67. I want to make a comeback
While waiting for Shimazu Yoshihisa's reply in Tsubo Town, Lin Feng heard that the Shimazu family secretly sent someone to Iki Island to eradicate Deng Bichuan, and suddenly felt very bad and wanted to leave Zhang Gou'er alone, and he had the idea of leaving Satsuma; Luo Amin mistakenly thought that her sister had been sent to Shimazu's house, and in order to rescue Ah Ping, she resolutely refused to retreat.
When Lin Feng's merchant ship left Tsubo Town and sailed for Kinko Bay, Xu Ling'er and the others were also on their way back to Satsuma......
The merchant ship docked at the Jinjiang Bay wharf, and Lin Feng sent someone to deliver a letter to the Shimazu family again, and at this time, Shimazu Yoshihisa was preparing to go to Ningbo to pay tribute.
After waiting for two days, still no reply, Luo Amin was very anxious and wanted to enter Kameyama City to visit Shimazu Yoshihisa, but Lin Feng flatly refused.
So, Luo Amin, who was helpless, had no choice but to secretly get off the boat and was persuaded back by the bodyguards.
Back on the boat, Luo Amin said angrily: "If something happens to Ah Ping, none of us want to go back alive!" β
"Amin, are you crazy?" Lin Feng asked angrily.
"I went to Guishan City to rescue Ah Ping by myself, I don't need you to worry about it!"
"If the Shimazu family uses Ah Ping as bait to lure us into being fooled, wouldn't you be fooling yourself by doing so?"
"We have prepared rich gifts for Shimazu Yoshihisa, and we can still trade with them in Ningbo in the future, I believe that Shimazu Yoshihisa will not embarrass me."
"It's so naΓ―ve!" Lin Feng angrily reproached: "Shimazu Yoshihiro ran to Iki Island for no reason and destroyed Deng Bichuan, have you ever thought about what this is for?" β
Luo Amin shook his head nervously and stopped talking.
"Dog, tell me, why did the Shimazu family go to Iki Island and secretly eliminate Deng Bichuan?" Lin Feng continued to ask.
"I heard that the Shimazu family dug three feet into the ground in Kawabe County for the sake of those treasures in Akimeura, and they didn't find the whereabouts of the treasures, and now they have laid a net to arrest my uncle, to be honest, if it weren't for Ah Ping, we shouldn't have taken this risk again." Zhang Gou'er replied.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, patted the dog's shoulder and asked, "The son can be taught, then, which uncle is the Shimazu family going to arrest?" β
Zhang Gou'er looked at Lin Feng and blinked, patted his head and replied: "I understand, the Lin Yiguan of Qiumupu back then is no longer there, and now, my uncle's name is Lin Feng." β
"Yes, let the name Lin Yiguan disappear from everyone's memory in the future." Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"Does Uncle Fei want to continue to build a relationship with the Shimazu family in a new capacity?" Zhang Gou'er asked.
At this time, Lin Feng, who had a solemn face, took Zhang Gou'er's hand and replied earnestly: "Yes! This burden will be handed over to you in the future, and when everyone forgets about Lin Yiguan, it will not be too late for me to go out of the mountain. Dog, your Zhang family is loyal, and your uncle has absolute trust in you. Back then, when I met Lord Luo Wenlong, that is, at your age, you have to have confidence in yourself! β
Hearing Lin Feng mention his father, Luo Amin lowered his head in shame, his face was flushed, he was silent for a moment, and said loudly: "Dog, for the sake of you who once risked your life to chase after Liaodong to save Ah Ping, I advise you, the Japanese are all wolf ambitions, and they must not be trusted!" β
"Auntie, don't worry, I have my own measure." Zhang Gou'er replied.
Lin Feng immediately ordered: "Dog, don't hesitate, you immediately bring gifts and enter Kameyama City to visit Shimazu Yoshihisa." β
So, dressed as a young man in brocade, Zhang Gou'er, surrounded by a large group of bodyguards, got off the boat with the generous gift, and the group entered Guishan City in a mighty way.
Shimazu Yoshihisa got the report that a wealthy businessman from Ningbo came to talk to them about business, and he didn't dare to slack off, because Yang Nuan, the master of Tongtang, was gone, so he hurriedly sent someone to find Guo Guoqiang.
Guo Guoqiang is just an ashigaru samurai, without his own territory, because he is mainly responsible for anti-theft, usually walking around, Shimazu Yoshihisa sent someone to look for him for a long time, but he did not find him, he was so angry at home that he stomped his feet, wow, he roared a few times, decided not to wait, put on the official uniform of the five-grade repair doctor, and took all the retainers to greet him outside Kameyama City.
Zhang Gou'er handed over the famous thorn and presented the gift list, and the bodyguards put boxes of yellow and white things in front of Shimazu Yoshihisa.
After reading this gift, although Shimazu Yoshihisa was overjoyed, considering that the Ming court was about to give them the qualification to pay tribute, because the intentions of this Ningbo wealthy merchant were unclear, and he was worried that the Shimazu family would have private business contacts with the Ming Dynasty, which would affect their relationship with the Ming court, not to mention that it was useless, so he asked Zhang Gou'er about his intentions.
What Shimazu Yoshihisa didn't expect was that Zhang Gou'er spoke Japanese very well, and concisely told the story of the Ming Dynasty's release of the sea ban and the quasi-sale of the East and West Oceans, and the Ningbo merchant group wanted to lease a piece of land in Kawabe County and cooperate with the Shimazu family to form a trading base.
Shimazu Yoshihisa was very happy to hear this, welcomed Zhang Gou'er and others into the city, warmly entertained him, and agreed to all his requests.
Zhang Gou'er successfully completed the task, and when he was leaving, he suddenly asked if Luo Aping was in Guishan City?
This sentence aroused Shimazu Yoshihisa's suspicion, he always thought that as long as Lin Yiguan was caught, he would be able to find those treasures in Akimeura, listening to this young Japanese who spoke so well, and suddenly cared about Lin Yiguan's sister-in-law, he knew that there must be a reason, so he happily replied to Zhang Gou'er, Lin Yiguan is a friend of their Shimazu family, and now, Luo Aping lives very well in Guishan City, so that Lin Yiguan and his wife don't have to worry, they can come and pick up Aping at any time.
So, Zhang Gouer proposed to see Luo Aping, but was politely refused, so he had to say goodbye to Shimazu Yoshihisa and hurry back to Jinjiang Bay Wharf.
As soon as Zhang Gou'er left, Shimazu Yoshihisa immediately sent Shimazu Yoshihiro to follow him, so that he must find out who this person is? Will Lin Yiguan be in Jinjiang Bay?
Shimazu Yoshihiro took two Ashigaru samurai to follow him secretly, and he didn't go far out of the city, when he suddenly saw Guo Guoqiang under a hill, so he asked his men to continue to follow Zhang Gou'er, and he ran towards Guo Guoqiang.
At this time, Guo Guoqiang was riding side by side with a black-clothed monk, this black-clothed monk was Wen Tao, who was a monk in Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei, and suddenly found that Shimazu Yoshihiro urged the horse to run, Wen Tao was afraid that he would recognize him, so he said hello to Guo Guoqiang, turned the horse and walked back.
Shimazu Yoshihiro rushed up to stop Guo Guoqiang and said loudly: "You came back just in time, come with me to arrest Lin Yiguan." β
Guo Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where did Lin Yiguan come from?" β
"Lin Yiguan is very likely to be in Jinjiang Bay, come with me."
Guo Guoqiang had no choice but to follow him to Jinjiang Bay Wharf.
Shimazu Yoshihiro asked, "Who is the black-clothed monk who was with you just now?" β
"I was ordered by the Governor of the family to arrest the robber Ishikawa Goemon who fell to Satsuma, but Ishikawa Goemon knew witchcraft and evil magic, and he was incompetent, so he had to ask this mage to come to help, hehe, Yoshihiro-sama smiled."
"Well, where did he go now?" Yoshihiro Shimazu continued to ask.
"The mage just smelled a demonic aura and tracked down Ishikawa Goemon."
Shimazu Yoshihiro found this luxury merchant ship in Jinjiang Bay, only to see that this ship is more than ten zhang long, the bottom is wide and the head is sharp and the tail is square, the three masts can hang six sails, there are three layers up and down, and there are dozens of boatmen in the guards on both sides of the cabin, all wrapped in red scarves, full of energy, and can not help but be moved by the Chinese prestige, and regret that they did not follow the Qin mission to the Beijing Dynasty......
At this time, Zhang Gou'er had already returned to the ship and was reporting to Lin Feng about his visit to Shimazu Yoshihisa.
Knowing that the Shimazu family had sent someone to Beijing to meet the Longqing Emperor and hoped to obtain the qualification for Ningbo's tributary trade, Lin Feng realized that Shimazu Yoshihisa had been fooled, and was even more convinced that maybe it would not be too long, and they would have to return to their own cooperation.
When Zhang Gou'er and Lin Feng were talking secretly in the cabin, Luo Amin suddenly broke in, and asked Ah Ping what her situation was when she entered the door, and Zhang Gou'er told her truthfully that Shimazu Yoshihisa asked Lin Feng to pick it up in person.
Luo Amin burst into tears, didn't say a word, pulled up Lin Feng and walked out.
Knowing that Luo Amin was pregnant, Lin Feng didn't dare to resist, so she pulled herself to the deck, and was just about to get off the ship, just when she met Shimazu Yoshihiro, Lin Feng's face suddenly changed, and he hugged Luo Amin into his arms.
Guo Guoqiang hadn't seen Lin Yiguan, and looked behind him at Shimazu Yoshihiro, only to see that his eyes were wide open, he pulled out his saber and rushed over, so he hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him tightly.
Shimazu Yoshihiro pointed his finger at Lin Feng and scolded loudly: "You damn liar! You, a criminal of the imperial court, where did you hide the ill-gotten wealth of Akimeura? β
At this time, Lin Feng had already returned to the cabin with Luo Amin in his arms, and Zhang Gou'er heard Shimazu Yoshihiro's scolding and hurriedly ran out.
Finding that Shimazu Yoshihiro was still shouting and scolding despite Guo Guoqiang's obstruction, Zhang Gou'er was angry, and when he approached, he said angrily: "Shimazu Yoshihiro, this son has just come out of your house and reached a trade agreement with your family governor Shimazu Yoshihisa, you are really presumptuous to come here to make trouble for no reason!" β
"You little pirate of Akimeura, don't lie to us anymore, let Lin Yiguan get out of here."
Zhang Gou'er argued: "There are many people in this world who look similar, where is there any Lin Yiguan?" β
"Lord Yoshihiro is angry, don't be reckless, this matter needs to be reported to the Governor." Guo Guoqiang also persuaded.
Shimazu Yoshihiro was sure that Hayashi was on this ship, so he left the dock in a rage and went back to move his troops.
Guo Guoqiang hadn't figured out what was going on, and when Shimazu Yoshihiro walked away, he asked, "This son, what happened?" β
"I was originally a businessman in Ningbo, and I came to Kameyama City to talk about business at Shimazu's house, but I didn't expect Shimazu Yoshihiro to be so rude." Zhang Gou'er replied.
At this time, Guo Guoqiang vaguely heard someone arguing inside, and the voice calling for Ah Ping, and he already understood what was going on, considering that the purpose of the Shimazu family to arrest them was to find the treasure of Qiumepu, in Guo Guoqiang's view, this wealth is the people's fat and people's ointment of the Ming people, left in the hands of Lin Feng, maybe it can be recovered in the future, but if it falls to the Shimazu family, it will be bad.
Thinking of this, Guo Guoqiang persuaded in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty: "I am also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I must be speaking to our compatriots, please rest assured, Miss A Ping is not in Guishan City, she has been sent to the safest place, you better leave here quickly, go as far as possible, Miss A Ping will definitely go to you." β
Zhang Gou'er was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down to salute and asked, "May I ask this uncle's surname?" β
"Guo Guoqiang."
"Uncle Guo, I have written to Shimazu Yoshihisa many times, wanting to cooperate with them to do business in Ningbo, but I have never been able to get a reply from them, so I had to visit Guishan City in person, I didn't expect to cause such trouble, please Uncle Guo go back and tell Shimazu Yoshihisa that the deal is not benevolent, and there is no need to do this to us."
Guo Guoqiang smiled slightly and replied: "The boy is a promising young man, and he will definitely become a generation of wealthy businessmen in the future, the world is big, and whoever does business is the same, it doesn't have to be the Shimazu family, continue to stay here at night and dream a lot, you better leave quickly." β
Zhang Gou'er thanked Guo Guoqiang and returned to the cabin to find Lin Feng, at this time, Luo Amin had fainted with anger.
"Uncle, I met a samurai from the Shimazu family just now, his name is Guo Guoqiang, he is from our Ming Dynasty, he said that he has protected Ah Ping, but the Shimazu family is indeed still arresting you, let's go quickly." Zhang Gou'er persuaded.
Hearing this, Luo Amin suddenly struggled to stand up, and hurriedly asked, "Who is Guo Guoqiang?" Where is he now? β
Lin Feng's eyes rolled, and he opened his mouth to reply: "Amin, listen to me, Guo Guoqiang used to be my subordinate, and Ah Ping is very safe now, so don't worry." β
So, Luo Amin breathed a long sigh of relief, and a hanging heart was temporarily put down.
Suddenly, Lin Feng said sternly: "Dog, I want to take your aunt out of this place, the task given to you, you must complete it, ask Guo Guoqiang for help, you must find a place to stay in Satsuma, understand?" β
"Please rest assured, uncle, I will arrange a boat to send you away, where does uncle want to go?" Zhang Gou'er asked.
"Send us to Ise Bay, I'm going to meet the monkeys......"
Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the shipwrights shouting in panic: "It's not good, it's on fire!" β
Everyone was taken aback and hurried out of the cabin, only to see that the ship was surrounded by dozens of speedboats, and the enemy was still carrying pine torches to the ship......
Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the fire around the cabin was everywhere, and it was about to burn the mast sail behind, at this time, Lin Feng's bodyguards and the samurai of the Shimazu family moved their hands, and immediately shouted murder......
At the critical moment, Zhang Gou'er dragged out two small boats from the bottom bilge, so Lin Feng picked up Luo Amin, and under the escort of more than a dozen bodyguards, jumped on the boat and fled urgently.
The whole merchant ship had already begun to catch fire, and the shipwrights and bodyguards jumped into the sea, and they overturned more than a dozen enemy ships in a row, and finally managed to make a passage.
At this time, Shimazu Yoshihiro drove a big boat towards Lin Feng, although Lin Feng's boat was fast, but it couldn't withstand the impact of layers of waves, and was almost overturned several times.
"Dog, if I can't get out alive, please take care of your aunt, your Zhang family is a loyal martyr, under the nine springs, your father and I will bless you."
"Uncle, don't worry, I will protect you and my aunt at the risk of risking my life." As he spoke, Zhang Gou'er jumped into the sea, overturned an oncoming speedboat, and fought the enemy in the water......
Zhang Gou'er and his bodyguards were blocking the enemy behind the boat, when they suddenly noticed a fishing boat in front of them, blocking their way.
At this time, Luo Amin was lying in Lin Feng's arms and said weakly: "It seems that we can't escape......
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly remembered Liu Bang, when he was chased and killed by Xiang Yu, in order to save his life, he pushed his wife and children off the carriage several times, and the loyal Xiahou Ying saved Lu's mother and son several times, but Liu Bang was so angry that he almost killed Xiahou Ying.
When Lin Feng picked up Luo Amin, who was pregnant, again, he finally made up his mind and said silently: In order to achieve the "great cause of a thousand years", I have to sacrifice you now......
