Chapter 382 Five Islands
After all, Chen Bazhi was young, and Chen Mu was not at ease about his coming to Japan alone. Besides, the adoptive son's stubborn temper, even if he was released, he might not be able to join hands with him, and he was worried that it would have a negative effect.

He simply released another guy who was more axis from the Guangzhou prison. In fact, it was not difficult for Chen Mu to release Wang Rulong. Qi Jiguang could easily release him many years ago.

The key issue for Wang Rulong is not how to release it, but where to get him after it is released.

In Daming, letting him out was never a good thing, not for anyone.

It’s easy to release him. If he makes another mistake within two years, he might be killed directly. It’s better to be locked up in prison or under house arrest. He eats, drinks, and serves him. Although he’s not free, he’s still alive, and he can still receive a general’s salary. , 35 shimi a month, and there are hundreds of taels of silver to spend on food and clothing all year round.

Does freedom matter?
Most people in this world are fighting desperately, not because they are not qualified to eat and wait to die.

But Wang Rulong is not someone who is just waiting to die. He has great ambitions, but he must make trouble and not make others comfortable.

What kind of chemical reaction will Wang Rulong and Chen Bazhi get together?Taken out alone, the destructive power of these two people is basically equal to that of the [-] army.

"General Wang, my father ordered me to seek Nagasaki or other ports. It happened that Xiyi was entering the Longzuo Temple, so I plan to eradicate the Longzuo Temple first, and then seek Nagasaki." Chen Bazhi asked Wang Rulong in the open-air camp. Watching his army, he raised his finger to Kusano Castle in the distance, and said: "Right now, we are waiting for Matsuura Takanobu to send someone to approach him, and he will send someone sooner or later; as for Kyushu, the power is complicated, and Chen has no plans."

During the previous battle with Naoshima Naoshige, Chen Bazhi noticed that the talents of the former generals were uneven. The training is okay, but the frontline combat is a little bit reluctant.

Now that Wang Rulong is here, it is just what he wants, just to have a frontline general.

"What Longxin, is this the county magistrate?" Wang Rulong frowned, his face full of displeasure, and said, "Little Qipin, it's rude to go out of the city to greet him, and the general will sleep in the wilderness for three days ?”

Chen Bazhi was very surprised by Wang Rulong's remarks. The lower-level civil and military officials, whether they have Chen Mu's influence or not, actually have a very clear difference in their perception of foreign countries, which is the difference between you and me.

Like Baye and others, they are very aware of the difference between countries, but Wang Rulong doesn't know, or knows but doesn't feel the difference. There is only one imperial court in this world, called China or Tianchao, and the current name of the country is Ming. The name is Longqing, and the others are collectively referred to as Siyi, or foreign fans.

You tell him about the daimyo system of the shogunate government, but he doesn't understand.

He felt that in a place as big as Hirado Island, the samurai master living in the city should be called the magistrate, and the seventh-rank official should wear a green robe and a black gauze hat, and there must be two deputies beside him, one called the county magistrate and the other called the master.

Nothing else counts, wrong!
Chen Bazhi didn't care about Wang Rulong's nonsense, but now that he was told by Wang Rulong, he also felt uncomfortable-I drove away the enemy and saved your life, you should come out to see me, right?You haven't come after waiting for three days, what are you doing in the small attic?
"I know what Wang Shenjiang means, but it is difficult and unnecessary to attack this city." Chen Bazhi said as he walked Wang Rulong, and ordered to the left and right: "Take out the collected weapons."

Following Chen Bazhi's order, a row of weapons were picked out of the mountains of war profits. Chen Bazhi introduced to Wang Rulong: "They use this most, the bamboo spear, the spear is five feet to ten feet long, and the spear tip is very long. There are a few wooden branches tied to one foot, I think the intention is not to sink deeply, and it is easy to insert and pull out, and it should be used for temporary conscripts of farmers and soldiers."

"There are more peasants and soldiers but few sergeants. The peasants and soldiers wear the same armor as the Japanese pirates. There are all kinds of armor, but most of them have plasters." Afraid that Wang Rulong would not understand, Chen Bazhi waved his hands on his chest and abdomen, pointing to other types of guns and said: There are also many gun heads, they have long blades, which can be used for both stabbing and picking, and there is a section of bladeless iron rod behind the gun head, which is complicated and practical with wooden wedges and mortise and tenon joints."

"There are still a few horses. We don't have any horses. I gave those horses to the messengers. I don't think General Wang Can look down on them if they keep them." Chen Bazhi looked at Wang Rulong's burly figure, and guessed that he could get on the horse by spreading his legs, and Let him, a burly man in his fifties who clamors to wear heavy armor and hold a long knife, ride a Japanese horse... Chen Bazhi shook his head and said, "It's too cruel to you and horses."

In fact, after landing in Hirado, Chen Bazhi has always wanted to go back. If he hadn't heard that Nizi's family had a mine, he really felt that President Qi's father was out of his mind.

Even if Qi Zhengyan and Matsuura Takanobu were to switch positions, Matsuura Takanobu would probably be happier. He felt that the food of the biggest samurai master in Kusano Castle might not be as nourishing as Wang Rulong's days when he was a prison bully in Guangzhou Mansion a few years ago.

My brain was kicked by a donkey before I thought of becoming a soldier.

Looking at these weapons, Wang Rulong was unmoved. He glanced at Caoye City and said, "Shoot it down. This county magistrate is not a thing. The people can't even eat rice. They eat it mixed with radishes. If you shoot it down, ask Chen Shuai for a county magistrate." Ling, when I came here, I heard that the imperial court was going to send some Jinshi to Nanyang, and no one would be sent to manage it."

Wang Rulong became more energetic as he talked, and said: "When the time comes for Nine Islands to set up a government, there will be Chen Shuai who wants a military port, and county officials from all over the place will collect taxes and plan military rations. If you march all the way to the east, you will be able to obtain silver mountains."

Before coming here, Chen Mu wrote a special letter, informing him of his strategic intentions, using trade and a small amount of support to control the daimyo to obtain Yinshan, and also attached a very rough map of Kansai.

But Wang Rulong obviously didn't remember any trade or support, he just remembered the result and won the silver mountain.

The process of obtaining Yinshan is also extremely simplified in his mind - hit the past.

I have to say that this suits Chen Bazhi's appetite. The battle with Naoshima Naomi made him aware of the gap in combat power between the enemy and us, and made him inclined to directly push the front line to Iwami Yinshan. Horizontal looks much easier.

But the sequelae are even bigger, the key is that his father didn't mean that, so it doesn't work.

"hold on."

There is no need for him to wait, after waiting for three days, especially seeing the soldiers and horses of the Ming army on the island, Matsuura Takanobu couldn't sit still, and sent his cronies to the camp to make contact, bringing his own gifts and thanks, and came to inquire about the Ming army. Landing on the island meant that after hearing that Chen Bazhi needed a port and prepared to retaliate against the Longzhaosi family for detaining merchants, he did not hesitate to assign the five islands to the Ming army in exchange for offensive and defensive assistance in the next battle.

"The five islands are bigger than Hirado, and there is a big port that Wang Zhi went to build on it. There is a problem. There are many Japanese pirates on the island."

But is this a problem?

Chen Bazhi sent a letter to Li Dan, asking the righteous brother to take Shi He to hunt down the Japanese pirates on the island. At the same time, all the troops broke out and boarded the ship.
