"Mr. Chu, we meet again." At the banquet between the sect leader and the shogunate, a middle-aged man toasted Chu Qi.

Chu Qi knew this person, and he saw a Shimazu family retainer he saw in the Satsuma clan: "Okupo Rito, congratulations to your head on entering the shogunate cabinet. The Satsuma clan has a greater say in the East from now on."

Okupo Rito said: "When the head of the family heard that the establishment of the Magami Ichiha Cabinet was established, our Satsuma Domain also had a place, so he immediately came to Edo Castle. The Ming Empire looked down on us so much that it would not do anything in the future. Lord Chu served as the Qiangu, the Jinyiwei, and please show mercy to our Satsuma Domain in the future."

Chu Qi knew that the Ming Empire regarded the Eastern Shogunate as a thug, and would soon use this power. As the number one soldier in the Eastern Ocean, the Satsuma clan still had to manage a good relationship with the people of the Satsuma clan: "The Satsuma clan has its current status, which is the treatment you deserve."

The newly appointed cabinet ministers of the shogunate cabinet took this opportunity to communicate with members of the envoys of the sect leader.

If they want to be able to survive in the shogunate cabinet, they also have to look at the face of the sect leader.

The core members of the new shogun Cabinet include the shogun Tokugawa Ieshiro, two new elders, Nobumasa Ando, ​​Hirosaki Hiroshou, Satsuma, Shinshu, Sendai, and Kaga, and two officials sent by the Ming Empire, a total of nine.

The nine members of the shogunate cabinet were one more than the eight imagined, but given that the shogun and two big bosses were standing on the side of the Ming Empire, the four vassals could not make a fuss.

As an extremely young member, Chu Qi also came to make friends with him.

A shogunate official in his forties came over and tried to get to know Chu Qi: "This lord is..."

Chu Qi always feels a little weird when he is called an adult by someone older than him, but this is the advantage of being an official of the Sect Master: "The Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei Qianhu Chu Qi."

The man exclaimed: "It turns out that he is the Lord Qianhu of the Jinyiwei. You are not wearing a flying fish suit today, so I can't recognize you. I thought that another young talent appeared in the Ming Dynasty's envoy. I am the army of the shogunate who pursued the marching sea, and I am honored to know you."

The Army pursued it?

The current shogunate army is established to implement the army, and the navy is enforcing two positions. In other words, the army in front of us is the shogunate army marshal, and will rectify 240,000 new troops with the help of the Ming Empire.

In the Ming Empire, there was no general who could control 240,000 troops in normal times, and only the Ministry of War was qualified.

However, even if the army pursues it, without the support of the sect leader, it is difficult to control the unruly legions in the East.

Just like Naoki Ii, Zhou Haisheng is an open puppet, and I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War is really commanding 240,000 Eastern soldiers.

At this time, Zhang Wen said to Zhou Haisheng: "This person's father is Chu Xin, the Minister of War."

When Zhou Haisheng heard that Chu Qi's father was the Minister of War, he wanted to be close to Chu Qi's: "It turned out to be the son of the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the tiger father has no dog son. When he saw him today, the ancients did not deceive me."

The Minister of War is his real immediate boss.

The Army pursues this position on the surface and is under the management of the shogunate, but it is not really possible for the shogunate to decide who will take it.

The troops of the Eastern Shogunate had to obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War, and the Ming Dynasty was in charge of the Minister of War, and the Minister of War indirectly became the superior of the Shogunate Army.

"Congratulations to you for serving as the Shogunate Army, and will become famous all over the world in the future." Chu Qi also gave him face. On the contrary, the power and position pursued by the East Shogunate Army are still much higher than that of his junior.

"Mr. Chu, ten years ago, the Battle of Southeast Asia, I served in the Shogunate Navy's Kaiyang. At that time, I was still under the command of Lord Chu Xin. Unexpectedly, ten years later, his sons had grown up. It was really young and promising!" The Shogunate Navy pursued the practice of the Navy. Wu Yang heard that Chu Qi was the son of the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, so he also took the initiative to find Chu Qi to clink his cups.

These people are not just meeting Chu Qi. As a military intelligence agency, the Jinyiwei will definitely cooperate with the other party in the future.

Chu Qi's father served as the general of Malacca ten years ago and organized a maritime battle. Many people in the Toyo Shogunate used to work under his father's command.

At that time, not only the Eastern Shogunate, but also the troops of vassal states such as Goryeo, Annan, and Siam were obedient under their jurisdiction.

But there is no doubt that Chu Xin, the general of Malacca in the Ming army, was the most dazzling existence at that time, so that after the end of the naval battle ten years ago, Chu Xin quickly became the Minister of War.

Sure enough, some Eastern officials who had obeyed orders from Chu Xin's account came to persuade Chu Qi to drink.

The banquet at the Red Leaf Pavilion lasted all day, and the Ming Empire used it to win over the hearts of the people of the Eastern Shogunate. Chu Qi also basically met a new group of senior officials in charge of the Eastern Shogunate.

He didn't expect that he would meet this group of people soon in the next task.

Li Yanguang and Guo Yan almost supported Chu Qi back.

It’s not that Chu Qi is not good, but that a new group of senior officials of the shogunate heard that Chu Qi was the only son of the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty and a member of the Jinyiwei, so almost everyone drank wine with Chu Qi.

Chu woke up the next day and felt a pain in his head. He poured several glasses of water before he could relieve his mouth and tongue.

The Makubashi Ichi and the Cabinet have been established, and this is probably the purpose of the Ming Empire sending an envoy.

If the mission mission is achieved, the mission mission can return to Beijing triumphantly.

Just as Chu Qi thought that the mission was about to end and he could return to the capital smoothly, Guo Yan had been waiting outside for Chu Qi to wake up.

"Sir, this is a top secret telegram sent by the commander from the imperial city. Please check it out."

Chu Qi received a telegram from the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the recipient of the telegram was Chu Qi himself.

Generally speaking, the orders issued directly to Qianhu by the commander of the Jinyiwei are extraordinary tasks.

As expected, Chu Qi opened the message and the commander of the Jinyiwei, Shen Jianxing, personally issued an order to go to Yokohama Port to find a Ming merchant ship from North America and bring a man named Li back to the Ming Dynasty safely.

The Ming merchant ship returned from North America...

At present, the Ming Empire was in a relatively peaceful period with other Western powers. During this period, Ming merchant ships went to San Francisco and other places on the west coast of North America to trade.

In the steam era, war is ultimately for trade services.

But what is this person named "Li"? He needs a commander to personally order Chu Qi to bring him back to the Ming Dynasty safely?

Did the man named Li come from North America again?

Chu Qi couldn't think of who the other party was for a while.
