"Mo Long Gong, please wait a minute!" Just as Tsukahara was about to return to his guard station, a somewhat immature voice sounded from behind him. When I turned around, it was Hojo Masa and Hojo Tsunari. "Thank you Molong Gong for protecting my family just now." Hojo Masa thanked again and again.

Tsukahara Moryū felt a little crying and laughing, he can be said to be the culprit of the Hojo family's decline from the overlord of the Kanto region to the difficulty of survival today, but the Hojo clan came to thank him for killing his father? Sure enough, there are only eternal interests and no eternal friends? "No need to say thank you, if you want to protect the Hojo family, you still have to rely on yourself." Tsukahara Muryu didn't plan to talk to Masata of the Hojo clan. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something that made him so excited, so he turned to the somewhat lost Hojo clan and said: "My old feud with the Hojo family has been broken in the national capital, so in the future, unless you choose to oppose me, I will not embarrass you." ”

The Hojo clan and Hojo Tsunari, who were guaranteed by Tsukahara Moryū, were all happy, and if Tsukahara Moryū chose to stay out of the matter, then the Hojo family might still be able to block the Uesugi family alone.

When Tsukahara Molong disappeared into the realization, Hojo Clan's smile gradually faded: "The original territorial division was a bureau set up by Takeda, Imagawa, and Tsukahara to Uesugi Kenmasa, and after Tsukahara Molong seized Toshima County, a large part of the family's territory almost became an enclave, and it was strange that Uesugi Kenmasa did not covet it." In this way, the Uesugi family will be able to keep their eyes on the main family, and they will be able to continue to accumulate strength. ”

Hojo Tsunade saw that the Hojo clan's political cave was watching the fire, and he suddenly felt very relieved in his heart, but he still opened his mouth to persuade him: "Even so, it is not an opportunity for the rise of the family. The family has been fighting all year round, and has trained a large number of elite grassroots samurai and ashigaru, but it is a pity that the first battle of the national government and Taiwan, almost all the troops were wiped out, and now there are too many recruits in the major reserves, and the Uesugi family is just used to train the troops. What really worries me is Tsukahara Moryū...... What will he do during the time when the Honke family is at war with the Uesugi family? ”

"Huh?" Hojo clan Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Uncle is worried about ......"

Hojo Tsusunari nodded, "We need to step up communication with Takeda and Imagawa and establish a Triple Alliance, otherwise, even if we defeat the Uesugi family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to contain the demon dragon at that time." ”

The two talked as they walked, and Tsukahara Moryū had already returned to the army station. Seeing this killing god come back, Kohata Kenshige and the others breathed a sigh of relief, there were less than five hundred people who could be used to watch the two reserves of Tsukahara Molong, if Uesugi Kenmasa really burned his brain, or Sasaki Nagahide and the others were unhappy, then the fun would be great, and it was not impossible for him to die here.

After Tsukahara Molong said goodbye to Kohata Kenshige cordially, he actually led the army to return to the lower country, and Kohata Kenshige hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the reins: "Molong, this alliance is not over yet, why are you leaving?" ”

"I've said everything I can say, it's just a tour of the mountains and rivers, and I still have a lot of things to do over there, so I won't accompany him." Tsukahara Moryū smiled meaningfully at Kohata Kenshige, his own series of actions were enough to make Uesugi Kenmasa suspicious, if the two pillars of Kohata Kenshige and Nagano Yoshimasa were suspected by Uesugi Kenmasa at the same time, what interesting things would happen in the war with the Hojo Army?

When Tsukahara Moryū rode back to Shimokoku, he received news that made his eyebrows raise: a merchant ship of the Southern Barbarians had arrived on the beach of Anfang Province! This is not good news, he is still leading troops outside, and the southern barbarians are coming, in case they are killed by the simple people under their command as ghosts, then they will be entangled. After all, in these years, the Japanese only worship the Ming Kingdom, as for you European ghosts, I'm sorry, cut you! Although there are many merchants from the Three Kingdoms at present, many of them have seen the Nanban, but the problem is that they are all men who have been floating on the sea for a few months, and it is normal to have some physiological needs, even soldiers are not exempt from customs, not to mention that the sailors who sailed in these years are basically people who can't get along in the country...... As soon as they come ashore, what do they do?

Thinking of this, Tsukahara Moryū whipped his horsewhip and galloped away to the head of the country under the stunned gaze of Sasaki Nagahide and others.

At this time, in the land of the Three Kingdoms, a storm is brewing. The merchants from the realm were well aware of the huge profits of trading with the Nanban, so they were very supportive of accepting these Nanban, but the local wealthy warriors were full of wariness of the Nanban, especially since these Nanban were very restless in their private life after they came ashore. Originally, there was no quarrel between the two groups, but the samurai who came from a humble background and were promoted because of their military exploits gradually stood on the opposite side of the Nanban due to the chaos of the Nanban, which made the Nanban who came here also become nervous. But what was more nervous than the southern barbarians was Zhou Dashuai, who was in charge of the security of the castle town, and the southern barbarians who came this time were not three or four ships like the Jiecho, but there were nearly twenty of them! There are hundreds of Nanban people just wandering around on the boat, and this has to harm how many pure and few, women! Zhou Dashuai, who felt the pressure, was furious and ordered to mobilize a special person to guide the direction of the entertainment venue for this gang of guys, so as not to let this group of bastards run around. After Zhou Dashuai's seemingly strange measures were implemented, the two sides of the quarrel were surprised to find that the southern barbarians were much more restrained, at least they would not break into people's houses and make nonsense.

However, not long after Tsukahara Molong returned to Kojincheng, the Nanban sent out an even more exciting news: they wanted to build a settlement! Tsukahara Molong looked at the several Nanban people he visited: three middle-aged uncles with scruffy beards and dark skin, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: Sure enough, can girls participate in the Age of Exploration only appear in the game? The businessmen also sent a special translator to facilitate communication. After all, this era is still the era when Portugal and Spain dominated the sea, and as for the later maritime overlord of the British Empire, it was still a poor diao, although Tsukahara Molong wanted to kick the translator away domineeringly, and speak a few words of English to put on a wall or something, but there was no object to install the wall.

"Honorable lord, we have come with friendship, hoping to have a place to supply here, so that we can facilitate our future trade." The uncle, who calls himself Paul, said to Tsukahara Ryū through an interpreter.

Tsukahara Molong smiled and nodded, "As long as you obey my laws in my land, then you are always welcome in my port." ”

When Paul saw that Tsukahara Molong had a good attitude, he immediately felt that there was a play, and immediately said: "Of course, we are all good people who abide by the law. But as you can see, our habits are very different from yours, and it will be a hassle to manage them, and we hope that you will allow us to establish a settlement here. Of course, we'll pay the taxes. As he spoke, Paul took a tray covered with a red cloth from the guard behind him, and when the red cloth was removed, it was a fist-sized stained glass ball and a short musket.

Settlements? The corners of Tsukahara Molong's lips are slightly raised: The woolen settlement is a colony! But I have to say that scarcity is expensive, although before the Industrial Revolution, this group of ghosts did not have many good things to get their hands on, in 1521 they also wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty, but the egg yolk that was directly pumped by the Ming Navy Master flew out, but the development of commercial trade and increased financial revenue, but Tsukahara Molong was still very willing. However, trade is trade, and if you want to play tricks with me, you are still a little tender.

"There is a saying in the Ming Kingdom, which is called to follow the customs of the locals. When you trade, you must also trade according to our needs, right? So, I've decided to allow you to move into the castle town, and you'll have to learn how to adapt to the rules yourself, and I can't change the rules for you anyway, right? ”

As soon as Paul heard Tsukahara Molong do this, he looked at Tsukahara Molong's gaze and suddenly changed a little, he understood that this young lord was not so easy to fool.

"And I've heard that you're all religious, aren't you?"

"Yes, we are all God's people." Paul felt that the situation was a little bad, and the pace of the negotiation was somewhat controlled by Tsukahara Muryu, who seemed to know the situation on his side very well.

"I allow you to preach in my realm, but only if you don't threaten my rule." Tsukahara Moryū's smile was a little weird.

"Your Excellency, you're smiling...... Paul's eyes flickered.

"Therefore, if you want to live with me for a long time, you must do two things, one is that the divine right must not interfere with the regime, and the other is that I have implemented the sword hunting order, and when you go ashore, you must surrender your weapons, and I will guarantee your safety."

"No, it can't be!" The theocratic matter Paul can compromise, after all, he is not a fanatical and radical theocracy, even in Europe, theocracy and political power have begun to separate, but Tsukahara Molong's second condition is difficult for Paul to accept. After handing over their weapons, once Tsukahara Moryū turns his face, it will be difficult for them to protect themselves.

"If you don't want to trust me, why should you build a settlement with me? After all, as long as your fleet leaves, if I want, even if you are fully armed, I can wipe you out. ”

Seeing that the conversation was about to collapse, Paul's face changed, and finally he said with difficulty: "Those of us who struggle to live on the sea, if we don't have weapons, then it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves if we encounter pirates." ”

"It's at sea, and you can leave your weapons on board when you go ashore and equip them when you leave. Anyway, I would never tolerate a musket team of hundreds of men walking around my territory. "Tsukahara Molong does not back down, this is a matter of principle, you know, how many dare to cross the whole earth to beg for a living? Let them go ashore in full gear? Brain disease would allow them to do this.

Just when the two sides did not back down, a middle-aged man named Fausto behind Paul suddenly asked: "I beg my pardon, what should we do if we surrender our weapons and are attacked by you?" ”

"If you don't surrender your weapons, I can't attack you?" Tsukahara Molong smiled playfully, "What's more, if I attack you, at most I can only get your goods for one voyage, what I need is a stable supply of goods, not killing chickens and eggs." ”
