Chapter 1030 I'm here to test you
In early November, the cold winter had arrived, and heavy snow fell in Guanyuan area, delaying the Ming army's agenda for advancing eastward.
In Hikone Castle, a young man in a black kimono was escorted by a team of Ming troops and headed to the Tianshou Pavilion where Zhu Cixuan was staying.
As soon as he entered the hall on the second floor of the pavilion, the boy stared blankly at the handsome man on the first floor, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Xu Sheng scolded, "Ignorance child, when he sees His Majesty, he still won't kneel down and kowtow!"
The loud sound rang in his ears like thunder. The boy was frightened and trembled all over. He immediately jogged forward a few steps, knelt on the ground and worshiped, shouting: "My minister Tokugawa family, long live the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
"Get up and talk."
Zhu Cilang smiled and asked him to get up, then turned his head to look at Xu Sheng, and said, "Don't scare other people's children."
Tokugawa Izunobu is the current general of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and is also the fourth generation general of the Shogunate. He is fourteen years old this year, not tall, and has a silly look. As the rumored image is almost the same.
When Xu Sheng was frightened by this, Tokugawa Izunobu got up and didn't dare to look directly at Zhu Cixuan. He stood there with his head down and repeatedly pinching his cuffs, as if he was obsessive-compulsive.
Zhu Cixuan was interested, walked up to him with a smile, and asked, "I'm going to test you one question: a coachman is driving a carriage, and there are five people sitting in the carriage, each carrying five bags, each bag has five pieces of clothes, how many sleeves are there in the carriage?"
Tokugawa Izunobu looked up, looked at Zhu Ciyang with a confused look, and quickly dodged away.
He lowered his head and counted his fingers, counting back and forth, and the more he counted, he became more and more messy. He replied for a long time: "I...I can't count..."
Zhu Cixuan raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Then I will ask for a simple question. Do you know the elephant?"
Now Tokugawa Izuno was excited. He smiled rarely on his originally nervous face, and he replied with his sincere face: "I know!"
Zhu Cixuan nodded slightly and said, "If I gave you an elephant and asked you to weigh its weight, what would you do?"
Tokugawa Izuno thought for a while and replied with a smile: "This is simple. The elephant is too big. There is not such a big scale in the world yet, so you should slaughter the elephant first and weigh it little by little."
Zhu Cilang was stunned and almost laughed out loud. Suddenly, Xu Sheng's thunderous voice came from beside him again.
"Rareless! Your Majesty gives you an elephant, you dare to slaughter, I will kill you kid first!"
Tokugawa Izuno was so scared that he rolled his eyes, and his body was shaking so much that he almost died suddenly.
Fortunately, Wu Zhong had quick eyes and quick hands, and he put him on the ground, pressed his chest and slapped his face, and finally rescued him.
Zhu Cilang was speechless and ordered: "I will give him the title of Anle Bo and take him back to the Ming Dynasty for his captivity."
After Tokugawa's family was taken down, Zhu Cilang suddenly said to Wu Zhong: "Give him an elephant, and when he thinks of a way to weigh it, you will kill it!"
Wu Zhong replied with his head down, knowing it in his heart.
This fool's IQ is not bad. If he has smart thinking, that is, when he dies, he will live with humiliation and pretend to be wise and foolish all his life.
At this time, someone suddenly came to report that the Sendai vassal Daming Ida Tada Sect joined forces with more than 20 Daming in the northern part of the Kanto Plain to announce the collapse of the sect and sent an envoy to come to see him.
Zhu Cilang nodded slightly and said, "It is said that the generals of our army and all the famous names of the Jinsui Army will meet together!"
The Sendai Basin is the largest vassal state in the northeastern region of Japan. It is a country with a seat in Edo Castle, and was allowed to use the Matsuhira surname by the Edo Shogunate.
Tada Takazo Ida saw the situation and raised his arms and immediately gained the support of the surrounding daimyo. They gathered 50,000 troops to march towards Edo, hoping to get a share of the Ming army.
Originally, the Sendai Fan wanted to gather a group of people, take the troops to respect themselves, watch the success or failure of both sides, and then take the opportunity to clean up the mess and pick the final fruit.
Therefore, after the decisive battle of Sekihara, Tadazo Ida immediately sent a confidant envoy to Sekihara, in the name of visiting the Ming Emperor and the Japanese Emperor, to find out how much strength the Ming army still has.
In the hall, the generals of the Ming army and the vassals Daming arrived soon, and the envoys from the Sintai vassal also arrived.
As soon as the envoy arrived, he gave Zhu Cilang a great ceremony of bowing three times and nine times, congratulating the Ming army on his victory in the Battle of Guanyuan, and said some compliments.
Under the fierce eye of a group of daimyos, the envoy finally got to the point and praised loudly with a smile on his face: "His Majesty the Great Emperor punishes the people and eliminates the harm to Japan. It is a blessing for Japan. My Sendai Vanguard is willing to follow the Ming Dynasty and work with the Tianjun to attack the Tokugawa shogunate!"
As soon as this statement was made, it immediately caused great dissatisfaction among the Daming people who had risen up early and surrendered to the Ming army. Maori outline rushed directly to the court to beat the envoy of the Sendai vassal state, beating and scolding it. It was so rude and rude.
When the Maori outline started to rebel, he sent people to contact the Sendai Fan many times to cause trouble.
However, Tada Takasun only provided spiritual support and did not even say a word of the scene.
Later, when the Ming army conquered Kyoto, Maori Outline sent people to persuade the Sendai Basilica again in order to make meritorious. As a result, the old guy named Tada Ida made a fart and only made a verbal promise that he didn't even see a ghost during the Battle of Sekihara.
Maori outline has repeatedly put on a hot face and cold butt, how can I not be angry?
Now he was given "General Xiu" by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he felt that his status was noble and he did not take the Xiantai vassal seriously at all.
Maori outline beat the messenger and scolded: "What's the fuck? You just got out and turned against me when we beat the main force of the shogunate army. Pick ready-made peaches to eat? Ida's old man is too shameless!"
"General Xiu misunderstood..." The messenger hugged his head and begged for forgiveness.
"Get out now!"
The Maori outline looks very irritable.
A daming tactfully reminded: "General Xiu calms down his anger, and this matter must be decided by His Majesty the Great Emperor."
Maori Outline then remembered that the master was still here, and he quickly apologized and said, "Your Majesty, I am too impulsive just now."
Zhu Cilang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go back!"
When the envoy heard this, he thought that the matter was not good. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty allowed the Maori dog to beat him, and he had expressed a certain attitude...
Zhu Cixuan said: "I have issued an order to your master to make decisions early, not to both ends of snakes and rats. Since your master promised to send troops to fall, why didn't you see your Xiantai vassal sending soldiers and soldiers to help the battle on the battlefield in Guanyuan?"
The envoy hurriedly said, "Report to His Majesty the Great Emperor, the lord really wants to lead the army to Guanyuan to help the battle, but the weather is suddenly cold, and our army needs time to prepare winter clothes. In addition, Xiantai is thousands of miles away from Guanyuan, so he failed to arrive at Guanyuan in time..."
He added: "But the lord has gathered 25 Daming of the Northeast, gathered 100,000 troops to fall, and is now heading towards Edo, hoping to make up for it..."
