Chapter 82 Li's

The storm of Guam is coming, but the Western troops are coming in a huge way but cannot affect Hirado at all.

The Japanese pirates from all over the five islands were intimidating the official army, which made Chen Bazhi's controllable troops surge. Takanobu Matsuura was very smart. He also missed the days when Wang Zhi helped him. This time he had the same enemy as the Ming army, so he immediately took a low attitude to solicit Chen Bazhi's opinions and sent troops to attack the Ryuzao Temple.

In other words, the Ming army was useless for him. What he really wanted was not land, nor did he have the intention to dominate Kyushu. The Matsuura family, who was born in a wealthy family, only thought that it was safe in Hirado's three-point land.

It doesn’t matter who beat Ryuzao Temple to death, as long as it is beaten to death.

There is no doubt that Chen Bazhi can certainly satisfy his small wish, and this is the main thing he came here to do.

However, for him, the most interesting thing is far from discussing the matter of sending troops to the Matsuura Forty-Eighth Party Alliance. He can't deal with the Japanese, so he can't do it, so he can ask Li Dan for all his power.

Since the Chen army landed on Hirado Matsuura Takanori gave the Five Islands as a frontier position, the biggest change brought about is to expand the Ming Dynasty's seas eastward. The Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea have always been the inland sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty. The key is that merchants from North Korea, Liaodong and Zhili rushed to the Five Islands in a swarm.

The Nanyang Yamen has never been a simple military Yamen. Their interests almost encompass the entire Ming Dynasty maritime merchants. The Ming Dynasty maritime merchants were mostly from Fujian and Guangxi provinces, but the interests were not only in the two provinces.

The most distinctive example is the Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei official and business families. Their business has truly reached the whole country, including Shanxi, Ningxia, and Guangdong and Guangxi in the north. Although they never go to sea, they are the largest distributors of maritime goods.

Over the past few years, Chen Mu has used his own actions to let others know what the Hexingsheng means, and let the whole world know what the South China Sea expedition means - which means Gao Gong is going to collect commercial taxes!

Since Chen Mu went to Southeast Asia, the precious wood originally produced only in the mountains of the southwest, gold, silver, copper, iron, and pearls and gems from all over the country, and the number has increased year by year, which has greatly impacted the price of commercial and commercial markets in China.

In order to protect some merchants, Zhang Juzheng initially proposed to raise customs and draw up the bid to protect the merchants in the country. Of course, the purpose of not protecting the rich merchants, but protecting the small handicraftsmen of the Ming Dynasty and Lifu who made money by working hard.

Zhang Juzheng was very careful when he raised the customs draw, for fear that he would reduce the enthusiasm of maritime merchants.

Their cabinet ministers spent several years to barely increase the fiscal deficit of the past year by about one million taels; the reason why Chen Mu was valued and gave him the right to rise overseas was only because he could increase this number from one million taels to two million taels.

As a result, the customs tariffs went a little over the past year, and the income was 2 million taels more, and the enthusiasm of the maritime merchants did not diminish at all. What does this mean?

It means that the Yellow River is governed, disaster relief is provided in various places, and military soldiers, food and salary are no longer worried. It can also reduce taxes and exempt provincial governments that arrears taxes and rest with the people.

In the words of Gaoge Lao: These two small towns have broken through customs!

In fact, this is not just because of maritime affairs or Ming dynasties. Everything has to be found from the inside. The key is Gao Gong’s four memorials. Every year, the officials and ministers with both moral integrity and ability came to read the government, and to a certain extent, the government will be clean and clear, and everything will be fine.

Zhang Juzheng was very meticulous in his work and was very ruthless in his actions. He naturally stared at the customs draw when he proposed that he would be fiercely.

As a result, when Mr. Gao was happy, he twitched his beard and slapped his little hand, and he thought about drawing commercial taxes.

Because the money of maritime merchants is not money, so the merchants in China are almost the same? Zhang Juzheng took one out of 15 yuan and was forced to give away four million taels of color. How much can he charge if he wanted to draw together with local commercial taxes?

Mr. Gao was thinking about this all day long in the house. How scary is it for others?

Merchants everywhere are not fools. Everyone can figure out the trend, but people still flock to it.

Chen Mu was rich in Nanyang, and he made money every day in Manila. However, few northern merchants could catch up. This time, the news of Chen Bazhi's use of troops in Pinghu was spread back, and merchants from all provinces rushed over.

What really made Chen Bazhi care about was not the gathering of merchants, but a letter from Li Rumei.

According to the old man of the Li family, he wanted his two sons to be a thousand-household family as his subordinates. Of course, because Li Rusong and Chen Mu had an unpleasant contact experience, Li Chengliang wanted to send Li Ruzhang and Li Rumei.

The veteran has the most savvy vision. Now the border town is peaceful, and the place where the best military achievements is under Chen Mu. He has constant wars and is highly favored by the emperor's ministers. That is the easiest place for generals in the world to stand out.

But Mr. Chen was fighting a naval battle, and there were also northern generals such as Ma Gui around him. Li Chengliang heard that they were all idle, so he didn't want to send the child there.

Now that he heard that Chen Bazhi had climbed the Hirado to build a village on the Goku Island, Li Chengliang immediately asked his son to write a letter to Hachiro. If Hachiro was not a junior, Li Chengliang would have wanted to write it himself.

In fact, Chen Bazhi saw that the letter was probably written by Li Rumei by the old man reading it next to him.

The official positions of Qianhu are not big or small, but they are military officers in the end. If they are all in the world, they cannot be promoted to military officers without military merit. Of course, sometimes others do not care about how military merit comes from, but the military merit is hard.

Only Nanyang, civil and military officers below the Governor-General only need to report, that is, Chen Mu has no bad intentions, otherwise it would be better to make money by making money alone than to manage Nanyang.

The ministers in Nanyang can make their own official uniforms, regardless of whether the court is happy or not. After they are unhappy, they can send a letter to remove the person from their posts, but they have already been appointed as the official.

When he wrote a letter to Manila, Chen Bazhi discussed with Li Dan here and wrote back to Li Rumei, asking them to come first. This is the time when he is employed.

I originally thought that Li Ruzhang and Li Rumei had only a few dozen people coming, but I didn't expect that more than a thousand people came, and there were two hundred serious Liaodong cavalry, and it was also a transfer order issued by Li Chengliang who didn't know who he left. Two hundred Liaodong cavalry went to Wudao to assist the war in Nanyang, but they were actually two Li's personal soldiers.

The others were the Han Er in Liaodong, the Jurchens in Haixi, Jianzhou, and the Mongolian soldiers in the old place of Taining Wei. They were strange and strange, and they were subordinates who could not understand Chen Bazhi. They brought their own large ships, and even transported a lot of soldiers and food.

Er Li rested on the Five Islands for more than ten days, and several large ships came from the sea. Hundreds of timid Korean soldiers arrived at the bridge. They were frightened by the Japanese pirates who were rampant on the island.

Don’t worry about it, the two brothers of Li clapped their hands and clasped their fists at Chen Bazhi and said, “Commander Chen, the troops are all here!”

Chen Bazhi was confused by this operation. Are you coming to two thousand households?

I found all the soldiers, prepared all the weapons and horses, and even sent them to the soldiers, food and ships.

Now, there are seven thousand households in the Northern Guard of Luzon.

Chen Bazhi refused to argue that these two northern soldiers and thousand households looked very similar to the Western feudal legion that his adoptive father said. One hundred noble knights each brought two or three entourages and six or seven peasant soldiers. However, he took all the Japanese pirates, so he ignored the combat power. At least he looked similar to the combat power of the Japanese samurai.

Being a partial teacher is enough.
