Three fish oil candles creeped and burned, and the leaping flames illuminated the cavern.

This is a very simple earth cave, but there are two wooden benches in this earth cave, one of which is low.

Sitting on the wooden bench on the left was a young man dressed in a azure forged robe, with extremely handsome eyebrows and eyes, who was frowning and listening.

And sitting opposite him was a Japanese man who was about the same age as him, but more beautiful-looking, and he was already in tears at the moment.

Sitting cross-legged, apart from the interpreter with a row of beards on his lips, were a few sixteen or seventeen-year-old children who were crying profusely.

"It turns out that although Genk is a Protestant priest, he is secretly the leader of the Chezhidan religion."

After listening to Amakusa Shiro's description, Chu Fan finally understood this inscrutable secret, and somewhat understood why Amakusa Shiro Shiro Shizhen was able to dominate the group at a young age in history - as soon as Henk died, Shi Zhen would be regarded as his rightful heir.

This earthen cave is part of the secret passage from the Xingtori Pavilion to the outside world, and the secret passage was discovered by Yan Ruxue on the day Chu Fan tested the ballista.

It is precisely because of this secret passage that Chu Fan will tell Chen Shangren that he just let those ashigaru people in and let them search - the entrance to the secret passage is in the stable, and there is a heavy stone horse feed trough on it, which is not counting, even if the horse feed trough is removed, the flap at the entrance is also stained with loess, and after it is closed, it is like a natural soil platform, and it cannot be found without hitting it hard.

So when Chu Fan opened the secret passage for the first time, he admired the little witch very much-she was so good at tossing that she could find such a secret place.

"Hay!"

Hearing Chu Fan's muttering, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen nodded and said, "The fact that Father Henk is the leader is only known to the leaders of the Chezhi Dan sect in various places...... Even their lieutenants didn't know, let alone the monks and believers below them...... I traveled from place to place, and I used my identity as a doctor. ”

“…… So, most of the leaders gathered in Nagasaki this time, and most of them will be wiped out? Chu Fan asked with a deep groan.

"It's all Ah Ping's traitor! …… No, he should not be a traitor, but a spy sent by the shogunate...... If he hadn't been in possession of a letter from the Arima family, Henk's father would definitely not have taken him in, and now that he thinks about it, most of the letters from the Arima family were forged...... But this guy is so good at acting, and he is extremely pious during the service, who would have thought that he was actually a secret agent? Shi Zhen tried her best to think about it, and finally pursed her lips and shook her head, "Or we are too careless, we haven't even found out about such a big secret agent hiding around us, Lord, please forgive us for our ignorance." ”

Chu Fan didn't have time to listen to his nonsense at the moment-something had already happened, what's the use of regretting it?

The key now is, what should Chu Fan do with this future leader of the rebel army?

Sending him back to the hands of the ashigaru people, Chu Fan would not even think about it-it was so easy to encounter an opportunity for the Japanese to kill each other, Chu Fan wished that the more powerful they killed, the better, how could it be possible for the future leader to die in Nagasaki?

There are not many ways to choose from next, the simplest is to let Shi Zhen and them go out along the secret passage, send them to the coil, and let them return to Shi Zhen's hometown - Amakusa Island, and the future will be like in history, uprising, and then suppressed.

Thinking of this, Chu Fan is not happy, there are not many opportunities to see the Japanese killing each other, and in the future he can only look at the book and sigh, now that he is in this history, he has to add fuel to the Shimabara Rebellion.

How to add it?

Well, I have 500 Lumi guns in my hands, including those five field guns, and I can consider giving some of them to Shi Zhen to make him more powerful when he gets into trouble.

The funds can also be subsidized, and the three or five thousand taels of silver can still be taken by oneself at the moment.

If you want to send these things to Shi Zhen, you have to arrange a boat to help him transport them back to Amakusa Island, and this problem is not a big problem, just let Tsunazaburo help.

But can this alone completely change the future Shimabara Rebellion and make the Japanese fight each other even harder?

Chu Fan thought about it for a long time, but he was really not completely sure.

So what else can help the beautiful girl-like Shiro Amakusa Shiro Shizhen in front of him?

Listening to Shi Zhen's introduction, in fact, the number of Chechi Dan disciples on Kyushu Island and even in the west of Honshu Island is quite large, but because of the lack of a leader who everyone believes in to gather everyone, Henk is almost successful, but after this shogunate's encirclement and suppression, the leaders of various places have been swept away, and Shi Zhen's efforts are probably going to be in vain.

However, even if the Chezhidan disciples in various places did not know that the leader was Genk, they must have known that this leader existed, otherwise Shi Zhen would not have been able to gather so many Chechitan disciples in the future Shimabara Rebellion.

The secret that the leaders of all places are dead, and that Genk is the leader and Shi Zhen is his successor will take a long time to be known and accepted by the Chezhi Dan cultists, and if there is something that can help Shi Zhen prove that he is not the ordinary physician, but the successor of the leader, then the process will be greatly shortened, which means that Shi Zhen may be able to gather more Che Chi Dan disciples to work together.

So, is there such a thing?

After Chu Fan threw this question to Shi Zhen, the latter raised his head and thought for a long time, and his eyes lit up and said, "Yes!" Golden Cross! ”

It took a lot of words for Shi Zhen to make Chu Fan understand why the golden cross of Saemon Yashiro Yoshinomaru could help him prove his identity.

First of all, this golden cross is a holy relic that has been blessed by the Pope, and almost all Chezhitan believers are aware of the existence of this holy relic and its significance.

Secondly, it is also well known that this holy relic was kept by Saemon Yashiro Yoshinomaru, of course, everyone knows about the Nagasaki Uprising on March 15, the uprising failed, and if Yoshinomaru was martyred, he would definitely hand over the holy relic to his most reassuring person for safekeeping, which can also indirectly prove that Shizhen was a member of the core leadership of the uprising.

Besides, when Shi Zhen entered the secret passage of the church, the battle was still going on, who knows if Yoshinomaru was martyred? If Yoshinomaru is still alive and can save him, it will be a more powerful human witness than the Golden Cross - that is a respected old man of Chechidan!

"If Yoshinomaru is captured alive, where should he be held?" After thinking clearly, Chu Fan asked.

"It must be in the Sanjingdae camp in the south of the city," Shi Zhen said without hesitation, "Our faithful who were arrested before were all locked up in the barracks. ”

"How many soldiers are there in the barracks?" Chu Fan asked.

"About one prefecture, about 3,000 people."

"Hiss~~" Chu Fan couldn't help but gasp.

Three thousand! How could you get these guns?
