The "Three-leaf Sunflower" with black background and gold patterns is blowing in the gentle wind, sometimes rolling and sometimes relaxing.

It is worthy of spending millions of taels of gold and mobilizing 3,000 people in Shangluo team, and the formation is indeed huge.

Generally speaking, the general's army is organized by the marching organization of the front, front, central, rear, and Hetu.

In the front-drive team, sometimes there are dew brushes (similar to guides), sometimes there are gun-carrying people (gun-carrying) or suitcases (carrying) to take the lead.

Because from the marks on the spear and the box holder, you can tell which team this is.

Therefore, these props at the forefront have important significance.

The second is the head of things and the "speech" led by him.

In order to strengthen the security, the disciples held a 6-foot long stick and wore a half-wrapped and long-hayao.

[Note: Chaintang: A very lightweight short top is often used as work clothes or cold-proof clothing. The biggest feature is that there is no need to tuck the collar into the right lapel, and there is no button on the chest]

Then there is the "First-hand bow team" (the permanent archery team of the Shogunate).

The archers put the bow into the bow and arrow table (the box that stores the bow body), and held the bow and arrow table with one hand like a rifle, carrying it on their shoulders.

Behind the first bow group is the "Yagujiji".

The arrow cabinet holds two boxes of arrow cabinets with one shoulder with a shoulder pole, next to it is a replacement transporter.

Secondly, it is the front army carrying the first iron cannon team.

Sometimes the first-hand iron gun team will be arranged in the central army or the rear army.

The important officials riding horses - such as Lao Zhong, Ruo Nian, were also among the front army.

The grooms followed the important officials on horseback and led the horses for them.

Qingdeng has already seen two acquaintances - Old Nakami Mizuno Tadaege and Orchiduran Katsushiki, who is also Old Nakami.

Qingdeng has no selfish relationship with these two people.

But during the time he was a employed person at the gang and Otaki, he worked with them for a while.

Qing Deng's evaluation of these two people is only one sentence: a very typical official.

With the protection of his ancestors, he became an old man above thousands of people, but he did not have much ability.

When working, I don’t see how diligent they are.

When stumble on fishing and rushing the blame, we are more diligent in our careers.

Let them work, so they can maximize their "qualities" such as taking time off and hiding, cheating and cheating.

But they are very smart about "shirking responsibility" and "reversing black and white".

Looking back on the time I worked with these guys, Qingdeng had the idea of ​​"pulling out his waist knife and experiencing the pros and cons with these officials" more than once.

Next is the general's horse.

The horse is the horse that the general rode when he was wearing a sedan chair. He wore a thick three-horned body (face, chest, and buttocked body). He installed gorgeous saddle stirrups on the cut, muscle and mud barrier, covered with saddle covers with beautiful patterns, and put on a tail bag, and followed by two grooms.

Luo Cara stared at the extremely cool horse, blinked a few times, and turned her head silently and looked at Qingdeng.

“Moo moo…”

The screams were mixed with a strong sense of grievance.

Seeing this, Qingdeng couldn't help but smile helplessly.

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Radish's big head.

"I know, I'll change you into the same outfit later."

"Moo moo!"

The carrot cried again.

However, its cry this time was no longer a grievance statement, but a cheerful cry full of excitement.

It happily shook its slender tail behind its butt, shaking and shaking.

——After that… Where is His Highness Tianzhangyuan now?

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but look up, looking for the pretty widow's figure.

It is reported that the Tianzhangyuan is also on the list of personnel accompanying Tokugawa Ishimaki Kano.

This is a rare thing.

Logically speaking, the Ootai Office, which is the "Empress Dowager", will not leave Edo Castle easily.

This also indirectly shows that the shogunate attached great importance to the Sui Luo this time, and even the "Empress Dowager" was dispatched.

Tianzhangyuan has a special identity and is unlikely to show up without hesitation like others.

Even if she wants to show up, she should wear a scarf or a low-edged hat with insects sewn.

[Note: The hanging silk sewn on the edge of the hat is generally translucent tulle.]

Although he knew that he was doing useless work and it was impossible to find the pretty widow in the crowd, Qingdeng still looked around for a moment before silently retracting his gaze.

——She should be hiding in a sedan chair now...

At this time, the loud neigh of the horse "吉" brought Qingdeng's mind back to reality.

After leading a horse, there were a large number of horse-riding warriors.

All of these warriors riding tall horses were dressed in perfect clothes.

Wearing a black bamboo hat, gorgeous clothes, a bamboo hat covering the rain and sun, and the swords around her waist are all wrapped tightly with velvet handle bags.

The equipment level of this group of horse-riding warriors is far higher than that of the guns that Qingdeng had just seen, the first-hand bow team and the first-hand iron gun team.

The lord is beautiful and the privilege of riding a horse...the identities of these warriors are about to emerge.

It is the small surname group that is one of the "Sanfan Groups".

The small group - one of the general's personal guards, with a total of 8 groups, and they are responsible for escorting the general in peacetime or wartime.

Since I saw the group of Xiao’s surname, it means it is not far from Tokugawa Ieshiro.

In the Edo period, the style of the sedan represents the identity level.

The sedan chairs used by generals and daimyos in the vassal states were mostly black painted cages that could put down the curtains.

There are handrails on the inner corner, and gorgeous flower and grass patterns and scenery are painted inside. Most of them are Yamato styles. Turn the roof of the entrance and exit upwards and turns it into a sliding door.

The larger the size of the sedan rod used to carry a sedan, the more noble the identity is.

The person carrying the sedan chair is called "Lu Chi".

The general, the three families, and the three families of Yu Sanqing were all wearing black silk feathers, and there was a gap between the waist.

Generally, the Lu Clippers of famous masters wear a quilt called Lu Clippers, with patterns painted on their shoulders.

The number of land rulers is linked to the status of the person riding in the sedan chair.

There are five Lu Chi in front and behind the general's sedan chair.

Depending on the status and status, there are 4, 3 or 2, 3.

Some Daming teams also carry Lu Chi's hand-man (replacement personnel).

The horse-riding warriors from the small group walked past Qingdeng one after another.

Not long after, an extremely luxurious sedan slowly jumped into its sight.

Horse-riding warriors from the small group surrounded the sedan chair, and stars surrounded it like moonlight.

This sedan is called "Zonggang Dai Liutu", and is a special sedan that can only be used by the generals of the Conquering Yi.

No need for other people's reminder - Qingdeng and Matsuhira Tomosaki rolled over and dismounted (the cow) in sequence, knelt on one knee, and slipped to the general guide... To be precise, it was a salute to the people inside.

Kondo and others behind them also lowered their bodies.

The general guide slowly slowed down and finally stopped in front of Qingdeng and Matsuhira Tomosa.

With a dong ——, Lu Chi and his friends put down their sedan chairs steadily.

As soon as the sedan chair fell to the ground, Jin Xi (the close waiter) on the side walked up and flipped up the roof of the entrance and exit of the sedan chair, exposed the sliding door, and then pushed it away with a "whistle".

Just the moment the door opened-

"Qingdeng, Rong Bao, long time no see."

Whether it is the voice or the foot sound immediately afterwards, Qingdeng feels extremely familiar and kind

"You all get up."

Aoden and Matsuhira Tomosa responded in unison, and then stood up at the same time.

His eyes left the ground and moved to his face - the familiar young face suddenly came into his eyes.

Tokugawa Ishimaki, who was covered in gorgeous clothes, swept his eyes and looked at Aoden from head to toe:

"Qingdeng, you don't seem to have changed much."
To be continued...
