Although Fukudaura does not have a decent town, it does have a wharf that was born out of the Nanban trade. The villagers who make a living from the wharf have also formed a small village. In order to coordinate the trade with the Portuguese, the Omura family also appointed a retainer named Okata to serve as the commissioner here.

When Father Torres went to the Duke of Goa before, it was still a ship sent by the big village and the small party, so as soon as the Ming Dynasty fleet came, he saw it, and hurriedly asked people to ride a horse to the city of Three Cities dozens of miles away to report it.

However, Xiao Fang was not very panicked at the time, because of the Battle of Futian Bay four years ago, he watched the whole process on the mountain behind this pier. To this day, I still remember the scene when the Portuguese defeated the Matsuura family with the strength of their ships and guns.

Since then, he has been madly worshipping the Portuguese, opening his mouth and closing his mouth that the Southern Barbarians are invincible in the world, and we should serve them well, and so on, and actively joined the Cheechtin Church, and also got the Christian name 'John'.

He also used a large jar of sake from his private collection to exchange it for a soft-brimmed sailor's hat from the Portuguese. With a cross around his neck and a sailor's hat on his head all day, he felt like a Southern Barbarian.

When he saw those Ming warships that didn't know whether they were alive or dead, they actually dared to surround Nanban's father, Xiao Fangxian was very contemptuous in his heart - in his opinion, those invincible Nanban Empire giant ships would definitely crush the broken ships of the Ming Dynasty to powder!

So he slept very soundly at night, until in the middle of the night, when he was awakened by the sound of cannons, Xiao Fang quickly put on his sailor hat and ran to the dock to dance and cheer for Nanban's father!

The villagers were also awakened by the sound of the cannon and ran to the pier to check what was going on. But there was a lot of artillery fire on the sea, and I couldn't tell who was who, so I saw Lord Feng dancing there, 'Dry daddy! Dry Daddy! The shouting kept on.

"My lord, who has the upper hand now?" The villagers asked, leaning over.

"Yaga, do you still need to ask? Of course, the warriors favored by the Lord will defeat those evil Nephilim people of the Ming Dynasty! While dancing, he ordered, "Don't dance with me yet!" ”

"Dry daddy! Dry Daddy! The villagers who were very obedient hurriedly followed the rhythm of Xiao Fang, clapping their thighs and dancing together, cheering for the Nanban people in Futian Bay.

"Dry daddy! Dry Daddy! ”

After tirelessly jumping until dawn, everyone was dumbfounded, only to see dozens of Ming Dynasty sailing ships, surrounding the two Western galleons. Several of the galleon's masts were broken, and the rest were bare, with some strips of tattered cloth hanging from them, and they didn't look like they had won a battle.

"My lord, is this a win?" The panting villager asked timidly.

Omura ignored him, just staring blankly at the sea, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Are you blind?" Someone whispered a reply on his behalf: "Don't you see the white flag on the Western sailing ship?" ”

"How so?" The villagers, all of whom were Chezhidan, clutched the cross around their necks and asked, "Will the warriors blessed by the Lord also lose?" ”

"Yaga!" At this time, Xiao Fangxing turned his head, and everyone saw that the sailor's hat on his head was gone, and they didn't know whether he had danced or taken it off himself.

"After all, this is still the territory of the Buddha, God can't control it so far......" Xiao Fang took off the cross on his neck silently and said: "Hurry up and report to the lord, Nanban worships." Hurry up and take your belongings and hide in the mountains. ”

"Where's your lord?" The villagers also took off their crosses one after another, feeling that they had to go to the temple to burn incense.

"I am the Futianpu appointed by the Lord, so naturally I have to stick here." Omura Xiaofang's face was solemn, full of generosity and determination.

~~

In the meantime, Romeo Omura Juntada, the head of the Omura family, was on his way from Tri-City City. Last night, when he received the report that 'the fleet of the Ming Dynasty had invaded Futianpu', he was really happy for the night......

He has similar thoughts to Omura Xiaofang, that is, the Ming Dynasty is really iron. I was worried that they would enter Omurawan, but they ran to Futianura by themselves. There is a way in heaven that he doesn't go, and there is no door to hell to cast, this is good, a dead end, right?

But for the sake of prudence, he prayed all night last night, hoping that he would do his little bit for the warriors of the Lord to achieve a great victory in this battle!

Unlike Omura Kokata, who purely worships the strong, he wants the Portuguese to win, including his belief in Chechetdanism, which is a practical necessity - because Omura is not his father's own son.

Didn't her mother give his father a leek-colored hat!

He is actually the former governor of the Ma family in Shimahara...... Oh no, there is the second son of Haruma Harumu.

At that time, the three families of Nishihizen, Omura, Arima, and Goto formed an alliance. As the leader of the alliance, Arima Harumu, in order to better control the two families, instructed his brother-in-law, Junzen, the head of the Omura family, to pass on his only son Takaaki to the head of the childless Goto family. Then he passed on his second son, Arima Chunzhong, to Chunqian as his adopted son.

Raising heirs to win over and annex surrounding forces was a very common vertical and horizontal strategy of Japan's Warring States. But like Brother Qingchun, who is not pure at all, such a distorted approach to human ethics is a bit excessive.

Later, when the two adopted sons inherited the family business, Goto Takaaki, who was supposed to be the head of the Omura family, has always been angry with Junzhong, the guy who occupies the magpie's nest. Although he himself became the head of the Goto family, if the Omura family was taken back, wouldn't he be the head of the two families?

Therefore, Goto Takaaki has been trying to get rid of Omura Juntada, especially six years ago, Omura Juntada was baptized and became an outlier among the daimyo - Kiritan Daimyo, which made many Omura retainers who believed in Buddhism dissatisfied. At the same time, the voices of the retainers who did not trust Catholicism and believed that this was a heretical theory were also rising, so that Guiming saw an opportunity to take away his inheritance.

He used his position to carry out a large-scale rebellion, and many Omura retainers really changed their banners to the Goto family - this is not just as simple as employees changing jobs. Japan was thoroughly feudal. The retainers also have their own fiefs, and the lords in the fiefs only recognize their own lords, so they don't care who the lord's lord is.

As the saying goes, 'I am a vassal of my vassals.' not my vassal'.

Therefore, as soon as they changed jobs, they took their respective territories and populations with them, and they also belonged to Goto Takaaki. Seeing that the time was ripe, Guiming and the outside world jointly mobilized a large number of rioters to set fire to the streets, burn down churches, and kill believers, destroying Yokoseura, which Omura had worked so hard to build.

In that rebellion, Yokoseura, appointed by Juntada, was also killed, and even he himself fled to Shimabara, while his luxurious residence was ransacked and burned down by mobs.

Later, with the help of the Arima clan, it took Chunzhong three full years to regain sovereignty over the territory of the Omura family.

That's why he was so hesitant about the Portuguese request for the opening of the port of Nagasaki. If it weren't for the pressure from the Ming Dynasty this time, he wouldn't have agreed so happily.

Now that he had made a bet, he certainly hoped that the Portuguese would win a big victory - if they could defeat the Ming fleet that had destroyed the Matsuura and Goto armies and destroyed Egawa Castle, then there would be no more people in Kitakyushu to provoke the prestige of the Nanban.

Then as an ally of Nanban, he naturally doesn't have to worry about his damn cousin. Even the dragon temple family didn't dare to make a mistake to himself anymore. And for the sake of the muskets, armor and gunpowder of the Nanban, the major forces will form a good alliance with the Omura family! Then you don't have to worry about your own safety at all......

If so, as soon as the morning dawned, Omura Juntada immediately gathered a hundred cavalry, waving dozens of flags, and rushed to Futianpu to help his allies. I just don't know that people are fighting in the sea, what does it mean for him to go out of the cavalry? Is it a seahorse?

The road from Sancheng City to Futianpu is very difficult to walk, and it takes most of the day to go around the bay and cross the mountain road.

I was in a hurry and bumped into Xiao Fang's messenger head-on!

"What, is the battle over?" Chunzhong asked happily.

"Yes!" The messenger sweated profusely and said: "The fleet of the Southern Barbarians has surrendered, and the man-eating devil is about to invade Futianpu!" ”

"What?!" Chunzhong's eyes went black and he fell off the horse. Fortunately, Japanese horses are smaller than donkeys, no more than a meter tall, and they have not fallen.

"Lord!" All the retainers hurriedly jumped off their horses, helped Chunzhong up with their hands and feet, and said: "In this case, there is no point in us going to Futianpu, so let's hurry back to Sancheng City." ”

"Yes, if the Ming Dynasty wants to attack the Three Cities City, they must go around to the Xibi Pestle and pass through the needle tail to enter Dacun Bay, and we still have time to arrange our defenses." Everyone hurriedly agreed.

Chun Zhong slowed down for a while, avoiding thinking for a long time, but shook his head categorically and said, "No, let's move on." ”

"Lord!" Everyone was shocked and said, "Although we are all servants of the Lord now, there is no need to be martyred, right?" ”

"Who said they were going to be martyred?" Omura Chunzhong shook his head, and said tragically: "Gentlemen, we are here to survive, and this is the only way to go!" ”

"Why did the lord say this?" The retainers asked puzzled.

"Ryuzoji Takanobu has been coveting the many good harbors of our Omura family for a long time. It's just that they are afraid of the relationship between the Nanban and us, so they don't take direct action, and only support the Goto family and the Saigo family to press us step by step. Omura Junzhong said with a bitter face: "So after the surrender of the Nanban this time, we will either follow in the footsteps of the Yujiu family and be wiped out by the Ming Dynasty fleet; Or be swallowed by that bear in one bite. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and this is really the reason.

"At the moment, we can only try to get the understanding of the Ming Dynasty - our big village family has never produced a Japanese robber!" Omura Juntada said loudly: "Our Otomo family is harmless and peace-loving, why should we have received it from generation to generation? ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to take off his armor, and got on the horse wearing only the single clothes inside, and said the most cowardly words in the toughest tone: "Gentlemen, take out your enlightenment!" Surrender with me! ”
