The old-fashioned shark boats with high forecastle and aft tower docked at Tianjin Port. On the ship, warriors with shaved hair in the shape of a moon-shaped Japanese man slowly moved out of the ship. They were wearing Ming armor and slid into the Japanese belt. They were obviously shaved but were wrapped in Ming people's hair scarves. They were also restrained during the journey, making it difficult to tell which country they belong to, which caused commotion among the people of Tianjin Port.

The Ming army who came to pick up the response solved this problem well. The elite servants from the Beiyang Military Office carrying bird guns took over the port defense from the terrified Dagukou Baihu, and attracted Lifu to carry shark boats to put down Japanese specialty lacquerware boxes.

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

He had been on the boat for many days and received the news that Fu Yuanchuan had been summoned by Chen Mu. He took a boat from Shijian to pass through the five islands to supply supplies. He then went directly to Tianjin Wei, and then got off the boat for three days.

In the Wei River, Li Dan and his group of more than a hundred people took river boats and sailed for more than twenty miles in the river before reaching the Beiyang Military Mansion.

Chen Mu had just returned to Beiyang from the capital. He heard that Li Dan had been waiting on the port ship for several days. He quickly asked someone to call him off the boat and take a bath in the infantry barracks. Before his hair was dry, he changed his clothes and walked out of the barracks. He happened to see the gap in the military mansion that had not been built. A group of warriors with armor and sunshine were following a group of Japanese pirates who were keeping pace with the times, which made him shake his head secretly.

After not seeing him for a long time, Li Dan's skin became a little darker and looked stronger, but now he is no longer the descendant of a young boy pirate like in his early years. He has a jade pendant hanging around his waist and a jade ring wrapped in a hair towel. He has no sign of military costumes except his innate temperament.

"I pay homage to my foster father, congratulations to my foster father for his title!"

Before taking a few steps in front of him, Li Dan first bowed down, and then followed the military officers bowed down, giving Chen Mu a big gift. This was nothing strange. However, the guys who looked like Japanese warriors spoke Chinese in a straightforward manner, some said "Worship with the Eastern Shenshou" and some simply "Worship with the Grand Marshal", which surprised Chen Mu.

When Li Dan got up, Chen Mu ordered his subordinates to prepare meals for everyone at the school grounds, and asked Li Dan with him to enter the barracks. Then he asked: "When they are all at Tianjin Port, why don't they get off the boat first and fall on the sea and wander for a few days to suffer."

"The adoptive father is not in Tianjin. My brothers shaved the Japanese heads for cheap work, for fear of disturbing the people." Li Dan followed Chen Mu into the barracks and looked around and explained softly. Finally, he looked around the vast schoolyard and took a deep breath, crossed the barracks threshold, and then said: "I have been used to wandering around these years, and I am not here for these days."

"They aren't Japanese?"

Li Dan smiled and shook his head, saying, "The boy did not take them to Tianjin to visit. The adoptive father took over the East and had to control the responsibilities of the army and report the military information. They all had to report it to others. Such a confidentiality, how could he hand it over to the foreign countries and foreign races?"

"They have the brocade clothes, businessmen, pirates, and soldiers who have served in the Japanese military family. They are all loyal to our compatriots."

After crossing the threshold of the barracks, he was used to seeing the military houses of a single courtyard or a military camp with endless tents. This kind of barracks connecting up and down stairs made Li Dan a little uncomfortable, and asked carefully: "Will the adoptive father live here?"

Putting aside the shape, I just talked about Chen Mu's bedroom that walked to the deepest from the corridor, but only a few steps away from the abbot, without even a screen, and a cloth bed, one table and two wardrobes. Is this also called a room?

Several large maps were nailed on the wall with iron nails, and the lines were drawn with charcoal pens, making the space even smaller. When Li Dan's follower scraped the black gold bamboo pattern and turned it into a root, he put the lacquered wooden box in the house, and put the room without any place to put it.

Chen Mu smiled disconcertedly and opened the lacquered wooden box, moved out a thick stack of official documents from the inside, and said, "This kind of cabin is quite comfortable. I'm just staying for a while. The military mansion has already gone to recruit soldiers, so I have to build the barracks first. It's not too late to build the yamen when the new recruits come. How are you doing in Japan in the past two years?"

"Lao's charity is concerned about his father, and the child is fine."

The entourage was ordered outside. When Li Dan saw Chen Mu taking action, he quickly closed his sleeves to help bring out the official documents and said, "Start at the five islands, but later he went to Izuiyun to suppress the stones. He sent troops several times but did not go into battle. They were all garrisoning around Shanyin and Shanyang, and there was no risk."

Since Li Dan is here and the documents are here, Chen Mu is not in a hurry to understand the military. The top document has a general chapter of war signed by Chen Jiujing. It was written by Chen Lin's parent-child and Chen Mu's adopted son. Although Chen Mu had never met the adopted son several times, he knew that he had been transferred to Japan after graduation from the Navy Martial Arts Hall. The general chapter of the war report he wrote should always be clearer, so he picked it up and read it.

"That is to say, the King's Army is still in the Kansai area of ​​Japan and cannot enter Wangjing." Chen Mu looked up at Li Dan and asked with a smile: "How about it, have you ever met a woman you like there or the middle school in the country? When Japan decides, our fleet will drive towards the other side of the sea. It is best to have children to inherit the family business before leaving."

Li Dan paused slightly when he put down the official document, and then calmly put down the official document, saying: "The child has not yet planned to marry and have children. However, in recent years, he has been studying Europa books under the delivery of the Nanyang Military Office. He also learned some original manuscripts through the missionaries there. He was fluent in both listening, speaking, reading and writing. He must be able to handle the adoptive father's arrangements for his child in Europa."

It sounds like Li Dan is not interested in marrying a wife and having children. Chen Mu frowned slightly and asked, "Where is Hachiro, he doesn't plan to marry a wife and have children?"

"Maybe because of the influence of his child, Hachiro had no plans to get married, but he accepted an adopted son in Japan." Li Dan did not want to say too much about this matter, and turned the topic to the war situation, saying: "Except for the area of ​​Wangjing, Kansai, a large area of ​​land in Kansai has been under the control of the court, but the king was held hostage by Oda, Tokugawa and other rebel ministers. The boy was in charge of the supplies in Kansai, and Kansai was the general Li Rusong, and Ni Shangzhong led the three guards of Kuwu to guard and suppress the troops."

It sounded like the situation was very good, Chen Mu nodded slowly, focused on Chen Jiujing's general report, and said in surprise: "In two years, Guanxi alone has more than 400 battles been fought?"

Chen Mu made up his mind, if Guandong is added, he will not be able to fight two wars a day? There is something wrong with this battle report!

"From the state intervened in its war, the Japanese state, from generals to the people, can be divided into two parties, one is the royal party close to the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the rebellious Ming party. First, Matsuura Takanobu was appointed by the imperial court to serve the king, and later Takanobu was killed by Zonglin, and Zonglin was expelled by Shimazu. All the wars were recorded in the brocade scattered in various parts of the people, which is indeed the case."

Chen Mu raised his hand and as the Nanyang Military Office had more and more information about Japan, his country's situation was in chaos, Chen Mu also knew something. He could remember the names of several daimyos on Kyushu Island. Even after hearing what Li Dan said, he was puzzled. He put down the war report and asked: "General of the King, Takanobu Matsuura, Sorin Otomo, and Shimazu family... What are the Ming army doing, what are Hachiro doing, why are they fighting all the time?"
