Chapter 1429: Natsu
Xu Xiaofeng leaned on the side of the deck ship a little listlessly.
"Captain?" Wang Baogun strode over, "It's Natsu (Fukuoka) in front, let's really not do it this time?" "Since the original imperial court implemented the reform of the three religions, the treasure gun left Shaolin because he was too young, ending the life of a Shaolin lay disciple, and after returning to his hometown, he no longer practiced martial arts all day long, and he was not used to it for a while.
Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child in Shaolin, but he has some skills, and after returning home, he also became the head of the Red Gun Club of the hometown militia, and he stayed at home for a few years, so he signed up for the army as the senior brother Xu Monk in Shaolin said at the beginning.
He is good at martial arts, young, and enthusiastic, but he successfully joined the army, but he only served as a soldier for two years, but when the court disarmed, he and his battalion were all laid off, and he received some severance pay to go home, and he was even more at a loss for a while. The family asked him to ask for his daughter-in-law, but he was a little unwilling to stay in the small village in his hometown in Hebei for the rest of his life, especially after he had been a soldier outside for two years and broadened his horizons and seen the world.
Soon, his old boss Xu Xiaofeng wrote to him saying that there was a good thing and asked him if he would do it. Xu Xiaofeng said a good thing, that is, he plans to buy a boat to run to the sea, his family has also done this business before, he wants to recruit some old brothers to do it together, more reliable and more assured.
Wang Baogun didn't say a word and packed up his baggage and went to his old boss, the original five hundred brothers, came to the younger half, everyone took the severance pay to make a sum of money, paid a down payment to the shipyard, and then borrowed a lot and got three boats.
Although the shipyard owes a lot of money to buy these three boats, and they have to pay back twice a year, which is not a small pressure, but the brothers are back together, and everyone is full of confidence in the future.
Previously, the imperial court allowed merchant ships to apply for plunder permits, and plundered Baekje and Wa Kingdom, Xu Xiaofeng and Wang Baogun and their three ships simply plunged into the plunder, they were all soldiers, acted in an orderly manner, cooperated tacitly, fought bravely, and made a name for themselves at sea.
The Black Flag ship terrified many Wa and Baekje people.
This time, they prepared to go to Natsu, the great port of Tsukushi Island and an important port for the Japanese people to go to Korea or the Central Plains.
However, because this port is large, it is also heavily guarded, but the Black Flag Regiment now has five ships, which has expanded to more than 500 people, and they still want to do a vote, and there is a precedent for Li Shimin's Sun Never Set Regiment to attack Lion City, and they also want to take a risk.
It's just that who would have expected that just after preparing to go to sea, he received an order from the Bohai Fleet on Tamluo Island, and the Wa State had already surrendered to the Great Qin, and the imperial court officially listed the Wa State as the Dongying Dao and a town under the Great Qin Domain.
Xu Xiaofeng said to the treasure spear a little helplessly, "Although we have taken off that red military robe, we still have to listen to the orders of the imperial court, we are the emperor's soldiers, and we cannot disobey the order." ”
"We've been preparing for this operation for months." Bao Lance Dao, who has been out for many years, he is no longer the Shaolin lay disciple he once was, a scar on his left eye, from his forehead through the eyebrow bone, and then through the eyelids, stopping on the cheekbone, this scar Treasure Gun does not remember how many times he was injured.
Nowadays, they actually eat severed heads and tie their heads to their waistbands to beg for a living, and the income is good, but they are also very risky.
It's just that he is already used to this kind of life now, and if he goes to honestly run a boat to do business, he really won't be used to it.
"Even if we have been preparing for a year, we have to obey orders. Although we are flying black flags and plundering the coasts of Baekje and Wa, we are not pirates, we are soldiers! Xu Xiaofeng emphasized again and again.
This is also the belief that the Black Flag Army has always adhered to, they are not pirates, they are soldiers, soldiers who have no military status for the emperor.
I've been preparing for a few months, but now I can't act, and it's false to say that I don't regret it, but I can't help it. Xu Xiaofeng had to take five ships of cargo on this trip in the end, anyway, after this trip, he went to Najin Port to take a look, and there were no regrets.
"Bao Gun, when we come back from Najin, we will also go to Linyi to have a look. Now that the North Sea is fine, let's also go to the South China Sea. If we can also lay down a piece of land, then our brothers will also be rich. ”
On the mast, the guy in charge of lookout climbed down.
"Natsu, just ahead."
After saying that, this guy hurried to relieve himself. The watchmen on the mast are usually newcomers to the ship, as this is a bad job. Stay on the high mast, the wind blows the sun, if the storm is even more unlucky, the key is that it is not easy to go up and down in such a high place, and you have to hold and urine when you go up, so the old sailor will let the novice go up.
The new sailors can't help it, they are most looking forward to a situation above, so that it will not be so boring, the key is to come down and report the situation as soon as it happens, and then take the opportunity to relax and have a good time.
The port of Natsu is just ahead, and the land of the port can already be seen from the mast.
It's just that Wangshan runs dead horses, and this Wanglu is also far away.
Xu Xiaofeng said to Bao Gun, "Go and wake up the brothers, you have arrived at the place, and you are ready to land and dock." ”
"Will we have trouble entering the port?" The spear pointed to the black flag on the mast.
"Just put away the black flag, we are now Daqin maritime merchants, just come and sell a batch of tea paper porcelain."
Natsu Port.
The large port of Tsukushi Province is also the location of Tsukushi Province.
The local officials of Tsukushi Province are appointed by the emperor, and the people who serve are generally local powers. Today's Tsukushi National Zo is Tsukushi Murakami.
I heard that a ship from the Great Qin Sea was coming, and "sent a ship to meet the incoming port." ”
If it had been earlier, when he heard that the Qin ship had arrived, Murakami would have been very worried, but now although the emperor who went to the Central Plains to ask for peace has not returned, the minister Suga Mako has returned, and he has also brought back the forgiveness and canonization of the imperial court.
Su I Ma Zi Hui Wei landed in Najin, and at that time, the Qin and Bohai fleets also arrived, and they brought many rewards and goods with the ship, which made Najin lively for a long time.
Tsukushi Murakami naturally also took the opportunity to make a lot of money, since then, there have been Qin ships coming over, full of boatloads of Daqin commercial goods, as Tsukushi Murakami made in the country, near the water building first month, every time priority to buy a lot of in-demand commercial goods, you can make a lot of money by changing hands.
Therefore, now the Japanese people have changed from fear to welcome the maritime merchants of the Qin State in the past.
The Japanese ships came out of the port to greet them and navigated into the port.
Five treasure ships slowly sailed into Natsu Port.
On the deck, a ship-mounted Tsukushi Japanese was introducing Tsukushi to Xu Xiaofeng and Wang Baogun.
"Legend has it that after father God Izanagi and sister Izanami gave birth to the hidden trick no Mikojima, they then gave birth to Tsukushi Island. This island has a carcass and four faces, which are Shirabibe, Fengribei and Jianri Hidai Nibi, and Jianribetsu and Jianribetsu. ”
After hearing this, Treasure Lance couldn't help but wonder, "Why did Izanagi marry his sister, and why did he give birth to four islands?" Shouldn't it be to give birth to children and daughters, why did you give birth to four islands? ”
The Japanese people had been to the Central Plains to study, and the Chinese language was quite good, and I didn't know how to explain it at the moment, anyway, this is the mythical story of their Japanese country, and it is also the origin of their Japanese country.
Anyway, according to this mythical story of the Wa Kingdom, it is said that the origin of the four islands was born. And the Tsukushi Island born by God the Father, one carcass on all sides, these four sides are the four countries on Tsukushi Island, the day is the Tsukushi country, the Fengri is the Toyo country, the building of the day is also called the fat country, or the fire country, and the building of the day is the Kumazen country.
