Chapter 576 General Chapter
An old-fashioned shark ship with a high forecastle and poop is docked in Tianjin Port. On board, warriors with shaved hair and the appearance of Japanese men with moon belt hairstyles slowly marched and disembarked. His hair has been shaved but he is wrapped in a Ming hair scarf, and he is straight and restrained as he walks, making it difficult to tell which country he belongs to, which arouses commotion among the people of Tianjin Port.

The Ming army who came to respond solved this problem very well. The elite servants from the Yamen of the Beiyang Military Government, carrying bird guns, took over the port defense from the frightened Dagu households, and recruited Lifu to carry the sharks on the boats and put down Japanese specialties. Lacquer box.

At this time, Li Dan, who was surrounded by several warriors wearing mountain armor, wearing phoenix-winged helmets and holding long knives and short hammers, slowly got off the boat and walked from the trestle to the port on thick wooden planks. .

He has been on the ship for many days. He received the news from Fu Yuan that he was summoned by Chen Mu. From Shi Jian, he took a boat all the way through Wudao and crossed Jeju Mu for supplies, then sailed directly to Tianjin Wei, and then anchored at Tianjin Wei port. After stopping for three full days, they disembarked.

In the Weihe River, Li Dan and his party of more than a hundred people changed to river boats and sailed for more than [-] miles in the river to the Beiyang Army Mansion.

Chen Mu had just returned to Beiyang from the capital. He heard that Li Dan had been waiting on a ship at the port for several days. There was a gap in the military mansion where the gate was built, and a group of Japanese pirates who kept pace with the times followed behind a group of warriors in armor, making him shake his head secretly.

I haven't seen him for a long time. Li Dan's complexion is a little darker, and he looks stronger, but now he is no longer the boy who is a descendant of pirates in his early days. The innate temperament does not show the slightest martial arts attire.

"My son pays homage to his adoptive father, congratulations to his adoptive father for being a knight!"

Facing him a few steps away, Li Dan bowed down first, followed by Wu Bian, and presented a big gift to Chen Muxing in a dignified manner. This is not surprising, but the Japanese warrior-like guys behind him all spoke Chinese properly. Chen Mu was surprised that some people said "meet Dongyang Chenshuai" and some simply said "meet the master".

When Li Dan got up, Chen Mu ordered his subordinates to prepare meals for everyone in the school grounds, and invited Li Dan to accompany him into the barracks. Then he asked: "We all arrived at Tianjin Port, why didn't we get off the ship first, and drifted on the sea for a few days and suffered."

"The adoptive father is not in Tianjin, and the brothers under the boy shaved the Japanese head for the sake of doing things cheaply, for fear of disturbing the people." Li Dan followed Chen Mu into the barracks and looked around, explaining softly, and finally looked around the vast school grounds, took a deep breath, and stepped over the threshold of the barracks , Then he said: "The left and right have been used to wandering these years, and they are not here for a few days."

"Aren't they Japanese?"

Li Dan shook his head with a smile, and said: "I didn't take them to Tianjin for fun. My father-in-law took over Dongyang, and he was responsible for controlling the army. Those who reported the military situation in the battle should be reported by them. It's so important, how can you do it?" Handed over to foreign tribes?"

"They have Jinyi stalls, merchants, pirates, and soldiers from Japanese warriors. They are all loyal and loyal compatriots of our family."

Stepping over the threshold of the barracks, Li Dan was not used to seeing military houses with single-family guards or endless tents. Li Dan was not used to this kind of barracks connected by stairs.

Regardless of the shape and structure, Chen Mu's bedroom, which is the deepest bedroom from the corridor, is only a few steps square, without a screen, with a bed, a table and two suitcases. Is this also called a room?
There are several large maps nailed to the wall with iron nails, which have been drawn messily by lines drawn with charcoal pencils, making the space appear even narrower.When Li Dan's entourage scraped the black gold bamboo pattern and changed its roots to lacquer the wooden box and put it in the house, it made the house nowhere to go.

Chen Mu opened the lacquered wooden box with a casual smile, took out a thick stack of official documents, and said, "This kind of hut is quite comfortable, I'm just staying for a while, and the military mansion has gone to recruit soldiers, so we need to build the barracks first." Come out, it’s not too late to build the yamen when the recruits come, how have you been in Japan for the past two years?”

"Father Lao misses you, the baby is fine."

The entourage was summoned outside, and when Li Dan saw Chen Mu making a move, he quickly pulled back his sleeves to help take out the official document, saying: "At the beginning, I was in Wudao, and later I went to Izumo to suppress Shijian. I sent troops several times, but they didn't go into battle. There is no risk in guarding against Shanyin and Shanyang.”

Since Li Dan is here and the document is here, Chen Mu is not in a hurry to learn about the military. On the top of the document is a general chapter of the war signed by Chen Jiujing. After a few days, but knowing that he was transferred to Japan after graduating from the Navy Lecture Hall, the general chapter of the battle report he wrote must be clearer, so he picked it up and read it.

"It means that King Qin's army is still in the Kansai area of ​​Japan, and failed to enter Wangjing." Chen Mu turned his head and looked up at Li Dan with a smile and asked, "What, have you ever met a favorite woman over there or in the middle school?" ? When Japan is settled, our fleet will sail to the other side of the sea. It is best to have children to inherit the family business before leaving."

Li Dan paused when he put down the official document, then put down the official document calmly, and said: "My child has no plans to marry a wife and have children, but in recent years, I have been studying Europa books under the guidance of the Nanyang Military Government, and also through the missionaries over there. Acquired some original manuscripts, fluent in listening, speaking, reading and writing, presumably able to handle the arrangement of the adoptive father for the child in Europa."

It sounds like Li Dan has no interest in marrying a wife and having children. Chen Mu frowned slightly and asked, "What about Balang, he doesn't plan to marry a wife and have children?"

"Perhaps it is because of the influence of the child. Hachiro has no plans to get married, but adopted a adopted son in Japan." Li Dan didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he turned the topic to the battle situation, saying: "Except for the area around Wangjing. , the large areas of Kansai and Kanto are under the control of the imperial court, but its king is held hostage by rebel officials such as Oda and Tokugawa, and the child is in charge of Kansai's luggage, and Kanto is guarded by generals Li Rusong and Ni Shangzhong leading the Kuwu Sanwei. Squeeze."

It sounded like the situation was going well. Chen Mu nodded slowly, focusing on Chen Jiujing's battle report, and asked in surprise, "In two years, there have been more than 400 battles in Kansai alone?"

Chen Mu calculated in his heart, if the Guandong was added, wouldn't it be possible to fight two battles in one day?There is something wrong with this battle report!

"Since the imperial court intervened in its war, there were two parties from the generals down to the common people in the Wa Kingdom. One was the Qin Wang Party, which was close to Ming Dynasty, and the other was the rebellious Qing Ming Party. Zong Lin was killed, and Zong Lin was expelled by Shimadzu, and all the battles in this battle report are recorded by Jinyi stalls scattered all over the country, it is true."

Chen Mu raised his hand, as the Nanyang Military Government had more and more information on Japan, even though the country was in chaos, Chen Mu knew something about it, and he could remember the names of Kyushu Island. I was also puzzled by what I said, put down the battle report and asked: "General King Qin, Matsuura Takanobu, Otomo Zonglin, and the Shimadzu family... What are Daming's troops doing, what are Hachiro doing, why are they fighting back and forth all the time? "

"Balang." Li Dan raised his hand and flipped through a few pages at the end of Chen Jiujing's battle report, checked a line in the luggage article, and said to Chen Mu: "In the first year of Wanli, it is strange that Shi Jian lost 19 taels of silver to Yinqi Island. In 7000, it was strange to lose 24 taels of silver, but now Yinqi Island has reached 3000 taels of silver.”

　Good morning!
