Chapter 167: Invasion of the Ming Devil
(12 points)
On the afternoon of October 1, the ninth year of astronomy, the autumn breeze was cool. Blue sky. In early autumn, it is spotless and crystal clear. Clouds of sunset shine on the clear Kamitsu; The microwave of fish scales and the turquoise river add the color of floating clouds, which is extraordinarily gorgeous.
At this moment, on the Tsumami, two small ships are shuttling back and forth between the east and west banks, transporting the people from the west bank back to the east bank. On the shore of the west bank, the Ishihara family troops who came out of Yuansheng City were waiting in formation, and while nervously boarding Xiaozao, they carefully paid attention to the Luo family's troops who were also waiting in formation two hundred meters away.
According to the agreement of reconciliation, Masashi first removed the military tent outside Yuansheng City and made way for the passage out of the city. Then the guards entered Yuansheng City to persuade the defenders in the city to retreat, and in less than half an hour, the troops in the other city formed a formation and came out of the city one after another, only to see that each of them was holding a variety of things in their hands, and they had the potential to move. In this regard, Zhengliang, who was leading the Luo family's troops not far away to monitor the whole process, was unconcerned, as long as the other party obediently handed over Chengyan, he would have taken advantage of it. Of course, he was also worried that the other party was playing tricks, so he also sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor the vicinity to prevent the other party from suddenly appearing with reinforcements from another team and catching one by one.
After the dotting was completed, the troops of Yuansheng City began to move towards the shore of Shangjin, and Masato sent Yinuo to lead dozens of peasant soldiers to immediately start receiving Yuansheng City, and at the same time personally led the troops to follow the other party until they reached the shore of the west bank of Shangjin. During the march, Masara didn't think about taking the opportunity to attack the other party, but considering that once the other party was defeated and lost this main force, his strength would inevitably drop greatly, so he couldn't effectively block the strategy of the Huzi family, so he finally gave up the idea in his heart.
The handover is still going on in an orderly manner, and the families of the die-hard members of the Ishihara family in the territory have also arrived one after another, which is the last condition of reconciliation, and the Ishihara family is not stupid, in order to calm the hearts of these rescued samurai and peasant soldiers, their families must also be properly settled. In this regard, Zhengliang waved his hand and readily agreed. Even if these people are forcibly left, they are just some people with different intentions, and it will only affect the stability of the newly occupied territory, so it is better to send them away.
So, on the Tsugami side, every time a boatload of people was transported here, someone would carry out a box of coins from a small boat docked on the shore not far away, and the people of the Luo family would count and receive them, which was exactly the 200 indemnity that the Ishihara family promised to pay. This time, it is estimated that it is a precedent for the reparations of the Warring States War.
Every time I think of this, Masashi has an inexplicable feeling, for the heroes, the land is the root of life, although the Ishihara family is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, but I always feel that this time the reconciliation seems to be a little too smooth, so smooth that people can't believe it. People are always so strange, they will always doubt what they get easily, but they take it for granted when they are fortunate to get it.
"Your Highness" At this time, the voice of the attendant suddenly sounded in his ears.
Masato quickly put back his thoughts outside the wandering object, calmed down, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The detective sent to the other side has returned, and is asking to see him in the back," said Guna Tong.
"Let him come." Masara said.
Soon, a detective came to Zhengliang.
After the detective saluted, Zhengliang asked directly: "What is the current situation on the other side?" ”
"Your Highness, the entire territory of the Ishihara family has been mobilized, and even the women have been mixed into the ranks of the peasants and soldiers to serve as numbers," said the detective with a sigh of relief. It seems that he has been through a rather dangerous situation.
"Oh?" The political conscience was shocked, and it seems that the civil strife in the Huzi family is getting worse and worse. Could it be that Masayo Huko is crazy? Even if the other families don't know about the road, the water army of the Hirado Matsuura family is fighting with the water army of the Huko family, it is impossible for the Yobuko political friends not to know the road, right? In the face of internal and external troubles, many words continue to confront these separated family heads, isn't this suffering on both sides? Could it be that he is difficult to ride a tiger? Worried that after meeting the requirements of these divisions, they would be slightly injured or even besieged by them, so they simply confronted these divisions, so that these divisions did not dare to act rashly for the time being, and then concentrated on dealing with the Matsuura family's strategy first? Well, it seems that this is not possible. …,
"What's wrong with the other branches of the Huzi family?" Masarashi continued to ask.
"Several families seem ready to band together to put pressure on the Yomiko family. The villain saw a team with several family crests at the border between the Yomiko family and the Ishihara family. ”
"Very good, you go down and rest first" After Masarashi got the news he wanted, he ordered the detective who reported the news to go down and rest. He looked at the Ishihara family's soldiers who were still boarding the ship not far away, and pondered. Yes, he was moved. Since the situation of the other party is so chaotic, why not take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and see if you can get more benefits?
"Your Highness", at this time, the voice of the close attendant was ringing in his ears again, "If your lord sends news that the pirates on the other side of Jiushi Castle have been found. ”
"Hmm" Masarashi nodded habitually, but suddenly caught important information from the sentence just now, turned his head suddenly, and said in a somewhat high voice, "What? You mean those pirates have found it? ”
"Yes, Your Highness. Ikno-sama is waiting for your orders. Now he's sent someone to keep an eye on the pirates. ”
"Okay, very good" Zhengliang clenched his fists, and the whole person cheered up.
Why is Zhengliang so excited? This starts with the geography of the central part of the Higashi Matsuura Peninsula.
There are three relatively large rivers in the middle of the Higashimatsuura Peninsula, the westernmost one is the river formed by the confluence of the Mangari River and the Zanai River, and its outlet is Itaya Bay, which is now completely controlled by the Luo family; The easternmost is the current Shangjin, and its west bank and the estuary to Huzi Bay have also been included in the scope of the Luo family's power; The remaining middle one is called the Shiga River, which flows through the territory of the former Ishida family, and finally passes through an outlet that is still occupied by several pirates, and finally connects to the Genkai Beach. Between the estuaries of the Kamitsu and Shiga rivers is a small peninsula jutting out of the Genkaitan Sea, where the famous famous Meitoya Castle was located.
It can be said that as long as the mouth of the Kaga River is controlled, then it is equivalent to completely encircling the territory occupied by the Luo family in the middle of the East Songpu Peninsula, which is conducive to the defense of the territory. But to occupy it, it is not a simple matter to drive away or even kill the pirates entrenched there. The biggest difficulty is that these pirates don't have a fixed den, and often change hiding places at will, and if you forcibly occupy their power, they may retaliate, and the easiest way is to come and harass you often, making you annoyed. According to what he just reported, the detectives of the family had discovered the current residence of those pirates. Masato is ready to kill this group of pirates in one fell swoop, and even if he can't kill them, he will try to hit them as hard as possible, so that the foundation of the Luo family on the East Songpu Peninsula will be completely solidified.
So, why is Masahiro so enthusiastic about attacking this group of pirates? I can make peace with them. The reason is simple, there are people in it that Masahiro desperately wants to kill.
In that area, there are mainly two pirate forces, namely the Imamura people and the Ikeda people, and the Imamura people are the most powerful, and their leader is named Gosuke. Speaking of this, Wusuke has to involve another person, that is, Gosuke's brother Sisuke.
Who are the four helpers? To be precise, it's a devil who invades the light. In the history books, when the Ming Dynasty One Piece King Wang Zhi was recorded, there was such a passage: Legend has it that Wang Zhisheng had a vision, "less down-and-out, chivalrous, and strong and wise, good at giving, and the old people believe in it." In the nineteenth year of Jiajing (1540), Wang Zhi, together with Xu Weixue and Ye Zongman, built sea ships in Guangdong, "placing prohibited goods such as nitrate and yellow silk cotton to Japan, Siam, and Western countries for trade" to make huge profits. Because overseas trade was illegal at that time, Wang Zhi initially joined the Xu Dong group of fellow villagers in She County, Huizhou Prefecture, and called "lure Buddha Lang Jiyi, travel to and from Zhejiang Sea, dock at Shuangyu Port, and trade privately." "Xu Dong and Li Guangtou were successively exterminated by the Ming army Zhu Kun, and Wang Zhi started a new stove and established himself as the owner of the ship." Then he started a plot, gathered the outlaws, seduced Unu Taro, Jiro, Shisuke, Shiro, etc., and built a huge ship, 120 steps of the joint boat, which could accommodate 2,000 people, and galloped horses. Wang Nao became the leader of a large armed maritime group in East Asia at that time, and accepted the invitation of Matsuura Takannobu, a daimyo of Japan's Warring States period, to engage in maritime trade on Hizen Island (part of present-day Nagasaki Prefecture) off Kyushu. …,
In the account here, there is a record of "four helps".
And the four sukes that Masara is about to deal with now were originally the leader of a group of pirates in Karatsu Bay, but later suffered a great defeat in a conflict with the Hakata naval army, so he had to flee to the pirates' paradise Goto area with the remnants of the army, and is currently temporarily taking refuge in the Hirado Matsuura family. After much deliberation, Zhengliang can basically determine that this four assistants are the Japanese who will follow Wang Zhi to invade the Ming Kingdom in the future. Even if it's not, I can only complain that his name is too unlucky, and he happens to be a pirate, with the mentality that he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, Masahiro is determined to kill this guy.
As for the pirate Gosuke who is entrenched in the area of the mouth of the Kagawa River, it is determined that it is the younger brother of Sisuke. is the so-called brother who does not leave his relatives when he goes into battle, although there is no record in the history books, but in the face of the huge temptation of interests, it is impossible for him not to follow his brother to the Ming Kingdom to loot. So Zhengliang's goal is very clear, to kill this devil who invaded Ming first.
Of course, Masayo is not killing for the sake of killing. It's just that these two groups of pirates are both murderers and stealers, which are different from other ordinary fishermen who are forced by life to follow the path of pirates. In the information collected by Yiruo before, the two pirates are white-eyed wolves that they are not familiar with, and even if they make peace with them, I don't know when they bite into the mud. Therefore, these two groups of pirates cannot stay.
It can not only stabilize the rule of the territory, but also eliminate violence and peace and even indirectly help the Ming Kingdom, why not? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to the mobile network (.), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )……,
