Just as Ukita Hideya was reading the letter, on the sea near Ushijima, the "Aurora" was cleaving the waves.

The day after the successful robbery of the camp, Chu Fan sent Amakusa Shiro Shizhen and those Chezhi Dan disciples onto the ship, which was supported by the Kato family.

Loaded onto the ship with the people, there were also 100 Lumi guns, 2 6-pounder cannons and 3,000 taels of silver that Chu Fan gave to Shi Zhen.

Unlike other Chezhi Dan disciples who are like arrows, Shi Zhen is grateful to Dade, but also has more admiration and admiration for Chu Fan, he actually does not want to leave in a hurry, but hopes to learn more knowledge about how to lead troops and how to fight from Chu Fan.

It's a pity that the situation is pressing, and the shogunate's large-scale raid and Chu Fan are also in a hurry to set sail, so there is not much time left for Shi Zhen to learn slowly.

However, Chu Fan still picked up some basic knowledge that could be taught to Shi Zhen as much as possible, including how to transform ordinary people into qualified soldiers with a certain discipline and organization as quickly as possible through queue training and physical training.

As for the essence of PLA, especially the ideological and political work, Chu Fan did not mention it, firstly, the people led by Shi Zhen are all religious fanatics, and there is no need for too much ideological and political education, and secondly, Chu Fan does not want the Chezhidan army to be too strong, if it is strong enough to unify Japan, it will definitely threaten Chu Fan and even the Ming East India Company, which is by no means what Chu Fan wants to see.

Chu Fan's original intention was to split Japan!

Whether it is rescuing Chezhidan, helping Shi Zhen seize the Golden Cross, or teaching basic military knowledge, they are all carried out around this original intention.

Of course, the most important point is to find a way to bring together the two major forces in Japan against the shogunate, Kinoshitamaru and the Kiritan cultists.

That's why Chu Fan revealed such a message to Abe Tadamoto, and even through Abe Tadamoto, to Kinoshitamaru's high-level people: Uniting to fight against the shogunate is the only way to survive!

It is estimated that the leaders of the two families have not yet realized this, after all, the shogunate has not ruled for a long time, and the suppression of them has just begun.

Chu Fan believes that when the shogunate suppresses them more and more, and the space they can toss and turn is getting smaller and smaller, Chu Fan's words will be taken seriously by them today, and at that time, with the financial and material support of Kinoshitamaru, the Kishimidan rebels on the Shimabara Peninsula should be much stronger than in history.

Once the Kirishitan rebels survived the second crusade of the shogunate, it is difficult to say whether Kyushu Island has the surname Tokugawa or not!

The seed has been planted, and what Chu Fan has to do now is to wait patiently for it to take root, sprout, and finally grow into a towering tree.

After dealing with the affairs of the Chezhi Dan disciples, Chu Fan did not delay, and set sail for the west the next day - everything was already ready on the "Dawn", and setting sail was just a matter of leaving.

Now Chu Fan has to face the next headache - his marriage to Yan Ruxue.

Counting up, the little witch has been following Chu Fan for more than a month, and it is reasonable that Chu Fan should give an explanation to her relatives and friends - eloping with Yan Ruxue is certainly exciting, but for Chu Fan, who still wants to mix in the East China Sea, he will definitely not do this.

What's more, the news fed back from Fang Zifang is that Li Guozhu and Lin Sanwa have clearly expressed their welcome to Chu Fan, although the others did not say it explicitly, but Chu Fan is very clear that except for Chen Xinji, it is estimated that most people are in a wait-and-see state.

What to wait and see? It's nothing more than whether you have the courage to go to the pirate's den!

So Chu Fan must go, not to mention anything else, just for the sake of his beloved woman, he can't admit this cowardice!

Not only does he have to go, but Chu Fan also has to go frankly and calmly, only in this way can he pull those uncles who are watching to his side, so that Chen Xinji and his ilk have to pinch their noses and admit this marriage!

But before leaving, Chu Fan had to take care of things clearly: he couldn't go to the pirate's den with a boatload full of copper ingots - let the pirates drool at the big sum of money? It was purely a matter of looking for trouble—so he would rather take the wrong path and unload the copper ingots to Niudao before returning.

Hakuji Island is Li Guozhu's territory, unless Chen Xinji is determined to merge with Li Guozhu, he will never dare to attack Chu Fan on Hakuji Island, so this trip seems to be dangerous, but it is actually quite safe.

In addition, Chu Fan also has a talisman, that is, the fairy grass cigarettes that have made a name for themselves in Japan - these days, when Fang Zifang came, in addition to urging Chu Fan to send his aunt back as soon as possible, he was expressing a meaning in and out of his words, Li Guozhu and they very much hoped to cooperate with Chu Fan on fairy grass cigarettes.

Of course, Chu Fan can guess the subtext of Li Guozhu: Since fairy grass cigarettes can be sold in Japan, they must also be sold in Daming, so it is strange that they are not tempted by such a high-profit thing.

However, Chu Fan will definitely not let the fairy grass cigarettes poison the Central Plains, so how can Li Guozhu's wishes be satisfied?

Looking at the shadow of Niu Island gradually revealed in the line of the sea and sky, Chu Fan leaned on the wooden railing and pondered, and the crisp call behind him woke him up.

"Scoundrel, what are you doing here?"

Dare to call Chu Fan like that, there is only Yan Ruxue alone in the world, and at this moment, the little girl's "villain" is very sweet and greasy, how can there be half a bad guy in it.

Chu Fan immediately became alert, stared at the little girl's smiling little face and asked, "Think about something...... You're not in the house, why are you coming out? It's windy outside, so be careful to catch a cold. ”

Although the two of them fell in love, the little girl's brutal temperament not only did not confiscate, but became more and more responsible, and often took pleasure in rectifying Chu Fan, so Chu Fan was nervous when he heard her tired voice calling - what is this little witch holding back?

"No," having been in love for so long, Yan Ruxue of course saw Chu Fan's vigilance at a glance, and hurriedly cleared his mind, "People don't fix you today, I really want to thank you...... Villain, what happened to the camp of the Japanese country, did you really do it? ”

Of course, Chu Fan wished that the fewer people who knew about such a thing as the camp, the better, and of course because he was afraid that Yan Ruxue would be worried, so even her, most of the people in the Hoshitori Mountain Villa were kept in the dark, but with Yan Ruxue's bursting curiosity, how could she not want to find out what so many mysterious Chu Fan were doing?

Now it seems that I don't know who can't resist the little witch's questioning, but in the end let her know.

"Hmm...... Be! Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Chu Fan simply nodded and admitted it.

"You're here to save the Chezhidans, right?" Yan Ruxue rubbed the corners of her clothes and asked softly, looking pitiful, "Villain, thank you!" Take such a big risk for me......"

"Huh? …… Yes. Chu Fan was caught off guard and responded in a daze.

"Xue'er knows, you did this to please my uncles and uncles," Yan Ruxue's voice became smaller and quieter the more she spoke, and her blushing face was dripping, "Xue'er is so lucky to meet a man who is willing to work hard for herself......"

Only then did Chu Fan react, Yan Ruxue had misunderstood, thinking that he had robbed the camp to curry favor with Li Guo, who was also a member of the Chezhi Dan sect, and let them agree to his marriage to Yan Ruxue.

Silly girl, how can it be so simple!

However, Chu Fan was unwilling to break all this, but took Yan Ruxue's little hand and gently took her into his arms.

The breezy bow of the ship immediately turned into a spring glow.
