Guam is about to be stormy, but the arrival of the Western soldiers cannot affect Hirado in the slightest.

Matsuura Takanobu was very smart, and he also missed the days when Wang Zhi brought him help, this time he had the same enemy as the Ming army, and immediately lowered his posture to ask Chen Bazhi's opinion and sent troops to attack Longzao Temple.

In other words, the Ming army didn't have to be in vain for him, what he really wanted was not land, let alone the intention of dominating Kyushu, and the Matsuura clan, who was born in a wealthy family, just wanted to be safe in the three-third of an acre of land in Hirado.

It doesn't matter who killed Ryuzoji Temple, as long as he is killed.

There is no doubt that Chen Bazhi can certainly fulfill his little wish, and the main reason why he came here is this matter.

However, for him, the most interesting thing is far from the alliance with the 48th Party of Songpu to discuss the matter of sending troops to fatten, and he can't deal with the Japanese, so he has full authority to ask Li Dan.

Since the Chen army landed in Hirado Matsuura Takanshin and donated the five islands as a forward position, the biggest change was to expand the Ming Sea to the east, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea have always been the Ming Inland Sea, needless to say, the key is that the merchants of Korea, Liaodong, and Zhili swarmed to the five islands.

The Nanyang Yamen has never been a simple military yamen, and their interests almost envelop the entire Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants, who have more than Fujian and Guangzhou provinces, but their interests are not only in the two provinces.

The most vivid example is the official merchant family of Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, whose business is truly nationwide, with Shanxi and Ningxia in the north and Fujian and Guangxi in the south.

In the past few years, Chen Mu has used his own actions to let people know what it means to be prosperous, and let the whole world know what the Nanyang Expedition means - it means that Gao Gong is going to collect business taxes!

Since Chen Mu went to the South Seas, the precious timber, gold, silver, copper, iron, pearls and gems from all over the country, which were originally only produced in the southwest mountains, poured into the country in large quantities, and the number increased year by year, which greatly impacted the price of products in the commercial market in the country.

In order to protect some merchants, at the beginning, Zhang Juzheng proposed to raise the customs lottery to protect the merchants in the country, of course, not for Baohao merchants, but for the small handicraftsmen of Bao Daming and the laborers who made money by selling their strength.

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

It took their ministers several years of hard work to barely raise the deficit of about 1 million taels in the past year; The reason why Chen Mu was reused and gave him the right to be in the sky overseas was only because with him, he was able to increase this number from one million taels to two million taels.

As a result, last year's customs tariffs doubled, and the income increased by 2 million taels, and the enthusiasm of maritime merchants did not diminish in the slightest, what does this mean?

It means that the Yellow River will be controlled, disaster relief in various places, and the food and salary of the army and soldiers will not be worried, and the provincial government in arrears will be able to reduce or reduce taxes and rest with the people.

In the words of Gao Ge Lao: This is the top two towns of Shuo!

In fact, this is not only because of the maritime, the Ming Dynasty, everything has to find the reason from the inside, the key is the four out of the high arch, every year the Beijing officials and ministers who have both ability and political integrity go out to read, to a certain extent, the rectification of the rule of the officials, the rule of the Qingming is nothing to worry about.

Zhang Juzheng grasped the matter very carefully, and he was ruthless, and the customs draw he proposed was naturally fierce.

As a result, as soon as the old man Gao was happy, his beard was twitched, and his little hand was patted, and he pondered about drawing business taxes.

Because the money of maritime merchants is not money, and the merchants in the country are similar, right? Fifteen draws one, and Zhang Juzheng draws out four million taels of folded color, so if the local commercial tax is drawn together, how much can be collected?

Old man Gao pondered this all day in the house, how scary is it to others?

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

Chen Mu is rich in Nanyang, and the route to Manila alone is making money every day, but few merchants in the north can catch up, and this time the news of Chen Bazhi's use of troops in Hirado was transmitted back, and the merchants from all provinces rushed over.

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

According to the meaning of the old man of the Li family, he wanted his two sons to be a thousand households under him, of course, limited to the unpleasant contact experience between Li Rusong and Chen Mu, Li Chengliang wanted to send Li Ruzhang and Li Rumei.

The veteran's vision is the most vicious, and now the border town is peaceful, and the place where he can make the most military achievements is under Chen Mu, who has been fighting constantly, and is deeply treated by the emperor's ministers, which is the easiest place for generals in the world to get ahead.

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

Now as soon as he heard that Chen Bazhi had boarded Hirado to build a port and set up a village on the five islands, Li Chengliang immediately asked his son to write a letter to Hachiro - if it weren't for Hachiro being a junior, Li Chengliang would have wanted to write it himself.

In fact, Chen Bazhi could see that this letter was read by the old man Li and written by Li Rumei.

The official position of a thousand households is not big or small, but in the end, it is a military attaché, and if you don't have military merits, you can't be promoted to military attaché. Of course, sometimes others don't care how military merit comes from, but military merit is a hard condition.

Only in Nanyang, the civil and military officials below the governor only need to report, that is, Chen Mu has no bad intentions, otherwise it will be better to make money from this alone than he can go through Nanyang.

The minister of Nanyang can make his own official uniform, regardless of whether the court is happy or not, he can write a letter to remove the person after he is not happy to report, but the official has already been done.

Write a letter to Manila, Chen Bazhi discussed with Li Dan here and replied to Li Rumei, asking them to come over first, he was the time to employ people.

I thought that Li Ruzhang and Li Rumei would come to dozens of people, but I didn't expect that more than 1,000 people came, and there were 200 serious Liaodong iron cavalry, and it was Li Chengliang who didn't know who to send the order, and 200 Liaodong iron cavalry went to Wudao to help fight in Nanyang, but in fact, it was Erli pro-soldiers.

The others were the Han Dynasty in Liaodong, the Jurchens in Jianzhou Haixi, and the Mongolian soldiers in Tainingwei's hometown, strange people from all sides, who belonged to their subordinates in a situation that Chen Bazhi couldn't understand, and even brought people and horses to prepare their own big ships, and even transported a lot of military rations.

Erli rested on the five islands for more than ten days, and several large ships came from the sea, and hundreds of cowering Korean soldiers arrived at their posts, and they were stunned by the rampant Japanese pirates on the island.

Don't worry about it, the two Li brothers clapped their hands and hugged their fists at Chen Bazhi and said, "Commander Chen, the soldiers are ready!" ”

Chen Bazhi was confused by this operation, this is two thousand households?

I found all the soldiers, all the ordnance and horses, and even the food and the ships.

Well, there are 7,000 households in Luzon Beiwei.

Chen Bazhi was noncommittal, these two northern soldiers and thousands of households seemed to him to be very similar to the Western feudal legions that his adoptive father had said, a hundred noble knights each brought two or three servants and six or seven peasant soldiers, but he accepted all the Japanese soldiers, and he didn't care about the combat power, so it looked similar to the combat power composition of the Japanese samurai.

It's enough to be a partially.

"Send the message, let Matsuura Takanobu board the ship, and divide the troops to attack another Takanobu!"
