Samurai Oda Saburo walked down the street hungry, but he was confident that he would find this month's rice for his family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because his friend Sanyuan Dayou found a new way out for everyone, saying that he was going to organize everyone to go to Beishan Country to grab a handful, and if he could grab a buffalo, he would be able to eat rice for several months, and even the previous batch of villagers also grabbed Song goods!

Everyone is going to gather in the training hall today, and their material leader Tian Zhongyuan wants to gather all the concubines to discuss major matters.

These concubines were all samurai who could not become the daimyo royal family, and although the daimyo could give everyone a subsidy of thirty taels a year, it was getting less and less, and it was really not enough to support the family.

Fortunately, Tanaka's family was originally a big businessman and had a lot of property, not only set up a training hall, let everyone practice knives for free, but also helped everyone eat a meal from time to time.

Therefore, everyone recognized him as a thing.

Gather everyone to come together today, if you can manage a meal, you will save the family.

On the way, he meets Sanyuan Otomo.

Mimoto Otomo is a friend of his, and it was he who introduced himself to recognize Tanaka Gen as the leader.

He was poorer than his own family, and he couldn't even marry a wife, but fortunately, his parents left him a house, otherwise he would have become a ronin.

There is no way to do it, there is no war, and they can't be a royal family, so it is difficult for samurai like them to live.

Neither of them had breakfast, but they both had small knives in their waists and katanas in their hands, and they were staggering down the street, very imposing, and the passers-by on the road could not avoid them.

When they arrived at the training hall, they found that Tanakagen, the leader of things, was standing at the door to greet the concubines like them.

At this time, the smell of rice balls was also heard from the building. Wu Ling really prepared breakfast, and the stomachs of the two began to scream at once.

After bowing to them, he said, "Please go to breakfast first, you are too late." ”

Although the two of them were still hungry, the samurai's demeanor did not change, and they still swaggered in. Sure enough, there were more than 30 people inside.

The two found an unoccupied table and knelt behind the dining table like everyone else.

At this moment, two waiters came running with broken steps, one serving a plate of rice balls wrapped in nori with both hands, and the other serving two bowls of miso soup.

The two of them not only moved their index fingers when they saw these foods!

They were already satisfied with being able to eat two pieces of radish cooked with rice and salt, but who would have thought that they would be able to eat rice and drink miso soup!

The two of them kept eating nori rice balls, drinking miso soup loudly------ thinking when they were almost full. It would be nice to have another salted fish.

After drinking the soup, they also used rice balls to clean the soup bowl like everyone else, and ate the last rice ball before they were done.

At this time, Tanaka Gen said the purpose of summoning everyone.

They really wanted to organize the samurai to take the villagers to Shanbei to grab a batch of buffaloes and come back, this time the scope of the robbery was larger, and they also had to go to Zhongshan country. Grab more!

And all the people were overjoyed to hear this, and they all agreed. What a great opportunity this is, it can make life better------ so Tanakagen immediately told everyone that if you really want to go, you must prepare in three days, and set off across the sea on the fourth day.

The samurai were in great joy. I am full of energy when practicing knives.

After practicing, Oda Saburo retired early, and he went directly to the loan shark merchant to borrow a sum of money to buy more rice and go home.

A loan shark merchant is a man in his fifties. He also bought the identity of a samurai from the daimyo early, otherwise he would have to kneel when he met a samurai who borrowed money from him and told him to kneel, and there would be no way to do business.

The name of the loan shark merchant is Nobuyuki Yamashita, and their family has been lending money for generations, and the people here hate him and can't do without him.

Nobuyuki Yamashita smiled and said, "Oda-kun, there will be a big harvest when you go to sea this time, I heard that you are personally leading the team?" ”

Oda Saburo thought to himself, this news spread so quickly, and he also said happily: "Yes, this time we dispatched thirty-seven samurai, and Shanbei Province can't bear it at all." ”

Nobuyuki Yamashita nodded in convincing, happily borrowed a sum of money from him, and waited for him to return it when he returned.

Oda Saburo arrived at the rice shop, handed over the money, and asked the guy there to deliver the rice to his home, and then he generously returned to the training hall and devoted himself to serious training like the other samurai.

On the fourth day, they set out on twelve dhows, a group of more than 200 people, half spontaneously and half organized, towards the northern country of Shanbei.

May they have a smooth journey, and may they be safe.

At this time, there were many family members on the dock to see them off, praying for them to bring back more trophies, and the dock was a joyful scene.

Shortly after their departure, the long-established retainers of the daimyo Shimazu, who had been in charge of commerce for a long time, also returned from the Hakata area.

He respectfully told the head of the house everything he knew.

Liuqiu Island?

Shimazu was stunned for a long time, he had heard before that it was a desolate island with nothing, how could such a good Song goods suddenly be produced?!

The retainer also said about the situation of the Daimyo of the Mihara clan, and it turned out that they acted as an agent for the Song goods there, so the harvest was very high.

Shimazu thought about it for a long time and decided to write a letter to the Mihara family, testing if he could share some of their agent goods.

He called his pen and asked him to write a letter according to his own wishes, and then sealed his own seal and asked him to send it to the Mihara clan.

The Satsuma Domain was powerful, but it was so poor that even the low-ranking samurai's salaries were insufficient.

He didn't know that his junior samurai had found a way on his own.

The Japanese people of this time and space praised the behavior of samurai or countrymen who went out to rob, and gave full affirmation.

On the sea, the leader of the ship, Tanaka Gento, who had been in business for generations, stood at the bow of the dhow, and supported him in aiding the lower-ranking samurai.

There are many advantages to this, one is that it doesn't cost much money to get the support of a group of low-level samurai, and the other is that once something happens, you may get help.

Tanakagen organized this robbery with all his heart, and if the harvest is big, his training hall will be more famous, and more low-level samurai will come.

The guardian daimyo Shimazu Kukei was supportive of such a material organization, and believed that it was a good thing that the Tanaka family not only paid taxes to themselves, but also aided their own low-ranking samurai.

In fact, such an organization existed in other daimyo domains.

Perhaps it was in this form that, unlike the Great Song Dynasty, Japan cultivated a large samurai class.

Therefore, if there was a peasant uprising in Japan, it might not be necessary to send a professional army, and it would be wiped out by the samurai in a matter of minutes.

And once such a thing happened in the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty government was both peaceful and recruiting, and it would take some things more than Japan. (To be continued.) )
