At this moment, in the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion, Liu Mi, the governor of Jinyiwei Town, was sipping tea leisurely.
At this moment, Hu Zongxian walked into the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion with steady steps.
Upon seeing this, Liu Mi put down the tea cup in his hand slowly, then stood up from his seat, cupped his hands to Hu Zongxian, and said.
"I've met Governor Hu!"
Hearing this, Hu Zongxian smiled, and after sitting down in his own seat, he asked.
"There's no need for us to be so estranged from each other. Tell me, what's the matter with this visit?"
When Liu Mi heard this, a smile appeared on his face at the right time. After stroking his beard, he spoke slowly.
"I think the time is ripe now. It's time to send those Japanese pirates who surrendered to our Ming Dynasty earlier to Japan to spy on relevant information for our Ming Dynasty."
When Hu Zongxian heard this, an expression of anticipation suddenly appeared on his face, and he nodded to express his attitude.
"Well, I also think it's time. After all, they have proven their loyalty in the recent anti-Japanese operation."
When Hu Zongxian said this, he paused for a moment and then continued.
"It's time to let them play their due role!"
Seeing that Hu Zongxian agreed to his proposal, Liu Mi was in a good mood. Immediately, he looked at the ground casually and asked.
"By the way, who will lead these Japanese pirates then?"
When Hu Zongxian heard this, the look in his eyes flashed, and he responded shortly after.
"Those Japanese pirates should be led by you, the Jin Yiwei governor. After all, you are an expert in this field."
Liu Mi seemed to have expected what Hu Zongxian would say. He picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and said with emotion.
"That's right. After all, the burden on you, Hu Zongxian, is not light!"
When Hu Zongxian heard this, he did not respond at all, he just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Liu Mi immediately put down the tea cup in his hand, then changed the subject and asked tentatively.
"By the way, how long does it take for Your Majesty to summon you to Beijing?"
When Hu Zongxian heard this, his thoughts seemed to fly to a very far away place. It took a long time before he came back to his senses and gave a response.
"His Majesty said at the beginning that after all the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast have been wiped out, he would formally summon me to the capital!"
"From the current point of view, it should be about this period of time."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mi immediately stood up from his seat, with an inexplicable smile on his face. He cupped his hands to Hu Zongxian and said in a deep voice: "Then I am right here. Congratulations in advance to Governor Hu. No, it's Hu Ge." old!"
"In addition, please take good care of Hu Ge when he gets old..."
Seeing that Liu Mi still wanted to continue this topic, Hu Zongxian immediately interrupted.
"Okay, okay, sit down quickly!"
"Let's talk about how to make these Japanese pirates wholeheartedly work for the Ming Dynasty!"
Liu Mi heard this and responded without thinking: "It's very simple, either give them tangible benefits, or give them deep-rooted fear."
"The former gives them the motivation to work hard for my Ming Dynasty, and the latter makes them dare not betray my Ming Dynasty easily!"
"Justify their behavior and give them a reasonable excuse. Then I won't need to waste any more words. They will convince themselves."
When Liu Mi said this, he paused for a moment and then continued to add.
"These methods have been tried and tested, and no one can resist them!"
After hearing Liu Mi's response, Hu Zongxian felt relieved and immediately spoke.
"I will write a letter to Qi Jiguang later, and you will be able to take charge of those Japanese pirates."
"Um."
…
In the suburbs, there is a military camp where Qi Jiguang's troops are stationed.
Since the last time he followed Hu Zongxian and wiped out all the Japanese pirates in the Jingning area, Qi Jiguang has fallen into a state of doing nothing.
In addition to daily military training, he stayed in the camp and studied military books every day.
It is worth mentioning that since the last time Tsunoda Makoto and others worked together to kill Matsushita Toyotsuna in front of many Ming troops, they have been recognized.
They were organized into a separate battalion by Qi Jiguang. Not only that, Qi Jiguang also taught them some simple battle formation methods from time to time, so that they could barely protect themselves when facing the enemy.
However, the battle formations Qi Jiguang taught them had long been eliminated by the Ming army. These battle formations were quite effective against the famous armies, but if they wanted to use these battle formations against the Ming army, then It’s just wishful thinking!
Any Ming soldier who has received formal training can see the flaws at a glance.
On the school field, Qi Jiguang looked at Makoto Tsunoda and others who were training hard in battle formations in the distance, and nodded slightly.
After hard training, they have become familiar with the battle formations taught to them by Qi Jiguang, and their mutual understanding has also been greatly improved in the process.
After such a period of time together, Tsunoda Makoto can speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin quite fluently, and the remaining people can also understand some simple words.
At this moment, Qi Jiguang's personal bodyguard walked up quickly and reported respectfully.
"General, the Governor has sent you a letter!"
When Qi Jiguang heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he immediately turned around and gave instructions.
"Well, bring people here!"
"Yes, General!"
Qi Jiguang's personal bodyguard heard this and left quickly.
Not long after, under the guidance of this personal guard, an official from the Governor's Mansion stepped forward quickly and saluted Qi Jiguang respectfully.
"I have met General Qi!"
"Um."
When Qi Jiguang heard this, he nodded slightly in response.
After that, the official of the Governor's Mansion carefully took out the envelope from his arms, handed it to Qi Jiguang respectfully, and said in a deep voice.
"General Qi, this is the Governor, and I have entrusted my subordinate to send you a letter!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiguang took the envelope from the official's hand and immediately spoke.
"Well, I have received the letter. Now you can go back and resume your life!"
When the official heard this, he bowed his hands to Qi Jiguang, his face full of gratitude.
"Thank you, General Qi!"
Seeing that his mission for this trip had been completed, the official from the Governor's Mansion did not stay too long in the camp. Instead, he was escorted by several Ming soldiers and left in the direction he came from.
After the official from the Governor's Mansion left, Qi Jiguang opened the envelope in his hand and read the contents.
The content of the letter is very simple. Hu Zongxian mentioned in the letter that he asked Qi Jiguang to hand over all Kakuda Makoto and others to the command of Jin Yiwei's envoy Liu Mi.
After Qi Jiguang read the contents of the letter, he carefully put the letter away, and after calming down his inner emotions, he walked into the school grounds.
When Makoto Tsunoda and others saw Qi Jiguang's arrival, they trained even harder. After getting along with each other in recent days, they had an indescribable feeling of respect for Qi Jiguang, who taught them the battle formation.
In their opinion, Qi Jiguang was quite capable. Not only did he love his soldiers like a son, he would eat and live with them, but he was also a good fighter. The most important thing was that the soldiers would obey Qi Jiguang's orders without hesitation. Do it without hesitation!
The Ming army commanded by Qi Jiguang was not only well-equipped, command-line and extremely tenacious in fighting, but more importantly, this army was mostly composed of veterans who had experienced the ordeal of blood and fire and had grown from the mountains of corpses. Crawled out of the sea of blood.
Their elite level is comparable to that of the border troops stationed on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty. In some places, they are even stronger than the border troops.
According to the estimates of Tsunoda Makoto and others, the Ming army in front of them can defeat enemies several times their own without falling behind.
If those daimyo armies were unfortunate enough to encounter the Ming army in front of them, then the only outcome waiting for them would be a one-sided massacre!
After that, Qi Jiguang came to Tsunoda Makoto and others who were practicing the battle formation. Seeing this, Tsunoda Makoto quickly signaled his companions to stop temporarily, then faced Qi Jiguang, bowed his head deeply and said respectfully.
"Meet the general!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiguang withdrew his gaze from Tsunoda Makoto, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke loudly.
"From today on, you will no longer be under the jurisdiction of this general!"
After hearing this, Makoto Tsunoda's face was filled with shock, and then an indescribable feeling of loss filled his heart. He was timid for a long time, but still did not say a word.
Although the remaining people could not quite understand Qi Jiguang's words, they could tell from the expression on Makoto Tsunoda's face that something big had happened. Because of this, the remaining people became hesitant.
Seeing this, Qi Jiguang withdrew his gaze and immediately explained: "Because you have shown your loyalty before, now you are a member of my Ming Dynasty!"
"You will be dispatched to the Kyushu region of Japan to collect relevant intelligence for the Ming Dynasty. The person who will be in charge of leading you next will be Lord Liu, the envoy of Jin Yiwei!"
"In addition, as long as you can collect valuable information, you will receive extremely generous rewards. One day, you may even be able to bring your family members to live in the Ming Dynasty!"
As soon as Qi Jiguang finished speaking, the look of shock on Makoto Tsunoda's face became even more intense. In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty in front of him was extremely rich and powerful. Wasn't he just taking the risk to let his family live a good life?
Moreover, a wealthy and powerful Ming Dynasty, no matter what, would be much better than the situation in China where warlords fight and the big names are divided!
After all, the people here in the Ming Dynasty can be treated as human beings no matter how hard they are. For fear of provoking civil unrest, the government does not dare to squeeze too much. If anyone among the descendants can pass the imperial examination, it can be done in an instant. Class crossing.
As for the civilians in Japan, not only did they have no way to advance, but they were also regarded as pigs and dogs by the daimyo and samurai, and they were humiliated wantonly. More importantly, as long as the daimyo felt the need, they could recruit these civilians at any time and treat them as soldiers. Cannon fodder to use.
After this, Makoto Tsunoda reacted and immediately relayed Qi Jiguang's words to his companions intact.
After hearing this, the remaining people's faces were filled with excitement. For them, this was an unimaginable gift!
As long as you can make your family live a good life, so what if you become Ming's dog?
Just like this, how many people want to be a person, but they don’t have the opportunity yet!
After that, Qi Jiguang gave a few words of encouragement and promised some insignificant benefits. The emotions of Tsunoda Makoto and others also became higher and higher. They couldn't wait to work for Ming Dynasty!
…
At this moment, in the room, Liu Mi, the governor of Jinyiwei, was sitting at the top, quietly listening to the report of his subordinates.
After Qi Jiguang received Hu Zongxian's handwritten letter, he quickly handed over Makoto Tsunoda and others to the Jin Yiwei who came to take care of them.
"Sir, those Japanese pirates who surrendered to our Ming Dynasty earlier have gathered outside. Look..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mi picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and immediately gave instructions.
"Well, I'll be over there right now!"
After that, Liu Mi put down the tea cup in his hand, and then followed the steps of the Jin Yiwei to the yard.
In the courtyard, Makoto Tsunoda and his companions had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Liu Mi arriving, they were even more excited and stood taller.
After Liu Mi looked around, he nodded slightly and immediately spoke.
"Well, that's right. It seems Qi Jiguang didn't teach you in vain!"
After that, Liu Mi changed the topic and spoke unhurriedly.
"Presumably Qi Jiguang has roughly discussed all the conditions with you before this, right?"
As soon as Liu Mi finished speaking, Makoto Tsunoda stood up and responded in a deep voice: "Yes, sir, the general has told us before!"
After Liu Mi heard this, he immediately felt relieved and continued to add.
"In this case, I can rest assured. You will be sent to the Kyushu region to collect relevant intelligence for my Ming Dynasty!"
When Liu Mi said this, he paused for a moment and continued: "Every time you collect a piece of valuable information, you will be rewarded with at least fifty taels of silver. The specific reward depends on the value of the information! "
"Not only that, but I can also put a point in your credit book."
After hearing this, Tsunoda Makoto immediately relayed Liu Mi's words to the others intact.
Everyone was very confused about the credit record Liu Mi mentioned. Immediately, Makoto Kakuda stood up and asked Liu Mi.
"Sir, what do you mean by merit book?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mi turned his gaze to Tsunoda Makoto, without any impatient look on his face, and immediately explained.
"The scores on the merit book represent your contributions to our Ming Dynasty. The higher the score, the better treatment you can enjoy. When the score reaches thirty points, you can bring your family to Receive Daming to live here!"
"At that time, you and your families will have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy all the glory and wealth. If your contribution is large enough, becoming an official will not be impossible!"
"In addition, the higher the value of the intelligence, the higher the score you can get!"
After Liu Mi's words were relayed to others through Tsunoda Makoto, their breathing became rapid.
If you provide information, you can get real gold and silver rewards. Moreover, when you accumulate a certain level of merit, you can not only become an official, but also bring your family to live in the Ming Dynasty and enjoy the glory and wealth!
For most people present, this is an offer that cannot be refused!
