That servant is Ueno Nakamitsu's confidant. Usually relying on Ueno Nakamitsu's power, he can be regarded as a tyrant in the port. Therefore, this person knows the merchants of the Ming Dynasty very well, and he also knows the merchants from the Ming Dynasty very well.
What do the businessmen look like?
It is impossible for Ueno Nakamitsu to have to take part in everything on his own. In many cases, someone would naturally have to take part in some shady activities. This servant was one of the confidants who ran errands for Ueno Nakamitsu.
At this moment, this man had a look of fear on his face, and he couldn't help but shake his head after hearing Ueno Nakamitsu's words.
Upon seeing this, Ueno Nakamitsu looked at the other party in confusion and said, "Matsushita Yokoji, what do you mean?"
Apparently Ueno Nakamitsu was a little confused as to what Matsushita Yokoji was shaking his head to indicate. Could it be that there were not that many merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty?
Matsushita Yokoji took a deep breath, glanced at Ueno Nakamitsu secretly, gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, those people don't seem to be businessmen from the Ming Dynasty, more like..."
Ueno Nakamitsu frowned and said: "Who are they if they are not businessmen? Could it be that they are still a group of pirates?"
As he said this, even Ueno Nakamitsu couldn't help but laugh. Although Ishigami was not a very big country, its military strength was not weak at all. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to survive under the prying eyes of the surrounding countries.
If you live in that stone, you will see the silver mountain.
Precisely because the national strength of Ishijian Kingdom is not bad, even some pirates dare not come to the port of Ishijian Kingdom to act wild.
Matsushita Yokoji said: "Sir, those seem to be Akito's warships!"
Ueno Nakamitsu, who had a relaxed look on his face, suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard this, looked at Matsushita Yokoji in disbelief and screamed: "What, what did you say?"
Looking at Ueno Nakamitsu, who was almost close to him, with a ferocious look on his face, Matsushita Yokoji subconsciously took a step back and said in a trembling voice: "Akito... Akito's warship has probably entered the port..."
There was a loud bang, as if to confirm what Yokoji said
.
"Where did the gunfire come from?"
Ueno Nakamitsu almost screamed, with a look of shock on his face. After all, he also manages the entire port. There are still a few cannons in the port, although these cannons are usually just for decoration.
, but Nakamitsu Ueno was able to distinguish the sound of the cannon.
Kicking Matsushita Yokoji away, Ueno Nakamitsu almost rushed out of the room and ran straight to the port. Matsushita Yokoji who had fallen to the ground suddenly got up and looked at Ueno Nakamitsu running towards the port, his eyes wide.
In a sudden turn, he did not follow, but rushed into the room. Amid the screams of the servants, Matsushita Yokoji actually found some of the gold and silver jewelry hidden by Ueno Nakamitsu, packed them up and fled without a trace.
.
Ueno Nakamitsu never dreamed that Matsushita Yoji, whom he usually regarded as a confidant, would choose to run away at this time.
It's no wonder that Matsushita Yokoji, you know, when the Ming Dynasty Navy fleet led by Chu Yi appeared outside the port, Matsushita Yokoji saw with his own eyes the black mass of at least hundreds of ships.
Such a huge momentum almost scared Matsushita Yokoji out of his wits. He could run back and report the news to Ueno Nakamitsu, which was already good. He wanted him to follow Ueno Nakamitsu to the port and face the ships directly.
The ship, Matsushita Yoji couldn't muster up the courage anyway.
But it was said that Ueno Nakamitsu's own residence was in the port, so when he rushed out of his residence, in just a blink of an eye, Ueno Nakamitsu came to an open space, which was where the port of Iwami Kuni was.
Standing in front of the port, you can clearly see the scene on the sea outside the port from a distance. However, when Ueno Nakamitsu really saw the scene on the sea outside the port, Ueno Nakamitsu was completely stunned.
There it is.
Ueno Nakamitsu's eyes were wide open, his face was full of horror, and he murmured to himself: "How is this possible, how is this possible, it must be an illusion, this must be an illusion..."
There was a boom, and suddenly, a shell exploded not far from Ueno Nakamitsu. This was a new type of explosive shell developed by Chu Yi. It was not bad. Although it did not hurt Ueno Nakamitsu, it was
It also killed two unlucky people in the port and injured them on the spot.
The shrill scream suddenly woke up Ueno Nakamitsu. When Ueno Nakamitsu saw the broken limbs on the ground, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he turned around and ran away.
There were originally hundreds of defenders on the port. On weekdays, these defenders relied on the oil and water in the port to make themselves fattened. I don't know how many other people were envious of them.
But at this moment, hundreds of defenders had already rushed into the port with Yu Dayou's vanguard fleet and violently shelled several forts on the shore. These defenders were so frightened that they fled away one by one.
If only one or two ships want to attack the port, then these defenders may muster up the courage to resist. The key point is that it is not just one or two ships that rush into the port.
After the few ships commanded by Yu Dayou, there was a dense darkness, at least hundreds of ships.
These defenders are not fools. There are so many ships and tens of thousands of people. If they run over to resist, they will probably be drowned by the saliva of the opponent.
As the port defenders and Ueno Nakamitsu fled, the weak resistance of the port disappeared in an instant. After Yu Dayou's round of shelling, the entire port fell into chaos. It can be clearly seen through the telescope.
A large number of Japanese aliens are fleeing in panic, but no one is guarding the port.
The hull of the ship trembled slightly, but it was Yu Dayou's flagship that arrived at the shore. There were more than three hundred soldiers of the Ming Dynasty riding on Yu Dayou's flagship.
At this moment, Yu Dayou was heard shouting: "Soldiers, follow me to land!"
I saw Yu Dayou jumping first, jumping off the big ship nearly two feet high, and landing steadily on the port. At the same time, a wide horizontal board came down from the big ship, and suddenly I saw
A famous scholar stepped on the wide horizontal board and landed very quickly.
On the sea in the distance, large ships are slowly sailing into the port. Standing on the huge flagship, Chu Yi can clearly see the situation in the port with the help of his telescope. When he sees Yu Dayou leading
When a group of soldiers successfully landed, Chu Yi couldn't help but smile a little and nodded slightly.
Although a smooth landing was expected, after all, the Shijian Kingdom alone, not to mention the lack of defenses in the Shijian Kingdom, would definitely not be able to stop the landing of the Ming Dynasty Navy.
If even a mere Shijian port could not successfully land, then Chu Yi would not even think about attacking Japan, and simply pat his butt and return to the Ming Dynasty.
As the soldiers led by Yu Dayou successfully landed, in just a blink of an eye, the soldiers loaded on several ships also disembarked from the ships and successfully landed ashore.
Thousands of soldiers have firmly occupied the port. Even if Shi Jianguo reacted at this time, it would be too late to prevent the army from landing.
Almost an hour later, the number of soldiers who successfully landed has reached tens of thousands, and at the same time, the soldiers who landed have begun to expand outward.
Ueno Nakamitsu was suppressed by the black fleet, but after escaping, he headed straight for Iwami Castle several miles away.
The only city in Iwami Kingdom can be said to be the core of Iwami Kingdom. It has gathered about 20% of the population of Iwami Kingdom, and it can be said to be the most prosperous place.
Of course, this so-called prosperity is compared to the barren Japan.
Ueno Nakamitsu hurriedly entered the city, and then ran towards the direction of the Ouchi family.
In front of that eye-catching manor, several soldiers blocked Ueno Nakamitsu from the door.
Although Ueno Nakamitsu is said to be an effective retainer of Ouchi Yoshihiro, it is obviously unrealistic to break into the Ouchi family's residence without permission.
All I could hear was the anxious look on Ueno Nakamitsu's face as he yelled at the family soldier who stopped him: "Go to Tongbei quickly and tell Ueno Nakamitsu that he has something important to do and wants to see the master of the family!"
Several family soldiers glanced at Ueno Nakamitsu unmoved. One of them glanced at Ueno Nakamitsu unhurriedly and said: "Ueno-kun, the master of the family is busy with something important at the moment. Don't be impatient. Wait for me."
Go and help you!"
Hearing this, Ueno Nakamitsu couldn't help but jump to his feet and said: "Samu Kamibei, hurry up and call the head of the family. This is an urgent matter, otherwise our country will be in danger!"
Sagi Jobei was one of the commanders of the Ouchi clan's army. Unlike Tao Xingfang, who was the military governor, Saoki Jobei was the commander of the Ouchi clan's personal soldiers. It can be said to be the Ouchi clan's last line of defense.
It can be imagined that Sagi Johei is definitely Ouchi Yoshiki's most trusted confidant, far more than Ueno Nakamitsu and other retainers.
Hearing Ueno Nakamitsu's words at this moment, Sagi Joubei couldn't help but frown. He saw Sagi Joubei turn around and walk into the courtyard, and disappeared without a trace as his figure rose and fell, revealing a strong and healthy body.
Martial arts cultivation.
Outside the hall, Sagi Johei respectfully said to Ouchi Yoshihiro in the hall: "Master, Ueno Nakamitsu has something important to see you."
At this time, Ouchi Yoshiki was having a conversation with the same person in the living room. Just looking at Ouchi Yoshiki's attitude, it was enough to tell that this person's status was probably not much worse than Ouchi Yoshiki's.
This person is Maori Buntoku of Aki Province. Aki Province is a country founded by the Mori clan. Like Izumo Country, Aki Province has always been eyeing Iwami Ginzan. The relationship between the Mori clan and the Ouchi clan
The fighting and fighting has been going on for decades.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Mouri clan and the Ouchi clan are absolutely mortal enemies. If people see that Mouri Wende, a figure with enough status in the Mouri clan to be ranked among the top three, actually talks with the head of the Ouchi clan,
If you laugh, your eyes will probably fall off.
Ouchi Yoshihiro, who was conversing with Mori Buntoku, looked at the solemn Sagi Kamei standing outside the hall and couldn't help but frown. He said to Mori Bontoku with some apology: "I made you laugh."
As he spoke, Ouchi Yoshihiro said to Sagi Kamibei: "Don't you see that my master is entertaining distinguished guests? Please take Nonaka Hikaru to the study and wait for me!"
When Ueno Nakamitsu saw Sagi Joubei, he couldn't help but step forward and stare at Sagi Joubei, and said with some expectation: "Samu Joubei, has the head of the family summoned me now?"
Ueno Nakamitsu was naturally eager to see Ouchi Yoshihiro, and then informed Ouchi Yoshihiro of the inexplicable appearance of many ships outside the port.
Sagi Kamibei glanced at Ueno Nakamitsu indifferently and said: "The master of the house is entertaining distinguished guests at the moment. He ordered me to take you to the study. After the master of the house has finished entertaining the distinguished guests, he will go to see you."
Ueno Nakamitsu couldn't help but change his expression when he heard this. There was a hint of panic on his face, and he almost grabbed Zuomu Joubei and yelled. Even so, Ueno Nakamitsu stared at Zuomu Joubei and screamed.
Said: "Zaomu Shanghei, you didn't tell the head of the family. If it were too late, I, Shi Jianguo, would probably no longer exist in the world!"
Suddenly, an angry shout came: "You bastard, it's unreasonable for my family leader to trust you so much, Ueno Nakamitsu, you actually cursed me, the Ouchi clan, what are your intentions?"
At this moment, Ouchi Yoshihiro was walking over with Mori Bontoku, who was hiding in black clothes. It seemed that he was about to see Mori Bontoku off. He happened to hear the conversation between Ueno Nakamitsu and Sagi Kamei.
dialogue between.
Ouchi Yoshihiro did not expect that Ueno Nakamitsu would say that Ishimi Country would soon cease to exist. How could this not make Ouchi Yoshihiro angry?
Who doesn’t know that the Iwami Kingdom was founded by the Ouchi clan? If Ishijian Kingdom does not exist in the world, doesn’t it mean that the Ouchi clan has been destroyed? Otherwise, as long as there are still people in the Ouchi clan,
Then the country of Shijian will not be considered destroyed.
If he didn't hear it in private, that's it. Now not only did he hear it, but even Mori Wende heard it. Even if he didn't see Mori Wende, he couldn't help but look at Ue Nonaka with a strange look.
Hikaru glanced at him, and finally looked at Ouchi Yoshihiro with a strange expression.
Ouchi Yoshihiro couldn't help but yell angrily when he noticed Mori Bontoku's gaze.
While he was pulling Sagi Johei to try to get Sagi Johei to go see Ouchi Yoshihiro again, suddenly a very familiar voice sounded behind him.
Ueno Nakamitsu trembled, with a look of surprise. Ueno Nakamitsu suddenly turned around and looked at Ouchi Yoshihiro. In Ueno Nakamitsu's eyes, there was no one else but Ouchi Yoshihiro.
Even Mori Buntoku, who was standing next to Ouchi Yoshihiro, was subconsciously ignored by Ueno Nakamitsu.
Looking at Ouchi Yoshihiro, Ueno Nakamitsu could no longer bear it. His face was full of panic and he trembled towards Ouchi Yoshihiro: "Master, something serious has happened. A huge fleet suddenly entered the harbor.
I am afraid that the entire port has been occupied at this moment..."
"What!"
Ouchi Yoshihiro was heard exclaiming, and he looked at Ueno Nakamitsu in horror, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Not to mention Ouchi Yoshiki, even Mouri Wentoku, who was born in Aki Province, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Ueno Nakamitsu in astonishment. Apparently, he was also disturbed by the news that Ueno Nakamitsu told.
with a confused look on his face.
After regaining his composure, Ouchi Yoshihiro couldn't help shouting at Ueno Nakamitsu with an angry face: "Ueno Nakamitsu, you are so brave. Could it be that the head of the family has been too indulgent to you on weekdays, so you dare to talk such nonsense?
Nonsense..."
In front of Mori Buntoku, Ouchi Yoshihiro felt that his face had been completely humiliated by Ueno Nakamitsu, so he naturally roared at Ueno Nakamitsu with great anger.
Ueno Nakamitsu was stunned for a moment, obviously confused by Ouchi Yoshihiro's angry shouts and scoldings, but Ueno Nakamitsu fell to the ground with a thump and screamed: "Master, every word of this statement is true, not a single word of it is true.
Nonsense, if we don’t send troops, our country, Shi Jian, will really perish..."
Seeing Ueno Nakamitsu still saying this, Ouchi Yoshihiro almost instinctively raised his foot and kicked Ueno Nakamitsu. In the past decades, except for fighting with Aki and Izumo countries, Iwami Kuni had never been killed by anyone.
There had been an invasion by sea, and now Ueno Nakamitsu actually told him that a large number of ships came from the sea and were going to deal with them, Iwami Country, so Ouchi Yoshihiro naturally didn't believe it.
After a slight cough, Maori Wendoku standing aside smiled slightly at Ouchi Yoshihiro and said: "If it is true or false, you might as well go and have a look, and you can tell the truth for yourself!"
