Chapter 386: A Visitor from a Foreign Country
On June 12, the 13th year of astronomy, there was no cloud, and the blue sky was like another sea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the sea more than ten miles southwest of Minato City, a fleet of three merchant ships was sailing. Strangely enough, however, the merchant ships in these fleets were so unique that many of the other local merchant ships passing by looked at this strange caravan in confusion.
On the bow deck of one of the ships at the front of the caravan, two ronin men were looking ahead with excited faces, and behind them stood two men with red hair and green eyes.
"With Saburo, in half an hour, you will be able to reach Kawabe County in Dewa Province." One of the ronins said excitedly to the other.
"Mataro, what is the Tsugawa family, is it really as powerful as you say?" The man who called Saburo said with a look of disbelief.
"Of course, I, Mataro Sasaki, never tell lies! When you get to the territory of the Tsugawa family, you will know that what I said is true. ”
These two people are Sasaki Mataro and Shimazu and Saburo. Since the two of them followed Sardillo's merchant ship to the Ming Kingdom in Tanegashima, they first fell seriously ill along the way, and when they got a little better, they had already arrived in the Ming Kingdom.
For the legendary Ming Kingdom, Sasaki Mataro and Shimazu and Saburo are all very yearning. Now that I have arrived in the Ming Kingdom, I naturally want to go and observe.
It's a pity that the two of them were beaten by the Ming people as soon as they got off the boat, and if they didn't run fast, I am afraid they would have to confess in a foreign country.
Subsequently, after staying in Ningbo Mansion in the Ming Dynasty for half a month. Father Obani couldn't wait for Sardillo to take Sasaki Mataro and others to prepare to go to Dewa Province to find the "servant of the Lord" Tsugawa Soji.
After months of sailing, we are finally reaching our destination.
"Shimazu, is it coming soon?" Shadillo, who was behind him, spoke at this time.
Shimazu and Saburo, who were "out of the cow B" with Sasaki Mataro, heard Shadillo's words and hurriedly turned around and said, "Lord Shadilo, we will be able to reach land in a while." ”
"Great!" Shadilo and Albani on the side said excitedly.
After months of hard work, Shimazu and Saburo were able to communicate with the two of them in a cursory way, while Sasaki Mataro was not keen on learning the languages of other countries.
"First mate, get the fleet up and we're coming!" Shadilo said loudly to the first mate behind him.
"Yes, my lord!" The first mate hurriedly replied.
"Pull up the sails and go full throttle!"
............
Minato Dozaki and Saigo Kizo were counting the merchant ships coming and going in the port at this time, and collecting merchant taxes and duties. Since coming to Dozaki Minato, Saigo Kizo hasn't had a good rest for a long time.
I used to be busy dealing with government affairs in the Tsugawa family, but at least I had time to rest. But in Minatojo, Saigo Kizo finally realized the true meaning of the words "hard work" that Tsugawa Soji said when he was leaving.
If I could make Saigo Kizuku choose again, Saigo Kizuku would definitely choose to stay........
"What's that?"
"What a big ship!"
At this time, a commotion interrupted Saigo's reverie.
Saigo Kizo's eyes widened as he looked in the direction the crowd was pointing.
Saigo Kizo has seen a lot of ships in Minato in Dozaki during this time, but this is the first time I've seen a ship like the one that appears in my eyes now.
"It's so big, I don't know where it came from." Saigo Kizo thought in shock.
It didn't take long for the "big ship" to finally come to shore.
"Gao Hu Zhengxin, the herald is on alert!" Saigo Kizo said loudly to the Dozaki Minato guard behind him, Takahu Masanobu.
"Hah!"
"Everyone's on alert!" Gao Hu Zhengxin shouted loudly.
Takatora Masanobu was invited by Ogasawara Nobusaki from Shinano to the Tsugawa family, and was then pulled by Saigo Kizo to serve as a Tsuchizakito garrison. At present, he is the head of the ashigaru, and there is a squadron of ashigaru under his command.
"Saigo-sama! Is it Saigo-sama? At this time, a voice from a boat caught Saigo's attention.
"Saigo-sama, it's me! Sasaki Mataro! At this time, a dark shadow rushed over quickly.
"Protect your lordship!" Gao Hu Masanobu on the side hurriedly looked at Sasaki Matataro who rushed over vigilantly.
Saigo Kizo also recognized Sasaki Taro at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Takuto, let the ashigaru people disperse, it's not an enemy." ”
"Hah!"
Saigo Kizo came to Sasaki Mataro's side, looked at Sasaki Mataro with a stubble on his face, and laughed and said, "Haha! Taro Matata, I haven't seen you for many days, where have you been? How did it get like this? ”
"Alas! Don't mention it. It wasn't because of a letter from Tsugawa-sama that I went all the way to Tanegashima in the southern part of Kyushu Island, and then followed these people to Ming Province. It took more than a year to come back. Sasaki Mataro pointed to the Sardillo and the others who had just come off the ship behind him and said helplessly.
Saigo Kizo looked in the direction that Sasaki Mataro was pointing at, and he didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was startled when he saw it.
"This .... Who is this? Saigo Kizo stammered at Sasaki Mataro and said, "Who are these people?" Why does it look so strange? ”
Not only Saigo Kizo, but also the other people present also turned their eyes to Shadilo and the others, looking at Shadilo and the others like monsters.
Sasaki Matataro hurriedly told Saigo Kizo about the situation.
After listening to Sasaki Mataro's words, Saigo Kizo finally understood what was going on.
However, Sasaki Mataro said suspiciously, "Why is Saigo-sama in Minatojo?" Shouldn't this be the domain of the Minato family? ”
It's no wonder that Sasaki Mataro would ask like this, Sasaki Mataro, who has been "wandering" outside for more than a year, certainly doesn't know the changes that have taken place in Dewa Province between this thought. Saigo Kizo hurriedly explained, "Haha, you don't know yet, right? The main family has defeated the Hiyama Andong family and the Minato Anto family, and occupied the Minato Castle. Now, the family is the most powerful force in the Yugo region. ”
"Awesome!" Sasaki Mataro exclaimed, "I didn't expect that in just one year, the Tsugawa family has changed a lot!" Tsukawa-sama is amazing! ”
While he was talking, Shadilo and Obani behind him came to Sasaki Mataro's side, and Shimazu and Saburo also hurriedly followed.
"Shimazu, tell this person quickly, our people need food and water." Shadillo said to Shimazu and Saburo.
Shimazu and Saburo nodded, and then said to Saigo Kizo, "This lord! In Shimoshimazu and Saburo, he is a companion of Matataro. These Nanban people hoped that the adults would provide them with some food and water. ”
Saigo Muzo nodded, turned around and whispered a few words to Gao Hu Zhengxin on the side, Gao Hu Zhengxin nodded and left.
Saigo Kizo hurriedly turned his head and said, "Mataro, you take these two Nanban people to rest in the castle tower. I immediately sent someone to report the matter to my lord. ”
"It's good!" Sasaki Mataro nodded, motioning to Shimazu and Saburo to explain the situation to the two of Sardillo.
After Shimazu and Saburo whispered a few words to the two of them, Shadilo and Obama nodded and followed Sasaki Mataro towards the castle tower.
"God above, I have finally set foot in this place that needs your holy light......... Father Obani thought excitedly as he looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings.
