However, the Shimai clan said calmly: "Mr. Longchuan is right. What I mean is that we must not offend the Ryuzouji family by doing extreme things. After all, we are within their sphere of influence. Once we anger them,
Well, no matter how many samurai and ronin you hire, it won’t make up for it.”
"Hmph!" Otani said disdainfully: "Don't think that the Ryuzoji family is still a few years ago! The Otomo family of Chikuzen Province is about to invade! Where will you go then? Mr. Shimai? With our Hakata
The town's iron cannon guards (Japanese call muskets iron cannons and cannons large barrels) and mercenaries in Hirado Town can definitely cause them a lot of trouble! The Ryuzouji family is currently busy with frontline military affairs and has no ability to touch us! Now
We just need to unite those small towns and villages, and we can definitely bring back the life of that old guy from the Ryuzoji Takashi family! And we have to raise taxes!? Is there any mistake?"
When everyone heard this, they quickly tried to dissuade him: "Dagu! You are crazy! You dare to say anything!" Longchuan's expression changed even after he threw it, and he motioned to a guard to observe the surroundings.
Du Fei quickly stepped back and held his breath. Fortunately, the guard simply patrolled for a week and then returned to his seat.
Longchuan Yihui took a long breath and said: "Da Gu, you have to change your temper and say whatever you think! To be honest, we business people just hope to make money smoothly. We are not those who want to
People fighting for the world. This time we are discussing the establishment of the "Shangwu Xiaxin" business and civilian organization to fight against the Ryuzoji family, just to let those in power understand that everything has a limit, and once it is exceeded, it will cause trouble. We have our own world
and rules, who said that only those who lead troops can control the world? As long as we unite, no matter how powerful the daimyo is, they will have to give us three points of face. They can't just do whatever they want! You have to think about it, we have been struggling financially.
How does it feel to support their people!”
Just as he was talking, a slightly older businessman stood up and said: "Should we hire more ronin? You must know that the situation is unstable and the bandits are getting more and more rampant! Not only to deal with the anxious family of Longzuo Temple,
There are also many crises in other aspects!”
"right!"
"That makes sense!"
"That's right! A large group of thieves came that time! The town's protective army could hardly resist them!"
These businessmen all started talking, and it became a bit noisy for a while. Longchuan Yihui looked at the Shimai clan silently in the chaos, as if waiting for something.
Otani was also looking straight at him with his eyes full of beard and his face clouded with clouds.
Shimai clan shook his head in frustration: "Since everyone thinks so, I have no choice but to follow everyone! I hope this move will really be good for us~"
After saying that, he silently went straight to the door, put on his shoes and left.
"So the three elders of Hakata Town have agreed to organize the "Shangwuxiaxin" to fight against the Ryuzoji family's new tax order. I declare! From now on, everyone will start to prepare for the alert and prohibit the entry and exit of the Ryuzoji family! In the town
The iron cannon guards immediately went to collect weapons and medicine. At the same time, they stopped paying taxes! Okay! Everyone go back! Everyone, please be more careful!"
Du Fei understood: It turned out that the merchants in several nearby Daishang towns were also dissatisfied with the Ryuzoji family's continuous tax increases. It seemed that there was really going to be trouble. The merchants didn't want to be like farmers who had neither money nor guns.
They have been doing business with the Chinese and Southern Barbarians for a long time, and have accumulated a large number of firearms. Coupled with their financial advantages, once they rebel, it will really bring a lot of trouble to the Longzuosi family.
Du Fei saw the businessmen leaving the table one by one, and in the end only Longchuan Yitui and Ogu were left talking. He felt that it had nothing to do with him, and when he turned around to leave, he suddenly heard something from the neighbor next door.
A scream came from the room: "Who is it?"
Du Fei was startled: "Did they discover me?" But he didn't see anyone coming to arrest him. Instead, the room next door started to panic on its own! People were pinging and pinging, not knowing who was beating whom.
Before Du Fei could get closer to take a peek, a man suddenly broke through the paper wall of the cubicle and fell at Du Fei's feet.
Du Fei saw that this man was dressed in black, and his face was covered by a black turban, with only two eyes exposed. He had been stabbed several times, and he could not survive.
In the next room, there were seven or eight men in black who were surrounding Longchuan. Ogu and several of their guards saw one of them, a white-haired guard in red, who was very powerful and cut down several of them in just a few blows.
There was a man in black. Seeing that he was difficult to deal with, the remaining people took out an unknown hidden weapon and started shooting at him! I saw the sword in the hand of the guard waving rapidly! The hidden weapon looked like a locust.
He slashed it down! Finally, the tip of his sword picked up the small hole in the middle of the concealed weapon, kept spinning it, and violently threw it back!
A man in black fell to the ground! Seeing that the situation was not going well, the others quickly threw something on the ground. After the explosion, a burst of thick smoke suddenly appeared, and then they ran away in the chaos.
"What a good martial arts!" Du Fei couldn't help but praise.
"Who are you?" the guard in red asked angrily. Several guards behind him also rushed up and surrounded Du Fei.
Du Fei was stunned for a moment by his question: "I am the bodyguard of Feimo House in Zhencheng, and I also drink here. I didn't expect~~to encounter such a big battle!~Haha!"
The man said nothing and turned back to Longchuan Yihuan: "Father, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. It seems that the Longzaosi family has known about our organization's intentions! These must be the ones sent by them.
Ninja! I have already broken my skin, I don’t think there is any need to hide from them anymore! I will bring a few good guys to kill some of their generals now!”
"Hitomiji! Don't mess around! We are a neutral organization after all, and we cannot actively attack others~! Strengthen the protection in the town! Unexpectedly, we hid in the town for a meeting, and we were still targeted by their ninjas."
After that, Longchuan glanced at Du Fei and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back. Da Gu, you should go back quickly!"
Then he hurriedly left with a group of people, leaving behind a mess on the ground and the complaining owner of Fengjiuju.
It seems that these businessmen are determined to go against the Ryuzouji family. The Ryuzouji family doesn't understand either. They are being attacked from both sides and have not paid attention to establishing good relations with the local forces in their rear areas. It seems that this time they are really
It's a hornet's nest.
I saw that the businessman named Otani lost all his domineering attitude when he saw Longchuan leaving. He looked at the guards he had brought with him, and the more he looked at them, the more worried he became. He knew in his heart that these guards of his were not like Longchuan.
Issei's son, Hitomi Nagakawa, has such martial arts skills, but he hired them casually for cheap. The scene just now made him frightened. He originally wanted to ask Nagakawa to send him home, but he felt it was too embarrassing and finally decided not to
Open your mouth.
He said loudly to his few miscellaneous guards: "You! Keep your eyes open! If I do anything good, you won't get a penny!"
