Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

epydz ("Xia Kou's warship is moored in Edo Bay. Once it lands, Edo Town will directly face the flames of war. Welcome to read" In a large residential house in Edo Town, dozens of people, big and small "Once Edo Town is robbed by the Xia Kou, some of us may be able to retreat unscathed, but most of us may lose everything. So, I think, even if it is to protect you and my family It is imperative to take the initiative to provide military service money for the shogunate, not to mention that the shogunate has already asked for it."

"Can you persuade the shogunate to accept Xia Kou's conditions in exchange for the Xia people's withdrawal?" The small merchants in Shiguwenwu (a guild specializing in buying and selling wholesales) still tried to find another way to solve the problem. One more step, besides, the purpose of the Xia people is also to open up business."

"The news of Boss Xiemon is behind. Xia Kou made it clear to the shogunate that he must agree to open business and pay compensation." Money negotiations can also solve the problem, but what is the dignity of the shogunate, so this battle is imperative."

"It's all caused by the damn Osaka merchants." Several merchants cursed immediately, "If they hadn't provoked the shogunate, how could they have provoked Xia Kou, and now they want us to be in trouble together, what a bunch of bastards!"

"Don't say these things anymore." Mitsuya shook his head, "Let's think about how to distribute the requirements of the shogunate. As for Osaka and Kyoto, they must pay a lot more military service money than us."

"What, the military service fee is going to be levied again?" Facing the news conveyed by the servants, the common people in the village whispered, but now, appealing to the shogunate is the only thing most farmers can do. However, this time the order came directly from the shogunate. Obviously, it is useless to sue Yue at the cost of his life. "My God, how can I survive these days?"

After hearing this, some companions complained immediately: "This is the order of the general in Edo City, he doesn't care about our life or death."

Someone asked unwillingly: "Then what should we do? Just wait to die like this?"

"It's not enough to wait until you die, you just have to starve for a few days." In fact, due to the great agricultural development in the middle of the Edo period, although the life of the local people with self-cultivation fields was hard and they couldn't eat white rice, they could still be satisfied with rice with radish and other grains. "Let's just treat it as a disaster year, otherwise what else can we do?"

What else could Ai do, so he had to tighten his own belt, but for such an experience, the aggrieved local people cursed loudly: "I can't live through this day. Fortunately, I have been suffering for a whole year. Seeing that I am dying!" The autumn harvest is over, but you can’t even get enough to eat, the world is out of order.”

Unlike the daimyo merchants who openly and secretly cursed the tyranny of the shogunate, there is a group that welcomes the order of the shogunate to prepare for war. It is light, but those ronin who lost their lord and territory under the rule of the Tokugawa family. What the ronin thinks about every day is how to re-enter the officialdom and get a full-fledged identity. This is why rumors spread provided the soil

In the third year of Xia Wucheng, in the 14th year of Genroku, on July [-]th, when the shogunate ordered Banner and Ashgaru to assemble, there were wild rumors on the market that the shogunate was recruiting ronin to join the war at the same time. If the battle is won, the ronin who participated in the battle will be given the lowest status by the shogunate, which is equivalent to the status of an ashigaru samurai

Rumors aroused great dissatisfaction among the ronin, so on the same day, more than [-] ronin rushed to the Edo-cho magistrate's office to plead for the country to fight for the country. The next day, the rumors further fermented. Granting the status of a samurai triggered an even greater frenzy. At that day, nearly ten thousand ronin flocked to the Edo Town Magistrate's Office, and some even went to the ground outside Edo Castle to plead. In addition, the news spread rapidly to the whole of Japan, and ronin from all over the country flocked rush to edo

The sudden Ronin Chao caught the shogunate by surprise, but the number of Ronin gathered was too many, and one mishandling would cause earth-shattering changes. Let ronin serve as cannon fodder for the shogunate, so that the shogunate will reduce mobilization efforts and reduce mobilization expenditure

On the afternoon of July [-]th, the shogunate temporarily appointed [-] ronin heads to form [-] ronin teams. On that day, the Edo Town Magistrate's Office recruited ronin all night long. Although the shogunate did not even grant uniform uniforms, they were recruited The absorbed ronin still happily followed the Pantou group and marched towards the Tama River

"Okay, I can finally become a samurai again." Many ronin cried while marching, "There will be good days in the future."

"The battle with Xia Kou this time is of great importance, and it is related to whether the feudal clan can flourish again. Please, you must fight the enemy bravely." Among the many rogues who are considering themselves, there is a group of people who seem to be different, they are The former vassals of the Ako clan who were changed due to the knife wound under the Matsunoroshi incident in March this year "everything has been freed"

"Please don't worry about Neizosuke." Dozens of former feudal vassals including Tagawa Zaemon Onodera Juuchi Kondo Genshiro responded in unison.
