225. Seaport New Iga
Modern Malacca has become one of the most prosperous areas in the country based on the largest trade turnover in the world. Five hundred years ago, it was also the most developed place in commercial areas. The land prices in the center of the town are high, so the new stronghold of the Santafu of Baidi is located near Malitanna, the current suburb of Malitanna.
This is a large manor, close to the sea, and the entire building highlights a characteristic of East-West integration. It can be seen that the manor was decorated in Western style before, but the owner of the yard later transformed the oriental style. From a distance, it has a legacy of the Han and Tang dynasties.
I took a few people to the door of the manor, and someone immediately stopped us and asked about our purpose. I smiled faintly and said, "Ishikawa Goeimon now? Just tell him, and Sun Qilan is here."
The gatekeeper of the gate seemed to be a native, and it was absolutely no surprise that I had never seen it, but from his expression, he seemed to have an impression of the name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. So the young man didn't say anything and asked others to follow us first, but he quickly turned around and ran into the yard.
After a moment, several sounds of wind breaking out sounded in the yard, and several agile figures appeared in front of me. The leader was not someone else, but Ishikawa Goemon, who had one eye missing. When he walked five steps away from me, he recognized me at a glance! Without saying a word, he immediately hit the ground on one knee and bowed to me!
"So it's the gentleman who has arrived! I'm sorry for his mistakes, I hope to forgive me!" Ishikawa Goemon was still engraved with me, his life-savior. After seeing me, he showed great enthusiasm. How could the little character beside him salute and what he thought, I didn't know. I walked over quickly and helped Goemon Ishikawa up with both hands and said, "After three years of separation, is Ishikawa okay? Where is the leader of the hundred-land?"
Ishikawa Goemon said excitedly: "Yes! It's been three years! I still remember the night when my husband rescued us! I'm fine. I'm good at training newbies and have trained some good seedlings who can go out for field trips. It's just the leader of the Hundred-Di... "
I frowned and said, "What's wrong with him?"
Ishikawa Goemon pursed his lips and approached me and whispered: "After the leader of Hokuto came to Malacca, he kept saying that he couldn't live in this humid and hot place. After discussing with his son Hokuto, he had moved to Naha alone to live in seclusion, but I never told anyone."
I said oh, nodded and said, "It's good that people are fine! Only you know where you live is comfortable, don't restrain the elderly!"
Ishikawa Goemon grinned and said, "That's right! I specially sent four little guys to take care of him, and two veterans have full-time protection. I guess there is no problem!"
While we were talking, we had already entered the manor. There was another scene inside. From the outside, it looked like a planting manor. After coming in, we realized that it was indeed a "planting manor", but the excellent ninja seedlings were planted!
Simply put, inside the high walls of the manor, there is a complete ninja training ground, landscapes, forests, pavilions, ropes and boardwalks, winding paths, and all the equipment and terrain used for training are available here. In the words of Ishikawa Goemon, because the commercial here is developed and many materials are better themselves, the construction effect even surpasses the strongholds of the Iga Ninjas themselves!
The Nine Ghost Masato, Ari, Ara, Mo and others who came from Iga were all amazed. Unexpectedly, in Nanyang, thousands of miles away, the Iga people built a new home!
I looked at the equipment in front of me and felt a little touched. In my previous life, Uncle Suzuki trained me and also trained such a set of all-terrain adaptation equipment, which made me take off several layers of skin. After meeting my third uncle in this life, when I was training in Bijia Mountain in Jinzhou, although there were not so many regular equipment, the effect was not bad with the flowers, plants, trees, birds, animals, insects and fish there...
When I arrived at the Masato, there was a large plaque of "Taiyi" hanging on the screen wall, and the walls on both sides were full of military tactics. I came to serve tea, and I sipped tea and listened to Ishikawa Goemon telling about the past few years.
Back then, I rescued the Santa Oshio from Takigawa Ichii and Kyuki Katsuraki, and I was injured. Ishikawa Goemon, took them out to sea, defeated the pursued Kyuki Katsuraki, and broke up at sea.
Since I returned to the Ming Dynasty, I immediately met my third uncle. Chen Kui and Murong Qin, who had already disappeared, took a boat to the West and bought five Calais Clippers. And Santao Baidi and Goemon Ishikawa brought the last boat and the start-up funds I funded, traveled across the ocean and came to Malacca.
After seeing his father, Danba Hesheng was naturally surprised and burst into tears. When he left, the situation in Japan was already quite bad. He only thought that he ran away in a hurry because of the "residing" of the Baidi family. He did not expect that he would meet his father one day!
After learning that it was me who helped me again, Hideaki Tanba was also very moved. When I knew that I wanted them to build a ninja training camp here and train their confidants, Hideaki Tanba, who had already accumulated a little, immediately donated generously and donated this large manor as a stronghold for all work.
The third prince of the Hundred Di was already disheartened at this time, so he left all the things to Ishikawa Goemon to do. This passionate man was far away from the killing and being killed in Japan, and was a little uncomfortable, so he was naturally very happy after receiving this task.
However, the start is not so easy. First, most people are speechless and it is very difficult to interact with the enemy; second, people here do not know much about the ninja group. Due to the secret nature of their profession, they are not easy to publicize, so it is very difficult to absorb new blood.
It was not until the next year that two Chinese-speaking ninjas got married locally that this group gradually integrated into the local society. In other words, the local people began to accept these guys who seemed "mysterious".
Their business is also gradually developing. Of course, it is mainly some "soft businesses" such as intelligence spy and message transmission. Correspondingly, some "hard businesses" that need to be seen are mainly targeted overseas. Not long ago, the Memphis Chamber of Commerce invited them to assassinate Simmons Kuhn. Their asking price is very high and the other party is very happy. However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find Simmons Kuhn. The time limit was over, so the contract had to be invalidated.
Of course, due to the inaccurate information provided by the Memphis family, Ishikawa Goemon still collected a deposit of 30% according to the rules. The Memphis Chamber of Commerce had no objection and only said that it would cooperate in the future. Today they realized that the reason why Simmons Kuhn was that I was caught by him. This really makes people wonder where to start!
In recent years, the entire operation of Shin Iga has gradually become regular. The original old people have gradually reached the management level, that is, at least at the Chunin or above, and the new blood has enriched the Shinin class.
According to my requirements, these sarcasm were selected from different groups. This can be seen from the variety of skin colors.
Speaking of this, I also explained my purpose - before going to the West, I needed to find some people who can deal with different situations - the reason is very simple. In my current team, except for the ship doctor Rodriguez who is a white man, the others are all eastern and eastern. When I go to the West, I often need to act secretly, and this face has become the most important stealth weapon.
Ishikawa Goemon naturally had nothing to say. He thought about it and recommended four Shinin to me.
The four Shinin, three men and one woman, are of different fields of expertise. The four people have three white men, one with a very dark skin color, and her thick lips are obviously a contestant from the African plateau. After asking, this guy is also a descendant of a sailor, adhering to the principle of where the sailor goes and where he is born. He doesn't know who his parents are, and where he is, only knows that Iga is his home, and I am their boss's boss, and he will definitely listen to me.
I nodded and smiled. The young man was very good at speaking, I liked it. This young man could speak five African languages and some Spanish. Of course, he could also know Chinese and Japanese. I calculated and drank it. This kid was also a high-end white-collar worker with seven languages! His name was "You", and I remembered it.
The three white people's Xia Nin are good at different fields. What attracted my attention was the only female Xia Nin, known as "Zhi", whose specialty was actually - traditional Chinese medicine!
Well, I am going to ask Rodriguez to investigate her. If I have good character and skill, I will be given the experience of Mamahadi's traditional Chinese medicine to her, so that she can become the No. 2 doctor in our fleet and the chief Chinese medicine doctor.
The other two are good at playing and singing, "painting" in minstrels, and "spring" in ventriloquism. Well, now I know that the names of these guys are all based on their own characteristics, and it is easy to see at a glance!
There is no need to mention eating and drinking. When I knew I was coming, I rushed back to meet him. I even brought a precious gift - the hidden weapon collected by the Three Taifu of Baidi - the Sun and Moon Meteor. This set of hidden weapons has a total of three types and nine pieces, which is extremely difficult to operate, but it is not difficult for me who has mastered the eagle feather style.
The meaning of the Three Madams of the Hundred and Earth is that he has been away from the world and naturally does not need these male weapons, so he gave them to me together.
I naturally accepted this kind of intention.
The next morning, we set off to leave the Shin Iga Ninja Training Camp, but there were four more people in the team.
Back at the headquarters of the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce, I finally made arrangements - all five large North Sea three-masted sailboats snatched from the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce were left to Grandfather Ye and the others. I was mainly worried that the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce would take revenge secretly, so I did everything possible to strengthen the local strength.
Naturally, Grandfather Ye had no objection. Uncle Ye raised his only hope, that after I arrived in the West, I would take care of myself without regrets, and even if I was not successful, I would at least be safe. Of course, I know this.
Mavie originally wanted to stay and help Grandfather Ye run the chamber of commerce. I knew what he was thinking. He wanted to find an opportunity to attack Simmons Kuhn. I talked with him in detail and talked about his concerns. I suggested that he could follow me first from the overall situation. As for the Kuhn Chamber of commerce, we will definitely settle the new and old accounts together when we see each other next time.
After hearing what I said, Mavie said nothing else, accepted my arrangement and rushed to the West together.
We cleaned up inside and out for a day and reinforced and replenished the five medium-sized ships. The next day at dawn, we reached the time to leave again and head west.
Grandfather Ye and others naturally sent them to the port. When we watched me go out to sea, we kept waved farewell after we set sail. I couldn't help but cry and waved goodbye. Until we could no longer see each other, we left the deck and entered the cabin.
Chapter completed!
