Don’t Chen Bazhi want to train troops for Ryukyu?

Bullshit!

He thought very much, and the more troops he trained, the better. The island of Ryukyu is likely to face the frontlines of Japan and even Spain in the future. The more reserve troops there are, the better. This is Chen Mu's combat philosophy, and he must implement it.

The so-called "not thinking" is nothing more than a mind.

If the same mutually beneficial thing is too easy to agree, the person who makes the request will feel that he has suffered a loss. This is what Chen Mu gave to Hachiro.

Although Chen Mu would definitely allow military training, the court would not interfere in the transaction of arms. There are still the most difficult problems to put in front of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Arms are too expensive.

Bird guns, single-sided chest plaques, arm bindings, various weapons, ammunition, and even small shark boats and cannons. Even if they are not considered food and grass, it will take thirty-three taels of silver to be armed.

This is not counting General Chen's loss. If he wants to train 1,000 elite soldiers, he will have to get 1,400 people and 40,000 taels of silver. It's so scary.

In fact, it doesn’t take much to do it. Chen Bazhi killed his soldiers, not just for the sake of killing. He was a madman and a fool. Killing his soldiers was just to make the soldiers absolutely obey orders and not kill more people on the battlefield.

Training troops in Luzon is better than in China, because they are new soldiers when they are recruited. They will die if they tell them that they will die if they violate military laws. They will be afraid of soldiers in China. They are not afraid of them. Just to let people know that this is the truth, they have to kill a few more people.

Even so, he still killed so many people in Luzon's Beiwei.

The situation in Ryukyu should be better. Through the mouths of Ryukyu officials, let the soldiers really know that the general will kill them, and they will seriously implement the military orders. Moreover, they are the best soldiers in Ryukyu. Maybe they only need to die three or four hundred and four to train the soldiers.

The ship sent to convey the message to Manila, but did not see Chen Mu. It was worth continuing westward. Chen Mu went to Sulu Kingdom.

The situation in Sulu was similar to that in Ryukyu Luzon, but it was not invaded by Western barbarians. Its territory was in the Sulu Islands. The neighboring country to the west was Borneo's ni country, and the neighboring country to the east was Luzon.

The land of the islands was barren and there was little corn. Most people in the country fed fish and shrimp, but they did not always suffer famine like Ryukyu, because their neighboring silt state had abundant grain production. On the other hand, the trade between the people and the Ming Dynasty was very prosperous.

"There are three kings in Sulu, namely the East King, the West King, and the Dong King. The people cooked the sea to salt, brewed cane to wine, and weaved bamboo to cloth." The merchant Li Yuxi was the guide of Chen Mu's trip. They drove a fleet along the Luzon islands to the Sulu Islands, landing at the port across the sea from Sulu and Borneo, and introduced: "The country produces pearls, gems, tortoiseshells, and there are many large beads with more than two levels."

"Ming merchants traded with local natives, and often made a profit of dozens of times. The local food was short of food and needed Ming merchants. Therefore, merchants would go back and leave several people as property, hoping to come again." Li Yuxi said and laughed, with his right hand raised his left sleeve and said, "This is undoubtedly the Luzon people. In the past, the Luzon people said that Han people often came, and this was the first Chinese language they learned."

Li Yuxi knew what Chen Mu cared about and said carefully: "But they often went to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute several years later, but every tribute must go with other countries to pay tribute."

"Speaking of this, the King of the East and his ancestors were buried in the Ming Dynasty and died of illness when he returned to the south. Grandpa Yongle ordered him to be buried in Dezhou with the etiquette of the vassal kings."

There are two tombs of overseas vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, one is the tomb of the Eastern King of Sulu Kingdom in Fuzhou, Shandong, and the other is the tomb of the King of Wuni in Nanjing. They were all buried after entering Beijing for tribute during the Yongle period.

The King of Shini in Nanjing is even more interesting. The Ming people called him Manaragana, but this word is not a name, but the common meaning of "Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-

The people of the Han Dynasty called him Lazhe, which means king; the Han people of the Han Dynasty called him the general, originally a Fujian man named Huang Yuanshou. During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was given the name Huang Senping and served as an envoy to Wu Ni. Finally, he paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty as the king of the Han Dynasty and buried in Nanjing.

Before his death, he made three requests to Emperor Yongle. One was to "all the land belonged to the ranks of the ranks" and let the 际容容 and the Duanshou River basin be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty; the second was to ask the emperor to "create the mountain behind the country to be a town" and call it Changning Zhenguo Mountain; the third was to "rely support China" and buried in the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, the Wuni Kingdom and the Duanshou River Basin are still overseas enclaves of the Ming Dynasty.

The generals and officials on the fleet were relaxed and free, while the garrisons at the port were in chaos. Even though Chen Mu had sent someone to inform him earlier, countless giant ships and ships came from the sea with noisy flags.

"I'm sorry Mr. Li got off the ship and negotiated first to prevent Chen's fleet from causing chaos in the country."

Chen Mu was not talking about anything. It seemed that Sulu was far from the Central Plains. Although the port was prosperous, the people did not have a good life. Although they were given a banner to welcome the angels, the soldiers on the shore were panicked, and even hid their guards and arranged for the wooden fence to prepare for the battle.

"Master, there are three forts in the port, and the one on the mountain is facing the fleet."

Ni Shangzhong ran from the stern. Now he is a naval leader on the Chihai Ship and is learning how to operate artillery. However, even if a naval battle really occurs, he will not have anything to do until the final battle.

Chen Mu also discovered this situation. Two of the three civil and architectural forts were empty, but the turrets near the royal palace on the mountain were undoubtedly revealed in the telescope. The muzzle that extended on the fort was facing them at this time.

Moreover, the artillery system on the fort was very familiar to him. He waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, it was the Franchise man's ship cannon, which looked like five kilograms. I also had a few doors in the Mojing. It could only fall into the sea one mile after being knocked down from the mountain. Even if the most experienced gunners were put on the coast, a hundred families would have to gather together to hit the target - where did they get it?"

He looked carefully at the Sulu Army, muskets, three-eyed guns and cold weapons on the shore. It was not surprising that bird guns were mixed with some frangipani machines, and it was different from the frangipani mechanism of the Ming Dynasty bird guns.

Ni Shangzhong didn't think this was worthy of doubt. He leaned on the Guan Dao with one hand and pressed the waist knife with the other hand and said, "I bought it, it looks like the military equipment of the Northern Army. I didn't expect that there would be a strong army in the small land of Sulu overseas."

"purchase?"

Chen Mu shook his head, raised his finger and said, "Tell you, there must be a story in the origin of these guns and cannons."

The muskets are still built in South China. This thing has no technical content. Just like the imitation of bird guns in the Ming Dynasty, they can be made by looking at them. Even if the quality is different, they are objects that can be used.

The small Franc aircraft weighing a pound was useless in the Ming Dynasty. The individual soldiers were too heavy and the size of the army was nothing more than the original version of Western circumference guns. Now there are not many Western barbarians on board.

The one you are most likely to buy is that the cannon looks like a five-jin cannon, which is a hard product from Portuguese, but there is also a problem.

Not to mention whether the religiously crazi Portuguese would sell cannons to Sulu, they would not even buy Sulu, as a sultanate, and they would have to fight when they see them.

Sure enough, Li Yuxi, who had been disembarking, came back and brought back interesting news, saying: "Portuguese is fighting with Sulu. Recently, he has attacked Sulu several times in a row, but has been repelled."
