974 The Battle Flag of the Second Lady
In the dark Box Hall Strait, a boat with drums and music came, and the street near the sea suddenly became quiet, and the noise receded like a tide.
The torches and lanterns illuminated the ship, getting closer and closer. People can now see the drummers who are struggling to beat the tai drums on the deck. The heavy drum beats are sometimes excited, sometimes low, and rumbling and shocking.
"It's the Taigu sound of Tozhao Palace! It's the Taigu sound of Tozhao Palace from the General's family!" The samurai warriors in the crowd were still knowledgeable, and they could hear the source by just listening to the rhythm.
Tozhao Palace is actually a shrine that worships Tokugawa Ieyasu. Due to the construction and promotion of the shogunate for two hundred years, Tozhao Palace has now become the most influential shrine among the Japanese people, and the worship is also the most prosperous. It is incredible to hear Tozhao Palace's sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrific
When the ship approached the pier, people saw the strong drummer wearing only a pair of crotch pants in the cold wind, and also saw the beautiful shrine goddess wearing a white robe. The bow of the ship was indeed floating with the god flag of Tozawa Palace.
All the warriors knelt down one after another, and they piously pressed their heads to the divine flag, murmured to pray for their long-term martial arts fortune.
Mr. Long and Sister Wu also came over from the inner city on horseback. They didn't know what the shogunate was trying to do. Could it be that the shogunate was going to participate in this war as an official capacity? If this is the case, you will definitely not agree.
But Master Long thought wrongly. Not only was the beautiful goddess but also an old acquaintance walking down from the boat, that is, a disciple Xiao Letian received in Japan, Hirobuki Ito.
Hirobu Ito held a piece of cloth in his hand and couldn't see anything clearly. He was walking to Long Ye and shouting, "The second wife personally embroidered the military flag for the general in Junfu Castle, and worshiped and prayed at Longhua Temple and Tosho Palace. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be unfair and finally delivered the General's flag to safely be sent!"
With a loud bang, the warriors present were in a big uproar. This was a big show. A military flag was to be used to work for Prime Minister Xiao of Donghai, who was embroidered by himself, and also to worship and pray in Longhua Temple and Tozhao Palace. No wonder this time the screening was so strict. Just with this military flag, you can imagine the importance of this war.
Those guys who gave up halfway, those fools who shouted unfairness, go and regret it. This is a rare opportunity in a century! Onboard! Onboard
Master Long's mind flashed and understood Hu Niu's plan. Unexpectedly, this crazy girl who was so terrifying in Taihang Mountains could already understand what politics is in just a few years. She is worthy of being the Prime Minister's wife.
Before leaving, Mr. Long received a secret meeting with Xiao Letian. That time, Xiao Letian revealed a truth to him. Why did this Far East war require the acceptance of a large number of Japanese samurai? This is actually a psychological battle between Xiao Letian and Japanese Bushido.
Perhaps we can say it more warmly. This is a guidance work like Dayu's flood control, and it is a surgical transformation of Japan's Bushido by Xiao Letian.
What exactly is Bushido? Xiao Letian has explained it more than once. Bushido is not complicated at all, and there is no need to imitate him. Bushido is actually just like the Confucianism and Taoism in China. It is a rule, a channel for talents to strive for upward efforts, and also a rule.
Chinese people rely on reading to change their destiny. Children from poor families pick up their books. As long as you are smart and hardworking, you may change your destiny and become the best. Then Confucianism and Taoism are the path of your life.
What is Bushido? Like Confucianism and Taoism, it is impossible for the lower-level people in Japan to change their destiny by reading it, because Japan does not have an imperial examination system, and Japan has been transforming its identity through war for thousands of years. If a low-level and extremely poor people want to live a better life, they must follow the path of samurai.
The most obvious example is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was originally the son of an extremely poor farmer, nicknamed Fujiyoshiro, nicknamed Monkey. Later, by chance, he became a servant of Oda Nobunaga, a servant carrying shoes, and was later selected as a foot soldier because of his cleverness. Finally, through his own efforts, he changed his destiny bit by bit and became Kanbai unified Japan.
This is the dream of the Japanese. Countless warriors were inspired by such dreams and walked onto the battlefield. Just like Chinese readers would be inspired by various stories about the title of the Golden List, and would be deeply resonant with Fan Jin's ecstasy of winning the exam. The truth here is exactly the same.
The human being is there, do you want to block it? That is impossible. Only Xueyu can use guidance to solve the problem.
If Xiao Letian ignores the huge demand of the Japanese folk samurai class to change his destiny, then it will sooner or later collapse like a landslide lake.
People cannot be blocked. Even if Xiao Letian can block the Japanese when he is alive, and they can't turn over, so what can they do? This kind of thing will exist for hundreds or even thousands of years. How many years can you, Xiao Letian?
Even if there is no Sino-Japanese War, will there be a war in Yiwei? Will there be a war in Dingyou? Will there be a war in Jiachen? There will definitely be a war in Jiachen? Because the more severe the pressure is, the stronger the rebound will be.
So Xiao Letian wants to open the gate and release water. He wants to open an opening on the high Yansai Lake to build his own water conservancy project. Don’t you, a low-level Japanese samurai, want to make a name for yourself? Come to my canal, I’ll give you a chance!
Do you want the most advanced weapons? Do you like the best training or not? The most important thing is, I have the courage to take you to do with Europeans. The military merits I give you are worthy of. Are you willing to do it?
Reality has given the answer. During this trip to Long Ye during his trip to Japan, the overall fanaticism of the samurai class has proved that Xiao Letian's strategy is extremely strived for.
The story of Nohei Tae and Hitotaro inspired them. It has become a consensus among the samurai that the high dam has become Xiao Letian's power plant. Dragging this force to the place where he hopes to appear is the longest solution to the Japanese problem.
Now, the second wife's battle flag and the battle flag blessed by Buddhism and Shintoism appeared, it became the catalyst for the entire plan, and completely ignited the fanaticism in the hearts of Japanese warriors like adding fuel to the fire.
The opportunity to make meritorious contributions, fair treatment, high-level equipment, and even the satisfaction of the spiritual world! What else do you think you want? Fanatic warriors, give your loyalty. You are like pieces of coal that has been sleeping for billions of years, and will eventually burn in my Xiao Lotte's oven.
With a shout, the flag with black letters on white background fluttered in the wind. The five big words "Far East Volunteer Army" drifted in the wind in the fire. At that moment, the sound of Taigong in the divine palace suddenly became crazy. Master Long supported the flag with one hand and shouted, "Long live the Prime Minister! Long live the Far East Volunteer Army!"
