Ask The Dao

Izumo is the largest country in the East China Sea, and it is now sinking into the haze of a war between East and West.

Around it, there are some fragmentary islands, and there is no shortage of good docks.

One of the most famous is Jiegang, which is under the direct control of Pingshi, and trades with the mainland every year, making huge profits.

In addition, there are many excellent ports in the middle of the country, especially the nearby small islands, which have been occupied by certain pirate families, and even after being recruited, they have changed and become examples of the shogunate navy.

For example, in the Western Kingdom, on the small island named Siji, there are a group of ‘sea wild people’.

The small island of Siji is not big, only a few townships, but there is a natural haven. The Ueno family has lived here for generations. At first, they were just a group of fishermen who were engaged in pirate business.

Until the last time the East and West joined forces, the Ueno family developed a lot of forces, with ten ships and hundreds of sailors. Therefore, taking advantage of the Western Rebellion, they sneaked ashore and established several strongholds on the shore. They were later accepted by the Ping family. Obtained the Shijidao An Block Certificate and was truly recognized as a feudal lord.

Of course, this was a long time ago.

In fact, as early as decades ago, the attitude of the Ueno family was a bit swaying, and after the rise of the Fujiwara family, and after the First World War shocked the Western countries, the Ueno family’s family supervisor immediately dispatched protons and wrote allegiance to his family. On the chariot of the Fujiwara family fighting for the supremacy of the world.

There is no other way. If the Ping clan is still strong, the nails of the Ueno family and others in the West will naturally play a proper role in balancing the Fujiwara family.

However, after the strength of the two sides was equal, the Ping clan could not influence the West, especially the Ping clan, who was in the civil strife, could not give any support at all. He could only watch the nails in the West domestically be pulled out by Fujiwara Chiyo one by one.

If it continues to be stubborn, I am afraid that it is not only the interests of the Umino Family on the land, but even Siji Island can not hold it.

Under the general trend, many elders of the Hai Ye family also agreed with this decision.

In fact, if the Hei clan wins the final victory, the Patriarch Umino, who made the decision to vote for the Fujiwara clan, is already prepared to apologize, all for the preservation of the family.

Siji Island, port.

With the financial resources of the Ueno family, it is impossible to build a city or build a castle tower. Therefore, the Ueno family is still the previous fishing village, but it seems to have expanded a lot and turned into a fishing town.

Saburo was trying hard to dry the fishing net, and his father seemed to be talking in his ears.

They talked about the upcoming battle between the two big names on land, and that the Umino family might also be on the battlefield. Today, they deliberately took out the rusty spearhead and was grinding it.

For Saburo, all this is really far away. It is not as happy as catching one more fish today and going back to have a meal in the evening.

However, just as he finished packing his own fishing nets and occasionally raised his head and looked towards the beach, the whole person was suddenly stunned.

What did he see?

At the junction of the sea and the sky, the three black dots grew bigger and bigger, turning them into huge sea ships.

Compared with them, even if it was the Zong family's warship, it looked like a stunted child.

Saburo was not the only one who was staying, other fishermen also yelled, passing the panic all the way to Umino's home.

Dangdang!

There was a harsh sound, and many fisherwomen grabbed their children directly and hid in the thatched wooden houses, but the men of each family yelled and quickly took out their weapons.

Just as the Zongjia navy was about to be dispatched, another small boat was dropped from the three big boats and slowly moved to the shore.

A middle-aged man dressed as a samurai strode forward: "I'm Kuki Kiyobei, please see the Umino Family Patriarch!"

Nine Ghosts Kiyobei ​​was sincerely loyal to Duan Yu at this time and asked to be an emissary, because his Nine Ghosts had been in the Western Country before, and he was able to have some friendship with Hai Ye Family.

After serving Duan Yu in the labor camp, his life has returned to its original state anyway. Recently, he was promoted to a samurai (in his own opinion). He was given 50 Shi Zhixing and became a retainer of the master's family. Be loyal.

Moreover, this outfit and the two Taishou on his waist were all bestowed by the lord, which is really generous.

You know, many lower-level warriors can't even afford a set of clean clothes when they are down.

"Nine Ghosts Kiyobei? From the Nine Ghosts?"

The surrounding Ashikaga looked at each other. After a while, the crowd dispersed, and a similar samurai came out and looked up and down the Nine Ghosts Kiyobei: "The Nine Ghosts who have been deprived of hereditary knowledge and action?"

"I... Nine Ghosts Kiyobei, I have regained Zhixing and regained my family name!"

Nine Ghosts Kiyobei ​​stood up and said loudly.

"Oh?"

The samurai who came here bowed: "I was impolite, in Shimouno Kyuhara, what's the matter with you?"

"On behalf of my family, Yunzhongdao Daimyo, I'm here to visit the Supervisor of the Umino Family!" Kuji Kiyobei ​​said loudly, holding up a letter paper.

"The name of Yunzhongdao?"

A trace of doubt flashed on Umino's face, but the three big ships behind were always not fake. This Yunzhongdao daimyo, who was never known, seemed very strong.

With a smile on his face, he was even more respectful, and invited the Nine Ghosts Kiyobei ​​to the Zong Family Mansion.

Although the Ueno family's financial resources were not yet able to build a castle tower or a castle, the clan family was built to be very large, surrounded by walls, the whole building was deconstructed from wood, and there were light patrols on the periphery.

If Duan Yu were here, he would evaluate it as the standard of a large family in Qing Dynasty. But in the eyes of the natives of Siji Island, it is already a gorgeous palace.

After passing through the heavy guards, the Nine Ghosts Kiyobei ​​finally met the contemporary patriarch of the Ueno Family-Umino Tajima Shou.

This is a forty or fifty-year-old warrior with frosty white hair and bronzed skin. He is obviously exposed to the wind and sun, but his small eyes are very smart, showing a shrewd and strong dry color.

In fact, it was the same. At this time, the Ping clan still controlled half of the world, and his rule in the Eastern Kingdom was very strong, with many pro-fans.

Dare to join the Fujiwara family at this time, even if there are geographical and persecuted reasons, it is quite decisive.

Nine Ghosts Qingbingwei praised secretly in his heart, fists close together, placed both sides outside, saluting meticulously.

"Qingbingwei of the Nine Ghosts...I have heard of you. I heard that you were wanted for killing a rice merchant during a rice commotion?"

Umino Tanamashou took the letter and didn't start it immediately. Instead, he looked at Kuki Kiyobei: "What you serve now is... Daimyo Yunakashima? It seems to be an overseas feudal lord."

"Hi, that's it!"

Nine Ghosts Kiyobei ​​nodded, staring at Umino Tajima.

The master opened the letterhead and read it, and his face suddenly changed: "The name of the cloud wants to trade with my family?"

"It's exactly... my family is willing to use weapons, silk, and even gold and silver to buy slaves from the sea field... young and strong men and women are the best, followed by children. If you have a family, you can do it together!"

Nine Ghosts Qingbingwei told Duan Yu's request.

"This is... unexpected!" Umino Tajima murmured.

There have always been people who bought slaves, but most of them are in demand. After buying them, they will either go to mines or cultivate. Anyway, they do dirty work and hard work. They eat worse than livestock, and they often cannot live for a few years.

Both men and women, and even the family accept it, especially in this troubled time background, it is simply doing good deeds.

After all, even in peaceful times, the people of Izumo still sell children and girls. At this time, in the war, even the Ueno family didn't need to pay for it. Just let the samurai of the family pay attention to collecting them.

Haiye Tan Ma Shou felt that this business could be done in his heart, but still asked tentatively, "I don't know how much your family needs?"

"The boat from this family can hold 500 people this time! The price will definitely satisfy your family..."

Qing Bingwei, who had received Duan Yu's instructions, had no pressure: "And... this is not a business yet. The slaves of this family are the more the better!"

"This is really... incredible!"

Umino Tajima murmured, and he couldn't help but solemnly salute: "I want to entertain the messenger. I wonder if I can invite the samurai on board together?"

"Thank you so much!"

Nine Ghosts Kiyobei ​​hurriedly returned the gift, knowing that the transaction was almost complete.

...

Above the deck of the ship.

Duan Yu looked at the fishing town of Haino’s family, and Zhizhu was in his hands: “This transaction, as long as the owner of Haino’s family is not stupid, it will be done! He may even entertain me and wait~www.readwn.com~ and let Bairenyou take my place. Come forward, my whereabouts must be kept secret!"

"Yes!"

Guo Bairen agreed, with some doubts.

"To be honest... Last time I played too much in Kyoto, at least the Pingshi should kill me and then hurry up. I am not afraid of this one, but there are some Shinto and Immortal involvements on it, and it is also a little troublesome... …" Duan Yu explained with a wry smile: "I traded in the name of the monarch in the cloud, and I chose to be in the West, so I have this consideration..."

In fact, at this time, the Ping clan was busy vying for the position of house governor, or fighting with the Fujiwara clan, he should not notice this side, but Duan Yu still tried to be cautious.

The Fujiwara family, the most powerful in the West, is preparing to go to Luo. Even for the Fujiwara family, Duan Yu is not a real enemy.

The incident of the two assassinations was not necessarily exposed. Perhaps there was a turning point. What Duan Yu really prevented was the intervention of extraordinary power.

"In addition, the quarantine work can also be entrusted to Uenoya to do it for us!"

At this time, large-scale population migration is most afraid of spreading plague, and even Duan Yu has no good way.

The best way to deal with it is to find another place to quarantine for a period of time, and quarantine if there is disease.

Only in this way can the health of the remaining immigrants be guaranteed.

It's just that some of the risks of infection are all given to Ueno's family.

"Understood, the subordinates will make a request to the Hai Ye Family..." Guo Bairen smiled: "Presumably, the other party will agree to such a small request."

After all, Duan Yu's price is very generous, even for women and children, it is definitely a profitable business.

If you don't make some requests in other aspects, I'm afraid that Umino Tajima will be suspicious instead.
