Chapter 31: Sailing on the Sea

In a hearty battle, when the Gego Shichiro Guards cut off the head of Murakami Yoshinobu and wanted to show off his might, he found that there was no way for the enemy to live around, and they all fell to the ground waiting for the Date army to be cut. biquge.info In short, the battle was over in a while, and the thirty or forty people brought out by Murakami Yoshinobu were all dead, and those who wanted to surrender did not even have any chance to surrender, and they were killed by the Date army, who was eager to make contributions.

Kakuro Shichiro Beiwei has finally gained the initial trust of Zhengheng under the strength of the two brothers since the defeat of Yancheng Yamashiro in Agashi County, and has become a general of Ashigaru in the ranks of his own soldiers, and his status is a little higher than that of the general, at least by the side of Zhengheng, and the chance of being promoted is also high.

When Katayama Moricho saw that the Kakugo Shichiro guards had arrived, he also led more than 30 people to rush back, but instead of going to Katsugoro Shichiro to help in the battle, he began to occupy various important places and surround the merchant ships of Tennoji House anchored in the harbor.

Kakuro Shichiro Bei saw that there was no enemy to show off his might, but he didn't throw away Murakami's head Yoshinobu, he was a smart man in the end, he ran to the sea water and cleaned up Murakami's head with seawater, cleaned it up for a while, hung it on his waist casually, and drew his sword and looked at the merchant ship of Tennoji House.

Zheng Heng led a team of more than 20 people to appear on the port, stomped his feet hard, and finally felt good again standing on the flat ground, although he ran to the boat more in his previous life, but after all, he has been in this world for nearly 20 years, and he was able to hold on to it just after a burst of excitement, and then he was a little swaying, and his stomach was nauseated, and now he is no longer nauseous when he stands on the flat ground and takes a few deep breaths. Seeing that most of the defenders of Manabe City were shattered, and Murakami Keihiro was detained expressionlessly, Zhengheng was completely relieved.

Zhengheng put away his spear, stood on the dock and instructed his group: "Qinghe Atsutaro, you take a few people to search in Manabe Castle to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, don't kill them all, ask them, where is the warehouse, give me a good search, Manabe City is the transit station of the water army in Noshima Village, and there must be good things in the important place to collect tolls." Don't wash that disgusting head, and bring me a team of men to block the way of the merchant ships, which are extremely slow, but they are still good enough as troop carriers. ”

Kiyokawa Atsutaro and Kakuto Shichiro Bingwei smiled, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Zhengheng's instructions to get busy, and the sound of a few blades colliding sounded in Manabe Castle and was drowned in the shouting and scolding, and Kakuto Shichiro Beibei also began to encircle the merchant ships, and the small ships began to intercept at sea, and the merchant ships were completely encircled in the port.

Looking at the twelve merchant ships, including a huge Anzhai ship, the corners of Zhengheng's mouth curled slightly, and he took out the invitation card that had been prepared and handed it to a personal soldier beside him and ordered: "Send this invitation to the Anzhai ship, and say that I want to talk to him about the sail farewell." "Sailbetsu money is something that Murakami learned from the owner of the ship Gomine after he came to power, and the pirate policy he pursued was the "road money policy" and the "sea bodyguard policy". There are many ways to say that any merchant ship sailing in the Seto Inland Sea will be safe and sound if it pays a price equivalent to 10% of the price of the goods it is carrying, and if it is planted under the flag of the Murakami pirates, it will be safe and sound, otherwise it will be all gone. If a merchant ship wants to go to Ming or Korea, or even to Southeast Asian countries to do business, you can also ask them to be bodyguards. Of course, the cost of bodyguards is quite high, but the naval combat ability of the Murakumi pirates is also recognized by everyone, so the bodyguard business is also booming.

Originally, Manabe Island belonged to the Noshima Murakami Water Army, and now it belongs to the Date family, and since it already belongs to the Date family, then if you pass through Manabe Island, you will have to pay the sail money again, and no one can say a quibble. And he also saw the banner of the Tennoji House hanging on the Attaku ship, where is the Tennoji House sacred, friends who have played Taiko Lizhi Chuan should know, and Zhengheng has also heard a little, but what he doesn't know is whether the current head of the family is the famous Tsuda Zonghe, the world's three great craftsmen.

……

The castle head changed the flag of the king, the flag on the Tsuda fleet had been changed several times, the Murakami naval flag of Noshima was hung when entering the port and moored, the Miyoshi family royal merchant flag was hung when the Date family called, and the Murakami naval flag was once again angry when the ship attacked in the roar of the iron cannon, and now it is the Miyoshi family imperial merchant flag, and the anti-swaskaji flag of the Tennoji house is hung next to it. Tsuda Soda saw Kohayona approaching outside and Date Jun staring at him from the Ataka boat, his brows were furrowed, his heart was always clouded, and he held an invitation card in his hand, not knowing how to decide. His heart was full of fear of coming, and he couldn't decide what to do after thinking for a long time, and the predicament in front of him made him in a dilemma. His heart was full of fear of the unmasked young master of the Date family, yes, fear, the authorities were obsessed with bystanders, he stood on the bow of the Ataku boat and could be said to have watched a battle drama, from the beginning of the confusion to the final word, the young master of the Date family left a very deep impact on him, and sighed in his heart: "It seems that this time I can't hide, I want to see what kind of character he is." ”

After thinking about it, he straightened his clothes, Tsuda Soda once again glanced at the invitation with a few words, the expression on his face was always solemn, and said to his sister-in-law Sukegoro behind him: "Sukegoro, if your father doesn't come back, you immediately hide and go to the boundary town to find your uncle Imai Sokei, although your uncle's house is a competitor to Tennoji House, your father will inevitably fall apart when he goes to Tennoji House, but after all, you are the young master of Tennoji House, and he will treat you well before completely controlling the property left by Tennoji House, remember?!" After all, he was a merchant, not a samurai who ate people and didn't spit out bones. ”

Tsuda Soda was obviously explaining what was going on, he understood that it was really a very dangerous thing for such a large caravan to watch from the wall under the nose of the other party, and he couldn't help but feel that the deadline for saying goodbye to the head and body seemed to be approaching, and he knew that although the strong men he brought were superior in numbers, compared to the soldiers of the Date Army who had rich combat experience in front of him, it was just a joke. You don't see Kumataro, who Tsuda Soda relied on the most, was so frightened that his hands trembled when he saw Date Jun slash to death Murakami Yoshinobu, and his body was still trembling, and he didn't have the courage to rush forward to fight.

Although Sugoro is young and intelligent, where has he ever seen such a battle, such a terrifying picture displayed in front of him, he has already trembled with fright, and he wanted to hide when he saw it, but he immediately forcibly held back, raised his head and shouted: "Father, while the enemy ship has not yet come up, gather troops and row out to sea, life is important?!" "If you see such a terrifying picture, it is possible to die of shock, or you will be seriously ill. But Sukegoro can be so calm when he sees the bloody scene, it's not simple, in history, it is Sukegoro, that is, the later Tsuda Sect and the big tree backed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, which made Tennojiya a big merchant in the world, and together with Jing Munehisa and Sen no Rikyu, they are called the three masters of the world, but Chengya Toyotomi Hideyoshi, defeated Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tennoji House gradually declined after the death of Tsuda Tsuda.

Tsuda Soda turned his head and glanced at Sugoro solemnly, smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Sukegoro, you have grown up, but you only saw the escape, but you didn't see that even if you escaped, those old guys in the Tennoji House will let us father and son go, do you know why I didn't let you go to those guys, but switched to his family?!" If I go back alive, our father and son will only have a dead end, but if only you go back, you will have a great chance to grow up, as long as you grow up, you will have a chance to turn over, and the hope of the Tsuda family is in you. "Tennoji House is not a business house dominated by the Tsuda family, it is controlled by dozens of autonomous organizations, but the Tsuda family is the largest of them, as Tsuda Soda said, if most of the goods are lost, Tennoji House will suffer heavy losses, someone must come out to carry the black pot, as the head of Tsuda Soda father and son must stand up, seppuku suicide is considered light, and it is possible for the Tsuda clan to exterminate the clan.

Sugoro heard the words from his father's mouth, and when he thought of the cold-eyed old guys in the meeting, his body trembled involuntarily, and he lay in ambush on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, and said with a trembling body: "Father, if there is a future, the child will definitely avenge his father." His words were filled with anger at the injustice of the world and hatred for Date Masahiro, and the eyes that looked up were full of hatred, like a poisonous snake. Startled, Kumataro next to him retreated two steps back in fear for a while, Kumataro didn't expect that the young Sugoro's eyes would be so terrifying, and he couldn't help but think of the appearance of the legendary ghost.

Tsuda Soda took a deep breath, glanced back at Sugoro, and said softly: "Sukegoro, restrain your anger, hide it deep in your heart and don't reveal it, just wait until the day when you have enough strength to burst out, understand?!" Remember the dream of the Tsuda family and become the world's largest businessman. Saying that, there was a strong man who died before he was paid, and walked off the board of the ship towards Manabe Castle, which had begun to be cleaned, Sukegoro knelt on the deck and kowtowed three times, his face was full of tears, and the corners of his mouth trembled and he didn't say anything.

Sukegoro knelt on the deck for a long time and didn't move, Kumataro's younger brother Kumajiro came over and said in a low voice: "Brother, it is rumored that the Date family is the only one, no matter what the background is, as long as you are loyal to the Date family, you will be reused, and now there is no way back, wealth is ahead, I don't know whether to take it or not?!" As he spoke, his mouth was furrowed, and he stared at Sugoro with a cold gaze, acting strangely, and the light in the depths of his eyes seemed to make Sugoro's whole body tremble.

Kumataro didn't seem to have made up his mind to be in a dilemma.,But his eyes are getting hotter and hotter.,The rumors of the Date family,All of them who ran the sea are all known.,After all, it's the legend of the fastest rise in recent years.,The rumors of the Date family's meritocracy.,Bandits.、Ministers.、Swordsmith and eagle smith are not to say.,Even the non-human pariahs of the general copper mountain diggers have a place to get ahead.,If it weren't for the Date family has not been unified with China,,A large number of ronins would have gone to take refuge., Even so, there are still many ronin who think they are talented. Kumataro and Jiro brothers are one of them, and there are a large number of ronins on the ship who are also hot, but if it is not for Kumataro's approval, those small groups are still a little afraid to move, after all, there are nearly 100 people who eat with Kumataro.

Kumataro clenched his fists, he understood that if he returned to Jiezhen, these people would inevitably be implicated, and the private armed forces of the Huizhong Organization had no way to deal with Hao Qiangming, but there were ways to deal with them, as if he had figured it out, and said: "Kumajiro, are you sure that those people will be obedient?" "He can't look down on the little Sukegoro, but after all, he is not alone in the boat, there are still some people who check and balance him, and everyone is safe when Tsuda Souda is here, but now that he is gone, if he wants to do something to Tsuda Soda's sister-in-law, I am afraid that there are still some people who intervene, and he is not afraid of one or two, but once they are united, it is still very troublesome.

Xiong Jiro rolled his eyes and said: "Big brother, no poison is not a husband, for the sake of future glory and wealth, it is worth taking some risks, and not everyone is willing to risk their lives to offend the eldest brother for a child, and then the eldest brother will appropriately share some benefits." ”

Kumataro seemed to have made up his mind, his eyes were full of greed, and he held the hilt of the knife on his waist and shouted in a deep voice: "For the honor of our Maeto family, Sukegoro will definitely become a great disaster for Itahou in the future, so let me let Maeto Kumataro sweep away the future traitors for Itahou and do it." Kumajiro, you go and contact Saimen and Niimi, they have always had the ambition to repeat the revival of the family, and convince them that the others will be willing to follow. ”

Kumajiro nodded and retreated into the shadows.

A small-scale riot began to ferment on the Ataka ship, and before Sukegoro could initiate his sensational revenge, it fell into the hands of Kumataro and others, and sent messengers to ask for merit and reward.

……

The dilapidated Manabe City has begun to be cleaned up, and there is a low table on a slightly flat platform not far from the Manabe City, and a few stone benches are placed randomly under the low table, and Zhengheng is gnawing on rice balls, waiting for the arrival of the big boss of the fleet, if he doesn't come, then there is only one way to attack.

He didn't look down on the strength of the strong men of the fleet, but he couldn't stand their numerical superiority, and the victory would definitely be a victory, but he didn't expect too many casualties, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a decision.

A personal soldier reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, the big boss of the fleet of Tennoji House is here." ”

Zhengheng stood up after swallowing the rice ball, and saw a thin man about forty years old waiting more than ten zhang away, he glanced up and down at the emaciated man, and then said: "I am the head of the Date family in Beizhong, and I don't mean to hurt the big boss, I just want to see if there is any room to cooperate with the big boss." ”

Tsuda Soda looked at the one-eyed young man in front of him, his face was very unpleasant, he gritted his teeth, and after calming down a little, he said: "Contemptible Tsuda Soda, I am the big boss of Tennoji House, I don't know if there is any place that can help Itahou." ”

Tsuda Soda, Masahiro was slightly stunned, I really haven't heard of it, isn't it Tsuda Soji, suddenly he smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, that Tsuda Soyoji seems to have lived to the Toyotomi era, and now he must not be very old, this should be the current big boss of Tennoji House, maybe it is Tsuda Soji's father, Yang or uncle or something. Zhengheng looked at Tsuda Soda, and then slowly said: "Big boss Tsuda Soda, my Date family lacks everything now, in order to complete the unification war between China and China, I had to start a war with the pirate Murakami Buyoshi in the Seto Inland Sea and capture Manabe Island, you also saw it, the losses were heavy, in order to make up for the losses, I had to look for a breakthrough from another place, your ships and the goods on board are good choices, what do you think?" The corners of his mouth that smiled as he spoke lost his smile.

Where did Tsuda Zongda think that Zhengheng would sue him so badly, just to snatch his goods to make up for the loss of the Date family, his face suddenly fell, and he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Date Hou, you can't do this?!" Tennoji House is the royal merchant of the Miyoshi family, and there is also the background of Ishiyama Honganji, once it spreads, your reputation will be ruined, and you will be pursued by the Miyoshi family and Ishiyama Honganji, please Date Hou Sansi?! ”

Zheng Heng suddenly laughed, and walked into two steps, as if he was a little moved, but he didn't take a step forward, just said lightly: "Who said that I was going to rob, I just invited everyone from Tennoji House to go to prepare for China as a guest, hey, who made my troops insufficient, and the losses were quite heavy, and it was difficult to keep Manabe Island?" ”

Suddenly, the Katsuro Shichiro guard ran up and knelt on the ground to report: "Your Highness, there is a strife in the Tennoji House, and a man who calls himself the former Fujikuma Taro has captured the young master of the Tennoji House. ”

Zhengheng raised his head and looked at the desperate Tsuda Soda, and said: "You see, obviously the Tennoji House is not in control of the situation, then only I will help you control the situation, Shichiro Guard, agree to his request, and load all the things looted on Manabe Island and leave." Before leaving, notify the salt-saturated water army and let them come to receive Manabejima. ”
