Chapter 134: Pursuit
Li Xingjiu asked Ren Siqi to help him destroy Hengshan Island, but Song Liben objected. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Why should Brother Xingjiu do this?" Ren Siqi glanced at Sakura, who was pale on the side, and said, "Do you really have a deep hatred between the two islands, do you have to die or die?" ”
"The grudge between the two sides has been connected for hundreds of years, and it cannot be resolved. Now that they have the help of the Japanese people, they will inevitably destroy our Ping Island and monopolize the nearby fishing grounds. If the owner can't help, Hirashima will definitely not be able to escape this fate. Looking at the beloved woman beside him, Li Xingjiu sighed, if it was only because of one Sakura, he could have sent Sakurako back for the sake of the peace of Pingdao, but he knew that it would be useless.
Sakurako sobbed on the side, and finally burst into tears.
Li Xingjiu hardened his heart, didn't look at the crying Sakura, and asked Ren Siqi again: "As long as the owner helps Pingdao escape this catastrophe, Xingjiu will be driven in this life!" ”
I still don't understand the grievances and grievances between them, but since the people of Pingdao are descendants of the Ming people, Ren Siqi naturally can't sit idly by, looking at Li Xingjiu's majestic body and the super combat power he showed just now, Ren Siqi's heart was pounding, this Li Xingjiu's martial arts are probably on par with Mao Eighteen, and maybe even higher than Mao Eighteen.
What Ren Siqi lacks most now is a general who can charge into battle, and his subordinates are only one Mao Eighteen when they are full, and being a bodyguard like Xiong Er is already the limit, relying on brute force to bully ordinary people, and when he really goes to the battlefield, he encounters experienced soldiers, and he is abused for his life.
"Well, I promise you!" made a decision in his heart, Ren Siqi decisively pulled Li Xingjiu up.
"Owner!" Song Liben shouted on the side.
Ren Siqi shook his hand at Song Liben, he knew Song Liben's good intentions, but Song Liben's eyes were limited to a corner of the Ming Dynasty after all, and he didn't understand the current situation in Japan. As far as Ren Siqi knows, Japan should now be under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, pursuing a policy of "closing the country to the outside", and Japan at this time is like China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, the emperor is only the nominal supreme leader, and the government is controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate, and under the Tokugawa shogunate are hundreds of vassal states, not a centralized state like the Ming Dynasty.
The large vassal state controlled as much land as a county in the Ming Dynasty, and the small vassal lord may control the land within a radius of ten or even several miles, that is, a township chief and village head.
The Japanese who invaded the Ryukyus were the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain on the Japanese island of Kyushu, and the Japanese who supported Yokoyama Island were also members of the Satsuma Domain. However, the place where Ren Siqi went to trade was not Kagoshima of the Shimazu family, but Nagasaki, which was not under the control of the Satsuma clan, but belonged to the Matsuura family.
Therefore, Ren Siqi disagreed with Song Liben's concerns. However, it can't be said that because of Song Liben's opposition, Li Xingjiu will be more grateful to himself for taking great risks to help him, and he will be more loyal to himself in the future!
"Don't worry, I'll try to spare your family's lives." In the end, it is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, Ren Siqi comforted the pale Sakura on the side.
"Sakurako thanked the owner." Sakurako bowed down with gratitude.
Since he decided to help Li Xingjiu destroy Hengshan Island, Ren Siqi did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the "Flying Fish" to turn the rudder and chase after the fleeing ships on Hengshan Island. It is the easiest way to exterminate them at sea, otherwise they will be allowed to flee to the island, and it will be much more troublesome and dangerous to go to the island to encircle and suppress them.
The Exocet was full of sails and speeding across the sea. Five Pingdao dhow fishing boats followed closely behind, chasing in the direction of the escape of the Yokoyama boats.
"Aren't you afraid that Sakurako will hate you in the future?" While Sakura went to the cabin to rest, Ren Siqi asked Li Xingjiu.
"No, it won't. The women of the Ryukyus are all married to chickens and dogs, and they will definitely not be in the same situation as their mothers. Li Xingjiu explained.
Yokoyama stood on the fishing boat in frustration, this sneak attack on Hirashima thought that it was nine out of ten, but he didn't expect to kill a big Ming boat halfway, which made it impossible to steal chickens, but lost the lives of several men on Yokoyama Island.
"Yokoyama-kun doesn't have to be frustrated, Akito can't stay in Hirashima all the time, they're just passing by. And I, the Japanese, will always support you. Shimazu Kazuki, the Japanese man next to Yokoyama Isamu was not affected by the defeat at all, and the several Japanese subordinates who died did not affect his mood at all, but comforted Yokoyama with kind words.
"Thank you, Shimazu-kun, thank you." Isamu Yokoyama knew that he couldn't do without the support of Kazuki Shimazu.
"Owner, they're catching up!" A Ryumpi man from Yokoyama Island pointed behind him and exclaimed.
Yokoyama suddenly turned around, and saw that the big ship with the flying fish flag was full of sails and was quickly chasing after him.
"Let's go, get rid of them!" Yokoyama shouted hoarsely. However, there is only a single sloop of the Hengshan Island fishing boat, and it is only equipped with a single sundrel. The "Flying Fish" is a Western plywood ship, using a combination of Chinese and Western sails, longitudinal sails and horizontal sails, and a huge spinnaker fluttering in the bow. In terms of speed, the "Exocet" is far superior to the dhow on Hengshan Island.
Isamu Yokoyama could only watch as the other party got closer and closer, and the huge shadow of the sail fell in the sky like a cloud in the sky.
A fishing boat was on the route of the "Exocet", and the Ryukyuan people, who could not dodge, were horrified to see the tall "Exocet" running over its head, and the huge ramming angle was crashing into their small boat.
Easily pressed over the small boat on Hengshan Island, as easily as kicking away a rabbit in the way, the "Exocet" continued to move on the surface of the sea at an unabated speed, leaving dozens of broken pieces of wood behind it.
Under the command of the Dutchman Olier, the "Exocet" completely relied on its own tonnage to crush the other side, and as long as the fishing boats hit by the "Exocet" turned into broken wood floating on the sea! , and then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
The six guns scattered on the second deck opened fire, one by one calling the fleeing fishing boats on either side.
In a very short period of time, 10 fishing boats on Hengshan Island were smashed by the "Flying Fish," and only four of them were able to escape safely under artillery bombardment.
By the time the five fishing boats from Hirajima arrived at the battlefield, there was no longer a single ship from Yokoyama Island on the surface of the sea, except for the floating wood chips and the Ryukyuan people lying on the wooden blocks calling for help.
The "Exocet" swam proudly on the surface of the sea, and the musketeers on the deck happily aimed and shot at those who cried out for help in the sea.
"Please, let them go!" Sakurako came out of the cabin at some point, pulling Ren Siqi's sleeve and whispering and pleading.
"Don't worry, it's just a widow!" Ren Siqi patted Sakura's hand and comforted her.
