The civil strife in the Tateishi family, which lasted for several days, finally ended, and the second son of Kantaro Tateishi, who was poisoned, was elected as the new governor of the Tateishi family. The poor child, who was less than 9 years old, was elected by everyone as the head of the family in a daze, and when the minister was strong and the lord was weak, he didn't know how long Lu Dao could survive. With the navy being attacked by the Luo family, the power of the Standing Stone family was greatly hit, and the Dono family, who had suffered a loss at the hands of the Standing Stone family last time, immediately took action, and there was a great sense of shame in attacking the Standing Stone family. The surrounding Haoqiang also secretly moved.

But for all of the above, Zhengliang has no time to take care of it. Now he has a somewhat peculiar matter to deal with.

"You mean, that woman is a family member of a merchant in Hakata?" , Masarashi asked, waving his arm. The injured arm has largely healed, and the rudimentary bandage made of strips of cloth has just been removed today.

"Yes, Your Highness, this woman claims to be a surviving member of the Kagete family of Matsuura, Hirado, and when she returned to Hakata Kamiya's house by boat some time ago, she was attacked by the Nagoshi pirates Sanbei and was taken captive by Sanbei as a concubine. Later, because of the fame of her family's raiders, she was inadvertently rescued", Yinuo bowed and said. If he hadn't felt that this woman's identity was a bit uneasy, he wouldn't have come to report it to the head of the family.

The cage house? Kamiya's house? After hearing the origin of this woman, Masara suddenly felt that he had inadvertently rescued an important woman. First of all, the head of the Kage family, Kator Tian Yasukei, is an important retainer of the Hirado Matsuura clan, and now this woman is likely to be the family of an important person in the Kone family, although now that her husband has died, and this woman has returned to her parents' house for some reason, her status should not be underestimated. As for the Kamiya family, it reminds Masara of Kamiya Sozhan in the "Hakata Three Heroes". From the Warring States period to the early Edo period, Hakata saw the emergence of a large number of wealthy merchants who were famous for their overseas trade. Among them, the most famous is the "Hakata Three Heroes". The so-called "Hakata Sanjie" are the Shimai clan, the Kamiya Muzam and the Ohga Soku. Of these three great merchants, the first two were the royal merchants of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, while the latter served the Kuroda family, the lord of Toyozen. But calculating the time, Kamiya Sozhan in the "Hakata Three Heroes" should have just been born not long ago.

"Did the woman bring it?" , Masarashi asked. He decided to meet the woman who had happened to her.

"Yes, Your Highness, she is waiting in the courtyard," Yinuo said.

Soon, a woman who looked to be about twenty years old walked in. With snow-white skin, a beautiful figure, and outstanding beauty, all men who see her for the first time can't help but look at it again and again.

Feeling the strange gaze of the person above the main seat, the woman hurriedly lowered her head and bowed to Masara Yingying, "The concubine is the surviving member of the Matsuura cage family in Hirado to meet your lord." ”

Masara hurriedly settled his mind and asked calmly, "Are you from the Kamiya family?" Do you know Kamiya Sauce? ”。 According to Zhengliang's memory, the current head of the Shenya family is none other than Shenya Shaoce, that is, the father of Shenwu Zongzhan.

"My lord, Shenya Shaoce is the concubine's brother! Please be gracious and send the concubine back to the brother, and the concubine brother will definitely give a heavy reward", after feeling the strange gaze of the man in front of her just now, the woman was already a little cold. This kind of gaze is too familiar to her, and basically every man with this kind of gaze will not hesitate to occupy her as a plaything in the end. Now that he heard that the other party actually knew his brother, the hope in his heart was immediately rekindled.

Is that really the case? It seems that this Kamiya family is not simple, and it is connected with so many powerful people, no wonder it will become the leading wealthy businessman in Kyushu in the future.

"Let's go down and freshen up later, and the family will send you back to Hakata soon." As for the incident of the attack at sea, no one in the family will spread the rumors", Masashi said later, chastity and reputation are very important to a woman's reputation, especially this woman who is about to remarry. If Masara remembers correctly, this woman will soon marry into the Akizuki family in Chikuzen Province, and it is very likely that she returned to her mother's house this time for this matter. The Autumn Moon family is a strong man who can break his wrist with the Otomo family. And the current Luo family is not even qualified to wrestle with the Otomo family. …,

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! Nearly two months of inhuman life, seeing that it was coming to an end, the woman was grateful.

After sending the woman away, Masarashi immediately consulted with Togo Heiji and Kizo Shigetada, who were still in Kurayama Castle.

"Now that the family's Haiyan Workshop has been fully established and the backlog of coins in the warehouse has to be dealt with, it is time to establish a stable trade route," said Masarashi after explaining the situation of the Kamiya family.

"Since the other party is a businessman with good strength, he should indeed consider the issue of cooperation. In addition, the family can now deliver supplies through the territory of the Sashi family, Your Highness, please leave this matter to the minister," said Heiji Togo.

"No, I'm going to go there myself this time," Masarashi said, waving his hand.

"What?" , Togo Heiji, Kizo Shitadashi and Yinuo below all screamed.

"Your Highness, no. Now His Royal Highness is the great cause of his family's martial arts, and he will definitely not be able to leave the territory easily. Besides, the safety of His Royal Highness cannot be guaranteed", the last attack on Dematsu Lake is still vivid, and even Masahiro's arm has just been unbandaged, and Togo Heiji immediately vigorously opposed. The other two chimed in.

"This matter is related to the future development of the family, and I must go there in person this time. As for safety, this time Ichino's younger brother, Ninja Ichiruru, will accompany me, and don't forget, I'm still a swordsman, so safety is absolutely no problem," Masarashi said.

Although Masashi repeatedly assured him, the three retainers below still persuaded him to the death. In the end, Masarashi made some compromises, letting Ichino go to Hakata to prepare first, while Masarashi was accompanied by Kizo Shigetada with a few cloaks, and secretly protected by the ninja Ichijo. At the same time, Zhengliang also promised everyone that the marriage date would be determined immediately after returning to the territory, and now the Luo family is already a powerful family with thousands of people and thousands of stone in the territory, and the issue of the heir of the head of the family must be put on the agenda, otherwise it will affect the stability of the territory.

After settling down, on July 19, Masato officially set off with everyone. In consideration of safety concerns, this time everyone pretended to be escorting their families and escorted the female dependents of the Kamiya family back to Hakata Bay. Masarashi is also dressed as an ordinary samurai, and even the saber has been replaced by an ordinary sword, after all, the word Yoshioka is too conspicuous. The only people who learned about Zhengliang's trip were the people in the last assessment and the retainers in the camp of Songhu.

The team set off from the checkpoint of Desong Lake and slowly marched along the mountain road where the Luo family sent troops to the Sashi family last time. According to the advice of the retainers, Masara originally planned to take the passage bordering the Sashi family directly in the southern direction of the territory, but there was really no guarantee that the Sashi family would attack halfway despite the covenant, so he finally took this mountain road.

On the way, he learned that Master Xuanzhi happened to visit a friend at the nearby Dechang Temple, and Masahiro immediately went to visit, and the two had a long talk that night. On the second day, after bidding farewell to Master Genji, Masara set off again and arrived at Karajin Bay in the morning of the same day. Karatsu Bay was called "Karatsu" in China at the time because it was a port for Japan to China, hence the name "Karatsu" (Tsu means port). Yinuo had already hired a merchant ship waiting here. In charge of rowing were two old boatmen.

"What's that?" , Masahiro asked, pointing to a dry flag planted in the bow of the ship.

"My lord, that's the ship's mark, and now it's the Bojia ship's mark, and if you insert it, it means that the ship is protected by the Bojia navy, and ordinary pirates won't dare to rob it casually," said an old boatman respectfully. Originally, this boat was in charge of his son, but this customer insisted on using an older boatman, which made the old boatman wonder, for the sake of this lucrative business, he had to go into battle himself, and by the way, he brought his younger brother who was also fishing at sea, otherwise he would not be able to row this boat alone. Of course, it's a little strange, but after decades at sea, he also knows what to say and what not to say. …,

After hearing the old boatman's words, Zhengliang couldn't help but sigh that the Bojia family would really make money! If you think about it with your ass, you know that these boatmen must have spent a lot of money hungry to get this little flag. Zhengliang secretly made up his mind that when the Luo family's navy became strong in the future, he must also follow suit.

Before setting off, the two old boatmen performed a short prayer ceremony, supposedly praying to the god of the sea for a safe voyage. After everything was ready, the merchant ship officially departed. Originally, Masahiro and the escort woman were arranged in the cabin, but Masahiro was really not sure that he could hold it in front of the beauty, so he simply left the woman alone inside, and then he also ran to the deck to watch the scenery.

The morning sun shines brightly on the sea, reflecting sparkling phosphorescence from time to time. The salty sea breeze blows on your face, but it makes you feel quite comfortable. Standing on the bow of the boat and looking back, I saw dense trees growing along the shores of Karatsu Bay, forming a beautiful scenery. Later generations also planted more than 1 million black pines there, which is called "Rainbow Pine Plain", attracting thousands of people to visit.

After a while, the boatman sang the boat song, and because the pronunciation was really flattering, Masara did not understand a word of the lyrics. However, Masara originally thought that there were only waka and renge in this era, but now he found that there was a different culture among the people at the bottom, so he was immediately interested and slowly talked with the boatman.

After some conversations, Masato has a clearer understanding of the division of various maritime forces in this era. It turns out that there are generally three types of forces on the sea, namely the pirates, the vigilant and the boatmen.

Of course, the pirates are armed forces that make a living from sea robbery, and the amazing thing is that now the pirates are no longer a contemptuous title, and the powerful pirate leaders are even more proud of the title of "pirate general". Of course, the current pirates are divided into two formations, one is still robbing property for a living, and the other is no longer robbing property for a living, but uses commercial activities as an important source of funds.

The police were the first to originate from the employment of local tyrants on the seaside, and the local tyrants at that time hired armed ships as escorts in order to protect their ships from being attacked by pirates. Although the police and the pirates are opposites, they may have the same background as the armed forces of the sea, and many of them are actually pirates hired by the wealthy and daimyos.

The shippers, on the other hand, were more formal, and they were completely subordinate to a certain daimyo, or the retainers of the daimyo, and existed as their power on the water, which can now be called a naval army.

In this way, while enjoying the scenery along the way, Masarashi headed towards Hakata Bay, which often appears in the game and now has the opportunity to experience it for himself.
