136. Blame Soochow

It takes less than a day to reach Kumano from where we are. During this day, we completed the camouflage of the ship, including the camouflage of our individuals. Judging from the appearance alone, we have completely lost the slightest shadow of the blade sea, and have become another strange fleet.

Before nightfall, we had reached a position fifty nautical miles south of the Kumano naval stronghold, and we were quietly hidden in the night, because I felt that there were still some preparations to be made.

Having said that, this disguise alone is not enough, because the target of our trip is only the Kumano Naval Army, and we will definitely guess the clues after a long time, so we have to think of an excuse. After all, even if the wolf wants to eat the lamb, doesn't it make an excuse for a long time?

So before I set off, I had already asked Mo to arrange people to infiltrate the Kumano Navy and investigate their big moves in the recent period, or in the past six months. I don't know if I don't check this matter, and I am shocked when I check it, in the past six months, there have been 65 well-documented piracy acts alone! Not to mention the "private work" that the pirates do individually!

Looking through the records, there are 33 cases in which the names and surnames of the victims can be checked, covering all kinds of civilian and commercial vessels or fleets in neighboring countries. Among them, there were only seven merchant ships in the Ming Dynasty, and the plundered ships were generally difficult to keep!

Looking at the thick victim information in my hand, my heart really couldn't calm down for a long time, I am not a savior, and everything I do can't bring the dead back to life, but I can get justice.

In my way.

Flipping through it, I came across a name that interested me – the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce. Last month, the Kumano Navy raided a merchant fleet of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce near Naha. This fleet was loaded with spices from Southeast Asia and was ready to be sold to Dongyeong and Goryeong.

As a result, after the fleet was replenished from Naha, the five ships began to head towards Osaka, but not long after they went to sea, they were ambushed by the Kumano naval army at the island chain north of Naha! Five ships, one sunk, two captured, the flagship and the second ship took advantage of the whirlpool at sea to evade and escaped!

Kuhn Chamber of Commerce? I turned my head to look at Chen Kui and asked, "Do you know this chamber of commerce?"

Chen Kui squinted his eyes and smiled: "Boss, I've been in Nanyang for so long, so I naturally understand!" The Kuhn Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers in the South Seas, founded by the Portuguese Mars Kuhn and based in Jakarta. Their influence spread across the southern part of the South Seas, in opposition to the Memphis Chamber of Commerce in the north. ”

I nodded, it seems that this guy is not small! Then he asked: "This Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, how is the overall wind evaluation?"

Chen Kui shook his head and said, "The Black-Hearted Chamber of Commerce started by eating human blood steamed buns. On the surface, he is doing business normally, but in private, he is burning, killing, robbing, cheating, and doing all kinds of evil! This time they were robbed by the Kumano Water Army, which can be regarded as dog bite dog bones! ”

I nodded and smiled, "Since Lao Chen said so, presumably their Kuhn Chamber of Commerce itself is not a good character. In that case, if I blame them, I will not care about my conscience! ”

After saying that, the people in the cabin laughed together!

I arranged for Chen Kui to prepare to leave, and took the No. 3 ship to Kumano's stronghold at night, and shot the letter I had written to the shore with a bow and arrow.

The letter, written in five copies, was written to the effect that as the spokesperson of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, he condemned the piracy of the Kumano Naval Army, demanded that the murderers be punished, that damages be compensated, and that the corresponding personnel and compensation be sent to a small island and reef in the southern part of Kumano Beach before sunset tomorrow.

The letter is written with great arrogance, and to put it bluntly, it is not so much a letter of claim as a letter of challenge! With the temperament of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, it is very possible to personally lead the team out to get people.

But for me, this is a matter that doesn't matter at all, because I didn't plan to be nice to them, so I wasn't afraid of big things, so I sent Chen Kui to go.

Chen Kui's mission was completed smoothly, and these pirates, especially the pirates who were used to running amok, would notice a small boat approaching at night. They rushed to "deliver" the letter, and they rushed back, and it was still dark!

The next morning, a sailor named Yuyoshi went to the shoreline to collect his nets, which he had laid down on the shore last night, and had collected them this morning. When I was five meters away from the crab net, I suddenly found an arrow stuck in the ground! There's something tied to the tail of the arrow!

He immediately ran over, after all, the life of a sailor is too boring, there are too few new things, it is rare to have such an interesting thing, naturally to see.

Yuyoshi untied the end of the arrow, and it turned out to be a letter written on a cloth, in the Toei script. As a literate and literate person, Yongji Douda knows several characters, and even recognizes his own name, but the words on the letters...... Since it's thrown here, it must not be an important thing!

So Yong Ji took the letter in his hand at will, and when he was about to go back, he handed it to the leader of his superiors, and if it was something useful, maybe he could exchange it for some reward!

When he returned to the village, he handed the letter to the little leader of the sailors. At this moment, he went to a private school when he was young, and he read books for two years, and he recognized some of the words on the cloth, but he couldn't recognize them all, but he knew that there were no good words written on the letter, so he hurriedly took the letter to the big tent, found the nine ghosts Jialong, and handed the letter to the master's house.

Nine Ghost Jialong was talking to several major henchmen about the income and expenditure of the head group of the army, and when he received this letter, he was very surprised, picked it up and looked at it, he laughed unconsciously, and handed the letter to everyone to read, but he looked back at the brake and asked, "Where did this letter come from?" ”

Naturally, he confessed that his men had picked it up on the shore of Kumano Sea, and it was said that he had been tied with an arrow and shot onto the beach.

Nine Ghost Jialong's face couldn't help but change slightly, bow and arrow? That means that the messenger has come closer, could it be that there is really a fleet ambush at the location they are talking about?

Thinking of this, the tactical and cautious Nine Ghost Yoshitaka asked him to bring a chart, and pointed to the position on the letter, it was a dangerous shoal in the south of Kumano Sea, with many reefs and whirlpools, and it was a terrible place for people to avoid when they went to sea. Why did the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce guys choose to be here?

Nine Ghost Jialong was a little stunned, thought for a while, and asked, "Who made this order from the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce at that time?" ”

One of his men with a long scar on his face raised his hand and shouted with a laugh: "Big boss! I made that order! In the vicinity of Naha! It's all spices, and the income is very rich! We all sold their boats with a makeover! Have you forgotten the big boss? ”

The Nine Demons nodded and looked at the sailor head group named Takeshi Watanabe, and resounded about that lucrative action, and he also got a pure gold scimitar.

Now that the bitter master has been found, the Nine Ghosts Jialong is not afraid, but a little angry - he has explained many times that he must be clean in his hands and feet, or he will not do it, or he will not leave a living mouth if he does it, why did he let the two boats run away? How can you pour sewage on me like this with your reputation that you have worked so hard to whitewash? Do you want me to carry the title of "Pirate Daimyo" for the rest of my life?

Thinking of this, Nine Ghost Jialong said lukewarmly: "Now that the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce has come to the door, we can't just give in. Watanabe Head Group, since you did this order before, then it's up to you to finish it! ”

Takeshi Watanabe immediately responded to the statement with a smile, but saw that the Nine Ghosts Jialong said with a strange smile on his face: "I hope this time, you can do it more beautifully." ”

Takeshi Watanabe suddenly felt a chill run through the back of his neck, and he heard the threat in the tone of the Nine Ghosts Kataka. If this time, I still do it so uncleanly, I'm afraid that I will ...... Forget it, don't think so much, take all your men to that place!

Thinking of this, Takeshi Watanabe couldn't help but feel a little secretly hateful, damn Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, I didn't kill you last time I let you go two boats, you don't know how to be grateful, and you dare to come back to collect debts? I'll let you collect your debts! You wait for me!

Thinking of this, Takeshi Watanabe took the eleven boats under his command, packed up his equipment, and prepared to go to sea to find those Kuhn Chamber of Commerce who "didn't know how to lift" to settle accounts!

The Nine Ghosts looked at the fleet, although there were a lot of these eleven ships, they were all small morning boats, closed ships and armed houses. The flagship is an armed house ship, and its performance is acceptable, but I don't know the performance of the boats of the guys from the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce...... Let's just test the firepower!

In the eyes of the Nine Ghosts, Takeshi Watanabe's fleet was like a piece of discarded rags, a target thrown out to attract firepower and test the depth of the water, as for his life and death...... What is there to pay attention to a fool who can't even do a caravan robbery?

But then again, forgive him, what good ship can the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce drive? Last time, as the main fleet of their chamber of commerce, it was just a few three-masted galleons and armed three-masted galleons, and the flagship was just a Flemish paddle ship, a chamber of commerce with a silver-like pewter spear head. Didn't you work last time, but this time you came to collect debts?

After thinking about it, I decided to wait and see.

The time agreed by the other party is before sunset, which is also in line with the cleanup. I guess before sunset, Takeshi Watanabe and the others will be able to get to that water! Nine Ghost Jialong looked up at the sun, the sun was about to sink in the west, and the two sides should have already begun to exchange fire! I hope that Takeshi Watanabe, an idiot, can tighten his mouth this time and not let go of Temo again.

Look at the sun has disappeared at sea level and the moon is beginning to rise in the east. Nine Ghost Jialong couldn't tell what kind of mood he was, but he always felt a little unsteady, as if there was an indescribable and inexplicable weirdness enveloping his heart.

After thinking about it, he always had some points to understand. Until he was drinking, a sailor leader said with a smile: "After so many years, someone dares to come to Kumano Sailor to seek revenge?" It's so lively! ”

This sentence woke up the Nine Ghosts Jialong at once! Yes, after so many years, there are thousands of "businesses" that Kumano Naval Forces have done? But who has come to us for revenge? Those who came were all enemies, all those who brought were wars, and it was the first time that they came to ask for compensation. So, what do they rely on? Why do they dare to touch their tiger butts? What's more, it's still to your own land!

The more I thought about it, the more incomprehensible I felt, and the Nine Ghosts shook his head vigorously, wanting to get this annoying thought out of his mind, and wait for Takeshi Watanabe to come back! Let's see what news he can bring back.

In this way, the nine ghosts Jialong went to sleep. When they came together the next morning, he arranged for his subordinates to say that as long as Watanabe Takeichi came back, he would let him come to him as soon as possible.

His subordinates promised very neatly, but they did not bring him Takeshi Watanabe's people and news for a long time. The sun rose in the east, to the middle of the day, to the west, to disappear, and a day passed, and there was still no news of Takeshi Watanabe.

By the time the afternoon came, the Nine Ghosts were already a little anxious, and he personally went to the coastline to see it twice, and he was secretly angry in his heart, damn Takeshi Watanabe! Damn idiot! Can't figure it out against a chamber of commerce? Even if you can't beat it, can't you still run away? Where's your ship? Won't they split up? Or, Takeshi Watanabe gained a lot, where did he go to sell the stolen goods?

In the midst of such nonsense, a whole day passed, and the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka was very unhappy and arranged again that as long as Takeshi Watanabe or anyone from his fleet came back, they would immediately come to him, and they would see people alive and corpses when they died! Then he slept angrily.

But on the second day, the sea was still empty, and the Nine Ghosts Jialong realized that something was wrong, could it be ...... Takeshi Watanabe's fleet was completely wiped out? Didn't come back from a boat? That's eleven boats! Even if it is placed in Jeon Dongying, it is not a daimyo who says that he can eat it casually. But just one Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, how can they leave no armor and no one back?

Thinking of this, Nine Ghost Jialong decided to take a trip himself! I want to take the main force of the Kumano Water Army and go to meet this bold Kuhn Chamber of Commerce for a while!

How unforgivable! I'm going to crush you to ashes! Nine Ghosts Jialong thought so, and immediately, he issued a mobilization order and summoned eighty percent of the ships, which was mighty! Kill and run to the sea where you might encounter enemies!
