The sun shines on the sea, the blue waves ripple, and from time to time there are schools of fish rushing out of the sea. Not far off the coastline, flocks of seabirds are feeding. Obviously, there should be very few people here, so there is such a scene.

However, this vision of natural harmony was eventually broken by a ship.

As long as you have a little discernment, you can see that this ship has been on an absolute route at sea for a long time. Or maybe it was because they saw the shoreline, and someone on the boat shouted, and suddenly, many people ran out of the cabin.

As soon as they saw the land, all of them became excited, or fell to their knees and muttered to themselves, or shouted.

"It's here, it's here, we're finally here!"

"Nine deaths, I didn't expect our lives to be big enough!"

“……”

In addition to being excited, they heard movement behind them, they turned their heads to look, and suddenly shouted respectfully one by one.

"Big boss, we're finally here!"

"We don't have to worry anymore, big boss!"

"Yes, no matter how powerful the imperial court sailor is, it is impossible to chase after him, haha!"

“……”

The big boss in their mouths is the great pirate Liu Xiang.

Hundreds of ships, thousands of men, and in the end, only one ship remained. But at this time, they were obviously very happy. In that case, they can still escape, and they have to admire the big boss. is cunning enough, keep yourself a backhand!

But now they admire the big boss, not because of this, but because of the big boss's quick decision, feeling that no matter hiding in the South Seas, or even the small Western Ocean, it is not safe, and they directly crossed the ocean to the territory of the Spaniards.

Originally, they thought that they would probably die on the sea, but they didn't expect that after all, they would be fateful, and they would see the land alive when they had only heard about this route.

Liu Xiang was also very excited, looking at the coastline in the distance, his heart was suddenly full of pride and ambition, this is not dead, it seems that God still favors him!

He looked around at his subordinates and immediately shouted loudly: "You are all my good brothers Liu Xiang!" We live and die together, and we will share difficulties and blessings in the future! It is impossible for Zheng Yiguan and the dog official to chase after him again, and it is impossible for us to have Liang Xiaozhen's traitor among us! From now on, I, Liu Xiang, will definitely take you to rebuild a new territory here, and in the future, my brothers will follow me Liu Xiang, eat fragrant food, drink spicy food! ”

Hearing this, his men were also excited. Although there are Spaniards here, they are not afraid at all.

The Spaniards could not beat the Dutch; And the huge Dutch fleet was destroyed before their eyes. This experience made them feel that Xiyi was actually just like that.

Another point is that they feel that they can get here alive after escaping from Nanyang and going through nine deaths. They must have the blessing of Mazu, and they have such a way of luck, are they afraid that they will not be able to stand here?

Thinking so, they all roared.

"That's right, with the big bosses, eat fragrant, drink spicy!"

"Share the blessings and hardships, and never be a traitor!"

“……”

From now on, there is no need to worry about the pursuit of the imperial court, as long as you deal with a small number of Spaniards, the future is bright!

However, they don't know Emperor Chongzhen's plans, otherwise they will all despair! Of course, just because they don't know now doesn't mean they won't know in the future. At this time, they can be happier every day!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen naturally did not know that Liu Xiang did not sink to the bottom of the sea during the battle in Manila Bay, but went out and ran to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. At this time, he was patrolling the chat group to see the situation reported from all over the country.

The latest military system reform began with the million-dollar border army on the nine sides. This military system innovation, even if it encounters difficulties or is difficult to explain, can be correctly explained from the imperial court in real time through the chat group, and it is impossible to complete it in a moment and a half. Emperor Chongzhen estimated that it would not be until at least next year.

One thing, he actually didn't expect that several famous generals in the Beijing camp in later generations would put forward the idea of earning military merits. In this regard, he supported it, which was originally the purpose of his reward for knighthood.

What surprised him the most was that even Li Dingguo's little kid wanted to go to war. However, his experience in the military does not match his age. The training of him in the past few years has made him far superior to ordinary generals.

It's also funny to think about it, throwing Zheng Chenggong away with Li Dingguo, these two bigwigs in history have now both changed their own fate. Zheng Chenggong admired Li Dingguo, and now that he is right, Li Dingguo thinks everything is right.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh again. He listened to the factory guard's report, saying that Zheng Zhilong was awarded the title of Nanyang Bo, and he was originally happy to go to see his son. The title is already there, but the jinshi is not, and he is counting on his son to be able to take the jinshi exam. As a result, he didn't expect his son to contradict him, saying that he wanted to learn like Li Dingguo, and the boy was determined to go to war and protect the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing that Zheng Zhilong was annoyed for a day, he also figured it out. instigated Zheng Chenggong to follow his path in the future and report to the navy. After all, most of the navy are his subordinates, and he has the most connections. As a result, Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong hid under a peach tree, clapped their hands and swore an oath, saying that one should be the governor of the army and the other should be the governor of the navy.

When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he felt funny. People are small and big, but it's good to have ambition, whether you can be the governor or not depends on whether you can make enough contributions!

He was thinking like this, when a private chat suddenly came, and when he looked at it, it was Qian Fugui's regular report.

On the side of the Wa Kingdom, Emperor Chongzhen has naturally been paying attention. Today's Wa Kingdom is becoming more and more chaotic.

The army of the Tokugawa shogunate, which was almost three feet deep on the island of Kyushu and could not gather enough food, finally did not take all the castles on the island of Kyushu, and simply withdrew to Honshu before the cold Siberian wind arrived.

Despite this, the coalition forces on the island of Kyushu are not having a good time. The coalition forces that remained behind, mainly Catholic troops. They were besieged in the city for months, and there was barely much food left. Finally, the Tokugawa shogunate's army couldn't hold out and retreated, only to find that everything that could be eaten outside the city had been eaten by the Tokugawa shogunate's army. At this time, I missed the agricultural time, and it is clear that if I only stay in Kyushu, it is estimated that most people will not survive this winter.

On the island of Honshu, the situation is better. The main force of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is here, and its combat effectiveness is indeed not comparable to the same number of short Japanese people. After the stalemate of the main forces, both sides sent troops to attack the rear of the other side. On the side of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Azig and Haoge all led the army to plunder the Japanese people, doing what they used to do in Liaodong.

In addition, the Catholic army also sent people behind enemy lines to spread rumors and encourage the Japanese people in the state to rebel. At the same time, they also followed the Azig and Haug armies as traitors. After the Manchu remnants had sacked once, they went to pick up the drain again.

At this time, it can be said that the southern part of Honshu, that is, the area south of Osaka Castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was basically in ruins due to the war between the two sides. However, major cities such as Osaka were still in the hands of the Tokugawa shogunate.

"Your Majesty, Dolgon has already led his troops to Hiroshima." Qian Fugui said in a private chat, "After Hauge learns the news, he will also withdraw his troops back to Hiroshima." ”

When the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty first invaded Honshu Island, they caught the Tokugawa Shogunate army by surprise and captured Hiroshima as the base camp of Honshu Island. In the previous days, the main force went straight to Ishimi Silver Mountain, and Hiroshima became a storage point for the grain and grass materials of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, including the materials plundered by Haoge and Azig and others.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately guessed that after such a long time, Dolgon must be dead set on the Spaniards, so the battle for Iwami Silver Mountain was not so important. On the side of Iwami Ginzan, the Tokugawa shogunate hoarded heavy troops and made a state of strict defense. For the siege, it is the shortcomings of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Dolgon obviously wants to maintain his strength and does not want to be hard to wear.

It is also said that the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are actually only 10,000 people in the Wa Kingdom. Left a little on the island of Kyushu, Duoduo still had 3,000 men and horses trapped on the side of Shikoku Island, and now on Honshu Island, as soon as the battle line is lengthened, the weakness of the weak forces of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is reflected. If it weren't for the Catholic army, it is estimated that the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not have been able to control so many places.

But relatively speaking, although the population of the Manchus was larger than it is now, they had occupied the entire Liaodong before, and this place was much larger than the current territory of the Wa state. Emperor Chongzhen had reason to believe that Dolgon should be able to solve this problem.

But now that he secretly supported Hauge and contained Dorgon's power, after thinking about it, he explained to Qian Fugui: "You remind Hauge about the limited number of troops, you can suggest that Hauge bring it up and organize the Wa people into the Eight Banners of the Wa People and fight for them." ”

If this is not done, after the battle line is lengthened, the overall strength of the Tokugawa shogunate will still be reflected, and the balance of war is likely to tilt in favor of the Tokugawa shogunate. If it were possible, Emperor Chongzhen's most desired situation was that the strength of the allied forces of the Manchu remnants and the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate army was about 64 kai, and it was best to destroy the Tokugawa shogunate, and the strength of the Manchu remnants was also about the same. and then through Qian Fugui to instigate Haoge to seize power, so that the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will fight among themselves again.

If such a situation occurs, then it will be the easiest for the Ming Dynasty to take the Wa Kingdom.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen did not respond to Qian Fugui's private chat, but began to gather relevant courtiers again to see how to help the Manchu remnants, to be precise, to help Haoge.

At the same time, in a dilapidated mountain temple less than fifty miles away from Kobe, there were many figures, and suddenly, a horse flew from a distance and quickly entered the mountain temple. Judging from their figures, they are obviously widows.

As soon as the knight entered the temple, he heard an angry "goga" sound from the temple, and the sound of something as if it had been knocked to the ground. Faintly, a voice came out. The masked men who were guarding outside all turned their heads to look, but no one spoke.

Inside the mountain temple, there are also masked people, but the leader is about forty or fifty years old, but he is not masked, he is angry, muttering.

This person is Miyamoto Musashi, who was pinned on by Tokugawa Iemitsu and tried to turn things around by him! He was a famous art of war in the history of the Japanese Kingdom, and he was also a famous swordsman in later generations! Regarding his story, there have been many movies and TV series in the later Wa Kingdom, and even a game company has developed him to specialize in cutting shooting mage!

At this time, Miyamoto Musashi was also very irritable when he had not completed the task assigned by Tokugawa Iemitsu for a long time, even if he kept emphasizing that he could not be swayed by emotions, but at this time, he was still very angry.

Because, after he received a strict order from Tokugawa Iemitsu, he led his apprentices to start acting. His goal, naturally, was set on the Manchu Emperor Dolgon at the beginning. However, with Dolgon's well-guarded side, he didn't have any chance at all.

So, he took his apprentices and wanted to kill the second most important person of the Manchu Dynasty, that is, the emperor's nephew Haoge. But what he didn't expect was that Hauge had to guard against the Dorgon brothers against him, so his protection was also very tight, and he had no chance to attack at all.

After Miyamoto Musashi heard these news, it had been so long since the mission assigned by Tokugawa Iemitsu that even he was impatient. In desperation, he set his sights on Azig, who was also leading an invasion of the rear of the Tokugawa shogunate. But, unfortunately, he still didn't find the opportunity. Hearing this, he finally lost his temper.

Soon, however, another horse came galloping up and told him a piece of news.

This news calmed down the furious Miyamoto Musashi, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Umegawa Maruko! ”

A crisp and pleasant voice immediately agreed, and a slender masked man immediately knelt in front of Miyamoto Musashi.

"Although Umegawa Shangyi committed suicide, whether your family will let it go depends on your performance. Do you understand? Miyamoto Musashi asked with a blank face.

This Umegawa Maruko did not hesitate at all, and immediately said "Hi" firmly and forcefully.

Seeing that he didn't have any hesitation, Miyamoto Musashi was quite satisfied. So, after some explanation, these people in this dilapidated mountain temple quickly left and disappeared into the distance.

About twenty miles away from here, there was a Japanese town, although it was a little remote, but after all, it was found by the Japanese traitors with Jianlu, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the Jianlu roared and swept through the town, just as they had done in Liaodong, in the land of Gyeonggi, and in other parts of the Wa country, and began to burn and loot.

However, in one of the best houses in town, Jianyu clearly met with strong resistance. Even with Jianyu's strength, he was killed by several Japanese guards in one of the courtyards. When the other Jianyu saw this, they were even more excited, and immediately surrounded the place and strengthened the offensive, because according to their experience, there should be big fish here.
