C720 Four vassal lords s (1/2)
Just as Xiao Letian was about to begin the banquet on the same day, another banquet was also in progress inside the Southwest Allied Army's camp outside Osaka City. However, the atmosphere was much gloomier, and even the dishes did not match up to the identities of the distinguished guests in the banquet.
The general command of the allied army, Xi Xianglongsheng, Shan Xianyoupeng and the other important generals were all sitting down respectfully at the seat of honor. The four men in luxurious clothing sitting at the main seats were the real big bosses of the Inverted Pie, the Southwest Tetra Feudal Lord vassal lords.
He was also Sakamoto Ryoma's and Zhong Gangshentailang's previous lord. Back then, when Sakamoto Ryoma got rid of the vassal lords, he almost died at his hands.
He was the weakest and most powerful of the Four Seasons Soldiers.
Ever since Warring States Period became famous for being able to compete with Zhi Tianxinchang, Feng Chenxiuji and Tokugawa, and Changzhou vassal was also known as the birthplace of the modern Japanese army, where Shan Xianyoupeng represented a group of warlords who had come from.
Dao Jinzhongyi of the Samoan was the most knowledgeable in western studies among the Japanese margravines. The earliest naval schools in Japan were built here, and the Samoan was even raising money to buy steam boats from Western China. It would not be wrong to say that this was the origin of the Japanese navy.
The elites of the Tutelage forces were gathered here. Originally, it should have been a grand feast to celebrate, but it caused this battle to become miserable and miserable.
Not only was the Four Fan Clans gathered, even the Mu Clan General had sent the Big River Internal Affairs Bureau as a representative to listen in. It seemed that under the suppression of this fierce dragon, Xiao Letian, the local serpents had finally given up on cooperating temporarily.
The few bottles of sake did not have much of a reaction, and even a few pieces of fish looked dispirited. The flickering flame of the candle made people's shadows look like ghosts, and the generals who knelt on the ground began to sweat profusely.
In the end, Guo Daozhida was the first one to angrily open his mouth, ”Eighty! Is this the result of your battle? All thirty thousand of the alliance's essence was swept away, and the remaining survivors were all frightened out of their wits … Do you know that this is the condensed blood of generations of the four vassals? ”I really should chop off your heads …”
”Ha …” Please calm your anger, my lord, we will definitely accept your punishment! ” The heads of the people from the west side touched the ground, they did not dare to retort.
”You want to die?” ”It's not that simple …” Mao Li Yuan De stood up and kicked Shan Xianyoupeng: ”Do you want to push this mess to your master? ”If you want to die, you'll have to resolve the crisis before me …”
”Idiots, all idiots …” Especially your Mountain County, when they see Xiao Letian's army enter the battle, why didn't they immediately retreat? Why did he still want to gamble? If not for your foolishness, how could Gao Shanjinzuo have died? ”I really chose the wrong person …”
”Ha …” Ha... Ten thousand men are to die! Once this matter has been resolved, I will definitely castrate myself and apologize to Gao Shanjun! ”
”Forget it, forget it …” It's useless to talk about it now. Even the Frenchmen would have to avoid Xiao Letian, so our defeat was within reason … ” At this time, the most cunning Mountain Content Hall opened their mouths. This drunken vassal lords had already drunk two bottles of sake, but his eyes were still shining.
”Before the battle, we never expected that Xiao Letian would directly send troops to intervene, and never expected that he would adopt a neutral attitude of not helping either. I am sure that if our Southwest Allied Army had the upper hand at that time, his cannons would have mercilessly fired at us …”
”There are two reasons as well. The first is that we rejected his suggestion to directly send troops, causing him to gradually abandon his attitude towards our alliance …” ”The second point is probably that a strong and united Japan is not in his interest. The more chaotic things become, the more advantageous it will be for him …”
”Ai …” Ever since the appearance of the black boat, it has been difficult for us to solve our domestic problems with our own strength. If the French want to intervene, Xiao Letian will also need to intervene, and in the future, Americans, the British, the Russian and even the Qing Province might need to interfere … ”
”Time does not wait for us. From today onwards, we cannot take another wrong step, because the wrong step might mean that we will never be able to turn the situation around for the rest of our lives!”
The young Dao Jinzhongyi continued, ”That's right, before this, we didn't expect Xiao Letian to intervene, so it is understandable for us to fail due to lack of preparation, but when the war is over, continuing to anger him is extremely unwise …”
”Master Da He, let's put aside the grudge between our two families for now. I only want to ask you, why did you send White Tiger youth to assassinate Sakamoto Ryoma? The Mu Clan must take responsibility for the rage behind Xiao Letian! ”
The internal affairs of the river represented General Tokugawa Yoshinobu, so interrogating him was equivalent to questioning the general. The warrior behind Lord Big River immediately glared at him and held his blade in his hand.
”Please be careful! White Tiger youth was instigated by Hidden Fog Kid, and Hidden Fog Kid has already become our wanted criminal. Furthermore, White Tiger youth has already forbade Xiao Letian from committing such crimes, so it's not like we don't have the attitude towards him … ”
”Then what about the assassination by the Tongzhi Emperor? Who did this? At the very least, we will not be so stupid as to assassinate the emperor of the Great Qing. Dao Jinzhongyi shouted.
