The secret revelation is called "Outwitting the Thirty-six Generals of Kyushu".

It may be to make it more interesting for the emperor to read, or to be interested in reading line by line, so as to better feel the proud achievements of Gonggong Wei in Fusang, so as to give high recognition and praise, and Gonggong Wei wrote this secret in the vernacular.

The finishing touch of the whole text is in the last paragraph - "Now under Tsuchihara, bow down to Li Dan, Kyoto can go down, Edo can be seen, and the silver mountain can also be seen." ”

Li Dan and other thieves were also sent back with the ship, because they have been in Japan for many years, most of Li Dan's subordinates are dressed as Japanese people, and their hair accessories are very special.

Gonggong Wei believes that even if the emperor doesn't look at these heads, those fathers-in-law in the inner court will definitely praise him Gonggong Wei.

Regarding the killing of Li Dan, Shen Yourong, Shi Dezheng, Jiang Xifeng and other generals had different opinions. They believed that although Li Dan served the shogunate, he was a Han Chinese after all, and he was a strong man on the East Asian sea, and he had a great influence on the various forces on the sea.

Therefore, it would be a pity to kill him, and if he could use his influence to do things for the imperial army, it would make the expedition twice as effective with half the effort. At the very least, it can also recruit a group of sea forces for the imperial army.

Moreover, if the East Asian shipping routes operated by Li Dan can be completely used by the imperial army, the sea trade currently operated by the Special Administrative Region will be expanded several times in a short period of time, and the profits alone will be very considerable.

Gonggong Wei didn't see it that way, and he insisted on killing Li Dan.

"The name of Kapitan is very majestic, and it is also a very influential figure for the Japanese shogunate and maritime power, but it is precisely because of Li Dan's influence that our family can't help but get rid of him... Daming doesn't need another Nurhachi. ”

What Father-in-law Wei said was very straightforward, since Li Dan refused to be wooed by the Xuan Mission, his father-in-law had already abandoned him.

The more influential the person, the more he must get rid of it, otherwise he will not be able to get rid of it in the future.

In essence, Li Dan and Nurhachi are the same, they may have a sense of awe for the Ming Dynasty, but they have no loyalty.

When reverence is broken, ambition arises naturally.

"If one "Jiabidan" falls, there will be thousands of "Jiabidan". ”

Gonggong Wei at the head of the city looked at the sea with his hands in his hands.

Under the city are more than 100 maritime merchants from Tuyuan City, including Han Chinese, Japanese people, and a few Western red-haired devils.

It is a historical and objective fact that when a strong man falls, there will definitely be a new strong man.

Gonggong Wei had no intention of dominating the imperial army on the sea, and what he always hoped was that more people would participate in the maritime industry of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, as long as these maritime merchants show enough sincerity to cooperate with the imperial army, Gonggong Wei will let them each upgrade.

Whether it is a Han people, a Japanese people, or a red-haired devil, as long as they are willing to unite under the banner of the Emperor and Ming of Gonggong Wei, they are the best friends of the imperial army.

In the future, he will also be a part of the emperor.

Whatever you do, there is the first one to eat crabs.

Since ancient times, just as those who dare to make trouble are ruffians and hooligans, those who dare to take risks are outlaws.

Since the beginning of maritime affairs, although Wei Gonggong has repeatedly advocated that the civil forces should take bold steps and bravely go to the ocean, until now it is only those "thieves" in the clothes of maritime merchants on the southeast coast who have tentatively stretched their feet into the sea under the drive of interests, and the scale is small and the scope is small, far from reaching the requirements that Wei Gonggong hopes for without the protection of the imperial army, and the civil forces can also open up territory and act as a pioneer for the emperor.

The reason may be that China's "small peasant" mentality has been at fault for thousands of years, that small wealth means peace, and that clan interests are greater than national interests.

Therefore, it is necessary for a group of people to take the lead in setting an example for the domestic gentry, so that these domestic landlords and powerful people know how short-sighted they are and how rich the outside world is, so that they will have the courage to rush into the depths of the ocean.

Then, these outlaws in Tsuchihara City are the best candidates.

Father-in-law Wei summoned these maritime merchants, and after repeating Shen Yourong's assurances to the other party, the father-in-law asked these maritime merchants to mobilize immediately, send people and money to ships, and set up the second brigade of the Imperial Association Army to contribute to the emperor's great conquest of Japan.

In addition to ensuring that the shipping lanes of these maritime merchants would not be cut off by the imperial army, the father-in-law also promised that they would be able to purchase the goods they needed anywhere on the southeast coast in an open manner, and would not be troubled by the local government, let alone be regarded as pirates.

"After you go back, if you find that there is any local official who dares to underestimate you, you will report our family's name and hand our family's name sticker, if our family does not help you, the imperial army will also help you!"

The father-in-law counted when he spoke, and asked Wei Laojiu to send his bronzing name stickers one by one on the spot. Even if the maritime merchants were skeptical of what Gonggong Wei said, they had to express their willingness to support the imperial court unconditionally in the face of the fact that Li Dan was dead and Tuyuan had changed his surname to Daming.

The Second Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army is a good move announced by the public, and the Second Brigade must be stationed in Tsuchihara Castle, so it is the best surveillance of Shimazu Tadashi and a threat to Kyushu.

In the plan, the 2nd Mixed Brigade will be composed of the maritime forces of Tsuchihara Castle and the army of Yan Siqi, as well as the recruited Japanese.

The father-in-law had already asked Ge Saburo to write a letter to Yan Siqi and let this fallen Han hero come to Tuyuan City for a while. At that time, the father-in-law will entrust the head of Yan Siqi's brigade, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for the other party.

After all, the title of "Dragon and Tiger General" is too empty.

It is certain that the conquest of Japan by the Imperial Army will last for a long time, and given the lack of combat strength of the Imperial Army, the use of a large number of puppet troops is the best option.

In addition to the strategy of buying and publicizing, large-scale co-optation is undoubtedly a good way.

On the same day, a notice was posted at the gates of the city, and this announcement shocked everyone who read it.

Because, in this proclamation issued in the name of the Ming court, it was clearly stated that the Ming court recognized the Japanese samurai class and was willing to recruit samurai as official officers of the Ming court.

This means that a large number of samurai in Japan who have been suppressed due to the "abolition of arms" by the Tokugawa shogunate, and even become ronin, will have a new object of allegiance and a new system.

The words "respecting the emperor and begging for the emperor" and "the emperor's paradise" that appeared in the announcement became the hottest words in the mouths of the residents of Tsuchihara Castle.

After inscribed the glorious Fourth Infantry Regiment with the inscription "The Divine Guardian of Kyushu", Gonggong Wei cordially met with several Japanese Catholics brought back from the "enemy-occupied area" by Hu Guang of the Propaganda Mission.

This time, the identity of the father-in-law is no longer the angel of the Ming Dynasty, but the supreme lord of the Holy See in the Eastern Diocese, the holy purple-clothed archbishop, and the savior of the Japanese believers.
