Chapter 64 Military Training

There is no war to fight Ryukyu. Whether the eldest son succeeds to the throne or the second son succeeds to the throne depends entirely on the ministers to deal with the matter. Where can the Tianjun beside the port, there is still the idea of ​​raising troops. Even if the heirs raise thousands of peasant soldiers, they cannot be the opponent of the Ming army. They simply send people across the sea to Fujian and report to the court to ask Emperor Longqing to enthrone.

The emperor was enthroned, but there was no need to ask about the result. It must be the second son who succeeded to the throne.

Chen Bazhi's request was easily realized. The Ryukyu ministers were concerned about the friendship between the two countries and asked Chen Bazhi to build a port in the northern part of Amami Oshima. However, they also agreed that the Ming army could not raise troops on the island without any accidents. If there was any problem, they could just send a ship to Ba Port.

The Ming army came a good time. In the fifth year of Longqing, the chief of Amami Oshima and Wan Da's relatives died, his ministers under his command planned rebellion and refused to pay tribute to the Ryukyu royal family. Therefore, the ancestor King Shangyuan personally conquered Dadao. After defeating the local plotters, he was also critically ill. The judicial officer Ma Shunde prayed that God could die for their king. King Shangyuan insisted on returning to the capital.

Ma Shunde passed away that year and was buried with a grand ceremony.

Last year, when King Shangyuan died, the throne of the prince in the country was in chaos, and no one could take care of the island. At this moment, the Ming army was willing to station on the island, and it just happened to be able to suppress the opposition forces of the island, and the court officials were happy and it was too late.

Chen Bazhi had no war to fight, and his wish was disappointed. He could only build a harbor in the north of the island. Because he looked at the northern Seed Island, he named Wangdao Port, and then built three passes on the nearby islands, namely, the pirates built Xijie Island Xiushuizhai on the opposite side of Wangdao Port and two hundred houses in the sea.

In fact, what he saw was not Seed Island, but Suwanose Island. Seed Island was much larger and farther away than that.

"Brother is here?"

Now all the five families under his command are familiar with the daily training of the Chen family army. The Eighth Master is much more relaxed and brings a few servants to hunt from the mountain. He sees Li Dan and several Ryukyu officials, including Zheng Hui, outside the camp.

He was strict in the army. Except for Chen Mu, anyone in the world would be blocked from the camp without his permission. Who made a commander who praised Wei Liaozi on the flag stall of the Northern Guard of Luzon?

The servants took the little black rabbit, which was only available in Amami Oshima, and the water village was first exposed. The officials were left outside the tent. When Li Dan followed him into the tent, he saw Chen Bazhi sitting on the main seat and carefully wiping the bird gun, with a serious expression as if the lover's arm was in his hand.

Li Dan took his seat, sighed softly, and said, "I entered the camp, your soldiers were not allowed. He still carried the military order at the gate of the camp, saying that there was no commander's permission to lead people into the camp. Hachiro, you are killing all the soldiers, who will fight you after you kill them?"

Li Dan was a fun thing to lead troops to fight. All his military talents were influenced by his own knowledge and had never learned them deliberately, nor did he feel that he needed to lead troops to fight. He had so many powerful generals and generals under his foster father, and he was proficient in several languages, knew how to travel and saw the world, and did not need to lead troops at all.

Even if you have fought a war, you have to rely on your urgent wisdom.

His brother led his troops to kill his soldiers, which made him a little scared.

Chen Bazhi carefully put the bird gun into the gun bag and put it aside. Then he raised his eyes and said seriously to Li Dan: "A humble person like me should have died on the battlefield or suffered from cold and starvation in a corner where no one knows. He only relied on his adoptive father to be able to do this today. He asked me to train troops, how dare I do it perfunctorily? My military orders are like a mountain, and only my adoptive father is the sun and the moon. How can others violate it?"

"I heard that in ancient times, half of the soldiers could be killed by killing soldiers, and Chen Ba was not talented, and he could still be killed by thirteen of them. I am willing to help his father and commander to join the princes."

Li Dan spread his hands and said, "You said that for your brother, I do great things. If you raise troops, I will raise money and food. If you do your best, you will be fine. But you force the soldiers too hard. They are very afraid of you now, so they dare not violate them. They will not drink or play cards to find women without holidays. If they leave the team in a hurry, they will have to tie up their thirty years. In the long run, they will not be able to whistle in one day..."

"That's why we have to fight. If the battle is successful, the reward is like the sun, the moon, and the trust is like the four seasons, and the morale of the army can be determined." Chen Bazhi knew it very well, and Zhang said, "Although a hundred people can compete with ten thousand people, I will bring Ryukyu officials to the heroic soldiers who are in the world, what's the matter?"

"You have plans." What else could Li Dan say? He didn't understand the training of troops very well, but when it came to Ryukyu officials, he was very energetic and said, "The important officials of Ryukyu have always been worried about Shimazu opposite the sea. They were very fierce during trade, and they bullied Ryukyu soldiers weakly, and often pretended to be Japanese pirates and robbed them."

"When you were docking, they saw that the soldiers on your ship were strict and heard that they were the elite trained by you in Luzon, who was weak, so they wanted to ask you to help them train in Ryukyu. What do you think?"

As he said that, Li Dan raised his hand and said, "Although Ryukyu land is barren and famine is often the case, food is bright and it is easy to change every day, trade is prosperous and there is no shortage of any goods."

"If you want the military training, you need the father and commander to allow you to ask. Send someone back to Luzon to ask. It would be fine if you allow them to train two thousand households." Chen Bazhi thought for a while, and the servant who stood at the door of the reconciliation waved and said, "Come in and I'll ask."

After a moment, Zheng Hui brought the old Ryukyu officials in, and after the greeting, he introduced: "This is Weng Shouxiang, the Sansi official, and his name is Ruifeng. He is a respected and respected official in the country."

As he said that, Zheng Zhui said to Weng Shouxiang: "Mr. Weng, this is General Chen, the commander of the Northern Guard of Luzon."

Weng Shouxiang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard about this official position. Two years ago, he had been on a mission to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. He was an official in charge of diplomacy when the former king was alive. At the same time, his relationship with Shimazu was also not bad.

In the trade with Shimazu, Ryukyu often suffered losses due to Shimazu's fierceness, so he hoped to strengthen military affairs and make him more confident, but what he wanted was not Ryukyu annexed by the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, some people in the middle school wanted to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, and no matter how close they were to Shimazu, no one wanted to be incorporated into Japan.

Japan and the Ming Dynasty were like two articles for Ryukyu, one was rude and barbaric, with tension; the other was gorgeous and condescending. No matter which one, they were not as comfortable as themselves.

The Ming Dynasty established a command commander in Luzon, so will it also set up a commander commander in Ryukyu in the future?

But his expression was normal. Compared to Chen Bazhi, who was thirty or forty years younger than him, he praised him for his praise and was very reserved. Only then did he express his intention: "The soldiers of Ryukyu are weak, so I want to ask the general to train some soldiers and horses for him."

Seeing Chen Bazhi's unquestionable expression, he followed and said: "Ryukyu wanted to write a letter to the emperor, but after receiving the approval, he bought military weapons from the Nanyang Yamen. I heard that the general lacked pack horses, so we can offer the general a hundred mountain horses as a reward for training."

"It's not easy to hear from Ryukyu. When it comes to buying military weapons, they want to buy muskets and three-eyed guns, but they dare not mention bird guns." Li Dan said as he looked at Chen Bazhi, feeling a little unbearable in his words, and said, "What do General Chen think?"

"Whether to practice or not is not with me, I want to send a message to the Nanyang Yamen; if you purchase military weapons, you cannot write a letter to Ryukyu, and the Nanyang Yamen will report it first; as for me, I don't want to train you."
