The three sisters gathered in the Diaoyu Islands and told each other their sorrows......

Everyone stayed on the island for a night, and the next day they received news from the patrol speedboat that there was a Westerner merchant ship, which was going to land on the island to replenish fresh water, but when they found the Ming warship, they immediately turned around and ran. [Full text reading. 】

Therefore, General Feng An did not dare to slack off, and immediately commanded the soldiers to drive the battleship to attack, and chased the ocean to the east for more than an hour, and sure enough, he found a Western galleon in the distance.

Guo Yi knew that the muskets on this Western merchant ship would be transported to Gifu City and handed over to her father-killing enemy, Oda Nobunaga got these new muskets, which would be used to attack Ishiyama Honganji, Takeda Katsuyori, Uesugi Keikatsu and other hostile forces......

Xu Linger guessed that this merchant ship should be Mark's, so could it be that he helped Shang Comber contact Oda Nobunaga? Although Shang Kangbo, who colluded with the Japanese Invaders, has been eliminated by the Prince, for the young King Shang Yong, will he be able to resist the threat and temptation of the Japanese Invaders?

Judging from the careful layout of the prince, he knew that his days were numbered, and the hope of rejecting the Japanese from the country in the future was pinned on the body of this concubine, so whether or not the two coffins could be safely transported back to Ryukyu would become very important.

The warships of the Ming army soon caught up with the Western galleon, and both sides were actively preparing for war, at this time, the Hongyi cannon was filled with gunpowder, and only waited for the range of S range, General Feng An gave an order, and the ships in front of him could sink to the bottom of the sea.

At this time, Guo Yi suddenly found that the Ming army was not equipped with muskets, and sighed worriedly.

Feng An understood what she meant, and said, "Please sister, don't worry, the power of the cannon is much more powerful than the firecracker." ”

"Today's new Western arquebuses can penetrate armor, and the S Cheng is farther than our Hongyi cannon, so my sister must not take it lightly." Xu Linger persuaded.

"Because gunpowder is easy to get damp at sea and is not very useful, soldiers are still accustomed to using cold blades and bows and crossbows to fight."

As soon as Feng An's words fell, a wave of fierce S-fire began from the Western muskets, and some scattered bullets fell on the deck, listening to the shouts of the soldiers on the patrol speedboat, he knew that someone had been shot.

"Ignition and fire!" With Feng An's order, the horns above the battleship sounded in unison, and then, the three Hongyi cannons sprayed flames, sending out a dragon-like roar towards the Western galleon......

The Western galleon and the big ship fled eastward, and Feng An stood on the command tower, waving his flag to direct the pursuit......

When Guo Yi found that Feng An was about to sink it, he persuaded: "Sister, this ship is full of new arquebuses, it is best to capture them in your hand and use them to practice new formations." ”

"If you don't sink it, how can the Westerners give in easily?" Feng An asked puzzled.

"Sister Ling'er, it's up to you below." Guo Yi smiled and pointed to the Western galleon, and then said: "The missionary who is busy on the deck is Mr. Mark, a disciple of Father Simon Almeida, and now, as long as you shout, they will surrender immediately. ”

Although Xu Ling'er had already recognized Mark, she didn't know what to do in this situation, and after listening to Guo Yi's words, she hurriedly ran down the command tower, stood at the bow of the ship and shouted: "Mark, you can't escape, stop and surrender." ”

At this time, the patrol speedboat had surrounded the Western galleon, the soldiers were shooting upwards with their bows and arrows, and the crackling of muskets on the merchant ship was still ringing......

The battle between the two sides was in full swing, and the captain Mark suddenly heard a shout, hurriedly ordered his men to stop the S attack, ran to the bow of the ship to look, and found that Xu Linger was waving at him, and was immediately excited, at this time, a cold arrow suddenly flew and poured his S on the deck.

Captain Mark hurriedly ordered his men to surrender, and the truce drums sounded on the Ming warship, and the soldiers on the patrol speedboat quickly attacked and captured the Western galleon.

Feng An led the crowd to board the Western merchant ship and found that Mark's thigh was bleeding profusely, so he sent someone back to the battleship to ask for the military companion.

The desperate Mark looked at Xu Ling'er with his eyes and said timidly: "God forbid, it's great to see you again, I die without regrets." ”

Listening to Mark's Chinese has made great progress, Xu Linger was deeply pleased, squatted beside him, and asked in a complaining tone: "Mr. Mark, why did you do this kind of thing?" ”

Mark was very ashamed, and replied helplessly: "No way, as a servant of the priest, he brought me back from Hawksbill Harbor, and I can only follow his command." However, please rest assured, Mr. Hayashiba's attempt to contact Hashiba Hideyoshi through me was rejected by me. ”

Xu Ling'er nodded, and then asked, "How long have you been away from Hawksbill Harbor?" Where are these muskets and gunpowder going to be shipped? ”

"Just over a month ago, under the arrangement of the priest, a batch of arquebuses was transported to Tsubo Town in southern Kyushu and handed over to Mr. Konishi Ryuzzo; Later, Oda Nobunaga sent someone to me, saying that according to the agreement he had reached with my master, I would be transported directly to Isewan in the future and handed over to a samurai named Niwa Nagahide. Mark replied weakly.

It seems that Mark is not lying, Xu Linger comforted: "You can take care of your injuries, please rest assured, I will definitely be able to ensure your safety." ”

"Thank you, Miss Ling'er." Mark covered the wound with one hand and drew a cross on his chest with the other, and forced a cheerful statement: "God willing, it was great to meet you." ”

Xu Ling'er wrapped a silk scarf around his wound, asked the soldier to help bring a pot of water, handed it to him, and said, "Mr. Mark, if you endure it for a while, Lang Zhong who will accompany the army will arrive soon." ”

Mark took a sip of water, felt much more comfortable, looked at Xu Ling'er affectionately but didn't know what to say, hesitated for a long time, and actually shed tears......

At this time, Feng An, who was watching carefully, couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Mark, knowing that you have rescued our refugees many times, everyone will not embarrass you, but I also hope that you can tell the truth." ”

Mark nodded and replied, "If you have any questions, I never lie." ”

"Did you save anyone the last time you passed through the Diaoyu Islands?" Feng An asked.

"Not bad. On that occasion, we went to the Diaoyu Islands to replenish fresh water, and found that all the fishermen on the islands had been killed, so we buried them and held a mass, may these poor people rest in heaven. Before leaving, I suddenly found that there was still someone in DX who was not dead, and rescued this gentleman who had broken his leg, and at that time, he wanted to go back to Ryukyu, so we took him to Tsubo Town because we didn't dare to dock at Naha Port. ”

Mark's words and Wong's account were mutually validated, and General Feng An no longer took his anger at Mark for the killing of fishermen.

Feng An and others went around the merchant ship and found that the bilge was full of gunpowder, and the trafficking of new Western arquebuses amounted to 3,000 pieces.

Back on the deck again, Guo Yi squatted down and asked, "Mr. Mark, we all know that you are a kind person, and we don't want to embarrass you, you tell the truth, how many arquebuses is Oda Nobunaga going to buy?" ”

"According to the agreement reached between him and the priest, I plan to ship 50,000 sticks to him this year, and I will not be less than this number every year in the future, I delivered 5,000 sticks last time, but this time I only bought 3,000 sticks, if I hadn't met you, I was worried that when I got to Ise Bay, that madman from Owari Province would be angry with me......"

It seems that the future war will enter the era of musket fighting, and Oda Nobunaga's ambitions are not small; The monkeys who are trying to get the way to buy muskets are even more not-to-be-eyed! Thinking of this, Guo Yiteng stood up and asked sharply: "Besides you, who else is helping that madman to sell muskets?" ”

Mark had just bandaged his wound and hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "Because Oda Nobunaga can't give cash, this agreement has caused a lot of controversy in the Sakai Town Council, and if Father Simon Almeida can't come up with the money, I'm afraid no one will be willing to help him except me." ”

Guo Yi, who looked grim, nodded and said, "That's good!" This channel for trafficking in muskets must be cut off. Mr. Mark, one last thing is to ask you, have a few strange people in the Mazu Temple in the Diaoyu Islands sent letters to Japan through you? ”

Mark thought about it and shook his head in deep thought......

"So, in the past few months, has your master ever landed on the Diaoyu Islands?" Xu Ling'er asked.

With a blank face, Mark replied: "More than two months ago, he did go from Manila to Japan, and I don't know if he has ever landed on the Diaoyu Islands. It was during that trip to Japan that he and Oda Nobunaga reached a trade agreement in Kyoto, and until then, the Sakai Town Federation had never bought Oda Nobunaga. However, the elders of the Coalition were very dissatisfied with my Master's decision. ”

"Why would the priest agree to such an unreasonable request?" Guo Yi asked puzzled.

"It is said that my master fell in love with the Ryukyus and hoped to raise a puppet king in the Ryukyus with the help of Oda Nobunaga, one to ensure the maritime trade of the Spanish Empire, and the other to serve the great cause of missionary work. ”

These words confirmed the judgment of the prince: Shang Kangbo, who was unwilling to be defeated, met Simon Almeida in that Mazu temple, and through him established contact with Oda Nobunaga, asking the Japanese to help him restore the Ryukyus.

Perhaps Monkey Hideyoshi thought that Ryukyu would soon become the Oda clan's sphere of influence, and after hearing this news, he was eager to establish a stronghold of his own in Naha Port, which forced Oda Nobunaga's sworn enemy to come to Ryukyu to help him.

It seems that the prince's plan to kill people with a knife is also quite clever, and Shang Kangbo, who betrayed the country to seek glory, died unjustly at all!

At this time, the officers and men of the Ming army had already occupied this Western galleon, escorted all the prisoners to the warship and imprisoned them, sent speedboats back to the Diaoyu Islands to inform the stirrups, and the fleet gathered in the southern waters of the islands and sailed back to Beigang in Taiwan together.

When they arrived at the Beigang station, it was already the early morning of the next day, and Lieutenant Lang took Mark into the barracks to heal his wounds, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er didn't care about resting, and accompanied General Feng An to the big tent of the Chinese army.

After a while, I only heard Jingming shouting outside the tent: "Beat the dog and look at the master, blind your dog eyes, do you know who I am?" Hehe, scare you bastards to death, tell you that Poor Dao is the person of the prince of Dongchang, and the prince is the person of the master of ceremonies Feng Gonggong, who is Feng Gonggong? It's the red man around the saint today, your general has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he dares to imprison Dao Ye and me? ”

Huang Bingwen, who was dragging a stump leg, looked coldly at the stunned Qingming, and felt very uncomfortable: thinking that he was like him back then, showing off his martial arts all day long, taking a J hair as an arrow, I don't know how many catties and taels I had, and recognized Huang Jin, the prince of Dongchang Factory, as his godfather......

The soldier gave Jingming a few hard blows with the killing stick, and reprimanded: "You don't even know where the Jinyi Guard's yamen is open, and you dare to swagger and deceive, looking for death, right?" ”

The scolding Jingming was very unconvinced, and as a result, he took several more kicks......

Huang Bingwen watched all this quietly, and suddenly a chill hit him in his heart, fortunately he was captured by pirates, otherwise, after Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, as Huang Jin's minions, how could he end well? The whole family will be assigned to the army, and they may be beheaded by the West Market......

I thought that with the banner of Dongchang, I would be able to fool these Qiu Ba, but I found that it was not very effective, Jingming shouted: "Lord Huangzhang Criminal Officer, don't hurry up and show your identity to these bastards." ”

Finding that Huang Bingwen's lips were tense and silent, Jingming gritted his teeth and launched a ruthless attack, stomping his feet and shouting: "When Dao Ye and I become a national teacher, even if you lie on the ground and call me the eighteenth generation ancestor, Dao Ye, I won't even look at you, I will take you white-eyed wolves, peel your skin, cramps, debon, boil oil, light the sky lantern, and the whole family will be filled with military distribution, and no one will be left ......."

Before Jingming finished speaking, the soldiers pushed him and Huang Bingwen into the camp, and someone scolded: "Don't kneel down for General Feng yet!" ”

Jingming turned his head and scolded fiercely: "The dog's eyes look at people's low things, Lao Tzu is a factory man, understand?" Lao Tzu is a man of the factory! ”

At this time, Huang Bingwen had honestly knelt down in front of Feng An, bowed his head and said nothing.

Just as Jingming shook the banner to show off his might, suddenly, Xu Linger and Guo Yi appeared in front of him, and one of them slapped him with a big slap, beating his head like a wave drum......

Jing Ming, who still wanted to curse, looked at it fixedly, and suddenly his soul was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud......
