The first thousand four hundred and fortieth chapters come from Japan
When Zhu Ping'an sent Linhuai Marquis and Wei Guogong out of the camp, hundreds of miles away on the sea off Shangyu County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, two Guan ships flying the flag of the Eight-Fatted Bodhisattva cut through the waves and came straight to the coast.
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 have been living and thriving here as early as the New Era. It was named "Shangyu" because Yu and Shun sealed their vassals here.
"Shang" refers to the direction, because the fiefdom that Yu Shun gave to his concubines was not only this one, but also other fiefdoms. This fiefdom was located higher up, so it was named Shangyu.
"Sir, Mr. Straight Man, Mr. Sanfanlang, this place is Shangyu County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces of the Ming Dynasty. When we plundered the Ming Dynasty with Xu Hai, we landed here. This is the closest place to the Suhu area of the Ming Dynasty that we have ever landed.
area, and to the north of this place is the Suhu area, the most fertile area in the Ming Dynasty."
An armored samurai Japanese pirate stepped forward, pointed to the coast ahead, and reported to Nabeshima Naoji and Matsuura Sanbanro.
He was originally sent to Xu Hai by Governor Matsuura. As the eyes and ears of Governor Matsuura, he secretly monitored Xu Hai. He followed Xu Hai to plunder the Ming Dynasty many times and was relatively familiar with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas of the Ming Dynasty.
"吆西! We can finally land. After wandering on the sea for so long, my body is getting moldy!" Nabeshima straight man moved his hands and feet, looked at Shangyu County with hungry wolf eyes, and licked his lips excitedly
, "This is the Ming Dynasty, killing Ming people and robbing their wealth and women, I get excited just thinking about it..."
"Yes, we finally arrived in the Ming Dynasty! We encountered violent storms, huge waves, and attacks by sea beasts on the way, but we didn't lose a single member of our party. It's really Amaterasu who protected us! With Amaterasu's protection, this trip will go smoothly!
"Matsuura Sanbanro also stood up, looked at the Ming Dynasty Shangyu from a distance, looked back and said to the Japanese pirates on the ship.
"Amaterasu protects you!"
"Kill, kill, kill! Grab, grab, grab!"
The Japanese pirates on the boat seemed to be drunk, waving their weapons excitedly and shouting like ghosts and wolf howls.
Soon, the two ships docked at a suitable location. The Japanese pirates, led by Nabeshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanro, armed with samurai swords and other weapons, jumped off the ship like hungry wolves and waded through the waist-deep water.
The water comes ashore.
"Where is the nearest county town from here in the Ming Dynasty? My family heirloom sword is already hungry and thirsty."
After landing, Nabeshima 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 slightly closer, and it is closer to the Daming Suhu area." A Japanese pirate who knows the nearby situation
He stepped forward to report and pointed out the directions of the two county towns.
"The troops are sent to Kuaiji County!" Naoshima Naoshima waved his sword vigorously in the direction of Kuaiji County and shouted.
"Straight General, we have come across an ocean and have just landed. Our bodies are exhausted and not in the best condition, so we are not suitable for fighting. It is better to break down civilian houses first, eat and drink enough, recharge our batteries, and wait until our bodies recover.
It’s not too late to destroy the county seat.”
Matsuura Sanbanro saw that Nabeshima Naoman was going to attack Kuaiji County without stopping, so he couldn't help but made suggestions.
Naoshima Nabeshima looked back at Matsuura Sanbanro for a second, then nodded vigorously, "Just as Sanbanro sees it."
As a result, one hundred and fifty elite Japanese pirates, led by Naoshima Nabeshima and Matsuura Sanbanro, rushed towards the villages and towns in the direction of Kuaiji County.
The county town still has city walls, but what do the villages and towns have? There is nothing, and they are completely defenseless.
Naoshima Nabeshima and Matsuura Sanbanro led the ferocious Japanese pirates and attacked the town in broad daylight, wielding Japanese swords.
"Japanese pirates! It's Japanese pirates! Japanese pirates are coming!" Someone in the village saw the Nabeshima Naoman and other Japanese pirates who were coming to kill them, and immediately shouted in panic. They were easy to identify, with their fierce looks, the sound of birds, and their long and narrow heads.
Japanese sword...
"The Japanese pirates are coming!"
Villages and towns suddenly fell into panic. People panicked, fled and cried, and the streets were in chaos.
"kill!"

"kill!"
"kill!"
One hundred and fifty elite Japanese pirates rushed into the town like wolves among sheep, slashing and killing everyone they saw, kicking in doors and households, and setting fire to homes. In an instant, the villages and towns became hells on earth, and blood was shed.
There were corpses strewn across 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 Yuan's family, the richest in town, was occupied by the murderous Japanese pirates as a temporary resting place.
Zhang Yuanwai's family had long been found dead in the courtyard. The male corpse was in a miserable state of death, and the female corpse was disheveled, with her skirts and trousers half taken off...
In contrast to the miserable Zhang Yuanwai's family, the Japanese pirates were singing and dancing like a group of demons, with laughter and laughter. A few people were also sumo wrestling, and there were cheers. Three large pots were set up in the middle of the courtyard, and there was a lot of stew in the pots.
Chicken, duck, fish, mutton, etc., broth...
Nabeshima Naoshima and Matsuura Sanbanro sat in the middle of the Japanese pirates. Nabeshima Naoshima was gnawing a chicken leg in one hand and drinking from a sake flask in the other. Matsuura Sanbanro next to him was carrying a Japanese sword and placed a Japanese sword 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 the Ming Dynasty after landing. The names of Shangyu County and surrounding counties and towns where he landed are all marked on it...
..
"Well done Watanabe!" Naoshima Naoshima said hello to the Japanese pirates who won the sumo wrestling victory. He turned to look at Matsuura Sanbanro who was standing aside and asked with confusion, "Sanbanro, although I'm not good at strategy.
, but following the house governor and my brother, I also knew some ways of using military force under the influence of my ears and eyes. When I went ashore this time and killed and plundered the Ming people's town, shouldn't I flee somewhere far away to avoid the Ming army's pursuit and find the way?
A safe place to recharge your batteries?! Why did you deliberately burn down the houses in the town to attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty? Let the villagers flee and let them send an alarm message? Why do you still occupy this wooden building in the town to rest?! Isn't that so?
Are the Ming troops who are waiting to arrive after hearing the news be surrounded by them?!"
"Straight General, I did this on purpose." Sanbanro Matsuura stopped his brush and said frankly.
"Nani?! Sanbanlang, why did you put us in danger?! But you are not satisfied with His Highness's appointment?!"
Naoshima Naoshima excitedly pressed his Japanese sword with his hand and asked in a stern voice.
"General, straight man, please be patient. General, do you still remember the purpose of our trip?" Matsuura Sanbanro bowed and asked.
"Pry out the reality of the Ming Dynasty, reconnaissance routes, and open the way for the army to plunder the Suhu area of the Ming Dynasty!" Nabeshima Naoman said solemnly.
"So, this is what I am doing today. Burning the houses and letting the villagers flee to warn 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 the army can start to rob in the future.
To plunder the Ming Dynasty, if we know our enemy and ourselves, we can fight without danger."
