Coming from another relatively fair modern world, it is difficult for Yoshihiro to understand the lower class people here. But Akechi Mitsuhide understands the sorrow of talented people at the bottom.
Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, and the mouse's daughter is still digging holes.
No matter how hard you work, your upper limit is determined by your background. How cruel this is to the Chinese warrior Ji who has outstanding martial arts and talents.
Therefore, if you meet a knowledgeable person who can grasp the straw of the royal family's identity, the fire may burn even brighter.
The mother looked worried about gains and losses, which made Takatora panic. The group of people walked away, but Totora shouted at him to sit down somewhere else.
"Mom, are you okay? I'm just a pretty young man. As for being so panicked, you see your hands are still shaking."
"You know nothing! Stop talking nonsense and call me Lord Shiba."
Todo Toragao wasn't panicking, he was obviously extremely excited.
"I grabbed everyone because I have something to say. I want to send people back to the mountains to bring over all the people who are left behind."
A knight next to her looked at the leader in astonishment. Her name was Tanaka, she was a long-faced knight with gray hair, who was somewhat powerful among the Chinese. She looked confused and asked.
"Boss, what do you think? Didn't we just bring this few people here to make up the numbers as promised? We'll hide all our belongings in the mountains and wait until we get through this gust of wind."
This time when we came to join the battle, the Tengtang people also kept a hand. They did not bring the peasants and soldiers who were transporting heavy supplies, so as not to expose their whereabouts.
Most of the centaurs and food were hidden in the ravine. This was to prevent the Asai family from using them as cannon fodder and to preserve some vitality.
"It's different now, it's different! It's worth our while this time.
Do you know what’s on the formation flag behind that boy? It’s the imperial flag! It’s the Ashikaga white flag!”
Todo Torako squeezed his thigh with his hands excitedly, and couldn't help but slap it twice.
"Mother, what is that?"
Gao Hu looked at her in confusion, and the Chinese people around him looked at me and me at you.
Todo Tora was so proud that he couldn't help but hit her in the pocket again.
"General Ashikaga held high the imperial white flag, and 80,000 imperial family members marched to Kyoto. Haven't you loved hearing this story since you were a child? You seem smart at ordinary times, but why are you so stupid at this critical moment!"
"Oh! He is carrying the imperial white flag!"
"Get lost! Can you bring the imperial white flag? It's the treasure of the shogun's family! His is the Ashikaga white flag, the imperial flag!"
When meeting a group of people and still not being able to tell them apart, Todo Toragao also had a headache.
"Anyway, what he is carrying is a token that can be divided among the imperial family members!"
"Royal family members!"
Gao Hu's eyes lit up, her mother would not lie to her.
"Yu family, if you finish this battle, can you become a Yu family?"
"right!"
Tora Tora nodded, this stupid daughter finally understood.
But the long-faced Tanaka still looked unhappy.
"Boss, it's not easy for everyone to save all these belongings. We have to save money and save money to get these troops, horses, food, grass and military equipment. Is it worth it to use them all for the title of imperial family?
If we lose this battle, we won’t have the capital to turn around.”
The Chinese people around her also felt that what she said was reasonable, so they couldn't help but hesitate and whisper.
Gao Hu was not happy if his mother didn't need to speak now.
"Aunt Dog, what you said is wrong. That's the status of the imperial family, and it's an opportunity that you won't be able to cultivate in several lifetimes."
The long-faced Tanaka is also an old man from several villages. She has a face as long as a dog and is nicknamed a dog. She is usually very stingy, and Toudo Takatora often calls her Auntie Dog behind her back.
But this was the first time he pointed at his nose in public. Tanaka twisted his mouth in anger and shouted.
"No matter how expensive it is, it's just a name! Can it be used as food? Anyway, I don't want to."
Todo Toraoka stopped his daughter, glared at Tanaka, and said.
"What's wrong with the name? I was also a famous pretty girl in several villages, and a warrior Ji with strong martial arts skills. But which martial arts family with some status in the county would marry the legitimate son of the family.
Do you think I am a tall person but a bad person? That’s nonsense!
It’s because we are Chinese! My mother is a Chinese servant, I am a Chinese servant, and my daughter is still a Chinese servant!
No matter how hard we try, our ancestors have been trampled under their feet for generations, humble Chinese people!"
Looking around, everyone was speechless. Todo Tora stood up because his chest was tight and he couldn't sit still.
"How come the Onoki family has 30% less military and food service than us? Why can the Anyangji family marry the legitimate son of a high-ranking family in the county?
Is their warrior Ji better than us? Smarter than us? Harder and more hardworking than us?
Damn it! Just because their ancestors fought with the Ashikaga Shogun more than ten generations ago.
Just like that! Ever since my grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's, they have been nobler than us and have their own advantages in everything.
Why! Tell me! Why! What! What!”
Todo Torakaka has always looked like she has the pearls of wisdom in hand, and no one has ever seen her lose her composure like this.
Even Gao Hu, who had always been carefree, did not dare to offend his frantic mother at this time.
She has always felt that her ambitions were suppressed by her mother, who could not understand her ambitions.
At this moment, she looked at her mother with some distress. Perhaps her mother was once as high-spirited as herself, full of hope and pursuit of life.
It was only after he suffered a bloody blow that he gave up and returned home to maintain his family business and stop dreaming.
Toradaka Todo didn't have time to consider her daughter's thoughts. She was determined to do this this time. This was for everyone's good, and she had a clear conscience.
"Just because they are imperial family members, they love the general, and their ancestors shed blood for the Ashikaga family.
I can also love the general, and I can also talk! As long as I am given the status of a royal family member, I can shed the last drop of blood for the general.
With this identity, we are no longer ordinary people of the country, nor are we just servants of the country in the countryside. We are members of the royal family of the Genji, and our own people!"
The long-faced Tanaka was just not convinced. She was humiliated by being masturbated in public. After all, she had some status in the Teng Hall, so she was determined and refused to bow her head.
"Their imperial family members are more than ten generations old. Now the world is getting more and more chaotic. Maybe one day the general family will be gone. Is this status still useful?
Only by seizing the money, food, people and horses in your hands can you be real. There is no point in exchanging real money for false fame."
Seeing her entanglement, Takatora Todo's eyes gradually turned cold. Takatora silently walked behind Tanaka and stared at her.
"The Kamakura shogunate will be destroyed, and the Ashikaga shogunate can't say for sure. But as long as someone is willing to come to power and become a shogun, she will have to recognize the identity of this imperial family member.
Unless she doesn't want to be the elder of the Genji family and the pillar of the Wu family, otherwise she has to recognize these as the royal family members who have shed the blood of the Genji family!
When money is gone, we can make money again; when food is gone, we can plant it again; when land is gone, we can reclaim wasteland; when people are gone, we can regenerate.
But this opportunity is gone, can we still get rid of our status as local servants of the country? The invisible board is over our heads, can you push it away? Can you leave a chance for future generations to climb up?"
Todo Tora sat back, took a deep breath, his expression gradually calmed down, and said.
"After I finish speaking, who agrees and who opposes."
"I object!"
Just after the long-faced Tanaka finished speaking, Gao Hu behind him showed his murderous intent and cut off her head with a sword.
Todo Toraoka silently glanced at her head and said calmly.
