Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 314 Sakata Arii's Allegiance

As soon as the young man walked out, he was discovered by the guards beside Zhao Wen.

The guard next to Zhao Wen held a 56 and aimed at the young man.

Just as the guards were about to shoot, the young man suddenly shouted.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

The young man shouted at Zhao Wen in broken Chinese.

While shouting, he threw the samurai sword at his waist on the ground, knelt down on the spot, and kowtowed towards Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen looked at this strange young man, and said to the guard: "Don't rush to shoot, go over and see what's going on."

As Zhao Wen said, he led the guards and walked towards the young man.

Zhao Wen walked up to the young man, looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Do you speak Chinese?"

The young man raised his head and looked at Zhao Wen excitedly, "My lord, the villain can speak a little Chinese. The villain has traveled across the sea with Han merchants before, so he can speak a little bit."

"What's your name? What's your background?" Zhao Wen looked at the young man and asked.

The young man said: "The villain's name is Sakata Youi, and his family used to be Guan Bai's warriors.

Ever since Lord Guanbai was defeated, we have been punished by the Tokugawa family.

We had no choice but to flee outside, and finally we settled our home here. "

Looking at the young man, Zhao Wen couldn't help saying, "Then you are a wild warrior now?"

A wild samurai is a samurai without a lord. In Japan, there is a huge difference between a wild samurai and a serious samurai.

Serious warriors have lords, and the lords will also give them fiefs, as well as Lumi, whose status is more than twice that of wild samurai.

And the wild samurai has nothing, can only wander aimlessly in the world.

And for wild samurai, in most cases, there will be no daimyo to take them in.

When Sakata Arui heard Zhao Wen say the word "wild samurai", his face was full of desolation.

"My lord, although I am a wild samurai, my skills are definitely not inferior to other samurai." Sakata Arui said loudly.

"How do you prove it?" Zhao Wen looked at Sakata Arui with a playful face.

Sakata Arui suddenly stood up from the ground, "My lord, if you don't believe me, I'm willing to show you."

Sakata Arui picked up the samurai sword on the ground as he said that, and flew towards the distance quickly.

Looking at Sakata Arui who left, Zhao Wen gradually understood the purpose of this Sakata Arui.

"It seems that you want to take refuge in me. I really didn't expect that I came to destroy you, but there are still people coming to me." Zhao Wen slandered.

"Pass down the order, if anyone sees this Sakata Arui, don't shoot him, I want to see how he proves his skills."

Zhao Wen whispered to the guard behind him.

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, the two guards behind him headed towards the city, conveying Zhao Wen's order.

And Zhao Wen led the rest of the guards to a nearby teahouse.

The shopkeeper of this teahouse is a Han Chinese living in Shuri Castle. Four or five ronin rushed in there before. Fortunately, Zhao Wen arrived in time, otherwise it would have been ransacked.

In fact, in the Ryukyu Kingdom, there are not a few Han people.

At that time, there were 36 surnames of Fujian people who settled in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

And in recent years, with the rise of maritime merchants, the number of Han Chinese who came to Ryukyu has gradually increased.

As soon as Zhao Wen entered the teahouse, the manager of the teahouse greeted him.

"I've seen the general, thank you for your help, if it wasn't for the general, the villain's family would have been miserable."

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man around 40 years old. He pulled his family and was about to kneel on the ground in a hurry and kowtow to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen grabbed the shopkeeper and said with a smile on his face, "Get up quickly, there is no need for such a big gift, you and I are both Han Chinese, so where is such a big gift needed?"

"Yes, yes, if there is no general, maybe we will die." The shopkeeper kept talking to Zhao Wen, his face was full of gratitude.

Zhao Wen smiled, and said, "No matter where we are, you and I are Han Chinese, and if our compatriots are in trouble, how can I sit idly by?
If you really want to thank you, you might as well serve me two pots of good tea to moisten my throat. "

"Yes, there must be good tea, the general is waiting, I'll go get it for the general."

The shopkeeper hurried to the rear with his family members, and made good tea for Zhao Wen.

Looking at the shopkeeper who was so excited, Zhao Wen couldn't help smiling, then found a random table and sat down.

Not long after sitting down, the shopkeeper came over with a teapot and a tray of snacks.

After putting these things on the table, the shopkeeper thanked Zhao Wen again, and then got busy with the things in the store.

Zhao Wen picked up the dim sum on the plate, and drank tea while eating.

A few quarters of an hour later, Zhao Daniu led the one hundred soldiers who were going to pursue them to Zhao Wen's place.

"Is it clean?" Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu who was covered in blood and walked in, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked.

Zhao Daniu said: "My lord, we have wiped out all of them, and the two Japanese warriors were also captured alive by us."

After Zhao Daniu finished speaking, he turned around and shouted towards the outside: "Bring me those two Japanese warriors in."

As soon as the words fell, Nakamura Hisamitsu and Huashan Song were escorted up by soldiers and knelt on the ground.

Nakamura Hisamitsu looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting in the teahouse, his face was full of anger, and he yelled cursingly, "You hateful Ming people, you wait, the lord will definitely lead an army of millions to kill you Flattened.

You are a bunch of despicable little people, you people are some scumbags. "

Zhao Wen pointed to Nakamura Hisamitsu, looked at the shopkeeper who was busy in the store, and asked, "Do you understand Japanese? Can you translate for me what this little devil is talking about."

The shopkeeper put down the rag in his hand and walked over.

The shopkeeper has been in Shuri Castle for a long time, and there are many Wa people in Shuri Castle, but they can speak Wa dialect.

Hearing Nakamura Hisamitsu's scolding, his face changed, and he looked at Zhao Wen cautiously, "General, he is scolding your lord."

Zhao Wen sneered and said, "Translate for me, how did he scold me."

The shopkeeper asked hesitantly: "General, he scolded too badly, do you really want to translate?"

"Translation, I want to hear how this little devil scolded me." Zhao Wen picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, pointed at Hisamitsu Nakamura, and said cautiously: "General, he said that you are a bastard or a villain, and that one day, Samofan will lead a million-strong army to crush the general."

Zhao Wen put down the teacup in his hand, with a ruthless look on his face.

Before Zhao Wen could speak, Zhao Daniu, who was standing aside, kicked Nakamura Hisamitsu on the mouth.

"It's so courageous, you are courting death."

Zhao Daniu's veins burst out, he drew out the long knife at his waist, and made a gesture to chop Nakamura Hisamitsu's neck.

Hisamitsu Nakamura spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with his teeth, looked at Zhao Wen madly, and shouted loudly: "You are a bunch of lowly bastards, a bunch of lowly bastards."

"You still dare to speak? Go to hell with me."

Zhao Daniu couldn't bear it anymore, and swung the knife in his hand to strike at Nakamura Hisamitsu's neck.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Zhao Wen stopped Zhao Daniu.

"My lord, this Japanese dares to insult my lord. I think it would be better to chop him with a knife." Zhao Daniu stopped, looked at Zhao Wen, and said angrily.

Zhao Wen waved his hand and said coldly: "It's cheap for us to kill him, first tie him to the pillar outside."

Zhao Wen suddenly remembered that Sakata Arui.

Although Zhao Daniu didn't know why Zhao Wen did this, he still put away the long knife and tied Nakamura Hisamitsu and Hua Shansong to the pillar outside.

The sun in the sky gradually slanted westward, and the whole city of Shuri was filled with a smell of blood.

When all the troops sent by Zhao Wen came back, the wild warriors and ronin who caused chaos in Shuri City were basically cleaned up.

In addition to the soldiers, the wild samurai Sakata Arui also came outside the teahouse.

At this time, there were scars all over his body, blood all over his body, and the knife in his hand was full of gaps.

Around his waist hung seven or eight heads, the heads of wild warriors he had killed.

He staggered towards the teahouse where Zhao Wen was.

Zhao Wen looked at Sakata Arii and walked out of the teahouse.

Sakata Arui looked at Zhao Wen who came out, took off the head at the waist, put it on the ground, and inserted the samurai sword full of gaps in his hand into the scabbard.

Then he knelt on the ground respectfully and pressed his head tightly to the ground.

Zhao Wen looked at the heads on the ground and said, "You killed all of these?"

"My lord, these were all killed by villains." Sakata Arui replied.

"Do you want to rely on me?" Zhao Wen asked.

Sakata Arii raised his head, kowtowed to Zhao Wen, and said excitedly, "Please do it, sir."

"The most important thing to rely on me is loyalty. I don't know if you can do this?" Zhao Wen stood in front of Sakata Arui, looking at him condescendingly.

Sakata Arii was taken aback for a moment, then pulled out the samurai sword from his waist.

Seeing this, the soldiers next to him hurriedly aimed 56 at him.

Zhao Daniu looked at Sakata Arui's move and shouted: "What do you want to do? Put down the weapon in your hand."

Zhao Wen shook his hand at Zhao Daniu and said, "Don't worry, let's see what he is going to do first."

Sakata Arii held the samurai sword in his hand, looked at Zhao Wen, and said word by word in broken Chinese: "If you don't believe me, I can dig out my heart and show you."

As Sakata Arui said, he was about to stab his chest with the sword in his hand.

Zhao Wen saw his crazy behavior and said, "Okay, I don't need you to dig out your heart. Let me ask you a question, why did you trust me?"

Sakata Arui put the samurai sword in his hand on the ground, and said: "Because I want to be strong, I don't want to be a wild samurai, a wild samurai is a person without roots, maybe one day he will die in a fight.

I am not afraid of death, I am afraid that what I die is worthless.A samurai should die on the battlefield, not in a fight with others. "

Zhao Wen listened to Sakata Yui's words, and secretly said: "It's really straightforward, what you said is very Japanese."

"But why do you seek refuge with me? You country has so many famous names, why don't you seek refuge with them?" Zhao Wen asked.

"Because I am a wild samurai. In Japan, wild samurai are not recognized by them. No one will take me in. They never look at me.

In the eyes of the daimyo, the wild samurai are the same as the untouchables, they are the lowest slaves.For them, it is a disgrace to take in the wild samurai. "Sakata Arei replied.

Zhao Wen kept looking at Sakata Arui, and kept thinking.

After a while, Zhao Wen pointed to Nakamura Hisamitsu and Huashan Song who were tied to the pillars next to him, and said to Sakata Youjing, "Go and kill them two, and I will take you in."

Sakata Arui suddenly stood up from the ground, pulled out the samurai sword from his waist, and rushed towards the two of them.

Nakamura Hisamitsu looked at Sakata Arii who rushed over, and cursed, "What do you want?"

A gloomy look flashed across Sakata Arui's face, he didn't care about Nakamura Hisamitsu's voice at all, and the knife in his hand slashed straight at Nakamura Hisamitsu's neck.

"Pfft!"

A head soared into the sky, and the blood from Nakamura Hisamitsu's chest sprayed Sakata Arui's face.

After hacking Nakamura Hisamitsu to death, Sakata Arii let out a strange cry, and slashed at Huashan Pine again.

Hua Shansong looked at the samurai sword that was coming, and his pupils continued to dilate.

"Pfft!"

Another head soared into the sky.

Sakata Arui picked up the heads of the two and walked to Zhao Wen.

He held his two heads, bent his waist, and said respectfully to Zhao Wen: "My lord, it has been dealt with."

Zhao Wen looked at the head in his hand, nodded, and said, "If that's the case, then I'll accept you.

It's just that it's different here than in other places.

Here, the first thing is to be loyal.If you dare to betray me in the future, you will die miserably.

But if you have merit, I will reward you no less. "

Sakata Arui knelt down excitedly, and kowtowed repeatedly to Zhao Wen, "Thank you for taking me in, thank you for taking me in. From now on, the villain will definitely follow the example of the adult, and the villain will do whatever the adult tells the villain to do."

"Okay, get up. Although I have taken you in, it doesn't mean that you will be safe in the future.

If you don't obey my orders in the future, you will also die miserably. "

Looking at Sakata Arii who kept kowtowing on the ground, Zhao Wen suddenly had an idea of ​​forming an army of samurai.

In the future, the territory will become bigger and bigger. If there is anything inconvenient to handle, it can just be handed over to them.

These people are ruthless and black, and they are just suitable for dealing with shady things.

Or let them suppress the natives on the land they conquered later, or perform tasks that never return.

In short, forming an army of Japanese warriors also has many benefits for Zhao Wen.

This era is not a future generation. The Japanese warriors of this era have almost no concept of country in their hearts. They are only loyal to their lords.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Zheng Yiguan to recruit so many warriors who are loyal to him.
