Warring States Eagle

The civil strife in the Tateishi family that lasted for several days finally came to an end, and the second son of Tateishi Kantaro who was poisoned was elected as the new governor of the Tateishi family.The poor child was confusedly elected as the head of the family before he was 9 years old. He didn't know how long he could survive when the minister was strong and the master was weak.After the naval army was captured by the Luo family, the power of the Tateishi family was hit hard. The Dono family, who had suffered a loss from the Tateishi family last time, immediately took action, intending to invade the Tateishi family to avenge their shame.The surrounding tycoons also secretly changed.

But for the above, Zheng Liang has no time to take care of it.Now he needs to deal with something a little peculiar.

"You mean, that woman is a family member of a businessman in Hakata?" Zheng Liang asked while waving his arms.The injured arm has mostly healed, and the crude bandage made of strips of cloth was just removed today.

"Yes, Your Highness, this woman claims to be the widow of the Gage family of Hirado Matsuura. When she returned to Hakata Kamiya's house by boat some time ago, she was attacked by the Nagoshi pirates Sanhei, and was taken as a concubine by Sanhei. Later, due to the fact that my family's strategy became more and more famous, I rescued her unintentionally," Yinuo said with a bow.If he didn't feel that the identity of this woman was a bit difficult, he would not have come here to report to the Patriarch.

The caged house?The Kamiya family?After hearing the story of this woman, Zheng Liang suddenly felt that he had accidentally rescued an important woman.First of all, the head of the Kashou family, Kasute Tian Yasuke, is an important retainer of the Hirado Matsuura clan. Now this woman is probably the family of an important person in the Kashou family. Although her husband is dead now, and this woman is also due to some The reason is to return to her natal family, but her identity should not be underestimated.As for the Kamiya family, it reminded Zheng Liang of the Kamiya Zongzhan in "Three Heroes of Hakata".In Hakata from the Warring States period to the early Edo period, a large number of wealthy merchants famous for overseas trade emerged.Among them, the most famous ones are the "Three Masters of Hakata".The so-called "Three Heroes of Hakata" are Shimai clan, Kamiya Sozhan and Ohga Soku.Among the three big merchants, the first two were the royal merchants of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the latter served the Kuroda family, the lord of Buzen.But counting the time, Zongzhan Kamiya in the "Three Heroes of Hakata" should have just been born not long ago.

"Did you bring that woman?" Zhengliang asked.He decided to meet the woman who had suffered an accident.

"Yes, Your Highness, she is waiting in the yard," Yinuo said.

Soon a woman who looked about 20 years old walked in.With her snow-white skin, good figure, and outstanding beauty, all men who saw her for the first time couldn't help but look at her again and again.

Sensing the strange gaze of the person above the main seat, the woman quickly lowered her head and bowed to Masaragi, "My concubine is a widow of the Hirado Matsuura Ragoshou family and pays my respects to my lord."

Zhengliang quickly collected his mind and asked calmly, "Are you from the Kamiya family? Do you know Kamiya Shaoce?".According to Zhengliang's memory, the current head of the Kamiya family is Kamiya Shoce, the father of Kamiya Zongzhan.

"My lord, Shenwu Shaoce is my elder brother! Please be merciful, my lord, and return this concubine to my elder brother. My elder brother will definitely reward me generously." Originally, after feeling the strange gaze from the man in front of me, the woman was already a little bit Cold Heart.She is too familiar with this kind of gaze, and basically every man with this kind of gaze will occupy her as a plaything without hesitation in the end.Now that he heard that the other party actually knew his elder brother, the hope in his heart was rekindled immediately.

Sure enough?It seems that this Shenwu family is not simple, and it has connections with so many powerful people. No wonder it will become the leading wealthy businessman in Kyushu in the future.

"I'll go down and clean up after a while, and my family will send you back to Hakata soon. As for the incident of being attacked at sea, no one in my family will spread the word," Zheng Liang finally said, chastity and reputation are very important to a woman's reputation It is very important, especially for this woman who is about to remarry.If Zhengliang remembers correctly, this woman will soon marry into the Qiuyue family of the Chikuzen country, and it is very likely that she returned to her natal family this time for this matter.Qiuyue's family is a tyrannical one who can fight against the big friends' family.But now the Luo's family doesn't even have the qualifications to wrestle with Dayou's family.

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Seeing that nearly two months of inhuman life was coming to an end, the woman was very grateful.

After sending the woman away, Zhengliang immediately found Dongxiang Heiji and Muzo Shigetada who were still in Cangshan City to discuss.

"Now the sea salt workshop of our family has been fully established, and the backlog of coins in the warehouse needs to be dealt with. It's time to establish a stable business route." After introducing the situation of the Kamiya family, Zheng Liang said.

"Since the other party is a businessman with good strength, we should indeed consider the issue of cooperation. Moreover, our family can now transport materials through the territory of the Sashi family. Your Highness, please leave this matter to the old minister," Togo Heiji said.

"No, I'm going to go there myself this time," Zheng Liang said, waving his hand.

"What?" Togo Heiji, Kizo Shigetada, and Ino all screamed below.

"Your Highness, you can't. Now that your Highness belongs to the family's great cause of martial arts, you must not leave the territory easily. Besides, your Highness's safety cannot be guaranteed." The last time the Songhu attack was still vivid, even Zheng Liang His arm had just been unbandaged, and Togo Heiji immediately objected strongly.The other two also joined in.

"This matter is related to the future development of our family. This time I must go in person. As for safety, Yinuo's younger brother, Ninja Yiruo, will accompany me this time. And don't forget, I am still a swordsman. Safety There is absolutely no problem," Zhengliang said.

Although Zhengliang promised again and again, the three retainers below still insisted on remonstrance.In the end, Zheng Liang made some compromises and asked Yi Nuo to go to Hakata to prepare first. Zheng Liang was accompanied by Mu Zuo Shigetada and a few cloaked people, and secretly protected by the ninja Yi Ruo.At the same time, Zhengliang also promised everyone that the wedding date will be fixed immediately after returning to the territory. Now that the Luo family is already a powerful family with thousands of people and income from the territory of thousands of stones, the issue of the heirs of the patriarch must be put on the agenda, otherwise it will affect the family. Territory stability.

After everything was settled, on July [-]th, Zheng Liang officially set off with everyone.Considering the safety issue, everyone pretended to be the guards to escort the family members this time, and escorted the female family members of the Kamiya family back to Hakata Bay.Masara was also dressed like an ordinary samurai, and even his saber was replaced by an ordinary tachi, after all, it was too conspicuous to carry Yoshioka's characters.The only ones who knew of Zhengliang's trip were the people in the previous evaluation and the retainers in the Songhu camp.

The team started from the checkpoint at Pine Lake, and slowly marched along the mountain road where the Luo family dispatched troops to Sazhi's family last time.According to the suggestions of the retainers, Masaragi originally planned to go directly to the south of the territory and the passage bordering the Sashi family, but it was really impossible to guarantee whether the Sashi family would attack halfway regardless of the covenant, so they finally took this mountain road.

On the way, he learned that Master Xuanzhi happened to be visiting a friend at the nearby Dechang Temple. Zheng Liang went to visit immediately, and the two had a long talk that night.On the second day, after bidding farewell to Master Xuanzhi, Zhengliang set off again and arrived at Tangjin Bay in the morning of that day.Tangjin Bay, because it used to be the port from Japan to China, was called "Tang" in China at that time, so it got the name "Dangjin" (Jin means port).Yinuo had already hired a merchant ship to wait here.In charge of rowing are two old boatmen.

"What's that?" Zheng Liang asked, pointing to the flags planted on the bow.

"My lord, that's the ship's mark. Now it's Bodo's ship's mark. Inserting it means that the ship is protected by the Bodo's navy. Ordinary pirates don't dare to rob it casually," said an old boatman. said respectfully.Originally, his son was in charge of the boat, but the client insisted on using an older boatman, which puzzled the old boatman. For this lucrative business, he had no choice but to take the boat himself, and brought along At the same time, my younger brother, who was fishing at sea, came together, otherwise he, an old guy, would really not be able to row this boat.Of course, although it was a bit strange, after decades of being at sea, he also knew what to say and what not to say.

After hearing the old boatman's words, Zheng Liang couldn't help feeling that Bodo will indeed make money!If you think about it with your butt, you know that these boatmen must have spent a lot of money to get these small flags.Zheng Liang secretly made up his mind that when the Luo family's navy becomes stronger in the future, he must follow suit.

Before departure, the two old boatmen performed a short prayer ceremony, which is said to be praying to the sea god, hoping that everything will be safe on this voyage.After preparing everything, the merchant ship officially set off.Originally, Zheng Liang and the escorting woman were arranged in the cabin, but Zheng Liang was really not sure that he could hold on in front of the beautiful woman, so he simply left the woman in there alone, and then he also ran to the deck to enjoy the scenery.

The morning sun was shining brightly, shining on the sea surface, reflecting sparkling phosphorescence from time to time.The salty sea breeze was blowing on his face, but it made people feel quite comfortable.Standing on the bow and looking back, I saw dense trees growing along the coast of Karatsu Bay, forming a beautiful scenery.People of later generations also planted more than 100 million black pines there, which is called "Hong Zhi Song Yuan", attracting tens of thousands of people to visit.

After a while, the boatman sang a boat song, but Zheng Liang didn't understand a word of the lyrics because his pronunciation was really unflattering.However, Zhengliang originally thought that there were only waka and renka in this era, but now he discovered that there was a different culture among the people at the bottom. He was immediately very interested and slowly chatted with the boatman.

After some conversations, Zheng Liang had a clearer understanding of the division of various maritime forces in this era.It turns out that there are generally three forces at sea, namely pirates, Jinggu and sailors.

Pirates are of course armed forces that make their living by plundering at sea. What is surprising is that pirates are no longer a pejorative name, and powerful pirate leaders are even more proud of the title of "Pirate General".Of course, the current pirates are divided into two formations, one still makes a living by robbing property, and the other no longer makes a living by robbing property, but uses commercial activities as an important source of funds.

Jingguzhong originated from the employment force of local tyrants at the seaside. At that time, local tyrants hired armed ships as guards in order to prevent their ships from being attacked by pirates.Although Jingguzhong and Pirates exist in opposition, they may have exactly the same background as members of the maritime armed force. Many Jingguzhong are actually pirates hired by wealthy families and daimyo.

The sailors are relatively formal. They are completely subordinate to a certain daimyo, or are the retainers of the daimyo, and exist as their water power. Now they can be called the navy.

In this way, while admiring the scenery along the way, Zheng Liang headed towards Hakata Bay, which often appears in the game, and now has the opportunity to experience it for himself.
