Chapter 1297 The Rise of Xu Hai
Thanks to Xu Weixue, Xu Hai turned from a nephew into a proton!
This day is already the fifteenth day of Xu Hai’s life as a proton, and his resentment towards his uncle Xu Weixue has deepened.
In the early morning, a magpie landed in front of his drafty window and chirped for a long time before flying away.
"There is a bird coming to the window, I guess there will be good news today." Xu Hai smiled for the first time in half a month.
At this moment, he heard footsteps coming from outside, looked up and saw Governor Matsuura walking into the courtyard.
Why is Governor Matsuura here? !
Xu Hai was startled at first, and then he was overjoyed. The Matsuura family governor came in person. It must be that his uncle paid off the debt in advance! It was originally agreed to repay the loan in two months, but now it’s only been half a month! Otherwise, how could Governor Matsuura have time to see his proton?
But why is Governor Matsuura's face so dark? !
After Xu Hai was overjoyed, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Governor Matsuura's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he also smelled like a mess.
What's going on? There is still one and a half months until the repayment time, so why is Governor Matsuura like this? !
Under Xu Hai's surprised eyes, as soon as Governor Matsuura came to the door, he waved his hand to Xu Hai and ordered the warrior behind him, "I will take this Ming monk with you, chop it into pieces, and throw it into the wild. Feed the dog!”
Shit!
What's going on? !
Before Xu Hai could react, he was tied up by two short but majestic Japanese warriors and pulled into the yard like a chicken. After a kick, Xu Hai knelt on the ground with a thud. A Japanese warrior pulled Xu Hai's head with his hand, exposing Xu Hai's neck. Another warrior raised his katana high< br>
Just when Xu Hai was about to die, he heard a shout: "Your Majesty Matsuura, spare someone by the sword!"
Who was shouting to spare someone by the sword? ! Xu Weixue? ! No, it was Xu Hai himself who shouted "Save someone under the knife".
"Your uncle plundered the Baiyue land of the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Xian informed the Ming army that both sides set up an ambush on Nan'ao Island. Your uncle was killed in the ambush! Your uncle is dead. He owes me two Ten thousand taels of gold can only be paid with your dog's life."
The Matsuura family governor waved his hand impatiently and ordered the samurai to kill Xu Hai with a sword. He was so angry!
"Your Highness Matsuura, spare my life, I will serve you and pay off your uncle's debt!" Xu Hai shouted repeatedly.
"You?"
The Matsuura family governor glanced at Xu Hai and sneered disdainfully. Governor Matsuura didn't believe a word of Xu Hai's words. What Xu Weixue said at the beginning was also good, but in the end he lost all his money!
"Your Highness Matsuura, I am a native of the Ming Dynasty. When I was a monk in my early years, I traveled all over the southeast of the Ming Dynasty. The terrain of mountains and rivers in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, the distribution of troops and horses, the barren and rich areas, the ease of attack and the difficulty of defending, etc. are all in my mind. "If I guide His Highness, he will be able to return home with a full load, and the profits will be a hundred times greater than before."
Seeing that Governor Matsuura did not believe his words, Xu Hai hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, while shouting loudly.
Hearing this, the Matsuura family governor finally looked at Xu Hai with his eyes, as if looking at a livable rare commodity. Seeing this, Xu Hai quickly seized the opportunity to promote himself, "I am willing to serve your highness as a dog and horse." Please give me a chance to prove my worth, Your Highness, and I will never disappoint Your Highness!”
"It just so happens that my men will go to Ming Dynasty to plunder tomorrow, so I will give you a chance. If you can prove your worth, I will treat you as an honored guest! If you cannot prove your worth, the wild dog will treat you as an honored guest!"< br>
Governor Matsuura looked at Xu Hai with burning eyes and said slowly.
In fact, the Matsuura family governor has long wanted to find a satisfactory Ming traitor. The Matsuura family made their fortune as a Japanese pirate. They robbed North Korea in the early years and later robbed the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty was different from North Korea. They did not rob the Ming Dynasty. The reason for the success is that the Ming Dynasty is rich in resources and has outstanding people. They are not familiar with the place and the harvest is often not ideal. If there is a qualified leader who is familiar with the mountains and terrain of the Ming Dynasty, knows where the Ming Dynasty is rich and where it is barren, where it is suitable for looting, and where it should be avoided to harvest, it will definitely increase greatly.
When he first cooperated with Wang Zhi, he had this consideration in mind. After learning about Wang Zhi from Uku Mori, he invited Wang Zhi to visit Hirado Island, which belongs to Hizen Country, and Satsuma Country, off the coast of Kyushu. Songpujin was used as a base to build exquisite houses for Wang Zhi so that he could live there for a long time. However, Wang Zhi was too powerful. Not only did the Matsuura family governor fail to achieve his goal, but he also led the wolf into the house. He was restrained by Wang Zhi and had to be careful to please Wang Zhi.
If the traitor named Xu Hai in front of him is true to his words, it will be an unexpected gain.
"Thank you, Your Highness! I, Xu Hai, will prove my worth to Your Highness, so that Your Highness will not regret today's decision!"
Xu Hai kowtowed and swore allegiance to the Matsuura Family Governor.
So, Xu Hai was taken aboard the Matsuura family's Japanese pirate ship the next day, as a low-level Japanese pirate handyman and a traitor leader. The Japanese pirates of the Matsuura family are mainly poor farmers, ronin and samurai of the Matsuura family in Hirado. Less than 30% of the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Hai's miscellaneous Japanese pirates and the Ming traitor leader party have no status among the Matsuura Japanese pirates. It can be said that their status is He is humble and allowed to be called around and drank by others.
I have to say that Xu Hai is talented at being a pirate and a traitor! Of course, this is a derogatory term!
He is cunning and shameless by nature, rich in leadership skills and outstanding military talents, and has the talent to be a pirate; he betrayed his countrymen, his conscience does not hurt at all, he is proactive, familiar with the road and is happy to lead a wave of Another wave of Japanese pirates burned, killed, and looted in the Ming Dynasty, and they had the talent of being traitors.
The first time he went out to sea with the Matsura Japanese pirates to plunder, he guided the Matsura Japanese pirates to the territory of Songjiang Prefecture, and chose Huating County, which was relatively wealthy and easy to acquire in Songjiang Prefecture. He led a group of Matsura Japanese pirates to burn, kill and plunder a village in Huating County. So happy, gold, silver, jewelry, women and children filled one boat after another.
After the robbery, they were chased and surrounded by the army. Xu Hai guided the Songpu Japanese pirates to escape from the army encirclement from a forest path. He even guided the Songpu Japanese pirates through the reed swamp to kill a carbine and another of the surrounding Ming army. Caught off guard, the Ming army lost troops and generals, and Xu Hai led the Songpu Japanese pirates away.
Not only that, on the way home, Xu Hai also assisted the Matsuura Japanese pirate leader in commanding the fleet, avoiding the pursuit and interception of the Ming Dynasty navy.
Xu Hai's first performance in the Matsuura Japanese pirates was perfect, and he was promoted to squad leader by the Matsuura Japanese pirates leader on his way back.
After returning to the Matsuura family territory, the Matsuura family governor was very satisfied with Xu Hai's performance and further promoted Xu Hai to captain.
In the second appearance, Xu Hai made suggestions. First, he gave gold, silver, jewelry and shotguns to the Japanese pirate Wang Mazi in the name of making friends. After gaining Wang Mazi's trust, he led the Japanese pirates in the name of celebrating his birthday. One hundred Matsuura family warriors attended Wang Mazi's birthday banquet, and when they were drunk with wine, Xu Hai suddenly attacked, killed Wang Mazi in one fell swoop, and annexed more than a thousand Japanese pirate tribes and more than 100 Japanese pirate ships under Wang Mazi's command.
In just over a month, Xu Hai won the appreciation and trust of the governor of Matsuura, and joined the leadership of the Matsuura Japanese pirates, with more than a thousand Japanese pirates under his command. Day after day, Xu Hai's status is constantly improving, and his strength is also constantly expanding
