Chapter 707: Saeki Xingtai (2)

After Saeki was rescued by the forest, he quickly became the new captain of the ship with his natural charisma as a commander and strong martial prowess, as well as the fact that the forest was worried about being held accountable by Preira for the shipwreck. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 In the following years, he quickly went from a single ship to a fleet of more than 500 sailors, including 5 karak galleons plus more than 20 small and medium-sized ships, and more than 500 sailors.

It's just that this fleet seems to be strong, but in fact, in the face of colonists such as Spain, Portugal, England, and the Netherlands, Saeki Xingtaihao has no chance of winning at all. If nothing else, he simply doesn't have much money to fight a protracted war.

And after these colonists continued to expand their territory in Southeast Asia, Saeki had to think of a new way out. When he went home, it was the first thing that popped into his mind.

Yes, revenge, but secondary, and most importantly, Saeki had to find a way out for his fleet of more than 500 brothers. Well, if he was willing to become a real pirate, then things would be easy, but unfortunately he was completely unwilling to rob those ordinary merchants. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been beaten by those colonists and had to run away in disgrace.

It's just that, despite this, Saeki Xingtai is obviously unwilling to join a force at will, even if he has decided to find a backer after consulting with the forest. But even so, he did not want his brothers to fall back into the chaos of Japan after they had just escaped the war of colonization in the West.

"Back to Oda-sama, I'm used to being free with my brothers, and the reason why I left Southeast Asia was because I wanted to be able to leave the chaos of war...... "Saeki Kyota said respectfully.

By the way, the full name of Europa is Europa, and the current Asia in the Ming Kingdom, Japan, and other places is called Asia Minor. The name is said to have been passed down from the ancient Phoenicians. At that time, because of their frequent maritime activities, they named the eastern part of the Aegean Sea Asia Minor, which means the land of the rising sun. To the west of the Aegean Sea, it is called Europa, which means land of the sunset.

Africa, the full name of Africa, has three legends, one is that the city of ancient chiefs is called Africa. The other is the name of a goddess worshipped by the Berbers of North Africa. The last one is derived from the Latin word aparika, which means a place where the sun burns.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly smiled, "Haha, is it a son of the sea who advocates freedom?" Actually, I'm very envious of you people~"

After saying this, she couldn't help but let Ning Ning on the side look sideways, she couldn't understand that there was anything to envy about drifting on the endless sea every day.

"I don't think there's anything conflicting about it, though. Kyotaro, I can see a kind of ambition in your eyes. So I believe that you will never be content with an ordinary life. I can promise you that if you really just want a stable life, then I will still help you get revenge. At that time, you and your brothers can stay and live in Ise. When the time comes, I will give you some money, which will be enough for you to live. However, as a condition, your ship will have to belong to me. Oda Yoshinobu looked at Saeki and smiled.

After saying that, Oda Yoshinobu didn't wait for Saeki to say anything, and said again, "But if you have ambitions and want to re-act like your family and lead your brothers to a better life." Then I don't think you should refuse my solicitation. I'll make you one of my admirals if you want. As for your brothers, if they are not willing to participate in the war, I will also give them a living allowance, and they can stay in Ise and live a peaceful life. ”

Hearing this, Saeki and Forest glanced at each other, and said respectfully, "Oda-sama, I don't know if I can let you think about it?" As you know, the future of more than 500 of us is at stake. ”

"Hehe, of course you can." Oda Yoshinobu laughed.

After Saeki and Xing Tai Yu left, Ning Ning looked at Oda Yoshinobu strangely and asked, "Lord, it seems that you are very interested in them?" ”

"Really?" Oda Yoshinobu raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this.

"yes!" Ning Ning glanced at Oda Yoshinobu and said, "Although they have ships and people, for this family, it is actually the same thing. Even if it is to deal with the Maori family, it only needs a simple cooperation. Even with the strength of his own family, he can carry out this level of sneak attack alone. ”

Hawkers, in fact, the plan to attack Kyushu had already been proposed by Li Huamei before. However, in their opinion, this is only carried out when the frontal battlefield cannot withstand the enemy's attack. Because unless it was a last resort, Oda Yoshinobu did not want to expose the Ryukyus. But even so, with the number of navies Ise currently has, it would not be too easy to fight a small sneak attack.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said noncommittally, "That's true~"

As for the idea of Southeast Asia, Oda Yoshinobu does not plan to say it for the time being. Because all this idea didn't make much sense until Japan was unified.

Seeing this, Ning Ning pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She is a very intelligent woman who will never do anything beyond her identity. Even if she has become the leader of the ninja army now, she has great respect for the Chiyo Mochizuki women, not to mention Li Huamei and them. Because she knows very well that although Oda Yoshinobu is very fond of women, if there is really anyone who is pampered and arrogant, then her fate will definitely be miserable.

On the other hand, back on the boat, Saeki Kyota immediately consulted with the forest.

"Mori, what do you think of Oda-sama's proposal?" Saeki asked in a deep voice, he trusted Sen unreservedly.

Shaking his head, the forest looked at Saeki Xing Tai with a funny face and said, "You have already made a decision, and you are still asking me what to do?" ”

"Uh......" Saeki Xingtai paused for a moment, and then looked at Lin Lin Dao a little helplessly, "You are my co-captain, even if I have a decision, I have to get your consent." ”

Hearing this, the forest suddenly showed a wicked smile, "Then what if I say no?" ”

"Humph! Then we'll give up! Saeki Xing Tai Yan snorted coldly angrily. After speaking, he said with some worry, "But I think Oda-sama's proposal is already very good, even if you leave here......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the forest's playful smile, where did he not understand that he was being tricked?

"Okay, okay~ I won't tease you~" Seeing Saeki Xing Taiyan's annoyed and angry look, the forest hurriedly said. "But if you really want to join the Oda family, then you really have to think about it, and you know that at this time, Mori, Uesugi, Takeda, and many other forces are preparing to join forces against the Oda family. If we join the Oda family, what awaits us will be a brutal war. ”

"And ......," Forest's expression became solemn, "once the Oda family fails, then how are we going to deal with ourselves?" Escape again by boat? ”

"This ......" Saeki Kyotaro was speechless when he heard this, with his character, if Oda Yoshinobu really helped him avenge him and gave them shelter, then if the Oda family was defeated, he was sure that not only himself, but also his brothers would definitely rush to the battlefield. But what is the difference between helping Luzon conquer and resist the Europa colonists in Southeast Asia?

After half a ring, Saeki Xingtai muttered, "If you want to take revenge, the only chance is when the Maori family attacks the Oda family, and at that time, no matter whether Kyushu sends troops or not, the defense will inevitably weaken." At that time, it was my best chance! But if I want to capture Tsugamu Rei Castle and kill that bastard, I must get Oda Yoshinobu, and only Oda Yoshinobu can help me. ”

Muttering, Saeki Xingtai raised his head suddenly, and was about to say something, but the forest looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't tell me, you plan to abandon your brothers~" The tone was slightly ridiculous, but from the eyes, there was a hint of warning.

"I ......" Hearing this, Saeki Xing Tai Hao lowered his head again, obviously he thought so. Through Oda Yoshinobu's words, Saeki Kyota heard that he didn't care much about his fleet. It can also be said that even without the help of Saeki Xingtai, he was able to sneak attack the territory of the Kyushu Maori family. Although Saeki Kyotara doesn't know where Oda Yoshinobu's confidence comes from, if so, doesn't it mean that he can join the Oda family alone?

Unfortunately, the forest directly broke his mind and warned him. Although there was a hint of ridicule in his tone, Saeki Xingtai knew that if he really dared to say that, the end would definitely be miserable. Although the forest usually looks like he is always smiling, but after many years of getting along, Saeki Xingtai knows very well how dark the man in front of him is.

Seeing Saeki's appearance, the forest said impatiently, "Kyotaro, have you forgotten our oath at that time?" Blessings and hardships are shared together! And when you first went to Japan, everyone volunteered to come with you to take revenge. And now, because it's a little dangerous, we're going to abandon you? This is not the quality of a man at sea. ”

Hearing this, Saeki Xingtai looked up at the forest, and only after half a sound did he spit out a word, "Good brother!" ”

It's a pity that Saeki Xingtai's touching words were only exchanged for a roll of the forest's eyes, "Idiot, I'm your deputy captain!" ”

After making a decision, Saeki Kyotaro went to Osaka Castle again, "Oda-sama, I have already decided, as long as you help me take revenge, I am willing to become your retainer!" ”

"Hehe, that's good! Kyotaro, you'll know later how smart this decision was! Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu nodded and smiled, "Then, according to the troops and ships under your command, you will be the general of your own family in the future, and you will be paid 10,000 koku." ”

"This ......" Saeki Xingtai looked at Oda Yoshinobu in surprise when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect that his fortune would be so much. 10,000 stones! You must know that the Saeki family only has a territory of about 10,000 koku. Even if he brought troops to vote, in the eyes of Saeki Xingtai, this was still too much.

Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu just chuckled and said, "You'll know in the future that this is really not much." ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Oda Yoshinobu didn't mean to explain, Saeki Xingtai didn't ask too much, after all, he had more than 500 brothers to support, and if he had more, everyone's life would be better.

"Well, then, you are now an official samurai, and you should take an official samurai name." Oda Yoshinobu looked at Saeki Xing Tai and smiled, "It's called Saeki Yukai, I hope you can help my family sweep the four seas in the future!" ”

"Yes!" Saeki Xingtai, oh, it was Saeki Yukai who responded respectfully, but after answering, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Oda Yoshinobu strangely, obviously, Oda Yoshinobu's sentence swept the four seas and gave him too many illusions. It's just that Oda Yoshinobu still didn't mean to explain, but just asked the god of death to take him back to rest first, and take him to meet the admiral tomorrow.

In Osaka Castle, a large area was specially prepared in the inner castle for the retainers to live. Today, however, the vast majority of the dwellings are still empty. There's no way, who let Oda Yoshinobu, this kid not take the initiative to accept the retainers? Of course, the residence of the troops will naturally not be in the inner city, but in the outer city. Although Saeki Yukai's residence can also accommodate dozens of people, it is obvious that he is not so lacking in heart.

After arranging the brothers' residence, Saeki Yukai took the forest to his residence. "So from today onwards, this is our home!" Saeki Yukai shouted with some excitement, after many years of wandering life, he finally got a stable life that he didn't need to think about anything. Although he has officially stepped into the troubled times because of this, Saeki Yukai is obviously still very happy.

"Kyotaro...... Weihai ...... Well, your name really doesn't have as smooth as Kyotaro. Forest said with a serious face.

"Ahem, after all, it's the name given to me by the lord~ Don't say it so bluntly!" Saeki Weihai grinned helplessly, he didn't have any feelings about the name, because in his understanding, more strange names were commonplace.

The next day, Saeki Yukai was led by the Grim Reaper to Ojuku Port in Shima County. Okay, the name of this port was recently changed by Oda Yoshinobu, and it sounds a bit of a bad taste, but Ozuru just ate it. By the way, by this time, Shima-gun had become a naval base under the command of Oda Yoshinobu, and all the facilities here were built for the purpose of training the navy or building warships.

After seeing the Great Zhu Tsuru, although he was a little surprised that such a beautiful woman turned out to be the chief admiral of the Oda family, but on the way here, the accompanying Shinigami had already told Saeki Yukai about some of the characteristics of Oda Yoshinobu's command, so he didn't show too surprised expression.
