Chapter 1039 Enjoy Five Years, Japanese Pirates? Ming Dynasty Pirates!

"Oh! Buddha, what kind of Heavenly Soldiers of Ming Dynasty can defeat the Yuan Bandits? They are so powerful?!"

"Hmm... Blessed by the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman! All the samurai in the shogunate combined can hardly fight against one of the five fingers of Daming! ... This was also a hundred years ago, when Yoshimitsu, a general of the third generation, accepted the canonization of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and named him 'Japan'. The reason why the king's identity is a vassal to the Ming Kingdom..."

"Ah! Maitreya Buddha blesses you! Even the Supreme Emperor, who was incarnated by Maitreya Buddha, has surrendered to the king of the Ming Kingdom?!"

"Zhuichiro, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not a king, but an emperor who is above the king, and the real reincarnation of the Buddha! In the whole world, there is only such an emperor. There was also the evil ghost king emperor of Yuan Kou before, but he is already here. One hundred years ago, he was killed by Xu Da, the general who was sent by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to conquest barbarians!..."

"Hey! The emperor of the Ming Dynasty can kill the emperor Yuan Kou, the king of evil spirits. That is indeed the reincarnation of the Tathagata Buddha. It's so powerful!..."

When it comes to the "Pang Ran Juming" in the West Sea of ​​Heguo, the monk Watanabe Masumi showed fear, and his expression was obviously a little complicated. He was born in a samurai family in Kyushu, unlike Murakami Jitong and Suichiro, these two local samurai in Ezo, who don't know the power of the Ming country. On the contrary, he is very clear that the strength of the Ming Kingdom is the crushing strength of the entire He Kingdom!

"Buddha's testimony! Although warriors from all over Kyushu organize plundering fleets, they usually only plunder North Korea, and rarely dare to plunder Ming. In fact, our ships can't go that far..."

"Ah? The plundering fleet of the Kyushu samurai family? Looting North Korea?..."

"Um…"

Soldier Watanabe Masumi nodded slightly, and glanced at Jin Shanshu, a shipwright with a nervous expression. As a craftsman of the North Korean government, Jin Shanshu did not have any personal freedom at all, nor could he leave the shipyard. He was able to appear in Heguo and build ships for the big merchants in Sakai Port, which was originally one of the spoils that Kyushu warriors plundered Korea...

"Buddha's testimony! The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had put pressure on the shogunate many times to force the shogunate to restrain clans from all over the world and kill the so-called 'Japanese pirates'..."

Speaking of this, the monk soldier Watanabe Masumi smiled, with both helplessness and sarcasm on his face.

"However, where are the 'Japanese pirates' in the East China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty? If we say that a hundred years ago, when General Yiman pacified the Southern Dynasty, there were still groups of warriors who lost their land. The warriors of the Southern Dynasties have been wiped out long ago, and those who can survive are the Ming pirates themselves! They gathered many boatmen and fishermen on the coast, took in many fleeing military households and civilian households, and recruited a few who lost their masters. The samurai ronin are used as a signboard... In the end, they all dressed up as Japanese warriors and came to plunder Ming's own coast!  …"

"Ah! Why do the Ming people want to rob themselves?"

"Because their government is tyrannical and brutal, and they annexed the land! There are many villagers who can't survive along the coast, and there are tens of thousands of untouchables who live on the boat... These people can only become pirates, relying on plunder and fighting to come. Get a way out!..."

"Tens of thousands of untouchables living on the boat? How can people live on the boat?..."

Hearing Watanabe's words, Murakami Jitong and Suichiro looked at each other, both puzzled. The untouchables on the boat mentioned by Watanabe Masumi are precisely the large number of Dan people in Fujian. Their origins are very complicated, including the remnants of Baiyue and the remnants of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and most of them are Han fugitives who evaded taxes. The untouchables on the ship were not naturalized in the Ming Dynasty, and they were even lower than the lowly ones. They would be expelled by the government everywhere, and even be beheaded and slaughtered by the navy. They can't own land, and they can't participate in all kinds of labor in the countryside and the market, but the number is tens of thousands, which is one of the important sources of coastal pirates!

"Well... those boat people are very good sailors, with excellent water skills..."

The monk Watanabe Masumi touched his bald head. He didn't know much about these boat people, but when he went out to sea on a sea boat, he met those powerful robber ships of the Ming Dynasty pirates and saw them from a distance. Well, it's a meeting of colleagues...

"The ships of the pirates of the Ming Kingdom are much bigger and faster than our Kyushu ships! The Xiaozao and Guan ships of the martial arts families in Kyushu can't cross the sea so far to plunder the Ming Kingdom. Our Xiaozao and Guan Ship are by no means opponents of the Ming Dynasty Navy, they cannot escape if they encounter them... In fact, the powerful sea ships that plundered the coast of the Ming Kingdom were all made by the Ming Kingdom themselves of!…"

"As for the reason for doing this... It seems that the people of the Ming Kingdom on the southeast coast are very resistant to the Emperor of Ming. The taxes they pay seem to be much higher than those in the north of the Ming Kingdom... However, these Ming bandits and pirates who plundered the Ming Kingdom are behind the scenes. The real master is actually from the Ming country... well, powerful and famous!..."

"Ah? Maitreya Buddha! Master Watanabe, why do the powerful and famous people of the Ming Kingdom raise pirates to plunder the Ming Kingdom's own coast?..."

"Buddha's testimony! Probably to earn more money, annex more land, and take in more slaves!...I heard people say that the water supplied by the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, the information they plundered, and the sale of stolen goods The channels are all managed by the powerful and powerful names in the Ming country! They listened to the powerful and powerful names, docked, looted according to the other party's information, and avoided the navy of the Ming government's government, and then sold the goods they robbed. Sell ​​it to the tyrants at a high price... To put it bluntly, the Ming Kou are just dogs raised by the powerful and famous people of the Ming Dynasty to do shady black jobs!"

"As for those powerful and famous locals in the Ming Dynasty, they are engaged in a huge maritime private trade business, buying and selling stolen goods, and buying land that has lost their masters at a low price with the other hand, and then taking the escaped farmers as their servants... Theirs Life is extremely extravagant, I heard that...um!...you can eat good rice and several fish every meal! Even the servants in their family can eat rice every meal!..."

"Ah! Maitreya Buddha blesses you! All the servants in the family can eat rice every meal? The Ming country is so powerful and famous! If you can be a servant of the Ming country's powerful and famous..."

Speaking of this, Suichiro's face showed an expression full of envy, and even drooled. Murakami Jitong next to him gave a light "cough" and patted Suichiro on the shoulder vigorously.

"Cough! Suichiro, put away the bowls and chopsticks and wipe your mouth. Don't talk nonsense in front of Mr. Watanabe..."

"Uh...yes!"

Murakami Jitong reminded him, then looked at Watanabe Masumi, the monk soldier, and asked with some concern.

"Master Watanabe, the Ming Kingdom is so powerful and famous, with such powerful ships, they even plundered Ming's own coast...then will they send sailors to plunder us?"

"Uh! Looting us? Looting Kyushu?...Ha! What do we samurai from Kyushu have to plunder? Could it be that they came to grab our Sakurajima radish and Sisha natto? Or our Etsukoku rice? Haha!  … "

Hearing this, the monk soldier Watanabe Masumi laughed out loud, but Funamori Murakami Jitong didn't laugh, neither did Zuichiro. Murakami Jitong gritted his teeth hard, held the iron sword at his waist, and said seriously.

"Master Watanabe! For the delicious rice, the samurai can go all out!"

Suichiro also gritted his teeth fiercely, picked up the Ashgaru-style spear at his feet, and shouted.

"Maitreya Buddha testified! For the radish and natto, the villagers can do their best!  …"

"Well…"

Seeing the ferocious look in the eyes of the two local samurai, the monk soldier Masumi Watanabe was stunned, helplessness appeared on his face, and he couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Buddha's testimony! Look at you two worthless people, you have to take up your swords and spears to fight desperately for a few bites!... The pirates of the Ming Dynasty will only go to rob the impoverished warriors of Kyushu when they lose their heads... Actually In fact, the pirates of the Ming Dynasty did often land in Southern Kyushu. But after they landed, their purpose was to recruit poor vagrants without a master. And the treatment they gave was that as long as they worked hard, they would be able to earn a living. Let’s eat rice!…”

"If it is said that the people of the Ming Dynasty are giant whales in the sea, so powerful that they are unmatched, but they fight back and forth in their stomachs, constantly causing waves on the sea...Then the Koreans are big shellfish that produce pearls. As long as you pry open the The seemingly hard outer shell is full of soft clam meat and valuable pearls..."

"As for us and the people of our country, they are probably just crabs waving their claws! They are poor and reckless, and even if we try our best to smash them, we can't pick out any meat..."

"But, Hachiman Bodhisattva blesses you! Crabs don't dare to attack whales, but if you find a chance to pry the shell, it's no problem!..."
