19. Lin shopkeeper layout
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all, and listened to the family history of the shopkeeper Lin......
"Wang Qianhu, Xu Langzhong, and all the warriors, Lin is a native of Huizhou, eastern Guangdong, Zhengde thirteen years (AD 1517) I was seventeen years old, that year, King Franji sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, wanted to reach a trade agreement with the imperial court, but was sternly refused."
"Soon, they harassed the coastal areas of Guangdong, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and even gangsters stationed in Macao, Dongguan Tuen Mun and other islands.
"The Franco-Rang people retreated to Macao and used it as a base to do evil; In the first year of Jiajing (1522 AD), they invaded Xicaowan in Xinhui County and were severely attacked by our Ming sailors, which was the 'Xicaowan Victory'. ”
"At this time, Wang Zhi, who was instructed by the Japanese Emperor, came to prominence, and he called himself the 'King of the Pure Sea', colluded with the Francois to come to Japan as a missionary, and formed a merchant group to travel between Japan, the Ryukyus, and the Nanyang Islands."
"As the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, and the sea eats the sea. At that time, although our Ming Dynasty implemented a maritime ban, within the imperial court, it was still divided into the 'strict prohibition faction' and the 'Chi ban faction', and the two sides had their own opinions and disputes. Before the trouble, the ban on the sea was in vain, and the fishermen who secretly went to the sea made a fortune and returned to their hometowns to buy houses and buy land, while our Lin family has been living by going to sea since the Song Dynasty, watching others make a fortune, of course, greedy. ”
So, Xu Yi raised his wine glass and expressed his opinion......
"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, to put it well, you have to give people a way to live, and the sea ban is not a long-term solution."
Shopkeeper Lin nodded in agreement and continued to tell the ins and outs of the Wako......
"In the second year of Jiajing (1523 AD), the power of the Muromachi shogun fell, the Oriental archipelago rose in all directions, and the defeated daimyo lords and samurai could not make a living, and they went to sea to become Japanese invaders, and Ningbo's 'battle for tribute' occurred, causing the imperial court to cut off contact with Japan, which just gave the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of."
"That Wang Zhi gave up his business and didn't do anything, recruited ronins everywhere, and invaded my southeast sea frontier. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, he led the Japanese from Rui'an into Taizhou, attacked Hangzhou, and then invaded the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian and the Shandong Peninsula. At that time, I was often traveling between Guangzhou and Manila. If it weren't for the collusion of this person with the Japanese invaders, Xia Yan, the head of the cabinet at the time, who knew very well the disadvantages of the sea ban, and the 'Chi Ban faction' would have prevailed, then the southeast coast would not be in the situation it is today. ”
"I can only hate that king who is greedy for power and wealth, who has ruined my coastal life, and who has lost his conscience, and whose deeds and beasts are undoubted, since the rebellion, we who have done our duty have no home."
"Soon, the Westerners dyed the islands of the Navy, and I took the whole family to Ryukyu, at that time, Lin Wenjun was still a teenager with his duty."
Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Lin couldn't help but burst into tears......
"Xu Hai Zhao'an was killed, leaving a lot of property in the Ryukyus, poor Jun'er was bewitched by the traitor Luo Wenlong, and led the whole family from Ryukyu to Satsuma, he was fascinated by power and wealth, and also wanted to learn from that Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, built a castle in Akimeura, bought the remaining pirates, and changed his name to Lin Yiguan. At this point, I could no longer restrain him, so I left Kyushu and came to Sakai Town. ”
Wang Chong couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Lin Yiguan already has the power of Wang Zhi and Xu Hai?" ”
Zhu Junwang shook his head, he had worked as a husband under Lin Yiguan and knew the current situation of Qiumepu.
"Although Lin Yiguan is ambitious, he can no longer become a climate."
Shopkeeper Lin shook his head and replied, "Old Zhu, you are wrong. Back then, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai had no one in the imperial court, but they only harassed the coastal people, and now, Lin Yiguan and the powerful Yan Shifan hooked up to purchase new arquebuses from Westerners. ”
At this time, Wang Chong was still a little unimpressed.
"Now that Yan Shifan and Luo Wenlong have been subdued, it is difficult for him to become a climate."
"Wang Qianhu, this is not true. Over the years, Yan Shifan and Luo Wenlong have set up many strongholds along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, in the Ryukyus and in various parts of Korea, in an attempt to introduce Yixiangzong to the mainland and assist them in rebelling. ”
"I can't bring Jun'er well, I'm sorry for the ancestors of the Lin family, the sky is above, I, Lin Mou, am guilty, Wen Jun should be punished, capture the thief and capture the king, please everyone."
Although the order to suppress bandits did not have the name of Lin Yiguan, Wang Chong already understood the good intentions of the shopkeeper Lin.
"Shopkeeper Lin, what should I do next?"
"Go to Kyushu to hoe and rape! In the past, Hirado, Satsuma, and Tsushima were called "Mishima Wako", but now, all of them are co-owned by Akimeura, and as for the Goto Islands, Osumi, Hizen, Higo, and other places, they are no longer a problem. ”
It can be seen that it is imperative to eradicate Lin Yiguan, and Wang Chong understands.
"Shopkeeper Lin is brave and loyal, heaven and earth can be learned, come, I will toast you!"
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Shopkeeper Lin said without worry: "Wang Qianhu, after this battle, I am no longer safe here. The Japanese have a lot of tactics, very practical, often in unexpected situations, one move to defeat the enemy, plus the pirates are cunning by nature, you should be careful when you go to Kyushu. ”
Hearing this, Xu Ling'er's heart suddenly shook.
"Brother Chong, we all went to Kyushu to rape, then, who will protect Shopkeeper Lin and my father?"
Wang Chong didn't seem to have considered this problem, but Shopkeeper Lin had already made up his mind......
"Rest assured, I'll send them to a safe place tomorrow."
Xu Linger was still relieved......
"Old shopkeeper, where is it?"
"Omi Kotani Castle. Its castle lord, Asai Nagamasa, married the sister of Oda Nobunaga, and was protected by the Echizen daimyo Asakura clan; His retainer Kiemon is a good friend of mine, and nothing will happen with them. ”
On the same day, Xu Yihou and the Zhu family father and son were sent away, and the seven warriors rushed to Kyushu to hoe and rape, and arrived in Chuanbian County the next day.
The setting sun shines on Akimeura, and the shallows and reefs on the seashore shimmer with golden light......
Although Hayashi had a castle, he often spent the night in the village, and after some reconnaissance, it was confirmed that he had been staying at the house of the Luo sisters since returning from Sakai Town.
According to the clues provided by Zhu Junwang, the Luo sisters are actually the daughters of Luo Wenlong, named Luo Amin and Luo Aping respectively.
At midnight, the crooked Xia Xuanyue hung in the sky, Xu Linger and Guo Yi answered at the entrance of the village, the thunder was guarding the front door of Luo's house, Gaidihu was guarding the backyard, Cao Shangfei was responsible for patrolling, and Wang Chong and Britong carried out assassination missions.
Wang Chong lightly touched the door and found that it was not locked, and with a slight push, a crack in the door was revealed, and it seemed that Lin Yiguan did not seem to be defensive.
Both of them felt incredulous, and suddenly, they felt the floor spinning under their feet, and then, there was a clapping sound, and they saw the wooden wall panels on both sides flip, and a row of sharp blades flashed at them......
As soon as they escaped, the roof suddenly fell down, and they saw that it was full of sharp knives, which were smashing on the top of their heads......
At this time, the sound of blades colliding sounded around the courtyard, and it was obvious that the thunder and the Gaidi Tiger had fought with the enemy......
Wang Chong resisted it with a scimitar and motioned Briton to run quickly, but before he could turn around, a hole suddenly appeared in the floor, and he heard a "plop" sound, and Briton disappeared.
Wang Chong pushed the ceiling open, carefully bypassed the wall panel, dodged the black hole, and finally turned to the inner room, where he saw a man and a woman sitting on the bed, obviously they did not expect that someone could break in.
The woman let out a scream, Lin Yiguan quickly pressed the mechanism, and the two rolled down to the other side of the bed.
Wang Chong jumped up, roared, and slashed with his sword, but he pounced, and they had fled through the dark passage.
Outside there were shouts of killing, and Wang Chong had no choice but to break out of the window and climb over the wall to be discharged.
"Let's get out of the way."
With Wang Chong's order, the thunder was in front and the tiger was behind, and Britong and Wang Chong were guarding both sides, fighting their way out......
