Chapter 967
Geng Zhongming led 3,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the distant Jucheng, but found a problem, the city of the Wa Kingdom was not the same as the city of the Central Plains.
In the Central Plains, no matter how poor the small county town is, the residents are also enclosed in the city to avoid being harassed by bandits and enemy troops.
In the Wa Kingdom, the castle was the residence of the feudal lords, and the common people were not enclosed in the castle, and the houses of the common people were built outside the castle and were called "castle towns".
Three thousand Qing soldiers came to the main city and found that the residential area was not defended at all, and a group of dwarves lived in low houses, and immediately cheered.
The Qing soldiers who had committed a terrible crime at sea immediately broke into the homes of the people of the Japanese country in groups of three or five to grab money and food, and took all the valuable and worthless food, vegetables, fish, rice, clothes, shoes and hats, all of which were not let go, and the poor people of the Japanese country were robbed by the Qing army, and some women who were slightly beautiful were also insulted, and for a time the cry was all over the streets and alleys of the town.
When Goto Moritoshi heard that a large number of Ming people had arrived on Fukue Island, he thought that the fleet on the Ming Dynasty side had lost its way and had deviated from the direction, and was supposed to go to Nagasaki, but ended up on Fukue Island.
After the Tokugawa family established the Edo shogunate, they implemented the policy of closing the country to the outside world, and only opened the port of Nagasaki to trade, and the Goto family had no business to do, and it gradually declined.
The Ariake fleet strayed into Fukue Island, and Goto was overjoyed, thinking that he could do some business with the Celestial Empire, and found a fleet to exchange some cloth, porcelain, and tea and then changed hands to make a lot of money to subsidize the family.
He rushed up to the top of the castle tower to look, but when he saw the Akito who had come ashore, he rushed into the castle town and robbed it, and he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly asked the samurai to guard the castle, and sent people to Hizen Province and Edo for help.
……
"Lord Wang, the people in this bird place are really fucking poor, the brothers turned over for a long time, and they grabbed some cold rice balls, pickles, dried fish, and not even a pound of meat!" Chen Baoping came over and reported to Geng Zhongming.
Geng Zhongming looked surprised, "Is it so poor?" ”
He saw that there were nearly 10,000 residents in the city, but he didn't expect to find anything.
Geng Zhongming's gaze crossed the residential area under the city and fell to the residential city on the high ground, and at first glance it was a big family, so he pointed with a horsewhip, "There should be something we want there." ”
The three thousand Qing troops drove directly to the city, and Chen Baoping stepped forward and shouted, "Hurry up and open the city gate, otherwise after the breakthrough, there will be no chickens and dogs left." ”
Goto Mori lay on the city and looked down, there were three thousand troops below, wearing armor and carrying iron cannons, one of them, riding on a war horse with an arrogant face, and he was not a good kind at first glance.
The great pirate Wang Zhi once used Fukue Island as a base, and after the five islands were prosperous, there were often Ming Dynasty merchants on the island who came to trade, and he could understand Chinese and write Chinese characters, poked his head out and said, "May I ask what your Excellency means by coming?" ”
Seeing that this group of men and horses had made the outside of the city smoky, how dare Goto Moritoshi let them enter the city, and decided to delay the time and wait for reinforcements from the Hizen Domain to come.
Chen Baoping was annoyed when he heard it: "Straight to your mother!" If you open the door, open the door, and then believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you! ”
Seeing this, Geng Zhongming stepped forward and waved his hand to stop Chen Baoping, after all, he was in someone's land, and if he could, he wouldn't do it.
"This king's fleet is lost at sea and needs a sum of money and food, and I want to borrow a little from you." Geng Zhongming said.
When Goto Mori heard this, he hurriedly said: "Please garrison outside the city, wait for a while, let me prepare, and then I will send the food!" ”
Geng Zhongming's expression sank, all his family resources were lost in the pass, he was going to take a handful of them here and leave, he must have to clean it up himself, how could he just give some food to send it away.
"No way!" Geng Zhongming said in a deep voice: "If you don't let Lao Tzu in, Lao Tzu will bombard you with cannons!" ”
As he spoke, Geng Zhongming pointed to the cannon that had been removed from the ship.
The enemy is strong and I am weak, and the other party still has artillery, Goto Mori looked at the more than 100 samurai under his command, called one person, and asked, "Sakamoto-san, has the messenger been sent?" ”
"Hey! Your Excellency, rest assured, it has been dispatched. The samurai nodded and bowed.
Goto Moritoshi said in a deep voice: "Please Sakamoto-san also go to the Satsuma Domain, inform the Shimazu family of the situation here, and ask them to come to help." ”
"Hey!" The samurai nodded and bowed again.
Goto Mori nodded solemnly, "Sakamoto-san, please." ”
……
A group of Qing soldiers under the city became noisy, and some of them began to shout in a short temper, claiming that they would enter the city and teach the dwarf who did not open their eyes a lesson.
The city gate creaked open, the drawbridge was lowered, and Goto Morito, with a number of knives stuck in his waist and a samurai dressed in tatters, came to the city gate to greet him, and there was even a group of musicians, playing music to welcome, which made the Qing army difficult to turn around.
It was night, outside the city guard, surrounded by the Qing army, upstairs and downstairs were full of Qing troops.
This group of routs spent several days of hard life at sea, they put together the small tables of the Japanese people, each time a dish was served, more than a dozen pairs of chopsticks poked down one after another, and in an instant there were only empty plates left on the table to revolve on the table, and the rout soldiers immediately scolded, "Mother split, turtle grandson is serving food quickly, why don't you see meat?" ”
The Japanese people are vegetarians, the nobles and samurai basically do not eat meat, and because the country is small and the people are poor, lack of resources, regardless of the upper and lower classes, they cherish the food very much, and the dishes are small and exquisite.
On the top floor of the castle tower, Goto Shengli accompanied Geng Zhongming to eat, the atmosphere was also harmonious, Geng Zhongming and the Japanese people ate and drank for a while, the communication was smoother, he picked up the wine glass, "Goto-kun, this king thanks you for your hospitality, come, dry this glass of wine, everyone is friends!" ”
He tilted his neck, drank a cup of turbid syrup, smashed his mouth, and only felt that it was tasteless and tasteless, and he had no energy, and Wudao Shengli was busy Chen Zan Geng Zhongming massively.
The wind was cold at night, and the wine was boring, which made Geng Zhongming feel a little cool, so he asked Chen Baoping to close the window.
Chen Baoping walked to the window, and was about to close the window, he was condescending, and happened to see a Japanese girl taking a bath in a room in the courtyard. ”
Goto Morori stood up and looked at it, his face turned pale, it was his daughter Yumiko.
The samurai who were sitting there instantly had a chill on their faces, and they sat up straight one by one without speaking, and their hearts were extremely angry, eager to draw their swords and hack this group of Central Plains people to death.
Through conversation, the Japanese people already knew that they were not Ming people, but Qing people, but Fujiang Island had been closed for many years, and they did not know much about the outside world, and they could not figure out the details of Geng Zhongming.
Goto Mori was shocked in his heart, how could the original people in this group be so rude, after eating the meal of the master's house, they still have to sleep with my daughter.
