The Izumo Kingdom is the largest country in the East China Sea, and is now in the haze of East-West War.

Around it, there are some fragmented islands and many excellent wharfs.

The most famous of them is Jiegang, which is located under the direct control of the Ping family. It trades with the mainland every year and makes a lot of profits.

In addition, there are many excellent ports in the middle of the country, especially on several nearby islands, which have been occupied by some pirate families, and even after being recruited, they have transformed into examples of shogunate naval forces.

For example, in the Western Kingdom, there are a group of "Sea Wild People" on the small island called Siji.

Siji Island is not big, only a few villages, but there is a natural safe haven where the Haino family has lived for generations. At first, it was just a group of fishermen. Later, they gradually started the business of pirates and passed on their family through this.

By the last time the East-West War, the Hirano family developed many forces, with ten ships and hundreds of sailors. Therefore, they secretly took advantage of the Western Rebellion and established several strongholds on the shore. Later, they were accepted by the Hei clan and obtained the Siyoshima Anbu Si, which was truly recognized as a vassal lord.

Of course, this happened a long time ago.

In fact, decades ago, the attitude of the Hino family was a little swaying. After the Fujiwara family rose and shocked the Western Kingdom in the battle, the Hino family governor immediately sent a proton as soon as possible, and wrote a letter to loyalty, tied his family to the chariot that the Fujiwara family fought for the world.

There is no way to do this. If the Hei clan is still strong, the nails of the Kaino family and others in the Western countries will naturally play a role properly and balance the Fujiwara family.

But after the strength of the two sides remained equal, the Hei clan could not affect the Western country, especially the Hira clan, which was in civil strife, and could not provide any support at all. They could only watch the nails in the Western country being pulled out one by one by Chiyo Fujiwara.

If it continues to be stubborn, it is probably not only the interests of the Hino family on land, but also the Siyoshima cannot be defended.

Under the general trend, many senior members of the Hina family also agreed with this decision.

In fact, if the Hei clan achieved the final victory, then the head of the family, Mitsuo, who made the decision to vote for the Fujiwara family, would have been prepared to apologize long ago, and everything was to preserve the family.

Siji Island, port.

With the financial resources of the Hino family, it is impossible to build a city or build a Tianshou Pavilion. Therefore, the Hino family is still in the previous fishing village, but it seems that it has expanded a lot and has become a fishing town.

Sanlang was trying hard to dry the fishing net, and there seemed to be his father's nagging in his ears.

They talk about the war between the two daimyos on land, and they also said that the Hino family might also go to the battlefield, so today they deliberately took out the rusty spearhead and grind it.

For Saburo, all this is really far away. It is not as fun as catching one more fish today and going back to have a meal at night.

However, just as he finished packing his fishing net and looked up at the beach, he suddenly became stunned.

What did he see?

At the intersection of sea and sky, the three black dots became larger and larger, turning into extremely huge sea ships.

Compared with them, even the Zong family's warships are like a stunted child.

Not only Saburo was stunned, but the other fishermen also shouted, passing the panic all the way to the Honeyomoto family.

Dangdang!

A harsh sound rang out, and many fishermen grabbed their children directly and hid back into the thatched wooden house. However, the men from each family shouted and quickly took out their weapons.

Just as the Zong family naval army was about to be dispatched, they put down a small boat from the three large ships and slowly moved to the shore.

A middle-aged man dressed in a samurai strode forward: "I am the Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei, please see the head of the Hino Family!"

At this time, the Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei was sincerely loyal to Duan Yu and asked to become an envoy because his Nine Ghosts had been hanging in the Western Kingdom before and could have some friendship with the Hino Family.

Since he was loyal to Duan Yu in the labor camp, his life has returned to its original state. Recently, he has been promoted to a warrior (he believes it himself), and has been given fifty stones of knowledge and action, so he has become a retainer of the master's family and must be loyal to the master's family.

Moreover, this outfit and the two Tai swords on his waist were all given by the Lord, which is really generous.

You know, many lower-level warriors could not even afford a set of clean clothes when they were in a downturn.

"Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei? From the Nine Ghosts family?"

The surrounding Zun looked at each other in a moment. After a while, the crowd dispersed. A same warrior walked out and looked up and down at the Jiugui Qing Bingwei: "The Jiugui family has been deprived of hereditary knowledge and actions?"

"I... the Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei, have regained knowledge and regained my family's reputation!"

The Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei raised his waist and said loudly.

"oh?"

The samurai who came bowed and said, "I was rude. I'm going to go to Kuhara, what's wrong with you?"

"On behalf of my family, Daming Yunzhong Island, I come to visit the governor of the Haino family!" The Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei said loudly, holding a letter high.

"Yunzhongdao Daming?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Kuyahara's face, but the three big ships behind were not fake. This unfamous Daming of Yunakashima seems to be very strong.

Immediately, I smiled and became even more respectful, and invited the Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei to the Zong family mansion.

Although the financial resources of the Hino family were unable to build Tianshou Pavilion or build a city, the Zong family was built very large, with walls on all sides, the overall building was also deconstructed by wooden structures, and there were light patrols on the outside.

If Duan Yu was here, he would be roughly rated as a house of a large family in the Qing Kingdom. But in the eyes of these Siji Island natives, they were already a gorgeous palace.

After passing through the numerous guards, the Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei finally met the contemporary head of the Hino Family, Hino Ma Shou.

This is a samurai in her forties or fifties. Her hair is white and her skin is bronze. She is obviously often exposed to wind and sun. Her small eyes are very lively and have a shrewd and dry look.

In fact, the same is true. At this time, the Ping family still had half of the world, and its rule in the Eastern Kingdom was very strong, with many relatives.

Even if you dare to defect to the Fujiwara family at this time, even if you have geography and forced reasons, you are quite determined.

The Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei secretly praised in his heart, his fists were closed together, placed on both sides, and saluted meticulously.

"The Qing Bingwei of the Jiugui Family... I have heard of you, and you were wanted for killing Mi Shang during a Mi commotion?"

But Ma Shou took the letter and did not unfold it immediately. Instead, he looked at the Jiugui Qing Bingwei: "What you are serving now is... Daming of Yunakashima? It seems that he is an overseas vassal lord."

"Hi, that's exactly!"

The Nine Ghosts Qing Bingguard nodded and stared at Haiye Danma Shu.

The head of the boss read the letter and his face changed: "Da Ming in the cloud wants to trade with my family?"

"It's... my daimyo is willing to buy slaves from the Haino family with weapons, silk, or even gold and silver... It's best for young men and women, followed by children. If there is a family, it's okay to go together!"

The Nine Ghosts Qing soldiers’ guards’ request was expressed.

"This is...unexpected!" Haiye Dan Ma Shou murmured.

There are naturally people who buy slaves in history, but most of them are mainly young and strong. After buying them, they either go to the mine or reclaim them. Anyway, they do dirty work and work hard, and eat worse than livestock, and often cannot live for a few years.

Both men and women want it, and even their families accept it, especially in this chaotic background, which is simply doing good deeds.

After all, even in peacetime, the people of Izumo still sell their children and daughters. At this time, when there is war, the Kitano family doesn't have to pay for it, so that the samurai family can pay attention to collecting it.

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

"The ship from my family can hold 500 people this time! In terms of price, it will definitely satisfy your family..."

The Qing soldiers and guards who received Duan Yu's instructions were not under pressure: "And... this is not a business, the slaves of our family are the better!"

"This is really... amazing!"

Haiye Danma Shou murmured, and couldn't help but give a solemn greeting: "I want to invite the envoys, but I wonder if I can invite all the warriors on the boat together?"

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you very much!"

The Nine Ghosts Qing Bingwei quickly returned the gift, knowing that the deal was almost done.

...

On the deck of the sea ship.

Duan Yu looked at the fishing town of the Haiye family, Zhizhu was in control: "For this transaction, as long as the head of the Haiye family is not stupid, it will definitely succeed! He may also invite me to wait, so Bai Ren will come on my behalf, and my whereabouts must be kept confidential!"

"Abide by the order!"

Guo Bairen agreed, but was a little confused.

"To be honest... I had a bit too much in Kyoto last time. At least the Tai family should have killed me soon. I am not afraid of this family, but there are some divine ways on it. The involvement of the Immortal Sect is also a little troublesome..." Duan Yu explained with a wry smile: "I traded in the name of Yunzhongjun and chose to be in the Western Kingdom, so I have such considerations..."

In fact, at this time, the Hei clan was busy fighting for the position of the family governor or going to war with the Fujiwara family. He should not notice this, but Duan Yu still strives to be cautious.

The Fujiwara family, the most powerful Western country, is preparing to go to Luoyang. Even for the Fujiwara family, Duan Yu is not a real enemy.

It is not certain that the two assassinations were exposed. Perhaps there was a turning point. What Duan Yu really guarded against was the intervention of extraordinary power.

"In addition, please ask the Kitano family to do the quarantine work for us!"

At this time, the most feared thing about large-scale population migration was the transmission of plague, and even Duan Yu had no good idea.

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

In this way, the health of the other immigrants can be guaranteed.

However, some of the risks of contagion were left to the Kitano family.

"I understand, my subordinates will make a request to the Haino family..." Guo Bairen smiled: "I believe that the other party will agree to such a small request."

After all, Duan Yu gave it very high price, and even women and children wanted it, which was definitely a profitable deal.
