Chapter 435 The Weird Yagyu Munomi

"But Ma Mamoru...is it a very powerful official position?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked doubtfully to the people on the side.

"But Ma Shou, even if you say he is great, he is great, but if you say he is average, he is average."

The person who answered her question was Hohoin Yinshun. He thought for a moment, as if thinking about something, "This official position itself is a sinecure, and there are more than ten sinecures at this level, but after all, he came from Edo If you come here, no one can neglect you, not even Matsudaira Shimomo."

However, Mamori's official position is just an official position. It does not have its own duties and responsibilities. It is equivalent to a guest minister. But since he comes from Edo, he must be a big shot in the shogunate. Even if he is a great name, he cannot be neglected. It's a bit like the emperor's envoy.

"Furthermore, if this person is Tajima Mamoru Yagyu, then we need to be even more careful."

He continued to add: "After all, in this era, when it comes to Yagyu Tajima Mamoru, it must be Yagyu Jubei's father, Yagyu Munenomi!"

Although Miyamoto Musashi is indeed a very famous swordsman in the island country, after all, with a history of more than two thousand years, there are still as many powerful swordsmen as there are stars in the sky.

The Yagyu family is one of them.

As one of the few three generations of Yagyu swordsmen, these three generations of father and son are also famous in history and have the reputation of "Yagyu three-day dog".

Although Yagyu Jubei Sangen among them is said to have swordsmanship that surpasses Yagyu Ishishusai and Yagyu Tajima Mamoru, and is the strongest among the three generations, Yagyu Taima Shumune is more famous than him.

Not only did he practice Yagyu Shininryu to the extreme, he was also the swordsmanship teacher of the second and third generation Tokugawa shoguns. He was deeply trusted by Tokugawa. He himself was a famous politician and military strategist in history, and was very good at strategy.

Among the swordsmen of this era, apart from Miyamoto Musashi, Yagyu Tajima Mamoru is the most famous.

"No matter how powerful he is, he is just an ordinary person... He doesn't look that simple."

Esdeath also turned his attention to the old swordsman who was speaking in the crowd, with a look of interest on his face, "Although he is indeed an ordinary person, my intuition tells me that that old guy is quite... Unusual and interesting.”

With just one glance, anyone can tell that this old man is extraordinary. Regardless of the swordsman who is proficient in swordsmanship, even ordinary people can vaguely detect the sharpness in his bones.

Anyone who can become a highly anticipated and unparalleled master has his own unique aura. For example, emperors and generals will give people a sense of leadership aura, while swordsmen and other warriors will have fighting spirit. Killers also have murderous intent.

And the vague sense of sharpness this old swordsman gives is the vague sword energy he possesses.

It is said to be "qi", but it can also be said to be "momentum".

It is an aura that faces all difficulties and obstacles and cuts off all injustices and dangers. If he attacks anyone, he does not need to draw his sword. Just a look containing the aura is enough to scare people with fear, anxiety, and fighting spirit. Big fall.

Ruka's eyes also fell on Yagyu Tajima Mamoru.

At first glance, it seems that this old man is really just an ordinary person, just a body of flesh and blood. Although he has practiced swordsmanship, his physical strength is still no match for the servants who are far superior to ordinary people. Even if he is stronger among ordinary people, he is still no match for the servants. the opponent.

But his momentum is quite terrifying.

Although this kind of momentum suppression was not effective against Liu Xia, it did not prevent him from realizing how powerful the opponent was. In terms of swordsmanship, this guy was definitely at the forefront of history.

"Shimabara Rebellion..."

Different from other people’s concerns,

What Fujimaru Ritsuka was paying attention to at the moment was the Shimabara Rebellion that the other party had just mentioned, and it suddenly became clear in his heart.

"By the way, this year is indeed the second year after the end of the Shimabara Rebellion."

She seemed to have some realization, and then glanced at Liu Xia.

Lucia noticed her gaze and looked back at her.

After the two of them looked at each other, they agreed with their previous suspicions.

The so-called "Shimabara Rebellion" refers to the peasant uprising that took place in the Shimabara area between 637 and 63 to resist the oppression and religious persecution of the Tokugawa clan, which lasted for a total of four months.

The leader of the uprising was a sixteen-year-old boy who believed in Catholicism - Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. According to history, he was very courageous and resourceful. With an army of no more than 30,000 ordinary people, he won consecutive battles and won many battles. Territory, the shogunate was so frightened that he quickly mobilized various vassal armies and besieged the city with an army of 120,000 for more than two months before the rebel army was defeated due to lack of supplies.

In view of this, in the eyes of believers, Amakusa Shiro, who led this religious uprising, is also known as a "saint" in the island country, and is compared to famous historical saints such as George, Joan of Arc, and Martha.

The current time point is 639, which is just one year after the end of the Shimabara Rebellion. Yagyu Tajima Mamoru said that all his subordinates have gone through the Shimabara Rebellion, which does make sense in terms of time.

"But it's just a battle of 120,000 against 30,000. Can soldiers who have experienced that kind of battle be considered elites? Elites in this era are really cheap."

If we really want to talk about elites, only those troops under Esdeath who have experienced the slaughter of foreign nations in the south, the slaughter of foreign nations in the north, and the defeat of foreign nations in the west can be considered truly elite. This kind of troops who participated in the battle of 120,000 versus 30,000 The army, at best, has just seen blood.

"However, everything in the army is fine... This man himself is very strange."

Ruka focused all her attention on Yagyu Tajima Mamoru, who was riding a horse below, and then turned off all the extra senses on her body and turned on the ability to "transparent the world".

"For an old man, his body is too energetic."

Under his [Transparent World] surveillance, Yagyu Tajima Mamoru's body was very healthy, and probably because of his intentional control, the blood flow, heart beating, muscle undulations, etc. in the body were all very smooth and powerful, as if It seems that he is accumulating the power to kill at any time.

However, for an old man who is nearly seventy years old, his body is actually too healthy, abnormally healthy, and the vitality of his body is inexplicably very strong... There is a sense of exuberance that even if he is hacked to death, he can be resurrected.

As if aware of his gaze, Yagyu Tajima Mamoru turned his head on his horse and looked at Liu Xia who was standing by the window on the second floor. The sword energy in his eyes was extremely oppressive.

Liu Xia turned a blind eye to this momentum, but her eyes were still wandering around him.

Yagyu Tajimamoru's eyes swept over him, and his heartbeat did not even beat faster. Then his eyes turned to Miyamoto Musashi beside him——

"Boom!"

At this moment, his heart beat obviously faster.

Liu Xia, on the other hand, had already seen this change in him, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
