Sakai Kazuko, the eldest son of the Sakai family in the Edo region of Japan. His father, Sakai Maru, failed in the fight with another Fujita family for power in the Edo region. Sakai had no choice but to escape to the sea, taking a small number of clan members and servants with him to break through the waves in a boat. Dalong's coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Perhaps Ichiko Sakai is very talented in languages. After spending more than a year in a seaside fishing village, Ichiko Sakai actually learned a lot of Zhongtu's words before he dared to lead his subordinates to gradually go deep into the hinterland of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to make a living.
Although he brought a lot of gold and silver treasures left behind by Sakai Maru after escaping from Japan, Kazuko Sakai lost his prominent status and life of power. Sakai Kazuko always hoped to return to Japan and Edo one day. , to revive the prestige of the Sakai family and return the flag of the Sakai family to the Edo region.
The wealth of the Dalong Dynasty surprised Sakai Kazuko. The population of just one prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River was countless times greater than that of the entire Japanese country. The products were rich, many of which had never been seen in the Japanese country. The wine was more fragrant than the Japanese. , the food is better than that of Japan. Compared with the poor and remote areas of Japan, Dalong Kingdom is like a paradise on earth.
That high-rise house, such a big house is simply more luxurious than His Majesty the Emperor's palace. The most incredible thing is that there are not just one such house, but they are everywhere.
"Ba Ge, you really should let His Majesty the Emperor's group of short-sighted guys come to the Dalong Dynasty to take a look. The things they are proud of can be seen everywhere in the Dalong Dynasty. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation are thousands of times better than ours. When I, Ichiko Sakai, restore the glory of the Sakai family, I must allow future generations to land on this land gifted by God. I must, this is a gift from God."
"Brother Ichiko, let's take back the weapons we made today first. Stop complaining. When you reorganize the old Sakai family and fight back to Edo, even if it means that my father will risk his life to let you escape before he dies. The greatest reward.”
"Hai Yi, Hoshino, I was wrong. I must kill the Fujita family without leaving any trace, and personally cut off the head of Fujita Tree to pay tribute to my father's spirit in heaven."
Sakai Hoshino encouraged Sakai Kazuko: "Brother, come on, while those guys in the Japanese country are still spending a lot of money on those bamboo swords, spears, and copper swords, my eldest brother already has a large number of fine iron swords made by the Great Dragon Dynasty. They will definitely be killed until they lose their armor."
"What a pity. This blacksmith shop is only willing to make ten swords for us every day. We are not willing to pay more. There is no ban on the imperial court. Private individuals are not allowed to manufacture weapons on a large scale. Otherwise, they will be punished for treason and punish the nine tribes. Really! I don’t understand what the emperor of the Dragon Dynasty was thinking. If the people under his command earned more money, wouldn’t they be able to collect more taxes? He even ordered his people not to make money. Wouldn’t these people rebel? Uncle Cui said that destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents, why don't these people resist?"
"Sir, Okamoto Reiichi doesn't understand. These blacksmiths are really the biggest fools. They leave good gold without making any money. This is simply unforgivable."
"Honda-kun, have you sent someone to contact the owner of the blacksmith shop privately? Are you willing to teach us how to make weapons?"
"Your Excellency, Honda Takeshi found the boss and gave him one hundred taels of gold to ask for a way to forge iron tools. However, the boss kicked me out angrily. Honda did not do well and was willing to commit suicide."
Sakai Kazuko stopped Honda Takeshi: "Honda-kun, I don't blame you. You are all the most heroic samurai of my Sakai family. How could I let the most heroic samurai of my Sakai family commit seppuku over a trivial matter? You guys?" Even if you have to die, you must die on the battlefield, and don’t tarnish your noble warrior bloodline.”
"SeaWing."
"Seawing..."
"Hoshino, how many weapons have we stored now? How much money is left, and can it last until we return to Japan?"
Sakai Hoshino looked downcast: "Brother, the money we have brought out now is enough to last for half a year. Most of it has been spent on making swords. Brother, I still want to advise you. Although Dalong's armor is good, it is expensive. Silver is too expensive, one piece of armor can be used to make about seven weapons, so I suggest you cancel the manufacturing of armor and focus on making weapons."
Ichiko Sakai also frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the dozen boxes of gold and silver jewelry he brought out would be spent so quickly. Everything in Dalong Dynasty was good, but it was too expensive. This was all the savings of several generations of the Sakai family, and it was unexpectedly spent in one go. Half of the expenses were spent in the year: "What do you think?"
"Sir, we agree with Miss Hoshino. With these sharp knives in hand, we are enough to intimidate the local people. Forget about the armor. After all, we have to buy a lot of food when we return, otherwise we can't raise an army. Those brave men The warriors are not willing to hand over their lives to a commander who does not have enough to eat."
Ichiko Sakai struggled for a long time. Every time he entered a town in the south of the Yangtze River, he would envy the burly armor of the city defense army. However, envy is one thing, and possession is another. Strength does not allow it. ah.
Kazuko Sakai secretly made up his mind that when he returned to Japan and regained power in the Edo region, he must open up maritime trade between Japan and the Dairyu Dynasty at all costs. Once the Dairyu Dynasty was behind him, the Sakai family would be able to regain control of Edo. With great power, it is not a bad idea to overthrow the emperor's rule.
There was a strong desire for power in Kazuko Sakai's eyes. I can endure the darkness, but when I see the light, I can't stand the dark days.
Kazuko Sakai gritted his teeth and said: "If you can't bribe the owner of this iron shop, then find another one and get the Dalong Dynasty's smelting technology at all costs. Whether the Sakai family can unify Japan depends on today."
"SeaWing."
"Miss Yun... why are you so awkward? I'd better call you Brother Qi. I'm used to it. I'm not used to the sudden change of words."
Qi Yun was wearing white clothes, and her face was no longer covered by makeup powder. She was only wearing pure white men's clothing, which was exactly the same one she wore in the Misty Rain Pavilion. Her black hair was fluttering, and she tied it up casually. Bound by an inconspicuous wooden hairpin.
Qi Yun nodded gently: "Brother Liu, if you are used to it, it doesn't matter if you call me brother Qi. I hope you don't really think of me as your brother."
Liu Mingzhi scratched his head: "How could...Eh..."
"Brother Liu, what's wrong?" Qi Yun saw Liu Mingzhi staring blankly at a group of strangely dressed people in front of him. Only the leading man and woman were pleasing to the eye, wearing ordinary people's clothes.
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips and looked at the group of people in front of him. The small height, the small head shape, the mustache, the baggy pants, the small pillow behind his back, the small dagger stuck in his waist, plus the nodding and bowing. Habit.
Isn't this a Japanese friend who is living a pretty good life? Oh, it's not called Japan yet, it should be the Japanese country. These are the ancestors of those Japanese... who lived a pretty good life.
Liu Mingzhi was nervous. Is the Japanese navigation technology so advanced? It is not an easy task to cross the ocean from Japan to China with huge storms and waves.
Liu Mingzhi felt a little uneasy. The Japanese could cross the sea, but he had not yet understood the sea-going ship technology of the Dalong Dynasty.
Unconsciously holding Qi Yun's hand: "Brother Qi, come with me."
Qi Yun was startled at first, her heart pounding, but miraculously she didn't struggle and started walking along Liu Mingzhi's footsteps.
Liu Song held the horse and stared blankly at the two holding hands: "Is the young master's nose healed?"
"Cry you Qiba."
"Haiyi, I'm crying for you Qiba."
They are really Japanese. It seems that things cannot be underestimated.
Kazuko Sakai stared blankly at the tall Liu Mingzhi in front of him: "Can you speak Japanese?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head: "I once learned a few words from a man who came to Dalong Dynasty to do business. Who are you? How did you appear in Dalong Dynasty?" Liu Mingzhi didn't know Japanese. When he was doing group performances in the past, I played a Japanese translator and could barely remember a few sentences.
"Sir, my name is Sakai Kazuko, what do you call me?"
Liu Mingzhi was confused. He didn't understand what he said. He didn't speak Japanese with two swords, and he didn't stand aside with ten swords: "Can you speak the words of Dalong Dynasty?"
"SeaWing."
"May I have your name?"
"Ichiko Sakai, may I ask your surname?"
What you said is quite good. It seems that your time in China is not short.
Qi Yun, Liu Song and the others watched Young Master Liu first talking to a group of weird people in jumbled words, and then asking for their names. A group of crows flew over their foreheads.
"It turns out to be Sakai-kun, my name is Luhua Peanut Oil, this is my brother Che Wu Jin Two, and over there is my servant Cannon Three Flat Four."
"Hai Yi, hello, Mr. Lu Hua."
