Chapter 1428: Thorn Ming

"I am a soldier, from the common people, bathing in the emperor's grace and heavy ......" When the peach blossom army song was loud, in the far east, on the other side of the sea, the Matsuura family, the daimyo of Hirado, the former country of Wakoku, was lit up, and the family school built twenty rings, and on each ring there were two short, ** foot samurai fighting with Japanese swords, and the red blood on the ring was gurgling under the ring.......

A viewing platform was also set up in the school field, and the governor of the Matsuura family knelt on the second seat, and diligently poured tea and wine to greet a young man with a cunning face and a fat body like a bear. The young man was only in his twenties, but he knelt down calmly in the first place in the chassis of the Matsuura family and enjoyed the hospitality of the Matsuura family governor. This is a manifestation of his strength. This young man is the guardian of the Hizen Province today, Ryuzoji Takanobu.

Ryuzoji Takanobu young name long master pill, nicknamed Hizen bear. He is the son of the Zhou family of the Shuijiang branch of the Longzao Temple family, at the age of nineteen, the heir of the Longzao Temple family, the Longzao Temple Yinxin married Yinrong and inherited the Longzao Temple family. He inherited the family as a son-in-law, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of many retainers of the family, but with the support of Yoshitaka Ouchi, the most powerful daimyo in the western kingdom of the Japanese kingdom, Takanobu of Ryuzoji Temple successfully suppressed the opposition of his retainers and became the governor of Ryuzoji Temple.

The year before last, Yoshitaka Ouchi, who supported Ryuzoji Takanobu, was killed by his retainer Tao Qingxian, and Tsuchihashi Eiyi, a retainer of Ryuzoji Temple, seized this opportunity to unite everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, raided and besieged Ryuzoji Takanobu, and supported Ryuzoji Temple.

Forced to flee to Chikugo Province, Takanobu was supported by Kamaike Kanmori, and successfully returned to Hizen with troops, defeated the rebellious retainer Tsuchihashi Eiji and other coalition forces, exiled the Ryuzoji Supervisor, and established absolute control over the Ryuzoji family.

Under the efforts and promotion of Ryuzoji Takanobu, the Ryuzoji family, which was originally inconspicuous in the land of Kyushu in the Wakoku Province and was weak due to family divisions, flourished and grew wildly, and became a daimyo enough to compete with Bungo Otomo and Satsuma Shimazu. In the land of Hizen Province, the Ryuzoji family is the uncrowned king!

The Ryuzoji family is the uncrowned king of Hizen Province, and the Matsuura family is just a wealthy family in the southern and northern Matsuura counties of Hizen Province, and it cannot be compared with the Ryuzoji family. In addition, Matsuura's location is very advantageous, and it is located near the sea and has Hirado, a famous trading port in the Japanese country, so it is very economically strong. Because of this, the Matsuura family has always been coveted by powerful daimyo such as the nearby Arima family and the Omura family. In order to protect themselves, the Matsuura family decisively surrendered to the guardian of Hizen Province, the Ryuzoji family, in order to gain protection.

Ryuzoji Takanobu is the founder of the rise of the Ryuzoji family, and has the title of the bear of Hizen, and its ability is majestic, and it is naturally extraordinary.

Therefore, the governor of the Matsuura family sat down at the second seat and was hospitable.

Ryuzoji Takanobu arrived at Matsuura's house yesterday at the invitation of the Governor of Matsuura, and in order to entertain Ryuzura Temple Takanobu well, last night the Governor of Matsuura even sent his concubines who enjoyed the reputation of Hizen Country to the Ryuzoji Takanobu dormitory to serve. In the morning, the governor of Matsuura heard that the concubine said that after the rain of Longzoji Temple Takanobu last night, he was overjoyed, and rewarded the concubine with a hundred taels of gold, so that she could rest for a good life, and make persistent efforts tonight to serve Longzoji Takanobu well.

"Yoshi, Matsuura-sama, this samurai in the ring on the right is very skilled, and there is no enemy under his sword."

Ryuzoji Takanobu drank a glass of wine, reached out and nodded at a samurai in the ring on his right, and said to the Matsuura family governor.

At this time, the samurai in the ring had already put away his sword, and the opponent was already lying in the ring, which was already the second opponent in the ring today.

"Your Highness, he is my nephew, named Matsuura Sanbanro, and he is the sharpest knife in my Matsuura family. The knife in his hand is the ancestral blade of my Matsuura family, named Matsuura Ghost Jiao Cut, which was passed down by word of mouth in the era of my Matsuura family, and my ancestor Matsuura Maru once used this blade to kill a ghost Jiao in the sea, hence the name. The governor of the Matsuura family diligently poured wine for Takashin of Ryuzoji Temple and explained in detail.

"Matsuura Onijiao cut ......" Ryuzoji Takanobu read lightly, and seemed to be a little interested.

"There is a famous saying in the Ming Dynasty: The sword is matched with the hero. Matsuura Sanbanro is not worthy of Matsuura Ghost Jiao Cut, and there is no one in my Matsuura family who can match Matsuura Ghost Jiao Cut, Matsuura Ghost Jiao Cut can only show his majesty in the hands of His Royal Highness, and please don't dislike Your Highness. ”

The governor of Matsuura saw that Takanshin of Ryuzoji Temple was interested in Matsuura Onijiao, so he bowed down and offered his sword diligently.

"Hehe, thank you Lord Matsuura for your kindness, but this is the ancestral blade of Lord Matsuura, how can my father win people's love."

Ryuzoji Takanobu smiled.

"Your Highness, the Songpu Ghost Jiao Che shows his majesty in the hands of His Royal Highness, and spreads his name in the world, this is the greatest honor of my Songpu family, and the ancestors of my Songpu family can also smile and rejoice under the nine springs."

Matsuura insisted.

"Hehe, thank you Matsuura-sama for your kindness, it's just that my father already has the ancestral blade of my Ryuzoji family in his hands." Ryuzoji Takanobu smiled.

"Alas......" Governor Matsuura regretted when he heard this.

"Lord Matsuura, don't regret it, your nephew Matsuura Sanbanlang is very good, and my father loves him very much. After returning from this trip to the Ming Dynasty, he can be ordered to go to the Longzao Temple, follow the left and right of the father, and help the prince to unify the fat front and Buwu world, so that the Songpu ghost Jiao cut in his hands can also be famous all over the world......"

Ryuzoji Takashi held the wine glass in his hand, looked at the Matsuura family governor with a pair of snake eyes, and said slowly.

In the eyes of Ryuzoji Takanobu, the governor of the Matsuura family was overjoyed, and bowed down to thank him, "I thank Your Highness for Sanbanlang!" ”

Seeing this, Ryuzoji Takanobu narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and helped up the Matsuura family governor, "Matsuura-sama is very polite." ”

"Lord Qi, the 'Thorn Ming' ring has all ended, a total of 560 samurai participated, 120 people were killed and 180 wounded in the ring, and finally a hundred samurai stood to the end."

At this moment, a samurai of the Matsuura family knelt down in front of the viewing platform and said to the governor of the Matsuura family.

In the ring match of 560 people, 120 people died, and 180 people in the house, such a casualty ratio shows the cruelty of this ring match, and the 100 samurai who won in the end must be ruthless characters with good skills.

"Your Highness, look ......" Governor Matsuura looked at Ryuzoji Takanobu.

"Lord Matsuura, it's better to call him closer, so that my father can take a good look at these 100 winning tigers."

Ryuzoji Takanobu said with a smile.

"Good! Quickly summon Sanbanlang and others to come forward, and ask His Highness to review the lecture. Governor Matsuura nodded yes, then turned to his retainers and ordered.

"Yes!"

The samurai, a retainer of the Matsuura family, took the order and left.

Soon, Matsuura Sanbanro and a hundred other victorious samurai swords came to the viewing platform, knelt respectfully on the ground, and kowtowed to Ryuzoji Takanobu and Matsuura Governor on the viewing platform.
