Murakami Nanobu held his samurai sword and sat on the lowest level of the cabin, his body swaying as the big ship swayed back and forth.
Getting closer and closer to the coast of Vietnam, the waves are getting bigger and bigger, which makes the samurai who rarely go on the boat to train very uncomfortable. A samurai ten meters away from Murakami Nanobu could not control himself and vomited out.
Fortunately, the samurai hadn't eaten anything at all in the past few days. He just vomited some gastric juice and did not cause large-scale pollution in the cabin.
Originally, hundreds of samurai were crowded in the bottom cabin of the ship, which was already very embarrassing. Coupled with the samurai's vomit, the atmosphere in the bottom cabin was even more depressing.
Hearing the movement in the bottom cabin, a Japanese woman with a headscarf on her head ran down with half a bucket of water. She knelt on the ground and quickly wiped it with a rag, quickly wiping away the vomit on the deck.
Clean.
The woman said in Japanese: "I'm really sorry." Then she backed away with the bucket.
Murakami Nanobu looked at the Japanese woman's back and took a long breath.
A tall samurai next to Murakami Mingxin slapped Murakami on the head and cursed loudly: "Idiot, what are you thinking about?"
Murakami Nanobu said nonchalantly: "Kobayakawa-kun, I was thinking that such a good Japanese woman actually married a Han sailor and cleaned up the ship."
The samurai known as Kobayakawa frowned and patted Murakami's head again.
"Idiot, you are also a member of the Ming Dynasty and a warrior of the Ming Dynasty. Don't you understand?"
Kobayakawa said loudly: "The Emperor is dead, and we are all Ming people! From now on, we will live as Ming warriors and fight all over the world. Don't you understand?"
Hearing Kobayakawa's scolding, half of the samurai in the bottom cabin looked over.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Kobayakawa, who was quite prestigious in the bottom cabin.
Kobayakawa glanced at the samurai around him and said loudly: "The emperor is dead, and all our lords have perished. We have surrendered, and from now on we can only fight as warriors of the Ming Dynasty, as warriors of one town and nine provinces. Murakami! You!
You have to understand this.”
"It is normal for Japanese women to marry sailors from the Ming Dynasty. The sailors on this ship have ninety-two months of money a month and live a prosperous life, far more prosperous than us samurai..."
Before Kobayakawa finished speaking, the sound of a man sobbing came from the corner. Someone was crying secretly in the corner of the crowded bottom cabin, and it sounded very suppressed.
Murakami Minganobu was a little absent-minded. He sat blankly on the board of the boat and suddenly shed a tear.
Kobayakawa looked at the samurai around him and frowned.
Suddenly, a series of whistles came from the distance, and then a whistle sounded from the upper part of the ship where Kobayakawa was on. The ship began to turn.
A Han Chinese official wearing a silk round collar walked down from the upper deck.
Seeing this civil servant, all the smarter samurai in the cabin stood up and saluted the civil servant with their right hands. Kobayakawa also stood up, and he pulled Murakami Meishin up and took Murakami Meishin with him.
Salute this civil servant.
Finally all the warriors stood up.
The civil servant glanced around at the warriors in the bottom cabin.
"We've arrived in Vietnam, get ready to go ashore. Once ashore, line up and gather in front of berth No. 4 and listen to my orders."
The samurai all lowered their heads and shouted loudly: "お!"
"お!"
Kobayakawa was very respectful to this Han civil servant and shouted loudly with honorifics: "fen かった!"
When the Han civil servant saw that the warriors had agreed to him, he nodded and walked back to the upper deck.
Kobayakawa breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the deck again.
Murakami Nanobu continued to stand absentmindedly, without any reaction for a long time.
Kobayakawa pulled Murakami onto the deck and scolded: "Murakami, you are going to ruin the reputation of our Mutsu samurai sooner or later if you act like this."
Murakami Meishin glanced at Kobayakawa and said: "The Han people treat us very badly and make us crowd in this cabin. They don't regard us as samurai at all."
Kobayakawa yelled loudly: "Murakami Mingnobu, how many times do you have to tell me before you understand that General Tokugawa is dead, and the Date family we are loyal to has also perished. Our current master family is the Qi family of one town and nine provinces.
Your Highness, our superior warrior... Our superior is Ning Lanhe, a second-level civil servant in the Vietnam Military District."
"Don't say that Lord Ning asked us to squeeze into the bottom of the cabin. Even if he asked us to commit suicide immediately, we can't neglect it at all. This is our duty as subordinates and our duty as warriors."
Murakami asked: "What are we doing in Vietnam?"
Kobayakawa said coldly: "I don't know."
Murakami thought for a while and said: "I saw a boat at Sendai Pier, and there were many samurai corpses on the boat. I heard from the Yojimbo on the pier that they were all Mutsu samurai who died in Burma."
"I heard that King Qi resisted the Indians in Burma and killed many warriors."
"The King of Qi did not give the Japanese samurai the most advanced weapons and equipment at all. Other Han soldiers had muskets, but the samurai did not. The samurai rushed to the battlefield and fired a shot, and they could only fight with the tall Central Asian warriors with samurai swords.
Together."
When Kobayakawa heard this, he glared at Murakami Nobubu.
Murakami Meinobu ignored Kobayakawa's attitude and continued: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi in one town and nine provinces will not let us go to Vietnam to die, right?"
When Kobayakawa heard this, he became furious. He suddenly roared, jumped on Murakami, raised his fist and hit Murakami on the head.
However, Murakami Minganobu was not a vegetarian. He was punched several times on the deck, and he threw Kobayakawa off with a forceful swing. He and Kobayakawa struggled violently and rolled back and forth on the deck.
The other warriors on the boat were stunned, watching the fierce fight between the two, but no one stepped forward to start a fight.
After a long time, it was Kobayakawa who was stronger, and he finally controlled the struggling Murakami Nobubu.
The left side of his face was swollen by Murakami. He pressed Murakami's face with his right hand and pinned his opponent to the deck. He shouted loudly: "Murakami, you trash, don't you understand? Japan is dead, and we are the ones who are dead."
The surrendered warriors can only be dealt with by the Han people at will. Now that we have been recruited and they ask us to charge, we must risk our lives. They ask us to die, but we cannot blink."
"This is the fate of us warriors. We were born to exist for war. Now we can only gain a little space for survival by using our greatest loyalty to prove to the Han people that we are useful!"
"Murakami coward, don't you understand?"
Listening to Kobayakawa's roar, Murakami's face turned pale and he was speechless.
The other warriors in the bottom cabin all lowered their heads.
