Chapter 468 Arrived in Fuzhou

In the Chunfeng Desire Building, Jiang Xia sat with Ryuichiro Hirashi for a while.

Seeing Hirashi Ryuichiro finishing the table of dishes full of vegetables like a wind blowing away, Jiang Xia couldn't help but wonder if there was still a pig's soul in his body.

During the meal, Jiang Xia asked about the situation of Yin Liu Yuanka during the current meal. After asking, Jiang Xia realized that the current situation in Japan was more complicated and intense than historical records.

The battle between Daming, shogunate, nobles, manor owners, various forces, and warlords was very serious. Among them, the shogunate was basically the target of public criticism, and when all parties encountered it, they would rush up and step on. It may be because the shogunate hegemony rule made too many people jealous of the shogunate era before.

Since Shangquan Yixiangzhai supports Ashikaga News, Shangquan Yixiangzhai and Yinliuyuanxiang also suffered heavy losses.

Now Yinliu Yuanxiang is basically in a state of being broken and half-dead. There were more than a thousand disciples at the peak of the entire genre, but now there are less than two hundred.

In order to find military expenses for Ashikazu Shinto, the entire Yinliu Yuanxiang was basically sent to the Ming Dynasty.

Because Hirashi Ryuichiro had already mastered the first six kills in "Seven Secrets" and his strength had improved a lot. In addition, he was familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty, so Hirashi Ryuichiro appointed Hirashi Ryuichiro as the master of Yinliu Yuanka.

Nowadays, most of Hirashi Ryuichiro are entrenched in the Ningbo area, and as before, they take on some business of helping people kill people.

Hearing that Heizhi Ryuichiro had more than 100 people under him, Jiang Xia thought about it and said, "Ichiro, can you take your people to help me do something to Fujian?"

"Do you kill someone?" asked Ryuichiro Hirashi. His plain tone made him feel as if he was asking what to eat today.

Jiang Xia nodded and shook her head again: "It's right to kill people. But it's not just killing people. I want you to cooperate with me and destroy the entire Fujian ronin."

"Oh, those ronin pirates you killed?"

"Yes, is there any problem?" Jiang Xia asked.

Heishi Ryuichiro nodded and said, "No problem, but"

He looked at Jiang Xia with some embarrassment and said, "Senior, if you just ask Ichiro to help you do things, then Ichiro will definitely not refuse and will not have any requests. But if you ask the entire Yin Liu Yuanka to help you do things, then Ichiro may have it."

"What do you need? Is it right to pay the money?" After Jiang Xia said that, Ryuichiro Heizhi nodded embarrassedly.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is no problem. Just say, how much do you want?"

Hirashi Ryuichiro stretched out five fingers with his right hand, but after thinking about it, he took away two more. He said, "Senior, you can get at least three thousand taels of silver."

"Three thousand taels?" Jiang Xia exclaimed.

Heishi Ryuichiro's face turned red and he lowered his head in shame and said, "Senior, this is the lowest price Ichiro can offer. I hope he can understand."

"I'll give you 30,000 taels." After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I'll ask someone to pay you a deposit of 10,000 taels first. After you finish your business, I'll ask someone to pay the remaining 20,000 taels."

After saying that, Jiang Xia had already walked out of the room and went downstairs.

In the room, Hirashi Ryuichiro's face was full of incredible expressions, and he murmured, "One, ten thousand taels?" He looked at the open door and whispered to himself: "Senior, are deliberately taking care of Ichiro, senior, he is such a good person."

In fact, Ryuichiro Heizhi knew that Jiang Xia originally booked the price for this matter was 100,000 taels of silver. If the other party refused, he would add some more.

After finalizing the matter of Ryuichiro Hirashi, Jiang Xia can basically start preparing to go to Fujian.

Jiangxia, Fujian, will definitely go, but how to go is worth considering. Going to Fujian with a swagger is like treating yourself as a target, standing there, waiting for someone to shoot a hidden arrow.

After nightfall, Jiang Xia called Gao Jia and Qiu Wenshi, and then Xiao Sha, Bu Jinyun, Geng Zhongqiu and others, and began to arrange how to go to Fujian.

Jiang Xia’s plan was very simple. First, let Yin Ren disguise himself as Qian Juesing, dress up as Jiang Xia, and slowly head to Fujian. Jiang Xia hid in the dark and rushed to Fujian as fast as possible.

As for the martial arts lecture hall, I went to Ningbo first, then took a boat from Ningbo to Fujian, and then waited for his instructions before acting.

The others, like Xiao Sha, Zhang Meng, Yin Renmin, and they followed Jiang Xia and went directly to Fujian.

After Jiang Xia briefly mentioned the general plan, everyone will basically understand it.

There was nothing to say that night.

The next day, Jiang Xia found Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing and explained to him that he was leaving the capital. Then Jiang Xia found Huawenshan and invited him to go on the road together.

When Huawenshan heard that Jiang Xia had decided to go so quickly, he was very excited. He immediately agreed to prepare everything and accompanied Jiang Xia back to Fujian.

Jiang Xia told him that he would prepare for five days before leaving.

But in fact, on the night that day, Jiang Xia had quietly left the capital with Xiao Sha, Zhang Meng, Qian Juexing, Hai Dayou, Han Mufeng, Xue Ruqin and Su Meiniang.

Just as Jiangxia and the eight others were rushing to the road overnight, the wild bamboos on the banks of the Yongding River were also lit up with candlelight.

Yang Tinghe sat in the Yazhu Hall and asked the Fengzhu Lord: "Master Feng, Jiang Xia is suddenly preparing to leave the capital, so he is probably going to Fujian."

"It should be." said the Fengzhu.

"So should we intervene in this matter?" Yang Tinghe asked.

Master Feng laughed from behind the bamboo curtain and asked, "Why do we need to intervene? Although I don't fully understand what Jiang Xia is going to do, I think he must be doing a big thing this time. We just need to intervene at the critical moment and get a share of the pie."

"Yes." Yang Tinghe responded.

The journey from the capital to Fujian is not too far. After Jiangxia and the others left the capital, they got on the boat first and took the boat along the Grand Canal all the way to Nanjing. Then they entered Jiangxi from Nanjing and rushed from Jiangxi to Fujian.

Fujian's overseas trade is mainly concentrated in Fuzhou. Moreover, Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian, so starting from Fuzhou is the best way to start with Fuzhou.

After more than half a month of travel, Jiang Xia and the other eight finally arrived at their destination.

The eight people did not show their mountains and did not show any water, so they would not attract anyone's attention.

Due to the difficulty of traveling all the way, Jiangxia and the eight of them had a good meal of seafood after arriving in Fuzhou, and then found a top-notch inn to rest.

The next day, Jiang Xia asked Han Mufeng to go to the hall to see if there were any boatmen in Fuzhou who were willing to go to sea in the end.

Han Mufeng went to Fuzhou Wharf to ask for a whole morning, but no one was willing to go out to sea.

Of course, this is normal. Because pirates are rampant on the sea now, no one will be willing to go out to sea unless it is necessary.

After Han Mufeng came back to report the news, Jiang Xia told him to let him go and announce that they were willing to pay a thousand taels of silver just to go to the nearer islands to go to sea.

Soon, Han Mufeng brought two seemingly loyal old men back to the inn.

The two old men looked about fifty years old, and their bodies looked quite strong, probably related to their frequent trips to sea when they were young.

According to the two of them, they bought a Haicang boat in a joint venture and happened to go out to sea to fish recently, so they could take them to Cangshan Island, which is closer to the Fuzhou Wharf.

The two of them talked about the island roughly, making the island beautiful, making Su Meiniang's eyes shine, and she really wanted to go.

Seeing that Su Meiniang was so interested, Jiang Xia nodded and agreed.

He and the two old men agreed to meet at the dock at dawn tomorrow. When they meet, they will pay a deposit of 500 taels of silver. After returning, they will pay another 500 taels. The two old men agreed at once and praised Jiang Xia for being generous.

The next morning, Jiang Xia and the other eight got up early and rushed to the dock, and finally saw the Haicang boat that the two old men talked about.

The Haicang ship was a medium-sized and large ship in the Ming Dynasty. It had enough water to get seven or eight feet away, and it was more than enough to go to sea. Even if it encountered wind and waves, it would not be a problem.

After Jiang Xia and the others arrived, the two old men came out to greet each other.

Jiang Xia signaled Han Mufeng to hand over the five hundred taels of silver to the two old men first. The two old men were so happy to take the silver. The two enthusiastically pulled Jiang Xia to introduce the situation of the ship and crew to him.

The two old men are cousins, one is Hu Hai and the other is Hu Jiang. Hu Hai is three years older than Hu Jiang and is also the largest shareholder of the Haicang Ship.

The two are already old, so naturally they cannot be the ones they are in charge of the stewards themselves. Those who are responsible for sailing, sailing, and those who are in charge of the stewards are sailors who follow them to make a living.

Since it is going out to sea to fish, the sailors are now preparing fishing tools.

They had already started preparing before Jiangxia and the others came, so Jiangxia and the others waited for a long time, and the sailors were ready and could drive the boat at any time.

Jiang Xia and the other eight men did not delay much, and then got on the boat.

The Haicang ship is divided into two upper and lower layers, and most of the lower layers are places where sailors live and rest. The upper layer is naturally for Jiang Xia and others who have paid money. After all, they are going out to play and need to see the scenery on the deck.

After driving for about an hour, several sailors brought fish fillet porridge and some seafood to Jiang Xia and the others, saying that they were going to prepare breakfast for them.

But Jiang Xia and the others politely refused to take over the property, and each took out their own bags of Fuzhou's specialty pastries that had been prepared in their bags, and ate them there with the famous Fuzhou ice spring wine.

Seeing Jiang Xia and the others preparing pastries and wine, several sailors were obviously surprised. Jiang Xia also caught their expression when they turned around, with an obvious expression of unhappiness.

Jiang Xia sneered in his heart and exchanged glances with Xiao Sha, Su Meiniang, Xue Ruqin and others. The seven of them nodded, although they were scattered on the deck, as if they were watching the scenery.

In fact, their respective positions block each other's dead corners to prevent people from raiding.
