In the end, Zhengliang used ten taels of gold a year and the fields of the three antis as a home, and finally hired Andel as the iron cannon general of the Luo family.

After hearing that Masato offered such a generous treatment and that there was still a battle to be fought, Andel did not hesitate to sell his soul to Masa. He was originally a calm on the outside but fanatical on the inside, especially after inheriting the unique aristocratic temperament of Europe, he was especially keen to make achievements on the battlefield to reflect his own value, and Zhu Qinfeng's plan was too illusory for him, and he could not see any hope in front of the powerful Spaniards. However, Masara painted another tempting blueprint for him, and it gave him hope, so he became a staunch follower of Masa.

"What? Are you really going to do this? On the second day, after knowing Andre's decision, Zhu Qinfeng said in surprise.

After receiving an affirmative reply from Andrel, Zhu Qinfeng didn't say anything, but gave the other party a big hug to show respect for the other party's decision. Compared with the free and easy relationship between men, the relationship between women is much more entangled. After learning of Andre's decision, Lilou was very sad for a while, because Ander's departure meant that her good sister Angel, whom she had met so easily, would also leave. You must know that in the vast sea, it is rare to find a sister who can confide in her heart, and now this pair of sisters is about to separate. All the people on the boat did not bother the two ladies with interest, but left them enough space to spend the rest of their time together.

"What? You're going to take three more arquebuses? Upon learning that Andel wanted to take three arquebuses and some gunpowder from the warehouse, Zhu Qinfeng shouted.

"Your Excellency Masashi is already your employer, right? Quite a few words that are good. Just let that guy pay" After the surprise was finished, Zhu Qinfeng, this guy, suddenly turned into a treacherous businessman again, and said to Andel with a smile. The latter had no choice but to tell Masato the news.

"Treacherous fellow!" Zhengliang had no choice but to mutter to himself, and at the same time began to negotiate with Zhu Qinfeng, who suddenly turned into a "profiteer".

The most rear. In Zhu Qinfeng's smug laughter, Zhengliang paid fifty taels of gold with a painful expression, and finally got three arquebuses that he had never dreamed of. Of the three arquebuses, one will be used as a weapon for Ander, one will be used for research in the forthcoming firearms workshop, and the last will be a special weapon for Masayo.

After returning to the room that Zhu Qinfeng had arranged for Zhengliang on the big ship, Zhengliang smiled while stroking the newly obtained arquebus. Earned. This time it really earned. You must know that more than two years later, in order to get those arquebuses, the guy from Tanegashima paid thousands of taels of gold. Compared with their future efforts, Zhengliang really earned it this time.

While snickering to himself. Masarashi also remembered his original plan for the development of firearms. According to historical records, arquebuses began to be introduced to Warring States Japan more than two years later, and then more than a year later, after improvement, they were fully promoted.

Calculate according to this time. Zhengliang still has three years to prepare. In the past three years, Zhengliang should pay close attention to the maintenance, research and development, production, improvement and mass production of arquebuses. At the same time, it is necessary to initially establish a secret firearms contingent so that it can become combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Think of it this way. Time is indeed very short.

While Zhengliang was thinking alone in the cabin, Zhu Qinfeng's big ship was finally under the command of two of Zhengliang's subordinates. began to march towards the territory of the Luo family. At the same time, the small boat that Masara Hara, which had been near the big ship, also started behind the big ship.

That's it. The two ships sailed for three days on a calm sea. On this day, Masayo, who was discussing firearms tactics with Andel on the deck, suddenly heard a loud shout from the mast: "I see the land, everyone pay attention, I see a large area of land." ”…,

The loud shouts drew a large number of crew members onto the deck.

"Is it finally back?". Masato thought to himself as he looked in the direction the lookout was pointing. It's been a full month, starting from October 22 of the ninth year of astronomy to go to Mingguo, and now it is November 20 of the ninth year of astronomy, which is about to be a month. I don't know what the situation is in the territory of Lu Dao this month? What about the women in the family?

"Pass the order, let our ships be the first to rush back to the territory, and let the Luo family's sailors come to lead the way," Masarashi said to Kinoshita Masanao beside him. Because he was already familiar with Zhu Qinfeng, during the day, Zhengliang could let one or two of his men go to the big ship to obey the command. In order to let these guys who have never seen the world see it, Masara took turns to let all the retainers who followed him come this time, and today it happened to be Kinoshita Masanao who came.

Kinoshita Masanao, who received the order, immediately went down to make arrangements.

Soon, the small boat that Masarashi had been on quickly crossed the big ship with Yoshida Shigemasa and flew away in the direction of landing. Now Masahiro's side is only Kinoshita Masanao, Liu Le, and the curious little stone.

As the ship continued to advance, Masara soon saw a piece of land. To be precise, it is an island called the Goto Islands, which is now inhabited by some pirates who have a good relationship with the Hirado Matsuura family. I saw that those ships in the waters near the Wudao Islands saw Zhu Qinfeng's big ship, as if they had seen a ghost, and they avoided it one after another, and directly cleared the sea area with a diameter of nearly half a mile for the big ship. It's no wonder that these ships are so panicked, Zhu Qinfeng's big ship is so big, it is like a fortress moving on the sea, which really startles those pirates who have never seen the world. If Boduo's wealthy merchants who often smuggled along the coast of Daming, and even smuggled in Southeast Asia, saw it, it would not be like this, after all, they had seen such a big ship.

Following the sea lane, where the small boats that had left in a panic gave way, the big ships continued on their way. Eventually, you will enter the Genkai Beach along the vast sea channel between Nigami Island and Hirado Port. Mukaijima in front is visible to the naked eye.

Finally home?

When Masarashi left a month ago, the area of Genkaitan between Mukaijima and Kabe Island, which was still controlled by the Yomiko family, had been brought under the control of the Luo family. In this sea area, without the permission of the Luo family, no boat, including fishing boats, can pass, otherwise they will be attacked by the Luo family's navy. It can be said that after passing Xiangjima, you are stepping on your own territory.

Sure enough, just as Zhengliang was in reverie. Suddenly, a horn sounded in front of him. Then Masara saw the four Seki ships and the thirty Kozao of Ruomo sailing towards the big ship in the shape of a sharp knife.

Seeing that so many ships suddenly appeared in front of them, the sailors who were originally watching the scenery on the big ship immediately became vigilant.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be like this, those who came are the retainers below," Zhengliang hurriedly saluted Zhu Qinfeng, who was standing not far from him.

"Oh?" Zhu Qinfeng obviously didn't expect that Zhengliang, a young lord, still had such strength. I was really surprised. Although these twenty or so ships look very small, they are not even as good as the ships he has encountered pirates before, they are all elephants and are afraid of ants. If so many ships were to rush in at once, it would not be easy to deal with them. In fact, Zhu Qinfeng measured political goodness by the standards of those lords in Europe. Those small lords in Europe, at most, only one or two ships, a hundred or so peasant soldiers, after Zhengliang introduced himself as a lord, Zhu Qinfeng took it for granted that this was the case.

After some analysis, the big ship finally quieted down, and they all looked curiously at those Luo family's sailors. And at this time, the Luo family's sailors finally came to the vicinity of the big ship. …,

I saw that on a ship headed by the gate, there were standing the Luo family general Togo Heiji, the general of the naval army Sun Goro, the Gongfang Commander Muzo Shitada, the close attendant Ming Feng Hidemasa, and the archer Fan Yoshida Shigema, and the other two foreign ministers also saw Wang Hai's acquaintance, it seems that Wang Hai has successfully arrived in his territory with those craftsmen and immigrants. These are all the retainers that can be found in the port, and the rest of the retainers have gone to their stations to stick to their posts according to the requirements of Masayo before his departure.

This time, in order to welcome the head of the family, the Luo family's naval base, except for the two customs ships and twenty-seven Xiaozao that had been led out by Kunatong, all the remaining ships came out.

Of course, Shigemasa Yoshida, who was in charge of delivering the letter, had already arrived at the port half an hour ago, and Togo Heiji, who happened to be patrolling the drying of sea salt near the base, was the first to get the news. He immediately organized personnel to greet Masayo, and at the same time sent a number of messengers to report to the various retainers who were holding their posts in the territory, after all, the lord who had worried them for a month had finally returned.

When the Luo family's naval fleet was about to meet the big ship, Sun Wulang picked up the Luo family's military flag and waved, and the thirty-four ships immediately split into two and swam to both sides of the big ship, guarding the big ship on both sides while leading the way in front.

Seeing such a situation, Zhu Qinfeng on the side couldn't help but glance at Zhengliang. This young lord is really interesting, no, it's getting more and more interesting now.

"Meet Your Highness" When the fleet returned to the dock of the Luo family's house in Banwu Bay, after Masahiro got off the boat and went to the ground, all the retainers who had been waiting there for a long time knelt down and saluted. And Wang Hai, the only one who did not kneel, also bowed to Zhengliang with a smile on his face.

Masara nodded slightly, and then motioned for these retainers to get up. Looking at the retainers led by Togo Heiji, Masahiro couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that this time has indeed worried them.

Still on the deck, Zhu Qinfeng and the others felt Zhengliang's authority in this territory again. And when they saw the neatly built wharf and the floor paved with inferior cement on the yards, they had to look up to Masahiro. At least in Southeast Asia, they have never seen such a flat wharf. It can be seen that this is a lord with considerable strength and financial resources.

"Your Excellency is back!" In addition to the sailors near the wharf, there are also many workshop leaders. The lords, who had disappeared for almost a month, returned, and of course they were there to welcome them.

But when they saw the huge sailing ship, and a few "ghosts" coming down from the ship, it boiled again. White-faced, colored, and curly-haired, isn't this the legendary "ghost"?

So, with the appearance of the lord and the arrival of a huge ship, the news of the presence of several "ghost" people on board immediately began to spread, and it was likely to spread to the rest of the entire territory. (To be continued......) ……，
