Chongwen let out a sigh of relief, he really stepped through the iron shoes and found nowhere to go, and it took no effort to get it, and he inadvertently solved all the mysteries of the Mishimaya incident.

At this moment, the truth was revealed. The real leader of the fine work is the Tenzhu monk Badra, and the one who sent the Mishimaya ronin and the samurai is Hatakeyama Mankei, who is a playboy who is good at collecting curiosities, so there is this monk and this bird.

When Bata arrived in Hirado, in order to control the movements in the Mishimaya without revealing himself, he kept the macaw in the Mishimaya. This bird can learn to speak, and it can also fly to the side of Batuo on its own, so that Batuo can know the secrets of the Mishima house without coming forward, and it is safe.

Although all the people in Mishimaya died, Sayuri's words were passed on to the Tenzhu monk through this bird. Knowing that Chongwen was in the mountain pass, Batuo sensed that something was wrong, and immediately bribed the Ashta party in Yamaguchi Castle to assassinate him. He hoped that the alliance between the Tokai Merchant Clan and the Ouchi clan would automatically collapse, and the Hatakeyama clan would get the Izumi Kingdom on the corpses of Ouchi Momori and Takafumi.

Entering the mother.,Kasuga Yamashiro's little bastard has all the tricks.,If it weren't for the chance to encounter the bullet Zaemon.,This mystery will be difficult to unravel.。

Hirado is a shopping mall, Dakang customs are more, sailors worship Mazu Niangniang, and there is only one Buddhist temple in the whole of Hirado, which is Myohoji Temple in Yamanaka Town, just a few streets away from Mishimaya, just under the nose of the flower world.

Chongwen immediately instructed Sayuri to monitor all the monks of Miaofa Temple, especially the Tianzhu monk.

Sayuri asked, "Do you want to arrest someone?"

Chongwen said: "No, keep him for a few days for the time being, and once he arrives at the port to run, arrest him immediately... I want that bird, I want to hear what macaws have to say. ”

Sayuri bowed and replied, "Yes." At this moment, her face was as white as paper.

Wu Zhi worked hard to finally fill the grain ship. When he returned to Hirado, he even brought back more than 80 horses in the Dakang horse boat, and he was treated like a hero at the reunion, and the crazy stewards of the main hall kept throwing copper money at him, and in the years that followed, many merchant group heroes enjoyed such glory.

Jeju Island is the largest horse farm in the country, but unfortunately the good horses produced here have never belonged to the country, they used to belong to the Black Tartars, and now they belong to Dakang. I don't know what means Wu Zhi used, but he actually made so many good horses under the noses of Qi Li and the officials of Dakang Taifu Temple, this is a real war horse that charges into battle.

It's a pity that Wu Zhi's glory only lasted for a stick of incense, and he was angered by Chongwen.

The old pirate's beard trembled, and he scolded: "Mother, you can't fill your head with, I've never seen such a stupid thing, I've never seen such a stupid person, you actually want to get more filthy filth into the group!"

Chongwen wiped a handful of spit on his face, and said quietly: "No way, we have to win, if we lose, we are all finished, we need manpower." ”

Wu Zhi was even more angry, and shouted hysterically: "Nonsense! You're going to kill us all, it's over! I'm more stupid than you, how can I believe a fool." ”

Chongwen laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's not over." ”

Wu Zhi pulled his beard for a while, then slowly calmed down, suppressed his anger and said: "You know what you are doing, you will scare all the servants in the regiment away, and the merchants of the entire country will flee from Hirado." Don't forget, we're still on the ground of other people's people! You're trying to break up the merchant group, we're really going to finish, and I don't agree with you doing this nonsense. ”

Yan Shanlao said with a calm face: "I don't agree either. ”

Chai Demei frowned and said: "Da Wai Hai, there is always a reason for you to do this, I don't believe you are really crazy." ”

Chongwen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's sit down and talk, Mr. Wufeng is so old, how can he eat people as soon as he enters the door, sit down and say, sit down and say." ”

Chai Demei lifted his robe and sat down first, and Yan Shanlao and Wu Zhi also sat down angrily.

Chongwen shouted, "Don't you have anyone to give you tea?" Chongwen took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "The reunion is a place for people to talk, if you are willing to listen to me, you are better than the emperor Lao Er in Nanjing." Mother, that bastard won't allow me to speak, and won't let you speak, aggrieved?"

Wu Zhi said angrily: "Where are you going?" ”

Only then did Chongwen put down the teacup and said slowly: "You said that if the merchant group takes in the filthy man, it will offend all the servants and cause a split, I don't believe it." What is the East China Sea Merchant Regiment, it is a gang of brothers who fight bravely for money, and moral articles and personal feelings are worthless with us. Do we want money because we hate anyone? Maybe you believe it, but I don't believe it. ”

Several group elders listened to Chongwen's cold and ruthless words, and suddenly felt cold, as if a world that had been accustomed to the past was collapsing, and a new, hideous, blood-opening world was unfolding to them.

Chai Demei unconsciously put his hand on the lid of the tea cup and muttered: "The words of going to sea are really... To tell the truth, Hong Dizhen and Zhang Wei's revenge for killing their brother is now sitting on the ship of the East China Sea merchant group together, which is terrifying to think about. ”

Chongwen said lightly: "What unites us is money, silver spent in vain. The only thing that breaks us apart is money, and if we lose money, we will break up. Nothing else, any discrimination, hatred, kindness, gratitude, these messy things, there has never been soil in the business group, if necessary, what does it matter if we pull demons into the group. ”

He sneered and continued: "Those merchants who are not in the group are not fools, they are attached to us not because of filth, but because of our strength. It's very simple, if we win the shogunate, they will also fall to us. If we lose the war, will they support us without the Filthy Crowd? The key is still on the battlefield, and the filthy crowd is the key to our victory. ”

Thieves and merchants like to be simple and direct, and Chongwen likes this method too, which makes even an old thief feel strange. The sea is really wonderful, accustomed to seeing her vastness and ferocity, people are too lazy to hide it, for the creatures struggling on the edge of life and death, Sven and polite are really a luxury, no one likes mother-in-law and endless.

Wu Zhi puffed out his eyes and said, "What can these filthy duo give to the merchant group? We can also get his leather armor in Qili." Expecting them to fight and kill people? That's a fool's dream, the first head will be cut off, and blood will spurt on them, and they will scatter and flee.

They can give us too little, but they have so much to lose. Even if not all the servants leave us, there will always be a loss of support from some of them, can you let Ouchi Zhishi and Zhan Duo discuss in the same house? If you need them, you can give him money and give him things, but if you let them join the group, the gains outweigh the losses, and they can't be drawn. ”

Chongwen said: "I thought it would be worth it. Our boat division is going to invade a country with a population of 10 million, and there are many enemies, if you want to break the strong with the weak, the most important thing is to be well-informed. There are no less than 100,000 people in every corner of the country, and they can provide us with the most needed information, so that we know the enemy's movements well.

In addition to this, there is another layer that is the real reason why I am determined to pull them into the group. They have in their hands what we lack most, without which it is difficult for us to defeat the strong. ”

The three regiment elders asked in unison, "What?"

Chongwen said firmly: "Cow!"

Yan Shanlao looked at Chongwen puzzled, and asked softly, "Do you eat meat?"

Chongwen frowned and said, "Of course not, we need oxen to pull carts." You are familiar with sea raids, but you rarely go far inland, and you have not landed a few thousand men on a large scale. In the past, you robbed a village, enough to eat and drink for several days, and you don't know how important it is for the army to send military supplies.

This attack on the hinterland of the country is not to grab a few coastal towns. We had to land at Sakai Port, drive straight to Kyoto, and then march to Kamakura in the Kanto region, which was a great march of more than 1,000 miles by land, so how would we transport grain?

An army will be unstable if it runs out of food for one day, and the people will be panicked the next day, and it will inevitably collapse after three days of food cut, so there is no need to fight. An army of several thousand people is maintained by plundering the villages and towns of the country where birds don't? There is another layer, we are outnumbered, and the most important military resources are firearms, 20,000 catties, dozens of artillery, how to transport them?

If you think about it, the army eats, drinks, lazars, gongs, drums, tents, and countless baggage, and relies on the shoulders of the merchant soldiers to carry forward? That is impossible, we must have heavy vehicles towed by oxen and horses.

However, there is a lack of large livestock in the country, and a small number of horses are in the hands of samurai, so let's not worry about it. Then there are only cows, and only Fil Duo has cattle in his hands, but that is the livelihood of others, and without cattle, Fil eats and drinks what he wants, which money can't buy. Now, they join the group, donate 320 cows, and there are no more problems... Without these cows, we wouldn't be able to walk thousands of rivers and mountains. ”

These regiment elders were dumbfounded, none of them had the experience of commanding thousands of troops, everything was taken for granted. But Chongwen was the Son of Heaven, he had once arranged grain for hundreds of thousands of troops, and of course he knew that there would be no war without supplies.

Chai Demei stumbled and asked, "That... How did the tens of thousands of troops march and fight?"

Chongwen said: "They are on their own territory, and there is a village and town for ten or twenty miles, and it is very convenient to collect grain and husbands. They also accompanied the army with a large number of public and ashigaru, transporting baggage when marching, and serving as the enemy's front when fighting, the purpose of which was to ensure that the samurai lord was well fed and drunk, and launched a key attack.

In the East China Sea Merchant Regiment, this is impossible, we only have 7,000 people, and each of them should be a warrior, and we have no extra manpower to serve as a husband.

However, don't look at the shogunate army has so many favorable conditions, in fact, their ability to continue marching and fighting is also very limited, it is impossible for them to complete the thousand-mile march, and the first 200 miles is their limit. If we have big livestock and heavy vehicles, long-term combat power will become our advantage and the weight of our victory.

Do you know how important it is to have a lot of filth? The ruler is long, the inch is short, and there is a price to pay for despising anyone. In the eyes of some people, it is not worth mentioning, but for our East China Sea merchant group, they are extremely important. ”

Now everyone understands that Chongwen is far-sighted, and he does have a good reason to join the group. But not everyone is willing to pay the price of accepting the unscrupulous many.

Wu Zhi still shook his head and said, "I can go to the country of Qi Li to get these cows." ”

Chongwen sighed: "I also know that as long as we have money, we can always get big animals, but we don't have time." ”

Yan Shanlao said strangely: "Why is this?"

Chongwen took out a letter from his bosom and put it on the bookcase, pushed it in front of several group elders, and said in a deep voice: "Because our expedition is imminent." ”
