Chapter 37 Silver Mountain

The dwarf has landed!

In Manila Bay, the warriors who had been exhausted and difficult to reach after heavy rain across the ocean were supported by their feet wearing formation hats and leaned against each other on the wooden boxes at the harbor.

Some bald waisted swordsmen with simple armor and even just wore a belly, looked at the harbor and stopped by huge warships, showing joy, but more armored men, who were well-suited and exquisitely dressed, could barely be called luxurious, looked vigilantly at the Ming Guards who were holding bird guns or spears around them.

A brief look at three or four hundred people, at least ten of them were higher than others, perhaps the Japanese samurai class; hundreds were considered old acquaintances, and they were Japanese pirates or pirates at first glance. Most of the rest were wearing simple belly, armor, and the heads and hats. Some of them didn't even have decent armor clothes. The eyes of the surroundings were filled with fear, and they should be peasants' attention.

In addition to these Japanese people who can be seen at a glance, there are also forty or fifty Han people. Although they are wearing Japanese armor and Japanese weapons, they have different temperaments. Especially when they speak, they are full of old and Guangxi. When they hear that they are fellow villagers, they have already started to call for food with relatives from the flag army.

These remnants from Japan were brought by Qi Zhengyan, the former subordinate of Chen Mu.

"After three years of leaving, I took my caravan to Japan. When the caravan comes back, you are gone. I thought you died in Japan."

In the Nanyang Yamen, Chen Mu sat upright, looked at Qi Zhengyan who had taken off his body and knelt in a single dress, raised his hand and pointed to the outside, "Now you have brought three or four hundred people here, saying that you have lost a war in Japan and want to go back to Chen to have something to eat. You have to say why, right? What's going on in the past few years?"

Qi Zhengyan was lost in Japan back then, which was a loss for Chen Mu. Now he is still confused when he comes back. He has not received any news during this period.

Chen Mu can see that many changes have occurred in this old subordinate in recent years.

Qi Zhengyan knelt down to the ground and was about to apologize, but Chen Mu waved his hand to stop him and said, "Don't talk about those useless things, you are my bannerman. You saved your life back then. You worked for me for three years. Although you left without saying goodbye, it did not affect your business in Nagasaki. There is a guest of honor, and there is no need to say anything extra - just say what you have done in Japan over the years."

Qi Zhengyan has nothing to do with it, Chen Mu said that he would listen to other staff members present.

If he is unpopular in the future, whoever wants to leave him can decide to stay or leave himself, the premise is that he will not ruin his affairs and will meet again in the future.

"yes."

Qi Zhengyan nodded, raised his head and looked a little embarrassed, saying, "In the second year of Longqing, I led the fleet to Nagasaki on the order of my lord to sell goods in the local area. My subordinates rely on Portuguese priests and received news that the prices of Osaka are low. After returning the fleet, they left behind people to go to Osaka's Border Port to buy goods with Japanese merchants, and went to Nagasaki to supply the fleet."

"The country is not peaceful in Japan, so I hired some people to protect the merchants. Later, I met Japanese aid and he was recruiting soldiers for the local clan Nizi family. Because his subordinates heard that Nizi family had a silver mountain in Ishimi Country in the past, they made an agreement with their leader Yukiyoshi that after the Nizi family was restored, I would like to mine it and want to transport it to the lord by sea."

"At that time, the lord had already gone north, and all the people sent back were blocked by the government troops on the coast, and his subordinates could not leave, so he dared not convey this matter to others. For the lord, his subordinates just left without saying goodbye and had no news."

"Later, I helped them fight, bought a batch of bird guns, trained troops like the lord, captured Tomota Castle in Yueshan, and obtained the local fiefdom. Later, I have been trying hard to support it. In the end, there were few soldiers and few generals, and they were defeated by the prominent Maori clan. This year, I was completely defeated. Fortunately, I don't know where to go."

"I heard from the Portuguese idiots that the lord led his troops to war with the Western Yi in the South China Sea, and led a fleet with Japanese aid and others to search for it. When there was a strong wind on the sea, if it weren't for Sun Qian, commander Sun and his mentors would have been buried in the belly of the fish."

Chen Mu sniffed, and when Qi Zhengyan finished speaking, he didn't say anything for a long time. He took a sip with the tea bowl, and then smiled and said, "The Ming samurai from the Nizi family is indifferent to respect!"

He doesn't understand very much!

He had heard of the Maori family, and it seemed to be a daimyo, but what was the Niko family? Japanese aided him knew that Qi Zheng, Yan Long, and Toshio, was hired to Japan and worked under him, and learned the skills of jumping into battle. Fortunately, which one was Sheng?

The only thing that can give him a clear understanding is probably the word Yinshan, which is very vivid and vivid.

Silver, mountains, mountains made of silver.

Nothing else is useful, this is a good thing!

Qi Zhengyan didn't care about Chen Mu's ridicule, or Chen Mu's ridicule was just right. When he went ashore, he inquired. Long Junxiong, who was no longer as close as his confidant, now has two or three thousand subordinates. He has achieved military achievements and is only a shortage of opportunity when he goes out to be a general.

He joined forces with Japanese assistants to lead Shi Gao Wanshi for more than a year, but his actual command of less than a thousand troops was less than a thousand, which was very depressed compared to this.

After thinking about what he hadn't said, he looked up and said to Chen Mu: "In order to seek bird guns in Japan, his subordinates became sworn brothers with Osaka merchant Xiao Shilosso. They also recognized his apprentice as their adopted son, named President Qi. They are just fourteen this year, and this time they also bring the bay. I hope they can be in front of the lord's subordinates."

Don’t say that Chen Mu doesn’t know him, he doesn’t care. He smiled and said, “No matter what, it’s always a good thing to come back. Don’t make your own decisions in the future. Tell me in advance if you have anything to do. Let me think of a solution if you can do it. There are more people and more power. If you want to tell Chen earlier, what’s the difficult thing to send three or four thousand soldiers to help you? Maybe you can also be a famous name in Japan.”

Chen Mu said as he waved to Long Junxiong who was standing beside him, and said, "Go and arrange a place for the soldiers brought by Zhengyan. They should be hungry. Prepare the meals, just like yours."

Long Junxiong left with his fists, and Chen Mu asked Qi Zhengyan to sit down and asked, "Tell me what has happened in Japan recently, not to mention anything else, how did the Portuguese preaching in Japan? Oda Nobunaga and the Sankawa princes, are they doing well recently?"

It’s not that Chen Mu wanted to call him so "it seems to understand it very much". Oda Nobunaga is fine. Sai Lu Gong really doesn’t know what Sankawa Head’s surname is now. When he heard the news last time, the man changed his name from Matsuhira Motoyasu to Tokugawa Ieyasu. His surname and name were changed. What should he call him?

"Not good, Portuguese is not trusted in Japan, and only merchants are willing to approach them in order to get the goods; Oda and Tokugawa were defeated by the coalition forces, Nobunaga burned several temples last year, and the whole world is their enemies, and they will be killed soon. Most people believe that Takeda Shingen will win the world." Qi Zhengyan asked, "Why did the lord ask them?"

Chen Mu shook his head, stood up and patted his armor and said, "I don't know what Tokugawa Ieyasu looks like wearing a bear fur to the battlefield. Let's have a meal first. There is time to reminisce about the past and stay with peace of mind. Let's take you armor and stop wearing Japanese armor."

When Chen Mu walked out of the castle and just met Long Junxiong who had come back, he whispered: "Liandou reported the situation of the Japanese, and his experience was exactly the same as what Zheng Yan said. Commander Sun sent a ship to say that there would be no Japanese pirates in the future, and it should be these people. He will continue to guard against the enemy. What should he do with these people?"

"First edit one part, then let Liandou contact them and find out the situation, it should be available."

Chen Mu said as he walked towards the stable, shaking his head as he walked.

"Japan, Japan..."

Good morning!
