Chapter 443: Inukai Jiro
Chapter 443 Inukai Jiro
Fairburg put down his binoculars in despair, looking at this group of enemies who were busy preparing for battle in a daze, with a gloomy and miserable face......
Damn stupid pig Vanderland, sure enough, he took the initiative to send him to death with the fleet!
Otherwise, he would not have lost the battle of the Taijiang River so badly, and he would not have easily fallen into the hands of these wicked people, resulting in the end of the road.
Now it's okay, the only two remaining life-saving ships are gone, the mouth of Dayuan Port is sealed to death, and the company's reinforcements are even more cakes in the picture, the noose of fate, and it seems that it has been put on the neck!
What should I do for now? What to do?
"I hope that the adults will make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity......"
At this moment, the words of the messenger suddenly rang in the ears of Felburg again.
What does this mean?
Could it be that these two groups of people are also incompatible, and they don't have the same heart?
It should be, right? Well, quite possibly!
Who doesn't salivate when they see this treasure land?
This Zheng Sen, who has spent so much effort, but only got a small Puluo City, will he sit back and watch others take advantage of the fisherman, and willingly hand over the city of Relan to others?
"Hmm...... Rather than sit back and wait, it is better to attract him to ......"
Thinking of this, Feuerburg's eyes flashed, and his mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
He made up his mind that it was almost dark, so he still sent Basten out of the city secretly and quickly went to Zheng Chenggong to ask for surrender.
The Chinese are accustomed to infighting, and if they succeed, they may be able to profit from the chaos, at least in exchange for a way out......
Fairburg pondered quickly, but his eyes still scanned the movement outside the city.
Suddenly, he was surprised to find that among these people outside the city, there was a team that was clearly different!
Although most of the people in this group were doing hard work, compared with the rest of the people, their clothing was quite exquisite, and in the sound of various passwords, the movements of the group were neat and mechanical, and their gestures looked a little restrained.
This scene made Feuerburg's expression a little strange, and he hurriedly raised the telescope again and looked at it carefully.
Judging from the lens, the military uniforms of this group of people are particularly bright, and the tall military hats are particularly conspicuous, and their appearance is ......
This is not Chinese!
"Hiss......"
Felburg gasped.
Could it be the damn Franco?
Epsom! After the mirror was finished, they ...... Actually took refuge in the Chinese Yankees?
He had heard that the new Governor of the Franc Machine had brought a large number of guards with him last year, and they were all equipped with the latest flintlock pistols!
Flintlock pistol!
This was the latest musket that even he, the governor, had just heard of, and the entire company's army had not yet had time to equip it.
Not only that, but it is said that they also brought a new type of field artillery, which was not only very powerful, with a range far exceeding that of the Chinese imitations, but also very flexible......
Feuerburg stared at the group with intent, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind!
"Basten!"
He hurriedly turned around and beckoned to his servant.
"Yes, sir."
"You get ready, and you'll go out of the city as soon as it's dark,"
Feuerburg commanded in a low voice, "You go to that Zheng Sen and offer my price......"
"Understood, sir,"
Basten paused slightly, then smiled, bowed and said, "The villain must do his best." ”
"Well, let's go down,"
Feuerburg nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, is the Japanese guy named Inukai here?" ”
"I've been waiting outside for a long time, my lord."
"Tell him to come to me at once."
"Yes, sir."
Basten replied and stepped back lightly.
Looking at Basten's back, Feuerburg squinted, and his mood was very complicated.
This faithful servant was brought by him from his hometown, and his grandfather bought Basten's grandfather as a slave and found him a wife to start a family, so that the family was a slave for generations, and it was passed down to Basten for the third generation.
However, due to their similar age, they have played together since childhood, and the relationship between the two is very good, and Basten is very loyal to him, very capable and measured, so that all kinds of affairs are inseparable from him.
"It's a pity ......"
Feuerburg sighed lightly, and said in his heart: If he can escape this time, he will be free......
"Your Excellency."
Just as he was thinking and wandering, the Japanese ronin came.
Felburg turned around and stared at him coldly.
The man in front of him, Inukai Jiro, is the leader of the gang of improvised Japanese ronin.
Unlike the dwarf winter melon Kuroda in Akatsuki Castle, this Inukai Jiro is tall and strong, and he stands out from the crowd of Japanese who are generally black and short.
It is said that this man came from a very prominent family and was a very good descendant of a true high-ranking samurai, so he was extremely prestigious among the ronin......
During the Tokugawa shogunate, the samurai system in Japan was already quite complete, from the high-ranking samurai represented by the shogun and daimyo to the lowest-level ashigaru (i.e., ordinary foot soldiers, author's note), forming the entire ruling class of Japanese society.
Many mid- and high-ranking samurai not only did not have to work at all, but often also had large hereditary fiefdoms, and such samurai, known as daimyos, were the feudal lords of their respective fiefdoms.
However, the standard of living of the samurai varied greatly between the different ranks, and even the daimyo who were also feudal lords and had fiefdoms in Nagasaki were completely different from those in Yamagata.
The middle and lower ranks, who made up the majority of the samurai, often had to barely survive in poverty if they could not follow a rich and powerful lord.
Therefore, in the Edo period, there was a joke that said, "In addition to the quilt and pot, the little samurai's house also has a large stone, because when he feels cold, he can lift the stone to keep warm." ”
If the dependent lord commits a crime and is fired, or if the lord's financial difficulties have to be reduced, some low-ranking samurai can only become ronins, some fight everywhere, and some simply go overseas and become pirates.
In addition, since the daimyo fiefdoms were passed only to the eldest sons, the younger sons not only did not get any property, but were often kicked out of the house, and they also became ronin, causing trouble everywhere.
Although the term "ronin" in modern Japanese refers to students who have not been admitted to a suitable university, at that time, ronin was used exclusively to refer to these down-and-out samurai and was an important unstable factor in Japanese society.
In order to avoid the intensification of domestic contradictions, the Japanese authorities often acquiesced in or instigated the ronins to launch armed aggression against foreign countries, so they were full of ambition and were very aggressive about foreign wars.
The Inukai Jiro in front of him is a down-and-out samurai who was kicked out of his home because he had no inheritance.
However, this was after his father's death, and he had a very prosperous early life, and he received good martial arts training from his teenage years......
Looking at this seemingly respectful Japanese, but in fact with a bad stomach, Feuerburg frowned in disgust.
If it weren't for the current enemy, he would have skinned this person's heart alive.
The reason is very simple, under this person's men, there is a group of insidious killers - ninjas.
It was these despicable ninjas who did an extremely stupid thing in Haojing not long ago, causing him a lot of trouble!
Not only that, but after the accident, this group of people actually took the opportunity to grab the boat and abscond, so that he didn't eat the mutton but got into a commotion.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was these damned Japanese who brought this murder to him in Fairburg!
