On the vast sea, a fleet of thirteen cargo ships and five armed cargo ships were sailing from Ben Harbor in Taiwan to Nagasaki, and these eighteen ships were loaded with porcelain, silk, and all kinds of valuables from the Ming Dynasty and the South Seas.

The ship in the middle is a large Fu ship, in addition to being fully loaded with cargo, this Fu ship is also carrying three Hongyi cannons, sixteen bowls and dozens of guns, for an ordinary cargo ship, this armed merchant ship can be said to be armed to the teeth.

On the deck in front, Shi Daxuan, who was wearing a black robe, leaned on the mast, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, which is now very popular in Daming, looking at the scenery in front of him, with a comfortable look on his face.

As a member of the eighteen Zhilong Group of Zheng Zhilong, Shi Daxuan is very valued by Zheng Zhilong on weekdays, but because he was mainly responsible for the maritime trade of Zheng Zhilong Group in the past, his reputation is not obvious on weekdays, but if his son is mentioned, I believe that many people will know him, his son is not someone else, or Shi Lang, the general of the Qing army who led Qing soldiers to conquer Taiwan in another historical time and space.

As an old man who often travels between Taiwan, Nanyang and Nagasaki, Shi Daxuan has long been very familiar with this route, and it can be said that he can not go wrong with his eyes closed, and now their fleet has come to the Tsushima Strait, which is less than 100 nautical miles from Nagasaki, and at most they can go ashore in Nagasaki in the evening, and then they can enjoy the geisha performance in the pantry while tasting the food of Fuso. Thinking of the petite, delicate and fair skin unique to Fusang women, Shi Daxuan felt a heat surging up from his lower abdomen.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was dark and short, wearing a wide robe, a pair of clogs on his feet, and a wild knife hanging from his waist, walked up to him.

This is a very typical Japanese samurai dress, the reason why Japanese samurai dress like this is because the samurai's hair tends to fall out for various reasons during the war, and then the hair on the middle and front of the head will cover the face, block the view, and affect the battle. As a result, some samurai shaved off the hair on the middle and front of the head, so that even if the hair was scattered during the battle, it would only be scattered on the sides of the head and back, and would not affect the vision. Because of its effect, the samurai followed suit, and over time it became an unwritten tradition, although this shaving was limited to the samurai class.

The Japanese samurai walked up to Shi Daxuan's side and asked respectfully in Chinese: "My lord, it seems that we can rush to Nagasaki before dark, I hope you can stay in Nagasaki for a few more days this time, and our mistress hopes to be able to toast you personally tonight, to thank you for your care of the young master in the past two years." ”

Shi Daxuan's gaze lingered on the middle-aged warrior for a moment, and then he smiled: "Don't dare to be, Ishii-kun is polite." Ah Sen is not only your young master, he is also the young master of my Shi someone, and it is right to assist the young master. ”

"No...... You are wrong. The middle-aged samurai, that is, Jiro Ishii, said: "The main mother invited you out of a mother's love for her child and her gratitude to you, please don't refuse, please!" After speaking, Jiro Ishii bowed deeply to Shi Daxuan.

Seeing Jiro Ishii so solemnly inviting himself on behalf of his mother, Shi Daxuan sighed lightly in his heart, it seems that his plan to have fun tonight is about to fail.

At this time, a slightly immature child's voice sounded next to him, "Uncle Shi, Uncle Ishii, it turns out that you are here, no wonder I can't find you everywhere after I get up." ”

As the words fell, a four-year-old child, wearing a royal blue robe, who looked very pink and cute, walked up to them, and while he spoke, he took Shi Daxuan's hand and said happily: "Uncle Shi, I heard Uncle Ishii say just now that my mother invited you to my house as a guest when I arrived in Nagasaki, is that so?" ”

Seeing this child, Shi Daxuan's originally slightly plain face showed a hint of love, he bent down and smiled: "Yes, Uncle Shi is going to Asen's house for dinner tonight, and Asen said okay?" ”

"Of course!" The child clapped his hands happily, "Uncle hasn't been to Asen's house for dinner for a long time, and this time Asen asked her mother to make her best sashimi for you to eat." ”

"Uh......" After hearing the word sashimi, the look on Shi Daxuan's face stiffened for a moment, and then he smiled again, and nodded a little reluctantly: "Okay!" ”

"Great...... He's all right......" After hearing Shi Daxuan's promise, the child clapped his hands and jumped up happily.

Seeing the happy appearance of the child, even Jiro Ishii, who always looks serious on weekdays, showed a look of love on his face.

"Shi Dangjia...... Unknown ships have been spotted in front of the left, and they are approaching us! ”

Suddenly, the voice of a lookout came from the rear mast.

"Unidentified ship?"

Shi Daxuan and Ishii Jiro glanced at each other, and each saw the solemn look in each other's eyes, and the unidentified ship was heading towards him, which was undoubtedly a dangerous signal for the merchant ships sailing on the sea.

As soon as he heard that an unknown ship was approaching, Shi Daxuan immediately ordered without thinking: "Pass my order, all ships immediately hang their sails with full sails, and ships with artillery will be guarding the perimeter!" ”

"Yes!"

With Shi Daxuan's order, the sail pilots immediately began to hang up the sails, and under the impetus of the wind, the speed of the boat was obviously happier, but due to the speed, the hull also began to sway back and forth a little.

The boy was young after all, and as the deck shook incessantly, he began to lose some ground.

Seeing this, Shi Daxuan said to Ishii Jiro: "Ishii-kun, you will take the young master to the cabin immediately, it is not very safe on the deck." ”

"Hey!"

Ishii Jiro didn't talk nonsense, and quickly picked up the child and walked towards the cabin, but before he could enter the cabin, he heard the slightly frightened voice of the lookout: "Shi Dangjia, it's not good, it's the sailor who came...... It's the sailor of the Ming Kingdom! ”

"Mingguo's sailor!"

Shi Daxuan's heart jumped violently after hearing this, he didn't talk nonsense, strode to the left side of the ship, took out the clairvoyant mirror from his arms and looked to the left, and a sun and moon flag fluttering in the wind immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

Looking at this erected flag, Shi Daxuan's heart jumped suddenly, and a huge sense of fear surged into his heart, and he shouted almost without thinking: "Order...... Preparing for ...... Preparing for ......"
