Rise From the Humble

One evening three days later, twenty-six Japanese ships sailed to the coast of Songjiang Prefecture. On the shore, Xu Hai and Maye led thousands of Japanese pirates to light piles of blazing bonfires at the port of a small coastal village, while cooking rice. While guiding the Japanese pirates at sea.

Soon, the Japanese ship docked under the guidance of the bonfire, and the Japanese pirates on board couldn't wait to rush off the warship.

I have been bumping and drifting on the sea for more than a month. Now I see land, not to mention how excited I am.

In addition, their journey was not smooth. There were thirty ships when they arrived. They encountered strong winds and huge waves on the sea. Two large Japanese ships lost control under the strong winds and huge waves, collided with each other, and their hulls fell apart. , and there were two small Japanese boats that were just unlucky. The boat was capsized due to strong winds and strong waves. Due to the bad weather, all the Japanese pirates on these four boats were fed to the sea kings, and none of them were rescued.

In this era, the Japanese pirate ships were relatively backward. Not only did they not have a keel, but the entire ship was connected with wood and iron pieces, and there were no iron nails. Not only was it difficult to fight at sea, but it was also more dangerous when encountering strong winds and waves.

"You have come all the way, and you have worked hard all the way. We have prepared big fish, meat, and wine to welcome you heroes from a foreign country. After you have eaten and drank enough and slept for a day and a night, I will take you to experience burning and killing. The pleasure of looting allows you to see the richness of the Ming Dynasty; hereby, I wish us a happy cooperation, I wish you heroes a fruitful return, and I wish you good luck in martial arts for a long time. "

Surrounded by the Japanese pirates, Xu Hai and Maye stepped forward and welcomed the new Japanese pirates who came across the ocean with fists clasped.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu Junma. This general is Matsuura Shimozaburo, the Ashigaru general of the Matsuura family. This is the general of the Ryuzoji family, Ryuzoji Shingen. He is a member of the Ryuzoji family. We are waiting for 1,500 people. Well, now 1,200 people obey the command of General Shingen of Ryuzoji Temple."

The two leading Japanese pirates in large armor came towards Xu Hai and Maye. One of the short, middle-aged Japanese pirates introduced himself as Matsuura Shimosaburo, and respectfully introduced the tall and tall heroic Japanese pirate Weilong next to him. Build temple Shingen.

The Matsuura family is currently subordinate to the Ryuzoji family, so this wave of Japanese pirates also obeys the commander of the Ryuzoji family.

Ryuzoji Shingen is a member of the Ryuzoji family, but he is not a core member of the family, but a side branch.

But the status is noble enough.

The hierarchy of the Japanese country was stricter than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the superiority and inferiority were even more particular. Ryuzoji Shingen was higher than Matsuura Shimosaburo in terms of origin, status, and position. He was the well-deserved commander-in-chief of the Japanese pirates this time.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu and Mr. Ma. This time you set foot in the Ming Dynasty, the harvest will depend on these two!"

Ryuzoji Shingen bowed ninety degrees to Xu Hai and Maye, and said with a sincere face and humble words.

"Please!" Matsuura Shimozaburo also bowed ninety degrees.

"General Long, you are so polite. General Matsuura, please get up quickly. Don't wait. Don't wait. We still have to rely on your bravery. Okay, you have come all the way. You must be hungry and exhausted. Come to your seats quickly, everyone. The fish, meat, and sake are all ready; the bed is also made, let’s eat and drink well, take a good sleep, and refresh ourselves. Let’s have a big fight together.” Xu Hai and Maye helped each other up. One said politely and enthusiastically.

"Everyone, hurry up and take your seats. The big fish and meat are all cooked." The Japanese pirates under the two men also came forward to warmly welcome the Japanese pirates who had just disembarked from the boat.

"I don't want the fish. I'm going to vomit the food on the sea. Come here with chicken, duck, and pork." The Japanese pirates who had just got off the boat felt like vomiting when they heard the fish. They waved their hands repeatedly, rejecting the fish, and shouted for more other meat.

"Taro, you're here too, hahaha, come quickly." Youzhenwa recognized his old friend who had just disembarked from the ship, and came forward to greet him enthusiastically.

"Isn't that the Ryuzoji family's iron cannon team? My dear, there are more than a hundred people here. The Ryuzoji family is very generous. Each iron cannon ashigaru needs to be trained at least thirty times, plus The iron cannon also has gunpowder. An elite iron cannon ashigaru costs at least sixty gan, which is six thousand gan of silver!"

"Also, there are many samurai masters from the Matsuura family here. The Matsuura family is also very generous this time."

"Well, Matsuura Shimozaburo-sama is here. He is the pioneer general of the Matsuura family; and Ryuzoji Shingen is even more amazing. He is a famous general of the Ryuzoji family with both wisdom and bravery. The name of 'Hizen no Saru' is here Hizen is a famous name.”

The Japanese pirates under Xu Hai Maya's command gathered around to watch the Japanese pirates who had just disembarked from the ship, and were shocked by the generosity of the Ryuzouji family and the Matsuura family.

"Haha, what a bunch of broken people. This is surprising. We are just the pioneers. The Ryuzoji family and the Matsuura family are already forming a larger coalition. They have also invited the surrounding forces to join us. The starting number is 10,000 people. When the time comes, we pioneers can become team captains.”

The Japanese pirates who had just disembarked from the boat heard the discussion and couldn't help but twitch the corners of their lips and said with a superior and proud look.

"Haha, you have to survive first." Shinwa, who was under Xu Hai and Maye's command, couldn't understand their sense of superiority and said sarcastically.

"What's so hard about surviving? I heard that the people of the Ming Dynasty are weak and timid, and they are afraid of the Japanese. A few months ago, our Matsuura family and the Ryuzoji family sent more than a hundred people to the Ming Dynasty for reconnaissance. More than a hundred people traveled thousands of miles across the Ming Dynasty, killed tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, broke through several counties in the Ming Dynasty, and attacked the Ming Dynasty's capital Yingtian. Although they did not capture Yingtian, they also shocked Yingtian and frightened it to not dare to go out of the city to fight. Only a hundred people can travel across the south of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that we have thousands of people this time. Where can we not go in the Ming Dynasty?! What city in the Ming Dynasty can't we capture?! And survived, haha, let the Ming people worry about this!" The Japanese pirates who got off the ship were confident.

"Many people from our village came to Daming to rob. They all got rich and went back to marry wives and concubines. They lived a good life. After living at home for a year, they would come to Daming to rob again and spend money for another year. They all said that people from Daming would only kneel down and beg for mercy. Killing them was as easy as killing chickens and dogs. Coming to Daming to rob was as easy as going out to the market. I envied them and followed them to make a fortune."

"That's right. Coming to Daming to rob is an old tradition in our fishing village. They come every year. The officers and soldiers of Daming are all weaklings!"

The Japanese pirates who just got off the boat were very confident. They looked down on the officers and soldiers of Daming and did not worry about their fate.

"It was true in the past, but it's different now. Daming has a fierce man. You'd better pray to the Sun God not to meet him."

The old Japanese pirate thought of someone and said with lingering fear.
