boss rushed forward. He could recognize the Samurai in front of him. The last time he fought in his shop, he was the one who fought several ronins by himself. Don't have anything to do this time.

   "My lord, what can I do when you come to the shop? The shop has good sake, and you can entertain adults."

   Li Xiao nodded ~ www.wuxiamtl.com~ There is sake to drink, of course it is the best, but the most important thing in front of me is not this. Li Xiao opened the mouth and said loudly: "The Lord of the City has just issued a recruiting order." After saying that, he signaled to a person beside him to spread out a letter-style judgment. But no one has yet to distinguish the true and false of the verdict. Almost all the ronin in the residence swarmed and rushed in front of Li Xiao.

   "Sir, use me. I can use iron cannons."

   "This lord, I used to serve as a general in Izumo Niko's house."

   "My lord, I once asked for three heads in a battle. Here is a certificate of appreciation from the lord."

  ……………………

   knows how to use iron cannons, the foot is light, and he has won three heads, and there is a thank you certificate as proof, um, yes, yes, it seems that these people can barely use it, Li Xiao thought so. Immediately after looking at the hungry and thirsty expressions of these ronin, Li Xiao, at this moment, was quite grateful to Takeda Shingen for letting him become a Samurai of the Takeda family, otherwise the fate of this group of people would probably be the same.

"Wait, register one by one, bread will have something, oh no, rice will have it, everyone has an equal opportunity." Facing these fanatical ronin, Li Xiao feels like a star being chased by paparazzi at this moment. .

I don’t know how Sanada’s situation is. Li Xiao asked Sanada to recruit peasants from one village to another. Compared with recruiting these ronin, the method of recruiting peasants is the same, that is, carrying carts of rice to each village. Tell the peasants that they have rice to eat as a soldier, so that a large number of people will be willing to work for the Takeda family. While the clerk was recording Ronin’s names, specific circumstances, and past resumes one by one, Li Xiao saw that in a corner of the sojourn, there happened to be two Ronin sitting there. It seemed a little bit about the recruitment work here. No interest.
