Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 479

Hirado clan knelt too fast.

So much so that Sun Qin didn't even have a chance to question him, and he confessed to everything.

But that was the matter of his ancestors, who supported a Daming man to bring the warriors of the Matsuura family to Daming to plunder.

Almost 100 years ago, what my great-grandfather committed.

Afterwards, since the Ming Dynasty perfected the coastal defense and was beaten up by the Portuguese on their own territory, the Matsuura family only had a taste of piracy. Although they still kept a navy and occasionally played pirates, the objects of robbery changed. .

Now the Matsuura family's secret looting target is the merchant ships entering and leaving Nagasaki Port.

And it's not a good business either.

Therefore, Matsuura Shigenobu is very thorough in leading the way.

Especially knowing that Black Flag is going to occupy Tsushima Island, Iki Island.

He knew that Japan could not be stopped, even if the big ships from all over the country came.

Just like when the Matsuura family faced the Portuguese.

Therefore, Matsuura Shigenobu became the largest Japanese daimyo with the largest territory who had defected to the black flag, just like the Zong family, and he worked as a staff officer for Sun Qin.

"The lord of the Shimabara Domain, Gao Lizhongfang, is cruel but cowardly. The warships of the Qing Dynasty passing by the sea have frightened him into hiding in Shimabara Castle and dare not come out, and sent people to join forces with the Hirado Domain. If My lord intends to appease him, I am willing to go."

He is also willing to be a messenger with the welts on his back that are still bleeding.

"No, as long as he doesn't come to stop our army, it's fine. You send someone to warn, after that. Your two sons can stay on the shore, but you need to follow my navy to Nagasaki Port."

Because the city fully released the black flag, all the soldiers in the city turned their faces in front of the black flag, and Matsuura Shigenobu also took the initiative to let the important ministers under his command lead the Hirado clan warriors to join Sun Qin's command to contribute to the army.

"Hi!"

Matsuura Shigenobu bowed his head and knelt down.

After observing the landing forces of the Black Flag Navy at close range, he was even more determined to board the big ship of the Black Flag.

He saw more than armaments.

It is also a large number of Japanese who started as pirates among the black flag navy.

As ronin warriors, there are also low-level untouchables, all of whom have been awarded high positions by the black flag, and they can also become important officials under the command of the Marquis and Navy Governor Rong Zheng.

And the matter of Black Flag's recruitment of ronin warriors has already spread from Tsushima Island to the feudal lords of the Hizen Kingdom.

Let the ronin samurai become a daimyo.

Can he be worse?
What Matsuura Shigenobu didn't know was that their family had only temporarily escaped what happened to the Japanese pirates, and their family had to suffer a little bit when the grandfather's incident happened. After all, as long as the matter is revealed, the decision-making power lies not with Lin Wang but thousands of miles away. The capital is in Zhu Youjian.

However, he wanted to work with the Navy, but he just earned himself a way out.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Zhu Youjian, who is thousands of miles away, to see his piety and admiration on paper. With a swipe of a pen, the Matsuura family may be wiped out.

Despite the support and cooperation of the Matsuura family, Sun Qin gave up the plan of advancing both by land and by navy after weighing.

Although this plan was proposed by him.

But after looking at the military equipment of the Matsuura family, Sun Qin felt that this plan was still a little too big.

So they only stayed on land for one day, and returned to the ship with Matsuura Shigenobu the next day, and followed the main force by water.

On land, the retainers of the Hirado clan loyally carried out the task of the governor daimyo, gathered the citizens, and the tribal people and untouchables strictly supervised them, and then warned the surrounding clans.

However, it did not directly use the banner of the black flag, nor did it expressly state that the Hirado clan had surrendered to the black flag. Let the shogunate communicate with the black flag navy.

Otherwise, the black flag killing came ashore and whipped the Hirado clan daimyo's family, and took away the daimyo as a hostage, which is a role model for the feudal clans.

As word spread, the samurai daimyos could not help but secretly think that the Hirado clan was weak, and they offered gifts without fighting the black flag, and then surrendered.

But assuming that there is no castle in the Hirado clan, there is really nothing to do in the face of the strong ships and guns of the black flag.

Being able to come over to warn the police is already worthy of the surrounding names.

Therefore, while the surrounding feudal clans scolded the Matsuura family as traitors and betrayed Japan, they hurriedly gathered forces for land defense.

And at sea.

There is nothing that can stop the Black Banner Navy.

The Japanese naval army was defeated, and one of the hired warships was destroyed by fire. The rest of the Japanese warships escaped, and they all hurried back to their own territory, abandoning the coastal defenses and shrinking to the land.

No ship dared to sway in front of the black flag navy.

Even those Portuguese ships and Dutch ships that escaped sailed to Jeju Island overnight because they were afraid of black flags, and fled directly to the Daming sea area to follow the road.

In the early morning of two days later, the Black Flag Navy arrived in the waters near Nagasaki Port.

Many merchant ships began to appear within the field of vision.

Although the news that the Black Banner navy is about to arrive has spread, there are many people who want money but not life.

Liaodong is prosperous, and maritime merchants spread word of mouth. The Black Flag Gaizhou Port, Jiuliancheng Port, and the newly built Laolongtou Port in Shanhaiguan have also communicated with Nagasaki Port in recent years.

The first thing people who seek livelihood at sea go to a port they have never been to to do business is naturally to inquire about the virtues of the local navy and how many pirates are involved in the name of the navy.

And the image of the black flag navy is currently considered good for businessmen.

Although they are basically pirates, they don't have much record of robbing merchant ships.

If it weren't for the sake of safety, the sea merchants even wanted to rush over to do business with the Black Flag Navy.

For example, the selling point is information on Nagasaki Port.

It's a pity that the black flag doesn't need it either.

Matsuura Shigenobu and the Zong family are here.

The peers are friends, and the two families know everything about Nagasaki Port like the palm of their hands!
He even knows how many ronin gangs and chambers of commerce there are in Nagasaki Port, what goods are in short supply this year, and which domain has the highest trade profit in the port this year, not to mention the soldiers and guardian daimyos who have long been mixed with merchants in the port.

Of course, these merchant ships did not include the merchant ships of the Wa Kingdom.

For the arrival of the Black Banner Navy, the residents of the Wa Kingdom in Nagasaki Port are naturally terrified.

One by one angrily denounced the incompetence of the Tsushima Fan and the defeat of Nabeshima Mitsushige, and at the same time worked hard to deploy city defenses in the port.

It's wrong to say.

Because the daimyo who owned Nagasaki before was a Christian, it was opened to the Portuguese as a trading port at first, and later it directly dedicated Nagasaki to the Jesuits!
Afterwards, Japan expelled Christianity, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued the "Bantenren Chase and Release Order".

Therefore, Nagasaki was directly taken back by the shogunate. As the leader of the shogunate rather than a territory belonging to a certain daimyo, the shogunate only appointed officials such as Jodai to manage it.

And Nagasaki did not participate in the crusade against the Black Flag Navy.

But Lin Wang doesn't care about these things.

He came to impress overseas.

"Order Niu Luzhang Jinghekou Yuichi! Quan Yuqing drives the boats ahead! Shout out all the big and small ships! Send an order to the port! Order the officials stationed in the port to welcome our navy into the port! During my navy's entry into the port! Those within one mile of my navy! My navy fired back immediately! All warships, large and small, headed for Nagasaki Port!"

The harbor is not too wide, and the limit of one mile can only shrink all the ships in the harbor to the shore of the harbor and cannot move.

But two small treasure ships opened the way ahead to deliver orders, and when the merchant ships saw the four huge treasure ships of the Black Banner Navy, they all obeyed, and hurriedly hid on both sides to wait for the Black Banner Navy to enter the port.

　Cough cough, the sun is a bit dark this afternoon
