"Da Lang!"

Looking at Xiao Tian, who was in tears and dusty, Father-in-law Wei was very moved, and it was difficult to suppress the turmoil in his heart, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Tian's hands, and said with great emotion: "Da Lang, you have worked hard." ”

"Loyalty!"

Xiao Tian raised his right arm excitedly, as a retainer, he was able to get a word of hard work from the lord, that is really willing to let him die now.

"Good, good..."

My father-in-law was happy.

In fact, Oda is not Oro, but Taro, whose full name is Taro Oda. However, because his shape is very similar to Da Lang, Wei Gonggong ignored whether it was too big or not, and over time, Xiao Tian also accepted the name "Da Lang" from the head of the family.

Also returning with Xiao Tian were Tao Jie and Zhang An. These two were originally the ministers of Western priests, and were later rescued by Wei Gonggong in Yangzhou, and then because the two were familiar with maritime affairs, Wei Gonggong gave the two of them eight grades, and asked him to accompany Xiao Tian to Japan to recruit Yan Siqi.

"The villain Zhang An (Tao Jie) has seen Gonggong Wei!"

Tao and Zhang stepped forward to salute, and only then did Gonggong Wei notice that there was another person in the room. The man looked young, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed a bit like the Japanese ronin of later generations, but he was missing an ear, but there was a faint fierceness in his eyes.

The father-in-law sat down slowly, and Mosuo held the jade wrench on his thumb. He doesn't need to ask, the other party will report to him.

Maybe it was because he saw the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty for the first time, the young man was a little restrained, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he looked at Tao Jie and Zhang An around him with encouraging eyes, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said: "The villain Chen Xinji gave the admiral eunuch Wei Gonggong a salute!" ”

Father-in-law Wei snorted slightly, and said in his heart that this guy was not Japanese, but Han. He looked at this Chen Xinji, and that Chen Xinji was also secretly looking at him.

"Father-in-law, this person is Yan Siqi's sworn brother, after I went to Japan with Lord Oda, I didn't find Yan Siqi at first, and I almost asked the Japanese to be exterminated as pirates, but fortunately my father-in-law blessed him, so he escaped from death, and then finally found that Yan Siqi..."

Tao Jie was articulate, and roughly explained the process of finding Yan Siqi, and the process was thrilling and dangerous, but fortunately, they finally connected with Yan Siqi.

After listening to what Tao Jie said, his father-in-law looked at Chen Xinji and asked him, "Can you represent Yan Siqi?" ”

Chen Xinji nodded.

The father-in-law smiled: "Do you know why our family sent someone to find your sworn brother?" ”

"The villain doesn't know." Chen Xinji shook his head.

"Because, our family admires him."

Gonggong Wei got up with a smile and said with his hand, "Not only Yan Siqi, but also you, and your gang are begging for a living overseas, you are all worthy of our family's admiration!" ...”

"I'm just a pirate who is fighting for his life overseas and licking blood from the knife's edge, and I don't dare to be a father-in-law and admire." Chen Xinji only said that this eunuch was falsely polite to himself.

Grandpa Wei waved his hand and said, "What pirates?" In the eyes of others, you are thieves, but in the eyes of our family, you are my people! ”

These words made Chen Xinji's heart tremble.

"You people, don't be presumptuous, you are not thieves, you are heroes, you are the heroes of my Ming Dynasty... It's not easy for you, when you were a teenager, you left your hometown to beg for a living, no matter how good it is outside, it's not home, and we understand the taste of home... But don't worry, as long as you are willing to be recruited by the imperial court, our family will guarantee that you can return to your hometown and return to your hometown as an upright citizen of the Ming Dynasty. ”

This is absolutely guaranteed by Father-in-law Wei, and can definitely be done. He is an old man, and he is a meritocrat. Just like the emperor employs people, only money is lifted.

Don't underestimate the identity of this Ming people, because of conservative and dogmatic thinking, the Ming Dynasty's response policy to the coastal people going to sea for maritime affairs has always been wrong, and it gave up the good maritime situation in vain, making the Japanese plague poison for nearly a hundred years.

Many so-called Japanese pirates just want to be recognized by the imperial court, and they even want to dedicate everything they have to the imperial court, but in the end, what they get is the indifference and hatred of the imperial court again and again. The murder of Wang Zhi, the owner of the Wufeng ship, is the worst influence of this dogmatism.

Because of the Japanese Invaders, Japan did not obtain a trade license from the Ming Dynasty. But the Japanese, who were so poor that they lacked everything, had to buy everything, so they could only do smuggling. The Han people who are mixed in Japan are basically engaged in this kind of illegal business, so they are thieves in the eyes of the imperial court.

Although there is money to be made in the illegal business, the reputation is not good after all, and those who generally do this thing basically have committed crimes in China and can't get along. No matter how much money you make and how high your status is, but you don't even have a legal identity in your motherland, it's worthless. The taste of having a home is a deep trauma for Chinese of any status.

This trauma is not only Yan Siqi, but Chen Xinji, but the pain in the hearts of every foreigner.

Prescribe the right medicine, if Father-in-law Wei wants to win over this gang of Han people who lick blood at the knife edge outside, he has to give targeted medicine.

Acknowledging their identity as the people of the Ming Dynasty is the basis for cooperation between the two sides.

Gonggong Wei doesn't know much about the founding saint king in history, but he knows one thing clearly, this person is still a Han in his bones, a Ming citizen who wants to puff up his chest and live proudly.

That's enough.

Just as the father-in-law thought, Chen Xinji and the others regarded Yan Siqi as their eldest brother, also because they believed that this person could lead them to fight for their legal identity and no longer be regarded as thieves by the government and people of the motherland.

For the sake of this ideal, they are willing to shed their blood on their heads, just as they said in their vows: life is different, death must be at the same time.

Although Yan Siqi's current power is not as good as that of Jiabidan Li Dan, he also has thousands of people under his command. There is good news that the Catholic Shogunate Movement is taking place in Japan, and the Japanese who participated in this Shogunate Movement took the initiative to contact Yan Siqi and invite them to join the rebel army and overthrow the shogunate rule.

"You bring a message to Yan Siqi for our family, the court has never given up on you, and it has never said that you are not His Majesty's people. If Japan changes dynasties and is ruled by our Han Chinese, the imperial court will definitely change its attitude towards trade with Japan. The maritime merchants involved in this matter are no longer rebellious, let alone pirates, but heroes of the imperial court, who want to be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister. ”

Armed intervention in Japan's movement to bring down the curtain and establish an imperial paradise was decided in one word.

Chen Jinji said that they had promised the Japanese rebels that they had made careful preparations and mobilized all the troops they could mobilize to plan an uprising on August 15 to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate in one fell swoop and establish the first Han regime in Japanese history.

"As long as my father-in-law can fully support him, we will erect the banner of righteousness in Japan, overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, and pay homage to the Ming Dynasty forever!"
