Volume 5 Chapter 26 The Matsuura clan is instigated
What Zhang Bin was worried about didn't happen, and at this time, the people of Dongying were not so crazy.
At this time, Toei was still in the early days of the Edo shogunate, and bushido had not yet formed a formal school.
At this time, Yamaga Soyuki, the founder of Confucianism and bushido, had just been born, and books such as the "Records of the Samurai Family" had not yet begun to be compiled.
At this time, Yamamoto Tsuneto, the creator of Hagakure Bushido, had not yet been born, and there was no trace of "Hagakure", which had a profound impact on later generations.
At this time, the people of Dongying were still afraid of death, especially in the Hirado Domain, the birthplace of the Japanese pirates on the three islands, the habits of the Japanese were still very strong, and they still maintained the good custom of running away if they could not win.
Zhang Bin's herald guards came to the front of the street on the right, and Sarufei Sasuke, who was in charge of the "command", and Qi Changshan, the real commander, immediately ran over, and they exchanged words with the guards for a while, and soon dispersed.
Qi Changshan entered the Qi family army formation to command, and Sarufei Sasuke came to the front of the formation and shouted at the bow general in front of him in Dongying dialect: "Our lord told you to get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”
This is Hirado Castle, why should I make way for you?
General Gong looked at the formation of the bow group behind him, and the platoon was quite mighty, and he immediately mustered up the courage to shout: "This is the territory of our Matsuura clan, and I can't tolerate your arrogance." ”
Say that we are arrogant, then we will be arrogant to you, Sarufei Sasuke pointed at the bow general and scolded: "Yaga." ”
General Gong was about to fight back, when more than 1,000 soldiers of the Qi family army and more than 1,000 guards suddenly shouted at the same time: "Baga! ”
The sound was so loud that the whole Hirado Castle seemed to shake, and the bow general felt that he was almost overturned by the sound, and he forgot what to say.
Sarutobi Sasuke raised his head proudly, pointed to the front and shouted, "Get out of the way." ”
Behind him, three hundred Qi family soldiers shouted in unison, "Ha." Then he rushed forward like a cloud of water.
The bow general's face suddenly changed, hey, hey, don't get excited, how can you say that you can start fighting, he hurriedly shouted to the short bow formation behind: "Ready." ”
The short bows hurriedly drew their arrows, bent their bows and arrows, and pointed diagonally ahead.
The range of the short bow is about eighty paces, and the distance between the two sides is about two hundred paces.
However, the three hundred Qi family troops on the opposite side only rushed to about one hundred and fifty steps and suddenly stopped, which was really called a man who was as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as invading as a fire, and as immobile as a mountain.
What can you do with this distance?
At this time, the range of the so-called iron cannon or arquebus is only a hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, and the bullets can't fly so far.
The range of the flintlock pistol is not a hundred steps, but two hundred steps, and at a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, the lethality of the bullet is not very large, but it is still no problem to break the skin.
Zhang Bin didn't want to start a war with Dongying at this time, so he didn't plan to kill the Matsuura clan in Hirado City, he just wanted the Matsuura clan to know that he couldn't afford to mess with him, and if he knew each other, he would stay honest and don't come to mess with Lao Tzu!
The three hundred Qi family soldiers suddenly stopped, and General Gong breathed a sigh of relief, and he was thinking about saying a few words about the scene, when the sword and shield men and pikemen on the opposite side suddenly squatted down, revealing a hundred musketeers behind him, two rows of musketeers, one row bent over, one row upright, and a hundred muskets were neatly pointed at him.
What are you doing, you want to hit me, such a distance, can you hit me?
"Papapapa", what answered him was a burst of gunshots, "poof", he felt that the bamboo armor on his body had been hit, he hurriedly looked down, which Ni? The bamboo armor was unexpectedly punched out of a small pit almost half a finger deep!
He had bamboo armor, but there was no ashigaru behind him, "Ahhh
The range of the opponent's iron cannon was so far, the bow general's face changed in fright, fortunately, the iron cannon took a long time to reload ammunition, if the other party continued to load ammunition, he still had time to organize his subordinates to retreat.
Will the other side continue to reload?
He looked up and saw that the musketeers on the other side were busy, but, unlike what he had imagined, the musketeers did not take out iron sticks and gunpowder canisters or anything, but moved something in a uniform manner, and he could hear the sound of "click" from a long distance.
"Click", followed by a few neat sounds, he couldn't really see it from too far away, and he didn't know what those people were busy with their heads down.
After a while, the men suddenly raised their heads in unison, raised their guns, and aimed them at them.
That's the end of the ammunition? Impossible, right?
"Papapa", he answered him with another burst of gunshots, "poof" This time he felt that he had been shot several times, and the ashigaru behind him screamed even worse, and some even rolled on the ground in pain!
Hell, how could it be, how could those people reload so quickly, he looked up, and the people lowered their heads again and started to work.
He looked back at the miserable situation of his subordinates, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Stand back, stand back." ”
When his men heard this, they hurriedly helped each other and retreated along the street.
People just want to pass by this street, what are you still retreating along the street, he scolded angrily: "Baga, retreat behind the iron cannon group, you pigs." ”
When his men heard this, they did not hesitate to withdraw from the street and run towards the iron cannon group.
Seeing this, Qi Changshan immediately raised his hand, and the sword and shield men and pikemen in the front row stood up in unison, "shouted" and roared in unison, and pushed forward neatly.
The general Gong only found that he was still standing in place stupidly, he quickly turned around, ran to the old man with a smoke, and showed the small pit on his bamboo armor to others.
The three hundred elite soldiers of the Qi family soon came to the street on the right and set up a defensive formation to block this street from the military formation of the Songpu family on that side.
Seeing this, Zhang Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, at this time, Dongying people are not crazy people who don't want to die, it's good to know that they are afraid, but I'm afraid that they don't know what it means to be afraid like crazy people.
At this time, the elder of the Matsuura family was also frightened and changed his face, according to the description of General Gong, the attack distance of the iron cannon is much farther than his side, that is to say, the people on his side will be bulleted before they rush to the front of others, and the speed of loading ammunition is terrifying, and there is no hope of rushing to them with this little manpower under his own hands!
He was completely cowardly, he didn't dare to do anything, and he didn't even have the courage to come forward and shout, you must know that the distance he stepped forward to shout just now had already entered the range of others, and if he wanted people to shoot, he had to hit him full of pits.
He only hoped that this lord, as his subordinates said, had come to visit his relatives, otherwise, Hirado Castle would be finished, and even the entire Hirado Island and the entire Hirado Domain would not be able to be saved!
Zhang Bin had already seen that the morale of the Dongying people was not very good at this time, and his mood was suddenly extremely relaxed, he waved his hand directly, and took a group of guards Shi Shiran to the street on the right.
At this time, the residents of Hirado Castle knew that there was an adult who had a fight with the lord of the clan, the Matsuura clan, and they were so frightened that they all closed the door, so Zhang Bin and his party couldn't even see a figure when they walked on the street, and the gates on both sides of the street were closed.
This Pinghu City should be relatively prosperous in Dongying, but most of the buildings are mainly wooden houses, low and simple, at most it can be regarded as the level of the small county town in the far reaches of the Ming Dynasty, and occasionally you can see a few wooden buildings, compared to the carved beams and paintings in the courtyard of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Bin lost interest after watching for a while.
Zheng Chenggong's mother and son's residence in Hirado is located in Kawauchiura, I heard that there are many Ming merchants, Zheng Chenggong's maternal grandfather Tagawa Yihuang is actually a Ming craftsman, his original name is Weng Yihuang, a blacksmith, moved to Hirado in his early years, played a good katana, quite the weight of the Matsuura clan, and then became a vassal of the Hirado Domain, that is, the retainer of the Matsuura clan.
Zhang Bin recalled the information about Zheng Chenggong in his mind, a group of seven or eight hundred people had already entered Chuanneipu, Zheng Zhibao was familiar with Zhang Bin and came to a rather large courtyard, and then arched his hand and said: "My lord, this is it." ”
Zhang Bin looked left and right, then raised his hand, and all the guards immediately dispersed, controlling the entire street.
Only then did he turn over and dismount, tidy up the robe on his body, and then motioned to Zheng Zhibao to knock on the door.
This gate is still in Chinese style, there is a beast head on both sides of the door, and the mouth is tied to an iron ring, which looks quite realistic, which also proves that Weng Yihuang's craftsmanship is quite good.
Zheng Zhibao stepped forward, picked up an iron ring, and knocked lightly a few times, and after a while, an old man's voice sounded inside: "Daleka and Maska." ”
Zhang Bin can hear that this is a bit inauthentic, it feels a bit like he is speaking Dongying in Chinese, Zheng Zhibao has also been in Dongying for a few years, so he naturally understands, he whispered to the crack in the door: "Weng Bo, it's me, Zhibao." ”
As soon as his words fell, the door creaked open, and a burly old man with a red face ran out in surprise and said, "Zhibao, why are you here?" ”
However, as soon as he ran out, he almost turned around and ran back, because there were people standing outside the door, and these people were still holding weapons.
Zheng Zhibao hurriedly grabbed his arm and persuaded: "Weng Bo, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all your own people." ”
When Emperor Weng Yi heard this, he turned around and said with palpitations: "These are all the subordinates of a single official? ”
Yiguan is the name that Zheng Zhilong used when he was in Dongying, Zheng Zhibao shook his head and said: "These are not my eldest brother's subordinates, they are all this Master Zhang's subordinates." ”
Weng Yihuang only noticed at this moment that a young man with a jade face was standing behind Zheng Zhibao with a smile, and he was puzzled: "Lord Zhang? I heard that you have defected to the imperial court, is this a colleague of an official? ”
When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know whether Zhang Bin wanted to reveal his identity, so he could only look at Zhang Bin to see what he meant.
Zhang Bin directly bowed his hand to Emperor Weng Yihuang and said: "Uncle Weng is good, Zhang Bin, the governor of Fuguang in the Ming Dynasty." ”
When Weng Yihuang heard this, his knees weakened, and he almost fell to the ground, my God, Governor Fuguang!
He saw that Zhang Bin was young, and thought that Zhang Bin was at most an official equivalent to the size of the county order, who knows, he was the governor of the two provinces.
The governors of the two provinces, how big the officials were, he couldn't think of them, in short, they were already terrifying.
Seeing this, Zhang Bin hurriedly went up to help him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Weng, what's wrong with you?" ”
Weng Yihuang stammered: "You, you are the Governor?" ”
Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Thanks to the emperor's grace, Tian is the governor of Fuguang." ”
The officials of the Ming Dynasty didn't dare to joke with the emperor, if he said so, it would definitely be it.
Weng Yihuang's legs and stomach trembled, and he wanted to kneel down, but Zhang Bin held him up and smiled: "Uncle Weng doesn't have to be polite, I'm here to pick up my sister-in-law and eldest nephew back to Daming." ”
Weng Yihuang stammered: "Uncle, uncle! The grass people don't dare to be, what are you talking about, sister-in-law? ”
Zhang Bin smiled and explained: "Yes, my mother is also surnamed Huang, and like Zhilong's mother, she belongs to the Huang family in Funing Prefecture. ”
As soon as he talked about his hometown, Weng Yihuang was immediately attracted, and he couldn't help asking: "The Huang family in Funing Prefecture?" My lord, you are also from Fujian? ”
Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Yes, I am from Dajin Institute in Funing Prefecture." ”
Weng Yihuang couldn't help but recall: "The grass people are also from Fujian, and their hometown is near the capital city of Quanzhou, and I don't know what is happening there." ”
When Zhang Bin heard this, he directly glanced at Zheng Zhibao, and Zheng Zhibao immediately touted: "At this time, Fujian is in the governance of adults, and all industries are prosperous, which is very good." Omber, let's not talk about this for a moment, won't you invite us adults to come in and sit down? ”
Emperor Weng Yi only reacted at this time, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Oh, I'm all confused, my lord forgive my sins, forgive my sins, please inside." ”
Zhang Bin nodded with a smile and followed him inside, Zheng Zhibao, Qi Yuangong and Qi Yuanfu also followed, and the other guards stayed outside the gate.
This is a relatively large courtyard, the front one is a shack built with adobe bricks, which is placed with all kinds of iron-striking utensils, as well as stove bellows or something, and the second is a small courtyard, which looks quite elegant.
As soon as he entered the compound, Zhang Bin saw that at the door of the main house opposite, a young woman and a maid were standing there with an old woman, who was holding a three- or four-year-old child in her left hand and a six- or seven-year-old child in her right hand.
The six- or seven-year-old child puffed out his eyes and looked at the few people who came in, then broke free from the young woman's hand, ran to Zheng Zhibao with a cigarette, and said excitedly: "Third uncle, third uncle, you are here, did you bring me something delicious?" ”
Zheng Zhibao picked him up, kissed him on the face, and laughed: "I didn't bring anything delicious, the third uncle will take you back to Daming, and when the time comes, you can eat whatever you want." ”
At this time, the young woman holding the child also came up and said slightly: "Third uncle, you are here." ”
The tone is a bit stiff, and it is obvious that Chinese is learned later.
Zheng Zhibao put down his eldest nephew, raised his hand and introduced to Zhang Bin: "Sister-in-law, this is Lord Zhang, the eldest brother asked the adult to come and pick you up back to Daming." ”
When Tian Chuan heard this, he immediately showed joy on his face, and said to Zhang Bin: "The concubine has seen Lord Zhang." ”
Zheng Zhibao thought about it, and said to Zheng Chenggong: "Sen'er, call uncle." ”
Zheng Chenggong immediately shouted obediently: "Uncle." ”
Zhang Bin touched his head and smiled: "Well, Sen'er is good." ”
Everyone was considered to have seen the ceremony, and Emperor Weng Yihuang led them to say hello to Tian Chuan's mother, and then let Tian Chuan's mother and daughter go down with the child, and the group came to the main house, knelt around Xiao Ji and sat down, Qi Yuangong and Qi Yuanfu stood on both sides of the door of the main house like two door gods.
Weng Yihuang thought that these two people were Zhang Bin's guards, and he didn't care much, he wanted to know that one of these two people was a general soldier and the other was a general, so he had to be frightened.
In order to save trouble, Zhang Bin didn't make much introduction, as soon as the three of them knelt down and sat down, he said directly: "Uncle Weng, I was entrusted by Zhilong to come to pick up Sen'er's mother and son back to Daming, if it is convenient, let them and mother and son clean up, then come with us." ”
This is not a question of convenience or inconvenience, Weng Yihuang sighed: "My lord, you don't know, the officials and their intention to rebel have angered the shogun, if it weren't for the fact that my old bones are still a little useful in the eyes of the Matsuura clan, their mother and son are probably captured." Although the Matsuura clan and the Tokugawa shogunate are at odds with each other, they still won't sweep the shogunate's face in this kind of thing, and it's probably unlikely that you want to take them back to the Ming Dynasty, and the Matsuura clan will definitely come forward to interfere. ”
Zhang Bin smiled and said: "Uncle Weng, Zhilong told me when I came, I have already arranged it, don't worry, the Matsuura clan will not come to interfere." ”
Weng Yihuang is strange, you are an official of the Ming Dynasty, not an official of Dongying, how can the Matsuura clan listen to you.
Seeing his confused expression, Zhang Bin immediately gave Zheng Zhibao a look on the side.
Zheng Zhibao immediately understood: "Uncle Weng, don't worry, our lord has brought two thousand people, and he is pressing the Matsuura clan's subordinates at the port at this time, and the Matsuura clan is not so scared that he pees his pants, how dare he come out and meddle with our lord's affairs." ”
When Emperor Weng Yi heard this, he was shocked: "Ah, I heard that the Matsuura clan fought with an adult, it turns out that this adult is Lord Zhang!" ”
Zheng Zhibao said proudly: "How can they fight with us, our lord can beat the shogunate generals down with a wave of his hand, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs under the Matsuura clan are not to worry about at all." ”
Weng Yihuang was stunned for a moment, and beat the shogunate generals down, is it so exaggerated?
Zhang Bin raised his hand and said modestly: "Uncle Weng, don't listen to his nonsense, but this Songpu clan really can't help me, but you, or you go back to Daming with us, otherwise as soon as we leave, the Songpu clan will come to trouble you." ”
When Weng Yihuang heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I'm so old, and I'm too lazy to run back and forth, since the Matsuura clan doesn't dare to do anything to you, I'm relieved, they won't do anything to me, after all, they still have to rely on me to build weapons, but what about Koshichizaemon, the first official has promised to pass him on to the Tagawa clan to inherit my family business, how can he leave his mother at such a young age!" ”
Zhang Bin thought about it, and then proposed: "Otherwise, let him go back with us first, anyway, in a few years, this Dongying will be similar to Dongfan, and when the time comes, it will be very convenient to walk back and forth." ”
Dongying is similar to Dongfan?
Weng Yihuang tasted it carefully, and immediately said dumbfounded: "My lord, what do you mean is to defeat Dongying!" ”
Zhang Bin nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Please don't make a noise about this, Uncle Weng has been quiet about this, in the past few years, I still have some other things, and I haven't had time to clean up Dongying for the time being." ”
