The 14th year of Astronomy, 1545 AD, spring.

This day is the third day just after the New Year. It is light raining in the sky. Although there is no strong wind on the sea, it seems a little cold. Going to sea in such weather is indeed not a good thing.

On a small island near the Goshima Sea, Sasara and his men had just woken up from their sleep. Sasarara is a businessman from Sasarama. He often travels between Tsushima and Sasarama. This time he just started a business on Tsushima. Then he was about to go back to Sasarama, Tsushima, Iki Island, Hirado Island, Goshima, Tosa, and Tosa.

The reason why he chose this sea route was mainly because he wanted to buy some goods from the Ming and even the Southern Barbarians on Hirado Island. These goods may not be able to be bought elsewhere, and even if they can be purchased, they will be much more expensive than here. Speaking of Hirado Island, it is really a good place. In addition to paying a certain amount of ship parking fee, there is no need to pay even the commercial tax. There are many goods on the island, so no wonder it can attract so many merchants to deliberately detour.

Speaking of those guys who were called "Nan Barbarians" by the Luo family peasants who maintained order on the island, Sasara was really shocked. When he came to Hirado Island last time, he heard people on the island talk about these strange people. He was very curious at the time, but he didn't have the chance to see the so-called "Nan Barbarians". This time, he just met one, but when he saw the real person, he was almost scared away directly. Those people looked so scary, and they were as tall as giants. No wonder many people privately called them "Ghost Man".

Yesterday, he was a little late to leave Hirado because he had just negotiated business on the island. When his fleet arrived near the Goku Islands, it was already evening. So he docked on a small island outside the Goku Islands for a night.

"Boss, you have been thinking a lot these days, what's the matter?" asked the intern in the mall who was sorting out goods next to him.

"Another left, you don't know, is there a peasant riot in Kyushu recently? Let's just walk directly from the sea today. Don't dock when passing the harbor of the Satsumashitazu family in front of you." Sasara ordered.

"Boss, you won't just arrive at Tosa's bay before planning to land on the shore and rest?" the intern asked immediately. It's not a comfortable thing to sail on the sea for a long time. Of course, he didn't want to.

"For the sake of safety, this is the only way. Otherwise, the robbery of goods is a trivial matter, I'm afraid that the rioters of the riots will not even let us go!" Sasaro said. He had seen the riots of the believers of Yixiangsect near Kyoto, and the scene was really terrifying.

"Ah? Boss, look, what's there?" At this moment, another intern in the shopping mall on another boat next to him exclaimed in a cry of tears.

Sasara looked in confusion in the direction pointed by the intern. He saw several small black dots appearing faintly on the sea surface to the east. Then, behind the small black dots at the beginning, one, two, and three... When Sasarara saw clearly that the small black dots in the front were ships, dozens of small black dots had appeared at this time, and there seemed to be more small black dots appearing behind them.

"It's strange. There are so many ships, only the Five Island Navy members in this sea area. But when he went to pay the passerby last night, he clearly saw that the Five Island Navy members' ships were docked in the port. Did they drive out overnight last night? Then he thought, Sasaro immediately denied this idea. There are absolutely no fools who set sail at night at this time, and a large number of ships set sail at night, which is even more impossible.

"Isn't it the ship of the Goji Navy? Then is this the ship of that family? And so many came at once?" Sasaro said in confusion.

"Boss, those ships have white eagle flags hanging on them, they are the navy of the Luo family." At this time, a sharp-eyed intern shouted.

"What? The Luo family's naval army?" Sasaro was shocked. This was the sea area of ​​the Five Island Navy, and not far behind him was the main island of the Five Island Navy. Just think about it and you will know what the Luo family's naval army is here for.

"Come on the boat and leave quickly!" The so-called giant whales on the sea were fighting, and the little shrimps who happened to be nearby were likely to suffer, so Sasaro gave the order to escape without hesitation.

"Walk...where?" the intern beside him asked immediately.

"Hirido, go to Hirado Island." In desperation, Sasaro decided to go to Hirado Island to avoid the limelight first. Then he would continue to stay here, and he would definitely be regarded as a ship of the Five Island Navy.

So, with Sasaro's order, the two merchant ships immediately headed towards Hirado Island to the west.

"Boss, look!" When they walked less than a mile of water, they saw another fleet appearing in front of them from afar. Sasaro looked at it and immediately grew his mouth. This time they were closer to the fleet ahead, so he finally saw clearly the situation of the fleet ahead.

More than 200 ships, from small to early to large, were really moving forward like a huge crowd. It was really spectacular. The ships also had the flags of the Luo family hanging on them.

"It seems that the sea area of ​​the Five Islands will change!" Seeing this, Sasaro couldn't help but sigh.

"Boss, compared to sighing, you should decide first that we should go there. Two small men from the other party came to us early." The intern beside him said anxiously.

"Stop the boat!" Sasaro said immediately.

"Ah?" Everyone on both ships were shocked by Sasaro's decision. Doesn't stopping the ship mean they will no longer run for their lives?

"Stop the ship, listen, no matter what the other party does, don't resist even if we snatch our cargo. Also, immediately take out the certificate of our ship parking fee on Hirado Island, and take it off the bow of the special flag of the Goshima Naval Army." Sasara confirmed again. He was ready to be detained by the other party. But he was no longer panicked because he was familiar with Sakaimachi's businessman Nobuyasu, and Nobuyasu Yuda and Nobuyasu Yuda have a good relationship with the Luo family. Recently, he is even operating the iron cannon of the Luo family. At worst, he can just carry Nobuyasu Yuda out at that time.

Just when the Luo family's naval army invaded, in a wooden house in Jiangchuan City, Yuji Shengding, the leader of the Five Island naval army, was hugging the maid and eating meat in big mouthfuls.

Jiangchuan City is built on a mountain on the main island of Wudao (the island was later called Fukue Island). Since there were several springs on the mountain and a small stream called Jiangchuan was formed at the foot of the mountain, this fort was named after it. Below Jiangchuan City, there is a relatively flat land. At this time, many fields have been opened up by the families of the Wudao Navy's family. On the plain, there is an excellent harbor, with ships of the Wudao Navy's people moored on the harbor.

At this time, Yujiu Shengding wiped a shiny mouth, and his originally dark face smeared the lard, becoming even darker and more shiny. He was tall and strong, wearing a new kimono. Because he was eating hot pork, his body was hot, his chest was half open, and his sleeves were rolling up, revealing a strong chest covered with black hair. At this moment, his appearance looked like the judge of the sword and pen in the City God Temple.

Eating meat and drinking a big glass of wine was Yujiu Shengding's life. Since becoming the head of the family, the Five Islands naval army has become increasingly powerful under his leadership, and has almost occupied most of the sea areas along the southern coast of Kyushu. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Luo family, he would have even sent troops to attack Feiqian and seized a piece of his own territory on the land of Kyushu Island.

Yu Jiushengding ate meat in one bite, hugged the maid who poured him wine, rubbed her chest, and laughed in a vague way. Just as he was about to do something about the maid on the spot, a close retainer ran in exclaimed and ran in.

"What's going on?" Yaxing was disturbed, and Yujiu Shengding was naturally very unhappy.

"Lord... lord, Luo... Luo family." The retainers were overly panicked and their speech seemed incoherent.

"How is the Luo family? Is it because of the money and food to our family?" Yujiu Shengding asked with a smile. Thinking of the territorial waters that had personally led troops to threaten the Luo family's territorial waters, Yujiu Shengding felt energetic.

"No...no, it was the Luo family's naval army who came to fight." The retainers finally told the truth.

"Impossible!" Yu Jiushengding's first reaction was to quarantine the report of his retainers. Not long ago, he had just sent an envoy to the Luo family to repair the previous grain purchase and sale agreement because he led his troops to threaten the Luo family's territorial waters. The two sides even reached a grain purchase agreement. The Five Islands Navy members bought a sum of grain from the Luo family, so he thought that the Luo family's grain had been delivered.

Besides, the news that the Luo family had previously released, seemed to be like other powerful people in Kyushu, who were working hard to quell the peasant riots in their territory. How could the Luo family be able to spare troops to deal with him at this time? You should know that even if they were as strong as the Otomo family, they were still quelling the riots in the territory. How could the Luo family, which was similar in strength to the Otomo family, quelling the riots so quickly?

Finally, it was just after the New Year, and almost all the wealthy families would stop fighting each other at this time. Moreover, such cold weather is even more unsuitable for fighting at sea. You should know that if they fall into the sea at this time, even if they do not need other people's attacks, they will even be frozen to death if they soak in the sea for a long time. Even if they can climb back onto the ship, they will get seriously ill afterwards. Such cold weather is really not suitable for fighting at sea. It is precisely for this reason that he transferred most of the ships back to the harbor to dock, and only sent a small number of ships to guard the outside world, which is actually mainly to confiscate the passing money of the merchant ships.
