Chapter 166: Owari Fool
The Nanbarians had always been active in Kyushu and roamed the edge of Japan, so the countries did not feel much threatened. But this time, the Nanban actually broke into Ise and even kidnapped a castle lord, which was something that had never happened before! So it caused a lot of buzz!
Among them, there are active rescuers, such as Oda Nobuhide, the father of Master Yoshi, and there are also those who do not know what they are planning for secret operations, such as Saito Michizo, who has just fought with Oda Nobuhide and is known as the "Mino Pit Viper", and even more like Hosokawa Harumoto, who also released some information in support of the rescue to show their attitude - these daimyo may not all have a 'friendship' with Oda Nobuhide, but they were bullied by the Southern Barbarians, at least in terms of posture.
Although the atmosphere in Jiezhen is relatively open, there are also rumors in this situation, and it seems that some forces have become extremely wary of outsiders. Hosokawa Harumoto's invitation to Higashimon Kei to Kyoto has also been postponed, and Yu Buqi and others can't guess whether the two things are related. The situation is like this, Imai Munehisa is also a little shaken by the three joint names, but the East 'Gate' Qing is determined, and said: "If you don't bring it up, forget it, since you bring it up, I won't allow it to give up halfway!" If there are any difficulties, they will be resolved one by one! ”
A few days later, more definite news came from Ise, and Imai Munehisa and Senmunei were taken aback when they heard about it, and hurriedly came to find the East 'Gate' Kei, and said, "East 'Gate' Jun! You have to be careful! Recently, there was a rumor that the sailing ship that kidnapped the lord of the Oda family in Owari Province was flying the double carp flag! ”
Dongmen' Qing was moved when he heard this, so Tang Xiuji looked at each other, and said in his heart: "It shouldn't be so coincidental, it's Andrew's guy, right?" "The East 'Gate' Qing has also thought of it, and said: "Speaking of which......" Yu Buqi and Tang Xiuji even made their eyes 'color', asking the East 'Gate' Qing to stop, and the East 'Gate' Qing paused.
Seeing this, Imai Sohisa saw that he was careful, and when he saw this, he asked, "East 'Gate', do you know anything?" It's big or small! If you know something, I want to let it know. ”
Dongmen' Qing hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Speaking of which, maybe it's not a rumor. When I set out from Hirado, I did send another group of men from the south, but the destination was also the Kai, so could it be that they 'lost' their way and ran to Owari Province? ”
Qianzong Yi said: "No. Now the daimyo of Japan are looking forward to making friends with the East Gate. If it is the ship of the king of the East Gate, it is too late for them to rejoice, how can there be a conflict and even a captivity? Besides, the one who invaded Owari heard that it was a sailing ship of the Nanban! ”
Dongmen' Qingdao: "This subordinate of mine is a Nanban. ”
Imai Munehisa and Qianzongyi also heard that there were all the people under the East 'Gate' Qing, and it was said that there were Nanban soldiers in the army before the 'fat' war, and the two discussed it, and they both felt that this matter was leaked out, which was not beneficial to the three families, so they persuaded: "East 'Gate' Jun, this matter is not trivial, except for us, don't mention it to others again." So as not to get into trouble! ”
"If the person who broke into Owari is really Andrew, then I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in the middle." ”
After that, the rumors became more and more wrong, and some people from Owari Province who had seen the "Nanban Sailing Ship" ran to the boundary, pointed to the ship parked in the harbor at the East Gate, and shouted, "That's right! That's right! It's those two-headed fish flags! We won't be mistaken! ”
But soon, someone from the Imai family came out to refute the rumors, saying, "It was the Nanban who kidnapped the lord of the Oda family, and the lord of the East 'Gate' was a Chinese clan, how could they be involved?" I think it's either that the flags are similar, or that Nanban faked the banner of Qinghuaxiang! ”
The two opinions are at odds, because of the protection of the Buddha's 'gate' and the business community, the east 'gate' Qing has not been disturbed by the 'commotion' for a while, so he persuaded him to go back to the flat first when things can be cleaned up, but the east 'gate' Qing refused, saying: "The money we have raised now is only less than 30% of the expected amount, how can we go back like this!" ”
Yu Buzhi said: "The rest of the things can be done by the Imai family and the thousand families." They promised us. ”
Dong 'Gate' Qing sneered: "Promise? If we leave like this, the three joint numbers will not be able to do it! If the three joint numbers can't do it, it's hard to say whether they will continue to help us! ”
Therefore, resolutely do not leave. That night, two groups of guests suddenly came in a row, both of them were Imai Munehisa and Qianzong Yi, and the identities of the two groups were quite mysterious, and even asked the East 'Gate' to not let any subordinates be present, so even Yu Bu Tang Xiuji was blocked out of the 'door'. It was only when the two groups of people left that Yu and Tang came to ask what happened to the East 'Gate' Qing, and the East 'Gate' Qing did not hide it, and said bluntly: "It's the people of the Oda family and the Saito family." ”
Yu Buxi asked them what they were doing, and the east 'gate' Qing said: "Oda Nobuhide heard that I have a good way at sea, so he politely invited a big merchant to entrust me, hoping that I can help him find his son." The Saito family is helping the Oda family and asking us to help Oda Nobuhide. ”
Tang Xiuyoshi said: "I heard that the Saito family and the Oda family only had a fierce battle last year, how did the front foot come in with the back foot this time, and the Saito family actually said good things for the Oda family!" ”
Higashi'mon Keidao: "I don't know much about things in. I heard Imai say that Michizo Saito and Nobuhide Oda were reconciled and fought, beaten and reconciled, and repeated several times! Or this time Saito Michizo wanted to reconcile again, so he took the opportunity to show Oda Nobuhide good. ”
Yu Buji asked: "Did you agree to him?" ”
Dongmen' Qing said: "I have promised them to do their best. I heard that Master Ji was only eleven or twelve years old, and trying to rescue a small child was a righteous act, so why not do it. ”
When the sky was not clear, another group of guests came, but this time it was from the Hosokawa family, and the intention of the visit was also related to the capture of Master Yoshi. Hosokawa Harumoto's attitude was to hope that Higashimon Keino would use his power at sea to make the matter better, and at the same time pay attention to protecting Japan's face. The East Gate Kei also promised to do his best.
Two days later, there was a sudden sensation in Jiegang, and the east 'gate' celebration was woken up early in the morning, and Tang Xiuji ran in and shouted: "Chief Owner! Oh no! Sure enough, it was Andrew who broke into Owari! ”
Dong 'Gate' Qing asked, "How do you know?" ”
Next to him, Yu Buzhi said: "Of course I know!" The ship sailed to the harbor today and was recognized! ”
The two forced the East 'Gate' Qing to rush to the wharf, the atmosphere inside and outside the port was quite tense, the forces of the Jie Town did not allow ships to enter the port, and asked them to 'hand' the hostages first. Speaking of which, it was a little stiff later, and the ships in the port were all on alert, but they were afraid that the other party was a Nanban, so they didn't dare to do it for a while.
When Dongmenqing arrived at the dock, seven or eight leaders of the chamber of commerce and sailors surrounded him, pointing to the double-headed carp flag fluttering in the distance and asking him what was going on! Even the agents of the Hosokawa family, the Oda family, and the Saito family in Kaizhen also 'revealed' their suspicious looks. Seeing the tense atmosphere around him, the East Gate Qing pretended to be leisurely and said, "It's a big fart!" Why all the fuss! Then he called Tang Xiuji and said, "You go up and take a look!" See if Andrew is still in charge of the sailboat, and if so, tie him up to me!" ”
Tang Xiuji received the order, and in full view of everyone, he drove a small boat out of the port, and all the forces on the dock were watching to see if Dongmenqing had anything to do with this matter. Tang Xiuji got on the boat after leaving the port, and after a short time, he saw the boat come back, but this time there were two more people, one was the second husband, and the other was a Nanban who was tied to the deck and couldn't move!
The merchants and sailors on both sides of the wharf saw it and cheered. Imai Munehisa and Qianzong Yi saw that the words of the East 'Gate' Qing tied up the southern barbarians ashore, and they were relieved and re-evaluated the power of the East 'Gate' Qing, thinking that he really had great powers.
Tang Xiuji tied Andrew ashore and fell at the foot of the East Gate. In front of the leaders of the various factions, Dongmen' Qing asked, "Andrew! I asked you to come to Kai Town, why did you run to Ise! ”
Andrew complained bitterly: "Chief Shipper, it's not that I want to go to Ise there!" It's us who 'lost' our way! ”
What he said was a Francophone with Mandarin, and no one else could understand it, so Tang Xiuji was on the side to translate.
Dongmen' Qingdao: "You are 'lost', I understand, but why did you kidnap Japanese children?" ”
Andreucci said: "Kidnapping Japanese children? We don't. ”
Higashi'mon Keidao: "You didn't kidnap a child named Yoshihoshi in Owari? ”
Andrew couldn't remember the name of the Japanese, and shook his head a little 'confused' and 'confused', and the second husband suddenly said: "Master Jifa! That's right! It's the kid who lied to us! Andrew then sighed and said, "It's him!" ”
Dongmenqing was stunned and said, "Deceived you? ”
"yes." The second husband said: "Our ship docked on the Ise side, and I wanted to ask people about the road, but who knew that they were scared away when they saw Andrew's appearance!" Only one of these children did not run away, but came to talk to us and lied to us that he knew the way to the realm, so we let him on board. In the end, he was 'chaotic', causing us to go around in a big circle, otherwise how could we wait until now to find this place? ”
Dongmen' Qingqi said: "You said that the child was on the boat by himself? Didn't you kidnap him? ”
"yes." The second husband said: "After he got on the boat, he looked east and west, jumping and jumping, and he was so happy!" The owner repeatedly told us not to offend the locals before we set off, so we didn't do anything with him. But this kid always has to do some 'messy' things every day, which doesn't make people cry or laugh. We're just waiting to find the realm so we can get him away!" ”
He spoke Japanese, and he didn't need Tang Xiuji to translate, so all the Japanese understood it, but they all expressed their disbelief, and the second husband said: "That kid is on the boat now, if you don't believe it, just ask him to go by himself!" ”
Higashimenkei said to the Japanese: "This ship is indeed mine. Everyone heard what the second husband said just now, so it's better to let the boat dock first, and when you see Master Jifa, everyone will ask clearly, how about it? So he ordered the second husband to give an order and sail into the port. After the sailboat docked, a teenager walked on the deck, dressed in a costume that seemed very strange to the Japanese, with a bamboo strip in his mouth.
Someone from the Oda family had already rushed up to pick him up, but the young man ignored them, walked straight to the east 'gate' Qing, circled around him, and asked, "Are you that very powerful two-headed koi?" I thought you had two heads! ”
Yu Buci, Tang Xiuji and others all shouted: "Rude! ”
Higashi'mon Kei only smiled and asked, "Are you the fool of Owari who is very nonsense?" How did you recognize me? Someone told you? ”
The young man pointed to the people around the East Gate and said, "I just heard on the boat that the two-headed koi is on the pier. These people are either as dull as a turtle or as weak as a sheep, and you are different from others. So the double-headed koi must be you! ”
Dongmen' Qing glanced at him twice, and suddenly said, "I see, hehe!" I think those who call you a fool are the real fools! ”
