Guan Chuan didn't show up, and it wasn't the time to show up. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit Wèn Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) ihong.Kotera Zuobei Lieutenant and Katamori Chang each led more than 100 people to appear outside Manabe Port in eight small mornings, the sky was still dark, and they couldn't see their fingers, and the eight small morning boats slowly approached Manabe Port, they were like ghosts sailing on the sea, and slowly approached the dock of Manabe Port. There was not the slightest light on the boat, it was pitch black, and the captain of the left guard of Kotera was used to running on the sea as an expert at sea, but the mountain was long and poured blood mold, but he was used to it when he vomited, and now he didn't feel much discomfort, his face was a little pale, and he didn't let go of the mast with his hand, but his footsteps were standing steadily in the boat, not shaking, which was already good. Apparently unaware of the changes that had taken place in Kasaokama Castle in Manabe Port, it seemed very peaceful, with the sound of dogs barking and waves crashing against the reef from time to time.
Manabe Island is worthy of being a transit point in the Seto Inland Sea, and there are eleven or twelve merchant ships moored on the island, most of which are converted from customs ships, and as long as they are slightly renovated, they can carry soldiers and horses as transport ships, and there are twenty or thirty ships moored in the harbor. Seeing the shadows of the harbor moored in the harbor by the flickering firelight on the island, the left guard of Koji showed a happy smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect to encounter so many live fish today, I'm afraid I'm going to make a fortune, everyone, let me meet it slowly, His Highness has spoken, after defeating Manabe Island, each person will get ten taels of silver." "Live fish, a black word spread by pirates in the Seto Inland Sea, generally refers to merchant ships that carry a lot of money.
Ten taels of silver is a huge amount of money for the pirates, and I am afraid that it is impossible to get so much money all year round, so I was very excited in my heart, and I shouted in a low voice, holding all kinds of blades in my hands, the blades are of different lengths, but they are all very handy, mostly some short blades, but also some strange blades such as sickles. The low cry didn't go far before it drowned out in the sound of the waves, but it still raised the morale of the people, and with the scorching flames in their eyes, they stared straight at the movement in Manabe Island, and acted immediately if something went wrong.
At this moment, there are only two parties in Manabe Island who have not slept well, one is Murakami Keihiro in Manabe Castle who is still worried about his incompetence, and there is a merchant ship that is obviously much taller than other ships There are still candles lit, and in the cabin, a middle-aged man in his forties is sitting leisurely on a tatami mat drinking tea soup, and a young child is holding a tea pestle and grinding a group tea from the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhengheng loves tea, he can only drink the end of tea, and this middle-aged man is also an extraordinary figure.
He is the wealthy merchant of Jiezhen, the big boss of Tennoji House, Tsuda Soda, and the young child next to him who grinds the tea for him is his sister-in-law, and he is also the Tsuda Soji who made Tennoji House climb the Taiko and aspire to pass it on, and now there is no crown salute, and there is no Yuan Costume Tennoji House is not an ordinary trader, but there is a martial merchant of Ishitaka (corresponding to the official merchants of the Ming Dynasty), and the current name is Sukegoro.
Although Sugoro is immature, he also boils tea with a single plan, grinding the snow-white group tea into the end. After being poured into the boiling water, the water veins are churning, and there seem to be countless flowers, birds, insects and beasts appearing in the water, and then quietly disappearing.
Tsuda Souda and the famous tea man Takeno Shao Ou are friends, and he is also a famous tea master, Sukegoro has been under such influence since he was a child, he is extremely intelligent, and he can learn a board at a glance, and he is also quite famous among the younger generation of Jiezhen. Seeing his father's brows furrowed, Sugoro handed over the teacup and asked in a low voice, "Father-sama, why are you frowning when you're about to return to Jiezhen?" β
Tsuda Soda sat at the tea table, raised his glass and drank, glanced at the immature sister-in-law, and kindly touched his head, but the thick melancholy was wrapped around his eyebrows, and he looked restless, and he didn't know anything about it, and he had no one to complain about, knowing that this child was young but ambitious, and he was the future heir of Tennoji House, so he naturally wanted to teach more, so he didn't hide it and said: "I'm afraid this trip to sea is the last trip to Hirado for Tennoji House, hey, I didn't expect such a huge Ouchi family to have such a thing, Now the two families are facing each other in Akama Pass, if it weren't for the big guy who bought off the Otomo family, I'm afraid that even the boat and people would be detained, but even so, it was delayed for more than ten days in Fengqian. β
Sukegoro didn't agree with his father's words, he shook his head lightly and said: "Father, the child is not worried about the war of the Ouchi family, I am afraid that this internal strife of the Ouchi family will soon be decided, the child is a little worried, after this incident, the Ouchi family is afraid that it will be difficult to bear the coming and going of the exploration ship." This thing on the sea will be monopolized by the owner of the five peaks in the future, my family and the owner of the five peaks do not have much friendship, I heard that the relationship between the house and the owner of the five peaks is irreversible, and the right to speak in the future Tiannoji House in the boundary town will lose a lot.
Sukegoro said at a young age that he was the first to say, Tsuda Soda's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to be so smart, he couldn't help but be happy, and he also wanted to study him, and asked, "Sugoro, then how do you talk about how Tennoji House will operate in the future?" β
Sukegoro pondered for a moment, raised his head to see his father's encouraging eyes, and plucked up the courage to say, "Tanegashima Gun! Speaking of Tanegashima gun, I don't know the details of the details of the most people think that it was from the Nanbanians, and I heard several uncles talk about it by accident, and this kind of Shijima gun is a smuggling trade ship that was drifted to Tanegashima by a typhoon. The owner of the ship is Wang Zhi, the owner of the Wufeng ship, and the Nanban is also on the ship. Tanegashima Shiyao, the owner of Tanegashima, spent a lot of money to buy two arquebuses, and handed them over to the head of the blacksmith at home, Yaita Kiyota, to start copying, but most of them ended in failure, and later he offered his beautiful daughter to comfort the Nanban people in order to steal the technology, and only then did he learn the iron cannon technology. β
Tsuda Soda nodded slightly and said, "What Sukegoro said is right, but it is rumored that Naya is also interested in getting involved in the iron cannon, so I am afraid that it will cause a dispute between the two families." β
Sukegoro didn't refute, he sat quietly, knowing that his father, although slightly tempted, didn't want to completely turn his face with Naya, and the cabin fell silent.
Sukegoro suddenly felt a twitch in his stomach, so he said a little hello to Tsuda Soda and exited the cabin, wanting to stand on the bow of the boat to pee, but as soon as he took off his crotch, he saw a shadow coming in front of him, and then seven or eight shadows appeared, he opened his mouth in shock and was about to shout, but he was covered by a pair of big hands, and turned back in horror to see a pale cheek and look at the sea at the same time It was his father Tsuda Soda.
It turned out that Tsuda Soda was not worried about Sugoro, so he secretly came out to protect, and he also saw the abnormality at sea, and he made a noise at this moment for fear that those thieves would hear that there would be no room for change.
Tsuda Sonda grabbed Sukegoro and retreated to the cabin, extinguished the candle, and commanded in a low voice: "Son, you go and wake up Kumataro at once, and ask him to bring his men to guard the fleet, as long as they don't rob the ship, let them fight and take it, even if there are more sails after the war, don't take the lead." β
Of course, Sukegoro knew that once the merchant ship got into a dispute between the two families, he was afraid that it would cause big trouble, but he faintly felt that something big was going to happen today, but he was not very worried, it had long been rumored that Manabe Island would be attacked by the salt-saturated water army from time to time, but they just let them bump into it, which was considered unlucky, and hurriedly ran towards the side of the ship.
Kumataro is the leader of the heart stick of Tennoji House, and there are two or three hundred people under his command, which is also a large force, if the other crew members add up, I am afraid that there are four or five hundred people, these people are mostly unemployed vagrants, and there are also some robbers who are water robbers, and they have a bite to eat at Tennoji House, so they naturally have to protect them desperately. Because it was in the thief's den, Kumataro didn't sleep well, just a little sleepy when he heard the young master's reply, heard the figure of the water kou outside, and suddenly lost his sleepiness, he immediately ran out, and sure enough, he saw that there were many people on the small morning boat that should not appear in the port, and immediately began to wake up the shallow sleeping sweethearts.
With the heart stick and the crew, they saw the little morning boat appear in the harbor, they immediately became cautious, but they did not make a sound, they believed in the truth of the sea that people do not offend me, I do not offend people, and quietly watched the small morning boat run down a group of sailors. Their bodies tensed up involuntarily but they didn't mean to move, they were extremely cautious, and it was by this that they could come back alive from the stormy pirates.
Katayama Moricho felt a hint of murder from a distance, he turned his head to see the largest ship, and saw the shadows on the ship, knowing that the people on the ship must have spotted their figures, and they couldn't hide, and it was impossible to run, so he had to muster up courage and speed up the rowing.
Now that he has found out, he will come generously and openly, and Katayama Mori shouted and shouted, "Kill me!" As he spoke, he jumped off the small morning boat and chased him into the harbor, and a merchant who had just woken up and heard movement outside and was worried about his goods walked out of the house where he lived, and was caught by Katayama Morinaga. Manabe Island is not limited to the ships of Tennojiya, and of course it is not possible for everyone to hide on the ships like Tsuda Soda and his son. Katayama Moricho kept stabbing the other party's throat with the knife in his hand. When the man saw Katayama Morenaga's fierce attack and the intention of killing him, he panicked and tried to dodge the sword. Unfortunately, it was too late, and there was still blood dripping from the sword in Katayama Moricho's hand, and the head of the vendor had long since disappeared, and his body hung on a tree and no one cared about it.
The vendor immediately said, "Ah! With a scream, he couldn't die anymore.
Katayama Moricho has been practicing kung fu in the mountains for many years, and most of the people who followed him were elite soldiers in the Date family, and their martial arts were much better than ordinary ashigaru, and their archery skills were also farther than ordinary ashigaru, so when Katayama Moricho stabbed a merchant who was looking for his own death, he shouted: "Kill it!" As he spoke, more than 100 feet who followed him rushed forward with blades in their hands and shouting.
On the Ataku ship, Tsuda Zongda's face was solemn, he saw clearly the people rushing to the dock through the torches, and muttered: "It seems that it is not a rabble of salt-saturated water army, it is obviously a first-class elite, the marching pace is neat, although it is charging, the pace is not too much, the two are combined together to attack and defend, I don't know which family's men and horses?" He turned back to Kumataro who was following him and ordered, "Kumataro, pick up the flag of the Miyoshi family that has been prepared in the cabin and hang it on the bow of the ship, now I can only hope to deter them." β
Kumataro was stunned and replied, "Yes!" But immediately said in a low voice: "The owner, I heard that the relationship between the Murakami family and the Miyoshi family is not very harmonious, and the Awaji Water Army of the Miyoshi family has a close relationship with the Salt and Salt Water Army. As he spoke, he glanced at the people who rushed to the dock, and the number of people was roughly between two and three hundred, but the heart of the Tennoji House was three or four hundred, and they had an advantage in numbers, and they were not afraid in their hearts.
Kumataro is also right, after all, the current owner here is the Noshima Murakami family, according to common sense, it is not once or twice that the salt-saturated army has attacked Manabe Island, and they have nothing to worry about, if they really hang the flag of the Miyoshi family, and wait until the autumn to settle the score, then they will have to pay a greater price to be able to repair the relationship with the Noshima Murakami family.
Tsuda Soda shook his head and ordered, "Let's go and hang the flag of the Miyoshi family, Manabejima is going to change his surname." He said no more.
Kumataro said that it sounded good to be the leader of the heart stick, but in the eyes of Tsuda Soda, it was just a heart stick, since he had already admonished him once, if something really happened in the future, he would not be blamed, nodded, and walked towards the cabin, and the flag of the Miyoshi family Santai Ling Wuding was slowly raised on the Ataka ship.
Now the head of the Miyoshi family, Miyoshi Changqing, is the craziest time, who dares to touch the eyebrows of the Miyoshi family, Tennoji House, as a wealthy merchant in the boundary town, naturally became the royal merchant of the Miyoshi family, and got this flag, as long as the flag of the Miyoshi family is hung in normal times, everywhere is the VIP treatment in the high living room, if it weren't for the fact that the Noshima Murakami family and the Miyoshi family did not deal with each other, the Ataka ship put down the flag of the Miyoshi family, and just hung the flag of the Tennoji House.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Tsuda Soda wanted to use the prestige of the Miyoshi family to deter the enemy. His idea was quite good, Katayama Moricho really waved his arm, and when the sky was bright, he squinted his eyes and saw the three-order Ryoshi five-nail flag raised by the Ataka ship, and turned around and shouted: "Sanshiro, you bring a few people to monitor those merchant ships, and the others will kill all the others." With that, he ordered a small Ashigaru leader to keep an eye on the merchant ships, and the others followed Katayama Morinaga into the harbor and killed him towards Manabe Castle.
Katayama Moricho rushed to the Ataka boat and delayed for some time, and Captain Kotera Sakubei had already rushed up from the dock, and one of the small leaders of the water thieves who was blocking the road saw the appearance of Captain Kotera Sake, and his face changed, and he felt quite familiar, and he saw that most of the people behind Captain Kotera Sabei were familiar people, and he knew that something bad was wrong, so he shouted loudly: "You guys! Before he finished speaking, a large hole was pierced in his chest, blood gushed out like a fountain, his hands and feet twitched, and his face looked incredulous.
The sound of fighting resounded through Manabe Island.
Murakami Jinghiro and Murakami Yoshinobu were lying on a section of the city wall and saw a shout of killing outside the city, their faces were gloomy, they saw that this attack seemed to be several times stronger than usual, in the past, the salt-saturated water army came to attack mostly and retreated after a while, where is it like now, it is difficult to resist, and if it is not good, Manabe City is really likely to fall into the hands of the enemy.
Murakami's face looked a little blue, once Manabe City fell, his situation was difficult to imagine, and he saw the letter of persuasion and Murakami's grand head, saying that he wanted to persuade him, but he sent Murakami's grand head, isn't this Chiguoguo's slap?! Even if someone else can surrender, he can't surrender.
Murakami Yoshinobu said with an unkind face: "My lord, it's not okay to go on like this, the hard sticks under the hands of those small merchants and hawkers have suffered heavy casualties, and the Tiannoji House is a wall view, obviously there are only more than 100 people in the city, and they can only hold on, but my lord, you also know that most of the Murakami naval army is now going to Kyushu to participate in the war, and most of the people left behind on Noh Island are some fierce and daring people, I'm afraid that the real pot city can't be delayed." β
Murakami Jingguang frowned, although he didn't like Murakami Yoshinobu, but now the two of them are grasshoppers on a rope, no one can escape anyone, once Manabe City falls, he will be fully responsible, and Murakami Yoshinobu can't please go, now he can only help each other to tide over the difficulties, he said gloomily: "Now that the dock is occupied by them, where can you tell me where there are ships on the island that can go to sea?!" β
Murakami Yoshinobu thought for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "There is only one place on Manabe Island that may have it, but where the head office has blessed the imperial general, if you let the imperial general know, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" β
Murakami Jingguang's eyebrows were entwined with a sense of anger, obviously he didn't like the people of Gongyan Shrine very much, and said viciously: "Manabe City can't be delayed, and it can only be offended, after the war, I went to the imperial general to make amends, and I sent some money, and now I can't take care of these things at the moment of life and death." β
Murakami Yoshinobu thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare?" That being said, he didn't take a single step.
Murakami Jingguang scolded a coward in his heart, glanced at Murakami Yoshinobu with disgust, and didn't count on him anymore, and said: "The guys who stayed behind on Noh Island will definitely know about the crisis of Manabe Island when they see their father's head, and they will definitely not sit idly by, you leave Haosheng to guard Manabe City, and I will go back when I go." β
As he spoke, he took a few relatives and left Manabe Castle along the trail.
