Chapter 156: The Ronin on Wajima!
Inoue Ichiro was originally a ronin on the island of Kyushu, loyal to the daimyo Shimazu Ryubo on the island of Kyushu.
In the years that he followed Shimazu Ryubo, Inoue Ichiro also made a name for himself in the Shimazu family with his ferocity and swordsmanship.
On today's Kyushu Island, there are fights everywhere, today I will kill you and rob you of a few acres of land, and tomorrow you will bring someone to kill me and seize my territory.
In this way, the princes divided their territories, killed each other, and killed the entire Kyushu Island in the dark.
Of course, this is not only true of Kyushu Island, but also of the current Kori Country, and the entire Wajima Island.
In Kyushu, Honshu, and on the island of Shikoku, the imperial family has already existed in name only, and all the daimyo are fighting for their own interests.
It is more chaotic and immoral than the Spring and Autumn period in China.
The Wajin people who live in Wajima are either called samurai or ronin and take refuge in the daimyo to survive.
Either they became serfs and were treated as animals by the people of Wajima, using them as cattle and horses, working day and night.
Inoue Ichiro can be mixed in the Shimazu family, which shows that he is a tyrannical person.
It's a pity that there is no eternal victory in Wajima, and Shimazu Ryubo lost the war in a battle.
Along with the loss, the Shimazu family, decades of accumulation, and hundreds of clansmen, all of whom were slaughtered by the enemy.
Inoue Ichiro saw that the opportunity was not good, and hurriedly escaped from Kyushu Island by boat, and completely became a wandering Wajima ronin.
In the process of wandering, Inoue Ichiro was recruited as a thug by a gang of Japanese robbers by mistake.
In less than three years, Inoue Ichiro quickly climbed to the position of the second leader with his martial arts and ruthlessness.
Finally, in the first few months, through the fire and the big chief, Inoue Ichiro personally cut off the head of the big boss who took him in.
The concubines of the great chieftain and his two daughters were included in his room.
As for the son of the big leader and his henchmen, they were all driven to death by Inoue Ichiro, hung on the mast, and screamed for five days and five nights before he died.
Since then, Inoue Ichiro has completely mastered this gang of Japanese robbers.
He often took his ruined fleet with him to rob the maritime merchants who came and went around the surrounding seas.
Inoue Ichiro is very good at doing things, never morality, and the maritime merchants he touches, whether they surrender voluntarily or not, will be slaughtered by Inoue Ichiro.
The woman was left to vent his animal desires, and the men, young and old, cut off their heads and threw them into the sea to feed the fish.
Therefore, since Inoue Ichiro came to power, there have been fewer and fewer traces of merchant ships in the surrounding seas.
Until a few days ago, a mysterious person suddenly came to Shengsi Island, who claimed to be his colleague and wanted to take him to Daming to make a fortune.
Inoue Ichiro, who was worried that he had no source of income, was naturally overjoyed and quickly reached an agreement with the man.
But not long after he set off, he saw a huge fleet at sea.
The fleet frightened him greatly, and although he was a daring man, he was almost frightened to see a fleet that was more than twice as tall as his own ships.
This kind of behemoth, at first glance, is not an existence that can be provoked by itself.
He was ruthless, but not stupid, and when he saw the fleet, he turned around and ran.
Although the terrifying fleet was also wearing a pirate flag, there was no companion on the sea, and there were no fellow villagers with tears in their eyes.
Some just eat the big fish and the small fish, merging with each other.
Although Inoue Ichiro fled frantically, he was still caught up by that fleet, and seeing that he was about to die, the leader of that fleet actually slowed down.
also let himself speak, Inoue Ichiro simply thought that the man's brain was broken.
It must be the second ancestor of the great power of the Japanese who sneaked out, otherwise how could he be so naïve?
Inoue Ichiro waited for darkness while delaying time with perfunctory answers.
In that case, only darkness could save him.
Fortunately, the leader of that fleet was indeed mentally retarded, and he actually made it through the dark and returned to his lair without any problems.
This experience of escaping death made Inoue Ichiro feel deeply tired.
As soon as he returned to the island, he pulled a few women from the dungeon and frantically vented his animal desires.
Just when Inoue Ichiro was wantonly indulging, he suddenly heard a bell ringing, and that kind of piercing sound scared Inoue Ichiro into softening instantly.
……
Meanwhile.
At the port of the North Island of Shengsi Island, the navy led by Li Jin was nervously carrying out a landing battle.
With Li Jin's order, Lan Yu fiercely led the advance team members on each battleship and rushed towards the shore.
The purpose is to seize the advantageous terrain and occupy the advantageous terrain as soon as possible before the Japanese invaders can react, so that they can firmly hold the landing beach.
Although Lan Yu's idea was very good, the Japanese at the port, under the call of the bell, still gathered quickly on the shore.
In addition, there were other pirates on the island, and they all took up arms and rushed towards this port.
If the blue jade can't make a quick decision, quickly open the gap, occupy the favorable terrain, and help the follow-up large forces to occupy the landing beach, then the naval officers and men on the coast will become a live target for arrows and crossbows, and there will be no obstruction.
Sapphire sat on the boat, shaking her oars frantically, hoping to reach the shore as soon as possible.
In his field of vision, there were probably more than 300 people gathered on the shore, and there were a large number of figures gathering towards the port.
Lan Yu hurriedly ordered directly:
"Shoot, shoot now, shoot freely!"
Just now, Lan Yu wanted to let his navy line up to shoot, but he found that on the bumpy sea, let alone line up, it was difficult to even stand firm.
Helpless, Lan Yu could only hope to row to the shore as soon as possible, and at the same time let his men shoot freely.
In the army, there is never a shortage of marksmen, and there are many marksmen in the group of pioneers selected by Li Jin.
They stood out in the all-army competition, which is why Li Jin summoned these people to the first team.
Li Jin just hopes that these marksmen can help the army open up the situation at the most critical moment.
Sure enough, after Lan Yu gave the order, some people on the small boat beside him had already picked up the fire guns and began to aim at the Japanese on the shore.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! ”
The sound of huge popping beans began to sound on the seashore, accompanied by puffs of black smoke rising, which looked very terrifying.
When these loud voices came out, some of the people lined up on the shore began to clutch their chests and fall to the ground in pain.
Although the number of people knocked down is not large, after all, shooting in such a bumpy situation, the hit rate is indeed touching.
But the terrible screams of these struck widows scared the people next to them enough.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
Seeing this, the small leader who was originally standing in front of the queue hurriedly hid behind the crowd, and finally yelled.
"Shoot me these sons of bitch!"
The rain of arrows rained down and shot towards the boat of Lan Yu and the others.
These would-be outlaws, what kind of archery would they have there?
Even if you can shoot arrows, on a desert island, you can't make a strong bow and a hard crossbow, and these bows and arrows shoot soft feather arrows.
It doesn't do any harm to the first team members at all.
Half an hour later, after a frantic rowing, Sapphire finally reached the shallow water, less than fifty paces away from the Wako.
Lan Yu could even see the fierce expression on the face of the wolf, and seeing this, the corner of Lan Yu's mouth showed a hideous expression, and ordered:
"Formation!"
