The Ryukyu archipelago is isolated overseas, since ancient times, China has been respected, in the early Ming Dynasty officially became a subject country, is the Ming Dynasty, Japan and the South Seas countries trade through the only way, the mainland coast to clear pirates and pirates, with the increasing prosperity of the port of Naha, both Japanese and Westerners are eyeing it. [Full text reading. 】

Defeated the state minister Ma Liangbi who colluded with the Japanese invaders, the situation of the Ryukyu Kingdom took on a new look, supported the concubine Niangniang of King Shangyong, inherited the will of the prince, Zhang Fan became the general of the expeditionary force, and set foot on Luzon Island again, on the grounds of encircling and suppressing the Lin Feng group, hoping to make him Zhao An, so that he could escort the Elder of the Moon Sky in the future, cross the ocean to open up the New World, and compete with the Westerners.

In just one month, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er completed these major events, sending away Mark and Louise, Konishi Yukichang and others respectively, and just as they were about to return to Japan, Ma Wu and Lin Shaoqi suddenly returned.

After Ma Wu and the others were released, they stayed in Manila for a few days, and Lin Feng hardly launched any more large-scale armed operations, and the situation in Luzon gradually stabilized.

They originally wanted to arrest Lin Feng back, but through a secret visit, they found that Lin Feng had lurked in a remote village in order to preserve his strength, because the priests in the village were all overseas Chinese who could read and write, and they had a sympathetic attitude towards the suppressed compatriots, so the Lin Feng group was not only not eliminated, but also gradually grew its team.

As everyone knows, the Manila authorities could not tolerate the existence of the Lin Feng clique, and the reason why they tolerated Yang J when they were entrenched in Hawksbill Harbor was that they hoped to use Lin Feng's threat to the mainland coast to force the imperial court to allow Westerners to do business and preach in the interior, and even imagined that the Francophiles would occupy Macao Island and seek a colony along the coast of Fujian.

Of course, it is impossible for the imperial court to agree to the request of the Spaniards, let alone expect Lin Feng to expand his territory overseas, the situation of the tortoiseshell port will persist for a few days, and it will be able to usher in the merchant group of the Elder of the Moon Sky, and in the future, it will be a good strategy to use this as a base to compete with the Westerners on the sea, but no one expected that Lin Feng actually secretly colluded with the Japanese and tried to buy the ronin army to plot Manila, which caused the governor of Lavizares to be angry and angry, and the industry that Luo Amin and others worked hard to manage was wiped out overnight.

Fortunately, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er led the Dafu ship to Luzon and saved thousands of women, children, old and children......

In mid-September, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er returned to Japan, Guo Guoqiang was the first to learn the news, and immediately led Xu Yihou, Zhu Junwang, Jingkong, Han Xiaoyu, Zhang Min'er, Wu Lian, Liu Dartshi, Ma Dart, as well as the young Tang Qiong, Tang Yao, Hu'er, Ah Zhen and dozens of sailors, all went to the Jinfang Town Wharf to greet them, and returned to Qiumupu Village, where everyone gathered together for a reunion dinner.

The next day, Guo Guoqiang came to Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er to discuss where to go in the future, because the imperial court has now begun to strictly prohibit the sea, and finally decided to take everyone to Naha Port first, and in the future to develop trade in Fujian, Zhejiang and Nanyang, gather funds to build a big ship, and the goal is to aim at the new continent on the other side of the ocean.

Then, they told the story of their trip to Ryukyu and Luzon and other places, Guo Guoqiang listened to it with great embarrassment, all along, the most worried is that the monkey and others will make a bad deal and send the ronin to Akimepo to make trouble, but fortunately, the monkey is now taking care of himself.

Oda Nobunaga had already occupied Kyoto, and he was building a large construction project on the shore of Lake Biwa, building Azuchi Castle to show "the world", and the removal of the shogunate was a fait accompli, and the abolition of the emperor was just around the corner.

Hideharu Hatano, who had originally supported Nobunaga, raised the flag of rebellion in Tanba, and immediately afterwards, Ishiyama Honganji Temple also raised troops again......

Echigo's dragon Uesugi Kenshin was originally an ally of Nobunaga, and the two teamed up to deal with Kai Tiger Takeda Shingen, and now, they have also turned against Nobunaga......

With Uesugi Kenshin of the northern country as the leader of the alliance, echoing the western daimyo Mori Terumoto, the anti-Nobunaga alliance was formed by Takeda Katsuyori of Kofu, Hidero of Ishiyama Honganji, Hatano Hideharu of Tanba, Kishu Saga and others, and the arrogant Oda Nobunaga fell into a secondary seine ......

In order to stop the arrogant people who defy the sky and destroy the Buddha, and let the so-called "world Buwu" be stillborn, Guo Guoqiang and others are still carrying out a secret operation, only because Guo Yi has attempted to assassinate Oda Nobunaga several times, resulting in their extremely strong defense.

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er reunited with their relatives for two days, and quietly went to Sakai Town again in order to transport Lu Yunlong and Wang Chong's coffins back to their hometown as soon as possible.

At this time, Mark and Louise had returned, and the elders of the Communists read the letter and learned that they could still get the quotation of the Ming Dynasty City Division, and praised Louise's heroic "deeds", hoping to count on them in the future to pry open the door of the Ming Dynasty customs.

Since Lin Feng had moved to the underground, Konishi Ryuza also returned to Japan from Manila, listened to his son's report on the situation in the Ryukyus, and learned that Arayu, who had cooperated with Oda Nobunaga, had fallen, and was overjoyed and immediately went to Nagahama Castle to meet Hideyoshi.

Since Oda Nobunaga fell into a crisis, he was in urgent need of a new arquebus, because the trade agreement between him and Father Simon Almeida could not be implemented, he hoped to undertake this task through the Ryukyu State Prime Minister Ma Liangbi, but unexpectedly Ma Liangbi suddenly fell, and suddenly fell into a predicament, Oda Nobunaga scolded Simon Almeida and sent him to Manila to find a way, therefore, Mark came back this time, still failed to see his master, and the Y shadow of the compensation for the payment was still shrouded in his heart.

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er arrived in Sakai Town, first went to contact Konishi father and son, and waited for two days, Konishi Ryoza came back from Nagahama Castle, because Konishi Yukichang made a "miracle feat" this time, and now he has officially become a samurai, so Konishi Lonzo, who was very excited, received them both very ceremoniously.

So, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er asked them to fulfill their promise as soon as possible, but Konishi Ryonzo put forward new conditions, first of all, there must be an official letter of Ryukyu to arrive, in order to completely cut off Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, and at the same time, they asked to open a trading warehouse in Naha Port, and the arquebus trade between Manila, Ryukyu and Japan will be monopolized by their Konishi family in the future.

The credentials of the Ryukyus should arrive soon, but helping the Konishi family to do "business" in the Ryukyus could not be promised under any circumstances.

Although Ronzo Konishi and Simon Almeida were both leaders of the congregation and traveled back and forth between Manila and Sakai Town, they were their own masters.

Hideyoshi, the monkey that Konishi Lonzo is loyal to, contacts the pirate Lin Feng, one has not yet become a climate, and the other cannot be put on the table; Simon Almeida cooperated with Minister Nizai Konoe in Japan, and had the support of the Jesuits and the authorities in Manila, and if Ma Liangbi's Y succeeded, Naha Port would become a transit point between the two, and no one would be able to match them......

Finding that Ryuzo Nishishi was a scoundrel, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er had to go to Kyoto to reason with the monkey in person, and it happened that at this time, Ryukyu's credentials were delivered to Oda Nobunaga.

This letter of state stated the reasons for the fall of Ma Liangbi, and showed the determination and will of the Ryukyu king to maintain the Ming Dynasty, and refused to allow anyone to use the Ryukyus to launch wars against foreign countries......

Oda Nobunaga was annoyed and ashamed when he saw it, if tens of thousands of muskets were transported to his hands, why would there be any "secondary seine nets"? It seems that counting on Ma Liangbi and Simon Almeida has come to naught, and he hurriedly summoned his generals to Cheongju City for a meeting.

Maeda Toshiie, Shibata Katsuie, Mori Nagaka, Oda Nobutada, Takigawa Kazuki, Akechi Mitsuhide, Niwa Nagahide, Oda Nobutaka, Sakuma Nobumori, Hashiba Hideyoshi and other generals all arrived, Oda Nobunaga blew his beard in front of his mouth and asked, "In order to break the secondary seine net, I need an arquebus to continue to open up trade with the Ryukyus and the South Seas, which of you can do it?" Which one can do it? Which one can do it? ”

After asking three times in a row, the samurai who were prostrate at the feet of Oda Nobunaga were all staring wide-eyed, and no one dared to gnaw.

So, Oda Nobunaga stomped his feet, pointed at Niwa Nagahide, and scolded: "It's all because you bastard, it's you who said that the merchants of the Sakai Town Federation are unreliable, and they are afraid that the arquebus will fall into the hands of the enemy, so they ask for it to be shipped directly to Ise Bay, now, where is the arquebus I want?" Where is it? Where is it? ”

asked three times in a row, which scared Niwa Nagahide into his soul, and replied tremblingly: "Erchen must find a way to make meritorious service to the guilt." As he spoke, he glanced at Hideyoshi.

Because Mrs. Aichi married the Shibata Katsu family, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats, was always obsessed with this matter, he knew that Nobunaga looked down on him at all, let alone regarded himself as a confidant, and in the face of this group of colleagues, Hideyoshi knew that it was not easy to get ahead.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga kicked Niwa Nagahide and asked viciously, "How are you going to make meritorious deeds?" ”

Hideyoshi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw the scene in the "Divine Mirror": the invincible Oda Nobunaga was reduced to ashes in the raging fire, and then a rising sun rose......

Finding that Niwa Nagahide was still bowing his head and begging for help, Hideyoshi hurriedly replied: "Please calm your anger, what Niwa Nagahide said is not a lie, you can help in the Ryukyus, please rest assured." ”

Every time he was in trouble, Hideyoshi was able to relieve Oda Nobunaga's urgent needs, so after hearing these words, Oda Nobunaga's anger suddenly disappeared, and he asked softly, "Do you really have a way?" ”

Hideyoshi hurriedly kowtowed and replied loudly: "Don't dare to speak in front of adults, it's my duty to share worries and solve problems for adults." ”

Oda Nobunaga laughed loudly when he heard this, and looked at him reservedly, and Hideyoshi hurriedly showed a look of sincere fear.

"Good! If you can accomplish this, you will be the pioneer officer who will go overseas in the future. ”

"The kindness of the adults, Fujiyoshiro will repay him with death."

In the monkey's opinion, as long as there are enough arquebuses to break the secondary seine net and unify Japan, it is naturally not a problem, even if the prophecy of the divine mirror no longer exists, then what a majesty it should be to conquer the Ming Dynasty, descend to India, sweep away the islands of the South Seas, fight all the way to Europa, and command the expeditionary force in the future!

In order to let Guo Yi, Xu Ling'er and others work hard, Hideyoshi did not break his promise, left Qingzhou City and went to Kyoto, and with the help of the shogunate ministers Hosokawa Fujitaka, Araki Murashige and others, the coffins of Lu Yunlong and Wang Chong were transported out of the Ichiban Temple, but handed over to Konishi Ryuza.

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er had no choice but to chase them to Sakai Town, and at this time, Konishi Ryonzo made a specific request: Hideyoshi could provide full payment for the goods, and asked them to transport 5,000 arquebuses to Ise Bay within a month as soon as possible, whether from Naha Port or Manila, in order to return the two coffins. So, the two discussed the countermeasures, immediately agreed to Konishi Lonzo, and also put forward a condition: in order to show respect for the deceased, they asked for the two coffins to be temporarily stored in the church.

Considering himself to be very authoritative in the Crowd, Ronzo agreed and urged them to hurry up and buy muskets.

The people of Akimeura were ready to transfer, just waiting for the return of the two heroic spirits, and then they could leave this place of right and wrong collectively, in fact, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er did not leave Sakai Town, but secretly found Mark and Louise and asked for help.

Mark didn't say a word about this, he was ready to act, Louise made a request, she also wanted another merchant shipping ticket, Guo Yi and Xu Linger agreed to her without hesitation, so they acted together, cooperated very tacitly, and transported the two coffins out of the church without much trouble.

The next day, Konishi Lonzo found that the two coffins were missing, and immediately organized people to check around, and urgently ordered Konishi Yukicho to take a group of ronins and rush to Akimeura.

When Konishi Yukicho and others arrived in Akimeura, they found that they were ready to evacuate, and after some careful observation, they found that Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er should not have returned, so they decided to go to the village to deceive a few hostages in order to continue to blackmail them.

Since this group of people had come to Akimepo more than once, they asked to see Xu Yi when they entered the village, saying that with the help of Yushibatsukumaemo, the two coffins had been transported to Sakai Town, but Mrs. Ashi was seriously ill in Kyoto, and now, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er are accompanying Mrs. Ashi, hoping that Xu Yi can also go to Kyoto in the future.

Listening to their words, Xu Yihou and Zhu Junwang believed it to be true, and with a grateful heart for Mrs. Ashi, the two old men decided to go to Kyoto before leaving to help her cure her stubborn disease.

President Konishi and the others just left at noon, and in the evening, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er returned, and at this time, everyone realized that the two old men had been taken hostage.

Guo Guoqiang decided that he personally went to Sakai Town to rescue the two old men, and advised everyone to leave Qiumepu as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night and accidents, at this time, Xu Ling'er and Han Xiaoyu proposed to stay, considering that Elder Yuekong and others might come back suddenly, he couldn't be busy alone, so he agreed.

About to leave the Akimepo Wharf they built with their own hands, boarded the Tang boat they had worked so hard to build, everyone's mood was extremely sad, Guo Guoqiang, Xu Ling'er, Han Xiaoyu and all the villagers came to see them off, Guo Yi led everyone to stand at the stern of the boat to wave to them, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, a thousand words could not express the mood at the moment, until the Tang boat disappeared on the sea......

The Tang boat passed through the nose of the god and the headland and sailed into the vast sea, Guo Yi, who was full of tears, suddenly knelt down in front of the two coffins and cried bitterly, so all the members knelt down with her and prayed silently for the heroic spirit who returned to his hometown......

The autumn wind was wheezing, the yellow leaves were falling all over Qiumupu, Guo Guoqiang took Xu Linger and Han Xiaoyu to the dock again in the morning glow, and began their new journey......

The third volume of "Dark War" is over today, and the fourth volume of "Maritime Silk Road" will be opened tomorrow.
