With just one sentence, the originally desperate team suddenly became eager. Everyone knows that in today's situation, a ship represents a living hope. Everyone looked at Matsuura Mori eagerly.
Even if Matsuura Mori didn't explain, the 70 or 80 men under him all understood their situation. The Shimabara Peninsula was surrounded by sea on three sides, and the Date Army was closing in on them on the land side.
Now Matsuura Mori said one word, and everyone who was already desperate looked at Matsuura Mori eagerly. Matsuura Mori said with a slightly proud tone: "You all know that our Matsuura Party is engaged in maritime business. We are looking for a place near the peninsula. Isn¡¯t it difficult to berth a large ship in a harbor?¡±
The Matsuura Party is entrenched in the northern part of Hizen Province. It is a samurai group famous for its navy from the Heian Period to the Warring States Period. After experiencing the Battle of Bunei and the Battle of Koan with the Chinese Yuan Dynasty, it began to invade the Korean coast with retaliation. Since its base is in Tsushima Island, Iki Island, and Hirado Island are three islands, so they are called the three islands of Japanese pirates by North Korea.
By the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to the fact that the Southern Dynasty supported by the Matsuura family had been at a disadvantage for a long time, and its economy was suppressed by the stronger Northern Dynasty, the original political revenge and robbery against North Korea turned into pure piracy against North Korea and the southeastern coast of China.
After the Southern Dynasty was unified by the Northern Dynasty, it entered the Muromachi Shogunate era. Since the second-generation shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu showed favor to the Ming Dynasty to develop the joint trade, he began to strictly ban piracy. The Matsuura Party therefore focused on the development of trade.
During the Warring States Period, Takanobu Matsuura, the governor of the Hirado Matsuura family, conquered the northern part of Hizen Province and the Iki Province and became a vassal. In particular, he directly participated in the Japanese pirates and maintained a close relationship with the Wangzhi Group. As a result, the Hirado Matsuura family's economic and military strength expanded rapidly, and they suddenly seized the dominant position originally belonging to the Sogamiura Matsuura family from the head of the branch family.
The Aigami Ura Matsuura family was oppressed by the Hirado Matsuura family, and their power and reputation were greatly reduced. At this time, Arima Qingjun saw the opportunity and sent a son to the successor Kamiura Matsuura's family. The Sogamiura Matsuura family united with Arima Harujun to fight against Matsuura Takanobu. Later, Arima Harujun's son inherited the position of governor of the Sogamiura Matsuura family. This governor is now Matsuura Mori.
The Sogami Ura Matsuura family lost their status as the leading family and their strength was greatly reduced. However, the tradition of being a maritime samurai group was not forgotten. What's more, in order to fight and expand territory, Arima Harujun also made Matsuura Mori develop in the direction of the navy.
Hearing Matsuura Mori¡¯s explanation, everyone remembered Matsuura Mori¡¯s origins and looked at Matsuura Mori even more eagerly. Matsuura Mori looked around and said: ¡°The boat is fine, but we have to think about where to go?¡±
It was about personal interests. When Matsuura Mori asked, everyone was confused. However, many smart people still looked at Matsuura Mori, and one person asked: "Sir, you say, we listen to you."
Everyone suddenly realized that now that Matsuura Sheng knew where the ship was, he was taking control of everyone's lives. Now when talking about where to go, he gave some warnings to those who had different intentions, and they all agreed.
Matsuura Sheng said: "Everyone, now 300,000 Date troops are marching all the way to Kyushu. It doesn't matter who we go to. You can rest assured that they will not betray us? Aren't they going to be duplicitous?"
Everyone nodded, with heavy expressions. Matsuura Mori was right. They were able to break out from Hinoe City's 20,000 to 30,000-strong army, and then escaped by boat from a desperate situation. Two loud slaps hit Date in succession. The faces of the military leaders and generals showed that everyone in the Date Army would definitely want them desperately. Even if they wanted to live peacefully and peacefully, they couldn't be farmers.
Matsuura said to himself: "The Date Army has already entered Kyushu, and the family of Northern Kyushu's great tycoon Otomo is about to be destroyed. No one can be spared. The unification of Kyushu is just around the corner. We have no place to stay in Kyushu."
The Date family has a huge power. If they are wanted to search and arrest them, as long as they issue an order, someone will naturally be greedy for the bounty and kidnap them and send them to the Date family. It is very difficult to find a place to stay in Kyushu.
Matsuura Mori saw that everyone had been told this and hurriedly put forward his own ideas, saying: "Everyone, although the Sogami Matsuura family has been deprived of their status as leader by the evil thieves of the Hirado family, they still have some connections at sea. , you know some information that others don¡¯t know, do you know Wang Zhi?¡±
Wang Nao may only exist in the minds of the upper class and merchants who rely on maritime trade on Honshu Island, but in Kyushu, especially in Hizen Province, he is a well-known big shot.
Matsuura Sheng continued: "Wang Zhi's son Wang Ao led his army to conquer a large territory in the Ming Dynasty and became the king and hegemon. Many members of the former Matsuura Party became popular under his command. I am now in Japan. I have no place to stay, and I have already thought about taking the risk to go to the Ming Dynasty. I don¡¯t know what you think.¡±
Matsuura Sheng was frightened for a while,??In addition, he is still in control of the ship, so naturally no one objects. What's more, they take themselves too seriously now. Who would take these lowly people in their eyes and issue a high reward for them, or just go to sleep? Bar.
People under the eaves will bow their heads for now. Seeing that everyone agreed, Matsuura Sheng said loudly: "It's okay to say no now. Let's part ways here. You take your Yangguan Road, and I'll take my single-plank bridge. Once you get on the boat, if you want to go back on your word, don't blame me for turning your back on others. .¡±
Now the Date army is encircling them, and they will search here soon. Staying here is a dead end. Even if some people don't want to leave, Matsuura Mori has revealed his plan in full, instead of telling them clearly who dares to oppose whom. will be silenced.
Everyone agreed with Matsuura Mori's idea and worshiped Matsuura Mori as the leader.
Naturally, Matsuura Mori led everyone to search for his ship. It seems that this article is missing. In fact, this Matsuura Mori will appear in the following article and played some small role in the relationship between Japan and Ming Dynasty. Matsuura Mori will continue to play his role as the leader of the Matsuura people under Mao Haifeng.
First of all here.
Matsuura Mori¡¯s dash to seize the road became Hinoe City¡¯s swan song. It shocked not only the entire Hinoe City, but also Katayama Hironaga, Iga Hisataka, Yoshida Masashige and others.
Katayama Hironaga did not become angry. He said calmly: "Send a letter to the defenders in the city and tell them that we will give Arima Seinchun and his son time to commit seppuku. If there is no reply after one hour, the general attack will begin."
However, Iga Hisataka and Yoshida Masashige looked at Katayama Hironaga with slight surprise. They did not expect that Katayama Hironaga did not kill them all.
