Chapter 111 The trip to Hakata

The civil strife of the Takashi family that lasted for several days finally ended. The second son of Takashi Katano, who was poisoned, was elected as the new governor of the Takashi family. The poor child was not yet 9 years old and was elected as the head of the family by everyone. With a strong minister and a weak leader, he didn't know how long he could survive. After the navy was attacked by the Luo family, the Takashi family's forces were greatly hit. The Dono family, who had suffered losses last time, took action immediately, and it was very likely to invade the Takashi family and avenge their previous shame. The surrounding powerful people also made some secret changes.

But Zhengliang had no time to take care of the above. Now he needs to deal with something strange.

"You mean, that woman is a family member of a business in Hakata?" Zhengliang asked while waving his arm. The injured arm has basically healed. Today, the simple bandage made of cloth strips has just been removed.

"Yes, Your Highness, this woman claims to be the vassal of Hirado Matsuura's family. Some time ago, she was attacked by the pirate Sanbingwei of Hakata, and was captured by the Three Bingwei as a concubine by the Three Bingwei. Later, because of the fact that our family's strategy for the One Bingwei, she was accidentally rescued," Yi Nuo bowed and said. If he hadn't felt that this woman's identity was a bit difficult, he wouldn't have come to report to the head of the family.

The Cangshou Family? The Kanya Family? After hearing the origin of this woman, Masara suddenly felt that she had accidentally rescued an important woman. First of all, the head of the Cangshou Family, Cangshou Ansuke, was an important retainer of the Hirado Matsuura clan. Now this woman is likely to be the family of an important figure in the Cangshou Family. Although her husband is dead now, and this woman has returned to her parents' home for some reason, her identity should not be underestimated. As for the Cangshou Family, Masara remembers the "Three Heroes of Hakata"

Kamiya Sorzhan. From the Warring States Period to the early Edo period, a large number of wealthy merchants who were famous for overseas trade emerged. Among them, the most famous ones were the "Hata Three Heroes". The so-called "Hata Three Heroes" were the Shimai clan, Kamiya Sorzhan and Oga Soku. Among these three great merchants, the first two were Toyotomi Hideyoshi's royal merchants, while the latter served the Kuroda family, the lord of Toyotomi. But counting the time, Kamiya Sorzhan, among the "Hata Three Heroes", should have just been born shortly after it was born.

"Did that woman bring it?" asked Masayora. He decided to meet this woman who had an unexpected situation.

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

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

Feeling the strange gaze of the person above the main position, the woman quickly lowered her head and bowed to Masarae Yingying, "I am the one who is in Hirado Matsuura Rangshou's family to pay homage to the Lord."

Zhengliang quickly calmed down and asked calmly, "Are you from the Shenwu family? Do you know Shenwu Shaoce?" According to Zhengliang's memory, the current head of the Shenwu family is Shenwu Shaoce, the father of Shenwu Zongzhan.

"Sir, Shaoce of the Divine House is my brother! Please give me kindness and send me back to my elder brother. My elder brother will definitely give me a heavy reward." I felt the strange gaze in front of me just now, and the woman was already a little cold. She was so familiar with this gaze. Basically, every man with this gaze finally occupied her as a plaything without hesitation. Now that he heard that the other party actually knew his elder brother, the hope in his heart immediately rekindled.

Is this true? It seems that this divine house is not simple, it is actually related to so many powerful people. No wonder it will become the leading luxury businessman in Kyushu in the future.

"Let's go on and wash up, and I will send you back to Hakata soon. As for the attack on the sea, no one in my family will spread it," Masayoshi said at last. Chasmyoshi and reputation are very important to a woman's reputation, especially this woman who is about to remarry. If Masayoshi remembers correctly, this woman will soon marry into the Qiuyue family of Chuqian Country. This time I will return to my parents' home. The Qiuyue family is a powerful man who can compete with the Otomoshi family. The current Luo family does not even have the qualifications to compete with the Otomoshi family.

"Thank you! Thank you!" The woman was very grateful for her nearly two months of inhuman life.

After seeing off the woman, Masara immediately found Heiji Togo and Shigetsu Kitaki who were still in Kurayama City to discuss.

"Now my Haiyan Workshop has been completely established, and the coins accumulated in the warehouse need to be processed. It is time to establish a stable trade route," said Zhengliang after introducing the situation of the Shenwu family.

"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 to take responsibility," said Heiji Togo.

"No, I'm going to go there in person this time," Zhengliang waved his hand and said.

"What?", Donggo Heiji, Kizao Shigetachi and Ichino screamed.

"Your Highness, no. Now your highness is in the martial arts of our family, and you must not leave the territory easily. Besides, your highness's safety cannot be guaranteed." The last attack on the Izumo Lake is still vivid in my mind, and even Masayoro's arm has just been removed from the bandage, and Togo Heiji immediately opposed it. The other two agreed.

"This matter is related to the future development of our family. I must go there in person this time. As for safety, Ichino's younger brother, Ninja Ichiro will accompany me to go there this time, and don't forget that I am still a swordsman, so there is absolutely no problem with safety," said Masayoro.

Although Masayoshi repeatedly promised, the three retainers below still advised them. Finally, Masayoshi made some compromises and asked Ichino to go to Hakata first to prepare. Masayoshi was accompanied by Kizuna Shigeta, and there were secretly Ninja Ichiro. At the same time, Masayoshi also agreed to everyone and immediately determine the wedding date after returning to the territory. Now the Luo family is a powerful man with thousands of people and a territorial income of thousands of stones. The issue of the head and descendants of the family must be put on the agenda, otherwise it will affect the stability of the territory.

After everything was settled, on July 19, Masayoshi took everyone to set off. Considering the safety issues, everyone disguised themselves as guards to escort their families and escorted the female family from the Kanwu family back to Hakata Bay. Masayoshi was also dressed as an ordinary samurai, and even his sword was replaced with an ordinary sabre. After all, it was too conspicuous to carry Jigang's words. Only those who learned that Masayoshi traveled last time and the retainers in the camp of Songhu.

The team set out from the checkpoint of Exit Song Lake and slowly marched along the mountain road where the Luo family sent troops to the Sashi family last time. According to the advice of the retainers, Masayoro originally planned to go directly to the passage south of the territory that bordered the Sashi family, but it was impossible to ensure that the Sashi family would attack halfway regardless of the alliance, so they finally walked on this mountain road.

On the way, he learned that Master Xuanzhi happened to visit his friend at the nearby Dechang Temple, Zhengliang immediately went to visit him. The two had a long talk that night. The next day, after bidding farewell to Master Xuanzhi, Zhengliang set out again and arrived at Tangjinwan on the morning of the same day. Tangjinwan, because it was a port for Japan to go to China in the past, it was called "Tangjin" in China at that time, so it was named "Tangjin" (Jin means port). Yinuo had already hired a merchant ship to wait here. The two old boatmen were responsible for rowing.

"What is that?" Zhengliang asked, pointing to the flags inserted at the bow of the ship.

"Sir, that's a ship logo. Now he is a ship logo from the Boduo family. If he plugs it into it, it means that the ship is protected by the Boduo family's navy. Ordinary pirates dare not rob it casually," said an old boatman respectfully. Originally, his son was responsible for the ship, but the customer insisted on using an older boatman, which made the old boatman wonder. For this business that made him very profitable, he had to go on the battle himself and brought his younger brother who was fishing at the sea at the same time. Otherwise, he would not be able to pad the ship alone. Of course, although it was a bit strange, he had been staying at sea for decades and knew what to say and what not to say.

After hearing the old boatman's words, Masayoshi couldn't help but sigh that the Bodo family would indeed make money! When they thought about it, they knew that these boat companies must have spent a lot of money to get this small flag. Masayoshi secretly made up his mind that when the Luo family's naval army became stronger in the future, they must follow it.

Before departure, the two old boatmen held a brief prayer ceremony, which was said to be praying for the sea god, hoping that everything would be safe this time. After everything was ready, the merchant ship officially set off. Originally, Masayoshi and the woman escorted were arranged in the cabin, but Masayoshi was really not sure that he could control the beauty, so he simply left the woman inside alone, and then he ran to the deck to see the scenery.

The morning sun shines brightly on the sea surface, reflecting glittering phosphorescence from time to time. The fishy and salty sea breeze blows on her face, but it makes people feel quite comfortable. Standing at the bow of the boat, looking back, I saw dense trees growing along the coast of Tangjin Bay, forming a beautiful scenery. Later generations also planted more than 1 million black pine trees there, called "Rainbow Songyuan", which attracted thousands of people to visit.

After a while, the boatman sang the boat song. Because the pronunciation was really not satisfactory, Masayoshi didn't understand a single lyric. However, Masayoshi originally thought that there were only some kind of songs, songs, etc. in this era, but now he found that there was a different culture among the lower class people. He immediately became very interested and started a chat with the boatman.

After some conversation, Zhengliang had a clearer understanding of the division of various maritime forces in this era. It turned out that the sea was generally divided into three types, namely the pirates, the police, and the shipkeepers.

Of course, the pirates are armed forces that make a living by robbing at sea. What is surprising is that now pirates are no longer a derogatory name, and the powerful pirate leader is even more proud of the title of "pirate general". Of course, the pirates are now divided into two formations, one is still robbing property, and the other is no longer robbing property, but uses commercial activities as an important source of funds.

The police Guzhong first originated from the hiring forces of the seaside tyrants. At that time, the tyrants hired armed ships as guards in order to prevent their ships from being attacked by pirates. Although the police Guzhong and the pirates are opposites, they may have the same origin as the maritime armed forces. Many police Guzhong are actually pirates hired by the rich and Daming.

The shipmen are relatively formal. They are completely subordinate to a certain Daming, or the retainers of Daming, and exist as their water forces. They can now be called the navy.

In this way, Masarara was admiring the scenery along the way while heading towards the Hakata Bay, which often appears in the game and now has the opportunity to experience it personally.
