Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 450 Good Traditions
Of course, the point is not the trajectory of these people's activities.

It's about what these people do in their spare time.

"When I arrived in Iki, the townspeople and tribesmen were all convinced, and the soldiers took more than five hundred people. The Iki king heard that the black flag leader was famous for a long time, so he offered a hundred taels of silver, as well as polished rice, bonito, and kombu."

That's what it says in the official document.

And before this sentence, Kazuki Aikawa brought 150 fully armed black flag warriors and [-] Japanese armored men, about a force of Niulu, and first sold Liaodong rice, cotton cloth and other commodities on Tsushima Island.

Then these commodities sold like crazy in Tsushima Island.

This is a tight commodity.

However, the quality of rice in Northeast China is still polished rice that has undergone fine husking.

In Japan at this time, because of the shelling technology and the abstinence principle of not eating and drinking, the staple food eaten by the relatively wealthy samurai landlord class was mostly simply shelled, and the outer cortex and embryo of the rice grains were retained. brown rice.

This is what most famous people eat.

And polished white rice after complete shelling, let alone ordinary people, ordinary daimyo can't afford it.

Not to mention the grains of Northeast rice that these black flag warriors brought were as plump as white jade grains.

In the eyes of the Japanese at this time, not to mention just eating it, even smelling it, it will prolong your life and prolong your life.

The daimyo Zongshi from Tsushima Island all came here after hearing the news. After eating this rice cooked from the newly harvested rice in Liaodong, the rice grains turned and turned in his mouth, reluctant to swallow, and then decisively bought three liters of rice for a large size. Banqueting the officials is also preparing to have a good year.

Aikawa Kazuki used this rice to entertain some ronin warriors who were somewhat famous in Tsushima Island. These ronin warriors were more exaggerated than Zongshi.

White rice and a piece of fish, a plate of pickled vegetables cooked overnight, and a bowl of miso soup were placed in front of him. Before eating, some people burst into tears and swallowed it.

The action of letting him recruit talents went very smoothly.

Time has passed, and with the stability of the world in Japan, the living environment of ronin warriors has gone from bad to worse.

Nowadays, they either form gangs in the castle town and monopolize some small businesses, and at the same time try to make their groups show some use value in front of the upper-class nobles, and become a group of dogs raised by the nobles that can be used at will.

Or just wander around, do everything, be a mercenary and a robber, and have a meal without a meal.

Or let others plow the land in a desperate manner.

During the dinner, the ronin samurai here cried while eating and said that last month, for two meals of brown rice a day, he stayed in a village with a group of ronin warriors and went shopping with a group of ronin warriors who had become robbers for half a month. It took several deaths to drive the bandits and rogues away.

On the other hand, it is said that the merchants on Tsushima Island look down on these samurai more and more, more and more ronin come to make a living, and the price of hiring them is getting lower and lower.

This made a group of Black Banner warriors somewhat resentful.

If they didn't break into the Guandong, they might not be as good as these ronin warriors now.

After all, those who can be invited by Kazuki Aikawa are all experts on Tsushima Island.

But this time, the group of black flag warriors returned home and showed up in front of the villagers wearing brocade clothes.

This made the 'Black Flag Dream' that had flooded Tsushima Island and even neighboring islands before suddenly become frenzied.

The black flag warriors showed their own experiences and completely dispelled the doubts of the ronin warriors. Wherever they traveled, there were ronin warriors and spectators who came to watch.

And the Tsushima daimyo Zongshi did not take care of these returnees who violated the lock-down order.

Tsushima has close ties to North Korea.

He has heard a little about what happened in Liaodong.
"It's the warriors of the black flag!"

"No, no, it's just the servants under the Black Banner warriors, and those adults behind."

"Your Majesty! Please let me serve in front of Your Majesty Kazuki! I am willing to do anything!"

According to the reports of the Black Banner warriors, the Liaodong mainland of the Black Banner is a vast land with various scenery in the northern part of Japan. There are many races, but the upper-class samurai daimyo get along very harmoniously, and they are stable internally but have been fighting externally.

The rewards involved in military exploits are very generous, and there are already many immigrants from the He clan.

They are also urgently needing the effectiveness of these ronin warriors.

After this operation, it is different from the scene when Heiqi came to Tsushima Island for the first time to recruit ronin warriors.

The ronin warriors on the entire island were greatly shocked, and they rushed to join Kazuki Aikawa's command, even many ronin who were originally attached to the daimyo clan of Tsushima Island came.

As a result, the team under Aikawa Kazuki expanded rapidly, and in less than half a month, it expanded to more than 1000 people, and basically all the ronin on Tsushima Island came.

And this is just the beginning of the official document, and it has been brought over in a few words.

After that is the big deal.

With someone, Kazuki Aikawa became worried instead.

Too many people can't take them back, and the boat can't fit.

But he was here to recruit people, and he was reluctant to lay off staff.

And this time Kazuki Aikawa not only needs to take in ronin warriors, but also needs to get some servants back to serve him.

But he didn't want to spend more money to buy a boat.

Together with the samurai under his command, he thought that his group of people had committed the crime of beheading in their hometown!The homeland can no longer accommodate them!Just keep doing nothing!
grab!
Carry forward the fine tradition of the black flag.

Thinking of making a move.

Tsushima daimyo Zong sensed something, there are more than 300 elites, and the ashigaru are all armored, how can they feel at ease in their own territory?

So hurry up and talk.

"The Zhongfan of Tsushima Prefecture has always been on good terms with the Black Flag King. They have set up a special black hall on the island, and the business exchanges continue. I have also presented gifts to the Black Flag King. Your Excellency Kazuki, you can't make a black flag that will damage the island. It's about the relationship with Tsushima Fu Chuhan."

Seeing Zong's respectful attitude towards him, Aikawa Kazuki felt a little embarrassed.

The robbery of maritime merchants and ships on Tsushima Island was immediately dismissed.

but.

It’s fine if you don’t work on Tsushima Island.

It was also from this time that Aikawa Kazuki first led [-] troops to leave Tsushima Island by boat and head to the Iki Domain in the south. First, he circled the island, intercepted more than ten small fishing boats, and then landed directly!Hunt down the common people and the untouchables in the northern part of the island!
The island is not big, but the available arable land is more than Tsushima Island, so the population on the small island is quite large, so it is divided into two counties.

Aikawa Kazuki also came for this.

On the day of landing on the island, the Matsuura family, the daimyo of the Iki clan, got the news and summoned the army.

A conflict broke out between the two sides not surprisingly.

The 24 troops with the black flag warriors as the main force faced the [-] army composed of [-] villages and two counties under the Iki Domain.
