On the nameless desert island where the "Flying Fish" and "Fukuharu" were stopped for repairs, the Japanese child Kaede Amakusa and his attendant samurai Yamada Futaro are standing on the beach. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking back at the desert island where he had lived for nearly a year, Amakusa Kaede looked reluctant.

"Uncle Yamada, are we really going to get out of here? Will the Ming lord take us in? Amakusa Kaede asked.

Yamada Kazetaro sighed: "Young master, you have gradually grown up, you can't stay on this desert island all the time, there is no place for us to stand in Japan, we can only find the Ming master, pray for him to take us in, and follow him to Daming." ”

"Go to Daming, I heard that Daming is a **** country, treasure Tianhua, prosperous tight, if we can really live in Daming, it would be great." Amakusa Kaede's big clear eyes sparkled, and his face was full of longing.

"But Uncle Yamada, what if we are recognized in Nagasaki?" Amakusa Kaede suddenly asked, maybe not many people know Amakusa Kaede, but there are too many people in Japan who know Yamada Kazetaro.

Yamada Kazetaro was silent for a long time, and suddenly gritted his teeth, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and slashed it against his face. In the midst of Amakusa Kaede's screams, two long knife cuts appeared on his face, and the flesh and blood flew up, and the blood dripped onto the beach at his feet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yamada Kazetaro carefully crossed a boulder, dragged a small boat out of the grass behind the boulder, and pushed the boat into the water.

Amakusa Kaede rolled up his trouser legs, revealing his snow-white ankles, waded through the shallow water on the shore, and climbed into the boat.

Yamada shook the oars, and the boat rowed out into the sea. A wave rolled in, the boat was swept to the top of the wave, and then fell to the bottom of the wave, Yamada Futaro firmly held the oar, and the boat never changed its direction --- Nagasaki.

Ren Siqi has been very busy lately, and he has to constantly visit various ship owners in order to obtain possible support. However, in the past few days, I have visited several people in a row, but they have all been politely refused. Zheng Hongkui has made it clear that he will not help, and some of the other shipowners are afraid of offending the Dutch, and they do not dare to help Qiyun Commercial Bank. Some speculate that the Zheng family does not like Qiyun Trading Company, although they sympathize with Qiyun Trading Company's plight, and they are also dissatisfied with the Dutch's domineering behavior at sea, but they are afraid that they will harm the Zheng family, so they dare not help.

Ren Siqi was not discouraged, there were so many ships from Daming, he didn't believe that he couldn't find a bloody Daming shipowner. For safety reasons, Ren Siqi has now moved back to live on the ship. He got up early in the morning, and was just about to get off the boat after eating, when someone suddenly reported that two widows had come to the boat.

Could it be a Japanese samurai who enlisted? No, in order not to attract the attention of the Dutch, the notice for recruiting samurai did not indicate that it was Qiyun Trading House recruiting. And with Li Xingjiu in charge of recruitment, it is impossible for them to find the ship.

Although a little surprised, Ren Siqi still had them led them onto the boat.

It turned out to be them, Ren Siqi recognized it at a glance as the child Amakusa Kaede on the nameless desert island, and he liked this beautiful Japanese child who could barely distinguish the gender Ren Siqi very much, and when he left the desert island, he once told him that his destination was Nagasaki, but he didn't expect him to really find Nagasaki. But when he saw Yamada Futaro's scar, Ren Siqi was shocked.

"It's you, are you cured? What's the matter with your face? Ren Siqi asked kindly.

"The illness is all cured, and Yamada thanks the lord for saving his life. Although my face is cut, my knife is still there, and I can still serve my benefactor in the future! Yamada Kazetaro lifted the front hem of his tattered samurai costume and knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to Ren Siqi. Since it was decided to take refuge under Ren Siqi in the future, Yamada Futaro saluted Ren Siqi with the etiquette of meeting his master.

"Hurry up, please!" Ren Siqi pulled him up, "You should be a samurai, I just don't have people here." Everyone has their own privacy, and Ren Siqi decided not to ask about the reason why Yamada Futaro cut his face, and the left and right are just infighting between the Japanese, and it has nothing to do with him.

"Is the owner going to recruit samurai, I saw a notice in Nagasaki Castle." Yamada Kazetaro smiled, the bright red muscles of his face squirming in the scar that made his smile so terrifying.

"How do you know we're hiring?" Ren Siqi asked in surprise, and then suddenly he must have seen Li Xingjiu, who was in charge of recruiting. Li Xingjiu once went to a desert island with him, but he didn't expect Yamada Futaro, who was seriously ill, to remember him.

"In this way, you go to Li Xingjiu, and you will be responsible for recruiting people with him in the future." Ren Siqi thought about it and said that he had a life-saving grace for Yamada Futaro, and he should be trustworthy.

"I ask the owner to take in the young master first, as for me, I will go to the recruitment and accept the test of Xingjiujun, I want to prove my strength!" Yamada Futaro rejected Ren Siqi's arrangement.

Everyone has their own pride, and since Yamada insists on this, Ren Siqi can only let it go.

Putting Amakusa Kaede in the boat, Kazetaro Yamada resolutely left.

Amakusa Feng looked at Ren Siqi timidly, pinching the corners of his clothes and not daring to say anything.

Looking at this widow child, Ren Siqi was thoughtful. His name is Amakusa Kaede, Amakusa Kaede, Amakusa? Ren Siqi's eyes widened suddenly.

"Is your father Shiro Amakusa?" Ren Siqi asked suddenly.

Hearing Ren Siqi say the name of Amakusa Shiro, Amakusa Kaede immediately jumped up in panic, looking around with a pair of eyes, looking for a way to escape.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'm a wise man, and I'm rich enough, and I'm not interested in catching you and sending you to the shogunate." Seeing Amakusa Kaede like this, Ren Siqi knew that he had guessed correctly. Amakusa Kaede is the son of Shiro Amakusa, who led tens of thousands of peasant rebels to defend the lonely city alone against more than 100,000 shogunate troops during the Shimabara Rebellion.

"You, will you drive me away?" Amakusa Kaede asked timidly.

"No!" Ren Siqi shook his head and said, "I will bring you back to Daming, and you will never have to worry about being hunted down in the future." ”

Amakusa Kaede was suddenly overjoyed and jumped up: "I, I will do a lot of things, and I won't eat in vain!" ”

"You can't use the name Amakusa Kaede in the future, let's call it Tian Feng in the future. Forget about the past and start your new life. Ren Siqi took a pen and paper and wrote down Tian Feng's two big characters.

"Tian Feng, Tian Feng!" Amakusa Kaede muttered, tears welling up from the corners of her eyes.

Leaving Tian Feng on the boat, Ren Siqi took Xiong Er off the boat, and he wanted to continue to visit the owner of the ship from Daming.

The owner of the ship from Zhejiang, Zeng, who visited this time, is also Ren Siqi's fellow villager.

For Ren Siqi's arrival, the owner of the ship Zeng was very enthusiastic. They are all from Zhejiang, and they are in a foreign country, so they are naturally cordial to each other.

"Brother Ren, since we are fellow villagers, and I am a few years older than you, I will call you a brother." The owner of the ship said: "I know your intention, it has not been a day since the Dutch robbed our Ming ships, and we all hate it very much." A few of our Zhejiang compatriots have discussed, if you have to fight with the Dutch, everyone will definitely support you. ”

The words of the owner of the ship made Ren Siqi overjoyed, it was better to be a fellow villager, and he should have known that he should have visited these fellow villagers first.

"However," the owner of the Zeng ship changed his words, which made Ren Siqi's heart suddenly lift.

"However, we are all small businessmen, and we all have our own owners behind us, and we can't make decisions about many things. It's definitely not okay to help you openly. We've discussed that we can sell you some old sea boats. The owner of the ship said to Ren Siqi with a face full of shame.

Maritime merchants came to Japan from the Ming Dynasty, bringing special products such as raw silk, porcelain, tea, etc., and many times there was no product to bring on the return trip, after all, there were not many Japanese specialties except silver, which was very rare in the Ming Dynasty. Many of the seagoing ships often returned empty-handed with silver. Every time a sea ship goes to sea, it has to take a great risk, rather than taking the risk of driving the old sea ship back to Daming, it is better to sell it on the spot, return to Daming and buy a new one, in this case, why not sell the old ship to Ren Siqi, but also do a little bit of fellow countrymen.

Zeng Shipowner and others couldn't help Ren Siqi clearly, so they came up with such an idea, Ren Siqi has a sea ship, as long as he recruits some more sailors, his strength can be greatly increased.

"Brother Zeng, you, what do you want me to say? You've helped me a lot! Ren Siqi said gratefully. (To be continued.) )
