The southern edge of Kitagijima, the largest island in the Kasaoka Islands, was the site of Mashiro's advance, a place called Manabejima, which was built on a small island guarded by about 100 people, and a third of the buildings on the periphery were built with stumps on the mudflats, making it look like a slightly armed shrine rather than a castle. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info) Because Manabe Island is an important transportation point and safe haven on an important route in the Seto Inland Sea, and there is a fresh water on the island, which is even more important, so those merchant ships coming and going to the Seto Inland Sea will unconsciously dock nearby, and the pirates can also sell the stolen goods to these merchant ships, and naturally form a small town. Murakami Takeyoshi valued the strategic significance and commercial value of Manabe Island, expelled the salt-saturated pirates who originally occupied Manabejima, defeated the salt-saturated pirates several times, and completely occupied Manabe Island.
In the area of the water island beach on the east side of Manabejima, a sekibune led by twelve Kozao is slowly leaning towards Iwamiyazaki, there are more reefs near Iwamiyazaki than Manabe Bay, but the leader of the way is a sailor who was a Murakami water thief, obviously the reef in the water is not much different for them, but the speed is a little slower, like a turtle crawling, and the torch is also extinguished when passing through Kitagijima. When approaching Iwa Miyazaki, the ship began to anchor and moored, of course, it was not that he did not want to dock, but it was dark, and it was difficult for even a skilled hand to land accurately, because there was no dock nearby, and the closer to the island reef, the more it became, if it insisted on docking, it would hit the reef all of a sudden, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The low draft in the early morning is unscrupulous, and the speed is like a turtle. Shimamasori was holding a candle and looking at the chart, with a resolute look on his face, he raised his head and looked at the same resolute Koji Captain Zuobei and whispered, "Captain Zuobei, do you want to tell me if there will be people from the Murakami family stationed in Miyaiwasaki?" β
Shimamasa Rino was the jodai of Nishihama Castle, and he was stationed in the Kasaoka area with Murakami Matsu, and it had been a long time since he had been drifting on the sea like he was now, or at night, when it was difficult for sailors to sail fast in the Seto Inland Sea all year round, and he didn't know about the garrison on Manabe Island.
Captain Koji Zuobei shifted his steps, glanced at the night outside the cabin, and replied, "Murakami Keihiro is different from his father Murakami, he looks like a gentleman on the outside, but he is a reckless guy on the inside, he will definitely not offend the priests of Miyaiwa Shrine, but we still have to be careful of the people of Miyaiwa Shrine." β
Shimamasori nodded and responded: "It should be so, then we are safe for the time being, the number of people at the Miyawa Shrine is only more than ten people, but it occupies the largest freshwater area on Manabe Island except for the main base Miyawazaki, they are not good men and women, but we are not afraid of them." β
The left guard of Koji nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "There is also a small morning boat at Miyaiwa Shrine, Your Highness, do you have any good plans?" β
Zhengheng looked at the night for a while, and said lightly: "It's almost dawnγ»Masatoshi Shima, you lead thirty people to land on Miyawasaki in three small morning boats, and seize Miyazaki Shrine at night, and then you will be the new priest, and the others will land with me in Manabe Port when the sky is dark, I want to capture all the ships on Manabe Island, and our ships are still too few to take care of the defense of the Kasaoka Islands." β
Shimamasori and Captain Kotera Zuobei glanced at each other and asked, "Your Highness, what should they do if they cage the castle γ» The island has enough water and food, don't worry about them thinking of escaping in the short term, once they stick to it for a long time, the food and water sources on our ship will not last long, and the Murakami Navy will come to the rescue soon, what should we do?" β
Zhengheng raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "What would you do if Murakami Keihiro saw the solemn head of his father Murakami, and heard the news of the fall of Kasaokama Castle, and then seized the ships in Manabe Port?" β
Shimamasori's face tightened, raised his head and said: "Murakami Jinghiro is a reckless person, seeing Murakami's solemn head, he lost the ships in the Manabe Port and will definitely try his best to find a ship to go to sea for help, hiss, His Highness means that he will go to that palace Iwasaki." β
Masahiro pointed to the map of Manabe Island and said: "There are only two places on Manabe Island where ships can be berthed, and large ships can be berthed in Manabe Port, and there must be a lot of ships coming and going, but once attacked, it will be necessary to stick to Manabe Castle as usual, waiting for the rescue of the Murakami Navy, just like the usual practice in the past when the salt-saturated water army attacked, our military ships are few and there are many people, and we can seize the ships moored in the port in a battle, and then send Murakami's solemn head and send a letter of persuasion to surrender."
Manabe Castle must be thinking of going to inform Murakami Takeyoshi, so that this Miyaganzaki will become more and more important, Murakami Jinghiro is reckless, but not stupid, the defenders are only more than 100 people, if you lose Manabe Castle, Murakami Takeshi will also take care of the old feelings, and others will go to ask for help I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter Noh Island, so that the island is political, you can wait for the big driver in the Miyayan Shrine, and then it will be so ......"
Shimamasori and Captain Koji Zuobei glanced at each other, both of them were stunned, the two of them knew Murakami Jinghiro as a person, but they didn't expect Zhengheng to say that Murakami Jingguang's actions were not far from ten, how not to be shocked, and their eyes showed a look of awe.
Captain Koji Zuobei suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes and said: "Your Highness, there is something unclear about Your Majesty, this Manabe Island is the key position of the Noshima Murakami Naval Army, if my family captures it, I am afraid it will attract Murakami Takeyoshi's retaliation, Date Naval Army has just formed a ship with few soldiers and lack of training, how can I defend Manabe Island, I'm afraid?!" He said he didn't say any more.
Captain Kotera Left Guard is right, even if Shohiro vigorously invests in the navy, it is impossible to form a powerful navy at once, the ship is small and the soldiers are outnumbered, lack of training, all need time, and now what he needs most is time, but once Murakami Takeyoshi knows what happened to Kasaoka Mountain Castle, the financial crisis given to Noshima Murakami Naval Army after the loss of Manabe Island will definitely be dispatched, and even invite Kurijima and Innoshima Naval Army to send troops together, relying on the number of ships of the Date family now to be their opponents. However, Zhengheng smiled slightly, but he didn't care, he bowed his head lightly to agree, and the fact that Captain Koji Zuobei was able to express the doubts in his heart made Zhengheng quite happy, and he said in a low voice: "Both, if I give this real pot island to the salt-filled water army, tell me if they will accept it?" β
Dao Zhengli's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said, "Your Highness means to let the salt-saturated water army be our shield." "Captain Koji Left Guard is not a stupid person, and when he mentioned it to him, he was suddenly shocked, and he was not able to rely on brute strength on the sea runway, and he was afraid of how long he would live. Captain Kotera Sabei knows more about the affairs of the Seto Inland Sea than Shimasatoshi, and he knows more about it than the half-man of Masahiro. Zheng Heng made his debut in the general trend, and the two of them hammered and hammered on the details.
The captain of the left guard of Koji slapped his hands and exclaimed: "Your Highness, this plan is very clever-, since the Murakami Navy captured Manabe Island, the salt-saturated water army has lost the strong wall to defend the Murakami Navy Army, and it is said that from the most glorious time of more than 300 ships to the current situation of more than 100 ships, it is still suppressed by the Murakami Navy from time to time, if it weren't for some relationship with the Urakami clan of Bizen Province, I am afraid that it would have been surrendered by the Murakami Navy long ago, and now that it is plain to get Manabe Island, where will it be blocked. β
Shimamasori paused slightly, and said, "Your Highness, if you let the salt-saturated water army take Manabe Island, I'm afraid it will also be detrimental to the development of our Date water army?!" He thought of the looting of merchant ships at sea that Zhengheng had ordered him to do a few days ago, and what he originally thought was to seize Manabe Island, and then use Manabe Island as the center to loot the ships that passed by, and now let the salt-saturated water army occupy Manabe Island, how to loot merchant ships at sea in the gap between the two major naval armies.
Zhengheng pointed to a point on the chart and said, "Two, how is Baishi Island?" β
Dao Zhengli nodded slightly, and replied: "Your Highness, I am afraid that the sky will be bright in another hour, and Your Majesty will go to prepare, and please prepare Your Highness early." After saying a few words, he took more than 30 people to take three small mornings and slowly walked towards Miyaiwasaki. Although the island has not been mixed in the sea for a long time, he has not abandoned his duty, and there is a faint glint in his eyes, looking at the water under the ship, but he does not dare to be careless.
Manabe Island in the middle of the night, quietly, like a monster, lying there quietly. Under the cover of the night, Xiaozao quickly docked. The silence above Miyawasaki was so silent that you couldn't even hear the insects, only the sound of the waves crashing against the reef on the shore. The sound of the waves just drowned out the footsteps of the sailors.
Shimamasori glanced at the small morning boat hidden behind the reef, and smiled coldly: "I didn't expect that the guys in the Miyayan Shrine still haven't changed at all, they hid behind the reef when they came last time, but I didn't expect that this time they are still hiding here, without any tricks, it's really a bunch of stupid." β
A sailor next to him laughed: "If we play some tricks, we won't be able to find it, chief, is it chiseled or?" β
Shimamasori smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Chisel and sink, a fool only chisels it, in the future, his surname is Dao, go, go to the shrine and take a look, your eyes are brighter, don't let go of the guys in the shrine." It is reported that all the priests in the shrine are thieves, and there are many young girls hiding in the backyard. β
The eyes of the people around him immediately lit up when they heard this, they have followed the island politics for many years, and they all know the temperament of the island politics, the island politics and other things are good, and they also have the ability, and they are not proficient in internal affairs and military affairs, and they can be regarded as a good talent who is quite evenly used, but they have a little shortcoming. Of course, for people who run on the Seto Inland Sea, this disadvantage is nothing, that is, to protect the short, of course, it is precisely because of his short-term protection that many people will follow him against Murakami Takeshi. Hearing that the island Masato promised to let them play with the female furniture in the palace rock shrine at will, they all laughed lewdly, looking like they were doing a big job.
The island politicians spoke clearly, and the sailors under his command could understand it, and they all didn't care about the difficulty of walking on the island at night, and they all went to the courtyard illuminated by the only light. Shimamasori understands the virtues of his sailors, and just now he used the strategy of Wangmei to quench his thirst, and the night dispatch made them resentful, for fear that something unexpected would provoke him to lose points in front of Zhengheng. Now that Shimamasaki said, the sailors rushed forward without urging, where would there be a voice of complaining in their hearts, as long as they got the promise, in order to be rewarded, when Murakami Keihiro arrived, they would definitely be able to successfully complete the task assigned by Zhengheng.
Thinking of this, the island politicians can't care about the innocence of the ladies in the shrine.
Manabe Castle was originally a shrine, and the center of the shrine was originally a place where cloth flags were placed, but now it has been converted into a place where the castle lives. Maybe it's because the father and son are of the same heart, in the past two days, Murakami Jingguang couldn't sleep as if he knew what was going to happen, his face was gloomy, as if everyone owed him money, so that everyone didn't dare to touch his brow.
Murakami Keihiro was wearing only a pair of pants and kneeling on the edge of the bed, his fingers with a stern face kept beating his knees, and his eyes kept flashing with a hideous essence, not knowing what he was thinking. Instead, a woman lying behind him closed her eyes slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed from the corners of her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Jingguang Murakami, who was originally young and strong, knelt on the edge of the bed, the melancholy on his face was entwined between his eyebrows, and he seemed uneasy, completely forgetting the delicate body of the woman behind him, and there was a sullen breath in his heart that made him unable to unblock, and thought: "Why have you been restless for the past two days, and you always dream of the miserable situation of your father, is it really an accident, well, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to send someone to Kasaoka Mountain Castle early tomorrow morning to visit and end your heart to be depressed." The strong pills in the hands of the Tang people are gone, do you want to go to Kyushu to find those Tang people to buy some strong pills? β
Thinking about it, Murakami Jinghiro glanced at the soft thing between his legs, like a dead snake, without moving and suffering in his heart, he didn't want to have fun with his wife, but he was already powerless, and he could only use Murakami's grand events to avoid one or two.
The sky was bright again, and Manabe Castle was noisy again, and today seemed to be much noisier than usual. Murakami Jingguang fiddled with the meat snake for a while but there was no response, so he had to give up, thinking about when to go to the Tang people's store and secretly buy some strong pills back, but he heard bursts of footsteps and shouts from outside the door, and he was quite annoyed in his heart, put on a kimono and hurriedly scolded and walked out.
The person who came was a young offspring.,It's Murakami Jinghiro's cousin Murakami Yoshinobu.,It's the same clan that has just been promoted by Murakami Takeshi.,In addition to Murakami Keihiro in Manabe Castle, he is the biggest.,Murakami Yoshinobu said that he was a deputy.,Clear-eyed people know at a glance that he was sent by Murakami Takeshi to monitor Murakami Keihiro.
Although Murakami Jingguang was reckless, he was not stupid and angry with Murakami Yoshinobu, as soon as he saw Murakami Yoshinobu coming over in a hurry, he hurriedly asked: "Murakami Yoshinobu, what happened so panicked, could it be that the salt-saturated water army is here again, the time is wrong, although the salt-saturated water army always comes for so many days every month, but the time has not yet arrived, is it advanced." "The attack on Manabe Island by the salt-saturated water army made the people of the Murakami water army in Manabe Castle accustomed to it, and they were not surprised at all.
Murakami Yoshinobu took a deep breath and wanted to calm down, but his face was pale, and he was obviously frightened, and said: "I'm afraid it's not the salt-saturated water army, the banner that came is the Date family water army, but the leader is the small temple left guard captain, you say that if it is really the left guard of the small temple, Murakami is afraid that the grand public is?!" He didn't say what he said later, but as soon as he heard it, he knew what Murakami Yoshinobu didn't finish saying later.
Murakami Jingguang took two steps back and crashed into the master bedroom behind him, so shocked that Mrs. Murakami Jingguang, who had just gotten up and dressed up, was so shocked that she almost screamed, but fortunately she saw Murakami Jingguang's face becoming more and more iron-blue, and she grabbed the sheet to cover the bright tender meat, and saw Murakami Yoshinobu in front of Murakami Jingguang, but her face blinked strangely.
Murakami Yoshinobu had a panicked look on his face, seeing that Mrs. Murakami Jingguang was so bold, he didn't dare to raise his head, and retreated silently. Why is Mrs. Murakami Jingguang so bold, it turns out that she is not a person who can endure loneliness, seeing that Murakami Jingguang is inhumane, how can she endure it in her heart, seeing that Murakami Yoshinobu has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, she can't help but be moved, she fell in love with her at a glance, and secretly flirted with her. Murakami Yoshinobu has a young heart, how can he resist her temptation, so he hooked up like this.
When Murakami Jingguang left the island, Murakami Yoshinobu took the role of Murakami Jingguang and messed with her, which made Mrs. Murakami Jingguang more and more bold, and dared to frown in front of Murakami Jingguang. Mrs. Murakami Keihiro is bold, but it doesn't mean that Murakami Yoshinobu has the courage to challenge Murakami in person
Murakami Jingguang heard what Murakami Yoshinobu said, and knew that a group of ships suddenly killed a group of ships from the sea at dawn, intercepted more than ten large ships moored in the port, and injured more than 30 heart sticks, and there were signs of besieging Manabe Castle, and he was already angry in his heart, where could he take care of the eyebrows between his wife and Murakami Yoshinobu.
A small sailor leader hurriedly ran over, his face was full of panic, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly reported: "Two adults, the Ida Navy sent a head, and the little people were frightened, it was the old man Murakami who was grand, and the other party also sent a letter of surrender, and asked the two adults to decide." β
When Murakami Jingguang heard Murakami's solemn head coming, he screamed twice and took two steps back, and said with a hideous face: "Evil thief, evil thief, I will not kill you and swear not to be a person." β
Murakami Yoshinobu hurriedly said: "Please also go to Noh Island to report this matter, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, brother, you stay and stick to Manabe Island, and the younger brother goes to Miyayan Shrine to borrow a boat to make a detour to Noh Island for help." Said so, but did not move, waiting for Murakami Keihiro to command.
