"He needs to be severely punished,"

"Strip him naked!"

This time, those who charged out were all armored soldiers.

They quickly surrounded the enemy, guns drawn and bows raised.

They also disarmed Taira no Tadamori's samurai.

"what did they say?"

Taira no Tadamori asked about the built-in translator.

The translator said, "The Ming general said we were impolite."

"They should be stripped naked and humiliated."

Taira no Tadamori was greatly alarmed.

Just as he was about to draw his sword to fight back,

However, they were held down by Ming soldiers.

They stripped off their clothes and dragged them to the castle town for public humiliation.

Not only that, but the samurai that Taira no Tadamori brought...

They were all stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

"You bastard, let me go!"

"I am an envoy sent by the French Emperor,"

"I am the valiant warrior of the North!"

"..."

Countless people came to watch.

The samurai were so ashamed that they wanted to commit suicide.

They were completely naked, it was so embarrassing.

Taira no Tadamori was so angry that his eyes turned red.

Her legs were tightly pressed together to cover her crotch.

Dragged along the street, roaring angrily:

"I swear in the name of Amaterasu,"

"I will definitely lead my troops to slaughter you all..."

I was humiliated for quite a while.

The Ming army threw these guys on the ground.

After mocking him, he arrogantly left.

Taira no Tadamori hurriedly clutched his groin and rushed into a house, roaring:

"Quickly, find my clothes!"

The samurai ran naked to look for clothes.

But then I saw their clothes and armor,

They were actually dressed up by a group of prostitutes.

There were Ming soldiers nearby who were laughing heartily.

After all that trouble, they finally managed to get the common people to contribute clothes.

Taira no Tadamori and his samurai fled in disarray.

Xue Daoguang stood on the city wall,

Having witnessed the entire farce, he frowned and asked:

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

Zhao Xiaozhong had an indifferent attitude:

"Don't push them too far,"

"Why would they risk everything to bring back a large army for revenge?"

"When I left the capital, His Majesty said that as long as I could bring the silver back to the country,"

"We'll use any means necessary."

Meanwhile, Taira no Tadamori left in a sorry state.

Walking along the valley for several miles,

Suddenly a group of warriors rushed out.

Yuan Sheng and his men knelt in the valley.

"Who are you?" Taira no Tadamori asked.

Motonori replied, "I am the governor of Tsushima appointed by the Dazaifu."

“His name is Abiru Motomori.”

Taira no Tadamori remembered: "You've already defected to the Ming Dynasty?"

Yuan Sheng, with snot and tears streaming down his face, wailed:

"Those Ming troops suddenly attacked Tsushima Island,"

"I was forced to surrender as well."

"The territory of Tsushima Island has been occupied by the Ming army."

"They agreed to exchange land from Iwami Province,"

"But they can only compensate my Masuda family with one-third of their land."

"Even if there is compensation, it's not a big deal,"

"But it's just for show,"

"All the warriors there have been subdued by the Ming army."

Chapter 3220 Legitimate Official Positions

"I can't command anyone,"

"The grain harvested later,"

"It will definitely be taken away by the Ming army."

After hearing these words, Taira no Tadamori

Gradually regaining his composure, he asked:

"Why are some of the Ming soldiers wearing iron armor?"

"But some of them are wearing nice cloth armor?"

Yuan Sheng began reciting his lines:

"This General Zhao is the adopted son of the Ming Emperor,"

He was extremely favored by the Ming emperor.

"Those under his command who wore brightly colored cloth armor,"

"They are all sons of nobles and wealthy families from the Ming Dynasty,"

"One can only gain military merit by crossing the sea with the army through bribery."

"These people don't understand warfare,"

"They drink and have fun every day,"

"They are all very rich."

"And those wearing iron armor,"

"They are the true warriors of the Ming Dynasty."

"This kind of warrior is very powerful,"

"Capture Tsushima Island and Iwami Castle,"

"It all depends on these soldiers charging ahead."

Taira no Tadamori asked, "How many Ming soldiers spend their days drinking and indulging in pleasure?"

"How many Ming soldiers were capable of fighting in iron armor?"

Yuan Sheng said, "Each side has half, totaling more than two thousand people."

After thinking it over, Taira no Tadamori said to Motonori:

"If you defeat the Ming army in this battle, I will personally seek a reward for you."

Yuan Sheng said, "I dare not hope for anything else."

"I only ask for a post in Tsushima."

"It's the real Tsushima no Mamoru!"

Tsushima Island is not currently official Japanese territory.

It was essentially a forward position to defend against pirates.

The leader was merely appointed by the prefecture or kingdom.

The central government does not approve.

Without a valid judgeship and salary,

They also do not need to pay annual tribute to the prefectures and kingdoms.

That is,

Yuan Sheng wasn't even considered a proper official in Japan.

He's just a mercenary leader stationed on an island!

Taira no Tadamori immediately made a promise:

"As long as you stay in Iwami and act as an inside agent,"

"After defeating the Ming army, I will seek a formal official position for you."

Yuan Sheng was overjoyed and knelt down to kowtow.

I am deeply grateful.

Taira no Tadashi exclaimed in admiration, "He is truly a man of loyalty and righteousness!"

……

Taira no Tadamori suffered humiliation.

He ordered his warriors to

No further discussion of today's events is permitted.

Furthermore, the scandal must not be allowed to reach Heian-kyo.

He returned to Emperor Toba, filled with rage, and said:

"More than two thousand soldiers from the Ming Dynasty have arrived."

"Half of them are from wealthy families,"

"They don't know how to fight,"

"They drink, play, and have fun every day."

"The other half is a true samurai,"
