The old-fashioned shark boat with a high bow and stern is docked in Tianjin Port, and the warriors on the ship who have shaved their hair for the appearance of a moon-shaved hairband slowly marched and disembarked from the ship, they were dressed in Ming armor, and the sword was obliquely inserted into the Japanese belt, and the hair had been shaved bald but wrapped in a Ming hair scarf, and it was introverted between the lines, making it difficult to distinguish which country and who it belonged to, which caused a commotion among the people of Tianjin Port.

The Ming army that came to meet this problem solved this problem well, and the elite family from the Yamen of the Beiyang Military Government carrying a bird gun took over the port defense from the hands of the frightened Dagukou Baihu, and recruited Lifu to carry the shark ship and put down one by one the lacquerware boxes of the Japanese special products.

At this time, Li Dancai, who was surrounded by several samurai dressed in mountain armor, wearing phoenix-winged helmets, and holding long knives and short hammers, slowly got off the shark boat and walked all the way from the trestle to the port on a thick wooden trestle.

He had been on the ship for many days, and when he received the news that Fu Yuan had summoned Chen Mu, he took a boat from Iwami all the way through the five islands to pass through Jeju to replenish supplies, and then sailed directly to Tianjinwei, and then anchored at Tianjin Wei Port for three days before disembarking.

In the Wei River, Li Dan and his entourage of more than 100 people changed to river boats and sailed more than 20 miles in the river before arriving at the Beiyang Military Government.

Chen Mugang returned to Beiyang from Beijing, heard that Li Dan had been waiting on the port ship for several days, and hurriedly asked people to summon him to get off the ship, go to the infantry barracks to take a bath, his hair was not dry, he changed his clothes and walked out of the barracks.

I haven't seen it for a long time, Li Dan's complexion is a little darker, and he looks more robust, but now he is no longer the appearance of a descendant of a hairy boy pirate like he was in his early years.

"The child meets his father-in-law, congratulations on his knighthood!"

A few steps in front of him, Li Dan bowed down first, and then followed Wu Ben to bow down, and gave Chen Muxing a big gift in a dignified manner, which is not surprising, but the guys who looked like Japanese warriors in the back spoke their Chinese words correctly, some called 'Meet Oriental Chen Shuai', and some simply 'Meet Dashuai', which surprised Chen Mu.

When Li Dan got up, Chen Mu instructed his subordinates to prepare meals for everyone in the school field, and recruited Li Dan to enter the barracks with him, and then asked: "When you go to Tianjin Port, why don't you get off the ship first, and drift on the sea for a few days to suffer." ”

"The father-in-law is not in Tianjin, and the sons and brothers shaved their heads for the sake of cheapness, for fear of disturbing the people." Li Dan followed Chen Mu into the barracks and looked left and right, explaining softly, and finally looked around the vast school field and took a deep breath, crossed the threshold of the barracks, and then said: "I have been wandering for all these years, not in these few days. ”

"They're not widows?"

Li Dan shook his head with a smile and said: "The children didn't take them to Tianjin to play, the father-in-law took over the Oriental, and he had the responsibility of controlling the armies. ”

"They have brocade stalls, businessmen, exiled pirates, and sergeants from the warriors of the Japanese country, all of whom are loyal to our compatriots."

Stepping over the threshold of the barracks, he was accustomed to seeing the military residence of the independent courtyard guard or the military village with the boundless barracks, this kind of barracks connecting up and down the stairs made Li Dan a little unaccustomed, and asked thoughtfully: "My father-in-law lives here?" ”

Putting aside the shape, just say that Chen Mu's bedroom that walked to the deepest from the corridor was only a few steps away from the abbot, and there was not even a screen, and there was a bed, a table and two suitcases, which was also called a room?

Several large maps were nailed to the walls with iron nails, which had been drawn in charcoal and were messily drawn, making the space even more cramped. When Li Dan's entourage scraped the black gold bamboo pattern and turned it into a lacquered wooden box and put it in the house, he put the house with nowhere to go.

Chen Mu smiled disapprovingly and opened the lacquered wooden box, took out a thick stack of official documents from inside, and said: "This kind of hut is still quite comfortable, I just live for a while, the military government has already gone to recruit soldiers, so we must build the barracks first, and it is not too late to build the yamen when the recruits come, these two years, how are you in Japan?" ”

"Father Lao is worried, the child is fine."

The entourage was summoned outside, and when Li Dan saw Chen Mu doing it, he hurriedly gathered his sleeves and helped move out the official document, and said: "I started on Goto, and then I went to Izumo to press Ishimi, and there were several times when I sent troops but they didn't go into battle, all of them were stationed around Shanyin and Shanyang, and there was no risk." ”

Since Li Dan is here, the document is also here, Chen Mu is not in a hurry to understand the military, the document has a general chapter of the war signed for Chen Jiujing, which was written by Chen Luan's son and son, Chen Mu's son, although Chen Mu has not seen that Yizi a few times, but he knows that he was transferred to Japan after graduating from the Navy Martial Arts Hall, and the general chapter of the war report written should always be clearer, so he picked it up and read it.

"That is to say, Qin Wangjun is still in the Kansai area of Japan, and he failed to enter Wangjing." Chen Mu turned his head and asked Li Dan with a smile: "What's the matter, over there or in the country, have you ever met a favorite woman?" When the matter is settled in Japan, our fleet will sail to the other side of the sea, and it is better to have children to inherit the family business before leaving. ”

Li Dan paused slightly when he put down the official document, and then calmly put down the official document, and said: "The child has no plans to marry a wife and have children, but in recent years, he has been studying Europa books under the guidance of the Nanyang Military Government, and has also learned some original manuscripts through the missionaries over there, and he is fluent in listening, speaking, reading and writing, so he must be able to be competent for his father-in-law's arrangements for the child in Europa." ”

It sounded like Li Dan was not interested in marrying a wife and having children, Chen Mu frowned slightly and asked, "What about Hachilang, he doesn't plan to marry a wife and have children?" ”

"Maybe it's because of the influence of the child, Hachiro has no plans to get married, but he has adopted a righteous son in Japan." Li Dan didn't want to say too much about this matter, so he turned to the battle situation and said: "In addition to the area around his king's capital, a large area of land in Kansai and Kanto has been under the control of the imperial court, but its king is held hostage by Oda, Tokugawa and other rebel ministers, the child is in charge of the Kansai baggage, and the Kanto is guarded by the generals Li Rusong and Ni Shangzhong. ”

Sounding like the situation was very good, Chen Mu nodded slowly, focusing on Chen Jiujing's battle report chapter, and said in surprise: "In two years, Kansai alone has fought more than 400 battles? ”

Chen Mu calculated in his heart, if he added Kanto, he wouldn't have to fight two battles a day? There's something wrong with this report!

"Since the dynasty intervened in its war, the Japanese state from the general to the common people can be divided into two parties, one is close to the Ming Dynasty Qinwang Party, the other is the rebellious Zhuming Party, first Matsuura Takanobu was appointed by the imperial court to be the general of Qinwang, and then Longxin was killed by Zonglin, and Zonglin was chased by Shimazu, and all the war reports were carried by the brocade clothes stalls scattered all over the people, and this is true."

Chen Mu raised his hand, with the Nanyang Military Government more and more information about Japan, although its national situation is chaotic, Chen Mu also knows something, he can remember a few big names on Kyushu Island, even so, he was puzzled when he heard what Li Dan said, put down the battle report and asked: "General Qinwang, Matsuura Takannobu, Otomo Sorin, and the Shimazu family...... What is the Ming army doing, what is Hachiro doing, why are they always fighting back and forth? ”

"Hachiro." Li Dan raised his hand and turned a few pages at the end of Chen Jiujing's battle report, checked the line of the baggage chapter, and said to Chen Mu: "In the first year of Wanli, Iwami lost 197,000 taels of silver to Yinqi Island, and in the second year, he lost 243,000 taels of silver, and now the silver of Yinqi Island has reached 450,000 taels. ”
