I see!
After hearing Matsuura Sanbanro’s explanation, Nao Nabeshima immediately got up, bowed and lowered his head to apologise to Matsuura Sanbanro, “Yells West! Sanbanro, I was reckless in misunderstanding your good intentions, please forgive me.”
“General Naoyo why do you have to do that, I am flattered.”Matsuura Sanbanro hastily put down his pen and paper and rose to bow even lower.
After Nabeshima Naono made some apologies, the two of them became even more cordial, and it could be described as a heart-to-heart relationship.
However, Nabeshima Naono still has a doubt, can not help but ask Matsuura Sanbanro, “Sanbanro, spying on the strengths and weaknesses of the Ming army is desirable, but to spy like this, is it not putting us in a trap? I am not a person who is afraid of death, and it has always been my dream to die in battle for His Highness! Death, I’m not afraid of, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to fulfil His Highness’s commission!”
“General Naonan do not worry, General please see, this wooden building is built near the river, behind is a big river, when the Ming army besiege the wooden building, in haste, there will not be war ships to blockade the river, this is the way of life for us. When the Ming army comes, we do not need to do our best, only need to test the strength of the Ming army, when the night, we set up a raft, we can break through the siege of the Ming army. At that time, the great Ming can go as far as possible!”Matsuura Sanbanro pointed to the river behind the wooden building and explained to Nabeshima Naono.
“Yelp West! Sanbanro, you drop, greatly powerful, both civil and military, after this achievement, I will swear to recommend you to His Highness. I believe that with your ability, you will certainly become famous in front of the fat! No, your ability, the world can also leave a name!”Nabeshima Naono listened to Matsuura Sanbanro’s explanation and praised Matsuura Sanbanro.
“The general’s praise is not justified, thank you for your promotion!”Matsuura Sanbanro first humbled himself and then thanked him gratefully.
After a conversation, Nabeshima Naoto’s worries and doubts were all dispelled, and he ate and drank at ease.
Matsuura Sanbanro continued to draw the map, and the rest of the Japanese pirates continued to sing and dance, the group of devils and demons. ……
If they weren’t the Japanese pirates who had just killed hundreds of people, if they hadn’t taken over the magpie’s nest, if the courtyard wasn’t littered with corpses, and if there wasn’t a river of blood flowing outside, the scene in the courtyard would be a feast of songs and dances!
But alas!
This is Daming, and they are the murderous Japanese pirates! Under their feet were the innocent people of Daming whose corpses were not yet cold!
“General Nao, Young Admiral Sanbanro, the meat is cooked, it’s ready to start.”After confirming that the meat was cooked, a Japanese pirate who was in charge of tending to the three pots of chicken, duck, fish, and mutton mess confirmed that the meat was cooked, and respectfully came forward to report, inviting Nabeshima Naono and Matsuura Sanbanro to consume it first. The situation of the superior and inferior hierarchies in the Japanese country was even worse than that of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of banquets, the subordinates dared not and could not start before the superiors started.
Nao Nabeshima was the first to step forward as a matter of course, stuck a fat leg of mutton in his katana, had a pot of broth served, took five cooking cakes, occupied a table, and feasted.
Matsuura Sanbanro did not use a katana, but used chopsticks to pick up a duck, katana is the Matsuura family’s heirloom, Matsuura Sanbanro respect it like an ancestor, as precious as life, every morning, night will be carefully wiped to maintain, in addition to fighting, killing people, drinking blood, will never use it to do anything else, like Nao Nabeshima to use katanas to cut the food, Matsuura Sanbanro would feel that the insult to the ancestor.
Matsuura Sanbanro took a duck, served a bowl of broth, took three cooking cakes, and nodded to the remaining Japanese.
It was only then that the other Japanese pirates began to scramble for the meat and broth.
“Bastards, eat more meat, drink more soup, drink less alcohol, each person can only drink one or two at most, keep your heads clear, we have to greet the Ming army later! Whichever one dares to drink more, I will take his heart and liver for wine! After you’ve eaten and drunk enough, half of you go to bed and recuperate; the other half go on guard!”
Naoe Nabeshima tore a piece of mutton in a big mouth and chewed it while shouting to the Japanese who grabbed the meat.
“Hi!”
The Japanese pirates answered with a cacophonous voice.
“Sanbanro, those who truly love their swords should consider their swords as their other selves, and eat, drink, and sleep with them, and the swords should be used more often, so that the human swords can be united as one, and whenever they fight, they will never fail to win!”
Nao Nabeshima said to Matsuura Sanbanro with a grin as he cut the lamb with his katana.
Nabeshima Naoyo did just that, when he ate meat, he would use his katana to insert and cut it, when he drank wine, he would pour wine over his katana, when he slept, he slept with his katana in his arms, and even when he lived a life of two with his concubines, his sheathed katana would participate in the process…….Of course, afterwards, he would carefully polish and maintain the katana ……
“There are 30 million martial arts paths, everyone has everyone’s path, this is General Naoyo’s path, my path is different from the General’s.”
Matsuura Sanbanro shook his head slightly, politely stating that he disagreed with Nabeshima Naoyo’s words.
“Hehe, that’s also true, the martial arts path is thirty million, the path I follow has few peers, and I can’t force it.”
Naoe Nabeshima laughed, and took it upon himself to cut the meat with his katana and feasted on it.
“Fragrant, really fragrant!”
“Killing Ming people, robbing Ming people, fucking Ming people, this day is so beautiful, I really regret not coming to Daming earlier!”
“Daming’s flower girl can be really good, and tender, tall, resistance is also a different flavour ……”
“Ming people are really good to kill, Ming people are really rich, there are so many good things, this village and town in our place can be called ‘city’, in the Ming is just a village and town ……If not for the fact that we have a mission to explore the Su Lake area of Daming and can only take some not heavy gold, silver and jewellery, I really want to move all the things in the Ming people’s homes to the ship! Just this one village and town alone, we have enough to eat for years on this trip back.”
One hundred and fifty Japanese pirates feasted on the food while laughing and exchanging their experience of plundering.
Half an hour later, Nao Nabeshima threw the leg of lamb bone in his hand to the ground, hiccuped, got up and stretched his waist, and cursed with disappointment and satisfaction, “Hiccup ~~ full! Are the Ming army all old men, one by one, old arms and legs how do they drop, how come they’re so slow, so long ago, and still haven’t arrived?!”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”Matsuura Sanbanro laughed.
“Hehe, it is indeed a good thing.”Nao Nabeshima and a group of Japanese laughed out loud.
“Bastards, half sleep, half alert! Nurture your strength to wait for the Ming army! Sanbanro, I’m going to sleep first, remember to wake me up if there’s any movement later.”Nabeshima Naono first shouted to a group of Japanese, urging them to sleep and be on guard, and then warmly explained to Matsuura Sanbanro, before clutching his sword, kicking open the door of one of the rooms, and going in to sleep.
That is, Nabeshima Naono only lay down before warming up the bed, heard a clamour from outside, and then Matsuura Sanbanro came in with a cautious face and reported, “General Naono, the Ming army is coming.”
