Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1444 There is a Japanese

  When Zhu Pingan sent Marquis Linhuai and Duke Wei Guo out of the camp, two Guan boats flying the Hachiman Bodhisattva flag cut the waves and came straight to the coast hundreds of miles away from Shangyu County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

Shangyu County is one of the earliest counties established in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. According to county annals, historical records and unearthed cultural relics, human beings lived and multiplied here as early as the new era. . Among them, "upper" refers to the position, because Yu Shun gave Zhishu not only this one piece of fief, but also other fiefdoms.

"Master Zhinan, Lord Sanfanlang, this place is Shangyu County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces of the Ming Dynasty. When we robbed Daming with Xu Hai, we landed here. To the north of this place is the most fertile Suhu area in Ming Dynasty."

  A Japanese pirate in armor stepped forward, pointed to the coast ahead, and reported to Naoshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanlang.

  He was sent to Xu Hai by the Governor of the Matsuura family. As the eyes and ears of the Governor of the Matsuura family, he secretly monitored Xu Hai and followed Xu Hai to plunder Daming many times.

"Yuxi! We can finally land. After drifting on the sea for so long, my body is going to be moldy!" Naoshima moved his hands and feet, looked at Shangyu County with his eyes like a hungry wolf, and licked his lips excitedly , "This is Daming, killing Ming people, robbing their wealth and women, just thinking about it makes me excited."

"Yeah, we finally arrived at Daming! On the way, we encountered strong winds and rain, monstrous waves, and sea beasts. Our party didn't lose a single member. It's really Amaterasu who protected us! With Amaterasu's protection, this trip will definitely go smoothly! "Sanbanlang Matsuura also stood up, glanced at Shangyu of the Ming Dynasty from a distance, and turned his head to beat the Japanese pirates on board.

   "God Amaterasu protects you!"

   "Kill, kill, kill! Grab, grab, grab!"

  The Japanese pirates on the ship waved their weapons excitedly, crying like ghosts and howling like wolves.

Soon, the two closed ships docked at suitable places, and the Japanese pirates, led by Naoshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanro, jumped off the ship like hungry wolves with katana swords and other weapons, wading through the half-waist-deep Sea water comes ashore.

   "Where is the nearest county town of Daming to this place? My family heirloom sword is already hungry and thirsty."

  After going ashore, Nabeshima Naoo asked those Japanese pirates who had been to Ming Dynasty.

"There are two county towns nearby, one is Shangyu County and the other is Kuaiji County. In comparison, Kuaiji County should be a little closer, and it is closer to the Daming Suhu area." A Japanese pirate who knew the surrounding situation He went forward to report, and stretched out his fingers to point out the directions of the two counties.

   "Soldiers to Kuaiji County!" Naoshima Naonan swung his sword in the direction of Kuaiji County and shouted.

"Straight male general, we came across the ocean and just landed. We are exhausted and not in the best condition. It is not suitable for tackling tough battles. It is better to destroy the houses first, eat and drink enough, and recharge your batteries. It's not too late to break the county."

  Matsuura Sanbanlang saw that Naoshima Naonan was about to attack Kuaiji County directly without stopping, so he couldn't help but make a suggestion.

   Naoshima looked back at Matsuura Sanbanlang for a second, then nodded vigorously, "Just in Sanbanlang's opinion."

  So, one hundred and fifty elite Japanese pirates, led by Naoshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanlang, rushed towards the villages and towns in the direction of Kuaiji County.

   There are still walls in the county seat, but what are the villages and towns? ! Nothing, completely defenseless.

  Nabeshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanlang led the ferocious Japanese pirates, and in broad daylight, brandishing Japanese swords, went straight to the town.

"Japanese pirates! It's Japanese pirates! Japanese pirates are coming!" Someone in the village saw Naoshima Nao and other Japanese pirates who had been killed, and immediately shouted in panic. Japanese sword

   "The pirates are coming!"

  The villages and towns suddenly fell into panic. People panicked and avoided crying, and the streets were in chaos.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

One hundred and fifty elite Japanese pirates rushed to the town like wolves into a flock of sheep, hacking and killing anyone they saw, kicking doors and houses, and setting fire to their houses. All over the place, corpses littered the streets, houses were burning with black smoke, and the cries were horrific.

  A quarter of an hour later, the three-story wooden building of Zhang Yuanwai's family, the wealthiest man in the town, was occupied by murderous Japanese pirates as a resting place.

  Zhang Yuanwai’s family had long been dead in the courtyard. The male corpse was in a miserable state, while the female corpse’s clothes were disheveled and skirts were half faded.

Compared with the miserable family of Zhang Yuanwai, the Japanese pirates sang and danced like a group of demons dancing wildly, laughing and laughing one after another, and a few people were sumo wrestling, applauding. Three large pots were set up in the middle of the courtyard, and the pots were simmering. Chicken, duck, fish, mutton, etc., broth chug chug.

Naoshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanro sat in the middle of the Japanese pirates. Naoshima Naoao was gnawing on a chicken leg in one hand and drinking from a flagon in the other; beside him was Matsuura Sanbanro with a Japanese sword in his pocket, and placed it on his legs. He is holding a roll of animal skin paper, and holding a brush in one hand to write and draw on it. If you look closely, you will find that what he drew is a map of Daming after he landed. The names of Shangyu County and surrounding counties and towns where he landed are all marked on it.

"Good job Watanabe!" Naoshima Naoshima said hello to the Japanese pirate who won the sumo wrestling, then turned his head to look at Matsuura Sanbanro, and asked with doubts, "Sanbanro, although I am not good at strategy , but following the side of the family governor and brother, I also know some ways to use soldiers. I went ashore this time and killed the town where the Ming people were. Shouldn't I run away to avoid the pursuit of the Ming army and find Is it a safe place to recharge your energy?! Why do you want to burn down the houses in the town to attract the attention of the wise; let the villagers flee, let them send the warning letter; and still occupy this wooden building in the town to rest?! Is that so? The Ming army who waited to hear the news, was surrounded by them?!"

   "Straight male general, I did this on purpose." Matsuura Sanbanlang stopped his brush and said frankly.

   "Nani?! Sanbanlang, why did you put us in danger?! But you are dissatisfied with His Highness's appointment?!"

  Nabeshima Naoao pressed the Japanese sword excitedly, and asked in a stern voice.

   "Straight male general, please be safe, general, do you still remember the purpose of my trip?" Matsuura Sanbanlang asked with a bow.

   "Spy on the reality of the Ming Dynasty, scout the route, and open the way for the army to loot the Suhu area of ​​the Ming Dynasty!" Naoshima Naoman said in a deep voice.

"So, that's what I'm doing today. Burning the houses and letting the villagers flee to warn the people is to attract the attention of the Ming army. I want to spy on the Ming army's reaction time, assembly time, and troop strength, so that in the future when the army goes out to rob To plunder the Ming Dynasty, we can fight a hundred battles without perishing if we know the enemy and ourselves.”

  Matsuura Sanbanlang explained.
