Chapter 37: Silver Mountain
Chapter 37: The Silver Mountain (Page 1/1)
The dwarves have landed!
In Manila Bay, the samurai who had crossed the ocean and arrived exhausted and difficult to arrive after a torrential rain were supported by ashigaru wearing a hat and leaned against each other on the wooden crates of the port.
Some of the poorly armoured, even bald-headed swordsmen who wore their bellies and waists on their shoulders looked at the huge warships docked in the harbor with joy, but the more well-dressed and even barely luxuriously dressed armorers looked warily at the Ming guards who were guarding them with birds or spears.
Looking at three or four hundred people at a cursory, at least ten of them are higher than others, perhaps the samurai class in Japan; Hundreds of them can be regarded as old acquaintances, at first glance they are Japanese or pirates, and most of the rest are wearing simple belly armor and wearing a hat, some of them don't even have decent armor, and their eyes are also full of fear when they look around, they should be peasant ashigaru.
In addition to these Japanese who can be seen at a glance, there are also forty or fifty Han Chinese, although they also wear Japanese-style armor and hold Japanese-style weapons, but they have different temperaments, especially when they speak, they are full of old and wide-ranging, and they are fellow villagers when they hear it.
These remnants of the Japanese army were brought by Qi Zhengyan of Chen Mu's old department.
"After three years of leaving, take my caravan to Japan, and when the caravan comes back, you are gone, I thought you died in Japan."
Nanyang Yamen, Chen Mu sat on the head, looked at Qi Zhengyan, who was kneeling in a single robe, raised his hand and said: "Now you bring three or four hundred people over, saying that you have lost the war in Japan and want to go back to Chen to beg for food, you have to say, why?" What's going on in the past few years. ”
Qi Zhengyan was lost in Japan back then, and Chen Mu had no beginning or end, and now when he comes back, he is also in a daze, and he has not received any news in the intervening days.
Chen Mu can see that in the past few years, many changes have taken place in this old department.
Qi Zhengyan knelt on the ground and was about to apologize, but was stopped by Chen Mu waving his hand: "Don't talk about those useless, you are my flag-keeper, you saved your life back then, you gave me your life for three years, although you didn't say goodbye, it didn't affect the business in Nagasaki, the guest of honor, there is no need to say anything superfluous - just say what you have done in Japan over the years." ”
Qi Zhengyan is irrelevant, Chen Mu's words are for the other staff and subordinates present.
If he is unpopular in the future, whoever wants to leave him can decide to stay on his own, provided that it does not harm his affairs, and it will be good to meet in the future.
"Yes."
Qi Zhengyan nodded, and then raised his head and looked a little embarrassed, and said: "In the second year of Longqing, I was ordered by the lord to lead the fleet to Nagasaki, and sold goods locally. ”
"Japan is not peaceful, so I hired some people to protect the goods, and then I met the Japanese help, he is recruiting troops for the local clan Nizi, because his subordinates heard that the Nizi clan used to have the silver mountain of Iwami Province, so he made an agreement with their leader Xingsheng, after the Nizi clan returned to the country, I will mine it, and want to transport it to the lord by sea."
"At that time, the lord had already gone north, and the people sent back were all blocked by the officials and soldiers along the coast, and his subordinates couldn't leave, and they didn't dare to convey this matter to others.
"Later, I helped them fight, purchased a batch of bird guns, trained like the lord, defeated Yueshan Futian City, and received the local fiefdom, and then it has been reluctant to support, after all, the soldiers are scarce, and they are defeated by the Maori clan of the Wang clan, and they are completely defeated this year, and Xingsheng does not know where to go."
"I heard the Portuguese say that the lord led the troops to fight with the Xiyi in the South Seas, and led the fleet with the Japanese to find it, and encountered a strong wind at sea, if it weren't for Sun Qian, Sun Commander Tongzhi helped, I'm afraid he would be buried in the belly of the fish."
Chen Mu sniffed, waited for Qi Zhengyan to finish, didn't speak for a long time, took a sip of the tea bowl, and then smiled: "The Ming warriors of the Nizi family are disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”
He doesn't understand!
He has heard of the Maori family, and it seems to be a big name, but what is the Nizi family? Japan helped him know that Qi Zhengyan Long Toshio was the first to be taken captive to Japan and worked under him and learned the art of jumping, but which one is Xingsheng?
The only thing that can make him have an exact understanding is probably only the word Yinshan, which is very vivid.
Mountains, mountains of silver, mountains of silver.
Nothing else, this is a good thing!
Qi Zhengyan didn't care about Chen Mu's ridicule, or Chen Mu's ridicule of him should be two sentences. When he went ashore, he inquired, and Long Junxiong, who was no better than his cronies in the past, now has two or three thousand subordinates, and he has made great achievements, and it seems that he is only one chance away from going out to be a general.
He was in Japan for more than a year with the Japanese assistant leader Shi Gao Wanshi, and the actual command of the troops was less than 1,000 people, which was very aggrieved in comparison.
After thinking about what he hadn't said, he looked up and said to Chen Mu after pondering for a while: "In order to get a bird gun in Japan, his subordinates formed a righteous brother with Osaka businessman Jia Konishi Ryuzzo, and also recognized his apprentice as a righteous son, called President Qi, who was just fourteen this year, and this time he also brought the bay, hoping to saddle before and after the main minister's subordinates." ”
Don't say that Chen Mu doesn't know, he just knows, and he doesn't care, he smiled: "No matter what, it's always a good thing to come back, don't make your own decisions in the future, if you have anything to tell me in advance, if you can do it, think of a way together, the more people are more powerful-you have to tell Chen that there is a silver mountain over there, what is the difficulty of sending three or four thousand soldiers to help you?" Maybe you can become a big name in Japan. ”
Chen Mu said and beckoned to Long Junxiong, who was standing on the side, and said, "Go and arrange a place to stay for the soldiers brought by Zhengyan, they should be hungry, prepare meals, just like your people." ”
Long Junxiong clenched his fists and left, Chen Mu let Qi Zhengyan sit down, and asked: "Tell me, what has happened in Japan recently, not to mention anything else, how are the Portuguese missionaries doing in Japan, Oda Nobunaga and the princes of Mikawa, how are they doing recently?" ”
It's not that Chen Mu wants to call it so 'seems to understand very well', Oda Nobunaga is no problem, Donkey Sai Gong really doesn't know what Mikawa Toutou's surname is now, the last time I heard his news, the one who changed his name from Matsudaira Motoyasu to Tokugawa Ieyasu, his surname and name have changed, how should this be called?
"None of them are good, the Portuguese are not trusted in Japan, and only the merchants are willing to approach them in order to get the goods; Oda and Tokugawa were defeated by the coalition forces, Nobunaga burned several temples last year, and the whole world was their enemy, or it would not be long before they were killed, and it was mostly believed that Takeda Shingen would take the world. Qi Zhengyan asked, "Why did the lord ask about them?" ”
Chen Mu shook his head, got up and patted the armor on his body and said, "I don't know what it looks like for Tokugawa Ieyasu to wear bear hair on the battlefield, let's eat first, and then there will be time to catch up on the old days and live with peace of mind." Go back and have someone bring you armor, and don't wear it anymore. ”
When Chen Mu walked out of the castle and just caught up with Long Junxiong who came back, he whispered: "Liandou reported back the situation of the Japanese people, and the experience is the same as what Zheng Yan said. ”
"Let's make up a separate one first, and then let Liandou contact them and find out the situation, it should be available."
Chen Mu walked towards the stable as he spoke, shaking his head as he walked.
"Japan, Japan ......"
