Chapter 1433 Assault on the Ming Dynasty in the west, set sail
Ryuzoji Takanobu is as strong as a bear, with eyes as narrow and long as poisonous snakes, and his clothes are very noble. Standing on the edge of the viewing platform, he has a majestic demeanor and impressive bearing. The one hundred warriors kneeling under the stage did not dare to look up.
Ryuzoji Takanobu stood there, scanning the kneeling warriors under the stage one by one. After a moment, he stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation. A penetrating voice sounded above the heads of the warriors, " After two days of life and death competition in the ring, you all stood at the end and are qualified to stand upright in front of me. Come on, everyone, I grant you the honor of not kneeling when you see me.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
One hundred people! When the samurai heard that Ryuzoji Takanobu had rewarded them with the honor of not kneeling in public, they all flushed with excitement.
"I have seen your performance in the arena, and I am very satisfied! Life is once, but only a few decades. The past is like a dream. There is life and death. If you passively accept the destiny, you will always be just a person. Soldiers! Only by working hard can you shine and live without regrets!"
Ryuzoji Takanobu's magnetic voice echoed above the heads of the warriors, burning their blood instantly.
"You all understand the purpose of this competition in the arena, right?!" Ryuzoji Takanobu looked at the warriors with a burning look.
"Go back to your highness, I will wait for it to be clear. Select elites to travel west to the Ming Dynasty, spy on the reality of the Ming Dynasty, reconnaissance routes, and prepare for the army to plunder the Ming Dynasty." Matsuura Sanbanro and other samurai replied in unison.
Ryuzaoji Takanobu nodded slightly, and then glanced at everyone, "This time we are crossing to the Ming Dynasty, you are the only one hundred warriors and the fifty warriors under my command. There are only one hundred and fifty people. Are you afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid!" Matsuura Sanbanro and others said in unison.
"円西! In the eyes of a coward, you can often see the enemy's army; but in the eyes of a brave man, you can always see the way forward! Although the Ming Dynasty is the most powerful in the world country, but because one family has been the only one for thousands of years, there is no country around it that can compete with it and serve as a training ground, so it grows wildly alone, Now it has many branches and has grown crookedly, and its trunk is hollow and rotten! It is now weak and it is a God-given opportunity to pick its rich and sweet fruits! Although the journey is long, the road is still there! On this trip, the road may be full of thorns, but the samurai sword can overcome them!" Ryuzoji Takanobu said impassionedly to the group of samurai.
"Your Highness, please take a look at our performance, we will not disappoint Your Highness!" Matsuura Sanbanro and other samurai were encouraged to say with excitement that their faces turned red and their necks were thick.
"Good! If you have any other requests for this trip, just ask them, I will definitely satisfy you!" Ryuzoji Takanobu nodded with satisfaction and asked them.
"No! One boat and one sword are enough!" Matsuura Sanbanro and other samurai replied with a proud look on their faces.
Seeing this, Ryuzoji Takanobu nodded with satisfaction and said in approval, "You live up to the name of a samurai!"
"Nabeshima Naoji, come here!" Ryuzoji Takanobu said to the attendant The fifty warriors of the Ryuzoji family standing nearby called out.
“My lord!” Naoshima Naoji and other fifty samurai responded and came to pay their respects.
The Nabeshima family is a die-hard supporter of the Ryuzoji family. Nabeshima Naoji is the third son of the Nabeshima family. When Nabeshima was ten years old, he was served by the family for ten years and six years old, Ryuzoji Takanobu. It can be said that I grew up wearing a pair of pants. Naoshima Naoshima has a reputation as a warrior, and even his brother Nabeshima Naoshima is no match for him. However, although Naoshima Naoshima is brave, he is not good at strategy. He is as straight as his name, so he is not as famous as his brother Nabeshima Naoshige.
"Nabeshima Naoman, from now on, you will be under the command of Matsuura Sanbanro until you return from the westward journey to the Ming Dynasty."
Ryuzoji Takanobu ordered Nabeshima Naoo.
"Nani?!" Nabeshima Naoji thought he heard wrongly when he heard that Ryuzoji Takashi ordered them to be commander-in-chief Matsuura Sanbanro. They are the generals of Ryuzoji Takanobu, the representative of the Ryuzoji family, and the Matsuura family general samurai Sai Asashi Daming. The Ryuzoji family should be in charge, but the lord actually made them the commander-in-chief of the Matsuura family general? !
"What, you didn't listen to what I said?!" Ryuzoji Takanobu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Don't dare to disobey the Lord's order, Naoshima takes the order!" Naoshima Naoshima kowtowed to the leader, then bowed to Matsuura Sanbanro and said, "Sanbanro, please give me some advice! Naoshima Naoji The male general will obey your order!”
“I can’t do it. I absolutely can’t do it. Please take back your order. The straight man is known as a swordsman. Sanban Lang was unable to catch the horse, so how could he be qualified to command Zhi Nan Jun? This trip to the west to attack the Ming Dynasty was full of dangers. Although the Ming Dynasty's army was weak, they were outnumbered and had no shortage of warriors. Only the most brave people could lead the army. Break through the encirclement and interception of the Ming Dynasty’s army and complete the mission. Therefore, Mr. Zhinan is the perfect choice for commander!”
Governor Matsuura stepped forward anxiously, waved his hands repeatedly, and insisted on asking Ryuzoji Takanobu to withdraw his order and appoint Nabeshima Naoo as the commander-in-chief of the Western Assassin.
"Your Highness, yesterday, I had a discussion with General Nabeshima Naoshima, and I was the defeated general under General Nabeshima Naoshima. Today, Your Highness ordered me, my defeated general, to command General Nabeshima. Sanbanro Wuyan I accept the order and please forgive me!”
Matsuura Sanbanro knelt down and kowtowed before saying goodbye.
"You guys, alas. If that's the case, then for the time being, Nabeshima Naoto will be the commander of the Western Assassination of the Ming Dynasty, and you, Sanbanro, will be the deputy commander. Nabeshima, listen carefully, although you are brave enough to rule the roost. , but you are not good at strategy. Although you are the commander-in-chief of this trip to the west to assassinate the Ming Dynasty, you need to ask for advice on everything. Sanbanro, follow Sanbanro’s advice.”
Under the advice of the Matsuura family governor and Matsuura Sanbanro, Ryuzoji Takanobu sighed in embarrassment, took back his fame, and changed his position to pot. As the commander-in-chief, Nabeshima Naoo specifically instructed Nabeshima Naoo to follow Matsuura Sanbanro's advice.
"I obey!"
Nabeshima Naoo, Matsuura Sanbanro and other samurai took the order.
"Good! I have finished my words, please give Matsuura-sama a lesson." Ryuzoji Takanobu turned to look at the Matsuura family governor.
"Your Highness's words are very kind, so I will not continue to follow the example." Governor Matsuura waved his hand and declined.
"In that case, then you go down and get familiar with each other, and when the auspicious time comes, set sail for the Ming Dynasty!" Ryuzoji Takanobu nodded.
After about tea time, a retainer of the Matsuura family came to report, "Your Majesty, your highness, the auspicious time has come!"
Ryuzoji Takanobu and the Matsuura family governor looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and moved Nabeshima Naoman, Matsuura Sanbanro and others were summoned, and each was rewarded with a glass of wine. The two of them held the wine glasses together and saluted Naoshima Nabeshima and others, "This cup After drinking, you will set sail. The sea is vast, the Ming Dynasty is rich and vast, and everything is at your feet. We are waiting for your triumphant return. In the future, you will be the biggest heroes when the army plunders the Ming Dynasty! br>
"Your Highness/Lord, please wait for our return!" Naoshima Naoshima, Matsuura Sanbanro and others drank it all in one gulp. After a while, two Japanese pirate ships set sail outside Hirado Port
