Among the many time-travelers, the one who has done best in the Hirata family is the eldest brother Matsuzo who has been promoted to the head of the Ashigaru group, followed by Kujiro and Ganta behind him, and the rest are not among Repairing the toilet means forging iron in the workshop.
In the Weiming Country, this is not a job that guarantees harvests despite droughts and floods. The environment is harsh and there is little food. You might die at some point.
There are even worse things than this, those who farm with farmers, those who mine, and a lot of people who died early in the “rural fighting”.
The ‘travelers’ from the remaining forces are almost at this level.
There were more than 200 ‘travelers’ who came twice before and after, but there are probably less than 30 people alive now.
Bella guessed that they must still be in contact with each other, but she did not ask in front of Hirata Goro.
The Hirata family is a branch of the Ashina family. The head of the family and Ashina Isshin are related by blood. They only came out to inherit the Hirata family in accordance with the Japanese tradition of emphasizing family names rather than blood ties.
The Hirata family is located in the northwest of Ashina Country. To the north is the Ryusen River where Bella and the others descended. To the north is the airtight fog. No one knows what is behind the fog. To the south, there is a If you don’t reach the mountains at the edge, if you want to attack, you can only go from west to east.
It is precisely because of this that the Hirata family became the first line of defense in the face of the Imperial House’s crusade.
The conspiracy three years ago did not destroy this loyal family. The young people in the family are still clinging to the family land without retreating.
I saw many fortresses along the way. They were not large in scale, but they could not handle the large number. If the enemy wanted to successfully break into Hirata’s house, they had to remove these fortresses one by one. This workload was too much.
Soon after entering the Hirata mansion, Bella saw an acquaintance.
“Miss Yongzhen? Are you also working at the Hirata family?”
What surprised Kujiro and Iwata happened. They discovered that the strange ‘latecomer’ actually knew the senior members of the Ashina family!
As the doctor of the country’s leader Ashina Isshin, Nagama is definitely a close confidant around the leader.
Doctors have no rights, but their importance is similar to that of the heads of the Hirata family.
“You…came to join us?” Yongzhen asked curiously.
Bella wanted to join the more powerful Imperial Crusade Army, but she learned Isshin Ashina’s swordsmanship and turned around to join the other side, which seemed a bit excessive.
“The resistance of Wei Mingguo is just, and I am willing to contribute!” She said seriously.
Yongzhen’s smile is still gentle, but there is a hint of joy in it.
She herself was restricted by her oath and could not take action many times, which she always regretted. Bella’s arrival was equivalent to giving Ashina a strong supporter. In this kind of village-level war with weapons, there was one more master of swordsmanship. , that works so well!
“Come, come with me to see Mr. Hirata, Your Highness Goro, please come too.”
Yongzhen pulled Bella and walked inside, while Hirata Goro followed two steps behind.
The remaining survivors also wanted to follow them inside. Kujiro and Ganta quickly stopped this group of idiots who couldn’t see the truth.
“Asshole! Can you break into the master’s mansion?”
The two men held long spears and forced back several guys who were ready to make a move.
“Why did you stop me? Didn’t that woman just go in?”
“I’m starving! Let me in quickly!”
“I’ll give you a hundred dollars and let me go in and have a rest. I think this place is quite big…”
Not knowing what was going on outside, Bella followed Yongzhen to change clothes first.
Female warriors in Japan are rarer than giant pandas, but Ashina is an exception.
Ba, a female warrior of the Kamei clan, once left many legends here. As Ashina Isshin’s doctor, Yongzhen met Ba when he was a child, and he admired her so much. When he grew up, he looked like her. A samurai suit was cut.
She can’t go into battle to kill the enemy, so now this suit is given to Bella.
Take off your jeans and short shirt, put on a plain black haori made of silk with vertical hanging pattern and moiré pattern, and finally put on a horse riding skirt that is similar to a skirt. Strictly speaking, Yongzhen prepared it. This dress does not look like what a traditional samurai would wear. Instead, it looks like a witch or a priest.
There is no such thing as a scapular worn by a scapular that is connected to a shogunate, like overalls. It is the attire of a shogunate samurai. The Ashina clan is now a rebel army, and the shogunate is the enemy, so they cannot wear each other’s clothes!
Foot bags and geta are indispensable. You must wear these, tie up your hair, and insert a tachi and wakizashi on your waist. This is considered as a complete change of clothes.
At this time, the head of the Hirata family was performing a blessing ceremony for the fallen samurai and soldiers. As outsiders, they were waiting outside the Hirata family’s temple.
The ancestors of this family may have been particularly Buddhists and built the family temple to an extremely large size, far exceeding the standard of a normal Japanese samurai family temple.
Seeing a bunch of people chanting sutras in an ups and downs, Bella and Yongzhen stood in the distance chatting.
“Bella, do you know what kind of Buddha this is?” Yongzhen was worried that her words and deeds would offend the taboo of the head of the Hirata family. Faith is no small matter. Once there is friction, it will be very troublesome.
Bella stretched her neck and glanced at the Buddha: “Yeah, I know, it’s Vairocana Buddha, the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha of Tantric Buddhism.”
Talking to her about biology and genes is a bit confusing, but talking about Buddha and Bodhisattva? She is a professional!
Yongzhen was surprised again. She found that this Nanman woman knew so much, and was completely different from the Nanman women she had met before.
“You are also a warrior in your country, right?”
How to explain this? Bella didn’t know where to start, so she could only hum a few times to show that you were right.
They chatted for a while and finally got down to business.
“What do you hope to get from Hirata’s house?” Yongzhen asked.
Bella raised a finger: “I want a voucher for passage in Ashina Country.”
The current Ashina Country is not an empty country like in the game. You can’t see a living person even if you run 800 meters. There is one post every three steps and one post every five steps. Without a pass, it would be too troublesome. .
Yongzhen nodded gently: “What then?”
“Then I’m going to recruit some people. Of course, they will fight for the Ashina family and the Hirata family, but I have no money and need you to provide some financial support.”
“Of course you can. Wei Mingguo is not rich, but he still has some money.”
Bella raised her third finger: “I need to talk to the king. I don’t know if you know the details. The outside… well, the outside is different from before. The battle now is nothing. Meaning, the inner government has long ceased to exist, and the Edo shogunate returned power to the emperor one hundred and sixty years ago… So?”
As she spoke, she observed Yong Zhen’s expression. This was indeed absurd. For Wei Mingguo, they had not done anything yet. As soon as they closed their eyes, the shogunate, who was their mortal enemy, died? !
