Chapter 1078 Surrender with me

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although there is no decent town in Futianpu, there is a wharf that was born due to Nanman trade.  The villagers who make a living from the dock have also formed a small village.  In order to coordinate transactions with the Portuguese, the Omura family also appointed a retainer named Xiaofang to be responsible for the execution here.

    When Father Torres went to the Duke of Goa, it was still a ship sent by Dacun Xiaofang, so he saw the Ming Dynasty fleet as soon as it arrived, and quickly had people ride horses to report to Sancheng City dozens of miles away.

    But Xiaofang wasn¡¯t too panicked at the time, because he watched the entire battle of Futian Bay four years ago on the mountain behind the pier.  I still have a vivid memory of the scene in which the Portuguese relied on the strength of their ships and cannons to defeat the invading Matsuura family.

    Since then, he has been worshiping the Portuguese crazily. Opening his mouth and shutting up, he said that the Southern Barbarians are invincible, and we should serve them well. He also actively joined the Chechidan Church and got the Christian name "John".

    He also exchanged a large jar of sake from his own private collection for a soft-brimmed sailor hat from the Portuguese.  With a cross hanging around my neck and a sailor's hat on my head all day long, I felt like a southern barbarian.

    When he saw those desperate Ming warships actually daring to surround Nanman's father, Xiao Fang Fengsheng felt very contemptuous in his heart - in his opinion, those invincible Nanman Empire's giant ships would definitely crush the Ming Dynasty's broken ships.  What a shame!

    So he slept soundly at night, until he was awakened by the sound of cannon fire in the middle of the night. Xiao Fang quickly put on his sailor hat and ran to the pier to dance and cheer for Nanman's father!

    The villagers were also frightened awake by the sound of cannons, and ran to the dock to see what was going on.  But there was so much gunfire on the sea that it was impossible to tell who was who. All I saw was Master Fengxing dancing around, saying, ¡®Daddy!  Damn it!  ¡¯ kept shouting.

    "My lord, who has the upper hand now?" the villagers asked, leaning forward.

    "Baga, do you still need to ask? Of course, the warriors favored by the Lord will defeat those evil Nephilim of the Ming Dynasty!" Fengxing ordered while dancing: "Don't dance with me yet!"

    "Daddy Ganba! Daddy Ganba!" The villagers, who were extremely obedient, quickly followed Xiao Fang's rhythm, cheering and dancing together, clapped their laps, and cheered for the Nanman people in Futian Bay.

    "Daddy Ganba! Daddy Ganba!"

    After dancing tirelessly until dawn, everyone was dumbfounded to see dozens of Ming Dynasty sailing ships surrounding the two large Western sailing ships.  Several of the masts of the large sailing ship were broken, and the remaining ones were bare and hung with tattered strips of cloth. They did not look like they had won a battle.

    "Sir, have you won?" the panting villager asked timidly.

    Omura Xiaofang ignored him and just stared at the sea blankly, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

    "Are you blind?" Someone whispered on his behalf: "Didn't you see the white flag on the sailboat?"

    "How could this happen?" The villagers, all of whom were Qingzhidan believers, clutched the crosses around their necks and asked, "Can the warriors blessed by the Lord also lose?"

    "Baga!" At this time, Xiao Fang Fengxing turned his head, and everyone saw that the sailor hat on his head was gone. They didn't know whether he lost it while dancing or took it off by himself.

    "After all, this is still the territory of the Buddha. God can't control this far" Xiao Fang Fengxing silently took off the cross from his neck and said: "Hurry up and report to the lord, the Nanman worships. You quickly take your belongings and hide in the mountains.  Just hide."

    "Where are you, sir?" The villagers also took off their crosses one after another, feeling that they had to go to the temple to burn incense.

    "I am the Fukudaura leader appointed by your lord, so naturally I will stick here." Omura Xiaofang had a solemn look on his face, full of determination to serve generously.

    ??~~

    In that room, the head of the Omura family, Romeo Omura Junchu, was on his way from Sanjo City.  Last night, when he received the report that "the Ming Dynasty's fleet invaded Futianpu", he was really happy all night

    He has the same idea as Omura Xiaofang, that is, the people of the Ming Dynasty are really stubborn.  I was worried that they would enter Omura Bay, but they ran to Fukudaura by themselves.  If there is a road to heaven, he will not take it, and if there is no door to hell, he will throw himself into it. This is a good situation, is it a dead end?

    But to be cautious, he still prayed all night last night, hoping that the warriors of the Lord could do their best to achieve a great victory in this battle!

    Unlike Omura Kokata who purely worships the strong, his hope that the Portuguese will win, including his belief in the Chechidan Sect, is all based on practical needs - because Omura Junchu is not his father's biological son.

    It¡¯s not like her mother gave her father a leek-colored hat!

    He is actually the second son of the Shimahara Arima family¡¯s former governor, Ariuma Seijun oh no, Arima Seijun.

    whenAt that time, the three families of Omura, Arima, and Goto in Nishihizen formed an alliance.  As the leader of the alliance, Arima Sejun, in order to better control the two families, instructed his brother-in-law, Junmae, the head of the Omura family, to adopt his only son Takaaki to the childless head of the Goto family.  Then he adopted his second son Arima Juntada to Junmae as his adopted son.

    Using the method of raising an heir to win over and annex neighboring forces was a very common vertical and horizontal strategy in Japan during the Warring States Period.  But for someone like Brother Qingchun, who is not pure at all, such a way of distorting human relations is a bit too much.

    Later, when the two adopted sons inherited the family business, Goto Takaaki, who was supposed to be the head of the Omura family, has always been resentful of Junchu, the guy who occupied the magpie's nest.  Although he himself has become the head of the Goto family, if he takes back the Omura family, wouldn't he become the head of both families?

    Therefore, Goto Takaaki has been deliberately trying to drive away Omura Juntada. Especially six years ago, Omura Juntada was baptized and became an outlier among the daimyo. After the Daimyo Kirishidan, many Omura retainers who believed in Buddhism were dissatisfied.  At the same time, the voices among the retainers who did not trust Catholicism and believed that it was heresy were growing increasingly louder, allowing Guimei to see an opportunity to regain the family property.

    He used his status to instigate rebellion on a large scale, and as expected, many Omura retainers switched sides and joined the Goto family - this was not just as simple as employee job-hopping.  Japan implemented a complete feudal system.  Retainers also have their own fiefdoms, and the people in the fiefdom only recognize their own lord, and they don't care who the lord's lord is.

    As the saying goes, ¡®I am the vassal of my vassal.  Not my vassal¡¯.

    Therefore, as soon as they changed jobs, their respective territories and populations were owned by Goto Takaaki.  Seeing that the time was right, Takaaki cooperated with others and mobilized a large number of thugs to set fire to the streets, burn down churches, kill believers, and destroy Yokozeura, which Omura Junchu had worked hard to build.

    In that rebellion, Yokoze Ura, who was appointed by Juntada, was also killed. Even he himself fled Shimabara in a hurry, and his luxurious residence was looted and burned by the mob.

    Later, with the help of the Arima family, it took Junchu a full three years to regain his sovereignty over the Omura family's territory.

    That¡¯s why he was so hesitant about the Portuguese¡¯s request to open the port of Nagasaki.  If it weren't for the pressure from the Ming Dynasty people this time, he might not have agreed so readily.

    Now that he has made a bet, he certainly expects the Portuguese to win a big victory - if they can defeat the Ming Dynasty fleet that destroyed the Matsuura Navy and Goto Navy and destroyed Egawa Castle, then there will be no one left in Kitakyushu.  It provoked the Nanman's prestige.

    ¡° Then as an ally of the Southern Barbarians, I naturally don¡¯t have to worry about my damn cousin.  Even the Ryuzouji family didn't dare to do anything wrong to him anymore.  And for the sake of Nanman's muskets, armor and gunpowder, all the major forces will form alliances with the Omura family!  That way you don¡¯t have to worry about your own safety at all¡­

    Thinking about it this way, at dawn, Omura Juntada immediately gathered a hundred cavalry, carrying dozens of flags, and rushed to Fukudaura to help his allies.  I just don¡¯t know what he means by sending out cavalry in a naval battle?  Could it be that he is riding a seahorse?

    The road from Sancheng City to Futianpu is very difficult to walk. You have to go around the bay and cross the mountain road, and it will take you a long time to drive slowly.

    I was on my way when I bumped into Xiao Fang¡¯s messenger!

    "What, is the battle already over?" Chunzhong asked happily.

    "Yes!" The messenger said with sweat on his head: "The Nanman fleet has surrendered, and the man-eating devils are going to invade Futianpu!"

    "What?!" Chun Zhong's eyes darkened and he fell off his horse.  Fortunately, Japanese horses are smaller than donkeys and are no more than one meter tall, so they didn't fall down.

    "Lord!" All the retainers jumped off their horses and helped Chunzhong up. "In this case, it is meaningless for us to go to Futianpu, so we should hurry back to Sancheng City."

    "Yes, if the Ming Dynasty people want to attack Sancheng City, they must go around Xibichu and pass through the needle tail before entering Dancun Bay. We still have time to arrange our defenses." Everyone hurriedly agreed.

    Chunzhong paused for a while to avoid thinking for a while, but then shook his head decisively: "No, let's move on."

    "Lord!" Everyone said in shock: "Although we are all servants of the Lord now, there is no need to be martyred, right?"

    "Who said we were going to be martyred?" Omura Junchu shook his head and said tragically: "Gentlemen, we are here to survive. This is the only way to go!"

    "Why did my lord say this?" A group of retainers asked in confusion.

    "Ryuzoji Takanobu has been coveting the many good ports of our Omura family for a long time. It was only because he was wary of the relationship between the Nanman and us that he did not take direct action. He only supported the Goto family and the Saigo family to press us step by step." Jun Omura  Zhongman said bitterly: "So after the Nanman surrender this time, we will either follow in the footsteps of the Yujiu family and be wiped out by the Ming Dynasty fleet; or we will be swallowed up by that bear."

    Everyone was horrified when they heard this, this is really the truth.

    "Now we can only try to get the understanding of the Ming Dynasty people - our Omura family has never had Japanese pirates!" Omura Junchu said loudly: "Our Omura family is harmless and peace-loving, why should we suffer for others?"

    After saying that, he ordered his men to take off his armor, get on the horse with only the single clothes underneath, and said the most cowardly words in the toughest tone: "Gentlemen, show your ultimate enlightenment! Surrender to me!"  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Gobbled up by the bear.  "
