It's no wonder that Zhu Cihong is like this, he is almost like his father, he has not received much orthodox court education since he was a child.

Oh, it doesn't seem to be able to say that, Zhu Cihong was deeply immersed in Confucianism before, but he didn't have time to get in touch with the art of war and war, and Uncle Chongzhen couldn't hold on.

With the national strength of the Chahar Khanate, it will definitely not be able to defeat the rakshasas, but with the firearms support provided by the Ming Dynasty, it is not a big problem to hold on for a few months.

And now that the war has not started, Liu Hong's plan to go to Dongying is just to explore the situation over there, and he wants to come back in three or two months.

Liu Qing means...... Hey! When Zhu Cihong heard this, he instantly felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Well, the son can be taught!" There were no outsiders beside him, Liu Hong gradually said.

"But if the Chahars come to ask for help, how will I respond?" Zhu Cihong didn't care at all, but continued to ask.

"Just push it on me, you, tomorrow, I have to go to the martial arts hall and find Yan Jiaoyu to go to the palace to teach you, it won't work like this." Liu Hong gradually glanced at Zhu Cihong and said.

On the third night after the end of the full moon banquet, Liu Hong, who said goodbye to his family, gradually stepped on a merchant ship bound for Dongying.

Due to the current tense situation in the Ming Dynasty, in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, except for a few people such as Zhu Cihong and Gu Jia, even the courtiers did not know Liu Hongji's movements.

Even Liu Hongjian deliberately chose the time for the fleet to set off at night.

The fleet crossed the Bohai Bay and Liaodong Bay in the east, and it took only 10 days to reach the Korean Strait, and according to the established plan, it was possible to arrive at the destination of the trip, Nagasaki, in two more days.

It's just that before he arrived in Nagasaki, Liu Hong gradually saw some small and medium-sized Dongying ships floating on the sea from time to time, which surprised him.

You must know that Japan has issued a lockdown order a few years ago, and because of this, the trade between the Ming Dynasty and Japan has almost been interrupted.

It was only later that the Tokugawa shogunate slowly discovered that Japan lacked resources and could not live normally if it did not do business with China, so Nagasaki was decided to be a place for trade with Ming merchants.

Moreover, the Tokugawa family also had a heart, and in addition to the Ming Dynasty, they also added the Netherlands as a trading country, firstly, the two would not be pitted compared to each other, and secondly, the Netherlands was also an old trading partner of Japan - many muskets were bought from the Europa during the Warring States period of Japan.

Here I want to say that in terms of the use time of the musket, Japan is actually not later than the Ming Dynasty, and the early Ming Dynasty came out of the Franco machine gun from the hands of the Franco machine man, and the Japanese copied the Franco machine gun.

Nobuhiro Takeda, one of the three heroes of Japan's Warring States period, had a team of Furlong machine muskets under his command.

"Old Wu, isn't Dongying already locked up the country? Why are there so many fishing boats out there? Liu Hong gradually asked Wu Yunzhong, the steward of the fleet who was looking in the direction of Nagasaki with a telescope.

Wu Yunzhong was around forty years old, and he had been in charge of the trade between Xishan Shanghe and Dongying, and he could not only speak Dongying fluently, but also knew the trade of Dongying.

"Lord Wang, the Japanese people also want to eat fish!" Wu Yunzhong put down the binoculars and smiled.

"That's right, but you can't call it that anymore when you get to Nagasaki, you have to call me master, don't forget my identity!" Liu Hong said gradually.

Yes, if the Japanese want to eat fish, then someone must go out to sea to fish, and this habit is not only forbidden by the national closure order, but also by the United Nations Convention on the Sea in later generations.

The famous Dolphin Bay is a record of the crime of poaching dolphins in violation of international law, and even in order to satisfy the desire of the Japanese people to eat whales, later generations of Japanese people actually hunted whales in the name of scientific research.

Even if you have to hunt thousands of whales a year, even if you can study more than 1,000 whales every year, the shamelessness can be seen.

Liu Hongji's trip was made as the owner of the Nishiyama Shoga, which has several partners in Japan, such as the Tagawa family, the Chiba family, and so on.

It's just that only one of Liu Hongji's twelve large merchant ships was loaded with some tea, and the remaining eleven ships were loaded with only one thing—people, except for the necessary supplies.

Eleven large merchant ships carried a total of more than 3,300 people, including more than 1,000 elite sailors of the Beiyang Naval Division, more than 1,000 fierce men of the Praetorian Guard, and more than 1,000 personal guard battalions of Liu Hongji.

It's just that because they are about to dock for a long time, only the sailors are hanging around on the decks of each ship, and everyone else is hiding in the huge cabin of the cargo ship, of course, this sailor is not an ordinary sailor.

"Huh? Old Wu, why do I see that these fishing boats have a basin hanging on the mast? Liu Hongjian pointed to a medium-sized Japanese fishing boat in front of him.

"Hehe, my lord, that ship is the Kawada Maru, I know the owner, as for the basin they put on?

Hehe, Lord Wang, it's actually filled with feces and urine! Wu Yunzhong approached Liu Hong's mysterious way.

Most Japanese boats like to be called pills, and pills were translated as dung balls, urine, and poop in the Edo period, which is a reference to the strange beliefs of the Japanese at that time.

During the Ming Dynasty, the fishing boats on the southeast coast went to sea to pray for peace and worship Mazu, Mazu is also known as the concubine, the queen of heaven, the Virgin of Heaven, the mother, is the common belief of shipwrights, seafarers, travelers, merchants and fishermen in the past dynasties.

However, at this time in Japan, the Toei people believed in tengu and believed that feces and urine could ward off evil spirits, so much so that every Toei fishing boat had a urinal hanging on the mast.

The urine bowl was filled with feces and urine, and when the wind and waves and other ominous disasters were treated, the Japanese people would pour feces and urine into the sky in order to scare away the filth.

"Poof-these widows are really ......" After listening to Wu Yunzhong's explanation, Liu Hong gradually burst out laughing.

The Wajin is really different and ingenious, and he has played a new realm like the Wajin who has read countless Japanese movies in later generations.

The fleet passed by the Kawada Maru, and even Lao Wu said hello to the owner of the Kawada Maru across the sea.

After another two hours, the fleet could almost already see the coastline, and Liu Hong suddenly became uneasy again.

Although he was well prepared this time, it was not for nothing that he went to a strange place before, and when he didn't take tens of thousands of troops with him, he walked around the past and fought for several years without scars on his body.

But this time, limited to their identity, they only brought about 3,000 people, not only that, according to the plan, these people naturally could not land, at least it was impossible for the Tokugawa shogunate to agree before turning around, so these thugs had to anchor in the port of Nagasaki with the fleet.

"Old Wu, are you sure that you can escape the inspection of the Japanese people?" Liu Hong asked Wu Yunzhong in a low voice.

"Don't worry, sir, I know Amano, who is in charge of the inspection at the port, our Xishan Shanghe is still doing business with his family, this person is greedy for money, and his subordinates are sure to deal with it.

The master doesn't need to say much when he goes ashore, and look at his subordinates! ”
