Of course, Du Fei did not expect that his second prisoner would be Kuuki Yoko, the sister of the Pirate King Kuuki Yoshiro. At this time, he was taking Yoko, who was tied up by Gokadai, on a small boat to negotiate with Kuuki. Because he knew that this trip was dangerous, he only took two
A seasoned wild warrior is by his side.
I saw that Yoko didn't make any noise along the way. She seemed to have guessed Du Fei's intention. Not only did she cooperate with the directions obediently, but she also smiled from time to time. (When my brother sees me tied up like this, he will come up.
Kill you!)
Du Fei looked back at her. This girl's abnormal behavior made him feel a little uneasy.
Sure enough, before approaching Jiuki Jialong's navy camp, more than a dozen Guan boats came in an aggressive manner and surrounded Du Fei's boat, making it as hard as an iron barrel to move.
"I was sent by Marugame Town to negotiate. I want to see Kuki Yoshitaka~~ Please help me lead the way." Du Fei didn't care about their arrogance. To him, one person sent by the other party is still ten thousand people.
All the same, he was not here to fight at all.
"It's not necessary! Just tell me!" Katsunari Watanabe stood on the largest ship directly in front and looked at the astonished Yoko and Du Fei with a smile.
"What do you mean? Watanabe!" Yoko stood up and asked despite being tied up.
Du Fei saw it clearly, and his head turned very fast: "Then I have to congratulate the new leader. It seems that I can just tell you directly. Your Excellency has just ascended the throne, so you should give some benefits to the nearby townspeople~~"
Watanabe was very impressed by the few words he said and nodded repeatedly: "Hmm~ You know the current affairs very well! This is easy to talk about! You guys stay with me for now, and after I give this guy Kuki the last blow, we can talk about our affairs~"
After saying that, he directed his men to take Yoko, Du Fei and others, who were being beaten and kicked, to his ship.
"Let's go! Let you see how I killed that guy Kuki! Come on! Take Ms. Yoko under strict guard!" Watanabe was in a good mood after being praised. He wanted others to know his methods so that he could rule the neighborhood in the future.
Shang Town went more smoothly. Secondly, when he saw that Du Fei was alert and calm, he had the idea of taking him under his account.
He thought that Du Fei and others were just a few ordinary mercenaries and townspeople, and didn't take them to heart at all. Little did he know that Du Fei, who had been praising him on the surface, was already quietly observing his strength.
Sixteen ships, with about 20 people on each ship, a total of more than 300 people~ Du Fei was silently calculating in his heart, his eyes were still scanning Watanabe Katsunari's flagship, and saw that the rest of the people were
Wearing a sailor shirt made of coarse cloth with a Shikoku style cardigan, but only the four muscular men wearing belts around Watanabe wore the same dark soft leather armor as Watanabe, and they kept instructing the sailors around him to do this.
Gan Na, it seems that these are Watanabe's confidants.
Suddenly, the water ahead suddenly narrowed, and a small island appeared on the horizon.
Only when Du Fei got closer did he realize that this was actually an artificial island! The ground of the island was made of thick wooden boards and long iron nails. At the edge of the island were iron cables used by more than a dozen abandoned ships.
They are connected together. The best thing is that four large anchors are placed in the sea at the four corners of the island to fix the island so that it does not float around. I guess when the pirates get tired of staying here, they can just put them
The four anchors are pulled out from the water and can float in the wind, wherever they want to go! I wonder who the genius came up with this idea, it is really amazing.
Du Fei was sighing when he heard a low and fierce warning from Watanabe: "We are about to take action! Just stay on the boat! Don't move around without my order! Otherwise, you will die without knowing what happened."
Die!" After saying that, he took most of his men off the boat, leaving only about ten people on the boat to guard them.
As soon as he got off the boat, Du Fei began to get close to the pawns who were left behind. After a while, he took out dozens of small coins from his arms and gave them to them: "I will inevitably trouble you in the future. Please take care of me~~"
The pawns, who usually didn't have much luck, saw that Du Fei was so open and generous, and they all started chatting with him. Du Fei gradually turned the topic to some issues that interested him: for example, how many people are there on the island?
~~How many ships are there~What kind of weapons do most of them use? It didn't take long for him to figure out these issues clearly. But he was still not satisfied with the situation he had grasped. He chatted with a relatively honest-looking pirate about ferrying.
The reason why Bian Shengcheng seized power.
After the soldier looked around, he sighed and whispered to Du Fei: "Actually, Watanabe Katsunari is also a brother who has followed Kuuki Yoshiro for more than ten years. If it hadn't been for the recent decision of the Kuuki leader that triggered a conflict between him and some of his brothers,
If he is dissatisfied, he will never betray the leader and seize power."
"Oh? What decision?" Du Fei asked with interest.
It turns out that the Kumano Navy led by Kuki Yoshitaka has always been suppressed by the Shima Navy of the Shima Sea, and has been struggling to survive. The so-called Pirate King's name has long been unworthy of the title of Yoshitaka's father.
In fact. After becoming the leader of the Kumano Navy, Kuki Yoshitaka has been committed to cooperating with neighboring daimyo, which has caused dissatisfaction among many gang members. Because gaining the support of daimyo comes at a price, if the daimyo you support wants to start a water war, you must
Free warships and sailors are provided for fire support. If something goes wrong, the daimyo he supports will be defeated and he will be left with nothing to lose. In recent years, the daimyo Kono family that Kuuki has been supporting has been losing ground in the battles between the Mori family and the Miyoshi family.
He completely lost the prestige of the former hegemon of the Western Shikoku. This also caused heavy losses to the Kumano Navy who supported him. The strength that the Kumano Navy had finally accumulated in the past few years was exhausted. The Kumano Navy, which originally had several thousand people, was on the verge of death last year.
After a fierce battle with the powerful Maori navy Kodama and the British troops, less than a thousand people were left!
Under such circumstances, Watanabe Katsunari, the son of Watanabe Michimori, the veteran of the Kumano Navy, had the intention to seize power. In the past few years, he has actively won over the gang members, paying special attention to the rise of the gang.
Winning over young talents. The four people around him are the best generals in recent years, all of whom are superb in martial arts. Kuki Yoshitaka was focused on maintaining the bleak situation of the Kumano Navy, and was not aware of Watanabe's rebellion at all.
Meaning.
"Yesterday, Watanabe received a shocking news. As soon as this news is announced, the leader of the Nine Ghosts will probably be unable to sit still even without using force." The pirate boy suddenly stopped when he said this, with a proud look on his face.
Zise: "No one else knows about this news. I was the only one who accidentally heard it yesterday when I was on guard duty~"
"What's the news?" Du Fei asked with his eyes widened, while quietly handing dozens more copper coins into his hand.
The pawn was actually far less honest than he looked. He happily stuffed the money into his pocket and continued: "The Kono family~~ is the daimyo supported by our Kumano Suijun~ has reached an agreement with the Mori family a few days ago.
If the conditions are met, they will become subjects of the Maori family from now on!"
"Ah!" Du Fei understood how big a blow this news would have on Jiuki's prestige. It was very likely that before Watanabe could rebel, he would be kicked off the stage by the angry crowd.
