A Ming Dynasty man actually became a samurai, and a high-level samurai, which made many people dissatisfied. There are rumors that this sea lord will become a samurai in the future, that is, the name of one side. Although this is absurd, no one dares to say anything wrong. Whoever mentions this in front of the grief Guan Bai, it is not impossible to have a caesarean section or remove the territory.

Moreover, this silence is strong enough. With so many famous navy, large and small naval forces, no force can catch up with the silence fleet.

Chen Wu has a different position now. Several ports in Kyushu and Honshu have given him the right to trade exclusively. Originally, he had an advantage in the trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, but now this has become an absolute advantage.

Now if you want to do business in Japan, you must cooperate with him. Those big and small sea owners who relied on Japan to make a living, either surrendering or forming alliances, were almost controlled by the silence. Not that no one wanted to join forces, but with the support of the land army, they were really not opponents near the Japanese territorial waters.

If you don't know each other or have someone to give me some advice, looking at the silence, etiquette, and behavior of wearing Japanese robes, no one can see the difference between silence and other daimyos. You are completely a Japanese seaborne in Kyushu, Japan

Moreover, after coming to Osaka Castle, the sequence of worship was arranged very high. Guan Bai's subordinates and generals were very polite to Lord Shen. Despite this grief, Guan Bai Toyotomi Hideyoshi still took time to summon Chen Jian alone. He also talked to each other for a long time in private. This was a rare polite treatment.

Originally, the Arima family and the Ryuzoji family, who were not convinced of their injustice, began to ask someone to go privately to say that they had a good relationship with Shimazu family and even sent a daughter to ask for marriage.

Chen Wu can be said to be full of ambition. In the Ming Dynasty, he was just a pirate. Although the official officer was respectful to him, it was just his money. Anyone with an official can arrest him, and any good citizen can despise him. But now it is different. Chen Wu is already a superior person in Japan and a noble person.

But the scenery is so glorious, and the ambition is so proud that it is so in Japan. But leaving here, it is still depressed.

I originally thought that I could avoid Tianjin Wei by coming to Japan's own system, but I found out that if I want to trade on the eastern seas and buy and sell any goods that can bring huge profits, I must deal with the alliance between the Sanjiang system and the Sanjiang system.

For example, after the sucrose trade with the largest total profit occupied Luzon, all sucrose transportation had to pass through the control area of ​​the Sanjiang fleet. Moreover, Luzon's purposeful planting of sugar cane and developing sugar-pressing industries made the sugar production here very large, and it could already impact the Japanese market.

Silk, raw silk, medicinal materials and porcelain, Songjiang and Tianjin Wei are all under the control of the Sanjiang system. In every penny I earn at sea, the Sanjiang system has to get half of it or even more people pinch its lifeline. It feels not good. In the past, I try hard to get rid of him.

What made Chen Wu feel depressed was that he had found a store selling furs outside the gate in Incheon Port, North Korea. He thought he had found a source of profit, but he didn't expect to send someone to inquire. It was still the industry of Sanjiang furs. Now he can't escape Wang Tong's scope at sea.

Chen Wu is now extremely passionate about obtaining a port, a port exclusively owned. As long as there is such a place, it can have a stable supply area and a stable rear.

Driven by this idea, Chen Wu was extremely dedicated to the orders of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and summoned fleets everywhere to collect useful ships. The amount of gold and silver that Toyotomi Hideyoshi allocated to him was very huge. If it were in the past, it would be a great opportunity to exploit and deduct it, but Chen Wu was not very greedy, and used it as much as possible to build ships and win people's hearts.

His style was very satisfied with the samurai sent by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he gained the trust of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. However, the momentum was so great that the ships were enough. It was difficult for him to hide anything he had done. Not to mention that Japanese merchants had already started to transport food and various equipment to Himema and Chichi-chin countries through water and sea routes. The westward side was Tsuma Island, and the westward direction was North Korea.

What is there in North Korea? From top to bottom, it is poor. The real benefit is the Ming Dynasty heading west, where is the rich country with gold everywhere.

……………………………

According to common sense, the Ming Dynasty was a big country, and Japan was a small country. Both sides could not speak the same thing at all, but if you look closely, it may not be the case. During the Jiajing period, the Japanese pirates who suffered the disaster in the southeast and almost shook the country were just the backbone of the defeated warriors in the Warring States Period in Japan, and the various troops of the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses.

Look at the current situation, the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, while the generals and soldiers from all over the Japanese have just stopped. One is peaceful for a long time, and the other is a battle-torn battle. This is naturally different.

The maritime merchants who traveled between the Ming Dynasty and Japan saw more of the Japanese generals and soldiers, but less of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial guards' majesty on the grasslands were extremely far away for them, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false. However, in the 200th century of the Warring States Period, Japan traveled between various ports and saw a lot of things.

What the Ming Dynasty's central government talks about? It will be circulated in teahouses and wine shops that night. This situation in Japan will not be much better. Keeping it confidential may be slightly better, but on the second and third day, corresponding news will also be circulated in the Castle Town.

How many people Guan Bai wants to use? In November of the 19th year of Wanli, many people with identities already knew, and there will be no less than 200,000.

200,000 troops, during the Warring States Period, the troops that were dispatched to this number were last year's conquest of Hojo. This time, they were going to dispatch such a large scale, and there were also news about the generals and legions they used, all of which were Western countries and Kyushu, the generals and elite corps of the four countries.

With such a scale, such generals and soldiers, 200,000 people, how many times did the Ming Dynasty mobilize the troops of this scale to carefully calculate? It is really impossible to find these years.

Many battles are so-called hundreds of thousands, but they are just bluffs and millions, but in fact, there are many people, after careful consideration, it seems that there is no more than 100,000. Moreover, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not able to fight, so we have to distinguish why the family members are personal soldiers, such as model soldiers and regular soldiers. Many soldiers are just a soldier, but actually do a job of carrying baggage.

If the 200,000 Japanese soldiers were carefully planned, they were all veterans everywhere, fighting on the battlefield for the role of last year, without any falsehood. If such a team really went to North Korea, wouldn’t it be like a storm and swept all the way? Even if it arrived in the Ming Dynasty, Liaoning would not have enough power to resist.

The sea lords have been on the sea for a long time. They don’t see much and they don’t have many basis for judgment, but this does not prevent them from making judgments and making choices.

The news made them envious of him, Sanshui King was going to be a real king this time. Many people said this, he has a boat, and I have a boat, so why can't I do this? There are many large and small forces coming to help.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi naturally got better. The big ship that Japan could use was called Anzai Ship. A wooden building was launched on top of a large ship that launched large tubes and bows and arrows. It could not withstand the wind and waves at all. The small boat was not worth mentioning. Even the technology of iron nails was mastered in recent years. There was no way to compare with the ships of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the Dutch and the Portuguese were willing to provide ships, but they could only take out ten ships in total, and the compensation required was too high.

In addition to being in vain, there is also a sea lord Li Dan who is willing to go out for someone else. Toyotomi Hideyoshi is willing to reward people like Li Dan. He also knows that he cannot rely on his family and needs to be restrained and balanced.

After wandering on the sea for a long time, I have been accustomed to wind and waves, life and death, and people at sea are used to taking risks, but the sea owners and sea merchants have also accumulated a large amount of wealth. Not everyone wants to take a try. Many people want to wait and see, see how things develop and then place bets

They don't want to blatantly support anyone or not. They just serve their lives for money. Japan is willing to use gold ingots and trade rights to bribe them. Naturally, they are happy to help

The sea lords and maritime merchants are actually quite indifferent to their national attributes. In the late period of the Japanese plague in the southeast, most of the powerful pirates on the coast drove the Japanese soldiers to plunder and burn them. They didn't think they should do these things, were they traitors? They just thought they had money to make money and why didn't they make money.

A missionary once recorded in his travel notes like this: "To be precise, the pirates of the Ming Empire should not belong to what nation or country, they themselves are a country. To be precise, their actions and moral values ​​are very similar to those of the Netherlands. The forces on the sea are themselves a whole, and they have their own judgments of interests. Although some tend to be the Ming Empire, some tend to be Japan, and some only agree with themselves. If they have their own territory, perhaps they are the Federal Republic of the Netherlands in the East..."

There are various choices and judgments, and there are those who are willing to help Japan invade North Korea, and those who want to stay out of the matter, there are those who are worried about Daming.

In December of the 19th year of Wanli, a maritime merchant Zhu Junwang and Chen Shen reported in Fuzhou that the Japanese were about to attack North Korea and invaded the Ming Dynasty at the Fujian Censorate Office.

But there is a paradox here. The Ming Dynasty had the most severe crimes and punishments for communicating with the Japanese. You inform us, where did you get the news? If you didn’t communicate with the Japanese, how could you explain the authenticity of this?

Moreover, people who think they have logical judgments think that the so-called Japanese invasion of North Korea is incredible, extremely absurd, far apart, they were hit in the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period, how could there be 200,000 people attacking? Isn’t this exaggeration or intentionally disturbing people’s hearts?

Back then, in the Fujian and Zhejiang area, there was a stage performing. Someone joked that "Japanese pirates are coming." Tens of thousands of people were panicked, hundreds of people trampled and died of crowding, and illegal people took the opportunity to steal. Isn't this time?

The two maritime merchants were arrested immediately and threw themselves into prison. The Fujian inspector said leisurely:

"This is Gouwu's own achievements and incites people to make profits."

For a moment, everyone praised him, saying that the patrolman was calm and he saw through the tricks of the traitor. He was really the choice of the prime minister.

However, this fact is too amazing. Although the inspector took such a disposal, the local Jinyiwei did not dare to make such a judgment. He hurriedly sent someone to the prison for interrogation and delivered the news to the capital.

This behavior was also criticized by the inspector, saying that you should not do such a ridiculous official business if you take the salary of the court. It was nothing, but your case may turn into a disaster. If it is spread outside, wouldn't it be panic? I really think there will be any signs of Japanese siege.

"If there was no Wang Tong, how dare you do so arbitrary today?"

The inspector said this with a righteous attitude. Wang Tong is now the Duke of Liao, and it is not a big deal to scold him in Fujian. He can also have a reputation of being honest and bold.

It is true, but this time the matter did not develop as expected by the Fujian inspector. The Qianhu, the Jinyiwei who was scolded by him, sent his words to the capital. In fact, there were many words in various places to scold Wang Tong, and the Jinyiwei did not pay much attention to it. The Liao Dynasty's Duke Wangdu Temple was just smiling, so why should you care

But this time it was no longer possible. At the end of the first month of the 20th year of Wanli, the imperial envoy arrived in Fuzhou. The Fujian inspector was sentenced to prison for dereliction of duty. Zhu Junwang and Chen Shen were brought from the prison, praised and condolent, and arranged a ship to go north immediately and rushed to the capital.

Song Chanchan also gave birth to a boy. When she learned that the child was safe and she was a boy, Song Chanchan cried with joy, which scared the woman who served her and quickly comforted her. Crying and sad during her confinement period is easy to hurt her body.

Wang Tong was naturally extremely happy. It was much easier to name this time than last time. Since he already had "Zhongyong", this is Wang Yi.

Wang Tong got a son, and the whole Jiangnan was sensation. In the first month of the 20th year of Wanli, everyone took the opportunity to celebrate. The congratulations broke the threshold, not for Lord Wang to get a son, but for taking the opportunity to get close to the Liao Duke. Wang Tong was naturally willing to enjoy the people.

Prince of Wei arrived in early February. This person was a distinguished guest in any sense. Wang Tong set up a family banquet and was lenient. After three rounds of wine, the guests and hosts were happy, but a guard hurried in, saying that there was an urgent report from the capital. After Wang Tong opened it, the smile on his face disappeared.
