Yamada Kazetaro was a highly trained Iga Valley ninja, and his eyesight was naturally not comparable to that of Captain Sasaki, and he could see not only the forts on the docks, but also the Ming Dynasty foot soldiers wandering sporadically on the shore.

At this time, their big ship was also seen by the Ming Dynasty infantry on the shore.

But these people did not directly sink Sasaki's big ship in accordance with the Great Ming Law.

Instead, a small warship of the Ming Dynasty sailed out from the shore to meet it.

These small warships called by the Ming Dynasty foot soldiers are warships if they sound good, but they are actually the fishing boats of the original coastal fishermen.

Since the Ming Dynasty imposed a maritime ban, it was forcibly conscripted into a military ship by these coastal defense soldiers.

Sasaki saw the wooden boat of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty approaching the big ship on his side, ignored the captain Sasaki, and instead thought of an elderly sailor next to him and asked: "Your Excellency Ape Fei, the ship of the Great Ming Kingdom is coming over, should we shoot them with cannons and sink them, and then force them to dock." ”

Sasaki heard Yamada Futaro say this, and he was so frightened that he almost flew out of the sky, and shouted: "Lord Futaro, you must not do this, we are now close to the coast, if we fire artillery and damage the Ming Dynasty's warships, then the batteries along the coast will definitely shoot at us, and we may not be able to resist it." ”

He was already very conservative in what he said, if the sergeant on the shore really mastered the tiger squat cannon on the turret according to the method taught by Qi Jiguang, he was afraid that Sasaki's big ship would have no bones.

The old sailor who was dressed up as the ape flying the sun and the moon frowned and thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Feng Taro, our mission this time is not to fight against the army of the Great Ming Kingdom, you have to remember this." ”

Then he turned to Sasaki and said, "Captain Sasaki, what do you think we should do at this time." ”

Sasaki was originally just a smuggling merchant wandering between the Ming Kingdom and the Fusang Kingdom, and sometimes he saw some villages with few people, and he didn't mind making a cameo appearance as a 'Japanese Bandit' to loot it, but this Sasaki was very cunning and never left any traces, let alone directly exchanged fire with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, he was hired by Oda Nobunaga's order to transport Yamada Kazetaro and others to the territory of the Ming Kingdom.

It had always been Yamada Kazetaro who approached him, and he also thought that Yamada Kazetaro was the leader of this group, but when he saw Yamada Kazetaro asking an elderly sailor for instructions, he knew that this old sailor was the real principal.

Sasaki had long heard of the mysteries of the Iga Valley ninja, and he was not surprised that the other party seemed to be an old sailor, but it was Sasaki who was asked for advice by such a big man, which made Sasaki feel very honored.

If he encounters the foot soldiers of the Ming Kingdom at another time, Sasaki will definitely stay away and escape as soon as possible.

But in this situation, the method of escaping is obviously not suitable, and when I was frowning and thinking, the Ming Dynasty's warship was getting closer and closer.

Sasaki suddenly saw a person standing on the Ming Dynasty warship, and said with great joy: "There is a way!"

It turned out that the people on the Ming Dynasty warship were not soldiers of the Qi family's army, but a hundred households from the subordinate military station of Jinan Prefecture in Shandong.

The surname of this hundred households is Yang Mingshoucai, and the seat of this hundred households was donated to him by his father, in order to see the fat shortage of this coastal patrol.

After Yang Shoucai took office, he really lived up to the expectations of his father Yang million, and made a windfall with the help of his position.

Sasaki is one of the gods of wealth of this Yang Shoucai.

Every time I encounter this Yang Shoucai, it is indispensable to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, because Sasaki has never wanted to see this Yang Shoucai.

But at this time, Yang Shoucai was greatly relieved.

First, he ordered the sailors on his ship to stop the ship, walked to the bow of the ship, and shouted at the warships of the Ming Dynasty in Chinese: "Is it the respected Mr. Yang Shoucai Yang Baihu?"

However, it was said that the Shandong border was invaded by the Japanese invaders before.

This time, the Japanese who came were not the stragglers earlier, but the Fuso samurai regiment led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had to report to the imperial court for help because the Jinan Prefecture had not responded enough, and had to report to the imperial court for help.

Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong transferred Qi Jiguang, who was guarding northern Xinjiang, to fight against the Japanese, and as soon as Qi Jiguang came to Shandong, the first measure was to renovate the local military equipment.

Not to mention the half-dead training by the soldiers of the Qi family's army, the way to squeeze oil and water in the past was also completely cut off by Qi Jiguang, and it was the moths of these local armaments that hated the Qi family army and Qi Jiguang, and they were still burning and looting the widows who did all kinds of evil.

Now Qi Jiguang defeated Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his gang of 'Japanese Invaders', and reorganized some local defense in Shandong Province, and finally went to Guangdong.

Like Yang Shoucai, the moths in the places that were rectified by Qi Jiguang ran out like wild horses with the reins in place, and they didn't dare to move those tiger squatting cannons, but the cannonballs had been sold by these people for silver.

Yang Shoucai and Yang Baihu couldn't wait to bring their old subordinates back to the beach to make a fortune.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived on the coast, I found a big ship.

The Ming Dynasty was banned at this time, whether the ship was the people of the Ming Dynasty or the merchant ships outside the fan, it was a fat sheep in the eyes of Yang Shoucai.

So Yang Shoucai hurriedly requisitioned a fishing boat to meet him.

Before he could get closer, he heard a Chinese accent from the big ship in front of him.

I recognized it as Sasaki, a Fuso businessman I had dealt with before.

Because the Ming Dynasty suffered from the Japanese invaders for many years, and most of these Japanese invaders came from Fusang and other places.

It was because the Ming Dynasty was very cautious about the ships of Dongying and the people of Fusang.

If these Fusang merchants wanted to communicate with the Ming Dynasty, they had to drill into the camp to win over the local garrison.

This Sasaki is a big businessman who travels between Shandong and Fuso, and he is very generous.

As soon as Yang Shoucai heard Sasaki's voice, his heart was already overjoyed, but on the surface, he remained silent and did not answer, and with a black face, he led his men to Sasaki's big boat.

Captain Sasaki saw Yang Shoucai's boat approaching and hurriedly waited at the bow of the boat.

Yang Shoucai didn't go to see Sasaki first when he got on the boat, and the soldiers behind him scattered as soon as he waved his hand, and searched Sasaki's big boat.

Seeing this scene, Yamada Kazetaro and a group of ninja disguised sailors from Iga Valley had already pressed their hands on the hidden weapon short knife in the placket of their clothes, and they were about to start fighting when Sarutobi gave the order.

And the old sailor disguised as Ape Fei Sun and Moon just followed Captain Sasaki's side, without any abnormality.

Sasaki saw that Yang Baihu made a big jump when he asked people to search the boat, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Respected Lord Yang Baihu Yang Shoucai, I am your loyal friend Sasaki, what are you doing here?"

Yang Shoucai seemed to recognize Sasaki at this time, and said as if he had suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Sasaki, you can't recognize you if you haven't seen me for a while." ”

Sasaki said respectfully: "Lord Yang, you have a lot of opportunities, so naturally you won't pay attention to a little person like me, but Sasaki has always kept your grace in mind Lord Yang. ”

As he spoke, he hid a small bag of gold in his cuffs and stuffed it into Yang Shoucai's hand.

Yang Shoucai pretended to be surprised and said, "Sasaki, what are you doing here?"

Sasaki said: "Lord Yang, please don't get me wrong, these are some small 'local specialties' of Fuso Country, please smile." ”

Yang Shoucai took the small cloth bag handed over by Sasaki, checked it and felt that the weight was very heavy, so he stuffed the small cloth bag into his arms.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who searched around on Sasaki's ship had returned one after another, and a soldier attached to Yang Shoucai's ear and said a few words, Yang Shoucai made an unfathomable look, and said to Sasaki: "Mr. Sasaki, what is your ship ......?"

When Yang Shoucai said this, he deliberately pulled a long tone.

Sasaki didn't wait for him to finish, so he preemptively said, "Respected Lord Yang Baihu, please take a step to speak." ”

Yang Shoucai smiled and nodded, and followed Sasaki to the cabin, and the soldier who reported to him just now behind him wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Yang Shoucai waving his hand.

When he approached the cabin with Sasaki, Sasaki carefully closed the hatch.

Yang Shoucai said in a strange manner: "Mr. Sasaki, the goods on your ship are all prohibited by my order of the Ming Dynasty, and I am very embarrassed for you to do this." ”

Sasaki scolded in his heart, took out a small bag of gold from his arms, handed it over and said respectfully: "Sasaki is an honest businessman, these goods are just to fill his stomach, and I hope that Lord Yang, your subordinates will be merciful." ”

Yang Shoucai took the bag and held it in his hand, and said unrelentingly: "Those goods are for filling your stomach, but Mr. Sasaki, the gun at the bow of your ship is probably not to fill your stomach. ”

Sasaki himself is a pirate merchant, and now he is pulling a boatload of Iga Valley ninjas, who is already very Rarity in his heart, and he was half frightened to death when he heard Yang Shoucai say this, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Yang Baihu Yang, you misunderstood, although this ship turned out to be a warship, but Sasaki didn't know that there would be artillery on it when he bought it, Sasaki is an honest businessman, a friend of the Ming Dynasty, and a friend of Lord Yang, how can it be a Japanese Kou." ”

Yang Shoucai originally wanted to scare Sasaki, so that he could take the opportunity to knock more bamboo poles.

Seeing Sasaki like this, he seemed to be extremely satisfied, and then he relieved himself after a while: "Brother Sasaki, the friendship between the two of us is not a day or two, you Sasaki's personality and Yang Shoucai are naturally clear, but it's just ......"

Sasaki said anxiously, "Just what?"

Yang Shoucai was embarrassed: "It's just that the coastal area of Shandong has just been sacked by the Japanese invaders, and the court is tracking it down, although the Qi family army led by Qi Jiguang has withdrawn, no one can say whether it will leave any tail, you are only afraid of ...... when you dock at this time."
