297 Disciple of the Sword Saint Yanagi Zongyan
Even Zining didn't look at them, he just went straight over, the people of the Wudao clan, whether they were men, women, old or young, whether they were related to the Wudao clan or not, as long as they were people in this mountain city, the ending was already doomed. If it is still in China, this is called the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the remnants of the previous dynasty, how many can survive? The establishment of every new force is built on the blood and ruins of the old force. The Goto clan has a high prestige here, and if they are killed, it will be fine, but if they are left behind, it is really difficult to say. Lian Zining can still hold the army here, if he returns to China, he is afraid that he will be overturned immediately.
But now, they can't be killed.
Out of the mountain city, down the Hizen Stone Mountain, came to the aristocratic settlement below.
It's still the white walls and green tiles, or the wind chimes that blow all over the city, but this place has become a miserable hell on earth. Groups of Wu Yi troops surrounded the mansions of these nobles with the general banner or hundreds of households, and some nobles saw the opportunity quickly, that is, they opened the gate, and the family came out and knelt on the ground to surrender and beg for their lives. And some of the stubborn ones were forcibly smashed open by Wu Yijun, killed in, killed all the samurai and those who dared to resist, dragged the old people, children, fathers and daughters who had no ability to resist out of the door, and hacked them to death with halberds one by one on the street.
The blood gathered from the alleys, gathered on the neat street paved with bluestone, and flowed downward, the whole street had become a river of blood, Lian Zining stepped on it, only felt that the soles of his feet were sticky, and it was a little inconvenient to pull out his feet.
He stood in place, looking at all this coldly, and felt a little unbearable in his heart. However, this emotion is only fleeting, and it disappears immediately.
Oh, yes! You shouldn't have any psychological burden. When those Japanese robbers killed the people of the Ming Dynasty in the entire village and the entire county, when they put the babies on the fire and burned them alive, when they annihilated the silver and plundered the Ming women, where was the mercy? Since you have made a mistake, you have to be mentally prepared to pay it with blood!
What's more, if you go back a few hundred years, the heinous crimes committed by Yue Kou in China will not be washed away even by the waters of the four seas!
His eyes became cold and hard again, this nation will not stop until it will be beaten forever.
Continuing to walk downward, less than ten paces away beside him, a string of Fuso nobles and their families were tied up with ropes, and they were carried to the mountain castle in despair and anxiety. They will be imprisoned together with the heirs of the Goto clan to be of great use.
Out of this aristocratic quarter, the civilian area below was still noisy, a large number of people crowded on the road leading from here to the port, obviously, they were also extremely concerned about what was going on with those noble lords, but they couldn't see anything through a high wall.
Seeing Lian Zining and the others coming out, the crowd immediately quieted down, even if they didn't know Lian Zining, they could guess that this young man in the center with a luxurious coat and a jade crown, surrounded by countless soldiers, was the lord of the domineering Wu Yi Army, and it was also possible that he would be the master of Hizen Port in the future.
Seeing them come out, the crowd unconsciously moved out of the way, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lian Zining.
Lian Zining pursed his lips, held his head high, looked resolute, and strode forward, surrounded by guards with sonorous armor and halberds covering the sky.
The soldiers of the 3,000th household were maintaining order, and when they saw Lian Zining coming, the officers were sweating profusely, and hurriedly commanded people to maintain order, and in front of Lian Zining, they carved out a road separated by a human wall.
"My lord, it's dangerous here, please go back to the mountain city first!" Dong Ce got the news, hurriedly ran over, and persuaded hard.
Lian Zining waved his hand and smiled loudly: "With so many soldiers around, if this official doesn't even have the courage to do this, what kind of battle will he fight?" ”
Lian Zining went all the way, until the port was the most crowded and the most prosperous place did not stop, the Fushan ship was still there, but the goods of Chengyu and Lian's chaebol were gone, Lian Zining knew clearly in his heart, doing business is doing business, occupying land is occupying land, and the two are fine. It was a long time ago that Dong Ce had been asked to move Cheng Yu and the others to a safe place.
Above the harbor, there were already a lot of crew coolies carrying goods to the ship, and some merchant ships had already raised their sails, apparently preparing to leave this place of right and wrong first.
Lian Zining couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on the time he came, if he was left by these merchants, he didn't know how much loss he would have. These people can't stay if they are forced to stay, and if they use force once, and then they don't come again, it will be a big loss.
When the merchant ships saw that there seemed to be a big man on the shore, their movements slowed down.
Lian Zining saw that there was no further ado, so he ordered someone to erect a high platform and stood up by himself.
"People!" Lian Zining's voice was sonorous with the sound of gold and iron, which made the slight noise around him immediately become quiet, the sea breeze was light, and his voice echoed over the port under the lead-gray sky: "I want to tell you, Godao Clan, it's over!" Goto Cunxuan, Goto Katsushige, and Goto Qingchi have all been killed by me, and the entire Goto clan is about to perish! Including the nobles of the Goto clan, they can't escape their death! ”
"However, the Goto clan is gone, and Hizen Port is still Hizen Port!" Lian Zining's voice was full of power: "Voice, you can continue to do it, the taxes that should be paid, you still have to pay, but everything is the same as before, it's just that the tax collector has become my soldier!" That's all! ”
"Whether it is the Franco, or the Dutch, or the people of other European countries, or the people of the Ming Dynasty, or the natives of Fusang, you are all the same in my eyes. Just now I ordered my soldiers to execute a group of Ming people who took advantage of the chaos to burn and plunder, and this is the proof! So, do what you have to do, go and do it, don't gather here, everything is the same as before! ”
Lian Zining's voice fell, and there was silence below, and then there was a noisy whisper. The local residents of Hizen Port and outsiders lived together, and the number of Fuso people accounted for half, and the rest were foreigners, and most of the people who came to the East to do business were fluent in Chinese. There was a Fusang merchant who didn't understand Chinese, and after listening to the translations of the people around him, he was smiling with big black teeth and relieved. Because of the cruel exploitation, the Fuso people have almost no trace of affection for the superiors, and for them, the people above are dead when they die, and it is the same for everyone anyway.
Eventually, the earnest whispers of the crowd turned into bursts of cheers, and many of them ran towards the merchant ships that were about to leave, apparently to get them back quickly.
Lian Zining decided to strike while the iron was hot, he pressed down with both hands, and asked in a loud voice, "Where are the stonemasons?" ”
Fusang is mountainous, and most of the mansions of the noble lords are built of mountain stones, and the residences of the daimyo must be mountain castles, and there is naturally no shortage of stonemasons.
He shouted, and a man with a stocky figure and a gray cloth robe squeezed out of the team, first knelt down and kowtowed to Lian Zining three times in a row, and said loudly: "The grass people have given a salute to the adults." ”
"Oh? Are you from Mingguo? Lian Zining asked.
"Yes!" The stonemason replied: "The little one committed something in the Ming Dynasty and killed someone, so he had no choice but to follow the fleet to Fusang, and it has been five years now!" ”
"Oh?" Lian Zining felt that this person was honest and a little interesting, so he asked, "Why did you kill someone?" ”
"It's a joke for adults to say it." A trace of anger flashed on the man's face: "The grass people's mother-in-law stole the man, let the grass people catch him, and then smashed the annihilator and silver woman to death with a hammer." ”
"Oh? According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Tong Annihilation was arrested, and the evidence is conclusive. Even if you kill them, you are not guilty! But why did you end up here? ”
The man scratched his head: "The little people were angry, so they ran to the husband's house and wiped out all the wives and two daughters." The county lord wanted to take me, but the grass people had no choice but to escape! ”
Lian Zining couldn't help but stagnate, the silver wife and daughter were married and the silver were also unhappy, and it couldn't be said that he did wrong, after all, in terms of the values of this era, what he did was not out of line. It's just that this person's spleen surname is only afraid that he is extremely irritable and ruthless, which can be seen from this.
"Okay, maybe it's engraving?"
"Adults are too small to look down on the grass people, and the grass people should be said to be the first-class good hands in Ping*Du*zhou!"
"Okay, do you see that big rock?" Lian Zining pointed to a large stone in the port that was more than one person high and asked, that big stone is one of the symbols of Hizen Port, and the side facing the sea on the front side is engraved with the words Hizen Port in Chinese and Yuewen. "Go there, the official will read a sentence, and you will carve a sentence!"
"Yes, sir!" The man answered, ran over with a smoke, and took out his own thing, an iron chisel, a big iron hammer, the hammer head was the size of an adult's head, and it was full of weight.
"Article 1: Hizen Port Ming people, Fuso people, Franc machine people and other cadres, etc., all rest together, no distinction between high and low!"
"Article 2, soldiers are not allowed to disturb civilians, violators will be beheaded!"
"Article 3, in the port of Hizen, ensure the safety of life and property of all business travelers!"
Lian Zining read here, the man really has some ability, and his hands are also very fast, using a thin charcoal pen to outline the outline of these words, and then quickly chisel it.
After a while, three columns of big characters appeared on this big stone, and the pen body dragon and snake flew away, strong and powerful, and it turned out to be a good willow body. Lian Zining couldn't help but be a little surprised, it seems that this stonemason is also very inky.
Lian Zining said loudly: "Today, it is said that it is here, and the monument is engraved as evidence, but all business travelers who come to my Feiqian Port to do business, as long as they pay taxes honestly and do not do illegal and undisciplined things, I Lian Zining hereby promises that I will not move a finger of you!" ”
He smiled: "This official's family is also doing business, this Feiqian Port is a big business, how can it lose money?" ”
These words made the businessmen and people of Hizen Port feel relieved, and they also dispersed one after another, and went to busy their business.
Suddenly, the port regained its vitality and prosperity.
Lian Zining saw that the stonemason was still standing in place, so he smiled and said, "Good job, come, reward ten taels of silver!" ”
The man knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The grass people don't want to ask for silver taels, they just want to join the Wuyi Army and kill the Japanese with the adults!" ”
Lian Zining's eyes narrowed, stared at him and asked, "Why is this?" ”
The man raised his head and said: "After the grass people came to Fusang, they also made some names with their skills, there was a storefront, a big mansion, and they also married a wife, but unexpectedly, in the first month of this year, a Fusang daimyo who passed by here, looked at my wife, broke into the door directly, and humiliated him to death in front of the grass people!" The grass is alive, and he can't stand this kind of pickled anger the most, so he made an oath that he would eventually kill his wife and daughter one by one in front of the big name! But the grass people also know that the road ahead is boundless, the adult Wu Yi Army is so powerful, if the grass people don't seize this opportunity, they are afraid that they will not be able to return in this life! ”
Lian Zining asked, "You haven't said who that daimyo is, how do you know that I am going to find the bad luck of that daimyo?" ”
The man smiled casually: "Your Excellency doesn't need to fight, as long as the grass people join the Wuyi Army and become a big official, they will go to find the bad luck of the big name." ”
This man is straightforward and cute, Lian Zining couldn't help laughing: "Isn't his tone small!" ”
The man laughed: "The grass people are not people who blow nonsense, my lord, do you have a sword?" ”
Lian Zining was also quite curious in his heart, and threw the horse chopping knife at his waist and threw it to him: "There is a sword but no sword!" ”
With a dragon groan, the gray-robed man pulled out the knife from the sheath, gently pressed his finger on the blade, and praised: "Good knife!" Although this knife only has one side of the edge, it is a straight edge, and it can be regarded as a sword! ”
He threw the scabbard away, held the handle of the knife with both hands, the long knife was erected, the center of his eyebrows and the blade formed a straight line, and said to Lian Zining in a deep voice: "My lord, please look!" ”
Lian Zining couldn't help but sigh, as soon as the gray-robed man held a knife in his hand, the momentum of the whole person was suddenly different, and his body revealed an indescribable fierce and fierce murderous aura, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, if you close your eyes, that feeling is really like facing a tiger!
Only four words flashed in Lian Zining's mind: like being in the abyss!
The gray-robed man moved suddenly, the long knife in his hand flew, accompanied by the movements under his feet, Lian Zining could see that this was a complete set of swordsmanship. The movements of his feet looked rather clumsy, as if he was wading through muddy muddy water, and it looked very difficult. With his feet spread apart, it looks a little funny, just like a duck step, but Lian Zining knows that this has a name in Oriental martial arts, which is called mud under his feet. Being able to do this step shows that this person's next game is already quite accomplished, and the next game is very stable.
And his sword momentum is also like his people, the speed is not fast, and he explains it very clearly in one move, but it is powerful, fierce, and domineering, it seems that even if there is a big mountain in front of him, he can split it with a sword!
The sword skills and knife skills in the era of cold weapons, one sword and one sword, are extremely physically demanding, such as the conjecture of seven or eight hundred moves and one thousand moves in battle, which will only appear in martial arts novels, and evenly matched opponents will actually be exhausted after three or five strokes.
The gray-robed man's swordsmanship lasted only three minutes, and his forehead was already sweaty, and the gesture was a two-handed split after stepping down, but the gray-robed man's target was the big stone before, with a sonorous explosion, and countless sparks flew down. Lian Zining's fine steel chopping knife was broken from it, and the big stone was also cut off a piece the size of a human head!
Lian Zining couldn't help but be shocked when he looked at it, with such arm strength and such skills, everyone under his command, including himself, was afraid that none of them were his opponents!
It's really a master in the market!
The gray-robed man knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I broke the adult's sword, and please forgive my lord!" ”
Lian Zining's heart was already moved, but his face did not show great eagerness, he just said lightly: "Get up and speak, it's just a knife, it's worth it!" What is your name and where did you learn this kind of swordsmanship? ”
The gray-robed man was a little surprised by his attitude, he was full of confidence, thinking that if he showed this hand, this adult would definitely be very polite to him, but he didn't expect that his attitude was still lukewarm. I was very sure in my heart, but now I can't help but beat the drums.
He stood up and replied honestly: "Caomin's surname is Jia Mingqing, after coming to Fusang, due to fate, he worshiped the Fusang Sword Saint, and Lord Yan, Yan, who practiced swords for three years, made a small success." ”
"Oh? It turned out to be the teacher of Yanagi Zongyan, which is no wonder. Lian Zining nodded.
As a veteran netizen who is particularly proficient in history after the world's extensive books, he is naturally no stranger to Yanagi Zongyan.
This big guy is a famous kendo master in the Fuso Warring States period, and is known as the sword saint. He first followed Toda Ichitosai, and later studied swordsmanship with Shinjuro Kamitori. Later, he met with Kamiizumi Nobutsuna of the new Yin Ryu and was first defeated by his disciple Toyogoro Hita Kaida, but then asked for another battle with Nobutsuna, and was defeated by Nobutsuna again. Therefore, Zong Yan became a disciple of Shingang. His talent is different, and two years later, he was granted the seal of the new Yin Stream by the Xingang and inherited the New Yin Stream. The new Yin Ryu is inherited from the 'Yagyu New Yin Ryu' by Yagyu Soyan, and the one founded by Toyogoro Hikita is the 'Kida Yin Ryu'.
After that, he was a retainer of Tsutsui Shunkei and later Miyoshi Chokei. Later, he became Oda Nobunaga's guide to enter Yamato Province. Later Zong Yan retired. Decades later, when he met Tokugawa Ieyasu, Ieyasu asked Soyan to become his swordsmanship guide, but Soyan refused on the grounds of his advanced age, and recommended five male Soju to be his successor.
Since this person learned the New Yin Stream Sword Technique, he has been rampant in Fusang for decades, and he has only lost three battles in his life, and these three defeats are all defeated in the hands of muskets! Once he was shot in the fist with a musket while being beaten by the crowd, and since then he has lost a hand, once he was hit by someone and fell from his horse and was dying, and the last time he was hit on the battlefield and almost could no longer use his sword.
