"What the hell is that bastard doing? Didn't I already warn him? He must handle the relationships with his subordinates properly. If he can't even do this, what qualifications does he have to form an alliance with me?"
Fukuda Yasukawa cursed and said that the only thing he was better than Ito Taro was this place. If a riot broke out here, he would have no right to say these words.
Fukuda Yasukawa also wrote to Ito Taro about what he had just said to his men. However, Ito Taro himself had a bad temper. When he heard that a foreigner had insulted a woman here, how could Ito Taro bear it? He immediately hanged the guy from a tree and prepared to let him die in the sun.
The people who came with that guy were ready to rescue people, and a conflict broke out between the two sides. As a result, 4 people on Ito Taro's side died, and 9 people on the other side died.
After Taro Ito learned the news, he arrested all the 70-plus people and prepared to throw them into the sea to feed the fish. However, the more than 1,000 outsiders were unwilling to do so. At this moment, the more than 1,000 outsiders had gathered and were ready to discuss an explanation with Taro Ito.
Taro Ito is already very angry, and you guys still want to ask me for an explanation, so I might as well wipe you all out. It is said that the fighting has already started outside Ito County City.
When Fukuda Yasukawa and his men arrived, the area was already a river of blood.
"This damn bastard is going to ruin all our plans."
Futian Yasukawa said angrily, but he didn't dare to bring anyone over. If he did, the people on both sides would be so angry that they wouldn't care who he was. He might even lose his life without knowing it.
Fukuda Yasukawa was puzzled. Why were your men so brave now? Why didn't your men rush in and slaughter everyone when they encountered Suzuki Nakatasu's army that day? Now they are so excited to kill their own people, but when they encounter the enemy, they become weaklings.
In the end, Ito Taro's army was powerful. After all, most of the rebels from all over the country were farmers and fishermen. They had not received any training, so they were no match for the regular army. They had only relied on the courage in their hearts before, but now that they saw blood, this courage was of no use. Hundreds of people were killed in an instant.
"Are you here to see my joke?"
Taro Ito's body was also covered in a lot of blood. He had been very depressed for some time. This battle was just the right opportunity for him to relax a little, otherwise he would have gotten sick.
"I don't bother to argue with you. We've been surrounded by them. People coming from all over have been intercepted by them. We can't expect any other support, so now we have to adopt the second plan and mobilize everyone in our territory to fight."
The killing has already happened to this extent, but Fukuda Yasukawa is unwilling to blame this guy. He knows that this guy has a strong self-esteem. If you scold him harshly, he might immediately take out a knife and fight you to the death. Such a thing is definitely possible. Didn't you see that these dead people are supposed to be his allies?
"I've anticipated this. You're going to issue a nationwide manifesto. Look at what kind of people are coming here. They can't make it in their local area, so they want to get a piece of the pie. We don't have enough food of our own, and we have to give some to them. And look what they do after they're full. All they do is rob and insult women."
Fukuda Yasukawa did not say that Ito Taro did anything wrong. Instead, Ito Taro was very angry. At that time, Ito Taro said, gather all the people in your and my territory, there will be hundreds of thousands of troops, the worst case scenario is to fight with the Tang army, but you insisted on gathering all the capable fighters in Fuso. Now look, instead of them going to fight against the Tang army, they killed more than 100 of my people first.
"I won't argue with you about this. We must remain calm right now. These people will be cannon fodder on the battlefield in the future. If you kill them now, you will have to send your own people to the battlefield in the future."
Fukuda Yasukawa threw down a sentence and left with his men. In his opinion, he and Ito Taro were not on the same level at all. This guy was simply a fool. Talking to him too much lowered his IQ.
Taro Ito opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He also knew what Fukuda Yasukawa had just said, but he just couldn't help it. I give you food and drink, but you are still doing evil in my territory. Looking at the angry eyes of his subordinates, if I don't kill you, how can I explain to them?
"Pass the order down. All men between the ages of 15 and 55, and women between the ages of 20 and 40, are to enlist in the army. From now on, they are soldiers, and they will defend Ito County Castle to the death."
Taro Ito said viciously, and the people below were also shocked. They all had families. You know, they were soldiers themselves, and they served in the army to support their families. They also knew how cruel the battlefield was. Now Taro Ito actually let all the people in their family join the army. Isn't this crazy?
"Your family members can be arranged in the logistics department, but no one else can."
Taro Ito was not completely stupid. When he saw that the people around him did not take any action, he knew what to do. He had to win over some people's hearts. Even if he fled overseas in the future, these people would still be his most loyal subordinates.
"yes."
After hearing this, his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief. Ito Taro still had more than 6,000 capable fighters under his command. The families of these people did not need to join the army, but the remaining 70,000 to 80,000 people had to join the army. Although this army did not have much combat effectiveness, at least it could strengthen its momentum in terms of numbers.
Of course, Ito Taro also understood that if these people were killed, then there would be no so-called inheritance on this land, because all the people on this land were dead.
But he has no choice now. Neither he nor Fukuda Yasukawa has any choice. They are the leaders of the rebels. The Tang Dynasty court has issued warrants for their arrest. Both of their heads are worth tens of thousands of strings of cash. If they do not resist to the end, they will only be beheaded by others.
Fight against the Tang Dynasty and be the last man standing!
