Chapter 25: The Trouble of Yuanfu Village (1)
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, after Ryukyu became a vassal of China, 36 Fujian people immigrated to Ryukyu, most of them were navigators, scholars or other people with a skill, they were responsible for navigation, shipbuilding, the preparation of diplomatic documents, translation, trade with China and other affairs in Ryukyu, which promoted the comprehensive development of Ryukyu navigation, economy and academia, and Ryukyu soon became a trade hub of neighboring countries due to its waterways.
With the continuous development of the Ryukyus, some people from China have moved here, especially some families who have caused the disaster of extermination in the country. Genfu Village is said to have been founded by a man from Ouyang Jianfeng who brought his family to Ryukyu for refuge. Ouyang Jianfeng was born in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, his family is a small family in Fujian, after several generations of business also has thin assets, because Ouyang Jianfeng's son inadvertently killed the son of a local county king, causing the disaster of extermination, Ouyang Jianfeng simply took dozens of family members to Ryukyu for refuge, and later settled here. Because he missed his homeland and did not let his descendants forget his roots in the country, the source was in Fujian, so he named the village Yuanfu Village.
Genfuku Village is a relatively large village near Shuri, with more than 500 men, women, and children in the village.
The next day, Lin Junxiong asked Manxiong and Shuri to lead the troops to march in the back, and he took Dusheng, Wu Hansheng and Da Zhuang to feel the situation first, and Shang Tianen also followed.
There are two Japanese soldiers loitering in the archway at the entrance of Yuanfu Village, after two settlements, several people are ready to enter the village, Lin Junxiong secretly wonders how to see from the entrance of the village that Yuanfu Village not only has no signs of being washed in blood, but seems very calm, this is not in line with the Japanese style of doing things, if the Japanese army found that Yuanfu Village has anti-Japanese behavior, it should not be the current situation, there must be a problem, Lin Junxiong secretly raised his vigilance. After calling Shang Tianen to give instructions for a while, after Shang Tianen left, Lin Junxiong observed the situation nearby, wanting to see if he could find clues.
At a height of about a few hundred meters from the entrance of the village, a Japanese officer about forty years old with the rank of Shaozuo looked at the entrance of the village with a telescope, his face showed surprise, and said to the two lieutenant officers behind him: "Yo Xi, the 'bandits' are slowly taking the bait." Then he handed the binoculars to the thirty-year-old captain on the left, the captain looked at it, bowed his head to Shao Zuo and saluted: "Shao Zuo Yingming, this time the 'bandits' will not escape." ”
The captain on the right was also about thirty years old, and he was excited when he took the binoculars, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but be surprised: "It turned out to be him." ”
"Sanada-kun, do you know them?" The lieutenant asked.
"Gangyoshi-kun, one of my squadrons suffered heavy losses a year ago, and it was this person who led the 'bandits' to do it." The captain who was called Sanada said, turned around and said respectfully to Shaozuo: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, please allow me to be a pioneer this time, and I will be ashamed. ”
It turned out that these three people were officers of the Japanese Okinawa garrison Murakami Buyoshi Brigade, Shaozo was none other than Murakami Takeyoshi, and the two lieutenants were Sanada Yukio and Okamichi Sho Squadron Leader. The Japanese army stationed in Okinawa was the Kawakami Division, which was subordinate to the three wings of Maeda Hidetaka, Kuki Yoshimasa, and Asakura Keitai, and the Murakami Buyoshi Brigade belonged to the Maeda Hidetaka Wing.
Two days ago, Gangji was bringing a young man named Ruan Xuelin to report to Murakami, saying that the whereabouts of the "bandits" had been found near Yuanfu Village, and they were suspected to be the subordinates of the Black Carbon King.
This Ruan Xuelin is a descendant of a pro-Japanese family, because he likes a girl named Ouyang Xueyue in Yuanfu Village, and often stays in Yuanfu Village, and Ouyang Xueyue also faintly likes him in her heart. And Ouyang Xueyue's father, Ouyang Xialei, is the head of Yuanfu Village, knowing that Ruan Xuelin's family is pro-Japanese, he doesn't agree, he doesn't want to be poked in the backbone by himself or even the entire village. So he married Ouyang Xueyue to another talented man from the Naha City family, Ruan Xuelin was very angry when he found out, so he took someone to Yuanfu Village to force Ouyang Xialei to break Ouyang Xueyue's marriage contract and marry her to himself. Who knows, being beaten out of the village by the powerful Ouyang Xialei made the hatred in his heart even stronger.
Ruan Xuelin was beaten out of the village, and saw a few villagers helping a few girls back to the village, so he stepped forward to talk, and the villagers did not take precautions to say that a few girls in the village were caught by the Japanese army, fortunately they met the first and second fierce generals under the Black Carbon King, and killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in a few clicks, and these two heroes will bring people to the village five days later. Ruan Xuelin showed a grim smile after hearing this, and then contacted Squadron Leader Gangji, and together they led people to find the corpse of the Japanese soldier, and after confirming that the news was reliable, he took Ruan Xuelin to report to Murakami Takeyoshi.
Murakami Bukitchi immediately led people to cordon off Yuanfu Village, preparing to stage a good show of catching turtles in an urn, and in order to ensure the success of the plan, he even set up a few loose posts on the outskirts of the village in order to paralyze the other party.
When he saw a fish, he was about to take the bait, but he was careful not to move. Murakami Wuji asked Ruan Xuelin to come forward to find out the truth and strive to introduce all this "bandits" into the encirclement. Ruan Xuelin was a little scared, and Murakami encouraged: "Ruan Sang, as long as this plan is successful, your credit will be great, and Yuanfu Village will be handed over to the Ruan family to manage at that time, not to mention that woman." ”
As soon as Ruan Xuelin thought that Ouyang Xueyue was going to belong to him, he suddenly came with confidence and shouted loudly.
Lin Junxiong really didn't find anything, and was about to move forward, when Ruan Xuelin came over and said timidly: "You are those heroes?" ”
Lin Junxiong looked at Ruan Xuelin, and saw that this person was in his twenties, and his hands were clenched tightly at the moment, as if he was very scared, so he said: "Oh, you recognized the wrong person, we don't know each other, and we are not the hero you said." ”
Ruan Xuelin knew that he had not admitted his mistake, so he said tremblingly: "I am Ruan Xuelin, the son-in-law of the village chief Ouyang Xialei, Uncle Boyun, they are preparing to welcome you, and my father-in-law saw that I was usually timid, so he sent me to meet you alone, meet the heroes, and have a long experience." ”
Lin Junxiong did look a little timid when he looked at him, and when he saw that several of them were also very nervous, he said: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Xuelin, we were about to visit your father-in-law, but, what is the matter with the Japanese guards at the entrance of this village?" ”
Although Ruan Xuelin was nervous, his mind was lively, knowing that this person must have known something from other places, it was not perfunctory, so he simply half-truthed, so he explained: "Yesterday, a brigade of the Japanese army was stationed in the village, and I heard that it was to investigate the reason why a small team of them disappeared near Yuanfu Village, mainly to the front of Mingyue Village to suppress bandits, no, it was to Mingyue Village to catch the heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance, don't be strange heroes, I am stupid." Early in the morning, the large army had already driven to Mingyue Village, these two Japanese soldiers should not have had time to withdraw, they were not guards, and now there are no Japanese troops in Yuanfu Village. ”
Lin Junxiong couldn't judge whether Ruan Xuelin's words were true or false for a while, and he didn't speak, but he just looked at the road of Yuanfucun from time to time, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was waiting for something.
Ruan Xuelin suddenly sighed and said: "Hey, in this world, my father-in-law has no choice, there are five or six hundred people in the village, if you don't give in to the Japanese army on the surface, I'm afraid it will cause the disaster of extermination." ”
Lin Junxiong couldn't see that Ruan Xuelin was lying, either this guy was telling the truth, or this guy was too well disguised to tell the truth from the fake. Thinking about it, he smiled at Ruan Xuelin and said: "Oh, Brother Xuelin is too worried, we can understand this, but the time we made an appointment to visit is tomorrow, and I came here today because I heard that something happened in your village, so I stopped by to take a look, but I didn't expect Brother Xuelin to guess that we would come in advance." ”
Ruan Xuelin was taken aback, almost forgot about this stubble, and hurriedly explained: "Father-in-law heard the feats of several people, he admired it very much, and said heroic jokes, since the time you set, my father-in-law asked me to wait nearby every day, first, I wanted to see the hero urgently, and second, the Japanese army was coming two days ago, let me remind me, so as not to damage the hero." ”
Lin Junxiong had no way to suspect this guy at first, he said it well, he was nervous earlier, and he seemed to be timid, but after a series of questions, this guy answered beyond doubt, it seemed that he had never seen anything in the world, but he seemed more and more relaxed.
Lin Junxiong's mind flashed back to his question and the other party's answer, he really couldn't find much discomfort, and if he insisted on not entering the village, he seemed to be suspicious, and he wanted to agree to enter the village, but he intuitively felt that something bad was going to happen, and his left and right eyelids jumped violently at the same time.
Ruan Xuelin saw that Lin Junxiong no longer seemed to doubt himself, so he slowly put down his hanging heart, but kept pinching his fingers, suppressing his nervousness with pain, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, before asking: "Hero, is there just a few of you, is there anyone else coming, I asked clearly for a while so that Uncle Boyun can arrange their seats and resting places." ”
"We still have some brothers who will be here in a while, there are altogether" Wu Hansheng saw that Ruan Xuelin was so polite, and Lin Junxiong didn't seem to have any questions, so he stepped forward and answered first.
"There are eleven or twelve people in total, hehe, then it will be troublesome to learn Brother Lin." Lin Junxiong interrupted Wu Hansheng's words and glared at him fiercely. No matter what, he felt that he still had to trust his instincts, have reservations, and have the strength to deal with any emergencies in time, so he asked Shang Tianen to tell Manxiong and Lin Shouli that one of the things was to ask Manxiong to bring a few people over, Lin Shouli kept a distance of 500 meters from behind, provided timely support when there was a crisis in front, and solved it in time when the enemy was found in the back.
A few people were waiting for the wild bear at the entrance of the village for them to come into the village, and at this time, a soldier from the wild bear class ran over and whispered in Lin Junxiong's ear for a while, and Lin Junxiong's face showed joy after hearing it. It turned out that the two brothers Tanaka Shinichi and Tanaka Shinji rushed over, this is really timely rain, Lin Junxiong has no excuse not to enter the village for the time being.
Lin Junxiong grabbed Ruan Xuelin and said apologetically: "Brother Xuelin, I'm really sorry, just now this brother said something urgent, we have to go back to deal with it immediately, and we must come over on time tomorrow." Please tell the village chief, don't blame him. ”
Ruan Xuelin couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, and after talking nonsense for a long time, the other party still didn't enter the village. Fortunately, seeing that the other party didn't seem to have doubts about himself, he said regretfully: "If you can't get together with the hero earlier, your father-in-law will definitely have some regrets, but I definitely don't dare to blame the hero, I will definitely tell my father-in-law that tomorrow Xuelin will come here as soon as possible to greet all the heroes." The hero is busy first, I'll go back and tell my father-in-law about the situation first, and I'll see you tomorrow! ”
Watching Ruan Xuelin walk back to the village slowly, Lin Junxiong also took a few people with the messenger.
