Chapter 558: The Emperor of Earth
"Stop, stop quickly." Miyazaki Huai suddenly shouted loudly.
Nan Chunyi was startled and almost fell to the ground. He grabbed the sole of one foot on the ground and controlled the balance with the other foot before controlling the rickshaw.
Miyazaki Huai jumped out of the car and pushed down several silly sons of landlords like crazy. Those boys were pushed to the ground by the adults and did not dare to resist. They just cried and screamed loudly.
"Xinzi, is that you?" Miyazaki Huai put his hands on the little girl's shoulders and said loudly.
He also took out his handkerchief to help the little girl wipe the mud on her face. Yes, this was his Xinzi.
The little girl looked at him, her eyes clear, but full of confusion.
"Xinzi, I'm dad, don't you recognize me?"
The little girl's clothes were in tatters, exposing her dirty skin. Miyazaki Huai quickly took off his coat and put it on the little girl.
With a "bang" sound, a fist-sized piece of mud hit Miyazaki Huai's back, staining his white linen shirt.
"Let go of my pet." A little boy yelled at Miyazaki Huai.
Miyazaki Huai knew this boy. His father was Ogura Ayumi, a feudal lord from Gokase Town. This feudal lord was affiliated with the shogunate, and the entire town was considered his fiefdom, and he was considered the local emperor here.
So these boys were running wild in the town, and no one dared to control them.
"What did you say, pet? Say it again." Miyazaki Huai's eyes instantly became bloodshot. His daughter was actually kept as a pet.
He was also led on a rope and walked along the street.
He suddenly had an ominous premonition, where was his wife? How could Haruna allow such a thing to happen?
The crying of several boys instantly attracted the soldiers patrolling the town. They were all soldiers of the Ogura family.
The internal structure of Fuso is: the shogunate rules the daimyo, and below the daimyo are the feudal lords at all levels. The feudal lords and samurai at each level provide the army according to the number of superior lord lords and daimyo according to the land they control.
For example, the Ogura family, because Gokase Town is a large village, must provide fifty soldiers to the shogunate during wars.
In order to maintain law and order in the village, their family will maintain a standing force of more than a dozen people.
"Stand down, I am a Chinese, you have no right to arrest me." Miyazaki Huai yelled at the town soldiers.
Several town soldiers surrounded Miyazaki Huai with spears, and the rickshaw driver Nan Junichi was so frightened that he hid on the side of the road.
After all, he is a man who has seen the world, so Miyazaki Huai is not afraid of these town soldiers at all.
But how did those town soldiers know that the treaty signed between the shogunate and the Chinese included extraterritorial rights?
Many servant soldiers don't know either. Miyazaki Huai works in the Propaganda Department, so he knows these contents very well. In addition to targeting the natives, his usual propaganda work also targets the Fuso servant soldiers in Luzon Island.
The purpose of the Chinese is to strengthen the centripetal force of these servant soldiers towards the Chinese and make these people desire to become Chinese. This kind of assimilation is better than any other means.
Four spears were placed on Miyazaki Huai's body, and he always held his daughter. Both father and daughter were captured by the town soldiers.
The remaining rickshaw driver Nan Chun was stunned on the spot. Nan Chun suddenly remembered that this man hadn't paid yet. When he looked again, he saw that his two big boxes were still in the car.
Nan Chunyi quickly pulled the car and ran towards the port.
There was no one in the car, so he was not struggling, but his heart was pounding because of the two big boxes in the car.
Nan Chun thought that since the man didn't settle the bill anyway and he was caught, he could use these two boxes to pay off the debt.
After leaving Gokase Town, the car came to a deserted place, and Nan Junyi stopped the car. He turned around and came to the car, placed a box flat on the pedals, and then opened the copper cover on it.
buckle.
Inside the box were not the silver coins or copper coins as expected, but bags of candies.
Candies are also good, but they are very expensive in Fuso. Rich families like to buy some to put in their homes as a facade to greet guests.
But then he thought of Miyazaki Huai's excitement when he saw his daughter. These candies should have been bought for his daughter.
No matter what, he offended a big shot and deserved to be arrested.
In order to prevent being caught, Nan Chun drove the car directly to his home. His home was a small fishing village not far from the port. Most of the people in the village made a living by fishing.
However, their life is also very difficult because fishing requires high taxes.
Nan Chunyi secretly brought two wooden boxes into his home. His wife curiously asked him what they were. He fiercely told his wife to leave them alone.
Then he took out a few pieces of candy and gave them to his daughter. The child felt like she had found a treasure, and when she had the candy in her mouth, her eyes became blurred with happiness.
Nan Chun smiled and touched his daughter's head, then hurried towards the dock again. It was still early today, so maybe he could get some more work. He wouldn't rent a car tomorrow and would find someone to sell those candies.
When he arrived at the dock, he happened to pass by a Chinese-style building with many people wearing Chinese costumes coming in and out. He knew that this was the Chinese office in Miyazaki Port.
Many of these people wearing Chinese clothes are actually Fuso and Ryukyu people. However, they have all joined the Chinese ethnic group, and they are superior to others in the port.
At this time, two gunboats arrived at the port, and some dock workers gathered around them. The Chinese gunboats should have come for supplies.
Nan Chunyi suddenly thought, the Chinese people are so powerful, what if that person is released? Judging from his dress, he should have some status.
Will the other party come looking for me when the time comes? After all, I will still make money at the port in the future.
Thinking of this, he thought of his daughter and the scene when the man protected her daughter. He felt the same feeling in his heart.
It is difficult for lower-class people like them to ensure the safety of their families under Fusang's system.
Those samurai and feudal lords would not necessarily be punished even if they killed someone.
Nan Chun came to Huazu's office by accident.
In fact, the existence of the office was mainly to recruit local laborers and servants. In fact, they rarely dealt with the local feudal lords.
The two sides don't have much interaction.
On the other side, Miyazaki Huai has been imprisoned in the private prison of the Ogura family.
Ayumi Ogura, who was playing with his concubine in the mansion, became very angry when he heard that someone dared to bully his son.
It happened that several concubines were fanning the flames, and they immediately decided to behead Miyazaki Huai on the charge of attacking the feudal lord.
There is a strict hierarchy within Fuso, and ordinary civilians must immediately hide on the roadside and kneel down when they see a samurai.
In another time and space, several British people were beheaded on the spot in the Satsuma domain because they did not show courtesy to the samurai. This also triggered a battle between England and Satsuma.
Similarly, lower-level warriors cannot collide with higher-level warriors.
Perhaps because Miyazaki was about to die after seeing him, the jailer of the Ogura family told the truth to Miyazaki.
It turned out that after Miyazaki Huai left, his daughter's illness recovered, his wife also had a little money left, and her life was getting better.
However, some samurai from the Ogura family saw Haruna's beauty and often came to tease her, and even threatened Haruna with Kinko.
Haruna naturally refused to obey, and in the process of resisting, a samurai accidentally killed Haruna.
Because he was a migrant, Xinzi had no relatives in the area, so he became an orphan.
It happened that the sons of the Ogura family thought that the little girl was very cute, so they took Xinzi home and played with her like a pet.
Miyazaki Huai looked at his daughter's blank eyes and wondered how much torture she had suffered. She was only a little girl of six or seven years old.
Those few samurai are still at large and living a normal life in the town because they have no victims to report to the official.
The jailer then informed Miyazaki Huai that he was about to be beheaded.
At this time, Miyazaki Huai regretted that he should not have met his daughter in the street.
He should go to the port office to seek help from the Chinese. After all, he is now a Chinese.
But now it's too late. Now that I have fallen into the hands of the Ogura family, they will definitely not let me go, even if they know that I am a Chinese.
I'm afraid the other party won't let me go even more once they know that I'm Chinese.
Indeed, when his subordinates informed Ogura Ayumi that Miyazaki Sophora was now a Chinese, murderous intent flashed in Ogura Ayumi's eyes. He knew that if Miyazaki was released, the other party would definitely file a complaint with the Chinese.
Ogura Ayumi knew that the Chinese were very domineering, and even the shogunate had to grovel in front of the Chinese. As a feudal official, Ogura Ayumi obviously knew more than others.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Miyazaki Huai was quickly escorted to the execution ground. He was still holding his daughter in his arms.
He asked the jailer for some water to clean his daughter. The little girl became darker and thinner, her eyes were dull, and she was no longer as agile as before.
Miyazaki Huai thinks it would be good for the family to reunite in another world like this. But he has not avenged his wife yet. If his wife asks him, how should he answer?
The execution ground stood at the entrance of the village, and many people came to watch the fun. Most of these Fuso people were tenant farmers of the Ogura family. He looked numbly at Miyazaki Sophora and his daughter.
Some people silently felt sorry for this foreigner family.
Some people still remember that the hostess of this family was very kind, worked very hard, and always nodded and smiled when she saw people in the village. The woman's skin was very white, and she had dimples when she smiled.
That man was weird, he liked to draw, which in the eyes of the villagers was not a serious job.
Now this man has suddenly become rich. I didn't expect to encounter such a disaster when he came back. I don't know how he feels.
The swordsman was ready, and the samurai who executed him was one of the four samurai who bullied Haruna.
Seeing Miyazaki Huai's calm look, the samurai felt unhappy.
He said in Miyazaki Huai's ear: "When your wife was pressed under me, she screamed so loudly that the whole town could hear it."
Hearing this, Miyazaki Huai finally turned his head and looked at the person in front of him with resentment.
