Chapter 234 The fat man's spit attack

There are four larger islands in Japan, but the cold Hokkaido was still in the hands of the Ezo people during the Wanli period, and the place where the Japanese mainland and the Japanese tribe lived was called the Toei Three Islands, which were Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, of which the southwest Kyushu Island was the closest to the East Asian mainland, and whether it was the economic and trade exchanges with the Chinese Celestial Empire and Korea, or the Jiāo stream with the Western colonizers, it was the first to lead the trend.

Matsuura-gun, which belonged to the former country of Féi, is located in the westernmost part of Kyushu, and Hirado, the home port of Goho maritime merchants, is located on the coast of Matsuura-gun, which means that Hirado is located in the southwesternmost part of Japan, hanging alone on the sea, overlooking the East Asian continent.

There are large ships moored in the harbor, including clumsy Japanese ships built by the old-fashioned lap method, Chinese-style fortune ships with round and rich hulls, and "Nanban-like ships" that imitate the Galen ship type of Western colonists.

The headquarters of the Wufeng Maritime Merchant is located in the Hirado Port with the mountains and the sea in the background, and the continuous Chinese-style buildings are pure blue tile powder walls, cornices and arches, and the maritime merchants and their families who live in them also have wide robes and large sleeves, which are very different from the Japanese who wear kimonos and step on clogs.

From another point of view, how could Wang Zhi not be a colonial invader who emerged in the Age of Discovery? Establish colonial strongholds, monopolize maritime trade, armed convoys, and drive out indigenous peoples...... There was no essential difference between the Goho maritime merchants in Hirado Port and the Western colonists led by the British East India Company.

If the missionaries protest and claim that they have brought the gospel of God in addition to the previous ones, then let's take a look, in the middle of the houses of the five peaks and maritime merchants, the tallest building is the Mazu Temple, where incense is flourishing, and the sound of reading can be heard from the sī school not far away: "It is a pleasure to learn and learn, and it is a pleasure to have friends from afar......

Perhaps the only difference between the Wufeng maritime merchants and the Western colonizers was the attitude of the mother state towards them.

The Ming Dynasty, which was controlled by the Qing Dynasty and the powerful people, undoubtedly took measures to suppress and restrict it, so what were the Western barbarians of the same era doing?

Britain's great pirate Francis? Drake and Wang Zhi have similar identities, Drake also carried out armed trade at sea, and his identity is also a merchant and thief, but unlike Wang Zhi, he has official support from the British government, and even a friend of Elizabeth, the king of the British NV, cooperated with the British Navy to defeat the huge Spanish Armada in the Battle of Graveland, and was made Lord of England by the King of NV, and climbed to the highest peak of honor.

If Wang Zhi doesn't die, will it be the Drake of the East? There is no answer to this question forever.

Twenty years have passed since Wang Zhi's death, and the Wufeng Maritime Merchants have been squeezed out by the powerful Taosī clique, the Japanese Shinwa, and the Spanish and Portuguese colonists, and their power is not as strong as before, and now they are on the verge of life and death.

The big house at the bottom of the Mazu Temple is one of the most conspicuous buildings in the whole port, the second-generation Wufeng ship owner Jin Yingji is wearing a black sea tiger velvet and sitting on a tiger skin jiāo chair in the middle, her face is more and more white with black clothes, and her expression is delicate and has a kind of awe-inspiring majesty.

A large group of maritime merchants were standing or sitting, and everyone had a bit of anxiety on their faces.

A dark-skinned, forty-year-old strong man arched his hand and persuaded with great anxiety: "Young master, those dog officials in the court are all liars, I can't believe it!" Back then, the father-in-law believed Hu Zongxian's nonsense, threw down the good foundation, and said that he wanted to serve the court loyally in exchange for the opening of the sea ban, but what was the result? Gone and never returned! There is no more wronged person in the world than his old man! ”

It was Wang Zhi's confidant and righteous son máo Haifeng who spoke, after Wang Zhi was beheaded that year, it was he who tried his best to maintain the situation of the five peaks of the maritime business, which left today's foundation, it turned out that Wang Zhi did not see the wrong person, máo Haifeng was loyal, and after the old lord's widow nv Jin Yingji grew up, he served her as the master.

Wang Zhi died unjustly when the imperial court failed to appease him, leaving a bloody lesson that Máo Haifeng will never forget.

Thinking of the deep hatred with the Qingliu Confucianism and the powerful people, Máo Haifeng hated it so much that he waved his hand: "And the matter of Caoyin last time, it has been shipped out of Baishuiyang, why should the young master return it to them?" In the end, these people's fat and people's ointment have not gone into the pockets of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they have ill-gotten gains, so why not take them...... Forget it, in short, I can't trust the court, this matter of appeasement has to be considered in the long run. ”,

Jin Yingji's slender and slender fingers in both hands were forced, and she said in embarrassment: "What the righteous brother said is reasonable, and Xiǎo sister doesn't fully believe in the imperial court, but after the Shimazu clan defeated the Otomo clan last year, the power is in full swing, and there is a tendency to sweep Kyushu, and our Matsuura is also in danger, if we don't seek the imperial court canonization, how can we deal with the Shimazu clan?" ”

No one has been able to answer this question.

There was an old man in his fifties with a thin body arching his hand upwards: "The owner of the ship, in Ye's humble opinion, it is nothing to follow the Shimazu family, as the saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord and the lord, since the court has defiled us as pirates, and never treated us as the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a big deal to follow the Shimazu family......"

"Phew, phew, fart!" Máo Haifeng pointed at the old man and scolded: "Ye Ma, have you eaten Meng Po soup, or have you lost your mind?" Twenty years ago, how majestic the old master was, subduing the 36 islands of Dongying, and thousands of ships on the East China Sea hoisted the flag given by the owner of the Five Peaks, but now you want to ask the young master to surrender to the Japanese slaves, how can you be worthy of the old master's spirit in the sky?! ”

That Ye Ma also blushed, and said angrily: "You want to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but the court treats you as a widow, what's wrong with the Japanese......"

Máo Haifeng was furious, rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight with Ye Ma, and the people on both sides were clamoring.

Jin Sakurahime made a look, and Takeo Kameban took a few brothers up to persuade him, so that he wanted to separate the two sides, but these men who begged for a living at sea were all rude, where could they be separated?

Syllable! Jin Yingji smashed the teacup in her hand, her face was angry, and she said sharply: "Do you still have me as a young master in your eyes?" ”

The leaders of the maritime merchants who were pestering looked at each other, and they all stopped, máo Haifeng stared at Ye Ma hatefully, and took his subordinates back, Ye Ma also smiled and arched his hand towards Jin Yingji, and also took two steps back.

Above the hall, still tense, Máo Haifeng and Ye Madou stared at each other as if they were staring at each other.

At this moment, a male duck's throat exploded in Mén's mouth: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that the Wufeng maritime merchants would also rebel in the nest, it is really not out of the Tang people (at that time, Japan called China Tang or Mingguo) to play the inferior root xìng!" ”

The person who came was wearing a kimono and stepping on clogs, with a cupola hairstyle unique to Japanese samurai on the top of his head, looking silly, laughing and walking in very arrogantly, a pair of eyes unscrupulously looked back and forth on Jin Sakurahime, and the smile was really obscene and disgusting.

He is an envoy sent by the Shimazu family, and Shimazu Xiǎo Torimaru, who belongs to the side line of the family, is not a great figure.

Therefore, it was not him that the maritime merchants were staring at nervously, but the middle-aged man behind him who had a relegated face and would quickly disappear when he entered the crowd.

There is nothing surprising about the reappearance of the face, but the muscles under the clothes are full of explosive power, a pair of eyes jīng light four shè, and the face often has a smile that is not yang, this is the iga ghost qing who is known as the "ghost seal killing" on the dreadful iga stream in Kyushu!

These two, that is, the envoys sent by the Shimazu family, have always been to the five peaks of the sea merchants, and three days ago threw out an ultimatum, with today as the last day, if they do not agree to return to the Shimazu family, even if the negotiations break down, they will immediately return to their lives - that is, the five peaks sea merchants will face the retaliation of the Shimazu family.

"What's the matter, Sister Jin Xiǎo hasn't thought about it yet?" Shimazu Xiǎo Torimaru put on a look of victory in his hand, and asked neatly: "I don't think it's difficult to make a choice, my Shimazu family is powerful in Kyushu, invincible, genius is about to start Kyushu hegemony for a long time, and there is not much time left for you!" ”

Jin Sakurahime sneered and frowned in disgust: "Don't forget, Oda Nobunaga was still the iron cannon provided by his father back then, do you think that Kamiluo Quanchen will allow your Shimazu family to run rampant in Kyushu?" ”

Shimazu Xiǎo Torimaru was stunned, not knowing what to say, Oda Nobunaga's power is indeed very large, at least not something that the Shimazu family can afford.

Iga Ghost Qing laughed, and his voice was bitterly cold: "Sister Jin Xiǎo, Owari Big Fool hasn't even calmed down Honshu, and his hand can't reach Kyushu yet!" Don't lie and threaten, whether you agree or not, decide in a word! ”

Jin Sakurahime's god has changed a few times, Shimazu Xiǎo Torimaru is a useless fool, but Iga Oniqing is not easy to deal with, and now the imperial court doesn't know what it means, no matter how you choose, it's a dilemma!

"Newspaper, newspaper-" A lookout ran in as if he was flying: "Mr. Quan's boat is back, and Xiǎo sees a Celestial Empire official wearing a flying fish suit on the bow of the boat!" ”,

Okay! Jin Sakura stood up suddenly, ignored the others, and hurried to the dock.

Shimazu Xiǎo Torimaru and Iga Ghost Qing glanced at each other, and the two followed behind and rushed to the dock, and sure enough, there were two lucky boats parked there, and Jin Sakurahime was talking to Kwon Jeong-eun!

The two of them hurriedly walked to the bow of the boat, and saw that there was an official wearing a flying fish suit on it, but his face was not good-looking, but he had the most féi figure and looked like a big official, so he raised his face and asked, "You are the envoys of the Ming Kingdom?" Why are you here? ”

"The fucking sea wind is so big!" Lu Fatzi has sour water in his throat, and in the past few days, he has learned that sailing at sea is completely different from that inland, and the wind and bumps make people's stomachs turn over the river and the sea.

It's hard to get used to this kind of ups and downs, the boat is docked and doesn't move, it is smooth and steady, but the fat man feels like the sky is spinning again, and his head is dizzy.

"Wow—" He opened his mouth and vomited.

The big thing is not good, the envoys of the Ming Kingdom vomit and attack!

Rao is Iga Ghost Qing is agile and has also been stained with a lot of vomit, and Shimazu Xiǎo Torimaru is miserable, his face is full of filth, and he is so disgusted that he has an urge to collapse.
