    "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yasuda."

    Mitsuhisa Shimazu of Tsurumaru Castle had no idea what happened in the former Luko port. He was extremely satisfied with Yasuda Yumasa's performance.

    Only the ancient Chinese sages were able to defeat the enemy with just a single word, but now, I am very happy to have such a talent.

    Shangchuanhu's face was a little gloomy. In his opinion, this was abnormal. Ding Yunyi was definitely not the kind of person who could be dismissed with just a few words.

    What went wrong?

    "Kamikawa, there is no need to have any more doubts." Shimazu Mitsuhisa said with a smile: "I heard that there were many people like Mr. Yasuda in ancient China who could defeat the enemy with just one mouth. We have Mr. Yasuda.  , that¡¯s our honor.¡±

    Shangchuanhu forced a smile and didn¡¯t say much.  At least now it seems that Yasuda Yuma did it

    "My lord, what's wrong, the Ming army sneak attacked Qianlugang, and all our soldiers guarding the port were killed. Qianlugang, Qianlugang fell into the hands of the Ming army!"

    "What!" Mitsuhisa Shimazu, Ko Kamikawa, and Yumasa Yasuda were shocked and shouted at the same time.

    Shangchuanhu was the first to react, and he let out a long sigh: "This was arranged by the cunning Ding Yunyi again. He first confused Mr. Yasuda with his words, and then took advantage of our negligence to attack in one fell swoop. Success  "

    Yasuda Yumasa looked ashamed and was silent for a long time. He then said: "Master Governor, I have failed your expectations and been deceived by Ding Yunyi. I only have one death to wash away my shame."

    "No, Mr. Yasuda, this cannot all be blamed on you" Shangchuanhu spoke up for him instead: "None of you have ever dealt with Ding Yunyi, and you don't know how cunning and cunning this man is.  Lord Governor, I hope you can forgive Mr. Yasuda for his unintentional mistake"

    Shimazu Mitsuhisa nodded reluctantly: "What should we do now? The former Lukang Port has fallen into the hands of Ding Yunyi, which means they can drive straight in"

    "We should follow what we discussed before" Lake Kamikawa said coldly: "Continuously harass them, and then have a decisive battle in Tsurumaru Castle We have already established dozens of  A surprise attack team. The Governor also appointed Oshima Heisaburo as the general of the surprise attack team. I thought that the Governor can order Oshima-kun to take action"

    "Okay. I will do exactly what Kamikawa-kun said." At this time, Shimazu Mitsuhisa had to put all his hopes on Kamikawa Lake.

    "My lord, Mr. Miyamoto, please see me."

    "Mr. Miyamoto? Where is Mr. Miyamoto?" Shimazu Mitsuhisa was stunned for a moment.

    "Mr. Miyamoto Musashi."

    Shimazu Mitsuhisa was startled again.  Then he was overjoyed: "Quick, please invite Master Miyamoto to come in."

    ??In Japan, I am afraid that everyone does not know the name of Miyamoto Musashi.

    In "The Book of Five Rings" written by Miyamoto Musashi himself, he said that he defeated Arima Kihei of the "New Toryu" in his first duel at the age of thirteen, defeated Tajima Kingdom's strong strategist Akiyama at the age of sixteen, and defeated the powerful strategist Akiyama of Tajima Kingdom at the age of sixteen.  When he was one year old, he went to Kyoto and fought with military strategists from all over the world. From the age of thirteen to twenty-nine, he fought more than sixty duels without losing once.  In addition to swordsmanship, he is also a master of various martial arts such as shuriken and taijutsu.  In his twenties, he had already founded a school known as "Yuan Ming First Class"; in the tenth year of Qingchang's reign, he wrote the swordsmanship book "Mirror of the Art of War".  During the Kuanyong period, he completed the art of war with two swords, which is known as "two swords are first-class".

    Miyamoto Musashi¡¯s influence in Japan is so great that there is a saying that ¡°Sanada Yukimura¡¯s gun, Miyamoto Musashi¡¯s sword¡±.

    Miyamoto Musashi became famous due to his decisive battle with Sasaki Kojiro.  At that time, Kojiro's reputation was at its peak and he was said to be undefeated, while Miyamoto Musashi was just an unknown boy.  The duel was held on Yanliu Island.  The time is noon.  Kojiro arrived early, but Miyamoto Musashi still didn't show up. Seeing that the sun had turned to the west, Musashi leisurely appeared in everyone's sight in a small boat.  Kojiro, who was already impatient with waiting, did not bother to accuse Musashi of breaking his promise, pulled out the sword and threw away the scabbard.  Hike to the shore.

    Miyamoto Musashi stood up calmly and said: "Kojiro will be defeated!" He also jumped on the shore. The result can be imagined, Musashi was waiting for work and was sure of victory.

    It is said that before the duel, Musashi said: "The sword and the sheath are a whole, but you threw away the sheath, which shows that you are far from reaching the highest level!"

    Kojiro was speechless for a moment.  This seems a bit overwhelming, because in fact, most Japanese swordsmen do not bring scabbards when fighting, and wearing scabbards would be a hindrance. Musashi is the creator of the two-sword style.  After the duel, Kojiro was seriously injured. He struggled and said, "I will leave it to you to complete my unfinished business." After saying this, he died.  Not completed?His career, of course, was to promote the way of swordsmanship. Later, Musashi traveled to Japan, competed in martial arts, discussed the way of swordsmanship, and created the "Book of Five Rings", which can be regarded as "living up to his trust."

    Another theory is that Sasaki Kojiro was already an old man in his seventies at that time, and his strength was not as good as before, so he lost to the young and energetic Miyamoto Musashi, and after the duel, Sasaki Kojiro was killed by Miyamoto Musashi  , so there is no proof of death, and the living Miyamoto Musashi can naturally say whatever he wants.

    Miyamoto Musashi can be said to be very despicable. First, he was late and deliberately upset Kojiro Sasaki, so he did not perform well. Later, he occupied a geographical location and used the sun to shine in Kojiro's eyes, causing Kojiro to be unable to see himself clearly. Then he used despicable tactics to defeat Sasaki.  Kojiro.  Later, when Kojiro was seriously injured, he used his men to kill Kojiro.

    Similarly, Sasaki Kojiro also set up an ambush on Musashi's return journey in order to let his disciples surround Miyamoto Musashi if he missed.

    But in any case, Miyamoto Musashi became famous in one fell swoop through this decisive battle.

    When he heard that Miyamoto Musashi had arrived, Shimazu Mitsuhisa was so happy that he went to the door in person to welcome Miyamoto Musashi in.

    "I heard that Master Miyamoto traveled far and wide in search of opponents. Why are you here?" Shimazu Mitsuhisa asked respectfully.

    "People say that I am a saint in swordsmanship, but in fact I know that there are many masters in the world. Therefore, while I was completing the 'Military Mirror', I searched for masters of swordsmanship to hone my swordsmanship." Miyamoto Musashi seemed very profound.  Test: "But unfortunately, I didn't find the person I expected"

    Shimazu Mitsuhisa knew that Miyamoto Musashi was known as the "Sword Master" in Japan, so he was probably the only one who had the qualifications to say something like this: "Mr. Miyamoto's sword is invincible in the world. I don't think anyone dares to fight with you, right?"  "

    "The profundity of the sword does not lie in the sword itself, but in the person." Miyamoto Musashi shook his head slightly: "The sword of the samurai is their soul. The way of the sword is the way of heaven and man, it can be used both left and right, and it is wonderful to pick it up. Its spirit is wonderful.  They are all in the realm of "empty". The way of emptiness, emptiness, is not the way of emptiness, but the way of emptiness. This emptiness is the result of hard work day and night, constantly polishing the mind and mind, and constantly carrying on.  Polish your senses and vision. When your spirit is spotless and the clouds of confusion are swept away, the emptiness of the sword is a state of freedom and clarity; when facing the enemy.  Not being blinded by the environment, not being blinded by the actions of the other party, not being blinded by your own thoughts, but being able to face everything as it is is the meaning of being empty.  The worst thing about our situation is that we think we know it"

    How could Mitsuhisa Shimazu understand this? He could only nod his head and say yes repeatedly.

    "I want to see things clearly. See people and myself clearly, see everything clearly. However, this state of mind that sees through the bottom of everything and goes straight to its roots does not happen overnight. When I was thirty years old, I personally experienced Marumezo Renzuo  After entering the realm of the Sword of All Living Beings, I have been persevering in exploring the way of life with the way of the sword, hoping to connect to the source of life." Miyamoto Musashi said calmly: "From then on, I took this realm of Tetsusai as myself.  Finally, I was praised for my excellent swordsmanship, and I was confident that I was invincible. My heart naturally improved, but I couldn't open the final iron door This was my frustration in the past few years.  For this reason. Late at night, I thought about committing suicide My study of painting, studying Chinese and various books was also to use the strength of others to open this iron door"

    ??Shimazu Mitsuhisa and Kamikawako looked at each other, what does this mean?

    "But now I suddenly found a way to open this iron door." Miyamoto Musashi suddenly became very excited: "When I traveled to Satsuma Domain, I heard that someone was killing Tsurumaru Castle, so  I went to see the corpses of those people. I saw it, and it was a completely different realm from my 'emptiness'"

    Shimazu Mitsuhisa and Kamikawako suddenly realized that what Miyamoto Musashi was talking about must be the corpses that died under Ding Yunyi's sword, right?

    "I wonder how Master Miyamoto saw those corpses?" Kamikawako asked in confusion.

    "Because I heard about a battle in Tsurumaru Castle, and someone openly called me to fight, so I had one of the graves dug up"

    Miyamoto Musashi said it as if nothing had happened, but the people who listened were sweating.  However, Kamikawako understood immediately that the person Miyamoto Musashi was talking about called Zhen was Ding Yunyi!

    I very clearly remember that during the siege that day, the number one master under Shimazu Mitsuhisa, Tamiyayama Kuni, couldn't even block Ding Yunyi's sword.

    He still remembered Ding Yunyi laughing there: "I heard that the number one master on the Japanese island is Miyamoto Musashi. Go tell him that one day Ding Yunyi will definitely learn his sword skills!"

    Miyamoto Musashi must be here for this

    "I'm in the corpseI sat in front of him for three whole days and three nights" Miyamoto Musashi completely ignored what they were thinking: "At first, I thought this man's sword was too cruel, and I couldn't understand the 'emptiness' at all.  He must be no match for me. This is what I thought on the first day On the second day, I suddenly felt that this man's sword was in a class of its own, and his killing method was fierce.  Wounding, killing the enemy with a knife, or my opponent On the third day, my mood completely changed. The more I looked at those wounds, the more frightened I became.  If my sword has reached the realm of 'empty', then this person's sword has reached the realm of 'killing'"

    "Master Miyamoto, is there any difference between these?" Shimazu Mitsuhisa couldn't help but asked.

    Miyamoto Musashi sighed: "In the midst of thousands of troops, taking human lives is like picking out objects from a bag. We don't pay attention to the dexterity and etherealness of the sword. We only pursue the domineering power of the sword. Once we make a move, we will definitely not hold anything back, either the enemy's life or our own life.  It's so overbearing that there's no reason to say it I've never seen such a knife before Killing, this knife only pursues how to kill people, kill enemies, kill yourself, and kill everyone in the world.  All things are so terrible"

    Shangchuanhu hesitated for a moment: "If this man's sword is against the master, who will win and who will lose?"

    Miyamoto Musashi was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "It is unknown who will win or lose."

    When these words came out, people were shocked.  "Sword Master" actually said such words?  Miyamoto Musashi has defeated all the invincible opponents in Japan, but now he is worried about an enemy he has never met before?

    "Who is he?" Miyamoto Musashi asked.

    "His name is Ding Yunyi." Shangchuanhu said the name angrily.

    "That Ding Yunyi who once killed Oniomaru?"

    "Master, have you heard of this person's name?"

    "I've heard it, I've heard it."

    Miyamoto Musashi said softly: "I have heard this man's name many times. I heard that he was the first brave general of the Ming Dynasty. At first, I didn't care, but now I can't wait to see this man.  ¡±

    Shimazu Mitsuhisa was immediately overjoyed: "Does Master want to have a life-or-death showdown with Ding Yunyi?"

    "It's not a showdown of life and death, but I want to see who is better, my 'empty' sword technique or his 'killing' sword technique" Miyamoto Musashi said slowly.

    Mitsuhisa Shimazu almost cheered: "The master is my Japanese sword master, and Ding Yunyi must not be my opponent. The master may not know it yet, but Ding Yunyi has commanded his army and invaded my Satsuma domain, killing countless people. If  If the master is willing to take action, I don¡¯t have anything to worry about.¡±

    "Oh, he actually dares to invade our country, Japan?" Miyamoto Musashi's eyes narrowed into a thin line: "Then I will have to meet him for a while. My sword has not smelled blood for a long time. This time, I'm afraid it will  Make an exception."

    As he spoke, he carefully ordered: "Go and find the bodies that died in Ding Yunyi's hands. No matter what method is used, I will carefully study the flaws in his sword skills so that the Ming Dynasty will not dare to offend me again from now on."  Japan."

    "Don't worry, Master, we will try our best to find the bodies of those people so that Master can study strategies to defeat the enemy." Shimazu Mitsuhisa sat aside respectfully and said loudly.

    Miyamoto Musashi nodded slightly, closed his eyes and said no more.

    His heart was already filled with one person's name, and there was only one vague figure in his heart.  (To be continued: Gone with the Sky. Registered members of literature recommend this work.
