Chapter 417 Ambiguity
The seventh year of Longqing was also the fourth year of Yuangui in Japan.

Qi Zhengyan, who went to Kyoto to look for Yamanaka Yukimori, was in vain, because he was recommended by Akechi Mitsuhide to join Oda Nobunaga's tent, and in the summer he led [-] troops into Inaba country, and persuaded Yamana Toyo, who ruled most of Inaba country, to assist Niko Home rejuvenation.

Although Qi Zhengyan did not find the right owner, Chen Bazhi moved faster. He led the fleet to Oki Island, which is the base camp of Tango Navy.

When the Tango navy was in emptiness, Nasa Nipponsuke, who had previously revived Niko's house with Yamanaka Yukimori, surrendered after the failure of the revival, and the second son of Mori Motozu, Yoshikawa Motoharu, was left behind on the island by another leader, Saburo Sasaki.

Facing the Ming army warship roaring in the sea fog, Saburo Sasaki hardly resisted. After President Qi went to explain his purpose in a small boat, he directly surrendered and took the Ming army to Yinqi Island.

The enemy who has just surrendered and fought for many years is at a time when his heart is not going well. At this time, he is attacked by others. It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he can't defeat him and surrender, it will be easy.

The key point is that he learned that Chen Bazhi had no intention of capturing their land, and came here only because he "admired the loyalty of Xingsheng Zaixing Nizi's family in the mountains", and "temporarily" used Yinqi Island as a garrison camp.

What is the real reason?

Yinqi Island is only a hundred miles away by sea from Iwami Country's Shanbuki Castle, and after arriving at Shanbuki Castle, the Silver Mountain is within easy reach. This is the main purpose of Chen Bazhi's move.

The secondary purpose is not to rejuvenate Nizi's family. Although Chen Mu did not give Chen Bazhi an order for further actions against Japan, Magui's landing on Kuwu Island also misunderstood him... Ming people in this era, whether Chen Bazhi or Gao Gong, are not What's the point of the Kuwu Island garrison who knows that Chen Mu doesn't take a shit.

Gao Gong thinks this move is taking off his pants and farting, but Chen Bazhi will not be so disrespectful, he thinks that the adoptive father's move must have a deep meaning.

And the deep meaning in Chen Bazhi's conjecture has been revealed on the map of the army - cut off the head and tail, and capture Japan!

Five islands and even Kyushu Island are in the west of Japan; Kuwu Island and Ezo, which are connected to the south, are in the east of Japan.

What other plans can there be for stationing troops on these two big islands, not to mention stationing troops on Kuwu Island to stockpile food. Isn't that just a west army and an east army all the way? Sweeping through the villages and finally gathering in Kyoto?

Three thousand miles from north to south, the battle line is too long.

Chen Bazhi had a better solution. He rebelled against the border warriors in Kyushu and Ezo, and led his army to run over Oda Nobunaga in Kinki, Kyoto, and only three hundred miles from Izumo to Yamashiro and Omi.

In the local fashion, it is called Shangluo.

Ever since Chen Bazhi landed in Japan, he has never understood where this sense of accomplishment comes from—from Tianjin Wei to Beijing, is he so excited?
"General Chen, the leader would like to ask, is there a [-]% chance of winning for Nizi's family this time?"

At the banquet, the Japanese pirate who was the translator of Sasaki Saburo asked this sentence, and said in a very cautious tone: "This is an enemy of the Maori family."

Chen Bazhi nodded slightly to the Japanese pirates, then looked at Sasaki Saburo with a sigh of relief, and said: "The Mori clan is very powerful, controlling An Yi, Izumo, Ishimi, Zhou Fang, Nagato, Iyo, Bizen, Bichu, and Bigo Waiting for more than ten countries, there are Japan's number one navy and Japan's number one daimyo, it is very difficult to fight against them."

Saburo Sasaki nodded his head, it seems that this 'Ming Army' had worked hard before it arrived.

In fact, he was very puzzled about Chen Bazhi's origin. Although he had already heard that the Matsuura family recaptured their homeland with the help of the Ming army, and even directly destroyed the Longzhaosi family, but until he saw this Ming army, he did not even know about Kyushu. Everyone outside the island thought that the rumored Ming army was nothing more than Japanese pirates from Ming Dynasty.

There is no way, the Matsuura family has a criminal record in this regard, they themselves have the name of the Japanese pirates, and they have a close relationship with the owner of the Wufeng ship, so it is not surprising to hire a group of Japanese pirates.

Even if he saw the huge Ming army with his own eyes, Sasaki didn't think that this group of people was really the Ming army, but rather a group of elite Ming rogues. Live together with pirates?

"The chances of winning are more than [-]%. If things go well at first, it will not be a problem for Nizi's family to rise again."

Chen Bazhi spoke convincingly, and he went on to say: "My banner army did not come to Japan to attack the city, so I will not give you much help. You are still fighting against Maori, but apart from the war, Chen can provide the Nizi family with an advantage. "

Ming soldiers can die in the battle to defend their own Yinshan, but it would be too cheap to die in the battle for others to retake their homeland.

"what?"

"It's impossible!"

The leaders of the Tango water army changed their colors when they heard the Japanese translator repeating Chen Bazhi's words in embarrassment. If they hadn't seen the elite banner troops of the Ming army and the Liaodong iron cavalry, they would not even have a [-]% chance of winning. Now Chen Bazhi said that they would not participate in the war , how could this possibly win.

Chen Bazhi could sit still, and said slowly: "Maoli is fighting against Oda in the east, and Dayou in the west. How many troops can he have to attack you? As long as he wins at the beginning and regains the homeland of Nizi's family, isn't it easy to defend the city? ?”

Long before Chen Bazhi arrived on Yinqi Island, the Matsuura family and the Otomo family had already formed an alliance. A large number of Japanese pirates would be used as backup to join the battle with the Maoris. The line is under great pressure.

But Chen Bazhi would not tell these people on Yinqi Island about this. In his past war career, he compared the upcoming wars and found similar battles easily. Heyuan Wengyuan put down Li Yayuan's battle.

The Maori family was Li Yayuan, and Zhitian, Nizi, Dayou, etc. were Wu Guifang at that time.

Although Chen Bazhi was still young at that time, he still remembered the situation. Li Yayuan had a large army, and the official army also had a large army. The elite will decide the outcome of the war.

Chen Bazhi's position for himself was that the Qi family army led by Wang Rulong back then was the final word.

He squinted his eyes and smiled, and said: "Even if the battle is tight, the Nizi family can hire Chen to fight, but this matter cannot be decided by the leader, we have to wait until we see the head of the Nizi family."

Sasaki Saburo nodded in response, and looked into the distance with blank eyes. This is indeed not something he can decide.

At this moment, he only hoped that Yamanaka Yukimori would lead his army back to Izumo as soon as possible.

Just as Chen Bazhi looked at the countless descendants of the Ming people who had been captured by Japanese pirates on Yinqi Island, and wondered whether he should adopt a foster son, Qi Zhengyan finally found Xingsheng in the mountains hundreds of miles away in Inaba country, and he and Nizi Katsuhisa was walking through the dense forest of Tottori Castle.

They were getting closer and closer to Izumo.
